edited: the first alert has this in the brackets: &l t; i.e. the html code for < but for some reason this foum converts it. and i thought html was off?
I was expecting the above to alert the text in the brackets exactly as written in the code for both divs. However both events alert '<'. Why is that? I want to be able to pass '<' as an agrument to events without being converted, because that is what is happening. How may I prevent it?
I'm trying to create links that onclick sort a table by title, author, etc. How would I pass an argument to an event handler? Right now, it just executes the sort function. It doesn't wait for me to click the link.
Im trying to write a code to draw random numbers, like a lottery generator. It will require the user to input amount of numbers per line & choose the amount of numbers. From the numbers the user inputs it will generate random numbers to that guideline.
I have wrote the random number function, that works fine. Im having problems invoking it with ONCLICK event handlers. I cant seem to get the correct arguments. And all i get in return is "undefined"
This is the form for the onclick button <INPUT TYPE = "button" NAME = "drawBalls" VALUE ="Draw the Balls!" ONCLICK = "lotteryForm.drawnNumbersTextBox.value = ">
Now Im not putting up to much code, as its part of an Assignment, I dont want to cheat, i just want to be pointed in the right direction. :(
I've been teaching myself javascript and I'm a bit confused about the whole events business. I've been reading the Sitepoint book (among a bunch of others) and when it gets to Ch 4 things get down right confusing. They claim that inline event handlers are "so 1998", something I've heard before and then they proceed to write some pretty complex library files to get around the fact that IE <= 7 doesn't support much of the alternative ways of handling events--a familiar enough story. Anyhow, it seems that many many tutorials all over the internet (and countless pages) resort to inline event handlers as the standard. So, I'm confused. I obviously need to know inline event handlers if I intend to work as a web developer even though it's so 1998. Obviously inline even handlers are not quite on par with inline font attributes and transparent gif files despite the language one often hears. Can someone set me straight, and if possible suggest a brilliant tutorial, book chapter, or website that lays everything crystal clear for me?
I want to create a HTML Table and correspondingly have 2 buttons. One would be add button and other would be remove button. I have few text boxes where I will fill the data and later on clicking Add these text boxes details would be added to the Table. I am using javascript code to handle the event (on click event handler) Similarly I wanted to delete an entry from the table. This is where I am having a problem. The requirement is: In the table if I click on any row I want that row to be highlighted. I can use any color to highlight the row. Then on clicking Remove Button I want to delete that row that is highlighted. I am unable to solve this as I dont know what event handler to use to perform this action and also how to code for this. I am not sure about the events the HTML table can handle and how the selected row can be deleted.
I'm trying to figure out a way to put this in all js code with the onclick event handlers and the parameters. I have 3 links that switch the style of my page. Right now I have them working with inline event handlers. Here are my code snippets below.

I have character counter for textarea wich counting the characters. Special character needs same place as two normal characters because of 16-bit encoding.
Counter is counting -2 when special character is added like some language specific char.
I am copying from microsoft word a simple word into my application(rich text editor).. i get special characters added to it. how can i get rid of them?
I have a problem displaying a divbox containing a html-textarea - everything works fine with "normal" characters. However, when the textarea contains special chars like <P> or ' , the box fails to show:
I have a number of scripts that take special characters and convert them to their ascii equivalents and them store them in the database.
However I am running into a problem that I have some of those fields are loaded to an array and inserted into cells dynamically. As an example the array would be:
var my_array = [ ["52","Source Data"], ["19","Body & Soap"] ];
Then I have some javascript that creates the cell and inserts the value into a cell text node like:
var x = my_array[1][1]; // this would be "Body & Soap"
//create the cell myTD=document.createElement("TD");
//create the text node myText=document.createTextNode(x);
// Appends each node following the structure. myTD.appendChild(myText);
I am trying to get a series of dynamic digits from page one to page two via the url. below are the codes have been able to come up with. The problem am having however is that the variables from the first page contains two other characters mainly (=) and (on). therefore, the result i get is like this;
What i want displayed are simply the numbers without these two characters.
I have a JSON source (a plain text file) that has some special chars in it and they look correct in the text file. However when I retrieve the file and use $.evalJSON against it the resultant array has things likeinstead.I'm sure I must be missing something obvious
I'm trying to get some images on my page by their src attribute. Src attribute have this format :
src = [URL]
For doing that I'm using the following query :
$j("img[src*='request=gettile'][src*='"+$j(this).data("target")+"']") $j(this).data("target") contains my mapname, it works fine.
But my users can use mapname that can be contained in another map names. Example : mapblabla and pbla. When I'm searching pbla it's returning images of mapblabla and pbla. That's why I need to put the symbol equal before and the symbol & after my map name. Then the request is :
Can anyone tell me how to escape the special characters(like &,^,%,$ etc) in a string using Javascript?
For eg. I have a string like this : "Tes$#t" I want this to be changed to Tes$# before sending as a input parameter. So that i can process the string as it is typed exactly.
I was hoping that someone could give me a hand with a regex quetsion. I'm quite new to it all, but managed to get things working pretty much how I would like them except for allowing special characters such etc.
