JavaScript - Testing If Object Exists In Ie

Hello together!

I generate html code with jsp. In that jsp there a several framesets and frames. And yes i know, frames are not really up to date but it's an old program and i have to deal with it now. Anyway, in the top frameset i have an onload attribute like onload="load()".

In the function load i want to access the Element.prototype object. But unfortunately typeof Element gives me "undefined". So i looked a little deeper and found that window.toString() gives me "[object]" and not as expected "[object window]" so somehow my window doesn't know that its construcor is Window. window.construcor is "undefined" as well. And i don't have access to the Element object. I really don't know where the error could be. When the page is loaded and i access the same window over the console, then everything is right. But in my function a can't get access to the objects i need.

I also don't know what part of the code could be useful to post here, but maybe someone had a similar problem before? i should say that this problem only occurs in IE8. In IE9 it works perfectly.

Has anyone any idea??

I'm writing a program that involves a network of interconnected nodes (or simply objects in my example below). It depends on being able to access properties of an object's linked objects (a bit oddly worded, sorry)...

Problem is I'm not sure how to properly access those properties... see below please.

<script>

//This is an example of a problem im having in my own code...
//I want to access the name of the object within the links array wintin the object...

var objA = {name: "Object A", links: [objB, objC]};
var objB = {name: "Object B", links: [objC, objD, objE]};
var objC = {name: "Object C", links: [objB]};
var objD = {name: "Object D", links: [objE]};
var objE = {name: "Object E", links: [objD]};

//ex: I want to access the name of Object A's first link...
console.log(objA.links[0].name);

</script>

I'm hoping to get "Object B"...
But instead I get: TypeError: Result of expression 'objA.links[0]' [undefined] is not an object.
Is there another way around this? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm stumped on finding a way in javascript to create an object factory whose instances are also object factories. In short I want something like that below, but no joy ... any clues?


Code:

function createClass () {
	return new createClass()
	function createClass() {
		return new createInstance ()
		function createInstance () {
			//Default properties, values and methods which might later be extended
		}
	}
}

var createDoor = createClass();
var door1 = createDoor();
var door2 = createDoor();

var createChair = createClass();
var chair1 = createChair ();
var chair2 = createChair ();

Hello,

JavaScript Obfuscation is always a topic which generates some controversy. Its use has many pros and cons depending on what one wishes to achieve. We have extensive knowledge about the subject and we would like to encourage a open discussion on the topic of JavaScript obfuscation: Techniques, application cases, ...

Why are we interested in talking openly about this? Well, we are developing a new tool for javascript obfuscation which is still in beta and would like to improve it based on you feedback. If you wish you can check it out at: www.jscrambler.com.

Hi,

The following code tests the 'numbers' field for numbers. It generates an alert if the field contains anything but numbers.

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function isNumeric(elem, helperMsg){
	var numericExpression = /^[0-9]+$/;
	if(elem.value.match(numericExpression)){
		return true;
	}else{
		alert(helperMsg);
		elem.focus();
		return false;
	}
}
</script>
<form>
Numbers Only: <input type='text' id='numbers'/>
<input type='button' 
	onclick="isNumeric(document.getElementById('numbers'), 'Numbers Only Please')"
	value='Check Field' />
</form>

However, if I want to change the above statement to read if the textfield does not equal to a number, return true, else, alert the user and return false. I change the branch statement and have it read "if(!(elem.value.match(numericExpression)))," to try to do this. But, the alert message does not generate if I enter "abc123" even though that value clearly contains numbers.

Not sure what is going here. Please help me. Thank you.

Why is this happening?

Code:

var pattern = /^\s+|\s+$/g;
var string = "   spaces";

		while(pattern.test(string))
		{ // -> true
			alert(pattern.test(string)); // -> false
			break;
		}

alert(pattern.test(string)); // -> true

I have a form with several types of checkboxes, and I'm trying to check all but one of them to determine if any of those have been checked. I do not want to check 'all', but I want to see if any of the 'check_' or 'check2_' checkboxes have been checked. There are a variable number of checkboxes, so this is just an example with two of each. Set 1 and Set 2 will always have the same number of checkboxes as each other, though.

