I am having problems with the code below (obviously) coming up with illegal character for various characters within the field name
which is: S_Gift Finder1_0
I have tried various ways of escaping the characters but to no avail.
I am unable to change the name of the field as it it comes from an external off-the-shelf package. Code ....
I have character counter for textarea wich counting the characters.
Special character needs same place as two normal characters because of
16-bit encoding.
Counter is counting -2 when special character is added like some
language specific char.
How to count specials like 1 char?
the query datagrid is not showing the greek characters correctly from the dbase. i know it is stored correctly and the doc type is correct because the same info is visible on 2 different locations.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a search on my web site which uses jQuery to take the search terms and build up a URL based on them. For example, if someone searches for "chair" my URL will be appended with /chair/. However, if someone searches for something which is two words, for example "chair covers" I need the space in between to be replaced by a "+" sign so the URL will now be appended with /chair+covers/ I'm not sure if it is possible to string replace in jQuery?
Here is my current code:
function sendSearchInput(whichelement,hiddeninput,formid) {
hval = $("#"+hiddeninput).val();
$("#"+formid).submit(function() {
if ($("input:#"+whichelement).val() != hval) {
var searchval = $("#"+whichelement).val().toLowerCase();
$("#"+formid).attr("action","retail/search/"+searchval+"/");
return true;
}
$("input:#"+whichelement).focus();
return false;
});}
This will basically check that the form is not the default value (specified in the hidden field "hval") and then change the search term to lowercase and append the URK using "attr". I have tried a couple of methods including
var test = searchval.text().replace(' ','+');
And then trying to alert "test" to check it but the function just simply doesn't work.
I need to count characters in textarea so I wrote sth like this:
$input.keyup(function() {
var new_length = $(this).val().length;
$word_counter.text(new_length);
if(new_length >= min && new_length <= max) {

But id doesn't work when I click the right mouse button on it and choose "Paste". Counter is not updated.
I have a system that provides titles that have had certain characters stripped out. Iwant to be able to select elements in an HTML document that match the titles, even when the titles in the HTML have notbeen stripped.For example, the title "F.B.I" will have the periods stripped to become "FBI", and I want to use that tomatch <div title="F.B.I">.
So far the only way I've been able to do it is to create a new attribute, set it to a stripped version of the title (using e.g. .replace(/./g, '') and match against that. It works, but it seems rather inefficient.Is there a simple and direct way to do this with jQuery?
[URL]
Example for FirstName data input: Characters a-z,A-Z, hyphen, space are permitted. 0-1, !@#$%^&*()- etc are not permitted.
The plugin looks great but I am not able to figure-out how to limit which characters an end-user is allowed to input. Not just which characters are permitted but also which characters are not permitted.
I have a JSON source (a plain text file) that has some special chars in it and they look correct in the text file. However when I retrieve the file and use $.evalJSON against it the resultant array has things likeinstead.I'm sure I must be missing something obvious
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get some images on my page by their src attribute. Src attribute have this format :
src = [URL]
For doing that I'm using the following query :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='"+$j(this).data("target")+"']")
$j(this).data("target") contains my mapname, it works fine.
But my users can use mapname that can be contained in another map names. Example : mapblabla and pbla. When I'm searching pbla it's returning images of mapblabla and pbla. That's why I need to put the symbol equal before and the symbol & after my map name. Then the request is :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='\="+$j(this).data("target")+"\&']")
I block some characters to be inserted in my input, for example I don't want the user to insert numbers in a firstname input

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working for a company as a consultant and i'm trying to upgrade their jQuery version to the latest available (1.7.1). Previously they were able to do a selection such as $('a[name*=word<>word]') without any problems, however, after upgrading to 1.7.1 the selection is invalid even when escaping both meta characters with a double backslash ( $('a[name*=word\<\>word']) ) - I know the best solution would be to just change the selection based on something else like a class name, but this is something they are using across the whole site and we have a deadline for this.

View 1 Replies View Relatedis there a way to prevent user from adding more characters into a text input based on a validation rule(eg. you entered more than n words, you can't enter more, but you can delete or edit)? I think I'll have to programmatically delete the extra letter(s) that user just input somehow if the addition causes a violation of the rule, is this the best way?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to resize the 'font-size' of an element so it fits in it's container. What I currently have is this:
var maxWidth = 100;
var $width = $('.number span').width();
while ($width > maxWidth) {
$width.css({ 'font-size' : '-1px' });
alert("bigger");
}
I was trying to make it so while the width of the text is larger than the width of its container, 100px, the size would decrease by 1 in a loop until it's the correct size. Unfortunately, this yield's no results for me.
I am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.

I'm reading jQuery in Action for my learning and thought I could start with a simple exercise for my page: I have several divs of the class ".important_new" with headings in there which are links to the articles:
<div class="important_new">
<h1><a href="#">New York Knicks sign Patrick Ewing Jr.</a></h1>
<img class="important_new_flag" src="images/body/flags/USA.png" />
<span class="important_new_country">USA</span>
[Code]....
This results in displaying all the headings in an 8px font size except two of them (which don't have more than 40 characters either). The 40+ character headings also get reduced.
I've gone through it lots of times and changed a ton of things, but can get more than that. Can anyone see what my failing/s are?
I am trying to count the characters in a text area in a form for sending sms from web to phone. Bulk sms standard is: maximum sms pages are 7 i.e 1071 characters; page 1 contains 160 characters, page 2 contains 146 characters and the rest 5 pages contains 153 characters.
Here is a javascript function I wrote but it's not working
function countPage(){
var clPg1 = 160; //character limit for page 1
var clPg2 = 146; //character limit for page 2
var clOtherPg = 153; //character limit for other pages
