Splitting Textarea Value Into An Array
Jan 28, 2010
I need to take the text in a textarea, split it into an array, and have the items in the array be added to a dropdown menu. When I try to split the value of the textarea (which, by the way, contains comma-delimited text) into an array, the array invariably ends up with only one item in it, and that item contains the entire contents of the textarea all jammed together with the commas removed.
The offending code:
Code:
In my test page, the text area (DownListTextBox) contains "yes,no" and when the alert fires it shows that the array has a length of 1. The Option added to the dropdown list has a text of "yesno". So, what did I do wrong?

I'm just fooling around trying to make a simple ChatterBot. And I'm using IE to make a simple database of Answers and Sentences. Problem is it's acting odd when it's spliting into an array. In Answer.txt I have "Hello, *UserName*." (Which I will use the replace() to change that later.) And in Sentence.txt I have.... I always use "Hello." as the message. It's suppose to compare the message with the sentences... Both lowercased and symbols removed. But it doesn't seem to work just right when coverting the Text file to array.

I've written this javascript that puts lines of text into a readonly textarea, each line ends with a newline character. I have a function that checks that no duplicates exist, it does this by splitting the textarea by newlines into an array. This works as it should in Firefox, but not in IE. Code:

I have a section of javascript that declares a global variable for a few functions, like this incomplete code
Code:
The above, in its full version, changes the text in a textarea. In my php code, if I include the above code above the textarea, it all works as expected.
The problem is that I may have more than one textarea - the number cannot be known beforehand. If I include the above before each textarea, the pointer gets confused as to which string belongs to which textarea since the global variables get redefined many times. In php, this would be a simple problem to solve with a mutildimensional array but, from what I understand, javascript doesn't have such arrays.
Someone can provide a solution that will allow me to use the same block of code over and over in the same file.

I am looking to have the user input a word into a textbox then when the user hits an "Add" button, the word is stored to an array and then is displayed in a table. I also want the textbox to clear after the "Add" button is pressed. Next, I want the user to be able to input another word into the textbox and when the "Add" button is pressed, have that word stored to same array as the first word but just to a different number.ingredient(0)=first word; ingredient(1)=second word. Then I want the second word to be displayed right below the first word in the table, in the next line down.This is what I have so far.[URL]...

I'm trying to add the text of a textarea form to the string that's contained at:
myarray[a][b][c]
It was easy to pull out the value of the textarea with this:
textinput = $('#mytextarea').val();
But then when I try to add the variable into the array, it doesn't work. I'm not able (apparently) to do this. Fingers crossed that I'm doing something dumb?
This doesn't work:
myarray[a][b][c] += newstringvariable;
Nor this:
myarray[a][b][c] = myarray[a][b][c] + textinput;
I'm guessing there is a very simple (probably syntax related!) solution to this. I'm open to doing this via jQuery or regular javascript.

I have no experience with Javascript at all, and this is probably tricky without the full code, but I'll give it a try anyways:
I have a page with two dropdowns (date and month), which generates a (0,0) value, (date,month).
I need to input those two values separately in two different locations in a generated URL. How can I split up the keys-result, instead of it being (0,0)?
CODE GENERATING URL;
PARTIAL CODE FROM DROPDOWN;
Can I maby add something to the "result.keys"-string to point to the "var days / var month"?

I am making a form using HTML and java where you enter a number and it uses an equation then spits out another number. My problem is I want to split the number you put into the form and add it up. Example You enter"457829"Press "convert"And the first step I want it to do is"4+5+7+8+2+9=sumA"Then"sumA/8"So far I can only do the sumA/8 if I manually add up the numbers then place the sum in the form, here's the code:
Code:
{
var a = parsefloat(form.NumA.value, 10);

I'm writing this web app.For each view, when required, I'll have one or more script files named after the view. Some functions are shared across the site. So I extracted and put them into separate .js files. Some views may have sub-views (such as the login box).
And I ended up with 10 <script> tags per page (includes 3 jquery must-haves). Although in some pages I can lower it to 6, I still think this is a pretty big number, as lots of extra HTTP transaction is required when loading the page.
I put the <script> tags at the end of the page, before closing <body>. Most scripts didn't use $(document).ready().
So is it bad to have 10 <script> tags on each page? Is there a magic number I should never surpass? Is it a good idea to put lots of (unrelated) functions into a single .js?
And is it bad to have scripts executing at the end of the page rather than $(document).ready ?

I'm using ajax to store values from a form into MySQL. The form contains a text field named "title" and the method I'm using to fetch and pass on the data to the backend is shown below:
_data = "title=" + $( '#title' ).val();
$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "POST",
url: "backend.php",
dataType: "json",
data: _data,
success: function( json ) { .... }
}});
The method works fine for normal text, say "This is a sample text". However, if an ampersand is used in the title text (example: "This & That"), the post value is being truncated at the ampersand. In effect, the & in it is causing the string to be split up into two segments and the
part after the & is being treated as a variable,
i.e. instead of passing
title = This & That
What is being passed is,
title = This
That =

I am trying to understand somecode. I don't think I am understanding everything correctly. Can someone confirm or add to my understanding?
Here is the code, below is my explanation:
- CODE 1 - is saying if the the class subnav_dd is called on an anchor tag on a li, then make the function in the if statement "live". (Live in a sense binds the function to the condition, but unlike bind it allows the condition to be used more then once. ) So if the class subnav_dd is the parent, and has a class of .dis then prevent anything below it from firing. CSS - If code 1 is true, then I will only get the first li to fire, the remaining ones will not.
- CODE 2 - This one is a little tricky. Function ToggleOptions takes 3 variables (target, array, state). The condition is if the div subnav + target have siblings, then check to see how many siblings are there. Put the amount of siblings into an array, then check the state of each sibling. I don't completely the rest of it.
I think if the div subnav is called and something is found in the array then the class dis is either added or removed. Then what? I don't understand why I still need the else that adds a class to #subnav_ +.target
