Thank you both, :)

Here is the result:
http://www.8p-design.com/Bummis/New/en/Products/covers/CottonWhisperPant2.ht

It works on Mac IE, but not on IE PC, where clicking the swapped image
returns a DNS problem.

Any idea?

Thanks!

HELLO?? I told you to be more specific. Your code is WRON!

<input type='text' value=str>

will give you an editbox with "str" written in it!


Tell us what you want and you might be helped!

if you want to populate an editbox, try this:
  <script type="text/javascript">
   function testing ()
   {
    var ohMyInput = document.getElementById ("lala");
    ohMyInput.value = "this is a 'test' and \"double quote\"";
   }
  </script>


   <button onclick="testing ();">just testing</button>
   <br/>
   <input type='text' id="lala">


If you want something else, BE SPECIFIC.

I tried it, seems it can not work quite well in javascript.
for example:

str = "this is a 'test' and \"double quote\"";
<input type='text' value=str>
will just show 
this is a 'test' and \

Any good idea?

You are kidding, wright?!

This: <input type='text' value=str> will show you nothing but "str"

This string : str = "this is a 'test' and \"double quote\"";  -is correct!

This is how you will show it in your input:
<INPUT TYPE='text' VALUE="" NAME="myString">

<SCRIPT...>
str = "this is a 'test' and \"double quote\"";
myString.value=str
</SCRIPT>

And this is how it will read:
                      this is a 'test' and "double quote"


Cheers!

A lot of the "bugs" and confusion I've seen in the last few weeks/months could have (in theory) been ameliorated somewhat by a good code-checking routine -- either as an on-line service, or as a downloadable utility.  I for example use a hodge-podge of JavaScript, PHP, and HTML code which would probably send most simple code-checkers screaming out the door.  IE and Netscape/Mozilla are kind enough to let you know when your code is completely whacked, but their notion of line-numbers and originating module names are pretty hilarious -- plus they don't do concordences, and they always crash at the first fatal error -- rather tedious when you have 1,417 of them.

Has anyone seen and/or found something that would help us feebs get a grip on our code before harassing the bulletin board with our diverse lack of insight?

MessageThat's the method I have been using -- and even then it requires a great deal of insight to know just where to insert the echo, alert, whatever -- and the parameter(s) to track.  No, I'm looking for something like the production 'C/C++' code debug utilities, which do variable-tracking, single-stepping, "real" line number flagging, concordences, variable modification path analysis, etc. etc.  People are basing their business structures on the quality of our code -- it makes sense that we elevate our quality control beyond the mom-and-pop screendoor and JavaScript-coding methods of yore.  Some packages (like PHPEd) apparently do fairly good work on the PHP side, but ignore the nuances of JavaScript, HTML, etc.  I don't want much, I just want everything!

Perhaps not everything you want, but have you used venkman (Mozilla's

Hi all
I still have a question concerning this.
I would like to do this in a more simple way and drop the URL part.

This is current code:
  if(document['Cover'].src ==
"http://www.8p-design.com/bummis/images/product/Covers/BummiCotton_Cows_M.jp
g") {
    winURL = 
"http://www.8p-design.com/Bummis/images/product/Covers/BummiCotton_Cows_L.jp
g";

I would like it just verify the name of the image rather than whole path.
As in something like:
if(document['Cover'].src CONTAINS "BummiCotton_Cows_M.jpg")

Is this possible?
What should I replace CONTAINS to?

Thanks!

Another alternative (assuming your image naming convention is

winURL = document.images['Cover'].src.replace(/_M\.jpg/, "_L.jpg");

They are consistent.
And I was just finishing testing when you proposed it. Works perfectly.
T'was a lot of google.com search but I finally got it as I wanted it.

Rodney,

   If the page you're writing resides on the user's machine, then you should be able to use Mappath(relative path/filename) to refer to the file you want to save... but if you want a file to show changes, you'll have to save it somehow first.  Have you considered using the FileSystemObject to open the file and make the changes there?

Cheers,

Peter

Thanks for the reply Peter.

Yes, I could do that.

