Resetting And Restarting SetTimout() Within The Same Function?
Dec 23, 2010
I'm trying to set up an form validation through ajax and php. My goal is to have the php script called after the user stops typing, but without the need to exit the field (so, I don't want to use onChange or onBlur). I would like to use an "onKeypress" (or onKeyup/onKeydown) command with a delay (setTimout) of about a second or so. This way, the php script will not be called on every key stroke, but once the user pauses typing long enough for the setTimout to expire, and only then will it call the php script and perform the validation check.
Part of the script I'm having problems with is resetting the setTimout after each key stroke. I've got this much working:
Code:
<script>
function execute() {
setTimeout("validate()", 1000);
}
[Code]....
how to properly reset the timer after key strokes?
I have a google map which shows a car moving along a line that it reads from xml.the problem is that if the user clicks the button again without reloading the page, the map moves but the car remains at its last point.From what I can figure out, this means that the startAnimation() function has restarted but the animate(d) function has not restarted. but trying to call the animate(d) function from the button, where the startAnimation() gets called,is there some way of resetting the animate(d) function when the startAnimation() function gets called, so everything goes back to the start? Or is there some other way of "refreshing" everything without reloading the page?
function delayLoad() { setTimeout('window.open('test.swf','FacNews', 'width=303,height=757,left=1005,top=0')',3000); }
test.swf is a flash file within the same folder. I am invoking this function using
<body onload="delayLoad()">
What am I doing wrong for this not to delay the load by three seconds? I am having a system login that spawns a child window so I need to delay the window load of the swf so that it is on top. Its been years since I've done javascript, is there some other kind of methodology that I could possibly use?
This is probably noobalicious so apologies, i have a checkbox i am checking on and off and then setting a readonly input with a value depending upon if it is checked on/off
This works fine for one click on or off but then how do i get back out of the function once this cycle has been done once? Set something to null?
Is there a way to stop a carousel (created with jcarosellite 1.0.1) when it has ben set up with auto-scrolling? I need to be able to stop it and restart it when a button is pressed. If I can't can you please suggest me a plugin that have infinite scrolling, auto-scrolling and I can stop/restart?
i downloaded a slideshow script called galleria. problem is when it loads, my header image, which i have sliding in, gets really choppy. so, i want the galleria script to execute after the header animation is done. i haven't been able to get anything to work, including attempting callback, hacks, and settimeout. here's my current code, which does not delay the beginning of the galleria script. what am i doing wrong, very curious?
I've been messing with this code to make a fade in animation with setTimout. The only thing is addition isn't working on the fade in. A subtraction on a negative works though. This seems strange to me.
changeit.style.opacity -= -0.01; works but when it's changed to changeit.style.opacity += 0.01; there's no fade in. It's the only thing I change. My intuition says to me it should work with addition, but maybe there's something I'm not understanding.
<html>
changeit.style.opacity -= -0.01; if this is set to changeit.style.opacity += 0.01; it doesn't work. What?
Of course this is all just for Firefox for now. If I put this in something useful I'll change it so it'll work in other browsers later.
I have a search page where i have like 10 combo boxes and some radio buttons and check boxes.
Now when the page loads, i do some selection in the combo boxes and when i press reset button it clears all data in the form elements.
But when i select things in combo boxes and do a search by clicking OK button then the search results are displayed there and now if i want to clear all the form elements , i tried to click reset button, but when ever i did a search ie click ok button and after than press reset button reset button is not clearing the form elements.
Reason for this problem: Reset button resets the form to it's state when it was loaded (as opposed to clearing the values) so if the page loaded with the search values in it, when you hit Reset nothing will happen if you haven't changed anything. Code:
I have been searching high and low and I can't seem to find an answer. I am new at JS and I have created an form and when I click the on submit button it resets all the fields. The fields are always blank after I click reset. I have been working on this for 6 hours.
It just keeps resetting when I click Submit. I see for a millisecond that the total appears but then disappears along with the amount I put in the input text box.
I have simple piece of Javascript that enables/disables fields depending on input in others.How can I reset the fields to their original state using the reset button?
First time back here in a while, but I'm trying to get proficient in JS. I want to make my input element reset its value attribute to blank, which is originally set to "your e-mail". You know the effect you see on forms that have text in them, then with the onclick attribute, you can clear the text in the box.
