Just for clarification sake...

In the code you posted above, what is it that links those functions to the submit/verification button? Im used to VB where you just code everything individually using common names. I cant seem to find the connection here.

I'm currently working on a page in which that has a drop down menu similar to an option element. However, I need more than just text for each option so I'm using a div that I make appear and disappear. I've got the appearing working correctly, but I'm not sure how to make it disappear when I click anywhere on the page. Does anyone how I can accomplish this?

First of all, thank you very much for all the help.

Everything is working with the exception of one little bug.

If both email fields are left blank, it will alert the user to enter an email, but then it also alerts the user that inputs were accepted (because it then goes on to check that email1==email2 and i assume it accepts two blank fields as being == )

code:

function checkInput(usernameId, emailId, varemaildId) {
    var usernameValue = document.getElementById(usernameId).value;
    var email1= document.getElementById(emailId).value;
    var email2= document.getElementById(varpemailId).value;
      if (usernameValue.length <4 || usernameValue.length > 8) {
            alert("the username must be between 4 and 8 characters long");
 }
      if(email2.length == 0) {
			 alert("Please confirm your email");
 } 
      if(email1 != email2) {
              alert('The two emails do not match!');
 }      
      else {
              alert("User name and Email accepted");

 }
} 

quote:

"return <value>" ceases all execution of that function and returns that value, kind of like an "exit function" statement in VB, except it returns a value. So you have a bunch of statements that return false on error and at the very end have a "return true;", if it gets to that point everything is ok and processing should continue.

when you show your DIV, add a click hander to the document, check to see if the click was in your DIV, and if not, hide. When you hide, remove the click handler as well, so it's not checking when it doesn't need to.

Is navigating to someone's profile done via AJAX by the site, so there's no page load?

Nigglypuff posted:

Look at the page URL before and after clicking the profile link. If everything before the hash (#) is the same, then a real page load has not occurred.

What are my options here? Can I somehow detect when the new page is loaded and have the function be called?

Vanadium posted:

You can do someNode.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", someCallback).

Rabbi Dan posted:

I put my main code in a function called process() and then added this line to the bottom of the greasemonkey script:

document.getElementById('profile_actions').addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", process() );

This doesn't seem to do anything. Clearly that event is not being fired. How can I find out which nodes are having their DOMNodeInserted event fired when I navigate from profile to profile on Facebook?

That's all well but, when I try to access the $.messages array in FireBug it goes into an "unresponsive script" hang. I guess there is an infinite loop somewhere but, I can't see it.

So I'm building a list of messages on screen that the user will be interacting with. Moving in between different queues etc...

I want to have a master array of all "messages" and that array is objects which are the messages themselves.

Anyone have any ideas for making an image scroll in the background slower than the rest of the page? I'm trying to make a neat 3D effect where instead of just having a static background and a foreground that scrolls normally, I want the foreground to scroll normally and the background to scroll slowly and in relation to the length of the page.

The idea is that the page is made up of a header, 3 columns, and a footer. The left column is navigation and it looks like a tree, the right column is just a sliver of another tree, and the center column is where the content goes. It has a big 1000px by 2400x px canopy picture as it's background. This canopy picture is currently just static, with only the top 1000-1200px showing. I want this image to slowly scroll while the columns and the content ontop of the canopy (in semi-transparent background divs) scroll normally. By the bottom of the page, the bottom 1000-1200px would be showing and the top of it would be hidden. It would also have a minimum scroll setting so that it wouldn't scroll too fast on shorter pages.

I'll post up a diagram of what I mean when I get home. I don't even know where to start with this, I'm new to php so I don't know if it even has the capabilities to do something like this, maybe JavaScript? I just don't know. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I don't know JavaScript, but I was able to bumble my way around the code just fine. I just have no idea how this could be smoothed out, or why it's choppy in the first place.

Would there be a way to emulate additional onscroll events if the scroll bar was made in Java or something?

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, then just use percentages instead.
