I'm doing Codeacademy JavaScript course and I'm doing okay. I've been able to solve my problems on my own until now. I just can't get it right.
Heres my code
JavaScript
var main = function() {
$('.btn').click(function() {
var post = $('.status-box').val();
$('<li>').text(post).prependTo('.posts')
$('.status-box').val(''),
});
$('.status-box').keyup(function() {
var postLength = $(this).val().length;
var charactersLeft = 140 - postLength;
$('.counter').text(charactersLeft);
});
}
$(document).ready(main);

The JavaScript code isn't working. It's supposed to make a character count for how many characters there are left to be used in the textbox. Problem is the code isn't working. Remember I'm a beginner so try to be as clear as possible when presenting a solution to my problem. I think that the problem is small error somewhere in the JavaScript code, but I just can't find it since my JavaScript understanding isn't optimal yet. Thanks!
This is just bad syntax of extra comma, here is the fixed version:
var main = function() {
$('.btn').click(function() {
var post = $('.status-box').val();
$('<li>').text(post).prependTo('.posts');
$('.status-box').val('');
});
$('.status-box').keyup(function() {
var postLength = $(this).val().length;
var charactersLeft = 140 - postLength;
$('.counter').text(charactersLeft);
});
}
$(document).ready(main);
It's very small, just a syntax error, look at this:
$('.status-box').val(''),
Change it to
$('.status-box').val('');

THANK YOU ALL, this has been corrected and it now works :)
val is a jQuery function ... you need () to invoke it so it returns the value of element. As your code stands now you are trying to set a function object as text.
You are also using incorrect selectors $('btn') and $('status-box') which are looking for non existent tags <btn> and <status-box>.
Add dot prefix for both to represent class:
$('.btn') and $('.status-box')
As well as what's been mentioned in the other answer, I don't believe your main method is ever called. If it isn't called then the event handler isn't going to be attached.
The main method would be easier set up via jquery, so instead of:
var main = function() {
$('btn').click(function() {
var post = $('status-box').val
$('<li>').text(post).prependTo('.posts');
});
}
Just do:
$(function() {
$('btn').click(function() {
var post = $('status-box').val
$('<li>').text(post).prependTo('.posts');
});
});
Alternatively you could adjust your body tag as follows:
<body onload="main()">
Yes, i know this is a duplicate, but all the answers i've read didn't help me, i have a side by side working example, from w3school, it works, and mine doesn't, what i am trying to do is show a tooltip warning the user to use numbers only, but instead, it just refreshes the page.
This is my full html page code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

});

var str = $('#search-form').val();
if (str.match(/^[0-9]*$/)) {
$('#search-form').tooltip({title="You did good :)"});
}
else
{
$('#search-form').tooltip({title="Please enter numbers ONLY !"});
}
});
});
</script>
</head>

<div class="box">

<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btntxt">Validate</button>
<div id="search_results"></div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I didn't put the data-toggle:"tooltip" neither a title:"sometitlehere" in the element's options, because i don't really need it.
There are few mistakes in your code,
//it should be title: and not title=
$('#search-form').tooltip({title:"You did good :)"});
The above line initializes the tooltip once your code excutes.
After that if the tooltip title is updated, the tooltip is needed to be destroyed and re-initialized with new title.
var previous;
//Buy Button JS code
$(function () {
$("#searchform").bind('submit', function () {
var newTooltip="";
var str = $('#search-form').val();
if (str.match(/^[0-9]*$/)) {
newTooltip = "You did good :)";
}
else
{
newTooltip = 'Please enter numbers ONLY !';
}
$('#search-form').attr('title', newTooltip).tooltip('fixTitle').tooltip('setContent').tooltip('show');
setTimeout(function(){
$('#search-form').tooltip('hide').tooltip('destroy');
}, 1500);
});
});

