JavaScript As A General Purpose Programming Language?

Jul 20, 2005

I must admit that the more I use and learn JavaScript, the more
convinced I am that it is one of the most expressive languages I know.

Without ways to access file i/o or databases though, can JavaScript be
considered as a serious general purpose language?

Radio Button Validation - General Function ?

Sep 22, 2011

I'm getting into javascript coding and i'm stumped with some problem about radio buttons. What I would like is to have a general function where I can pass in any group of radio buttons and have it return the textual value of the radio button selected.

First, here is my code so far.

Now here's a sample form:

My question is, when i run this function and pass it in the group of radio buttons by means of the onclick event handler, firefox 3.6.22 reports in the error console on line 22 that "options[index] is undefined". It seems that if i use the variable "index" more than one time it reports this error but if I take out the assignment to variable "choice" that it works just fine.

I rewrote the function using a separate variable and this time it works perfectly:

Notice the indexing variables in the "if" statement and the assignment to "choice" are different.

General - Can't Preserve Input Field After Refresh

Apr 5, 2010

On load, if a select box as the option X selected, display a specific input field.This works, because, after the validation, I go back to the previous page, and the input field is there.However, if someone selects the option X of the selectbox, the input field appears, BUT, if a refresh is made, we lost that input field.I understand this is a normal behavior since, we are on a client-side language, hence it should forget the previous state, but, what is the common workaround for dealing with this, in order to "preserve" the input field after refresh?

Cross-browser Programming

Jul 20, 2005

In some pages of my website I use a code like the following:

for (var n = 0; n < getTagsArray("SPAN").length; n++){

//SPAN is just an example. I also use other tags
tag = getTagsArray("SPAN")[n];

//make something with tag...
}


function getTagsArray(Tag){

if(document.all){ //Internet Explorer
return document.all.tags(Tag);
}
else if (document.layers){ //Netscape
eval("return document.tags." + Tag);
}}

I want to put all browser-specific code inside the getTagsArray
function. So far, I've programmed only for Internet Explorer (my
browser), but now I want to make my website visible to all browsers.
I'm not sure about the getTagsArray function. Is it right or is there
a better way to do the same thing? And how can I extend that function
to make it work in other browsers?

Finally, where can I find some information about cross-browser
programming? I have the javascript reference for Internet Explorer and
Netscape, but I know nothing about other browsers.

JQuery :: Continuation-style Programming / Are There Constraints On Fx Callbacks

Feb 18, 2011

The documentation on e.g. the fadeIn() method does not specify any constraints on the callback argument. Does that mean that 'anything will work'? Specifically, is recursion allowed?I want to know whether jQuery design has deliberately taken this into account. Yes, I can read the source code. No I don't plan to do so (for now), since I consider it an essential gap in the documentation.[code]

Object Oriented Programming - Make A Round Corners Script

Feb 15, 2012

I am trying to make a round corners script in object oriented programming method. This is purely for learning purposes.

The script is no where near complete but I am already having problems with it.

I am trying out the techniques described in 'David Flanagan ' text book 'JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition'

This code is called from html page which once working will place a round container around element

The selector parameter in Custom_rounded_container function is defined because only the else part of the if statement in Custom_rounded_container is executing. I put this in because few people at other forums thought the problem was because of the selector parameter being undefined.
