Cannot Get Method Argument Passed As Function Parameter
Dec 1, 2011
New to JS. Have ordered some new books, but need to get somethings going in the mean time. What I wanted to do is to link to a new page having a date range input in the form of 6 text boxes, 2 sets of mm-dd-yy, from and to, where the upon loading the page box 1 of the from would auto focus and then auto tab and then post where php could take over on the server side. Setting up the form and the lay out, no problem. Auto focusing went just like expected using the following code, included because on the next step everything fell apart.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("input1").focus();
}
</script>
So then the wheels came off and in response, began to simplify what was trying to be done to find where the issues were. As far as I can get working is:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL]">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("input1").focus();
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function myFunc() {
alert("is this working");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc()" maxlength="2" value="type a No." />
</body>
</html>
First issue with this: When I first get to the page everything is just as ordered. The focus is on the text box and the default value is "type a No." When I press a key onkeyup, I bring up the alert box with "is this working" in it. But when I refresh the page with the refresh button, after clicking the "ok" on the alert box, the character that was typed in is still displayed. If I use the link to the page, or the URL from the address bar, then the page reloads properly with the default value, "type a No".
How do you get the default textbox value using the refresh button as apposed to reloading the page using a link or from the address bar? Using Firefox 8.0 more important at the moment: If I change the script to pass an argument to the function the script crashes. It does not pull up an alert box and freezes. My guess is that I'm doing something wrong on a concept level. Changed the default value of the text box to " ". Looked like to me there was an issue with the size specification and the default string length as you could only enter in a key stroke by highlighting the text and replacing it.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL]">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("input1").focus();
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function myFunc(awe) {
alert(awe);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc("123")" maxlength="2" value="" />
</body>
</html>

// etc
myDIVnode1.appendChild(document.createTextNode("a"));
// this shows "a"
alert(myDIVnode1.firstChild.nodeValue);
myDIVnode1.onclick= function() { somefunc(myDIVnode.firstChild.nodeValue); };
function somefunc(param)
{
// this returns "undefined" !!??

how to you use the result of a function as the argument for another function instead of passing the actual function to it. i.e.
function foo2(){}
function foo(func){}
foo(foo2);
This passes foo2 to foo, can I do foo(foo2()) ? i.e. is the difference between whether a function is passed or evaluated dependent on whether you use "()" after the function name?

I have downloaded 2 html pages that give me page1 with a drop down box for a list, and a 'show' button. this then passes dropdown value to page2 and JS presents the text on the page, but I want to use the passed parameter to change the src of an img with ID=img1.can post all the JS if you like but assume i am missing just a one liner replacing the ....
var name = getValue("name");
document.write(name);

I have a strange problem... I have a form with a text area that contains an XML document. This document can be modified by the user.
Once the document has been modified, the user pressed the "Submit" button to submit the modification (onclick=modify())... and go to another jsp page.... in my javascript, I have the following code:
function modify()
{
myRand=parseInt(Math.random()*99999999); // cache buster
var docXML=document.forms[0].xml.value;
var plist="myRand="+myRand+"&docXML="+escape(docXML);
url="modify_xml.jsp?"+plist;
document.forms[0].action=url;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
With Firefox, the problem does not occur.... but with Explorer, the form is not even submitted!!!!! Is there a workaround for this? The XML document is not even very big.

I'm passing the id of a div as a parameter. I'm not sure how to refer to it with Jquery. The following does not work:
Code:
function updatemail(param1, param2) {
$("#param2").animate({ opacity: "show" }, 300);
}
I also tried $(param2) but it did not work.

I posted a similar thread about this in the .NET forum, but I thought maybe there was a javascript way of doing what I need to do.Is there a way to redirect a user to another page while keeping the passed in #parameter?For example, if the user clicks the link:
page1.html#event1
Can I redirect to:
page2.html#event1
Basically keeping the #parameter in tact?

I am trying to match a passed parameter on a url to an area on an image map. So far I can find the correct area using
Code:
$('#mediummap area').each(function(i){
href = $(this).attr('href');
if (href == id) {
alert('Found ID ' + id);
}});}});
But next I need to retrieve the co-ordinates for the Area. I have tried
Code:
coords = $('this').attr('coords');
And
Code:
coords = $('this').coords();
I can not seem to get the value back, just an undefined return. What I want to do is to find the point on the image map and then centre that point with in the viewport for the image (large image, small viewport).

<a href="##" onclick="window.open('/Calendar/new.cfm','New Appointment','toolbar=0,height=800,width=850')" style="text-decoration:none; ">New</a>
I try to run this and I get an error saying invalid argument. I thought at first that maybe because the page is in a frame that it throws the error but I ran it outside of the frame and it still doesn't work. It works in FireFox though. Unfortunately I need it to work in IE 8.

Is there a parameter or method for positioning thickbox? The center of the page is usually ideal, but not always. I assumed something like this would work, but it doesn't seem to have any affect.

for example if you have a <span id = "test" onMouseOver ="myfunc(x)>
eg you have lots of differant span id's but you want then all to have a certain background-color with each individual on mouseover event without having to write separate code for each span id
eg <span id=" test2"onmouseover ="this.style.background ='red'>....

I've come across functions like the one below in many scripts.I just don't understand the purpose of the parameter! Nothing is being passed into the function when it's being called- so what's the point of specifying an argument???
function doSomething(e) {
if (!e) var e = window.event;
alert(e.type);[code].....

I'm trying to reuse a script I have but, I'm not able to due to the fact I can't use some variables in a function.
I would like to know why I am not able to use passed variables in javascript.
For example: I call a function submit_data( 'newDomainForm', 'add_domain', 'list_div' ), in the function itself I would like to use the form name (first variable passed) as document.form.domain_name.value.
Later on I would like to use the div id: list_div in document.getElementById( div_id ).innerHTML. This doesn't work.
I have to put the name of the actual div like this: document.getElementById( 'result' ).innerHTML
And to get the value of a form element I have to put the actual name like this:
