You are including that in another html page, so you wind up with multiple , , and tags. Put your javascript only (no html) in its own .js file, and reference that file in a tags in the head of the page.)

I have no idea how much of what I'm not seeing is broken vs. not-yet-implemented. I guess I gave large benefit of the doubt :) when you ask "would it store my variables" - are you sure your declarations are 'variable' if they're hardcoded in a file now? Typically you would have let's call it 8-10k worth of function definitions and other program code to make your page work. If you have less than 1k worth of data that changes frequently compared to the program code, for example: weather details, then consider: Put the program code in one script file and the data in another file. Reference both in your markup. The browser will request the program code effectively, "Hey, has the file I downloaded last week with X timestamp+bytecount still fresh?" If the server says, "Yup, that's what I'd serve up: use it" then you save the time it takes to download 8-10k worth of code the browser already has. Then the browser says, "What about this data file I have from 5 days ago?" and the server responds, "No I update this file hourly, here's the 1k of new data" Instead of downloading markup(4k)+program(10k)+data(1k)=15k, you download markup(4k)+program(cached)+data(1k)=5k and your page is ready 66% quicker. If it sounds like I'm just being a kook about a few bytes, download the YSlow extension to Firebug (in Firefox) and examine the page weights of "unprimed cache" vs "primed cache" and qualitatively feel the difference between a content-rich page like cnn.com on first-download and subsequent requests. (1141.4K vs 109.4K) The takeaway (if there is one) is that you build for performance from day 1 - high performance is not something you can add-on at the end of a project when you find that it's too slow/clunky for anyone to tolerate. I would also preemptively counter the "Oh this is just a small project I'm doing for fun, so it doesn't really matter" with the suggestion that small/fun projects are how you learn to do things the proper way - so when you get the large project you already have good habits/skills. Then of course the project manager/boss will push you to cut corners for the sake of time/money budgets :) From lists at pruimphotography.com Sat Oct 2 15:20:59 2010 From: lists at pruimphotography.com (Jason Pruim) Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2010 16:20:59 -0400 Subject: [Javascript] Javascript include problem?

The way the site is working right now (All done from examples I've found on the net so it may not be the best way...) The file that is referenced in the GDownloadURL grabs the info from the database and puts it into an XML format which is then passed into the javascript to process the XML and plot it out on the map. The map should be displaying a single point on the map centered over that point along with the address below it and brief info about the event. All of that is working perfectly fine as long as the html/javascript is in the same page AND not included in my final display page... Once I try and include it all I get is a grey box along with the google buttons... > > Typically you would have let's call it 8-10k worth of function > definitions > and other program code to make your page work.

Either you will adopt a framework like jQuery or you'll end up with a standard set of tricks you figured out on your own (which becomes your custom framework) Something about how you described the problem in your most recent email makes me wonder if you would benefit from labjs.com. It's a convenient library to manage dynamically adding script to your page. There are others with allegedly easier to understand usage but I found labjs to be very straightforward. Also, If you haven't already seen json.org I suggest you check it out. XML is likely to be the most-cited format for exchanging data (ex: SOAP) - but especially for javascript and especially for applications where you control both the server and the client, the json format for data is very convenient.

I am not sure the onChange event is fired consistently on every browser - it sounds like it's only checked upon the control losing focus.

Because that is what is supposed to happen: "the event is deferred until the element loses focus." ? http://api.jquery.com/change/ Use a keypress event if you want it to happen on a keypress. > More than that, the remaining chars number is increasing only by one. $(this).length is the number of elements in the jQuery selector - which is always going to be 1.

I use a lot javascript and html to create other pages. I do it for my personal use, so there is nothing obscure behind. I use firefox because the generated code can be saved and creates a working page. I use to create not only the html code but also javascript scripts, I have been doing this for years, and everything was perfect, but for some reason (update? Plugins? Complements?) now the contents of the script tag is replaced by this thext: /* Script removed by snapshot save */ Not only in the html document, but also if this document calls an external .js file, the file contents is replaced by the same text when saved. Any idea about the origin? Is it possible to disable this feature? (In my firefox, of course!!) Thanks in advace. Alberto.

Why not reduce all those += to a single assignment: var t = "" + "" + " + .... etc. Or if you really need granular/line-by-line string building (loop iteration, complex flow) var a = []; a.push( "<html>" ); a.push( etc ); var t = a.join(""); /* or a.join("\r") if you really want the line breaks in source */
