Pulling A Var From A Js File

Jul 23, 2005

In the head I have:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="myfirst.css">
<script src="myfirst.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have the following in 'myfirst.js' file:
var writastring ="<table width="250" border="2"><tr>
<td>Here is my first script text</td></tr></table>"

I have the following in the myfirst.css:
#ontheleft{position:absolute; left:10px; top:50px; }

In the body of the HTML file directly below the body tag is this:
<div id="ontheleft">
<script language="javascript">
document.write(writastring)
</script>
</div>

My problem is that it writes.......Fanfare........exactly nothing.. nada.

And yes they are all in the same path. Even if I change to this: var writastring="OK! Write this" nothing is written. Even leaving out the Div tags nothing changes.

The purpose of this exercise is to assemble content in the
JS file and then write it in any number of pages.

Pulling Values From Excel File With JS?

Mar 2, 2010

I am creating a template generator page that generates a webpage based on what I fill in for certain elements like image name, img src, book title, book author, etc. and these values are sent to me in an excel document which right now I just open and copy and paste everything from the excel document into the form fields for each section.So for example the client sends over a list of book titles they want featured on the page this week and they include author name, author link, book name, book url, img src, etc. and I just copy those new fields into my template and then click generate and the updated HTML code is there for me to copy.

This part works totally fine but in the interest of saving time copying upwards of 100 fields from an Excel file into my template, is there a way I can select the excel file (stored locally) on my page with a "browse" directory form and then have a button that runs SQL queries on my Excel document to pull these updated titles, images, etc into my form fields dynamically?Do I need to utilize server technology for this or is there a simple script that when I click a button, will look at whatever excel file I have selected and say "grab this row at this column"?What is the best way to do this?'m relatively a noob when it comes to this stuff but I do know javavscript and SQL pretty well.

I have a dropdown menu that is structured by AJAX but some of the options have href values within i.e.

Pulling Images From Picasa Into A Slideshow?

Jun 11, 2009

I know that Picasa does give the facility of exporting images as a slideshow, but their version contains user controls which we don't want and it is also in Flash - our IT dept don't really support Flash!

Anyway, the slideshow I would like to use and the image gallery display using Picasa images that I have already done can be seen on this test page [URL].

The gallery pulls the images from Picasa using the API in the page body:

<script src="http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/cycletheyorkshiredales/album/CycletheDales1?authkey=Gv1sRgCKuzudmF-bC5aA&kind=photo&alt=json-in-script&callback=output&access=all">
</script>

[Code].....

- so that the slideshow can be called using the images from the array called fadeimages.

Edit Data After Pulling It Out From Mysql

Jun 26, 2010

I am trying to set up a web based tool for my wife and I to use to balance our checkbook together. I am using HTML, Javascript (Ajax), PHP and MYSQL. I have read beginner books on all of these subjects, I can get data out of MYSQL, BUT can't do it the way I want to do it. If someone could point me to a book, or even the name of what I need to study it would be very helpful. The top line will always be input. But as you submit the top line it refreshes the "growing list" beneath it. (kind of like on-line banking, where you can look at 50 or so lines and then go back further if necessary) The catch is within the "growing list" I want to show Bank and book balance running totals and have three buttons next to each transaction ... EDIT DELETE SUBMIT. If edit is clicked, I want to be able to change that line and then resubmit it to MYSQL.

[Code]...

This way we can both input our transactions as we spend money and know at all times how much money is in the account. What do I need to study to be able to program this?

Pulling Form Information From Another Window

Jul 21, 2005

I have a form input field and a link right beside it...
The input field is a text based field it will contain a name from a list of current names... the link is a search button which brings up a smaller window if the user does not know a name... this way they can search in the smaller window using a dropdown menu otherwise just type the name into the form... my windows and stuff pop up fine but i can't figure out how to make the value of the input field equal that of the selected information in the pop-up windows form field when it closes...

Onclick: Prompt Pulling Data Within An Array

Jan 30, 2010

I should warn, i know almost nothing about javascript. i've been trying read sample scripts and examples on how to modify this script; but I just don't know enough. I have a script that pulls data from an array, and copies it directly to the clipboard when a user clicks on it. The problem is this only works in IE, because Firefox doesn't by default allow that to happen. I'm trying to change it so that when it is clicked, instead, it takes what was going to be copied to the clipboard, and puts it in a Prompt box for the user to copy and paste. I had other scripts that do that, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to learn from it!

OnClick Or OnMouseOver - Pulling Information From An Element Whose Id = 27...which Is Not What I'd Like?

Feb 4, 2011

I use mostly PHP with my office's website as it usually requires some interaction with the server. However, i would like to do something that does not,and figured JS should be able to take care of it.What i would like to do seems rather simple:I have a calendar. I would it to do one of two things:

1. Using onclick, when the user clicks on a date, i would like it to print something underneath the calendar. Similar to an error message that shows up on a login form if you type something wrong in a field using PHP (if(isset($whatever))).

2. Or using onMouseover, if the user hovers over a date that i have something special scheduled, i want a message to either pop up (alert()) or similar to #1, show up below the calendar.

While fiddling with it this afternoon i figured i was close, but i am missing something...

<td><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById("27").innerHTML='President's Day'; return false;">27</a></td>

But this seems to be pulling information from an element whose id = 27...which is not what i'd like..

Pulling Data From A Text Box Input To A Variable

May 20, 2010

I am trying to create a page that will pull data out of an input text box to a variable. I am then trying to take that data and punch it into a function, to eventually spit out the answer back on the web page. It has to do with telling the user to enter how many hours worked and their pay rate. I have included the code below. The problem I seem to be having is that I want to click a button to pull the data, then output the result in another script below the input boxes. I may have over done it with the functions, but what can I say..I'm lost! When I try to run it, I have the document.write cmd in there that is supposed to output the variable grossPay. Instead, it shows all the code instead of the value.

If I have something else wrong, or if I am making poor choices let me know. For some background, so far I am in the beginning stages of functions, if..else statements, so I am not trying to get crazy with this. Just something simple.

Ajax :: Dropdown Menu Pulling Info From MYSQL Database?

Jun 20, 2009

I need to create three dropdown boxes (box 1:colour, box 2: price, box 3:brand) and when the user presses "GO" they are returned with the correct information, pulled from corresponding fields in my MYSQL database.

For example, colour: silver, price £100-£200, brand:samsung...should return 5 items on the page. I do not need the dropdown boxes to populate depending on ther previous selection - they are static, so to speak. If possible, I would like the information to be retuned to my page without the URL changing, which leads me to think I will need to be ausing ajax....?

JQuery :: 1.8.2 Datepicker - Two Fields - Doesn't Appear To Be Pulling In That Css As The Widget Is Pretty Spread Out And Has No Borders

May 27, 2010

I'm trying to implement the datepicker and I have two fields on my form:Birthdate& Lived here since? In my header I have:

[Code]...

When I click on the 1st date field (birthday) it mostly works... I say mostly because it doesn't appear to be pulling in that css as the widget is pretty spread out and has no borders etc. When I click on the 2nd date field (here since?), absolutely nothing happens. Surely this supports multiple date fields on the same form so what am I doing wrong?
