(2) your HTML is crap

2

what a crap, I was trying to do something very stupid huh? and had a fix so simple!

how do i make it so if i refresh my page, the drop down boxes contain the same selection

guess this kind of things comes with experience

you'll need to store the selected values somehow, then reapply them when the page loads

what data do i store from the select box

you could modify cookies, send messages to the server, or use Flash or Google Gears
the selectedIndex value

ShaunO`work: no, not (2), both

ah ok, so this does require javascript then

is there any way to debug JS in IE, or see what JS is being run? IE 6

Gah
Who actually *designed* mplayer?

designed?

'lo

yeah, it pretty much is

oh hihi Twey

Jan-: It is

they have about four different volume controls.

Jan-: But it's *good* code, and some seriously high-quality spit and Krazy Gloo too.

More if you encounter the pan and channels filters.
And none of them are interactive.

what do you mean by interactive?

well, I'm writing something that'll make it fade in sound.
So, I set volume to 0, then 1, then 2, etc.
That works fine.
The problem is you can only *set* volume once the file is loaded, so what I get at the moment is a blip of sound at full volume, then it snatches it back to 0 and does the fade in.
So, I can set -af volume=-200, which certainly mutes sound by default.

Hahaha

But the slave-mode set_volume command is a *different* volume command to the audio-filter volume command, so I can't change that in slave mode.
uBut the slave-mode set_volume command is a *different* volume command to the audio-filter volume command, so I can't change that in slave mode./u
Whoever designed this program is on CRACK COCAINE.

Heheh.

But at least they enjoyed themselves.

Jan-: You've spent so long on this now you probably could've rewritten mplayer

On the upside, if you need a feature, you just get half an hour's quality reading time with the man page.
And there *will* be an option called -veryspecificthingonlyyouandoneotherpersonintheworldeveruse.

lol

does anyone knows a script that do a search using ajax? to put it in a text input ?

to wit:

there is one in sugarcrm but it's very difficult to stole

-lavdopts
What on *earth* is a "lav-dopts?"

Toerkeium, There's one in rico and probably one in dojo too.
But I'm not sure about dojo.

I'm not so much writing it anymore as bug fixing.
This is a bug.

Rico has a demo with the yahoo search api as well.

I suspect Johnny User may have to deal with it.

what do you mean by "rico" ?

Toerkeium, You asked for a script, that the name of a toolkit containing said script.

ohh.. didn't know about it. gonna search, thank you

"-lavdopts vsimv=0:idct=0"
not only is there not a word in there, there's barely even any vowel sounds.

do you know what programming skills are needed to work with rico?
as java for dojo for example

You don't need to know java web hosting to use dojo.

ony javascript?

I suppose you could argue that it borrow some ideas though.

Jan-: the 'bug' option for that is even worse; you have to specify the flags as bits, but in decimal

You only need to know javascript to work with any javascript toolkit/library.
GWT has to go and be confusing but that isn't really a javascript toolkit in the conventional sense.

it's not; it's a Java toolkit that compiles to JS

I guess that toolkit is very different from a framework, which is what dojo and gwt are right?
*thing*

that's the T

have you tried Xajax? from php

and I don't think Dojo is a framework either
"The Dojo Toolkit", it calls itself

just heard it, probably someone using the wrong words

definitely

Dôjô actually

Twey, what does this mean:
mp_dxOverlayGeometry = '0:0';

I wanted to start working with "one", not sure yet which one to pick

Jan-: I'd guess the geometry of a DirectX overlay

how can i populate a dropdown list with data from and XML file

Jan-: But I've no idea what a DirectX overlay is.

DMjM to be exact

*probably* means "don't

Xajax seems to work pretty well, but it's only suitable for php

Yeah. I can't remember.

Dôjô, DMjM, Doujou, and Doudyou are different ways of Romanising the same word
It's easier for me to type ô than M

Jan-: it might mean offset by 0 in x and 0 in y

is usually used for ratios

all the examples i am finding are using .NET

Jan-: like the -geometry option

I think that's what it is.
Anchor the display to the top left corner.

