Input Character Set Handling
Nov 10, 2006
I am struggling to find definitive information on how IE 5.5, 6 and 7
handle character input (I am happy with the display of text).
I have two main questions:
1. Does IE automaticall convert text input in HTML forms from the
native character set (e.g. SJIS, 8859-1 etc) to UTF-8 prior to sending
the input back to the server?
2. Does IE Javascript do the same? So if I write a Javascript function
that compares a UTF-8 string to a string that a user has inputted into
a text box, will IE convert the user's string into UTF-8 before doing
the comparison?
I think that the answer to question 1 is probably "YES", but I cannot
find any information on question 2!

I have a pretty basic set of things I want to do: Capture key press, compare against an allowed list, block keys that are not in that list, replace a space by a dash if entered. As this is happening, I have a span I wanted to be updated with the live values. The username field at [URL] is exactly what I am trying to do, though I have trouble dissecting how they did it. Here is my attempt, which is off by one keypress for some reason.

When I upgraded to jQuery 1.7.1 (from 1.5.x), I found that an exception was suddenly thrown on every keydown event on an INPUT type="text". I still get the exception when I remove my change and keyup events. Previously I bound to these elements with .live, but I have the same issue with the new .on, so I don't think this problem is even related to my bindings.
The exception is as follows (from the custom WebKit frame where my script runs):
This occurs on line 3255 of jquery-dev-1.7.1.js, which reads:
I did some poking around and found that handleObj.origType is "keydown". There is no jQuery.event.special["keydown"] defined, meaning that the first part of the expression evaluates to undefined (there is no such thing as {}.handle). The second part of the expression, handleObj.handler, evaluates to true. The entire expression therefore evaluates to true, which can't be applied as a function.

I'm not a JS expert, but is there any way to detect if there is a certain character at the ending of a sentence in a text input field?
for example, when a user puts "Hello, my name is Gary" into a certain text input with a specific ID and using the JS OnChange event, the script will add a period ( . ) if it is not detected.
or, when a period is detected at the end of the sentence ("Hello, my name is Gary."), it won't do anything.
I got this idea from reading the W3 School onchange doc, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

I'm trying to implement a OSC addon to update the options price in realtime fromww.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1385, but it seems to only work with single characters currency symbols, like $, €, £, etc. any symbol that as more than one character, like Brazil Real R$, or C€, or Svenska Kronor Skr, doesn't work and the price doesn't update, it stays R$ 0.00 whatever options you choose.I need to use this contribution with the Brazil Real symbol at the left of price like R$ 999.00.Also I can't make it work like 10.000,00. It only works like 10,000.00. But this point is not so important.I have tried everything for some days, but I don't know javascript.Here is the code:
Code:
<script language="javascript">

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'm looking for tutorials or articles considering HTML Frames and how to
handle them with Javascript.
E.g. samples how Frames can exchange information, can a Frame instruct
other Frame to update it's content etc.

We have some date fields in our HTML forms in various places. In the
accounts package we use, there is some pretty nifty date handling.
It has a standardised date format of dd/mm/yyyy and if you enter e.g.
3-12 it will switch it to 3/12/2005
Same applies for e.g. 3:12 etc
Anyone know of some javascript which will do this for our HTML form
fields? Our target format is actually dd-mon-yyyy and it would make it
really nice for users if the system could accept a variety of input
formats and then switch it to a date to our specification. Any
suggestions?

I have few textfields and dropdowns in my jsp, form is submitted on
clicking an image link.
In case there is an error for instance some text field is left empty,
then message is displayed below respective fields ( using spans, inner
html). The message is displayed onblur event of the field. So if there
was an error then message is displayed, now if the user corrects the
error and clicks the link then first the message disaapears ,which is
desired ,but he has to click again to submit the form. please suggest a
way to handle this. So that user doesn't have to click the link twice
to submit the form.I tried having onmousedown and onfocus events on
image , but then sometimes the form was submitted twice which gave
backend errors.

I have a piece of simple code which take the user inputs and depending which check box is selected directs them to a different page.
<form name="allform">
<input type="radio" name="allsearch" value="Weaksearch">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica" >Weak </font><br>
<input type="radio" name="allsearch" value="Pinsersearch">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica" >Pinser </font><br>
<input type="radio" name="allsearch" value="Brutesearch">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica">Brute note </font> <br>
<input type="radio" name="allsearch" checked
value="gogsearch">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica">Google</font> <br>
<input type=text name=allsearchtext size=10 maxlength=255>
<input type="button" onClick="locateall(this)" value="Go"
name="button">
</form>
This works but the user needs to hit the go button, if they just hit return the text field is emptied, I would like if the user hits ENTER, the search begins.
I believe I can add something similar as
if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
But I am not sure how to incorporate it in the form?

Geeting a JS error from IE 6 only in this method: handle: function( event ) { var all, handlers, namespaces, namespace, events;
[Code]...
On the last line of the code snippet above. It appears to me that IE6 doesn't like the fact that the events object is undefined. To trigger this error we are doing a simple blur binding to an input box. ex:
$(field).bind('blur', function(){onfocusout(this);}); It appears IE 6 stops executing JS after the error (imagine that). Is this an issue in jQuery core or BTW I know MS has dropped IE 6 support but we still have customers.