I'm having trouble getting the function to do this - so any guidance would be appreciated.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
	function checkForNone() {
		checked=false;
		for (i=0,n=selectForm2.elements.length;i<n;i++) {
		  if (document.selectForm2.getElementById("check_"+String(i)).checked || document.selectForm2.getElementById("check2_"+String(i)).checked ) {
		    checked=true;
		  }
		}  
		if (checked==true) {
		  alert("OK!");
		  return true;
		}
		else {
		  alert("Please select at least one checkbox.");
		  return false;
		}
	}
	</script>

PHP Code:
echo "
<form name='selectForm2' id='selectForm2'>

Overall:
<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='all' value='' class='resultsAll' id='all'>

Set 1:
<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='check_1' value='01' class='results1' id='check_1'><br>
<input type='checkbox' name='check_2' value='02' class='results1' id='check_2'><br>
<br>

Set 2:
<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='check2_1' value='01' class='results2' id='check2_1' disabled='true'><br>
<input type='checkbox' name='check2_2' value='02' class='results2' id='check2_2'>
<br><br>
Check for none selected <input type='button' onclick=\"checkForNone();\" />

</form>

Hi,

So I'm testing my webpage in IE8. In firefox it looks and runs greag, but in IE 8, one issue I'm having is this: I have a button that opens a popup window. Works fine in Firefox, but I get 'invalid argument' error in IE8 and the window does not open. I've enabled at a whim some scripting things in the Internet Options hoping that would resolve the issue, but not so. Here's the code. The "invalid argument" occurs on the window.open call.
Code:

function open_report() 
{
	createURL();
	var report_vars = created_URL;
	report_vars = report_vars.substr(69);
	report_array = report_vars.split('=');
	var from_d = report_array[2].substr(0,10);
	var to_d = report_array[3].substr(0,10);
	window.open('detailedreport.shtml' + report_vars, 'My Site | Detailed Report - ' + from_d + ' to ' + to_d, 'title=yes, status=no, toolbar=no, location=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, modal=yes, alwaysRaised=yes, width=' + window.outerWidth / 1.1 + ', height=' + window.outerHeight);
}

In addition, is there any way to have that tile I've given it, "my Site..." appear in the window header? Right now it's not appearing at all in either browser.

Thanks for reading!

Hi,
So firstly this is likely not in the right place at all, as it's a bit OT but I figured it's the best place to ask..

I have to document 4 different tests to my code; what structure should I take when doing this?

I was thinking:
* State the aim of the test
* State the inputs, and what I believe the output should be.
* State the actual output, and whether this positively or negatively affect my code.

Quote:
menu: function( a, b ) {
$( b ).observe( 'click', function( event ) {
event.stop();
if( $( a ).visible() ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
} else {
$( a ).show();
$( b ).addClassName( 'selected' );
document.observe( 'click', function( e ) {
if( e.target.id != a && e.target.id != b && !Element.descendantOf( e.target, $( a ) ) ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
}
});
}
});

$$( '#' + b + ' > a' ).each( function( element ) {
element.observe( 'click', function( event ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
});
});
}
This work's perfrect accept when i use it with others on the menu it leaves the other ones open, how do i get it to close the open one when i open a new menu..

Thanks.

Hello.

Is there any way to get the variable name of an object from inside the object?

E.g.

PHP Code:
function Bla(){

    this.write = function(){
    document.write(<objectname>);

    }

}

obj1 = new Bla();
obj1.write(); //Outputs obj1 



Here is my script:

PHP Code:
function myTimer(seconds, obj){
    this.seconds = seconds;
    this.obj = obj;
    this.startTimer = function(){
        if(this.seconds>0){
            this.seconds--;
            this.obj.innerHTML = this.seconds;
            this.timer = setTimeout("Timer.start()",1000);
        }
    }

}
Timer = new Timer(10, obj);
Timer.startTimer(); 



Now the problem is that the variable that contains the object must be named "Timer".

This way I cannot create new timer objects with different variable names

I have tried:
this.timer = setTimeout("this.start()",1000);
but it doesn't work.

That's why it would be good to detect the variable name and instead use something like this:
this.timer = setTimeout(varname+".start()",1000);

I would rather not have to pass the variable name through a parameter like this:
Timer1 = new Timer(10, obj, "Timer1");

Thanks in advance.

Please help,



I have built a HTML5 ap with local database using phonegap, I am now testing in xcode...

Hi,

I have the below function and I keep getting the error Lid is not defined.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadTips(file,ID,File,id){
alert(file);
alert(ID);
alert(File);
alert(id);
loadXMLDoc(file,ID);
var l=setTimeout("loadXMLDocRefresh(File,id)",10000);
}
</script>

My trigger button is:

<input type="button" class="button3" value="Tips" onclick="loadTips('getTees.php','txtHintTees','getLees.php','txtHintLees')" />


So my alert Lid comes up with txtHintLees, so it is working up until the alert. Which leads me to believe that maybe it doesn't like being wrapped in "", without "" though firebug halts the process. I tried wrapping it in {} e.g. {loadXMLDocRefresh(File,id)} but that wasn't liked either. I'll stop my list of things I tried that don't work now.

But does anyone have any ideas?
