JavaScript - Converting String To Numeric Values
First off, I would like to thank everyone who has offered their help so far in my little self-appointed project dealing with astral body locations. I finally have the script working the way it was intended to and am looking at cleaning it up at this point.
One of the things I would like to do in cleaning it up is change the way values are inputed when converting from Polar Coordinates to Cartesian Coordinates. The script is currently set up such that Right Accension is input in three fields identified as Hours, Minutes and Seconds. By the same token, the Declination Angle is input through three fields identified as Degrees, Minutes and Seconds. What I would like to do at this point is convert each set of three input fields to a single input field and allow the user to input the values as; Right Accension = 13:23:15.2 Declination Angle = 22:17:33 I understand that these would be inputed as String values and am familiar enough with the Split feature to extract the individual pieces of string (in this instance they would be 13, 23, 15.2 and 22, 17 and 33). What I am not familiar with, however, is converting those string values into numbers. I have done a bit of research into it and haven't really found anything that makes sense to me just yet, so if anyone can offer a bit of guidance, I am all ears. Not looking for anyone to specifically write the code for me, but if one of you fine folks could point me in the right direction as far as tutorials go, I would be thankful.

I want to use HTML Input text boxes for processing within nested functions and with the results output back to the HTML table. The code contains the HTML and Javascript. As the code stands data is reported back to the HTML table because the wanted functions have been commented out. Within the code is a note regarding the above. If I try to engage the functions add() or take() I have "NaN" returned. I have attempted to use x=Number(yy), x=parseInt(yy), but to no avail.

I have a dropdown list of a few items but are numbers though in chracters. I ned to output the value and the text of the selected item. As I cannot use a if-else statement, any help would be great. Code: <select id="std_num" onchange="displayValue()"> <option value="Two">Two</option> <option value="Zero">Zero</option> <option value="Five">Five</option> <option value="Three">Three</option> <option value="Two">Two</option> <option value="Zero">Zero</option> </select> Code: function displayValue() { alert(document.getElementById('std_num').value); var c = (document.getElementById('std_num').value); } Hi, I have a javascript program that currently takes the contents of a *.txt file and converts it to a string-type variable using a hidden iframe. For my pruposes it would be much nicer to read a *.csv file instead, however the method I'm using creates the "open/save file" pop-up window. All files are client-side and in the same folder on one computer; this is NOT server-side or internet-based. It is simply javascript used in an HTA file as programming code. The *.csv does not need to be edited, just read. I need to know how to convert the text of this *.csv file into a string variable. I have heard of using "xmlHTTPRequest (AJAX)" but am not familiar with how to use this. Any advice or code would be greatly appreciated. I have an Adobe pdf fill-able form field that requires a distance computation using javascript. One of the values needed in the computation is in the format of a string as feet - inches (for example: 4'-10"). I need to convert this into a number to use to complete a computation. Does anyone have a code snippet or any ideas on how to do this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hi I'm new to Javascript. This is how I get and set numeric values that are stored as character in object properties: Code: nIncrement = 5; nLeft = parseFloat(oObject.style.left); // get value as number nLeft = nLeft + nIncrement; // make some calcs... oObject.style.left = nLeft + 'px'; // convert numeric to character // or sometimes I just add a space: oObject.style.left = nLeft + ' '; // convert numeric to character Is that the correct way to do it? I feel uncomfortable doing it that way, could you advise me on how is the common way to do that in JS? Thanks. I am now working on a utility function that will gather the indexes for substring matches found in a string. There is an academic mystery I am puzzling over Code: function getMatchIndex(a, b) // a: sting to search b: what to search for { var out = new Array(); if(a.lastIndexOf(b) > -1) // at least two matches, ****! there could be more { if( (a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, a.lastIndexOf(b))).length > b.length ) { var stp = parseInt(a.lastIndexOf(b)) - (parseInt(a.indexOf(b)) + parseInt(b.length)); alert(stp) alert( (a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, stp)).length+' : '+a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, stp)); } else { out[out.length] = a.indexOf(b); out[out.length] = a.lastIndexOf(b); return out; } } else if(a.indexOf(b) > - 1 && a.lastIndexOf(b) == -1) { out[out.length] = a.indexOf(b); return out; } else if(a.indexOf(b) == -1) { out = 'no matches'; return out; } else { var splitStr = new Array(); splitStr = a.split(b); /* possibilities: 1: one match at the begining or end -- leaves one significant item 2: one match somewhere after the beginning and before the end. -- gives two matches. */ for(var i = 0; i < splitStr.length - 1; i++) // don't want the last segment length { out[out.length] = splitStr[i].length } } } getMatchIndex('xxxi5ixxxxxxxi5ixx', 'i5i'); in the following code snippet: Code: if( (a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, a.lastIndexOf(b))).length > b.length ) { var stp = parseInt(a.lastIndexOf(b)) - (parseInt(a.indexOf(b)) + parseInt(b.length)); alert(stp) alert( (a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, stp)).length+' : '+a.substr(a.indexOf(b) + b.length, stp)); I am trying to get the sub string between the end of the first match to the beginning of the last match. The 'if' test passes, but I have to parseInt the values to get the proper value for stp. SO, the question is, what is the actual data type of an index value obtained from a string. (It would appear to be a string; having to use it an a math expression doesn't work without parseInt). (I hope I haven't posted too much code) Thank you in advance.

