I am using the Chuck Norris joke generator API. I was wondering if it would be possible in this situation to change part of the string returned 'Chuck Norris' to something else. I've tried a few different ideas and I'm really stuck.
E.g instead of 'Chuck Norris built the hospital he was born in.' the API could return 'Dalai Lama built the hospital he was born in.' instead.
document.querySelector('.get-jokes').addEventListener('click', getJokes);
function getJokes(e) {
const number = document.querySelector('input[type="number"]').value;
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', `http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random/${number}`, true);
xhr.onload = function() {
if (this.status === 200) {
const response = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
console.log(response);
let output = '';
if (response.type === 'success') {
response.value.forEach(function(getjoke) {
output += `<li>${getjoke.joke}</li>`;
});
} else {
output += '<li>Something went wrong</li>';
}
document.querySelector('.jokes').innerHTML = output;
}
};
xhr.send();
e.preventDefault();
}
<div class="container">
<h2>Chuck Norris Joke Generator</h2>
<form>
<div>
<label for="number">Number of jokes</label>
<input type="number" id="number">
</div>
<div>
<button class="get-jokes">Get Jokes</button>
</div>
</form>
<ul class="jokes"></ul>
</div>
I believe this could be an answer
function replaceall(thejoke, what, towhat) {
while (thejoke.includes(what) == true) {
thejoke = thejoke.replace(what, towhat);
}
return thejoke
}
thejoke Is the string, And the function takes all of what in thejoke and turns it in to towhat
This Is a program I made using this function.
I am working on a project to convert an old Irish dictionary that uses non-standardised spelling. The objective is to send the non-standardised text to an API that will convert it to standardised spelling.
The user should only have to click a button and the text will be sent behind the scenes to the API. The standardised spelling will return in two seconds and be seen on the webpage.
It sounds easy but is surprisingly difficult. The code for the API is here
The instructions for setting it up is
Here is code, both HTML and JavaScript, for running something similar:
window.addEventListener("load", function () {
var form = document.getElementById("IGform");
form.addEventListener("submit", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var XHR = new XMLHttpRequest();
XHR.onreadystatechange = function(event) {
if (XHR.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (XHR.status == 200) {
processPairs(JSON.parse(event.target.responseText));
}
else {
var div=document.getElementById("output");
div.innerHTML=XHR.status.toString()+': '+XHR.statusText;
}
}
};
XHR.open("POST", "https://cadhan.com/api/intergaelic/3.0");
XHR.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
XHR.setRequestHeader('Accept','application/json');
var payload = '';
var radios = document.getElementsByName('foinse');
for (var i=0; i<radios.length; i++) {
if (radios[i].checked) {
payload = 'foinse='+radios[i].value+'&teacs=';
break;
}
}
payload += encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById('sourcetext').value);
XHR.send(payload);
var div=document.getElementById("output");
div.innerHTML='<em>Translating...</em>'
});
});
function processPairs(arr) {
var div=document.getElementById("output");
var suppress = true;
div.innerHTML='';
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
t=arr[i][1];
if (t=="\\n") {
div.innerHTML+='<br/>';
suppress = true;
}
else {
if (suppress==false && !t.match(/^[.,\/;”:!?%})]$/)) {
div.innerHTML+=" ";
}
suppress = (t.match(/^[“\/$(\[#{]$/)!==null);
div.innerHTML+=t;
}
}
}
<form id="IGform">
<textarea rows="10" cols="40" id="sourcetext" name="teacs" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></input>

