I've been having a lot of trouble trying getting the following code to work, all the examples that I have seen tell me that it should, but it doesn't and i'm out of ideas.
if (parent.input_frame.input_form.cheque_number.value.search(/./) != -1)
{
alert('The cheque number is invalid.');
parent.input_frame.input_form.cheque_number.select();
return;
}
What I want it to do is alert the user that the cheque number they have entered is invalid if it contains a period / full stop / dot.
The problem is that it always says the cheque number is invalid no matter what the user enters.
I have spent the last hour or two trying a number of things using just about all the regex functions and examples in the JavaScript book I have and examples from other posts on this site, but still cannot get it to work.
If you could let me know what I am doing wrong or provide me with an example of another way to do this that would be great.
Browser is Internet Explorer, have tried /D/ as the regex too, but this did not trigger the alert when a number with a dot was entered.
I've got this listbox full of hundreds of employee names. Clicking on a name executes a function using onchange. Because of the length of the list I decided a search function would be really handy and I finally found one that works.
Now the search function, when you type in the input box, scrolls the list to the first matching entry. And that's good, that's what I wanted.
The problem comes in when you try to click on the name the search function found. Nothing happens ofcourse because the onchange tag in the list reacts to changes, not direct clicks.
code:
The list is populated by java but for testing I disabled the function that clears the "Loading" option and I set it to selected. That way the loading option is highlighted by default and the search function is free to highlight something else, then when I click on the search result it works like it's supposed to.
But keeping a highlighted option at the top of the list for that sole purpose isn't very elegant, especially since if you click on it the onchange function tries to execute and generates errors. The only solution I can think of is to use java to generate another option way at the bottom of the list that has the selected attribute but I don't quite know how to do that.
I load into a div on index.php page via AJAX another php page. Once that page loads, I lose all the function of that page. For example, I click on the search or submit button and nothing happens.
I am trying to create a site using mostly PHP and MySQL and I have integrated some AJAX functions into the site to load new PHP pages into a DIV called "dynamic" on the index.php page without having to reload the entire page. This is working great.
However, when I use the menu with the following hyperlink <a href="javascript: addContent('sample.php', 'dynamic')"> calling the AJAX code to load the sample.php page inot the the DIV dynamic, the sample.php pages loads into the DIV but the PROBLEM is that the submit, and or search functions on the sample.php page stop working.
I believe that this has something to do with using the AJAX code because it is Asynchronous. Perhaps I need to use live or event delegation.
Since I am new to webdevelopment and trying to learn best practices if anyone knows a good way to load PHP forms into a DIV on perhaps a index.php page and then have the form controls still work.
Also I have been using NuSphere PhpED for an IDE which has helped me step through PHP and MySQL code to solve problems real well. However, I would like to get a recommendation on a IDE to use with Java Script and AJAX. Part of my problem with resolving this issue is that I can't step through the code to see what is not happening..
I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.
I created a search where I use AJAX to send a request to a MYSQL database using PHP. I am able to get the two to talk. You can click the search button and the "results" will display. The problem is that it is every piece of data from the database. It is currently performing a search based off the words typed in the form. Below is my HTML and my PHP.
HTML:
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I need to modify the searchBlog() function so that the user is prompted, "Search rest of blog?" after a hit. If the user indicates yes, continue the search, otherwise exit the search.
how to add a confirm box after the search has been initialized and found a hit, and how to make it continue searching and display results...
// Search the list of blog entries for a piece of text function searchBlog() { var searchText = document.getElementById("searchtext").value; for (var i = 0; i < blog.length; i++) {
I have written a JS search function. I want it to work with IE, Firefox, Opera and Windows Safari. At this point it is working in all four of these browsers except for one feature: if the word I'm searching for is at the bottom of the textarea (not in the visible text) then the search function will not scroll the text up so that the find is visible.
I should quickly say that this does work in IE but not in the other three browsers. I'm at a loss as to how to get the textarea to scroll the found word into view in FF, Opera and Safari.

I have completed the necessary function and it does not need any changes however from the "alert" I need there has to be double quotes surrounding the search 'Lboro'. (I know I may be making a meal of the coding however the lecturer wants us to follow this due to everyone being at different levels of programming). I have used the '' character however the double quotes do not end up in the position I require them?!
