Using A String As A Pointer To An Array?
Apr 26, 2011
So i've written up the code to do a lightbox esque overlay image gallery. everything is working smooth and fine. The only concern is that I have the following:
lets say that I have a page that has multiple galleries. Obviously I would have to make each literal array with the gallery data different names, ex:
var _gallery1 = {
'images': [
{ 'id' : 1, 'src' : "" }
]
[Code]....
obviously "galVariable" would be undefined... as i'm trying to get "_gallery2.images" but trying to use "galVariable" to point to "_gallery2"
I'm familiar with solving a problem like this in PHP, not so much javascript. is there a JS function that can be used to ensure that it's using whatever "galVariable" equals to, and then that array's content is? Or is there a different way to go on about this.

I'm trying to figure out how to do this via Javascript.
Lets say I have an array like so:
var myArray = [11, 33, 44, 23, 32, 43];
var finalArray = new Array();
And I have the following variables
var lastNumber = 33;
var getNext = 2;
I want to use the lastNumber for a starting point in the array and then based on getNext, grab the next x numbers that getNext specifies and shove into finalArray.
That case moves forward in the array.
Second case would be the opposite, get the previous x numbers based on getPrevious in the array. So I'd start at lastNumber and then grab x numbers before it based on getPrevious.
var lastNumber = 33;
var getPrevious = 2;
I'm not sure if you can traverse backwards in JavaScript. But more importantly I'm not sure how to point to lets say 33. How can I do myArray[1] essentially based on I'm pointing to 33 and then how can I grab the next x in myArray ?

I get strings in this format:
([{"result":"-1","message":"Error","target":""},{"result":"-2","message":"Access Denied","target":""}])
this string will evaluate to a 2D array if I do this:var array = eval(string);But eval is not very safe.Is there a way to achieve the same effect (turn that string into 2d array) without using eval function?And I have no control over what string I am given, so will have to process this kind of a string =Right now I am thinking of writing a custom function which will split the string and then split again etc, but is there already something that can do this job?

I need some advice regarding wrote a javascript function.
The function purpose is to check the variable "selectedSeat",
for e.g if the selectedSeat value is
var selectedSeat = "A:01|A:03|A:05|B:01|B:02|B:03";
var selectedArray = selectedSeat.split("|");
because row A is not in sequence , i will display alert box to
user,but row B is in sequence is ok.
Main purpose of function is check if the row is in the sequence.
I have been cracking my head about this , anyone have suggestion is
much appreciated.

I am getting a string with the value of the clicked button from an array and some other select field values that are listed in the same set of mysql results as the clicked button.At the end of the script the page is redirected to in the script mentioned page with following string:process.php?value=1&bs=2&ad=3&ns=4&wt=5&in=6
Is it possible to make locationstring variable global and in a single line in order to be able to use the full string in other scripts or is there another solution.

I'm trying to turn an associative array key into a string. I know I can do that in php with a foreach loop like foreach ($array as $key => $value) and then I can do whatever I want with the key. I want to be able to loop through a javascript array using a for in loop and test to see if the key matches part of the name attribute of some inputsIs there a way to do this? I looked online and I found a way to turn a string into a variable name but not the reverse

I'm not entirely familiar with the norms and standard libraries of
JavaScript so if the answer to this is yesterday's news, please ignore.
I'm trying to write a simple text formatting function to make headings
proper case -- i.e. first letter of words capitalized.
I first tried this...
function inProperCase(s)
{
var result, i, k;
i = 0; result = s.toLowerCase();
while ((k = result.indexOf(' ', i)) -1) {
if (k - i 0) {
result[i] = result[i].toUpperCase();
}
i = k + 1;
}
if (result.length - i 1) {
result[i] = result[i].toUpperCase();
}
return result;
}
...but it didn't work. To my amazement, you cannot set a character in a
string by accessing that character with an index, like so:
s[i] = ch;
Must be because JavaScript strings are "Immutable" or "EtchedInStone" or
something. (Just kidding, no flames, please. I'm sure it is more
efficient.)
The only thing I could come up with was this (with some details, like the
"compound" while predicate, modified into a more readable form after being
called a "C-bigot" by a friend :)) which seems pretty heavy-handed with all
the string slicing and concatting:
function inProperCase(s)
{
var result = s.toLowerCase(),
i = 0, k = result.indexOf(' ', i);
while (k -1) {
if (k - i 0) {
result = result.substring(0, i) +
result[i].toUpperCase() +
result.substring(i+1, result.length);
}
i = k + 1;
k = result.indexOf(' ', i);
}
if (result.length - i 1) {
result = result.substring(0, i) +
result[i].toUpperCase() +
result.substring(i+1, result.length);
}
return result;
}
You call this as...
inProperCase(" madam i'm adam ");
...and you get...
" Madam I'm Adam "
Any suggestions for making this a bit more elegant?
BTW You may point me to a "library" with a super-efficient implementation
of this function, but that is not the point. My issue is, how do we update
single characters in a string (or single items in an array) in JavaScript?
Is it something like...
s.wouldYouCareToUpdateThisChar(i, ch); // :D (just kidding, calm
down...)
-or-
s.setCharAt(i, ch); ...

I am trying to search an array for a string and then if it is found alert it. I have found examples of how to iterate the array and how to use .IndexOf to return a true false statement as to whether the array includes the string, but i don't know what to do after that and how to display the string if its found.

Given a JavaScript "array" (ok, so really they are "objects" but it's being treated as an array...) in the format
HTML Code:
var patient_code = "0"
var header_id = "1";
var question_id = "1000";
fake_data_array["patients"][patient_code][header_id][question_id]
HTML Code:
var fake_data_array = new Array();
fake_data_array["heading_information"] = new Array();
[Code]...
What's happening is, '1000', '1001', '1003', '1004' are being cast as integers, not strings, and it's "filling in" the first ~999 keys as 'undefined' so the length is returning something like 1005, not 7. I'm manually writing the arrays now, and will eventually be building this massive js array from a collection of existing PHP arrays. Is there a way to forcibly cast the values as strings?

I get a XmlHttpRequest responseText from a AJAX JSON call. This is a string. I created an example:
var testString = "{'desc':'text1','name':'text2'}";
$.each(testString, function(key, value) {
alert(key+': '+value);
});
[Code].....
Instead I get every char of the string each in one alert message. How can I transform the String to an Array, or get in this case the two key-value pairs?
