Change String Into Variable Name?
Jan 28, 2010So I am receiving a string with a name and I want to turn that name into a variable name.
Code:
var strName = "Name";
I want to be able to use Name as a variable.

I have a for loop: Code: for( var i = 0; i < aInput.length; i++ ) I want to use this i variable to concatonate it as a string to find an input box
Code:
var j = i;
var qualname = "discountqualifier" + j;
qualname.toString();
if ( inputName == ( qualname ) )
{
Assuming I have a input box named discountqualifier0, discountqualifier1, discountqualifier2 etc...
I'm writing a debugging script and I'm passing a function an object to iterate through:
myObject = {a:1,b:2}
debug(myObject);
I'm wondering if there is any way to get the variable's name as a string("myObject"), so something like a .name property:
function debug(obj) {
alert(obj.name); // would alert "myObject"
}
Is there any way to do this?
I want to load an html div in a variable, modify it in another variable; and then change the document injecting the contents.
1. I load the html to be changed in a variable (code)
2. I modify an attribute of <param> using attr() and I put the result in a var (newcode)
3. I change the html in the doc
I've used the debugger, and all steps give the expected results, except of newcode.html(), which is a null string. Why?

I need to look at the url, if a variable is present in the query string.
so, if my address bar looks like:
I am trying to search over a string of text to recognize any matches.Problem is that the string of text I am search with is in a variable and I don't think its working to well when putting it into a regExp.Here is what I have.
var newMessage = /myajax.responseText/;
var previous = document.getElementById("chat").innerHTML;
var matchPos = previous.search(newMessage);

Say I had a bunch of elements with id names "id1", "id2". "id3" etc. Then say I had a function that adds a click handler such that when you click these elements it gets the id name with this.attributes[1].nodeValue;Then say I had a bunch of arrays with the same names as the ids var id1 = ["data", false, 45]; var id2 = ["otherdata", true, 15]; var id3 = ["otherotherdata", null, 65];. How would I set a variable "currentid" to the array with the corresponding name as the id name? I guess the underlying question is, how would I convert a string to a variable name?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a javascript program that currently takes the contents of a *.txt file and converts it to a string-type variable using a hidden iframe.
For my pruposes it would be much nicer to read a *.csv file instead, however the method I'm using creates the "open/save file" pop-up window.
All files are client-side and in the same folder on one computer; this is NOT server-side or internet-based. It is simply javascript used in an HTA file as programming code. The *.csv does not need to be edited, just read.
I need to know how to convert the text of this *.csv file into a string variable. I have heard of using "xmlHTTPRequest (AJAX)" but am not familiar with how to use this.
I'm having trouble getting a text string into a variable:

I'm using the alert to confirm if I've managed to get the time ok from the html, it should when working display the static time but currently displays NaN which AFAIK means that javascript is getting something from the HTML but it's in a form that it can't work with.
I know that the HTML validates fine, the time display is output from PHP. The intention is that PHP will output the time, if javascript is available then the javascript will take the static time and turn it into a ticking clock.
I'll look into the main guts of the clock script at another time, right now I need to get the basics working. I need to do it something like this way as I don't want to have any javascript embeded in the HTML, I want to have the javascript in external files.
I am designing a feedback page for my website and have carried info through the url to the feedback page from a previous page. This url contains a name of an individual, in between two symbols = and &
The url of the feedback page looks something like this:[URL].... First, I have used a form to display the information so that the user can see who they have selected, ie. extract the first and last names from the url. (The script following the form extracts the name from the url so that it can be displayed by the form, not exactly sure why it does so in this particular order but it seems to work so far).
This is the code I have used to do this:
<FORM NAME="SWnamefunc">
<div align="left">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="yoyo" SIZE="35">
</div>

having trouble getting a query string/URL to append a couple of variables from a function (well, trying to get ONE working). Basically, once a user makes a selection from a form, I want the script to add the variable to the query string, which is then sent off to a PHP script. If I manually enter the 'social_housing_type' as a number in the query string, it executes properly, I just can't get it to do it from the form.

