JavaScript - Recognize State Of A Div

I am working on my personal portfolio site, and am using a code that will make each portfolio piece appear in a new div when the name of the piece is clicked on. The problem is, JS does not seem to recognize double digits. I am not familiar with JS at all, I just got comfortable with CSS/HTML a few weeks ago! I am in over my head. It would really, really help if someone could show me how to change the code so that I could make about 15 to 20 divs instead of 9. Here is the code:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
numdivs=9

IE5=NN4=NN6=false
if(document.all)IE5=true
else if(document.layers)NN4=true
else if(document.getElementById)NN6=true

function init() {
	showDiv(0)
}
function showDiv( which ) {
	for(i=0;i<numdivs;i++) {
		if(NN4) eval("document.div"+i+".visibility='hidden'")
		if(IE5) eval("document.all.div"+i+".style.visibility='hidden'")
		if(NN6) eval("document.getElementById('div"+i+"').style.visibility='hidden'")
	}
	if(NN4) eval("document.div"+which+".visibility='visible'")
	if(IE5) eval("document.all.div"+which+".style.visibility='visible'")
	if(NN6) eval("document.getElementById('div"+which+"').style.visibility='visible'")
}
</script>

Thank you for taking the time to read this! Hopefully someone can help.

Here's my script wher problem occurs:

Code:

$.post('do/register.php?username='+('#username').value, 
	function(result) {
		if(result == 1) { $('#message').html("Everything's ok"); }
		else if(result == 2) { $('#message').html("Username is missing."); }
		else { $('#message').html("What the hell is wrong here?!"); }
	});

If i put alert(result); in function(result){ } part, i get "result" value that is '1' and that is correct value but it seems like IF statement is not recognizing it at all...

#message div constantly shows me "What the hell is wrong here?!" message...

Anyone know what could cause this problem?

Thanks in advance, phpStud.

Hi there!

OK I need a little help as I'm not sure how to integrate this function into my form. First of all I should explain that my form doubles as a Google Search box. If you select the Google Search radio button it submits the input text to Google. It also defaults to Google if anything else other than "red", "green" or "blue" are entered. Now what I'd like to do is add a function so that if someone enters "purple is my favorite color" it recognizes the "purple" part of the string using something like .indexOf('purple'); and calls something like if(function==-1) { theForm.action = "Other choice "+ q.value; . How can I add this to my form? Thank you for any help.

My form code:

Code:

<script>
function convert(theForm){
  var els = theForm.getElementsByTagName('input');// store inputs
  var q = els[0], color = els[1];

  if(els[4].checked){// submit to google
    theForm.action = 'http://www.google.com/search';
    return true;
  };

  color.value = "Chosen "+ q.value +" color";
  switch(q.value){// check the query
    case 'red':
    case 'green':
    case 'blue':
      location.href = color.value;
      return false;
    break;   
    default:
      theForm.action="http://www.google.com/search";
    break;
  };
  return true;
};
</script>

<form name= "myform" onsubmit='return convert(this)'> <input name='q' type='text' /> 
<input name='color' type='hidden' /> <input type='submit' value=" Enter " />
<br />
<input name="searchType" type="radio" value="" checked="checked" > <label for="all"> My Form </label>
<input name="searchType" type="radio" value="google" onclick="document.myform.action='http://www.google.com/search';" /> 
<label for="google"> Google Search </label></form>

Currently i have rollover images when click on active a hide show div tag with the css property.

the problem is that i want to keep the buttons on active state till someone clicks on another button then the button returns to a down state and the new button that was click on stay up.

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
//here you place the ids of every element you want.
var ids=new Array('a1','a2','a3','a4', 'a5','a6');

function switchid(id){
hideallids();
showdiv(id);
}

function hideallids(){
//loop through the array and hide each element by id
for (var i=0;i<ids.length;i++){
hidediv(ids[i]);
}
}

function hidediv(id) {
//safe function to hide an element with a specified id
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.id.display = 'none';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.id.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}

function showdiv(id) {
//safe function to show an element with a specified id

if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
}
else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.id.display = 'block';
}
else { // IE 4
document.all.id.style.display = 'block';
}
}
}
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

I have a form that passes values to a next step. It has two sub divs that show depending on what's selected from the dropdowns in the top two divs.

I'm trying to keep the selected sub divs open if the user hits previous step. The divs stay open in FF but not in IE.

