I'm designing an interface to display sets of data. I'm interested in organizing the information in a customized format using DIVs and SPANs to identify where specific data will be (not in the typical row-by-row format tables provide) but still having the flexibility of sorting and organizing the data that most JS libraries provide for t...
Hi, I'm reading "Pro Javascript Techniques" from John Resig, and I'm confused with an example. This is the code: // Create a new user object that accepts an object of properties function User( properties ) { // Iterate through the properties of the object, and make sure // that it's properly scoped (as discussed previously) for ( ...
I'm looking for a replacement website application development IDE. Ideally it will run on both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. I'm typically developing small to medium sized web applications of some richness and complexity - by way of example I'm currently handling a site for a local council which manages their waste collection and reproce...
I am trying a straightforward remote json call with jquery. I am trying to use the reddit api. http://api.reddit.com. This returns a valid json object. If I call a local file (which is what is returned from the website saved to my local disk) things work fine. $(document).ready(function() { $.getJSON("js/reddit.json", function (js...

Hey there, I've got a block of HTML that I'm going to be using repeatedly (at various times during a users visit, not at once). I think that the best way to accomplish this is to create an HTML div, hide it, and when needed take its innerHTML and do a replace() on several keywords. As an example HTML block... <div id='sample'> <h4>%...
I find that what not to do is a harder lesson to learn than what should be done. From my experience, what separates an expert from an intermediate is the ability to select from among various seemingly equivalent ways of doing the same thing. So, when it comes to JavaScript what kinds of things should you not do and why? I'm able to f...
Hello! I've been tasked with rewriting the Javascript engine currently powering my customer's internal website. While reviewing the code I've come across this function flvFPW1 which I do not recognize, nor can I decipher the code(my Javascript knowledge is modest at best). A Google search gives me a few hits, but most if not all page hi...

What is the best way to limit the amount of text that a user can enter into a 'textarea' field on a web page? The application in question is ASP .NET, but a platform agnostic answer is preferred.

I had a bunch of controls that I displayed, hid, enabled and disabled based on actions in the web page. Everything worked until i put them into an accordian. Now I can't get the Javascript to be able to update their state. I have a small example this is the Javascript <script type="text/javascript"> var ctrl = document.getElement...
It sounds wonky, but this is what I'm trying to do with javascript (this is all triggered by an event handler): Save the contents of a page (preferably the whole document or at least documentElement object) into a variable. Create an iframe and insert it into the body. Replace the document of the iframe with the saved document (so that...
I'm wanting to capture my search terms and pass them to a JavaScript variable, but I don't know how to handle quotes that might come through. Here's what I have currently: var searchTerms = "<!--#echo var="terms"-->"; var pattern = / /g; newSearchTerms = searchTerms.replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+/g,''); var searchStr=newSearchTerms.replace(pa...
I need to let user to edit some code in my web-app. I want to highlight the syntax as he types. Note: I need code to be highlighted on the fly, right inside editor control. I do not need offline source highlighters. Is there some free JavaScript-based code editor which does the job? I'll need to highlight Lua syntax, but I can add it ...