My Coding function findAnyU (s){ var a = s , b , c , d , e = -1; for (var i = 0 ; i < pages.length && e == -1 ; i++){ b = pages[i].indexOf('['); c = pages[i].indexOf(']'); d = pages[i].substring(b+1, c).toLowerCase(); e = d.indexOf(s.toLowerCase()); }
if(e >= 1) a += ' found' else a += ' not found' return (a) } alert (findAnyU('Lboro' , pages)); Current Alert = Lboro found
I am working on form validation, i want to validate "Name" input field value . I want that in "Name" input field no number can be input.
Is there any function which search number/s from string ?? i.e if user inputs any number in that field with string i can display error message(Name can't be alpha numeric).
is it possible to combine the the following functions with each other in an array for example and if so, would someone be kind enough to show me how. the reasons are 1. to see if it is at all possible and 2. to learn so that I can combine further possibilities in the future. the first script compares user keywords from search mashines and the second replaces certain strings/paterns with others.
I need to embed google maps to my website with a search function for postcodes to see if franchise or lessons in their areas are available. ?any thought where I could go. Iv had a look at some google websites and bout this but nothing clear as to how to add coding what types files etc. im sure most of it is in javascript
outputting the results from a javascript search function onto a new page. Right now I am using a javascript search script on 7 pages and it works but the results overwrite the current page that the search was initiated from. I would like it to open a new page and print out into a specific area. Im not really proficient in js, tho I know enough to get by. since ive been grinding my gears at work trying to get this to display right. I'll post the code tomorrow morning when I get to work so you can see the function.
I have to create a dynamic html block that can hide and show text, anchor tag is used to hide/show the block, which is also dynamically generated, so I have to call anchor's tag click event using live function, but within that click event I have to look up for immediate next div control which will hide/show. my code is somewhat like below I am comment the line of code which is not working
$("a").live("click", function(e) { var $nextElement = $(this).next("div");//div control is not found here, it is also dynamically generated. ($(this).html() == "[-]") ? $(this).html("[+]") : $(this).html("[-]");
If this search function is included in an include file with other functions it will run more than once if you click another function first, then come back to it to do another search.
For example if I click the next page function, then decide to click for a new search it runs more than once: Next page function:
Code: $(document).ready(function() { $('a#nextpage').click(function() { var page = $(this).attr('page'); var searchval = $(this).attr('schval'); var maxpage = $(this).attr('maxpage'); $.post("findowner.php", { p1 : searchval, page : page }, function(data){ if (data.length>0){ $("#ownerIDdiv2").html(data); } }); }); }); //end
However, if I put the first search function in a separate include file all works perfect. Why it runs multiple times if it is grouped among other functions?
I'm using the Google AJAX APIs, but some reason google.load works when run through normal javascript, but if I call the method from my jquery ready function it doesn't work. Code and output is below
window.loadFirebugConsole is not a function If I comment out line 3 in code.js, the console debug runs okay, so the ready function is running okay. Even though there's a reference to Firebug, the same error occurs in Safari too. Nothing on the page loads.
Now i just want to edit one thing, when you search for something, results are shown under the search field, when you click on each result, goes to a link.
I want when clicking on a result, not going to link, just show that result string on the search field. where should i edit in script?
I have created a similar smart search like yellowpages:[URL]... Here is the problem I have with mine:
Lets say I search 'Attorneys' I start typing 'Att' ... then 'Attorneys' shows up in the smart search so I click on it and press enter. The next time I start typing 'Att' my browsers saved search field pops up over the websites smart search. Here is an image which might help explain the problem a bit more:
I have chosen to use Google Custom Search with my website and was given the following code, my question is, how can i pass a search query from my homepage which has a standard form on there to the search page which holds this code?
I am given a search box within this code but would prefer to use my own on the homepage...
I have a website that I'm designing where I have the need to search multiple sites at specific times. By this I mean that In some cases, we would want to search only the internet using google, or only search the site that I've created (which currently uses the jse_search.js solution), or only our company's website.
I currently have four different search boxes that will search either the internet, the internal site, a separate internal site, or a third-party website, which all working fine. The problem is that the search boxes take up quite a bit of space, and the layout is becoming cumbersome. Is there a way in Javascript I could use a single search box and a drop-down list to select which method to use? The code I'm currently using is below. With the exception of the Google search function, I've modified some of the site names to general site names and paths to preserve the company's anonymity:
Code in the <head> tag: <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript" src="jse_form.js"> </script> Code in the <body> tag: <!--Begin Internal Site Search 1!-->
