How To Avoid The Execution Of A Function At The Time Of Defining.
Mar 18, 2007
How to avoid the execution of a function at the time of defining.
Here i am giving the details.
I am creating the following div container through DOM.
<div id="content">
<a href="#" onclick="displayDiv('content')" Click</a>
</div>
The Code is:
var category_list = document.getElementById('category_list');
var dom_div = document.createElement('div');
dom_div.id = 'content'
var dom_link = document.createElement('a');
dom_link.href ='#'
dom_link.onclick = displayDiv();
val = document.createTextNode('Click');
dom_link.appendChild(val);
dom_div.appendChild(dom_link);
category_list.appendChild(dom_div);
The displayDiv Funcion
function displayDiv()
{
dv = document.getElementById('content'); //Here is the error.
}
The Problem is when the following script:
dom_link.onclick = displayDiv('content');
is executed it is calling the function displayDiv(name)
Here we have the code
document.getElementById('content');
which throws the error.
The reason is the div container is not yet created.
What I need is the function should be called only on the click event. It should not be called while I define it to the Click Event. (ie it should not be called at the time of defining)
How to achieve this.

How to know the execution time of a function? For example, which of these functions run in less time? That is, which of these functions are more weightless to run?
document.getElementById("my_image").src = "images/picture.png";
//or
document.getElementById("my_image").style.webkitTransform = "rotate(45deg)";

I would like to have two buttons on the page. When visitor clicks on first, I would like to start looping through numbers for example from 1 to 100. When loop gets to the end, I would like to start it over and stop it when user click on the next button.
My concern is if this is safe. What if user waits for 1 minute or more to click the second button which should stop the loop and pick up the number where it currenly is? Will it cause browser to warn user that the script is slowing down the browser? How can I avoid this?

We contract security services with Thawte and have become frustrated with their servers showing lag time. Our site basically runs a script to go to Thawte's site, executes code and returns a value to show protection. If their server is running very slow or down, the script line takes down our entire site because it can not complete execution. Here is the code:

Code: function initArray() {
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {[code].....
For the above piece of code, does the function 'function initArray()' just predefine the array that is written right after so that it's first array index starts at 1 instead of 0?

I currently have a situation where I have images that load when a user scrolls to the bottom of a page. I also have part of the same function call .remove() on the top 2 images if the number of currently loaded images exceeds 10. The trouble that I am having lies in the .remove() is causing the scrollbar to move down, calling the image-loading part of the function again (essentially a chain reaction of image loads and elements being removed if a user scrolls down while images are being loaded).
I was wondering if I can use setTimeout or a similar function to prevent .remove() from executing until images have been completely loaded?
$("#message").html(calcScroll);
if (calcScroll == 0 && curPageIndex + 1 < totalCount) {
$("#message").html("loading new images");
window.setTimeout(function () {

Suppose we have following javascript codes: Case 1.
var foo = function (){
var x = "hello";
var bar = function () {
alert(x);
} return bar;
} var bar_ref= foo();
document.write(bar_ref()); // it pops up "hello" and print-outs "undefined".
If we modified above code slightly, shown as follow: Case 2.
var foo = function (){
var x = "hello";
var bar = function () {
alert(x);
} return bar();
} var bar_ref= foo();
document.write(bar_ref()); // it only pops up "hello".
As you can see, Case 2 modified the return value from "return bar" to "return bar()," which won't cause the "undefined" output. To me, it looks like when the JS interpreter executes the line "bar_ref();" it triggers the execution of function "foo", besides both "return bar" and "return bar()" do the same job which is to execute function body of "bar".
The only difference is that after the execution of function bar, its function body does not exist anymore, so when the interpreter executes the line "return bar;" it follows the function identifier "bar" and ends up with "undefined". This is why the Case 1 gives us "undefined", but I am not quite clear about why the Case 2 can trace down to the function body of "bar". Do you have any ideas about such difference outputs?

1.In ZZZ.html i have a long list of text items formated like this:
<div="part1">
<span > <h3 >AAA</h3><h4>BBB</h4></span>
<span > <h3 >CCC</h3><h4>DDD</h4></span>
[code]....
In another document i made some buttons to change slideshow content by loading sections id to
<div id="cyc" class="slide"></div>
using function:
$('#cyc').load("ZZZ.html #part1");
etc...
Text loaded, but the slideshow didn`t work
2.How can i loop specific range of slides ( and make it modifiable with some "range selector" in browser) ?
3.Is it possible to trigger some event on the desired slide number ?for example:
on slide 3 - play sound
on slide 6 - display message
on slide 15 - go through slides 10-15 four times

I have a function that I'm trying to modify. It adds an element to the page. The problem is, I require that ClickGeocode() finishes executing before the rest of the code in the function completes. Currently that is not the case..
Event.add(window, 'load', function()
{
Event.add('addressSearch', 'click', function()

I have just created an 'open window' function for an animated page. It opens the current animation from the current page into a new window, and lets the user change the 'opener' animation while the new animation in the new window continues, sychronised with the opener.
As the opener contains the clock for sychronisation, I can only use the animations from that page (and I have a few pages of small animations). I can let the new animation on the new page continue with its own clock if the opener is closed, but what I would like is if a new animation is started from a new opener, then it tells the existing opened window the new page speed...
got it?????
trymy rhythm pages
follow steps.....
1; open new window
2; click on drum in new window to turn on
3; start rhythm by clicking on hands in main window
I can change between rhythms, so long as I stay on the main page. The problem is when I change the main page to go to other rhythms I loose the sychronisation.
I can go to another page(from opener) and put a new rhythm in the current new window, but I would prefer to keep the old rhythm and sychronise.

