Subject: [Javascript] IE/FF, getElementById and checkboxes

Sorry guys, I should have included errors...DOH.
 
I have firebug on my FF, and like you have said, the first error is for:
 
if(actform.deluser(i).checked) <----- actform.deluser is not a function
 
And there is a note for: 
Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead - undefined
 
So I guess those are for the 2 lines I highlighted.
 
This has always confused me, but in using getElementById, how do you write out the for loop instance differently: for(i = 0; i < actform.deluser.length; i++)
 
I tried document.getElementById('deluser').length, but that did not seem to work.
 
I will try your ideas. Thanks again for your help.
 
Alan...

Remember, collection elements use brackets in C-syntax languages (this still trips me up sometimes):if(actform.delusers[i].checked)       The first line's trouble is a bit more difficult to track down.  The actual error message would be helpful, so we don't have to guess at what the complaint was; if I had to guess, I'd say you need to include more of the tree hierarchy, i.e.document.actform.delusersor evendocument.forms.actform.delusers...but it's hard to say what the actual problem is without knowing what error was thrown.  You did open the Javascript console (by typing javascript: in the address bar and hitting Enter), right?  If not, do that and run the page again; report the error message here and we'll take a more informed shot at the problem.Cheers,Peter

Hi All, I have some validation that works in IE, for when I need to check if any checkboxes are checked in my form. If there are, then I submit the form. Code is below: ------------------------------------------------ <script language="JavaScript">function delArts(){var i,sel;sel = 0;for(i = 0; i < actform.delusers.length; i++)    <----THIS LINE{if(actform.delusers(i).checked)                    <---THIS LINE{sel = 1;}}if(sel != 1){alert("Deletion of Users\n\nYou must first select some users to delete.");}else{if(confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete these users?")){actform.submit();}}}</script> Example checkbox field:<input type="checkbox" value="5" name="delusers"> All are called "delusers", and have different values. Now I know I need to ad "id"'s to all of these, but I am still having trouble. ------------------------------------------------ However this is not working in FF. I know I need to change to use getElementById, but the two lines highlighted above are causing me problems. Any help would be appreciated in order so the validation works in IE and Ff. Thanks, Alan...

Hassan Schroeder already provided one way to do this - put the following code before the loop, then the above syntax will work (if you change 'deluser' to 'delusers'), as it makes sure delusers is an array
 

var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");

var delusers = Array();

for ( var j = 0; j < inputs.length; j++ )

{

if ( inputs[j].name == "delusers" )

{

delusers.push(inputs[j]);

}

}

    I'm pretty sure* that if you refer to a form element by name *within the form structure* with a fully qualified name, you should be fine.  It would be an unfortunate loss if we no longer had the ability to work with form elements in that way.

* (I'm not a standards expert so feel free to DOM-slap me if I'm wrong)

Claude:

That was spot-on and worked.

What I found interesting was how you went from this:

    form.a1.checked

to this:

    form['a'+i].checked

which basically meant that:

    form.a1.checked = form['a1'].checked

That's neat to know/realize -- thanks!

I have e function like this:
 
function onmouseover(e){        if(!e) {e=event.srcElement}                else {e=e.target}                var type = e.getAttribute('type')
                var monitor=document.getElementById("monitor")        if(type){                monitor.innerHTML+= '<br>this element type is: '+ type}
                }
 
document.onmouseover = onmouseoverWhat this function does is that it identifies the element that fired the
 
onmouseover event
 
than it checks if the element has a defined "type" attribute, if it does
than it writes the value of the type attribute into the element named
monitor.
 
The problem with this function is that FX is triggering the event twice,
causing two calls per event to the function.
 
Odly enough, I was forced to assign the id of the element to the var:
 
                var monitor=document.getElementById("monitor")
Otherwise
I get error: "monitor is not defined"! Not the usual:"element referenced 
by name/id, you should use standard bla bla bla...".
 
This error should not relate to the problem causing the double call of the
function. But there it is!
 
As it turns out I understand that it is not the statement:
document.onmouseover = onmouseover
that causes the problem, but the name of the function itself. 
 
This means that you can use a never seen before syntax:
 
function onclick(){alert ("I must have clicked somewhere")}
 
And it will work!!!
 
After discovering this weird hybrid (event-function) object, I've managed 
to eliminate the double function call by changing the name of the function, 
naturally, but what do you call it? Is it some sort of a proprietary shorthand 
scripting routine I never seen before, or what?

