JavaScript - Call Javascript Function Based On Text Inside A Span
Is there a way to call javascript functions based on the text between a span element?
In other words if I have <span id="mySpan">Bronze</span> then it will call a javascript function but if I have <span id="mySpan">Silver</span> then it will call a different function? Thanks! Similar Tutorialshi i'd like to ask how can i ask for a function inside a for loop , if i remove the loop the code works fine but i need it for 10 rows . please help , here is the code PHP Code: $content .=' <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center" > <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> function doCalcAndSubmit() { // get both values kolicina1 = document.forms["vlez1"].kolicina.value; cena1 = document.forms["vlez1"].cena.value; // do some calculation vkupno1 = kolicina1 * cena1; // set the value in the right field document.forms["vlez1"].vkupno.value = vkupno1; } </script> <form id="vlez1" name="vlez1" method="POST" action="index_execute.php" > <tr valign="middle"> <td></td> <td align="center"><b> Sifra : </b></td> <td align="center"><b> Kolicina : </b></td> <td align="center"><b> Cena : </b></td> <td align="center"><b> Vkupno : </b></td> </tr> '; for($t=1;$t<11;$t++) { $content .= ' <tr valign="middle"> <td>'.$t.'.</td> <td><input type="text" id="sifra" autocomplete="off" name="sifra['.$t.']" align="middle" onblur="normalField(this);" onfocus="fireKeyListener_sifra(event); highlightField(this,1);" onkeyup="getList_sifra(event);" size="25" value="" /></td> <td><input type="text" id="kolicina" name="kolicina['.$t.']" align="middle" size="25" ></td> <td><input type="text" id="cena" name="cena['.$t.']" align="middle" size="25" onblur="doCalcAndSubmit();"></td> <td><input type="text" id="vkupno" disabled name="vkupno['.$t.']" align="middle" size="25" ></td> <input type="hidden" name="hidden_data" value="'.$data.'"> </tr>'; } $content .= '<tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td align="center"><input type="submit" id="submit2" name="submit2" value="Potvrdi" ></td> </tr> </form> </table> '; Is it possible to call a function inside of the load event ? Excuse the terminology I'm completely new to all of this, but for instance. I have a function that gets the value of a cookie, and I would like to call the function inside of a load event so the cookie value is part of the string and it gets generated dynamically whenever the load is executed. Something like this: Code: $("#FTPContents").load("functions/testftp.php?HASH=Get_Cookie("User")(&reload=<?php echo $_SESSION['currentdirectory'];?>"); The Code: HASH=Get_Cookie("User") is the part i'm referring to. I'm sure if it is possible then that syntax is wrong, can it be done ? Basically I want to have a different background image for every time of the day. The function by itself works okay with onclick or onload placed in body. Code: function changesky() { document.getElementById("sky").style.background="url(back_morning.jpg) repeat-x"; } What I want to do is have my background change in addition to a message. So instead of just "Good Morning" text I also want the background to change. Code: if (time>=4 && time<12) { document.write ("<p>Good Morning!</p>"); document.getElementById("sky").style.background="url(back_morning.jpg) repeat-x"; } Tried this, but it didn't work so what's the format for calling a function inside of an if statement? Or what other method should I use to do this? Hi everyone, First of all sorry for my english (it is not my native tongue so I don't master it really well) I'm starting a form and I would like to add : <span class="true"></span> where it's written HERE in the following if the function checkField finds that the checking is ok : <div><input type="text" value="" placeholder="Nom" name="nom" class="text" onkeyup="checkField()">HERE<div> I'm a beginner in javascript and in spite of my search I still don't know what to use in my checkField after my test to print <span class="true"></span> where I want it. I would really appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks a lot. Hello, I have looked through a tutorial that does text gradient without the use of images. I found this tutorial: http://www.thomasfrank.se/text_color_gradients.html However, only the first "SPAN CLASS" gets gradiented and the other spans don't. In the bottom of the page it says: Quote: If you call the gradientText.set() without any arguments it will go looking for all span tags with class names starting with gradient_ and apply gradients to them But I do not know what it means, I have tried learning a bit of Javascript and I think it could mean something like "if something is something, then". But I'm not sure. Please help, thanks.

If the passwords don't match, I want to display a message. I could use a popup, I could redirect to a page containing the message with another redirect back to the form or, the option I'd like to use, have a hidden table cell in the form containing the message that displays should the form be submitted without matching passwords. If I use the latter, where do I call the javascript function to display the hidden table cell? So in effect, only javascript function would execute if the passwords don't match, the action page itself shouldn't load at all. Can/should this be done on the action page?
Hi I have a requirement that from a different domain I will be calling my domain javascript adn calling the fucntion of it directly. I dont want to ask the partner site first download the js and then call the function of it. rather I have seen someplaces they just call the js on links and functions are called directly. in my partner site html I should have something like <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/inc/js/abc.js" >call js </a> and my js will have: function hi(){ alert("hi"); } hi(); so I was expecting that I will see an alert with "hi" but this is not happening. any help mjask I am coding an actionscript app and need to call javascript function in page that embeds the swf file. I am doing this as Action Script 2.0 and am testing in Firefox 1.5 x (flash pluggin version 7) I am getting the following error message: (not part of the error text) re object/embed id/name _DoFSCommand(command, args) (.swf/actionscript call to javascript) in Firefox/1.5.0.3 on Mac OS 10.3x (error text-- from FF javascript console) Error: plugin.SetWindow is not a function Source File: javascript: function jsScriptObject(obj) { this.wrappedJSObject = obj; } jsScriptObject.prototype = { evaluate : function(expression) { return new jsScriptObject(eval(expression)); } }; var plugin = document.embeds['SWFO']; plugin.SetWindow(new jsScriptObject(window),879801055); Line: 1 This set up works in version 10 flash pluggin, as is, in Firefox 3.5.2 Can anyone give me a clue about this?

To do this I have one function that will change the posted count based on the currently selected option and another function that is a commonly used char count with a few tweaks. The main issue is getting the value of the currently selected option. I know that selectedIndex will return the position of the selected element rather than the actual value. I tried to code around that. I've tried every method I could find on google and nothing works. So, I may have a bigger problem on a higher level that I just don't understand. If any of you can take a look at my code and give me your thoughts I would be most appreciative. Thanks!