Any ideas?

	var form = document.getElementById('webcredit');

	for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) {

I am trying to make a simple alert come up stating a checkbox is checked when it changes, and then another alert for when the checkbox is unchecked.

Problem is, only the alert for when the box is checked is coming up.

Anyone know why?

Code:

function displayCheckPopUp()
{
	if(document.activeElement.checked=true)
	{
		alert("A check box has been selected");
	}
	else if(document.activeElement.checked=false)<!--if(document.getElementById().checked=false)-->
	{
		alert("****");
	}
}

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="Checkbox 1" value="Checkbox 1" id="first_cbox" onchange="displayCheckPopUp(this)" /> <p class="custom_style2"> Checkbox 1 </p>

Hi,

I have a a html/PHP page divided into two, on the left div I have a list of subjects and on the right div I have used AJAX to populate this side with a list of questions (taken from database), this list depends on the selection made on the left. Each of the questions in the list has a checkbox, I want to be able to make selections using the checkboxes and then click on the other subjects but if I was to go back to the page with my selections the checkboxes checked previously will already be there.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

I would appreciate any help.

how do i make this table's initial state to be collapsed rather than expanded

Hey I'm trying to use the adipose plugin to make rollover buttons, Everything works the first time around.

Hi Guys,

I've written the below code which submits to a servlet, does a bit of processing and returns a JSON object. I'm reaching the servlet, but I never reach the alert("ready()") in the JavaScript.

It looks as though the readyState never actually reaches state 4. Any ideas what is wrong ??

Thanks

Code:

function fetchhits() { 	
	var httpRequest = null;
	var url = "http://localhost:8080/Json/FetchTopHit?amount=1";
	
	try {
		httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); /* e.g. Firefox */
		} catch(e) {
		  try {
			  httpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");  /* some versions IE */
		  } catch (e) {
		    try {
		    	httpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");  /* some versions IE */
		    } catch (E) {
		    	httpRequest = false;
		    }
		  }
		}	
	
	httpRequest.open("GET", url, true);
    httpRequest.onreadystatechange = handler;
    httpRequest.send(null);
} 

function handler() {
	alert("hander() start");
    if (httpRequest.readyState == 4) {
    	alert("ready...");
        if (httpRequest.status == 200) {
            processJson (httpRequest.responseText);
        }
    }
}

function processJson(jsonObjectString) {
	alert ("Process the Json Object");
}

Basically I want to build the same thing.

The data is freely available there as a download.

I couldn't find anything existing in the jquery plugin space. Can anyone offer pointers on how to achieve it?

Please help. I'm not sure why it's not populating.

I'm trying to diagnose the javascript part of an ajax script:
Code:

<form>
<ul id='May120128AM' name='apt_time' value='May120128AM'>
<input type="hidden" id='May120128AMhidden'  name="user_id" value='May120128AM'>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var request;
request = new XMLHttpRequest();

function checkData()
{
   alert(request.readyState);
}

var apt_time = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(May120128AM').value);

var userid = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(May120128AMhidden').value);

 var parameters = "apt_time"+apt_time  //+"&"+"user_id"+userid; 
request.open("POST", "/cgi-bin/my_script.php", true);
request.onreadystatechange = checkData;
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.send(parameters);
//-->
</script>

The checkData script puts each readyState in an alert box, so I know the javascript is firing.

If I change the red line of code to this, the alert boxes no longer pop up, so I assume the javascript is not firing:
Code:

 var parameters = "apt_time"+apt_time+"&"+"user_id"+userid; 

I thought name/value pairs were written like this:
Code:

name1=value1&name2=value2

I though that was exactly what the red line of code was doing. Does anyone know why it isn't firing?

UPDATE:
This works:
Code:

var parameters = "apt_time=+apt_time+&user_id=+userid";

I don't know why the above works and the other doesn't. They both look like they do the same thing - this:
Code:

apt_time=value1&user_id=value2

The guy who originally coded this is no longer with us and we can't seem to figure out why this code isn't working. Neither of us really know JS. I've messed with jQuery more than I've messed with straight up JS but even that is limited knowledge.

Basically this code is supposed to keep track of the left navigation so when it goes to a new page it holds the opened menus open.

