So for whatever reason the convertToArray function in the following code returns false if the argument is more than 1 character long. If it's 1 character long it just returns the character as an array with only one value.What I'm trying to do is take a string of numbers, plus signs, and minus signs and convert it to an array.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to write a function that is being invoked when some one clicks the submit button on the form.<form name="sectionA" action="optionpage.cfm" onSubmit="return abc()">I have three tables with initials textboxes. I want to check if they are empty and return false(stay on the same page), else go to action page.Here is what I am doing, I Created three functions tableA(), tableB(),tableC() call them from function abc(). These functions tableA(), tableB(), tableC() return false if one of the field is empty and stop furthur processing and remain in the same page. If none(errors), then go the other page.i.e if table B has empty fields, page should stop furthur processing and remain in the same page.Here is how I am doing it Can somebody please point out what I am doing wrong here.Even when there is empty field, the code moves me to the actionPage.

I am wondering about what seems to be a particular quirk in Javascript
that does not allow form event listeners (e.g. "onsubmit=...") to work
properly. In the code below, I would like to set up a function
(doOnSubmit) that is called when the form is submitted.
But there is a "return false;" in the "onclick" of the button. If this
"return false" is removed, the code works as I would hope it would.
With it there, doOnSubmit is never called. Code:
On this page I'm given the impression that stopPropagation is a lot
like returning false:
http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/events/default3.asp
"preventDefault() Can be used to cancel the event, if it is
cancelable. This prevents the browser from performing any default
action for the event, such as loading a URL when a hypertext link is
clicked. Note that the event will continue propagating along the normal
event flow.preventDefault() Can be used to cancel the event, if it
is cancelable. This prevents the browser from performing any default
action for the event, such as loading a URL when a hypertext link is
clicked. Note that the event will continue propagating along the normal
event flow."
But often, if I want to stop a hyperlink from working normally, I can
simply return false from whatever action I've attached to that
hyperlink. Suppose I have this link:
<a id="link1" href="index.htm">link text</a>
Suppose I attach the function "alertDanger" to this link:
function alertDanger() {
alert("Danger!");
return false;
}
Because I return false, the default behavior doesn't occur. Would there
ever be a benefit to doing this instead:
function alertDanger() {
alert("Danger!");
preventDefault();
}
Perhaps preventDefault is only for those occassions when the code can
not or should not return?
I am building a page with a member login system on the home page. I right now have it so that if the user does not enter a password or username it will change a div to block style and show the error at the top of the page. Is it possible to after 5000 msec after returning false to the form, to hide the div again?
User Does Not Enter Username/Pass
Submit Button Pressed
Error Div Is Shown
Form Results False
5000msec Wait
Error Div Is Hidden
I have been trying for a while, but I either have it disappear and the form takes 5 seconds to get its result, or the form returns false and the div does not disappear.
I have a simple example below showing how when I pass in the value of the value attribute of option node, and then use if operator to check whether parameter is a string or not, even though it's a string, it converts it to false boolean and triggers the else statement rather than calling a function.callback should be a string so why is it saying otherwise?

Have an issue with using $.ajax for requests. If I set async: false it works fine, but sometimes gets cached content. If I add in cache: false then async doesn't work anymore, the next ajax request gets called before the first one finishes.

if i group some javascript into a function that returns false; how could i carry that 'false' out of the function so it can be used outside the function.the example below shows the validate function checks for a condition then returns false if it is met. i want this false to then be passed out of the function to then throw an error in its containing function. (goal to prevent the submitting of a form)i dont want the proceed function to be called, so how can the other function prevent this.Now i realise that the validate function could be incorporated into the top level function but, my form will eventually be quite large with a multiplitude of fields so i need to know how i can call back to functions and use them as objects insteasd of repeating lots of code.

