I'm pretty much lost at javascript, and unfortunately can use php to accomplish this, so here goeI have existing html page that includes a Week #. ie, 1, 2, 3, 5.... and so on.I'd like to be able to have a text, csv, or similar file that I can update on frequent basis that will list a Week # and than custom field of some type. (likely a date or unix time stamp).Is there a way to open a text file (or csv, etc) in javascript. Than be able to compare and get the correct data?Off the top of my head, I think its possible, and would involve something like the following?1. Create a csv file like below1, this is custom, my other custom2, some more, and this too3, and somthing, see spot run2. Next would be have a javascript open and read the file. You would assign a variable name to each 1st, 2nd and 3rd item of each line.Than the script would loop through each line until it found a a match of Variable

I have one html-file where the user inserts a search path for an excel file. When the user clicks the button the data in the excel file should be presented in a <TABLE>. (Yeah, I know, activex only works in IE .. but that's good enough for this project)
The problem is .. I started out with a "fixed" search path for the excel file, so I didn't have the code in a function. That worked just fine. Once I added the function {} around the code it wouldn't work, it works just fine if I comment out the form-part and the function-part, and give the search path, of course.
It also works just fine if I use the function and form, but remove the <TABLE>- and <TR>-rows

I have some Javascript which says this:
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
I am using javascript to search for the '*' character in a string (ie. 'username*:') but using search('*') does not work. How do I search for it since the search function takes a regexp argument and * messes that up?

this function is supposed to search a string for decimals and tell me how many of them it has found, but for some reason, it's not doing it right. since the "period" character is a special character in regular expressions,I went ahead and escaped it, but it's still doesn't work.
function ImprovedFormatAmount(ElementId)
{
var oElement = document.getElementById(ElementId);
var ElementValue = oElement.value;
var DecimalRegXp = /./g;
var OutputValue = ElementValue;
if (OutputValue.length > 0)
{alert (OutputValue.search(DecimalRegXp));}
}
I have a string:
Code:
var str = "6, 14, 2, 23, 121, 137, 342, 453, 543, 4, 762"

I want to check if num exists in str.
Is there any javascript function to do this?

I have a large string, but need to search for a specific character and replace it only if it is between two other items. Examplemystring would be something like this<parent><child1>1 & 2</child1><child2>1 & 2</child2><child3>1 & 2</child3></parent>I need to replace the & symbol in child2, but not 1 or 3. I am trying to figure out how to replace just any & signs in child2, but I need to leave them alone in child 1 and 3.I know I can do a replace(), but just not sure how to limit it to only the one I need

function parseGetVars() {
var getVars = new Array();
var qString = unescape(top.location.search.substring(1));
var pairs = qString.split(/&/);
for (var i in pairs) {
var nameVal = pairs[i].split(/=/);

I'm writing a piece of JS code that returns a result of true if the pattern appears in string as a substring (case sensitive) but would like to extend its functionality to returns true if all the individual characters of pattern appear in string (regardless of order).

For example:This is what the program currently does:
match1("adipisci","pis") returns true
Whereas I would now like it to do this:
match1("adipisci","sciip") returns true
match2("adipisci","sciipx") returns false because x does not exist in variable
match3["adipisci","adipisci"] returns true in array 1 and 2 if "sciip" is searched
match4["adipisci","adipiscix"] returns false in array 1 and true in array 2 if "sciipx" is searched

The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?
