View 2 RepliesI had a difficult time figuring out how to get or test the last character of a string with javascript.
I found plenty of removing the last character, but not for just checking what the last character of a string is using javascript.
// create string
var str = new String("No Periods Allowed.");
// alternatively get string from field:
// var str = document.getElementById('textbox').value;

Well, finding that easily on a search would have saved me some time.
So say if my string was..
a = "Hello";
alert(a);
How do I get it to say;
alert("ello");
So how do I take off the 'H' in this example..
The last line in this JS function should remove the final comma from the end of the given string... but for some reason, it does not.Instead of returning something like:
1,2,3,4,5
...it returns:
1,2,3,4,5,

Is there anything 'wrong' with setting the value of a drop down menu
using the following?
document.frmStep1.drpInvaddress.value = 'A1020761603!>>R2'
This string is a key in our database that I have no control over and I
want to set the value of the menu according to this value because it
is unique. I suspect that the '' or the '>' or the '!' is making
Javascript think that this is a different type of data than string.
Is there a way to 'force' Javascript to interpret this as string?
I have a form with a textarea field. I want to validate the input from
the textarea using javascript. Suppose I want to check that the user
has not entered the string:
"Hello
World!"
To do this I am using the script:
form["text"].value == "Hello
World"
But this gives an "unterminated string constant error" because the
browser converts this to:
form["text"].value == "Hello
World"
So how do I do my check?
I am trying to split out a string. E.G "Australia - VIC". I want to remove everything before the -. The line of code I am using to do this is: var state = optionText.replace(/.* - /,""); This works in IE7, but in all other browsers is only removing the - resulting in "Australia VIC" rather than the desired "VIC"

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got the following form validation script. How can I include the quote marks as
a bad character?
I tried:
var bad_email_chars="/!#$%&*+^ ()_-=|~`?;:,'"""
It didn't help.
if(form1.elements(i).name=="text_website")
{
var bad_email_chars="/!#$%&*+^ ()_-=|~`?;:,'"
var h,j
for(h=0;h<bad_email_chars.length;h++)
{
for(j=0;j<input_str.length;j++)
{
if(bad_email_chars.charAt(h)==input_str.charAt(j))
{
alert("you have atleast one bad character in you website address. You may not submit this form until you correct this.")
window.event.returnValue=false
form1.elements(i).focus();
}}}}

I am building a string inside a variable prior to printing it on screen as follows :
myclock += hours+':'+minutes; where "hours" and "minutes" are variables initialised elsewhere. How can I add a carriage return or new line character to the end of this line, so that anything else cocatenated to this variable is displayed on the next line.
I am trying to extract just a single digit character from a string.
my string is 'constructions-01_0'
I want to extract the very last character, the 0.
how do I do this?
Should I use String.match() or String.split() methods or is there another method I shoud use?
And what should the regExp be to get that last digit?
also separately I want to get the double digit and put that into another string, the 01.
How do I extract just that bit?

Let's say I have a string:
div.innerHTML = "<a onclick='foo(""+myWord+"");'></a>";
in IE only (tested version 7) if var myWord = "English" then it works
fine but if var myWord = "Modifier Chau00EEnes" then I get "Unterminated
string constant" error.
What fix would you suggest to keep div.innerHTML = "" format?
I need to insert a string into a textarea, where the cursor is when a button is clicked. I tried google for this one, but all I found was how to change the text in the textarea, and how to append something to the end, but not how to insert where the cursor is. Does anyone know how to, or have a script that does this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedLets say I wanted store a long string of text into a local storage member on a browser using javascript.
window.localStorage.setItem("key",longStringText);
Now lets assume that the text itself contains characters outside of the normal ISO-8859-1 character set (like asian or russian characters). Would the individual char values be stored as one byte or two bytes?
"hello" -> 5 * 1 bytes = 5 (normal 8859 character sets)
"hello" -> 5 * 2 bytes = 10 (unicode or an extended character set size).
Is ISO-8859-1 still stored like ASCII once was as 8 bits? Or is it 16? If I was to use a 2 byte character set then would that cut the size of my allocated local storage space by half?
I am trying to add some HTML into a <p> element by using an AJAX request that gets a txt file with my HTML in it. That code works fine but the problem I get is that I need to enter in the path to the file dynamically. I guess I could use PHP on the server for this but I am not sure how (im not too good with PHP yet, but it is installed on my server). C# would work too as I have .NET configured as well (but again I dont know it very well).[code]I would like to replace the "linkHere" with the file path attribute I am grabbing from an XML file.I am doing that like this:$(this).attr('filePath').substr(3).replace("\","/")+$ 9this).attr('label');this works fine to make the path correctly but I need a way to inject this into the HTML/txt file to replace the "linkHere".I have an <img>with an onclick event that calls a function I made to do all this.

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..
