I'm attempting to set a delayed alert of a string that has new line tags in it. Problem is, setTimeout takes the new lines literally, and gives an "unterminated string constant" error. Here is the code:
Code:
setTimeout('alert("This
is
the
string")', 500);
But it would interpret the alert as
Code:
alert("This
is
the
string");
Is there a way to do that?
I was just wondering if you can use html tags in javascript alert boxes?(like <b>hello</b>) when i try it it doesn't work only in document.write it works, i feel its weird. Could it be my browser im on safari,
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some trouble getting some javascript code implemented Its basically because I havent used much it before. Its like this:
When admin chooses to delete a page from his site via this link:
<?php echo '<a href="process_delete_page.php?pid=' . $id . '">Delete page!</a>'; ?>
Before this actually gets processed, i would like to alert admin, with a box, asking if he is sure or not, so he gets the option to regret his choise. onClick="(return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete the page?'))" Something like this, probably not correct? How can I implement that tiny bit of JS in my (PHP)link above?
heres my code:
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
var checkobj
function agreesubmit(el){[code]....
i need to make it like if the button is clicked and there the agreement checkbox is not checked.. it should give an alert that the alert is not checked.. i know that would require a if and else statement but i cant figure out how to do it
I have the following function that's supposed to say "Please make a guess" 20 seconds after an initial confirmation is displayed. However, it's immediately displayed as soon as someone hits "Cancel". If I change it's time to 40000 (20 seconds after the initial function is called), it does do it 40 seconds total, so it kind of does what I want. So it seems that the second setTimeout is initiated from the time the script is called generally, but I'm looking for a way specifically to have the 20 seconds start only after the "cancel" button is hit.

Can't seem to make it work, I have seen many examples but they are all just for 1 div tag. When i trymore than one it doesn't work anymore.The first one works, if i have more than 1 then the other don't work.
using the following jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#toggle-text").click(function () {
var divvalue= this.value;

Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags?

