Just getting my feet wet with AJAX and trying to figure out how I can make a javascript call to a specific PHP function in another file when I have a drop down menu change value using DOM. I've found lots of examples of how it could be done with GET variables, but none for this particular method of data retrieval. Has anyone ever ran into this, and if so, how did you solve this interesting deliema?
On my site I'm using an external (big) javascript file, in this external file there is a function with the following line in it:
function showslide(){ return(currentSlide); }
In my main html file the external javascript file is loaded within the head section. This external file does a lot of other stuff besides returning a number.Somewhere in my html file I need to call the showslide function. I tried doing that with this:
<script language ="Javascript" src="upload/3weg_slider.js"> document.write(showslide()); </script>
But it doesn't return anything, when I place an alert line within the function it doesn't show up either.
I have a requirement that my javascript function can be called directly from the other website. I know how to add the external javascript and then call respective function
<input type="button" value="Testing direct function call of javascript" onclick="CALL THE EXTERNAL JAVASCRIPT(which will call main function in it" />
I have simple function that I call from an alert box
alert(testScore);
It works fine. Unfortunately, I do not like the sound and Exclamation point icon that appears. I'd like a nice message box like VBA message box #64 to appear. I know hardly anything at all about VB or VBA. But, I do know you can call a VB function from Javascript. How? Is it possible to get my testScores to appear from the VB function? Is it hard? Where do I start looking?
I have a page with an iframe. The page defines some JavaScript functions in the head part. How can I access these functions from the iframe? In Firefox I can use parent.myFunction() but it doesn't work in IE.
I have a problem. I need to call a javascript function within the include html of a scriptlet. How do I do that ? Example in Main.html contain the following object tag :
<object id="dynamsg" width="100%" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px" height="350" data="scriplet.html" type="text/x-scriptlet"> In scriplet.html consist of a javascript function :
<script language=javascript> function Hello() { alert('Hello World'); } </script>
Now, how can I from Main.html call the Hello() function?
I have this: Code: <a href="javascript:employeeSearch();" class="textbutton">Lookup</a> and it doesn't seem to be working with firefox? does this look right? in IE it works fine.
I am developing an ASP.NET (C#) application and need some help. I wish to call a server-side function (in the code-behind "file.aspx.cs") upon a user clicking on the "X" to close the browser window. Is there a way to postback and call a server-side function when this happens? I am aware of the browser's native "onunload" event, but am not certain that what I'm looking for is actually possible.
I have a page that has a group of elements and i would like to add that whole group to the page as the user clicks add group button. In other words, i want to start with group1, then when i click on the add button, it will add group2, and so on.I have seen the various posts on the web on creating dynamic content, but every example i have seen works with javascript that is inside the html code.
I would like to have the code in a separate javascript file and when i call the function from the html page, it would add the group of elements i want to follow the current group.I need to pass the document to the function and then have the function add the group to the html page.
I have been trying to load a javascript function from the body onload html tag, but I only want the function to load the first time the page is loaded: I have investigated but haven't found anything that works.. I thought about cookies, but what if the user's disable them?
My code:
//I want to call the Toggle function below only on the 1st time the page is loaded:
<script language="javascript">
function Toggle(item) {
obj=document.getElementById(item); visible=(obj.style.display!="none") key=document.getElementById("x" + item); if (visible) { obj.style.display="none";
We had a javascript calling a Cold Fusion page (.cfm) and it was working for 2 years. Suddenly yesterday or today its decided it doesn't want to work anymore. I'm picking up somebody elses code I don't know all of the rules here.
All of the examples I've found really want .JS files if called with a script tag, example below.
I am rewriting a website to remove javascript that is repeated on every page.
There is a header, a menubar and a marquee.
I have placed the code for the header and the menubar in external .js files using document.writes. No problem.
But when I created an external .js for the marquee in the same way it does not work!
Both menubar and marquee use functions from a .js file (runtime.js) that was originally in the website, I still call it as it always was and it works fine for menubar but not marquee.
menubar.js uses runtime.js for mouseover, mouseoff functions. Code:
I have a question related to calling external JS files.
I have the following code in a .JS file:
document.writeln('<a href="http://www.xyz.com" TARGET="_BLANK" TITLE="For an online directory of distance graduate programs, click here!"> Click here!</a>');
It works perfectly...
