I've got a multi select dropdown that displays a selection of countries. I want to have some of these preselected based on the content of an array.
Based on a similar question here How can I check checkboxes based on values? I tried using
var arrayValues = (246,247,248,249,250,251,252,253,254,255,256,257,258,259,261,262,263,265,266,267,268,270,271,272,273,274,275);
var i = 0;
while (arrayValues.length < i) {
var val = arrayValues[i];
$('#restrictCountry input[value="' + val + '"]').prop('checked', 'checked');
i++;
}
but it isn't pre selecting the checkboxes with the values shown in the array.
I've set up a fiddle so you can see how my multi select dropdown works. The pre select script is at the bottom of the javascript pane.
What have I done wrong here?
First you'are mistaken in the array syntax ,
also the loop condition is also falsy ,
and finnaly the selector you made couldn't reach newly created multi select wrapper ,
What I suggest ( a bit tricky ) is to rectify selector , then trigger a click on the check input foreach value ,( this will check the select hidden and genrated wrapper input same time )
while (i < arrayValues.length) {
var val = arrayValues[i];
$('#restrictCountry').next(".ms-options-wrap").find(` input[value=${val}]`).not(":checked").click();
i++;
}
check below snippet :
(function($) {
var defaults = {
placeholder: 'Select options', // text to use in dummy input

// search filter options

'default': 'Search', // search input placeholder text

},

fix your lines:

var i = 0;
while (arrayValues.length > i) {
var val = arrayValues[i];
$('li input[value=' + val + ']').prop('checked', true);
i++;
}
the problem is comming the fact the dropdown is built from the options defined..If you see the picture, you cant access to input from the id of select tag.
I hope someone can help me but I have just started learning javascript and I have been working on a quiz for a page of a learning website that I am helping to create. I have been asked to add a message that pops up at the end of the quiz but I can't seem to get it to work. Please excuse any terrible obvious mistakes as like I said I have only been looking into it for a couple of days.
I have a div in the html called message that I wanted to the message to appear.
This is the js I have so far. Any tips would be massively appreciated.

How to append text to a div element?
(12 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm currently trying to build my javascript function that gives css styles to every character in an element. Specifically, this function takes in an element, takes the text content in it, stores the text into an array and then create a bunch of spans to append to the text. Right now it seems like my code runs and when I check the variables in chrome dev tools, they return the correct values. However, when I actually implement this code, nothing changes visually but in the dev tools, I get my correct value of <span style="style i chose" > text </span>. Not sure what I did wrong here
var array = [];
var spanarray = [];
var words = document.getElementsByClassName("example")[0];
function fadeInByLetter () {
for(var i = 0; i < words.innerHTML.length;i++){
array.push(words.innerHTML[i]);
var span = document.createElement("span");
var textNode = document.createTextNode(array[i]);
span.appendChild(textNode);
var spancomplete = span;
spanarray.push(spancomplete);
}
for(var i = 0; i < array.length;i++){
spanarray[i].style.color = "red";
spanarray[i].style.background = "pink";
}
}
fadeInByLetter();
var array = [];
var spanarray = [];
var words = document.getElementsByClassName("example")[0];
function fadeInByLetter () {
for(var i = 0; i < words.innerHTML.length;i++){
array.push(words.innerHTML[i]);
var span = document.createElement("span");
var textNode = document.createTextNode(array[i]);
span.appendChild(textNode);
var spancomplete = span;
spanarray.push(spancomplete);
}
words.innerHTML="";
for(var i = 0; i < array.length;i++){
spanarray[i].style.color = "red";
spanarray[i].style.background = "pink";
words.appendChild(spanarray[i]);
}
}
fadeInByLetter();
The solution above should fix the problem. However you have some performance issues. You should save words.innerHTML in a string first. Then use the string instead of words.innerHTML.
That should do the trick:
function fadeInByLetter (wordsContainer) {
// extract text from the container and transform into array
var chars = wordsContainer.innerHTML.split('')
//clear the container
while (wordsContainer.firstChild) {
wordsContainer.removeChild(wordsContainer.firstChild);
}
for(var i = 0; i < chars.length;i++){
var span = document.createElement("span");
var textNode = document.createTextNode(chars[i]);
span.appendChild(textNode);
span.style.color = "red";
span.style.background = "pink";
// append new element
wordsContainer.appendChild(span)
}
}
fadeInByLetter(document.getElementsByClassName("example")[0]);
FYI: There is a library that does this same type of thing.
It's called lettering https://github.com/davatron5000/Lettering.js
Here is a demo using this library.
The library depends upon jQuery but there is also a version of this lib that uses plain javascript. See https://github.com/davatron5000/Lettering.js/wiki/More-Lettering.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".example").lettering();
});

