  - Very Simple, bug?Hi All- I know no Javascript, but I write on other languages.
    Here is a line I took from other postings. But, dump() does nothing (I
    am using the console window in Firefox), and the == never evaluates
    true, always false. Any ideas - thanks in advance
    
    <img src="WebLogo.jpg" title="" alt="Web Logo"
    style="width: 130px; height: 185px;"
    onmouseover=" dump(this.src);
    if (this.src == 'WebLogo.jpg') {
    this.src = 'WebLogoNot.jpg';
    write();
    } else {
    this.src = 'WebLogo.jpg';
    nowrite();
    };"

  - Pass variable window pop up javascriptI've been looking all day for some code examples of how to pass a
    variable throught a javascript pop up window. There's nothing decent
    out there on the web...so after hours and hours of searching, I've
    finally figured out how to do complete the code for passing a variable
    to a window pop up and back.
    
    (Main window)
    
    create a window.open() function in your event, mine happens to be a
    "Find" button.
    
    <img src="images/Find1.gif" height=21
    onclick="Javascript:window.open('Test6.asp?txtManagerName='+document.getElementById('txtManagers').value,
    'wroxwindow', 'height=200, width=300, top=250, left=350, resizable=yes,
    scrollable=yes, toolbar=no');">
    
    the major problem I had was the exact syntax for passing the variable:
    
    Test6.asp?txtManagerName='+document.getElementById('txtManagers').value
    
    (you can name the value, doesn't have to be:
    document.getElementById('txtManagers').value
    could be...txtManagers, or whatever your variable being passed is.
    
    (Pop up window)
    
    Use a querystring command (vbscript)
    
    <%
    test = Request.QueryString("txtManagerName")
    Response.Write "test = " & test
    %>
    
    That's it...

    I think this too falls under 'deceptive wording'.

    I was referring to the existence of UT0, UT1, UT2 and others, rather
    than just UT. Perhaps using the word 'variations' in place of 'different
    definitions' would have been clearer.

  - How to get the exact caret position in the TextArea HTML controlHi Guys,
    Please help me, I want to get the exact caret position, in the
    TextArea HTML control.
    Even if I enter empty lines in the TextArea, I mean just press "Enter"
    Key, it should treat as 2 characters, like how Window's EDIT ( MFC
    CEdit)control has API to get the information.

  - count chars?Hey,
    
    I got following:
    [html]
    <form name="Formular" method="post" onSubmit="return chkFormular()"
    action="mail.php" enctype="text/plain">
    ...
    ...
    ...

    chars left</td>
    <td class="text"> <textarea name="comments"
    onkeyup="count(event)" rows="8" cols="40" class="flat"></textarea>
    </td>
    [/html]
    [js]
    <script language="JavaScript">
    var max = 255;
    
    document.Formular.input1.value = max;
    document.Formular.comments.focus();
    
    function count(e) {
    if (!e.which) keyCode = event.keyCode; // ie5+ op5+
    else keyCode = e.which; // nn6+
    
    if (document.Formular.comments.value.length<max+1)
    document.Formular.input1.value =
    max-document.Formular.comments.value.length;
    else {
    document.Formular.comments.value =
    document.Formular.comments.value.substring(0,max);
    document.Formular.input1.value = 0;
    }
    }
    </script>
    [/js]
    That's supposed to display how many chars are left besides the textarea,
    decreasing from 255. But it doesn't display anything, why not? Thank you
    guys!

  - Restricted markup editor for textareaI'm looking for a Javascript editor similar to the obsolete HTMLarea
    editor but which can be configured to restrict the buttons and
    allowable markup to a tiny handful of named elements on a per-instance
    basis. No font selection, or any other WYSIWYG bells or whistles. The
    objective is to *prevent* the user from adding any markup except that
    which is specified,
    
    It's for a translation editor, where each source paragraph will only
    ever contain a subset of other possibilities (elements like
    <citetitle>, <xref>, <emph>, etc), but the selection will change from
    para to para and may contain nested markup. The page is being
    generated dynamically from XML using Cocoon, so each textarea can
    easily be separately configured on-the-fly.
    
    In effect I want an HTMLarea equivalent but stripped of all WYSIWYG
    gunk except the named elements needed in each instance, plus their
    button labels and their rendering (as CSS). My JS isn't good enough to
    strip down HTMLarea to do the job.

  - Using Javascript to write out documentsI want to create my own kind of counter, for myself. I have a resume
    page on my site. I want to know how many people go there but dont want
    to 'go there' myself because I don't want to increase the hit counter
    on that page. So I want to create a html page (that I only know about)
    that hold a hit count variable. When someone goes to my resume page,
    on the OnLoad() I want to go get that variable, increment it and write
    it out. So this function in the OnLoad on my resume page has to get a
    variable from a different page, increment it, and write it back out to
    that page it go it from in the first page.
    
