JavaScript - Passing Variables And Other Stuff Back?
Hi all,
I'm quite new to Javascript, and I'm stuck with a problem here. I have a website, I won't go in to detail, but it generates some javascript code for the user. Well, that's the idea. The user puts this javascript on his or her website. Now everytime the page with that javascript is loaded, a page on my server is called, and is supposed to display something on the place of the javascript of that website. I however have not the slightest clue how to do this. The script on my server has to get some values from a database (I'll be doing this with php). Therefore are some variables needed, like ID's. Those are put in the javascript at the website of that person. (I know they could just change it, but that'd only disadvantage them) And example of the code the person with the website would get is this: (This was also generated on user basis somewhere, which does about the same thing) Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> var border = '#000000'; id = 1337; </script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://somesite.com/scriptname.php"> </script> If you don't understand what I'm trying to do here, please ask, because I might not've explained it clear enough. Thanks, lordstyx. [edit] Someone said to look in the direction of XMLHttpRequest. I don't really know what that is, but I'll try and find a bit more info about it. Similar TutorialsHello guys. I've been struggling on how to make this work. I have a problem in Javascript when it comes to passing of value in a input type field. page1.html Code: <html> <head><title></title></head> <form action="" method="post> <input type="text" name="weight" value=""><a href="hw_calculator.html" target="name" onclick="window.open('hw_calculator.html','name','height=270,width=370,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes'); return false;"> calculate </a> </form> </html> hw_calculator.html Code: <html> <head> <title> Height Converter (Metric/Standard) </title> </head> <body> <FORM> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round((P.value * 0.45359)*100))/100" name=K_expr> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round((K.value / 0.45359)*100))/100" name=P_expr> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round((F.value * 30.48 + I.value * 2.54)*100))/100" name=C_expr> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.floor(C.value / 30.48))" name=F_expr> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round(((C.value - (Math.floor(C.value / 30.48) * 30.48)) / 2.54)*100))/100" name=I_expr> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round(P.value * 0.45359))" name=K_exprrnd> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round(K.value / 0.45359))" name=P_exprrnd> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round(F.value * 30.48 + I.value * 2.54))" name=C_exprrnd> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.floor(C.value / 30.48))" name=F_exprrnd> <INPUT type=hidden value="(Math.round((C.value - (Math.floor(C.value / 30.48) * 30.48)) / 2.54))" name=I_exprrnd> <h2>Height Converter</h2> <table border="0" bgcolor="#FFFF99" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="6"> <tr> <td colspan> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px"><b>STANDARD</b></p> </td> <td></td> <td colspan> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px"><b>METRIC</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px">Feet : <input maxLength=1 size=1 value=0 name=F> Inches : <input maxLength=2 size=1 value=0 name=I> </td> <td> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px"> = </p> </td> <td> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px"><input maxLength=3 size=1 value=0 name=C disabled> cm.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="conv" colspan="2"> <input type="button" name="Taste" value="Calculate" onclick="if (rounded.checked == true) { eval('C.value = ' + this.form.C_exprrnd.value); eval('K.value = ' + this.form.K_exprrnd.value) } else { eval('C.value = ' + this.form.C_expr.value); eval('K.value = ' + this.form.K_expr.value) }"> <INPUT type=checkbox name="rounded" value="rounded" checked disabled><font size="1" face="Verdana">Rounded Result</font> </td> </tr> </table> <p class="conv" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px"> </body> </html> I want the value of Code: <input maxLength=3 size=1 value=0 name=C disabled> , this is from hw_calculator.html, to be passed on the Code: <input type="text" name="weight" value=""> on page1.html. How can I do this? Huge thanks. I have an HTML page that is making use of JQUERY and many other JQUERY plugins. Inside this HTML page there are 2 different types of iFrames that display PHP forms. One is a normal iFrame: Code: <iframe height="740" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="width:100%;border:none;overflow-x:hidden" src="https://www.website.com/machform/embed.php?id=9" title="Contact Us"><a href="https://www.website.com/machform/view.php?id=9" title="Contact Us">Contact Us</a></iframe> The other makes use of a JQUERY plugin called Shadowbox: Code: <a href="https://www.website.com/machform/embed.php?id=8" rel="shadowbox;width=1100;height=950;player=iframe" class="button1"><span></span><strong>Click Here</strong></a> Inside these iFrames are PHP forms from a PHP form application called MachForm, which is highly customizable. Here are the questions. Ultimately, I want to accomplish 2 things: 1. I would like to send variable information from the PHP form in the iFrame to my HTML page, to be displayed within javascripts. For example: If someone fills out a PHP form in my iFrame and clicks submit, I want to have a JQUERY popup say, "Thank you, [NAME]". 