Detecting User's Language?

Jul 11, 2006

If I want to detect a user's language, so that I can
change some text to suit them, how do I do that in
Javascript?

Or aren't modern browsers supposed to be able
to cope with more than one language on a page,
separated somehow by language identifiers,
and display only the appropriate text? Maybe
I was dreaming when I read that.

Language Don't Work On IE / Fix It?

Apr 15, 2009

The previous developer who has been working here used javascript on some forms and they're not functioning properly when opened with IE (any version)

The link to the form:
Quote: http://www.avis.com.lb/reservation-inquiry?group=%27Group+V+(e.g.+Renault+Kangoo)%27&cor=%27Lebanon%27&corofres=%27LEBANON%27&hr=%2709%27&monthcoll=04

On firefox, it doesn't prompt any error and as you can see, it auto selects "Lebanon" as a country and it selects the date with 3 days in between till the return date. These don't work on IE, it just shows blank.

Here is the javascript used. code...

Meta Tag For Scripting Language

Jul 20, 2005

I have some doubts about this meta tag:
<META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

Do I really need to declare this meta tag in all my pages?

If I declare it, will I still need to create my scripts this way?
<script type='text/javascript'>

Is there any advantage/disadvantage when using it?

Language For Online Graphing

Jul 20, 2005

I am considering writing an online graphing utility. I plan it to be
of good quality, such that an undergraduate university student can
print it out and include it with a lab report.
Data points will be entered, having been generated by another program;
the utility will NOT accept functions for plotting--just the data
points.

As far as I know, Javascript does not provide graphing functionality.
Could somebody in this group please let me know what the best language
to use for writing this utility.

Use Of Type And/or Language In Script Tag

Jul 20, 2005

I am a bit cconfused with the different tags I encounter to start a script.
I used to use: language="Javascript"

Nowadays I use: type="text/javascript"

I did see some javascript1.2 (i think) too, but never used that.

But when I let my favorite editor (Eclipse) do some codecompletion I get:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="jsfile.js"></script>

Forget about the src for a moment. I see 2 definition in the same tag.

Is that ok? And on a sidenote: Am I safe when I use the modern type="text/javascript" only? The answer probably depends on the browser.

Where can I find some coherent information? Some overview with browsers and javascripttags and such.

Cript Language To Use Within HTML Page?

Aug 17, 2010

I am trying to develop a form that will be used to place orders. The form contains a table that has 1/2 dozen columns. Three of the columns are named: Item-Name, Quantity, and Price.

Item-Name and Price are literals (readable only). Quantity is a number the user will enter. Multiple items can be selected.

At the bottom of the table, I would like to have a box called "Total". In HTML, is there a way to do arithmetic functions? In my case: QUANTITY times PRICE and add the amount to whatever was in TOTAL. If it can't be done using HTML, is there any script language I can use within the HTML page?

JavaScript As A General Purpose Programming Language?

Jul 20, 2005

I must admit that the more I use and learn JavaScript, the more
convinced I am that it is one of the most expressive languages I know.

Without ways to access file i/o or databases though, can JavaScript be
considered as a serious general purpose language?

Entering Language Version Gives Syntax Error In IE8

Jul 15, 2010

Basically, the script is an onMouseover slideshow which works fine. The problem is that in internet explorer, it says there is a syntax error relating to the javascript code. (this doesn't appear on chrome or firefox) here is the code:

Code:
<script>
<script language="JavaScript1.1">
var myimages=new Array()
var gotolink="#"
</script>

basically, by putting the script language here, IE8 is saying there is a syntax error! removing it stops the error but stops the script from working. What can I do here? If I put it in an external .js file instead (right now it is in the head of the HTML page) will this solve the problem?
