I know I'm late on this, but 0 - 0 is 0
opening time is 0 or 12 midnight
closing time is 0 or 12 midnight
so you get 0

I wrote a similar function for showing that my business is open, based on open and closed hours in TypeScript.
It drove me nuts, was always off by an hour, Daylight savings.
I'll get back to it soon, now that I have more experience in TypeScript.

Frown | :(

setStoreHours(): void {
    const date = new Date();
    const newDate = new Date(date.getTime() + date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000);
    const offset = date.getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
    this.hourOfDay = date.getHours();
    this.dayOfWeek = date.getDay();
    switch (this.dayOfWeek) {
      case 0:
        // Sunday
        this.storeStatus = "Closed";
        break;
      case 1:
        // Monday
        if (this.hourOfDay > 8 && this.hourOfDay < 17) {
          this.storeStatus = "Open";
        }

That's JQuery like syntax.
IMO, Don't waste your time learning JQuery, I've been there and done that already.
JQuery is obsolete now, because modern browsers support modern JavaScript.
JQuery adds 3 Lbs to your first page download, and is very heavy in weight, in exchange to write shorthand JavaScript.

The reason your not absorbing or moving faster with knowledge is because your looking at shorthand JavaScript/JQuery examples, and trying to understand and copy them. These are very advanced writing skills. You should start with entry level skill writing, and when you get that down, move to shorthand.

I would of wrote it like this, for a beginner example.
ES6

Use HTML to bind the event to the button, and run calcTime().
Use camel case to label things eg. calcTime vs CalcTime vs calc-time
let has replaced var
use const instead of var or let to when something that is constant.
Try not to make a lot of const, see how I did it in one line

ES6 Example

<button type="button" onBlur="calcTime()">Calculate</button>

function calcTime() {

  // Make references to input elements
  const time = document.getElementById("currentCharge"),
    current = document.getElementById("timeAllowed"),
    breakEven = document.getElementById("breakEven");

  // Get the element values, convert to number/float
  // By default, values are strings, and don't do math well.
  let t = parseFloat(time.value);
  let c = parseFloat(current.value);

  // Perform the equation
  let bE = t * c;

  // Output the equation
  breakEven.innerHTML = bE.toString();

}

JavaScript comes in many flavors now.
I think you want ECMAScript 6, ES6, ECMAScript 2015
From there, you can branch out to TypeScript, Node, etc.
I don't know of a good learning course, but you need to stick to one version in order to learn.
And when searching for help on the internet, find examples in ES6; learn to identity ES6 examples, and then code and test.

Look at the id names you are using in the HTML against the ones you are using in the Javascript. You need to read through your code more closely.

JavaScript slide show works bad on the first page load

Hello,

I'm having an issue with my javascript slider inside removals page.

You can check it out on www.poznanprzeprowadzki.pl (not a commercial :P), section "Galeria".

On the first load, the slideshow works but, the 3/4 of one image and 1/4 of second image is inside the slideshow-container. It is possible to slide through the gallery, but one click on the button isn't moving the image enough. After the refresh, inside the slideshow-container there is only one image, and it works fine sliding through gallery.

I included the script after the footer section. Hope someone can help me... Smile | :)

<script>
		const slideshowSlide = document.querySelector('.slideshow-slide');
		const slideshowImages = document.querySelectorAll('.slideshow-slide img');

		//Buttons

		const prevBtn = document.querySelector('#prevBtn');
		const nextBtn = document.querySelector('#nextBtn');

		//Counter
		let counter = 1;
		const size = slideshowImages[0].clientWidth;

		slideshowSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)';

		//Button Listeners

		nextBtn.addEventListener('click',function(){
			if (counter >= slideshowImages.length-1) return;
			slideshowSlide.style.transition = 'transform 0.4s ease-in-out';
			counter++;
			slideshowSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)';
		});

		prevBtn.addEventListener('click',function(){
			if (counter <= 0) return;
			slideshowSlide.style.transition = 'transform 0.4s ease-in-out';
			counter--;
			slideshowSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)';
		});

		slideshowSlide.addEventListener('transitionend', ()=>{
			if (slideshowImages[counter].id === 'lastclone') {
				slideshowSlide.style.transition = "none";
				counter = slideshowImages.length - 2;
				slideshowSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)';
			}
			if (slideshowImages[counter].id === 'firstclone') {
				slideshowSlide.style.transition = "none";
				counter = slideshowImages.length - counter;
				slideshowSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)';
			}
		});

Unless the <img> element has an explicit width set, you'll need to wait for the images to finish loading before you can measure them. On the first page load, your script is probably running before the images have finished loading. On subsequent page loads, the images are probably being loaded from the cache, and finish loading before you script runs.

There's a handy plugin for detecting when all images in a container have finished loading:

Unfortunately it didn't help. I tried to set height and width of the images, tried to set the width of the images to 100% of the containers width and nothing helped.

I used both CDN scripts from your link.

I just realized that Mozilla Firefox is also displaying the slideshow bad. The images are way smaller and are all visible.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Javascript and I'm trying to write a function that returns a pyramid shape inside an array. The problem is that I can't get it to display each element of the array on a different line.

function pyramid(height){
var myPyramid = [];
var block ='#';
var space =' ';

for(let i = 0; i < height; i++){

myPyramid.push((space.repeat(height - i) + block.repeat((i * 2) + 1)));

}

return myPyramid;
}

let newPyramid = console.log(pyramid(5));

Any help will be much appreciated.

You have a one dimensional array so it will print the entire array on a single line. You will need to create a 2D array, that is an array of arrays. Each inner array will contain the values for each line to be printed. Your print part will then need to be something like:

JavaScript

let newPyramid = pyramid(5);
for (i = 0; i < newPyramid.length; i++) {
  console.log(newPyramid[i]);
}

As Richard says, you have a 1-dimensional array; but you're populating it with a string representation, and that's all fine.
console.log will display the contents in a single line, that's just how it works. But there's a "downarrow" link next to that single line; click it and the console will show each element on a separate line, illustrating the pyramid shape as you want it.

If you want the pyramid shown directly in the log without further user intervention, as Richard points out you'll need to use a loop to log each element separately (exactly as Richard has written it).

Hi, first time posting so hopefully doing it correctly. I have used a form builder to build my forms but have run into a couple of issues with functionality. In the code/calculation below I need to be able to return the answer 0 if the answer is less than 0. I've searched loads to no avail so any help would be much appreciated. T.I.A.

$('form#Commission #Commission_On').formCalc(" Nett_Earnings -Actual_Takings >0==0",{ currency_format:true, mirror:'sfm_Commission_On_parsed'});

You still have the same problem that the expression Nett_Earnings -Actual_Takings >0==0 does not make a lot of sense. The > operator means greater than, and == means equals. You need to capture the value of Nett_Earnings -Actual_Takings and then set it to zero if it is negative (assuming I understand the question).

Thanks for replying. I'm struggling to get to the point of showing 0.

Is this more like what I should have Nett_Earnings-Actual_Takings=Value<0=0
Does the script generate Value?
