[Javascript] RE: Javascript digest, Vol 1 #135 - 11 msgs

Hello,

When I make a layer visible on top of a form element, the form element
shows through.  Is there a browser-independent way of curing that one?

Thanks.

Jay

Subject: [Javascript] Email validation question
Reply-To: javascript at LaTech.edu

I'm having trouble finding the answer I need in my JavaScript books
regarding client-side JavaScript validation.

Typical email validation routines include:

if (document.form.formfield.value.indexOf("@") == -1)

However I need to make sure that a user doesn't enter 2 or more email
addresses in the form field and this only tests to see if there are no @
characters. How do I code it to test for 0 and 2 or more?

Thanks

Try a regular expression search for multiple occurrences of "@".

var pattern = new RegExp("/@{2,}/"); 
var fieldValue = "john at aol.com, kim at aol.com";
var result = fieldValue.match(pattern);
if (result != null) {
	//multiple @s found
}

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1800;URL=thepage.html">

refreshes to thepage.html after 1800 seconds.

Hi,
   I have a problem along this line as well. I have a page that allows
users
to update a field in a database. When the field has been updated the
user is
sent back using the history.back(); function. When they are sent back i
want
a hidden form to submit so it will refresh the page, with the updated
information. I wanted to use the history.next property to check if the
user
came from the update page but it seems IE does not support this. Is
there
anyway to check what page the user came from to see whether the info has
to
be updated?

Andrew

Instead of history.back()
why don't you redirect them and append a querystring to
the page. In asp I'd do it like this

' do database stuff
response.redirect "first.asp?done=yes"

then on the original page first.asp

if request.querystring("done")="yes" then
 ' populate page with new data
end if

I think it's easier to submit the form to the same page, where a script 
first stores the input in the database and then prints the HTML page, 
including the new info. This way you don't have these complex refresh 
problems.

In fake syntax:

<server side script>
if (form submitted)
{
store value in databse
}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>etc.";
print "<FORM METHOD=POST>"; // no ACTION, submits to itself
print "<INPUT VALUE="<% get from database %>">";
</server side script>

If the user doesn't submit the form (if he enters the page through a
normal 
link) he sees the old value, if he submits the form he sees the new
value.

Thanks. But, something has changed in my application design. I need to 
reload the page automatically as well as submiting some informartion to
the 
database back end.

So, what I really want is to be able to automatically submit every 30 
minutes, for example. How do I do that?

MY first thought was to put the argument / query string in the URL, but
I 
wonder if that's the only way, because I don't really want to
necessarily 
display all my query string.

Thanks a lot.

Or a script that's called onLoad

function submitIt()
{
setTimeout('document.forms[0].submit()',1800000)
}

(time in milliseconds)

"reload the page automatically"...like refresh? A meta tag should take
care
of this.

Subject: [Javascript] Know which video to play
Reply-To: javascript at LaTech.edu

I have a HTML, functions as a menu, with multiple video links. 
Instead of creating multiple HTMLs to house each individual video, 
I'd like to have just 1 HTML that knows what the user has clicked. 
Based on what's clicked, embed the right video (WMV) in another page 
with video interface.

Please give me a pointer for link to sample javascript that can 
achieve this!!

Thanks a lot for the help,


Liu