2. When the user submits the form, the action of clicking the submit button in the PHP form should enable #1, above. There needs to be a way to tell the HTML/Javascript that the submit button on the PHP form in the iFrame has been clicked. I realize this is all fairly vague, especially without the addition of more code. However, I am not even sure if I am posting this in the correct forum, since it incorporates a little of several languages and styles. From this point any direction or idea would be very helpful! ive just started really to develop my javascript out of individual functions and appreciate and help with this. I start outside of the external JS file by: reviews.init(); reviews.initialiseContent('comment'); This loads my data and loads + sets the comment tab as default. My problem is that in the external JS file (shown below) the loadTabs variable will not allow me to pass it a variable: contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; Whenever I pass a variable here it errors, am I setting this up correctly, should I be using prototype for my this. variables? Interested to hear back on if this structure of code is the right way to go about this and also how I can pass a variable in this way Thanks, Phil Code: var reviews = new reviews(); var xmlhttp; var classArray = Array('comment', 'review', 'video', 'stats', 'add'); function reviews(){ /*--------------------------------------------*/ // Setup tab events, rating and thumb content /*--------------------------------------------*/ this.init = function() { /*--------------------------------------------*/ // Load and display tabs /*--------------------------------------------*/ this.loadTabs(); /*--------------------------------------------*/ // Load and display rating /*--------------------------------------------*/ this.loadRating(); /*--------------------------------------------*/ // Load and display thumbs /*--------------------------------------------*/ this.loadThumbs(); } /*--------------------------------------------*/ // Initialise and populate tab /*--------------------------------------------*/ this.loadTabs = function() { for(key in classArray) { var contentDiv = document.getElementById( 'pp-content-tab-' + classArray[key] ); contentDiv.style.cursor = 'pointer'; contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; } document.getElementById('pp-content-tab-add').style.visibility = 'hidden'; document.getElementById('add-review').style.cursor = 'pointer'; document.getElementById('add-review').onclick = this.showElement; } this.showElement = function() { document.getElementById('pp-content-tab-add').style.visibility = 'visible'; this.id = 'pp-content-tab-add'; this.initialiseContent; } this.initialiseContent = function( tab ) { if( this.id ) { var tab = this.id.substring( 15 ); } if( !in_array( tab, classArray ) ) { var tab = 'comment'; } for(key in classArray) { if( classArray[key] == tab ) { document.getElementById( 'pp-content-tab-' + classArray[key] ).className = 'pp-tabon'; } else { document.getElementById( 'pp-content-tab-' + classArray[key] ).className = 'pp-taboff'; } } sendrequest( tab, 'loadtab', stateChanged ); } Hi, Need some help here. To formulate the problem simple i have two buttons with the onclick function: Code: <a href="#" ONCLICK="function1('this')">Click for this!</a> <a href="#" ONCLICK="function1('that')">Click for that!</a> When I click this button I actually need to pass the value 'this' or 'that' to function2.. Code: <script language="javascript"> var name = '' function1(name) { ??? } function2() { document.all.textbox.value = name; } </script> I guess what im asking is how can you set a variable by one onclick function and then use it in any other function? Thanks a bunch! Col Hi, I hope someone can help me! I have a list of buttons, each with a different id which is taken from the ids of these values from the database. When I click one of the buttons it shows the items that correspond to this id in the database. Therefore, when different buttons are clicked the display changes to match the objects relating to this particular button. When a button is clicked, this shows various other objects which I can then select (using a checkbox). When a checkbox is clicked, a Javascript function is called to change the html text next to the appropriate button. However, I can't get this to work as I need to pass the id of the button, and the html span, to the Javascript in order to change the correct text. Here is my Javascript : Code: function questionnum(checkbox) { if(checkbox.checked) { var qdesNumElement = document.getElementById('<?php echo $q;?