I am looking to use a spell checker in my multi-field forms and am trying to
find something open source and easy to install and use.
It could be either AJAX, DHTML or Javascript.
Visitors enter information in textarea's and form fields and I wish to allow them to have this spell checked before submitting.
What methods are open to me to do this.
Can anyone recommend a good javascript drop-down menu?
I am searching for one with these features:
- can easily be used for horizontal and vertical menus;
- is search engine friendly (not mandatory);
- resizes properly when increasing/decreasing browser text sizes;
There are so many choices, and so little time, so if you know of any great ones that are free or affordable, please let me know.
Form validation using JavaScript has never been as easy and simple! We
have developed a free generic form validation script that can validate
any form with very little JavaScript required in form!
For example:
A normal HTML form with out validation:
I have a whole heap of Javascript that I want to compress (by removing line breaks etc). When laid out with line breaks, all works fine. When compressed ... BANG!
I suspect that there is a semi-colon missing somewhere which is only breaking when the return is removed. However, I'd like to run the whole block of javascript through an online validator instead of straining my eyes trying to locate the piece of the script at fault.
Is there such a thing? When I search for 'Javascript validator', I get a whole heap of links to using javascript to validate forms and such like!
I have 2 fields. Products and Date. I want an availability checker that will make sure the item is available. Here is my script:
[Code]...
I have a form that will display either text boxes to edit a start and end date or just display nothing depending on the selection from a <select>. I am using JavaScript and DHTML to accomplish this and the code below works fine. When the page loads my <select> will have a value already.
My question is how do I get the correct block of code to show up when the page loads depending on what is already selected? I can't use an onLoad in the body tag because I am unable to edit the body tag. Code:
I am testing in IE7.
I display one of several spans when the user mouses over some code.
Inside the span are several tabs. Clicking on the tab triggers a JS
function that hides the "current" text for the span, then shows the
"new Current" box. It's a constantly revolving door- turn off old,
turn on new. Switch from one span to another and reset the fields.
When I switch between different "spans" then switch back, there are
ghost form elements on the screen (a text area, a blank button) that
appear near where they should be. The section that I was last on does
not display. This occurs when switching between different spans.
HOWEVER, when I set a javascript alert to display what the old visible
and new visible divs are within each span, none of these problems
occur- everything displays correctly. It's as if the alerts "reset"
the javascript display in some fashion. The errors only happen when
the alerts are not on.
Does anyone know why this might happen or if it's a common occurence
that these problems disappear when an alert is used? If I don't use an
alert, how do you display JS variables during testing. Here are some
of my JS functions. Code:
Is DHTML a language? or is it a composition of JavaScript and css? Does Java(not javascript) has something to do in it?
What is actually the best to create client-side dynamic pages?
I know JAVA is used to create applets but I am not sure of wich is the most powerful....
Also, wich are the newer versions of all the above languages?
Is there a way to change the displayed text on a web page using some
combination of Javascript and DHTML? NOT in a text box. As far as I
know (with my limited knowledge) the only way you can do this is with
a textbox or images, which is not what I'd like to do. There's gotta
be a way to do this, right?
When I trying to do:
this.ctrl.style.display = 'block'
Firefox scroll area to the top, but IE not. I think that's bug. Maybe
anyone knows how I can fix that?
I have a word bank for a javascript crossword puzzle I'm working on. What I
want to do is when a user clicks on a word in the word bank, it crosses
itself out. I have tried:
<a href="javascript:this.style.textDecorationLineThrough">text here</a>
to no avail. does anyone have an idea on how to do this?
Is there a way to perform a spell check on a text are using javascript?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone trying out the javascript drop down menus from the Sitepoint Javascript Anthology book might have noticed that in IE7 the sub menus are misaligned, they are offset to far to the right.
Has anyone else come across this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? It has unfortunately broken several of my menus, though if you just try the demo menus from the book in IE7 they also suffer the same problem.
If you've used the Google Gmail spell checker you know that it
'changes' the text area to another type of control that lets them show
hyperlinks for the incorrect words. How does Google change the
textarea? And what do they change it to? I know it should be pretty
simple, I just have no clue because I'm fairly new to DHTML. Any
examples would be greatly appreciated.
recommend a good WYSIWYG HTML editor for jQuery?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been studying Javascript for a couple of months now, but have kind of come to a dead end in terms of in what instances will I need to apply JS to websites and can anyone recommend any Q and A style tutorials, to test myself,My current knowledge (which is very basic) so far contains being able to:
Write a prompt
Write a confirm
write a basic for loop
write a basic while loop
write an array
Any guidance on scenarios to use to demo JS or a good tutorial website for real world scenarios,
can any recommend a good free javascript search engine?It must work locally i.e. not require a server to work
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know this has to be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm debuggin' someone elses code...
x="hello";
+x+"world"
....and I don't get it! What does the "+x+"world" do? If I alert(x) the only thing that comes out is "hello". I also wondered why it doesn't error without the ";" at the end of the line.
This is a novice question, but I'm stumped. I have a variable with a bunch
of text assigned to it. Now I want to email the value of the variable. I
have a simple form that asks for their name and emails that, but how do I
add the variable result?
I know nothing of js yet, I'm still studying CSS & PHP. So I'm just looking for a ready made script for vertical scrolling. I found one that does exactly that, but all the css styling is done in the javascipt, so I was completely lost. I want to be able to just enter the html (into the js array if neccessary, I can do that much lol) and have it scroll upwards, simple as that. The nearest thing I could find to what I want is this Creating a vertical content scroller using DHTML I can style my div & images myself, then all I need to do is enter the html and away it goes, but it functions just like the marquee tag in that it waits for the entire content to clear before it starts scrolling again.

Mixture of PHP & JavaScript as you can see.

I not much of JavaScript Developer, I'm a member of the copy and paste JavaScript Generation, so perhaps someone can tell me where I'm going wrong with my function to compare two dates:
var dt1=document.booking.fromDate
var dt2=document.booking.untilDate
if (Date.parse(dt1.value) >= Date.parse(dt2.value)){
alert("Departure Date must be After Arival Date")
return false
}
return true
The problem seems to be that two date values are been compared as strings, how can I force them to be compared as dates. I thought the Date.parse() function would handle that.
I just finished developing a javascipt component allowing floating
captions to appear over HTML elements....
