In IE, it looks like you can have to many characters in a javascript function.
The content of an entire html page is put into this function...
function updateTemplate(content) {
content=content.replace(/'/g, ''');
content=content.replace(/"/g, '"');
content=content.replace(/</g, '<');
content=content.replace(/>/g, '>');
Element.update('template',content);
}
it seems to cut off the content after about 2060 characters. is that an IE thing or is there something wrong with my code. FF does it fine...
I have a custom object named #cdata-section, however I am unable to access this object and get a run time "Illegal Character" javascript error. my object looks like this:
data.news.story[i].body.#cdata-section
The pound sign is causing problems. How can I use this object in my javascript source? Right now I'm trying something like this to escape the pound sign:
I've been looking at this for a while now and I just can't get my head around it. What i need to do is put together a program which allows the user to type in a sequence of letters and then tells the user how many times they have included the letter 'a' in their sequence. So far i have put this together but the output is totally wrong at the moment and it often either just says 1 or 4. Code:
I have built a page on a recruitment website which allows users to upload their CV via ASPUpload i.e a browse button. However I want to limit the file type to just MS Word documents as I do want them uploading large PowerPoint files etc. My idea is to have some javascript which evaluates the last 4 characters of the file name to ensure it is .doc So if they try to upload anything other than a .doc file a dialogue box will appear stating that they must only upload MS Word Document (when they click the ‘Upload CV’ button).
Does anyone know how I can evaluate the last 4 characters of the file name? Once the user has browsed to their CV on their PC the path & file name will appear in a text field called ‘CV’.
Initially the form is loaded using ASP and HTML and the ü codes display the characters correctly. I have the values stored in a javascript array so that I can more easily and dynamically change the state/region dropdown when the country changes. However, when my javascript code tries to add the new option and print out new region the literal value such as "Würrtemberg" is displayed instead of the special character.
I'm trying to write a function that takes a word and adds a space between each letter e.g space becomes s p a c e. I have written below but when I call the function it says the argument is not defined.
Code: function insertSpaces(string){ var currentCharacter; var resultString; resultString = '' //a line to loop through each charcther in the string agument for (var position = 0; position < string.length; position = position + 1){ // set current characther as the first charcter in the string and add a space currentCharacter = (string.charAt(position) + ' ') //store the currentcharcter and add followng characthers resultString = currentCharacter + resultString } return resultString }
I written below javascript function to handle Unicode characters in HTML text boxes.code for & and ' ' goes into infinite loop, is there any better way to achive this ?
function handleSpecialCharacters(){ var text = document.getElementById('Article_Title').value; var text1 = ""; [code]....
I'm just wandering, how can you stop the replace() function from replacing characters inside a word, such as, if I try to replace 'x' with 'and', then my string would go from 'example, x' to 'eandample, and'.
I am having problems with the code below (obviously) coming up with illegal character for various characters within the field name which is: S_Gift Finder1_0
I have tried various ways of escaping the characters but to no avail.
I am unable to change the name of the field as it it comes from an external off-the-shelf package. Code ....
I have character counter for textarea wich counting the characters. Special character needs same place as two normal characters because of 16-bit encoding.
Counter is counting -2 when special character is added like some language specific char.
I'm working on some code and am running into brick walls. I'm trying to write out Javascript with Javascript and I've read the clj Meta FAQ and didn't see the answer, read many similar posts (with no luck though), and searched through the IRT.ORG Faqs (www.irt.org/script/script.htm).
The Javascript is designed to open an popup window and then inside that window call another script which will resize that window. There may be another way around this but the reason I tried this approach initially was that I wanted to call the onload handler in the popup window to resize the image only after the image had completely loaded. I've had some code in the primary Javascript file (showimage.js) before that works if the image has been cached but on the first load, it doesn't resize properly which tells me it is probably because it is trying to resize the window based on the image size but it isn't completely known at that point. So I removed that code and tried placing the resizing code in the second Javascript file (resizewindow.js). BTW I've tried other code to open a popup image and automatically size it ie Q1443 at irt.org but that doesn't do exactly what we need.
Even if there is another way to do this with one file, I still want to figure out why this isn't working in case I run into it in the future.
I thought what I would need to do to use document.writeln to write Javascript would be to escape any special characters and to break apart the script tag ie
document.writeln('</SCRIPT>');
would become
document.writeln('</SCR' + 'IPT>');
I have a HTML page and 2 Javascript files. All files are in the same directory and have permissions set correctly.
Here are the 3 files (keep in mind wordwrap has jacked up the formatting):
index.html ---------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="showimage.js"> </SCRIPT> </head>
<body> Click the house<BR> <A ONCLICK="newWindow1('house1.jpg','Nice House')"><IMG SRC="house1thumb.jpg"></A> </body> </html>
showimage.js ------------ function newWindow1(pic,sitename) {
resizewindow.js --------------- function resizewindow() { // Do resizing here. // Right now this isn't being executed alert("resizing window"); }
Can anyone provide some pointers as to why this javascript is failing? I'm using IE6 on Win2k and when I click on the image to open the popup window, it does open the window but it is white with no content and the system immediately goes from about 4% CPU usage to 100% and consistently stays there until I kill that window with the task manager.
I'm getting errors in Firefox everytime I try to run this frame resize code, but it works fine in IE. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is with it.
The error is: Error: theFrame has no properties Line: 8
The line that the javascript console is showing an error for is in italics.
I have some javascript that I have written into the <body> section and it works great. But I would like to make it into a javascript function and define the function in the <head> section. Then in the <body> section write a small bit of javascript that would call the function() object. Code:
I have three different web pages with different domains, and I want to show some pages of one of the webs in the others.
I use an iframe for this and it shows it good until I have to call a javascript function in the iframe inside page, I have a permission denied because the domains of these pages are different.
So, the cuestion is:
Is there some way to call the javascript function of the iframe from the parent page?
I'm working on a script(for giving points to a soccergame 0, 1 or 3 points) that give a value to a hidden field, i got a function but only works on 1 field.
I want that the function loops till all hidden fields are fill in.
I bringing up a list of movies in a separate window where each one has an "onclick" function which is suppose to call a procedure and pass in the variables and display the details of the selected record. When I click on a record nothing happens. Code:
I have a select dropdown and 5 text fields. based on the option selected (which are the units - cm/mm/inches/ft/yard etc), i change the values in the text fields using javascript to the corresponding units.
my problem is that when the options are selected very quickly(for eg using the keyboard's up/down keys) then quickly, the text field values lose their connection with the select box and the values become illegal.
I suspect that the javascript function is being called even before the earlier execution has not terminated. I tried using a global variable and using it as a lock, but still no success.
I am coding an AJAX DHTML whatever application and I was fed up with always typing a lot of appendChild() functions.
I created a custom one called append_children() and wanted to share it if anyone need such a function.
function append_children() { var a = append_children.arguments; for ( var i = a.length - 1; i > 0 ; i-- ) { try { a[i-1].appendChild(a[i]); } catch(e) { for ( var j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++ ) { append_children(a[i-1], a[i][j]); }}}}
