I am working in a javascript function that takes all of the id's from a HTML table and sends each iteration of a loop and sends the info to a PLSQL procedure to update. I concat a number on each id to make each one unique. If I add an alert in the loop and click through one by one it works. If I let it go on its own with no alert it skips some iterations. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
function process_update() {
var nDataCount = document.getElementById("v_nDataCount").value;
var p_cc_no = document.getElementById("p_cc_no").value;
var p_orient = document.getElementById("p_orient").value;
var p_ot = document.getElementById("p_ot").value;
var p_buy = document.getElementById("p_buy").value;
var x = 0;
if (nDataCount == 0) {
x = 0;
} else {
x = 1;
}
for (i = nDataCount; i >= x; i--) {
var p_pc_no = ("p_pc_no[" + i + "]");
var p_pc_no2 = document.getElementById(p_pc_no).value;
var p_tm_name = ("p_tm_name[" + i + "]");
var p_tm_name2 = document.getElementById(p_tm_name).value;

Try the below code. I am using an AJAX GET request within the loop with request params, so as to not change the interface as much as possible. It uses only plain JS since I am not sure if you have jquery.
The actual changes start from line 48. Of course, I could test this code only in a limited way, so it might have possible bugs (please let me know). Also this can be possibly refined further, but as a quick fix it should do.
A word of caution: This could make a lot of calls in quick succession. So if you have too many loop iterations you might end up bringing down the server. Use wisely! :-) There should be some kind of batching to avoid this, but that will need the call interface to be changed.
Lines 48-61: I am creating a plain JS object out of all your parameters. The key is parameter name, value is the value to be passed.
Line 63: Here I am defining a self-invoking function, which makes the AJAX call in its body. This way, even though AJAX is asynchronous in nature, it will run in sync with the for loop outside.
Line 64-66: I am serializing the object created in the loop, into query parameters.
Lines 68,69: Framing the URL to which request will be made.
Lines 71-77: Actually making the request. This is just boilerplate AJAX-invoking code you can find anywhere (jQuery would've made life so much simpler :-)).

Refresh data retrieved by a custom function in Google Sheet

I have ImportJson() function that doesn't update its value unless I make changes to Appscript then reload the sheet again, I think it was running but suddenly stopped.
The function should be get the value of 'A2' if found go to the loop, if not just return the fixed API call data, but whatever I update the A2 cell it doesn;t recall the function with the other kinds of the API call but it runs normally in the app script editor