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that everything in Javascript 
is associated with an object.  In a browser environment, window is the 
top-level object, so all functions and variables that appear to be 
top-level items actually are properties and methods of the window 
object.  If that is true, then

function onmouseover(e) {}  is the same as
window.onmouseover = function(e) {}

So, the behavior you are seeing is the behavior I would have expected.

Beginners question: How do I accept a text string through a

I realise this must be pretty basic, but I don't know the right phrase to

I'm replying to the digest; I hope this doesn't duplicate another
response.

If you specifically want to use POST rather than GET, I'm not sure how
to do that directly. I did an end-around once via a hidden form but I
thought it was ugly.

If you want to use GET, the basics are fairly simple:

function myFunction() {
    var myString="This is the data value I want to send to PHP";
    document.location="myprogram.php?value="+myString;
}

myprogram.php would retrieve the value using "$value=$_GET['value']";

Hope this helps.

Hey all,

I have a login function that has been working fine 
for a very long time. All of a sudden (or at least 
for a reason I could not nail down) it began to 
fail to validate properly.

I had this on the PHP side when a user name 
password combination failed:

echo 'false';

And in the JS I simply did this:

if (ret=='false')
	alert('Invalid login')

But when I did an alert on the return I got this:

' false'

The echoed value 'false' is now coming through 
with space padded on the left side.

Can anyone explain this to me???

Thanks globules!

If you want to be sure that's a real, honest-to-goodness space (i.e. character 13), you can use my string analyzer:

Paste your value and see what you get.

Hey Peter & all,

No changes to the server, and it's right here 15 
feet from me, so I can be sure of that.

What I ended up doing to solve it is echo back 
'false' or 'true' and then use ret.indexOf('true') 
to look for the whole word anywhere in the 
returned value.

While this fix works, I am still very curious as 
to why it is returning this value.

I'll check out the analyzer.

Thanks,
Skip

    Although this question is not abot JavaScript (off-topic?), I can
suggest you to debug it in steps: first of all, check if there is no
spaces before you start your "<?php" and if you are using the right
encoding (UTF-8 withouth BOM, please). BOM sometimes 'cause trouble in
PHP, which is not very prepared to use that, yet.
    If the above don't help to find/solve the problem try putting a
simple "die('mimi');" in different places in the code (try in the very
first php line and go down on the code until the desired "echo") to
see where this space are being inserted.

  Amplexos.

Hi.

Beginners question: How do I accept a text string through a 
javascript 'prompt' dialog then immediately POST it to a php file?

I realise this must be pretty basic, but I don't know the right phrase to 
google for, apparently :/

Thanks,

Mark

Subject: [Javascript] Scriptaculous Auto.Completer and "current" parameters
Message-ID: <003101c8b035$62785e30$1e00a8c0@MBPC>

If you want to add parameters to be parsed you can do it by adding them to the 'parameters' option.

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Ajax.Autocompleter

F.e. I have an input field customers_id = 1, I simply add: { customersID: $F('customers_id') }

But since my Autocompleter is loaded at the beginning by
new Ajax.Autocompleter(id_of_text_field, id_of_div_to_populate, url, options);the class always parses the same customers_id, the one from the beginning, which always is '1'.Even if I change the input field (f.e. '2') '1' is parsed as a value.The idea behind this is logical since '1' was the value when the class was initiated.I could initiate a new class every time the autocompleter is supposed to be fired, f.e. by an onfocus event.But in this case the old class continues to fire and the HTTPRequest will multiply themselves.Is there a way to destruct the old class or to pass parameters "correctely", always parsing the true "current" value?

Hi all,

I have a doubt with connecting the database using javascript.

I tried to connect MYSQL database with my application through javascript
with the help of ado connection.

I have succeded in that but the problem is i could not access the connection
with the other system which are in LAN connection with my system.

So i installed the odbc drive in all the system and verified it , its
working fine.

But i dont want to install in all the machine, I want to make my machine as
the server and to run from the other machine without installing the odbc
drive the other machine.

 please give me some idea .

Regards,

Nixson.

Sounds like you need an application server, to run on top of your web 
server, for server side processing. A pure JavaScript solution? Maybe 
Aptana's Jaxer.

Cheers, all of you.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to JavaScript and just purchased "JavaScript: The Good  
Parts".

