I could only get this to work in Safari 3. It didn't work in Firefox  
or Opera. I'm not sure why.
I tried the following, which did work. It is even more inelegant.  
This only takes care of the first occurrence of the word.

function init(){
	var list=document.getElementById('theList');
	var theItems=list.getElementsByTagName('li');
	for (i=0;i<theItems.length; i++){
		var oneItem=theItems[i].getElementsByTagName('span');
		var headWord=oneItem[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		var sentence=oneItem[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
		oneItem[2].innerHTML=sentence.replace(headWord, headWord.bold 
().fontcolor("blue"));
		}
}

At any rate, thank you.

"This only takes care of the first occurrence of the word."
 
That's what you were aiming for, -isn't it?!
 
This will do the same:
 
function init(){ var theList=document.getElementById("theList") var listItem = theList.getElementsByTagName('li')
for (i=0;i< listItem.length; i++){ var notion = listItem[i].getElementsByTagName('span')  notion[2].innerHTML=  notion[2].innerHTML.replace(notion[0].innerHTML,  notion[0].innerHTML.bold().fontcolor('blue')) }}
 
..but will not clear the "word" if applyed for the seccond time.
nice html structure bye the way!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                        Troy III                            progressive art enterprise~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Subject: [Javascript] DOCTYPE v JS question
Message-ID: <p06240801c37905ecbd12@[192.168.1.100]>

Hi gang:

Here's two examples:

[1] http://www.webbytedd.com/cc/scale/index.php

[2] http://www.webbytedd.com/cc/scale/index1.php

Both are identical except [2] has a DOCTYPE.

Why does giving this file a DOCTYPE prohibit javascript from running 
in some browsers?

For example, both Safari and FF for the Mac this script fails, but in 
Opera for the Mac it works -- why? And more importantly, how can I 
fix it?

Thanks and Cheers,

tedd

The DOCTYPE itself doesn't do anything, but the change in
compatibility mode will change the DOM and some CSS. I suggest you
open up the error console of firefox and read the errors from there.

The actual error, I believe, is that you need to put a unit on all
sizes in CSS in standards mode.

The working copy is running in compatibility mode which basically  
means the browser will "assume" it knew what you meant even though  
your code isn't "technically" right. It is better to get your code  
"right" and not let the browser make assumptions about your code.

Hello everyone,

I have this code snip...


var listener = GEvent.addListener(map, "moveend", function() {
   document.getElementById("mapinfo").innerHTML="Zoom: "+map.getZoom() 
+" Bounds: "+map.getBounds();
   GDownloadUrl(url, function(data, status) {
     markers=eval(data);
     map.clearOverlays();
     for (var i in markers) {
      var where = new GLatLng(markers[i].lat, markers[i].lng);
      var opts = {title: markers[i].title};
      var marker = new GMarker(where, opts);
      map.addOverlay(marker);
     }
   });
});


I would like to take the first function() {...} and make it a named  
function, but when I do it I get something like map undefined. How do  
I un-anonymous-ize a function?

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to use

var listener = GEvent.addListener(map, "moveend", function  
myNamedFunction() {

without any problem. Does that not work?

Regards,

Nick.

Nick,

Thanks, that did work without error, but how would I then call the  
function?

Where is map being defined? if you do take it out of this add listener
call make sure you put it after where 'map' is specified, this could
be why you are getting 'map undefined errors. So your code would look
something like


// somewhere where map is defined

// taking out your function into a named function
function myNamedFunction () {
   document.getElementById("mapinfo").innerHTML="Zoom:
"+map.getZoom()+" Bounds: "+map.getBounds();
   GDownloadUrl(url, function(data, status) {
       markers=eval(data);
       map.clearOverlays();
       for (var i in markers) {
           var where = new GLatLng(markers[i].lat, markers[i].lng);
           var opts = {title: markers[i].title};
           var marker = new GMarker(where, opts);
           map.addOverlay(marker);
       }
   });
}

// add the listner
var listener = GEvent.addListener(map, "moveend", myNamedFunction);

Kind regards
Natalie

Hello,

Thanks for the responses. I am still very confused. I have never been  
able to get my head around this type of thing. I must be missing  
something. How I would do something like the following, and in the  
process it may answer my first question. (also is there some  
recommended reading I could do on this subject?)

suppose I have something like...
//global context
var a="Hello World";
...

