Undefined Variables

Feb 21, 2006

Looking for clarification of undefined variables vs. error in
JavaScript code.

e.g.
<script>
alert( z ); // this will be an error, i.e. an exception
</script>

<script>
alert( this.z );
alert( window.z ); // both equivalent, no error, but window.z is
'undefined'
</script>

why is it that 'z' alone without the global object generates an error,
shouldn't it also be undefined? for example if i did

z = 0;

the javascript interpreter knows to create a global variable z

Run Individual Variables And Get Undefined

Nov 8, 2010

I have looked at this code and determined I will get the following if I run individual variable.
x = 10
y = 5
z to 5

However I am not sure. Because when I run the function using document.write
Like this:
Code:
document.write(get_xyx());
I get undefined

Here is the code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var n=5;
var x=n + n;
var y=n + n;
function get_xyz () {
var x = n;
y = n;
z = n;
}
get_xyz();
</script>

Assigning Default Values To Undefined Variables

Sep 1, 2007

I'm moving from php to JavaScript. What I want to do is assign a value to a variable only if the variable hasn't been assigned yet.

In php it would be:

if($variable=='')
$variable='default value'

I thought the equivalent in javascript would be:

if(variable=='')
variable='default value'

Can anyone explain why this doesn't work, or what I should do instead?

Receiving An Error That States That One Of My Variables ("$fileAmount") Is Undefined

Jan 19, 2011

I have been receiving an error that states that one of my variables ("$fileAmount") is undefined. I was hoping you guys might see something in my code where I am making a mistake. Please note that this is not the entire code, but where the error is occurring. "Browser" is a file browser used for uploading files. It errors on the third line of the function saying that $fileAmount is undefined.

PHP Variables To Javascript Variables

May 6, 2006

I have a program written in Javascript and fully functioning which takes a user-selected directory name and then displays all the photos in that directory in a certain format.

I am now wanting to expand the program to allow users to optionally enter their own strings and the program will use all the photos from www.flickr.com which use that string as a tag.

I have a PHP interface to flickr (called PHPflickr) which collects all the relevant photo urls. I now need to get these images back into my Javascript so I can process them using the existing functions (rather than rewrite all my functions in PHP code and have two sets of functions in the program). I found on another thread a means to do this for a date variable:

var jsArray = new Array(
<?php
$length = count($monthDataArray);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
echo '"' . addslashes($monthDataArray[$i]) . '"' . (($i < $length - 1) ? ',' : '') . "
";
}
?>

but being completely new to PHP I'm not sure what "addslashes" might be or what formatting will be necessary if I am starting with an array of urls. Code:

Undefined In Status Bar

Jul 23, 2005

This is using Microsoft Windows with IE. I have a form with a text box which I inspect onKeyDown to determine what key is pressed. Also if the page sits idle for a while an alert box comes up. Here's my issue.

If I load the page and wait for the time out a message is written to the staus bar. That works fine. But if I load the page, type one character in the text box and stop all activity the page times out again. But this time after the alert box has fully formed, the status bar quickly receives the message I want there but instantaneously changes to undefined.

IE FileCreatedDate Undefined??

Jun 20, 2007

Has anyone came across a situation or know how the
document.fileCreatedDate property could be throw a JScript Error in
IE6 browsers?

I am using this in a function to help determine an IE browser (with
other properties). It has been reported to me to fail in others
browser. Since it works on other peoples machines I would make me
think is there something that can be done to a webpage that can have
this cause an issue.

Getting Undefined When Trying To Get A Value From Array

Jul 1, 2009

var allProductIDs = [5410, 8362, 6638, 6758, 7795, 5775, 1004, 1008, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1072, 1076, 1086, 1111, 1112, 1140]; lastProductID = 6758;

for some reason I get a -1 or I guess which is equivalent to not found for this:

alert(allProductIDs[allProductIDs.indexOf(lastProductID));

I can't figure out for the life of my why because it should find 6758 and that would be index 3. If it's index 3 then I should get back 6758 I would think.

Undefined Variable Error

Jul 23, 2005

Does anyone know why the onclick in the following popup menu gives
the error:"Val is undefined"? Does it have something to do with the
fact that it is called within the variable tablePop? Because it IS
displayed properly as part of the popup text, where it is called
outside the single quotation marks (see [***]). It is only in the
onclick that it's causing problems. Code:

Undefined Child Element In DIV

Jun 30, 2009

I have a function which looks like
function mainLeftElements(){
var containerDiv = document.getElementById('mainLeft');
var elems = containerDiv.childNodes;
alert(elems.length);
}

Which for a div declared like so:
<div id = 'mainLeft'></div>
Alerts me it has a length of 1, trying to work out what the element is (thinking it might be a blank text element or something, maybe the id attribute also??) by using
elems[0].tagName
and
elems[0].id
I get confused as they both return 'undefined', so what is it?

Select Menu Value Undefined?

I'm about to use this script below for a project I have. It works great but unfortunately I can't get it to read select menu (selected option) values. It returns undefined. I've asked the author but had no response as yet, so I was wondering if anyone else could see why it wouldn't read the select menu value.

var functionname = function () {}
functionname.prototype = {
options : {},

GetElementById Not Returning Value - Undefined

Dec 10, 2010

None of my getElementById (or other) references produce anything but "undefined." This occurs in the latest versions of Fx, IE, Chrome, and Safari, so it must be something I am doing but not not seeing here. I have boiled it down to the following without success, and wonder whether there is some add on interaction. Fx 3.6.12 has the problem with this code:
<code>
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a test of getElementById</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="area" name="area_name">xxx</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
var msg = '';
msg = 'Divs[0] contains ' + divs[0] + ' with width = ' + divs[0].width + "
";
msg +='Test area width by id = ' + document.getElementById('area').width + "
";
msg +='Test area width by name = ' + document.getElementsByName('area_name').width;
alert(msg);
</script>
</body>
</html>