What I am trying to create instead of a form is a text that is already formatted in HTML. The user can click a button and the JavaScript will send the text to the API and then the standardised spelling will be provided pretty quickly thereafter.
I hope that it is easy to understand. Any help with this matter would really appreciated.
I have an input at the end of my table and I want it to have a different ids for each row. I made something like this:
`<td><input type="number" name="quantity${article.ID}" id="quantity${article.ID}" min="1" max="5"></td>`
This works well, as when I look in the html, it gives me something like: quantity1, quantity2 etc.
The thing is, when i try to call these ids dynamically, it returns null. Here is the full javascript code:
//load JSON file
var articles = ""
var txt = ""
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(xmlhttp.status == 200 && xmlhttp.readyState == 4){
articles = xmlhttp.responseText;
txt = JSON.parse(articles);
console.log(txt);
processArticles(txt);
processForm(txt);
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET","../articles.json",true);
xmlhttp.send();
function processArticles(article) {
var tableStart = `
<h2>Liste des articles</h2>
<form id="formtable">
<table>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Article</th>
<th>Prix</th>
<th>Prix-Retour</th>
<th>Quantitée maximale</th>
<th>Projet</th>
<th>Quantitée</th>
</tr>`;
var tableEnd = `
</table>
<input type="submit">
</form>`;
function articlesTemplate(article) {
return `
<tr>
<td>${article.ID}</td>
<td>${article.Article }</td>
<td>${article.Prix}</td>
<td>${article.PrixRetour}</td>
<td>${article.QuantiteeMaximale}</td>
<td>${article.Projet}</td>
<td><input type="number" name="quantity${article.ID}" id="quantity${article.ID}" min="1" max="5"></td>
</tr>
`;
}
let mctxt=txt.filter(value=>
value.Projet=="mc");
document.getElementById("tablemc").innerHTML = `
${tableStart}
${mctxt.map(articlesTemplate).join("")}
${tableEnd}
`;
;
}
function processForm(article) {
var form = document.getElementById('formtable');
var quantity = document.getElementById([`quantity${article.ID}`]);
form.onsubmit = function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(quantity);
};
}
The quantity variable returns as null when I log it. Any ideas on how I could fix this?
I have a Contact Form that utilizes Google Scripts. It successfully sends the email and formats it decently to my inbox, but there are 2 problems:
-I need it so that IF var key is equal to 'Action', then do not display it in the email it sends. Because right now, "Action send_message" is getting included in the email and I don't like that.
For this, I have unsuccessfully tried things like:
for (var idx in order) {
var key = order[idx];
//Skip this entry into the email output if it is the Action
if( key === 'Action') {
continue
}
It seems to not react to this code at all.
-I also need it so that if a city is selected, e.g. Alachua, that the email says 'Alachua' instead of 'Florida_Alachua'. But I can't add a NAME to an option since apparently options don't have that property. I also can't do the quick fix of changing the VALUE of the <option> to resolve this step, because of other code I have that conflicts with this route.

finally, this is the extra code that would break if I simply tried changing the value of option to, e.g., 'Alachua' instead of 'Flordia_Alachua'. https://jsfiddle.net/hmatt843/504dgmqy/19/
Thanks for any and all help.
Try console.log(key) before if( key === 'Action'). I think you'll find that key never equals 'Action', exactly. Looks like you'll need if( key === 'action'), instead.
If you wish to remove part of string value, try the replace method: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace
It also looks like you're trying to work with elements[k].name when you mean to be working with elements[k].value.
I believe your code should look something like...
function(k) {
if(elements[k].value !== undefined) {
return elements[k].value.replace('Florida_', '');
// special case for Edge's html collection
} else if(elements[k].length > 0){
return elements[k].item(0).value.replace('Florida_', '');
}
}
... or something to that effect.
In the future, you may want to make it easier for folks trying to help you by posting only the portions of code your having trouble with, and breaking your questions into different posts. A lot to sift through up there.
Hope this helped.
The split() method splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings, using a specified separator string to determine where to make each split.
Var splitValue = elements[k].item(0).value.split("");
splitValue[1] will give you a string of characters after the delimeter () in this case.
I have two html, first sends value to another. I want in second html receive data in javascript. On first html page user would be able to insert localhost:8888 address, address should be send to java script in another html...for now i have default address in java script .. please help.
first html
<form action="second.html" method="GET" >
<input type="text" name="" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
second html

$(document).ready(function () {
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8888/ws");
ws.onopen = function(evt) {
var conn_status = document.getElementById('conn_text');

};
...
got more code
<script>
...
You can get submitted data from URL, because your from has submit method GET:
first html:
<form action="second.html" method="GET" >
<!-- In this way we can get submitted data from get param "host" -->
<input type="text" name="host" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
second html:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
// function to get params from url
function getQueryParams(query) {
query = query || window.location.search;
if (query.length === 0) {
return {};
}
var params = {};
var paramsArr = query.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < paramsArr.length; i++) {
var p = paramsArr[i].split("=");
params[p[0]] = p[1] || '';
}
return params;
}
// try to get param "host" from url (which submitted from first html)
var queryParams = getQueryParams();
var host = queryParams.host || 'localhost:8888';
var ws = new WebSocket('ws://' + host + '/ws');
ws.onopen = function (evt) {
var conn_status = document.getElementById('conn_text');
conn_status.innerHTML = "Status: Connected!"
};
// more code
}
</script>
