Find Text Between Two Strings And Prepend/append
Nov 9, 2010
I am attempting to manipulate a long text string with javascript. This text string may have one or more occurrences of a string which starts with a particular string and ends with another string. So, for example, text that starts with 'nam' and ends with 'sit' in this example:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit nam aliquam leo sit amet nibh tincidunt ultricies. Nullam nam feugiat velit sit amet dui scelerisque id ornare nulla ultricies.
I want to prepend another string before the nam and append another after the sitt, to give me:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit before nam aliquam leo sit after amet nibh tincidunt ultricies. Nullam before nam feugiat velit sit after amet dui scelerisque id ornare nulla ultricies.
I think the way to do this is via RegExp, but I'm insufficiently familiar with this to know how to write the expression.

I use .append() and .prepend() to automatically add content to a existing html tag with id. In IE the function is working fine but when i viewed it using view source i can't see the content. When i tried it with Chrome, i can immediately see the content. Is there something i missed out?

I've been using jquery for some time, and was very excited about the improvements in jquery 1.4 I have found however, that in one particular instance, jquery 1.4 seems to be performing slower than 1.3x, to the point that it has forced me to downgrade the script. I use jquery heavily throughout my web application; in this particular case, when a very large block of html consisting of a bunch of <tr>s is .appended (or .htmled, tried both) to a table, jquery 1.4 in firefox will give the "unresponsive script" error, prompting the user to stop, debug, or continue. The same block of html works perfectly fine in jquery 1.32 (and quite fast too). I haven't had time to do too much experimentation, as this is in a production environment, and thus downgrading was necessary as it was breaking the page, but I would love to figure out why this is happening so that I may optimize the code sometime in the near future. Have the improvements to .html resulted in code that causes higher cpu usage, or that would have a much higher overhead on longer strings? I've commented much of the code around the call, so that it pretty much consists of an ajax call that returns a chunk of html, which is inserted to a table (that I first empty). I thought it might be something with event bindings that occur after the insertion, but removal of these event bindings does not resolve the unresponsive script error. It seems the .html or .append is doing it. Note that this code, as is, works perfectly in jquery 1.3, even with event bindings, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? My next step was going to be to try returning the entire table including the <table> tags, and doing a replace instead of an append, but if anyone has other suggestions to try, please let me know. Also, just as an aside, what do you guys consider the 'best practice' to be when returning dynamic data for a table (server side sorting, filtering etc from a db) ? Do you return just the data in json, and repeatedly clone a row element, replacing the values in each row (thus decreasing the size of the ajax call, but increasing the client side processing), or return the full html, and replace the innerHTML of the table?

What I want to do specifically is add a CSS class to strings that start with an @ symbol. I can't seem to find any examples online and I haven't had enough experience with jquery to figure this out on my own.
I want it to highlight either the first word only, or just the line that the @ symbol is found on.

When I enter a text string for a document.write method it works AS LONG AS the text is all on one line. This is true in assigning a text string to a variable also. I like to write my documents so that they are readable. How do I get the text to be on multiple lines without getting the "unterminated string" error?

Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?

My work website, [URL] has an activity search on the top-right side of the page that searches congregation details. It mostly works fine, except that if you search "greenwood" instead of getting shown Greenwood Uniting Church, it tells you that there are no congregations within 15km of Greenwood. Yet if you search "Kingsley" (Next suburb over, less than 15km from Greenwood) it finds the Greenwood Uniting Church.
We worked out that the issue is that there is more than one Greenwood in Australia, so it needs to be clarified that the state of WA needs to be added to the search. The easiest way (I feel) is to check whether WA has been included in the text, and if not, to add it to the search text. This is the code I've got so far (written by a friend, who wasn't certain whether it would work or not):
PHP Code:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
// Check that there's state appended to the search
echo 'function checkState(){';
echo 'var searchField=document.getElementById("suburb-address");';
echo 'if (searchField.value.lastindexOf("WA")==0) { ';
echo 'searchField.value+=", WA";';
echo '}';
echo '}';
echo '</script>';
(It's included in a Wordpress Plugin, hence the echo tags)and the form itself:
PHP Code:
echo '<form method="post" action="http://'.$current_site->domain . $current_site->path.'home/activity-search" onSubmit="javascript:checkState();return true;">';
echo '<label>Suburb:</label><input type="text" name="address" id="suburb-address" title="Enter Suburb & State" />';
echo '<select name="categories[]" >';
echo '<option value ="">All Activities</option>';
$categories_list = split('[
]', get_setting('categories', $db));
foreach ($categories_list AS $cat){
$cat = trim($cat);
echo '<option>'.$cat.'</option>';
} echo '</select>';
echo '<label>Country:</label>';
echo '<select name="country" id="country">';
echo'<option>au</option>';
echo '</select>';
echo '<label>Radius:</label>';
echo '<select name="radius" id="radius">';
echo'<option>15</option>';
echo '</select>';
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" class="btn" />';
echo '</form>';
I'm wondering whether the if statement is valid, but I'm not knowledgeable in Javascript, so I don't know where to begin.

