Invalid Character In String Reference
Jul 23, 2005
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 am trying to use Accordion Content script v1.7 from DynamicDrive.com on some pages. I have set up a test page to show the error messages. I have changed the doctype of the page several times, including the exact one they use on the sample/instruction page on DD, but no luck. It is also throwing an error of undefined var ddaccordion, which is defined in ddaccordion.js, which is the JS file that goes with sample page , which is located in the same directory.

I am writing a Javascript to sort and write out some stuff. PHP is not an option so I need to get this script working.
The problem arises when I want to make a link to the next page. (i.e. Like the link in google for the next 10 results)
I have <a href=# onclick=FUNCTION(VALUES)> written dynamically by the script.
It is written onto the document correctly, but the problem is, when the link is clicked, some seemingly random values are passed to the function.
I also have an invalid character error that arises when I pass the "whereVARquoted" variable into my function (code 2) which disappears when the variable is removed (code 1).
My code is below:
Code 1:
<script>
Code 2:
<script>

I 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;
[Code]....
Well, finding that easily on a search would have saved me some time.

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,

I have searched the web and this forum for the answer to this but am unable to find a reasonable choice. So, this is the problem I am facing.
Code:
var str = "document.frames[0].document.frames[0]";
var str 1 = "document.frames[6]";
//Loop Starts
{
var obj1 = str + str1;
[Code]...
I know the easiest way to do this is to use eval() and it most definitely does work. The problem is that I have to use eval() inside a loop to check whether the reference is null and from what I hear, that is one of the most inefficient ways to code. I have searched for alternatives like using, var myFunc = new Function(string) and then calling myFunc(). But this does not work in my case. I cannot find any other alternative in this case. I guess one can say eval() is the only choice here but I am not too sure.

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"

I'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();
}}}}
Also, How do I format with indentations and as non wraping text the messages I send to this forum?

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?

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?
