Creating Hyperlinks In Indesign Using Javascript	View Content

I am working with an InDesign CS3 document, with multiple books, and what I want to do is search for a string and turn that string or some how attach an InDesign Hyperlink object to that string. I can find the string using the findText() method
var myFoundItems = app.documents.item(0).findText();
And it is returned as a TextStyleRange with its parent being a Story object. What I'm having trouble with is either replacing or attaching a Hyperlink object to string or TextStyleRange. Hyperlink objects to not have a contructor so I don't know how to instantiate a new one and once I get a new one created and the fields populated I don't know how to replace or attach the Hyperlink to that TextStyleRange.

Javascript Generating List Of Hyperlinks

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I'm new to programming,
Here's my problem:

I'm using a for loop to generate a list of hyperlinks

for(i = 100; i < 200; i++)
{

var str = "link";
document.write(str.link('http://someWebsite.com/' + i +'.html'));
document.write("<br />");
}

so the list that is generated looks like...

link
link
link
---------and so on until the loop is finished.

My question: is it possible for each links text to be dependent on the pages title?

for example instead of the the text "link", the program would follow the URL and know in the pages header was the title "Bob's website" or whatever the pages title was and would generate the list.

Example:

bobs website
daves website
rons website
susies website
betsys website
______________________________
Any help to differentiate the links text based on following the URL would be helpful Thank you!

Javascript To Create Hyperlinks With Changing Variable

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I need someone who can help me create javascript code which will create a hyperlink string with a changing variable:

This script should write and execute a hyperlink string which opens a separate pop-up window, nothing more. No image files, no subfolders, forget all that stuff. JUST A HYPERLINK.

The hyperlink SYNTAX does all the work in loading and selecting the images, NOT THE SCRIPT. There is only one changing variable, the value following clipart_id= Here is the basic hyperlink syntax:

<a href="http://www.websitename.com/clipart/manipulate? clipart_id= 00000 &path=%2Fclipart%2Feps%2F&lockRatio=true&width=500&height=500"></a>

THERE ARE ALWAYS 2 WINDOWS: ONE WINDOW HOLDS THE HTML; THE OTHER IS A POP-UP WINDOW (The opened hyperlink)

The basic html page will contain only 2 objects, an input box and a NEXT BUTTON.

Step 1: Initialize the variable from an input box, this variable is used to set the value following clipart_id= which is part of the hyperlink syntax

Step 2: The user inputs the initial variable which is used to write the first hyperlink string; click NEXT to launch the first pop-up window

Step 3: For each subsequent action Click NEXT - OnClick - This ADDS +1 to the initial variable, this variable is passed to be inserted in a new hyperlink string AND then launches a NEW hyperlink to open a NEW popup window. This is an infinite type of action which advances the value of clipart_id= every time the NEXT button is clicked.

Each time you click the NEXT button it advances a counter which executes a NEW hyperlink in a NEW popup window. The only thing that ever changes is the variable after clipart_id=, BUT the entire url syntax of the hyperlink string must be maintained exactly as shown below. If you change the syntax it will not work.

So, if the first value to start with is lets say 13000 ; this is input in a box; then the first hyperlink string will automatically be written and open using this:

<a href="http://www.websitename.com/clipart/manipulate?clipart_id= 13000 &path=%2Fclipart%2Feps%2F&lockRatio=true&width=500&height=500"></a>

Click the NEXT BUTTON and now a new hyperlink window will open which reads like this:

<a href="http://www.websitename.com/clipart/manipulate?clipart_id= 13001 &path=%2Fclipart%2Feps%2F&lockRatio=true&width=500&height=500"></a>

click the NEXT BUTTON and now a new hyperlink hyperlink window will open reads like this:

<a href="http://www.websitename.com/clipart/manipulate?clipart_id= 13002 &path=%2Fclipart%2Feps%2F&lockRatio=true&width=500&height=500"></a>

And so on and so on... Nothing else changes. So the "nextpath" after a CLICK is a complete new hyperlink string which contains a vew variable for the value following clipart_id=

All I am trying to do is execute a standardized hyperlink string with one changing variable.

How To Distinguish Between Clicked Hyperlinks When Submitting A Form With Javascript?

Similar Tutorials

Consider the following piece of code:

PHP Code:
<form method='post' name='myform'>
  <input type='submit' name='sub' value='submit 1' />
  <input type='submit' name='sub' value='submit 2' />
  <a href='javascript:document.myform.submit();'>submit 3</a>
</form>

<?php echo "You clicked ".$_POST["sub"]; ?>

So if you click "submit 1", the output will be You clicked submit 1.
And if you click "submit 2", the output will be You clicked submit 2.

That's obvious.

But ... what do I need to do to pass the key/value pair "sub" = "submit 3" to the server via POST when I click on the hyperlink showing "submit 3" - so that the output is You clicked submit 3 (i.e. so that $_POST contains "submit 3" referenced to index "sub").

I've tried <a href='javascript: a = {"x" : 1}; document.myform.submit(a);'>submit 3</a>, but that doesn't cause a to be passed via POST.

Creating Links In Javascript

Below is a javascript function from my website that loops through nodes in an XML file retrieving certain information about those who joined in the current month/year. The part in red creates a link which when clicked runs a function called show() with the relevant i variable value e.g. show(2) for the second node if that is relevant. Anyway the red part works in Chrome but not Internet Explorer (surprise surprise). I did some research which says that .setattribute is not allowed in IE. How can I change the red code to create links for the relevant records which works in IE?

