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.
View 3 RepliesI have a for loop: Code: for( var i = 0; i < aInput.length; i++ ) I want to use this i variable to concatonate it as a string to find an input box
Code:
var j = i;
var qualname = "discountqualifier" + j;
qualname.toString();
if ( inputName == ( qualname ) )
{
Assuming I have a input box named discountqualifier0, discountqualifier1, discountqualifier2 etc...
how to approach this but I have a date input that uses a jQuery pop-up for a calendar, and enters the date in a format d MMM yy (1 Jan 11).
Not everyone wants to be clicking and choosing the date from the calendar but to be entering it just as a number such as 0101, 010111 or 01012011 which can be faster. This would then need to be converted to the d MMM yy format as per the jQuery pop-up when they exit the input box.
So really only if it's a number format it needs to look at the number of digits... and does the conversion.
Has anyone done something like this before? Or is there a link to how I could go about achieving 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:
Is there a javascript method or whatever to convert a string to one
that is valid for http transmission?
One that converts characters like " " to %20 || < to <: etc
I am after an encompassing javascript line like:-
msg = msg.replace( whatever, http_equivalent );
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.
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).
insertO = document.getElementById("output_table");
oTR = document.createElement('tr');
oTD = document.createElement('td');
oText = document.createTextNode(Text);
oTD.appendChild(oText);
oTR.appendChild(oTD);
insertO.tBodies[0].appendChild(oTR);
The Text var would contain something like "<font color="red">this
<b>is</b> html</font>".
This way the output isn't parsed, i.e., it shows the tags.
Does anyone have an idea on how to overcome this?
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.

//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.
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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);

When I used toFixed() method on a number, I thought that this method round a number to a specified approximation, but I got a surprising result, the number became string! 15.23689.toFixed(2) ==> "15.24". So does it convert the number into string?

How to convert Number to String in Javascript.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNow I need to convert a number(decimal) into a hex.string. I want to pass my blurit() two colors and have it start at color one and step its way to color two based on a determined step. I need to convert the new color to a hex string to be used to control the color of text. This is a rough example of what I am doing:
function blurit(color1, color2) {
colorstep= (color2-color1) /10; clr=color;
for (lp=0; lp<10; lp++) {
test.innerHTML+= '<font color="#' +dex(clr) +'">'
clr+= colorstep;
}}
I have a string, an example below, I want to extract the number from it.

I'm trying to write code to swap images in a list. It's going to be a star rating control that highlights stars as you hover over a star. each image in the list has an onmouseover="highlight(this)" function and a unique id of 1 - 10.
Code:
function highlight(star) {
var num = Number(star.id);
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
[Code].....
I'm trying to convert the number 'i' used by the for loop to a string so it can be used by the getElementById() method to select the stars to be highlighted. But my intellisense is telling me there is a problem with that line. I tried
var id = String(i+1);
but this didn't work either.

I have a string:
Code:
var str = "6, 14, 2, 23, 121, 137, 342, 453, 543, 4, 762"
Var num = 2;
I want to check if num exists in str.
Is there any javascript function to do this?
How can I check if a number exists by itself in this string by using
the RegExp object?
var mystring = "11,111,01,011";
var match = "1";
var re = new RegExp( match );
var isFound = re.test( mystring ) );
Running this code returns 'true' which is not what I want since number
one doesn't exist by itself. I need to use the "match" variable since
it will change depending on user input.
I can only get it to work without variables in the expression. E.g.
var re = new RegExp( /1/ );
Javascript variables are loosely typed: the conversion between a
string and a number happens automatically. Since plus (+) is also
used as in string concatenation, `` Ƈ' + 1 '' is equal to `` ཇ' '': the
String deciding what + does. To overcome this, first convert the
string to a number. For example:
if I have an array where the number are write in string format, how can I recognize when a string is in realty a number? example if I have this:
"50"
"house"
"light"
"100blue"
"yellow20"
"-100"
"20,5"
how can with a cicle to extract only:
50
-100
20,5
?