I am the user btw. and want to run this in file mode. So Mappath will 
not be required.
Guess FileSystemObject  is going to be the way. Pity, but workable.

hai,

i am try to create on the fly input tag, but the input tag always create on

What i want is that input tag on the same page how can i make that possible
?

this my script :

<FORM>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var objd=1;
function test(){
document.write("<input type='text' name='coba'+objd>");
objd++;
}
</SCRIPT>

<input type='button' onclick='test()' Value='create inputtag'>

With inputs and trigger for output in an upper frame
and the modified file in a lower frame named out
I have a way now to get at the altered output file:

1. Put ID into the starting HTML tag of the file in the "out" frame.
<html id="whole">
Any ID would do, I guess.

2. Alter document using IDs of various table cells
e.g.
function myFunction(form){
parent.out.document.all.someID.innerText=form.someElement.value;
}


3. Get whole document's HTML as string with
var fStr=parent.out.document.all.whole.outerHTML;
// parent because the trigger is in another frame
// out is the name of the output frame

4. Then use FileSystemObject to write fStr to a new file.

The basic method looks OK, but I think what is biting you is the single-quote placement.  Try this
instead:

  document.write("<input type='text' name='coba" + objd + "'>"); objd++;

Also (although this is a minor point), most subsidiary object groupings start with "0" as their
base index.  No reason you should follow this convention, but it is worth thinking about.

The other thing you should think about is the precedence of when this new input gets created, and
where it gets put on the page.  Normally, the <inputs> get spun while the first run through the body
declaration is taking place.  Yes, you can add inputs later -- but usually this is done through the
"createElement("INPUT")" declaration, where you are spawning it as a child of an object already on-screen
as it were.  I usually use a table to frame these created objects, and create new rows as well whenever
I spin off another new input.

I'd try a couple of little short test routines to get familiar with the creation/destruction of new
objects using the createElement call -- I think it is your best bet.

Message-ID: <CCEKJIFEFJCGLMNOPHNLCELMCAAA.kslowers@tampabay.rr.com>

Hello

I trying to learn how to re-validate modified data within an Edit form.
Everything works well, as far as the 'asked for' data appearing as it
should.  But when I modify the data, then resubmit it nothing happens.  I'm
not sure what I'm missing and/or understanding.  I have a sample of the code
below, and a copy of the file if you want to see how far I've got.  Can
someone show me what to do?  Kinda burn-out on this one.  Thanks in advance
for your help.

try adding a "return true" statement at the end of the function. I believe 
your form is never submitted without this statement.

Hello all, i'm very much a newbie with regards to JS - please bear with
me !!

What i'm trying to achieve with the below code, is that if a user
selects the gender from the drop down list, and then fills in the values
for "age" and "height", the resulting click on the "Compute" button will
run either calc_male or calc_female to calculate the values of FEV and
FVC which are then updated on the form fields. I am sure that the
parent>child inheritance thang is the problem but am unsure of how to go
about it.

Thankyou,

Andre Duszynski.

Hi Andre

First question when I see your code is: Where do you define the value of n
in the function process(t)?

function process(t) {
 if(n==0) alert("no choice made");
 if(n==1) calc_male(t);
 if(n==2) calc_female(t);
}

Sort this out and you will be saved I think

Laurent

Try changing the following line

to

<select name="parent" onChange="process(value)">

That might help the behavior of the form/script

I tried it, seems it can not work quite well in javascript.
for example:

str = "this is a 'test' and \"double quote\"";
<input type='text' value=str>
will just show
this is a 'test' and \

Any good idea?
Thanks,
Alex.

str = "the string can have ' and \" too.";
alert (str);

If you need more, please be more specific.

Right - you couldn't just add a single \ becuase the first \ you
add was for the "\" before the quote.

You're really escaping 2 characters here. The \ and the "

So look at it like:

\\ and \"

Which put together is:

First, use a form to submit the data to the next page, 
then you can read through the URL's search property (I 
believe that's the one you're looking for) to view the 
parameter.

I wouldn't use JavaScript for this. Why is that a requirement?

Subject: [Javascript] downloading javascript
Message-ID: <007301c34884$f1b6d540$e747fea9@MAINSYSTEM>

Hello,

We have hundreds of html pages that are using the same external javascript. We get an error on some of the pages, object not found (from the external javascript).

When the first page is sent the external javascript should be in the users cache. but somehow toward the end of the html pages the external javascript can not be found.  Can anyone shed some light on this problem?  Why is the javascript not in the users cache at this point.  If the javascript is not found it seems like it would be getting the code from the webserver?  could the html on the page be so small that the javascript does not have time to download from the server?   

