Well, it turns out IE8 has yet another problem. My code has a global variable (to the object) inside an object declaration that cannot be accessed by a function (that is also global).
The code is like so:
Code:
function myobject(params){
//public
this.initialize = function(){...}
//private
some variables...
//problem variable
var mouse = new Object()
mouse.x = 0;
mouse.y = 0;
//code...
slidecontainer = document.createElement("div");
slidecontainer.onmousemove = function(event) {
if(boo.isIE) {
e = window.event;
mouse.x = e.x + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.y + document.body.scrollTop;
} else {
e = event;
mouse.x = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;}}
//this function is in an interval
function moveslides() {
/* this is where I have the problem
It seems that the function doesn't recognize that mouse.x, or mouse for that matter, exists. Mouse is global to the object, so why can't this function access it?
*/if(mouse.x) {
code...
}}}

I have a little JS app that is a glorified calculator which I posted the code for below. My code uses the document object to replace the html in the "content" <div> and works great.However, I want to add an inline style in order to change the background of the input (readonly field with an id of "coutput") based on either of the global variables named "MJPD" or "IJPD", (depending on the switch case selected in the user prompt at the beginning of the script.)Simplified....if the value of MJPD is less than 4.6, I want the "coutput" field's background to be red, else be green.The same goes for IJPD, except the threshold for red will be <3.83.Code and what I have tried is below.
<script language="JavaScript">
var MJPD = 1;
var IJPD = 1;

I have a .js file that receives a value from an html page. I'd like this
value to be a global variable that all functions in the .js file can use. I
have tried just declaring a var at the top of my .js file, but when the
value comes into the function and gets assigned to that variable, it is not
global.
I would like to store a variable then call it back later. I have a variable on line 198
www = ''+this._ad.clickUrl+'';
And on line 321 I try
document.write(www);
I've tried so many different options, just won't work. I have even tried to call document.write(window.www);
The code is below.. might be easier to read on [URL]

The purpose behind this is creating a form that will work with an existing database that would normally have a text area with lots of information. I am trying to turn it into a checklist that I can run from a mobile device. The global variables woudl be used to fill in a hidden text area that would then be passed on to the database upon submission. I am trying to keep the code as compact as possible.
I am using jQuery 1.4.2 and I am trying to carry over the global variable totaltabs into my JSON callback function. The code seems to work properly, however, in my loadJSON function after the callback function loads the data, my totaltabs variable will not increment.
Here is a peak at my code.
totalItems is loaded from another function, not relevant to my example.
Code JavaScript:
var totaltabs = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){

Code:

and that worked fine except it only replaced the first slash (which it apparently is supposed to do). So i read up about global replacements but cant seem to get the right combination of /s and s.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried creating a global function to calculate the distance between 2 points.
jQuery.distance(p1, p2){
var dx = p2.x - p1.x;
var dy = p2.y - p1.y;
return Math.sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2);

Somewhere else within my code, I declare a new variable in order to store the value returned by the distance function.
var distance = $.distance(particle1, particle2);
However this is not working.
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.

Here is the code:
for (var i = 0; i < BS_crm['activityTypes'].length; i++) {
var clickFunc = function(){ activityList.showForm( -1, {blockType:[""+BS_crm['activityTypes'][i]['id'], "0"]} ); };
var type = {
[Code]....
Now, basically what I am doing here is running through one array to create an array of objects, that will be used to create links that will use whatever onClick function I pass it. The problem is that on the second line I need the BS_crm['activityTypes'][i]['id'] to be a value, not a reference. If that line was simply changed to:
var clickFunc = function(){ activityList.showForm( -1, {blockType:["3", "0"]} ); };
I think I've had JavaScript variable scope figured out, can you please
see if I've got it correctly?
* Variables can be local or global
* When a variable is declared outside any function, it is global
regardless of whether it's declared with or without "var"
* When it is declared inside a function, if declared with "var", it's
local, if not, it's global
* A local variable that is declared inside a function is local to the
whole function, regardless of where it is declared, e.g.:
function blah() {
for(var i ... ) {
var j ...
}}
i and j will both be visible within blah() after their declaration.
* the notion of "function" in this context also applies for this kind
of construct:
var myHandler =
{
onClickDo: function()
{
in the sense that whatever one declares inside onClickDo with "var"
will only be visible inside onClickDo. What else, am I missing anything?
I'm making a project which creates tabs with a class. I don't really know how to explain it better but this is how it works:
<a href="#" id="tbs_tabs">Create</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tbs = new Tabs('tbs_tabs');
tbs.theme = 'classic'
tbs.create_option('abc','#');
tbs.create_option('abz','#');
tbs.create_option('abf','#');
tbs.create();
</script>
It first creates the new class and tells it the id, then it creates as many options as you want and creates it.
My problem is with this line:
for(i=0;i<this.option_values.length;i++)
{
li = document.createElement("LI");
li.appendChild(document.createTextNode(this.option_values[i]));
addEvent(li,"click",function(){oThis.select_option(i); return false;};
ul.appendChild(li);
}
What I was trying to do here is add an event to the LI element that refers to the current tab class but doesn't use the CURRENT i value but the value that was when the event was first created.
For example.. If my i value is currently 2 and I add the function, then I want that when I call the function, the value will still be 2 and not the current i value. What happens now is when I call the function the value is something like 5 or 6.
I have a set or icons that which over time I replace with a different icon and and add a onclick event to them. This is my code
function updateStatusIcons(retText) {
updatingStatuses = true;
var updates = retText.split("|");
for (z=0; z<updates.length; z++) {
[Code]....
Everything works fine except for the onclick event. In the hover message of the icon, the correct project ID is displayed in the message, hoever in the function, the onclick funtion always loads the page with the last set project id. How can I pass the project id into the onclick function and make it stay fixed and not be the value of that it was last set to?
This is a follow-up to a post from long ago. I had thought that this would be very simple but damned if I can get it to work.
Basically, I want a value which is generated in a JS function to be included in a <form method="get"> output. For some reason which is beyond me, the value is not being updated and the form is returning only 'undefined'. Here is the code:

function addRow(tableID) {
// CELL 1
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);

For the record, the page is up here: [URL]
I am simply trying to use a global variable in javascript, but can only access the variable on the second call. I can't find anything that relates to this through my searches. My application is supposed to query the server for XML that tells me which years and months are available to put into combo boxes. I want to store this xml in a global variable to access it later.
[Code]....
Ok...so here is what I have:
function myClass() {
this.checkLogin = function(name,pwd) {
if(name.length > 0 && pwd.length > 0) {[code]....
Everything works above. The first alert shows that this.status was set to 'error'. However, if I call myClass.getStatus(), I get undefined. How can I get the parseData function to set the variables in the parent function?
