View 1 RepliesI have what seems to
be a robust, working word counter script. I post it here to benefit
others that might want this in the future and so that if I ever lose
my copy I can come back here to find it :) Some other scripts that I
used for inspiration failed when confronted with whitespace before the
string or miscalculated when encountering linefeeds and other
non-space spaces, so I made mine better. Definition of words for this
exercise is contiguous groups of characters separated by whitespace. Code:
Could anyone tell me how to create a user-object using javascript in a HTMl page and access the same object in another HTML page? Assume that i would like to create the user-object myObj in HTML page1, set some value to its property and then i would use location.href to load HTML page2 in the same window. Is there a way to access the user-object myObj in page2 script and read its property value?

I somehow managed to create a script that locks up Mozilla (1.3)
tight. Here's the culprit, perhaps y'all can provide some insight
into what the trouble is. (This script was cobbled together from
several different word-count routines I found on the web, none of
which worked correctly in all cases.)
function trim(data)
{
i=0;
while (/s/.test(data.charAt(i)))
{data=data.substring(i,data.length);}
i=data.length;
while (/s/.test(data.charAt(i))) {data=data.substring(1,i);}
return data;
}
function countWords()
{
input=document.forms[0].elements[0].value;
input=trim(input);
wordList=input.split(/s+/g);
output=wordList.length;
return output;
}
activated via a button: onClick="alert(countWords())"
I am a total newbie, but am trying to get my feet wet by adding some JavaScripts into/onto my website that I am creating. I am trying to have people "upload a file" which will then take them to my order page where it will tell them how many words their "file" has, then in the background divide the number of words by 350 for the page count then multiply by my price per page, then display their cost of their job? I seen one like that on another website [URL].. but cannot figure out how they did it. I'd like to be able to put this at the top of my order page where after they see the cost, they would fill in their own info (which I know how to do) and then submit the whole thing along with payment.

You can see it here:http://vtribes.com/inc/swf/services.htmlThis morning I decided I needed some fall back content for those odd types who still refuse to either use Flash plugins, or don't have the latest version. So I came up with a simple CSS/JS table with tabs to replicate the Flash movie, and thought I'd share it for anyone who might be interested.You can find it here:http://vtribes.com/inc/tabbedTable.htmlIt's very simple, but would work just fine if you wanted a tabbed dialog in HTML. It will also explain some rudimentary points in CSS, JS and HTML.

editing below code:
I used AJAX in this link code...
You have to go open the navigation box on the top left (sorry I have to simplify this in the future!) and then click the third link Compare Two Bible Texts. Once you enter a word in the first textarea and select the book, chapter, and verse it doesn't record it in the textbox underneath the verse dropdown select.
Anything wrong with this AJAX code?code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a text (sentence) in a textbox. How do I select a word under the mouse pointer/cursor? That textarea may not have focus in it. My plan is to find the index of the cursor position on the textarea. then go left and right from that index. Stop on getting space on both side. Find both the indexes and select that range. But I am not able to do it. I am stuck in the first step.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.

I have a textarea with a specific width. I have wrap="off" set because I don't want to force my users to wrap if they don't want to. The reason for this is because this textarea is where the user is typing an email message. However I have a background image set on the textarea with a verticle line going down the textarea which indicates to the user the "Recommend Width"What I want to do is provide them with a link to click on which says something like "Wrap Lines" and when they click on it, the text within the textarea would wrap to the "Recommended Width" line in the background image. The maximum length of a line should be 53 characters when they click on "Wrap Lines" link.So I did some searching around and the code I came up with is:
Code:
function showLines(max, text) {
max--;
text = "" + text;
var temp = "";
var chcount = 0;

I am wanting the user to move their mouse over a word and a description should appear. Like this: [URL], move your mouse over copyright symbol, which is down in the right hand corner of the photo. Could someone please tell how to do this? I know this would need JavaScript, but not sure what to search for in a search engine.

Its a simple word checker that provides a prompt and you input a single word no punctuation or white space and then answer question does begin with vowel and if there are two adjacent vowels.
This is my first javascript:
I have been practicing using canvas to make designs. My current code below will load the word the user inputs and makes it bounce around the canvas as well as a text spinner. However, whenever the user inputs a second word, the bounce below stops to start a new one and the text spinner messes up. so when the user inputs another word, that it either reloads a new textspinner or adds another one, as well as just add the word to the canvas without stopped the old one.

I am trying to make a gui for clients to edit a php page that displays html and javascript.
I want the user to be able to move html elements around and even edit it like add effects like fade in and out etc.
Then after all the changes I want to overwrite the existing php file that does this for that user. how can you make such changes and then save it to a file?
It's an html / javascript editor but using a gui instead of allowing them to directly touch the code. It would be a security risk if I allow such a thing. So I need to program a interface that would make such changes and save them to file.
Like how can you delete and add new javascript code to the file?
I have a website that I am maintaining that was built some time ago. There is a little speaker icon on a page that allows a user to click to hear the pronunciation of a word.

It does not work in all browsers and I am wondering what the alternative should be?
I know that we can split() a string into an array, if we have a string in an input field like this, "javascript rocks"
what if there is only one keyword in the input field?
for instance, it is only a word - "javascript"?
The form allows users to enter there details, and when they click on the signup button the following is suppose to happen
1. Thank you note for signing up is displayed, including details they just entered
2. The details entered are stored in an array
3. When you want to view all signups you can click on a signup button and all details are shown
4. The form resets and clears all input fields
I have a form that allows input and functions that validate input, store input, and shows the input and html for the design layout. [code] The two buttons are called signup and members [code]When i run it i can enter all the details and click on signup all the details are still there and then i click on members and it shows all the details i have just entered along side the string signup but it also displays the words 'undefined', so I think there are problems with the array.
I am trying to create a text area input filed for user input, and i want to be able to allow the user to format thier text, just like the ones used in this user forum.
