How can I convert some html entities (polish) to a character which I can use in a javascript alert?
The entities are:
ń
ę
ń
ą
ż
ś
ć
I need some help with Javascript and HTML entities. I am writing some code and I need to use quite a few HTML entities on alert boxes (messages in different languages)
Unfortunately Javascript displays the entities and not the equivalent caracther.
Using my IE v.6 browser, document.write doesn't convert HTML entities
(e.g. ', &) to the appropriate character (though NS 6.2 works
fine).
Obviously I can get round this for particular entities by writing some
code to do the conversion before using document.write - but I need a
more general solution that will catch any of the HTML entities.
A trawl with Google has found a number of people raising the question,
but no answers. Any suggestions?
I have a large set of input fields (of checkboxes and radio buttons), and aside each set, is a clear button (just looks like text you can click on) that clears any input next to each of the input fields. When no input buttons are selected, the HTML entities that depend on them are supposed to disappear, and this works on load.
My question is how does one easily incorporate that clear button so that it tells the listeners already in action to clear those entities when they click on clear, and without having to manually do it over again with the clear button, if that makes any sense.

I'm trying to write/find a regular expression for finding ampersands but not HTML entites.I have this which finds entities but can't figure out how to ignore entities and return unmatched "&"
&[^s]*;
Test string: This is sample test containing a bunch of & and entities. Do you shop at: M&S? &x#1234;
I want to HTML encode the non-entity ampersands for insertion into XML e.g.
"bunch of & and" --> "bunch of & and"
I need to figure out a pattern that can match each letter of the message, but leaves all the html entities alone.
For example, I have a input like this:
<div>
This is the content < Hello >
</div>
Just as an example to make it more clearer, If I wanted to replace the all letters of the message with the number "1" I would have this result:
<div>
1111 11 111 1111111 < 11111 >
</div>
I am using the ajax method in JQuery to return an XML response from a URL location. The method looks like the following:
$.ajax({
url: '../DSMO/lb.asmx/GetAvailableDocListAuth',
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
[Code].....
OK so if I use repsonseText responseXML or just try and traverse msg it will not work. The problem is the body of my XML response, all of the tags ('<' and '>') are getting escaped to html entities ('<' and '>') So it becomes a malformed XML document that is not readable. I even tried using the Javascript function replace to go through and replace with no luck.
Even stranger if I access the web service through the browser, the XML is just fine!
The server is Windows Server 2008 running IIS 7 and I am programming of course in HTML and newest version of JQuery.
The browser I am testing on is Firefox with FireBug.
I have run into a bit of a problem. If I want to set the html of an element via an ajax call but the content page has a peculiar apostrophe, it's sort of curved, not like a ' but a ’ (slight difference there) . When I view it in my browser it looks ok but if I try to get it via ajax all the ’ chars end up being question marks in black diamonds. How can I avoid this?
Umm and also could anyone tell me the origin of the curved type apostrophe? I feel stupid asking but I really am at a loss for what it is, I can't seem to actually make the character on my keyboard. I am thinking it could be Mac specific but that is a total guess.

I want to be able to automatically filter certain characters a user is typing in either an input field or a textara and automatically convert them to it's equivalent html entity. I've looked at .keypress, which will give me the character they typed, but I have no idea where in the box they have typed it.

I want to turn it into a JQuery version of the same so I can deal with it using JQuery, i.e. accessing it's children, setting up it's onclick event, etc. How to convert it to JQuery?
I'm receiving XML data via AJAX and the XML includes some CDATA values. The XML needs to be added to the page and then later scraped from the page and sent back as XML via AJAX.
Simple Example:
I receive -
And want to end up with:
And then send back as XML
99% of this is easy except the handling of the CDATA tag.
If I treat the XML as HTML, the CDATA tags get commented out automatically by JQuery.
So .html() returns <!--<![CDATA[Hello World]]>--> and .text() returns an null value (which is correct for a node containing only a comment).
If I treat the XML as XML, then .html() doesn't work making it impossible to insert the data (with its XML tags) into my page.
The only way around this I can see is to create a function that loops through the XML creating a HTML duplicate somehow and converting the CDATA nodes. When I want to send it back I have to reverse the process.
This seems a very long winded process when all I want to do is treat the XML as HTML except for the CDATA which needs to converted appropriately.
So two questions:
1) Am I missing some easy way to do all this using JQuery or other tools?
2) If I do need to manually convert the XML into HTML and vice versa, how do I do it?
I want to use AJAX where the response from server side would be an XML with root element has two divs one for status with values success or failure and other child is HTML which needs to replaced if first div is success.

