JavaScript - Javascript + Indesign
Hi all,
I'm programming on Indesign by using Javscript, JAVA, etc.. and need a suggestion about Javascript features: I need to make a connection to a servlet. Since in Indesign I don't have the XMLHttpRequest, how can i make an http request to call the servlet? I heard somewhere about socks in javascript, but couldn't fin any doc... do you have any suggestion?? Thanks Similar TutorialsI 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. Hello! I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once. Does anyone know how to do this please? Thanks so much for your help. I want to have another go at Javascript. I have several books on the subject but I find that my eyesight is a major problem. Therefore I want to try an on-line solution, preferably free. I have Googled, but there are so many that I am almost dizzy with the choices. Perhaps someone could recommend one. Not too fussy visually. My knowledge is VERY basic. Frank Does anyone know how to make URL links that use Javascript still work when users have Javascript disabled on their browser? The only reason I'm using JS on a URL is because my link opens a PDF file, and I'm forcing it not to cache so users have the latest version. I tried the <script><noscript> tags, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, as my URL completely disappears. Below is my HTML/Javascript code: <p class="download"> <script type="text/javascript">document.write("<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"window.open( 'http://www.webchild.com.au/mediakit/Direct_Media_Kit_Web.pdf?nocache='+ Math.floor( Math.random()*11 ) );\" >The Child Magazines Media Kit</a></span> (PDF 1 MB) ");</script> <noscript><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.webchild.com.au/mediakit/Direct_Media_Kit_Web.pdf" >The Child Magazines Media Kit</a></span> (PDF 1 MB)</noscript> </p> Thanks for any help, Michael Hi Guys, I am new at JavaScript and start to do some tutorials.What I am trying to do here is prompting user to input a name and if the name was valid the page(document) will display with all objects like the button.But if user enter a wrong name then the button will be disabled!

Hey, I've got to make the values of some textboxes change the co-ordinates of my sprite on a canvas and havent a clue on how to do it, Here is my form with the two textboxes and submit button: <form> x: <input type="text" name="x" /><br /> y: <input type="text" name:"y" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/><br /> </form> And i need it so that they change the values of these: //this shows where my sprite will start on the canvas var block_x; var block_y; searched the internet for hours and cant really find anything i understand or works. any help is much appreciated I got an index.php Code: <html> <form action="bacakomik.php" method='post'> <select name="kodekomik"> <option value='../komik1/|23'>Judul Komik1</option> <option value="../komik2/|20">Judul Komik2</option> <option value="../komik3/|10">Juduk Komik3</option> <option value="../komik4/|20">Judul Komik4</option> </select> <input type="submit" /> </form> <?php echo ('<select>'); echo ('<option value= "'.$i.'">'.'Page '.$i.'</option>'); echo ('</select>'); ?> </html> As you can see, each of the option brings specific value "../komik1/|23" komik1 is a directory | is a delimiter 23 is the pages in one chapter and can be considered also as how many images are there on a specific directory This is my bacakomik.php Code: <?php $dirkomik = $_POST['kodekomik']; $exploded = explode("|", $dirkomik); echo ($exploded[0]); //picture directory echo ("<br>"); echo ($exploded[1]); //total page in the comic $pagecount = (int)$exploded[1]; //Take last posted value, process it right away echo ('<FORM name="guideform"> '); echo ('<select name="guidelinks">'); $i=1; do { echo ('<option value= "'.$i.'">'.'Page '.$i.'</option>'); $i= $i+1; }while($i <= $pagecount); //Printing option and select echo ("</select>"); ?> <input type="button" name="go" value="Go!" onClick="document.getElementById('im').src=document.guideform.guidelinks.options[document.guideform.guidelinks.selectedIndex].value+'.png';"> </FORM> <img src="img0.jpg" id="im"> With the current code on bacakomik.php, I only can change the img src of id "im" in the same directory only. What I want is that the Javascript could "add" the "$exploded[0]" variable so that the picture can be loaded from different directory. Anyone can do this? I believe that the fix should be somewhere on input tag inside OnClick, or do you know where? Anyway, I found this on the net http://p2p.wrox.com/php-faqs/11606-q...avascript.html Please help me to those who can... All -- I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game. I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so: <script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script> In gameSetting.js I have: $(document).ready(function() { // call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js } in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined. I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load... $.getScript("gameLibrary.js"); However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem. My options a 1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense. 2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers). jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work. Help appreciated. Nero I wrote a log function that took note of various function calls. Thinking that functions are first class objects, and objects have properties, I made the name of each logged function a property of that function, e.g., brightenInnerPara.name = "brightenInnerPara"; Every browser I tried (Firefox, MSIE, Opera, Chrome, Safari) accepted the assignment, no problem. In Firefox and MSIE, the result was what I wanted: brightenInnerPara.name == "brightenInnerPara" But in the others, the result was: brightenInnerPara.name == null Question 1. Which Javascript is correct here? I favor Firefox and MSIE, not merely because they were willing to give me what I wanted, but also because it makes no sense to accept an assignment statement without throwing an error and then give it a null semantics, like Chrome, Opera, and Safari did. I found a workaround, using assignments like this: brightenInnerPara.prototype.name = "brightenInnerPara"; To my surprise, that worked in every browser. But I don't know why. It seems that such assignments are enough to cause each function to have its own distinct prototype. Question 2. Just how inefficient is my workaround, and why does it work? I got the function mouseon to work when I commented out everting and just put the alert in there but when I commented out the alert the rest wont run??? What did I do wrong?

