How to use innerHTML in my code to align the text in the center?

I am trying to make a website using html, css and js which shows jokes when refreshed. I can display my jokes using document.write() but I dont know how to center align it so it would look good. I searched the web and found that we could use inner.HTML function but I cant understand how to use it in my code. Pls help.
My code-
Js code-

HTML - How to make a "Read More" button
(3 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have a code like this. I want to show maxlength 100 but when I click button I want to see all text. When I click button again I want to show length is going to be 100 again.
I didn't do it. Can you help me ?
Sorry for my English
function MyButton () {
var x = document.getElementById("p1").maxLength = 300;
document.querySelector('.p1').innerText = x;

<button onclick="MyButton()" id="More">..Show More</button>

You can do a little trick like this where you assign the full text content to a dataset attribute at page load but display the short version on the page.
When the button is clicked, assign the short text content to another dataset attribute and display the full text. This process then repeats to hide the full text when the button is clicked again.
document.querySelectorAll('button.More').forEach(bttn=>{
bttn.dataset.state=0;
bttn.addEventListener('click',function(e){
let span=this.previousElementSibling;
span.dataset.tmp=span.textContent;
span.textContent=span.dataset.content;
span.dataset.content=span.dataset.tmp;
this.innerHTML=this.dataset.state==1 ? 'Show More...' : 'Show Less...';
this.dataset.state=1-this.dataset.state;
})
});
document.querySelectorAll('span.p1').forEach(span=>{
span.dataset.content=span.textContent;
span.textContent=span.textContent.substr(0,100) + '...';
})

Wrap a set of paragraphs with no markup and random <br> in p tags

I'm working on themes for a legacy API that spits out less than wonderful / if not markup-less / markup. I've been able to wrestle most of it back into shape with wrap() and other methods, but for some reason this one is stumping me. Do I really need to get out the for loops for something like this - or is there a cheap and dirty way to get these paragraphs into <p> paragraphs?

I keep thinking about this lonely guy in a lake, like a 19th century convict rowing through fog, making his great escape from an island prison and sinking halfway to shore. What happens to that guy?

Feels like trying to get these in shape might not be worth it. Thoughts?

Maybe you can achieve this using the childNodes in DOM .
$("#btnConvert").on("click",function(){
var text = $("#text");
result = $("<div>").html(text.val()).children().contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType == 3 && this.data.trim() != "";
}).map(function(){ return "<p>"+this.data+"</p>"}).get().join("");
text.val(result);
});

You should look into Regex if you're going to be doing a lot of this. You get much more control over your text and the code is short.
I called .match on the innerHTML and using this regex string /".+/g. It finds all text from the left-most quote until a newline.
text.match(/".+/g);
Here's how the match parses out.

How can I pass data between controllers in AngularJS?

I need to keep two separate controllers, one for a search area and one to display data. When a search is performed I need to fetch data from the internet and update the view with the new data. I don't want to wrap everything with a bigger controller or something like that (is this best practice?) but I'd prefer the search and display controllers to remain completely separate.
This is the html code relative to the search field and display grid
<div id="mainContainer" class="container-fluid" >
<div id="searchContainer">
<div id="search" ng-controller="SearchController as srcCtrl">
<!-- on submit call submit(title) -->
<form class="navbar-form" role="search">
<div class="input-group">
<input ng-model="title" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" name="srch-term" id="srch-term">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="srcCtrl(title)"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div id="animeContainer" class="container-fluid">
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<!-- animeContainer directive -->
<anime-container></anime-container>
</div>
</div>
And the Angular code:

app.controller('AnimeListController', function(){
this.anime = animeList; //list of anime to display in anime list
this.onSelectAnime = function(anime){

I'm sure there's a pretty simple solution but I only find something that seems using old versions of AngularJS (I'm using 1.2.26).
Thanks everybody!
P.S. any other tip or advice about best practices are welcome!

