I just released javascript lib that really helps to develop robust and clear js-scenarios following the OOP directions. The library is compatible with wide range of browsers on different platforms, including Netscape 4.x, Netscape 6.x, Netscape 7.x, Opera 6, Opera 7, Mozilla 1.0, IE 4, IE 5, IE 6.

The selector parameter in Custom_rounded_container function is defined because only the else part of the if statement in Custom_rounded_container is executing. I put this in because few people at other forums thought the problem was because of the selector parameter being undefined.

Trying to figure out OO programming for JavaScript and I'm totally lost.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm posting search data to a PHP form to run a query on a database.
The structure is sort of like this:
So I'm thinking I need to create search objects or arrays. Initially, I thought I could do something like this:
Code:
This doesn't seem to work. It says object not defined whenever I try to do something.
I've also tried creating a JSON object like this:
Code:
This will allow me retrieve the data like I want to:
Code:
The problem is I can't figure out how to add data to the JSON object without manually typing it in. I need to be able to loop through form elements on my HTML page and set them to these variables. I'm using jQuery and doing something like this:

Any websites or good books to learn real heavy object oriented javascript?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was writing my classes in an old fashion until today when I came across a new design pattern. Javascript is not an established OOP like C++ or Java. It doesn't have any easy way to create classes and to make private/public methods or properties as well as class-constructor. But it could be done in many ways.
My old way of OO design in Javascript was like following:
Code:
Those who were trying to write constructor and access public vars from private or vice versa, you would have probably faced some minor difficulties. But it was doable.
Now, the challenge is how can we make things cleaner and better. Here's the procedure I came up with:
Code:
I'm pretty new to programming object oriented javascript and I'm wondering if I could get some quick advice.
Code JavaScript:
When I do checkAll(true), it checks all of the athletes, but, it throws an error saying:
Why is it saying setChecked is not a function?
I will be the first to admit, I don't know much about JS and am just starting to wrap my mind around object oriented js. I have this small bit of code that has been giving me problems for days.
playlistItems[numItems-1] = soundManager.createSound({
id : songId,
url : $(this).attr('href'),
whileloading : player.whileloading,
onfinish: next
});
"next" is a function on the same object that playlistItems is defined on, but it doesn't ever seem to fire. I tried this.next as well, but it just gives me a runtime error....
How to do this:
function MyObject(){
Error messages I am getting on above are: this.callMe(); is not a function callMe(); is not defined
The problems with the setTimeout and setInterval functions provided in Javascript are twofold. First, you can't call a local object method without losing your scope, and second, you can't pass objects to the function, since the function call is implemented as a string.
The Timer class solves these difficulties by employing a static array to store the parent object and function arguments until the function is called.
This class is provided as-is and pro bono, so go ahead and muck with it if you see things that could be done better.
Thanks to WA for giving me the idea for this (albeit indirectly)!

this.count = 0;
this.timer = new Timer(this);
}
Ticker.prototype.tick = function(d){
this.count+=d;
window.status = ""+this.count;
this.timer.setTimeout("tick", 1000, d);
}
window.onload = function(){
var ticker = new Ticker();
ticker.tick(1);
}
I'm trying to convert some Procedural code to be more Object Oriented and I'm stuck...
The page is really simple:
It's just a big picture w/ a caption under it, and a few thumbnail pics off to the side, that when clicked, replace the big picture as well as swap out the caption for a new one.
In the code (external JS file):
I've got 2 arrays:
One that holds the thumbnail image file URLs, and the other that holds the captions.
And a function:
I've created an object prototype that I can instantiate in order to:
1.) create the event: do the actual swapping of the thumbnail, and the changing of the caption.
2.) and attach that event to the thumbnail's link onclick event handler.
The code below is the closest I've come to making it work. The problem is that when I click any of the thumbnail links it only executes the last event instead of the one that corresponds to the link that was just clicked. Hopefully someone can take a look at my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Simplified version of the code:
The x,y,z variable assignments are only in the window.onload function for the sake of clarity, but the event object instantiation block has to be in there for anything to work at all.
I know that the event0,event1,event2 objects work, and are attached to the onclick handler because they will swap the last thumbnail and caption when I click any of the thumbnail links. Of course that's the problem now... any click only activates the last event. It's like it attached the last event to all the onclick event handlers.
In fact, if I only create the event0 object, it works like it's supposed to... but when I create the event1 object, it does what it's supposed to and it takes over for event0. Creating event2 makes it take over for all of them. Each subsequent event# object seems to attach its own addy[ ] and caption[ ] to each previous x[ ] link.
I must admit that the more I use and learn JavaScript, the more
convinced I am that it is one of the most expressive languages I know.
Without ways to access file i/o or databases though, can JavaScript be
considered as a serious general purpose language?
I am doing a script, like:
I have anonymous function "xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {}" in the method "this.update" of an object that receives 2 arrays through AJAX. I need these 2 arrays to be assigned to this.images and this.folders, respectively, through this anonymous function. I try to use "var self" technique, but it doesn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn some pages of my website I use a code like the following:
for (var n = 0; n < getTagsArray("SPAN").length; n++){
//SPAN is just an example. I also use other tags
tag = getTagsArray("SPAN")[n];
//make something with tag...
}
function getTagsArray(Tag){
if(document.all){ //Internet Explorer
return document.all.tags(Tag);
}
else if (document.layers){ //Netscape
eval("return document.tags." + Tag);
}}
I want to put all browser-specific code inside the getTagsArray
function. So far, I've programmed only for Internet Explorer (my
browser), but now I want to make my website visible to all browsers.
I'm not sure about the getTagsArray function. Is it right or is there
a better way to do the same thing? And how can I extend that function
to make it work in other browsers?
Finally, where can I find some information about cross-browser
programming? I have the javascript reference for Internet Explorer and
Netscape, but I know nothing about other browsers.
Have someone experience with javascript programming on windows mobile. the event.keycode will not work.

Does Javascript supply a function that destroys an object? If so, is there a
dependancy on Javascript version?
Is it possible to have something like the following so that 'three'
can access 'one':
var x = {
one: 1,
two: { three:this.one } // Or parent.one ?
}
If not (which I have nearly come to a conclusion on) what is the next
best way to accomplish this?