Questions:  
1. Why wouldn't the javascript still be in the user cache?
2. If the javascript is not found, why isn't the script found on the webserver?
3. Could the html be so small that the javascript does not have time to download?  The javascript is 9kb.
4. How is a page loaded?  ie starts with the html and as soon as external import is found, downloads the javascript?  when the end html is found does all downloads stop?


Thanks for your help!

Right,

there are chances that ur javascript is not yet loaded when the HTML page call for the functions...
I dont mean not yet downloaded but when the HTML page is loading, the browser interpret HTML and create a DOM out of this. In the mean time, he is downloading the JS external file and when the file is dlowloaded or present in the cache, the browser is interpreting all functions in order to make them available by the page.

For instance, when the BODY of your page is calling on onload event a function in ur external JS, it's possible the JS is already downloaded but the function does not exist yet for the browser.

It's the same too when a JS function try to call an HTML object while the page is not fully loaded yet (check onreadystate event for this)

A solution to this : when u call the first function and this function does not exist yet, just call instead a function which is a timeout checking if the other function exist. When the function exist, just call it and stop timeout.

Thsi require of course the timeout function to be outside of the JS file...

Have a nice day

Subject: [Javascript] How to test existence of a window BUT NOT create it
In-Reply-To: <012401c34920$56fa4810$0202a8c0@emakina.com>
Message-ID: <004e01c34952$ab6429c0$6500a8c0@foobar05>

Given the (string) name of a window, how can I test if it's open without
also causing it to be created (if it's not previously extant)?  The only way
I know to obtain a reference to a window is by using window.open() - but
this will always create the window if it doesn't currently exist, which is
what I need to avoid.

 

TIA!

I just noticed in passing a peculiarity of "onselectstart" which is somewhat annoying.

What I want to be able to do is eliminate drag-selection of multiple fields, blank form background, etc. by an
inadvertant swipe of the mouse while the select button is depressed, while at the same time still permitting
drag-selection of the contents of single fields.  Ostensibly this model should work:

	<html>
    <head>
      <title> bogus </title>
      <script language='JavaScript'>
      <!--
        document.onselectstart = disableSelect;
        function disableSelect { return false; }
        function enableSelect { return true; }
      // -->
      </script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <form name='myBogusForm' action='javascript:void(null)'>
        <center>
          <input name='field1' type='text' value='' size=30 onselectstart='enableSelect'><br>
          <input name='field2' type='text' value='' size=30 onselectstart='enableSelect'><br>
        </center>
      </form>
    </body>
    </html>

Sadly, the 'document.onselectstart' declaration appears to take precedence over all the fields, irrespective of whether they have localized onselectstart declarations of their own.  Yes, I've tried using straight 'return true' declarations in lieu of
'enableSelect' function calls.  Still no cigar.

Anybody have any ideas?  This one has me stumped.

Hi,

I need to get the id of the parent tag when i select some text from that
tag.

Example:

<p id="209202920290"> This is test para This is test para This is test para
This is test para</p>

So when i select " test para " i should get "209202920290".


Next requirement is

<p id="209202920290"> This testststst <i> This is test para </i> test
para</p>

So when i select " is test para"  which is inside the italic tag , i should
get "209202920290".

If any one can reply it would be great

I may be completely off-base on this, but since a window is an ordinary DOM object, it might be possible to
simply do an "if" check, thusly:

  if (!win) {
    // do whatever you'd do if the window wasn't there
  } else {
    // do whatever you'd do if it was
  }

where "win" is the window ID you presume MIGHT be there.  I've used this approach in several code modules,
and so far nothing has blown up.  [Might you, under JScript the rules for testing window existence are slightly
different, so this approach may lack universality].  Also, I believe it is still possible to "walk-the-tree" of
the object thread, thereby discovering which window objects are in place -- including ones behind the active pane
or placed outside the viewable window space.

Have you tried cancelling the bubbling of the event? If an event
fires on an element, it fires all the way up the chain. You need to
stop that event when fired by the correct element.

Sachin,

	In IE, I know you can object.parentElement.id property of most
tags; this seems to be a standard, or at least close to it, so I'd be
surprised if it didn't work in Netscape 6 and 7.

Actually no, I hadn't -- I had presumed that this event handler was
"global", and that the bubbling was implicit in the top-level document.onselectstart
declaration at the beginning of the app window.  Any notions as to the
"correct" style/placement of these mid-stream event blocks that won't impair functionality
above/below the object under consideration?

My trusty Danny Goodman DHTML book gives parentElement()  property for the
text range object.

So, some thing like:
var p=myRange.parentElement().id   ?

But, as far as I know, only a solution for IE 6

That's what I would do. Go off of a variable that should let
you know whether you're ready to call a function or not.

Subject: [Javascript] Reading values into an array
Message-ID: <61B1A61B4F4AD711B3450008C791F6FA96916E@clearwater.unn.ac.uk>

Hello All,
 
I have the results of an ASP recordset that I would like to read into a
Javascript array. My recordset only returns 3 records, so I need to end up
with a javascript 1D array similar to:
 
var my_values=new Array("photo1.jpg","photo2.jpg","photo3.jpg")
 
Where photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, photo3.jpg are the 3 records that have been
returned in my recordset.
 
Does any one have any idea on how I would go about doing this. I realise it
is tricky going from ASP recordsets to 1D javascript arrays, but I need some
guidance.
 
Any suggestions or links to further information would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Alan...

Alan,

It may be easier to first declare the array and then write the data line 
by line.

{pseudo code only for serverside}


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var my_values=new Array();

[set a server side counter to value zero  n=0]

[write lines of data for each value in the recordset]

my_values[ write value of n here ] = "[write name of nth image here]";
[Increment value of n]

[loop back until whole recordsset written]

// -->
</script>

Client side result:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

var my_values=new Array();
my_values[0]="photo1.jpg";
my_values[1]="photo2.jpg";
my_values[2]="photo3.jpg";

// -->
</script>

It's not tricky at all actually...

var my_values = new Array()

<%
DIM intRow
FOR intRow = 0 to UBOUND(arrRecordset, 2) ' assuming you're using GetRows
    %>
    my_values[<%=intRow%>] = "<%=arrRecordSet(fieldName, intRow)%>"
    %<
NEXT
%>

That (or something like that) should produce your array...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that.

I have tried something ike that, using Getrows().

But I have trouble cross referenceing between vbscript and javascript. The
piece of code you sent writes the values out onto the page. How would I get
them back into the javascript array....???

Let me know if I am missing something obvious here....thanks....

Ummmm, wrap them with a <script language="javascript"></script>

No problem. I use JS arrays for a lot of things, so I have a lot of

I was initially trying to read it into a 1D vbscript array, then from there
convert it to a 1D JS array.........that was proving difficult.

I didn't actully try just wrapping a JS blcok around code snippets of ASP.

It works the way I want it,

Cheers Chris.

How can I get, p.g., only the checkbox inputs to build a request url?

Alan,

Use the DOM to get the various elements.

e.g.

ie5:

var myElement = document.all.myElement;

ie 5.5+

var myElment = document.getElementByID('myElement');

Considering the amount of code required to traverse the checkboxes,
build a suitable Querystring and redirect the browser to the new page
based on some user action - I'm wondering why it isn't easier to just
put <form> tag around the checkboxes...

Alan,

Use the DOM to get the various elements.

e.g.

ie5:

var myElement = document.all.myElement;

ie 5.5+

var myElment = document.getElementByID('myElement');

I found this script on the web:
Like this:

<script language="JavaScript"
  id=SomeFile src="somefile.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">

function useStuffInSomeFile() {
}

if (SomeFile.readyState == "complete" ) {
   useStuffInSomeFile();
} else {
   SomeFile.onreadystatechange = ifComplete();
}

function ifComplete() {
   if (SomeFile.readyState == "complete") {
        SomeFile.onreadystatechange = null;
        useStuffInSomeFile();
  }
}
</script>


However, onreadystatechange is undefined.
Is there a different command I can use? or perhaps I am not using the
correct syntac?

Thanks for your help, this problem is driving me crazy!!!!

Sharon

casse1:It is possible that the jscript file is not loading at all in these 
pages, may happen that you've moved these pages to another folder after 
you've tested them?! In this casse, the script file is ot of the target and 
can not be found. Even if the script resides in the browser chache, the 
browser always checks for it in the server, so if any updated changes are 
made it will downlad the newer version. If the file is not found there, the 
script from the chache will not read at all.

casse2:The script TAG is placed at the end of the HTML, and the HTML is lot 
shorter than the external script it will fail to initiate, but this may 
happen to all external scripts because of asyncronity. No error will ocure 
if the function is not called emediately after the onload event.

But sometimes it depends explicitely on the nature of the script and what's 
the function call!

Well, you owe me this one!

the onselectstart turned false disables all the content from being selected, 
no matter what you do after this will not help so wei will filter unwanted 
items like this:

<html>
    <head>
      <title> Trojani </title>
      <script language='JavaScript'>
      <!--

function filterSelectability(){
		var inptName=event.srcElement.name;
//Headache! - suppressing error for "undefined" elements
	if (typeof(inptName) == "undefined"){return false}
//making this compare 'true' for all elements named 'field' no matter the 
number- helpfull enough!
		var fld=inptName.substring(0,5);
	if(fld=='field'){return true}
		    else{return false}
		}
        document.onselectstart = filterSelectability;
      // -->
      </script>
    </head>
    <body>

      <form name='myBogusForm' action='javascript:void(null)'>
        <center>

          <input name='field1' type='text' value='' size=30 ><br>
          <input name='field2' type='text' value='' size=30 ><br>

        </center>
      </form>

    </body>
</html>

Had some hard time with undefined items but it is solved now,

Way cool!  This goes way beyond the "standard" treatment of onselectstart
given in the books.  Handling this at the event level does provide the
needed descrimination though, without the "poisoning" effect of simply
launching it with { return false; } at the document level from the very
start.  Somebody earned their browny points on this one!  Kudos to you...

Subject: [Javascript] peculiarity of onselectstart/third
References: <BAY8-F986SVc6CDdSFE0001c81b@hotmail.com>
Message-ID: <001e01c34bdb$e1fc3870$0600000a@toshibauser>

Just to wrap up this discussion, I polished Bekim's code to "full workability" and am including it below.  Rather than prescribing naming conventions for active fields (who wants all their active inputs to be called "field-XXX"?), I modified the routine to work off the nodeName and type, thusly:

  function handleSelectStart(evt) {
    evt = (evt) ? evt : (window.event) ? window.event : "";
    if (evt) {
      var inputType = evt.srcElement.type;
      var inputNodeName = evt.srcElement.nodeName;
      if (inputNodeName == "INPUT") {
        return true;
      }
      if (inputNodeName == "TEXTAREA") {
        return true;
      }
      if (inputType == "undefined") {
        return false;
      }
      return false;
    }
  } // handleSelectStart()

  document.onselectstart = handleSelectStart;

Note -- certain older versions of Netscape may have issues with the handler name, as they generally prefer all lower-case for such things.

Anyway, this method worked like a champ on the four or five browser types I had time to check.  Thanks Bekim!

Now if only someone could explain to me why the various major browser-writing bodies didn't build this into their engines at the get-go, I'd be a happy man.

  Well, you owe me this one! 
  the onselectstart turned false disables all the content from being 
  selected, no matter what you do after this will not help so wei will 
  filter unwanted items like this: 
  <HTML>
      <HEAD>
        <TITLE> Trojani </TITLE>
        <script language='JavaScript'>
        <!--

  function filterSelectability(){
    var inptName=event.srcElement.name;
  //Headache! - suppressing error for "undefined" elements 
   if (typeof(inptName) == "undefined"){return false}
    var fld=inptName.substring(0,5);
   if(fld=='field'){return true}
        else{return false}
    }
          document.onselectstart = filterSelectability;
        // -->
        </script>
      </head>
      <body>

        <form name='myBogusForm' action='javascript:void(null)'>
          <center>

            <input name='field1' type='text' value='' size=30 ><br>
            <input name='field2' type='text' value='' size=30 ><br>

          </center>
        </form>

      </body>
  </html>
   

  Had some hard time with undefined items but it is solved now, 
  Cheers!

Subject: [Javascript] getting input elements
References: <3F1449CF.3040600@klais.com.br>
Message-ID: <3F15BBA5.5E756F68@gazos.com>


Hmmm... let me take a stab at this...

First off, most "input elements" don't work outside of a form, as the code behind
the form is intended to be the premier method of encoding the data conveyed by them
to some means of processing them.  Mind you, I don't use forms for this purpose (too
insecure for the manic, anal-retentive crowd I hang with), but I get along with those
that do... and even I still use forms as "wrappers" for data elements (like inputs),
simply to avoid all the nasty IE errors when the code rolls through my browser when I
don't.

The answer then, is use a neutered form as a wrapper...

