I've written this javascript that puts lines of text into a readonly textarea, each line ends with a newline character. I have a function that checks that no duplicates exist, it does this by splitting the textarea by newlines into an array. This works as it should in Firefox, but not in IE. Code:

I am very new to jquery and I am trying to set the value of a textarea which is not in a form, into a hidden field which is in a form. In the text area, I have given it an id called refnote and ive used the text() to get the text in it. However, the problem is setting the retrieved text in a hidden form field.
$('form').submit(function(){
alert ($('#refnotes').text());
return false;
});

I have found a script that works fine for me but I'd like to make it reusable but I have an issue with that. On the script I have something like
function my_function() {
var $container = $('#panel .container');
}
and I'd like to pass the id (panel in this case) as a parameter like
in the example below:

PHP has a function called nl2br() which takes all the newlines in a
string and turns them into break tags <br>. I need to do the same in
javascript. Is this about right? I'm not sure how one is supposed to
reference invisible characters in Javascript strings. I took an example
on the web and tried to modify it to my uses.
function nl2br_js(myString) {
var regX = /
/gi ;
s = new String(myString);
s = s.replace(regX, "<br />
");
return s;
}
After looking around quite a bit using Google, I still couldn't find
out what the gi in the above example is for. What is it?

I am working on something that only needs to work in IE, and I've got
this code:
var aRows=oTable.rows;
var oCell1_1=aRows(0).insertCell();
oCell1_1.innerHTML= 'new cell'
Which inserts a row in my table and I can populate the cell with the
text using the innerHTML property. No problem.
My question is, how do I set the VALIGN of this new cell?
I have tried this..
oCell1_1.valign='top'
and that does not generate a JavaScript error but it doesn't
vertically align the text in the cell either.
Other attempts generate javascript errors.

I have some Javascript code that reads and sometimes sets the content of
a textarea. I want this to be reasonably browser and platform independent. My question is, what characters should I expect to find at the end of a line? I suspect that I need to cope with either "" or""; can someone confirm?
Setting the content is more of a challenge. I don't want to have nasty browser detection to select what to use for newlines. Is there one newline pattern that is safe for all browsers?

This textarea, however, must have a dynamic width, one that "fills the
screen width of any sized screen". Sorry but I cannot fathom how to
do this!
<textarea name="resume" cols="108" rows="29" wrap="physical><?=$resume ?></textarea>
How on earth do I do this? cols="???"
Is there either a client-side solution in HTML or Javascript, or will
I have to use a server-side solution in PHP? I'm completely stuck and
under a Monday AM deadline to come up with a solution.

I'm trying to write a script with two standard drop down boxes. One
contains days one contains the month. I want to update the options in
the days box everytime the month is changed... i.e select August, and
days are filled up to 31, select September and only 30. The part where
I am having difficulty is that after the onChange event has triggered
and I have checked what the new month is, filling the box with relevant
values is tricky. Code:

I have a content slider called "Codaslider" (ver 1.1 I believe) setup, and using CSS I have an absolute positioned image hovering above the slider at all times. The effect is what I want, where I have a static image of my company's product hovering above the content slider, and the background images slide around showing various features and such.
I would like to make it where the customer can click anywhere within the bounds of the content slider (including on top of the static image), and be able to follow the link for the image in the content slider.
For example, if the background image shows "New Features" or something similar, I want the customer to be able to click anywhere and get to the "New Features" page.
So basically, is there a way to dynamically set the URL that the static overlaid image points to, based on what page the content slider is on?
Here is the javascript that setups up the content slider:
Code javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
var theInt = null;
var $crosslink, $navthumb;
[Code].....

I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.

we probably all know the problem that select boxes under IE are always
overlap DIV layers. Afaik there are two workarounds:
1. hiding the select box
2. IFrame beneath the DIV layer
But I don't know how to do that.
We want to show a DIV layer as tooltip.
The DIV layer has no defined size (neither a width nor a height
attribute). The size depends on the text the user defined for the tooltip.
My questions:
1. How can I know when the tooltip is 'over' a select box, so I can hide it.
2. How can I define an IFrame that has the same size as the tooltip,
when I don't know the tooltip's size?

I have an onchange method for a select box that goes something like
this (the select is in a form named aForm):
function page_on_change() {
pageElement = aForm.my_page_id;
aForm.nav_page_name.value =
pages[pageElement.options[ pageElement.selectedIndex ].value];
var si = pageElement.selectedIndex;
for ( i = 0 ; i < pages.size ; i++ ) {
document.getElementById("id_" + i).style.display='none'
}
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
}
IE fails on the statement:
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
and says it doesn't support this property.
What is the workaround?

use something like this to workaround the lack of a "Select All Friends" button for Facebook groups, events and pages?
<html>
<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<frame name=inviteall src="inviteall.html">
<frame name=main src="http://www.facebook.com">
</frameset>
[Code]...
This bit isn't mine, I found it. You normally have to use this by copying it and then pasting it into the address bar when you are on the "Select Friends" screen.

I'm currently constructing a javascript "terminal" on a site I'm building so that I can test objects and functions outside of the web developer terminal in google chrome.
Given that I have active javascript defining an object called item, typing item in the chrome terminal returns Object and goes on to list the properties of item.
Moreover, I can define a function in the terminal like this: function(x) { return x }, and then function(item) will return Object and list the properties. However, if I use form data and user input in the place of the argument, the datatype becomes a string and not an object, so typing item in the form and clicking a button that performs function(document.form.text.value) returns the string item and not Object.
Is there any way to convert this primitive string to an object so that I can then iterate through properties, and so on?

If you click the link on [URL].. a form pops up. How do I set the value of the URL text field in the form to be equal to the url of the page it originated for i.e in this instance it the value would be[URL]... i believe would set the value to the current url. What I need is the value of the url the pop up originated from.

I have developed a widget. I am using the jquery core api. Im having a problem when the widget is used in a weebly site. I know weebly uses prototype and I am using the workaround:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); however there is still a clash of some sort. I think every prototype.js function is being called or something because the page is taking a long long time to load as there are many requests being made which look like this:

I was having trouble getting the object.focus() method in IE and in FF working, so came up with this workaround.
What I wanted to do was check if a textfield was numeric, if not, inform the user then select the text and set the focus back to the field.
Sound simple? object.focus() simply doesn't work in firefox or (I've been informed) IE.
Solution:
Instead of checking when the field losing focus (onblur), check when the next field receives focus (onfocus). Then call a function that gets the element index of the object, and use that index to check the element above it. Difficult to explain.
Here it is...for the textfield you want to check, put this into the next form object after it onfocus="checkNum(this)"
then put this script in the header section...
function checkNum(obj){
var idx;
//get object index
for(idx=0;idx<document.forms[0].elements.length;idx++){
if(document.forms[0].elements[idx].name==obj.name){
break;
};
};
//check for numeric
if (isNaN(document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].value)){
alert('Value must be a number!');
document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].select();
document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].focus();
};
};
But there is one problem!!! As I just found out.
If the next field is a group option, they all have the same name and so this will not work.
for those that do not know, the function isNaN is a js function that is the same as the vbscript equivalent IsNumeric.
isNaN means isNotaNumber.
Hope this helps, I know the focus() failure of JS has been the bane of many coders.
