Declaration Order Issue

Aug 28, 2005

Say I have a code snippet like the one below:

var elm1 = document.getElementById('elm1');
var elm2 = document.getElementById('elm2');

function doStuff(e) {
// Some stuff is done here...
}

function addListeners(e) {
elm1.addEventListener('click', doStuff, false);
elm2.addEventListener('click', doStuff, false);
}

window.addEventListener('load', addListeners, false);
This code will generate an error, namely "elm1 has no properties". To many I guess this isn't very surprising, and my own take on this is that the addListeners function is run before the variables are declared. But what I fali to see is why? To me, a fair beginner with JS, everything is in its right place. What am I missing?

I would very much appretiate if someone could explain the order (when and where to declare the different parts) in which my code here should be ran. Is there something special to have in mind when using window.addEventListener('load', functionname, fasle);?

What is the difference between:

and

setupGrid = function( param ){......}

Are there any advantages to doing one over the other?

Array Declaration On FF Vs IE

Sep 13, 2007

There is something that I don't understand well, I use array for
combining strings like

items = ['hello world', ', how are you', '?', 'the end'].join('');

in FF this works well but in IE I had to add something like this

var items = new Array();
items = ['hello world', ', how are you', '?', 'the end'].join('');

My question is why is there a need for var items = new Array(): and
why items = new Array(); doesn't work? I don't want the items to be a
global variable, since it was declare inside a function I want it to
be local only.

Create CSS Declaration In JavaScript (in IE6)?

Jun 15, 2006

I know that IE6's support for CSS is well... hmmm... lets just say not very good, however I was wondering if style declarations can be added at run time, via JS?

e.g.

Object Declaration Question?

Oct 9, 2006

Below are some over simplified examples of code the create a single
instance of an object and I was hoping some one could give me the pros
and cons of each approach.

First declaration: In this case a single object is created using object
literal notation and both the get and __Private methods are availabile
for use and no closure is created.

ABC.Util.SomeObject =
{
get : function(val)
{
return this.__Private(val);
},

__Private : function(val)
{
return "testing";
}
}

Second declaration: In this case a single object is create and only the
get function is availabile for use and a closure is created.

ABC.Util.SomeObject = function()
{
var __Private : function(val)
{
return "testing";
}

return {
get : function(val)
{
return __Private(val);
}
};
}();

Use A Literal In A Function Declaration?

Jun 14, 2010

I have the following code which attaches a function to events in x number of comboboxes (x will probably always = 4, but I do not want to hard-code this). I wish to pass the value of i to the function being attached as well as the value of tempData. In other words, I want the parameters in function to be the value, not a reference variable.

In the current example, I am using the hard-coded variable ci. This I want to be replaced by a literal created when the event handler is attached (the value of the loop variable i). Also, notice that I get the filter value in the event handler (assigned to the variable ct). I would like to replace this code with the value of tempData which would also be determined when the evenet is attached (it is the same value in this case, but it keeps the onChange event from having to do this each time it runs).

var props = {
col_0: "select",
col_1: "select",

[code]....

Forms - Functions And Variable Declaration

May 28, 2009

I have been having trouble with forms and functions. On my wife's site I have some forms and some of them have radio buttons. My current radio button checker is cumbersome and it is time for something more elegant (some of you will say if it isn't broke don't fix it )

The new code is below:

Code:

Basically I want to pass into the function radio button values 1 & 2 denoted by firstChoice and secondChoice (eventually I want to also pass in the form name but 1 step at a time).

The buttons can have the value (names?) of pattern, chalkboard or kit. It is for a shopping cart (Mal's E-commerce) and this is part of the JS validation. I am using onsubmit to call the function viz.

HTML Code:

Seems ok (to me at least) but when I try to get it to work it throws up an error of

Code:

It stops at that point but undoubtably chalkboard would throw up the same error if it continued.

How would I define the variables in my function? Are they strings, integers, who cares?
Where would I define them? Global or local?

Is the problem a matter of syntax e.g. if I put ' ' or " " around them would that suffice?

Document Declaration Prevents From Working?

Jan 22, 2010

I have the javascript (which is pasted at the end of this request) on my website, but it will not work whenever I include the Document Declaration just above my <head>.

Is there something I can change in the code that will make it work?

The top part is in the head and the second part is at the end of the html code.

Here is the code:

Declare Null Parameter Within Function Declaration?

Feb 13, 2009

Take a look at this example:

Code:

function foo(var1, var2=NULL){
if(var2 != NULL){
//do something
}

[Code]....

and in this scenario, var2 would have a NULL value

My question is: Is it possible to declare a null parameter within a function declaration in javascript? (as in the example)

I know this is possible with PHP, but i am having problems with this in Javascript.

Cannot Access Global Variable Inside Object Declaration

May 9, 2011

Well, it turns out IE8 has yet another problem. My code has a global variable (to the object) inside an object declaration that cannot be accessed by a function (that is also global).

The code is like so:
Code:
function myobject(params){
//public
this.initialize = function(){...}
//private
some variables...
//problem variable
var mouse = new Object()
mouse.x = 0;
mouse.y = 0;

//code...
slidecontainer = document.createElement("div");
slidecontainer.onmousemove = function(event) {
if(boo.isIE) {
e = window.event;
mouse.x = e.x + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.y + document.body.scrollTop;
} else {
e = event;
mouse.x = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;}}

//this function is in an interval
function moveslides() {
/* this is where I have the problem

It seems that the function doesn't recognize that mouse.x, or mouse for that matter, exists. Mouse is global to the object, so why can't this function access it?
*/if(mouse.x) {
code...
}}}
The page is at [URL] and works on every browser, including finnicky opera, except for ie. The full code is availabe when you right click and view the source on the page.

Variable Declaration Inside Eval Inside With

Apr 11, 2007

consider the next code:

var obj = {};
with(obj) {
var x = 10;
}
print(x);
print(obj.x);

It prints 10 and undefined. Here, one could expect that obj.x get the
value 10. But it's not the case, because variable declarations are
placed at the start of function code (or global code), so the
previous code is equivalent with:

var obj;
var x;
obj = {};
with(obj) {
x = 10;
}
print(x);
print(obj.x);

You can clearly see now that x is placed in the outer context. But
consider the next:

var obj = {};
with(obj) {
eval("var x = 10;");
}
print(x);
print(obj.x);

I was expecting that obj.x would get the value 10 here. But no, it
gives the same output as the previous code. I tested it with
spidermonkey, kjs and ie jscript. Looking at the ECMA spec, I could
not find anything that describes that behaviour. Code:

Order Of Execution

Jul 20, 2005

It prints 0,1,...,9, but you cannot see the word "hi". It seems that it prints "hi" then executes the listnum function. But the listnum function is placed before "hi". Could you
give me some info on order of execution?

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function listnum() {
i=0
do {
document.write( i + "<br>")
i++
} while(i<10)
}</SCRIPT>

JS - Run Order In PHP Page

Jan 7, 2010

I've got a page (internal website) that performs some operations, working it's way down a list and putting a tick beside the operation it's just completed (so the user can see where it's got to so far).

Each operation takes a minute or so, and they include things like: adjusting table contents in an Oracle database, performing some Unix server commands etc...

Because of this, the Oracle and Unix parts are handled server-side by php (very easy), but the javascript parts of the page to change the egg-timer to a tick doesn't wait - it just displays ticks down the entire list immediately.

Is there some way to get javascript to wait until the preceding php has completed?
