JavaScript - Javascript Document.write Loop Help
I have am currently taking over as the developer for this web site, and the developer who left the project unfinished wrote a script. What it does is takes posts from vBulletin forums, for instance News posts, and then it grabs the posts by ID and Title and writes the title on the home page of the web site. The problem right now that I have is the test wraps, you can see what I mean here http://www.netcodeilluminati.com/v2
If you look on the left, I want to make the text cut off after a certain amount of characters with "..." at the end as if there is more to the title but you can't see it. Here is the script: for (x = 0; x < 5; x++) { document.write("<li><div class=\"li_icon\"><img src=\"images/icons/text.png\" alt=\"text\" /></div><div class=\"li_text\">"); document.write("<a href=\"../forums/showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a></div></li>"); } I was wondering how I could go about doing this. Thanks for any future help. -Kevin Similar Tutorialsmy arrays. how do i input them into the loop? firstName = new Array(); lastName = new Array(); street = new Array(); city = new Array(); state= new Array(); zip = new Array(); amount = new Array(); date = new Array() Code: <script type=text/javascript> var values = []; var SIZE = 10; document.write('<table class="mytable" border="1">'); for (var index = 1; index <= SIZE; index++) { document.write('<tr><td>'); values.push(Math.random()); document.write(values[values.length -1]); document.write('</tr></td>'); } document.write('</table>'); var sum = 0.0; for (var index = 0; index < values.length; index++) { sum += values[index]; } document.write('<table class="totaltable" border="1">'); document.write('<tr><td>Total Number of Rows</td></tr><td> Total Sum</td></tr>'); document.write('<tr><td>' + values.length + '</td></tr>' + sum + '</td></tr>'); ('</table>'); </script> Without elaboration plz see my code: Code: <body> <script> var b="s"; </script> <button target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://......php?b="javascript:document.write(b);"&id=2&q=<?php print $_GET['q']; ?>','1','');return false;">xyz</button> </body> i don understand why this javascript:document.write(b); doesnt work in url... i know its simple yet it make my hair out of my head. plz count it.. I've written the following html, <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function createpage(){ var first = document.getElementById('first').value var second = document.getElementById('second').value var third = document.getElementById('third').value var j = window.open('random'); var new_page = '<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function open_win() { window.open(first) window.open(second) window.open(third) } </script></head><body onLoad = "open_win()"></body></html>'; j.document.write(new_page); j.document.close(); } </script> </head> <body> <form action=""> <p> First Link: <input type="text" id="first" name="first"/> Second Link: <input type="text" id="second" name="second"/> Third Link: <input type="text" id="third" name="third"/> <input type=BUTTON value="Submit" name="mySubmit" onClick="createpage();return false;"> </p> </form> </body> </html> With the intention to eventually implement it into a website that "mashes" several URLs together into a tinyurl that, upon being opened, creates several tabs of the content the creator wanted in the single URL. Does that make sense? In order to best do this I figured a page with a random character string (I haven't yet implemented this part, for now 'random' holds the place of the new page/link) would have to be created that would launch all the tabs and then close itself. Here's what it should do... 1) User enter 3 URLs into three forms: First Link: <input type="text" id="first" name="first"/> Second Link: <input type="text" id="second" name="second"/> Third Link: <input type="text" id="third" name="third"/> 2) User clicks Submit button that calls "createpage()" function that's declared in the <head>er. The first part of this function declares the links that were inputted as variables first, second, and, third. <script type="text/javascript"> function createpage(){ var first = document.getElementById('first').value var second = document.getElementById('second').value var third = document.getElementById('third').value 3) "createpage()" function then declares a new window named 'random' to variable j (I have random.html stored in the same folder as this project. It is empty.) var j = window.open('random') 4) Next "createpage()" creates a variable that stores a full page's html code that includes a script that launches each link individually with window.open(). var new_page = '<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function open_win() { window.open(first) window.open(second) window.open(third) } </script></head><body onLoad = "open_win()"></body></html>'; 5) "createpage()" writes the code (stored in variable 'new_page') to document 'random' with j.document.write(new_page); 6) "createpage()" closes the document. I'm working on a website that will basically embed a widget/frame sent by a handler into a user's current page. The user basically adds a script tag to where they would like the HTML to be. The script tag has their settings and is basically a document.write that calls all the code that we want displayed. So here's my problem. We have a map that we need to add in a specific section, and to get the map we have to call another script tag. So we end up having a script tag (map) embedded in another script tag (the code for the widget/frame) or we end up having to document.write inside a document.write. Now this works just fine and as expected in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Internet Explorer and Opera wait until the first document.write is completely finished before calling the embedded one. Of course the problem with this, is that it takes the map out of the document's flow and just appends it to the bottom left of the page. Since the rest of the page has already been called, there's no way to move the interior "map" script. Any ideas? Basically just trying to figure out how (if even possible) to render an embedded script tag in Internet Explorer and be able to place it properly. I've tried everything that I can think of, including AJAX and Google's unescape script. Any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Or even if you've encountered a similar problem, and know that it just isn't possible in IE or Opera, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance! My code is here and it works ... However, I would like my dynamic table to show on the same page as my body and not on a new blank page. I have created a DIV and try playing around with the document.getElementById('monTab').innerHTML but it's not working out for me ... What am i missing ?