  //local context, not global
  var a="Goodbye World";
  var listener = GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function()  
{ alert(a); });
  a="Last Known";

When the event fires what will be in the alert. And how would I pass  
information from the local context to the alert?


In case my contrived example doesn't make sense here is the actual  
code I am struggling with... I would like the alert to show the value  
of i in the local context it is instead showing the last value of i.

for (var i in markers) {
  var where = new GLatLng(markers[i].lat, markers[i].lng);
  var opts = {title: markers[i].title};
  var marker = new GMarker(where, opts);
  map.addOverlay(marker);
  var listener = GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function()  
{ alert(i); });
}



Thanks for any help with this.

Terry Riegel

Where is map being defined? if you do take it out of this add listener
call make sure you put it after where 'map' is specified, this could
be why you are getting 'map undifined errors. So your code would look
something like


// somewhere where map is defined

// taking out your function into a named function
function myNamedFunction () {
    document.getElementById("mapinfo").innerHTML="Zoom:
"+map.getZoom()+" Bounds: "+map.getBounds();
    GDownloadUrl(url, function(data, status) {
        markers=eval(data);
        map.clearOverlays();
        for (var i in markers) {
            var where = new GLatLng(markers[i].lat, markers[i].lng);
            var opts = {title: markers[i].title};
            var marker = new GMarker(where, opts);
            map.addOverlay(marker);
        }
    });
}

// add the listner
var listener = GEvent.addListener(map, "moveend", myNamedFunction);

Subject: [Javascript] HTML e-mail of form data
Message-ID: <001b01c839b1$d8b2a4c0$6401a8c0@delweg>

Good Morning;

I have numerous forms (design programs) for various clients such as the one
shown here
http://www.edi-cp.com/at_estimator.html

At least one of the clients has now asked that I add a button which permits
the webpage user to ask for a quote.
The others will follow.

The action should be as follows:
The user clicks the button
Some information is gathered from the form
A new HTML  form is created and e-mailed to the sales department
        This form contains blanks which the sales person can fill in
(online)
        When the blanks are filled in, the HTML form is the completed quote
The completed quote is e-mailed by the sales person to the webpage user.
        Probably with the "Reply" button.

Can this be done with JavaScript?
Are there any examples available?

Is it necessary to use something like PERL?

Thanks for any sources of help and information.

Del

Not a good idea. Client support for HTML formatted email is  
notoriously variable. Better to send a link (that opens in a regular  
web browser) that contains the information needed to populate the  
form (this could embed all the data in the link, or provide a  
reference to a database row containing that data.

Be careful about keeping any confidential data secret.

More likely by submitting the form to the server, and letting a  
process there take care of e-mailing it.

Its "Perl", not "PERL".

You need something that runs on the server. It is probably possible  
for this to be JavaScript (using Rhino), although I'm not aware of a  
great deal of support for that (both in the way of helpful libraries  
and hosting packages that support it out of the box). Perl would be  
my preference, alternatives include Python, Ruby, JSP, PHP, ASP and  
ASP.NET.

Subject: [Javascript] "Not Implemented" Error in IE -- Firefox is fine
Message-ID: <004301c841b8$d9427be0$8bc773a0$@net>

 

Can anyone shed any light on an error I'm getting in IE 7, but not Firefox?
The page is
http://www.alsde.edu/superintendentletter/superintendentletter.aspx?sys=001.
e6774ade - and when it loads, IE gives an error on line 20/character 16
which says "Not implemented". Firefox does not give any errors and works as
expected.

 

Any idea what is "not implemented"? If I'm counting correctly, the error is
with 

 

var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];

 

but aspnetForm exists, and I'm pretty sure the document.forms[] is allowed.

 

Thanks,

Glenn

I get no error under IE 6.
Must be some "new feature" of IE7?

Any way, personnaly I find the document.forms['aspnetForm'] notation 
only useful when the form name is in a variable.
with constants, document.forms.aspnetForm looks cleaner, and 
document.aspnetForm should work as well

Uh, my recollection is that DOM uses an integer in the bracket as an index, 
although it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see all sorts of wierd 
exceptions out there.

Turns out I was wrong about the location of the error - it is in the
addLoadEvent function 

 

function addLoadEvent(func) {

var oldonload = window.onload;

if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {

window.onload = func;

}

else {

window.onload = function() {

oldonload();

func();

}

}

}

 

I'm actually on Christmas vacation, and this is a production application, so
the code was removed fairly quickly. Sorry about that. I will create a
sample page after the first of the year to determine exactly what wasn't
implemented.

