Use A Literal In A Function Declaration?

Jun 14, 2010

I have the following code which attaches a function to events in x number of comboboxes (x will probably always = 4, but I do not want to hard-code this). I wish to pass the value of i to the function being attached as well as the value of tempData. In other words, I want the parameters in function to be the value, not a reference variable.

In the current example, I am using the hard-coded variable ci. This I want to be replaced by a literal created when the event handler is attached (the value of the loop variable i). Also, notice that I get the filter value in the event handler (assigned to the variable ct). I would like to replace this code with the value of tempData which would also be determined when the evenet is attached (it is the same value in this case, but it keeps the onChange event from having to do this each time it runs).

var props = {
col_0: "select",
col_1: "select",

What is the difference between:

and

Are there any advantages to doing one over the other?

Declare Null Parameter Within Function Declaration?

Feb 13, 2009

Take a look at this example:

Code:

function foo(var1, var2=NULL){
if(var2 != NULL){
//do something
}

[Code]....

and in this scenario, var2 would have a NULL value

My question is: Is it possible to declare a null parameter within a function declaration in javascript? (as in the example)

I know this is possible with PHP, but i am having problems with this in Javascript.

Looping Variables In A Function Literal

Oct 19, 2005

Below is a stripped down example of code I'm using to count links in a
list. My intent with the ShowLinkNumber() function was to display the
number of the current link. (e.g. click on link 2, and the message "2"
pops up; click on link 4, and you see a "4.")

For reasons I can't trace, my function always displays the last number
in the list. Why does it do this, and can anyone suggest a way to
achieve my goal without adding markup? Code:

Passing Variable To Function As A Literal?

Apr 24, 2010

I've been banging on this for a couple hours even though I'm sure it has a less-than-five-second fix. Hopefully somebody will glance at it and point out the obvious thing I'm missing.I'm using the onchange event of an html select element to trigger an array prototype function that looks for a value in an array and returns the indices of the array that contain that value, or FALSE if the array doesn't contain the value. For this example, here's the array being set up:

var instids = new Array();
instids[0] = 5;
instids[1] = 6;

Literal Inherit From A Literal?

Array Declaration On FF Vs IE

Sep 13, 2007

There is something that I don't understand well, I use array for
combining strings like

items = ['hello world', ', how are you', '?', 'the end'].join('');

in FF this works well but in IE I had to add something like this

var items = new Array();
items = ['hello world', ', how are you', '?', 'the end'].join('');

My question is why is there a need for var items = new Array(): and
why items = new Array(); doesn't work? I don't want the items to be a
global variable, since it was declare inside a function I want it to
be local only.

Object Declaration Question?

Oct 9, 2006

Below are some over simplified examples of code the create a single
instance of an object and I was hoping some one could give me the pros
and cons of each approach.

First declaration: In this case a single object is created using object
literal notation and both the get and __Private methods are availabile
for use and no closure is created.

ABC.Util.SomeObject =
{
get : function(val)
{
return this.__Private(val);
},

__Private : function(val)
{
return "testing";
}
}

Second declaration: In this case a single object is create and only the
get function is availabile for use and a closure is created.

ABC.Util.SomeObject = function()
{
var __Private : function(val)
{
return "testing";
}

return {
get : function(val)
{
return __Private(val);
}
};
}();

Doctype Declaration Must Be On The Very First Line?

Declaration Order Issue

Aug 28, 2005

Say I have a code snippet like the one below:

var elm1 = document.getElementById('elm1');
var elm2 = document.getElementById('elm2');

function doStuff(e) {
// Some stuff is done here...
}

function addListeners(e) {
elm1.addEventListener('click', doStuff, false);
elm2.addEventListener('click', doStuff, false);
}

window.addEventListener('load', addListeners, false);
This code will generate an error, namely "elm1 has no properties". To many I guess this isn't very surprising, and my own take on this is that the addListeners function is run before the variables are declared. But what I fali to see is why? To me, a fair beginner with JS, everything is in its right place. What am I missing?

I would very much appretiate if someone could explain the order (when and where to declare the different parts) in which my code here should be ran. Is there something special to have in mind when using window.addEventListener('load', functionname, fasle);?

Forms - Functions And Variable Declaration

May 28, 2009

I have been having trouble with forms and functions. On my wife's site I have some forms and some of them have radio buttons. My current radio button checker is cumbersome and it is time for something more elegant (some of you will say if it isn't broke don't fix it )

The new code is below:

Code:

Basically I want to pass into the function radio button values 1 & 2 denoted by firstChoice and secondChoice (eventually I want to also pass in the form name but 1 step at a time).

The buttons can have the value (names?) of pattern, chalkboard or kit. It is for a shopping cart (Mal's E-commerce) and this is part of the JS validation. I am using onsubmit to call the function viz.

HTML Code:

Seems ok (to me at least) but when I try to get it to work it throws up an error of

Code:

It stops at that point but undoubtably chalkboard would throw up the same error if it continued.

How would I define the variables in my function? Are they strings, integers, who cares?
Where would I define them? Global or local?

Is the problem a matter of syntax e.g. if I put ' ' or " " around them would that suffice?

Document Declaration Prevents From Working?

Cannot Access Global Variable Inside Object Declaration

May 9, 2011

Well, it turns out IE8 has yet another problem. My code has a global variable (to the object) inside an object declaration that cannot be accessed by a function (that is also global).

The code is like so:
Code:
function myobject(params){
//public
this.initialize = function(){...}
//private
some variables...
//problem variable
var mouse = new Object()
mouse.x = 0;
mouse.y = 0;

//code...
slidecontainer = document.createElement("div");
slidecontainer.onmousemove = function(event) {
if(boo.isIE) {
e = window.event;
mouse.x = e.x + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.y + document.body.scrollTop;
} else {
e = event;
mouse.x = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
mouse.y = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;}}

//this function is in an interval
function moveslides() {
/* this is where I have the problem

It seems that the function doesn't recognize that mouse.x, or mouse for that matter, exists. Mouse is global to the object, so why can't this function access it?
*/if(mouse.x) {
code...
}}}
The page is at [URL] and works on every browser, including finnicky opera, except for ie. The full code is availabe when you right click and view the source on the page.

Object Literal

Oct 17, 2006

Below I declared a basic object literal with 2 methods. The
"doSomething" method is call from the "useDoSomething" method but the
call is only sucessful if I use the "this" keyword or qualify the call
with "SomeObj".

Can someone describe why this is happening?

var SomeObj = {
doSomething : function()
{
return 'Did something'
},

useDoSomething : function()
{
//Doesn't work - doSomething() no defined.
return doSomething();
//Works
//return this.doSomething();
//Works
//return SomeObj.doSomething();
}
}

alert(SomeObj.doSomething());
alert(SomeObj.useDoSomething());

Replace String Literal

How would one make the ECMA-262 String.replace method work with a

For example, if my string was "HELLO[WORLD]" how would I make it work
in this instance.

Please note my square brackets are not regular expression syntax.
