Javascript include (for archive)

steveb_ni — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:21:31 GMT

Hi all (first post here!)

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I've been trying to work on for a while now... basically the announcements panel is to show only the top five announcements (i.e. the 5 most recent announcements) and retain the rest of them in an archive.

The code for the div in question is:

Code:





    Announcements

This prints out the latest 5 announcements. However, I would like to have a button which calls the almost identical script, with the subtle change of scripts length (shown in bold):

document.write("");
scripts=scripts.reverse();
for (i=0;i;i++)
{

document.write(scripts[i] + "
");
document.write(" ");
document.write("

");
}

This would hopefully display every annoucement.

Is there any way I can automatically display the first 5, then when the button is clicked the scripts.length function is executed instead?

Thanks for any help!

Getting js to apply css important to a value

soon — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:45:59 GMT

Dear friends

I have a script that puts a different css color and background image onto a menu for the link that has been clicked to open an iframe. This works fine, but because elements of the menu have to already have fixed css !important specifications, the javascript css modification is not 'as strong' as that.

The relevant part of the script is

Code:

for(var i = 0; i < as.length; i++) { as[i].style.color = 'white'; //default text color as[i].style.background = '#2175BC'; //default backgroundcolor if(as[i].href.toLowerCase() == pagename.toLowerCase()) { as[i].style.background = 'url(http://www.internetevangelismday.com/images/arrowlargeyellow.gif) no-repeat left blue'; //desired highlight bg colour second level menu }

The value I would like to apply !important strength to is the background image item. Adding !important to the line itself does not work. It might carry a bit more strength too if the background color blue was separated from the background image. Can you see any way to do this?

Best wishes and thanks

Lightbox Photo Gallery - help!

littlemoomin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:12:44 GMT

Hello, I'm new here ^-^ Complete and utter Javascript noob. I mean I've used it for rollovers in the past and that's practically it. Anyway, can someone please help me with setting up my photo gallery?! I basically need step-by-step instructions(!) Have followed instructions for http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ colorbox and pretty photo and can't get them working.

I gather you have to first download jquery which i have done and put that in my main folder and linked to. I have then pasted the script in my header and changed the links to match to their correct locations and done the rel="blah" in my links. I'm obviously missing something as my images keep opening on a new page rather than in the lightbox at all.

Any help massively appreciated!

How to fetch the exact height attribute of html divs in IE?

greenerworld007 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:01:01 GMT

Hi,

I want to get the dynamic heights of some html divs. I am not programmatically applying height to them (so I don't know their values). If I fetch the height in mozilla I am able to fetch the exact value in px but in case of IE it gives "auto". How do I get their exact values? Please help

jQuery script 'works' but its very cowboy - how can i make it better?

TWD — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:03:46 GMT

Code:

//gets all image links with ref to the "product_images" directory $j("a[href*='product_images/']").each(function() { //gets the existing href attribute var linkhref = $j(this).attr("href"); //writes the new link reference to the anchor link element $j(this).attr("href", linkhref.replace(".png", "a.png")); newfile = $j(this).attr("href").split('/').pop(); $j(this).attr("href", ("http://www.mywebsite/wp-content/uploads/" + newfile)); });//ends "each" function

I am using $j to call jQuery in no-conflict mode.

Basically I want to just rename some links to a different directory.

I am sure there are much cleaner ways to write this.

For a start, it assumes that the files will always be in .PNG format. But if someone uses a GIF the script breaks.
How to fix that?

Second, is there a more portable way of renaming the new path rather than manually typing the complete path as I have done here?

Following a tutorial for a gallery but something isnt working....

Rachelsne — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:36:16 GMT

I downloaded Jon designs javascript smooth gallery-which I found a link to while searching for gallery for my website... I have gone over and over what I am doing, but I cant get it to work as a gallery, I have no idea what I am doing wrong and its probably something simple and staring me in the face. I have very limited knowledge....

