JavaScript - Change Value Of Object Property
I am and seem to remain newbie ...
I have a JS script that presents a series of "pages" with different questions inside a single HTML file, by rewriting certain <div>s. I have an object like this that contains the questions and information about answer labels etc (the idea is that this should be easy to modify for someone who doesn't know JS): Code: var Questions = [ { "question" : "How good is this?", "labels" : ["excellent","very good","good","bad","very bad","awful"], "page" : 0 , "random" : false , "type" : "default", "varname" : "allgood" }, { "question" : Change[curCase]+"What do you think now?", "labels" : BetterLabels, "page" : 1 , "random" : true , "type" : "default", "varname" : "betteradapt" } ] This object is initialized when the page loads, and a function reads the total number of pages by getting the maximum number of the "page" property across elements. Later, the object is accessed by thenextQuestion() function which uses the "page" property to looks whether each element belongs on the current page , then reads out the properties and presents the question. This works okay. Now the tricky bit: For some questions, their text should be different depending on which case is currently on the screen (Change[curCase]). curCase is different on each page, an integer between 0 and Change.length. I cannot get this to work for the Questions object, probably because the Questions object has been already initialized when the page loaded. How can I get my function nextQuestion() to "re-evaluate" the property "question" for all the elements of the Questions objectwhen nextQuestion() is called , using the current value of "curCase"? nextQuestion() is longer, but the (i think!) crucial bits are he Look whether question belongs on current page and push it onto new array: Code: for (i=0; i < Questions.length; i++) { Questions[i].page = Questions[i].page; if ( Questions[i].page == BlockNum ) { // if the q belongs on the current page QuestionsObjectThisPage.push(Questions[i]); } } Then, extract an array containing the questions, which will then be presented: Code: for (i=0; i < QuestionsObjectThisPage.length; i++) { QuestionsThisPage.push(QuestionsObjectThisPage[i].question) ; } So what I'm looking for is something to change either of these two Object.push() functions so they don't simply take the value they find in the Questions (or QuestionsThisPage) object, but to re-evaluate the code for the "questions" property, taking into account the current value of curCase Phew. I found that really hard to describe; hope it's somewhat clear. Similar TutorialsHello, how can I make the following object work properly so when I use 'layers.photo1.layer' a jQuery element is returned rather than the text of the function as it is now. I also need to be able to find the element by the photo1 object its contained in not have to input a string there so that I can also reuse it in the background layer. Code: var layers = { photo1 : { layer: function() { return $(element).find($('photo1'))} }, background : { layer: function() { return $(element).find($('background'))} } } Thx Very Much! I'm using closure to make a function return an object in the form of the literal. Code: function myFunction() { return { a : 'foo', b : 'bar', c : 'baz', d : this.a } } I'd want the d property to be equal to "foo". However, when I do that, "this" is tied to the global namespace as opposed to the object. Any ideas? Julian I'm Sunita. I am working in ASP .net . I have created Class1.dll file . and in javascript I am creating ActiveXobject . when i debug the application . Its gives error like Object doesn't support this property or method. my code is Code: Class1.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO.Ports; namespace Ana7140 { public class Class1 { //Declare Variables string data = "";

Hello just a quick problem with a seemingly difficult solution that I'm not aware throughout. What I'm attempting to do is increment a value when the mouse hovers over the element by using this move_right function: Code: function Move_Right( event, element, number) { number++; var elem = document.getElementById(element); elem.style.right = number + "px"; } inside the mouseover event trigger function which I figured out. The problem is it doesn't move incrementally only once every mouse hover no matter the technique of setInterval(); and or setTimeout(); also ontop of this problem I'm getting errors like : 2014-10-12 20:07:57.785Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null even after the changes I made also after this original function call : This is the current code so far which is different to the previous code above "obviously" : Edit fiddle - JSFiddle Thanks if someone knows the issues here, I hope it makes sense .

