handleEvent]" nsresult: "0×8057001c (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_JS_OBJECT)" location: "unknown" data: no]"….can anyone tell me why this might be happening?

Hello my name is Dr. Greenthuuumb

try asking in #prototype

I did
I figured I might be able to get pointed in the right direction at least here

I can't help, others?

#prototype is sleepy right now, lol

the event threw an exception of type object

location says unknown

I think I just figured out where it is…

got it

when i put a div wrapper with a z-index on top of content, how can i make it where they can't click on any of the stuff underneath it.

oO

what stuff?

the website

you can disable links
but people know how to turn off javascript
since the fox has become man's best friend

is there a way to get a nodeList of all radio buttons from a form (it sounds reasonable since all of them have the same name

yea

how?

getElementsByTagName

hmm
doesn't seem to be working. that works for XML but not sure if it can extract input from form ?

for (i=0;idocument.forms[0].radios.length;i++) { … }

ah i figured it out
you have to use an image overlay

you access each one like this: document.forms[0].radios[i].checked

what if i have two groups of radio buttons (not with same name).. just do an if underneath the for, no neater way?

or like this: document.forms[0].radios[i].value

value and checked aren't the same..

I know, lol
I was just showing you how to access attributes

can i do var radios = document.forms[0].radios; ?

sure

great
ty

np
wait a minute

what's up?

quirksmode says radios can be the name of a group of radios

sorry?

seems to be logic

let me give you the link

can anyone point me in the right direction to have a long webpage autoscroll up and down???

http://www.quirksmode.org/js/forms.html

if you want to creat radio groups you have to give them all the same name ..

last section

this does not return a value at all document.forms[0].radios.length
and yes, there is only one form on the page

that's why I was talking about the group name
use it instead of radios, for example…

is it possible to access forward, backward history without JS enabled?

yes, you click the back button

i'm not following you
group name?

DDustin

oh i see forms[0].groupName… yes

but is it possible to make a hyperlink to access this?

how do i get a zero value from a string that isn't a number - i don't want NaN

a zero value?

parseInt("test") || 0

0

funny… forms.formName.groupName doesn't work in IE..
on one hand.. .on the other var opts = document.getElementById("pollForm").answer; also doesn't work (so in other words it won't work by groupName
same goes for var opts = document.forms[0].answer; in IE

parseInt("")

NaN

parseInt("a")

NaN

`js forms

Accessing form elements via JavaScript: Don't use document.forms[index].elementName or document.formName.elementName. Use document.forms['formName'].elements['elementName'] or document.getElementById('formID').elements['elementName'] or document.getElementById('elementID')

jsBot could be a little less confusing with a url to a more descriptive wiki

no *you* would be less confusing with a url to a more descriptive wiki

harsh

what do you need to know that's not there?

"why" might be nice
i don't care, but someone using forbidden form 1 & 2 might not see much difference between what they have and acceptable forms 1-3

"because you asked" would generally be applicable

ok - nm

getElementsByTagName works for XML — but how do you do the same with HTML tags in the dom ?

it's the same in HTML DOM

but it's not working…

:/

pastebin some code in that case

http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/Articles/a-m/monkeys.htm

for example:
var opts = document.pollForm.answer; — works
var opts = document.pollForm.getElementsByTagName("answer"); — doesn't work

document.forms[index[.elementName get a monkey beaten
especially with the typo (dumbass)

but the problem is the first line works only in FF so I need to get this function working.

skr1 - "answer" isn't a tagname

"answer" is a group of radio buttons with the same name
var inp = document.createElement("input");
inp.type = "radio";
inp.name = "answer";

paste*bin*

ohhh i see now
but - i don't want to get all INPUT either.. only radios from this form

document.forms["pollForm"].elements["answer"]

insin still not working in IE

skr1 - what's the url?
"not working" is kinda vague

var opts = document.forms["pollForm"].elements["answer"];
opts.length // length is null or not an object
again, this is all in IE - FF works fiine
var opts = document.forms["pollForm"].elements["answer"];
alert(opts); // undefined

tell me, when doing AJAX is it mandatory that the server send headers?

skr1 - have you consulted any kind of spec or googled anything or used a debugger with a watch window

How would I redefine a CSS class using javascript?

Jimicon - why would you do that?

I've been trying to google all along, reading now on msdn intro to forms since nothing of what seems logical works.. as far as debugging, i'm kind of new to JS.. what would you recommend?

given that "AJAX" is just a HTTP request, so yes
s/so//

Jimicon

thanks

element.className = "blah"

No Nex, redefine the class itself.
I have an image container.. it has several ways of displaying an image, and a class for each. The images it contains can be of any size, so I need to redefine width and height
Actually.. never mind, I'll just use another div inside it.

How can I load a different javascript depending on the value of a form selection?
onchange=psuedo-code( load relevant .js file)

will try installing IE 7 to see if this has been resolved

are you doing it in AJAX or is the page being refreshed?

grabbing Javascript as XML, zuh?

I guess I would know if I was using AJAX, eh?

?

My .js is being generated by a perl CGI script

margin: 0 in your CSS

insin oh thanks!

i'm having a problem where when I put an alert() before a function call, everything works as it's supposed to after a div is refreshed, but if the alert() is not there, my Droppables function call does nothing. Any ideas?
http://rafb.net/p/l0lJoG66.html

when is this function being called?

http://www.onmylist.com/category/tech/Top_Six_Best_Sites_for_Windows_Skinning_1
^ neat article

…

its being called on page load, and then after I drag/drop something on it, since the droppable area is being refreshed.
the page load is fine at all times, its after the div has been refreshed that I run into this alert() problem

Is using the ternary operator frowned upon much in JS?

depends how you want your code to look, that's more of a preference thing