>'); var qdesNum = qdesNumElement.innerHTML; qdesNumElement.innerHTML = ++qdesNum; } This code only gets the last button. Please help. if i have: function someFunction(){ var original = "Original Variable"; anotherFunction(original); } function anotherFuntion(){ /* 1.does the original variable automatically get passed? 2. will var transformed = original + "Transformed" give me a result of "Original Variable Transformed"? 3. Or does it have to be declared in the function: anotherFunction(original) */ } thanks for any help Hi I want help with trying to pass some variables from one function to another. so with the following example: Code: // main body of script function exercise() { fnLLR_Calculate(); fnLLR_Calculate2(); } function fnLLR_Calculate() { //-------Gets values from web page------// var $Shares; _set($Shares, _getText(_textbox("CALC_STOCK_INPUT"))); $Shares = Number($Shares); _log("$Shares =" + $Shares); var $GrantPrice; _set($GrantPrice, _getText(_textbox("GRANT_PRICE_INPUT"))); $GrantPrice = Number($GrantPrice); _log("$GrantPrice = " + $GrantPrice); var $FMVPrice; _set($FMVPrice, _getText(_textbox("FAIR_MARKET_VALUE"))); $FMVPrice = parseFloat($FMVPrice).toFixed(2); _log("$FMVPrice = " + $FMVPrice); var $TaxWitholdRate; _set($TaxWitholdRate, _getText(_textbox("TAX_WITHHOLDING_RATE"))); $TaxWitholdRate = $TaxWitholdRate / 100; _log("$TaxWitholdRate = " + $TaxWitholdRate); } function fnLLR_Calculate2() { //----uses values from fucntion 1 to calculate----// $Result_Shares = ($Shares- $GrantPrice) * $TaxWitholdRate / $FMVPrice; $Result_Shares = $Result_Shares.toFixed(0); _log("$Result_Shares = " + $Result_Shares); } So i need to pass some variables from function fnLLR_Calculate to fnLLR_Calculate2. What is the best way to do this? hi, I am building a web app, I have a list of towns and a list of counties as you can see he http://www.mypubspace.com/mobile/#home (best viewed in Safari) What I would like to do is to pass through the Town value as a variable and then change my SQL query based on which town is selected here is the code Code: <!doctype html> <?php include "../config.php"; $loggedIn = (isset($_COOKIE['loggedin']) && $_COOKIE['loggedin'] == 'true')?true:false; $query1 = "SELECT DISTINCT rsTown FROM pubs ORDER BY rsTown asc"; $result = mysql_query($query1); $town = $_REQUEST['RSTOWN']; $townpubs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pubs WHERE RSTOWN = ".$town."

Hi, I am quite new to javascript but I'm quite sure this problem is very easy to solve. I have a vague idea of what might be going wrong but I have no idea what I should be doing instead. Here is what I'm trying to do: User inputs X and Y coordinates into form validate that they are numbers do a little bit of maths redirect to a php script with a single variable tacked onto the end of the url Here is the form code: Code: //part of a larger php script to make the form echo "<form name='gotoForm' onsubmit='return coordCalc()'> <fieldset> <legend>Go to Square</legend> X <input type='text' id='X' size='1' maxlength='3'/> Y <input type='text' id='Y' size='1' maxlength='3'/> <input type='submit' value='Go To' /> </fieldset> </form> "; which references these functions in the header: Code: //Is it a number function isNumeric(elem, helperMsg){ var numericExpression = /^[0-9]+$/; if(elem.value.match(numericExpression)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } //deal with the input, check if they are both numbers with the above function //if they are do some maths on the input //add the result onto a url and redirect function coordCalc (){ var Xcoord = document.getElementById('X'); var Ycoord = document.getElementById('Y'); if(isNumeric(Xcoord, "Please enter a Number for X")){ if(isNumeric(Ycoord, "Please enter a Number for Y")){ //Takes the X and Y coordinates and transforms them into a single number //not fully coded in case you try putting some numbers into the formula btw :) var X = parseInt(document.getElementById('X').value); var Y = parseInt(document.getElementById('Y').value); var G = 16; var Z = (((G + 1) - Y) - Y); var A = (Y + Z); var B = (X - 1); var L = ((A * (G - 1)) + B); window.location = "map.php?start=" + L; } } return false; } The number validation works but the url ends up as map.php?start=NaN. Now, this simply must be the way I am assigning the Xcoord and Ycoord variables with the document.getElementByID() function I am sure. But like I said, I have no idea what to do instead, any help is massively appreciated. Thankyou! Hi, There are different ways by which values of variables can be passed between forms. One of the ways is to use the setTimeout to pass the values or data. Here the biggest advantage is we can pass data to a different site even running automatically. I