JavaScript - Ie Refusing To Render Object Passed Via .innerhtml

Hello

I am relatively new to java script. The code I have behaves differently when I debug it and when I just run is straight.

There are three functions that one another in a particular sequence. When I debug it they get called in the correct sequence but otherwise they get called in a constant but random pattern.

I know I am missing basic understanding of javascript Can some body help please.

Thanks in advance

Output when I open the page in a browser without debug.
Code:

I created a method for displaying an object's properties:

Code:

renderfunction 	= false;

function showProperty (object, property)
{
	document.write  ('<td class="type">' + (typeof object[property])  + '</td>' 
					+ '<td class="name">' + property + '</td>');
	
	document.writeln('<td class="value">' + 
						(
								(typeof object[property] != 'function')
								? object[property]
								:(
										(property != 'showProperties')
										? (
											renderfunction
											? object[property]()
											: ('<span class="self">NOT RENDERED</span>')
											)
										: ('<span class="self">THIS</span>')
								 )
						) 
					+ '</td>');

	
	document.writeln('<td class="hasOwnProperty" >'  
							+ (
									object.hasOwnProperty(property)
									? "Local"
									: "Inherited"
								)
					 	+ '</td>');

	if (typeof object[property] == 'function')
	{
		document.writeln ('<td class="function">' + object[property] + '</td>');
	}
	else
	{
		document.writeln ('<td class="function"> </td>');
	}

}

As long as renderfunction = false, the object is fine coming out of this function.

However, if I change renderfunction to true, all my properties become undefined.

Why isn't this working as I expect it to?

How should I fix it?

Thanks in advance,

I can't get any info from Firebug except that one line, uncaught exception [object Object]. The code fully worked, then I needed to make it dynamically create Sortables from the scriptaculous library based on how many X were in a table in my database, which I've done, and I'm thinking it may be a simple slight parse error of some type, I'm not too good with Javascript, because now my script barely works. I've double checked the script's source code, the PHP variables are exactly what they should be.

Code:

print<<<HERE
               Sortable.create('sortlist$box', { tag: 'img', overlap:'horizontal',constraint:false, containment: $list, dropOnEmpty: true, 
                onChange: function(item) {
                    var list = Sortable.options(item).element;
                    
                    if(changeEffect) changeEffect.cancel();
                    changeEffect = new Effect.Highlight('changeNotification', {restoreColor:"transparent" });
                },
            
            
            
            onDrop: function(item) {
            var thing=Sortable.options(item).element.identify();
            
            var anchors = document.getElementById(thing).childNodes.length-2;
            
            if(anchors > 20){
            alert('This box had 20 creatures in it already, your last action has not been saved.');
            window.location.reload();
            }
            else{
            
            new Ajax.Request("saveImageOrder.php", {
                        method: "post",
                        parameters: { data: Sortable.serialize("sortlist$box") }
                    });
               }   
}               
            });
               
HERE;
$box++;

}
?>
          
        });
    </script>

if you solve this I'll send ya $10 via paypal

I am working on this simple calculator that passes values from one function to another via paramters. I have used alert() to find what is being recieved, so far nothing.

here is my code:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	
	
	function calcArea(l,w) {

		alert("area: " + perimeter) // doesnt work
	}
	
	function calcPerim(l,w) {
		var perimeter = 2*(l+w)
		return perimeter
		alert("perimeter: " + perimeter) // doesnt work
	}
	
	function calc() {
		var width
		width = document.calcForm.widthBox.value
		var length
		length = document.calcForm.lengthBox.value
		
		alert(length + width) // works
		
		calcArea(length, width)
		document.clacForm.areaBox.value = area
		
		calcPerim(length, width)
		document.clacForm.perimeterBox.value = perimeter
	}
</script>

i have this code:
PHP Code:

thank you all but i am totally confused now...here is my full code:
<?php
foreach ($freechat_list as $r)
{
$uniqueCode = substr($r,0,12);
$id = substr($r,13);
$blocked_record = RcBlockListTablePeer::isBlocked($id,$requestor_id);

}
my JS:
Code:

    function viewornot(id)
    {
       alert(id);
    }

alert(id) only gives me the id but in my href i concatenated it with blocked_record: viewornot(<?php echo $id."/".$blocked_record; ?>)

please help?

I know I have a thread about the sorting function I'm about to post, but this problem doesn't deal with the sorting itself, but rather the fact that a variable is not passing. The code below is the relevant part to an autosuggest feature. The variable that isn't being passed is "firstValidIndex". It is being set appropriately, but when it is used in "sortArray()", its value is 0.

