Quote: is the execution predictable that it will run exactly as coded every time?
100% sure it would run the same every time, unless your JavaScript engine tinkers with something else.
In other words, it is a standard language and alert(message) always pops out a dialog box instead of closing the window (which is done by using window.close()). I have never seen such thing ever happening.

right, when i have code that works sometimes but not every time, i wonder what the engine is doing.
So, would you say that an application like controlling equipment would not be advisable with html/javascript? where it reads a value of something and takes action like sets a voltage that runs a motor, etc?
its okay if its like that, am just trying to be clear what its doing, how 'stateful' is it? i mean there are websites like amazon where you look at items and it may mess up but you just reload and go. if the html/javascript was running motors that moved mechanisms is it stateful and trustable to keep its place?

Yes they are totally trust-worthy and you can put your faith in it. It is just the browser that keeps tinkering, and the performance and other stuff depends on browser itself.
JavaScript would never do something that is not written, and would always do what is written.

ok thanks for that. === is strict equality, nulls compare when they are null and undefined, == converts the types but hopefully converts a copy; so if it converts and you reference something more than once that got converted, it can be a problem is that what you mean?
I assumed strict equality, but will use this in the future. it seems that the javascript/html cannot be trusted for lambda type expressions like c#, just do everything a step at a time
i had done switch case, case yes, no, null, "" then default with the alert message "it should never get here". of course you can guess the message that shows up. value was no. or other code tested for null and would be true when the value was string 'no', and othertimes not.
but i think the answer is to separate the tests and not try to combine and hope the test will be run right.

Is that how you do it in any other language? Clearly you have less idea of how relational operators work.
$('el').val(null);
Code would set the value of that (input only) element to null. It doesn't perform any comparison at all. Which is done by using equality check. You need to use,
if($('#TTest1').val() == '')) {
$('#TTest1').val('No');
}
This would now work.
Another way has been shared by Richard, that is an equality check that also check whether their type is same or not, for example '1' == 1 is true (where as in C# it would be false, because character 1 is not equal to integer 1). For such scenarios you use === which checks the type also. In such case, '1' === 1 would return false. Which means they might have same string representation but not same type. Use that code in order to determine their type and value.

were you saying that comparison to ="" is not valid? its sometimes a reference to null, right?
is there any way you know of that could make visual studio debug this script? if i put breakpoints on the script it says no, not supported.
fiddle is nice to check syntax; three equals's checks types, so its a bit clearer now

Debug your JavaScript code inside your browser. Browsers also support this feature.

I'm having problems with external js file. When the function is within the html page, it works fine. as soon as I reference it to external source it doesn't.
External file: xml.js
function helloworld1() {
document.write( helloworld world );
return
}
web page:
<title>
function helloworld1() {
document.write("helloworld world");
return
}
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var m = helloworld();
Click me to display Date and Time.

Probably your reference is wrong...It may be src="xml.js" or some ore complicated path...Use the built in debugger of your browser and check console messages to see if the external file was loaded at all...

but i can put alert messages in there and they get fired off in other parts of the same script section
you get variables from the database there in that edit form sitting in the controls mostly textboxes and then when clicking submit they all get sent into the db to update the db table
so in the html the variable is there, sometimes its visible in the alert("value is: "+ $'(variablename).val'));
but if the variable.val() isnull or == null or == "" then it should set that variable.val() = "No";
sometimes it works, sometimes not this is with a handler that runs after the window.load ? when the DOM is fully ready and all the images are drawn, then it runs code to check for certain null values and if null replace that with string 'no' otherwise dont care.
thanks

It works the same. Your problem may be timing issue. The provided code doesn't show the usage of the xml functions and I'm assuming you execute some xml function while the xml.js is being loaded. Before you make any call to functions defined in the xml.js file, you have to make sure that the file has been loaded successful.

Please how can i input jquery slideshows in my web?

I have a table with 3 columns. Container # , Container Size and Pickup Location.
I am looping through each of the rows and append all the data to a string variable.
However, I also need to store the Pick up location(input by user, and will be same for all containers in a request) to be stored in a variable. How do I go about it?
The alert does show up onchange of text in textbox txtLocRow1. However the value is not showing up in email.
<table id="tblCtnrInfo" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<input id="txtLocRow1" onkeypress="keyPressTest(event, this);" name="txtLocRow1" onchange="StoreLocation()" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
function StoreLocation() {
var j;
for (j = 1; j <= 1; j++) {
_pickLoc.Value = document.getElementById('txtLocRow' + j).value;
alert('Hidden:' + _pickLoc.Value);
}
C# code where I intend to use _pickLoc.Value to show location in email subject.
msg.Subject = "ABC Request from " + tCompany.Value + ": " + uName.Value + ": " + _pickLoc.Value ;

It's best to store it in a hidden textbox.
So if your using asp.net, you make the hidden textbox on the webform, so the server know that it exists, and write to it using Javascript or JQuery.
Now you can post that value back to the server for further processing.
|
|
|
|
|
I am using a hidden input field called _pickLoc which stores the value. Even the alert is displayed. Its just that the value doesn't not appear on the email subject line as it is intended to.
Please let me know if I am missing anything here. Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|

alert('Hidden:' + _pickLoc.Value); // This should confirm that the proper value is stored in the textbox
But the fault I see is that your confused about the client side, which is the browser, and the server side, the web server.
There are 2 ways to pass back the value;
One is a web service, using $AJAX in jquery, you take the _pickLoc and send it back to a web service, the web service picks up the value, creates an email message, and transmits it.
Two is posting back to the server. You have to have a submit button to post the page back to the server. The user clicks the button, a postback is generated, and the server side code reads the textbox value. Then you package your email and transmit it.

Hi,
I want to convert canvas image to webm video in Mozilla Firefox.
In Chrome, it is easy to use RecordRTC.js.
But Mozilla Firefox doesn't support image/webp format.
How can I convert image to video in Mozilla Firefox?
Please, help.

You really can't depend upon a browser to do your work for you.
You need to get it on the web server, convert it, store it, and point to it using the proper HTML element.

I am new to javascript and have to maintain an old application. I would like to know if there is a way I can make this scroller display more than one message at a time.
Thanks.
There is an array messages[] that holds all the messages.

if (tlayer.top>=tlayer.document.height*-1){
tlayer.top-=5
setTimeout("move1(tlayer)",50)
}
else{
tlayer.top=parseInt(scrollerheight)
tlayer.document.write(messages[i])
tlayer.document.close()

Hi,
I'm going to record remote audio in video chating with WebRTC.
But webrtc provide audio in mono mode, and chrome supports recording only stereo mode.
So, I need to convert audio channel from mono to stereo mode.
Is it possible?
If it possible, how can I do it?
Thanks.

In JavaScript
I need the shortest possible code to generate the 99 bottles of beer on the wall song lyrics into a string (using "\n" as the line separator). The problem is making it grammatically correct while still keeping the code compact.
For a refresher:
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall.
97 bottles of beer on the wall, 97 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 96 bottles of beer on the wall.
...
2 bottles of beer on the wall, 2 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 1 bottle of beer on the wall.
1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, no more bottles of beer on the wall.
I'm searching for the cleverest, most compact approach.
Any ideas?
