Search Function - Getting Double Quotes Into Coding
Nov 11, 2010
I have completed the necessary function and it does not need any changes however from the "alert" I need there has to be double quotes surrounding the search 'Lboro'. (I know I may be making a meal of the coding however the lecturer wants us to follow this due to everyone being at different levels of programming). I have used the '' character however the double quotes do not end up in the position I require them?!
My Coding
function findAnyU (s){
var a = s , b , c , d , e = -1;
for (var i = 0 ; i < pages.length && e == -1 ; i++){
b = pages[i].indexOf('[');
c = pages[i].indexOf(']');
d = pages[i].substring(b+1, c).toLowerCase();
e = d.indexOf(s.toLowerCase());
}
if(e >= 1)
a += ' found'
else
a += ' not found'
return (a)
}
alert (findAnyU('Lboro' , pages));
Current Alert =
Lboro found

I've got this bit of code that I've wrote and it was working absolutely fine like this:
function validatepostcode() {
var postcodevalue = document.getElementById("postcode").value;
if (postcodevalue.indexOf("S") == -1)
{
alert(postcodevalue + " is not a valid postcode.");
[Code]...
What I want to do is wrap the value of "postcodevalue" in double quotes, and since it's inside an alert, I used the escape sequence ", which is how it should be done as far as I know. But for some reason, Dreamweaver's giving me a syntax error warning and the code doesn't work. Am I using the double quotes wrong?

I have the following PHP which passes a variable to two other frames:
PHP Code:
$name=addslahes($row['name']);
echo('<tr><td><a href="javascript:
void(parent.frameB.location=/'frameB.php?name='.$name.'&desc='.$desc.'/');
void(parent.frameC.location=/'frameC.php?name='.$name.'&number='.$number.'/');"> '.$row['name'].'</a></td></tr>');
(Note that I have put / in above where there is really a just so that it shows up in the post). The link works fine with normal characters in the variable $name, and it works with single quotes in the varable, but not double quotes (the addslashes() escapes single and double quotes with a backslash).
Why doesn't the link work with double quotes in the variable?

I know that using <a href="javascript:"> and <sometag onclick=""> is evil, but in this particular situation it is quite hard to avoid it due to external powers Anyway here is the issue itself : putting javascript strings inside HTML attributes :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('string')">
Everything is fine until there are single or double quotes INSIDE the 'string' value. Having a double quote inside the string, even JS escaped leads to the onclick argument value being cut :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('str"ing')">
If you replace the double quote by '"' then you don't get a double quote inside DoSomething (you could always replace " by " in JS).
Similar problem if you choose to enclose the onclick argument in single quotes and happen to have a single quote JS escaped inside the string.So, is there any other way of dealing with potential presence of single AND double quotes in the 'string' value, other than replacing them before by ' and " and then replacing them back inside DoSomething ?

<button onClick="return popup('<span onClick='selectShape(1, 1, 1)'>test<span>');" tabindex=Ɖ' onFocus="setFocusColor(0,3)">....</button>
This will work perfectly, but as soon as I need to pass Strings inside the selectShape function, I get stuck.
So the question is, how can I create the following and have it working
......selectShape(2, 'Tricky', ཤx5°').....

I have a page that submits to a db then re-loads its self with new information. Unfortunately it goes wrong when the user double clicks on a one of many text links that provides the info for the display on reload. How do I stop users from double clicking on the page? Ideally I think I would like to call some sort of js function from body onload as I presume this would then cover the whole of the page, but have no idea if this is possible or how to go about writing it.

I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.