What I have done:
I unzipped the files and then uploaded them to my Cpanel
In My .css file I added

Code:

#myGallery { width: 490px !important; height: 327px !important; } useThumbGenerator: true

The rest I put in my HTML page, I only added two pictures to see how it worked... Its uploaded to my blog part of the site, which I am using for testing... http://rachelclarephotography.com/blog.html So anyone who can explain in simple terms where I am going wrong would be appreciated!!!

Help to send js generated text into a textarea

EUDIS — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:53:20 GMT

Hello all

I have implemented a free javascript for client-side shopping cart into my site and works great. Only, at the very end of my work i realize there is no possible way to email the cart items to me! The reason is because the script is originally written to checkout to PayPal so i guess either i have to recode something, or i gotta use some trick.

You can see the code at http://lukulos.gr/simpleCart.js
This is only because the forum does not allow long threads.

What i have to do to output the cart's content is use a div or span, like:

What script do I need or how do I do this. THANKS

Convert data to a javascript array

ruffy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:41:29 GMT

An old file of mine has data in it.
It's an old file, from which I want to extract
values to use for a javascript array variable.

The old file's data looks like this:

$elem[0][0] = 0;
$elem[0][1] = 1;
$elem[0][2] = 1;
$elem[0][3] = "John likes fishing on Sundays";
$elem[0][4] = 7;

$elem[1][0] = 6;
$elem[1][1] = 1;
$elem[1][2] = 3;
$elem[1][3] = "Be careful of porcupines";
$elem[1][4] = 12;
....

I'd like to turn it into this:

var newArray =
[
$elem[0] = [0, 1, 1, "Jack climbed the beanstock", 7] ;
$elem[1] = [6, 1, 3, "Be careful of porcupines", 12] ;
...

Easiest script ever needed

fritzguye — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:03:17 GMT

I recently added an awesome javascript to my site that ensures all of my divs are exactly the same height.

The problem is that one of the divs needs to be offset by 175px.
This div is extending in unison with the other columns, however, it is always exactly 175px short.

Can I run a second javascript telling my navigation div to extend yet another 175px after the first script is run so that they are all even?

I am fairly new to web design. I am assuming I might have to add a unique class to my navigation div, and then create a script saying "dude, add another 175px height ok thanks"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Prevent images from being pulled off your site?

World — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:28:45 GMT

Even though my images are now displayed by Javascript, you can still pull them easily on your desktop.

This website of a photographer in Chicago (I'm in Los Angeles) also uses Javascript, but his images are protected from being pulled off the page.

You can't even highlight and copy text.

How do you do that? I suppose it has something to do with Javascript.

As I'm a photographer who wants to protect his work as good as possible (it's registered with the library of congress, but, anyway) I'd be grateful if you could tell me how to do this.

onChange - keeping cursor in field if false

dmZiggy — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:29:21 GMT

All,

I have a questions with onChange with some dummy code below:

function checkVal(lcInput) {
if(lcInput.value!="") { var lcValueHold = lcInput.value; alert("You're invalid"); lcInput.focus(); lcInput.value=lcValueHold; lcInput.select(); return false; }
}

where used:

my goal: if invalid text (right now it's just any text in the field is invalid), I want to keep the cursor inside the field with the text highlighted.

It works really nice in all browsers with the RETURN key, but not the TAB. The script runs with the alert, and the text selected, but the cursor goes to the next field.

I don't want it to go to the next field but stay inside the field if the text is invalid. I can't use onblur.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Order of scripts in the head tag

superdan_35 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:56:22 GMT

Hi all.

On my site I had a fully working lightbox that called various scripts in the headtag, one of which is the prototype script. I have now added a new script to the homepage called easySlider1.7 which requires jquery.

Since this addition only one script will work at a time depending on which is called first, prototype first means lightbox works, and jquery means easyslider works.

Any ideas on a work around or why this might be happening.