 

Thanks for the quick look.

Subject: [Javascript] hide div in mouseout
Message-ID: <000801c84311$df126990$af24a8c0@SF2003.de>

I guess it's a common problem!

I have a <div> element which is created by a link. When leaving the <div> (onmouseout) it will disappear.
The problem is that even when leaving the link, that created the <div>, the <div> disappears before even
"touching" it.

That's why I use this function that I found:

<div onmouseout="javascript:if(checkMouseLeave(this, event)) { hide(); }">

function checkMouseLeave (element, evt) {alert(evt);
  if (element.contains && evt.toElement) {
    return !element.contains(evt.toElement);
  }
  else if (evt.relatedTarget) {
    return !containsDOM(element, evt.relatedTarget);
  }
}


So far so good! But in my latest project I create the <div> dynamically by
var div = createElement('div');

Now I have to assign the event handler onmouseout. With a simple function I would chose:
div.onmouseout = function() { hide(this) };

There we have the old problem. If I would replace it with the function above:
div.onmouseout = function() { checkMouseLeave(this, event) };
the function won't find the 'event', since the var did not exist when I assigned the function dynamically to the div.

So I'm searching for 2 options I guess:
1. Simpy add the function() { hide() } which can(!) call the checkMouseLeave functionality and then hide the div
2. Find a way to put the whole line into the event onmouseout, something like div.onmouseout = "javascript:if(checkMouseLeave(this, event)) { hide(); }"
    I know this one WORKS: div.setAttribute('onmouseout', 'javascript:if(checkMouseLeave(this, event)) { hide(); }');
    But as far as I know this is not "allowed" or can cause problems with other browsers.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Try this:

div.onmouseout = function(event) {
  if (checkMouseLeave(this, event)) {
    hide();
  }
};

I did a quick test and it seemed to work fine in FF2 and IE7 here

Thanks,
Matt

 First of all thanks since the syntax is the correct one.
Unfortunately the "checkMouseLeave" function causes probs in IE6,
the toElement method won't work (toElement empty or undefined)!

function checkMouseLeave (element, evt) {
  if (element.contains && evt.toElement) {
    return !element.contains(evt.toElement);
  }
  else if (evt.relatedTarget) {
    return !containsDOM(element, evt.relatedTarget);
  }
}

There seems to be a workaround here:
http://www.mediaevent.de/javascript/event_properties.html

Does anyone have a different or fully compatible "checkMouseLeave" function?

I wonder if there is one in the prototype framework...

I just tested some variations and changed the name for 'event' into 'foo' 
f.e.:

div.onmouseout = function(foo) { bar(foo) } ;

This will ALSO RETURN THE EVENT!! Can somebody explain why?
Is it by default that function(whatever) always makes 'whatever' deliver the 
event "object"
or can there be other "return objects" too - if so: which ones?!

Works absolutely perfect! Could you please explain why this is necessary?
Does function(transport) make "transport" global in some way or what is the 
reason?

Thanks!

Message-ID: <p06240807c3933f56b31c@[192.168.1.104]>

Hi gang:

I've looked, but can not find a temporary Alert.

What I mean is:

"Hi, this is a temporary Alert box and I will automatically close in 
5 seconds."

An Alert that will notify the user of something, but will NOT require 
the user to respond to go away. But instead, will close on its own 
after a set time.

It sounds simple enough, but I couldn't find nor generate one. Can 
this be done?

Thanks in advance for any references or code.

Cheers,

tedd

This is hardly the most elegant solution, but it works on most browser 
platforms I've dealt with.

In the HTML body declaration of your dialog, create an 'onload' event 
handler of the following sort:

onload = "setTimeout( 'window.this.close()', 5000)";

This is dirt simple, and no doubt will call down the wrath of the Javascript 
gurus with much more refined (and less fragile) solutions.

While you can reference an alert as a window and play the same games, it is 
often hard (and somewhat browser dependent) to do so; I prefer to create a 
child window and use it instead of a generic alert.  With a little 
imagination, you can manipulate the window parameters so that the user is 
completely unaware that he is not talking directly to an alert - but you 
have the window id and name under your full control.  It also is less 
complicated to reference the <body> portion of the code in order to insert 
the onload handler.

