I'd like to do to do something similar as document.write() but instead of creating a new document,I would like to write inisde a div. What I have is a variable with the name of a url that the client has given me from a prompt. And now I want to write that as a link inside the div.

<html>

<title>Just about everything</title>

I'm not that familiar with javascript, and I am trying to write a
toFixed function.
The function takes two arguments, the number and the number of decimal
places we're interested in.
If the number of decimal places is negative, it's interpreted as the
number of significant digits.
Thus:
toFix(12345.6789,2) -12345.67
toFix(12345.6789,0) -12345
toFix(12345.6789,-2) -12000
I've hacked up a solution that so far works on all tested browsers for
the first 2 cases.
It's the last one I'm having trouble with... How do I get only the
significant digits?
It has to work for all of the following cases:
toFix(12345.6789,-2) -12000
toFix(12345.6789,-5) -12345
toFix(12345.6789,-7) -12345.67
I'm passing a parameter to a script, which sometimes fails.
However, I discovered that the ones failing had parentheses within the
text string, e.g., "Step: Press the (0) on the console."
I've learned how to escape apostrophes, but how do I do so for parens?
Is it ( ? Also, where ' was the xml entity for apostrophe,
would someone know the one for left and right parens? Can't find that
either...not having much luck today with my searches.
is there any way to get this AJAX to be called on a button click? I know how to use buttons to call JS functions but I'm not sure where to add the open and closing parentheses with this AJAX...I've tried encasing different parts, but to no avail.So guessing I have to do something different here? I'm not sure, really new to this.And yes I've tried searching, again it's very specific and a bit vague.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#xavisys-logo').live('click', function(e) {
var r1='';[code]....
I'm sure a Google search could answer this, but I don't know what it's called, haha. Dot sytax maybe?chain methodsHow do I write a function that can be called like this:
$('p').myFunction().val('the new value');
I played around, tried this:
function myFunction() {
$(this).css({'color': 'red'});
}

I've got a glitch somewhere and it's not obvious to me. Maybe someone can spot it.My problem is that the functions seem to return values but don't display them like they should. I'm testing returned values with a function called sayvalue(item). But when I test "DelTimeCode" the function returns "[Object]". I don't understand. I get returned values from DelTime and DelTitle.My approach is to select a radio button option, return a delivery title and a delivery price from the appropriate functions then write the information. I think I'm close. Any suggestions or observations of an error in my code?I have the following VARIABLES and FUNCTIONS:
<head>
var AmtSV;
var DelTimeCode="";

I've been using the document.write function to loop through some xml and print the data within a HTMl table. I thought it would be useful to add a hyperlink to the table row, so I thought the best way to do this would to create a function (called popup), which takes an id as a parameter.
The problem with this, is that when writeing using the onClick, the speech marks seem to all get messed up.
Code:
onclick='popup('"+mailID+"')'
I'm 99% sure it's just the speech marks, i'm just not sure of the right combination, and it's doing my head in
If someone could even point me in the right direction, even the proper name as to what this is called would be great, as googleing it is proving to be a nightmare!
Here's the whole section of code if it's more useful:
Code:
var mailID = x[i].getElementsByTagName("mailid")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
if (r == "unread") { //email is unread
document.write("<tr onclick='popup('"+mailID+"')' title='test'>"); } else { //else is read, so add colour
[Code]....
Here's a simplified version of the function that's giving me trouble:
Code:
function saveArray(w){
var arr="['z',[";
[code]....
If you specify arguments when writing a function should you still declare the argument variable inside the function?
example:
Code:
or

For example I have a link that I want to when I click on it, It writes some words after the link. I have written a code but it does not work as I want and it clears all the page and writes the words. I don't want to clear the page and write just words, I want to add words after the link.
Here is my code:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function a() {document.writeln('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa');}
</script>
<a name="aaa" href="javascript:void()" onclick="a()">Click on me!</a>
Is there a way to write a custom tweening function, preferably with easing, without the use of the build in animate() function?In Javascript, it's possible to do this with an interval, but I haven't been successful in finding something similar for jquery
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to return all the permutations of a given string, so I wrote the following recursive function:
The problem is, I'm not getting all the permutations, and I don't know why.
For example, if string="bindle", the output I get is:
And then the function stops.
How would you go about writing a function that returns a string that outputs a branched bulleted list using <ul> and <li> tags of all the html elements in a page? The html elements don't all have id's or names, so I cannot reference them directly. I would like to do it recursively so that I can grab all the elements, not just those two or three levels deep.

I have what I think is a strange issue but others may see something I am missing.I am using AJAX functionality to process a php script on a server and then place the output of the script into a div element.Here is the code snippet
Code:
function doWork13(typeCode,colorBlockName,objectCategory,imgID){
httpObject = getHTTPObject();
if (httpObject != null) {[code]....
This code shown here works perfectly BUT....I do not want the alert message to be there. When I remove that line of code the script fails to function. There is no error just nothing happens.The function is to replace one image with another and the variable in question is simply the ID tag of the particular image being modified.As I said it works with the alert but does not with out, could it be a timing issue in that the alert gives enough time for the if statement in the setOutput13 function become TRUE