<body>
<form name='myForm' action='javascript:void(null)'>
  <input type='text' name='myVal1' size=30>
  <input type='checkbox' name='myCheckbox1' value='on' checked>
  <input type='checkbox' name='myCheckbox2' value='off'>
  ...
</form>
</body>

The second part of your question "How can I get ... only the checkbox inputs" is solved
by the use of the getElementsByTagName and the ".type" declarator:

  var myInputArray = document.forms[0].getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
  for (var i=0; i<myInputs.length; i++) {
    if (myInputArray[i].type == 'checkbox') {
      // we have a winner!
      // do something neato with myInputArray[i]
    }
  }

Hope that helps.

Hi- how can I set all the drop downs on my form to a single value with the

how to do it with drop downs.  The names of the select box variables are in

David,

	If you know the names of the checkboxes (BTW, it's a good idea
not to start object names with integers, because it can confuse the
scripting engine), you can just go through a loop like this:

for (i=10001;i<=10003;i++) {
	var newCheckBox = eval("document.formName." + i + "[status]");
	// selectedIndex is the index of the current option (in a
zero-based array)
	newCheckBox.selectedIndex = 3;
	}

	This should get you started; let us know if you have more
questions.

Cheers,

Peter

Erm, it's actually a violation of the spec --

   ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may
   be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens
   ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").

<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name>

And Murphy's Law dictates that it'll work fine anyway -- until you
*really* need it to, and don't have time to change them all :-)

FWIW!

If you DON'T know the names, and you really do want ALL checkboxes do
something like:

var loCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("input")
for (loItem in loCollection) {
  if ( loItem.type == "checkbox" ) {
    loItem.selectedIndex = 3; /* if there aren't 4 items, the first
option is selected */
    }
  } 

Note:  I haven't tested this code, so your mileage my vary...

One of the apps I'm working on now is a database engine for a web-site which
occassionally requires humongous tables to appear on the remote
(client-side) screen.  Since I'm using a combination of server-side PHP/SQL
and client-side JavaScript to paint this, there are timing issues involved
on both sides.

Aside from indexing, caching, hash-codes, compression, etc. (which I'm
investigating), one obvious way to appease the user on the client window is
to paint the screen record-by-record as the data comes in, rather than
waiting until the entire table is completed before updating the aforesaid
window.  What is the best way to do this?  Are there any JavaScript/DOM
directives that will force intermediate updates rather than waiting for the
object load to complete?  Should I use the createElement directive to build
each <tr> as a separate object?  Does anybody have any feel for this?

Are you issueing the data request from the client?  If yes, you could
request data in smaller chunks, and write the data in whatever chunk
size you want.  Probably no, because that approach opens other security
related issues (and would lead to allowing cross-domain
scripting/requests)

I don't know about PHP, but the ASP model uses buffering to cache the
whole HTML page before submitting it to the browser - but you can also
flush the buffer periodically during the page composition steps - which
would give the look and feel of an updating page (as long as the results
can adequately be expressed in a stepwise manner)

Another idea would be to cache the resultset of your query on the
server, then show smaller pages - of course, that would require a paging
scheme which can become complicated or cumbersome.  The benefit of
server side caching is that you might never have to send all the data
across the internet to the client, which could be a significant
load-time performance increase.  The downside is that there could be a
large number of round-trips from the user to the server requesting
pages, as well as the complexity involved with implementing the cache
and paging routines.

If the purpose is more of an analytic nature, it might be better to
suffer the long download of data then manipulate a local cache in some
format (like XML)  

Usually the answer to this type of problem revolves around your answer
to the question, "Why does the client really need such a humongous
recordset?  If we provide a decent filter mechanism, would it be
possible to have the user request less data in the first place?"  In the
cases I've seen, the marketing department (for example) requests 2
million records because they 'want everything' so they can pick out the
10-20k records of interest.  There's no way they can eyeball that much
data, so they are filtering what IT delivers anyway...

Or did I miss the point altogether?

First, the obvious thing would be to page your results so that there's not
so much info in one shot unless it's absolutely neccessary (in most cases,
it
is NOT neccessary to give them all the info on one page).

If that's not an option, a table won't render until it's complete, so your
best best
(although it will tremendously increase HTML file size) would be to put each
individual record in it's own table so that way by the time the next record
was being written out, the previous table would be complete.

Now I don't know about PHP, but in ASP, you can set buffering on code
and if you have that turned on, nothing will be sent to the client until the
entire
bit has been run.

