I would first like to state that I started learning HTML 5 days ago, and therefore I am very new to everything.
I am trying to implement the code given here: http://jsfiddle.net/NFXzn/9/.
But for some reason the dropdown menu is blank. I have uploaded my code here: http://gbrowse2014.biology.gatech.edu/viru.html
Since I did not make the code, I am assuming the problems lies with how I implemented the code (specifically the javascript). I have narrowed the problem down to one particular function:
$.each(g_Vehicle, function(index) {
var iYear = g_Vehicle[index].Year;
if ($.inArray(iYear, g_YearsArray) == -1) {
g_YearsArray.push(iYear);
}
});
I am using firefox, and I have gone through www.w3schools.com to look for implementation tips, but I have not corrected the problem.
On a sidenote, does anyone know how to change the code to use the dropdown-checkboxes instead of the dropboxes?
That loop is working fine. The problem is that you're running the code before your select is loaded, so nothing is being appended to the page. Either wrap your code in $(document).ready( function() { ... });, or move your <script> blocks to the bottom of the page (after the HTML has completely loaded).
http://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/
(On the top-left corner of the jsFiddle page, you'll see a dropdown which displays onLoad -- which is automatically doing that job for you. Your page as it stands is the equivalent of No wrap - in <head> -- not what you want.)

I have a problem with FullPage JS, and I come to ask for help :)
My problem is: I want to disable FullPage for a single page of my Website.
FullPage is made for little page, but my website has 1 long page, where I want to disable FullPage.
The file has the .ejs extension, instead of .html extension. The pages are in different EJS file.
I searched on the FullPage's Github, and it indicates me the destroy('all') method, but I've found a lot of way to write it, I tried 3 methods, and I don't know why, it doesn't work.
Does any of you know how to disable FullPage JS on a single page of the Website ?
I tried 3 methods.
1st Method tried:
document.querySelector('#destroy').addEventListener('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
fullpage_api.destroy('all');
});
2nd Method:
$('#destroy').click(function () {
$.fn.fullpage.destroy('all');
});
3rd Method:
function DestroyFullPage() { //default is 700.
$.fn.fullpage.destroy('all');
}
As Alvaro suggested, I tried something like this:
<script>
window.onload = function() {
alert('Ready ?');
fullpage_api.destroy('all');
alert('Done');
}
</script>
The first alert works fine, but the second never appear on my screen, and FullPage isn't destroyed.
Am I wrong in my syntax ?
Thanks
PS: Excuse my English, I'm french, but at least, I try :D
If you wonder how to use the destroy function, you can check the demo provided on the fullPage.js docs:
https://codepen.io/alvarotrigo/pen/bdxBzv
Which basically uses fullpage.js version 3 (no jQuery required) to do so:
fullpage_api.destroy('all');
There's no difference at all between your 2nd method and the 3rd one. In fact, 3rd method won't work until you call the DestroyFullPage somewhere else.
And the 1st one should only be used when initialising fullPage.js with jQuery. So, using $('#fullpage').fullpage(options) instead of new fullpage('#fullpage', options);
I purchased a html5 theme that I am customizing for my church website. It has two cool features:
A tab script that allows for multiple items to displayed on one page.
a grid that will allow me to display sermons in a series in a neat and orderly way.
Both of these work well when used alone, but when I try to use the grid inside the tabs, no dice.
I am a design guy and know very little about Javascript functions and need help. Here is what the developer, who has not got back with me said to do:
"The grid function is built to run on page load and when you put it inside a tab it doesn’t initialize on page load so don’t work when you change tabs. A custom function needs to be built for this which will run the isotope grid on tabs change. Like:"
$(".nav-tabs li")click(function(e){
ADORE.IsoTope();
e.preventDefault();
}
I do not know where to add this or even if something else needs to be added. I have also attached a link where you can download my code (html/php and .js file) so you can see what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Remember, I know very little about Javascript.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jypfjz3a89soxh7/example.zip?dl=0
Add:
$(".nav-tabs li a").click(function(e){
$('a[href="' + $(this).attr('href') + '"]').tab('show');
var IsoTopeCont = $(".isotope-grid");
IsoTopeCont.isotope({
itemSelector: ".grid-item",
layoutMode: 'sloppyMasonry'
});
});
at Line 469 of your init.js and it should work for you. Thanks
You can try the following: inside your init.js add the following:
$(".nav-tabs li").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
ADORE.IsoTope();
});
e.g. in the first line after var ADORE = window.ADORE || {};
As you mentioned that you don't know much about javascript: the first line starts with
jQuery(function($){ ...
This takes care about that everything inside the { will get executed when jQuery is loaded.
I'm not sure if the e.preventDefault(); is necessary - this is used e.g. to prevent links from getting executed and attach a different function to the click() event, so it could be possible that Isotope is working when a tab is clicked, but the tab is not working anymore.
If this won't work, you can check with web dev tools if there are any script errors. In case you're unfamiliar with web dev tools, find some details for Firefox here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console and for Chrome here: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console
I'm sure the title looks like something that's been asked before but I've searched for the answer to this and I can't find it.
I'm really very new to coding, so please excuse any really obvious mistakes I've made.
Context to the code I'm working on: I'm in a Game Design class and I've decided to take up a personal project making an HTML JS game.
I understand that the code is possibly rough / bad / definitely-not-the-best-way-to-do-things, but it will continue to be so until I improve my skills (or am given advice on how to improve it).
What I need help with: For two to three weeks, I could not figure out how to get a button to appear when implemented inside of an if else statement.
Like so:
if(condition)
{
document.write("text");
//desired button here
}
else
{
//Backup code
}
Eventually I figured two ways to do that (for Chrome and Internet Explorer).
First way:
function myFunction()
{
document.close();
document.write("text");
/* There will be buttons in here
too when I get things working. */
}
//In separate script tags
/* myFunction() dwells in the head of the
page while the if statement is in the body
and another function*/
if(condition)
{
document.write("text");
var gameElement=document.createElement("BUTTON");
var text=document.createTextNode("CLICK ME");
gameElement.appendChild(text);
gameElement.onclick = myFunction;
document.body.appendChild(gameElement);
}
else
{
//Backup code
}
The second way:
(The same function, they're both in the same places).
if(condition)
{
document.write("text");
var gameElement;
gameElement = document.createElement('input');
gameElement.id = 'gameButton';
gameElement.type = 'button';
gameElement.value='Continue';
gameElement.onclick = myFunction;
document.body.appendChild(gameElement);
}
This works well for me.
And while it works in IE and Chrome fine, it doesn't work in Firefox.
After how much time and research I've put into just this button, I'd love to know why it won't show up in Firefox. I've read a lot about Firefox and how .onclick won't work or something like JavaScript has to be enabled or disabled. I'm just a bit confused.
I'm also open any real / relevant advice.
I set up this fiddle. I removed your document.write() calls because they're disallowed in JSFiddle, and change your condition to true so the code would work, and it works in FF24.
document.write() might be the cause of your problem. It's bad practice anyway because it can cause a re-parse of a document, or wipe the entire document and start writing it again. You're already using some DOM manipulation to add the button. I suggest you do likewise for anything you're considering using document.write() for.
Instead of suggesting a solution to your problem, I would suggest you take a look at jQuery, which is a very nice JavaScript framework, that makes it possible for you to write cross-browser compatible code, which it seems is your problem here.
Using jQuery, you would be able to write something like:
$("#gameButton").click(function() { myFunction(); }
which would trigger your myFunction() function, when the control with the id 'gameButton' is clicked.