How can I use a string to select a variable?

menu[i] should reference the "login" variable and then put one of the values for the login variable array in its place. So if menu is settings then the settings array would be used.
I have three drop down menus that when changed call a simple js
function, passing a value i.e.
<SELECT name="Team" onChange="change('national');">
the function defined at the beginning is
function change(which) {
current = document.premForm.Team.selectedIndex;
document.images.premShirt.src = "assets/shirts/"
+document.premForm.Team[current].value + ".gif";
}
the var 'which' is being passed succesfully, but i can't work out how
to change
document.premForm.Team.selectedIndex;
into
document.whichForm.Team.selectedIndex;
depending on what value the function receives. My 3 forms are called
premForm,nationalForm and worldForm
I have the following javascript function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function HTMLEncode( text )
{
text = text.replace(/&/g, "&") ;
text = text.replace(/"/g, """) ;
text = text.replace(/</g, "<") ;
text = text.replace(/>/g, ">") ;
text = text.replace(/'/g, "'") ;
return text ;
}
</script>
Now i want to store the content of 'text' in a php string. Is that possible?
Is it possible to access Objects like (document.form1.textfield1) with a string variable like (var obName='textfield1') and using (document.form1.obName.value)?
Ive tried it in IE but the value in the obName is not cosidered as a object name.
String.prototype.trim = function(){
return this.replace(/^s+|s+$/g, "");
}

It's possible with numbers:
var myNum = 10;

How can to obtain length of string variable, for example if I have:

Does it exist a method to count string characters?
var months = "April Showers";
document.write('<p><img src="ad11.jpg");
document.write(" alt=");
document.write(months);
document.write(">");
document.write(months);
How come when I display my output to a browser without the presence of the
ad11.jpg file, only the first word (April) in the text string "April Showers" is dispayed where the .jpg file is suppose to be...but the last line displays the entire text string.
I am new to Javascript but fluent in C++ and other languages, I have a query, I made a global variable to hold string information, can the value of this string be assigned to a form input field value? I mean in the 'default value sense' I am just wondering if there is any syntax to accomplish this. EG in my javascript I have the string nameVal; It is a global variable, I would like to know if it is poosible access its value for use in the line below shown with italics, or is it basically always a case of 'type the value in manually yourself' and then rely on events functions to update the field thereafter?
Name: <br><input type = "text" name = "nameField" size = "50" value = my string val here onChange ="this.value=storeVal(this.value, '0')"></input></br>
I've two different frames and I want dynamically read the value's with a for loop in a different frame by object name. See my code example:
alert(top.frames['hiddenframe'].contexthiddenform.afkorting.value);
this works.
Now I want to make the field name (afkorting) dynamically
strName = (top.frames['hiddenframe'].document.contexthiddenform.elements[i].name);
alert(top.frames['hiddenframe'].document.contexthiddenform. + strName + .value);
This construction isn't working. The variable strName gets the name of the object (i.e. afkorting) but the alert doesn't work. Has somebody an idea what I'am doing wrong?
I am slowly working through learning/writing a JS project.here is the core issue.:
var pt =<? echo json_encode($prt);?>
alert(pt) // for diagnostic purposes
json is flattening the PHP array to be used in the script.However, the alert shows me that I only get {[ ,which is just before the first set of double quotes.JS quits at the double quotes, leaving me with an undefined array.How do I fix this?
How can I call functions from the value of a variable?
I do this in PHP, like $variable(); or {$variable . 'CallBack'} or using something like call_user_func().
I've been search all day though, and can't find how to do this in javascript. Is it possible?
When I click the name, I should go the particular page about that person.
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async="false";
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange=verify;
xmlDoc.load("a.xml");

I'm sure it's just a syntax problem. You can ignore most of this function because most of it works. The part I'm asking about is the "coordinates" variable 4th line from the bottom. The "office3" variable is a dynamically populated office number. I have the office numbers all defined as variables somewhere else but since I can't just name the variables as numbers I had to put a $ in front of them. Basically I'm trying to call the office number variable, $1656 for example. So "coordinates" is meant to be equal to "$+the chosen office number".[code]...

I want to change the css class of the li element from the name hidden to the variable filterVal, but i donīt know the right syntax.
The best way to describe what im trying to accomplish is with a code
snippet. Im using the free .NET ajax library.
<script language='javascript'>
function proc1()
{
myFunc("MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc");
}
function myFunc(procName)
{
procName("My Parameter", processMyFunc);
}
function processMyFunc(response)
{
// Process response from the server
}
</script>
So im essentially invoking an Ajax function , but I cant explicitly use
the name of it like so
MyCodeBehind.MyAjaxProc("My Parameter", processMyFunc);
That line would work fine. Clearly though, this doesnt work
var procName = "MyCodeBehind";
procName("My Parameter", processMyFunc);