I attempted to modify the code so that numeric navigation AND arrow navigation (next, previous) could toggle slides BUT I can't see the number navigation in IE6. Every other browser I have tested (mac Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome as well as IE7,8) work perfectly. Since I modified the original, I assume the error is in my javascript code OR in my CSS.

My files are look like 20100929, 20100930, 20101001 For epoch_classes.js, epoch_styles.css u can download coding from this link : http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...ch/index.shtml Code: Code: <html> <table width="900" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" style="padding:0"> <tr><td id="leftcolumn" width="170" align="left" valign="top"> <div style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px"><h3 class="left"><span class="left_h2">Select Option</span></h3> <a rel="nofollow" target="_top" href="day_wise.htm" >Day-wise</a><br /> <br /> <a rel="nofollow" target="_top" href="between.htm" >Between Days</a> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="epoch_styles.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="epoch_classes.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var cal1, cal2; window.onload = function () { cal1= new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('popup_container1')); cal2= new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('popup_container2')); }; /*............*/ function confirmation(f) { var startdate = f.fromdate.value var enddate = f.todate.value var myday=new Date() var yr=myday.getFullYear() var mn=myday.getMonth()+1 var dt=myday.getDate() var today="" var present, ys, ms, ds, ye,me,de, start, end if(mn < 10) { mn = "0" + mn } if(dt <10) { dt = "0" + dt } today= yr + "/" + mn + "/" + dt present=yr + "/" + mn + "/" +dt if (today < startdate ) { alert (" Start date should not be exceed to-day's date " + present ) startdate.focus() return false } if (today < enddate ) { alert (" End date should not be exceed to-day's date " + present ) enddate.focus() return false } if (today == startdate ) { alert(" You are selected to-days date as Starting day" ); } var answer = confirm("Do you want to continue ?") if (answer) { if( startdate < enddate) alert("Dates between " + startdate + " to " + enddate + " are confirmed" ) else alert("Dates between " + enddate + " to " + startdate + " are confirmed" ) } else { alert("Date not confirmed") window.location="to_date.htm"; } ys= startdate.substring(0,4); ms= startdate.substring(5,7); ds= startdate.substring(8,10); start=ys + "" + ms + "" +ds ye= enddate.substring(0,4); me= enddate.substring(5,7); de= enddate.substring(8,10); end=ye + "" + me + "" +de } /*.......................................................*/ </script> <div style="margin-left:100px;"> <body> <style type="text/css"> #conf { margin-left:115px; } </style> <td align="left" valign="top"> <table width="100" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td style="padding-top:0px"> </table> <h4>From Date</h4> <form name= "formbet" id="placeholder" method="post" action="#" > <input id="popup_container1" type="text" name= "fromdate" maxlength="10" size="20"/> <td align="left" valign="top"> <table width="300" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td style="padding-top:20px"> <h4>To Date</h4> <input id="popup_container2" type="text" name= "todate" maxlength="10" size="20"/> <br /> <br /> <input id="conf" type="button" onclick="confirmation(this.form)" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> In my coding, ys, ms, ds represents year starting, month starting, starting day... ye, me, de represents end... start,end gives file names in the format of yyyymmdd now i want to process files from 20100101 to 20100930 means from date is 2010/01/01 and to date is 2010/09/30 if i press submit button the files from 20100101 to 20100930 are processes here ys=2010 ms=01 ds =01 and ye=2010 me=09 de= 30 For this how do i call these textbox values (from date text box and todate) to another program (java) Thanks in advance. Hey all, I have a simple example below showing how when I pass in the value of the value attribute of option node, and then use if operator to check whether parameter is a string or not, even though it's a string, it converts it to false boolean and triggers the else statement rather than calling a function: Code: <body> <select> <option value="createMsg">Add Message</option> <option value="removeMsg">Remove Message</option> </select> </body> Code: var menu = { handleMenu : function(callback){ if(callback === "string"){ menu[callback](); } else { console.log("Issue occurred") } }, createMsg : function(){ var content = document.createTextNode("Please give additional information."), heading = document.createElement("h1"); heading.appendChild(content); document.body.appendChild(heading); }, removeMsg : function(){ } } document.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].onchange = function(){ menu.handleMenu(this.value)}; callback should be a string so why is it saying otherwise? Thanks for response I have a bunch of checkboxes like below that the user can check some or all and click the button and see the values of all the selected checkboxes. How can I do that? Code: <script> function alertValues(){ } </script> <input type="checkbox" class ="normal2" value="131971" name="list[]" > <input type="checkbox" class ="normal2" value="131973" name="list[]" > <input type="checkbox" class ="normal2" value="131975" name="list[]" > <input type="checkbox" class ="normal2" value="131977" name="list[]" > <input type="button" onClick="alertValues()" |
