I've been searching all over the place, but can't seem to find an example of
what I'm trying to do. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Essentially, I'm trying to create progressive menus like this:

http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=421

But rather than using select menus, I would like to do it with nested unordered
lists. Here's some basic sample code:

<ul>
<li><h2><a href="#">Apparel</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Shoes</li>
<li>Denim</li>
<li>Underwear</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><h2><a href="#">Electronics</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>TV's</li>
<li>Stereos</li>
<li>Games</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

So in this example, "Apparel" and "Electronics" are visible items in the popup
menu, and the submenu items are hidden. If the user clicks on "Apparel" a second
popup menu appears next to it containing "Shoes", "Denim", "Underwear".

Anyone know how I might accomplish this?

You are making a big mistake.

Just do a onclick="Ship_Option(this.form)" on each item

And inside the function
function Ship_Option(form)
{
form.submit();
}

You don't need to re-write the value in the option to send it. As you click,
that option becomes checked and is sent in the submit.


And FYI, form.service is a collection, an Array, so form.service.value will
do nothing.
That would only work if you had just one radio button named service.

Cheers
Rafael

Hi tmallan,
This group doesn't seem to be very active of lately, though there seems to be
quite a few group members.

I'm a newbie at javascript myself, but when I tried your code, it didn't pass
any value at all, for me. I was using PHP to get the $_POST['service'] value
passed.

I guess you are trying to do this without using a Submit button, which would be
nice.

Hope some more experienced members can help you.
Regards, Bob E.

This form allows a customer to choose a shipping option. While it
submits the form, no matter which button is selected, the same value
is always submitted.
Thanks for any help.

The code:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function Ship_Option(Form, Value) {
Form.service.value = Value;
Form.submit();
	 }
</script>

<form method="post" action="ship.html">
<input type="radio" name="service" value="9"
onfocus="Ship_Option(this.form, 9)">UPS Ground<br>
<input type="radio" name="service" value="10"
onfocus="Ship_Option(this.form, 10)">UPS 3 Day Select<br>
<input type="radio" name="service" value="11"
onfocus="Ship_Option(this.form, 11)">UPS 2 Day Air
</form>

document.write is (IMO) clumsy and ugly, and doesn't work in a true
XHTML page. Forget you ever heard of it :-)

Alternatives:

1) directly manipulate the style rules -- google "DOM stylesheet" for
      more info and examples; probably won't scale well if you have a
      lot of rules. Also, there are some browser compatibility issues --
      surprise!

2) put all your rules in one stylesheet; make the "with JS" rules depend
      on the cascade, e.g.

h1 { color: red; }  /* no JS style */
.js h1 { color: green; }  /* with JS style */

and add the class "js" to the body tag via JavaScript.

FWIW!
--
Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder@...

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm a js dummie, so forgive me.

The idea is I want to have a stylesheet for all users (both with and without
js), and override
some of those styles if the user has js. I tried the following, but it doesn't
seem to work:

<link href="nojs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.write("<link href="js.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="screen" />");
</script>

</head>

Can you only use document.write in the body? And if so, is there another way to
accomplish
this?

i have a js file which reads data from my database in utf8 format,
unless i convert the data to unicode format it could not be shown on
my web pages and since i'm not using html in my js file i cant include
anything,
does anyone have a javascript could which converts this for me? or is
there any better way to do this?

Hi All,

I am facing issues with IE 7.

If I have a simple page with the following content:

<html><body><script>
var aaa = new Object();
aaa.data = "bbb";
//... and repeat the above statement 32767 times
</script></body></html>

The page will throw syntax errors on IE 7. If I reduce the number of
statement by one, it works. The page works on IE 6 and which much
more data.

Is there a setting in IE 7 which is restricting this to 2 pow 15
(=32768)assignments or something?

Regards,
Ash

Yep, exactly you have to hide those elements in order for you div not take
go behind.

I am displaying/hiding a DIV by changing visibility between visible
and hidden when the user mouses over a link.

So, when the user hovers over this link, a 'popup' with some
information appears.

This works fine except that in IE (6.0.2900.2180)-, if there are any
SELECT objects on the page underneath the visible DIV, they show thru
the DIV. This does not happen in FireFox.

Radios and TextAreas underneath the DIV don't show thru. I don't know
about TEXT boxes.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks

I downloaded VS Web Developer Edition.  It wasn't obvious how to use
(or even find) the debugger on an existing page.

Today I found this webpage (link below) with instructions on how to
use VS Web Developer to debug on an existing page.  I haven't tried
it yet, but given that I haven't used VS for quite a while (and
never the Web Developer version), this should save the time of
figuring it out step by step.

I have some code that adds a new row of INPUT fields to a form when a
button is pressed.