<div id="search_results"></div>

</div>
You are using form so you need to return true or false on validate action so your code should be like
if (str.match(/^[0-9]*$/)) {
$('#search-form').tooltip({title="You did good :)"});
return true;
}
else
{
$('#search-form').tooltip({title="Please enter numbers ONLY !"});
return false;
}
are you initialising the tooltip in the js? - tooltips won't show unless you have this in the code:
$(function(){
$("[data-toggle=tooltip]").tooltip();
})
ok - I just looked at your code - you have :
$('.btn').tooltip();
listed in theree, but your button has the class "btntxt" and you are also trying to get a tooltip on the search form - but that has the id of "search-form" - neither of which will be affected by your tooltip declaration. Best to use the one I gave in the is post so that all elements with tooltips can display them. Setting them to individual classes or ids is too restrictive if you forget that your class or id is not the same as the one listed in the js.
you have this order to your scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/tooltip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
Does the tooltip.js require jquery? - if so you may need to invert that order
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/tooltip.js"></script>
I have created a html webpage here:
http://diagrams.inse1d.info/wbt.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>WBT Charts</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="wbt.css">
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<p>Press enter to save amendments</p>
<h1>Title of wbt:<input type="text" id="wbtTitle" /></h1>
<div id="graph">
<p>Graph to go here</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Notes: </strong></p>
<p><span><input type="textarea" id="wbtNote" /></span></p>
</div>
</article>
</section>
<button>Add New WBT Chart</button>
</body>
Here is the jQuery code I wrote:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("h1").keypress(function(e) {
//get
wbtTitle = $('#wbtTitle').val();
// Write text after enter
if (e.which == 13) {
$("h1").text(wbtTitle);
}
});
$("span").keypress(function(e) {
//get
wbtNote = $('#wbtNote').val();
// Write note after enter
if (e.which == 13) {
$("span").text(wbtNote);
}
});
//Insert new WBT on button click
$("button").each(function() {
$(this).click(function() {
var wbtSet = $( "article" ).html();
$(wbtSet).insertAfter('section');
});
});
});
What I want to do is set the title and some note text using input boxes which works using jQuery. I then want to add a copy of the html into another article when the button is pressed without copying the inputs previously made with the possibility of setting new values when the article is cloned. The process should repeat over and over again.
Here is an image to help explain:
I am quite new to jQuery, I think you need to use a loop to fix this, I read that a .each() can be used http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/ but not quite sure.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I think I got your answer.
I changed the html a bit, because you duplicated some id's with your approach, that's not good. id's have to be unique on a page. I simply changed them to classes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>WBT Charts</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="wbt.css">

<h1>Title of wbt:<input type="text" class="wbtTitle" /></h1>
<div class="graph">
<p>Graph to go here</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Notes: </strong></p>
<p><span><input type="textarea" class="wbtNote" /></span></p>
</div>
</article>
</section>
<button>Add New WBT Chart</button>
</body>
And of course the jQuery. I got rid of your first two functions because they had no purpose in this context.
$(document).ready(function() {
//Insert new WBT on button click
$("button").on('click', function() {
var title = $(this).prev().find('.wbtTitle').val();
var note = $(this).prev().find('.wbtNote').val();
var wbtSet = $(this).prev("section").html();
$(this).prev().find('.wbtTitle').replaceWith(title);
$(this).prev().find('.wbtNote').replaceWith(note);
$(this).prev("section").after('<section>' + wbtSet + '</section>');
});
});
Here is a working fiddel
Fixing the answer given by hitokun_s
window.onload = function() {
// Save a copy of the element wbtSet element on pageload
var wbtSet = $("article").clone();
$("button").each(function() {
$(this).click(function() {
// Append a new one to the holder of the wbSets
$(wbtSet).appendTo($('section'));
});
});
}
I think this is what you want to do.
window.onload = function() {
$("button").each(function() {
$(this).click(function() {
var wbtSet = $("article:first-child").clone();
wbtSet.find("input").val("");
$(wbtSet).appendTo($('section'));
});
});
}
I'm making a prototype for a chat client. At this stage, I'm just learning how to append the user's input to the text area above. However, no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work. The only time it actually functioned correctly was in jsfiddle, but I can't get it to work when I load my actual HTML page.
It's worth mentioning that, at the advice of a tutorial, I already tried placing the script tag for my JQuery code at the end of the body instead of in the head. The tutorial said that it was essential for all elements be allowed to load before the JQuery code, so that's the way it had to be. As you can see below, the script tags are currently in the head, but that doesn't work either.