Thank you for your help

Code:

function displaymember() {
    var d = new Date();

    var curr_month = d.getMonth();
    curr_month++;
    if (curr_month < 10) curr_month = "0" + curr_month;
    var curr_year = d.getFullYear();

    for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {

        membershipstatus = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("membership_status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        name = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        body = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("body_type")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        ethnicity = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("ethnicity")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        sex = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("sex")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        seeking = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("seeking")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        date = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("date_joined")[0]);
        month = (date.getElementsByTagName("month")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
        year = (date.getElementsByTagName("year")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
         newa = document.createElement("a");
        aIdName = "my" + i + "a";
        ahref = "#";
        aclick = "show(" + i + ")";
        newa.setAttribute("id", aIdName);
        newa.setAttribute("href", ahref);

I got some of this code from these forums. Thank you.

It works great, however I'll be using this code with a school's website's template. The problem is that the "overlay" div tags would be placed within the container div tags of the template,therefore confining to these dimensions.

How can I modify my code to have my div tags not affected by the templates div tags... and have the overlay be center in the browser..

Thanks

Help Creating A Javascript Dice Game.

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Create a game where 6 dice are 'rolled' by you and 6 dice are 'rolled' by the player (simulated by the click of a button). Add up both rolls. The goal is to come as close to a score of 100 as possible, without passing 100. Have a STOP button to signify when you are ready to stop rolling and compute the winner. The highest score under 100 wins. Display the number of times you win and the number of times the computer wins using javascript. So far I have the following code, however, my dice images are not working(they display as little broken symbols when I run the game). The game itself is running just fine but I can't figure out how to get the game to do the "Add up both rolls" step and beyond. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Creating A Cookie In Javascript Not Working!!! Help!!!

View Content

I am creating a cookie that increases a "value" or "integer" by 1 (ie Y+1) every time any page inside my webpage. Any webpage that i put the code into. right now I need it so that when you visit a page with the code it increases the variable or "cookie" (Y) by 1. when Y reaches a certain number, I.E 10, it resets Y to "0" and redirects you to a URL. Please explain where each value would go in any replies. Please make code as simple and as low in file size as possible. I don't need any sort of flexibility, just a simple redirect to a webpage which WILL NOT have the cookie code in it.
EX: when opening the menu of an iPod game it asks you to rate the game, saying remind me later resets the value to "0" and saying rate now, resets to "0" but does not keep counting on the next page.
Thanks to all in advance and i hope you completely understood my problem and question!

I am trying to remove all Javascript code from my HTML doc and put into external .js file(s). I have event triggers that I would like to move to an external file, but I am not sure how. Below is an example.
[CODE]

<img class="img-menu" id="res" src="images/buttons/btn_res_mouse_out.jpg" alt="Residential"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'res',/*url*/'images/buttons/btn_res_mouse_over.jpg')"

onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'res',/*url*/'images/buttons/btn_res_mouse_up.jpg')" />

The reason I want to do this is that this code is repeated in all pages and I want to reduce potential maintenance issues. Any help will be appreciated.

Creating A Result Sheet Using Javascript

I run a website for a skittle league and am looking to create a form to allow teams to sumbit results on line.

I'm not an expert on Javascript, the code I've created so far allows the user to enter the player name and score for one team and calcutate the total. However, I'm having problems duplicating this for a second team, and would like to remove the Get Total button (i.e. Auto Calculate total).

Can anyone advise how I can do this.

The Code I have so far is

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function getTotalH1(oForm)
{
var field, i = 0, total = 0, els = oForm.elements;
var fieldnames = ['PSH1' , 'PSH2' , 'PSH3' , 'PSH4' , 'PSH5'];
for (i; i < fieldnames.length; ++i)
{
field = els[fieldnames[i]];
if (field.value != '' && isNaN(field.value))
{
alert('Please enter a valid number here.')
field.focus();
field.select();
return '';
}
else total += Number(field.value);
}
return ' ' + total;
}

Problem With Javascript Class Creating Popup

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I've written a javascript class that displays a popup, but as soon as the code executes the popup vanishes.

I've stepped through the code, line by line and there's nothing that "hides" the popup, the DIV that is created by the class, just reverts back to the default configuration generated by the following function:

Code:

function generateMarkup() { //build markup
var newNode = document.createElement( 'DIV' );
newNode.id = IDs.HelpPopup;
newNode.style.visibility = 'hidden';
newNode.innerHTML = [
'<div id="popup">',
'<div id="inside">',
'</div>',
'</div>'
].join( '' );
 return newNode;
}

All the changes made to the DIVs via document.getElementById code is completely wiped out. For example:

Code:

document.getElementById("inside").innerHTML = sText;

If I stop processing just before the Class returns to the form, the generated code is exactly as I expect it to be with all the dynamic modifications.

The class is triggered by an onClick event on a BUTTON.

I've tried to put a "sleep" function in after executing the function that modifies the DIVs, but that seems to execute before the function, not after, so the popup just flickers into existence and then vanishes.

Can anyone give me any hint(s) as to how to stop this happening.

  <h3><a name="Help">Help</a></h3>

The game of craps is a dice game played by two players, You and The House.
First you toss the pair of dice.
   If the sum of the dice is 7 or 11, you win the game.
   If the sum is 2, 3, or 12, the house wins.
   Otherwise, the sum is designated as the "point," to be matched by another toss.
So if neither player has won on the first toss, then the dice are tossed repeatedly until
either the point or a 7 comes up.
   If a 7 comes up first, the house wins.
   Otherwise, you win when the point comes up.
