Problem With SetTimeout And Complex Args

Apr 19, 2006

I'm trying to add a timeout to the mouseout behavior, to keep the menus open for a split second after the user mouses out. (IE 6 only for now).

I'm having trouble using the the setTimeout function with a complex statement. Here's the function:

function mouseOutActions(el) {
//el.className=el.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover"), "");
setTimeout(el+"'.className = '"+el+"'.className.replace(new RegExp(' hover\b',''),'');",2000);
}

How Can I Read Args From Url Using Javascript?

Jul 23, 2005

I thought this would be simple for me to work out, but I can't seem to find reference to it. I'm flexable on how I call a URL, thus, if I have any one of the following:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=dup
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=1
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?dup

How can I read the value to the right of the question mark?

I want to create a javascript function which reads the url, and, if the url was passed an arguement, it acts on it (namely, displays an error message)....

Complex Script Creation.

Sep 12, 2007

I need help putting together a script that will take all standard text on a page and translate it to another language (spanish or german).

So if I post this script on my blog at any given time (in the comment section) it will change the language for all viewers. Where do I start? Will this work on both FF and IE6/7?

Parsing Complex User Inputs

Jul 23, 2005

I have been handed the task of updating and maintaining a web
application, written in ASP and Javascript, that takes complex
user inputs in HTML form and submits them to server-side ASP
pages for processing. The problem is, the user inputs can
become very complex, and the way this application was developed,
the inputs are all concatenated into monstrously long strings
of text that are then submited as <hidden> inputs in HTML forms
and parsed by the server-side ASP. This results in hideous strings
that go on and on like
johnsmith~1232^01^Yes^no~~|43|april

etc. etc. This code is an incredible pain to maintain and update.
There has got to be a better way to do this. I am required to
use javascript and vbscript in ASP pages on the client side,
and ASP pages for processing data on the server side. I can't
switch to a different technology, or use .NET, or anything like
that. I have to use JS and VBScript to get intricate and lengthy
user inputs and submit them for processing. I would like to
store these inputs in objects somehow and then get the data
from those objects, if possible.

TreeMenu - Complex Disappearing Problem

Jul 23, 2005

My web page has one unordered list that disappears in Firefox. The
unordered list in question has the class="dir". I double-checked the
source code and verified the markup's semantics. Everything looked
fine. So I placed the code in the W3C validator and it passed with no
errors. Then I placed a regular unordered list with no class before
the previous unordered list. Upon a reload, the new unordered list did
not render, yet the unordered list with the "dir" class appeared. The
whole situation was strange.

After reviewing web page with the DOM inspector, the disappearing list
had been assigned {display: none}. Apparently, my JavaScript for
TreeMenu functionality was the culprit. I attempted to debug the
JavaScript. Sadly, my JavaScript knowledge is elementary even though I
successfully implemented the approach from
http://www.bakketun.net/listmenu/. When my web page became more
convoluted, the JavaScript began faltering along its seams.

Here are my discoveries while debugging (using Venkman). The
elementHasClass() should match the "element.ClassName" with
"TreeMenu." If not, the function return false. Unfortunately, another
function passes the div element to the setMenu(); then the said
function assign the display attribute; block or none.

But I can not pinpoint where the code goes down the wrong path;
needless to say develop a solution.

Please review the site below and let me know if you have suggestions.
View source and search for class="dir"; the disappearing list has the
text "test." Problematic code JavaScript area may include the line
listed below. This posting was intended as a short description.
Further clarification will be gladly provided if someone shows
interest in a particular aspect. I have pages of notes on the
debugging process.....

Can't Move A Complex Object From One Frame To Another

Jul 20, 2005

I am trying to implement JavaScript that will remove a table row in frame [left],
and append it to a table in frame [right]. The browser is IE6.

I've played with several approaches for quite a bit of time, but none of them seem
to work. The removed row does not seem to be able to go across the frame boundaries.

Here is the code in the target frame [right] that is invoked by a button in
frame [left]: Code:

Using .append To Build A Complex Menu?

Sep 23, 2010

To build a menu block which should be switchable with hide/unhide of the menu items, I'm using .append html.

navigat += '<h3 class="infoH3"> <a id="' + menuID +'"'
+ ' href="javascript:slideMenu('' + menuSlider + '');">'
+ menuName + '</a></h3>';

[code]....

