JavaScript - Trying To Find The Location Of Each Letter In An String

Hi,

I'm using the following Javascript code to show a div layer depending on the URL

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

if (location.href.match(/folder/)) {

document.getElementById("div-layer").style.display="block";

}

</script>

This works perfectly when I visit http://www.domain.com/folder but I do not want it to match any subfolders beneath /folder, for example:

http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder
http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder2

etc.

Does anyone know how I can modify the code to only match /folder or /folder/ and no subfolders beneath it?

Thank you in advance.

What are the differences between results of these two.


Code:

window.location.hostname

or
Code:

document.location.hostname

Hi,

I want to display my listings like they do he http://www.ticketnetwork.com/performers/concerts/a.aspx

The code on my end calling the third party service looks like this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.write('<script language="javascript" src="http://###########.com/?bid='+####+'&sitenumber='+#+'&tid=event_names&pcatid=2&showcats=true&title=Concerts Tickets"></' + 'script>');
</script>

How do I make it only display one letter at a time? I believe some variation on the sort method might work...

Hi, I have been working on a hangman game and I have run into a glitch. I have it coded so that when the user guesses a letter correct, the letter is filled into the corresponding text spot. Like this:
Code:

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 0)
{
document.form1.letter1.value = guess1
letter1 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 1)
{
document.form1.letter2.value = guess1
letter2 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) ==2)
{
document.form1.letter3.value = guess1
letter3 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 3)
{
document.form1.letter4.value = guess1
letter4 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 4)
{
document.form1.letter5.value = guess1
letter5 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 5)
{
document.form1.letter6.value = guess1
letter6 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 6)
{
document.form1.letter7.value = guess1
letter7 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 7)
{
document.form1.letter8.value = guess1
letter8 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 8)
{
document.form1.letter9.value == guess1
letter9 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 9)
{
document.form1.letter10.value = guess1
letter10 = guess1
}

if (randomword.indexOf(guess1) == 10)
{
document.form1.letter11.value = guess1
letter11 = guess1
}

The variable randomword is the randomly selected word from an array. The guess1 is the users guess. The letter variables are just to check to see if all the spots are filled to win the game. It works fine if the the word doesnt have repeating letters in it such as "Lucky". However words such as "Happy" do not work. If you guess 'p' code fills in the 3 text box with a 'P' but it leaves the 4 spot empty. Even if you guess 'p' again, it still leaves the 4 box empty. Thanks for the help! If you need to see the full code i can post it. Thanks again!

I need to make something that will automatically insert values into a letter based on user input, just like this one right here. please tell me how it works....

Hi, I have a 'Register' page on my site. When someone registers to my website, I would like to make it necessary to have a div box which generates a random number/letter, which is linked to a text field where the user has to match the generated output. I've been sitting here wondering which would be the best route to take regarding completing this. I was thinking about using charAt() method.

Could anybody please possibly give me some tips for generating random letter/numbers?

Possibly would I create a string containing "ABCDE....Z0123456789", then use the charAt method to find a character at a certain index position?

If so, would I need create something which generates a random index position?

Any help would be fantastic, thank-you.

I am working on a work project that requires a 5*5 table, that will generate random letters in each cell upon button click. I have most of the coding complete with the exception of the letter generation. I am currently generating numbers, I would even be fine with having a RandBetween(and listing the 26 letters of the alphabet) at this point.

Any suggestions?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var random1, random2, random3, random4, random5, random6, random7, random8, random9, random10, random11, random12, random13, random14, random15, random16, random17, random18, random19, random20, random21, random22, random23, random24, random25;

var randomArray = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];

//generate the random characters

function CreateCellData() {
for (var i=0; i<randomArray.length; i++) {
randomArray[i] = Math.floor(Math.random()*99 + 1); 
}
}

Hi, i know i should have 2 fields for a first and last name in my form but i dont - and was wondering if someone would be able to help me with - or has - a java script valadation rule to only allow a one letter character (letter in between spaces such as a middle initial) in a text field if at least 2 words are also included (2 words of at least 2 or more characters)

so if the user input ' John H ' an error prompt would display until one more word is added/at least 2 words are found

right now im using the below coding to allow at least 2 words in the text field but would like to see if its possible to enhance it so it will only block a one letter word if there are less than 2 other words in the form - right now if any words is added with less than 2 characters it will display an error... if anyone knows of a better form of code that needs a minimum of 2 words added and still allows single characters such as middle initials to in a validation script i'd greatly appreciate your help... i get lost on validation process'

