Is it possible to make a variable available to other functions outside a function So to make it global from within a function without using a callback
function() {
var something = 'hello';
}
function(something) {
document.write(something);
}
something like that possible??
How do I make a variable global so that all other functions can use it.But it is declared inside the function test()

function changeYear(today)(holiday){
b.) in the first line of the above function, use the getFullYear() date method to extract the 4-digit value from the today variable and store the value in a variable named year.
first line
c.) in the second line; use the setFullYear() date method to set the full year of the holiday date object to the value of the year variable.
second line
d.) in the third line, use a conditional operator on the year variable. The test condition is whether the value of the holiday date object is less than the today date object. If it is, this means that the event has already passed in the current year and the value of the year variable should be increased by 1.
third line
e.) in the fourth line of the function, again set the full year value of the holiday date object to the value of the year variable.
I have an idea for a website that I'd like to pursue, and it would need functions such as:
-Live news feed
-Member logins, profiles, ability to rate/leave feedback for members
-Mobile phone friendly
-Comment on postings
-Create an intro video (maybe even with animated stick figures to explain how the site works)
-Accept paypal or other payment method
-And basically, need to understand the monthly maintenance cost of all these functions, how to minimize expenses, etc.
how would I begin implementing a site like this.. Do I need to find a programmer to code it from scratch? Are there pre-written scripts available for all the functions I listed? What can I expect the costs to be?What's the best way to move forward?

My problem is that every other turn I have to click either button twice to start the desired function. Say, I autoplay the images first and I want to shuffle them, I click shuffle and the autoplay stops working and I need to click shuffle again and then the shuffle runs. How can I make it clicked once and the function runs?
I am working on a site and in the process borrowed some js from some one to get dropdown menus to work, but after a while got reports from people who tested my site of some problems and decided to verify all my code, and i have fixed most bugs but the one listed in the title.

I have been having trouble with forms and functions. On my wife's site I have some forms and some of them have radio buttons. My current radio button checker is cumbersome and it is time for something more elegant (some of you will say if it isn't broke don't fix it )
The new code is below:
Code:
Basically I want to pass into the function radio button values 1 & 2 denoted by firstChoice and secondChoice (eventually I want to also pass in the form name but 1 step at a time).
The buttons can have the value (names?) of pattern, chalkboard or kit. It is for a shopping cart (Mal's E-commerce) and this is part of the JS validation. I am using onsubmit to call the function viz.
HTML Code:
Seems ok (to me at least) but when I try to get it to work it throws up an error of
Code:
It stops at that point but undoubtably chalkboard would throw up the same error if it continued.
How would I define the variables in my function? Are they strings, integers, who cares?
Where would I define them? Global or local?
Is the problem a matter of syntax e.g. if I put ' ' or " " around them would that suffice?
How can I call functions from the value of a variable?
I do this in PHP, like $variable(); or {$variable . 'CallBack'} or using something like call_user_func().
I've been search all day though, and can't find how to do this in javascript. Is it possible?
I have a requirement that when a particular link is clicked, it submits back to the server. This is the same as clicking on a submit button. But the submit button is a link.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert some of my javascripts into a class and am
running into difficulties which i think are related to variable scope.
Basically I have a constructor function for a calendarInput class that
takes 4 parameters, the first is a reference name/number for this
input. I also have some functions for importing my PHP classes into
Javascript using AJAX (properties only. still trying to get methods
working but that's another story!). The relevant function is called
call_object_method(classname, methodname, createparams, methodparams,
post, callbackfunction). This creates an instance of the specified PHP
class using the parameters in createparams. It then calls the
specified method using the parameters in methodparams. The result is
passed back to the javascript function specified in the callbackfunction parameter (ie the value of xmlhttp.onreadystatechange is set to callbackfunction before xmlhttp.send() is called)
The function i am trying to fix is called show (x,y) which creates the
html for the calendarInput and displays it at co-ordinates x, y.
So, my code is as follows:
function calendarInput(calendarid, target, displaytarget, value)
{
this.calendarid = calendarid;
this.target = target;
this.displaytarget = displaytarget;
this.value = value;
this.show = function(x, y)
{
<!--// bunch of init and prepping code. includes creating
createparams and methodparams arrays //-->
call_object_method("cms_calendar", "getcalendarview",
createparams, methodparams, false, this.showcallback);
}
this.showcallback = function()
{
alert(this);
<!--//code to create html//-->
}
}
I know i've cut out most of the innards of this. This is because I
have already tested these functions and had the calendarInput working
outside of a class, hence am pretty sure that this is ok (plus it runs
to almost 1000 lines these days!!). My problem is that when I call the
show method, the alert on the first line of the callback function
returns the function showcallback instead of (as i was expecting) the
instance of the calendarInput object. Whilst this kinda makes sense I
can't figure out how to reference the Object instead. I have tried
'this.parent' but this returned undefined. I have tried changing the
way i reference the callback function (ie the final parameter of
call_object_method) but no joy.
So in the Tutorials:How jQuery Works, I've noticed that you can make a call to .get like this : $.get('myhtmlpage.html', myCallBack);
I've also noticed that in the docs jQuery.get() is described as jQuery.get( url, [data,] [success(data, textStatus, jqXHR),] [dataType] ). My question is, in the above example, the callback function is the second argument, whereas in the docs the second argument is data, and the third is the callback function. How does this work? Also, what does it mean when the arguments are laid out in an array-like fashion with commas in the square brackets? i.e. arg1, [arg2,]...
I've recently started developing javascript using jQuery and so far I'm really enjoying it.Being a professional programmer (mainly C, C++, java and python) there is one thing that's been puzzling me regarding variable scope and unnamed function declarations. Let me exemplify:

var sum = 0;
$(xmlobj).find("item").each(function(){

View 1 Replies View RelatedI think the last thing people seem to learn about in JavaScript when they're not coming from other programming languages is variable scope. Some even get all the way into AJAX without having learned about scope, and this is a time when it's really needed. Although the scope of JavaScript variables is non-complex by nature, it's something we should all get a full understanding for before we move too far.
Section 1: What is "scope"?
Section 2: The "var" keyword
Section 3: The "this" keyword
Section 4: Closures or "Anonymous functions and self-invoking closures
Demonstration code:
The 'array' variable contains strings representing the id's of different elements. If the for loop above were to finish iterating, would all the links in all three elements call the click function (that displays an alert message), or would only the last element ("element3") have the click function? For me, the latter seems to be the case unless if I'm doing something wrong, but I would like clarifications and, if possible, alternative solutions as to how I can achieve the former result.
I am trying to declare a variable inside a function and use it later on in my code... but it just already returns white space... i.e. not variable value. I am setting it within this function:
function show_video1(){
document.getElementById('video1').style.display="block";
var video1Name = "Education World News (Part 1)";
document.getElementById('video2').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video3').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video4').style.display="none";
[Code]...
and trying to call it later on with this: <script type="text/javascript">document.write(video1Name)</script> It might be worth noting that each one of my 11 videos will hace a different name.
I need a client to be able to add there own url to some code but wanted to separate it, so they can paste it at the top of the code so its clear for them to see. Then reference the variable in the link.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to understand this type of functions and how do they work, but can't find a good tutorial or page that refers to functions like this:

Does anybody knows a good resource that explains it? I was also wondering how to call a function that is set like this.
i thought about following code snippet:
Code:

Has anyone an idea, if my thoughts on that are correct oder if this behaviour could be a problem? And is there probably a better way to combine functions, so that all functions would be in one column?
I am using Ben Alman's JQuery resize plugin in order to obtain the varying computed width of an element when the window is resized (the element in question is a page wrapper that exhibits the expand-to-fit behavior of a block box, and it's computed width is obviously influenced by the resizing of the window. Essentially, what I need to be able to do, is to reference a variable that is defined in a .resize() function ('width_page') in a seperate .each() function.
[Code]...
I now understand that variables can't cross boundaries like in the example above, which leaves me a little stuck. I also understand that this is specific to the context of the .resize() function, and that it can't be taken out of it without using an element selector. Is there some way I can call the .resize() function in my .each() function?
