Finding Place In List - Script - Read Through An Array Of Words And Compare Another Word
Feb 7, 2009
What I am trying to do is build a script that will read through an array of words and compare another word to the list to find where it would be placed alphabetically; between which two words would my word go.
Here is what I have come up with so far which doesn't work with words shorter than the shortest word in my list, or words spelled like the shortest word in my list except having a few more characters, plus more various issues.
Example: My list
If I use keywords "apex," or "as", this script fails.
What can I do to fix my code...

I am coding a random name generator in javascript and at the moment I have the first names and last names in two seperate arrays. I'm adding more names into the javascript itself and it gets messy after a while. When the list is populated to hundreds of names it's gonna be tough keeping track of things.
I was wondering how to have the names listed line-by-line in two text files (first name, surname) and to call the files when the user clicks the generate name button.

I have a long paragraph and I have been asked to display words in red and green in such a way that that fist word should be red, 2nd word should be green, 3rd word should be red and 4th word should be green and so on. For example: this is just a sample.

I want to be able to check a word to see if it is plural (if a word ends with the letter s). If it does I want to remove the letter. This does not have to be a perfect system. I understand that it will also remove the letter from potentially non-plural words if they end in s. It also does not need to handle plural words of other formats. I know this requires a regexp but I'm not sure where to begin.

I use a Time Date Picker Javascript code [URL]. It works fine with a placement problem. When you click one of the last pair input fields on the page, a drop-down list will appear from the input field. In my case, the drop-down list shows on the bottom of a page instead. I can't find the code controls the location of the list.

I want to compare items based on what the user picks there will be 3 drop down menus and the drop down menus should alter the HTML table each time it is changed, giving different option values and stuff. I am wondering how to go about this I have the basic stuff setup but I am not really sure how to add to a table that all 3 options use.Here is my current code for the drop downs.
<form name="compare">
<select name="compare">
<option value="V1">Value 1</option>
[code]...
I want the user to select one of the options from above and a table to show up showing the differences between the others for example; someone selects Value 1 for compare, and Value 2 for compare 2, and Value 3 for Compare 3, they should be shown a table which has the differences between Value 1, Value 2, Value 3. So lets say Value 1 and Value 3 offers you "Help" while value 2 doesn't. it should show a table that says
Features Value 1 Value 2 Value 3
Help YES NO YES

I need some advice regarding wrote a javascript function.
The function purpose is to check the variable "selectedSeat",
for e.g if the selectedSeat value is
var selectedSeat = "A:01|A:03|A:05|B:01|B:02|B:03";
var selectedArray = selectedSeat.split("|");
because row A is not in sequence , i will display alert box to

Main purpose of function is check if the row is in the sequence.
I have been cracking my head about this , anyone have suggestion is
much appreciated.

I'm trying to compare an array to a variable and see if it has the same value then output the second part of the array:
<script language="javascript">
var photoCaptionID0 = "13006";
var photoCaptionID1 = "24018";
var photoCaptionID2 = "13002";
[Code]....
So using this example. If any of the first section in the array captionID (24001, 13001, etc) has the same value as photoCaptionID0, then print the second part of captionID (Item 1, Item 2, etc).

I am learning Javascript from this book I got, and I am trying to do one of the "challenges" in the Hangman example, and that is to add on more 8 letter words to it and have it select by random. I am assuming that it's asking me to do this with arrays, but I have no idea how to implement that on this while having it select randomly.

How would one search for more than one one simultaneously? I have this function:
var flix = ["Any items left unattended on this table" , "Hello, World"];
function Multiwords(s){
var a = flix[0].toLowerCase();
var b = s.toLowerCase();
var result = a.indexOf(b)
if (result >= 0)
[Code]...
It's pretty basic, it just searches through the first index of var flix and tells me if the parameter (s) is 'found' or 'not found'. I made it not to be case sensitive. However, how would I search for multiple words for example:
Multiwords("ANY items This") and if any combination of 'ANY' or 'items' or 'This' is found, i still get my alert message of 'Found'?

I'm trying to create an multiple upload script and the upload part is working fine, but...When a file is uploading a animated gif is shown in the list part <li></li>. If I only upload 1 at the time everything looks just fine and the animated gif is changed to the just uploaded image. Great!. But if I upload 2 or mare at the same time the problem is there. For each upload I start a list object is created. This part works fine, but when picture 1 is done uploading it is shown in the last created list object and the same is picture 2 overwriting picture 2. This is not good... How can I change this?
Code JavaScript:
var mynewLI = null;
new aUpload(uploadBtn, {[code].....

I have an array like this:
I need to compare these array items to my site div id's and make an onblur functionality that changes the input field value.
It does not change the selected input field value(this.value). And it only alerts when blurring from the input field that is first in the array(id1). If i click to the input field id="id2" it does not alarm?

This is just some functionality missing in the Array object that I'd find very useful...
Array.prototype.inArray=function(oObject){
for(var i in this){
if(this[i]===oObject){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
to use:
var oObj=new Object();
var aArray=[1,oObj,"string"];
aArray.inArray(1); // returns true
aArray.inArray(oObj); // returns true
aArray.inArray("string"); // returns true
aArray.inArray(2); // returns false

i have a form with a 'name', 'date', 'type', 'style', 'color' and 'result' field.let's say the user inputs "jones" in the name field, "8/1/2011" in the date field, "new" in the type field, and 'modern' in the style field.i want the 'result' field to take a look at the 'name' field, and if the 'name' field has a particular text, let's say (in this case) "jones", the javascript code will then place the contents of 'date', 'type' and 'style' fields, along with hardwired text like "the information you are looking for is 'date', 'type' and 'style'" into the 'result' field.

I'm setting up a web page and think jQuery will be able to sort this out for me.
I have an unordered list (5 items so far, but a few more may need to be added). On clicking on any of the items I need three things to happen on the page:
1. place a picture into a div
2. place a caption into another div
3. place a title into a third div
Clicking on a second item needs to hide these and show that item's related three bits.
So, is jQuery/javascript my best tool, how I can achieve it?

I have the following code ...
This is a small piece of code from an Information Scroller I'm using as a news ticker. I have the title of each News Article in a MySQL table. What I need help with is how to take each article's title from the database and place each one into the array above. I'd be happy to clarify if you don't understand what I'm asking.

I have a set of regular expressions that make heavy use of the | operator on sections that I do not really need to extract a match from. For example:
Code:
var regexp = /([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) (jumps( high)?|leaps|bounds) over ([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) and (grabs|snags|gets) (a|an|the) (apple|orange|pear|grapes)/
The important part for extracting from the match array after using regexp.exec() are the names (the ([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) parts), I don't care which of the other things are matched. The problem is that using the | operator seems to necessitate using the () and adding a term to the match. This makes it difficult to know which term in the array will be the names, especially after editing the middle.So I'd like to be able to use the | operator on words and phrases without adding terms to the match array.

I am currently writing a program to analyse (to a degree), the points scored in a dance contest. The program mainly works so far. However I am struggling to conclude the program end. Using an if statement, I would like to compute if a dance-off is required, looping through the combinedPointsArray and determining if 2 or more numbers hold the higest score and are equal.The aim is to provide:
Maximum number of combined points
The couples and their combined points
The couples names with the highest points
If two or more couples have equal highest combined points - output whether a dance-off is required.
This is my program so far:
