Hi,
I use the following code in the 'head' to inlcude some functions:
<script language="JAVAscript" type="text/JAVAscript"
src="JAVAscript/toolbox.js">
</script>

and in the body I start one of those functions like this:
<body onload="changefoto();">

But this doesn't work. When I put the code directly in my html page it
works just fine.

Who can help me?

Thanks in advance

OKay so im new to JAVAscript Cookies....

I am able to set and return cookie values but I know want to create
an
if statement!One of my cookies is called "color" and I wish to write a script that
displays a certain graphic if "Color" equals "White" for example.The code I have so far is...
<script type="text/JAVAscript">
color=getCookie('color')
if (color="White")
{
alert('Color = '+color+'!')}</script>

The alert appears when the page loads but ignores the IF statement so
just displays the value of "color" regardless of wether its value is
"White".Im stuck and google searching is getting me knowhere, can this be
done?Your help is greaty appreciated! read more about if cookie = ""

Hi,

I have got a simple bit of code that successfully injects a JAVAscript alert
into the DOM (confirmed by View Generated Source in Firefox), yet that alert
isn't executed.

QUESTION: Why does not it execute?

I couldn't get any advice in c.l.JAVAscript.

The following HTML code has a form with a submit and a select with a
single option. Both the submit and the option have an onclick action
that pops up an alert.

Both actions work with Mozilla but only the submit action works with IE7.

I'm writing the attached script as an academic exercise. The script
is supposed to accept 5 numbers from a user, then tell that user how
many negative numbers they entered, how many positive numbers they
entered, and how many zeros they entered. This is an entry-level
class so I'm sure it could be written more efficiently than I have done.
Still, as it's written, it runs, but I get "NaN"s in place of numbers
in my output. Can anyone tell me why? I included the lines:
sn = parseInt( sumNeg );
sp = parseInt( sumPos );
sz = parseInt( sumZero );

I have several FCKEditor panels on the same ASP.NET 1.1 page. I am
using the onblur and onfocus events of FCKEditor to collapse and
expand the toolbar when the user places the cursor in or out of the
editor panel. This is working great. However, since the toolbar is
expanded, I'd also like to be able to expand the height of the current
FCKEditor panel onfocus and then reduce the height again when leaving
the Editor panel and collapsing the toolbar again. I have tried
several variations of the code below to no avail. Has anybody had a
similar experience and come up with a solution?

<script type="text/JAVAscript">

function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance )
{
editorInstance.Events.AttachEvent( 'OnBlur' , FCKeditor_OnBlur ) ;
editorInstance.Events.AttachEvent( 'OnFocus', FCKeditor_OnFocus ) ;
}

function FCKeditor_OnBlur( editorInstance )
{
editorInstance.ToolbarSet.Collapse() ;
editorInstance.Height = 200 ;
}

function FCKeditor_OnFocus( editorInstance )

I'd like to know if there is a way to display a progressbar while
loading a page.
(We developped our application in Caché (intersystems), some functions need
some time to
calculate&display data, in the mean time I do not want users to stare at an
internet explorer in whitch nothing happens, I want them to see that
something is happening and even better, the status of loading.)

I saw on the internet that JAVAscript won't work because it has no insight
to the bytes
received. (But ok, I can do without that information.)
I have tried to use an animated gif, (same gif you see when starting windows
for example), or just the text: "please wait...", but then the problem is
that although I can hide and show it through JAVAscript, it won't be shown
before the page is completely loaded. In a script I show the text: please
wait. In the body I use the onload-event to hide the text but that wont work
because the script won't be executed before the onload event is triggered.

I can not find a way to trigger an onbeforeload-event. (For the script that
displays Please wait)

Any ideas?

I'm building an auto-suggest drop-down for text fields. It is coming
along, but there is one major problem: the history dropdown which
firefox insists on displaying, is blocking the menu I am building!
This only happens on fields that have a history of items.

I cannot find a way to disable this "feature". Does anyone know? I'm
guessing IE does the same thing. I tried turning off autocomplete, but
apparently that is something different; it fills forms for you based
on your user info. This is specific to certain fields.

In case you are still not following me, if I typed "bob" and "joe" and
"betty" in a form field in the past, firefox shows those to me in a
drop-down when I start to type or hit the down-arrow.

Actually, I'd love to find a way to tap into this and use it
myself. If I could customize what is in the drop-down, that'd work
great. If not, disabling it'll have to do. read more about firefox drop-down is blocking MY drop-down!

While I have read a few messages and articles by M$ MVPs about how M$ is
planning a transition away from VBA and towards Applescript, I have
noted that nothing on Mac BU confirms that Applescript is even certain
to be supported in Office 2008.

Also, it'd be interesting to know whether:

1. Developers will be able to embed Applescript into their Workbooks
and Word documents.
2. GUI Project for editing Applescript will be provided like what's
currently provided for VBA.
3. WorkSheet controls such as dropdowns and buttons will be able to
call AppleScript.
4. Whether there will be an AppleScript recorder
5. Whether one of the PowerShell languages will bundled with Office.
As it is now the only way to build a complex Excel document from
scratch with Applescript is to do it using MacPerl::Applescript.

If any has details let us know. Mac BU does not support questions
directed to its bloggers.

Now that Apple computers can run Windows Office via Parallels the
following?

1. What is the point of supporting Entourage? Outlook Express has a
web front end and users generally are either using Web based mail or
Apple Mail?

2. What is the point of providing an Applescript development
environment when it appears that few Apple developers take advantage
of it? (M$ only has itself to blame because all stories MVPs write
about Applescript leave out details about how to communicate to other
Mac languages such as Perl, Python, JAVA, or JPython.)

I am trying to resolve a coding problem with a JAVAscript that
I am trying to use.

What I am trying to do is use a form, take a single value from
that form, write it to a text file (by executing a .cgi script), and
make a popup window (with a success (or failure) message and a button
to close that popup window) with a defined height and width and no
toolbar.

Here is an example of the script and form that I am using: <SCRIPT>
<!--
function definition(term,termname)
{
window.open(term,termname,"height=400,width=400,toolbar=no");
}
// -->

</SCRIPT>

<form action="#"
onSubmit="definition('http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/text.cgi','Text
Entry'); return true;" METHOD="POST">

<big>Please enter your text: </big>
<input type="text" name="textentry" size="6"><br><br>
<center><input type=submit value="Submit to Text Log"></center>
</form> When I put something in the text box and press the 'Submit to
Site Visitor Log' button, I get the failure message every time and the
text value isn't written into the text file.

I suspect the problem is the way I'm coding the 'form action'
statement. But I can not figure out just what is wrong.

I know that the .cgi script is working just fine because I use
it from another form that does not use the JAVAscript. With this read more about Form Problem

Bonjour,
Je suis entrain de faire un site que j'essaie de tester avec différentes

Voici un exemple qui fonctionne sous toutes les versions de Internet

<div id='animation' style='position:absolute;left:50;top:30;z-index:2'><img
src=....>
</div>

1) Récup sous IE: monobjet=document.all.animation.style;
Je peux ensuite faire varier monobjet.left et monobjet.top à volonté !

2) Sous les versions récentes de Netscape je récupère monobjet de la façon
suivante:
monobjet=document.getElementById('animation').style;
et ensuite je fais encore varier monobjet.left et monobjet.top à volonté

3) la récupération de type 2) sous Netscape 4.7 n'étant pas encore
implémentée la doc dit d'utiliser:
monobjet=document.layers['animation'];
et ensuite comme précédemment: monobjet.left et monobjet.top c'est ce que je
fais,

malheureusement ça ne marche pas !

fades through a few pictures. I used to have a small JAVA script that you
could place anywhere on the page and could be formatted using css, but alas
two hours of searching my old backups have revealed nothing.
Can someone point me in the right direction to where I can find the
script/applet that will fill my needs, or even post the script to the forum?

If someone could tell me where I'm going wrong with the code below,
I'd greatly appreciate it. (Sorry for the cross-post on
comp.lang.JAVAscript, but nobody responded there).

I can toggle the visibility of 1 object at a time in IE and Firefox,
but can not do it on multiple objects simultaneously. The page loads
with four or more tables that are hidden (using
style="visibility:none") and above each table is an image that's an
On/Off button. See page snippet at bottom.

For example, if I click button #1, table #1 should toggle visibility
and all other tables should remain hidden. If table #1 is visible and
I click button #3, table #1 becomes hidden and table #3 becomes
visible.

My code loops through an array, but for some reason, the loop only
runs twice. I have resisted using cookies because too many people block
them.function toggleText(toggleObj) {
var myObj = document.getElementById(toggleObj); // what we click
var currObj; // this gets used in the loop
var i;

// create an array item for each table we want to toggle
var textStuff = new Array();
textStuff[0] = 'itemOne';
textStuff[1] = 'itemTwo';
textStuff[2] = 'itemThree';
textStuff[3] = 'itemFour';

// loop through the array to look at each object on the page
// I do not know wny the loop only runs twice -- I have tested
// it with Alerts
for(i = 0; i<textStuff.length; i++) {

dynamic I would've to login to my router, see what the IP number is,
type it into the email, then send. And being physically lazy that
sux.

So I'm thinking a script could do this, write? Hmmm, should be in VBA
to do everything...which I do not know. Or can JAVAscript access Microsoft

I need to set up a way to download multiple files with JAVAscript.

I've an Array with the individual file URLs. I can download the files
with the 'open' call. However, that opens as many windows as there are
files to download.

I tried the location.href property, but only the last file in the Array
would download.

Is there a way to do this?

What is the best way to pass a value between pages accessed from the
harddrive? (The user downloads the whole manual and reads it locally
from his harddrive.)

I'm trying to create a script that enables the user to set the page's
font size from a drop down menu. It's fairly easy to do, however, the
manual being read is comprised of multiple files, so it is very
desirable that the font size can be set only once per session and the
font size is available to the script when accessing different pages.

I tried saving the value that the user selects through the menu in a
cookie, and the scripts starts by checking for that cookie. It works in
Firefox and other Gecko based browsers (the cookie has no domain), but
it does not work in Safari. Safari won't save a cookie that did not come
from a server. I do not have IE handy to check if it works with it.

So, is there a better way to pick up the font size value set in one page
from another page?

I'm using a script that uses the computers clock and prints the date
on a html document.

I've been asked to place a phone number below the printed date.

This may sound like a simple request for most you guys but for newbies
like me its a nightmare.

Can you show me how to have the script place a phon number beneath the
printed date? Below is the script.var dayarray=new
Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var montharray=new
Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")

function getthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
var hours=mydate.getHours()
var minutes=mydate.getMinutes()
var seconds=mydate.getSeconds()
var dn="AM"
if (hours>
=12)
dn="PM"
if (hours>12){
hours=hours-12
}
if (hours==0)
hours=12
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes
if (seconds<=9)
seconds="0"+seconds

//This is where the date/time gets printed. I have tried inserting the
phone number here but I'm not using the correct syntax and the script
crashes. Can you help by showing me how print a phone number below
the time?

var cdate="<small>
<font color='000000'
face='Arial'>
<b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+",
"+year+" "+hours+":"+mi read more about Placing Static Text (Phone Number) Below Printed Time

All the code:

s = '';
j = 1;
for (i in document)
{
s += j + ". " + I + ": " + document[i] + "<br />\n";
j++;
}

In Mozilla Firefox it prints a nice 136 item long list, but also throws that error up.
Can anyone explain to me what it means and why it popped up?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello.
I am trying to set the onclick event for images through a function, but the
event is triggered as soon the page loads, then won't work when the image
is clicked. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
I am using IE6 for testing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
window.onload = fnNewWindowLinks;

function fnNewWindowLinks() {
for (var intLinks=0; intLinks<document.links.length; intLinks++) {
if (document.links[intLinks].className == "picture") {
document.links[intLinks].onClick = alert("Clicked");
}
}
}

Hey! I'm brand new to JAVAscript. I am writing some functions for a
class I've, and I came up with this function that works perfectly on
Safari, but doesn'thing in IE or Firefox. I've checked time and time
again and find nothing wrong that could be causing this. Any help'd
be appreciated!

function calculateTotal(){
//This conditional statement throws an alert on submit, that none of
the fileds
//have been filled out
if((""==document.forms.buy.singleclass.value) &&
(""==document.forms.buy.sixweeks.value) &&
(""==document.forms.buy.group.value)){
alert("Please select one of the class packages below");
//stop the function at this point
break;
}
//declare 3 variable an give them the value of the objects * the cost

var x = document.forms.buy.singleclass.value * 45;
var y = document.forms.buy.sixweeks.value * 250;
var z = document.forms.buy.group.value * 110;
var result = x + y + z;

alert("The total cost for your classes is $" +result+ ".00");

I'm not sure if this is a JAVAscript question or more google maps API (application programming interface)
specific. I'm new to both JAVAscript and Google maps and find the code less
readable if I use inline functions. How do I use GEvent.addListener() with
say a reference to a function (or similar) as an argument rather than an
inline function as the argument? How can I call something like

GEvent.addListener(map, 'click', map_click(point));

function map_click(aPoint){
.
.
}

Thanks for any help. read more about Non-inline function as argument

Does anyone know of any tools and resources for converting and analysing
pages to find out why they do not work in IE 7, this applies mainly to
JAVAscript but also to CSS. The place I work at has a load of web
applications, which were designed in the Dark Ages and the management are
scratching their heads wondering why things designed for IE 4 do not work in
IE 7.
