Need A "static" Variable For Using Window.event.clientX
Oct 20, 2005
I'm trying to use the window.event.clientX value for positioning a
javascript routine, but I'm having trouble. When the javascript
routine comes up, it comes up in a certain position based on
window.event.clientX. However, the user could click on something in
the script display (say, like a menu, or a calendar, or something),
that my "refresh" (reload that same script but with different values).
Thus, the first time, it works perfectly, but thereafter, it sets the
new x,y values to the most recent window.event.clientX and
window.event.clientY positions. I want it ONLY USE the positions which
were first used.
Does this make sense? Ok, here is the code snippets:
// This is the javascript
function RollOver( Text )
{
HelpText = Text ;
HelpX = window.event.clientX;
HelpY = window.event.clientY;
ToShow = setTimeout( "DoRollOver()", 1, "JAVASCRIPT" );}
// This is the HTML
<input type="Text" name="timestamp1" value="">
<img src="myImage.gif" onmousedown="RollOver( getText() );">
The first time the image is clicked, the source comes up in the correct
place. But this new script that came up is now the current "event" so
when someone clicks on something to reload the script with a different
value, it sets the position relative to the lastest script placement,
not the original image.
For some odd reason, event.clientX and event.clientY don't work in safari in mac os x leopard. They used to, but it appears it cannot find the object "event".
[URL]
In the file windowsxp.js (don't get confused with windowsxp.jos), the movecursor() function moves the cursor div. It works, but the event.clientX issue seems to be messing the entire function up. Why is this happening? Anything in my page that is messing it up?
(notice: the url I've given will open a "launcher" webapp, and you must click on "windowsxp.jos" to load external files and see the problem) TypeError: Result of expression 'event' [undefined] is not an object.
function hit_test(evt) { if (!evt) evt = window.event; if (evt) document.getElementById("a").innerHTML = evt.clientX; } </script >
which works nicely;
I understand that the 'event' object is a globally accessible object in IE but not in Mozilla; instead in Mozilla the 'event' object is sent, by default, as the first parameter in a call to a function; is this true? ...
I need a java bookmarklet that does a real simple thing. I need to take the current URL (ie, where the user is when they click the bookmarklet) and append it to a static URL and return the text on the resulting page.For example:
The user is at http:[url]....
The user clicks the bookmarklet.
the bookmarklet takes http:[url].... and appends it to http:[url]... HERE where you see the URL HERE text.That PHP script echos a simple line of text (a shortened URL actually).Then I want that result from the outside_create.php file to be displayed in a window back to the user.Is this even possible? Basically I need to know how to append location.href to a static URL and how to get the resulting content from the static URL..
How do I pass a PHP variable into a window.onload event function? I have a URL that I need to pass to the JavaScript file that has this function in it. The JavaScript file itself is being linked from the PHP file that will pass the variable and I've seen many examples of how this is done via embedded JavaScript, but none where someone is linking to an external JavaScript file. I suppose this is probably a trivial matter to most of you, but I've never done this before and could use some guidance!
I'm trying to create a simple image gallery that has a floating image that popups up when the user clicks on a thumbnail. So far so good. Now, when I tried to align the popup image so it's near the cursor, things get a little screwy: it works fine for Internet Explorer 6 (although always appears near the top for a long page) but completely fails with Firefox (causing it to ignore the rest of the JavaScript). Can someone help explain why? The code that's causing the problem (which is used to calculate the x and y positions) is:
var posx = 0; var posy = 0; if (!e) var e = window.event; if (e.pageX || e.pageY) { nc.style.left = e.pageX * 0.6; nc.style.top = e.pageY * 0.5; } else if (e.clientX || e.clientY) { nc.style.left = (e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft) * 0.6; nc.style.top = (e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop) * 0.5; }
I'm doing some code to show an image where a user clicks on an image map. I've got code that tracks the mouse location and uses that to place the image where you click (it also stores the value in some inputs so the co-ords are sent through post).
Works perfectly fine in FF but in IE it stops tracking the mouse's location once you move over the image (so when you click it places the image at the edge).It should be tracking the client mouse at a document level so I find it bizarre it doesn't track it for this one element.
Code:
<script> if (window.Event) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
Is that possible I can assign an window object variable to an already opened window? With window.open(), we can get a window object from opened window. If a window has already opened, is there any way I can attach that window with an object variable in javascript? Because I want to communicate with that window.
I need the most efficient way of passing a variable from a parent window to a popup window.The reason i say "most efficient" is because i currently do it like this from the parent:[code]But this is inefficient because at times it randomly alerts "undefinded".Anyways, can someone tell me a more fail safe way to pass a var to a popup so that i will be able to access it 100% correctly.
