JavaScript - Getting Nested Functions To Work Within Functions
Hi,
I have written a number of functions designed to return frequency data on 1000 randomly chosen numbers using different math functions for the rounding. I would like to include all of these functions within the wrapper of another function so that only one call is needed to get returns from all of the 'inner' functions. However, while each of the functions works in isolation, the moment I wrap them in another function they stop working. The following code is one of the functions 'frequencyWrapperOne' that has been wrapped in the function 'testWrapper'. A call to testWrapper does nothing. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Code: function testWrapper()
{
function frequencyWrapperOne()
{
var numberArrayOne = new Array(0,0,0);
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i = i + 1)
{
var chosenNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3);
if (chosenNumber == 0)
{
numberArrayOne[0] = numberArrayOne[0] + 1;
}
if (chosenNumber == 1)
{
numberArrayOne[1] = numberArrayOne[1] + 1;
}
if (chosenNumber == 2)
{
numberArrayOne[2] = numberArrayOne[2] + 1;
}
}
return window.alert(numberArrayOne.join(','));
}
}
testWrapper();
Thanks. Similar Tutorialsjs code is as follows: Code: uniqueNo=(function(){
var no=0;
return function(){ return no++; }
})()
document.writeln(uniqueNo()); // 1st time call
document.writeln(uniqueNo()); // 2nd time call
document.writeln(uniqueNo()); // 3rd time call
the result is 1 2 3 why after the 2nd call, the declaration 'var no=0' is useless -- seems 'no' is updated and stored each time it is called? many thanks Hi, i was wondering if there was a way to call a nested javascript function directly, from outside of the function its nested in? for example, if i have the following functions: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var test = function(){
var testInner = function(){
alert('testInner');
}
}
</script>
can i then call the 'testInner' function directly from an onclick action something like this: Code: <a href="#" onclick="test.testInner()">TEST JS</a><br /><br /> That code is obviously not working for me, but is there something similar to what ive shown here that will work? Thanks in advanced This is a little hard to explain so I'm posting an example. Code: //NESTED FUNCTION I'M USING TO DEMONSTRATE MY QUESTION
function foo(a) {
this.x = 5;
//USED TO SET THE VALUE OF X
if( a == 0 )
return function(z) {
return x = z;
}
//USED TO RETRIEVE THE VALUE OF X
else if( a == 1 )
return function() {
return x;
}
}
//MAKES setX THE SETTER FUNCTION
var setX = foo(0);
//MAKES getX THE GETTER FUNCTION
var getX = foo(1);
print( "setX(25), not an instance: " + setX( 25 ) );
print( "getX(), not an instance: " + getX() );
print( "" );
//CREATES AN OBJECT INSTANCE USING FOO AS CONSTRUCTOR
var q = new foo();
print( "value of x in object instance: " + q.x );
print( "" );
print( "setX(25), not an instance: " + setX( 25 ) );
print( "getX(), not an instance: " + getX() );
This code will output: Code: setX(25), not an instance: 25 getX(), not an instance: 25 value of x in object instance: 5 setX(25), not an instance: 25 getX(), not an instance: 25 Observations: It seems like this.x actually has two meanings. 1)x becomes a member of the "Function" object foo(). 2)x becomes a part of the constructor for prototype class foo. But why then does x revert back to the original value of 5 when I use foo as a constructor? Does javascript automatically save the original value on creation for a reason? What is going on behind the scenes to make this happen? Is this behavior part of an ontological model that makes sense? Similarly, if I change "this.x" to "var x" I can access the value of x but I can't change it. Not that that I should be able to, the syntax "var x" doesn't make x a member of foo anyway. But I'm still having trouble classifying the relationship "var x" has to the function. Anyways this is more of a tangent. My main question is above but if anyone has something to say about this, I'd be interested to hear it. It seems like all these behaviors have rules to them, but there is no conceptual model to think through that guide these behaviors. Or maybe I'm just ignorant. Enlighten me. Hi, I am trying to have a count-up timer on my website, where I count upwards from a specific date, measuring seconds, minutes, days and months. I've tried to set the code up he http://www.wuzhannanan.com/alex/timeticker.html But only one of the functions are showing. I've been stumped all day trying to figure this out, it seems so simple yet I cannot figure this out. Can someone please lend me some advice? Ok here is what I have so far, my ending part of my Call Function I think is ok. for my main function. I think I misplaced the { and } I will show you all the codes I have for my main function this is what I have I think I did misplace something but I can not pin point where that one small things should be Code: unction showResults(race,name,party,votes)
{ // script element to display the results of a particular race
var totalV = totalVotes(votes);
document.write("<h2>" + race + "</h2>");
document.write("<table cellspacing='0'>");
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<th>Candidate</th>");
document.write("<th class ='num'>Votes</th>");
document.write("<th class='num'>%</th>");
document.write("</tr>");
}
for (var i=0; i < name.length; i++)
{
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" name[i] + "(" + party[i] + ")</td>");
document.write("td class='num'>" + votes[i] + "</td>");
var percent=calcPercent(votes[i], totalV)
document.write("<td class='num'>(" + percent +"%)</td>");
createBar(party[i],percent)
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
</script>