Here is the code from the book.  I also tried copying it from the  
online source and have the same problem:

// Create myObject. It has a value and an increment
// method. The increment method takes an optional
// parameter. If the argument is not a number, then 1
// is used as the default.

var myObject = {
     value: 0;
     increment: function (inc) {
         this.value += typeof inc === 'number' ? inc : 1;
     }
};

myObject.increment(  );
document.writeln(myObject.value);    // 1

myObject.increment(2);
document.writeln(myObject.value);    // 3

The problem is that firebug reports:
missing } after property list
  value : 0;\n

Can anyone see the problem?

Thanks,

Brian

With this notation, you need to use a comma, not a semi-colon.

Subject: [Javascript] Mouse cursor for AJAX projects?
Message-ID: <48259986.9030909@bigskypenguin.com>

Hey all,

I've been developing sites running 100% AJAX 
communication between client and server, and one 
issue I have yet to solve is that when a link is 
selected in the browser we don't see anything 
indicating the browser is waiting for the server 
to respond, like the spinning graphics and stuff 
in the top right corner of IE and FF.

I have seen some implementation that make the 
cursor spin to clue the user that the system is 
working, but can't find a code snippet or 
documentation explaining how to implement this.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey all,

I'm trying to change the actual title tag value in 
the <head> section using the DOM. But with Google 
finding the attributes to set for title is tough, 
because the word title searches all kinds of other 
stuff but not <head><title>....</title></head>

So anyway, I can get the title by tag name:

var title=document.getElementsByTagName('title');

But I can't find the right arguments to pass to

setAttribute('?????','New Page Title');

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Skip

That's because the title text is not an attribute of the title tag;
it's a text node child of the title element, e.g.

  <title>$content</title>

Try:

document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].text = "New Title"

Hey all,

At the suggestion of another list member this was

document.title="new title";

I use an animated image usually from http://www.ajaxload.info/ , and display
it in the same div that the content will end up in, or you can get fancy
with css, grey the page and show just the image.

That's very odd. The title attribute is usually used for displaying
a "tooltip" in compliant browsers, and for distinguishing style sheets.
It seems counter-intuitive to me for this to alter the actual content
of the page title.

I would have thought something like this :

  document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].firstChild = 'New Title';

(Assuming you really can access the TITLE element in all browsers.)

Cordially,

I don't know how to make the cursor spin, but showing an animated GIF on
submitting the request, then hiding it again when the request returns
might work for you.

HTML
<span><span class="waiting">&nbsp;</span></span>
CSS
.waiting {
  display:block;
  width: 32px; /* whatever */
  height: 32px: /* " " */
  background: url(images/rotating.gif) no-repeat center;
  visibility: hidden;
}

Toggle the visibility to "visible" and back via your script.

The extra span is to keep the box "inline" and may not be needed.

Cordially,
David

Thanks to a combination of some top posting, and your choice of place  
to put your response, I'm not sure if you are responding to the  
message your mail client claims you are, or to a much earlier message  
in the thread that was quoted in it, but...

If the former: The title property of the document object doesn't map  
on to any attribute, it maps directly onto the title of the document.

If the latter: The OP was saying that the approach he was taking was  
not working.

Thank you for the correction. I am forever getting confused by
JavaScript's dot notation. Perhaps I should stick to COBOL.  ;)

Hi,

I am sorry if this has been asked already.

I have a scriptlet on my website that I want to add to the user's
favorites menu (Internet Explorer 6+). I am using:

window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);

This works fine when the url is "http:" protocol based but it wont let
me add a "javascript:" url. The error I get is permission denied.

This is my code:

/*BEGIN CODE*/
// JavaScript OnClick handler:
function addScriptletToFavs() {
   var url = "JavaScript:myfucn();void();";
   var title = "My Scriptlet";

   window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);
}

// HTML code for button:
<input type="button" value="Add to Favourites"
onclick="JavaScript:addScriptletToFavs();" />

/*END CODE*/

Can anybody please help me in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

Aaron.

I've never tried what you are doing, but I suspect you are denied for

Since "Javascript" is a defined word, perhaps you need to double
up the ""?

Just a thought.

Your script is fine, 
but a command such as window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);will expose the browser to a malicious code of an uncivilized 
coder that will put into your favs every evil he can think of
right under your mouseclick.
 
Therefore, its a security restriction.
 
