I've written several scripts that have "while" blocks which increment a
date by one day if the date does not match one of a group of dates.
However, sometimes it apparently steps out out the while loop even
though my condition isn't met. Will work for a few loops then steps out
often.
Are there javascript "date" issues? I have also noticed different
results between Firefox and Internet Explorer.
New to javascript and still getting my head around strings...
Consider the following line of code...
var path = location.pathname;
....after execution, the variable "path" contains something like
"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/Test/fileread.htm"
How do I parse this down to "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopTest"
....or at least to "C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/Desktop/Test"
Is there a better function to retrieve the source folder containing the
current HTML document?
I need to know the path to the current folder to reference other files in
the same directory using a FileSystemObject.
I am trying to make a canvas element display an image with some text on using canvas.drawImage and canvas.fillText. Only problem is my code is generating a very odd and hard to debug error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to add an automatically updating date field to a webpage. I found the below example on the internet which works brilliantly except I'd like an ordinal date (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)
instead of a cardinal date (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4).
How could I do that with this small bit of javascript code?
<script language = "JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var monNames = new
Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
document.write("Last updated: " + now.getDate() + " " +
monNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getFullYear());
</script>
I've browsed through past usenet archives, but can't seem to come across quite the javascript I'm looking for. I'm looking for a simple javascript that will display the date as such:
May 17
So basically, just displaying the current month and the current date. But I would also like the ability to backdate by one day, two days, etc.. So the next date might look as such:
May 15
Which would be two days earlier than today's date, but in keeping with the same format.
where I can get a Date and Time Picker that will only allow to choose current dates instead of past dates written in Javascript or JQuery?

I am attempting to pass two user inputs into one variable (text, not array) to pass through my credit card company.
What I have done it two "onchange" scripts so that when the customer enters their information the script runs it does a search and replace on "name" for there name and "number" for their number. However!! If they change their name (or number) a second time the search and replace will fail as it will no longer find "name". Therefore I though some sort of RegX facilitated where I prefix their name with a hypen i.e. '-'.
Is it possible to use regX in this way in Javascript? Can anyone provide advise or a link?
Alternatively, am I making this a lot harder than it needs to be!? i.e. could I do an onSubmit instead to change it? I have tried this, however it didn't seem to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a personal problem (he he) - not for work or school. I have tried to avoid adding Javascript to the things I need to learn but now I find myself needing to use it. I have several textareas in a form. I found (on this forum) a short piece of code (function) that will clear a textarea. It works just fine as long as I hard code the textarea name. I would like to use this one function and pass to it the name or Id of the text area I want to clear.

I want a script to receive a time in the 24 hour time format HH:mm (e.g. 18:30) and remove 15 minutes from it.The problem is that if the time inputted was 00:00, then how do I get to 23:45?
I'm sure it's easy if you're in the know.I can do this with PHP, but not with JS.I just need the function / basic line of code that does this. I can work out how to call it etc. myself.
I'm trying to write some javascript code that will swap two rows in a
table, in an attempt to provide users with an easy and visual way to
manually change the order of the listed items in a table.
The sample code works as it should in IE, and switches the two rows
nicely.
In Mozilla however it fails the first time, but for some odd reason it
works fine afterwards.
Mozilla doesn't seem to be removing the duplicated node the first time,
which makes it appear as if an extra node is inserted into the table
(which is actualy the case), but on subsequent attempts, it seems to be
removing the duplicated node perfectly... Code:
I am trying to use Jquery as an XML tool to transform xml data other than the DOM.
This works very well and i can change my xml data.
Now i want back my whole xml that i just transform and this is where there is a problem !
$(xml).find('#id').html('some text').parent.parent.parent ... is not a good way
I read something about the defaultContext but it seems risky / hazardous.
Needed fonction would be $(xml).find('#id').html('some text').getRoot().html(); or something like that.
I've two different frames and I want dynamically read the value's with a for loop in a different frame by object name. See my code example:
alert(top.frames['hiddenframe'].contexthiddenform.afkorting.value);
this works.
Now I want to make the field name (afkorting) dynamically
strName = (top.frames['hiddenframe'].document.contexthiddenform.elements[i].name);
alert(top.frames['hiddenframe'].document.contexthiddenform. + strName + .value);
This construction isn't working. The variable strName gets the name of the object (i.e. afkorting) but the alert doesn't work. Has somebody an idea what I'am doing wrong?
I built an IE-only function that modifies the DOM to create a custom container with rounded corners and some shading at the top. It only gets called when the browser is IE and its version is < 9. It takes the following block:
And turns it into this:
The UI looks identical to FF, which uses the CSS3 attributes to create the rounded box. HOWEVER, in IE8, I can no longer access the embedded <input> element (which does not change). I'm trying to get the value of the <input> tag with the ID of "username" by doing this:
When I disable my DOM manipulation code so that in IE, it remains an ugly, square box, I can get the value of the <input> element with no problem. Once I manipulate the DOM, IE always returns the empty string while FF and Opera work perfectly.
I need to do multi DOM manipulation into a page without reload it (something like: when i click on a thum in another part load a photo with a specific text, if i click on this text load another photo).
I use a js like:
First page loading everything goes good.... but when i fall into MY_CODE1, i can't execute MY_CODE2 anymore.....
I need this iframe for a facebook tab, since they changed the width to 520px. The original page in the iframe is 700px wide, and I've changed a few CSS properties using the frameReady plugin. It's works just fine, but trouble starts, when i'm navigating the target site, the CSS properties I've changed goes back to the original settings.
This is my code:
<script>
$.frameReady( function() {
$("#gmap-auto1map-gmap0").css("width", "520px");
$(".views-view-grid").css("width", "520px");
[code]....
Try clicking any of the 'view on map' links, then you'll see where I'm getting at.
How could I work around this? Can I make it apply the script every time something new loads into the iframe?
What I have going on is an input box where they type in an account name. And the autocompleter works perfectly if they choose an item in the list.However, I want them to have the option of entering an account that is not in the list. And when they do this, the onblur event triggers the opening of the New Account box where they can fill out the new account information and submit the form back.Once again when a selection is made it works just fine, it's when the user creates a new account that it doesn't trigger the "getAccountInfo" function.
