How can I check if a key is defined in an associative array?
var users = new array();
users["joe"] = "Joe Blow";
users["john"] = "John Doe";
users["jane"] = "Jane Doe";
function isUser (userID)
{
if (?????)
{ alert ("This is a valid ID"); }
else
}
But what goes in place of the ????
I'm calling a function that I want to loop thru an array, check the values and disable the drop down accordingly.

I want to create an associative array dynamically pulling the index values from an array (propertyArray); Associative array is created inside create function and then returned. But after it is returned, I cant use index names to retrieve values. It returns undefined as below code shows.
Code JavaScript:
var propertyArray=["a","b","c"];
function create(){
var array=[];

I am building a customised javascript prototype to sort an associative array on the array key (in ascending order). Basically, I am separating the array keys into a separate array and then using .sort() to sort the keys and then reassembling the original associative array elements according to the sorted keys array.
The sorting works ok except that when I run the test code below, the outputed sorted associative array has an extra element at the end of the array whose key is the name of the prototype function and the value for that element is the function code itself. Obviously I am misunderstanding something about associative arrays or how javascript prototypes work.

New to javascript here. I'm trying to do something that would be very easy to do in php, but is quite hard in javascrpit due to the lack of support of associative array.

push() to add clickedElementId as a value associated to a numeric key, but then how would you remove a specific element from the array? How would you approach such a typical algo in javascript? Regards,
Is it possible to have an Object as the key for an Associative array
like in the following example....
function Obj(var1, var2)
{
this.var1 = var1;
this.var1 = var1;
}
function test() {
var sectionArray = new Array();
var obj = new Obj("c","k");
var obj2 = new Obj("3","n");
var obj3 = new Obj("v","qk");
sectionArray[obj] = "king";
sectionArray[obj2] = "queen";
sectionArray[obj3] = "joker";
alert(sectionArray[obj]);
}
This does not give any error but the alert says "joker" instead of
"king". Is there anything wrong with my code or is an Object something
that just can not be used as a key.
If it is the latter can someone please suggest another way for me to do
it? Can I use a concatenated String instead of an object? My only
problem then is how would I extract the values from the String, does
JavaScript have a tokenizer method like Java?
I am having a problem with this test html below. When I enter a correct
city I keep getting an "Object expected" error on the town field....
Something like this:
['level1key':['level2key:'value']]
That is the value itself is any object.
I have been trying to figure out how I could go from an associative array to JSON. Is there a function for this?

Your table-driven application has a MySQL table on the server side and you want a Javascript associative array on the client side to do rapid look-ups.For example: My application uses the value selected from the form’s drop-down menu to choose which other form fields to hide or show. This choice of a 'Long Form' is table-driven from product data in a MySQL table.
Convert the MySQL table to an associative array in JavaScript.I am using the jQuery library to manage the presentation and form validation on the client side and PHP and MySQL on the server side.Since a JavaScript Object is an associative array and the MySQL table is being used as a look-up table (associative array) I use the PHP function json_encode to create a JSON string - JSON is JavaScript Object Notation - on the server which is then evaluated as a JavaScript Object on the client. The two parts (server and client) of the code are listed below.All very straightforward then. So why the blog?This is what I do (here's the PHP code):
do { $key = $row['ProductKind'];
$value = ($row['LongForm'] ? True : False);
$arr[$key] = $value;
[code]...
As a newcomer to jQuery this is a good opportunity to show my appreciation to John Resig and the people that have contributed to the jQuery library ... not forgetting those who have integrated all the MySQL and JSON stuff into PHP. It's all very neat ... when you get to understand it!You could just eval(data) to turn the JSON string into a JavaScript Object (a.k.a. associative array), but JSON.parse protects your code against evaluating malicious scripts that could be embedded in the JSON string. This function is found in the json2.js downloadable until included in native browser JavaScript engines.The PHP Booleans translate automatically into JavaScript Boolean types.
[Skip this: My application has a MySQL table of product categories that tell me whether I need to present the administrator with a long form or a short form in the HTML. So, as products are added over time, I want to the administrator to choose whether a new product category can take the short form plus some default values or will require the explicit input of all product values in the long form. As the administrator assigns a category to a new product - and changes his mind half a dozen times - I don’t want to keep on going to the server to do the look-up but want to have the table in Javascript to keep the form presentation responsive. Also, the MySQL tables are on a third party’s server remote from the web server.]
I need a way to store an associative array in a cookie. Or maybe JSON encoded string. I am using jquery.
var cookie=[];
cookie["product_1"]=[];
cookie["product_1"][cookie["product_1"].length]=12;
$.cookie('uploads', $.toJSON(cookie), { path: '/', expires: 10 });
am just trying to learn javascript and my friend gave me a little assignment to try and figure out. i am having trouble figuring it outbasically i just want to display the information in my associative array, into an html table.
var NFC_east = new Array();
NFC_east[0]=["Giants", 16, 0, "Eli Manning"];
NFC_east[1]=["Cowboys", 0, 16, "Tony Romo"];

I'm trying to create a multi-dimensional associative array that has some of its data created dynamically. The code I've currently got is as follows (using JQuery to retrieve form element values):
Code JavaScript:
var data = {
label: $('#label').val(),
child_float: function() {
[code]....
.. if its values were not being created dynamically. However as you can tell that isn't what is being generated at the moment, as there's no opening/closing brace before/after the child_float's member variables. Any ideas what changes I need to make in order make the child_float behave as intended?
Lets assume the following object
Code:
var x = {
y: {
z: 10
}
} ;
Next, I need to retrieve the value '10', but the only thing I have is one string as a key For example (this doesn't work):
Code:
var str = '[y][z]' ; // or 'y.z'??
alert(x[str]) ; // should alert 10
Can this be done using a single string as input for x ?
UPDATE: a solution which comes close to what I was looking for is
Code:
var str = "x['y']['z']" ;
alert(eval(str));
I have an associative array like this:
arr[x1]=30; arr[x2]=20;arr[x3]=40;arr[x4]=10;
I want the sort function to sort keys in ascending order of the values
on the right hand side with the following result:
x4,x2,x1,x3
I'm trying to create an associative array in javascript from within the loop that sets up my html table. I can't get my head around assigning the associative key-value pair (probably not the best way of putting it). I've written the below in php. What's the equivalent in javascript? The => is the part that's baffling me.
PHP Code:
$test_array[] = array ([INDENT]'seller_id'=>$seller_details[$column]['seller_id'],
'products_id' => $item_details[$idval]['products_id'],
'shipping_price' =>$item_details[$idval]['shipping_price'])[/INDENT]
What is a cross-browser way to check if a function has been defined?
It seems that this code
if (myFn) {
myFn();
}
executes whether myFn is defined or not. When it is not, a JS error
results.

I am currently trying to check using javascript whether a php array contains a variable, and if it does then display a message.I have written the following code...
<?php
//php which sets users array to the results of the sql
$selectquery = "SELECT Username FROM User";
[code].....
It's to allow users to create thier own descriptions, and the input is displayed automatically using innerHTML. This part of the function checks if the HTML tags are allowed through, I've got this far...
allowedHTML=new Array("<br>","<b>","</b>","<i>","</i>")
HTMLcount=allowedHTML.length
function formcheck() {
lettercount=document.formname.email.value.length
HTMLcheck=""
for(i=0;i<ltrcnt;i++){
if(document.prsnlsd.email.value.charAt(i)=="<"){openat=i}
if(document.prsnlsd.email.value.charAt(i)==">"){closeat=i+1
for(j=openat;j<closeat;j++){
HTMLcheck+=(document.formname.email.value.charAt(j))}
for(k=0;k<HTMLcount;k++){
if(HTMLcheck==allowedHTML[k]) return; else alert()}}}}}
I want it to trigger if one of the "allowedHTML" isn't found by the time it's finished going through the array.
I need to verify that the email address is not a free account. I will have an array that contains a list of free email providers. ie. gmail yahoo hotmail.I want to compare this list to what the user entered. and if there email address contains one of the values from the array then return false. I am a php dev so excuse the crude code.
Code:
var freeEmail=new Array("gmail","yahoo","hotmail");
if (form.email_address.value (contain a value from freeEmail) {
alert( "Please no free email accounts." );

I am working with a checkbox array where the key is already set. So instead of being able to use name="name[]", I need to use name="name[0]" etc.. I would like a button or a checkbox to select all in the array(name).
The main reason for this is the nature of the checkbox. If a checkbox is not selected then it is completely skipped when looping through the array. To overcome this I added a hidden field of the same name which will assign a value even if the checkbox is not selected. Then the problem of using name[] arises.
The form is populated with hundreds of entries using PHP so I am looking for a way to loop through them all.
Here's a tiny snippet of HTML of how my form is set up.
I'm looking for some guidance on a part of some coding practice I'm stuck on!
I've created a shopping cart using javascript, the items save to the arrays etc and it all works fine. If the user adds the same product again to the cart the quantity is added onto the previous quantity that is already in the cart.
To check if the item is already in the cart I've ued the below code, but what it does is update the quantity for the first cart, and when it updates the quantity for the second item it updates the quantity but keeps adding the same product to the cart in seperate elements of the array as well (if that makes sense?