What you want to do is add a service that you can then inject into your other controllers/directives. In your example, I imagine something like SearchService would work. In your submit function, rather than invoking the API directly have it call into the SearchService to execute the search. The SearchService would then maintain and expose the result set. Any controller and/or directive interested in displaying the results could bind to SearchService.resultSet, for instance.
Remember that Angular services are singleton objects. So if you intend on having more than a single search form/result object you may need to enhance your service to store named searches. However, based on the code you've shown, it looks like a single resultset would suffice. You could, optionally, decorate the ctrl,directive,service as part of an anime-specific module. So instead of SearchService call it AnimeSearchService.
app.factory('AnimeSearchService', function($http) {
var service = { resultSet: {} };
service.executeSearch = function(args) {
... some API calls ...
// when they return results store them as service.resultSet
}
return service;
});
Then in your controller
app.controller('AnimeSearchController', function(AnimeSearchService){
this.submit = function(srcstr){
//here I call the API and then I want to update the anime variable in AnimeListController
AnimeSearchService.executeSearch(srcstr);
console.log(srcstr);
}
});
app.controller('AnimeListController', function(AnimeSearchService){
this.anime = AnimeSearchService.resultSet; //expose the service to the template (or optionally create a $watch to update)
this.onSelectAnime = function(anime){
console.log(anime);
};
});
UPDATE: Your issue most likely comes down to angular bindings. If you are binding to properties of the service's resultSet object then those bindings will update as those properties change. However, if you are assigning the value of a property to a new property in your own controller/scope then you will have to watch the service and update your controller/scope's copy. Perhaps this fiddle will help explain it better: http://jsfiddle.net/vv3odc7t/1/

AngularJS access Data from Resource Query

I have a Jersey Rest Application which I d'like to access with a AngularJS application.
I have defined the resource as follows:
Service:
angular.service('Wine', function ($resource) {
return $resource('/myserver/rest/wines/:wineId', {}, {
update: {method:'PUT'},
'query': {method: 'GET', isArray: true}
});
});
Controller:
function WineListCtrl(Wine) {
this.wines = Wine.query();
}
In Firebug I can see the result of this GET-Request:
{"wine":[{"country":"USA","description":"With hints of ginger and spice, this wine makes an excellent complement to light appetizer and dessert fare for a holiday gathering.","grapes":"Pinot Noir","id":"9","name":"BLOCK NINE","picture":"block_nine.jpg","region":"California","year":"2009"},{"country":"Argentina","description":"Solid notes of black currant blended with a light citrus make this wine an easy pour for varied palates.","grapes":"Pinot Gris","id":"11","name":"BODEGA LURTON","picture":"bodega_lurton.jpg","region":"Mendoza","year":"2011"},{"country":"France","description":"The aromas of fruit and spice give one a hint of the light drinkability of this lovely wine, which makes an excellent complement to fish dishes.","grapes":"Grenache / Syrah","id":"1","name":"CHATEAU DE SAINT COSME","picture":"saint_cosme.jpg","region":"Southern Rhone / Gigondas","year":"2009"},{"country":"France","description":"Though dense and chewy, this wine does not overpower with its finely balanced depth and structure.

In my html page I d'like to access the content as following:
<ul ng:controller="WineListCtrl">
<li ng:repeat="wine in wines">
<a href='#/wines/{{ wine.id }}'>{{ wine.name }}</a>
</li>
</ul>
Sadly there are no results showing up in the UI (although the JSON Result seems to be okay and there is no error on the Browser Console).
If I make an alert like
alert(this.wines.length)
I get 0 as result.
Would be great to get some help of you guys...

Your first problem is that you're assigning to this and not the scope. If you don't assign to the scope, your data won't be available for binding in the view. So inject the $scope into your controller and assign it the wines attribute:
function WineListCtrl($scope, Wine) {
$scope.wines = Wine.query();
}
You have another problem though. The ngResource module expects the result of call to query to be an array, but you're actually returning an object:
{wine: [an array of wines]}
So unless you remove the key from the server-side response, your ng-repeat might have to look something like:
<li ng-repeat="wine in wines.wine">...</li>
