I am learning HTML for the first time taking a self teaching class
though my local Community College. Normally this college rocks and has
some of the best resources and down to earth teachers that pick books
that acutally help folks.
Well they failed and my book take more logic jumps that Stephen
Hawkins! :D
So my ultimate question is as follows:
How do I created a function with the following information provided:
Create a fucntion named Mquote that contains the single parameter,
Qnum.
My apologies for such little information. I am sure its my oversight
that I am unable to locate the answer to my question.
What I am looking for is the base layout for noob java functions.
I have some javascript functions in an xslt file. Everything works and produces the desired html, except when using the visual studio debugger which gives the error "objects of type 'Script1' do not have such a member" and references the line and column where the "this" object is used, as in this.hourarray()
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrote a funtion for all my <a href=...> tags. If I use the function, it looks like this:
<a href="test.html" onFocus="myfunction()">
What I want is to automatically add myfunction() to all the links on a page. So I don't want to add onFocus=blablabla each time when I link to another page.
I have this code:
Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<script language="javascript" >
function outer(data)
{
var operand1 = data;
function inner(operand2)
{
alert(operand1 + operand2)
}
}
</script>
<body>
//<input type="button" value="1" onclick="outer(3)(2)" />
//<input type="button" value="2" onclick="outer(3)(2)" />
<div id="target"></div>
</body>
</html>
How do I call the inner function and pass operand?
We have an applet that has to support the SUN VMs as well as the MS VM.
The applet receives updates from a server (via tcp or http) and wraps them
up as objects and passes them using the JSObject scripting context to a
javascript function.
This function takes the object and reads the properties and updates a
screen.
All seems simple stuff. The problem is that the MS JVM runs like a rocket,
but the sun vm seems to max out our processor and also takes ages to process
anything.
I have tried logging from the console using debug level 5, and it shows a
lot of back and forth between the applet and the javascript when accessing
methods on the object passed.
Seeing that as a possible problem, I now pass a delimited string to the
front end, and then convert that into an update message purely in javascript
so there is only one hit to the applet per message.
I am still seeing a massive difference between the sun and ms VMs.
Has anyone ever come across this, and is there anything I can do to help
flatten out this performance?

Might there be a way to add a set of Javascript functions to a display page's existing set of Javascript functions on the fly without reloading the display page, and if so, how?
A couple of approaches I have tried, but without success are:
- A) For an embedded "retriever" IFrame in the display page to retrieve a set of JS functions from the server and then on its "onload" transfer (by innerHTML transference) that set of functions into the parent display page.
- B) Similiar to "A" but to use regular old browser frames - one being the "retriever" and one being the display page.
- C) Using a JS function in the display page to make a http request for a supplementary .js file(s).
Please note: the goal is to retrieve *only* an additional set of Javascript functions from the server, and then add them to an "original" set of functions already loaded into the browser. Meaning, NOT - say - for an IFrame to download from the server *both* the additional set and again the "original" set, which the parent display page could then run directly from the IFrame.
After "A", "B", and "C", I'm at a loss for further ideas.
I have a form with 2 submit buttons, "Test" and "Save".
I also have to javascript functions, "TestImage" and "SaveImage".
What I want to do is, when the "Test" button get's clicked, then execute the "TestImage" function. That was easy, I did it like this:
<input type="submit" name="test" value="Test" onClick="return TestImage(this);">
But what I also want is, when someone clicks on the "Save" button, to first execute the "TestImage" function, and then the "SaveImage" function. Anyone know how I can do this?
Just wanted to share two handy RegEx expressions to strips leading and
trailing white-space from a string, and to replace all repeated spaces,
newlines and tabs with a single space.
* JavaScript example:
String.prototype.trim = function() {
// Strip leading and trailing white-space
return this.replace(/^s*|s*$/g, "");
}
String.prototype.normalize_space = function() {
// Replace repeated spaces, newlines and tabs with a single space
return this.replace(/^s*|s(?=s)|s*$/g, "");
}
" one two three
".trim(); // --> "one two three"
" one two three
".normalize_space(); // --> "one two three"
i am having trouble understanding what the difference is
between BLUR and FOCUS. I need to include these functions in my form
and i am unsure what these features do and how i incorporate these
into my form.
Are there javascript functions to find the cursor position of a mouse? Also, are there javascript functions to find if the mouse cursor is within a listbox? A C# code sample is shown below:
Listbox lb; //lb is a listbox
Point cpos = lb.PointToClient(Cursor.Position); //find coordinates of mouse
if(lb.ClientRectangle.Contains(cpos)) //if mouse cursor is within the listbox
Are there any javascript functions which can do the same as the above c# methods?
I wrote some prototype functions in my code for arrays this is one of them !
Array.prototype.inArray = function(value){
for (var x in this) {
if (this[x] === value) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
};
when I iterate through array .. I get this functions as values in array !!!
can anybody explain this !?!?
I want to learn more about creating functions for element events
without having to put onclick event in every tag. For example:
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('input').onclick = function () {
alert('hello');
}
</script>
Now, I know the above does not work as I have tried it but hopefully
the idea of what I am trying to achieve here. Basically for every input
tag, when the user triggers the event (click) it will do the same
function.
Anyway, I would more so like to learn about this type of scripting
where you assign functions to events. However, I dont know what to
search for in google and the like. Where could I learn more about this?
First the code:
Code:
Looking at the code, you might assume (as I did) that clicking the button on page1.htm would load page2.htm. However for some reason, when calling a parent function, the function runs with the calling file's path rather than the path of the parent.
So it is actually trying to load /files/files/page2.htm! How do I force all calls to parent.function() to run with parent.hta's path as the root?
Realize that this is a simplistic example and simple solutions such as putting all the files in the same path, or dropping the "/files" in the loadPage2() function are not valid solutions.
Essentially I need to call parent.loadPage2() and have it run the function with the root path = parent.hta's path.
I have written a number of functions designed to return frequency data on 1000 randomly chosen numbers using different math functions for the rounding. I would like to include all of these functions within the wrapper of another function so that only one call is needed to get returns from all of the 'inner' functions. However, while each of the functions works in isolation, the moment I wrap them in another function they stop working. :confused:
The following code is one of the functions 'frequencyWrapperOne' that has been wrapped in the function 'testWrapper'. A call to testWrapper does nothing.
function testWrapper()
{
function frequencyWrapperOne()
{

