I've had great success with qtip for jQuery

For some reason, I cannot get a span to display when I'm passing the name of it using selectedIndex. If I simply use onChange="Show_Stuff(this.display4)" it works.

awdio posted:

It does not work. I think it's because an options value, not a selected index value, needs to be passed somehow. Without it being so dynamic, this is what originally worked: onChange="Show_Stuff(display4)"

Is there a simple way to ask "Are you sure if you want to leave (domain)" on any links clicked that don't match a whitelist of domains (maybe using onunload?)

Googled, couldn't really find anything lightweight

Would it be easier to just make a function asking to click ok/cancel when a link is onclick=""'d?

code:

new RegExp(document.domain, 'i');

code:

ShowStuff(this.selectedIndex.value); // selectedIndex is a number, .value doesn't exist
ShowStuff(this[this.childNodes[this.selectedIndex].value); // this[index] is an option, .value exists

any ideas what's wrong?

awdio posted:

I'm excited to get closer to a solution, but in your example ShowStuff(this[this.childNodes[this.selectedIndex].value); where does the missing bracket go? I tried all different sorts of combinations.

Supervillin posted:

Whoops! So this is why they always said "show your work" in math class. Didn't need the initial "this".

code:

// more verbose
var index = this.selectedIndex; // chosen option's index
var option = this.childNodes[index]; // actual <option> element
var value = option.value; // chosen option's value attribute

ShowStuff(this.childNodes[this.selectedIndex].value); // try this!

awdio posted:

Tried that... still nothing. I'm just trying to pass an options value. From what you mentioned above, shouldn't it be option.value?

Lumpy posted:

this.options[this.selectedIndex].value

Really, just google "get selected value with javascript"

Your Show_Stuff function expects a DOM element parameter to be passed to it, and you're passing it the value attribute of an element(a string).

Just thought I'd share a snippet I've gotten a lot of mileage out of:

code:

var url = function() {
	var url_regex = /^(?:([A-Za-z]+):)?(\/{0,3})([0-9.\-A-Za-z]+)(?::(\d+))?(?:\/([^?#]*))?(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:#(.*))?$/;
	var url = url_regex.exec(location.href);
	return {
		url: url[0], 	// [url]http://www.site.com:8080/subdir/search.html?q=help#top[/url]
		scheme: url[1], // http
		slash: url[2], 	// //
		host: url[3], 	// [url]www.site.com[/url]
		port: url[4], 	// 8080
		path: url[5], 	// /subdir/search.html
		query: url[6], 	// q=help
		hash: url[7] 	// top
	};
}();

Use it like this:

code:

alert(url.scheme + '://' + url.host + ':' + url.port); // "http://www.site.com:8080"

... code snippet ...

Aye matey.

Could still be useful as a function you pass urls into that aren't the current location.

is there a good stand-alone interpreter for javascript, so I could write javascript scripts as replacement for perl or LISP scripts?

Just use jQuery for it:

code:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('#feature-header ul#cta').removeClass('hidden').addClass('unhidden');
});

How do I transplant that code into what I have to make it scroll down? Also is this going to get really difficult if I want it to scroll back up once it reaches the bottom?

So I'm going to assume you guys have heard of the Google AJAX Feed API right? Pretty killer tool, but I'm having a small issue that really isnt that important, but I'd love to fix it soon.

As I am sure most of you know, text overflow is handled pretty well in all browsers BUT Firefox... which seems a bit odd really, but for some reason, they are the only ones that don't offer a 'ellipsis' as an overflow option.

So what I have is a plugin I discovered written in JQuery that apparently fixes these problems, but I can't get it to work because said plugin requires an ID be assigned to the link(s) that the Javascript file creates... and it's not fun to gently caress with.

I won't bother with the plugin code because I prefer to not gently caress with it, but here is the code Google gave us:
http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.js

Now notice the class .gfg-listentry... that is the class that needs an 'id="one"' added in every time it is displayed... otherwise i get a nasty looking text-cutoff in Firefox.

Any advice on how to do this or any easier way to accomplish what I need? Thanks.
