Calling A Function With Prototype Property - Alert Message Returns In One Instance: 'someAnimal Is [Mammal "Mr. Biggles"]'
Jun 12, 2010
In the below code, the alert message returns in one instance: 'someAnimal is [Mammal "Mr. Biggles"]' I don't understand how this is possible. We pass as an argument 'Mr. Biggles' to the Mammal constructor. Then assign it to the object name property. But then it ends there. There is a function called toString which will return the alert. But the toString function is not being called like this: alert('someAnimal is '+someAnimal.toString()); If it was like how it is above, it would make sense to me but now it makes no sense to me because I don't see where that toString() is being called - I only see that it is prototyped to the Mammal object.
Code:
function Mammal(name){
this.name=name;
this.offspring=[];
}
Mammal.prototype.haveABaby=function(){
var newBaby=new Mammal("Baby "+this.name);
this.offspring.push(newBaby);

This JS code is on RoR+ImgMap site.I've tweak several portion of ImgMap, specifically around line 2205 of the file imgmap.js by adding code.so that when the user draws a shape, the focus will be set to the respective href field, instead of the default behavior - adding new row(imgmap form).
I have simple function that I call from an alert box
alert(testScore);
It works fine. Unfortunately, I do not like the sound and Exclamation point icon that appears. I'd like a nice message box like VBA message box #64 to appear. I know hardly anything at all about VB or VBA. But, I do know you can call a VB function from Javascript. How? Is it possible to get my testScores to appear from the VB function? Is it hard? Where do I start looking?
I have a simple form here with a function to validate it, but I have no idea where I'm going wrong. I'm very familiar with ActionScript and C++, so I get the coding aspect of it, but one thing I'm not familiar with is how exactly JavaScript and HTML communicate. The problem is that this form always submits, even if my function returns false...but I can't even see if it returns false anyway, because alert() doesn't seem to be working either.
I am currently doing a fadein and fadeout function using jquery. When I click on a <a>, the page will fade in. There is an alert message (which is the javascript alert()) prompt out on the page once the page fade in. However, I want to fade out the page when I click the "OK" in the alert message.
I've tried but cannot success..
$('alert').click( function(){ $('#fade , .popup_block').fadeOut(function() { $('#fade, a.close').remove(); //fade them both out
I am using the featured content slider, where i want 2 sliders on the same page. when i call more than one time the first one is working and not the second one.

I've ammended my code now so that I'm using objects, constructors and prototypes.
If I use the standard constructor.prototype.functionname = (){......} type of setup it works okay.
However I'm now experimenting with overwriting the prototype with a literal. As in the code below. i.e. constructor.prototype = {functionname : function() .......
Doing it this way my first new object instance fails. The subsequent new objects are fine.
I ran a check on the properties of the 1st object with '!hasOwnProperty and name in' and the result is that the prototype (or pointer to a prototype) is missing.
So the first new object of FontTrans (oH) has
Code: 1 property is Heading . . 9 property is Delay
looking for some help regarding responseText, so please have a look :) im so mad right now because i have been struggeling for hours :(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText returns correct value when i do alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); see linevar fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); };But problem is that i want to save down the response to a variable... so i try to change it into var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { varTest = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText; };When i try to alert varTest later i get "Undifined"... im pretty new to javascript and have been stuck for hours ...See full code below
var myConn = new XHConn(); if (!myConn) { alert("XMLHTTP not available. Try a newer/better browser."); } var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); };
I had read from books that the constructor property of object is inherited from its prototype. And the prototype can be changed dynamically. New property can be added to or deleted from object even it was created before the prototype change.
According to ECMAScript, the root of the prototype chain is Object.Prototype. Each object has an internal property [[Prototype]] that could be another object or NULL.... However, it also says that every function has the Function prototype object: Function.Prototype, it confused me, because a function is an object, for a function object, what is its function prototype and object prototype..For example:
var x = function (n) {return n+1;};
what is the relationships of x, Object.Prototype and Function.Prototype
I am trying to get to the bottom of javascript object, prototypes etc. I have a fairly good grasp of it, but I get confused the closer I get to the base object.prototype. FIrst of all, I was under the impression that all objects descend directly from Object. But some objects (like Array) seem to inherit properties and methods from the function.prototype. So does this mean that the chain is like this:
object -- function -- array Second, I noticed (on the mozilla javascript reference site that object.prototype inherits properties and methods from function.prototype and vice versa!? How can this be? I must be missing something important about understanding the chain?
I've previously written an image carousel with lightbox and to be honest forgot about it for quite a long time. I've just been tasked with making a few modifications (I wrote this code about 6 months ago)
Now, the problem I have is that I now need to call the internal method from the ligthbox plugin.
I've tried setting a reference to this like this but it just won't play ball. I can see that the ajax feed gets called but unfortunately I can't then access it.
When using the code below the alert returns a value of null. In the past this has never happened, it has always returned the xml file I'm requesting. I have noticed a strange difference between browsers. This script is used to fill a form automatically. In its current state it works perfectly in opera, but does not work in firefox or IE (used to work in all the browsers). I'm by no means a javascript expert, am I missing something here?
... but that doesn't work. It seems as though if the first selector returns no elements that the 2nd line is not executed. I might be wrong about the diagnosis, but the symptom is that I can show the log, but can't then hide it, whereas if I start with all the panels visible and remove the first selector, the hideLog event is triggered as expected.What does work is this:
I have a following string: var myHTML = "<html><body>testing hope this work in html</body></html>"; alert($(myHTML).children("body").html()); Why does the alert return NULL, instead of "testing hope this work in html" ???
I am in the process of learning javascript and I've been looking at this code for the longest time ever. So far I got most of it done. For example I leave all the required fields empty, it gives me the alert message of the first field and not the alert messages of all the others. What I want to know is how can you go through and check the whole form first before submitting and then when there is any error on any field, shows just one alert message containing all the error messages.
Code for the form <form action="mailto:hummdedum@felloff.com" method="post" name="form" onSubmit="return isFormValid();"> * First Name: <input type="text" name="FName" id="FName" onblur="checkFName();"/><label id="labelFName"></label><br /> * Last Name: <input type="text" name="LName" id="LName"onblur="checkLName();"/><label id="labelLName"></label><br />
I am taking classes in the: <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="semester" value="fall" /> fall time<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="semester" value="spring" /> Spring time <br />
My favorite element is: <select name="element" id="element"> <option value="">select one</option> <option value="fire">Fire</option> <option value="earth">Earth</option> <option value="water">Water</option> <option value="air">Air</option> </select><br />
I want to also validate birthday.. and I tried using regular expression with leap years but the expression is too hard for me to think of. So I am gonna try using split() but I don't know and for the clear button. Since I blur functions, how would I just clear all the blur statements = like a restart of the form and then when the user enters the field the blur function still works?
I got some code which works fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE.
I get following error message: "Object doesen´t support this property or method."
Here are parts of the code:
Request:
In the Function Line 20 the error starts. But it seems that the code is still executed. If I comment this line out - no error message appears but the code doesen´t work anymore.
I have a classified listing application (php) that shows an alert message on the main page to let the user know if there was an error, if the listing was entered, if a required field was left blank, etc.
the alert msg. displays whenever the page is loaded. However, if someone navigates with the forward or back buttons in the browser, or reloads the page, the alert message displays again.
I am pulling my hair out for a solution that shows the alert only once and then does not show an alert again until a new message is generated.
I have been looking all over the web for a solution, because my website displays funky in safari. To fix this i figured i'd tell users that if they are using safari, then using javascript, i could tell them a message. Originally i tried detecting safari then displaying a message. But i couldn't ever find a browser detection for safari. So i thought wait.... If i could:
1. get a javascript alert saying my message. 2. time that message alert frequency by a session, say 10 days? or even every browser session...
Before the user can close a page, I would like to have a message come up that asks if this is really what they want to do. the page needs to stay open.
I got this, edited, from msdn function closeIt() { event.returnValue = ""; } <body onbeforeunload="closeIt()" >
It works just fine, too well. I get the message when the user refreshes the page, something I do not want. Any thoughts?
