JQuery :: Square Brackets In Selectors?
Apr 9, 2011
While trying to get a selector to work with ids that include square brackets, I searched the forum and found that I needed to escape the brackets with '\'. However, while this works with my fiddle: can't get the exact same selector to work within my page in either FF or Safari. I've triple-checked the id and it is correct; I know that jQuery is working on the page because changing the selector to$('.nameinput') gives the expected results. can't change the id because I'm working within an existing application; I know I could add a class to the input and use that as the selector instead. I'd prefer not to and would just like to figure out why this isn't working.

I'm hoping that someone can help me with a question I have about javascript syntax.
I got an html page that uploads an image and some text field to a database.
What I'd like to do is modify the content of one of the textfields prior to it being submitted to the database. Specifically, I need to append the contents of one of the fields to another.
The problem that I've encountered is that the textfield name contains square brackets , ‘extra_fields[Price]'
I've identified the square brackets as being the problem by changing the textfield's name to one that doesn't contain square brackets ,extra_fieldPrice for example and the script works fine.
Unfortunately, in the real world application of this page, I can't change the textfield name.
The specific part of the html page that's giving me problems is:

Can't figure out why the pattern will match a period but not a square bracket.For example, it will match "See Jack run." but not "See [Jack] run.". Just ignores the brackets.
Code:
var title = note_title.value;
// validate periods and brackets

for the character classes [ ], if i want to match ,.[] i cannot put them into the square brackets so how to deal with that? what if the characters are . or ! or ." (<-- combined) it fails if the regexp is [.!(.")] which will treat ( as one of the element. also the book javascript: the definitive guide says that (?=p) requires that the following characters match the pattern p, but do not include those characters in the match. However, the browser failed to figure this out (IE8) i.e. "asd:ert".match(/(?=:)w/) returns null

When the return value of a function is another function like:
Code:
The normal method I've seen to invoke the returned function is:
Code:
In, JavaScript closure for dummies, in the 6th example the returned function is invoked using double brackets like:
Code:
This is working perfectly in firefox. This is the 1st time I'm seeing a function call like this.
Does this work in all browsers?

I know very little about javascript, but was wondering if something like this can be done?
Would it be possible (with mootools or jquery) to have homepage that will rotate its home page content forwards and backwards based on either triangle or square? ie, you can rotate through 3, 4, etch home pages?
Sort of like a slider, but it rotates off a center axis of the triangle or square?

getting an empty square character instead of a space.Looks ok printed by php.It seems to happen after I use rubout or delete and then type a space in my JS editor; when the edited text is displayed via ajax in a JS tooltip, I see an empty square.Hundreds of articles have this problem so I need a way to remove them. Iv'e tried various character replacements but can't seem to determine what the square character is (char code).

Writing a sortable list function. My <li> elements contain several items (headings, paragraphs etc) and I want to add a class to the headings when they've been sorted. I have this code in my sortable init:
receive: function(event, ui) {
$(ui.item).addClass('editable');
},
This adds class="editable" to my newly-sorted <li> element - cool. What I want, though, is to add this class to the <h3> within my <li>. I tried:
receive: function(event, ui) {
$(ui.item + ' h3').addClass('editable');
},
but this just gave a syntax error.

I found that certain selectors work in all browsers except IE 8 and they need to modified. This selector pattern seem to work well in all browsers, including IE 8: jQuery("input[class='class_name'][type='text']") But this identical selector works in Firefox, Safari but not in IE 8: jQuery("input.class_name:text") In IE 8 it returns a "property not found" javascript runtime error. I don't know whether that the actual issue or if it is a side effect of some memory leak.

What I'm trying to do is quite simple but as a beginner I'm getting incredibly frustrated with it. Here's my first attempt. I plan to do something a bit more fancy with the images, but I could see straight away that this wasn't the solution. Mouseover was changing the image before it had faded out and looked horrible. So, I thought I might put all the images in the same place and hide them, making them visible and bringing them to the front on mouseover of the corresponding hotspot.