At the moment I build those html elements line by line. Also OK .. as far as the resulting string has the opening and closing tag, eg.

"<li>aMenu2</li>".

As can be seen from above posted code there is a line "<div id="' + menuSlider + '" style="display:none">".Appending that -- AFAIS -- the .append is automatically (????) adding "</div>" which closes the statement.That breaks my idea of the whole concept! The menu part isn't included in the 'menuSlider '.How to change it -- NOT to have that "</div" added to it?

Complex (?) Q: Run Asp Script / Reload Form List?

Oct 6, 2005

What I'm currently doing is returning a list of images in a directory via a form list. I'm an asp guy so vbscript is the way I'm doing this:

<select name="image" size="10" onChange="generateimage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" align=left>
<%
Dim FSO
Dim Files
Dim File
Dim Count
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Files = FSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("./moms_images/")).Files
Set FSO = Nothing
Count = 0
For Each File In Files
Select Case LCase(Right(File.Name, 3))
Case "jpg", "gif", "bmp", "png"

Response.Write "<option value='" & File.Name & "'>" & File.Name & "</option>"

End Select
Next
Set File = Nothing
Set Files = Nothing
%>
</select>

What I *hope* to be able to do is allow a file upload (also vbscript) from a pop-up window and, when the upload is complete, refresh the list (above) without reloading the page (AJAX fever, methinks)

The only thing that would make it even cooler would be to auto-select / display the newest upload otf (I use dhtml to display the images on-select ala dynamicdrives example).

I realize this is a fairly tall order, but would be greatful for any pointers or weblinks for this js-challenged soul to use to get started.

IE 5+ Bug? How To Store Complex Objects Whilst Changing Pages

Jul 20, 2005

Does anybody know why IE5+ does *not* honour array objects (like a table)
across a session?

Example:
Frame A contains a var tableVar which is set via form Frame B (on init)
using top.A.tableVar = document.getElementById("someTable");

As long as Frame B is *not* 'refreshed/ reloaded' witk another page the
variable in Frame A is ok.

However, when the page is changed it just 'kills' the rows in tableVar.rows
(the lenght just turns to 0).

When tested with something simple like a String (instead of a table) the
above mechanism works as expected.

After two full days of mucking about this is strting to smell funny.
Does anybody have any idea/ suggestion as to the what and/ or why of this
behaviour.

Adding Google Maps With Custom XML To This Complex Site?

Jul 23, 2009

Enter a search term and:1) Google Blog Results show up2) Twitter Search Results show up3) Google Maps with custom xml data shows upI have accomplished the first 2 parts - http://www.justincener.com/xmlI now want to add in Google Maps. The idea is to type in a athlete's name and have results come back from Google Blog Search (done), Twitter (done), and Google Maps. I only need to show 2-3 choices, so I want to create a custom Google Maps XML doc that corresponds to a few search terms. For example, when someone types in "Tom Brady", I want a Google Map to also come up along with the Google Blog and Twitter Results.

On the map, I want to plot 4 points showing his 4 next games. I think I know how to create the custom XML for GMaps, but I don't know how to implement it so that when someone enters input, the GMaps will show up. Can anyone get me started in the right direction please?Here is the JS so far that handles Google Blog Results and Twitter Results:

var errorCount=0;
var twitter_link;
function searchGoogle(query)

JQuery :: Complex Form Hiding Input Depending On A Tick Box

Aug 5, 2009

I am writing an accounting sofware, and I have difficulties with the form used to enter the debit and credit for a given transaction. I have used the Jquery validation plugin demo, but I don't know how to hide a specific input cell and replace it by blanks. In accounting, you have either a credit or a debit. So I have an indicator tick box at the beginning of each line which defines whether the line is a debit or credit, and if so it hides the credit cell or debit cell.

SetTimeout Inside A SetTimeout?

Jul 12, 2010

I have the following function that's supposed to say "Please make a guess" 20 seconds after an initial confirmation is displayed. However, it's immediately displayed as soon as someone hits "Cancel". If I change it's time to 40000 (20 seconds after the initial function is called), it does do it 40 seconds total, so it kind of does what I want. So it seems that the second setTimeout is initiated from the time the script is called generally, but I'm looking for a way specifically to have the 20 seconds start only after the "cancel" button is hit.

