Javascript Entities
Jul 23, 2005
I would like to set the value of a hidden input field to the value of
a javascript variable.
In HTML I have successfully done this by:
<input type="hidden" name="context" value="&{exists};"/>
However I now wish to put this into an xsl file and it complains about
the { characters.
If I change them so that I have:
<input type="hidden" name="context" value="‹exists›"/>
Then I get an error along the lines of the entity lsaquo was
referenced, but not declared.

I need some help with Javascript and HTML entities. I am writing some code and I need to use quite a few HTML entities on alert boxes (messages in different languages)
Unfortunately Javascript displays the entities and not the equivalent caracther.

Modified with a newer version since it was first posted. Some comments may refer to older versions.
function entity(str, mode) {
str = (str) ? str : "";
mode = (mode) ? mode : "string";
var e = document.createElement("div");
e.innerHTML = str;
if (mode == "numeric") {
return "&#" + e.innerHTML.charCodeAt(0) + ";";
}
else if (mode == "utf16") {
var un = e.innerHTML.charCodeAt(0).toString(16);
while (un.length < 4) un = "0" + un;
return "u" + un;
}
else return e.innerHTML;
}
entity() has two parameters:
- entity: is a string which can be either a named entity (»), numeric entity (»), UTF-16 value (u00bb), or even the character itself (»).
- mode: is an optional value that can be 'string', 'numeric', or 'utf16'. This tells the function what to return the value as. Defaults to 'string'.
You'd use it like this:
// String mode
var div = document.createElement('div');
var text = document.createTextNode('Parent '+entity('»')+' Child');
div.appendChild(text);
// Numeric mode
var description = "The entity for » is "+entity('»', 'numeric');
// UTF-16 mode
var description = "The UTF-16 value for » is "+entity('»', 'utf16');

Using my IE v.6 browser, document.write doesn't convert HTML entities
(e.g. ', &) to the appropriate character (though NS 6.2 works
fine).
Obviously I can get round this for particular entities by writing some
code to do the conversion before using document.write - but I need a
more general solution that will catch any of the HTML entities.
A trawl with Google has found a number of people raising the question,
but no answers. Any suggestions?

This code was working fine until I added "["lastname"]["email"]" to it. Why has this problem developed? Was I suppose to separate them or something?
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function validateForm() {
var x=document.forms["form"]["firstname"]["lastname"]["email"].value;
[code]....

I have a large set of input fields (of checkboxes and radio buttons), and aside each set, is a clear button (just looks like text you can click on) that clears any input next to each of the input fields. When no input buttons are selected, the HTML entities that depend on them are supposed to disappear, and this works on load.
My question is how does one easily incorporate that clear button so that it tells the listeners already in action to clear those entities when they click on clear, and without having to manually do it over again with the clear button, if that makes any sense.

I'm trying to write/find a regular expression for finding ampersands but not HTML entites.I have this which finds entities but can't figure out how to ignore entities and return unmatched "&"
&[^s]*;
Test string: This is sample test containing a bunch of & and entities. Do you shop at: M&S? &x#1234;
I want to HTML encode the non-entity ampersands for insertion into XML e.g.
"bunch of & and" --> "bunch of & and"

I need to figure out a pattern that can match each letter of the message, but leaves all the html entities alone.
For example, I have a input like this:
<div>
This is the content < Hello >
</div>
Just as an example to make it more clearer, If I wanted to replace the all letters of the message with the number "1" I would have this result:
<div>
1111 11 111 1111111 < 11111 >
</div>

I am using the ajax method in JQuery to return an XML response from a URL location. The method looks like the following:
$.ajax({
url: '../DSMO/lb.asmx/GetAvailableDocListAuth',
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
[Code].....
OK so if I use repsonseText responseXML or just try and traverse msg it will not work. The problem is the body of my XML response, all of the tags ('<' and '>') are getting escaped to html entities ('<' and '>') So it becomes a malformed XML document that is not readable. I even tried using the Javascript function replace to go through and replace with no luck.
Even stranger if I access the web service through the browser, the XML is just fine!
The server is Windows Server 2008 running IIS 7 and I am programming of course in HTML and newest version of JQuery.
The browser I am testing on is Firefox with FireBug.

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.

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:

two possibilities or the attribute type of script:
text/javascript (the one i usually use) application/x-javascript
what are the differencies between both?
depends on the html content?
for example html 4.0.1 versus xhtml 1.1?

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?

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?

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?

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
to a particular page/script.
Hopefully, the problem can be solved without recreating a complete
Javascript interpreter. Any ideas?

I have some javascript that I have written into the <body> section and it works great. But I would like to make it into a javascript function and define the function in the <head> section. Then in the <body> section write a small bit of javascript that would call the function() object. Code:

I would like to know how to write javascript such that, a part of it isnt considered as script, & rather as HTML. Code:
Ok, the layer div can be written using document.write. But, Google ad itself is a javascript isnt it. How can it be written into this? How does this work?

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...

Just a quickie: is it possible to place javascript within javascript? The following is the code I am using to create a pop-up for a picture gallery. I would like to place a banner from a banner exchange in bold under each photo. When I use the code below I get an error message:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
function openpic(pic_name) {
myWin= open("", "displayWindow", "width=640,height=510,status=no,toolbar=no,
menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,alwaysraised=yes");
myWin.document.open();
myWin.document.write("<html><head><title>" + pic_name + "</title>");
myWin.document.write("</head><BODY><center><TABLE CELLPADDING=Ɔ' CELLSPACING=Ɔ' WIDTH=òr'>");
myWin.document.write("<br><img src=kate/image"+ pic_name + ".jpg><br>");
myWin.document.write("<br><br><BR><br><BR><br><BR>");
myWin.document.write("<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='http://www.linkbuddies.com/ad.go?id=134039+2&n=3'></script>");
myWin.document.write("</center></body></html>");
myWin.document.close();

Basically, on one of my sites I'm running adsense and today I added Chitika. The problem is, I can't run those type of ads through my banner advertising program.
The banner advertising program calls the banners/HTML from code like this:
<script language=JavaScript src=http://www.mysite.com/advertise/abm.asp?z=1></script>
And using that program I'm able to either choose a banner or HTML I want to display when that code above is used. It displays HTML ok... but when I try to run an ad of either adsense or chitika nothing displays on the page. The code that would be called is:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
*Chicika code in here*
//--></script>
<script src="http://xxx/xxx/mm.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
So... it looks like I can't have javascript call another javascript to display on a page. My question is then... how can I edit the above to make it work or how can I work around this problem? I'd really want this to work with Chitika and not so much with adsense... but it appears both Chitika and Adsense use similar javascript code.

does a client side script always need a server side script in order to
function?
how can i get my javascript application to send the details of a user
filled form to me without having to have a server side script?
if i have both server side and client side script in a web
application, will the resulting application run as a client or server?
i know i probably haven't made much sense, but the problem is that i'm
trying to make sense of it all.