Just wondering if i misplaced any ; or { or } anywhere suggestions? Here is my call function Code: <script type="text/javascript"> showResults(race[0],name1,party1,votes1); showResults(race[1],name2,party2,votes2); showResults(race[2],name3,party3,votes3); showResults(race[3],name4,party4,votes4); showResults(race[4],name5,party5,votes5); </script> I been going over this, I can not seem to figure out what { i might be missing? Thanks Is there a way to activate a function from another function? It has to be in the script tag, it can't be in the HTML section. Can I use something similar to this following code? If not, can anyone give me some help? I have tried to do it various ways, and have looked it up a few times, but to no avail. Can I use something similar to this following code? If not, can anyone give me some help? if (condition) {activate functionname();} Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help. Hi, I am creating a mashUp with google maps and have a function that creates the map, marker, infowindow and all works great. I want to add more functions to that functions file. Do I start with another function Name() put my function in the {} and then I am going to use the onclick event when I want the function to run. I also am going to add more functions to this file Is that the correct way to keep adding functions? And what is the best way of calling them in my html file? Answers and examples would be great thank you I need to input the functions for the buttons ( Push, Pop,Peek, Enqueue, and Dequeue) nothing I try works. Can anyone possible help me with one of the push, pop or peek, and then one of the Enqueue or Dequeue (any information I see online always has to do with wordpress which im not using) . Im really not asking for someone to do all the work for me, I just need a start. ok here is my code with the buttons just no functions <html> <head> <title>COP2500 - Lab 9</title> </style></head> <body> <center> <h3><b>COP2500 Assignment 9</b></h3> <b>Queue:</b> <form name="queue"> <input type=text size=60 name="display"><br> <input type=text size=5 name="entry"> <input type=button value="Enqueue" onClick="enqueue()"> <input type=button value="Dequeue" onClick="dequeue()"> </form> <hr> <b>Stack:</b> <form name="stack"> <table> <tr> <td>Entry: <input type=text size=5 name="entry"><br> <input type=button value="Push" onClick="push()"><br> <input type=button value="Pop" onClick="pop()"> <br> <input type=button value="Peek" onClick="peek()"><br> </td> <td><textarea name=display rows=20></textarea></td> </tr> </table> </form> </center> <script language="JavaScript"> var myqueue = new Array(); var front; var back; front = 0; back = -1; var mystack = new Array(); var top; top = -1; function enqueue() { // This function should take the value from the 'entry' text box and // add it to the back of the queue.

I think my brain would have exploded otherwize. Some of the problems have been simple misspellings, but when you have been staring at the same thing for hours it can sorta slip by. HOPEFULLY this will be the last thing that I need some help with. Bascially Im not sure if Im using the function command properly. When Submit Details is click it should validate the form and then when Calculate is pressed calculate the form (obviously). I think maybe my var Array table is wrong? And the way the functions are set out doesnt seem it sit right. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var element;
var itemArray = new Array();
itemArray [0] = "Bike" //not sure if these are properly writen?//
itemArray [1] = "TV"
itemArray [2] = "iPod"
itemArray [3] = "Car"
var flag="OK";
var count = 0
document.write ("<form name='myform'><br><table>");
while (count <= 3)
{
if (count < 3)
{
document.write ("<tr><td><value>Enter money from " + itemArray [count] + " sale.</td><td><input type='text' name=" + itemArray [count] + "></td></tr>");
count++
}
else
{
document.write ("<tr><td><value>Enter the price of " + itemArray [count] + ".</td><td><input type='text' name=" + itemArray [count] + "></td></tr>");
document.write ("<tr><td><input type='submit' value='Submit Details' onClick='validateform'</td></tr>");
document.write ("<tr><td><input type='submit' value='Calculate Details' onClick='calculateform'</td></tr></table></form>");
count++
}
}
function validateform() //<=== doesnt run
{
element=document.getElementsByTagName ('input');
for (counter=0; counter<element.length; counter++)
{
switch (element[counter].type)
{
case "submit":
break;
default:
if (isNaN(element[counter].value) || (element[counter].value == "") )
{
alert("You need to enter a number into " + element[counter].name);
flag="NotOK"
}
else
{
Bike=element[0].value;
TV=element[1].value;
iPod=element[2].value;
Car=element[3].value;
}
break;
}
}
}
function calculateform() //<=== Doesnt run either
{
if (flag=="OK")
{
if ( (Number(element[Bike])) && (Number(element[TV])) && (Number(element[iPod])) && (Number(element[Car])) ) //<========= Gets Bike is not defined error easy//
{
TotalMoney= parseFloat (Bike) + parseFloat (TV) + parseFloat (iPod)
if (TotalMoney >= Car)
{
alert ("The total money is " + TotalMoney + " and the car price is " + Car + " and you can afford the car")
}
else
{
alert ("The total money is " + TotalMoney + " and the car price is " + Car + " and you cannot afford the car")
}
}

I'm a newbie student coder for now, hoping to enter the wonderful world of software engineering in another year. I put together a very simple site for a class and all is well, but my "Contact SRS" form doesn't seem to want to run my JavaScript code even though I've used a JS debugger which returned no errors. When I click the Submit button it's supposed to validate the form. But I keep getting "Error on page" in the bottom IE 7 message bar (where it usually says "Done" when you load a page). There is another function that also does not work - it's in the Telephone number fields - it' supposed to check that the values entered are numbers. Would anyone be kind enough to try to run this page in your browser and see if the validation functions runs for you? If they don't, could you offer any suggestions as to code errors or possible browser settings that might be causing the problem? Thanks in advance to anyone offering their time!!!

