I hav a setTimeout at the tail end of a function. On time out I am running a function and passing argument values but they do not seem to be passing to the setTimeout.
For example (snippet from full code to save you time)
Code:
var billboard_number_new = 3;
setTimeout("rw_billboard_num_chooser(billboard_number_new)", 5000 );
Even if I test with an alert it still will not acknowledge the value of billboard_number_new
Code:
var billboard_number_new = 3;
setTimeout("alert(billboard_number_new)", 5000 );
I did search the forums but couldn't seem to find anything on this specifically. I basically need to pass a key event and a 'name' to nameCheck() after 3 seconds. This works fine in Firefox but Internet Explorer gives the error: Member not found. I'm more of a PHP guy than a JS one
<input type="text" onkeyup="nameCheckTimer(this.value, event)" value="" /> function nameCheckTimer(name, evt) { setTimeout(function(){return nameCheck(name,evt)}, 3000); } function nameCheck(name, evt) { //need name and the key event to be available here. I have code to handle the key codes which works fine }
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:
<script language="javascript"> <!-- function reloadOpener(){ setTimeout(doItNow,2000); } function doItNow(){ window.opener.location.reload(); } //--> </script> And there's a button in the body that says:
onClick="reloadOpener();"
When I try it without the setTimeout function, the opener page reloads no problem. I just need it to wait a wee minute, but when the setTimeout is there, nothing happens. Ever.
For the sake of completeness I have tried it with:
i am losing my mind here what is wrong with this code the setTimeout is not working. I am creating a messaging system and i send and recieve data but i want it to appear on another window of the browser here is the code
I have tried the following code on FF and Safari on OSX 10.6.3 , and FF stop at after print out "step 2", whereas Safari did not print out "step 2" after the setTimeout("step2();",10000);

I have two frames, one to the left, one to the right. The left one contains a form, which I'm using to take in user input, and at the same time to refresh the frame on the right.
The left frame's code is:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function reload_right_frame()
[Code]....
This is where it stops working. The right-hand frame is not reloaded at all. I want it to reload after 3 seconds. The user input text is spewed out, though.
If I change the input type from "submit" to "button", however, the delayed reload of the right-hand frame works fine, but then the user input text fails to show.
I've been workling seperately with PHP/ MySQL and am now trying to get things together with jQuery which I have so far only used with non-dynamic content. Here is the setting I am trying to achieve:
I have one php file that generates two different contents depending on the setting of a status-variable $ncs. If $nsc=0 the main page is loaded, showing an overview of all available news-articles. If $ncs=1 the content of a specific article is shown fully. The jQuery connected to each case differs. So i would like to pass the varible $ncs over to my jQuery script:
Code JavaScript:
I have checked that $ncs is not NULL on the rendered page. However after being passed to the jQuery script the variable is undefined. I have never connected PHP and jQuery so it is probably a general twist in my idea of how it works. I tried passing different variables and all are undefined in jQuery. What do I have to attend to when passing PHP-variables to jQuery?
i'm hoping to have a file 1.php, which takes in a userid via form input, which sends it to file 2.php which shows you available options depending on your userid, and a file 3.php which alters database values depending on your action, and applies it to values corresponding to the userid.
i'm using ajax to request the pages, so they seem to "stack" on the page for the end user
say 1.php
//ajax call up here with a getdocumentbyid to get our 'key' and put it into our get function as a querystring ?key=key in the call for 2.php
<form> <input type='text' id='key' /> </form> <div> and 2.php should appear here </div>
[Code]....
so in principle should this work? the last time i pasted all of my scripting here i got zero responses, so i'm trying a different approach this time
I'm trying to trap a user entry that cannot be found in the database. When a code is entered, the page should give a "Code Not Found" message if it is an undefined value.
However, it didn't; and it always shows the "undefined" value to the page instead.
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.
To sum up this issue, I have a parent page, which holds some values in hidden input fields passed to them from the url. On this page, I have an iframe with a form in it, to which I want to pass values from these hidden fields to be displayed for the user in the iframe form. In IE, it works. To accomplish this, im just simply doing a <body onload="GetInput()">. The GetInput function does the following, but for about 10 fields:
Fnamefield=document.getElementById('firstname').value = parent.document.getElementById('firstname').value; Thats it. Once the page loads, i see my values. In firefox it does not work. I know the hidden fields are getting their values, but thats as far as it makes it. I have tried calling the GetInput function after the form is written out and not in the body tag, which still works for IE, but not FF.
It's working great but sometimes myTitle and myLink contain the plus character (+). When this happens it's not passed. In the case of the title, it's just a problem of looks but in the case of the link, well, the link won't work without the character.
As an example if the title is: Laptop + Accessories What is passed is: Laptop Accessories
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);
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?
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:
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:
