I have a javascript program that currently takes the contents of a *.txt file and converts it to a string-type variable using a hidden iframe.
For my pruposes it would be much nicer to read a *.csv file instead, however the method I'm using creates the "open/save file" pop-up window.
All files are client-side and in the same folder on one computer; this is NOT server-side or internet-based. It is simply javascript used in an HTA file as programming code. The *.csv does not need to be edited, just read.
I need to know how to convert the text of this *.csv file into a string variable. I have heard of using "xmlHTTPRequest (AJAX)" but am not familiar with how to use this.
I am having some trouble getting an email form to work correctly. I am looking to convert some text from a text area into some basic HTML so I can insert breaks then email it.
So when the user clicks submit ... the string is taken from the textarea and converts the linebreaks into <br> tags.
The problem is not replacing the text, it is finding the line breaks I have no Idea how Code:
Well, I need some light in this simple thing I'm trying to do. I'm using the XMLHttpRequest to retrieve some data from a db via php script. The result is passed to a "results" array of strings, which contain the data from the script.
But, the data from the script, which are the content of the strings, have html tags in it. The thing is: I'm using the DOM to append the string result to a table already built in the page (using create_element and appendchild).
I have searched the web and this forum for the answer to this but am unable to find a reasonable choice. So, this is the problem I am facing.
Code: var str = "document.frames[0].document.frames[0]"; var str 1 = "document.frames[6]"; //Loop Starts { var obj1 = str + str1;

I know the easiest way to do this is to use eval() and it most definitely does work. The problem is that I have to use eval() inside a loop to check whether the reference is null and from what I hear, that is one of the most inefficient ways to code. I have searched for alternatives like using, var myFunc = new Function(string) and then calling myFunc(). But this does not work in my case. I cannot find any other alternative in this case. I guess one can say eval() is the only choice here but I am not too sure.
I have a good HTML markup parsing function which uses DOM methods to create element nodes with attributes and contained text nodes. But for some reason I am having difficulty getting the event handler attribute value (which is javascript code) converted to actual source.
[Code]...
But when I click on the button in Firefox, nothing happens. Using a Javascript debugger, the trace doesn't even enter the handler code, which effectively means the event listener has no script.
So converting the code-as-string to code-as-source using the Function constructor is not working. Or else the event handler setting function or assignment is not what it should be.
I have an Adobe pdf fill-able form field that requires a distance computation using javascript. One of the values needed in the computation is in the format of a string as feet - inches (for example: 4'-10"). I need to convert this into a number to use to complete a computation. Any code snippet or ideas on how to do this.
after i've built an element, can i convert that element to html? the current method i'm thinking is to append this element to a new <Div> and call the Div's innerHTML but it feels rather dirty. is there a better solution?
I think this is a problem converting (what is assumed to be) a string to numeric. or something like that.
rvs = s[i][j] * k; Firefox Error Console says: Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 's[0]' to object rvs is just a (temporary, holding) variable. s is a [3][6] array on numeric values. i, j and k all happen to be zero. [Code]..
Tool for converting between JSON and string back and forth? I don't want to use a framework like Prototype just for this so ideally umm, no frameworks please lol
Also on a side note, the eval function doesn't seem to be able to convert all possible JSON strings into an object for some reason. It only works for simple JSON literals.
jQuery noob here, so I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before. My situation is this: I have a string of HTML that I've extracted from my document and passed into jQuery to manipulate as such:
Code: var pageEl = document.getElementById("ElementId"); var contentToProcess = pageEl.innerHTML; // pre-process contentToProcess... var jQueryContent = $(contentToProcess);
I am trying to search over a string of text to recognize any matches.Problem is that the string of text I am search with is in a variable and I don't think its working to well when putting it into a regExp.Here is what I have.
var newMessage = /myajax.responseText/; var previous = document.getElementById("chat").innerHTML; var matchPos = previous.search(newMessage);
Say I had a bunch of elements with id names "id1", "id2". "id3" etc. Then say I had a function that adds a click handler such that when you click these elements it gets the id name with this.attributes[1].nodeValue;Then say I had a bunch of arrays with the same names as the ids var id1 = ["data", false, 45]; var id2 = ["otherdata", true, 15]; var id3 = ["otherotherdata", null, 65];. How would I set a variable "currentid" to the array with the corresponding name as the id name? I guess the underlying question is, how would I convert a string to a variable name?
I'm having trouble getting a text string into a variable:
HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <head>

I'm using the alert to confirm if I've managed to get the time ok from the html, it should when working display the static time but currently displays NaN which AFAIK means that javascript is getting something from the HTML but it's in a form that it can't work with.
I know that the HTML validates fine, the time display is output from PHP. The intention is that PHP will output the time, if javascript is available then the javascript will take the static time and turn it into a ticking clock.
I'll look into the main guts of the clock script at another time, right now I need to get the basics working. I need to do it something like this way as I don't want to have any javascript embeded in the HTML, I want to have the javascript in external files.
I am designing a feedback page for my website and have carried info through the url to the feedback page from a previous page. This url contains a name of an individual, in between two symbols = and &
The url of the feedback page looks something like this:[URL].... First, I have used a form to display the information so that the user can see who they have selected, ie. extract the first and last names from the url. (The script following the form extracts the name from the url so that it can be displayed by the form, not exactly sure why it does so in this particular order but it seems to work so far).
having trouble getting a query string/URL to append a couple of variables from a function (well, trying to get ONE working). Basically, once a user makes a selection from a form, I want the script to add the variable to the query string, which is then sent off to a PHP script. If I manually enter the 'social_housing_type' as a number in the query string, it executes properly, I just can't get it to do it from the form.
menu[i] should reference the "login" variable and then put one of the values for the login variable array in its place. So if menu is settings then the settings array would be used.
<script type="text/javascript"> function HTMLEncode( text ) { text = text.replace(/&/g, "&") ; text = text.replace(/"/g, """) ; text = text.replace(/</g, "<") ; text = text.replace(/>/g, ">") ; text = text.replace(/'/g, "'") ; return text ; } </script>
Now i want to store the content of 'text' in a php string. Is that possible?
Is it possible to access Objects like (document.form1.textfield1) with a string variable like (var obName='textfield1') and using (document.form1.obName.value)?
Ive tried it in IE but the value in the obName is not cosidered as a object name.