would need from someone a bit of help to pass the variable links from form1 to variable strLink in form2 using SetTimeout. We have the following schema: An options select menu where value of the option, sent with a submitted form, is specified with the value attribute. In the absence of a VALUE attribute, the value is the content of the option element. Quote: <html> <head> </head> <body> <form name="form1" method="get" > <select name="links"> <OPTION VALUE="http://www.as.com/">El Mundo <OPTION VALUE="http://www.atb.com.bo/">El Pais <OPTION VALUE="http://www.cadenadial.com/">Bizgrok <OPTION VALUE="http://www.cadenaser.com/">Eclab <OPTION VALUE="http://elsa.berkeley.edu/">Elsa <OPTION VALUE="http://www.caracol.com.co/">Factfinder <OPTION VALUE="http://fairmodel.econ.yale.edu/">Fairmodel <OPTION VALUE="http://www.cincodias.com/">Village <OPTION VALUE="http://www.continental.com.ar/">Levine <OPTION VALUE="http://www.literature.org/">Literature.org <OPTION VALUE="http://www.literatura.org/Gusman/frasquito.html">Frasquito <OPTION VALUE="http://www.literatura.org/Gusman/villa1.html">Villa <OPTION VALUE="http://www.literatura.org/Gusman/lgcrific.html">Mapa <OPTION VALUE="http://www.literatura.org/Gusman/lgcrific.html">Mapa </select> </form> Timing events.

Quote: <form name=form2 method=post action="convertx.asp"> <input type="text" name="strLink"> <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Show"> </form> By post method of form submission we can automatically send more number or length of data using SetTimeout.

Just he! I am developing a site that adds multiple dynamic buttons. I would be ideal if the event these buttons trigger could pass a 'variable' (the passed variable is constant with respect to each button). My attempt... myButton.setAttribute("onClick", "myFunction(" + myVar +")"); ...doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help out? I have a concatenated list of posts like this: Code: <?php // this generates a list of divs with unique id's as $post_id's $my_posts .= ' <div class="storypost' . $post_id . '"> <a href="mystorypost.php?id=' . $post_id . '>' . $member_name . ' Post</a> <a href="#" onclick="DoAction(' . $mem_id . ', ' . $post_id . ');">Remove?</a> </div> '; ?> And here is the javascript/ajax, which sends the variables to the _removepost.php, in order to run that code, and delete the post from the database... Code: <script> function DoAction(mem_id, post_id) { var r = confirm('Are you sure you want to remove this post?'); if (r == true) { $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "_removepost.php", data: "mem_id=" + mem_id + "&post_id=" + post_id, }); $(".storypost"+post_id).hide(); return false; } else { return; } } </script> So, the thing actually works (the post gets deleted from the database). But what does not work, is: 1) the div is not getting hidden via the .hide() 2) after I click the onClick link, the page scrolls back to the top of the page... and I have to end up reloading the page to see the change. I believe there is something wrong with where I placed the "return false;" and something wrong with how I call the variable in .hide(). I'm new to javascript and have come across what I'm sure its a really easy problem to solve. I want a page with a hyperlink that passes a variable to another 'pop-up' page (in this case a name, its just an example) and new pop-up page prints a message followed by the variable thats passed. Here is the code as it is right now Code: <html> <head> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function popitup(a) { var reply = 'a'; newwindow=window.open('','name','height=200,width=150'); var tmp = newwindow.document; tmp.write('<html><head><title>popup</title>'); tmp.write('</head><body><p>"Hello there" + reply </p>'); tmp.write('<p><a href="javascript:self.close()">close</a> the popup.</p>'); tmp.write('</body></html>'); tmp.close(); } </script> </head> <body> <a href="testpopup.html" onclick="popitup('Toby')" >Link to popup</a> </body> </html> In short, I just want the pop-up page to print 'Hello there Toby' or whatever name I choose to pass across. Any help much appreciated!! The 'testpopup.html' url is just the initial webpage. First off I didn't know whether to post this here or in the PHP section since it deals with both, but mostly JS. I have a PHP scraper that scrapes the job title, company name and location from a website and stores them in separate arrays. These values are then extracted out one at a time from the array and stored into a string, that is then passed to a Google Maps API. I can make this successfully happen once, the thing is I need to do it multiple times. I have an idea on what I should do but don't really know how to implement it (correctly). The idea I had was to create a function in the JavaScript section that accepts three values from PHP. This function would be called in my PHP for loop that extracts the values from the array into a string. The thing that confuses me is that the Map function is called via <body onLoad="initialize()">.

I have tried to pass just the source var from within the <script> tags. document.forms["cforms2"].elements["cf2_field_1"].value = source; I have commented out part of original code that I did not think I needed. Any help that can be offered I would be grateful, ultimately I would like to be able to pass all these values to hidden fields. Thanks Paul Brown Here is the program: http://www.1728.com/newwindow.htm Basically, I want to input a number in the input box, which assigns a number to the variable numval located at document.box1.b1. When clicking on the "new window" button, an alert displays the input box value, then another window opens and displays the integers 1 through 12 and the amount squared. I would like the new window to obtain the number from the previous window so that the new window will display integers (and their squares) from 1 to the value of numval. I want to pass 2 variables from a html page and collecting in another html page using javascript. say i pass xyz and abc to a page 2.html from 1.html without using cookies. In 1.html page i have many links. each link should be able to pass different variable to 2.html. when some one clicks on a link the variables should be passed to 2.html I want to know how to collect them and use them. please provide me code snippet. Hello, i'm working on a 3 page survey. When hitting next, previous, or submit it passes the values of all the questions to the next page. I've got the whole thing working correcting except for one thing: When the box is "not" checked it passes no value. I'm needing it to have a value of "1" when checked and a value of "0" when not checked, and currently when its not checked and i pass the info it leaves it blank. I'd post the whole code to one of the pages but it's long , so i'll post the snipits of the code. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function processQueryString() { var formData = location.search; formData = formData.substring(1, formData.length); while (formData.indexOf("+") != -1) { formData = formData.replace("+", " "); } formData = unescape(formData); var formArray = formData.split("&"); for (var i=0; i < formArray.length; ++i) { //document.writeln(formArray[i] + "<br />"); var sDataName = formArray[i].split("=") switch (sDataName[0]) { case ".lib_use": for (var j=0; j < document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").length; ++j) { if (document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").item(j).value == sDataName[1]) { document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").item(j).checked = true; //alert("lib_use set"); } } break; case ".lib_comp": if (sDataName[1] == 1) { document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").checked = true; document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").value= 1; } else { document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").checked = false; document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").value= 0; } break; default: alert("not caught = " + sDataName[0]); continue; } } } /* ]]> */ </script> <input type="checkbox" name=".lib_comp" id="lib_comp" value="1" /> The first case that i showed in my code is a radio button, and it passes correctly, i just wanted to show the "format" i was using in a working sense. The 2nd case is an example of the check boxes. Thanks for looking at this, and giving any suggestions you might have! Hi! All I would like to have a way to do my application using a simple way. I have a genealogy site, since a long time ago. I have near 10,000 pages (10,000 names) on a free hoster. Everything works fine. But I'd like to do the conversion from my FTW (Familky tree maker) to html page ,myself. I've use VB6 (Visula Basic 6) to do the conversion of all the pages, including all the html code on each page to link to other page. Like ,click on the father's name or the childre's name and it load the html page of this INDIVIDUAL. First : I know very well VB6 , moderate in HTML , poor in Javascript. Second : I have 10,000 pages (One for each individual), so is there a way to only have a template page (on the server side = my hoster) and a few text file (.txt) to pick up the data. Cause there are only 40-50 string data to put on each page but a lot of html code to make a good looking page. So having a template html page that we can just add at the right place ,the data of this individual then send it would be much smaller. So instead of a lot of pages there will be only a few. Third : I'd like to place on the viewable page, 3 cascading "selection list". The first one will be populated with the letter from A to Z , from the HTML code. The second list would have all the name of the family , like Smith, Johnson, rimes etc , ordered. I already have a text file of those names. And the third list , will have all the first name like Daniel Steve, Leann, ordered too, and I also have this ordered text file. So in a few click , we will be able to go to another individual. Have try a lot of things but never been able to do it. I like to keep the text file for data, as it's very easy to change using VB6 and easy to read, too. As written before, it must be easy to understand. I don't mind giving a small donation to have it, cause I really try hard to do it without been able to do it working. And it could be useful to other, too. Thanks at advance. |
