Any Articles Or Books Tell Internal Principle Of SetTimeout And SetInterval
Jan 17, 2011
I wanna get some deep information about how browser implements the dispatch mechanism of events , native setTimeout and setInterval. Any books or articles reference it?
I'm trying to build the framework for an AJAX back/forward button fixer. Basically it uses the hash fix for them (using text after the # to add history objects). To this effect, the function to check for updates has to be run every second or so. No problem, I'll just use setInterval for that.
For whatever reason, though, setInterval gives me an error. Specifically that oldLocation (global variable) is undefined (in the checkURL function). So I try setTimeout. Same thing. When I just call the function explicitly once (adding checkURL(); to the end of the script) everything works wonderfuly; it's just setting it up on a timer that messes up. Frankly, I've no idea why it's doing this. (The bug just seems so odd) Maybe a more advanced JS coder can shed some light on it.. Code:
I have a script that I have tried running using both setTimeout and setInterval. It works fine in every browser except safari 3. It will run fine for a few loops and then stop.
I've been trying a number of different approaches but can't seem to get it right. The idea was to loop the main funtion of the script (loadContent) by ending with the setTimeout, that I had to move to another function. Why, I don't know, but that's the only way it works. I'm a professional PHP programmer, getting to grips with Javascript in this era where Ajax rules firmly is part of my job. Can't say I have been enjoying the experience so far, though.Right, enough bashing for today! The idea was to have a simple script, linked to a php script that would load images, based on the data sent via Javascript and an XML datafile. This does happen, only: the timeout of 5 or 6 seconds doesn't seem to last even a millisecond.
I am trying to add this affiliate code to my site www.koolgadjets.com but when i add this code in article the code is getting disappeared . Javascripts are coming properly but how do i embed iframe code to my articles.
I am creating table with input fields. I dynamically add new rows to the table with the following code:
Now I would like also to add autocompleter on newly created input. I do not know how to select newly created input with jQuery. I know how to do that with javascript:
So I would like to be able to do the same with jQuery so I can add autocompleter on newly added input field articles[].
I add autocompleter to all fields at the begging with the following code:
Im new to ajax and javascript (I have knowledge of ActionScipt, css, html, xml and php) so I wanna buy a good book for beginers. Do you know some title? I saw at amazon: Ajax in Action, Professional Ajax (Programmer to Programmer) and Foundations of Ajax (Foundation).
The only book currently endorsed by c.l.j. regulars is: javascript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition By David Flanagan ISBN:0-596-00048-0 (Also by David Flanagan: JavaScript Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition. ISBN 0-596-00411-7 for language and API reference alone).
I recently launched a question answer site that connects people with problems to those with solutions. We let people with problems pay solution providers $0.25 for problems in over 100 categories.
As part of our service we let people review past problems and also provide resources for their own research.
Can anyone tell me (in their opinion)?
What are the best three sites for javascript information? What are the best three javascript books they own?
At present I am reading Javascript for Dummies, no-one tut please! Can anyone suggest a good beginners book for javascript that is easy to understand but allows progression from nothing to competent (graphics welcome); which includes everything.
I have a forum with over 5000 topics (lots of content in each topic) and I have a wiki-website with over 4000 articles. Both share the same database and are similar in context.
Now, I was wondering if there is a JavaScript out there that can could scan my forum page and underline words on that page that are articles on the wiki. For instance, if I have an article in the wiki entitled "Heart", where ever "Heart" appears in the forum, it is underlined and linked to that exact article on the wiki.
This conceptual idea is very similar to In-Text advertisements, such as Kontera, but I can't seem to find the scripting they use.
I would like to embed the search results of the Google books search into my website. It should be like Google News elements widget supplied by google itself. I need to have results and not the custom search box.
I have a background that is a shelf full of books, I wanted to figure out what I would need to do in order to make a random number of books pop out on mouse over (individually), and upon click have the book pulled out and be flipped through and read like a book. Would I have to recreate the library picture completely to make the random books moveable? And would I have to create the books that I want to move from the bookshelf?
how to pull the book out from the book shelf so that it looks like it's coming towards me and then to make it look like it has been pulled out. Would I need to use animation for this? What would be the parts to the animation required?
A little background on my knowledge of javascript: I understand the concepts of it and can understand it when I read it or its explained to me. I am looking to create something as simple as I can, I thought having a background and something basic like a few books be able to pop out. When I realized css couldn't do this and css3 wasn't supported by most browsers I turned to javascript and have been trying to figure out the steps I would need to do to do this specifically.
I have the following function that's supposed to say "Please make a guess" 20 seconds after an initial confirmation is displayed. However, it's immediately displayed as soon as someone hits "Cancel". If I change it's time to 40000 (20 seconds after the initial function is called), it does do it 40 seconds total, so it kind of does what I want. So it seems that the second setTimeout is initiated from the time the script is called generally, but I'm looking for a way specifically to have the 20 seconds start only after the "cancel" button is hit.
I have a program in which a user must enter number of books and price and then calculate the total cost of the items, i have tried and tried to get it working to no effect can anyone see where i have went wrong.
I am new to Javascript and I downloaded JSE internal search engine v 1.0a from CodingForums. It works fine in all browsers other than ie6 and ie7. Have confirmed that other javascripts are working in these browsers so it is not my browser settings.
I like having scripts external, but I wonder about the security of internal anyway. Someone could save and change the HTML, right? But is that possible with an external script? I always thought not (unless there was an error), until a person on this forum was able to grab the script I was working with at the time. No problem with that, but it brings up the question in my mind about security in general surrounding java-script.
I've been doing this for a while and I cannot get the "Contact Us" link to work from this page. It works in the Home page. I'm probably missing something stupid but I can't see it.
I'm doing a site and want to have a scrollable menu area so that more links can be added at a later date. I need to know how to do this without resorting to flash as its a HTML only site. The whole thing needs to look as close as possible to the attached GIF.
Does anyone have a reputable reference about internal string storage in JavaScript? (for some particular implementation I mean).
Say having 1,048,576 characters long string from the geometric progression:
function generateLargeString() { var s = 'a' for (var i=1; i<21; ++i) { s = s.concat(s); } return s; }
- the internal size should be 2 mebibytes and not 1 (?) if strings are indeed stored as Unicode 16-bit. From the other hand it would be tempting for an engine developer do not spend extra bytes on ASCII chars...
So does anyone know of any documented engine optimizations on the matter? Would be expected on some engine to have the string from above twice smaller than say
function generateLargeString() { // 1200 ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE HA var s = String.fromCharCode(0x1200); for (var i=1; i<21; ++i) { s = s.concat(s); } return s; }
