JavaScript - Javascript Coding In Separate File(s)

I have a basic Javascript slideshow that flicks through a series of 6 jpg images very quickly.
I also have a button that i need coded so that when a user clicks on the button, the script for the slide show slows down the speed of the flicking images slowly over the coarse of ten seconds and stops on an image.
How do i go about coding the button in javascript?
I hope this makes sense.

Thankyou

Here is my code so far.

var i, imgs, pic;

function rotate()
{
pic.src=imgs[i];
(i===(imgs.length -1))? i=0:i++;
setTimeout(rotate,500);
}




function diceroll()
{
pic=document.getElementById("yes");
imgs=["photo1.jpg", "photo2.jpg","photo3.jpg","photo4.jpg","photo5.jpg"];

var preload=new Array();
for(i=0;i<imgs.length;i++)
{
preload[i]=new Image();
preload[i].src=imgs[i];
}

i=0;
rotate();
}

I have a code that I implemented on my site. I was wondering if there was a way to had an active link within the 'blurb' section? I'm not familiar with Javascript...

var blurb = new Array();
blurb[0]="Text 1"
blurb[1]="Text 2"
blurb[2]="Text 3"
blurb[3]="Text 4"
blurb[4]="Text 5<br>More text<br>Add a link"
blurb[5]="www.link.com"

for (i=0; i < aryImages.length; i++) {
var preload = new Image();
preload.src = aryImages[i];
}

function swap(imgIndex) {
document['imgMain'].src = aryImages[imgIndex];
TheText = blurb[imgIndex];
document.getElementById('blurbarea').innerHTML=TheText;
}

Any help would be great!!

I am an amateur web designer and could really use your help.

I'm working on a test page right now (http://www.piscatawayacres.com/test.html). I'm trying to have 3 effects going on at the same time, but due to my inexperience with Javascript (I, in fact, copied and pasted most of it), I can't get them to work. To complicate things, my test page works to a certain extent, but when I copy and paste the coding to other pages (like alpacas.html, sheep.html, goats.html, etc.) it ceases to work. I have no idea why it does this.

The 3 effects I want to have work:

1. Javascript rollover buttons.

2. A Javascript slideshow--the square picture above the buttons should be changing.

3. I want the image and the buttons to follow the user down the page as they scroll. For some reason though, the buttons (on the couple of pages they work at all) cease to work except at the very top of the page or the very bottom, but not in between.

I've been struggling with this obstacle for a long time, so I would greatly appreciate any help someone could give.

Thanks so much for your help.

P.S. I want to emphasize that some of the coding works on the test.html page, but WON'T work when I copy and paste it elsewhere. I can only assume it is because of conflicts with the coding. I know my coding is not flawless....

Hi Experts,

I'm new to this forum and need your help regarding javascript.

I am creating a roster for my team with a web interface.
Ex: A picture is attached for your reference

The time is in IST (+5:30)

I have created a drp down list which has PST, EST,CST time. I need to write a code so that whenever I select any of these times (PST,EST,CST, MST, IST) , it should automatically update the table. Please help.

Regards,
Indy

Okay, I am relatively new to Java and am going to be taking a class on it next fall. For now though, I am trying to code for a client I am currently working with and am hopelessly lost.

The client I am working with has an ecommerce site with Network Solutions which uses aspx. It allows you to code html and link to css, java (pretty much anything except php). The problem I am having is that they currently have their product descriptions coded in div tags:

<div id='alternatebg'>
<div id='detailsgreybox'><div id='alternatename'><p>Alternate Name</p></div></div>
<div id='pd2'><p>Not Available</p></div>
</div>

<div id='usebg'>
<div id='detailsgreybox'><div id='use'><p>Use</p></div></div>
<div id='pd3'><p>Chemicals</p></div>
</div>

What they want to happen is for the sections that have 'Not Available' as the answer to not show up on the live page. I have tried to use <ns:if condition="..."> but do not know how to call for it to see if the div says 'Not Available'.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I can not move forward until I can figure this out.

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I want to improve my ability to write JavaScript and am looking for a friendly place to find some constructive criticism and suggestions on my code.

This script does not have any practical use (that I can think of); it calculates prime numbers. It is just an exercise. I am looking for suggestions on all aspects from the CSS/aesthetics to the HTML and of course the JavaScript.

I posted the script here.

One definite thing that bugs me is the cursor is not in the text field when the page loads. Also it would be better if the user had the option of hitting the return key in addition to the submit button. Suggestions appreciated.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

<title>Prime Number Calculator</title>
	<style type="text/css">
		form{
			width: 200px;
			border: solid 3px blue;
			border-style: double;
			padding:5px;
			text-align:center;
			background-color:#eee;
		}
		#title{
		
			text-align:center;
			border: solid 1px blue;
			background-color:#fff;
			margin:5px;
			padding:0px;
		}
	</style>
	<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var candidates = new Array();
		function calculatePrimes(form){
  			var max = form.input.value; 
			
			//Check to make sure input is a number
			if(isNaN(max)){
				alert("Dude, you must enter a number!");
			}
			
			for(i=2; i<=max; i++){candidates[i]=i;}
			
			var i=2;
			for(i=2; i<Math.sqrt(max); i++){
				if (candidates[i]!=0){
					var j=i*i;
					while(j<max){
						candidates[j] = 0;
						j=j+i;
					}
				}
			}
			
			//Pull the primes out of the candidates
			i=2;
			var primesOut = "";
			for(i=2; i<max; i++){
				if(candidates[i]!= 0){
					primesOut = primesOut + ((i>2)?", " : "" ) + candidates[i];
				}
			}
			form.output.value = primesOut;
		}
	</script>
<head>
<body>
	<form>
		<h2 id="title">Prime-Number Calculator</h1>
		Check up to:<input type="text" name="input" size="5" value="100" \> <br />
		<textarea rows="5" cols="20" name="output"></textarea>
		<input  name="calc" value="Find!" type=button onClick="calculatePrimes(this.form)">

Hi,

I'm still in the early stages of learning Javascript so I'm not sure how (or if it's possible) to do this. I know HTML, CSS, etc... just not too familiar with Javascript. Here's the deal.... I run a website that features a chat room written in Perl for CGI. The chat room will automatically email a user their password if it's forgotten but there is one issue.....it does not have the "Forgot Password?" link. To achieve the Lost Password page, the user must enter an invalid password FIRST on the login screen, otherwise they cannot get to that option and are often requesting assistance.

What I had in mind was an easier way for the user to get their password since new novice members are not sure how to get to the lost password page. I'm not trying to edit the Perl code for the chat, but I wanted to build a "Forgot Password?" page using a Javascript code that will automatically take their username from the "username" login field and direct them to the lost password page which would be "chat2.cgi?action=send_pwd&name=..."

I'm sorry if this is confusing, I'm not sure that I am explaining this right. When the user enters an invalid password, it takes them to the lost password page which contains a link "lost password" and will automatically email them their login details when clicked on. When they click that link, the URL contains the string "chat2.cgi?action=send_pwd&name=username"

What I would like to do is put a link on the login page (like most normal chat rooms have) that says "Forgot Password?". When clicked on, I want it to take them to a page where all they have to do is enter their username in a form and click Submit, then have a Javascript code automatically extract their username from that field and insert their username automatically to the end of that URL (chat2.cgi?action=send_pwd&name=...) where ... would be the name extracted from that form field. This would result in the browser taking them to that URL which would trigger the chat to automatically email the password. Can I do this with Javascript?? If so, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

I have been trying to create a form using Django for a very long time but have not been able to get it to look the way I want. Someone suggested to me that I should use Javascript (Jquery) to do this.

Here's what I want to do. For the form I want, there are certain statuses at the bottom, like "Done", "Incomplete" and etc. When the form is filled in, the person will click on one of these statuses. What I want this button to do is to save the page/form and also to generate a few new links relating to the status selected.

