How to run 2 js functions

I have 2 function that I am trying to run, one after another. For some reason they both run at the same time, but the second one does not load properly. Is there a way to run the first function wait then run the second function?:
//run this first
$('#abc').click(function() {
$('.test1').show();
return false;
});
//run this second
(function ($) {
"use strict";
// A nice closure for our definitions
function getjQueryObject(string) {
// Make string a vaild jQuery thing
var jqObj = $("");
try {
jqObj = $(string)
.clone();
} catch (e) {
jqObj = $("<span />")
.html(string);
}
return jqObj;
}

How would I run the first one wait 5 or so seconds and then run the jquery print? I'm having a hard time with this. So the id would run first and then the print would run adter the id="abc" Here is an example of the code in use:
<div id="test">
<button id="abc" class="btn" onclick="jQuery.print(#test1)"></button>
</div>

If I understand your problem correctly, you want the jQuery click function to be run first, making a div with id="test1" visible and then, once it's visible, you want to run the onclick code which calls jQuery.print.
The very first thing I will suggest is that you don't have two different places where you are handling the click implementation, that can make your code hard to follow.
I would replace your $('#abc').click with the following:
function printDiv(selector) {
$(selector).show();
window.setTimeout(function () {
jQuery.print(selector);
}, 1);
}
This function, when called, will call jQuery.show on the passed selector, wait 1ms and then call jQuery.print. If you need the timeout to be longer, just change the 1 to whatever you need. To use the function, update your example html to the following:
<div id="test">
<button id="abc" class="btn" onclick="printDiv('#test1')"</button>
</div>
When the button is clicked, it will now call the previously mentioned function and pass it the ID of the object that you want to print.
As far as your second function goes, where you have the comment **//run this second**, you should leave that alone. All it does is extend you jQuery object with the print functionality. You need it to run straight away and it currently does.

Cannot communicate between captivate html and parent html

I have a published captivate html file that is loaded into an iframe of another html. I cannot communicate between the two, not even with localStorage. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Parent html
var everythingLoaded = setInterval(function () {
if (/loaded|complete/.test(document.readyState)) {
clearInterval(everythingLoaded);
init();
}
}, 10);
function init() {
ScormProcessInitialize();
var studentID = ScormProcessGetValue("cmi.core.student_id");
var student_name = ScormProcessGetValue ("cmi.core.student_name");
var nameArraya = student_name.split(" ");
var nameArrayb = nameArraya[1].split(",");
var studentNumber = nameArrayb[0];
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "incomplete");
localStorage.setItem("_studentNumber", studentNumber);
alert("Student Number: " + studentNumber + " Student Mame: " + student_name);
setTimeout(function () {
document.getElementById("iFrame_a").innerHTML = "<iframe name='iframe_1' id='frame_1' src='//somepath.com/sandbox/somecourse/index.html' frameborder='0' width='1000px' height='605px'></iframe>";
}, 250);
}
function sendComplete() {
alert("Send from index start!");
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "completed");
alert("send status: Completed");
}
window.onbeforeunload = function (){
cpInfoCurrentSlide = localStorage.getItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide")
alert(cpInfoCurrentSlide);
if(cpInfoCurrentSlide >= 40)
{
alert("onbeforeunload called: " + cpInfoCurrentSlide )
ScormProcessSetValue("cmi.core.lesson_status", "completed");
}
}
iframe code snippet
localStorage.setItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide", cpInfoCurrentSlide);

I believe your problem is with onbeforeunload. As I remember captivate packages clobber any functions associated with onbeforeunload in the parent frame when they load.
Try this instead, override your SCORM api setvalue method:
var oldLMSSetValue = window.API.LMSSetValue;
window.API.LMSSetValue = function(key, value){
if(key === 'cmi.core.lesson_status' && value === 'completed'){
//do your stuff here
cpInfoCurrentSlide = localStorage.getItem("_cpInfoCurrentSlide")
alert(cpInfoCurrentSlide);
}
//call the original scorm api function so that it runs as expected.
oldLMSSetValue(key,value);
};
edit: this code would go in the parent window, not the iframe.

Get Excel range using JavaScript API for Office

I am building an App for Office (for desktop Excel) and I am looking for a function in JavaScript API Office version 1.1 that will return the addresses of the column(s) and the row(s) of a user selection. A result like "A1:C3".
I tried with Office.context.document.getSelectedDataAsync() but it only gets me the values. I need to know their address so I can display it in my app. My code is like this:
Office.context.document.getSelectedDataAsync(Office.CoercionType.Matrix, function (asyncResult) {
console.log(asyncResult.value);
});
The asyncResult only gets me an array values. I cannot find any useful help on MSDN or Google. Any help is appreciated.

This is very late but I hope this alternative can be useful to people working with Excel 2016. You can use the getSelectedRange function on the workbook to get the currently selected range and then load the address property like below.
Excel.run(function (ctx) {
var selectedRange = ctx.workbook.getSelectedRange();
selectedRange.load('address');
return ctx.sync().then(function () {
//selectedRange.address is now available to use
}).catch(function (error) {
//handle
});
}).catch(function (error) {
//handle
});

Here's the a complete working example function: Just add a test button to this function. You also need a Div to write your results using the writeToPage function (or amend to your own output area.)
function get_rangecoords() {
Office.context.document.bindings.addFromPromptAsync(Office.BindingType.Matrix,
{ id: "MyMatrixBinding" },
function (asyncResult) {
//NOW DO OUTPUT OR ERROR
if (asyncResult.status === "failed") {
writeToPage("Error get_rangecoords. " + asyncResult.error.message, 3);
}
else {
writeToPage("Added new binding with type: " + asyncResult.value.type + " and id: " + asyncResult.value.id, 1);
}
});
Office.select("bindings#MyMatrixBinding", onBindingNotFound).
addHandlerAsync(Office.EventType.BindingSelectionChanged,
onBindingSelectionChanged,
function (AsyncResult) {
writeToPage("Event handler was added successfully! Change the matrix current selection to trigger the event", 1);
});
//Trigger on selection change, get partial data from the matrix
function onBindingSelectionChanged(eventArgs) {
eventArgs.binding.getDataAsync({
CoercionType: "matrix",
startRow: eventArgs.startRow,
startColumn: eventArgs.startColumn,
rowCount: 1, columnCount: 1
},
function (asyncResult) {
//NOW DO OUTPUT OR ERROR
if (asyncResult.status === "failed") {
writeToPage("Error asyncResult: " + asyncResult.error.message, 3);
}
else {
writeToPage('Start Row:' + eventArgs.startRow + ' Start Col:' + eventArgs.startColumn + '\nSelected Row count:' + eventArgs.rowCount + ', Col Count:' + eventArgs.columnCount + '\nFirst Cell Value:' + asyncResult.value[0].toString(), 1);
}
});
}
//Show error message in case the binding object wasn"t found
function onBindingNotFound() {
writeToPage("The binding object was not found. Please return to previous step to create the binding", 3);
}
}
function writeToPage(text, varimportance) {
if (varimportance == "") {
document.getElementById('Notificationarea').style.color = "black";
}
if (varimportance == 1) {
document.getElementById('Notificationarea').style.color = "darkgreen";
}
if (varimportance == 2) {
document.getElementById('Notificationarea').style.color = "darkorange";
}
if (varimportance == 3) {
document.getElementById('Notificationarea').style.color = "red";
}
document.getElementById('Notificationarea').innerText = text;
}
For more information, see http://microsoft-office-add-ins.com

The trick is to create a named item to the whole sheet first and then attach a SelectionChanged handler to it. In its arguments you will get the column, row, height, and width of the selection inside that named item.
There is an example by the Microsoft Dev team here:

Phonegap event Resume

I am trying to load xml data and everything works good, but I would like reload xml data when device resume.
This is my code, and I don't know where to paste function for load on resume. Thanks for advices ;-)
var TITLE = "Example";
var XMLsoubor = "example.xml";
var entries = [];
var selectedEntry = "";
//listen for detail links
$(".contentLink").live("click", function () {
selectedEntry = $(this).data("entryid");
});
//Listen for main page
$("#mainPage").live("pageinit", function () {
//Set the title
$("h1", this).text(TITLE);
$.ajax({
url: XMLsoubor,
success: function (res, code) {
entries = [];
var xml = $(res);
var items = xml.find("event");
$.each(items, function (i, v) {
entry = {
title: $(v).find("id").text(),
link: $(v).find("begin").text(),
description: $.trim($(v).find("description").text())
};
entries.push(entry);
});
//store entries
localStorage["entries"] = JSON.stringify(entries);
renderEntries(entries);
},
error: function (jqXHR, status, error) {
//try to use cache
if (localStorage["entries"]) {
$("#status").html("Error");
entries = JSON.parse(localStorage["entries"])
renderEntries(entries);
} else {
$("#status").html("Error");
}
}
});
});
$("#mainPage").live("pagebeforeshow", function (event, data) {
if (data.prevPage.length) {
$("h1", data.prevPage).text("");
$("#entryText", data.prevPage).html("");
};
});
//Listen for the content page to load
$("#contentPage").live("pageshow", function (prepage) {
//Set the title
$("h1", this).text(entries[selectedEntry].title);
var contentHTML = "";
contentHTML += entries[selectedEntry].description;
contentHTML += '<p/><br><br><br>text';
$("#entryText", this).html(contentHTML);
});
function renderEntries(entries) {
var s = '';
$.each(entries, function (i, v) {
s += '<li>' + v.title + '<br>text</li>';
});
$("#linksList").html(s);
$("#linksList").listview("refresh");
}

Use the eventlistener for "resume". It should be made as soon as deviceready has fired.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/cordova_events_events.md.html#resume
The very first thing you should have in your script is an event for deviceready because a lot of Cordova things aren't ready until the deviceready event has been fired, so you need to listen for deviceready, like this:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
Then you add the other listeners in the onDeviceReady function and begin the rest of your app start up from there:
function onDeviceReady() {
//The device is ready when this function is called
document.addEventListener("resume", appReturnedFromBackground, false);
}
function appReturnedFromBackground() {
//This function is called when the app has returned from the background
alert("The app has returned from the background");
}

jQuery Find and Replace is Hanging up the browser! Data size too big?