Why is my function returning the wrong value??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a little problem in one of my functions, I would like to pass in a form field name and set the value to something that is passed in. here is my code:
function pickitem(id,type){
opener.document.getElementById("form").type.value = id;
window.close()
}
so i'm passing in an id and a formfield e.g. txtName The problem is with the type.value - i haven't touched javascript for ages so i'm really rusty!!
I'm attempting to simplify my javascript code when it comes to ajax, but afterwords it only prints 'undefined' to the screen rather than what I want it to print.
I want to be able to put something like this on my main page onclick="document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = print_output();" where print_output() is the ajax function. This way I don't have to use a function to assign values directly to innerHTML and I don't have to muck about with a js file whenever I want to change my page layout.
To do this, I created a recursive function:
function print_output(return_value) {
if a value has been passed to the function, simply return it
if(return_value || return_value == 0) {
return return_value;
}
[Code].....
but like I said, it prints 'undefined' out to the screen. Why isn't this printing the contents that it receives from 'index.php' like it's supposed to?
The code is below but basically I have two global variables, then I have a function and then a function within that, I am simply trying to update these global variables from within the nested function so i can then go on and use them in another function! this sounds like quite a straight forward request to me, but maybe it can not be done? When I do an alert on the variables (after I have apparently updated their values) I get 'undefined'!
Code JavaScript:
var resultLatB;
var resultLngB;
function getLatLngFromTown(town, callbackFunction) {
var localSearchB = new GlocalSearch();
localSearchB.setSearchCompleteCallback(null,
function() {
if (localSearchB.results[0]){
resultLatB = localSearchB.results[0].lat;
resultLngB = localSearchB.results[0].lng;
pointA = resultLatB;
pointB = resultLngB;
//THIS WORKS
alert("Test 1 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 1 = " + resultLngB);
}});
localSearchB.execute(town + ", UK");
//DOESN'T WORK... SHOULD IT?
alert("Test 2 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 2 = " + resultLngB);
}
getLatLngFromTown("oxfordshire",null);
//I WANT THIS TO WORK!
alert("Test 3 = " + resultLatB);
alert("Test 3 = " + resultLngB);
Here is a clip of code from a script project im working on. Now my document.getElementsByTagName is returning a "undefined" value.
<a href="[URL]" style="text-decoration: none; color: #EDDBAF; font-size: 16px;">
<center style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<font style="color: #EDDBAF; font-size: 16px;" id="title"></font>
</center></a>
<li id="name"><a http="[URL]" style="color: blue;">John Doe</a></li>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pname = document.getElementById('name').getElementsByTagName('a');
Now if I remove the ".getElementsByTagName('a')" it will actually work, but it also includes the <a> tag thats within the <li> tag, which I don't want.
document.getElementById('title').innerHTML=pname.innerHTML;

I have several functions with code along the lines of:
var xmlDoc = requestXML("ajax.asp?SP=SelectRelatedTags&tag=" +
array[i]);
The requestXML() function includes the code:
var xmlDoc = null;
http_request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
if (http_request.status == 200) {
xmlDoc = http_request.responseXML;
} else {
alert('There was a problem with the request.' +
http_request.status);
}}};
http_request.open('GET', url, true);
http_request.send(null);
return xmlDoc;
However, the last line (the return) executes before the readyState
reaches 4. How do I return the xmlDoc to the functions only once the
xmlDoc has been assigned? I tried putting the return statement in a
while loop with the condition that the readyState must = 4 - this
worked, but makes the browser popup a message saying the script is
slowing down the system.
I know this is a simple question with a simple answer, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around it.Sorry for the infantile nature of this post. Anyhow, I am making an AJAX call via JQuery and need the function to return a value from a calling function, like so:

I have a weird bug that's occuring in pretty much all the browsers. If I close the tab, and then hit Ctrl -> Shift -> T to bring it back the width() method returns 0 on an appended image instead of what the image actually is. Hitting refresh on the tab removes this bug and everything works fine. I will also say that trying
.css('width') and
document.getElementById('divShadowLeft');
Both also return 0 for this bug.
I can't show all the code for security reasons, but I'll just outright ask.. what are the reasons that width() would return 0 on an image? I've checked to make sure that it was visible (both display and visibility properties), and I checked the length of the property to ensure it was there. I just can't figure out why width() is returning 0.
Here's a code snippet:
$(this).append('<img src="'+defaults["imagePath"]+defaults["imageLeft"]+'" alt="" id="'+defaults["imageClass"]+'Left" class="'+defaults["imageClass"]+'" style="" />');
alert('Length: '+$('#divShadowLeft').length+' | Width: '+$('#divShadowLeft').width()+' | Visible: '+$('#divShadowLeft').css('visibility'));
I have a setup where I have a function, calling a function, calling a function. All functions do what they're supposed to do, but they don't return to the first function when all is done, so it doesn't display an alert that it's supposed to.
For those that don't want to look through tons of code and think they might know what I'm doing wrong, here's the "coles notes" version. code...

The practical scenario is I have several functions attached to the jQuery ajaxSucess event. Each function needs to execute once during initial load and after when the JQuery ajaxSuccess event is fired. So I am just looking to see if I can eliminate a a few lines of code and learn something new in the process, that is really all.
