I've been trying to create a 'loading page' for a from. When a user submitts a form, a loading animation is displayed on the page. Then I have javascript connecting to a url on my server that generates a dynamic file and returns it from memory. My problem is that I can display the text from this new file, but what I want to do is prompt the user to save the file locally. Is there a way to make this sort of conversion in javascript?

combining values into a string, how would i then get the value of the
string
formname = "document.form" + count + ".quantity.value"
I then need the value of the form element, not the value of the
variable (formname).
How do I convert the this object to an array.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I explain this? I am grabbing several elements from my document and placing them in an array, using jQuery. When I test the
Code:
typeof
this item, it returns as an Object, not an Array, which is problematic for IE. Firefox seems not to have an issue with
Code:
Object.length
, but IE won't have any of that, so I need
Code:
Array.length
or do I? In the end, I just want IE to know how many keys are in the Array/Object...

How to convert php variable so it could be used in a javascript section.
For example I have a php array named $places, it's a nested array and I'd like to traverse through all the elements of this array much like it's done in php =>foreach($places as $place) but this done in JS.
In a nutshell how do i convert this variable into a JS appropriate variable.
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?

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:

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn addition to fetching JSON you might want to POST it back to the server, but there is no postJSON method. You cannot use the generic ajax method, either. What is missing is the complement of "eval" to turn a JavaScript object in to JSON. The JSON.stringify function from www.json.org (see json2.js in JavaScript section) does the trick, but it would be nice if jQuery incorporated that out of the box, to save some hunting time.
Using the jquery ajax method to set the "type" to "json" and the "content-type" to "application/json" send and recieve JSON, but you must use JSON.stringify to convert your outgoing object to JSON. P.S.. a lot of forgiving parsers have resulted in a lot of articles on JSON being wrong. would I like to mention that here. Property names are JSON strings. JSON strings have double quotes. Therefore, property names have to be surrounded with double quotes. Single quotes are not JSON strings and not legal (JSON is not JavaScript).

I have a String formated in such as the javascript format
May I know is it posible to directly convert to var array?
Example:
But it look not work for me...
How can I do that? ( without using split function example var data = respond.split(","); )
Is it possible to convert a String of date like 12/25/2005 01:00PM to a Date object?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI think this is a problem converting (what is assumed to be) a string to numeric. or something like that.
rvs = s[i][j] * k;
Firefox Error Console says:
Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 's[0]' to object
rvs is just a (temporary, holding) variable.
s is a [3][6] array on numeric values.
i, j and k all happen to be zero.

I'm trying to convert some Procedural code to be more Object Oriented and I'm stuck...
The page is really simple:
It's just a big picture w/ a caption under it, and a few thumbnail pics off to the side, that when clicked, replace the big picture as well as swap out the caption for a new one.
In the code (external JS file):
I've got 2 arrays:
One that holds the thumbnail image file URLs, and the other that holds the captions.
And a function:
I've created an object prototype that I can instantiate in order to:
1.) create the event: do the actual swapping of the thumbnail, and the changing of the caption.
2.) and attach that event to the thumbnail's link onclick event handler.
The code below is the closest I've come to making it work. The problem is that when I click any of the thumbnail links it only executes the last event instead of the one that corresponds to the link that was just clicked. Hopefully someone can take a look at my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Simplified version of the code:
The x,y,z variable assignments are only in the window.onload function for the sake of clarity, but the event object instantiation block has to be in there for anything to work at all.
I know that the event0,event1,event2 objects work, and are attached to the onclick handler because they will swap the last thumbnail and caption when I click any of the thumbnail links. Of course that's the problem now... any click only activates the last event. It's like it attached the last event to all the onclick event handlers.
In fact, if I only create the event0 object, it works like it's supposed to... but when I create the event1 object, it does what it's supposed to and it takes over for event0. Creating event2 makes it take over for all of them. Each subsequent event# object seems to attach its own addy[ ] and caption[ ] to each previous x[ ] link.
I am trying some simple things with javascript and trying to use it in a object oriented way. However I am now facing a problem in which I can't access an object variable from an object method. I am using jQuery.
My code is as follows;
Code:
My problem is that the variable msg1 does not work when accessed from function called from the jQuery get function. I get the message undefined. Therefore I am wondering, is there a way how I can access msg1 of my object instance from the get function of jQuery?
Is there any way to get the variable name of an object from inside the object?

I've been working on a function to convert nodeList and object properties to an array. The first question is with regards IE and checking whether the object provided is an HTML collection. The best I have come up with so far, is to test if it's an object, has an 'item' which is a function and has length. The second question is with regards slice.call and a while loop copy. I guess I need to do some profile/timing tests, but I'm wondering if the function merits a slice.call? or should I simplify?
Code JavaScript:
// Some weirdness in IE regarding nodesList and typeof 'item' returning 'Object'
// even though when alerted it returns 'function (){...}'.
// Therefore having to use regExp.test() to check whether it's a function instead.
// Note: _isNodeList isn't full proof. An object with the properties

I have a jQuery object $('p').eq(1) and I would like to display its text equivalent '$('p').eq(1)' in an alert box ie I want the alert box to display $('p').eq(1).The alert box only displays [object Object] (as you might expect).I have used String() (and many others) but this does not work.If this cannot be done, is it possible to do the opposite ie to convert the string "$('p').eq(1)" to the jQuery object $('p').eq(1) ?
This is my code

I would like to create a program which converts some letters into different ones.
1) I want 2 text areas (input and output) + "convert" button
2) if I type in the input area the letters "ea" I would like it to be converted into "a", so that If I type "cambrea" and press "submit" the output text will have "cambra".
3) if I type "e " which is (e+space) I want it to be converted into " " which is "space" example: if I type the word "spine " it should be converted into "spin , note that there is a space after "spin ".
4) If I type any vowel before "o" it should render "o", example: gambuo becomes gambo.
would this be possible? I'm not very familiar with Javascript even though I can modify it.
I have a function that takes parameters of what the form name and the form object name is and then modifies the form accordingly. Now I can make it work fine if i make a separate function for each form object, but that seems very cumbersome. This is what I have
document.formName.formCat.selectedIndex;
i want formName and formCat to be variables so I can specify in the parameters which part of the form to deal with, but i get an erorr. Is this possible?
How can you use an integer as an object? The idea is to create dynamic object according to a particular id which is an integer
var newObject = function(integer) {
window.integer = {};
}
I cannot console.log(window.123), only console.log(window.integer) ...
how I create the object window.123 or perhaps, window.id_123 ?
How is it possible to take the value of a variable (in this case,
MODE_CREATE, MODE_UPDATE, etc) and use that as an object property name?
In the following example I want 'oIcon' object to have the properties:
mode1, mode2, and mode3.
This seems simple but I can't quite figure it out...
Any ideas anyone?
var MODE_CREATE = "mode1";
var MODE_UPDATE = "mode2";
var MODE_DELETE = "mode3";
var oIcon = {
MODE_CREATE: "create.gif"
, MODE_UPDATE: "update.gif"
, MODE_DELETE: "delete.gif"
};
var oTitle = {
MODE_CREATE: "Create a new item..."
, MODE_UPDATE: "Update this item..."
, MODE_DELETE: "Delete this item..."
};