How do i select a value in a select box using javascript

use DOM

set selectedIndex

I have tried
its just not working

are you using IE?

yes
and firefoc
firefox

You're doing something wrong then because it works
(actually, IE has trouble if the select is display='none')

how can i get the amount of children in an XML host file

Can you supply me with an example

under a node

Wow, this is frustrating
document.Form1.state.selectedIndex=3; will that work?
Well, should it work

maybe, but I wouldn't rely on it

there are better wats to do it

document.forms['Form1'].elements['state'].selectedIndex = 3; would be better

document.forms['Form1'].elements['state'].selectedIndex = 3
curse you and your fast fingers

…looks like DOM to me

ahh i figured out why it is not working
Im not using numbers for value
im using state initials
AR
NY
etc
document.forms['Form1'].elements['state'].selectedIndex = AR
that is just not working

that will not ever work

Haha well thats great news

selectedIndex is a numeral
to get the value of it you have to perform another step
objRef = document.forms['Form1'].elements['state']; objRef.options[objRef.selectedIndex].value
but you can't set them that way
with letters
if you want to change it, you will need to change it based on the order
the number

for (var i = 0; i select.options.length; i++) { if (select.options[i].value == value) { select.selectedIndex = i; break; } }

hmm, so is it possible to do this without changing my state names to numbers in my select

like that

very nice

i would have set a var to sel.options; but thats just me

haha now to just try and adapt that to wha ti have

why a select box for state abbreviations, though? http://www.useit.com/alertbox/annoyances.html

thats because people are novices

LOL

alex^_^: what's wrong with it?

are you on the pag?
im trying to do a validation on adding products to cart
when user click on "Add to Cart"
it needs to validate that user must enter more than 0 product
0 quantitiy
if not display a error message
i can't figure out how to check all of the input boxes
some products have 4 input box
some products have 1 or 2
are you with me ?

can you buy the cover without the envelope?

yes
you can buy either one

so you need to check that at least one thing has been chosen

so it has to be atlease 1 on the input boxes one of them
correct

you're using the name "orderform" more than once

One last question, is it possible to use a php variable in javascript?
=$state?

yes

PHP can generate javascript hosting code, yes

php can do everything js does but js cant do everything php host does?

Im looking for the other way around

no; php has access to server resources, javascript client resources

can I create a reference/pointer to another variable in javascript? (google isn't helping me here)

and vbscript is just pointless?

no

How do i call a php variable into JS then?

the closest is a pair of an object and the name of a property of that object

what do you mean?

var state = = js($state) ?;
from which php generates var state = "AK"; or whatever
which is then sent to the browser which executes it

i think thats backwards
i have a php variable

if you wanted some other code to change foo.bar, you could pass it foo and "bar"

i need to use it from within javascript

so you have php code output the value into javascript code
just as you have it output values into HTML code

ahh ok
echo out some javascript, gotcha

out some javascript, gotcha

haha thats was weird

how come this doesnt alert anything " alert(document.orderform.amount[16345].value); "

alex^_^: because that refers to element 16345 of document.orderform.amount

yah
but i have that on the input box

alex^_^: you should use document.forms['orderform'].elements['amount[16345]'].value

i see
so now how can i check all of them
no matter how many input boxes there

0) return true; } return false; }

function isSomethingChosen() {
var inputElements = document.forms['orderform'].getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i inputElements.length; i++) {
var input = inputElements[i];

0)

document.orderform.submit();
}
alert('Please Enter at lease one quantity');
}

"least"
and no capital E

alex^_^, use pastebin for that

alex^_^: the idea of it returning true or false is so that you can decide what to do about it outside the function

hm
how do i say if return true then submit the form?

if (somethingIsChosen()) cheer(); else boo();
one way would be to return it from the onsubmit handler
form onsubmit="return somethingIsChosen();"

i see

please don't use the submit method, since it means people without javascript may not be able to submit the form at all

oh damn
i just used that

instead use a submit button, possibly with onsubmit on the form to validate it before sending

ok let me try the other method

there are other ways to do this though; you could have the submit button disabled by script, with a message explaining why

but even if i do that
it still have a problem with the logic i think
right now even if i enter 1 quantitiy, it stills alert the error message, but it will submit the form though
that script doesnt work on firefox

in what way?

hi
guys, do arrays know their size in javascript?

a.length

thanks
still around?

yes

tell me, when should we use var when initializing variables?

when you want the variable to be local to the scope in which you're declaring it

which is always

so it's like a convention then
I see

for instance in function f() { var a; } a is local to f, distinct from any variable a outside it

ok

I'm trying to figure out how to override a CSS class definition that was defined in a style sheet using javascript
can anyone point me in the right direction. i can't seem to find appropriate objects/methods for modifying this
a quick example would be great basically trying to do Element.style.display = "none"; to any HTML element with a class attribute equal to "formatting"

elements, and pick out the ones with their class attribute set to "formatting"