I have a HTML form which takes some values including a password field. I have a JS function to check and alert when a user enters some particular special characters(this is bcoz only these characters are not allowed in the back end of the html form, all the other special characters are allowed). following is the code for it.
function checklen()
{
var iChars = "`<>";
for (var i = 0; i < document.ipform.password.value.length; i++) {
[Code]...
now i want a feature which does'nt allow the user to enter an uppercase letter or a special character(only these are allowed~@#$%^&*()-_+|) as the the first character of the password field. Since i am newbie to JS, It would be a great help if some one can help me to sort out this..
I would like to set the value of a hidden input field to the value of
a javascript variable.
In HTML I have successfully done this by:
<input type="hidden" name="context" value="&{exists};"/>
However I now wish to put this into an xsl file and it complains about
the { characters.
If I change them so that I have:
<input type="hidden" name="context" value="‹exists›"/>
Then I get an error along the lines of the entity lsaquo was
referenced, but not declared.
Modified with a newer version since it was first posted. Some comments may refer to older versions.
function entity(str, mode) {
str = (str) ? str : "";
mode = (mode) ? mode : "string";
var e = document.createElement("div");
e.innerHTML = str;
if (mode == "numeric") {
return "&#" + e.innerHTML.charCodeAt(0) + ";";
}
else if (mode == "utf16") {
var un = e.innerHTML.charCodeAt(0).toString(16);
while (un.length < 4) un = "0" + un;
return "u" + un;
}
else return e.innerHTML;
}
entity() has two parameters:
- entity: is a string which can be either a named entity (»), numeric entity (»), UTF-16 value (u00bb), or even the character itself (»).
- mode: is an optional value that can be 'string', 'numeric', or 'utf16'. This tells the function what to return the value as. Defaults to 'string'.
You'd use it like this:
// String mode
var div = document.createElement('div');
var text = document.createTextNode('Parent '+entity('»')+' Child');
div.appendChild(text);
// Numeric mode
var description = "The entity for » is "+entity('»', 'numeric');
// UTF-16 mode
var description = "The UTF-16 value for » is "+entity('»', 'utf16');
In my application (yes I know that it's asp) I need to automatically replace a character if it is found in the textbox Is there a way to do this. this is how it renders on the page
Here is the vb equivalent:
This code was working fine until I added "["lastname"]["email"]" to it. Why has this problem developed? Was I suppose to separate them or something?
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function validateForm() {
var x=document.forms["form"]["firstname"]["lastname"]["email"].value;
[code]....
Heres the code:
case "D": if ((Number(a1)==1) && (t.getDate()<10)) str+="0";str+=t.getDate();b
Its part of a date script. if i use
<!--
<![CDATA[
]]>
//-->
then the script doesnt work - but it is validXhtml....
I would like to create a program which converts some letters into different ones.
1) I want 2 text areas (input and output) + "convert" button
2) if I type in the input area the letters "ea" I would like it to be converted into "a", so that If I type "cambrea" and press "submit" the output text will have "cambra".
3) if I type "e " which is (e+space) I want it to be converted into " " which is "space" example: if I type the word "spine " it should be converted into "spin , note that there is a space after "spin ".
4) If I type any vowel before "o" it should render "o", example: gambuo becomes gambo.
would this be possible? I'm not very familiar with Javascript even though I can modify it.
I did try searching first but for some reason when I put this character in google search fields I never find what I want, maybe not being recognized.
here's the code
this.size=a.size||2000;

what is the || character(s)?
Does anyone know the escape character for & and # like in :
Update GDO_INFO_ER set V_COMMENTAIRE='B&A' where V_USERMODIFICATION='bilal123'
or
Update GDO_INFO_ER set V_COMMENTAIRE='B#A' where V_USERMODIFICATION='bilal123'
I would like to insert & and # literally in the table.

Here's the tag from the HTML source:
<A HREF="javascript:openPopWin('takeit.php?568&10&dr.+hobo%27s+scalpel',
325, 325, 'scrollbars')">
But when I mouse-over the link, the %27 shows in the status bar as a ' and
when I click on it, I get a JS error because of the extraneous '. The +s
are not being decoded - why is this one character, and is there a way to
prevent it?
