Re: JavaScript Tour guide - JavaScript Discussion Boards

I added the social media buttons facebook, twitter and linkedin to my page. Works ok on Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It blocks (and sometimes crashes) IE11, I didn't check previous versions yet.
I have no idea why, does anyone have an idea on how to solve it? Right now, I check if it is IE and just disable the tweet and facebook buttons (linkedin is working).

isIE is a boolean that indicates if it is Internet Explorer and "removes" the functionality. (for now)

Here's the rendered code:
twitter
where the button should be

HTML

<div id="tweetlink"></div>
<script>
  if(!isIE){
    document.getElementById('tweetlink').innerHTML = 
    "<div><a href='https ://twitter.com/share' class='twitter-share-button' data-url='urlhere' data-size='large'>Tweet</a></div>"; // --> space between https and : added because CP messed up the markup otherwise
  }
</script>
<script>
  if(!isIE){
    $(window).load(function () {$.getScript('<a href="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js">http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js</a>');});
}
</script>

facebook
part 1
in the head

HTML

<meta property="og:url" content="urlhere" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Solar Timelines for AFFECTS" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://urlhere/Styles/Images/GUI/STAFF_96x96.png" />

part 2
right after the body tag

HTML

<script>
if(!isIE){
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {FB.init({appId: 'idhere',xfbml: true,version: 'v2.5'});};
  (function(d, s, id) {
    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
    js = d.createElement(s);
    js.id = id;
    js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5";
    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
  }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
}
</script>

part 3
somewhere in the html where button should be

HTML

<div class="fb-like" data-href="urlhere" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-width="200" data-share="true"></div>

I did google it, but all results popped up with how to block the buttons, not on how to "not block" the page.

Feel free to look at it here[^] @ bottom of the page. In Chrome all buttons are there in IE only linkedin is there.

Hi,
can any one tell me how to create a site column in javascript.

I used this in my code:
var fieldschema2='Field Type="Number" DisplayName="AccordionOrder" Name="AccordionOrder" Required="False" Indexed="True" EnforceUniqueValues="True"/>'
but control is going to failure method.
I also tried Numeric and Integer types but column is not created.Let me know.

What in the world are you talking about? What type of grid control is this for? It looks like you are trying to create sever-side properties in JS and expect it to work. We need a lot more details to understand what you are talking about.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I have this JQuery here that I wrote a while ago. I use regex to extrack the price of the service. But now I added free services over a dollar amount, so I have instances in which service names now have 2 currency amounts.

So for example:
Free Shipping US48 $750.00 -- $0.00 USD

I just want the last match. Currently I get 2 matches,
$750.00
$0.00

Not sure if I should try and rewrite the Regex, or rewrite the JQuery.
I'm terrible with Regex, that's why I'm asking.

var rate_API_Text = $('input[name*="_lb_OP_AO_S2_Quotes_Original_Field"]:checked').next().text();
var rate_API_Index = rate_API_Text.indexOf("--");
var rate_API_Name = rate_API_Text.substr(0, rate_API_Index - 1);
$('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_StatusMessage_Field"]').text(rate_API_Name);

   var rate_Amount = "$0.00";
   var re_ratePlan = new RegExp("(\\$[0-9,]+(\\.[0-9]{2})?)");
   var txt_ratePlan = $('input[name*="_lb_OP_AO_S2_Quotes_Original_Field"]:checked').next().text();
   var match_ratePlan = re_ratePlan.exec(txt_ratePlan);
   if (match_ratePlan.length !== null || match_ratePlan.length > 0) {
       for (var i = 0; i < match_ratePlan.length; i++) {
           rate_Amount = match_ratePlan[i] + "\n";
           break;
       }
       if (match_ratePlan !== null) {
                $('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_Calc_RateAmount_Field"]').text(rate_Amount);                
       }
       else {
           $('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_Calc_RateAmount_Field"]').text("$0.00");
           $('[id*="_txt_Estimated_Rate_Field"]').val(rate_Amount);
       }
}

I changed the source of the regex to the latter part of the string index instead.
That's what happens when you have to go back to code you wrote years ago. You forget exactly how it operates and you have to rethink it again.

var rate_API_Text = $('input[name*="_lb_OP_AO_S2_Quotes_Original_Field"]:checked').next().text();
var n = rate_API_Text.indexOf("--");
var rate_API_Name = rate_API_Text.substr(0, n - 1);
$('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_StatusMessage_Field"]').text(rate_API_Name);

var rate_Amount = rate_API_Text.substr(n, rate_API_Text.length - 1);
var re_ratePlan = new RegExp("(\\$[0-9,]+(\\.[0-9]{2})?)");
var match_ratePlan = re_ratePlan.exec(rate_Amount);
if (match_ratePlan.length !== null || match_ratePlan.length > 0) {
    for (var i = 0; i < match_ratePlan.length; i++) {
        rate_Amount = match_ratePlan[i] + "\n";
        break;
    }
    if (match_ratePlan !== null) {
        $('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_Calc_RateAmount_Field"]').text(rate_Amount);                
    }
    else {
        $('[id*="_lbl_OP_AO_S2_Dashboard_Calc_RateAmount_Field"]').text("$0.00");
        $('[id*="_txt_Estimated_Rate_Field"]').val(rate_Amount);
    }
}

Can anyone help am new in JavaScript environment I want to create a JavaScript tour guide library that will allow re-usability of the tour guide across various web applications.