I have javascript calculating the total price of all the products in a shoppping cart. The prices are in the format of 10.99 or 5.50 or 10 ete.g if there are five items bought for 10.99 and 1 bought for 10, the script will multiply 10.99 by 3, then multiply 10 by one, then add the two results.
The resulting number is sometimes right, but quite often it ads an extra '000000002' or so to the amount??

a common task when writing multi-use functions, is deciphering the type of data passed to the function.
Javascript's built-in data identification methods complicate function writing, by imposing a "20 questions" style interogation to determine the actual, useful to a programmer, type.
they also slow down functions, requiring both a function execution and a comparision operation upon every type guess.
a common method is something like:
if(typeof x=='string'){ };
but this has several limitations. for example:
x=[1,2,3];
typeof x; //returns 'object'
safely catching an undefined is often done like:
if(typeof x != 'undefined' ){ };
my function making got a lot easier after writing these simple prototypes:
String.prototype.type="string";
Array.prototype.type="array";
Number.prototype.type="number";
Boolean.prototype.type="boolean";
Date.prototype.type="date";
Object.prototype.type="object";
RegExp.prototype.type="regexp";
Function.prototype.type="function"
if(!!window.XML)XML.prototype.type="xml";
String.prototype.isString=1;
Array.prototype.isArray=1;
Number.prototype.isNumber=1;
Boolean.prototype.isBoolean=1;
Date.prototype.isDate=1;
Object.prototype.isObject=1;
RegExp.prototype.isRegExp=1;
Function.prototype.isFunction=1;
if(!!window.XML)XML.prototype.isXML=1;
the result?
shorter simpler code.
examples:
// smarter object typin':
[1,2,3].type; //returns 'array'
//when expecting a string or array possibility:
y=x.isString?x:x.join();
//more-flexible event handling:
function doBold(elm){ //accepts element object or id string...
if(elm.isString){elm=document.getElementById(elm);}
elm.style.fontWeight="bold";
}//end doBold
// detect an undefined variable:
if( ! x.type){ alert('x is undefined')};
by tucking the protos in your script file, you get simpler, faster-executing code. (for a tiny bit of overhead)
if script length is of upmost concern (as in a bookmarklet), these smaller protos give you simpler typing: (without the speed benefits...)
Object.prototype.type=function(){return typeof this;};
//usage:
switch(x.type()){
case 'string': return x;
case 'date': return x.toLocaleString();
case 'array': return x.join('
');
default: return x.toString();
}//end switch;
//another one:
Object.prototype.isType=function(strType){return (!! typeof this === strType)};
//usage:
x=101;
x.isType('string'); //returns false
x.isType('number'); //returns true

I have two div elements (both dynamically created, one within the other). The parent div has an event attached to it:
contextmenuDIV.onmouseout = function () {doSomething()}
for example. However the onmouseout event will fire when you mouseover the child div as (of course) I am technically leaving the div layer (despite it being the parent).
Is there anyway to cancel this? I've read all about bubbling and all that, but it's just confusing me even more!
Anyway, at all, to allow me to have divs within another div element but only allow the event to fire for the parent!

why I should use the dom level 2 event handling over inline events like ...
Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunction()">click me</a>
I work in a team of developers and our pages are dynamically created using Java.I can at any moment change the inline JS across a site due to this so changes are easier then if the site was just static HTML.As far as reasons to use dom 2 over inline, I looking for something beyond:
it separates behavior from html
it is a best practice
it is the 'modern' way of doing it
I need facts that explain why it is a best practice or why 'modern' is better like : you can only assign one function action to the event.That was just an example which I see but is not true to me.I can either assign multiple functions to it like:
Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunctionA();myFunctionB();myFunctionC()">click me</a>
or I can call my functions from a single function call like
Code HTML4Strict: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myMultiFunctionCall()">click me</a>
and then have a function defined before the inline call like
Code JavaScript:
function myMultiFunctionCall()
{[code].....
Here the second statement overwrites the first.By the way, here is a con for using dom and to me a big one considering debugging: you can't see what event handlers are assigned to what unlike inline where it is obvious because it is in the page. see http:[url].......

I am working on this web site with some of the pages at a different domain name. It is actually one web site, but some of the pages are at a different domain name (different root, too) although the IP address is the same.
Basically, there is one main window, and a pop-up window. They need to "talk" to each other - mainly access properties to see what page they are on.
As, the web site is on two domain names, there is a security problem when the pop-up window tries to read properties in the main window, or vice versa.
Is there anyway to share information between the two? Or is it hopeless?

The following bit of javascript writes and retrieves a cookie which counts a users visits to the page. Then using swfobject it both embeds main_banner.swf and passes the cookie value "visits" to it via flashvars. The trouble is in the actionscript below; the vallue has been passed (this is certain, because the .swf shows up rather than the alternative content)- but the .swf is stuck on the first frame rather than processing the cookie and sending the user to the appropriate frame label.

How can I have a button with onclick that calls a function which returns a true/false based on the associated input, and based on the return value shows a message that it was true or false. I see how onclick can call one function, but is there a way to call two functions and use the return value of one of the functions?

I have a JSP page with several forms on it. Some of these forms are
generated dynamically, and each of them submits some information to a
database.
Handling one form is easy, as I can simply make the form post to
itself, and handle the
data using a single bean. Since I have multiple forms, I now have a
problem. Several of the forms on the page handle the same type of data
(same input names), and a 'setproperty *' call for each of the form
beans would change data in several beasn, not just the form/bean that
sent the data.
I am attempting to write a separate JSP with a single bean that
handles a form submission. However, I'm not sure how to make this page
go back to the referring page from which the data was submitted.
