Regarding Variables And Creating A Variable Name?
Jan 7, 2010
I'm trying to create a family tree online that has several other related family charts. I want each person's name and birth year to be stored in javascript variables, then I want to be able to just go through the tree, and put the persons name once, and have it put the appropriate name and birthyear in the little boxes that the css is creating.
var johnname = "John Smith";
var johnbirthyear = "Jan 1 1930";
var janename = "Jane Doe";
[code]....
So I thought I had it all figured out. I thought that the above would take the id of John that I added, go to the line that sets the name, add john to the word name, and then document write the variable of johnname from the js file. I know you're laughing at me because of course it instead made the value of name to johnname, then wrote the word johnname in the box. I want to go through and be able to just type the persons name in the html for that box once, and have it update with their appropriate info.

how you would piece
together a variable name and then assign it a value. I want to create a
hidden field and assign it a value based on the value of another variable
Right now it looks like:
("document.all.SM_MARK_10" + dateNumber + ".value")
where dateNumber is an already defined integer. What I want is to say
document.all.SM_MARK_1001.value="XX"
document.all.SM_MARK_1002.value="X2"
etc.
based on that value of dateNumber. Any way to do this easily?

I have a flash object count down clock, that uses the following:
value="server={NOW}&localtime={LOCALNOW}
I need to somehow put the server time and localtime into a javascript to use with the above. The variables should be in Unix time. Does that some sense? I'm starting to google out some javascript time examples, but haven't quite gotten it figured out yet. I think its probably alot simpler than I'm making it out to be.

I have an e-commerce site which is hosted and I'm not allowed to place any server side script on, nor am I allowed to access any server side variables. I need to be able to create variables based on page content (i.e. order total, products, quantities) and send them to my web analytics program.
Does anyone know if this is possible?? Or do you have any idea how I can gather the information that I need?

how to store variables in cookies so that I can later use them in php code.Here is the basic javascript I want to use:
Code:
function alertSize() {
var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {[code]....
Now, I want to save myWidth and myHeight in a cookie(s) but I don't know how to. The window.alert() will only be for testing purposes and will not be needed in the final code. I also need to know if the codes need to be in certain sections such as <head>, etc.]

I'm having some trouble with the Switch Statements. My program runs without it so I know that the problem is here. I believe the logic is sound so it may be due to incorrect syntax. The purpose of this function is to create bars, and the length of the bars is determined by the value of the "percent" variable (which is working fine) in the For loop after the Switch statements. The variable, "partyType" contains any of the text strings, such as "I", "D", etc.
function createBar(partyType,percent){
var barText;
switch(partyType){
case "D":
barText="<td class='dem'></td>";
break;
case "R":
barText="<td class='rep'></td>";
break;
case "I":
barText="<td class='ind'></td>";
break;
case "G":
barText="<td class='green'></td>";
break;
case "L":
barText="<td class='lib'></td>";
break;
default: document.write("hi");
}
for(var i=1; i<percent; i++){
document.write(barText);
}}}

String.prototype.trim = function(){
return this.replace(/^s+|s+$/g, "");
}
[code]....
It's possible with numbers:
var myNum = 10;
myNum++;
alert(myNum); //11

I'm using a form data reference, something like P-1234 for example to create a text file and a link to the file. This is during the construction of a new table or table row with javascript. I have an array of one or more references submitted via form using $_POST. On my action page I am creating a txt file P-1234. If I am creating a table ot table row using createElement(), one of the cells will have a link to the file. If the file is created as follows:
$File = $_POST['ref'][$i] . "txt";
After creating the cell
var Cell = document.createElement('td');
[code]....
I assume the link is inserted using innerHTML? If so, do I just append the filename to the end of the file path like this?
Cell.innerHTML = "http://localhost/Project/+File";

I'm trying to build a page that shows random, alternating divs, and have looked at this page as an example. However, the issue at the moment is that although the divs display randomly, they do not disappear in order.The finished "page" is to be referenced by another page that I do not have control over. Here is the section of the file containing JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
var curcontentindex=0
var messages=new Array()
[code]....
I've found very little info on how to reference a previous variable...maybe create an array to store them in, but wasn't sure how to go to the previous value in the array.

Here's my problem: I need to create a variable name dynamically, made up of a string (say "var_name_") and an integer. Ultimately I want something like this:
var_name_1 = 'whatever value I want'
var_name_2 = 'whatever value I want'
var_name_3 = 'whatever value I want'
...
var_name_N = 'whatever value I want'
But the actual variable names are determined at run-time, so I can't just hardcode them.
Any suggestions? JavaScript doesn't seem to have a Variable type, so I can't just cast a string into a var...