You will probably get a similar error/warning even if you manually
try to change some link addres protocol into javascript command.

Subject: [Javascript] Auto reloading JS files on change?
Message-ID: <483DFB3A.5000808@bigskypenguin.com>

Hey all,

I have the following in an HTML file that is 
echo'd to the browser via PHP code.

<script src="ajax/players.js" 
type="text/javascript"></script>

But whenever this, and other, .js files are 
modified the user must know to hit the refresh 
button on his browser.

I've been looking for a way to reload the JS files 
on changes, and I've come across the last-modified 
header element, but not sure how to implement this.

Of special note here is that the HTML file is read 
via PHP and then sent to the browser with a

echo $html

...call. Can someone point me in the right 
direction here?

Thanks!

Subject: [Javascript] innerHTML assignment overflows TD cell in FF
Message-ID: <483F3EC7.6050604@bigskypenguin.com>

Hey all,

I have a table set up with a main content cell in 
the center column of three, basically like this:

<table>
	<tr>
	<td colspan="3">header</td>
	</tr>

	<tr>
	<td>stuff</td>
	<td>the most stuff</td>
	<td>stuff</td>
	</tr>

	<tr>
	<td colspan="3">footer</td>
	</tr>
<table>

On the server side I build a content page and user 
innerHMTL=content;

..in JS code to insert the content into the column 
labeled "the most stuff".

The problem is when that column has less content, 
and then shifts to more content the latter part of 
the content runs over the footer below the main 
content row.

This is ONLY happening in Firefox, IE on windows 
works fine. Firefox has the problem on both Linux 
and Windows.

Any help would greatly, greatly appreciated.

Not much help, I'm afraid but both Firefox 2x and 3x on Linux have no 
trouble with a quick testcase I hacked up:

    <http://lester.demon.nl/test/table-enlarger.html>

This is strictly a JavaScript implementation, however. Maybe the anomaly 
is triggered by your use of PHP..? Some more detail on the code you use 
would be helpful.

 I would not expect Firefox to misbehave in these circumstances. What
styling are you applying to the table?
 Also, have you tried using 'proper' table markup? i.e.,
 table
         thead
                 ...
         /thead
         tfoot
                 ...
         /tfoot
         tbody
                 ...
         /tbody
 /table
 It would be interesting to see if browsers played more nicely with
this.
  Regards,
 Paul

Subject: [Javascript] capturing changes to the fragment identifier
Message-ID: <983424.31886.qm@web65709.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

For those who don't know, the fragment identifier is everything after the pound symbol (#) aka the hash symbol.  It is intended to be used as a way to navigate within a document and bookmark that section of a document.  Gmail uses it to determine what to load into iframes, using iframes as a model for recording 'hard state' and 'soft state' for the application.  My use case is similar to Gmail.

The caveat to the fragment identifier is that the DOM must know about it *a priori* in order to get the browser's baked in navigation and bookmark state-process schemes.  For rich internet applications that function as Active Documents, there is no way for the browser to perform deductive reasoning about the document's navigation structure or what constitutes a bookmark (a plug-in instantiated through the object element is by default opaque).  Everything is determined on-the-fly, in response to client-side requests.  These determinations can be persisted, either through isolated storage on the client or through a commit executed by sending the state to the server for storage in the network.  However, a better model is to make use of HTTP and record state in the URI.  Gmail is a pretty tame case, since its navigation structure is discrete ('#inbox', '#starred', etc.).

Currently, there does not appear to be a cross-browser compatible method for handling changes to the fragment identifier as an event.  IE8 is planning to support onHashChange as an event handler, but it does not appear to be a w3c standard.

Such an event handler would be ideal, since it would push all updates to hard and soft state into a single point: a resource.

How can I do this cross-browser?  FF1.5+, IE7+, and Safari is pretty much the bare minimum support required version-wise, but I'd prefer to support it feature-wise and deterministically figure out what browsers can even do this.

One approach might be to apply onclick and onkeypress events to all 
anchors with hrefs containing fragment identifiers, and then process 
the changes to the hash with one central function when any of the 
links is activated.

This approach doesn't preserve the browser's navigation and bookmark state-process scheme, though.  Rule 1 for me is Don't Break The Browser.

If you go to http://www.example.com/mail#inbox, load the page and then edit the url in the location bar to http://www.example.com/mail#starred and hit enter, nothing will happen.  onclick and onkeypress is the wrong granularity for this.
