Is it possible to test whether two objects are equal using the data they contain inside and not comparing their pointers with ==?
Well actually of course there is but...
Is there a way to do it without actually looping through the object, instead maybe something that came with JS? (something like a .equals() method from other programming languages.)
I've been looking around on the internet search for the right way to check for object equality, but I couldn't really find an answer that I could be sure of to be correct.
I made a vector "class", where mixed types of data can easily be stored in an array. I want to add an equals method to the vector. What is the correct way to check if two objects are equal? Where equal means that both objects hold the same data?
I'm using the standard module pattern and the problem is once you set a private variable, trying to test that object independently becomes a nightmare as the next test is polluted by the actions of the previous.So, the options are to have some reset method (which is horrible), setters on everything (defeats the point) or delete object and re-load script (hideous).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a bit new to JavaScript objects, I have the following object:
LinkTest=function() {
// init
}
LinkTest.prototype.eventHandler=function(){
// the call below fails, as 'this' refers to the link that
// generated the event, and not the instance of LinkTest object
this.doSomething();
}
LinkTest.prototype.register=function(link){
link.onclick = this.eventHandler;
}
LinkTest.prototype.doSomething=function() {
// do something!
}
So basically when you register a link, the onclick event handler gets a reference to LinkTest's eventHandler function. Now when the user clicks on the link, the 'this' refers to the link... how do I reference the instance of LinkTest object from within the eventHandler function?
I am trying to make a function that checks/unchecks a checkbox when a specific <td> is clicked. I need to use this same function for several checkboxes in the page so I want to just pass it the name of the checkbox I want to affect as a variable and use it in the object reference lines. BUT, this doesn't work. I can pass the variable to the function as I've used alert(variable) to test this. But it doesn't work when I put it in a line like this "document.forms[0].variable.checked=true;". Code:
View 4 Replies View RelatedTHE QUESTION: How do I get a reference to my Object when processing an
event handler bound to an html element ?
CONTEXT:
Sorry if it is a bit long.
I am developing a JS calendar tool. One of the requirements is that the
calendar will need to display a varying number of months (1..3)
depending on the calling page. Imagine 1, 2 or 3 calendar pages side by
side as required.
I have built a grid object that will contain one month's dates with the
day names at the top. The calendar object inherits the grid object as an
array of "calendar pages" - one grid per month and the calendar provides
the content for each grid. I will use the grid object for another
completely different object later and so I want to use good OOP
encapsulation. The grid is a table generated on the fly and is "dumb" as
far as what it is used for.
I have attached an onlick event to each cell of the grid. Using OOP
priciples I want the calling program (the calendar object in this case)
to provide a function to handle the click and the grid object will
provide to the calendar the row and column of that cell as well as the
grid number (so the calendar can work out which date was clicked since
it knows what the data means and the grid doesnt). Code:
I have some confusion about the scripts below:
1) is getRule a local variable or global variable, as it has no var keyword, yet it is an inner function of Validation? So without var, I think global, but being an inner function, I think local. So I'm not sure which.
2) In this line of code: var rule = $.Validation.getRule(types[type]), getRule returns rules, which is just a local variable in Validation. I always see that you return functions, but how does returning a local variable that's just an object literal and not a function be able to return true or false? Now the value of rules is an object literal, and this object returns true or false. So we are basically allowed to use return keyword with local variables that are object literals and not functions?
3) In this line, is foo(age) being called, or is it just being assigned to bar OR is it being called and THEN assigned to bar: var bar = foo(age);
4) Now for the most confusing: age is obviously an object reference as opposed to a literal in the example. Does that make a difference in regards to closures?
Note that I read a number of books, including JavaScript Programmer Reference and Object Oriented JavaScript and jQuery cookbook, which compare primitives vs reference types and how primitive types store directly in memory whereas reference tpyes reference memory, so if one reference changes, they all change where primitive remains ingrained. But when assigning a function as a reference like this, how does that affect the object "age" when passed into bar?
Code:
(function($) {
/*Validation Singleton*/
var Validation = function() {
var rules = {
email : {
check: function(value) {
if(value)
return testPattern(value,".+@.+..+");
return true;
}, .....
$.Validation = new Validation();
})(jQuery);
Code:
function foo(x) {
var tmp = 3;
return function (y) {
alert(x + y + tmp);
x.memb = x.memb ? x.memb + 1 : 1;
alert(x.memb);
}}
var age = new Number(2);
var bar = foo(age); // bar is now a closure referencing age.
bar(10);
I've spent several days trying to work this out. Maybe I'm just
searching for the wrong keywords/phrases.
I have some code that looks like:
[-- snippet starts --]
Console = new Object();
Console.init = function() {
this.STDIN = document.getElementById('console0_stdin');
this.STDOUT = document.getElementById('console0_stdout');
// set styles on the element references, eg:
this.STDIN.style.width = ï`%'
this.STDOUT.style.width = ï`%'
}
Console.focus = function() {
this.STDIN.focus();
}
Console.writeln = function(buffer) {
this.STDOUT.value += "
" + buffer;
}
[-- snippet ends --]
I'm not sure why, but the Console.focus() and Console.writeln() methods
just don't seem to be able to use the DOM references stored in
Console.STDIN and Console.STDOUT. Everything's fine in the
constructor, but other methods can't seem to use them.
here when i click the test button it will create a new test button inside div tag.But after that if i clicked new generated test button document.getElementById("test" ).onclick = function() is not working.how can i add functions to new dynamically created fields?

i have a requirement which i would like to solve with jQuery.I need to find all LI-elements which have a # as href url. The LI's are inside an div or ul with the ID=test.Then in the next step, when i loop through this items, i need to add a class=myclass to this elements. BUT it could be that there is no class tag at all, then it needs to be created or there is already a class, then i need to add myclass additonally.

I would like to create a html E-test form run on PC and the data will save into a file on disk. I search online for this function code but found that most the script only save the cookie, is it possible for javascript save form data to file? Here is the ideal for my survay form,
1. user click "start" button for the e-test,
2. user need to finish the e-test with in 20 minutes, after 20 minutes the form will auto submit and the data will save into file,
3. me will go to the file folder open it and print out the qestion and anwser.
4. The file will be detele after i print out and the next user can do the e-test again.
I got the time counter and the auto submit script. but i just have no ideal how to save the data into file.
every time I try and alert:
[ { number:0, secondnumber:0 }, { number:2, secondnumber:1 }, { number:1, secondnumber:2 } ]
it just shows [object object], [object object], [object object]. Why is this and what can I do to make the record be shown as it is above in an alert?
If I define two arrays identically and test for their equality I get a "false".
That is,
Code:
So I thought perhaps == could not be used to compare arrays.
But the following:
Code:
Why the first comparison fails?
All I need is a script to check whether a field contains an exact code. For example,
A user goes through a game, collects pieces of the code - In this case random numbers or letters to form a 9 digit code.
The user can then enter this code into the field, hit submit and told whether they've cracked the code or not.
So basically something like, if this field contains "123456789" then go to WellDone.html but if it contains anything else other than this code then go to BadLuck.html ,
any ideas? Code:
