JavaScript - Creating Link To A Variable
I would like to apologize in advance if my question sounds too simple. I am a novice to Javascript and have not had any real formal training here. I am creating a webpage which utilizes a separate .xml file to populate values in my webpage.
This is my webpage (links.html): and here is my xml file (links_data.xml): This is my output: I have a link at the bottom of the page that points to the device being displayed. In this case, the link should be: http://10.90.139.201 If my xml file changes, it should point to the new IP address. My question is, how do I get the link to work? Currently, my current link (<a href="http://"IP_address"">Link</a>) does not populate any information. Appreciate any guidance here... thanks. Similar TutorialsI'm using a form data reference, something like P-1234 for example to create a text file and a link to the file. This is during the construction of a new table or table row with javascript. I have an array of one or more references submitted via form using $_POST. On my action page I am creating a txt file P-1234. If I am creating a table ot table row using createElement(), one of the cells will have a link to the file. If the file is created as follows: PHP Code: $File = $_POST['ref'][$i] . "txt"; After creating the cell Code: var Cell = document.createElement('td'); I assign the file to a variable var File = "<?= $File ?> "; I assume the link is inserted using innerHTML? If so, do I just append the filename to the end of the file path like this? Cell.innerHTML = "http://localhost/Project/+File"; If this is not the right way can someone point me in the right direction? I am working on a javascript for my blackberry. I am trying to capture the latitude and longitude of that phone. I am able to get the coordinates in an alert box but am having a little trouble writing it to a form input field. Can anyone help me with this? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>GPS Testing</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> if(blackberry.location.GPSSupported){ document.write("Your device supports GPS locating"); blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(window.alert("Latitude: " + blackberry.location.latitude + " Longitude: " + blackberry.location.longitude)); var lat = blackberry.location.latitude(); var lng = blackberry.location.longitude(); blackberry.location.refreshLocation(); document.write(lat); } </script> </body> </html> I am only able to test with Blackberry. I was trying to create a couple of variables with the "var lat =" and var lng =". With this script I get the alert window and when I click ok it writes "Your device supports ..." Thanks for any help! Hello everyone, I'm new to the programming world so please be kind I'm trying to find a code which would take the input value entered in a form field and on click direct you to a page which corresponds with what was entered. So for example: Enter "5" in field. Click Submit. Page opens up (which in fact would be an html file on my server called... 5.html) ( i would want to create 10 pages for values entered from 1-10... each value having a unique result when entered and clicked) I have no idea how to put this all together, i've been searching everywhere. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Is this possible? Code: String.prototype.trim = function(){ return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ""); } var myStr = " Hi what's up? "; myStr.trim(); alert("{" + myStr + "}"); //will result in the original string, not the trimmed version It's possible with numbers: Code: var myNum = 10; myNum++; alert(myNum); //11 Code: var x = "blahblah".indexOf("blahblah"); if (x !== -1){ // do something with x alert("Present"); } else { alert("Not present"); } Is there some syntax/code structure that allows something like this: Code: if ( (var x = "blahblah".indexOf("blahblah")) !== -1){ // do something with x alert("Present"); } else { alert("Not present"); } Hello, I'm trying to create a webpage where users can click on a dynamically generated set of questions: <?php do { ?> <p><?php echo $row_rsQuestions['question_text']; ?><?php echo $row_rsQuestions['question_type']; ?></p> <?php } while ($row_rsQuestions = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsQuestions)); ?