InnerHTML - String Comparison Test Doesn't Work In Function?
Jan 23, 2011
why the string comparison test doesn't work in this javascript function? It works if you use just text between the currentItem div tags, but not when you use html for an image. I even tried to use iso characters instead of angle brackets, as in "<img src=expand.png></img>" and still no dice. Why not?
I have come across a problem with the onKeyDown event in some of my forms. I'm using onKeyDown in <form> as a standard method to open my help screen system throughout my system, but I have discovered that If I have a <div></div> section somewhere and then load the contents of it from another file using innerHTML after the main window is loaded, the onKeyDown event doesn't trigger any more.
How would one go about comparing 2 strings one of which may contain special entities (eg "cassé" and "cassé")?
I tried to find a way to take the second string and do a replace whenever such entities are encountered but this implies creating some sort of lookup table containing not all but a good number of entity codes. Unless I am mistaken, javascript does not any function to replace an entity-infested string with a decoded string, pretty much like php's html_entity_decode. Another way, probably better (but I don't know), would be to encode the first string.
var choice = document.getElementById('choiceKey6').value; var searcher = document.getElementById('searchText').value; if (choice == "Services") { var script = '/site/includes/az_search_results.php';
[Code]...
choiceKey6 is a drop down menu with the values "Services", "Documents", "Downloads", "Frequently Asked Questions". I've named it strangely because of the bug that causes IE's getElementByID to search both ID's and names. SearchText is just a textbox, but it is irrelevant to my problem.
My problem is that in firefox this works as expected, the string comparisons work and the code in the if statements is executed as expected. In internet explorer however, the algorithm always defaults to the else statement at the end. What have I done wrong? argh.
I have a problem with Javascript, I need to do something fairly complicated and I'm not sure how. first let me explain what I am trying to do.
I need a user to be able to enter a single word in a text form on a page. i then need to seperate every character in that string to create new variables (example: var charater1 = string.charAt(0)) there are ten characters in total.
I then need to compare the character to find the appropriate integer number for it, for example A would equal the integer number 1. once I have converted all ten characters I then need to write them to a file, something like a text file or the like.
Been a while since i posted here so, hai again. This is weird to me, dont under stand it. I am new to Java and Ajax but PHP is my best friend. Basically, i have some Ajax that checks a PHP script and when done, the PHP Script will echo either 0 or 1 (success or fail).
I wanted to try creating a basic expression first. I want someone to enter a string that is 2 - 20 characters long and only has letters. This is what I use so far, and it doesn't work, nothing happens at all when I run it.
Code: // Check for a valid name. var namePattern = new RegExp("/^[a-zA-Z]{2,20}$/"); if (namePattern.test(name)) { window.alert("Invalid"); }
name comes from a input box I display on screen. Also, I would like to update the expression so that there can be one space in the string, but it cannot be at the beginning or end. So this string is like a persons name. Bob is OK, Bob Smith is also OK. Edit: Actually, it is doing something but its always coming back invalid.
I don't really know how to say this, that's why I'm going to show you some code which will hopefully point out what I mean.This is what I wrote yesterday:
var div = $('<div></div>').attr('id','box').fadeIn(1250); $('body').append(div);
This worked well, but then I wanted to make a function to be able to change the innerHTML of that div but it didn't work.
function changeContent(content) { var box = $('#box'); box.html(content);
Trying to validate a name... If it's in the database, return "exists" if it isn't return "newOne". I get "exists" or "newOne" back in my success function and set a variable (var ifExists) with that text, but when I try to do something based on whether ifExists = "newOne" or "exists", it always goes into the first part of the function...
jQuery:
var sendMenuName = "menuname="+menuname; $.ajax({ type: "post", async: false,
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.
I have a very simple webpage which plays music from youtube, only top 2000 records from the Netherlands URL...For that i've made a database with music links from youtube, and it works fine. But i want more quality.Therfore I've made a Push button and link with a function within it.if sombody want to say to me if its bad quality music that my database is updated by push the button or link. (part -->php script)[code]
The following code opens the desired IE page if you are using IE, FF, Chrome or Safari(IE).. Otherwise, if you're not using IE, you get a message that you need to use it (just the way it has to be for now.) The function doesn't work in Opera -- I'm using 9.63.
Function doesn't work with conditions , but works without them , I need a condition in the function so i can pause, start a slideShow. how do i do this.
my script that works in firefox/opera like a charm, but doesn't so in IE8.
Here we go:
$(document).ready(function(){ $(".folder").live('click',function(){ var id = $(this).attr("id"); if($('#' + id).hasClass('folderClosed')){
[Code].....
The basic idea is to show a "virtual" directorie from a mysql database over json. The first part works also quit well, only the .remove() function doesn't work right, which means the sub <ul> elements remaining on the page.
I have the following function that display a list depending on the drop down option the user selects but doesnt not work on explorer it works on other browsers but on exploere i get the following error code...
The Firefox 3.6.12 displays only: =========== Start =========== 10_ShowClassesAndTypes Starting 10_ShowClassesAndTypestesting dw =========== End ============
The "dw" function writes nothing. Suggestion on how to get "shorthand document.write" function working. In the meantime I'm going to see if I can get Protype to provide a shorthand function.
