Pass 2 Functions Through One OnChange Event - With HREF on both Functions

I have asked something similar in the past but was able to resolve it by separating the functions by events. I need to be able to pass 2 href events in one Onchange Event because it is a dropdown, OR I need to be able to tie the second function into another Event.
This works only when an alert() is inserted. Once I take the alert() out it does not work. I've tried to supress the alert while still keeping it in the code and it works fine. I do not want the alert but I want the results.
HTML Here:
<select id="PartList" class="form-control form-control-lg ml-0" onChange="SelectMain();">
JavaScript Here
function sList() {
var pl = document.getElementById("PartList");
var value = pl.options[pl.selectedIndex].value;
var text = pl.options[pl.selectedIndex].text;
str = 'URL1 HERE='+ "'" + text + "'" ;
//alert(value);
//alert(text);
window.location.href = str;
}
function SelectValue() {
var pv = document.getElementById("PartList");
var value = pv.options[pv.selectedIndex].value;
str = 'URL2 HERE' + value ;
alert(value);
window.location.href = str;
}
function SelectMain() {
sList();
SelectValue();
}
function alert(message) {
console.info(message);
}

This is resolved, for those that come to this question. The problem wasn't with the JavaScript it was because the device I was sending the commands to couldn't handle the commands that fast. I have incorporated the resolved code with troubleshooting techniques.
function sList() {
var pl = document.getElementById("PartList");
var value = pl.options[pl.selectedIndex].value;
var text = pl.options[pl.selectedIndex].text;
str = 'URL1='+ "'" + text + "'" ;
//str1 = 'http://google.com';
//alert(value);
//alert(text);
window.location.href = str;
//window.open(str1);
}
function SelectValue() {
setTimeout(function(){
var pv = document.getElementById("PartList");
var value = pv.options[pv.selectedIndex].value;
str = 'URL2=' + value ;
//str1 = 'http://aol.com';
//alert(value);
window.location.href = str;
//window.open(str1);
},1000);
}

Having trouble appending javascript into my html

OK,so I am trying to pull some data from an api. The problem that I have run into is that I am able to find out the information that I am looking for, but am having trouble getting that information out of the console and onto my main index.html page.
Here is my JS code
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
$.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
console.log(info);
});
});
});
Here is my html code
<div id="search">
<h1>API Test</h1>
<input type="search" id="search-keyword">
<button id="myBtn">Try it</button>
</div>
<div id="results"></div>
By doing this, I am able to get pretty much what I am looking for. However I cannot get the data from the console to the actual page.
I have tried appendChild
var bob = document.getElementById(results);
var content = document.createTextNode(info);
bob.appendChild(info);
I have tried innerHTML
var theDiv = document.getElementById(results);
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
..and I have tried .append()
$('#myBtn').click(function() {
$(results).append(info)
})
I'm out of ideas. I realize that I probably have a small problem somewhere else that I am not seeing that is probably the root of this. Much thanks to anyone who can help me with this issue.

"results" needs to be in quotes with regular javascript and for jquery you have already decalred the results variable.
var theDiv = document.getElementById("results");
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
$('#myBtn').click(function(){
results.append(info)
})
Also since you are declaring results outside of your document ready call you have to make sure you html comes before the javascript.

<script>
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
var resultedData = $.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
return info;
});
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("results");
resultDiv.innerHTML += resultedData;
});
});
</script>

How could I call a JQuery function upon a button click?

I have a JQuery function that fetches and displays a page worth of images through the use of JSON files. I want to display the next set of images upon a button click, but that requires adding on a short string to the request url, which is found and stored in a var when I first run the script. I need to call this JQuery function again and pass the string var to it (lastId in code below). I am an utter noob with JavaScript in general and don't know how to go about doing that.
Here is a full version of the code:
$(function runthis(un){
var lastId;
un = typeof un !== 'undefined' ? un : "";
$('#domainform').on('submit', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('#content').html('<center><img src="img/loader.gif" alt="loading..."></center>');
//var lastId;
var domain = $('#s').val();
var newdomain = domain.replace(/\//g, ''); // remove all slashes
var requrl = "http://www.reddit.com/r/";
var getmore;
getmore = "?after=t3_"+un;
var fullurlll = requrl + domain + ".json" + getmore;
$.getJSON(fullurlll, function(json){
var listing = json.data.children;
var html = '<ul class="linklist">\n';
for(var i=0, l=listing.length; i<20; i++) {
var obj = listing[i].data;
var votes = obj.score;
var title = obj.title;
var subtime = obj.created_utc;
var thumb = obj.thumbnail;
var subrdt = "/r/"+obj.subreddit;
var redditurl = "http://www.reddit.com"+obj.permalink;
var subrdturl = "http://www.reddit.com/r/"+obj.subreddit+"/";
var exturl = obj.url;
var imgr = exturl;
var imgrlnk = imgr.replace("target=%22_blank%22","");
var length = 14;
var myString = imgrlnk;
var mycon = imgrlnk;
var end = mycon.substring(0,14);
myString.slice(-4);
var test1 = myString.charAt(0);
var test2 = myString.charAt(1);
var timeago = timeSince(subtime);
if(obj.thumbnail === 'default' || obj.thumbnail === 'nsfw' || obj.thumbnail === '')
thumb = 'img/default-thumb.png';
if(end == "http://i.imgur" ){
$("#MyEdit").html(exturl);
html += '<li class="clearfix">\n';
html += '<img src="'+imgrlnk+'" style="max-width:100%; max-height:750px;">\n';
html += '</li>\n';
html += '<div class="linkdetails"><h2>'+title+'</h2>\n';
/*html += '<p class="subrdt">posted to '+subrdt+' '+timeago+'</p>'; /*'+test1+test2+'*/
html += '</div></li>\n';
}
if (listing && listing.length > 0) {
lastId = listing[listing.length - 1].data.id;
} else {
lastId = undefined;
}
} // end for{} loop
htmlOutput(html);
}); // end getJSON()
}); // end .on(submit) listener
function htmlOutput(html) {
html += '</ul>';
$('#content').html(html);
}
});

The way you currently are executing the function run this doesn't ever leave you a handle to that function. This means it only really exists in the context of document.ready (what $(function()) is a shortcut for).
What you want to do instead is to keep a reference to this function for later use.
If you want to be able to put it directly into an onclick='' you will need to put the function in global,
eg:
var myFunction = function() { /*Stuff here*/}
$(myFunction)
this declares a function called myFunction and then tells jQuery to execute it on document ready
Global is generally considered pretty naughty to edit. One slightly better option would be to assign the click to the button inside your javascript
eg:
$(function(){
var myFunction = function() { /*Stuff here*/}
myFunction(); //call it here
$('#my-button-id').click(myFunction);//attach a click event to the button
)
This means that the function myFunction only exists in the scope of your document.ready, not in global scope (and you don't need onclick='' at all)

tTo add listener on some event you can use live('click',function(){}) Like yhis:
<div id="my-button">some content</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#my-button').live('click',function(){
//your code
})
</script>

How to add custom image tag to pagedown?

I'm attempting to duplicate the original img tag's functionality in custom img tag that will be added to the pagedown converter.
e.g I'm copy the original behavior:
![image_url][1] [1]: http://lolink.com gives <img src="http://lolink.com">
into a custom one:
?[image_url][1] [1]: http://lolink.com gives <img class="lol" src="http://lolink.com">
Looking at the docs the only way to do this is through using the preblockgamut hook and then adding another "block level structure." I attempted doing this and got an Uncaught Error: Recursive call to converter.makeHtml
here's the code of me messing around with it:
converter.hooks.chain("preBlockGamut", function (text, dosomething) {
return text.replace(/(\?\[(.*?)\][ ]?(?:\n[ ]*)?\[(.*?)\])()()()()/g, function (whole, inner) {
return "<img src=" + dosomething(inner) + ">";
});
});
I'm not very experienced with hooks and everything so what would I do to fix it? Thanks.
UPDATE: found out that _DoImages runs after prespangamut, will use that instead of preblockgamut

Figured it out! The solution is very clunky and involves editing the source code because I am very bad at regex and the _DoImage() function uses a lot of internal functions only in the source.
solution:
All edits will be made to the markdown.converter file.
do a ctrl+f for the _DoImage function, you will find that it is named in two places, one in the RunSpanGamut and one defining the function. The solution is simple, copy over the DoImage function and related stuff to a new one in order to mimic the original function and edit it to taste.
next to DoImage function add:
function _DoPotatoImages(text) {
text = text.replace(/(\?\[(.*?)\][ ]?(?:\n[ ]*)?\[(.*?)\])()()()()/g, writePotatoImageTag);
text = text.replace(/(\?\[(.*?)\]\s?\([ \t]*()<?(\S+?)>?[ \t]*((['"])(.*?)\6[ \t]*)?\))/g, writePotatoImageTag);
return text;
}
function writePotatoImageTag(wholeMatch, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7) {
var whole_match = m1;
var alt_text = m2;
var link_id = m3.toLowerCase();
var url = m4;
var title = m7;
if (!title) title = "";
if (url == "") {
if (link_id == "") {
link_id = alt_text.toLowerCase().replace(/ ?\n/g, " ");
}
url = "#" + link_id;
if (g_urls.get(link_id) != undefined) {
url = g_urls.get(link_id);
if (g_titles.get(link_id) != undefined) {
title = g_titles.get(link_id);
}
}
else {
return whole_match;
}
}
alt_text = escapeCharacters(attributeEncode(alt_text), "*_[]()");
url = escapeCharacters(url, "*_");
var result = "<img src=\"" + url + "\" alt=\"" + alt_text + "\"";
title = attributeEncode(title);
title = escapeCharacters(title, "*_");
result += " title=\"" + title + "\"";
result += " class=\"p\" />";
return result;
}
if you look at the difference between the new _DoPotatoImages() function and the original _DoImages(), you will notice I edited the regex to have an escaped question mark \? instead of the normal exclamation mark !
Also notice how the writePotatoImageTag calls g_urls and g_titles which are some of the internal functions that are called.
After that, add your text = _DoPotatoImages(text); to runSpanGamut function (MAKE SURE YOU ADD IT BEFORE THE text = _DoAnchors(text); LINE BECAUSE THAT FUNCTION WILL OVERRIDE IMAGE TAGS) and now you should be able to write ?[image desc](url) along with ![image desc](url)
done.

The full line (not only the regex) in Markdown.Converter.js goes like this:
text = text.replace(/(!\[(.*?)\][ ]?(?:\n[ ]*)?\[(.*?)\])()()()()/g, writeImageTag);
so check the function writeImageTag. There you can see how the regex matching text is replaced with a full img tag.
You can change the almost-last line before its return from
result += " />";
to
result += ' class="lol" />';

Thanks for the edit to the main post.
I see what you mean now.
It is a bit weird how it uses empty capture groups to specify tags, but if it works, it works.
It looks like you would need to add on an extra () onto the regex string, then specify m8 as a new extra variable to be passed into the function, and then specify it as class = m8; like the other variables at the top of the function.
Then where it says var result =, instead of class =\"p\" you would just put class + title=\"" + .......

innerHTML not updating display

First, hello everyone as I'm new here.
To summarize my problem, I read the content of an XML file to display in a table.
The basic function to do this works well, I created a derivated function to include a search filter related to an input field.
The search algorithm works well and I'm able to preview the HTML code of the search result using the alert() function and this code seems proper and can be displayed in a browser properly as it would be supposed to. However the innerHTML code of the concerned div is not updated...
I would appreciate any kind of input or solution anyone could provide as I've been stuck on this ! Thanks !
Here is the code :
function printListMod2(){
//Search parameters ?
var searchContent = document.getElementById("searchField").value;
var i=0;
newHTML = "<table id=\"tableInstrus\">";
for (i=0;i<listInstrus.length;i++){
filename = returnFilename(i);
title = returnTitle(i);
tempo = returnTempo(i);
sample = returnSample(i);
multi = returnMulti(i);
style1 = returnStyle1(i);
style2 = returnStyle2(i);
var regEx = new RegExp(searchContent, 'gi');
var resultSearch = title.match(regEx);
if(resultSearch!=null){
if(i%2==0){
newHTML += "<tr class=\"tr0\"><td class=\"idColumn\">"+(i+1)+"</td><td class=\"emptyColumn\"></td><td class=\"nameColumn\">"+title+"</td><td class=\"tempoColumn\">"+tempo+"</td><td class=\"sampleColumn\">"+sample+"</td><td class=\"multiColumn\">"+multi+"</td><td class=\"styleColumn\">"+style1+"</td><td class=\"styleColumn\">"+style2+"</td><td class=\"addLink\"><a id="+filename+" onclick=\"addLinkToPlaylist("+i+")\"><img title=\"Add to playlist\" class=\"addButton\" src=\"images/buttonAdd.png\"/></a></td><td class=\"playLink\"><a onclick=\"playTrack("+i+","+true+")\"><img title=\"Play this track\" class=\"playButton\" src=\"images/buttonPlaySmall.png\"/></a></td></tr>";
}
else{
newHTML += "<tr class=\"tr1\"><td class=\"idColumn\">"+(i+1)+"</td><td class=\"emptyColumn\"></td><td class=\"nameColumn\">"+title+"</td><td class=\"tempoColumn\">"+tempo+"</td><td class=\"sampleColumn\">"+sample+"</td><td class=\"multiColumn\">"+multi+"</td><td class=\"styleColumn\">"+style1+"</td><td class=\"styleColumn\">"+style2+"</td><td class=\"addLink\"><a id="+filename+" onclick=\"addLinkToPlaylist("+i+")\"><img title=\"Add to playlist\" class=\"addButton\" src=\"images/buttonAdd.png\"/></a></td><td class=\"playLink\"><a onclick=\"playTrack("+i+","+true+")\"><img title=\"Play this track\" class=\"playButton\" src=\"images/buttonPlaySmall.png\"/></a></td></tr>";
}
}
}
newHTML += "<tr><td class=\"idColumn\"></td><td id=\"emptyColumn\"></td><td class=\"nameColumn\"></td><td class=\"tempoColumn\"></td><td class=\"sampleColumn\"></td><td class=\"multiColumn\"></td><td></td><td></td></tr>";
newHTML += "</table>";
alert(newHTML); //this displays the HTML code properly
document.getElementById("listDiv").innerHTML = newHTML; //this doesn't seem to do anything...
}

Is your script being executed before the document has finished loading?
Then it won't find #listDiv because the div doesn't exist yet.
I would check the javascript console output for errors and check if the following code doesn't return undefined:
{
...
console.log( document.getElementById('listDiv') );
}
