I have the following string:

and I want to extract the filename from it.

Do you know how to do this, if I don't know the exact names of the folders,

Substring Syntax In Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

Trying to debug someone else's javascript code. There is a line that

looks like this:

req = req.substring(req.length-2, req.length);

From what I can gather in their comments, they want to capture the last two characters of the string "req".

I'm guessing that the above line won't do that, and they want to change it to

req = req.substring(req.length-1, 2);

In other words, the parameters are starting position, and length. Is that correct?

Smart Substring

Sep 9, 2007

If I have the following variable which contains the drop down menu for list of card numebrs:

var abc='<option value="1234567890123456">1234567890123456</option><option value="0987654321987654">0987654321987654</option><option value="0147852369014785">0147852369014785</option>'

How can I pass this variable to a function and mask only the dispalyed card number? i.e. to have the following result:

<option value="1234567890123456">1234XXXXXXXX3456</option><option value="0987654321987654">0987XXXXXXXX7654</option><option value="0147852369014785">0147XXXXXXXX4785</option>

Note: the number of options in the drop down menu may varry, in this example its only 3 options, it might be more or less, this is why I called it "Smart Substring".

Replacing A Varying Substring With Itself Plus

Jul 23, 2005

I'd like to globally replace a substring specified by a regular
expression with itself along with some additional characters.
example:

var oldString = 'asdf BRACKETTHISasdfsdf sd asdBRACKETTHISasdf asd'

var newString =
oldString.replace(/sw*BRACKETTHISw*/g, '<' + ?some expression that
accesses current match? + '>' )

And newString winds up as:
'asdf <BRACKETTHISasdfsdf> sd <asdBRACKETTHISasdf>
asd'

Is there a way to do this, or do I have to use other methods?

Substring A Value For Display And Concatenate For Validation?

Feb 28, 2006

I have a validation script for upc codes which is currently working for
values that are entered into one text box. I've been asked to break up
the text box into 3 separate fields to accept the 1st digit, middle 10
digits, then last check digit. What I'm doing is substringing the
initial values then concatenating them. What I'm not sure of is, how to
handle the validation. I was previously firing an onBlur after the text
box but now that I have three, and I need the values to concatenate
into one for the validation. Should I just fire a function after the
3rd field that concatenates the 3 values, then pass that value to the
validation function? Or is there a better way?

I was also wondering if there was something I could find like an input
mask, but something that could just "overlay" on top of a regular text
box with one value which could give the appearance of having
separations for certain digits, in this case the first and last.

Dynamically Writing Html/javascript From A Javascript Function

Jul 23, 2005

I'm working on some code and am running into brick walls. I'm trying
to write out Javascript with Javascript and I've read the clj Meta FAQ
and didn't see the answer, read many similar posts (with no luck
though), and searched through the IRT.ORG Faqs
(www.irt.org/script/script.htm).

The Javascript is designed to open an popup window and then inside that
window call another script which will resize that window. There may be
another way around this but the reason I tried this approach initially
was that I wanted to call the onload handler in the popup window to
resize the image only after the image had completely loaded. I've had
some code in the primary Javascript file (showimage.js) before that
works if the image has been cached but on the first load, it doesn't
resize properly which tells me it is probably because it is trying to
resize the window based on the image size but it isn't completely known
at that point. So I removed that code and tried placing the resizing
code in the second Javascript file (resizewindow.js). BTW I've tried
other code to open a popup image and automatically size it ie Q1443 at
irt.org but that doesn't do exactly what we need.

Even if there is another way to do this with one file, I still want to
figure out why this isn't working in case I run into it in the future.

I thought what I would need to do to use document.writeln to write
Javascript would be to escape any special characters and to break
apart the script tag ie

document.writeln('</SCRIPT>');

would become

document.writeln('</SCR' + 'IPT>');

I have a HTML page and 2 Javascript files. All files are in the same
directory and have permissions set correctly.

Here are the 3 files (keep in mind wordwrap has jacked up the
formatting):

index.html
----------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"
SRC="showimage.js">
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>
Click the house<BR>
<A ONCLICK="newWindow1('house1.jpg','Nice House')"><IMG
SRC="house1thumb.jpg"></A>
</body>
</html>


showimage.js
------------
function newWindow1(pic,sitename)
{

picWindow=window.open('','','width=25,height=25,sc rollbars=1,resizable=1');
picWindow.document.writeln('<html> <head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<SCR' + 'IPT type="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="resizewindow.js"></SCR' + 'IPT>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<body onload="resizewindow();">');
picWindow.document.writeln('<img src=' + pic + '>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</body> </html>');
picWindow.document.close();
}

resizewindow.js
---------------
function resizewindow()
{
// Do resizing here.
// Right now this isn't being executed
alert("resizing window");
}


Can anyone provide some pointers as to why this javascript is failing?
I'm using IE6 on Win2k and when I click on the image to open the popup
window, it does open the window but it is white with no content and the
system immediately goes from about 4% CPU usage to 100% and
consistently stays there until I kill that window with the task
manager.

