Im currently quite new to javascript and im just trying to learn some basic things. Im not so bad in other languages so i do understand concepts etc.
I have a table with 10 rows for example, One of the cells is a "CaseID" and it exists for every row. Im trying to use the Math.Random property to generate random numbers.
My problem i hit first was i was using the ID property in my HTML and obviously this is unique, next i used class. I tried to append the output with an index but this again only worked for the first cell and nothing for the rest.
HTML:
<td class="caseID"></td>
JS:
var caseID = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000));
document.getElementsByClassName("caseID")[0].innerHTML = caseID;
This all works great for the first cell/row but every other row returns blank. Im assuming because i need to perhaps create an array/indexing but im unsure on how to do this.
Could i create a variable:
var tds = document.getelementsbyclassname("caseID");
And maybe write a foreach etc? again not sure on how to do this.
Thanks in advance!
You can try a foreach like this, which would be a lighter syntax
document.getElementsByClassName("caseID").forEach(function(element) {
var caseID = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000));
element.innerHTML = caseID;
})
You can use a good old for loop, use a more "separate the steps" way which could help you understand more how javascript works. I will use querySelectorAll but you can do it with getElementsByClassName
var myTds = document.querySelectorAll('caseID');
// You don't want to calculate the length at each loop
for (var i = 0, length = myTds.length; i < length; i++) {
var caseID = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000));
var element = myTds[i];
element.innerHTML = caseID;
}
Hope it helps
How about this:
var tds = document.getElementsByClassName("caseID");
if ( tds.length ) { // just a check to make sure you've found somethiung
var caseID = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000));
for(i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {
tds[i].innerHTML = caseID;
caseID = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10000));
}
}
You can do this by write a foreach for class element in javascript.
var cases_list = document.querySelectorAll('.caseID');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(cases_list, function(elements, index) {
// conditional here.. access elements
});
OR if you use jquery than you can do this by
$('.caseID').each(function(index, obj){
//you can use this to access the current item
});

I am new to js and I don't understand much of codes and conditions in js.
My question is simple but I need someone to give me a good example if possible as I know what I need but it is getting hard to implement that in code.
This is my code with 2 arrays where the data is coming from.
blind_tmp = '';
for (i=0; i<#All of Blind Relationship Link.length; i++){
blind_tmp = blind_tmp + '<p>[**' + #All of Element Title[i] + '**](' + #All of Blind Relationship Link[i] + ')'
};
What simple needed is that. I want merge records that are duplicates printed.
for example: if Blind Relationship link is AF44 and after 6 elements this AF44 comes again so I want both to be written like 1.AF44,2.AF44
while now it is writing the elements how they come along
example:
AF11,AF22,AF33,AF44,AF55,AF66,AF77,AF44
so in this example you see two AF44
I want them to be written like this
AF11,AF22,AF33,AF44AF44,AF55,AF66,AF77
any help with a code example is appreciated.
The idea is to iterate through each element in the blindRelationshipLink and store those elements in a temporary array which will be used to check the number of occurrence of an array element.
var blindRelationshipLink = ['AF11','AF22','AF33','AF11','AF44','AF44','AF55','AF66','AF77','AF11','AF22','AF11'];
var arrTemp = [];
var p = '';
blindRelationshipLink.forEach(function(arr){
var count = 0;
arrTemp.forEach(function(a){
if(arr === a)
count++;
});
arrTemp.push(arr);
if(count){
count++;
arr= arr + '.' + count;
}
p = p + arr + ',';
});
alert(p);
You test by running the code snippet.
This approach is not best but it may serve your purpose.
Here is a snippet
var elemArray = ['AF11', 'AF22', 'AF33', 'AF44', 'AF55', 'AF66', 'AF77', 'AF44']; // Array of elements
//A new array which which will contain elements which pass our case
var finalArray = [];
elemArray.forEach(function(item) { // loop through main array
// Check if element is present or else push the element
if (finalArray.indexOf(item) == -1) {
finalArray.push(item);
} else {
// if element is there find the index
var getIndex = finalArray.indexOf(item);
// remove the element, else there will be duplicate
finalArray.splice(getIndex, 1);
//concate the matched element
var newElem = item + item;
// push the element in specfic index
finalArray[getIndex] = newElem;
}
})
console.log(finalArray)
Current drawback with this code is what will happen if there are multiple repeated item in the main array. For example presence of AF33 more than twice.

I have to save temporary data for my webpage using java script.This is the way that i save i one by one since the data is an array.
var product= new Array();
product[1] = document.getElementById("product[1]").value;
product[2] = document.getElementById("product[2]").value;
This method is working. but when i run it by looping, it doesnt work.
for(var i=1; i < no_item; i++){
product[i] = document.getElementById("product[i]").value;
}
*product[] is a varibale that I take from a html dropdown menu
Can anyone please tell me the problem ? thanks ~ =)
Should be written as, as you are going to be getting the id "product[i]" every time with your original code. This will get "product[1]" then "product[2]" and so on:
for(var i=1; i < no_item; i++){
product.push(document.getElementById("product[" + i + "]").value);
}
Also, as a comment, we tend to prefer var product = []; over var product = new Array(); in javascript but both will work.
Hi all i am trying to change the html of an object from an array of htmls. But i am having problem iterating properly. I managed to make it work once
EDIT
After a few complains about the clarity of my question I will rephrase it. I have a div panel called .trpanel and a button called #trigger2 (it is a next button). Then I have a series of divs with texts that contain translations. I want when I press the button (called next) to cycle through the translations one by one on the trpanel.
var ltranslation = [];
ltranslation[0] = $("#translation-en-1").html();
ltranslation[1] = $("#translation-ur-en").html();
ltranslation[2] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[3] = $("#translation-it-en").html();
ltranslation[4] = $("#translation-sp-en").html();
ltranslation[5] = $("#translation-po-en").html();
ltranslation[6] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[7] = $("#translation-de-en").html();
var l= ltranslation;
$("#trigger2").off('click').on('click',function(){
for (var i = 0; i <= ltranslation.length; i++){
if (i==7){i=0;}
$(".trpanel").html.ltranslation[i]; or ???//replace().ltranslation[]+i??? the code throws errors
}
});
I am quite new to Javascript and i am getting a bit confused with the types of objects and arrays and loops. I managed once to add the htmls but without replacing them ... so they all came one after the other. The i tried to change the code and it hasn't worked since. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
A lot of guessing, but seems like you are trying to do this :
var trans = $('[id^="translation-"]'),
idx = 0;
$("#trigger2").on('click',function(){
$(".trpanel").html( trans.eq(idx).html() );
idx = idx > 6 ? 0 : idx+1;
});
FIDDLE
I think you are trying to do this:
if (i == 7) {
i = 0; // I don't really know why you are doing this, but it will reset the loop
}
$(".trpanel").html(ltranslation[i]); //I'm passing ltranslation[i] to the html method. Instead of .html.ltranslation[i].
}
Also, without seeing any html, I'm not sure but I think you may want to iterate over .trpanel ?
Something like:
$(".trpanel").eq(i).html(ltranslation[i]);
Another thing (so you can make your code clearer I think). You can abstract the array population in a function, like this:
var ltranslation = [];
var languages = ["en-1", "ur-en", "fr-en", "it-en", "sp-en", "po-en", "fr-en", "de-en"];
$.each(languages, function(index) {
ltranslation[index] = $("#translation-" + this).html();
});
// Then you can use ltranslation
If you want to flip through several translations I would implement it that way:
var translations=["hej","hello", "hallo","hoy"];
var showTranslation=function(){
var current=0;
var len=translations.length;
return function(){
var direction=1;
if (current>=len) current=0;
$("#text").text(translations[current]);
current+=direction;
}
}();
$("#butt").on("click", showTranslation);
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Xr9fz/
Further: You should give your translations a class, so you could easily grab all of them with a single line:
$(".translation).each(function(index,value){ ltranslation.push(value); })
From the question : I managed once to add the htmls but without replacing them -
I think you want to add all of these items into $(".trpanel"). First, dont take the HTML of each element, clone the element itself :
//method ripped from Nico's answer.
var ltranslation = [];
var languages = ["en-1", "ur-en", "fr-en", "it-en", "sp-en", "po-en", "fr-en", "de-en"];
$.each(languages, function(index) {
ltranslation[index] = $("#translation-" + this).clone();
});
Then you could append everything into the container, so add the htmls but without replacing them. append takes in an array without replacing the previous html.
$("#trigger2").off('click').on('click',function() {
$(".trpanel").append(ltranslation);
});
I don't know what exactly you're tring to do, but I've put comments in your code to help you better understand what your code is doing. The net effect of your code is this (which I doubt you want) :
$("#trigger2").off('click').on('click',function(){
$(".trpanel").html(ltranslation[7]);
});
This is your code with some comments and minor changes
var ltranslation = [];
ltranslation[0] = $("#translation-en-1").html();
ltranslation[1] = $("#translation-ur-en").html();
ltranslation[2] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[3] = $("#translation-it-en").html();
ltranslation[4] = $("#translation-sp-en").html();
ltranslation[5] = $("#translation-po-en").html();
ltranslation[6] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[7] = $("#translation-de-en").html();
var l= ltranslation;
$("#trigger2").off('click').on('click',function(){
for (var i = 0; i < ltranslation.length; i++){
//if (i==7){i=0;} <-- This will cause an infinite loop won't it? are you trying to reset i? i will reset next time loop is called,
$(".trpanel").html(ltranslation[i]); //<-- this will overwrite elements with class .trpanel ltranslation.length times...
