JavaScript - Problem Comparing Screenx,y To Array Elements

Hi,

I have a problem related to Javascript.


1) I have a php form in which there two text boxes.

2) User enter date in these text boxes via using a calender control.

3) Dates displayed in the textbox in this format i.e: 05-11-2009

I need to compare the dates of both text boxes, but my code is not working fine.


I think i need to convert these the values of both text boxes to date format, but i am unable to do this.

Can anyone please help in writing the new code.

Thanks

I have a Javascript function that is highlighting the menu in one of my courses. I am having a problem getting into an If statement in some cases. Here is my code:
Code:

function hilightCurrent() {
	var nav = document.getElementById('nav');
	if (nav == null) {
		return;
	}
	
	var checkIndex = hreftable[__currpage];
	var aObj = nav.getElementsByTagName('a');
	var found = false;
	
	while ((found == false) && (checkIndex > -1)){
		for(j=0; j < aObj.length; j++) {
			if(aObj[j].href.indexOf(index[checkIndex].href)>=0) {
			  aObj[j].className='active';
			  alert("parent tag = " + aObj[j].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.tagName);
			  if(aObj[j].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName == 'li'){
				  aObj[j].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.className='active';
				  aObj[j].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].className='active';
			  }
			  found = true;
			  break;
			}
		  }
		  checkIndex--;
	}
}

The alert I have in there currently is returning LI in the case where I want to get into the IF statement right below it. So the alert comes back as LI and then I am checking if it is LI but for some reason it doesn't get into that if statement. Can anyone help or have any ideas?

Thanks!

I tried the following code based on a post I saw somewhere else about summing all the elements of an array together. When I tried it though I couldn't seem to get it working. Can someone please point out what I did wrong or tell me a different way to sum array elements together? Thanks.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

Array.prototype.sum = function() {
for (var i = 0, L = this.length, sum = 0; i < L; sum += this[i++]);
return sum;
}

var myArray=[1,2,3,4,5];

document.write(myArray.prototype.sum);

</script>

I would like to know that how can I show the value of all the elements in array "amount" in total field??

Hi,

I'm pulling my hair out to create a simple function!

I am creating an array based on form elements. I then am trying to create an IF (and nested IF) statement to check if the fields are empty and then with the nested IF statement use certain fields to create mathematical functions.

So far I have this:

function QuantityMWh(form) {

var formchk = document.forms[0]
for (i = 0; i < formchk.elements.length; i++) {
if (formchk.elements[1].value == "" && formchk.elements[2].value == "") {
alert("Please fill out all fields.")
break
}
}

}

It's only checking the first field and not the second, and vice versa. i.e. if only one field has text then it passes.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hey All,

I have completed most of a homework assignment that I am working on. I am able to .push desired elements into an array:

Code:

//Insert variable into the Array
function insertElem(){
	//Insert and sort first array, but not second array
	if(nameInput.value != ""){
		studName2.push(nameInput2.value);
	}
	else{
		alert("Value to be inserted cannot be Null");
	}
	
	//Refresh display area
	clearAndShow2();
}

What I would like to do is be able to store and display the created array "permanently" until I decide to remove the elements. My current method to hold the elements, until the page is refreshed, is:

Code:

//Refresh second array
function clearAndShow2(){
	nameInput2.value = "";
	messageBox2.innerHTML = "";
	messageBox2.innerHTML += "Groups: " + "<br />" + studName2.join("<br />") + "<br />";
}

I appreciate the assistance.

Hi Folks - I have a form that has an array of input values:

<input type="text" name=txtValue[] />
<input type="text" name=txtValue[] />

I do this so I can loop through the values in php... now...that's the easy part... the hard part comes to this:

next to each of those boxes is a search button that allows the user to open up a popup window that they can search for an item, and select the item. Once they select the item it should populate that particular input box with the selected item. I can easily do this with a uniquely named input box, but can't seem to figure out how to do it with an array of input boxes... any idea?

Hey guys. I need a little help with checking elements in my array. I created an array of size 50 and initialized all elements to 1. What i want to do is if the user types in the number "1" into the prompt box, i want it to check the first 15 elements and increase only one of the elements by 1, and if the element has already been increased by 1 then i want it to check the next element and see if its been increased, if the element has been increased then it needs to move on to the next one and check that. If the element is 1, then it can be increased by "1", if the element is 2 then i need it to check the next element. If all elements within the first 15 have increased by 1, it should just alert the user that all slots have been assigned. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for your time

Hi All,

Simple newbie question here - I want to initialize an array with "myString.length" elements, and I want every element to be prepopulated with "*" instead of blank. Is there any way of doing this? Code:

 

var myString = '123456';

var trialVar = new Array[myString.length]
	
document.write('TEST ' + '<BR><BR>' + trialVar);

(I want every element of trialVar to be "*", I cant just manually add them as myString.length will vary)

Any help would be mega appreciated - thank you

Hi Guys

I am new to javascript programming and I am trying to get elements from one array to another, here is an example of what I am trying to do;

Code:

oneArray[0] = anotherArray[10];

Essentially, moving the data in index 10 of anotherArray to the index 0 of oneArray. I have tried using a variable as a place holder such as;

Code:

placeHolder = anotherArray[10];
oneArray[0] = placeHolder;

I know i'm doing something idiotic somewhere along the line, I just can't figure out what I need to do.

I wrote js functions to reset a php form (multiple questions). The below works:

Code:

function resetForm(){
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer1);
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer2);
	}

Answer1 and answer2 are the elements of $_POST array. (<input name="answer1"> in php). In this example, I tried with only two questions, but I have up to 35 questions in one form. Instead of writing the above resetGroup() 35 times, I want to for-loop it. I tried

Code:

function resetForm(){
	   for (var i=1; i<3; i++){
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0]."answer"+i);
	}

That didn't work. Could someone help me to make the loop work? Or would someone have better or simpler idea? Thanks.

Hi, I am stumped. I have been trying unsuccesfully for three days to figure something out, and it has brought me here. I am a noob javascripter, so please bear with me.

I have created a page with an input button that refers to a function:

i would like to change certain style elements of the array each time the button is clicked. I have 5 color sets i would like use for the page, so i would like the button to trigger the color change in a loop, ie when the last color group is reached, the next click returns to the original color set and it continues again.

This is a demo page, not for actually publication. I am trying to teach myself javascript and this is an idea that came to me.

The things i want to change are the background color of two div's and the top row of a table. My style sheet is seperate, and I will also do the same for the javascript once I can get it to work properly.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Guys,

For some reason my script only works when I have at lease two checkboxes.

To simulate the problem just run it once with two html input checkbox elements
-> check one checkbox and press submit -> it works
-> Now remove one input checkbox field and check the remaining checkbox & submit -> Bamm doesn't work...

What am I doing wrong ?

Code:

<html> 
<head> 
            <script> 
            function Check(chk) 
            {

            } 
        function desubmit() 
            { 
            if(get_args()==false) {alert("nothing_selected");return false;} 
            if(labelling(true)) return false; 
            } 
            function labelling(s) {return true;}