$(something).split(something),this is a function with a function as a property for that function.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have several form in my site, that validate on onsubmit.I call all the validation functions from a file call functions.js.Here is a sample of the code that is working:
<form name="contact" action="contact-insert.php method="post" onSubmit="return checkform()">
<label class='SubHeadlbl' for='TextField1'><?php echo IDS_EFORMNAME?><br></label>
<input type='text' name='dfname' class='text_field' id='dfname1' size='70' maxlength='40'/>
</form>
all the other forms are not working. all have the same structure:
<form name="frm1000" action="frm1000-insert.php method="post" onSubmit="return checkform1000()">
<label class='SubHeadlbl' for='TextField1'><?php echo IDS_EFORMNAME?><br></label>
<input type='text' name='dfname' class='text_field' id='dfname1000' size='46' maxlength='40'/>
</form>
I don't know what is happening only one for work all the others don't.
I think my brain would have exploded otherwize. Some of the problems have been simple misspellings, but when you have been staring at the same thing for hours it can sorta slip by.Bascially Im not sure if Im using the function command properly. When Submit Details is click it should validate the form and then when Calculate is pressed calculate the form (obviously).I think maybe my var Array table is wrong? And the way the functions are set out doesnt seem it sit right.

The current exchange rate is approximately one New Zealand Dollar to fifty five Euro pence. Code the function in JavaScript. Prompt the user for an amount in New Zealand dollars and display the result.
So far i have done this coding :-

How do you handle two functions? For example:
if I have two separate scripts, one that opens a popup window onclick and one that does a tool tip onmouseover, how do I tie them together inline, at the link? And i can put them in the same <script> tags in the head, right?
How do I "merge" the two functions below - checkFromDate() and
checkToDate() - so that I only have one function. I want to do the same
validation in both text fields, but only have one function that does all
the validation.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkFromDate() {
var ToFrom = document.form.txtFromDate.value
// Do some other validation...
}
function checkToDate() {
var ToDate = document.form.txtToDate.value
// Do same validation as above...
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Start Date : <input type="text" name="txtFromDate"
onBlur="checkFromDate()"> yyyy/mm/dd <br>
End Date : <input type="text" name="txtToDate" onBlur="checkToDate()">
yyyy/mm/dd
</body>
</html>
I want a function to take another function as a parameter, and execute it as a line of code. I put a simplified example below, just to illustrate the idea. Does anyone know the syntax to do this, or is there perhaps a better approach entirely?
// EXAMPLE
doSomething(5, 10, functionA, functionB);
function doSomething(x, y, myFunctionA, myFunctionB) {
if (x > y) {
myFunctionA();
} else {
myFunctionB();
}
}
function functionA() {
// some code
}
function functionB() {
// some code
}
When I click on the "Check All" checkbox, it correctly checks all of the boxes in my form, but I would like each checkbox to also call hideLayer2 function just as what would occur if the user checked the boxes individually. Is there a way to call the hideLayer2 function and pass the correct whichLayer and the_box parameters within the DoToAll function? Maybe there is an easier way?
Code:
Is it possible to merge two functions like these?
<script type="text/javascript">
function showdiv(pass) {
setTimeout('showdiv2("'+pass+'")', 750);
}
function showdiv2(pass) {
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++){
if(divs[i].id.match(pass)){
if (document.getElementById)
divs[i].style.visibility="visible";
}
else {
if (document.getElementById)
divs[i].style.visibility="hidden";
}}}