I would like to add a mouseover command to it, i.e.: onMouseOver="window.status='Click here now to visit Education.com!'return true" OnMouseOut="window.status=''return true"
I've used the correct slashes in the right places. However, it doesn't work; probably because I'm trying to place Javascript within Javascript. How can I place the onMouseOver command in the code at the top of this page?
I know that you can call a php script using javascript. For example:
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.php"></script> I need to call an external script from within a javascript function. HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function rotateimages(){
I have a form button with id="submit". When pressed, ClickGeocode(credentials) is called. This works fine and dandy with: $('submit").click(ClickGeocode) Despite there being no indication that the function takes an argument 'credentials'. So when I want to call the function at some point in my code, I should be able to do something like ClickGeocode(credentials) ... no? However, my issue is that credentials isn't once defined in my code - it is part of Bing Maps function... like so:
function ClickGeocode(credentials) { map.getCredentials(MakeGeocodeRequest); }
So why does it work using .click(), and how can I call the function without user interaction (simply somewhere in my code) even if 'credentials' is not defined?
I have 2 javascript files: 1 containing generic functions for my site used sitewide and another for a particular web page containing just the javascript for that page. The page is also calling the jQuery javascript file.
What I want to do is have a javascript function in my main javascript file which uses features of jQuery such as show, hide etc. and then I want to call this javascript function from the other page specific javascript file.
[Code]...
This does not work and so was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to achieve this or something similar.
I try to make something where you add elements, and can delete elements later by calling a simple function. I simplyfied it right here: It works only to add the paragraphs, but the delete function doesn't work. Tried already to debug with an alert message after each rule... but the problem is with this rule I guess:
i have used Div with in Div and tryed calling it from javascript, its workin fine with IE...but in firefox its not not..it says "document.getElementById has no properties for first case " n "frames has no properties for second case " in the javascript console within firefox... Code:
My site has a widget that runs by calling an external script on a server outside my control. Normally this runs within a div as the page loads and the widget is displayed within the div.
What I am trying to do is call the script AFTER the page loads rather than while it loads. To do this, I am adding the script to the DOM (in the div I want, not to the head) on window.onload. An alert shows that the script is being created in the div.
The problem is that the script does not appear to fire in IE6 and IE7. In Firefox it runs, but rather than adding the widget to the div, it creates a new page (everything else on the page is lost).
I have made a test page to show the problem, as well as another page showing how the widget normally loads when the called while the page is loading. Code:
My goal is to load the JS for a specific element before displaying that element. I integrated a third part script, and it works well. I set the timer here:
The JS is in my heading as <script type="text/javascript" src="countdownpro.js"></script>
About mid-body I have: <span id="countdown1">2010-07-20 00:00:00 GMT+00:00</span> which allows for the setting of a target date to countdown to.
When the page first loads it shows the above long format target time, until the js/meta tags kick in to modify it to just show the actual countdown as 00:00:00.
I have attached countdownpro.js to this post. I tried shifting the function CD_Init() to the top of the script, and also appended it inline with the .html. I tried setting the big external script to "defer", but neither arrangement worked. I also tried placing the src file right at the top.
I am creating a little word guess game, with a random function which picks the word from an array of 10 words. The second function checks if the users' letter choice is part of the secret word. Currently, each time the checkGuess() function is called, the word is changed, probably because I am calling the wordPicker() function from within. The wordPicker randomly chooses the word, then returns that word. All I want to do is pull that word into the checkGuess function, without calling the wordPicker function as it currently does. Here is the code:
Create secret word array var wordList = new Array("stealth", "telephone", "internet", "nickel", "marine", "instantiate", "method", "function", "television", "monitor")
I am trying to write a function that is being invoked when some one clicks the submit button on the form.<form name="sectionA" action="optionpage.cfm" onSubmit="return abc()">I have three tables with initials textboxes. I want to check if they are empty and return false(stay on the same page), else go to action page.Here is what I am doing, I Created three functions tableA(), tableB(),tableC() call them from function abc(). These functions tableA(), tableB(), tableC() return false if one of the field is empty and stop furthur processing and remain in the same page. If none(errors), then go the other page.i.e if table B has empty fields, page should stop furthur processing and remain in the same page.Here is how I am doing it Can somebody please point out what I am doing wrong here.Even when there is empty field, the code moves me to the actionPage.