document.write will flush current document content. I've found I can use DOM to append some element to the document, but I think append html text directly is better. Is it possible to append html text to current document?

I have multiple poems [3 in this trial] (held as external .txt files containing <br> line breaks) that i wish to display at random on each site visit. I don't know how to load them into a specific 'div' area or (if necessary) assign them to a variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
var whichpoem=1+(Math.round(Math.random()*(2)));
var group='/poem'+whichpoem+'.txt';
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open('GET', group);
client.send();
$.get(group, function(data){
$("body").append(data);
});

the script at the bottom appends a text area with info onclick [URL] I wanted to know if it's possible to have a function (possible within the existing one?) that replaces text as well.
Something like this format would be perfect for what I'm tring to do:
<a href="#" onclick = "check('Replace this text', 'With this in the textarea')">Click Me to replace</a><br/>
Original Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#menu ul ul li').prepend('~Â ');
});
This chunk of code is in a .js file that is link to every pages of the site I'm working on (called via an include). I linked another .js file to all the pages of a new section I'm developping. Is there a way to override or cancel the .prepend with my section specific .js file??

What I would like to do is create header and footer information for my
webpages which are created by calling from a referenced .js page . . . for
example in Header.js:
<script language="JavaScript">
function CreateHeader
{
document.writeln("<table>")
document.writeln("<tr>")
document.writeln("<td>")
document.writeln("Stuff")
document.writeln("</td>")
document.writeln("</tr>")
document.writeln("</table>")
}
</script>
in Index.htm:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
onLoad="CreateHeader()"
</script>
</body>
Which would give me in this case a Stuff in a one celled table.

I am trying to find a way to add an extra piece of hidden text onto the end of the text a user enters into the form field so that when the form is sent the extra text will automatically be added to the end before sending.

I'm trying to retro-fit google ad-manager to an existing site. Currently, we have a div on every page and then have a header file which randomly selects an add and uses jquery.prepend to put the ad in that div. With google, we now have js code we need to use. How can we use prepend to add the js code and have it run? is that possible?

I've knocked together a simple chatroom app that gets new messages via an ajax call and prepends it to the list of messages. It does this by looking for the first hidden div with ID comment_counter, which contains the ID of the most recent message in the list that the client already has. The ajax call then makes a request to another page that returns a string of HTML with just the messages with an ID greater than the most recent one. That gets prepended to the current list of messages, the interval repeats, and so on.
The function looks like this:
setInterval(function()
{
var messageID = $("#comment_counter").first().html();
$.get("page.php", { m: messageID, b: <?=($post_id)?>, n: 'true' },

I've been learning javascript for about a week and I'm really struggling right now. This is a homework assignment to help in learning loops and arrays.
What I want to happen is when a form button is hit it will replace the array from the one previous instead of just adding to it. Hopefully that makes sense. What do I need to do? here's my code....

I have a div that contains simple text data with line breaks. I want to append a mailto link to the email address but so far I have not been able to select the email.
The container looks something like this:
My first intention was to use a filter like:
But I found out that I couldn't apply it since the container had no children. So I used a function first to wrap the elements into span tags and then applied 'find':
