JavaScript - Figuring Out The Js Behavior

Hello,

What I need is a simple service area, zip code validation form that redirects to a certain URL when a valid zip code is submitted and a different URL when an invalid zip code is submitted.

I found a form script example that works well with only a single zip code. My problem is I can't figure out how to modify it so that multiple zip codes are valid.

Here is the head part. 60016 is one of about 50 valid zip codes I need the form to accept as valid -

[code]
<script>

var correctCode = "60016";


function validateCode()
{
var code = document.getElementById("codeTextBox").value;

if (code == correctCode)
{
window.location.href = "/ggc/test1";
}
else
{
window.location.href = "/ggc/test2";
}
}
</script>
[code]

Here is the body part -

[code]
Please enter your zip code:
<input type="text" name="codeTextBox" id="codeTextBox" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="validateCode()" />
[code]

I have been testing regex test string to match the following pattern
(- <any number with/without . decimal point>)
( -[#[.#]] )
here is the code that works the best:
Code:

var testStr = '99999+((-25.533) - 5)/99*(-25.533)';
var negValTestStr = new RegExp('\\(\-{1}[0-9]*\.?[0-9]*\\)', 'g');
var test = testStr.match(negValTestStr)
alert(test);

The question is: Why does it only work when the open and close
parenthesis are double escaped: '\\(' and '\\)'
When I use one backslash to escape, it will find -25.533, -5 and -25.533
With two backslashes for escape sequence: (-25.533), (-25.533)

Also, I have to escape the - to get just one -. If I do not escape the -,
-?; which should read - {0, 1} will match --# without escaping -

Thanks for thoughts on this

Hi everyone
Im new here nice forum

Hope someone can help out with my problem
http://www.testingremote.ucoz.com/
When you click on anything other than home on the nav bar it messes up the
appear/fade behavior that I added with dreamweaver

any solutions ?
Please help !

I have an interval set that runs indefinitely (backgrounds switching) or until the viewer stops it. I've noticed that when I close a tab while it's running and revisit the page, it "doubles" the interval and the backgrounds get mixed up. Refreshing the page returns it to normal.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've tried clearing the interval with window.onunload and window.onbeforeunload. I'm thinking it has something to do with firefox not clearing its cache for the tab. I'll look into disabling that.

Since it is not clear to me where this post should fit in the forum, I'm just posting it here.

Is it possible to create a tracking code that would allow me to:

(1) a) Find out the identity of visitors to a certain website (a website unrelated to me and the visitors did not visit my website)
b) The identity of those who recently searched for a certain keywords
and/or...
(2) Find out what websites certain individuals have recently visited (or visiting in real-time)?

Ok, so I wanted to use the following object to copy the contents of the Report array at index [file][entry].
Code:

  Selected = {
   fileIndex : file,
   entryIndex : entry,
   Entry : Report[file][entry]
   }

This was done so that the user may perform modifications to the entry without updating the entry until I have run validation on the input. Then I used
Code:

  if(valid)
   Report[Selected.fileIndex][Selected.entryIndex] = Selected.Entry

to finish up. I noticed that the Report array was getting the new input even when I didn't validate.

I used the following to view all the contents of the Report Array in real time

Code:

window.setInterval('SHOW_ARRAY();',200);
Report=[];
function SHOW_ARRAY(){
 HTML('ReportDebug','')	//Reset "ReportDebug" HTML element
 for(var t in Report){
  for(var y in Report[t]){
   for(var u in Report[t][y]){
    HTML('ReportDebug','<span style="position:relative ; border:2px solid black">'+Report[t][y][u]+'</span>',1) // last argument signifies to append HTML element
    }
   }
   HTML('ReportDebug','<br />',1)
  }
 }

And what I discovered was that whenever I stored values in Selected.Entry the Report array would update with those values!
This is my first attempt to create an object in this fashion, so my only guess is that Selected.Entry is not independent from Report[file][entry], but instead some kind of pointer... Where have I gone wrong, and how can I accomplish my goal?
Let me know if my code samples were too brief.

I am attempting to implement a Close icon which responds to mouseover, mouseup, mousedown, and mouseout. The problem is that the first DIV I display, using this code, works as intended, i.e. all the button states work. I can close and reopen the same DIV and everything is still fine. If I open a second DIV, which uses the reuse code below, the button states do not appear, although the DIV will close properly. If I step through the debugger all of the state images load properly but do not appear. Once I have tried to use the button in the second DIV, all of the DIV's fail to display the button states but close properly. Additionally all of the pages where this is used are generated using XMLHttpRequest(). The DIV's using this are generated when the site loads and then shown and hidden as needed with their contents being generated via XMLHttpRequest(). Anyone have any ideas?

