Internal String Storage In JavaScript?

Dec 14, 2006

Does anyone have a reputable reference about internal string storage in
JavaScript? (for some particular implementation I mean).

Say having 1,048,576 characters long string from the geometric
progression:

function generateLargeString() {
var s = 'a'
for (var i=1; i<21; ++i) {
s = s.concat(s);
}
return s;
}

- the internal size should be 2 mebibytes and not 1 (?) if strings are
indeed stored as Unicode 16-bit. From the other hand it would be
tempting for an engine developer do not spend extra bytes on ASCII
chars...

So does anyone know of any documented engine optimizations on the
matter? Would be expected on some engine to have the string from above
twice smaller than say

function generateLargeString() {
// 1200 ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE HA
var s = String.fromCharCode(0x1200);
for (var i=1; i<21; ++i) {
s = s.concat(s);
}
return s;
}

Store A Long String Of Text Into A Local Storage Member On A Browser - Character Data Sizes In JS

Oct 16, 2009

Lets 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?

Offline Storage Without Cookies?

Jun 18, 2009

What solutions would you guys recommend for storing data on the client? Is there something better than cookies? I've heard about the flash data storage, but, in my opinion, using flash for something as basic as client-side data caching is like using a sledge hammer to kill a fly.

Proper Way To Test For Local Storage

May 13, 2011

I have some code that attempts to save a user's preference settings. It first tries to use "localStorage", and if that fails (only old versions of MSIE), then a cookie is used instead.For example, if I intentionally misspell "localStorage" by instead using "localStor" (simulating a browser that doesn't understand the object name), the code simply does not run.unfortunately, that doesn't work.

LocalStorage: Cannot Get Storage Event To Fire

Jun 7, 2011

I'm attempting to track changes to values I've stored in the localStorage object. From everything thing I've read, this is done by adding a "storage" event listener to the window object but the test file I made doesn't seem to fire the event. I was under the impression that there was pretty good support for this (although I do realize the spec is still under revision).

Code:
if(localStorage) {
// Set Item
button1 = document.createElement("input");

[Code].....

I create two buttons on the page - the first to write a value to localStorage (which works) and the second to clear all values from localStorage (also works). The problem is the event just does not want to fire for me. Even if I set the event on the window's "onstorage" property rather than use addEventListener, no event fires. I've tried in the most recent Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers.

Apr 19, 2011

What Ive done is use local storage to set a value in my web app.

Then my next task was to write said value on my page (This took me hours but finally got it done).

My next task is using Setinterval(or what ever the correct way to solve my problem) to subtract a number (lets use "1" for this example) Every 5 seconds from the local storage value.So basically After I click the button. Value is set and displayed. After another button is click. Every 5 seconds the localstorage is subtraced by 1. I think the code im looking for is similar to this

String Manipulation In Javascript?

Jul 20, 2005

New to javascript and still getting my head around strings...

Consider the following line of code...

var path = location.pathname;

....after execution, the variable "path" contains something like
"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/Test/fileread.htm"

How do I parse this down to "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopTest"
....or at least to "C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/Test"

Is there a better function to retrieve the source folder containing the
current HTML document?

I need to know the path to the current folder to reference other files in
the same directory using a FileSystemObject.

String Replace And Reg Exp In Javascript

Mar 31, 2006

I've a function like this: Code:

function submit_msg() {
if (egsd.value == 'yes') {
write_msg("<b>" + chatkeo.value + " : " + chatmsg.value + "</b><br />");
} else {
write_msg(chatkeo.value + " : " + chatmsg.value + "<br />");
}
chatmsg.value="";
}

Now I need to do some string replace in chatmsg.value, ie, I need to look for some piece of text in chatmsg.value, and in case they are present (there may be multiple occurences of the same), to replace them with something else. This is what I got by doing a google search: Code:

function replaceAll( str, from, to ) {
var idx = str.indexOf( from );

while ( idx > -1 ) {
str = str.replace( from, to );
idx = str.indexOf( from );
}
return str;}

chatmsg.value = replaceAll( chatmsg.value, "string to replace", "new string" );
And I place this second function just above the previous one. But it's not working. Any help friends?