Chat.js
function sendText(){
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#send').click(function () {
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').val($('#textArea').val() + text);
$('#textField').val('');
});
});
}
Don't wrap document ready handler inside sendText() function, use that instead:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#send').click(sendText);
});
function sendText(){
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').val($('#textArea').val() + text);
$('#textField').val('');
}
Well, it work if you change your button to submit type and bind the event to form submit:
$('#in').submit(function () {
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').val($('#textArea').val() + text);
$('#textField').val('');
return false;
});
http://jsfiddle.net/AztSB/
This seems to work for me:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ChatStyle.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#send').click(function () {
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').html($('#textArea').html() + text);
$('#textField').val('');
});
});
</script>

<form ID="in">
<input ID="textField" type="text">
<input ID="send" type="button" name="Send" value="send"/>
</form>
</div>

</html>
Just don't wrap it in your function sendText:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#send').click(function () {
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').val($('#textArea').val() + text);
$('#textField').val('');
});
});
You dont need to put it in a function. You can just leave it to Jquery :)
Your stuff in a FIDDLE to see
Jquery:
$('#send').click(function () {
var text = $('#textField').val();
$('#textArea').append(text);
$('#textField').val('');
});
UPDATE
Use append() to update the textarea with new text!
It always seems to be a problem and I fail to see why, I'm trying to change element p text by using his ID, element p id="para1" is inside PostEditor.html:
The elementID I want to change is para1 in the following html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Editor</title>
<link href="styles/editor.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="scripts/mainScript.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Input fields -->
<div class="center">
<form id=caller method="post">
<p id="para1" class="text"><Strong>Post your message</Strong></p>
<textarea id="textEditor" rows="16" cols="34" name="content"></textarea>
<input type="submit" onclick="urlLoader('caller','posthandler.php')" value="Post">
</form>
</div>
<!-- end Input fields -->
</body>
</html>
The following function is issued by a click on a link inside index.html and displaying the page you are seeing above and is then supposed to change its content:
From index.html I issue the function from link:
<a onclick="postEditing()"> Edit</a>
This line issue the following function:
function postEditing()
{
var result = window.open('PostEditor.html', 'newwindow', 'width=350,' + 'height=350');
result.document.getElementById("para1").innerHTML = "11111111111";
result.document.getElementById("para1").innerText = "11111111111";
result.document.getElementById("para1").value = "11111111111";
}
As you can see I tried three methods. I'd never understand what is the difference between them, but I tried all three and none worked!
It's because you're searching the document of the window which shows the index.html, not the document of the newly opened window. try following:
...
var editorWindow = window.open('PostEditor.html', 'newwindow', 'width=350,' + 'height=350');
editorWindow.document.getElementById("para1").innerHTML = "11111111111";
...
EDIT:
NOW i see the problem: in the function you're trying to access a property of the parameter element, but you don't pass a value for it. So this will end in an error because the accessed object is undefinded!
So you have three options to get it working:
test the parameter (always a good idea): var ID = null; if(element) ID = element.id;
pass a value: <a onclick="postEditing(this)"> Edit</a>
remove the line var ID = element.id;
SOLUTION: (TESTED)
I could not really say why, but the index.html found the para1 and can successfully set the new text. But somehow the new window will reinitialize the old value again.
So you have to do the changing in an handler you run at onLoad:
index.html:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function postEditing() {
var result = window.open('PostEditor.html', 'newwindow', 'width=350,' + 'height=350');
result.onload = function() {
result.document.getElementById("para1").innerHTML = "11111111111";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a onclick="postEditing()"> Edit</a>
</body>
</html>
PostEditor.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Editor</title>
<link href="styles/editor.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="scripts/mainScript.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Input fields -->
<div class="center">
<form id=caller method="post">
<p id="para1" class="text"><Strong>Post your message</Strong></p>
<textarea id="textEditor" rows="16" cols="34" name="content"></textarea>
<input type="submit" onclick="urlLoader('caller','posthandler.php')" value="Post">
</form>
</div>
<!-- end Input fields -->
</body>
</html>
I'm fairly sure you will need to query the return result of calling window.open like this:
function postEditing(element)
{
var ID = element.id;
var result = window.open('PostEditor.html', 'newwindow', 'width=350,' + 'height=350');
result.getElementById("para1").innerHTML = "11111111111";
result.getElementById("para1").innerText = "11111111111";
result.getElementById("para1").value = "11111111111";
}
[Untested though]
Your button type is submit, which is posting the form. The object is changing in the DOM, only after the script runs, the DOM is reloaded back to it's original state. Try changing your button type to "button", and you should see the P element change appropriately.
Edit: Here's the HTML I used to determine the above. Keeping the button as "submit" caused me to see the text change and then swap back. The HTML below should keep the text in place. HTH!
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Editor</title>
<script>
function postEditing(element)
{
document.getElementById('para1').innerHTML = "asdafs";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Input fields -->
<div class="center">
<form id=caller method="post">
<p id="para1" class="text"><Strong>Post your message</Strong></p>
<textarea id="textEditor" rows="16" cols="34" name="content"></textarea>
<input type="button" onclick="postEditing('caller')" value="Post">
</form>