///you'll see only the value of translation[7] in the end
}
});
EDIT
To do what you want to do based on your comments, try this:
var ltranslation = [];
ltranslation[0] = $("#translation-en-1").html();
ltranslation[1] = $("#translation-ur-en").html();
ltranslation[2] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[3] = $("#translation-it-en").html();
ltranslation[4] = $("#translation-sp-en").html();
ltranslation[5] = $("#translation-po-en").html();
ltranslation[6] = $("#translation-fr-en").html();
ltranslation[7] = $("#translation-de-en").html();
var counter = 0;//a global counter variable
$("#trigger2").click(function(){ //eeverytime button is clicked do this
$(".trpanel").html(ltranslation[counter]); //set the html to an element of array
counter++; //increment counter
if(counter==ltranslation.length) //reset the counter if its bigger than array len
counter=0;
});
I'm trying to populate a <span></span> element on the page load with jQuery.
At the moment the value that gets populated into the span is just an integer count.
Here I have named my span userCount:
Users<span id = "userCount"></span>
I am trying to write the value of the span with no success.
$(document).ready(function () {
$.post("Dashboard/UsersGet", {}, function (dataset) {
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(dataSet);
var table = obj.Table;
var countUsers;
for (var i = 0, len = table.length; i < len; i++) {
var array = table[i];
if (array.Active == 1) {
var name = array.Name;
}
countUsers = i;
}
userCount.innerHTML = countUsers.toString();
});
});
You don't have any usercount variable. Use $(selector) to build a jquery object on which you can call functions like html.
$('#userCount').html(countUsers);
Note also that
you don't need to convert your integer to a string manually.
if you don't break from the loop, countUsers will always be table.length-1.
you have a typo : dataSet instead of dataset. Javascript is case sensitive.
you don't need to parse the result of the request
you don't need to pass empty data : jQuery.post checks the type of the provided parameters
So, this is probably more what you need, supposing you do other things in the loop :
$.post("Dashboard/UsersGet", function (dataset) {
var table = dataset.Table;
var countUsers = table.length; // -1 ?
// for now, the following loop is useless
for (var i=0, i<table.length; i++) { // really no need to optimize away the table.length
var array = table[i];
if (array.Active == 1) { // I hope array isn't an array...
var name = array.Name; // why ? This serves to nothing
}
}
$('#userCount').html(countUsers);
});
Use .html()!
Users<span id = "userCount"></span>
Since you have assigned an id to the span, you can easily populate the span with the help of id and the function .html().
$("#userCount").html(5000);
Or in your case:
$("#userCount").html(countUsers.toString());
Change:
userCount.innerHTML = countUsers.toString();
to:
$("#userCount").html(countUsers.toString());
Instead of:
userCount.innerHTML = countUsers.toString();
use:
$('#userCount').html(countUsers.toString());
You could use
$('#userCount').text(countUsers);
to write data to span
The call back argument should be dataSet rather than dataset?
I'm trying to change the value of an input field with Javascript.
I tried everything, but nothing seems to works. I tried putting the 5 between quotation marks and using jquery. I also double-checked the array and everything.
Here is the input code:
<input type="number" id="id_[SOME_ID_HERE]" value="0">
and the loop used to update the values.
for (var i = 0; i < shoppingCart.length; i++) {
var val = shoppingCart[i];
document.getElementById("id_" + val.substring(3)).value = 5;
}
jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zkTud/
EDIT: Seems like it doesn't work with type="text" as well...
EDIT2: Thank you everyone who answered. My problem was actually something else.
The input was loaded from another page, and it took time and the for loop I had problem with (see above) was executed before the file was done loading.
All I did was to move the for loop as is to the callback function and it works now.
Thanks anyways!
I really appreciate the help I'm getting in this site! :)
The problem is that your call to substring is returning too much of the string, so there are no elements found by getElementById. Change it to this:
for(var i = 0; i < shoppingCart.length; i++) {
var val = shoppingCart[i];
document.getElementById("id_" + val.substring(5)).value = 5;
}
Here's an updated fiddle.
The substring method (when called with one argument) returns the characters from the index specified to the end of the string. Since you are specifying index 3, you get "d_1", "d_2" etc. when actually you just want the number.
Alternatively, you could of course change the string to which you append the substring, but I think that would be more confusing to read (not immediately obvious which element will be returned):
document.getElementById("i" + val.substring(3)).value = 5;
