I apologize in advance if I'm vague or my code is difficult to understand, I'm still learning this stuff. I'm trying to display information that is stored within an array. I want to display this information when a button is clicked and when it is clicked again, the next index in the array displays its information..
I need help setting up a function that advances to the next index of the array. Thanks!
(function(){
var students =[ //array of information
{name:'john',
address:{
address:'821 Imaginary St',
city:'Chicago',
state:'Il'},
gpa:[4.0,3.5,3.8]},
{name:'jim',
address:{
address:'127 fake Rd',
city:'Orlando',
state:'Fl'},
gpa:[2.5,3.3,3.6]}];
var redBut = document.querySelector('.buttonred');
redBut.onclick = getInfo;
var count = 0;
function getInfo(){
var stn = students[0];
if(count<3){
count++;
document.getElementById('name').innerHTML = 'Name: ' + stn.name; //this is what is to be displayed when the button is clicked
document.getElementById('address').innerHTML = 'Address: ' + stn.address.address + " " + stn.address.city + ", " + stn.address.state;
document.getElementById('gpa').innerHTML = 'GPA: ' + stn.gpa[0] +", " + stn.gpa[1] + ", " + stn.gpa[2];
document.getElementById('date').innerHTML = 'Date: ' + d.toLocaleDateString();
document.getElementById('gpaavg').innerHTML = 'Average GPA: ' + gpas;
}
}
I think you want: var stn = students[count];
And not: var stn = students[0];
(DOH!)

I am making a food delivery app. I would like that there would be a place whereby it would display the total. Right now, I am unable to display the total amount from multiplying quantity and price. It does not show up on the app.
And, there are no errors on the console too.
Javascript Code:
function _showorderResult(arr) {
var value1 = arr[0].price;
var value2 = arr[0].quantity;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
result = value1 * value2;
htmlstring = "";
$("#itemimage").html("<img src='" + serverURL() + "/images/" +
arr[i].imagefile + "' width='200'>");
$("#price").html("Price" + ": " + " $" + arr[i].price);
$("#itemname").html("Item" + ":" + arr[i].itemName);
$("#quantity").html("Quanitiy" + ":" + arr[i].quantity);
$("result").append(htmlstring);
$("#requestedDateTime").html("To delivery by" + ":" + arr[i].requestedDateTime);
$("#deliveredDateTime").html("Delivered on" + ":" + arr[i].deliveredDateTime)
}
}
And, there are no errors on the console too.
There were plenty of errors in my console, but there are several mistakes here. The first is that your code is not runnable. Please consider making a minimal, verifiable example.
Next, you are misusing or not properly formatting the append(...) function. That's intended to append HTML elements, not string values.
As the comments suggest, you seem to have confused var result and $("result"). If you're not using the DOM selector, you probably don't want to jQuery-wrap your variables. The proper jQuery-wrap syntax would have been $(result) without the double quotes, but please don't do that either, it doesn't offer any benefit over just var result. htmlstring doesn't contain any actual HTML, so I've renamed it runningTotal instead and add it to the price * quantity. This must be initialized first or you'll get NaN.
Make sure to initialize your variables. To this point, there's some hard-coded indexes such as value1 = arr[0].price which make no sense in this pasted code. We can assume you left these here after troubleshooting. Please clean them up next time.
Finally, this is minor, but be consistent with your object names... e.g. imagefile versus imageFile. It doesn't matter which you choose so as long as you're consistent. This will help find typos down the road.
Here's a working example:
<html>
<img src="" id="itemimage">
<p id="price">Price: $0.00</p>
<p id="itemname">Item: None</p>
<p id="quantity">Quantity: None</p>
<p id="result">Running: None</p>
<p id="requestedDateTime">To delivery by: None</p>
<p id="deliveredDateTime">Delivered on: None</p>
<script>
var order = [{
price: 5,
quantity: 3,
itemName: 'Pizza',
imagefile: 'pizza.png',
requestedDateTime: '12:00',
deliveredDateTime: '12:30'
}];
/** Dummy function to allow code to run **/
var serverURL = function() { return ""; }
function _showorderResult(arr) {
// var value1 = arr[0].price;
// var value2 = arr[0].quantity;
var result;
var runningTotal = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
result = arr[i].price * arr[i].quantity;
runningTotal += result;
$("#itemimage").html("<img src='" + serverURL() + "/images/" + arr[i].imagefile + "' width='200'>");
$("#price").html("Price" + ": " + " $" + arr[i].price);
$("#itemname").html("Item" + ":" + arr[i].itemName);
$("#quantity").html("Quanitiy" + ":" + arr[i].quantity);
$("#result").html("Running" + ":" + runningTotal);
$("#requestedDateTime").html("To delivery by" + ":" + arr[i].requestedDateTime);
$("#deliveredDateTime").html("Delivered on" + ":" + arr[i].deliveredDateTime);
}
}
_showorderResult(order);
</script>
</html>
The issue is: I can't find a way to return the value for 'Course' because each form submission generates a new row where the name of the course is spread over columns E to M (column 4 through 12).
In each row, there is only one 'Course' name in one of the columns from E to M (e.g only in F) and all other columns are blank. (Users can only select one course and all the other columns will be blank. I have to categorize the courses into the 9 columns because of the page breaks in order to split the sheer number of options that users select the course from.) How do I return the value of the only non blank cell from E to M which will be entered in the email ?
I was advised to insert the entire findCourse function inside of the sendEmail function before any of the other code. I did so but I have still been receiving failure notifications of the Google App Scripts: TypeError: Cannot read property "values" from undefined. (line 14, file "Code") (referring to var value = e.values[i])
The full code below:
function sendEmail(e) {
function findCourse (e){
var courseToTake;
//loop through values
for ( var i = 4; i <=12; i ++){
//pull value into variable
var value = e.values[i];
if (value != undefined){
//if we find an actual string value, set the course to take variable
courseToTake = value;
}
}
return courseToTake;
}
var Name = e.namedValues["Full name as appear in NRIC"];
var Course = findCourse();
var Start = e.values[14];
var End = e.values[15];
var StartTime = e.values[24];
var EndTime = e.values[25];
var Details = e.values[13];
var Cost = e.values[17];
var Email = e.values[18];
var ROname = e.values[19];
var ROemail = e.values[20];
var Location = e.values[23];
var subject = "Training Approval Request for " + Course;
var message = "<p >" + "Dear " + ROname + "<p />"
+ Name + " seeks your approval to attend the " + Course + ". The details are as follow:"
+ "<p >" + "<b>Date:</b> " + Start + " - " + End + " <br />"
+ "<b>Time:</b> " + StartTime + " - " + EndTime + " <br />"
+ "<b>Location:</b> " + Location + " <br />"
+ "<b>Course objectives and benefits:</b> " + Details + " <br />"
+ "<b>Course fees:</b> " + "$" + Cost + " <br />" + "<p />"
+ "Please reply directly to this email for your approval or if you have any questions/comments. Thank you. "
MailApp.sendEmail(ROemail, Email, subject, message);
}
After rearranging findCourse as its own function: sorry if I made any mistakes here but i'll try my best to follow all suggestions. If i've added in Logger.log(e) correctly, both functions seem to be undefined
function sendEmail(e) {
Logger.log(e);
var Name = e.values[2];
var Course = findCourse();
var Start = e.values[14];
var End = e.values[15];
var StartTime = e.values[24];
var EndTime = e.values[25];
var Details = e.values[13];
var Cost = e.values[17];
var Email = e.values[18];
var ROname = e.values[19];
var ROemail = e.values[20];
var Location = e.values[23];
var subject = "Training Approval Request for " + Course;
var message = "<p >" + "Dear " + ROname + "<p />"
+ Name + " seeks your approval to attend the " + Course + ". The details are as follow:"
+ "<p >" + "<b>Date:</b> " + Start + " - " + End + " <br />"

+ "<b>Course fees:</b> " + "$" + Cost + " <br />" + "<p />"
+ "Please reply directly to this email for your approval or if you have any questions/comments. Thank you. "
MailApp.sendEmail(ROemail, Email, subject, message);
}
function findCourse (e){
var courseToTake;
//loop through values
for ( var i = 4; i <=12; i ++){
//pull value into variable
var value = e.values[i];
if (value != undefined){
//if we find an actual string value, set the course to take variable
courseToTake = value;
}
}
return courseToTake;
var courseToTake = findCourse(e);
Logger.log(e);
}
I will really deeply appreciate any help or alternative solutions here.
Thank you!
What I changed in your code to address your question:
I assigned the onFormSubmit trigger to your sendEmail function so the event object would no longer be undefined
I added a call to findCourse() so your course variable would no longer be undefined
I fixed the undefined check by changing if(value != undefined) to if(typeof value !== 'undefined')
I added a check for a blank value (This was the important bit in the logic after the faulty undefined check) if(value != '')
Explanation:
To trigger the event, an installable trigger needs to be setup for the On Form Submit event that points to your sendEmail function. This can be found in Resources -> Current Project Triggers
To retrieve the course, you need to call your function findCourse() and pass in the e event object. Example: var course = findCourse(e);. This will assign the return value from findCourse(e); to the course variable. You can then use this variable like normal within the rest of your statements.
When checking for undefined, you need to use typeof and then check for the string of 'undefined', or your check will ironically throw an undefined exception.
The values of the form submit should not be undefined, blank values should just be blank strings. so checking for non-blank strings was necessary to get the course name from the values array.
Fixed Code:
function sendEmail(e) {
Logger.log(e)
var course = findCourse(e);
var Name = e.values[19];
var Start = e.values[12];
var End = e.values[14];
var StartTime = e.values[13];
var EndTime = e.values[15];
var Details = e.values[11];
var Cost = e.values[17];
var Email = e.values[20];
var ROname = e.values[21];
var ROemail = e.values[22];
var Location = e.values[16];
var subject = "Training Approval Request for " + course;
var message = "<p >" + "Dear " + ROname + "<p />"
+ Name + " seeks your approval to attend the " + course + ". The details are as follow:"
+ "<p >" + "<b>Date:</b> " + Start + " - " + End + " <br />"
+ "<b>Time:</b> " + StartTime + " - " + EndTime + " <br />"
+ "<b>Location:</b> " + Location + " <br />"
+ "<b>Course objectives and benefits:</b> " + Details + " <br />"
+ "<b>Course fees:</b> " + "$" + Cost + " <br />" + "<p />"
+ "Please reply directly to this email for your approval or if you have any questions/comments. Thank you. "
MailApp.sendEmail(ROemail, Email+";" + "redactedEmail", subject, message);
}
function findCourse (e){
var courseToTake;
//loop through values
for ( var i = 2; i <=10; i ++){
//pull value into variable
var value = e.values[i];
if (typeof value !== 'undefined'){ //If value is defined
if(value != ''){ //If value is not blank
//if we find an actual non-blank string value, set the course to take variable
courseToTake = value;
}
}
}
return courseToTake;
}
I'm trying to essentially set up a button that will either copy a bunch of text that will get output to a document.getelementbyid output to help me out while at work. This is what I have so far for the output and everything works, but would love to have a button that will automatically highlight everything taken from all my input fields.
function display(){
var caller = document.getElementById("form1").value;
var ctn = document.getElementById("form2").value;
var fan = document.getElementById("form3").value;
var business = document.getElementById("form4").value;
var requestor = document.getElementById("form5").value;
var reason = document.getElementById("form6").value;
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "form1: " + form1 + "<br>form2: " + form2 + "<br>form3: " + form3 + "<br>form4: " + form4 + "<br>form5: " + form5 + "<br>form6: " + form6;
}
This feeds data from my input fields at the top (naturally they have different names and labels in the document, just can't copy anything proprietary here). The below codes are the button code and the paragraph code to display it when I click so that it appears on the page for me to select.
<button onclick="display();" style="width: 50px; background-color:#3ea055">Submit</button>
<p id="output"></p>
I've tried several different snippets of code online to get it to either select or copy or whatever, and it isn't working.
you dont have variables named form1 form2 etc., in the output area I've changed the values to your variable names try this
function display(){
var caller = document.getElementById("form1").value;
var ctn = document.getElementById("form2").value;
var fan = document.getElementById("form3").value;
var business = document.getElementById("form4").value;
var requestor = document.getElementById("form5").value;
var reason = document.getElementById("form6").value;
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "form1: " + caller + "<br>form2: " + ctn + "<br>form3: " + fan + "<br>form4: " + form4 + "<br>form5: " + requestor + "<br>form6: " + form6;
}
In the line where you print the values to the output element you need to use the variables you just filled.
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "form1: " + caller + "<br>form2: " + ctn+ "<br>form3: " + fan + "<br>form4: " + business + "<br>form5: " + requestor + "<br>form6: " + reason;
Hi everybody this code is used to have a list name and id of facebook friends or invited friends if executed on friend list page. I'm trying to count the character of a string in javascript but .length method return always 1. I don't understand why cause I'm counting on a string not an array.
this is my code:
var name_list;
var id_list;
var count_letter_l;
var count_name = 0;
var count_id = 0;
var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_2akq _1box');
for(var i=0;i<inputs.length;i++){
var name = inputs[i].getElementsByTagName('span')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var full_id = inputs[i].getAttribute("data-reactid");
var split_id = full_id.split(':');
var split_two = split_id[1].split('.');
var split_final = split_two[0];
var count_letter = split_final.length;
//console.log(count_letter);
if(name != 'null'){
name_list+= ',' + '"' + name + '"';
id_list += ',' + '"' + split_final + '"';
count_letter_l += ',' + '"' + count_letter + '"';
count_name++;
count_id++;
}
}
console.log(name_list);
console.log('------!!!!!!!!------');
console.log(id_list);
console.log('names = ' + count_name);
console.log('id = ' + count_id);
console.log('letters for esch field = ' + count_letter_l);
I wish to count the character of every id cause in my case when I grab the ids I have some "0" and "1" in the and of the list. I don't know why and I wish to cut them out of the list.
This is an element of _2akq _1box class. you can see it if open firefox firbug and look at facebook front-end html code while you are displaying the friends list
<span class="_2akq _1box" data-reactid=".5q.2.0.0.0.0:0:1:$1543522353.0.0.$2.$text.0.0">
<span data-reactid=".5q.2.0.0.0.0:0:1:$1543522353.0.0.$2.$text.0.0.0">Laura Casali</span>
</span>
the console tell me:
letters for esch field = undefined,"1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1".....
tnx for help
Is this the optimal way to load form data into a string and then to localStorage ?
I came up with this on my own, and I am not good in programming. It works, for what I need, but I am not sure if it's a bulletproof code?
<script>
var sg = document.getElementById("selectedGateway");
var sd = document.getElementById("selectedDestination");
var dm = document.getElementById("departureMonth");
var dd = document.getElementById("departureDay");
var dy = document.getElementById("departureYear");
var rm = document.getElementById("returnMonth");
var rd = document.getElementById("returnDay");
var ry = document.getElementById("returnYear");
var ad = document.getElementById("adults");
var ch = document.getElementById("option2");
$("#searchRequestForm").submit(function() {
var string = 'From: ' + sg.value + ' \nTo: ' + sd.value + ' \nDeparture: ' + dm.value + '/' + dd.value + '/' + dy.value + ' \nReturn: ' + rm.value + '/' + rd.value + '/' + ry.value + ' \nNumber of adults: ' + ad.value + ' \nNumber of children: ' + ch.value;
localStorage.setItem("string", string);
});
</script>
I would use something like the following so that I could deal with an object and its properties rather than a big string. Note that other than the jQuery selectors, this is pure JavaScript.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/grTWc/1/
var data = {
sg: $("#selectedGateway").val(),
sd: $("#selectedDestination").val()
// items here
};
localStorage.setItem("mykey", JSON.stringify(data));
To retrieve the data:
var data = JSON.parse(localStorage["mykey"]);
alert(data.sg);
See Also:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseJSON/
I prefer a table driven approach so there is no repeated code (DRY):
var ids = [
"selectedGateway", "From: ",
"selectedDestination", "\nTo :",
"departureMonth", "\nDeparture: ",
"departureDay", "/",
"departureYear", "/",
"returnMonth", " \nReturn: ",
"returnDay", "/",
"returnYear", "/",
"adults", " \nNumber of adults: ",
"option2", " \nNumber of children: "];
var submitStr = "";
for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i+=2) {
submitStr += ids[i+1] + document.getElementById(ids[i]).value;
}
localStorage.setItem("string", submitStr);
You could define a function such as the one below to directly get the values by id so then it would be simpler when you build your string.
function form(id) {
return document.getElementById(id).value;
}