> and by clicking on a particular question, there will be an update for their particular listing of personal questions in a MySql database. I know how to create the database update part, but I think that I would need to javascript to: 1) tell my page that it's time to update (i.e. add a particular question as soon as they click it) 2) pass along the correct variable to the database update portion of the page. Any help on these two items would be appreciated. Thank you! Very new to javascript, so I apologize in advance. I honestly tried to figure this out on my own, and I'm just not able. I'm trying to create a family tree online that has several other related family charts. I want each person's name and birth year to be stored in javascript variables, then I want to be able to just go through the tree, and put the persons name once, and have it put the appropriate name and birthyear in the little boxes that the css is creating. In the js file... I would do this for each family member. Code: var johnname = "John Smith"; var johnbirthyear = "Jan 1 1930"; var janename = "Jane Doe"; var janebirthyear = "Jan 1 1940"; var mikename = "mike wilson"; var mikebirthyear = "Jan 1 1950"; var saraname = "sara johnston"; var sarabirthyear = "Jan 1 1960"; In the HTML file... Code: <div id = "boybox"> <script type="text/javascript"> id = "john"; <!-- this is the only thing I want to have to change --> name = id+"name"; document.write(name); </script> <div id = "year"> <script type="text/javascript"> birthyear = id+"year"; document.write(birthyear); </script> </div> </div> So I thought I had it all figured out. I thought that the above would take the id of John that I added, go to the line that sets the name, add john to the word name, and then document write the variable of johnname from the js file. I know you're laughing at me because of course it instead made the value of name to johnname, then wrote the word johnname in the box. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? ultimately I want to go through and be able to just type the persons name in the html for that box once, and have it update with their appropriate info. Thanks, and sorry for such a rookie question. Hi all, I think I have posted in the right place, if not appologies. Anyhow, I am currently creating a website for my canvas printing business and run into a few javascripting issues. I am trying to create a small navigation form whereby a customer can select from a dropdown the required width of canvas, this selection will then populate a second dropdown with a choice of canvas heights. Ok, so trawling many sites I came across some javascript that I was able to chop about and have this part sorted. The problem now is that I would like to include a submit button that when clicked takes the customer to a webpage based on their two dropdown choices, and being a complete newby when it comes to javascript I am stuck trying to include the script to enable this. eg: if they select '20" (51cm)' from the first dropdown and '16" (41cm)' from the second dropdown, they will navigate to "http: / / 20x16.co.uk" canvas print page. I have not currently created the canvas print pages so am unable to give the URLs of the pages. However if somebody can lend a hand to get me started and indicate where the desitnation URLs need to be added, I can drop these in later. The way that the script is currently written, the linked url could be based soley on the choice made in the second dropdown. I have a draft page with the working dropdowns he http://merchant.auctivacommerce.com/...iewtheme=32189 And the code that I currently have is: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var SELECT_WIDTH_FIRST = [];

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wayne Hi, I'm really new to Javascript. Recently in my IT class, we made a HTML page which would open a popup box, where the user could enter a key word. When the user pressed enter, the page would navigate to a specific page. The code we used was: Code: <script language = "JavaScript"> where = window.prompt ("Please tell me where you would like to go."); switch (where){ case "Digg" : window.location = "http://www.digg.com" ; break; default: window.location = "http://www.google.com" ; } </script> What I am hopeing to do, is implement this code on my workplaces server, and have the keywords link to other html documents within the server. However when I tested this, for some reason the links are not working. Can this actually be done? Am I missing something silly? Are there any other ways of doing this? Thanks in advance Hi, I have a simple page and a javascript that measure the time the user has spent on a page and I want that variable to pass as a link to another page (php). I'm stuck (rookie) with how to actually pass that on in the link. Here's my code: Code: <?php session_start();?> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> /* This script and many more are available free online at The JavaScript Source :: http://javascript.internet.com Created by: Cody Shaffer :: http://codytheking313.byethost11.com */ var time=1; function timeHere() { time = time + 1; finalTime = time / 10; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <form id="form1" method="post" action=""> <label>Fill this Data <input type="text" name="1" id="1" /> </label> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="2" id="2" value="Submit" /> </label> </p> </form> <a href="go/index.html">ads</a> </div> </body> </html> Thanks for the help Is it possible to make it so if you click on a <a href> the information such as the name or link changes the <title> of