We are having a javascript which is throwing the foll error "Object doesn't support this property or method". The javascript function being called is using a Scanner API. So this is using some ActiveX. Below is the code for javascript <script language="javascript"> // Initialize scanning function OnLoad() { try { Scanner.OpenScanner(); // Scanner.ScanPriority = 0; // Set scanner to Foreground Read mode before enable scanning // Scanner.EnableScanning(1); document.forms["mobileform"]["rm07m-bwartwe[1]"].value = "101"; } catch (e) { alert(e.message); } } // Clean up function OnUnload() { Scanner.CloseScanner(); // Calling Dispose is necessary for Pocket IE because of a Microsoft issue related to releasing object. if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer") Scanner.Dispose(); } // Scan through soft trigger function Scan() { try { Scanner.SetSoftTrigger(1); } catch (e) { alert(e.message); } } //User-defined function to format error codes. //VBScript has a Hex() function but JScript does not. function hex(nmb) { if (nmb > 0) return nmb.toString(16); else return (nmb + 0x100000000).toString(16); } </script> There is a object tag in html <object id="Scanner"></object> The javascript functions are called from body tag. Can someone please provide some help.

The following is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="language" content="english"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color:#000; } #scenery { position:relative; } #moving { position:absolute; float:right; top:100px; left:50px; } #movingword { position:absolute; float:right; top:0px; left:0px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> var a=120; $(document).ready(function() { document.getElementById("#movingword").style.top = a + "px"; }); </script> </head> <body> <font color=white><h1> Hello World </h1></font> <div id="scenery"> <img src="http://www.deshow.net/d/file/travel/2009-10/new-zealand-scenery-738-20.jpg" alt=""> <div id="moving"> <img src="http://maadinfo.com/images/blinking.gif" alt=""> </div> <div id="movingword"> <font color="yellow"><font size="3"><b>This is the place</b></font><br>Welcome!</font> </div> </div> </body> </html> I found strange for the following code: Code: var allextRules = Ext.util.CSS.getRules(); Object.keys(allextRules).forEach(function(key) { var keyname = key; if(keyname.indexOf("js") != -1){ Ext.util.CSS.removeStyleSheet(keyname); console.log(keyname + " Removed"); } }); When the above work is tested in other browser (say - Google Chrome), there is no error. However, when tested in IE 9, there is error as follows: Code: SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'keys' According to this article (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Jav...ts/Object/keys), the Object.keys is supported by IE. Have I miss out something? I have this simple manual photo slide show. It shows four photos and when you click the next button and it moves one photo over and one photo back for the previous button. I have to moving by changing the CSS property of 'left' by 195 pixels each move. So for it to move next it will subtract 195 pixels from the left property and for moving back it add 195 pixels to the left property. I have the code setup so when you click it changes the property of left to either -195 or 195 pixels but I need it so it actually does the math, not just give it a set value. But I don't know how to do that. Code: function MM_changeProp(objId,x,theProp,theValue) { //v9.0 var obj = null; with (document){ if (getElementById) obj = getElementById(objId); } if (obj){ if (theValue == true || theValue == false) eval("obj.style."+theProp+"="+theValue); else eval("obj.style."+theProp+"='"+theValue+"'"); } } function nextPhoto() { MM_changeProp('fanThumbWrapOne','','left','-195px','DIV') } function prevPhoto() { MM_changeProp('fanThumbWrapOne','','left','195px','DIV') } so where you see -195px and 195px in the functions for nextPhoto and prevPhoto I need those to actually be functions where it subtracts 195px or adds 195px. Try to figure out how to change the css display property of a table, from hidden, to block outside of an iframe. //This data is outside of the iframe Code: <style> #table {display: hidden; z-index: 100;} </style> <table id='table' ><td> ......data</td></table> //This link is inside of an iframe Code: <script> function change(){ document.getElementById("table").style.display='block'; } </script> <a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='change()'>Change</a> I have a simple problem, I can't get the status bar to change. I am very new to javascript, and I am trying to practice some simple commands, and the onMouseOver event is suppose to change the status bar in my window. I can get it to change for onMouseOut but not onMouseOver. Here is what I have so far <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Exam</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H3>My Page</H3> <a href="http://www.google.com" onMouseOver="window.status='Visit google.';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='Come back soon ';return true;">Visit Google</a> </BODY> </HTML> Hi, every time I try and alert: [ { number:0, secondnumber:0 }, { number:2, secondnumber:1 }, { number:1, secondnumber:2 } ] it just shows [object object], [object object], [object object]. Why is this and what can I do to make the record be shown as it is above in an alert? Thanks. 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, -Brian. 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'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. 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?? Ignore post (if mod, please delete)
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 (); |
