Can I Assign An Event To A Global Variable?

Oct 4, 2007

I was wondering if anyone knew if/how to assign an event to
a global variable?

I tried to do it and IE 7 came back with an error saying "Member not
found"
My code looked similar to the following:

var globalEvevnt;
function showPopup(event){
globalEvent = event;
alert(globalEvent.type);
setTimeout(function(){unhideDiv()}, 2000 );

}

function unhideDiv(){
alert(globalEvent.type); //Member not found error found on this
line
}

I was wondering if I had declared the globalEvent = new Object();
would that make any difference? I thought everything in JS was an
object so the event could be stored to one as well?

JQuery :: Assign Data From $.getJSON() To Global Variable?

Mar 26, 2010

I am developing a jQuery application and I need to get a parameter from one getJSON request, then use it in another.

Here's a code example that of course is not working:

var ipAddr;
jQuery(function() {
// request IP address
$.getJSON("http://jsonip.appspot.com?callback=?", function(data) {

[Code].....

I know that getting IP address is very easy using PHP or other server side scripting language but I am bound on using HTML and jQuery only.

I am simply trying to use a global variable in javascript, but can only access the variable on the second call. I can't find anything that relates to this through my searches. My application is supposed to query the server for XML that tells me which years and months are available to put into combo boxes. I want to store this xml in a global variable to access it later.

Possible To Assign Variable To PHP?

May 2, 2011

I was wondering if it were possible to assign a PHP variable's value to that of a JS variable. What I mean is having a var in JS, and then making a PHP variable equal to the JS one.

Like this code...

Now of course, this file will be .php, and will be called as such when including it to a page (<script type="text/javascript" src="username.php").

The above code doesn't work... But I want to know if it can be done in such a manner. I just want a PHP variable to be equal to a variable in JS.

Eliminating A Global Variable

Jul 23, 2005

I've created a site where the pages generally contain a table of
contents (site map) down the left side. When each page loads, the
first function is called. The second function populates a global var
(array) of all the links.

I try to avoid using global variables, but I am stumped how to
eliminate this one (TocLinks) because other functions need to iterate
through it. I think the answer is to create a custom object that the
other functions can access. But I need some pointers on how to
proceed.

Here's the function that the pages call initially and the 2nd function
that it calls:

Global Variable In A Function

Jul 20, 2005

I have a .js file that receives a value from an html page. I'd like this
value to be a global variable that all functions in the .js file can use. I
have tried just declaring a var at the top of my .js file, but when the
value comes into the function and gets assigned to that variable, it is not
global.

Passing Value To Global Variable?

Mar 15, 2009

I have a site that calls the function welcome() and displays a prompt. The same site also has an iframe that calls the next function, add_name(), but when the pages are loaded it says that "answer" is undefined.It says on the page, where the <p id="guest"></p> is, "Welcome undefined". How do I make it so that the value of answer, which is given onLoad of the 1st page with the prompt, is displayed as text in function add_name()?

[CODE]
function welcome(){
var x = document.getElementById("body");

Undefined Variable (global?)

Sep 21, 2006

I'm currently coding the beginnings of a stopwatch script.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var startTime;
var currentTime;
var started = 0;

function startStopwatch() {
if (started == 0) {
var startTime = new Date();
display();
alert(startTime);
}
}

function display() {
currentTime = new Date();
difference = (Number(currentTime) - Number(startTime));
document.stopwatch.display.value = difference;
setTimeout('display()',10)
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="stopwatch">
<input type="text" name="display" readonly="readonly" size="40">
<input type="button" name="start" value="Start" onclick="startStopwatch();">
<input type="button" name="stop" value="Stop">
<input type="button" name="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>

The value of startTime when called from display() is undefined. I'm not sure why, as I declared the variable outside the function. The variable should be accessible by all functions, right?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is There A Way To Dynamically Assign A Variable Name??

Jul 20, 2005

I have a number of input boxes used to display totals based on
selected items for each row in a table. There are more than a few
rows that are identical, except for the form field name. I have added
a sample of that below (there would be many more rows).

I'm wondering if there is a way to dynamically generate the variable
names (ie: T1val, T2val, etc.) in my function 'calc', based on the
argument 'regnum' that I pass it. The problem right now, is that I
have to repeat lines 9 to 15 for every row that I add, using the
specific variable names for each. If there was some way to
dynamically create and assign them using the value of 'regnum'
(similar to using 'elements'), that would be great.

I guess one way might be to create hidden fields for each of those
variables, and I could then use the 'elements' syntax to assign
values, but wondered if there is a simpler way. Code:

Assign Array To Variable?

Oct 20, 2010

If I assign an array to another variable, any changes to the array change both variables. Is it a pointer instead of a copy? Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
Arr=['a','b','c'];
Arr2=Arr;

[code]....

Variables don't do this but it's happening for arrays in IE and FireFox, maybe all others.

Assign A Variable (JSP) From Within A Script

Oct 31, 2006

Basically what I am doing is reading some values from a javascript that reads from an XML file. What I am trying to accomplish is a way to assign a variable that was declared within the "<% .. String strValue="" .... %>" section of my JSP page with a value returned from the script. Here is my code:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
String strValue = "NONE";
%>
......

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("customers.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('name');
document.write(x[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
</SCRIPT>

</BODY>
</HTML>

As you can see in the above code the output of the script will be the 3rd node(starting from 0 to 2). I would like to assign the output of "x[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue" to the variable that was declared in the beginning "strValue".

I have tried different combinations but since the variable needs to be encapsulated with the "<% %>" notation because of JSP, I am stumped.

Can't Assign Variable To Element

Feb 25, 2011

I have several lines of code in different functions where I need to refer to elements in document.form.max, so I figured I would define it as a global variable called tb1 to shorten the writing. The result however is the page senses an error as soon as it gets to tb1.value, of which I can't figure out why since things work when I change tb1 into a local variable. I was under the impression that global = full scope, so I'm not sure what's wrong here.[code]...

How To Build A Reference To A Global Variable

Jul 23, 2005

I declare multiple variables halfway down the page. The number between "mech" and "Num" is generated dynamically in the XSL. Later on I need to reference that variable in a function, but I need to build the variable name in script. How do I convert it from a string reference to a ref to the global variable?

function changePreference(pos,mt){
//mt does not reference mech2Num, I need it to.
}
changePreference(2,'my' + pos + 'Num');

var mech1Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;
var mech2Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;
var mech3Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;

Not Able To Access Global Variable / Enable This?

Apr 3, 2010

I'm trying to populate a web page with javascript. I have 2 functions. One that runs on-load so I can populate a dropdown list. The second one to process the selection when the user selects an item from the list.

I have a global variable in the top of my javascript that I use in the functions and as long as I set it in it's global scope, everything works fine. But what I really want to do is to pass this into the javascript running on this page via the code...

My question is. Where do I put this code so that I can use it to set the global variable "weekNumber"?

I've tried putting this code in the populateList function - NOPE! I've tried referencing it via window.weekNumber and this.weekNumber - NOPE. I'm stumped.

I've spent far too many hours trying to understand this without success. Can anyone help me figure out where to put this code so I can set the global variable weekNumber?

Is there a better way to do this?

Global Form Variable Not Working

Apr 4, 2006

I have defined a global variable for a form, but it seems my functions can't access it. The error I get from the Firefox Javascript console tells me that my variable has no properties. Code:

var giftForm = document.forms.uploadGift;

function sendForm() {
giftForm.target = 'main'
giftForm.submit();
window.close();
}

Everything runs without a hitch if I declare the form variable inside the function.
