Setting A Variable From A Select Box Before Function Run?
Jun 17, 2011
I have a google map which gives directions in different languages based on a select box selection. Google gives directions in English as a default, and if you make the selection AFTER the directions are displayed, then it changes languages. All good so far.
But if you make the language selection first, it still displays in English and then you have to select your option again. What I'd like is to say be able to choose "Italian" and for the directions to come up in Italian on the first hit.
My test page is here (http:[url]...) - you can click on "to here" or "from here" and enter "alyzia, greece" in the input box to see what I mean. I'll post the relevant bits of code below, too. locale is the variable the API uses for language selection.
var to_htmls = [];
var from_htmls = [];
var locale;[code]....
Everything works above. The first alert shows that this.status was set to 'error'. However, if I call myClass.getStatus(), I get undefined. How can I get the parseData function to set the variables in the parent function?
Code:I am having problems with the following. I am wanting to hide <tr> in my table (employees) and only show employees that are in the selected department (selected via dropdown box).I need to set a javascript array to a php array. I am looping and assigning the array and am wanting to pass a javascript variable as the index in php array. I have marked my problem lines in red. Thanx for any help.
<script type="text/javascript" > function display_elements() { var departments = new Array;
a user goes to a page, selects a value from a select box then clicks a link to run a report using that hidden variable as a parameter. I am attempting to place the value in the URL to pass it. I'm sure the javascript is working, and maybe it's the HTML I've messed up - not sure.Here is the javascript (the alert does return the correct value):
function OnChangeDay() { //assign the day id to the hidden variable $day x=eval(document.getElementById("day_loc_id_select").value)
[code]....
And here is the HTML that should send the value, but I get day= (nothing)
<a href='/depts/edoptions/excel_extract.php?ex=2&day=<? echo $test_day ?>'>SLIP Data to Excel</a>
I have found a script that works fine for me but I'd like to make it reusable but I have an issue with that. On the script I have something like
function my_function() { var $container = $('#panel .container'); } and I'd like to pass the id (panel in this case) as a parameter like in the example below:
Whenever I try to compile a script I wrote, I get the error, "class, interface, or enum expected" and it points to a spot in my script that I don't think should create an error. code...
I wrote code for a scramble word game and I am trying to set focus everytimge I click on check button..I've got it so it will set focus when I start game, but whenever I put put setFocus() on the onclick of the button it will not work.is there any way the I can have two procedures for onclick.like <input id="inbox" type="text" /><input type="button" value="check" onclick="guess()" "setFocus()"/>I also want to selectall if the word is incorrect not sure how to go about doing this..I did research on this problem, but they all give me examples on applying just one thing to the onclick not two..
I'm trying set an option with a certain value to selected. I'm using this: $('#mySelect option[value="' + myValue + '"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); This has worked in another piece of code I wrote, but now IE 6 and 8 are throwing an error (in the debug bar). It's something similar to this: "The selected attribute couldn't be set. Unknown error." Anyone ever experienced something similar?
Have the Javascript function below which takes the name of an input on the form passed as a variable so that 1 function can check many inputs as I have up to 3 fields per form that can accept this data range.
function contact_number_check(formObj,field) { var obj = document.forms[formObj]; var regExp = /^([0-9 ])+$/; alert(field);
I'm more of an actionscript person but got roped into an html/javascript job.What I need to do, and it shouldn't be that difficult is this:page1.html - there is a yellow button and a red button - if the user clicks on the yellow button I want to set a cookie with the value "yel" then load the next page - if they click the red button set that cookie with the value "red"page2.html - 'onload' i want to read that cookie and load up the main image to match, something like this maybe?... document.mainimage.src='img/main_' + variable + '.png'so that the path would be for example 'img/main_red.png'f you think this would be easier sending that variable in the URL instead of as a cookie please explain. I'm having a very hard time searching for tutorials that are any good and that do exactly this kind of thing.
I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head> $(function() { //function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
I'm trying to change the selected index of a List/Menu based on the value of a Text field, I can pull data and alerts, but setting the selection is not working.

I have a little bit of a complex script where I have a <SELECT> that is pre-loaded with options that are loaded from a database in PHP. But, when this page is loaded the <SELECT> is disabled, and is only enabled when an onChange() is triggered on another <SELECT> that is situated on the same page.
Anyway, when I enable the <SELECT> I would like to have one of the <OPTION>'s selected (instead of having a blank <SELECT>).
The line of JavaScript that I have so far (but isn't really getting me anywhere) to try to select an <OPTION> when the <SELECT> is enabled is as follows...
In order to design a custom select element look in my site, I was messing with the css and opacity value to fade the actual select box and put a background image in a div right above the select element. The functionality of the select box is preserved no matter if opacity is set to 0, so I was able to accomkplish my goal.But, that worked for every other browser around except IE6.Is there a please someone there that encountered this problem and possibly knows some kind of workaround?
I'm trying to write a script with two standard drop down boxes. One contains days one contains the month. I want to update the options in the days box everytime the month is changed... i.e select August, and days are filled up to 31, select September and only 30. The part where I am having difficulty is that after the onChange event has triggered and I have checked what the new month is, filling the box with relevant values is tricky. Code:
I need to pass the selected option of a <select> tag into a query string, so that the page is reloaded with the selected option already chosen. This will occur with the onclick() event hander, and the query string will be processed using a server-side technology. I'm just not sure how to word the "onclick" handler. Here's what I have:
What is the correct wording to set the underlined portion to whatever was selected? I know it has to be done with JavaScript, since the decision is made on the client-side.
I have a single select dropdown in my application which is hidden for one type of user group. Before a user from this group can save any data, I have to explicitly select the default value of this dropdown for him as this dropdown is not visible to him.
Issue: In IE, this default value doesn't get selected as it is not populated but works fine in Firefox. Is this a jQuery bug?
Are there limitation on what can be set for css styles? I have a script which sets a unique id but I wanted to turn user-select off for that item. I thought this would work: var id = 'wrapper_' +(new Date().getTime()); var wrapper = $('<div id='+id+'></div>' ); $(id).css({'-webkit-user-select: none;'});
The error I get is: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }
I'm trying to do something that is slightly complex and I can't find any relevant examples in the usual places,I'm pulling a list of projects (and their IDs) into a select:
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.
I know you guys might be thinking that the if condition is hard coded, and the if will never change. In the real code, php changes the first value of the if's condition.
I think the above code should always set the value 'Type Search Query', in the box. However, it does not set any value.
How I can set a cookie name with the next function: Explanation: if cookie called: "lostpasswd" is present on the web browser of user it can't be access to the page in the next 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the cookie will be destroyer.
I have searched and searched the internet but cannot find information on exactly what I am trying to do.What I am trying to do is set a cookie that will remember if the display status is "none". This is probably something simple but I don't know much about javascript obviously. I've tried a few different approaches but I can never get the script to actually set a cookie.