Wouldn't it be better to use an element as a layer over the rest of the content, rather than a child window that could be blurred and stuck behind the main window?

Just a thought...

Thanks Dave -- I'll look into that.

It really doesn't have to be an Alert -- it could be a window.

You see, I have a database access that can take up to five seconds 
after the user clicks "Submit" and during that time I would like to 
tell the user to wait (instead of clicking things widely and throwing 
a tantrum) -- which is what I do when I don't know what's happening.

I'm actually surprised that such a critter isn't a staple for 
programming GUI stuff.

Cheers,

tedd

HTML: <div id="WorkingNotice">Working...</div>
CSS:
#WorkingNotice {display: none;}  /* normal presentation rule */
#WorkingNotice.shown {display: block;} /* special case presentation rule */
Javascript:
/* try to get a reference to the object */
var wn = document.getElementById("WorkingNotice");
/* if the reference is valid, add the "shown" class to change its
presentation via CSS */
if( wn ) { wn.className = wn.className.replace(/\sshown/,"") + " shown"; }
    // some long-running process here
/* if the reference is valid, remove the "shown" class so its presentation
is reset to normal */
if( wn ) { wn.className = wn.className.replace(/\sshown/,"") ; }

Of course you can add a background image to this div and size and position
it however you'd like.  As Peter suggested, the idea is that you have a DOM
element in front of everything else on the screen which you can control.
(you might need to remove the "shown" className in a different method if
you're using some event-based trigger such as another element's onload)  You
might also make(or find) a more elegant function to manage the className
property of your elements.

It sounds like you could always settle for one of those AJAX-inspired
circle-of-circles images with a "Working..." or "Loading..." caption
next to it.

Try http://www.ajaxload.info/ to see what I mean.

Have it appear when the submit button is pressed, either replacing it,
underneath it or in the centre of the screen.

Hope that helps,
Matt

    Thanks for the word, Nick.  Unfortunately, I haven't had any control over those pages for a long time (on the other hand, all the code you need is already displayed in the body of the article).

Cheers,

The link for downloading the zip doesn't appear to be working.

Oh, you mean something like this:

It's a bit antiquated, but you get the general idea.

Thanks Dave -- I'll look into that.

It really doesn't have to be an Alert -- it could be a window.

You see, I have a database access that can take up to five seconds 
after the user clicks "Submit" and during that time I would like to 
tell the user to wait (instead of clicking things widely and throwing 
a tantrum) -- which is what I do when I don't know what's happening.

I'm actually surprised that such a critter isn't a staple for 
programming GUI stuff.

Cheers,

tedd

Matt:

That would work provided that I could make it go away after 5 seconds.

Funny, I can get it to wait for 5 seconds after I click a submit to 
show itself, but I can't get it to show itself and then go away after 
5 seconds.

Merry Christmas,

tedd

I agree - you may recall I said the solution I proposed was 'dirty'. 
Irrespective of what you use, some layer management would be a good idea - 
all together too many apps park messages off the screen or behind some other 
element, or rely on some absurd window geometry that doesn't apply.

Wouldn't it be better to use an element as a layer over the rest of the 
content, rather than a child window that could be blurred and stuck behind 
the main window?

Just a thought...

From: "David Lovering" dlovering at gazos.com

This is hardly the most elegant solution, but it works on most browser
platforms I've dealt with.

In the HTML body declaration of your dialog, create an 'onload' event
handler of the following sort:

onload = "setTimeout( 'window.this.close()', 5000)";

This is dirt simple, and no doubt will call down the wrath of the Javascript
gurus with much more refined (and less fragile) solutions.

While you can reference an alert as a window and play the same games, it is
often hard (and somewhat browser dependent) to do so; I prefer to create a
child window and use it instead of a generic alert. With a little
imagination, you can manipulate the window parameters so that the user is
completely unaware that he is not talking directly to an alert - but you
have the window id and name under your full control. It also is less
complicated to reference the portion of the code in order to insert
the onload handler.

Hi,

Try this:

div.onmouseout = function(event) {
  if (checkMouseLeave(this, event)) {
    hide();
  }
};

I did a quick test and it seemed to work fine in FF2 and IE7 here

Thanks,
Matt

Who are you talking to?

My understanding is that you subscribed yourself to this list and if 
you want to unsubscribe, then simply click the link that appears at 
the bottom of every post and take whatever actions necessary to 
unsubscribe yourself.