I'm having trouble with something that I can't explain outside of an example. Code:
Code:
$js_info_tabs = json_encode($valid_array);
$script = <<<JAVASCRIPT
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
function changeTo(id) {
[Code]....
I have the code this way in order to consolidate it since I would prefer to do that instead of checking the selected ID and manually checking against all possible IDs (which works flawlessly, it just takes up about 5x the lines and is not modular). What I have above also works, but there is one fatal flaw:
It seems like the anonymous function that is the onclick for each unselected element becomes "return changeTo(tab + '_id')", but I don't want it to be that. I want the argument to actually be what tab is instead of the variable.
What ends up happening is that after changeTo() is called for the first time, any element you click will result in the last element being the selected one, as if it's using the final value of tab as its return value.
This doesn't make any sense, though, since tab is local, and deleting it before the function exists doesn't work. Deleting elem at the end of the for loop doesn't work. I honestly don't understand what's going on or why it doesn't set the new onclick value correctly.
Basically I just want changeTo(tab + '_id'); to turn into changeTo('MYID_id'); instead, but it simply doesn't do that and I can't figure out a way how.

var x = "blahblah".indexOf("blahblah");
if (x !== -1){
// do something with x
[Code].....
Is there some syntax/code structure that allows something like this:
if ( (var x = "blahblah".indexOf("blahblah")) !== -1){
// do something with x
alert("Present");
[Code]....

I would like to store a variable then call it back later. I have a variable on line 198
www = ''+this._ad.clickUrl+'';

I am probably going about this all wrong, but I'm not sure how to do this.Basically I need to create a unique variable name for each element that has the same class name and set each one to zero.I thought I could just concatenate the index value to a variable name to create unique names. Something like:
$('.toggle-trigger').each(function(){
var toggleTriggerIndex = $('.toggle-trigger').index(this);
var t + toggleTriggerIndex = 0;
[code]....

I am working on a javascript for my blackberry. I am trying to capture the latitude and longitude of that phone. I am able to get the coordinates in an alert box but am having a little trouble writing it to a form input field.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL]">
<html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>GPS Testing</title>
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(blackberry.location.GPSSupported){
document.write("Your device supports GPS locating");
blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(window.alert("Latitude: " + blackberry.location.latitude + " Longitude: " + blackberry.location.longitude));
var lat = blackberry.location.latitude();
var lng = blackberry.location.longitude();
blackberry.location.refreshLocation();
document.write(lat);
}
</script></body></html>
I am only able to test with Blackberry. I was trying to create a couple of variables with the "var lat =" and var lng =".
With this script I get the alert window and when I click ok it writes "Your device supports ...".

Currently I have the following script:-
function validate_form(){
if(regform.reguser.value == ""){
alert("Please completed the selected box");[code]....
to validate a simple registration form, however I initially tried to streamline this function by cycling through an array using a loop to point to various input elements in the HTML page itself. I found that when trying to use a variable in the aforementioned if statements the javascript failed to work i.e.
var test = "reguser";
if(regform.test.value = ""){
}
I know the javascript is looking for the input element "test" instead of "reguser" but is there any way I can force it to look for the contents of the variable.

I have a program written in Javascript and fully functioning which takes a user-selected directory name and then displays all the photos in that directory in a certain format.
I am now wanting to expand the program to allow users to optionally enter their own strings and the program will use all the photos from www.flickr.com which use that string as a tag.
I have a PHP interface to flickr (called PHPflickr) which collects all the relevant photo urls. I now need to get these images back into my Javascript so I can process them using the existing functions (rather than rewrite all my functions in PHP code and have two sets of functions in the program). I found on another thread a means to do this for a date variable:
var jsArray = new Array(
<?php
$length = count($monthDataArray);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
echo '"' . addslashes($monthDataArray[$i]) . '"' . (($i < $length - 1) ? ',' : '') . "
";
}
?>
but being completely new to PHP I'm not sure what "addslashes" might be or what formatting will be necessary if I am starting with an array of urls. Code:

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.

Ok, so I've built a member search using ajax to change the results each time a filter is changed. It works great, except one minor issue that I'm struggling with...I just can't specify dynamically in the parent file that linkclass$id opens linkclasscontent$id as I don't know of any way to pass that $id variable back over to the parent.

i'm not really sure how to explain this, since I know nothing about javascript, so i'll try and illustrate by the use of php (hope it makes sence)
I have a set of different links, like:
<a href="link.com?page=text1">text 1</a>
<a href="link.com?page=text2">text 2</a>
<a href="link.com?page=text3">text 3</a>
etc, where page is dynamic and can be anything I chose..
Another place in the same document, I echo out what the page variable is, like:
echo "$page";
so when clicking "text 1" the echo will output what i've defined the page to be, in this case "text1" ..
So I want to be able to click the links and change the output of the echo all depending on what i've defined in the link - without refreshing the page!
Is there any easy way to do this?

a.) specify two parameters for the changeYear function: today and holiday.
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.