Thanks in advanced :D What is an alternative to document.write? I know I could use <p> in html </p> I would like to use JS though. I hope you can understand my question. I am 14yo and this is not for homework. I just wanna try and learn JS. I read document.write can cause me problems. But all I ever see is: <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("any words"); </script> what alternate could I use? Hello, I'm new to Javascript. I know how to make a script that when you click on a button it changes a variable. I also know that with document.write I can express this variable but I do not know how to refresh document.write! For example, if I have a var car =3 and when I click on a button car++ (or increases by 1 so it becomes 4 then 5 and so forth depending how many times you click the button) and I write document.write (car), it only shows the 3 and no matter how many times I click on the button, the 3 doesn't change. How can I get the document.write to show the updated variable? Thanks! So I want to have a button that when I click it will change this variable and that number will change live on the page. I am very new to JavaScript, however I already seem semi-stumped. The tutorial I am using, mentions that for tutorial example purposes they use document.write() however it suggests that I avoid using this as it will overwrite the whole HTML page. I know that I can use document.getElementById() for some things... however this begs my question: When do you use document.write(), when do you use document.getElementById() and is there also another method you use to change/write to the HTML Document using JavaScript? Otherwise, do you just use document.getElementById() quite a lot in JavaScript? Like I said, I'm very new to JavaScript, so it's all still very new to me. Cheers, Asher document.write("<table><tr><td><a href='#' onMouseOver='MM_swapImage('changeMe','','images/calNum/calNum4g.jpg',1);'><img id='changeMe' name='changeMe' src='images/calNum/calNum1.jpg' border='0'/></a></td></tr></table>"); basically the one thing I am know is a problem or at least where the problem starts is when the ","(comma) is added in the parathesis for the params of MM_swapImage. Whats the correct way to write those commas? is there any alternative to document.write() which writes only in a specific part of document, does not overwrite whole document. and yeah, in this case the document.getElementById().innerHTML dosent work either, coz its in a loop, here's the code if you wanna see: Code: if (aa==1) { for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) { c = txt; b = a[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue; // a is already assigned someplace in a xml document. txt = (b==" T4 ")? "T4 <br />": ""; document.write(c); } } Note: in the above code, the code: Code: txt = (b==" T4 ")? "T4 <br />": ""; is same as (also can be written as ) the code : Code: if (b==" T4 ") { txt = "T4 <br />" ; } else { txt = "" ; } Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting some spacing in my code. Here's my function below. Code: function buildResume() { resName = document.myResume.name.value resAddress = document.myResume.address.value resPhone = document.myResume.phone.value resEmail = document.myResume.email.value resInfo = document.myResume.info.value flyWindow = window.open() flyWindow.document.write(resName + "<br>" + resAddress + " / " + resPhone + "<br>" + resEmail + "<br>" + "<hr width=36% align=left>") flyWindow.document.write("Personal Information" + resInfo) } The part I'm trying to add spacing between this part. Code: flyWindow.document.write("Personal Information" + resInfo) It comes out as: Personal Information *whatever the value of resInfo is* I would like it so it reads as (underscores being the spaces): Personal Information________*whatever the value of resInfo is* I've tried using   but could not get it to work, maybe I'm using it wrong. If anyone could shed some light on this for me it'd really help. If you need to see some more of my code let me know too. Hello again, I've continued to study and work on JavaScript. I've had some problems with the document.write() function. When I try to do a math problem, the whole content of the page clears out and only displays the solution. For example: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function jahava() { var h = 1 var r = 4 var t = 5 document.write(h += r += t) } </script> </head> <body> <button OnClick="jahava()">Click Me!</button> </body> </html> So If I put other content, like the button I was displaying (which I wanted to stay visible), the function would make them all disappear. I would again appreciate any help towards this matter. Sincerely, Taro B. PS; This is not a calculator related problem, just in-general. Below is a mock snippet of what I need. I think the issue is Code: document.write(b) because if I change that to an alert, it works fine. I thought I was using the proper syntax, but I guess I am not. Can anyone help a noob? Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function d(){ a=document.getElementById("txt1").value; if(a > 1){ b=a/100; document.write(b) } else{ b=a; alert(b) } } </script> </head> <body> <form name="form"> <h2>This is a form</h2> <input type="text" id="txt1" name="txt"/> type here <br /> <button type="submit" id="btn" onclick="d()">Submit</button> </body> </html> Hey I'm having a problem with this line: Code: var val1 = document.sform.sel1.value; sform is the name of a form that the data is being put onto. Problem is I want to change that name to verifypage.php When I replace sform with the verifypage.php I believe (I have no clues on JS) that the . if the extension of verifypage.php is screwing the code up. It's a dynamic drop down list that I want to display the results on another page. Thanks! What other methods can I use to insert code into my HTML pages from an external file, that will be able to be picked up by search engines and will show entirely if you do a "View Source" on my page? I've been using document.write functions in my personal home page for doing things like maintaining nav. bars, footers, etc. However, the HTML that's written using document.write is not picked up by search engines being that its browser-side instead of server-side and if you view the source of the page, all it shows is the call to my JS function that does the document.writes. Im having an issue placing a document.write output in a specifc place (after my form), i want the document.write output to be produced from an if statement which is based on a variable within a function the document.write output is to be placed outside the script thought :S into another div CODE if (count<5) { document.write('unlucky') } any ideas? Hello everyone, I am new I found this site while searching for help with my problem. I'm new to javascript and having a very hard time with the document.write. Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? Error: missing ) after argument list Source File: file:///G:/CINS%20157/tutorial.12/case1/clist.htm Line: 79, Column: 58 Source Code: document.write("<th id='sumTitle' colspan='2'>" Summary "</th>"); Then there is an arrow pointing between the S and u in Summary. Even if you could just tell me where to look for help with the answer that would be greatly appreciated. If it helps this is the code it is attached to: <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("<table border='1' cellspacing='1'>"); document.write("<tr>"); document.write("<th id='sumTitle' colspan='2'>" Summary "</th>"); document.write("</tr>"); document.write("<tr><th>" Contributors "</th>"); document.write("<td>"+amount.length+ "</td></tr>"); document.write("<tr>") document.write("<th>"); document.write(Amount); document.write("</th>"); document.write("<td>"+amountTotal()+"</td>"); document.write("</tr>"); document.write("</table>"); </script> Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I really appreciate it. I have a series of videos which must be loaded dynamically on their pages which then get loaded into an iframe. I need to be able to load these videos using variables for the width and height. It's imperative that I use variables as the sizes of the movies will be determined by the user's resolution. Here's the code I'm currently using Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var dimW = screen.width; var dimH = screen.height; var w1 = dimW.toString(); var h1 = dimH.toString(); document.write('<OBJECT ID="Player" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" style=border:0px;">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="volume" value="50">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="mute" value="false">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="URL" value="../../../videos/oracleChangeLocation_1.wmv">\n'); document.write('<embed src="../../../videos/oracleChangeLocation_1.wmv" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" autoStart="True" uiMode="full" volume="50" mute="false">\n'); document.write('</embed>\n'); document.write('</OBJECT>\n'); </script> I'm developing in xhtml so naturally, IE doesn't recognize the document.write statements and the page comes up blank in IE. It works flawlessly in FireFox (as expected). So, I need to replace the document.write statements with something else while still being able to pass variables for the movie objects height & width. I've tried this code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> //alert("The beginning"); var dimW = window.innerWidth; var dimH = window.innerHeight; var w1 = dimW.toString(); var h1 = dimH.toString(); var theNewMovie = document.createElement('p'); var theTextOfTheMovie = document.createTextNode('<OBJECT ID="Player" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" style=border:0px;">\n<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">\n<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">\n<PARAM name="volume" value="50">\n<PARAM name="mute" value="false">\n<PARAM name="URL" value="../../../videos/oracleWelcome_1.wmv">\n<embed src="../../../videos/oracleWelcome_1.wmv" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" autoStart="True" uiMode="full" volume="50" mute="false">\n</embed>\n</OBJECT>\n'); theNewMovie.appendChild(theTextOfTheMovie); document.getElementById('mediaPlayer').appendChild(theNewMovie); </script> . I then have a <td> with the id of "mediaPlayer" but nothing is showing up. Most likely because I'm still fairly new to javascript and am probably forgetting or overlooking something. Can anyone give me any ideas, suggestions, or pointers as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks! M This seems like it should be easy but I can't figure it out. I am trying to set up a drop down list to interpret an abbreviation and to also hyper link to a site about the object. I want it to stay in the <textarea> and not write a new document but it is the only way I have been able to get a hyperlink. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