Code:

// here we must check to see if where the string matched was at the beginning of a string inside this.aNames
// firstValidIndex is the first index where the char is at the beginning of a string
var firstValidIndex;
loop1:
for(var j in firstIndices)
{
	loop2:
	for(var k in allOccurrences)
	{
		if(allOccurrences[k] == firstIndices[j])
		{
			firstValidIndex = firstIndices[j];
			aList.push(this.aNames[i]);
			ctr++;
			break loop1;
			break loop2;
		}
	}
}
		
function sortArray(a,b)
{
	var lca = a.toLowerCase();
	var lcb = b.toLowerCase();
	var lco = str.toLowerCase();
	var diff = lca.indexOf(lco,firstValidIndex) - lcb.indexOf(lco,firstValidIndex);
	// some debugging code here
	alert("Comparing "+lca+" with "+ lcb+"\nDiff:"+diff+"\nFirst Valid Index: "+firstValidIndex);
	if ( diff < 0 ) return -1;
	if ( diff > 0 ) return 1;
	return 0;
}
aList.sort(sortArray);

Hello together!

I generate html code with jsp. In that jsp there a several framesets and frames. And yes i know, frames are not really up to date but it's an old program and i have to deal with it now. Anyway, in the top frameset i have an onload attribute like onload="load()".

In the function load i want to access the Element.prototype object. But unfortunately typeof Element gives me "undefined". So i looked a little deeper and found that window.toString() gives me "[object]" and not as expected "[object window]" so somehow my window doesn't know that its construcor is Window. window.construcor is "undefined" as well. And i don't have access to the Element object. I really don't know where the error could be. When the page is loaded and i access the same window over the console, then everything is right. But in my function a can't get access to the objects i need.

I also don't know what part of the code could be useful to post here, but maybe someone had a similar problem before? i should say that this problem only occurs in IE8. In IE9 it works perfectly.

Has anyone any idea??

Hi all,

I'm stumped on finding a way in javascript to create an object factory whose instances are also object factories. In short I want something like that below, but no joy ... any clues?


Code:

function createClass () {
	return new createClass()
	function createClass() {
		return new createInstance ()
		function createInstance () {
			//Default properties, values and methods which might later be extended
		}
	}
}

var createDoor = createClass();
var door1 = createDoor();
var door2 = createDoor();

var createChair = createClass();
var chair1 = createChair ();
var chair2 = createChair ();

I'm writing a program that involves a network of interconnected nodes (or simply objects in my example below). It depends on being able to access properties of an object's linked objects (a bit oddly worded, sorry)...

Problem is I'm not sure how to properly access those properties... see below please.

<script>

//This is an example of a problem im having in my own code...
//I want to access the name of the object within the links array wintin the object...

var objA = {name: "Object A", links: [objB, objC]};
var objB = {name: "Object B", links: [objC, objD, objE]};
var objC = {name: "Object C", links: [objB]};
var objD = {name: "Object D", links: [objE]};
var objE = {name: "Object E", links: [objD]};

//ex: I want to access the name of Object A's first link...
console.log(objA.links[0].name);

</script>

I'm hoping to get "Object B"...
But instead I get: TypeError: Result of expression 'objA.links[0]' [undefined] is not an object.
Is there another way around this? Any thoughts are appreciated.

What I'm trying to do, is pass an object by reference so that I can use it in other scripts, and allow the current script to change the object's value when appropriate.



What's happening: It passes correctly, you can see that my var_dump of the object before the function call is 30. After the function call, it becomes 60. Also, it writes "now60" to the document as instructed.

When I call the function the second time, it does nothing. No error, no repeat of writing now60 to the document, etc. And in the last var_dump, which is after the second function call - you can see that the value remained 60. Why?


Thanks for your help!


Code:

PHP Code:
    var quickChallengeTimer = {timer:30}; var quickChallengeQuestion; 
    var quickChallengeAnswer; var quickChallengeResponse;

        function quickChallenge(quickChallengeTimerfunc, quickChallengeQuestion, quickChallengeAnswer) {

            if (typeof quickChallengeResponse == 'undefined') {
                switch (quickChallengeTimerfunc.timer) {

                    case 30:
                        quickChallengeTimerfunc.timer = 60;
                        quickChallengeResponse = 'undefined';
                        document.write("now60");
                        break;

                    case 60:
                        quickChallengeTimerfunc.timer = 120;
                        quickChallengeResponse = 'undefined';
                        document.write("now120");
                        break;

                    default:
                        document.write("Error");
                        break;
                }
            }

            console.dir(quickChallengeTimerfunc.timer);
        }


    var_dump(quickChallengeTimer);
    quickChallenge(quickChallengeTimer);
    
    var_dump(quickChallengeTimer);
    
    quickChallenge(quickChallengeTimer);
    var_dump(quickChallengeTimer); 

Hi all,

I have a newbie question. I have just started working with javascript and would appreciate some guidance.
I have a webpage and there are products for sale on it(this is not live it is merely being used as practice project). Beside each product is a description a price and an 'add to cart' button.

