Unexpected Result When Used Onsubmit="alert(this.action)"
Jan 10, 2009
I have a form which I need submit using ajax. I already got all the needed query from that form, but when I tried get the action address I got [object HTMLInputElement] instead of expected address blah.php.
Here is a quick example to demonstrate this behavior:
Code:
The problem is that I named the button as "action" and this.action is returning the button object instead of the action of the form.
I can't remove the form element with name "action" from that form because of the script that accepts the data, but I need get somehow the form's action (url).
In the below, I would expect this to return the number of milliseconds since the epoch. Instead, it's generating a massive negative number. I presume I've gone wrong with the set[Blah] methods.
javascript Code:
var date_text = '2009-03-06 12:00:00'; var d_tried = new Date(); d_tried.setYear(parseInt(date_text.substr(0,3))); d_tried.setMonth(parseInt(date_text.substr(5,6))); d_tried.setDate(parseInt(date_text.substr(8,9)));
I can't seem to get this to work. I have a form here: [URL] When the user hits sumbit, I want it to validate first, and then IF the validation passes, THEN have an alert window come up with an OK button. Why isn't it working? The validate function ends like this:
I want to display three sets of images on a Web page, and I want to use only one jcarousel to do it. I want to change the list of images based on the user clicking on one of three links, each representing a set of images. How do I do this? I know I can edit the DOM to modify the list of items, but how do I call jcarousel's reload() function? I thought of using three instances of jcarousel, but that takes up too much screen space and requires the user to scroll too much.
I have a form on a web page, with one field to enter a code, to search for a property.On clicking 'submit' I want to be able to run a script asynchronously in the background.The script will need to run a MYSQL statement which will have one of these results:
1. The property code does not exist, so display a Javascript Alert saying it does not exist.
2. The property is for sale, so call an existing javscript function 'saleSubmit(propertyCode)' to overwrite the exsiting web page with a new page sale.php for that property code
3. The property is for rent, so call an existing javscript function 'rentSubmit(propertyCode)' to overwrite the exsiting web page with a new page rent.php for that property code
My slills are in PHP and MySQL and I have no knowledge of tools like Ajax, jQuery and I am currently having problems getting my head around it. I have spent ages visiting lots of websites looking for examples on how to do this with little success.
this is a homework project which kind of works but isn't perfect. My tutor said the result must be an alert but I ended up with a document.write instead.He said it was fine but I'd like to know how to make it alert the result if anyone can help.FWIW I tried making the contents of the for loop into a variable without success.
I think this one will appear in our finals but no one seems to help me.. always getting error.. a 3 radio buttons and will appear the result on alert or popup? something like YOU SELECTED: "___"
I want to give a warning to user when she tries to navigate away from the page. So I am using a 'Confirm' dialogue. Pressing cancel should stop her from leaving the page.
This is my function which is called from the onUnload of the body tag of the page. code...
When I click on 'Cancel' button (part of the form within the same page), then this code is called and if I press cancel in the dialogue, user stays on same page.
However, I press any outside link, which takes user to some other page, then pressing cancel in the dialogue doesn't stop user moving away from the page.
If my php variable, (which is retrieved from a mysql table in the php code, not shown) is equal to "1", that means the member is not eligible to submit the form, so I want an alert() to say "member not eligible!". Else, I want it to continue to submit the form. Here is my code (which I can't seem to get to work):
<head> <script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script> //this first script is for something else, to check the max length of characters in a text area <script type="text/javascript"> function ismaxlength(obj){ [Code]...
I have come across a very interesting problem that seems to be impossible to solve. Basically a web application that I am working on relies on a JavaScript function called go to change the input named view to the page name and submit the form. This form's type is post, so no values are included in the actual URL string. There is also another input called action and it's value is view. This is to tell the application that the user would like to view a page. The problem is because of the variables being of method post, page refreshes and back and forwards return errors because the post variables view and action aren't sent with the required data. To somewhat solve this problem I have created a feature that tells the application that if the post value page is empty then to try and get a GET var called page. To insert this var into the go javascript function I simple add this code
This line basically adds &page=[page] to the action of the form. The problem is, this code doesn't work because action is also the name of a form element. Referencing document.go.action refers to the input element named action and not to the form's action. Changing the named of the action input value is out of the question (Way to much changing of code, and possible room for error). What can I do to change the action of the form without referencing the input named action. Here is my go form and the JavaScript code:
Code: <script language="JavaScript"> var checkobj function agreesubmit(el){[code]....
i need to make it like if the button is clicked and there the agreement checkbox is not checked.. it should give an alert that the alert is not checked.. i know that would require a if and else statement but i cant figure out how to do it
Considering the following list how do I get a reference to the ul just below the li with id products? nextSibling gives me a reference to the #text# node inside the li tag?
to see the unexpected page shift in action go to http://lawlocaust.net/gamerverse/ while hovering over the banner u can use the arrow keys to navigate the UI and the page will shift in firefox

I am having a problem with internet explorer 7. I am working on a site that maps google maps to show .gpx files, and it is working fine in IE8, firefox (v2 and 3) and safari. However in IE 7 i am getting the following error when running the following line
Code JavaScript: $(document).ready(function() { initialize(); $("#player_controls a img").tooltip(); }); Line: 45 Error: Expected Identifier, string or number;
The funny thing is that initialize is a clearly and previously defined function, I had some problems before with IE due to variables being out of scope, so I am afraid this may be something related, but I am not very familiar with IE inner workings so,
JSON.parse: unexpected end of dataat line var data = JSON.parse(json);Is the syntax correct?the code used is:For the code below i am getting this error :
I am trying to set a function to be called on the change event of some textboxes with the classes "vii_year1", "vii_year2", "vii_year3", and "vii_year4".
Here is the code:
$(document).ready( function() { for (var i = 1; i <= 4; i++) { var year = i + '';
I'm using jquery-1.3.2.min.js and everything works perfectly in browsers other than Explorer... It's not liking this part:
this.appendChild(E) function(){return this.domManip(arguments,true,function(E){if(this.nodeType==1){this.appendChild(E)}})} ... } I get this error:Unexpected call to method or property access. jquery-1.3.2.min.js, line 12 character 2305
This error ONLY occurs in IE. "Unexpected call to method or property access." I pinpointed it to this line: o.appendChild(e);
The full function is: function aO(d, t, src, p, id ){ alert('aO has begun.'); var o, e, i; if (!ie){ o = cE('object');o.data = src; } else { o = cE('embed');o.src = src; } .....
I am experiencing unexpected behavior using $(document).ready() on a page where I inject jQuery after the page has loaded and then attach listeners to the ready event. The ready() event is never called using Firefox and Safari however it is called using IE. Is this a jQuery bug? Is it working as designed?