I created a search where I use AJAX to send a request to a MYSQL database using PHP. I am able to get the two to talk. You can click the search button and the "results" will display. The problem is that it is every piece of data from the database. It is currently performing a search based off the words typed in the form. Below is my HTML and my PHP.
HTML:
Code:

I've been having a lot of trouble trying getting the following code to work, all the examples that I have seen tell me that it should, but it doesn't and i'm out of ideas.
if (parent.input_frame.input_form.cheque_number.value.search(/./) != -1)
{
alert('The cheque number is invalid.');
parent.input_frame.input_form.cheque_number.select();
return;
}
What I want it to do is alert the user that the cheque number they have entered is invalid if it contains a period / full stop / dot.
The problem is that it always says the cheque number is invalid no matter what the user enters.
I have spent the last hour or two trying a number of things using just about all the regex functions and examples in the JavaScript book I have and examples from other posts on this site, but still cannot get it to work.
If you could let me know what I am doing wrong or provide me with an example of another way to do this that would be great.
Browser is Internet Explorer, have tried /D/ as the regex too, but this did not trigger the alert when a number with a dot was entered.

I have written a JS search function. I want it to work with IE, Firefox, Opera and Windows Safari. At this point it is working in all four of these browsers except for one feature: if the word I'm searching for is at the bottom of the textarea (not in the visible text) then the search function will not scroll the text up so that the find is visible.
I should quickly say that this does work in IE but not in the other three browsers. I'm at a loss as to how to get the textarea to scroll the found word into view in FF, Opera and Safari.

is it possible to combine the the following functions with each other in an array for example and if so, would someone be kind enough to show me how. the reasons are 1. to see if it is at all possible and 2. to learn so that I can combine further possibilities in the future. the first script compares user keywords from search mashines and the second replaces certain strings/paterns with others.

outputting the results from a javascript search function onto a new page. Right now I am using a javascript search script on 7 pages and it works but the results overwrite the current page that the search was initiated from. I would like it to open a new page and print out into a specific area. Im not really proficient in js, tho I know enough to get by. since ive been grinding my gears at work trying to get this to display right. I'll post the code tomorrow morning when I get to work so you can see the function.

I have to create a dynamic html block that can hide and show text, anchor tag is used to hide/show the block, which is also dynamically generated, so I have to call anchor's tag click event using live function, but within that click event I have to look up for immediate next div control which will hide/show. my code is somewhat like below I am comment the line of code which is not working
$("a").live("click", function(e) {
var $nextElement = $(this).next("div");//div control is not found here, it is also dynamically generated.
($(this).html() == "[-]") ? $(this).html("[+]") : $(this).html("[-]");

If this search function is included in an include file with other functions it will run more than once if you click another function first, then come back to it to do another search.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a#searchowner").click(function() {
var searchval=$("#p1").val();
alert(searchval); //test alert box
$.post("findowner.php", {p1 : searchval}, function(data){
if (data.length>0){
$("#ownerIDdiv2").html(data);
}});
});
}); //end
For example if I click the next page function, then decide to click for a new search it runs more than once:
Next page function:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a#nextpage').click(function() {
var page = $(this).attr('page');
var searchval = $(this).attr('schval');
var maxpage = $(this).attr('maxpage');
$.post("findowner.php", {
p1 : searchval,
page : page
}, function(data){
if (data.length>0){
$("#ownerIDdiv2").html(data);
} });
});
}); //end
However, if I put the first search function in a separate include file all works perfect. Why it runs multiple times if it is grouped among other functions?

I've got this listbox full of hundreds of employee names. Clicking on a name executes a function using onchange. Because of the length of the list I decided a search function would be really handy and I finally found one that works.
Now the search function, when you type in the input box, scrolls the list to the first matching entry. And that's good, that's what I wanted.
The problem comes in when you try to click on the name the search function found. Nothing happens ofcourse because the onchange tag in the list reacts to changes, not direct clicks.
code:
The list is populated by java but for testing I disabled the function that clears the "Loading" option and I set it to selected. That way the loading option is highlighted by default and the search function is free to highlight something else, then when I click on the search result it works like it's supposed to.
But keeping a highlighted option at the top of the list for that sole purpose isn't very elegant, especially since if you click on it the onchange function tries to execute and generates errors. The only solution I can think of is to use java to generate another option way at the bottom of the list that has the selected attribute but I don't quite know how to do that.