Please activate the funcion with a button unless otherwise indicated.</p> <p>1. Create a function that will center the heading "Project 7 - CSS Interactions" when you mouseover it. The function should also change the font color and background color. Return it to its original state when the mouse leaves the heading. </p> <p>2. Create a function that will ask the user for a font size. If the font size is greater than 50 or less than 10 display an alert with the following message "Incorrect size choice". If it is a valid font size change the font of this paragraph to the requested size. </p> <p>3. Create a generic function that will change the background color of this paragraph. The following buttons will call the same function and pass in the requested color. </p> <p> <input name="Blue" type="button" value="Blue" /> <input name="Teal" type="button" value="Teal" /> <input name="Lime Green" type="button" value="Lime Green" /> </p> <p>4. Create a function called timeGreeting( ). This function will change the Greeting based upon the time of day: morning, afternoon, evening. Change the font face, color, size and background to corresponding to the time of day. </p> <p>5. Create a function that will ask the user for one of the following colors: blue, green, yellow, orange. If the user enters an invalid color display a message and change the color of all the following paragraphs to red. Otherwise change the color of the indicated paragraph using the same generic function for each paragraph. Example: User enters green then change the green paragraph to green text, etc.</p> <p>This is blue!</p> <p>This is green!</p> <p>This is yellow!</p> <p>This is orange!</p> <p><strong>Extra credit:</strong> In 5. Instead of changing the whole paragraph only change the color name. Example: When blue change only the word blue in the paragraph.</p> <p> </p> </body> </html> Hi, all member here, I'm new with this coding language, and now i meet a problem, that is the java script for daily change the background, and i want to use some CSS style with it, so can i do that? and how to do that? --------- this is the java script ----------- <script type='text/javascript'> function init() { var bgArray = new Array(); bgArray[0] = "bg/bg1.jpg"; bgArray[1] = "bg/bg2.jpg"; bgArray[2] = "bg/bg3.jpg"; bgArray[3] = "bg/bg4.jpg"; bgArray[4] = "bg/bg5.jpg"; bgArray[5] = "bg/bg6.jpg"; bgArray[6] = "bg/bg7.jpg"; theDate = new Date(); dayOfWeek = theDate.getDay(); document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url(" + bgArray[dayOfWeek] + ")"; document.body.style.backgroundRepeat = "no-repeat"; } window.onload = init; </script> ---------------- this is my CSS #bgimage { position:absolute; width:100%; top:0; left:0; } thank you! Hello! First, let me say that this is my FIRST attempt at a javascript program so I apologize in advance if what I wrote is . With that said, I'm trying to write some code that checks if a School drop down menu has been changed. If it has, then it should populate a second menu with the correct classes. The first part of my code looks like this: Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery.js"> $('#choose_school').change(function() { if ($(this).val()=='--Select Your School--' { alert('Please select a school from this menu.'); } else { $school = ($(this).val()); <?php $classes = getSchoolClasses($dbRead,$school); ?>}) </script> The menu selection looks like this: Code: <form action="" method="post" name="choose_class"><select name="choose_school" id="choose_school"> <option value = "">--Select Your School--</option> <?php foreach ($schools as $row) { echo "<option value = '{$row['school_id']}'"; echo ">{$row['school_name']}</option>"; } ?> </select> <select name="class_id" id="class_id"> <?php foreach ($classes as $row) { echo "<option value = '{$row['course_id']}'"; echo ">{$row['course_number']}</option>"; } ?></select></form> When I run it I just get a blank screen. So, two questions: 1) Would you happen to notice my error? 2) How does one debug javascript? (I'm using Dreamweaver for the input, which at least seems to catch PHP errors) Many thanks! PHP Code: var values = { value1: 6, other: { value2: values.value1 + 1 } } Why can that not work? Is there something like this.parent.value1? I designed a simple mobile in html , i want to link it to strings such that.... example : there are numbers from 0 to 9 and when ever i click on a number and then click on another after all the click i made and at last when i click on the " dial" (for example purpose) it should prompt all the numbers in sequence where i click. example to make it clear for my purpose : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * 0 # Dial (button) I clicked on "4" then "6" then "9" and then i hit the "dial" button the it shold show an alert box displaying "469" . I think it isn't a big challenge for you javascript coders.