This code is suppose to take the prompt number and keep subtracting one if > 1 but it seems to be not doing that at all and doing the else statement first then + till it gets to the prompt number. I have been staring at it for a while now and cant work it out. Thanks . Why do we have functions without parentheses at times? Ex 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHYFNDzlDTE (On 2:18) Ex 2) At the bottom: Code: var panel, flag;
function mousemoveResponse(e)
{
var x, y;
if( window.event )
{
x= event.x; y=event.y;
}
else if(e)
{
x=e.pageX; y=e.pageY;
}
if(flag)
{
panel.innerHTML = "Mouse is at X: " + x + ", Y: " + y ;
}
}
function mouseoverResponse()
{
flag = false;
panel.innerHTML = "Mouse is Over";
}
function mouseoutResponse()
{
flag = true ;
}
function init()
{
panel=document.getElementById("panel");
flag = true;
panel.innerHTML="Move the mouse..." ;
document.onmousemove=mousemoveResponse;
panel.onmouseover=mouseoverResponse;
panel.onmouseout=mouseoutResponse;
}
onload=init;
im no jQuery rookie but for the first time ...instead of simply writing out the animation jQuery('element').hide() in that way.... i instead needed to keep track of the functions so i wrote it like function hidetheElement() { jQuery('element').hide() } but now i need to run 2 of those functions together after a click ...for example jQuery('ClickedElement').click( movethelement,hidethelement ) see what i mean?....i dont know how to properly run two defined functions whats the proper syntax.... and here is my actual code for reference (its basically a menu link being clicked...hiding one page...and showing another....i needed to define the functions so if a menu link is clicked it could hide every other page first...by function....and then call a function to show the page Code: jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#ladiesmenu').click(
previewoff,ladieson
);
function previewoff() {
jQuery('#preview').fadeOut(500);
}
function ladieson() {
jQuery('#ladies').fadeIn(500);
}
Hello, can you help me work it out - I need a link to do two things at the same time - the main function of opening url and executing javascript. How can i do that?
Below are 2 JS functions I currently use on a site but as it is if the checkbox (1st function) is not ticked & the submit button is clicked the alert box shows but the progress image (2nd function) also shows, I was wondering if it is possible to merge these 2 together so that the progress image will only show if all criterias are filled ie the checkbox is ticked... and if so how it can be done or should I say can you post the code as I have no idea about JS these are just 2 snippets I found Code: function validate(form) {
if(!document.theform.terms.checked){alert("Please read our terms and check the box");
return false; }
return true;
}
Code: function loadSubmit() {
var ProgressImage = document.getElementById('progress_image');
document.getElementById("progress").style.visibility = "visible";
setTimeout(function(){ProgressImage.src = ProgressImage.src},100);
return true;
}
If it helps or relevant ... The form: Code: <form action="xxx.php" method="post" name="theform" onsubmit="return validate(this)"> The progress bar/image: Code: <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" class="contSubmit" id="btn" onclick="return loadSubmit()"> <p style="visibility:hidden;" id="progress"/><img id="progress_image" src="images/image.gif" alt=""><br />In Progress ...<p> Thank you in advance for any help Hello, I have a very large function that activates on one click. It does many individual events that modify my site. They all work seperately but when I put them in a single function they all break. Is there a way, order or priority for putting large things of code in functions? I tried doing {} blocks but it didn't help. I'm sorry if this is asking too much I just find it much easier to learn interacting directly with experience coders but I'm tryign to understand functions better and wanna make sure I got it right. the function syntax looks like this right Code: function functionname()
{
function code
}
the perameters kinda confuses me, inside them can go variables right? but where do you declare those variables? before the function or in the function? is it like this? Code: function functionname(x)
{
var x="Hello"
}
if thats right do you write the code you want to execute below the variables? like under var x I wanna make a alert I would write alert("x") I'm trying to create a script that has a countdown and at each second, a div is created on the page with some content. How to run both functions at the same time at the click of a button? Thanks to the answer!
Hi. I'm trying to make a web page using javascript for validation, but after the last 2 functions I wrote, 2 functions don't work anymore. I attached the file so you can see for yourself. And I know there are a few things I could do to the html, but I'm saving those for last. Any idea why the scripts don't work is much appreciated. (the functions that don't work a "cont_pag1" and "cont_pag2"...btw...they worked just fine until I wrote the last few functions (the ones for the pag4 div))...And sorry for the really strange language...