'cheers' in advance to anyone that may know of something or a site that can point me in a better direction

function(value,element){return this.optional(element)||/^((\b[a-zA-Z]{2,80}\b)\s*){2,}/

The statement does what I want it to do, except if there is multiple instances of the word, it only outputs one, how can I work it so all instances are output in red? (while still using .slice)

var phrase = prompt("Enter a messate: ", 'Message');
var searchFor = prompt("Enter search text: ", 's');
var matchPhrase = "";
var searchIndex = -1;

/* if there's a match, create a text string by
* add the phrase text from before the match,
* add <font> tags around the match text,
* add the rest of the phrase from after the match
*/
searchIndex = phrase.indexOf(searchFor);
if (searchIndex >=0 ) {
// Copy text from phrase up till the match.
matchPhrase += phrase.slice(0, searchIndex);
matchPhrase += '<font color="red">' + searchFor + '</font>';
matchPhrase += phrase.slice(searchIndex + searchFor.length);
phrase++

} else {
matchPhrase = "No matches"
}

document.writeln(matchPhrase);

Use a regular expression.

Hey all, I have a simple example below showing how when I pass in the value of the value attribute of option node, and then use if operator to check whether parameter is a string or not, even though it's a string, it converts it to false boolean and triggers the else statement rather than calling a function:

Code:

	<body>
		<select>
			<option value="createMsg">Add Message</option>
			<option value="removeMsg">Remove Message</option>
		</select>
	</body>

Code:

var menu = {
	handleMenu : function(callback){
 	   	if(callback === "string"){
			menu[callback]();
		}
 		else {
			console.log("Issue occurred")
		}
 		
	},
	createMsg : function(){
		var	content = document.createTextNode("Please give additional information."),
			heading = document.createElement("h1");

		heading.appendChild(content);
		document.body.appendChild(heading);

	},
	removeMsg : function(){
		
	}
}
 
document.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].onchange = function(){ menu.handleMenu(this.value)};

callback should be a string so why is it saying otherwise?

Thanks for response

Hi there im making a estate agency website for my college assignment and have come across a problem when using windows.location for some reason it is not working

what i want to do is go to a page when searching the right content and then clicking the submit button

so when i type hello for example into the text box i want to get relocated to renting1.html page
but for some reason it is not working i know that the variable is set up right as if i change the content of the if statement to an alert then that works

can anyone spot a problem in my code snipit

<form id="form1" method="post" action="" >

<label>Search House Name:
<input name="Search" type="text" id="Search" size="50" />
</label>

<label>Search
<input type="submit" name="Search2" id="Search2" value="Submit" onclick="testResults()" />
</label>


<script type="text/javascript">
function testResults()
{
var TestVar = form1.Search.value;

if(TestVar=="hello")

window.location = "renting1.html";

else
alert("Invalid");
}

</script>


thanks for any help

If you go to: http://ocmd.freehostia.com/tbb/

You'll see that when the user presses enter, it goes to another page. Currently, in the scripts part of my page is this:

Code:

    function checkKey()
    {
        if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
        {
var audioElement = document.createElement('audio');
audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'horse.ogg');
audioElement.play();
window.location = "google.html";
		return false;
        }
    }

Notice how I'm trying to play an audio file? Well, I need for the window.location to go after the audio file plays, or alternatively for it to be played after xx milliseconds. Thank-you.

Can someone see a difference between:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Start" onClick="javascript:location.href='Poll_Jan2010_01.html'">

and:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Next &gt;" onClick="javascript:location.href='Poll_Jan2010_02.html'">

???

Because the first works, but the second doesnt :/

All i wanna do is move on to the next page by clicking a submit button.
From the first page it moves to second correctly. After that, it only refreshes the page and doesnt move on...

Sorry my bad, but im stuck again. I have tried to search in hours, but i cant find the answer. I think you the pro coders will see the code directly.

I have an webbpage, and in the middle of it there is an iframe to a php site. So i have used this code, so after some seconds the iframe will send the guest to another page.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" traget="_top" content="5 url=http://mypage.com"/>

But the thing is that i want the WHOLE page to reload, and go to that page after 5 seconds (we can say).

With that code, only the iframe are going to another page. Is it possible to make the whole page send the user after some seconds, to another page and not only the iframe?

i need typing cursor back in first text box after clicking ok of alert
[CODE]

function player()
{
document.getElementById("Player2").value= document.getElementById("Player1").value;
