I have a text file, the contents of which I would like to use as the value of a variable in Javascript. is this possible? how about importing it as the value of a (invisible) text box and acquiring it this way?
View 1 RepliesI have some Javascript which says this:
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
how do i write variable value into text file from jaavscript ?

I have a javascript that has a string variable and is hardcoded example: var text = "A,1,2,3";However, i want to read this string from a text file from the server. (The text file is generated using PHP). How to i get this done?I have seen codes on other pages which deal with this topic. Below is an example of the code
var txtFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
txtFile.open("GET", "http://my.remote.url/myremotefile.txt", true);
txtFile.onreadystatechange = function() {

Ok, so I've built a member search using ajax to change the results each time a filter is changed. It works great, except one minor issue that I'm struggling with...I just can't specify dynamically in the parent file that linkclass$id opens linkclasscontent$id as I don't know of any way to pass that $id variable back over to the parent.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI start outside of the external JS file by: reviews.init(); reviews.initialiseContent('comment'); This loads my data and loads + sets the comment tab as default. My problem is that in the external JS file (shown below) the loadTabs variable will not allow me to pass it a variable: contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; Whenever I pass a variable here it errors, am I setting this up correctly, should I be using prototype for my this. variables? Interested to hear back on if this structure of code is the right way to go about this and also how I can pass a variable in this way :)

Im writing client-side javascript and I want to do a server side include. There are many server files but only one will be included. These files contain peoples names and phone numbers. This info is packaged as a line of javascript but I can change that packaging if necessary.
The file name to include is being passed as a url parameter: [url]
I know how to parse the url string and stuff the ID number into a javascript variable.
I set <ICODE> foo = "/people/12345.html" </ICODE> and tried <ICODE><!--#include virtual="${foo}" --> </ICODE>
but this did not work.
Is there a way to do this with javascript given that the name of the file I wish to include is contained in a variable? If not, what is the usual way of getting the data in the server file into my client-side javascript?
<h1>November<span>2009</span></h1>
making a variable equal the h1 html() without the span text.
// equals 'November2009'
var monthDelete = $('h1').html();
// I need just 'November'
I'm using a java-script in a HTML-page. Part of the script is the line:
var limit = 1136 - 1101;
The value 1136 is a counter and changes permanantly. In VB I can write a
routine which prints the actual value to a fule called COUNTER.TXT.
Can I change my JavaScript in such a way that it reads the value of the file
COUNTER.TXT?
For changing my content I have the following script:
$(document).ready(function(){
var $active = 'welcome';
$('div#con'+$active).show();
function hideall($execpt){
[Code].....
When I click an item in the menulist the current div silde up and the div corresponting to the menu will slide down.
The page that is active at that moment is stored in the variable $active.
Now I've installed jeditable for changing the content dynamicly on my website.The problem now is I want to send the current page with the data of my jeditable, so I added $active to the ajax data send by the jeditable.js. Now when executing this script firebug returns the following error:
'$active' is not defined.
How can I get the variable $active working in the jeditable.js ?
I also tried to send $active togheter with the settings.
$('.edit').editable('save.php', {
indicator : 'Save...',
tooltip : 'Click to edit...',
pages : $active
});
But now $active always has the value welcome because it takes the startup value and never changes when I chose another page.
How would this be written on .js file. I need to create a variable named dateString which is equal to the following text string: weekday, month, day, year.where weekday is the name of the weekday, month is the name of the month, day is the day of the month, and year is the four-digit year value. (HINT: Use the wdayName array using thisWDay variable as the index value to display the weekday name, the monthName array along with the thisMonth variable to display the month value, and the this Year variable to display the year value.)

I've got something like this:
function another_file() {
document.getElementById('files').innerHTML += '<input type="file" class="fileinput" name="pictures[]" />'

But everytime I click on the link that calls that function, it erases the previous input's state. I'm after something like GMail's attachments interface.
I need to load a file with a javascript variable. I am trying to provide a method for a vertical javascript scroller to be updated by nonprofessionals, so i decided to have the text in a external file that can be updated

I have a folder of images from which I access individual pictures using the ID[Who] variable index passed down from the parent frame plus a local index variable p.
document.write('<img src="Photos/'+ID[top.Who]+p+'.jpg" width="100" border="3"><BR>');
where an example file in Photos is PhotosAndiamo1.jpg, the ID in this case resolving to "Andiamo" and the local variable is = 1. This works great.
I would like to add a file of text captions associated with the pictures, preferably saved in the Photos folder such as PhotoAndiamo1.txt.
While I can fetch the images easily by document.writeing the <img ....> command, how do I do a similar fetch for the text data and document.write it to the HTML? (Short of the hassle of creating text images and fetching those.)

I few sites said to (in the js file) put the varible in <%= %> these tags but thats not doing any good. Is there some other part needed to this I'm missing. The javascript I'm using is in a file I included in my VS project.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a remote file for the purpose of setting the value of a single variable. It contains a single line of code:
var rev_date = "R10-03-07";
In the HTML, it is called like this:
<script language="javascript" src="http://some.domain.com/revdate.js"></script>
There is a function in the head:
function setRevdate() {
document.getElementById("revdate").innerHTML = rev_date;
}
In the Body:
<body onload="setRevdate();">
Then where I want to place the text:
<span id="revdate">--</span>
The problem is that the page loads and the onload event seems to happen before the rev_date string object is created and produces a "rev_date not defined" error. If I hit the browser refresh, however, everything works fine and the text is displayed between the span tags. It continues to work thereafter as long as the browser session is not destroyed.
How can I program this to force the browser to wait for the script to be read in and the variable initiated before calling the function?

I have a form, I have successfully passed the username from jquery