For example, if the person selects "Done" this should save the form and generate two new buttons. One that says "Close" which would take you to the home page, and one that says "Continue" which would take you to the next form.

My problem is that I'm new to Django and have no experience with Javascript. So if anyone could help or give me hints that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on a new custom theme for my WordPress based site, and up until now I've been using the following PHP code to color code links based on whether the post was in the "Wii" category, "Xbox" category, or "PlayStation" category:

PHP Code:
<li>
    <?php if (in_category(3) ) { ?>
    <a style="color:#990000;" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <? }elseif (in_category(4) ) { ?>
    <a style="color:#669900;" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <? }elseif (in_category(7) ) { ?>
    <a style="color:#0099cc;" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <? } else { ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <? } ?>
</li>

Thing is, I've now installed a plugin called "Recently Popular" that logs all visits and can output which posts were viewed the most in the past X days/weeks/months/etc. and the author has it set up to only allow HTML formatting via this line:

PHP Code:
<?php get_recently_popular(1, 'WEEK', 5, 0, 0, '<a href="%post_url%" rel="bookmark" title="%post_title%">%post_title%</a>'); ?>

I've tried sticking PHP in the line, but it only takes HTML. I've tried sticking one of these lines in each of the conditional statements above, but realized that this line outputs the entire "Recently Popular" list, not just one item - so everything would end up being the same color still. I contacted the plugin author, who said that without hardcoding there's no way to get around this via the plugin, but that outputting it normally and running it through JavaScript might give me a way to apply CSS styling to it after it's been rendered.

I'm not experienced with JavaScript, unfortunately... does anyone know how I can do this?

Hello all out there I am going to post this in 2 separate views.

I am working on an assignment from this link

if u scroll down to case 1
is what I am working on

included in the case are 2 other files as to the one i have to work on

I can get this code to take two separate sections of a file which are not beside each other and write them into another file. It always comes up as a single full line of the code instead of the sections I want. The code includes the student number first name last name and three results of assignments. I want the code to write the student number and three results of all the students into a file and then work out the average of the student results. Can you help?

Code:

 try{                    
               while (in.hasNextLine())
               {
                  String line = in.nextLine();
                  out.println( line);
                  int i=0;
                  if(!Character.isDigit(line.charAt(i)))  { i++; }
                  studentStringNumber = line.substring(0, i);
                  String stringResult = line.substring(i);
                              	
                  studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber.trim();
                  stringResults = stringResults.trim();
                  double stringResultsValue = Double.parseDouble(stringResults.trim());
                  stringResults = in.nextLine();
                              	
                                 
                  studentStringNumber = in.nextLine();
                  studentNumber = Integer.parseInt(studentStringNumber);
                  if(in.hasNextInt())
                  {
                     int value = in.nextInt();
                  }
               						 					   
                  results = Double.parseDouble(stringResults); 
                  if(in.hasNextDouble())
                  {
                     double value = in.nextDouble();
                  } 
               						               	
                            	
                  Scanner lineScanner = new Scanner(line);
                  studentStringNumber = lineScanner.next();
                  while(!lineScanner.hasNextDouble())
                  {
                     studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber+ " " +lineScanner.next();
                  }
                  stringResultsValue = lineScanner.nextDouble();

Hi,

I have the following code snippet:
test.html
======
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var testVariable = "test";
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="test.js">
</script>

test.js
=====
var testVariable = window.top.testVariable;

In firefox, I'm able to access testvariable defined within test.html in test.js.

But in chrome, test.js couldnot get the window.top.testVariable field defined in test.html.

Can any one please let me know how i can make it work in chrome?. Am i missing something here?.

Hi,

I have read (and been told) that the current standard/fashion is to have separate files for html, css and javascript but nobody has ever said why that is... it would seem to me to be easier to keep everything in one file, but there must be advantages to separating them out. Does anybody feel like breaking them down for me?

thanks in advance.
