Returning Variable From Within Nested Function

Mar 9, 2009

The code is below but basically I have two global variables, then I have a function and then a function within that, I am simply trying to update these global variables from within the nested function so i can then go on and use them in another function! this sounds like quite a straight forward request to me, but maybe it can not be done? When I do an alert on the variables (after I have apparently updated their values) I get 'undefined'!

Code JavaScript:
var resultLatB;
var resultLngB;
function getLatLngFromTown(town, callbackFunction) {
var localSearchB = new GlocalSearch();
localSearchB.setSearchCompleteCallback(null,
function() {
if (localSearchB.results[0]){
resultLatB = localSearchB.results[0].lat;
resultLngB = localSearchB.results[0].lng;
pointA = resultLatB;
pointB = resultLngB;

//THIS WORKS
alert("Test 1 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 1 = " + resultLngB);
}});
localSearchB.execute(town + ", UK");
//DOESN'T WORK... SHOULD IT?
alert("Test 2 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 2 = " + resultLngB);
}
getLatLngFromTown("oxfordshire",null);

//I WANT THIS TO WORK!
alert("Test 3 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 3 = " + resultLngB);

console.log("It worked")[code]....

Why Is Function Returning False?

Aug 13, 2011

So for whatever reason the convertToArray function in the following code returns false if the argument is more than 1 character long. If it's 1 character long it just returns the character as an array with only one value.What I'm trying to do is take a string of numbers, plus signs, and minus signs and convert it to an array.

Ajax :: Returning A Value Directly From A Function?

Dec 1, 2009

I'm attempting to simplify my javascript code when it comes to ajax, but afterwords it only prints 'undefined' to the screen rather than what I want it to print.

I want to be able to put something like this on my main page onclick="document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = print_output();" where print_output() is the ajax function. This way I don't have to use a function to assign values directly to innerHTML and I don't have to muck about with a js file whenever I want to change my page layout.

To do this, I created a recursive function:

function print_output(return_value) {

if a value has been passed to the function, simply return it
if(return_value || return_value == 0) {
return return_value;
}

[Code].....

but like I said, it prints 'undefined' out to the screen. Why isn't this printing the contents that it receives from 'index.php' like it's supposed to?

GetElement Function Returning Undefined Value

Sep 26, 2009

Here is a clip of code from a script project im working on. Now my document.getElementsByTagName is returning a "undefined" value.

<a href="[URL]" style="text-decoration: none; color: #EDDBAF; font-size: 16px;">
<center style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<font style="color: #EDDBAF; font-size: 16px;" id="title"></font>
</center></a>
<li id="name"><a http="[URL]" style="color: blue;">John Doe</a></li>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pname = document.getElementById('name').getElementsByTagName('a');

Now if I remove the ".getElementsByTagName('a')" it will actually work, but it also includes the <a> tag thats within the <li> tag, which I don't want.
document.getElementById('title').innerHTML=pname.innerHTML;
</script>

Returning ResponseXML, Set Within An Anonymous Function, Only Once ReadyState = 4

Dec 4, 2006

I have several functions with code along the lines of:

var xmlDoc = requestXML("ajax.asp?SP=SelectRelatedTags&tag=" +
array[i]);

The requestXML() function includes the code:

var xmlDoc = null;
http_request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
if (http_request.status == 200) {
xmlDoc = http_request.responseXML;
} else {
alert('There was a problem with the request.' +
http_request.status);
}}};
http_request.open('GET', url, true);
http_request.send(null);
return xmlDoc;

However, the last line (the return) executes before the readyState
reaches 4. How do I return the xmlDoc to the functions only once the
xmlDoc has been assigned? I tried putting the return statement in a
while loop with the condition that the readyState must = 4 - this
worked, but makes the browser popup a message saying the script is
slowing down the system.

JQuery :: Width Function Returning Zero On Occasion?

May 26, 2010

I have a weird bug that's occuring in pretty much all the browsers. If I close the tab, and then hit Ctrl -> Shift -> T to bring it back the width() method returns 0 on an appended image instead of what the image actually is. Hitting refresh on the tab removes this bug and everything works fine. I will also say that trying
.css('width') and
document.getElementById('divShadowLeft');
Both also return 0 for this bug.

I can't show all the code for security reasons, but I'll just outright ask.. what are the reasons that width() would return 0 on an image? I've checked to make sure that it was visible (both display and visibility properties), and I checked the length of the property to ensure it was there. I just can't figure out why width() is returning 0.

Here's a code snippet:
$(this).append('<img src="'+defaults["imagePath"]+defaults["imageLeft"]+'" alt="" id="'+defaults["imageClass"]+'Left" class="'+defaults["imageClass"]+'" style="" />');
alert('Length: '+$('#divShadowLeft').length+' | Width: '+$('#divShadowLeft').width()+' | Visible: '+$('#divShadowLeft').css('visibility'));

I have a function where in I call another function that assigns a value to a var. code...

For some reason my code below is returning 'undefined'. But when I place an alert(); before the 'return' it shows the correct value. However when I place an alert(); to show the var that is set to what the function returns it says 'undefined'.

Returning Reference To Function Definition When Using Self-Invocation?

Mar 26, 2011

I have this code:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

[code]....

The practical scenario is I have several functions attached to the jQuery ajaxSucess event. Each function needs to execute once during initial load and after when the JQuery ajaxSuccess event is fired. So I am just looking to see if I can eliminate a a few lines of code and learn something new in the process, that is really all.

JQuery :: Get Function Returning String Not JSON Object

Aug 5, 2009

I have a very simple PHP script that returns JSON like this:
{"question":"What day is it?"}

And I'm trying to call it from another page using Ajax. My code looks like this:
var url = "/test.php";
$.get(url,
function(data){
$.each(data, function(i, value) {
alert(value);
}, "json"
);
});

When I run it I get each character printed out one at a time in a separate alert. And then when I used this line of code:
alert(typeof data);
It tells me that 'data' is a string. Shouldn't it be a JSON object?

Document.createElement Element - Remove 'div' Before Returning The Function

Apr 18, 2011

I've written the following small feature test.

[Code].....

I want to remove 'div' before returning the function. Testing in IE something like div.parentNode.removeChild(div); will fail. If I look in the dom 'div's parentNode is null, so that explains that. It needs to be appended to something first I guess.

Declare A Variable Inside A Function - Returns White Space - Not Variable Value

Aug 17, 2010

I am trying to declare a variable inside a function and use it later on in my code... but it just already returns white space... i.e. not variable value. I am setting it within this function:

function show_video1(){
document.getElementById('video1').style.display="block";
var video1Name = "Education World News (Part 1)";
document.getElementById('video2').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video3').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video4').style.display="none";
[Code]...

and trying to call it later on with this: <script type="text/javascript">document.write(video1Name)</script> It might be worth noting that each one of my 11 videos will hace a different name.