    Can this be done?

  - How do I test for HTMLImageElement in IE?Hello,
    
    I have the following code that test the target element of a mouse
    movement to check if its and Image and the Parent is a Div element. It
    works perfect in Fire Fox, however IE does not allow access to test the
    target against instance of HTMLImageElement or the Div Element.
    
    Is there a property that I can use to get the object type that will
    return "image" or "div" or anthing else that I can use. The typeof
    function only returns "object" which is totally useless in my
    application.
    
    DragObject.prototype.mouseMove = function(ev){
    ev = ev || window.event;
    var target = ev.target || ev.srcElement;
    var dragObj = target.getAttribute('DragObj');
    
    if ( target instanceof HTMLImageElement && target.parentNode
    instanceof HTMLDivElement){
    target = target.parentNode;
    dragObj = target.getAttribute('DragObj');
    }

  - dynamic coding.Hello,
    
    I've coded a tab pages somes years ago, with a search engine (with the help
    of an other programmer) allowing to search in many divs (any tab show/hide a
    div).
    
    Now, I've to change code as new tabs are added. I've a frame where I load
    the tabs and fill div with queries, and an other frame where I have the
    search form. I'm looking for a way to have dynamic creation of the code,
    depending on the loaded divs or tabs.
    
    Here is the javascript code allowing to switch DIV for finding any string in
    many DIVS, then show the desired DIV.
    ...
    var oRng1 = win.document.body.createTextRange();
    var oRng2 = oRng1.duplicate();
    var oRng3 = oRng1.duplicate();
    ...
    oRng1.moveToElementText(win.DIVBrother);
    oRng2.moveToElementText(win.DIVCanon);
    oRng3.moveToElementText(win.DIVEpson);
    ...
    if(win.DIVBrother.style.visibility=='visible') var bInside =
    oRng1.inRange(TRange);
    if(win.DIVCanon.style.visibility=='visible') var bInside =
    oRng2.inRange(TRange);
    if(win.DIVEpson.style.visibility=='visible') var bInside =
    oRng3.inRange(TRange);
    ...
    if(win.DIVBrother.style.visibility=='visible') {
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVBrother);
    strFound=TRange.findText(str);
    TRange.select();
    }
    if(win.DIVCanon.style.visibility=='visible') {
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVCanon);
    strFound=TRange.findText(str);
    TRange.select();
    }
    if(win.DIVEpson.style.visibility=='visible') {
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVEpson);
    strFound=TRange.findText(str);
    TRange.select();
    }
    ...
    TRange=win.document.body.createTextRange();
    if(win.DIVBrother.style.visibility=='visible')
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVBrother);
    if(win.DIVCanon.style.visibility=='visible')
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVCanon);
    if(win.DIVEpson.style.visibility=='visible')
    TRange.moveToElementText(win.DIVEpson);
    
    if(oRng1.inRange(TRange)) {win.tab0.focus(); win.tab0.click();}
    if(oRng2.inRange(TRange)) {win.tab1.focus(); win.tab1.click();}
    if(oRng3.inRange(TRange)) {win.tab2.focus(); win.tab2.click();}
    
    For now I've 9 tabs, but the customer want to add 3 more, and maybe once
    will want to add some new. I'd like to be able to manage this kind of code
    dynamically, but don't know how to do.
    
    Anybody may help me change the code above to do it dynamically managing that
    the tabs and DIVs come from an access database ? maybe with an array or
    whatever.
    
    Thanks.

  - how to create an Array with parametrized name?hello everybody,
    
    is there a way of creating an array with help of a function that would
    accept the name of this array as a parameter and then create global

    so that for example the following code would work as well in browsers as
    under Windows Scripting Host:
    
    str = "tableA";
    
    fDoArray(str);
    fDoArray("tableB");
    
    tableA[10] = 10;

javascript, Error: missing } in XML expression Hi.

I get this error message on my Firefox Error Console:
----------------
Error: missing } in XML expression
Source File: http://www.foo.com/js/maps.js
Line: 273, Column: 18
Source Code:
options2 = { title: "John was here", icon: icon1};
-----------------

The JavaScript code (I use Google Maps):
----
coords2 = new GLatLng(34.3155495, -140.013553246338);
options2 = { title: "John was here", icon: icon1};
marker2 = new GMarker(coords2, options2);
-----------

My JavaScript file's got "Content-Type: application/x-javascript"
headers and it uses Ajax.

It's the first time I get this error. Does anybody have any experience
with it?

Thank you very much.

Can you show us more context, in particular more lines before the line
273? Or post the real URL.
Firefox supports E4X (ECMAScript for XML) and somehow the error message
sounds as if your code is interpreted as an XML literal.