To send the processed HTML to the client, I would use:

response.flush

Hope that might help a little.

Dear Chris:

All good ideas.  Unfortunately, in the former iteration I did have paging --
and got complaints from folks who wanted to print entire tables for reports
without segmentation issues getting in the way of the layout.  Business
majors -- go figure.

Although I'm certain the 'table per row' solution would work, the overhead
would be extremely gruesome, and I'll hold that trick in reserve until I've
exhausted everything else in the bag.

Have you any experience with createElement to "grow" an already displayed
table?  How does this affect the background latency to load the whole table?

The 'response.flush' feature might indeed work, particularly if I can force
the event handler to act on it after the "build" of each record.
Of course, since the screen geometry is set by "worst-case" TD
widths/heights, the whole screen will jitter like a hornytoad on a hotplate
as differing field lengths come pouring in.  Hmmm... some testing is in
order.

Dave,

How about creating a separate link to allow the user to download the 
data to an xml or text file.  If they want to do reporting I'm betting 
they are pasting/importing into a spreadsheet or reporting tool anyway.

Roger,

Excellent notion.  However, I'm also betting that people want to "see" the
output before they commit it to a table for reporting to the CEO.

I'll be sure to make the 'table-storage' download feature very prominent, in
hopes it takes some of the heat off the other bits...

I'm afraid even though the data selection is made from the client side, the
data upload is server-side driven, and it only knows what is in the query
that was submitted to it.  If a gazillion cells result from the query, the
server is obliged to squirt them all upstream as fast as it is able.
[Customer specs are a real pain, aren't they?]

If we think the "flush" method might move the already constructed <tr></tr>
blocks onto the screen, I'm perfectly willing to try doing a flush after
every record.  That would certainly improve the appearance of the
throughput, even though the total build time would be almost exactly the
same.

Just for kicks, does one do the refresh on the record, the table, or the
window?  (Or some baroque combination of all of them)...

Our intranet uses a server-side cache to store the results that could
take up to 15 minutes to retrieve from the SQL server.  The data is
presented in user-defined pages from 1 to 500 records at a time, with
first/previous/next/last and direct record number addressing.  Once the
eyeballing is done online, the user can click the export button to
retrieve a TAB delimited text file for easy import into Excel for use in
a pivot table or other analytic tool.  (why reinvent the pivot table,
when Excel does such a good job already?)

For the management types who just want to print a report, we serve
Crystal reports over the intranet via the crystal web control - this
solution does the number crunching on the server, allows
paging/drill-down/etc. and prints exactly as IT-serviced crystal reports
(rather than the ugly HTML print IE gives you)

For really serious number crunching analytics, consider giving your
user(s) a real database management package. <g>

Here's another idea:  If the user is only looking at a few key fields in
the browser, then only present those fields during the initial display.
When they confirm the result set is what they really want, THEN compose
the download for a bulk transfer.  (like writing a data file, then
redirecting the browser to an FTP download)

The "look and feel" stage would be improved in relation to the amount of
fields cut from the viewing process, and then the user is just going to
have to learn that half a million records takes a while to send over the
wire.  (maybe they'll learn to write better queries)

I'm not sure how PHP does buffering at the server, but in the ASP model
there is a .flush method that causes the buffer to be sent to the
browser each time it is executed.

If you DON'T know the names, and you really do want ALL checkboxes do
something like:

var loCollection = document.getElementsByTagName("input")
for (loItem in loCollection) {
  if ( loItem.type == "checkbox" ) {
    loItem.selectedIndex = 3; /* if there aren't 4 items, the first
option is selected */
    }
  } 

Note:  I haven't tested this code, so your mileage my vary...

David,

	If you know the names of the checkboxes (BTW, it's a good idea
not to start object names with integers, because it can confuse the
scripting engine), you can just go through a loop like this:

for (i=10001;i<=10003;i++) {
	var newCheckBox = eval("document.formName." + i + "[status]");
	// selectedIndex is the index of the current option (in a
zero-based array)
	newCheckBox.selectedIndex = 3;
	}

	This should get you started; let us know if you have more
questions.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi- how can I set all the drop downs on my form to a single value with
the click of a button?  I've seen ways to do it with checkboxes but I'm
not sure how to do it with drop downs.  The names of the select box
variables are in a number sequence e.g.