I'm wondering if its because I don't fully understand setTimeout(). I have a web page that calls a function on the Onload. This function calls two separate functions and then
uses setTimeout() to keep calling itself. Each function randomly generates
a number and then I update the image.src with that.
If I run setTimeout() on just one function by itself, it almost always displays a new pic...but when I put the setTimeout() in the startup function a get a lot of duplicates. I've been watching it for a long time and I don't think it's a coincidence. Any idea
as to why it seems like both functions don't run/update the pic all the time? If I uncomment the line, alert("hello"), it runs all the time? Code:
i'm working on a small idea and i would like to run this code:-
document.getElementById(id).style.height = origheight+"px";
after a set time period (about 20ms i guess ;) ), however, the following line creates errors:-
var t1 = setTimeout("document.getElementById('+id+').style.height = '+origheight+'px' ",0.5);
any ideas why?
<img src=http://xxx.com/yyy.jpg
onmouseover="settimeout("document.location='http://www.google.com'"),
2000">
I want to have a 2 seconds delay before it is directed to an URL when the
mouse is over the image.
However, it seems that setTimtOut does not like parameters in the function
part.
I have a HTML page with a form with 2 buttons like this
....
<input type="button" value="Add" onClick="ClickAdd();"/>
<input type="button" value="Reset" onClick="ClickReset();"/>
....
I also have this javascript code:
----------------------------------------
function ClickAdd() {
setTimeout(test.Add, 100);
//test.Add();
};
function ClickReset() {
setTimeout(test.Add, 100);
//test.Reset();
};
Test = function () {
this.total = 0;
};
Test.prototype.Add = function() {
this.total++;
alert(this);
};
Test.prototype.Reset = function(i) {
this.total = 0;
alert(this);
};
Test.prototype.toString = function() {
return (this.total);
};
test = new Test();
-------------------------------------------
the thing is:
in the ClickAdd function, if i call test.Add() directly, is works ok But if I call it using setTimeout, the /alert(this)/ shows [object Window]....
Does anyone know whether the ECMA, or an other standard document,
specifies a maximum for the value that can be pass to the setTimeOut()
function in Javascript?
The below pasted code is my attempt to get the text of a span to change
every second. However, it seems to just set the text of the span to be the last item
in the array. Code:
I am modifying the suckerfish dropdown code to use settimeout to have
a slight pause before the menus disappear to make it more user
friendly. I have hit a snag with the following statement:
li.
{
timerID=setTimeout('this.getElementsByTagName("UL")
[0].style.display = "none"', timecount);
}
If I put take the statement
this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.display = "none";
out of the settimeout function, it works. (w/o the pause, obviously).
With the settimeout function, I get "this.getElementByTagName is not a
function" error.
I have tried putting this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0] is a variable
and then using that in the settimeout function, but then each li will
only open the very last menu in the list. (ie all the menu items open
the last sub menu) Code:
Can I have two setTimeouts running at the same time - with two
different intervals?
I want to start one timer and, before it times out, start another one
I've tried this and they seems to interfer with one another.
var SessionTimer;
function StartSessionTimer()
{
SessionTimer = setTimeout('RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage(),60000)
}
function RestartSessionTimer()
{
clearTimeout(SessionTimer);
StartSessionTimer();
}
function RedirectToSessionTimedOutPage()
{
window.location = '/SessionTimedOut.html'
}
When I load the page and call StartSessionTimer(), I know it works because the page redirects after ten minutes (the value of 60000). However, in certain situations I need to be able to call back to the server with AJAX and then have the timer reset - that's when I call the RestartSessionTimer() function. When I do this, for some reason the ten minute window does not get reset.
To troubleshoot, if I remove the second line in the RestartSessionTimer() function the redirect is getting blocked (as planned). However, when I put the second line back in, the page just redirects as originally called - the SessionTimeout value is never
reset properly.
The code above looks good to me, but for some reason the SessionTimeout var does not get reset in the RestartSessionTimer function; it retains its original value?
I have a pop-up menu; one of those where you scroll over the menu, and
a submenu pops up beneath it. Everything's running smoothly on every
browser I've tested with, except for one problem on every browser: the
"clearing" of the menu.
The menu itself is being called by:
onMouseOver="menu(1)" onMouseOut="clearIt()"
function menu(x) let's "x" refer to a predefined array, which
determines which menu to pop up. That menu is stored in a variable,
showMenu. If x==0, then it changes showMenu to a whitespace, thus
"clearing" the submenu altogether.
clearIt() is a simple function, pasted here:
function clearIt() { setTimeout("menu(Ɔ')", 7000) }
The idea is that the menu will disappear after 7 seconds. The problem
I'm having, though, is that the 7 seconds starts after the first
onMouseOut, and doesn't restart when the visitor mouses over the
second button. So, if I look at the first submenu for 6 seconds, then
when I go to the second button the menu only stays open for 1 second,
instead of starting the timer over.
Here we are again pondering why setTimeout will not work, or rather mucks things up. This will work. addOn(obj);
function addOn (obj)
{
var parentNode = obj.parentNode;
var span = parentNode.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];
span.style.display="block";
thkOn(obj);

function funt()
{
var link = document.getElementsByClassName("class")[0];

I have a window up whose Javascript implementation checks for a cookie with code something like this:
function lookieCookie()
{
alert(document.cookie);
setTimeout(lookieCookie, 10000);
}
The first call to lookieCookie is in the onload event handler. The cookie is actually set by a PHP routine that is in another script. The PHP script certainly appears to be setting the cookie. The alerts from lookieCookie are clearely happening at the appropriate time intervals (I can't get into the room with the actual code at the moment, so if I have messed up the syntax here, I know that it is not messed up in the real code), but the cookie being set from PHP does not show up.
Obviously the PHP might be doing the wrong thing. In tha case I have to get on the guy that writes the PHP script. Should the code I wrote work even if the cookie is set after the page has loaded, but between iterations of lookieCookie()? If yes, then I must get on the PHP coder and get his page fixed.