With alot of help from #kalley we have found out that If I comment the following two lines out the LAG is gone!
var $tableContents = $table.find('tbody')
var $html = $('<tbody/>').html(data);
But how do I keep the above but cancel out the LAG ?
MORE INFO:
The code below works but the problem is that the $.GET is causing the browser to hang until the ajax request completes. I need (flow control?) or something that will solve this problem without locking/hanging up the browser until ajax completes the GET request.
The biggest LAG/Lockup/Hang is at $.get("updatetable.php", since the others only return 7 or less (number) values and this one ('updatetable.php') returns alot more (200-300kb). I would like to implement some sort of flow control here or make the script wait like 5 secs before firing the update command for tablesort and before showing the toast message so that ajax has time to GET the $.get("updatetable.php"data I just don't understand why does it lockup the browser as it is getting the data? is it trying to fire the other commands and that's whats causing the LAG?
Here are the STEPS
1.
$.get("getlastupdate.php" Will fire every 10 secs or so to check if the date and time are the same the return data looks like this: 20130812092636 the format is: YYYmmddHHmmss.
2.
if the date and time are not the same as the last GET then $.get("getlastupdate2.php" will trigger and this data will be send back and placed into a toast message and dispalyed to the user $().toastmessage('showNoticeToast', Vinfoo);
3.
before or after the above ($.get("getlastupdate2.php") another GET will fire: $.get('updatetable.php' this will GET the updated table info. and replace the old one with the new info. and then update/resort the table
4.
at the end of it all I want to $.get("ajaxcontrol.php" and this will return a 1 or 2 if the user is logged in then it will be a 2 else it's a 1 and it will destroy the session and log the user out.

</script>

Maybe instead of using setInterval, you should consider switching to setTimeout. It will give you more control over when the time repeats:
function checkComper() {
var SvInfo;
var onResponse = function (comperNow) {
if (comper === undefined) {
comper = comperNow;
} else if (comper !== comperNow) {
var Vinfoo;
comper = comperNow;
// returning this $.get will make delay done until this is done.
return $.get("getlastupdate2.php", function (primaryAddType) {
Vinfoo = primaryAddType;
$().toastmessage('showNoticeToast', Vinfoo);
}).then(checkSession);
}
};
$.get('getlastupdate.php').then(onResponse).done(function () {
tid = setTimeout(checkComper, 10000);
});
}
var tid = setTimeout(checkComper, 10000);
Then you can keep it async: true
Here's a fiddle showing it working using echo.jsontest.com and some fudging numbers.
Since the click event callback seems to be where the issue is, try doing this and see if it removes the lag (I removed other comments to make it more brief):
function checkSession() {
return $.get("ajaxcontrol.php", function (DblIn) {
console.log('checking for session');
if (DblIn == 1) {
window.location = 'loggedout.php';
}
}).then(updateTable);
}
function updateTable() {
return $.get('updatetable.php', function (data) {
console.log('update table');
var $tableContents = $table.find('tbody')
//var $html = $('<tbody/>').html(data);
//$tableContents.replaceWith($html);
// replaceWith text seems to be much faster:
// http://jsperf.com/jquery-html-vs-replacewith/4
$tableContents.replaceWith('<tbody'> + data + '</tbody>');
//$table.trigger("update", [true]);
var currentUrl = document.getElementById("frmcontent").contentWindow.location.href;
var urls = ['indexTOM.php', 'index1.php'],
frame = document.getElementById('frmcontent').contentDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
var url = urls[i];
if (frame.location.href.indexOf(url) !== -1) {
frame.location.reload()
}
}
$('[title!=""]').qtip({});
});
};
$("#append").click(function (e) {
// We will assume this is a user action
e.preventDefault();
updateTable();
});
I commented out $table.trigger("update", [true]) since if you sort the table on the server before you return it, you shouldn't need to run that, which I'm almost certain is where the bottleneck is.

It is really hard untangle the mess you have but if what you want is ajax requests every 10 seconds it make sense to separate this logic from business logic over data from server.
Your code would also really benefit from using promises. Consider this example
$(document).ready(function() {
var myData = { }
, ajaxPromise = null
setInterval(callServer, 1000)
function callServer() {
ajaxPromise = updateCall()
.then(controlCall)
.done(handler)
.error(errorHandler)
}
function updateCall() {
return $.get('updateTable.php', function(data) {
myData.update = data
})
}
function controlCall( ) {
return $.get('ajaxControl.php', function(data) {
myData.control = data
})
}
function handler() {
console.dir(myData)
}
function errorHandler(err) {
console.log(err)
console.dir(myData)
}
})