Here's a snippet of HTML:
Code:

<ul id="leftnav">
		<li class="widthT1">
		
    	<div id="2042-open" style="display: none;"><a href="javascript:treeToggle('2042', 'open', '/JobSeekers/Recently_Unemployed/index.aspx');" class="orangePlus">Recently Unemployed</a></div>
    	<div id="2042-close" style="margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="javascript:treeToggle('2042', 'close');" class="orangeMinus">Recently Unemployed</a>		
    	<!--<div class="fix1"><hr class="grey1HR"/></div>-->
    		<ul class="fix4">		
      			<li>
                  <div id="2063-open" style="display: none;"><a href="javascript:treeToggle('2063', 'open', '/JobSeekers/Recently_Unemployed/Apply_for_Unemployment_Insurance_Benefits/index.aspx');" class="orangePlusGT2">Apply for Unemployment Insurance Benefits</a></div>
                  <div id="2063-close"><a href="javascript:treeToggle('2063', 'close');" class="orangeMinusGT2">Apply for Unemployment Insurance Benefits</a>

     	          <!--<div class="fix2"><hr class="grey2HR"/></div>-->
                    <ul>

The above is repeated but that should be enough to show you what it's doing?

Here's the JS:
Code:

function getTreeStateArray()
{
    var empty = new Array();

    var soc = document.cookie.indexOf("treestate=");
    if(soc != -1)
    {
        var eoc = document.cookie.indexOf("-", soc);
        if(eoc == -1)
            eoc = document.cookie.length;

        return(unescape(document.cookie.substring(soc+10, eoc)).split("-"));
    }
    return(empty);
}

function setTreeStateArray(treeState)
{
    document.cookie = "treestate=" + escape(treeState.join("-"));
}

function restoreTreeState(treeID)
{
    var treestate = getTreeStateArray();
    var i, j, treeNodeName, treeElements;

    treeElements = document.getElementById(treeID).getElementsByTagName("div");
    for(i = 0; i < treeElements.length; i++)
    {
        var sosuffix = treeElements[i].id.indexOf('-close');
        if(sosuffix == -1)
            sosoffix = treeElements[i].id.indexOf('-open');
        if(sosuffix != -1)
        {
            var nodeName = treeElements[i].id.substring(0, sosuffix);
            var found = false;

            for(j = 0; j < treestate.length; j++)
            {
                if(treestate[j] == nodeName)
                    found = true;
            }
            if(found == true)
            {
                document.getElementById(nodeName + '-open').style.display = 'none';
                document.getElementById(nodeName + '-close').style.display = 'block';
            }
            else
            {
                document.getElementById(nodeName + '-open').style.display = 'block';
                document.getElementById(nodeName + '-close').style.display = 'none';
            }
        }
    }
}

function removeNodeFromTreeState(nodeName)
{
    var treestate = getTreeStateArray();
    var newTreeState = new Array();
    var i, treeNodeName;

    for(i = 0; i < treestate.length; i++)
    {
        treeNodeName = treestate[i];
        if(treeNodeName != nodeName)
            newTreeState.push(treeNodeName);
    }
    setTreeStateArray(newTreeState);
}

function addNodeToTreeState(nodeName)
{
    var treestate = getTreeStateArray();
    var newTreeState = new Array();
    var i, treeNodeName;

    for(i = 0; i < treestate.length; i++)
    {
        treeNodeName = treestate[i];
        if(treeNodeName == nodeName)
            return;
        newTreeState.push(treeNodeName);
    }
    newTreeState.push(nodeName);
    setTreeStateArray(newTreeState);
}

function treeToggle(treeNodeName, treeNodeState, followLink)
{
   if(treeNodeState == 'open')
   {
       addNodeToTreeState(treeNodeName);
       document.getElementById(treeNodeName + '-open').style.display =
'none';
       document.getElementById(treeNodeName + '-close').style.display =
'block';
	if(typeof(followLink) != 'undefined')
           window.location.href = followLink;
   }
   else
   {
       removeNodeFromTreeState(treeNodeName);
       document.getElementById(treeNodeName + '-open').style.display =
'block';
       document.getElementById(treeNodeName + '-close').style.display =
'none';
   }
}

What happens is it remembers the first thing you click on, but nothing more. We looked at the cookie value and it seems to be right. 4digit number followed by - followed by 4 more digits etc etc (0000-0001-0002 etc)

If anyone could help that would be wonderful.

Thanks for any and all help,
Justin