    Thus the location of the image is contained in the variable url. How

    This of course didnt work. I have tried a lot of alternatives, putting

  - Firefox forgets onmouseout eventHi there,
    
    I am writing a page showing thumbnail images: Whenever the user hoovers
    the mouse over an image, after some delay it should be replaced with the
    full image displayed in different (bigger) size. The thumbnail should be
    displayed again as soon as the mouse leaves the image area.
    
    Right, all you need is onmouseover, onmouseout and setTimeout(). Set the
    image to absolute positioning to take it out of the normal page flow.
    Then have it resized and repositioned as you like.
    
    Sounds easy, so here is the testpage:
    
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=163278
    
    From the fact that the page is hosted on bugzilla, you can conclude
    that it works on Internet Explorer but not on Firefox. :-/
    
    Try for yourself:
    - "Fullscreen" your browser window.
    - Open the page
    - Move the mouse over the little icon at the bottem left corner
    - Wait a few seconds
    - If the page reflows, increase the browser window size or decrease font
    size (sorry, there's just too much text on the page), reload and try again.
    - Move the mouse off the icon.
    - Check the Text in the debug log (last message is top). It sould tell
    you that "mouseOver" and "mouseOut" have occured. But the latter is missing.
    
    Im seeking help (confirmation, workarounds, suggestions,...) on this
    bug# 265051
    
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265051
    
    Comment on bugzilla are welcome, too.

    If I change it to

    If my url is, say,
    http://mysite/mypage.asp?fruit=apples&veg=cabbages&sweet=cake, then how do I

  - How can I be notified when the document load is complet in JavaScriptHi,
    
    How can I be notified when the document load is complet in JavaScript?
    I am referring to the whold document load is complete, mean all
    images/external files/frame/iframes have been loaded.
    
    I think there is a window.addEventListener() function but I am not sure
    which event to listen to.
    
    Thank you.

  - DML and xmlhttpI wonder if someone wrote some code to manipulate data (insert, update,
    delete) using xmlhttp and AJAX approach and standardized some procedures.
    
    I mean, for example, standard way to manipulate data with PHP or
    VBScript (most common) are a form with a action page that process POST
    or GET and so on...
    
    It is cool to do this all via xmlhttp.
    
    I developed some code but nothing standard...I was thinking about
    object-oriented approach...
    
    Any contribute appreciated.
    
    Best regards.

  - Safari read/write cookies with javascript?I am using a standard javascript that I downloaded from
    javascriptsource.com to read from and fill in a form using cookies.
    The page tests well in every browser except Apple's Safari (from
    10.3.2)
    
    Unfortunately, my clients daughter uses Safari so I have to get it to
    work with it, even though most of his clients use IE.
    
    What do I need to do to change the code so this will all work in
    Safari?
    
    The test pages can be seen at
    http://www.mvldesign.com/form_cookie.html
    
    When I run these pages on IE and look in the cookies I can see that
    the cookie has been written as expected. Plus the form fills in on the
    next page. In Safari I see that the cookie has not been written plus
    the form doesn't fill in which is the whole reason for the code.
    
    If there are any other sources of code that I can use with all
    browsers including Safari I'd love to hear about them. Or any other
    tutorials or ideas.
    
    Thanks

  - Iterating comboboxes (<SELECT>) using javascriptG'day all
    
    I apologise in advance for the newbiness of this question, but the
    answer has eluded me for 3 days now - hopefully one of you gurus out
    there might be able to help .......
    
    I have a page that dynamically draws checkboxes with a combo. I'm then
    attempting to use the following code to iterate through each combo box
    and change the value to match the text box.
    
    Here's the code that calls the functions, and the
    functions themselves......
    
    **Code that fires the event
    <input class="ctlstandard" type="text" name="txtSeats" id="txtSeats"
    onblur="setOptionCombos);"/> <font color="<
    %=session("BrandTextColour")%>">*</font></td>
    
    **The function
    
    function setOptionCombos(){
    var lSeats=frmMain.txtSeats.value;
    if(isNaN(lSeats)){
    for (i=0;i<frmMain.cboTourOptionQty.length;i++){
    frmMain.cboTourOptionQty[i].selectedIndex=lSeats-1;
    }
    }
    }
    
    This works if there are two combos on the screen, but does not when
    there's only one. It seems the event doesn't, although all get changed
    quite happily when there's 2 or more.
    
    If there are 2 combos, the expression
    frmMain.cboTourOptionQty.length=2
    
    If there's only 1 combo, the expression
    frmMain.cboTourOptionQty.length=100 (the number of options in the
    list)
    
    Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)
    
    Cheers,
    
    Doug.