DOM Javascript - Imbed Javascript In Dynamically Added Row

Jul 23, 2005

Attached is a simple HTML file that adds and delete rows. In the add
row function I set an attribute "onClick" this triggers the
testMessage() function. When I try this in Firefox it works just fine
however on IE it just refuses to work.

What is interseting is the ROW that already exists has a similar
'onClick' event which works when the page is loaded, but subsequent
"row" additions to the table to not work in IE. Code:

Javascript Function Has No Properties In Javascript Console

May 25, 2005

I'm getting errors in Firefox everytime I try to run this frame resize code, but it works fine in IE. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is with it.

The error is: Error: theFrame has no properties
Line: 8

The line that the javascript console is showing an error for is in italics.

code from page:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var defaultCols="100px,*";
var hiddenCols="0px,*";
function ShowHideMenu(){
theFrame = document.getElementById("framed");
if(theFrame.cols == defaultCols) theFrame.cols=hiddenCols;
else theFrame.cols=defaultCols;
}
</script>
<frameset cols="100px,*" name="framed">
<frame src="lframe.htm" name="frameMenu">
<frame src="mframe.htm" name="content">
</frameset>
</head>
<body>
</body></html>

Come someone let me know what I'm doing wrong here?

'Javascript Anthology' Or 'Professional Javascript For Web Developers'?

Mar 30, 2006

I'm already past the basics of Javascript, and i need something that takes me to the other level and teaches me the new technologies and cool stuff (drag&drop, AJAX, OOP in javascript, maybe XUL...etc). So far i found these two books:

1. Sitepoint's "The JavaScript Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks".
2. Worx's "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides)"

Both seems to cover very insteresting topics, but i can only buy one of them. So which one do you suggest?

and by the way, i've read the sample chapter 5 of Sitepoint's book, and it seems like the author(s) just put the solutions/codes there and let you figure them out on your own. Is this how the rest of the chapters are?

Nixing Javascript Via Javascript: Pseudoproto?

Jul 23, 2005

This is a question about defensive web browsing. Ocassionally I run into a page whose JavaScript does something that I find obnoxious. I would like to turn off JavaScript only for that page (instead of disabling it globally). It would be cool if there were some way to do this through a "bookmarkable" JavaScript snippet using the javascript: pseudoprotocol. Does anyone know any trick to do any of this?

Extract Links From Javascript (not Using Javascript)?

I am looking for a method to extract the links embedded within the
Javascript in a web page: an ActiveX component, or example code in
C++/Pascal/etc. I am looking for a general solution, not one tailored

Hopefully, the problem can be solved without recreating a complete
Javascript interpreter. Any ideas?

AJAX, Eval(), And Javascript Within Javascript

Apr 28, 2006

Ok so, this is my purpose:
- to be able to load asynchronously (via AJAX) some javascript ads (like google's or adbrite) so as to make them be loaded in the background, then update the page after the ads have loaded via innerHTML

Why?
-Because 90% of the time in my newer sites, javascript ads are the major offender in terms of speed of page rendering

My problem:
Via ajax, I can call a php file that retrieves some javascript and outputs it, XMLhttprequest returns those javascript lines, but they don't render in the page, since they miss the whole page loading, and are apparently not parsed
For example, let's say I call a php file via ajax, and it returns the output into a variable named "text" containing "document.write('hello')"
if I use xxx.innerHTML=text, nothing happens

My 1st solution:
Passing those javascript lines to eval() [like eval(text) ], but this produces a second problem, that I couldn't solve (probably because of my lack of knowledge in javascipt):
if I eval the code, it deletes my current page and renders a new one
for example, if I parse a document.write, my page disappears, and a new one is rendered with the document.write text

What I want is basically to make that "document.write" appear inside a div in my page, adding to the content (and not overwriting the whole page), much like what happens when using innerHTML

Is this even possible? How would you go about it?
I tried xxx.innerHTML=eval(outputfromphpfile) but it overwrites my whole page...
