JQuery :: Select Ignoring Certain Characters ?

Feb 4, 2011

I have a system that provides titles that have had certain characters stripped out. Iwant to be able to select elements in an HTML document that match the titles, even when the titles in the HTML have notbeen stripped.For example, the title "F.B.I" will have the periods stripped to become "FBI", and I want to use that tomatch <div title="F.B.I">.

So far the only way I've been able to do it is to create a new attribute, set it to a stripped version of the title (using e.g. .replace(/./g, '') and match against that. It works, but it seems rather inefficient.Is there a simple and direct way to do this with jQuery?

JQuery :: Select All / Select None *text* Links In A Form That Call A Jquery Function To Select All Or Select No Checkboxes?

Jun 16, 2011

I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:

<head>
$(function() {
//function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....

Unicode Characters

Aug 2, 2007

Problem:

Depending on an input value, I would like to output greek characters
(f. e. those between U+03B1 to U+03C9. One way would be to define two
arrays: one with the possible input values ("abgde...") and a second
array with the corresponding values ("u03b1u03b2u03b3...").

But I hoped I could skip the second by a computation, f.e. "g" has
index 2 in the first array, so output "u03b1"+2.

This does not work (of course). But do I have a chance to "compute"
the output value?

Getting Div Width In Characters

Nov 18, 2005

I have a bordered div with some text in it. Some of the text is one long string and thus runs outside of the div. The div stretches out to the width of the browser window so that long string of text runs all the way out past the edge of the scrollbar.

Is there a way I can use JavaScript to detect the width of the div from the edge of one border to the next and then convert that number into the number of characters that can fill that width?

Replacing Characters

Mar 6, 2006

I have a script which gathers information from a form and, if needed, writes this info to a 'preview' window. At times {tokens} are used in place of real html tags. How can I tell the script to look for "{" and "}" and replace them, respectively, with "<" and ">".

I tried using "str = str.replace(/{/g, "<").replace(/}/g, ">");" but that didn't work. The script in question is being written by PHP... thus, may be generating a syntax-based failure. Any ideas?

Do Not Allow Certain Characters In Text Box?

<script language=javascript>

var anum=/(^d+$)|(^d+.d+$)/

Limiting Characters In A Text Box

Jul 23, 2005

I have a input filed of type "textbox" into which I am expecting to get
currency values (ie. 199.99). Is there a way that I can restrict the
user to only entering 2 values after the decimal point?

I can restrict the maxlength to 5, but that wouldn't stop the user from
type in 1.987.

Showing Illegal Characters

Jul 23, 2005

I am building a web page to show a TCP/IP raw packet.

I need to show "special characters" on the web page I am working on.
When I say "special characters" i am talking about tabs, whitespace,
crazy unicode characters, etc etc.

What is the best way to present this to the user?

I am thinking that a large textarea is the only way to display it so it
retains all the special characters.

Russian Characters In A Cookie

I need to set a cookie containing a Russian character string as the

Representing [ And ] Characters In Function

Oct 17, 2007

i have checkbox to call function

<INPUT TYPE = "checkbox" NAME = "AttributeValue[1]" VALUE = "Yes"

The function itself has this:

if (form.AttributeValue[1].checked) {

(more script) }

That doesn't work because I believe it is interpreting the [ ] characters
as representing array (I think).

How is syntax for AttributeValue[1] as literal value in function?

Does this make sense?

Displaying Special Characters In A <div>

Jul 20, 2005

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:

function show(divbox)
{
divbox.style.display=''
}

<div id="divbox" style="display:none" >
<form action="action.php" method="post>
<textarea name ="txt">Text</textarea>
</form>
</div>

If the Text in the textarea is for instance
HERE IS A "QUOTE"

it works fine, while
HERE IS A 'QUOTE'
produces an error

<br>-tags works fine, but
<p>-tags doesn't

Treating Special Characters

Jul 20, 2005

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 &amp;
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 &amp; 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);

What I see on the output is: "Body &amp; Soap"

What I should see is: "Body & Soap"

Anyone know how to get around this?

Removing Unwanted Characters

Jul 20, 2005

In a web based form I am able to make sure that there is text in an input field but I want to restrict the user from using such characters as ~ # & '

How can I modify this JavaScript below to enable this ?

if (document.form1.ProjectTitle.value == ""){
alert("Please complete the Project Title: field")
document.form1.ProjectTitle.focus()
validFlag = false
return validFlag
}

When entering the project title into another system it issues an error when those characters are input - hence the need to delete them from the request.

Count The Number Of Characters

Feb 24, 2009

I want to count the characters in a string. The problem here is, the 'return key' i.e if 'enter key' should be counted as 2 instead as 1 character.

I tried few logics but none of them worked out. I tried with php ajax too. It worked fine in firefox but not in IE.

Here is the logic i used. When onkeyup call the js function.. which calls the php page by passing the string as encodeURIComponent(str).

Now, I took the string in php and counted the in the string and added the no of occurrence of to the string length.

My concern is, IE is returning 3 for return key instead of 2.