So, after looking around trying to find out what to do, here's what I've attempted.
I am currently making a frogger game and I have code that allows him to move all over the game at the moment using keystrokes. I am trying to write code that causes the frogs position to be reset to his starting place when he reaches a certain area on the screen.
I have a page where a user can select (via check boxes) several categories. Each category is related to a set of possible options (radio buttons) that have numeric values. When one of the options (radio button) is selected, the amount will appear in a text box (input type="text"). The numeric value in the text box will update depending on what category options are selected. However, when the checkbox is deselected, the radio boxes in the <div> are not displayed and I need to remove (reset) the radio button values from the value seen in the text box.
<script type="text/javascript"> var amountNotice = 0; function notice(options)[code]....
Everything works except for my uncheckRadio function - not sure if I am identifying the elements correctly, or if I need a totally new approach. My thinking is that the function must be accessed by the checkbox onClick call. Previously I had tried calling uncheckRadio from the notice function before I recognized is was not an appropriate location.
I have a form with a text box that is greyed out unless a checkbox is checked. The problem is if the checkbox is checked and this enables the text box to enter data and I hit reset, the text box does not reset and turn grey. It allows data to be entered. I have both the html reset button and the javascript clear form, but neither seem to work. How do I reset the text box to grey as well if reset is hit?

I have been playing with and changing here there and everywhere with the help of sitepoint people The code works as it should but the problem im having is that im setting some variables to yes after a certain action has been performed then doing a check to see if its yes or no, when I get to the end of my script I need to reset the variable to no but I cant seem to get it to work correctly. Here is my code:
If an <IMG> specifies a WIDTH but not a HEIGHT, then height is internally determined so as to maintain the image's aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is also preserved if HEIGHT but not WIDTH is specified.
What is the value of an unspecified HEIGHT or WIDTH attribute. How do I dynamically set the attribute to unspecified, after having previously used the <IMG> with explicit HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes?
I have some panels - they slide out when the corresponding tab is clicked. I've used .toggle() to get this working, and animate the right (absolute) position to move the panel left or right. This works fine on it's own, but within the panel, I have to have an additional 'close' button. My script, and I'm sure it's really convoluted, but with my limited knowledge it was the only ways I could think to achieve what I wanted:
HTML: <div id="containerDiv"> <span><a href="#" id="tab">Tab text</a></span> <div id="hiddenDiv"> <p><a href="#" class="xclose">Close</a></p> <p>Nisi natoque rhoncus dictumst enim odio? Arcu ac et, hac in ridiculus dolor placerat, parturient etiam mattis pid nunc tortor quis tincidunt porta sit elementum etiam penatibus, porta augue penatibus sed.</p> </div></div>
Is there some way to either: Check the position ofcontainerDiv before executing the .toggle - so, if right = 0 (set by a.xclose), then start the toggle from the beginning position?2. saying that after #hiddenDiv a.xclose is clicked, reset the position to what's default in the css?
If I try to reset the css-properties of the body of my page with this line of code: $("body").css({"background-image":"url('../images/bodyBack.jpg')","background-color":"#f5e7af","background-repeat":"repeat-x"});
It sets the background-color correctly, but the background-image isn't set.
I have 3 images that I am trying to swap in and out with eachother. It starts off with the "Good Afternoon.gif" then I have a checkbox that changes it from and switches between the "Eyeball.jpg" and the "Smileys.gif" without going back to the "Good Afternoon.gif. That works perfectly fine and as intended. What does not work is my reset button, it unchecks the checkbox that I created as it should be does not set the image back to the "Good Afternoon.gif". I created goodAfternoon and a goodAfternoonFinal images because I am telling the code to to goodAfternoon.src=Eyeball.src; so I have the goodAfternoonFinal to change it back to the original pic.
I am having trouble with figuring a way to set my loop up to reset values of the different coin values. Example, when I put in 78, and click calculate, it tells you how much of each coin would be given back. My problem is that I set it up and run it, but when I put different values in back to back to calculate, some of the fields don't reset.
var change_out = function(){ do { var money = document.getElementById("cents").value;
how to reset both my text boxes when I click a different radio button so that I can give another value in the textbox area. I am trying to do it without a reset button. I am just confused with the process of resetting the values of both the text boxes in the code. I feel like the answer is to put it inline in the <input> tag...