My cart is simply a div with an id of 'cart' and it has a text box within it. I need the product name to be displayed within the div (this, I have working), I also need to display the product price in the text box once the button(add to cart ) for that particular product has been pressed.
Also when the button for another product is pressed, I want the cost/value for that product to be added to the other value and displayed in the text box in the cart div...

I apologise for rambling on but this is the best way of me explaining my needs....

Here's where i am right now..
The HTML snippet

Code:

<div id ="cart">
    		<p><img src="images/shopping-cart.png"  alt ="cart"/>Your Cart</p>
            
            	<div id="sum"><!--(this is the div where the total goes)-->
					<input type="text" id="total" value="0" /><p>&euro;&nbsp; Your Total &nbsp;<input type="reset" value = "reset" /></p>
                 </div>
    	</div>

<h2 id ="black">Blackcurrent<br /></h2>
        <p>&euro; 12.00 <input type = "submit" value ="add to cart"  onClick = "shoppingCart('Blackcurrent',12)" /></p>

And the javascript:

Code:

alert ("working");

function shoppingCart (itemName,itemValue)
{
/*	var thePrice = Number(itemValue);
	return thePrice;*/
	document.getElementById ("cart").innerHTML += itemName  + "<br/>";
	document.getElementById('total').value = Number(document.getElementById('total').value) + itemValue;
	
		
}

I hope i have posted correctly and am aware that i have only posted a segment of the HTML..

Please let me know if you need any more code or info..

Thanks a lot in advance for any help...

My java skill are rudimentary at best.

I have an email which has some values attached to a link in the email that get passed to an online form on a website when clicked. Problem is the value is a price and the string includes a "$" which I need to remove. I've read through many examples and everyone seems to have an opinion (surprise). One suggests something like this:
Code:

text2.value=text1.value.replace(/\$/g,"");

While someone else says its better to remove what you don't want. I am also scratching my head over should I place the value into a hidden field, scrub it then copy that into the proper field? and I imagine the best way would be to run it with an "onload" command instead or a event handler like a keystroke since the field is not typed? Roundtable discussion would be appreciated to help me solve this simple problem and help expand my knowledge of java... thanks.

Hi,
New to JS. Have ordered some new books, but need to get somethings going in the mean time.
What I wanted to do is to link to a new page having a date range input in the form of 6 text boxes, 2 sets of mm-dd-yy, from and to, where the upon loading the page box 1 of the from would auto focus and then auto tab and then post where php could take over on the server side. Setting up the form and the lay out, no problem. Auto focusing went just like expected using the following code, included because on the next step everything fell apart.
[/CODE]
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("input1").focus();
}
</script>
[/CODE]
So then the wheels came off and in response, began to simplify what was trying to be done to find where the issues were. As far as I can get working is:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
	document.getElementById("input1").focus();
	}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function myFunc() {
alert("is this working");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc()" maxlength="2" value="type a No." />
</body>
</html>

First issue with this: When I first get to the page everything is just as ordered. The focus is on the text box and the default value is "type a No." When I press a key onkeyup, I bring up the alert box with "is this working" in it. But when I refresh the page with the refresh button, after clicking the "ok" on the alert box, the character that was typed in is still displayed. If I use the link to the page, or the URL from the address bar, then the page reloads properly with the default value, "type a No".
Question 1: How do you get the default textbox value using the refresh button as apposed to reloading the page using a link or from the address bar? Using Firefox 8.0

Second and more important at the moment: If I change the script to pass an argument to the function the script crashes. It does not pull up an alert box and freezes. My guess is that I'm doing something wrong on a concept level.
NOTE: changed the default value of the text box to " ". Looked like to me there was an issue with the size specification and the default string length as you could only enter in a key stroke by highlighting the text and replacing it
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
	document.getElementById("input1").focus();
	}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function myFunc(awe) {
alert(awe);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc("123")" maxlength="2" value="" />
</body>
</html>

Question 2: can someone straighten me out with this?