I have an HTML page where I am opening a child window using window.open. the child window is something like yahoo.com. I want to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
I would like a function to be run whenever a variable is updated. I have tried binding the onchange event to it, and it doesn't work. I think I understand why, however, I would like to know if there is anything that I can bind to my variable that will fire the specified function whenever the value changes.
Is it possible to do this, or would I have to make a class for it?
Well the topic pretty much sums up the problem. I'm pretty familiar with using events to alter the value of an html tag or attribute via the DOM. I was wondering if it is possible to use an event to alter the value of a variable within. Well I wrote the script below to test that and sure enough it didn't work. So if by some chance it is possible to use events to do alter the value of a variable, how does one go about that?[code]...
I'm trying to write an application to demonstrate to a friend how to highlight text in javascript, only problem is he wants it to be on divs only.
So say for example you have a page, and you select some text in the div (this is static text, not a form or anything) and you click "highlight" is there a way to wrap style tags around that highlighted text using javascript, without refreshing the page?
I have a javascript file that contains methods and the structure to form a popout menu. Then I have another javascript file that uses those methods/structure etc. to build a specific menu with all it's links, titles, etc. To have the menu created on my html page I link to the two .js files and put window.onLoad = writeMenus();
in between script tags that creates the menu right when the user gets to the page. My problem is, since the menu is created when the window loads, it's static. So when I resize my window, the menu won't resize. In my .js files I have the positions of the menu based on screen.width/# so they aren't set values. I think my problem is with using the .onload. It loads the menu once at the beginning but doesn't know to redo it when the window resizes.
I was wondering if anyone knew if/how to assign an event to a global variable?
I tried to do it and IE 7 came back with an error saying "Member not found" My code looked similar to the following:
var globalEvevnt; function showPopup(event){ globalEvent = event; alert(globalEvent.type); setTimeout(function(){unhideDiv()}, 2000 );
}
function unhideDiv(){ alert(globalEvent.type); //Member not found error found on this line }
I was wondering if I had declared the globalEvent = new Object(); would that make any difference? I thought everything in JS was an object so the event could be stored to one as well?
In hover, the structure is Code: $("div.x2").hover( function(){ var a = 1;}, function(){ alert(a);} );
If I want to access a that was set in the mouseover part of this structure, or I want to change the value of a from the second function, do I have to create a global variable that can be accessed by both or is there a way to pass this variable back and forth between the two functions since they are both within the hover event?
I have this web application where users are able to fill out and submit reports. The reports and scripts are part of a whole system, that is, they are used on a couple of different clients written in both vb and c#. This is the web-version of those clients.The scripting language is javascript and is executed using different script engines on the different systems. But for the web-version it is just executed in the browser.The different fields in the report can be accessed by typing:ID1.value. To get ID1 to apply for the input-field with id ID1 I had to in the initfunction of the page write a window["ID1"] = document.getElementById("ID1");
But my problem is when this element change. Cause in the report I have a special element that in the browser is translated to a table-element with a report-field in each cell.When I switch the current row, I need to update the window["ID1"] to equal the correct report field on the selected row. But when trying to access the new variable ID1 from a buttons onclick event it is undefined.<input type="text" id="test" onclick="alert(ID1.value);" />What I think happens is that when the page is first drawn the onclick event is created and as I understand, variables inside an event has the same value as when the event was created.
So if ID1.value was something when the page was created it will be the same when it is called even if the value of ID1 is different. And that seems to be the case. When I debug the page, before entering the event, ID1.value has the correct value while inside the event it is undefined and after the event it has the correct value. If I write window["ID1"] correct value is also shown.But a weird thing is that in another place in the code I had the same problem but instead of having the code inside the onclick event I first had a global function changeActiveRow and inside that I had an eval, eval(document.getElementById("ID1_script")) where ID1_script is a hidden element whos value is a script using ID1.value and that works.
as an example,when you enter in a username, a static string of "Your [URL]has the USERNAME replaced with what you are typing in.This is day one of JQ for me. I was looking at the onkeyup event in JS in general, but I figure it is time for me to learn JQ.I am pretty sure I am going to
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ // something fancy here
I'm trying to learn JavaScript on my own and am using a Dashcode example (if anybody uses Dashcode, the example is the "Browser" web application template that is shown when Dashcode opens).
Briefly, the JavaScript generates a list of "Locations" in the USA:
Code JavaScript: // Sample data. Some applications may have static data like this, but most will want to use information fetched remotely via XMLHttpRequest. var parks = [
[Code]....
I want to retain the layout and structure but, depending on the "Location" have different text for each of the new pages (not "the scenery is amazing etc).
I am working on a website where I need to keep the navigation on the left and the header on top of the page the same across every single webpage, that way if I need to make a change I don't need to go into the code of 75 html files.