<select name=10001[status]>
<option value=N>NOT_STARTED
<option value=I>IN-PROGRESS
<option value=C>COMPLETE
</select>

<select name=10002[status]>
<option value=N>NOT_STARTED
<option value=I>IN-PROGRESS
<option value=C>COMPLETE
</select>

<select name=10003[status]>
<option value=N>NOT_STARTED
<option value=I>IN-PROGRESS
<option value=C>COMPLETE
</select>

Thanks for any help!

    Hi,

I have the regular expresion that is matching a positiv float number:

var oReg = /^((\d+(\,\d*)?)|((\d*\,)?\d+))$/;

How should I modify it to match a positiv float between 0 and 999? (for example, to match: 125 or 251,9 or 5).

Thanks in advance,
Dan Costea

	var oReg = /^\d{1,3}$/;

HTH -- though it feels wrong to be using a regexp on a number :-)

 /^\d{1,3}$/ doesn't match 251,9 but I added (\,\d*)?), resulting: var oReg
= /^(\d{1,3}(\,\d*)?)$/ and now it works OK!

? Sorry, I read that as `125 or 251 or 9 or 5` -- how is "251,9" a
float between 0 and 999?

float, not integer, OK, yeah -- sorry 'bout that :-)

Sigh. I'd still think that something like

   var thisNum = parseFloat(targetString);
   if (( thisNum <= 999 ) && ( thisNum >= 0 )) { // do something }

would be preferable, if only to eliminate locale issues like using
"," instead of "." ...

FWIW!

Hi:

Does anyone have any recommendations for a GUI javascript library. That is,
a library of widgets (tree, nav stuff, tabbed windows etc.) with a
consistent look and feel. it can be either a commercial or open-source
product.

much appreciated, thanks

You can use asp to do what you want to do.

Look for help on ASP File System Object.....also, this page may help
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/040699-1.shtml

You can also use JS to take the value of a form element from one page to
another. I would personally use ASP, but JS might do you for now.

Visit http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/jspass.html for some guidance on how
to do this.

If you are going to start passing variables across many pages, and looking
at more complex things, I would look at a server side language.

Hope this helps,

Alan...

Hey all,

In Perl, you can do things like:

   print qq*

   BUNCH OF PLAIN TEXT HERE

   *;

Is there a way to do something similar in JS?  If I have line after line of 
HTML I want to write, I've usually just done lots of document.writes, but 
that involves escaping quotes and whatnot.  Is there a better way?

I need to read & write the text contained by named html tags.

With recent Internet Explorers one can use innerText, i.e.: 

<td name="Tag4">The desired text to read & write</td> 
... 
function ReadWriteText(argTagName){ 
	alert(argTagName + ' contains ' + document.all.item(argTagName).innerText); 
	document.all.item(argTagName).innerText = "New contents"; 
} 

How can I do this with Netscape? Is there more than one method, depending
on Netscape/Javscript version? 

Thanks!

I suppose you could do some fancy regular expression to strip away the tag,
and so get your innerText

eg

var txt=element.innerHTML
  // get rid of tags

Thanks, Andrew.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get your method to
work with Netscape 4.  This is as far as I've gotten; it works with IE 6 &
Netscape 6 but fails on Netscape 4.7:

<p id="Bob">Old contents</p>

<input type="button" value="Change text" onClick="ChangeText('Bob');">

<script language="Javascript"><!--

function ChangeText(argTagName){
var W3C = (document.getElementById) ? 1 : 0; 
var IE4 = (document.all) ? 1 : 0; 
var NS4 = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0; 
	if (W3C) {
		document.getElementById(argTagName).innerHTML = "W3C";
	} else if (IE4) { 
		document.all.item(argTagName).innerText = "IE4";
	} else if (NS4) { 
		// stab in the dark!
		document.layers[argTagName].document.open();
		document.layers[argTagName].document.write("NS4");
		document.layers[argTagName].document.close();
	} else { 
		alert("Don't recognize this browser");
	}
}
--></script>

Is there something wrong with the syntax
"document.layers[argTagName].document"?

What technique can I use with Netscape 4?

Thanks!

I have a form that uses an onsubmit to validate the data and calculate
options selected in the form.  I need to pass the calculated value back to
an INPUT tag's value to be sent to a CGI script.  I use something similar to
f.tag.value = calc_value where calc_value is the calculated value my
validation/ calculation script generates.  When the data makes it over to my
cgi program, the tag value is null. What's wrong???