I use the following line to assign an onchange eventhandler.

    element.onchange = function(){updateItemCost(rowNum);};

The 'rowNum' parameter is defined in the Javascript function that
calls the above code.

This works great if the user adds one row, enters the data, then adds
the next row, enters data, etc.

But if the user adds two or more rows, the 'rowNum' received is always
the number of the last row added.

I can tell that separate INPUT objects are being created, because if I
SUBMIT, I can see the proper fields names (itemQuantity3,
itemQuantity4, etc) in the POST data.

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to your question from 2001 about getting
the modified date of a linked file..?
(Long shot, I know!)

-Niels Fanøe

I did wonder as the last post was 29th  March.

It turned out to be something in the CSS causing it as getting rid of the
stylesheet fixes the problem, now I just have to figure out what.

Greetings all, it has been a very long time since I posted here :-)

I have made a dynamic form builder and All I am doing is cloning a DIV
that contains some form fields, and using insertBefore to repeat that
clone.
There is no errors in the code and it does work, but in IE7 nothing is
displayed unless I resize the window, after which everything appears.
But I must do this after any change is made to the content.
Is there some hack/fix for Internet Explorer to make it render properly ?

Hi,
I am trying to get some training material to run within an LMS
(learning management system). This material is produced
with "Articulate" software which takes PowerPoint files and converts
them to a Flash presentation.
In the presentation is an "exit" button which exits the Articulate
presentation and I need it to go to the next page in the LMS.
After much experimentation I added the JavaScript function:
parent.ReturnToDOTS(); into a text file called flashcommand.js which
is the "general fscommand handler for ALL output formats". DOTS is
the name of our LMS.
The exact code is:
case "ART_CloseAndExit":
if (!g_bLMS)
{
parent.ReturnToDOTS();
}
break;

Here is the problem: This function works fine on some of our PCs but
not others (permission denied error)! Any idea why that might happen?
We have checked the version of Java on the PCs and it appears to be
the same.

spot

I have a form with three checkboxes, and want to set another variable
depending on which boxes are checked.

The boxes have values of 1, 2, and 4, and I want to add up the values
of whichever boxes are checked.

The problem is that I'm getting a value of 7 no matter what boxes are
checked.

Any ideas?

---------------------------------


<script language="javascript">
	 <!--
		 function getbase() {

  var b1 = document.form1.base1.value;
  var b2 = document.form1.base2.value;
  var b3 = document.form1.base3.value;

  document.form1.bases.value = parseFloat(b1) + parseFloat(b2) +
parseFloat(b3);

}
	 //-->

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="form1">

1<input type="checkbox" name="base1" value="1">
2<input type="checkbox" name="base2" value="2">

Exactly -- you're adding *all the values* regardless of whether the
box is "successful", i.e. checked. :-)

Untested, but something like

  var b1 = (document.form.base1.checked)? document.form1.base1.value: 0;

would probably do it.

Alternatively, add event handlers to the checkboxes so they keep a
running total as they're clicked and un-clicked. :-)

HTH!

Hi,
I am trying to get some training material to run within an LMS
(learning management system). This material is produced
with "Articulate" software which takes PowerPoint files and converts
them to a Flash presentation.
In the presentation is an "exit" button which exits the Articulate
presentation and I need it to go to the next page in the LMS.
After much experimentation I added the JavaScript function:
parent.ReturnToDOTS(); into a text file called flashcommand.js which
is the "general fscommand handler for ALL output formats". DOTS is
the name of our LMS.
The exact code is:
case "ART_CloseAndExit":
if (!g_bLMS)
{
parent.ReturnToDOTS();
}
break;

Here is the problem: This function works fine on some of our PCs but
not others (permission denied error)! Any idea why that might happen?
We have checked the version of Java on the PCs and it appears to be
the same.

I have a form with three checkboxes, and want to set another variable
depending on which boxes are checked.

The boxes have values of 1, 2, and 4, and I want to add up the values
of whichever boxes are checked.

The problem is that I'm getting a value of 7 no matter what boxes are
checked.

Any ideas?

---------------------------------


<script language="javascript">
	 <!--
		 function getbase() {

  var b1 = document.form1.base1.value;
  var b2 = document.form1.base2.value;
  var b3 = document.form1.base3.value;

  document.form1.bases.value = parseFloat(b1) + parseFloat(b2) +
parseFloat(b3);

}
	 //-->

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="form1">

1<input type="checkbox" name="base1" value="1">
2<input type="checkbox" name="base2" value="2">
3<input type="checkbox" name="base3" value="4">

<br><br>

<input name="bases" type="text">

<br><br>

<input type=submit onclick="getbase()">


</form>