Thanks,
Dan

$(document).ready(function() { $("#contact").submit(function() { //remove all the class add the messagebox classes and start fading $("#msgbox").removeClass().addClass('messagebox').text('Submitting').fadeIn(1000); //check the username exists or not from ajax $.post("template/ajax_contact.php",{ name:$('#name'),email:$('#email'),number:$('#number'),comments:$('#comments'),sample:$('#sample') } ,function(data) { if(data=='passed') //if correct login detail { $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() //start fading the messagebox { //add message and change the class of the box and start fading $(this).html('Logging In').addClass('messageboxok').fadeTo(900,1, function() { //redirect to secure page document.location='success.php'; }); }); } if(data=='spam') //if correct login detail { $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() { $(this).html('We believe you are not a person').addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1); }); } if(data=='error') //if correct login detail { $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() { $(this).html('We believe you are not a person').addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1); }); } else { $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() //start fading the messagebox { //add message and change the class of the box and start fading $(this).html(data).addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1); }); } }); return false; //not to post the form physically }); //now call the ajax also focus move from $("#password").blur(function() { $("#contact").trigger('submit'); }); });

Can anyone help straighten this out? Also do you need the form and php code behind this?

jQuery at The Strange Loop

willcode4beer — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:48:44 GMT

Last week I attended the Strange Loop developer conference.

They had a fairly short presentation of jQuery.

Anyway, I thought I'd link to the slides if anyone is interested (PDF warning).

edit: the video of the presentation should be available soon. I'll re-edit this post when it is.

Advanced Current Marking in menu is not working for one folder

llama_sf — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:21:27 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to bold the left-nav titles of sub-pages contained within folders for this test site, however anything in the awards_grad_honors folder is being incorrectly marked as "Honors" instead of "Awards & Graduation Honors."

2 example pages:
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/undergr...rs/Awards.html

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/undergr...eansAward.html

There is an ampersand in the name, but none of the other menu items with ampersands are affected.

Any clues as to why this one folder doesn't cooperate would be most greatly appreciated!

jquery ui modal dialog + bgiframe plug-in causing select-lists to hide

seannarae — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:09:27 GMT

TEST PAGE:
http://bit.ly/1NOQ03

ISSUE SUMMARY:
Page uses the model dialog code from JQUERY UI.
Was having the IE6 Z-Index issue with IE6
Applied the BGIFRAME plugin solution (bgiframe: true)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION:
When the modal dialog is triggered, any/all select-lists previously displayed are suddenly hidden.

BROWSERS TESTED:
FF2.x, FF3.x and IE8 behave no issue. Only manifests this way in IE6.

REQUEST:
How can i improve my code such that the select-lists dont get hidden when the modal dialog is displayed?

I have posted the same support request to the jQuery Project Page for this plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/node/11026

Thanks,
seannarae

Reading and writting into local files.

Neelineel — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:29:54 GMT

Hi everyone!

I have this standalone desktop application that reads/write into files in the hard disk. Now, i wish to access these files from the browser using javascript since the application runs on the client machine.
I wanted to know if it is possible to access i.e read/write into local files from the browser on the client side.
I've heard that ActiveX makes this possible but i can only use it with IE and not with any other browser.
I wanted to know if there was any other way of doing the same.

Thanks
Neelima

Remove content of a div?

NorNerd — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:26:31 GMT

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project that needs me to be able to remove content in a div without clicking it.

I know that input's can be handled with the onFocus, but seems like div cant handle onFocus, so what do i do?

Anyone have a small code to solve my problem, or a link to get me on the way?

OnHover with an OS script

Flying Monkeys — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:48:45 GMT

So, I'm working on this project and I used an Open Source script to display the gallery but it won't display the way the client wants it.

The client is happy with the display currently, except instead of 'on click' they want the images to show up 'on hover'.

Here is one example (edit: removed link, issue is resolved) of 1 of the 7 galleries I did for them. If you could help, that would be great.

How do I change the code to make it 'on hover' instead of 'on click'?