the page and replaces existing opened <div>s with information from the link or such. eg If i had a list of swf files that were attatched to links how could I display each swf file onclick without redirecting whilst changing the title and content? Hi, I have a programing problem that have been around for ages. I have search on google using several expressions and words and after hours of digging i'm still unable to do it. I would like to get a value from a HTML page hosted remotely with an inconstant value. Then define this value and name as a javascript variable and apply or show in my page. Thanks for all the help P.S. Is there any way to make a domain lookup in javascript? I mean a user enters a domain and the script converts to an ip and shows to the user. If not thanks, probably it can only be done in the server side... Hello I have a php page in which I declared a js variable... right at the top of the page... <script type="text/javascript"> var tester = 0; </script> Later in the page I test this variable... <script type="text/javascript"> if (tester==1){ do some stuff!! } </script> But I keep getting an error variable _tester undefined Am I missing something obvious... I am new to js... but this seems really straightforward Hi! I have a javascript in the head of the document which has a variable named "ref2" ... ref2 is already working as I can see its value working in another function. I need to send this variable as the value of a hidden field in the form which is in the body of the document. This is my JavaScript Code: Code: function WriteContactFormStatement1 () { var ContactFormValue = ref2; document.write('<input type="hidden" name="UReferrersName" value="' + ContactFormValue + '" />'); } var WriteContactFormStatement = WriteContactFormStatement1 (); And at the end of my form, before the submit button, I have the following code: Code: <!-- START -- Javascript to print the statement for UReferrersName --> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> //WriteContactFormStatement(); document.write (WriteContactFormStatement); </script> <!-- End -- Javascript to print the statement for UReferrersName --> When I execute the form, it doesn't work the way it should, plus, gives me a word "undefined" next to the "Submit" button ..... Please help !... - Xeirus. I don't know how I should do ? Quote: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function add(a,b){ y=a+b return y } var aaa = add(one,two) //one needs to get somehow get the value of yil, in this case 10 var one = function reas(){i=10;if(i<10){yil = 15}; else{yil = 10; yil = one;}; var two = 20; document.write(y) </script> </head> </html> also why doesn't this work? Quote: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function adder(a,b){ var k=a+b; return k } var hes=adder(5,kol); kol=40; alert(hes); </script> </head> </html> you cannot have variables in callback functions? If I manually write out "2/22/2012 4:00 PM" in TargetDate, I get the correct result for what I want to do (a countdown). But I want the countdown to always be the current day at 4pm. So I tried the code below thats commented, but it is not working. New to javascript, still reading the books, just hoping for some guidance on this. Code: Next Update: <script language="JavaScript"> var currentTime = new Date() var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1 var day = currentTime.getDate() var year = currentTime.getFullYear() TargetDate = "2/22/2012 4:00 PM"; //TargetDate = "document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year) + 4:00PM"; BackColor = "white"; ForeColor = "red"; CountActive = true; CountStepper = -1; LeadingZero = true; DisplayFormat = "%%H%% H, %%M%% M, %%S%% S"; FinishMessage = "Forecasts posted"; </script> <script language="JavaScript" src="countdown.js"></script> Hello I have a piece of javascrip that refreshes the page: ---------- Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- Begin function reFresh() { location.reload(true) } /* Set the number below to the amount of delay, in milliseconds, you want between page reloads: 1 minute = 60000 milliseconds. 2 minutes = 120000 milliseconds 5 minutes = 300000 milliseconds*/ window.setInterval("reFresh()",20000); // End --> </script> -------- I am new to javascript and wanted to use an html options menu in order to be able to choose the refresh interval: Code: <SELECT NAME="refreshtime"> <OPTION VALUE="60000">1 min</option> <OPTION VALUE="120000">2 min</option> <OPTION VALUE="180000">3 min</option> <OPTION VALUE="240000">4 min</option> </SELECT> I know that I have to pass a variable to the function. I have tried several variations but none have worked. I have mostly received a "done with errors" warning. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Zam This might be a stupid question, but is there any memory usage difference between var variable1, variable2; and var variable1; var variable2;? I'm learning how to use faster code hence the question.
