Eval() Not Executing Code ?
Nov 9, 2011I set up a variable that should replace HTML code when run but it doesn't seem to be doing that...
Here it is:
Any idea why? (My console isn't showing any issues)

Until now I have used the javascript function eval(), wrapped it in a try / catch block and showen him the error message if the javascript code was flawed.But this comes with the problem that if there is no error the script will be executed.So what I´d like to is use the jquery function globalEval(), wrap it in a try / catch block and display the error message if the script does not run sucessfully as I have done before,BUT:if the script would execute without an error I´d like to use some kind of preventDefault so that the script would not be executed at all and instead I could show the user a message that the script passed validation.I know that the way I propose is not possible as the script has to be executed somehow so that possible errors are generated...does anyone have an idea how to do what i propose ?

I will have my server code in a servlet, callable with a URL, but how
do I invoke the servlet from Javascript without reloading the page and

For 2 day ago, i have re-read and re-write my code in first i have very very broken code execution in web in second :, i re write the code and in previewer browser ( i use mozilla 3.6.8) its work off line, but when i have implanting in web page, its not work, in 3rd, with mr.airshow support i have rewrite and it work on web page (thanks mr. airshow) but still in my mind, again :
Question :
1. Why the 2nd code can not execution in web page ?
2. How the code must be to load in web page ? Any rules ?
Here are the code :
I am having some difficulties getting some inline js code to run when
retrieved via AJAX by XMLHTTPRequest.
Basically I am running a php script every 15 secs or so that does a query of
a mysql database, checks to see if any new chat requests have been sent to
the user, and if so, it is simply returning them via a "echo" statement, and
the info is placed into a DIV in my sidebar.
Now when I add something in like:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert('you have a chat request');
</script>
it runs if i go ahed and run the script by itself, i get the chat requests
and the alert to popup. When the script is called via AJAX and loaded into
the div, I get the message from the mysql query about chat info, but no
javascript alert.
Am i just missing something stupid here? Like I said, it works when I run
the script by itself, just not when called via XMLHTTPRequest.
I have an asp.net web application which includes jquery plugins and runs very well locally( ie using ASP.NET development server) but when deployed or published to IIS 5.0 the same is not working. Is there anything to do with jQuery not supporting IIS5.0 and ASP.NET 2.0.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've run into a roadblock I just can't seem to get past. I'm developing a website for work (internal) and I have a lot of javascript calculations going on when someone enters data. What I want to do is to have a div apear when it begins calculating and goes away when it ends. I'm using:
// CSS code
div.loading-invisible{ display: none; }
div.loading-visible { display: block; ... various formatting here ... }
// Javascript
function calculate(evalForm) {
document.getElementById("loading").className = "loading-visible";
[Code]...
It works great in firefox. The div display appropriately, calculates, then disappears when it's finished. However, in IE it seems to want to calculate everything before anything is displayed. I placed alerts in the code to be able to pause it mid way and it worked. But without alerts it just hangs while everything is being calculated and the code for the loading screen just seems to cancel itself out. I attempted to put some waits in the code such as:

Two buttons - "Calculate" and "Start" do not seem to be executing the code associated with them. I cannot figure out why -- code is below...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am doing a simple function to validate text fields(you can see the code below). Now, the alert box appears only once when I refresh the page, not when I click inside or outside the username box. #username is the id of a input text field. On a sidenote, how can I pass multiple parameters to the function(not a fixed number of params)? or should I just pass an array?

I'm working on a simple slideshow made with jQuery. What I'm trying to do now, is to make it change image every X second. I know how to change image, but i'm kind of stuck trying to find out how to make it "do something" every Xth second.
Here's an example: (obviously not working..)
function slideSwitch() {
//change image...
}
setInterval(slideSwitch, 5000);
//make the function slideSwitch execute every 5th second.
Also, is there any "else if" function in jQuery? Like in for example PHP, you can use "if", "else if" and "else".. like this:
if(){
}else if(){
}else {
}
So is there any function like that? I googled it, and I found out I have to use some kind of plugin for it to work? How do I use it?
I want to add the values of several variables in one variable and then use this variable, which contains the values of variables
You can see the following example
HTML Code
Javascript Code
After executing this code I find that the variables are not displayed values
As in the following picture: [url]
What I am trying to do is have an input box where the user inputs a word(s), the a button which onclick changes the user's input data so that each line is modified to have a "<<" before the word and a ">>" after.
For example :
user types:
apple
orange
pear