.className

thanks

tag??

can anyone recommend some good javascript books?

hey… does anyone know if there is any way around the manipulation of elements within an outside domain from were the script ran?
or is that kinda on lockdown
kinda doesn't make sense that you can change features of a new window that you open through javascript but you can
't do anything else to the DOM
unless its on the same domain

it does not shows error messages either warnings
actually nothing, just a blank console

causes a ticket to submit. But how can I get the button (or more particularly: its value)

(of course, the action could be an onclick on ticket .. but I'm not convinced I want that )
onclick on the button rather

I have a DIV on my page that contains some content, I want to add a print button that will print only what is in this DIV, si that possible via JS?

div.innerHTML ?

document.form name.button name.value

no
`forms // first problem with that

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')

every button has the same 'name' .. the one that's clicked is normally the one whose value is sent when you submit. However when you capture the submit, I'm not sure there's any way to retrieve the one that was clicked

For now I'm going with an onclick on the button setting a hidden field

so basically you wanted help on a subject you were familiar on just to boast?
hmm does onClick precede the actualy form submit?
my current form has no action etc, its submitted from onClick="form.submit()"

hm

onsubmit is not called

why ?

not at all .. I was wondering if any of the other experts that lie around these parts had fought this beast before
and yes, onclick of a submit button will happen before the onsubmit
does your form have a name="submit" in it?

it doesn't
should it ?

no
I'm not certain that onsubmit() is called before a manual form.submit()
You might have to do it manually
div onclick="var frm=document.forms['some_form']; frm.onsubmit(); frm.submit()"

yes, i did this
heh
hm, one more question

formBio = document.forms['formBio'];

doesn't works but in FF it does

forms[..] is the *name* attribute, not id

ohh
so it should be form name="formBio"
thanks

yup
np

Hey guys.

HI all. I have 2 objects , an image and a div, on a page and I want to add a button to print ONLY those 2 object, is that possible via JS?

You could use css

hey

link rel="stylesheet" href="pathtofile.css" media="print"
none;

});

{ 0: { 0: 1, 1: a}, 1: { 0: 3, 1: b}, 2: { 0: 2, 1: m}, 3: { 0: 4, 1: z}}

watch

newPopUp.document.getElementById("inputTextFiel").value ="New Textentry"; firebug (firefox js debugger) says that element "has no properties", what is wrong here?

uh, if an XHR is set to synchronous, I can access its responseXML after the request is executed without needing to screw with "onComplete" type event handlers, right?
it means that it couldn't find your "inputTextFiel" element
methinks you forgot a "d"

yup, wow, thanks that will solve all my problems

well i ve written it in both places false , so this code should work..

ah

input type="text" id="inputTextFiel" name="inputTextFiel" size="30"

simple ab does not work because it return true only if greater and false when equal or lower

you're using firebug, no? so write console.dirxml(newPopUp.document.getElementById("inputTextFiel")); to make sure it's returning the element

i ve did as u said, but nothin gets returned..

Right, which means it's not finding the element for whatever reason.
Hmmm
try console.dir(newPopUp.document);
to make sure it's accessing the DOM
it might not be

newPopUp.document doesnt work either, but only newPopUp works ..

hmmm
try to remove the .document
I'm not experienced with pop-ups, heh
as in… try newPopUp.getElementById()

Guys, is there a way to check the last line of a textareas' value with an if statement aginst a word like 'help' or 'info' and then add stuff to the textareas' value depending on what you typed in.

are you constantly checking while typing?

yup, yeah, i got it now. by the way, how do you split a long line of code in js?

yes, onKeyDown

CRLF? :p

Bheam, doesn't work here

it does in browser javascript
you probably can't cut a string without "+" though

\
afaik
alert ('\
foo \
bar \
');

Hi, anyone familiar with AJAX
I am new to AJAX an I am triing to get something done with jquery
is it only possible to load XML Pages, or can I load an HTML page too?

in dom browser i see that newPopUp.document is "null" !!

Yes, it is possible. jQuery is really great!

if you check when you press the enter key to do something when you have typed into the textarea, will that add a newline char?

anyway
thx Romes

Will the Click event fire even when a link is "activated" using the keyboard (and not the mouse)?

Yes

helo friends, i am using my function GetSwfVer(), but i have to check if this function exists, then use it, can i do that? because if it doesnt exists, the is a javascript error, thank you

whoopsie D:

Array notation (as opposed to dot notation) when getting the function "happyopen" would this work with IE document['happyope' + 'n']() ?
(Irritatingly, I lack a machine to try it on.)

Hello everyone

Hey MACscr.

Im having a small issue with getting a value from a form. Very odd because my other variable being sent the exact same way, is working fine
Var outputid = document.getElementById('outputid').value;
See anything wrong with that?

window["myFunction"]();

That'd be fine and dandy, in some cases. In my case the function's called "open". So document["open"]() points to that impl of "open" while window['open']() uses that built-in function.
The casing of "var".

When the js runs, im getting the error in my console that the element has no properties, but i have no idea how that coudl be the case
sry, thats my irc client doing that

Thought so. Well, you are running Firebug, right?

yep

Then "Inspect" the HTML item you want to grab.
what kind of element is outputid?

Hidden input

give it another name or prefix it

I guess that's it, IE can't handle the document[] way?
MACscr: I would try the Firebug command-line, and do document.getElementById('outputid') and then click the resulting text.

Never tried that, thanks for the tip. I definitely dont know how to harness enough of the power of firebug yet

lol @ happyopen

nope, FF doesn't like it aswell
havn't tested in other browsers
also

awww, sorting of arrays does not work as intended in Opera.. It kinda sorts arrays, yes, but not as in IE.. http://7e14hz.googlepages.com/tmplg09sw.html

there's document.open
I'd just give it another name

hi to all!

Good enough. I'm grateful for your help.

anyone can suggest a js library to draw simple lines without using SVG?

when i am in the console of firebug and then at the bottom type in: document.getElementById('outputid'), then press enter. I get a result of null

lines for a chart?
it is case-sensitive. Try inspecting your source.

hi olleolleolle, i need to draw lines over image using mouse…

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.open

OK, are they like an annotation box?

nope..he line it's just an effect..in the background the js code will calculate the distance between those points

i had a retard moment and was searching for an ID that i didnt even have set
I had name=, but not id=

myu script already do that…but i'd like to add a line between the 2 points

Thanks for the tip

Interestingly enough, the way it's written now, it works, but that's insane. Accident waiting to happen.

if (typeof myNs == "undefined") { var myNs = {}; } myNs.open = function() { // Do stuff here }; window["myNs.open"]();
alternative ^

Hehe, I was JUST trying to name my namespace well.

if (typeof myNs == "undefined") { var myNs = { open: function() { // Do stuff here } }; } window["myNs.open"]();
better

any idea?

Is this a toy you want to run in Firefox, or does it need to run everywhere? Canvas was made for this.

better to grant more compatibility

Then Canvas is out.
I dunno, you could resort to trying to draw small colored DIVs?
I have no idea how to make that thing perform at a rate anyone would like to play with.

ok thx

use a div element, height = distance between the two points, position = point one
works only with straight lines tho

http://purevision.be/sliders/test.html
works like a charm in FF
but style isn't added in Internet Explorer
doesn't IE support setAttribute?

Onnut^WorkZ: It has some problems with setAttribute(). (Requires DOM-style capitalization) - http://www.webdevout.net/browser-support-dom#support-domcore-element

was tinking about something like that
*thinking
an alternative for IE?

ele.style.property = "value";

is there a way to remove the predefined interfaces
so that i can use the setAttribute function on every attribute

Er .. no ..

i noticed

Set the style properly rather than as a string

i'll just change the whole script

You can use setAttribute for that
oops
ssorry, no you can't
questionInput.style.width='400px';
function setStyleFromString(el, sstr){ var pairs = sstr.split(/\s*;\s*/); for(var i = 0; i pairs.length; i++){ var pair = pairs[i].split(/\s*s*/); el.style[pair[0]] = pair[1] } }

ele.setAttribute("cssText", "properties", 0); works in IE
I'd just give it an ID or class and let CSS handle the rest

^^ Good info, Good insight

same problem with setAttribute('onclick',…);
fixing with element.onclick = function() { .. } ?

YES

thought so
:p

always set the event handlers to a function NOT a string

setAttribute takes two strings
The attribute and its value
Event handlers should not be set to strings, but to functiooooooooooons