The intent is to reuse the following in a number of DIV's:
Code:

rtn =  "<div id='closepanel' class='closepanel'><img src='images/closebutup.png' name='closebut' width='20px' height='20px' border='0px' onmouseover=\"swapbuttonstate('closebut','over')\" onmouseout=\"swapbuttonstate('closebut','out')\" onmousedown=\"swapbuttonstate('closebut','down')\" onmouseup=\"closePanel('"+this.msDivid+"')\" ></div>";

On startup I preload the images using :
Code:

if (document.images) {
	closebutup= new Image();
	closebutup.src="images/closebutup.png";
	closebutover= new Image();
	closebutover.src="images/closebutover.png";
	closebutdown=new Image();
	closebutdown.src="images/closebutdown.png";
}

The swapbuttonstate function is defined as:
Code:

function swapbuttonstate(buttonname, state) {
	switch(state) {
		case "over":
			if (document.images) {
				butover=eval(buttonname + "over.src");
					document[buttonname].src= butover;
			}
			break;
		case "out":
		case "up":
			if (document.images) {
				butup=eval(buttonname + "up.src");
					document[buttonname].src= butup;
			}
			break;
		case "down":
			if (document.images) {
				butdown=eval(buttonname + "down.src");
					document[buttonname].src= butdown;
			}
			break;
		}
}

and closePanel is defined as:
Code:

function closePanel(divid) {
	document.getElementById(divid).style.display='none';
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi i am using an image scroller and i have it on three pages, the pages use the same header, the same css and the same basic structure.

such as

table
content
footer

the problem is that the scroller works fine on two of the pages but does not work at all on the one page.

here is what i am getting on that page


Code:

Message: 'ElementExtensions' is null or not an object
Line: 1898
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mysite.com/lightbox_slideshow/prototype.js


Message: Object doesn't support this property or method
Line: 705
Char: 41
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mysite.com/lightbox_slideshow/lightbox.js


Message: Array length must be assigned a finite positive number
Line: 464
Char: 5
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mysite.com/lightbox/js/prototype.js

the only common denominator i can see is that the page it does NOT work on is in fact a photo manager page, the other two (that DO work dont deal with photos)

i checked the array and the js vars and stuff are different from my photo manager vars (php) so i was thinking maybe there might be a clash of some kind accessing the queries at the same time when the page loads but i dont get any errors other than these.

by the way the scroller is black not grey like the others for background.

does it sound like from the errors that i am getting that it might be a db query clash of somekind or do you know anything about those errors above that might give me a clue whats going on.

thanks

have a look at this website.

www.projectorhire.ie

in the contactDetails div the number appears for a split second and then disappears.. it only happens in firefox..

Can anyone tell me what the prob could be?

The code below is supposed to cancel the default form behavior when it finds certain info missing. Currently, however, in spite of detecting missing info it allows the form submission to continue. Anyone see what wrong? Thanks.

Code:

var DOM = YAHOO.util.Dom;
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(init);
 
function init() {
	YAHOO.util.Event.addListener("contact_form", "submit", checkForm);
}
 
function checkForm() {
	var fName = DOM.get('f_name');
	var lName = DOM.get('l_name');
	
	if (fName.value == "") {
		DOM.get('f_name_error').innerHTML = "This field is required!";
		fName.focus();
		 return false;  
	}

Hi!

I couldn't find any information about this topic in the internet and I really wonder, how come people do not discuss it anywhere?

Okay, jQuery works really great and offers many interesting effects, but what if you have JavaScript disabled? I mean I've browsed through several websites powered by jQuery with JS disabled and they doesn't work or behave weird. I know there aren't much people, who disable JS, but well I do want my page to be seen by all people in the end.

I managed to do it with slider on my page (however I want to use other jQuery effects), but, for example, http://www.flowplaye...ools/index.html doesn't provide any information about this. Try to disable JS and see that nothing works.

I can use <noscript></noscript> tag, but I have to make two main pages. And what if I want to view it on one page? What would you do?

Regards,
Aleks.

Hi,

I used the code on the following example:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_livesearch.asp

Instead of xml I use mysql but it works the same way.


My problem is with this character '#' (shift 3 - on my keyboard, or otherwise known as 'sharp').

Some of the words in my database table contain this character but when I type it, it acts like nothing was typed.


Any idea on what to do to make this work like any other character?

Thanks

Hi guys! I'm having trouble deciphering the javascript on my webpage

        else if (unicode == 37) {prevImg.click();} // left arrow
    });
    
});

and I changed the open sesame to closed sesame here in the code

Code:

//IF CONTENT NOT OPEN
			} else {
				jQuery(this).addClass('activeNav');//ADD ACTIVE NAV
				jQuery(thisBox).addClass('activeBox');
				openSesame();
			}
		}
	});

but now when the page loads the navbar wont show up at all. Any help/insight would be much appreciated!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. I get confused about what forum to post a question in with regards to DHTML technologies since they are all frequently used together. Anyhoo, heres my question.

I've recently discovered an interesting behavior. When I mouse over a nested element it triggers the 'onmouseout' event handler of the parent element. Take the following code snippet, for instance:

Code:

 <table>
    <tr>
        <td onmouseout="window.alert('you moused out of td');">
            <img src="image0.gif" style="height:50px; width:50px;" />
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

In the code snippet above, the 'onmouseout' event handler executes when you mouse over the image nested inside the <td> element.
I wouldn't have thought this would be the appropriate behavior since from my perspective the mouse is still inside the <td> element. Can someone make comments on this. Thank You.

Edit: I've discovered that mousing over a nested element causes both an 'onmouseout' and an 'onmouseover' event for the parent element. They are called back to back. Seems a little bit of an odd sequence of events but maybe it makes sense in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, right.

Hello All,

Below is my code, I am needing to get to where the label name will match the behavior that my field currently does. If nothing is entered the field is changed to a red background. If it is focused it goes back to white. I am needing the font color of the label to match color of the field and match the same behavior.