given that I have a js file included which is written programatically and I
can't change it. I would like to know how to do the following using
something other than the deprecated eval().
whats in the js file
var numArrays=something;
var data0 = new Array();
data0.name="name";
data0.data="some data";
var data1 = new Array();
data1.name="another name";
data1.data="some more data";
etc ....
function getData(arrayName) {
for ( var i=0;i<numArrays:i++) {
var el=eval('data'+i);
if (arrayName = = el.name) doSomething(el.data);
}}
var fns = ['orde', 'no', 'kml', 'snf', 'td', 'ty', 'tn', ...up to 21
elms...];
var snv = new Array();
var vals = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < fns.length; j++)
vals[j] = some value;
snv[i] = new makeData(vals);
}
function makeData(vals) {
for (k = 0; k < vals.length; k++)
//the following line doesn't work
eval("this."+fns[k]+"="+vals[k]);
//neither this one
this.eval(fns[k]) = vals[k]);
}
how can i make it without writing it the long way:
this.orde = vals[0];
this.no = vals[1];
this.kml = vals[2];
and so on?
how comes the following doesnt work
fieldNotes2=eval("Message.notes["+id2+"]");
i believe it's because of the [] but i need to keep them!
I've made a funny program using eval()...it will let the person(on the page) to write javascript and have it compile(if thats the right word for it)! its quite cool, i dont know how handy it might be, but here it is none the less...
code:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function submitCode(){
var the_code = window.document.form_1.textarea_1.value;
var run_the_code=eval(the_code);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>write some code!</h1>
<form name="form_1">
<textarea name="textarea_1" rows=10 cols=40>
</textarea>
</form>
<form onSubmit="return false;">
<input type="submit" value="submit your code" onClick="submitCode();">
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
very simple stuff, but for those of you who are unfamilir with eval, its pretty cool, huh?
I'm having some weird problem with evaluating the continue statement.
Within a for loop I'm trying to evaluate a string (generated somewhere
earlier) which basically has the continue statement in it. IE6 seems to
have major problems with that as it generates an error "Can't have
'continue' outside of loop". Does anyone know why and/or have a
workaround? I haven't tried any other browser since this one is the
only one available (company policy).
I have included some code to reproduce this behaviour. The first and
second if statements of the testeval function behave as expected. The
third one however produces the mentionned error. Code:
I am trying to do the following but i get an error, is there no way i
can use eval to print have it assigned to a predeterminded variable.
eval (object_name + "_CalCalendar") = new CalendarPopup(object_name);
Cannot assign to function result.
Here is my code.
function CallDisplay()
{
nodeobj=new mynode();
x="displayId("+nodeobj+")";
eval(x);
}
function displayId(node)
{
alert(node.myid);
}
function mynode()
{
this.myid="aa";
}
In CallDisplay() I am getting the error as "Microsoft JScript
Compilation error ']' expected". Any one can suggest me how to
overcome this.
I'm running some javascript over a server side generated web page
and have multiple generated empty select statements, that I want to
populate when the page is loaded. As HTML doesn't do arrays each
select is individually named withe MySelecti where i is an incremental
from 1.
I know all my variables are correct (i, OptionsCount) and my arrays
of MyValues and MyDescription's exist for multiple enteries and if I
bring out an example of what I thought each line would eval too( say
document.MyForm.MySelect1.options[1]=new
Option('Value1','Description1') the line works fine, for the life of me
(i'm sure I'm missing something obvious) the eval line won't eval..
for(i = 1; i<=row; i++) {
for (j = 1; j <=OptionsCount; j++) {
eval="document.MyForm.MySelect"+i+".options["+j+"]=new
Option('"+MyValues[j]+"', '"+MyDescription[j]+"')";
eval(eval);
}
}
I am trying to assign an "onclick" event to a dynamically-created DOM
element (an image).
I have read countless times that "eval()" is to be avoided at all costs.
However, I cannot seem to get my new onclick to work without it.
Here's what I have so far:
myeval = 'detachFile(this);'
detachImage = getElementById('detach-jfhahhf');
detachImage.onclick = function() { eval(myeval) }
This works perfectly fine for me, but this is a web-app that will be
exposed to public users, and I obviously don't want them being able to
eval anything if i can help it.
Can that be done without the eval()?
i came up with the following, to help me test the syntax of functions while i'm writing them. i've only been using it for a day or two, but so far, it's been really handy.

In Visual Basic this is easy to do, but I'd like to do it in JavaScript (without writng my own).
I'd like to put a text box on a form so the user can type something like:
3+5*(sin(90))^2
and have the answer to the equation displayed.
I guess it would be possible to translate it into a javascrip command
x=Math.pow(3+5*(Math.sin(90)),2) and then execute the translated line using Eval(x);, but maybe there's an easier way. Any thoughts?
I have a script that will loop through all the INPUT elements of a form; if the input is a submit it will disable the submit (or enable the submit, depending upon what is passed to the function.) I hate using eval() - I avoid it whenever I can! Is there a better way to dynamically process the ".disabled = 'true'/'false';" portion?
[Code]..
this is the code I'm working on:
Code:
var tabs = new Control.Tabs('menu');
var pattern = 'tab=';
var nStr = location.href;
if(nStr.match(new RegExp (pattern,'gi'))){
var id = nStr.split(pattern);
[Code]...
It searches for the query string 'tabs=' and then splits the result to get the id of the tab. Then it uses this to set the active tab. If the url doesn't include the query string it set the tab to the first one.
The code works but it uses Eval to convert the id string (id[1]) to a variable and I was wondering if there was an alternative.
I am try'g to send window.location.href to the server script who will
generate dynamic javascript according to the referral name comg in as
param:
<script language="javascript" src="NO JAVASCRIPT CAN BE USED HERE" />
So I am see'g If I can use eval todo something what I am doing
I have tried almost everything, following is being last one ....