I have added this code to my site (without all the stuff to set up the comments and headers): http://jsfiddle.net/WzLG2/3/ Below is the javascript.
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var top = jQuery('#smi').offset().top - parseFloat(jQuery('#smi').css('margin-top').replace(/auto/, 0));
jQuery(window).scroll(function (event) {
// what the y position of the scroll is
var y = jQuery(this).scrollTop();
// whether that's below the form
if (y >= top) {
// if so, ad the fixed class
jQuery('#smi').addClass('fixed');
} else {
// otherwise remove it
jQuery('#smi').removeClass('fixed');
}
});
});

I'm trying to get the brown box underneath my header to scroll to the top and then stop there like in the jsfiddle. I'm using thesis and I have jquery enabled. I have wordpress and I already looked up how to use jquery in wordpress with replacing $ with jQuery.
I got the basis for the code from this site: Jquery for designers (it won't let me post the link)
I tested and jquery appears to be loading, I used firebug and I'm not seeing errors that pertain to this code (it looks like some plugins may have errors, however). I'm pretty new at coding so I'm not sure what else to test or how to troubleshoot much past this. My end goal is to use this for my social media icons instead of the tabs on the side. Any guidance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
First step is to check your javascript console and remove any errors you see coming up there, as they can cause problems elsewhere. Not saying it's related, but your call to jQuery('#commentluv') is broken. I also notice you're using jQuery 1.4.2 which is really old, and should consider upgrading (maybe not to version 2 as that changed a lot, but at least to 1.9, maybe 1.10).
I'm writing a Ruby on Rails app. The following jQuery code is included in the head tag of the index.html.erb file, which is the template for all pages on the site.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#select_mailshot").click(function () {
alert('mailshot');
document.location.href = "/products/1";
});
$("#select_blog").click(function () {
alert('blog');
document.location.href = "/messages";
});
$("#select_contact").click(function () {
alert('contact');
document.location.href = "/contacts/1";
});
});
</script>
(the alert steps are in there for debugging)
The following html code in index.html.erb
<ul>
<li id="select_mailshot">Mailshot</li>
<li id="select_blog">Blog</li>
<li id="select_contact">Contact us</li>
</ul>
The intention is that this effectively creates 3 buttons.
When clicking on any button from http://myurl.com/ it all works.
When clicking on any button from http://myurl.com/messages (get to this via the middle button) it all works
When starting from http://myurl.com/products/1 it all stops working (the alerts do not trigger). In fact when starting from http://myurl.com/anything/id it stops working.
I've been trying to solve this for hours now and the only difference between the working and non-working conditions is the url as far as I can see.
Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on here?
What does firebug tell you? Do you have javascript errors on the page? if so, what are they? Are you sure the jQuery library is included correctly in the deeper pages ( i.e. is it a relative path? )
Is this javascript inlined?
If not, then maybe the link is relative so when you try to load it from messages/40 you need ../script.js. Another solution is to use absolute URLs (http://myurl/script.js) or virtual (/script.js).
Thanks to cherouvim and digitaljoel.
This was due to javascript files being included relative to the current URL.
The following was included in the head tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
I changed it to
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
(note the extra "/" in the src attribute) and everything works as expected.
I worked this out after checking the error logs on the server and in the browser.
Feeling a little dumb but a lesson well learned.
I was using FaceBox to create modal overlays and I couldn't figure out why I was having the same problem.
I turns out that the listener wasn't being attached to HTML elements until it was visible. (The items were available if I viewed source, but jQuery seemed not to attach a listener until it was visible.)
For anyone having the same problem, I'd suggest moving your click() code to a point where the HTML element you're attaching to is visible.
Also, I've found selecting by ID does give more problems than class. I have no idea why. (No, there were not duplicate IDs.)
Hope this helps someone with the same problem!
