View 11 RepliesPlease tell me about sleep function in javascript
View 11 RepliesFrom some examples, I created a sleep() function which can put a javascript into sleep while it is executing. It is using the IE-only function showModalDialog. Does anybody know a function which does the same in Firefox and other browsers, or a function which also stops the execution of a script temporary?
This is what I got so far:
I'm looking for a sleep function in JS. An event is triggered on mouse-out. But I want the action to kick off x seconds AFTER the event. So, perhaps I'm looking for a "sleep" function in the event function?

We have to develop a small engine which the client uses. It supposed
to work like this. Our engine resides in a frame (frameA) which will
be loaded only once and it provides set of functions. The client can
call these functions. We inturn should get the values from the server
or set the values in the server and return with the values. The way we
are planning to implement is that we will have have another frame
(frameB hidden) and submit it whenever the client (frameClient) calls
our function and wait till the page reloads and return with the value
( set in the reloaded page by the server). The problem we face now is
that we don't have any sleep functionality in javascript ( being event
driven) and if we have a loop waiting for the reply, it will consume
the cpu cycles and the the frameB wont load.
I like to have a sleep or delay function in javascript. The Prototype library 1.6.1 has a delay function. It is working well in Firefox or Chrome but not IE 7 on windows XP. (I cannot use newer version of windows).
Code:
function sleep()
{
}
sleep.delay(0.1);
I'm working on some code and am running into brick walls. I'm trying
to write out Javascript with Javascript and I've read the clj Meta FAQ
and didn't see the answer, read many similar posts (with no luck
though), and searched through the IRT.ORG Faqs
(www.irt.org/script/script.htm).
The Javascript is designed to open an popup window and then inside that
window call another script which will resize that window. There may be
another way around this but the reason I tried this approach initially
was that I wanted to call the onload handler in the popup window to
resize the image only after the image had completely loaded. I've had
some code in the primary Javascript file (showimage.js) before that
works if the image has been cached but on the first load, it doesn't
resize properly which tells me it is probably because it is trying to
resize the window based on the image size but it isn't completely known
at that point. So I removed that code and tried placing the resizing
code in the second Javascript file (resizewindow.js). BTW I've tried
other code to open a popup image and automatically size it ie Q1443 at
irt.org but that doesn't do exactly what we need.
Even if there is another way to do this with one file, I still want to
figure out why this isn't working in case I run into it in the future.
I thought what I would need to do to use document.writeln to write
Javascript would be to escape any special characters and to break
apart the script tag ie
document.writeln('</SCRIPT>');
would become
document.writeln('</SCR' + 'IPT>');
I have a HTML page and 2 Javascript files. All files are in the same
directory and have permissions set correctly.
Here are the 3 files (keep in mind wordwrap has jacked up the
formatting):
index.html
----------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"
SRC="showimage.js">
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
Click the house<BR>
<A ONCLICK="newWindow1('house1.jpg','Nice House')"><IMG
SRC="house1thumb.jpg"></A>
</body>
</html>
showimage.js
------------
function newWindow1(pic,sitename)
{
picWindow=window.open('','','width=25,height=25,sc rollbars=1,resizable=1');
picWindow.document.writeln('<html> <head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<SCR' + 'IPT type="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="resizewindow.js"></SCR' + 'IPT>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<body onload="resizewindow();">');
picWindow.document.writeln('<img src=' + pic + '>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</body> </html>');
picWindow.document.close();
}
resizewindow.js
---------------
function resizewindow()
{
// Do resizing here.
// Right now this isn't being executed
alert("resizing window");
}
Can anyone provide some pointers as to why this javascript is failing?
I'm using IE6 on Win2k and when I click on the image to open the popup
window, it does open the window but it is white with no content and the
system immediately goes from about 4% CPU usage to 100% and
consistently stays there until I kill that window with the task
manager.
I'm getting errors in Firefox everytime I try to run this frame resize code, but it works fine in IE. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is with it.
The error is: Error: theFrame has no properties
Line: 8
The line that the javascript console is showing an error for is in italics.
code from page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var defaultCols="100px,*";
var hiddenCols="0px,*";
function ShowHideMenu(){
theFrame = document.getElementById("framed");
if(theFrame.cols == defaultCols) theFrame.cols=hiddenCols;
else theFrame.cols=defaultCols;
}
</script>
<frameset cols="100px,*" name="framed">
<frame src="lframe.htm" name="frameMenu">
<frame src="mframe.htm" name="content">
</frameset>
</head>
<body>
</body></html>
Come someone let me know what I'm doing wrong here?
I have some javascript that I have written into the <body> section and it works great. But I would like to make it into a javascript function and define the function in the <head> section. Then in the <body> section write a small bit of javascript that would call the function() object. Code:

consider this code below:

will to look replace the text inside the toremove variable, or will it
just replace the variable name?
I have three different web pages with different domains, and I want to
show some pages of one of the webs in the others.
I use an iframe for this and it shows it good until I have to call a
javascript function in the iframe inside page, I have a permission
denied because the domains of these pages are different.
So, the cuestion is:
Is there some way to call the javascript function of the iframe from
the parent page?
Where can I download a complete javascript function list?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn IE, it looks like you can have to many characters in a javascript function.
The content of an entire html page is put into this function...
function updateTemplate(content) {
content=content.replace(/'/g, ''');
content=content.replace(/"/g, '"');
content=content.replace(/</g, '<');
content=content.replace(/>/g, '>');
Element.update('template',content);
}
it seems to cut off the content after about 2060 characters. is that an IE thing or is there something wrong with my code. FF does it fine...
If it is an IE thing, is there anyway around it?
I bringing up a list of movies in a separate window where each one has an
"onclick" function which is suppose to call a procedure and pass in the
variables and display the details of the selected record. When I click on a
record nothing happens. Code:
I have a select dropdown and 5 text fields. based on the option
selected (which are the units - cm/mm/inches/ft/yard etc), i change
the values in the text fields using javascript to the corresponding
units.
my problem is that when the options are selected very quickly(for eg
using the keyboard's up/down keys) then quickly, the text field values
lose their connection with the select box and the values become
illegal.
I suspect that the javascript function is being called even before the
earlier execution has not terminated. I tried using a global variable and using it as a lock, but still no success.
I am coding an AJAX DHTML whatever application and I was fed up with
always typing a lot of appendChild() functions.
I created a custom one called append_children() and wanted to share it
if anyone need such a function.
function append_children() {
var a = append_children.arguments;
for ( var i = a.length - 1; i > 0 ; i-- ) {
try {
a[i-1].appendChild(a[i]);
} catch(e) {
for ( var j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++ ) {
append_children(a[i-1], a[i][j]);
}}}}
i tried checking for document.function_name(), but that apparantly does

I have a input field like this
<input name="To" type="text" class="input" value="<%=toList%>" size="106"
this calls validateUser() as soon as I update the input field and lose focus
from it.
What I want is that this validateUser() should also be called on the intial
<%=toList%> that I am filling. I tried adding
but that didn't work.
What should I use ?
function CheckImageBtn(eleName,sortfield)
{
document.forms[0].sortby.value=sortfield;
document.forms[0].txtIsHrefClick.value = 'Y'
var objElem;
objElem=eval("document.all."+eleName);
objElem.focus();
objElem.click();
return true;
}
I have the following function to get the total qty:
function calttl()
{
var ttlqty
ttlqty=0
for (i = 0; i <= document.qtymain.orderdetail.length-1; i++)
{
ttlqty = ttlqty + document.qtymain.qty.item(i).value
}
}
The problem I have is the document.qtymain.qty.item(i).value I get
look like a string, so the number I get for ttlqty is not add up the
number but concatenate.
How do I convert the value I get to a number in javascript?
I have simple function that I call from an alert box
alert(testScore);
It works fine. Unfortunately, I do not like the sound and Exclamation
point icon that appears. I'd like a nice message box like VBA message
box #64 to appear. I know hardly anything at all about VB or VBA.
But, I do know you can call a VB function from Javascript. How? Is it
possible to get my testScores to appear from the VB function? Is it
hard? Where do I start looking?