I wish to access several pictures on my page by defining them as an array. This way I can either loop through them or access them by array index.
What I am really doing is writing my own picture gallery and slide show. The reason I am doing this is so that I can have my web page look exactly the way I want. In addition, it is an excellent way to learn Javascript.

I have built a function that allows users to select a color tile and trim option for a cooking range. Here is a code snippet showing the function:
var color, trim, description;
function displayRange(selectColor, selectTrim, showDes)
{
var rangeName;
if (selectColor != '')
color = selectColor;
if (selectTrim != '')
trim = selectTrim;
rangeName = "images/cluny1400" + color;
if (trim == 'chrome')
rangeName += "_chrome";
rangeName += ".jpg";
var rangeDescription;
if (showDes != '')
description = showDes;
rangeDescription = description;
document.getElementById('rangePict').src = rangeName;
document.getElementById('rangeDes').innerHTML = rangeDescription;
}
Based on the users selections the range image in the selected color and trim is loaded into the interface. My problem is this:
The selected image is made up of three elements, based on the users selection, color and trim and the .jpg extension. This function works well.
However, I cannot work out how to use the image object to preload the images (of which there will be over 34). Normally you would assing a var to hold a new instance of the image object and then assign the src property to the image url. But how do I do that when the var rangeName is composed of three elements. I cannot use a simple var and then call that var in the function.
I have this code snippet, that illustrates my problem:
// create function to preload images
// eliminate older browsers by checking for image object support
function preload() {
if (document.images) {
cluny1400au = new Image(478, 314);
cluny1400au.src = "images/cluny1400au_fw.jpg";
cluny1400au_fw_chrome = new Image(478, 314);
cluny1400au_fw_chrome.src = "images/cluny1400au_fw_chrome.jpg";
}
}
The vars cluny1400au and cluny1400au_fw_chrome would be fine if I could use them in the function to call the images, but I don't think this will work as I believe that you have to use the same var name in the function as in the image object.
Can anyone tell me how the cluny1400au = new Image(478, 314); and cluny1400au_fw_chrome.src = "images/cluny1400au_fw_chrome.jpg"; should be constructed to work with the function.
Here is an html snippet from the page to aid clarity:
<body onLoad="preload()">
<div id="wrapper">
<p><img src="images/cluny1400_bw_chrome.jpg" name="rangePict" width="478" height="314" id="rangePict" /></p>
<p id="rangeDes" name="rangeDes">Description</p>
Thank you in advance for any help.

I would like to have an array and define which element goes to what key. Something like this:
Code:
var test = [][];
test[0][0] = "foo";
test[0][1] = "bar";
However I am wondering if its possible to write it in one statement? Something like this:
Code:
var test[0] = [
[0] => "foo",
[1] => "bar"
];
The code up doesn't work of course.

How can I dynamically specify a class value to use in a selector? For instance, I have a number, and I need to identify an element that ends with that number. In this case, there are four divs that have class values of
my_id_0
my_id_1
my_id_2
my_id_3
I have a 0 (obtained previously in the code) stored in the value tabId, so I want to get the values of the class attribute for <div id="my_id_0">. How do I create my selector? I tried
$("div# parent_element_id #my_id_" + tabId).attr("class");
but it comes back as undefined. Do I need to define it as a variable and put it in theelector that way? Or is there another way?

I'm trying to define a selector as a global variable and it keeps coming back undefined. I tried creating a namespace for it but had no luck. I would like to be able to reference the sliderRange, currentMin, currentMax globally.
SLIDER.range = $('#price-slider').slider('option','values');
SLIDER.min = SLIDER.range[0];
SLIDER.max = SLIDER.range[1];

I'm trying to code a script that will display an approximate postage price based on different combinations of variables, but the numbers I defined for each case aren't reflected in the text box. I'm using a switch statement for all the different combinations of options, which the user will choose by selecting check-boxes. (Additionally, I know that this code probably isn't a very efficient way of doing what I'm doing - how to improve it.) I've attached all the relevant parts of the code, including how I defined variables originally.
<script type="text/javascript">
function count(){
var firstclass = document.calc.firstclass.value;
var postcard = document.calc.firstclass.value;
var numpages = document.calc.numpages.value;
var nms = document.calc.nms.value;
var large = document.calc.large.value;
var numpages = parseInt(document.calc.numpages.value); .....