Not unless you explain exactly what help you want.

ok thanks what I want to do is current I have a web application that is running and I have a bootstrap tour guide that is running, the problem with this one is each view has the own script for that tour guide that referencing the control ID on that view, now I want to develop one dynamic JavaScript tour guide library that I can use to the rest of my web application and even to the other .Net applications. hopping am clear now see what am current having now.

C#

$(function () {
    var startIndex = 0;
    var tour = new Tour({

        storage: window.localStorage
    });
    startIndex = tour._options.steps.length;
    tour.addSteps([
      {

          element: "#first-name",
          title: "Searching for an employee",
          content: "To search for the employee to add, please type in the employee name or surname in the textbox provided.<br> Once you have found the employee, all his/her details will be pulled on your behalf.",
          placement: "top",
      },
      {
          element: "#surname",
          title: "Searching for employee",
          content: "Alternatively, you can search the employee by typing into the provided <strong>Surname</strong> textbox provided.",
          placement: "top"
      },
      {
          element: "#engagements",
          title: "how to create engagements",
          content: "To create engagements click on this engagements bottun .",
          placement: "top"
      },
      {
          element: "#administrator",
          title: "how to do administration",
          content: "To do administration click on the administration bottun.",
          placement: "top"
      },
      {
          element: "#dropdown",
          title: "how to logout ",
          content: "To logout on this system click on the drop down next to your name and click logout.",
          placement: "top",

      },

    ]);

    // Initialize the tour
    tour.init();

    // Start the tour
    tour.start();
    //tour.goTo(startIndex);

//}());
});

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, have you considered using one of the many existing libraries that provide this type of functionality?

For example:

<java>
I am trying to store user input (string values) into a 2d array but am unable to figure out how to do a for loop for String values.

User will input a First Name, Last Name, Phone, and Age

public class Lab2
{
public static void main(String[] args) {

//Example Data but need it entered by a user
String [][] array = {
{"Ryan", "Smith", "555555555", "12"},
{"George", "Young", "123456789", "52"},
{"Frank", "McDonnell", "555123789", "18"}
};
//Create a for loop for user input

//Displays the entire array
for (int row=0; row<array.length; row++){
="" for="" (int="" col="0;" <array[row].length;="" col++){
="" system.out.print(array[row][col]+"="" ");
="" }
="" system.out.println();
}
}
}
<="" java="">

Does this have anything to do with Javascript?

I want to make a web page contains headline news from differnt web sites.
I want to refresh it daily.
I prefere to do this by a javascript code.
Can any one help me?

You could possibly fetch the RSS feeds from different news websites, like BBC etc. They all provide you with functionality to fetch the latest feeds from their servers and you can then render those RSS feeds on your website.

The website would then act as an RSS feed reader. Before you begin, I would recommend that you read about RSS[^], RSS feeds (same as RSS) and RSS Readers (the application which pulls the RSS feeds and then display them in the device). Understand them and them implement the service in your application.

Also, why would you like to pull it using JavaScript when you can pull it using your server-side language too? Which would be much more fast and efficient.

thanks for replaying.
I need to feed my web page from sites don't all proceed rss feeds (such as http://ara.reuters.com )
This is a personal web page for me only to read news more easily.

I want to load a png image in base64 to html5 canvas element. I have this code:

XML

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <canvas id="pageCanvas"></canvas>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var canvas = document.getElementById("pageCanvas");
            var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
            var imageData         ="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAIAAAACDbGyAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAlwSFlzAAALEwAACxMBAJqcGAAAAAd0SU1FB9oMCRUiMrIBQVkAAAAZdEVYdENvbW1lbnQAQ3JlYXRlZCB3aXRoIEdJTVBXgQ4XAAAADElEQVQI12NgoC4AAABQAAEiE+h1AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC";
            var imageObj = new Image();
            imageObj.src = imageData;
            ctx.drawImage(imageObj, 50, 100);
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

The above code working well in IE, chrome, Microsoft edge. But in Firefox the image was not displayed. It display blank page. Sometime when we reload the page then it displayed an image in canvas.

Best,
Parthi

There is no such code that works "sometimes". Code either works or doesn't work, but it can depend on the underlying libraries and stuff like that so the first time it doesn't work because the framework isn't ready and then works because everything is set up.

But it is still not convincing to believe that a reload fixes everything. Take this, press F12 and try to look for the error that this image gives. Console would log the error and you can see that error to find a solution, or post it here so we may help you. Smile | :)

yes, i checked the console window but it does show any error.

I'm doing an assignment with an order form and was wondering if there is a function that will auto fill the cost field after entering the quantity field?

You really miss the point of having an assignment: you are supposed to figure it out, and in the process, learn!

You may wish to get used to that idea sooner, rather than later, as that's what this business is all about.

Here's something for you to consider that's an important part of figuring out how to answer your question: where is the cost-per-unit data located at the time the quantity is entered? A lot depends upon that.

@WW∴ Balboos - forums are for getting help a-hole. if you don't have an answer mind your own business.

Looks like the OP has been deactivated by the hamsters for his abusive reply.

Yeah - I noticed that when I tried to see what else he's been up to (i.e., aside from trying to get his homework done). I think what was most annoying is that I even gave him some suggestions rather than the tried-and-true "Do Your Own Homework".

Maybe someone can develop a CP-AI that would recognize the new accounts created by those who are thrown out of the hamster cage.

I still can believe the web runs on it! If there is any proof the devil exists javascript must be it.
It is so easy to make a mistake and not catch it until you are debugging.