So I'm trying to to use jQuery to append a div which will generate a card using the assigned class. The problem is I need to create a different ID each time so I can put random number on the card. I'm sure there's an easier way to do this. So i'm posing two questions. how to make the code where it put the random number on the card go endlessly. and how to append divs with unique ID's. Sorry if my code isn't the best. It's my first project.

Use an unique class with all of then, and call then by class
Add a global integer:
var cardNumber = 0;
A function to generate an id:
function newCardId() {
cardNumber ++;
return 'uniqueCardId' + cardNumber.toString();
}
And use:
var newId = newCardId();
$("#cardTable").append("<div class=\"cardLook\" id=\"" + newId + "\"></div>");
Finally to access your new div:
$('#' + newId).
Note: Escape quotes within a string using backslash!
i've been in a battle to sort this problem since yesterday and i fear that i've gotten tunnel vision.
The game:
first player to make a line of 3 of a kind (xxx or 000) wins.
http://jsfiddle.net/brunobliss/YANAW/
The catch:
Only the first horizontal line is working!!! I can make it all work using a lot of IFS but repeating the same code over and over again is often a good indicator that i'm doing somethin wrong
The problem:
bruno.checkWin(); will check if there's a line or not, the guy who presented me this game chalenge told me that it is possible to check the lines with a for loop and that i should use it instead of IFS. I can't solve this without IFS unfortunately...

I came up with a more 'compact' version of your code. No switch statements. Have a look:
http://jsfiddle.net/YANAW/1/
Here's the code, for those who prefer to read it here. Important/updated functions are checkWin() and checkCells().
var bruno = {
init: function () {
var jogo = document.getElementById('jogo');
for ( i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++ ) {
var cell = document.createElement('div');
cell.onclick = function () {
// variavel publica dentro do obj?
ultimo = (ultimo == "x") ? 0 : "x";
this.innerHTML = ultimo;
bruno.checkWin();
};
jogo.appendChild(cell);
}
},
checkWin: function () {
var jogo = document.getElementById('jogo');
var cells = jogo.getElementsByTagName('div');
// Scan through every cell
var numRows = 3;
var numColumns = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < cells.length; i++)
{
// Determine cell's position
var isHorizontalFirstCell = ((i % numColumns) === 0);
var isVerticalFirstCell = (i < numColumns);
var isTopLeftCorner = (i == 0);
var isTopRightCorner = (i == 2);
// Check for horizontal matches
if (isHorizontalFirstCell
&& bruno.checkCells(
cells, i,
(i + 3), 1))
{
alert('Horizontal');
}
// Check for vertical matches
if (isVerticalFirstCell
&& bruno.checkCells(
cells, i,
(i + 7), 3))
{
alert('Vertical');
}
// Check for diagonal matches
if (isTopLeftCorner
&& bruno.checkCells(
cells, i,
(i + 9), 4))
{
alert('Diagonal');
}
if (isTopRightCorner
&& bruno.checkCells(
cells, i,
(i + 5), 2))
{
alert('Diagonal');
}
}
},
reset: function () {
var jogo = document.getElementById('jogo');
var cell = jogo.getElementsByTagName('div');
for ( j = 0 ; j < cell.length ; j++ ) {
cell[j].innerHTML = "";
}
},
checkCells: function(cells, index, limit, step) {
var sequenceChar = null;
for (var i = index; i < limit; i += step)
{
// Return false immediately if one
// of the cells in the sequence is empty
if (!cells[i].innerHTML)
return false;
// If this is the first cell we're checking,
// store the character(s) it holds.
if (sequenceChar === null)
sequenceChar = cells[i].innerHTML;
// Otherwise, confirm that this cell holds
// the same character(s) as the previous cell(s).
else if (cells[i].innerHTML !== sequenceChar)
return false;
}
// If we reached this point, the entire sequence
// of cells hold the same character(s).
return true;
}
};
