Bourne Shell Or Tcl Style Loop In JavaScript?

Nov 12, 2007

In Bourne shell, you can do

Code:
for x in `foo bar grill` ; do
echo $x
done
and in Tcl I can do:


Code:
foreach e in { foo bar grill} {
put $e
}
but in JavaScript, I end up doing:


Code:
var l = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'grill' ];
for (var i in l) {
var x = l[i];
... do something with x...
}
Is there an idiom for looping over a fixed list of things in JavaScript that doesn't require creating a var before the loop?

Shell-like Case

Feb 20, 2007

In Bourne shell, you can do:

case ($x) in
foo*)
;;
*bar)
;;
esac

so that the first case matches any string starting with "foo", the
second any string ending in "bar", etc. In Tcl, you can:

switch -glob $x {
"foo*" {
}
"*bar" {
}
}

and accomplish the same thing. I'm struggling to do that in
JavaScript. switch seems to follow C semantics and do a full-length
match. And String.match() doesn't seem to do glob-style matching so I
can't do:

if ($x.match("foo*")) {
...

Is there a way to match on patterns in a JavaScript control structure?

WScript.Shell Problem

Jan 31, 2007

Trying to open a file on a network drive when user clicks an HTML button on a web page. When page loads, there is an error that states there's an invalid character on the line where I declare my variable. When I click the button, the error changes to "Object expected" but is on a line nowhere near any scripting or any HTML code related to scripting. Does my code look correct or no?

And, yes my button is calling the function on the "onclick" and "filepath" from VB code does have a value when I do a view source on the page.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function OpenFile(){
var x = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
x.run(<%=filepath %>);
}
</script>

Javascript Style Options Don't Work With Forefox

Oct 28, 2005

Ik want 3 radiobuttons (from the same group) to be hidden. They may appear when I check a checkbox in the same form.

When I put the radiobuttons al in 1 DIV, and use style='visibility='hidden' or display='none' with an onclick() it works fine with IE.

The problem is that mozilla firefox doesn't hide the elements.

Someone knows the solution?

JavaScript Function That Will Change XML Style Sheets

Dec 14, 2007

I've been trying to make a Firefox extension and I am finding a need for a style sheet switcher. I have found several sites that will give you stylesheet switches for HTML, XHTML, but not XML. When I search for an XML stylesheet switcher I'm getting information on XSLT. Which I do not want to use at this time. I want the stylesheet switcher to be a JavaScript function since I know how to evoke functions with XUL menu overlays the form of XML used to create Firefox extensions. I'm not looking for somebody here to know XUL. I would just like a function which you know would work with XML to try in my XUL form of XML to see if it will work. A link that would give me this function or information on how to write it would be good to. I am a newbie to both XML and Firefox extension writing. I spent all they reading about XML hoping it would give me the answer but it didn't. I have seen some information which seems to say that XML as similar stylesheet capabilities to HTML so I know that.

Using Javascript To Loop Images??

Apr 17, 2007

Let's say I have a Javascript function that loops over and over. In
that function i have it alternating images on a button this way:

if(var==0){
var myHTML = "<input type='button' style='background-image:
url(grnbutt.jpg);etc. etc.'>";
var outq = document.getElementById("qbutt");
outq.innerHTML = myHTML;
}
else{
var myHTML = "<input type='button' style='background-image:
url(grnbuttdark.jpg);etc. etc.'>";
var outq = document.getElementById("qbutt");
outq.innerHTML = myHTML;
}

This works great using Firefox, and works with Internet Explorer also
EXCEPT if its set to "Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every
visit to the page". With that setting, IE will download those 2 images
from the server every single time through the loop. So then I tried
putting both images on the same jpg and then moving the image:

if(var==0){
var elem = document.getElementById("grn");
elem.style.backgroundPosition = "-100px 0";
}
else{
var elem = document.getElementById("grn");
elem.style.backgroundPosition = "center";
}

This also works, but also, constantly downloads new images when using
IE with the above setting. Microsoft calls this a "feature". They then
offer a fix for this "feature" that... doesn't work. Preloading
doesn't work. Loading the 2 images in a <divset to invisible doesn't
work. I've tried suggestions of creating php files that tell the
browser that the images don't expire for years. That didn't work for
me. Many people have also suggested that there is no way around it...
it can't be fixed until Microsoft fixes it.

So, is there any javascript way to loop 2 images on a button, without
Internet Explorer constantly downloading those 2 images over and over,
when its set to "Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every visit
to the page"?

JQuery :: Obtain ORIGINAL Style Setting - And NOT Computed Style?

May 5, 2010

My understanding had been that $.css("width") would return the original user selected style, eg "100%" or "10em", and $.width() returned the computed width, always in "px". Not so, following the code through for .css(), it calls something called getComputedStyle and the only difference between the two functions turns out to be a post-fix of "px" on the .css() result - not very useful. I need to know whether my user has called me with a proportional dimension, or a fixed one. How to tell with jQuery?

JQuery :: Using To Style List-style-type?

Oct 12, 2011

This is probably quite a simple problem but I can't figure out the answer. I'm working on a site that has news stories and events coming in. What I would like is to have the news stories to be styled with squares and events with discs for instance. I might be able to change the actual plug-in so the CSS affects this change, but I just wondered how I could change the list-style-type with jQuery.

Using Javascript To Apply One Element's Style To Another Element

Jul 27, 2007

Code:

test.div.style.backgroundImage=test.div2.style.backgroundImage;

It works if I specify the actual background image within the function, so I know the image is there, and I know it's been properly assigned to div2, but div1's background image doesn't change.

Recursive Function With For Loop, For Loop Is Breaking When Calling Itself

Jan 22, 2011

I have been looking at this code for two evenings now, and rewrote it 4 times already. It started out as jQuery code and now it's just concatenating strings together.

What I'm trying to do: Build a menu/outline using unordered lists from a multidimensional array.

What is happening: Inside the buildMenuHTML function, if I call buildMenuHTML, the for loop only happens once (i.e. only for 'i' having a value of '0'.) If I comment out the call to itself, it goes through the for loop all 3 times, but obviously the submenus are not created.

Here is the test object:

test = [
{
"name" : "Menu 1",
"url" : "menu1.html",
"submenu" : [

[Code].....

'Menu 2' and 'Menu 3' don't show up! I'm sure it's something small that I'm overlooking.

Send A Loop Variable (i) To A Function Inside The Loop

Aug 4, 2011

I'm looking to send a loop variable (i) to a function inside the loop, but I can't seem to get it to use the value I want, it keeps making it a reference of i and therefore the function is always called using the last value of i rather than the one it was set with.

So if i have 5 Tabs then Tab 1, when clicked, should call DefaultTabClick(0) and so on rather than always using 4 for any of the tabs.

Changing For Loop To While Loop?

Nov 12, 2010

I am doing some studying and we was to create a small loop using either the for loop, while loop or do while loop. I chose to do the for loop because it was easier to understand, but I want to know how to do the same using the while loop. Here is the for loop I have, but I cant figure out how to change to while loop.

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
for (var j = i; j < 5; ++j)
{

[Code]....

How do you make the same using a while loop?