SetTimeout()??

Jul 23, 2005

I'm wondering if its because I don't fully understand setTimeout(). I have a web page that calls a function on the Onload. This function calls two separate functions and then
uses setTimeout() to keep calling itself. Each function randomly generates
a number and then I update the image.src with that.

If I run setTimeout() on just one function by itself, it almost always displays a new pic...but when I put the setTimeout() in the startup function a get a lot of duplicates. I've been watching it for a long time and I don't think it's a coincidence. Any idea
as to why it seems like both functions don't run/update the pic all the time? If I uncomment the line, alert("hello"), it runs all the time? Code:

Object This And SetTimeout

Feb 21, 2006

I have a HTML page with a form with 2 buttons like this

....
<input type="button" value="Add" onClick="ClickAdd();"/>
<input type="button" value="Reset" onClick="ClickReset();"/>
....

I also have this javascript code:

----------------------------------------

function ClickAdd() {
setTimeout(test.Add, 100);
//test.Add();
};

function ClickReset() {
setTimeout(test.Add, 100);
//test.Reset();
};

Test = function () {
this.total = 0;
};

Test.prototype.Add = function() {
this.total++;
alert(this);
};

Test.prototype.Reset = function(i) {
this.total = 0;
alert(this);
};

Test.prototype.toString = function() {
return (this.total);
};

test = new Test();

-------------------------------------------


the thing is:

in the ClickAdd function, if i call test.Add() directly, is works ok But if I call it using setTimeout, the /alert(this)/ shows [object Window]....

Settimeout And This Keyword

Apr 3, 2007

I am modifying the suckerfish dropdown code to use settimeout to have
a slight pause before the menus disappear to make it more user
friendly. I have hit a snag with the following statement:

li.
{
timerID=setTimeout('this.getElementsByTagName("UL")
[0].style.display = "none"', timecount);
}

If I put take the statement

this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.display = "none";

out of the settimeout function, it works. (w/o the pause, obviously).
With the settimeout function, I get "this.getElementByTagName is not a
function" error.

I have tried putting this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0] is a variable
and then using that in the settimeout function, but then each li will
only open the very last menu in the list. (ie all the menu items open
the last sub menu) Code:

SetTimeout - ClearTimeout

Oct 25, 2007

var SessionTimer;

function StartSessionTimer()
{
SessionTimer = setTimeout('RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage(),60000)
}

function RestartSessionTimer()
{
clearTimeout(SessionTimer);
StartSessionTimer();
}

function RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage()
{
window.location = '/SessionTimedOut.html'
}

When I load the page and call StartSessionTimer(), I know it works because the page redirects after ten minutes (the value of 60000). However, in certain situations I need to be able to call back to the server with AJAX and then have the timer reset - that's when I call the RestartSessionTimer() function. When I do this, for some reason the ten minute window does not get reset.

To troubleshoot, if I remove the second line in the RestartSessionTimer() function the redirect is getting blocked (as planned). However, when I put the second line back in, the page just redirects as originally called - the SessionTimeout value is never
reset properly.

The code above looks good to me, but for some reason the SessionTimeout var does not get reset in the RestartSessionTimer function; it retains its original value?

Reset SetTimeout

Jul 20, 2005

I have a pop-up menu; one of those where you scroll over the menu, and
a submenu pops up beneath it. Everything's running smoothly on every
browser I've tested with, except for one problem on every browser: the
"clearing" of the menu.

The menu itself is being called by:
onMouseOver="menu(1)" onMouseOut="clearIt()"

function menu(x) let's "x" refer to a predefined array, which
determines which menu to pop up. That menu is stored in a variable,
showMenu. If x==0, then it changes showMenu to a whitespace, thus
"clearing" the submenu altogether.

clearIt() is a simple function, pasted here:
function clearIt() { setTimeout("menu(&#390;')", 7000) }

The idea is that the menu will disappear after 7 seconds. The problem
I'm having, though, is that the 7 seconds starts after the first
onMouseOut, and doesn't restart when the visitor mouses over the
second button. So, if I look at the first submenu for 6 seconds, then
when I go to the second button the menu only stays open for 1 second,
instead of starting the timer over.