Compare String With Numbers In Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

if (123 > 33) will return true

and

if ("123" > 33) will return true

So my question is, if the above behaviors are the same?? If string is
a number, and compare with another number, it will be the same behavior as compare 2 numbers?

In this case, it is comparing 2 strings that are numbers, so they are
string comparisons here. correct?

if ("123" > "33") will return true

In this case, "33a" is not a number, that's why when it compare with
another number, it always return false. correct?

if ("33a" > 33) will return false...

Problems Generating Javascript String Variables With Php..

Feb 14, 2005

i'm trying to create some javascript string variables using php. i'm running into a problem because some of the variables span multiple lines and this is causing a problem. here is a sample of what i'm trying to do:

var thetext1=new Array()
thetext1[0]="info for #1 goes here"
thetext1[1]="info for #2 goes here"
thetext1[2]="info for #3 goes here"

etc.... the array values are output from a mysql db using php and used for a script i have on my page.

the problem is some of my strings span multiple lines and end up making it look like:

thetext1[36]= "this is an example
of how some stuff spans
multiple lines"

Using the javascript console in firefox i see the problem is: "Error: unterminated string literal." I believe it is because the string I am trying to input is spanning multiple lines. any idea on how to fix this?

i'm using php/mysql to create these javascript variables so i have access to their functions. i tried doing this:
str_replace( "
", '', $row['text']);
to replace the newlines with nothing but they're still there.

any ideas on how to get around this?

Javascript Syntext Question With String.fontcolor

Oct 6, 2005

I have a schedule web page that is a glorified big table. This table is broken by days of the week, and into 1 hour incraments. This schedule is based on Eastern Standard time. To make this schedule easier to read for people of various time zones, I wish to highlight the day of the week heading and the hour of the day. To do this, I am going to write a perl program that is linked to off the navigation, which will acquire the server time and date and then generate the schedule html with javascript inserted into it which has a variable set by the perl program with the server date and time.

My question deals with the javascript. I beleive I need to use the String.fontcolor method so that I can change the color of the heading text to be different then all the rest of the table. But, do I define this javascript variable in the head section of the html with the string.fontcolor in the table accessing that varible? This is where I am definatly in serious gray area as to how I would define or do this. I don't think the javascript I would have to drive would be great, a if statement in the day headings. Day equal, change the font color. Else, default font color. Time of day equal(hour).

Match Entire String (regular Expression & Javascript)

Jul 23, 2005

I'm trying to perform a very simple validation of user input. I
want to verify that the user entered a six-digit string consisting
entirely of numbers. So anything from 000000 to 999999 is considered
valid. The problem that I'm having is getting the validation to work on
the entire string. In other words, 000000 is okay but 000000000000 is
also returning as a match. Here's a quick code block...I have something
along these lines....

/*********************/
<html>
<body>
<INPUT name="txtNumberField" type="text" id="txtNumberField">
<INPUT onClick="fnTestNumberField()" id=Button1 type=button value="Test
Number!" name=btnTest>
<script language=javascript>
function fnTestNumberField()
{
var sNumberValue = document.getElementById("txtNumberField").value;

if (sNumberValue.match(/A[0-9]{6}z/))
{
alert("match");
} else {
alert("no match");
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
/******************/

That is failing when I enter 123456 into the textbox. Why, though? I
know I can replace...

if (sNumberValue.match(/A[0-9]{6}z/))

....with something like...

if (sNumberValue.length == 6 && sNumberValue.match(/[0-9]{6}/))

....or I could assign a maxlength to the input box, of course. The thing
is, I really want to know WHY the regular expression isn't responding
as I'd expect. Is there a syntax error somewhere in the code?
