JavaScript - Grabbing Variables From A Confirmation Page Via Javascript - Please Help

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?.

I want to pass 2 variables from a html page and collecting in another html page using javascript.
say i pass xyz and abc to a page 2.html from 1.html without using cookies.

In 1.html page i have many links. each link should be able to pass different variable to 2.html.

when some one clicks on a link the variables should be passed to 2.html
I want to know how to collect them and use them. please provide me code snippet.

All --

I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game.

I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script>

In gameSetting.js I have:

$(document).ready(function()
{
// call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js
}

in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined.

I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load...

$.getScript("gameLibrary.js");

However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem.

My options a

1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense.

2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers).

jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work.

Help appreciated.

I am perplexed about this one.
Not sure if php is the best solution or maybe javascript.
( or both.)

I am writing a litle script that will go to my mysql table and take out
20 rows ( from about 10,000 rows ) based on the WHERE statement.

Then I want to step through these 20 rows displaying
just two filds in this fashion:

First, I want to display one field in a "box" ( using divs and css )
then wait for a form input.
Then while keeping the first displayed box and field
display the second field in a similar box a fee lines below.
Wait for a form input
update some data.

Then onto the next row.

If I use javascript then I could keep all the processing on one page and not have
to have server refreshes.

But how do I get these those array elements from
$row['field1'] and $row['field2'] into javascript vars ?

Is this the best way to do this ?

Or would php and having a couple of extra trips to the server
for form processing be better ?

Thanks for any input.

Hi,

I'm looking to use the document function in javascript to change the TYPE of an INPUT.

However I want to change the TYPE of the INPUT according to a variable passed to the javascript button, so i use:

document.formname.inputname.value="newvalue";

I want to be able to change what inputname is depending on what is passed to the function, but right now firefox is telling me that it's undefined.

Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hi, Ive got a iphone based website im writing in html/javascript, it all works perfectly well apart from an issue with a javascript variable and i cant figure out what im doing wrong

At the start of the code i declare a variable

var jpgname='blank'; - its blank for testing


I then have a href which attempts to change this variables value when clicked

<li class="flip"><a onClick="jpgname='test'" href="#page">Cars</a></li>

If i replace the jpgname='test' with confirm('test) i get a popupbox so i know its running this code

under my #page section (just a div named section) i have

[<h1><script>document.write(jpgname);</script></h1>

however this always has the value 'blank'

Im sure im doing something stupid but im not sure what

Any help gratefully recieved

thanks

I am trying to transfer the variables of the form (username & password )in the html page to the process.php page which are both given below. However I am not able to read those values from the process.php page. Can anyone please let me know what is going wrong here? Thanks in advance and appreciate your help.

ok before i ask my question, please dont tell me to use php...i have my reasons for not doing so...and also, i would like to avoid cookies and ajax....that being said, lets see if you guys can help me out....


ive got a home page with a section where i have links....now, all those links actually go to the same page called services.html ....my problem is this....depending on what link they clicked, the page will display different information...and i cant for the life of me figure out out how to find out which link they clicked from the home page while in services.html....is there a way in my home page to create a variable that is usable on all pages that the person navigates to within my website? like a kind of global or something?? also, is there already a document object that tells me their history of what links they clicked....what im trying to do is contingent on knowing what link they clicked on the home page....basically, services.html has the same links as the home page; however, when i click each one, the innerHTML is changed to display the correect info...i just want to make it so that the home page tells services.html which link was clicked....or if thats not possible, maybe when i click one of the links on the home page, it takes me to services.html and activates one of services.html's links since it has the same links as the home page, except it has them working.


now lets also get a little creative...i dont know much javascript, but i do know you can create a new window and hide it...if i create a new window, will it be accessible from another page? because i can put variables in that window maybe or even use the name of the window as a holder...im thinking outside the box here but please help me out...im new to javascript

Hi,

I am using javascript to collect hidden form elements and then send the values to a php page, without reloading or changing the page. Basically i have a list of job vacancies, with just an apply button, when a person clicks on the apply button, the form collects some information from their account and sends it using the javascript code.

Now this works fine, except for if somebody then clicks on the second job it sends the information from the first form again. And it seems to remember the information.

What i am trying to find out is it possible to have multiple forms on one page which once submitted send variables to javascript which then send them to a php but clear themselves so that it doesn't remember the previous values.

Here is the code for the form:

Code:

<form id="submit" method="post">
                            <fieldset>
                       <input type="hidden" name="usern" id="usern" value="php variable" />
                       <input type="hidden" name="joborder_id"  id ="joborder_id" value="php variable" />
                       <input type="hidden" name="site_id"  id ="site_id" value="php variable" />
                       <button class="button positive">Apply For This Job </button>
                       </fieldset>
                       </form>
                       <div class="success" style="display: none;">Your Application has been sent.</div>
                              &nbsp;
                            </form>

And the Javascript code is he

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
	$("form#submit").submit(function() {
	// we want to store the values from the form input box, then send via ajax below
	var usern     = $('#usern').attr('value');
	var joborder_id    = $('#joborder_id').attr('value');
	var site_id    = $('#site_id').attr('value');
		$.ajax({
			type: "POST",
			url: "apply.php",
			data: "usern="+ usern +"& joborder_id="+ joborder_id +"& site_id="+ site_id,
			success: function(){
				$('form#submit').hide(function(){$('div.success').fadeIn();});

			}
		});
	return false;
	});
});

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi

is it possible to compare 2 php variables with javascript and hide-show a div according to the result?

lets say php variables are

Code:

$a
$b

and if ($a > $b) show the div

can anyone please help me to do this?

Sorry for language errors

Thanks

I have jQuery like:
jQuery(".forms_1_1").validate({

rules: {
inputname1: {
required: true,
},

or
inputname1: {
required: "Requested field!.",
},
Is it technically possible to add
1. PHP variable like $_SESSION and
2. Smarty variable into Javascript like {$global.variable1}

inputname1 is value for each variable (PHP, Smarty).

Need help how to include variable values into Javascript code.

How can I have global variables and global arrays whose value(s) can be modified and accessed by all the Javascript functions in my HTML document as well as by the HTML code?

Thank You

I am about to translate some C++ code to JavaScript.
In C++, it is straightforward to declare and use a Boolean variable; all I do is swap it between true and false and back again as needed.
For example,
Code:

// C++ Code
. . .
bool na = 1;
. . .
na = !na;

. . .

I am wondering if JavaScript offers boolean variables. As far as I know, it does not, but I thought I would confirm by asking around.

At the moment, I am planning to code the comparable block in Javascript using an "if" statement or a ternary operation.
For example,
Code:

JavaScript Code
. . .
var na = 1;

// Option 1
if (na) na = 0;
else na = 1;

// Option 2
na = ((na) ? 0 : 1);
. . .

Is one of these options recommended as the best way to simulate a boolean variable and operation? (I would like the fastest-executing code possible.) Or is there another--better--way to do it?

All advice and recommendations appreciated.
Thank-you in advance.
