Is there any was to prevent ampersand from splitting up the passed data? For example if my data looks like: "This is some text&blah blah" If I pass it as data it will get split up at "&": This is some text blah blah
View 5 RepliesI'm using ajax to store values from a form into MySQL. The form contains a text field named "title" and the method I'm using to fetch and pass on the data to the backend is shown below:
_data = "title=" + $( '#title' ).val();
$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "POST",
url: "backend.php",
dataType: "json",
data: _data,
success: function( json ) { .... }
}});
The method works fine for normal text, say "This is a sample text". However, if an ampersand is used in the title text (example: "This & That"), the post value is being truncated at the ampersand. In effect, the & in it is causing the string to be split up into two segments and the
part after the & is being treated as a variable,
i.e. instead of passing
title = This & That
What is being passed is,
title = This
That =

I know this is probably super easy....but how does one extract var_1 & var_2 out of this?
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[var_1][var_2]" />

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some forms whose ID's are dynamically created via PHP by including a variable called "invno" as shown here:
<form name="formEditInvoice<?php echo $invno ?>" id="formEditInvoice<?php echo $invno ?>" method="post" action="javascript: SubmitEditedInvoice(<?php echo $invno ?>);" onsubmit="javascript: return ValidateForm(this);">
As you can see in the "action" attribute, I'm calling this function:
function SubmitEditedInvoice(invno) {
$.post('output.php?mode=6&invno=' + invno, $('#formEditInvoice' + invno).serialize(),
function(output){[code]....
The problem I'm having is that no data is passed to the PHP back end. I have verified that the variable invno is correctly passed to the javascript function, and have tested my .serialize() by using a hard-coded form ID, but I still get no data passed through.
Here is my server side code:
Here is my javascript:
When i call alert(data), it says it is "undefined". i am new to jQuery, but this appears to mean that no data is being passed to the callback function even though i know the $.post() executed properly (the server side code is executing, and the other alert() tells me that it had a successful result and the callback is being made.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that users have the ability to manipulate querystrings to the point of being able to access data to which they should not have access to. The user logs in with their details and is redirected to their own data. The URL in the status bar is displayed without the &id=xxxx but in the source the &id=xxxx is present as a HREF. If the user adds &id=xxxx (Where x is any integer) they can access the data of other users. how to prevent this? To my mind, the best course of action would be to include id=xxxx in the session data and not to have it as a querystring but I would not know how to approach this.

I have a simple PHP form and to prevent double data submission, once the user has clicked 'submit', I want to disable the submit button using JavaScript. It was recommended in another thread that one could accomplish this using jQuery and the following code:
Code JavaScript:
$('input[type="submit"]').click( function() { $(this).attr('disabled','disabled'); } );
However, I also read that some browsers don't like having the submit button disabled, and that a more "elegant" way to do things would be:

I'm trying to open an default email client (outlook) with 200+ emails by the javascript.When the list consists of a few emails it works fine, when the list is large, I am getting "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error.

I'm writing this web app.For each view, when required, I'll have one or more script files named after the view. Some functions are shared across the site. So I extracted and put them into separate .js files. Some views may have sub-views (such as the login box).
And I ended up with 10 <script> tags per page (includes 3 jquery must-haves). Although in some pages I can lower it to 6, I still think this is a pretty big number, as lots of extra HTTP transaction is required when loading the page.
I put the <script> tags at the end of the page, before closing <body>. Most scripts didn't use $(document).ready().
So is it bad to have 10 <script> tags on each page? Is there a magic number I should never surpass? Is it a good idea to put lots of (unrelated) functions into a single .js?
And is it bad to have scripts executing at the end of the page rather than $(document).ready ?
I need to open a new window(child) once the user clicks on the KPI(parent window) field on a Web page. I pass some parameters in the string. Problem is the KPI field can have the "&" ampersand character in it and the string thinks it is another parameter being sent. how I can get around this?

Pretty simple, I am sure. I have a small JS script, which is
function OpenSomething(input)
{
win3=window.open("some_file.php?info=" +
input,"mywin","width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");
return false;
}
The problem is that "input" comes from a text box, and can contain
ampersand.
All I need is to replace ampersand with %26, and do the same in PHP
(which I know how to do). But how do I do that in JS?
When using document.referrer to get the referring URL it only sees up to the ampersand
i.e. www.something.com/script?name=value&
Is there any way to get the rest of the URL?
I have a function that takes the input from a text area, searches through the text, and should replace &, ", <, or > with &, <, etc. As the code is now, it will replace other characters, but runs into an infinite loop when dealing with ampersands.I'm thinking it's finding the ampersands from other things it has already replaced and trying to replace them over and over.how to improve this and break out of the loop?
Code:
<script language="javascript">
function replace(){[code].....
Here's a link to try it out, but the loop is infinite if you search for an & and may crash your browser.
I have no experience with Javascript at all, and this is probably tricky without the full code, but I'll give it a try anyways:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to split it off into a script area, like my CSS has been.
I have:
Is something like this valid:
I need to take the text in a textarea, split it into an array, and have the items in the array be added to a dropdown menu. When I try to split the value of the textarea (which, by the way, contains comma-delimited text) into an array, the array invariably ends up with only one item in it, and that item contains the entire contents of the textarea all jammed together with the commas removed.
The offending code:
Code:
In my test page, the text area (DownListTextBox) contains "yes,no" and when the alert fires it shows that the array has a length of 1. The Option added to the dropdown list has a text of "yesno". So, what did I do wrong?
I'm just fooling around trying to make a simple ChatterBot. And I'm using IE to make a simple database of Answers and Sentences. Problem is it's acting odd when it's spliting into an array. In Answer.txt I have "Hello, *UserName*." (Which I will use the replace() to change that later.) And in Sentence.txt I have.... I always use "Hello." as the message. It's suppose to compare the message with the sentences... Both lowercased and symbols removed. But it doesn't seem to work just right when coverting the Text file to array.

I am making a form using HTML and java where you enter a number and it uses an equation then spits out another number. My problem is I want to split the number you put into the form and add it up. Example You enter"457829"Press "convert"And the first step I want it to do is"4+5+7+8+2+9=sumA"Then"sumA/8"So far I can only do the sumA/8 if I manually add up the numbers then place the sum in the form, here's the code:
Code:
{
var a = parsefloat(form.NumA.value, 10);