Here is a simple function that you can setup to trigger every time cell A2 changes. It will call your import function when the right cell has changed.
function valueChange(e)
{
if (e.range.getRow() == 1 && e.range.getColumn() == 2)
{
ImportData1();
}
}
I'm really new to Javascript and pretty much copied most of the code and modified it a bit. Sometimes I'm getting an error putted into a cell and sometimes the correct values. Do you know what is the issue?
for (p=3; p < 19; p=p+3){
var Value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(9,p);
var outputValue = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(counter.getValue(),(3 + a));
outputValue.setValue(Value.getValue());
a = a +1;}
I'm adding the whole code as well for reference:
function getData() {
var queryString = Math.random();
var i;
for (i=2; i < 8; i++) {
var AddressColumn = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("W1").getColumn();
//if (ValueCrypto>0)
var cellFunction1 = '=Value(Replace(IMPORTXML("' + SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,AddressColumn).getValue() + '?' + queryString + '","'+ SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,AddressColumn).getValue() + '"),1,1,))*X1';
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,3).clearContent(); // You can also use range.setFormula("");
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,3).setValue(cellFunction1);
var cellFunction2 = '=Value(Replace(IMPORTXML("' + SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,AddressColumn).getValue() + '?' + queryString + '","'+ SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(1,AddressColumn).getValue() + '"),1,1,))';
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,8).clearContent(); // You can also use range.setFormula("");
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(i,8).setValue(cellFunction2);
}
//var cellFunction2 = '=IMPORTXML("' + SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('A4').getValue() + '?' + queryString + '","'+ SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('A5').getValue() + '")';
//SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('C2').setValue(cellFunction2);
counter2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange("A12").getValue();
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("A12").setValue(counter2+1)
if (counter2 = 3) {recordValue();}
}
function recordValue() {
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("A12").setValue(0);
var counter = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange("A13");
//console.log(counter)
var dateCell = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(counter.getValue(),2);
dateCell.setValue(new Date());
//const errorValues = ["#N/A", "#REF", "#ERROR!"];
var a = 0;
for (p=3; p < 19; p=p+3){
var Value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(9,p);
var outputValue = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(counter.getValue(),(3 + a));
outputValue.setValue(Value.getValue());
a = a +1;
}
var TotalValue = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange("R2");
var outputTotalValue = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(counter.getValue(),17);
outputTotalValue.setValue(TotalValue.getValue());
var TotalValue2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange("R5");
var outputTotalValue2 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1").getRange(counter.getValue(),18);
outputTotalValue2.setValue(TotalValue2.getValue());
counter.setValue(counter.getValue() + 1);
if(counter.getValue() > 300){counter.setValue("14");}}
For my chrome extension, I have a function called storeGroup that returns an object. However, in function storeTabsInfo, when I call storeGroup and set it equal to another object, the parts inside the object are undefined. The object is being populated correctly in storeGroup, so I'm not sure why it's undefined?
function storeTabsInfo(promptUser, group)
{
var tabGroup = {};
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(currentWindow)
{
chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(currentWindow.id, function(tabs)
{
/* gets each tab's name and url from an array of tabs and stores them into arrays*/
var tabName = [];
var tabUrl = [];
var tabCount = 0;
for (; tabCount < tabs.length; tabCount++)
{
tabName[tabCount] = tabs[tabCount].title;
tabUrl[tabCount] = tabs[tabCount].url;
}
tabGroup = storeGroup(promptUser, group, tabName, tabUrl, tabCount); // tabGroup does not store object correctly
console.log("tabGroup: " + tabGroup.tabName); // UNDEFINED
chrome.storage.local.set(tabGroup);
})
})
}
function storeGroup(promptUser, group, name, url, count)
{
var groupObject = {};
// current count of group
var groupCountValue = group.groupCount;
var groupName = "groupName" + groupCountValue;
groupObject[groupName] = promptUser;
var tabName = "tabName" + groupCountValue;
groupObject[tabName] = name;
var tabUrl = "tabUrl" + groupCountValue;
groupObject[tabUrl] = url;
var tabCount = "tabCount" + groupCountValue;
groupObject[tabCount] = count;
var groupCount = "groupCount" + groupCountValue;
groupObject[groupCount] = groupCountValue + 1;
// successfully shows parts of groupObject
console.log("Final group: " + groupObject[groupName] + " " + groupObject[tabName] + " " + groupObject[tabUrl] + " " + groupObject[tabCount] + " " + groupObject[groupCount]);
return groupObject;
}
As i said in the comment above you created the groupObject dict keys with the group count so you should use it again to access them or remove it, if you want to use it again although i think this isnt necessary so use:-
... ,tabGroup[tabName + group.groupCount]...
But if you want to get it easily as you wrote just write this code instead of your code:-
function storeGroup(promptUser, group, name, url, count)
{
var groupObject = {};
// current count of group
groupObject['groupName'] = promptUser;
groupObject['tabName'] = name;
groupObject['tabUrl'] = url;
groupObject['tabCount'] = count;
groupObject['groupCount'] = group.groupCount + 1;
// successfully shows parts of groupObject
console.log("Final group: " + groupObject['groupName'] +
" " + groupObject['tabName'] + " " + groupObject['tabUrl'] +
" " + groupObject['tabCount'] + " " +
groupObject['groupCount']);
return groupObject;
}
I am fairly new to the Javascript language.
I am trying to make a clicker game (not so hard). The game is working but I am trying to make a save method for the game.
Instead of cookies I decided to have the game make its own code where the user can copy and paste it the next time they get on the game.
So the save method works but when I try to have the game load the code it doesn't quite do it right.
Instead of grabbing the values before the commas it grabs the letters of the word I use as a checker.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Here's my code:
var shovel = 0;
var miner = 0;
var loaders = 0;
var drill = 0;
var tnt = 0;
var minecart = 0;
var bulldozer = 0;
var trucks = 0;
var manager = 0;
var cost1 = 10;
var cost2 = 200;
var cost3 = 350;
var cost4 = 500;
var cost5 = 600;
var cost6 = 800;
var cost7 = 2500;
var cost8 = 6000;
var cost9 = 100000;
var cash = 0;
var cashRate = 1000;
//-- SAVE GAME --
function save() {
var save = "";
var data = cash + "," + cashRate + "," + shovel + "," + miner + "," + loaders + "," + drill + "," + tnt + "," + minecart + "," + bulldozer + "," + trucks + "," + manager + "," + cost1 + "," + cost2 + "," + cost3 + "," + cost4 + "," + cost5 + "," + cost6 + "," + cost7 + "," + cost8 + "," + cost9;
save += "CoalMinerGame=" + data;
var finalSave = encode(save);//Encoding/Decoding is done using the Base64 Code
prompt("Keep this somewhere you'll remember!", finalSave);
}
function load() {
var code = prompt("Paste the save code below!", "");
if (code != "") {
var load = decode(code);
if (load.includes("CoalMinerGame=")) {
load.split("CoalMinerGame=");
//load[0] = blank
cash = load[1];
cashRate = load[2];
shovel = load[3];
miner = load[4];
loaders = load[5];
drill = load[6];
tnt = load[7];
minecart = load[8];
bulldozer = load[9];
trucks = load[10];
manager = load[11];
cost1 = load[12];
cost2 = load[13];
cost3 = load[14];
cost4 = load[15];
cost5 = load[16];
cost6 = load[17];
cost7 = load[18];
cost8 = load[19];
cost9 = load[20];
updateWorkers();
alert("Save Successfully Loaded!");
} else {
alert("Not a valid save code!");
}
} else {
alert("You must enter a save code to get your game back!");
}
}
Save
Load
I see two mistakes :
The load.split() function does not modify load but returns an array instead, an array that you should store in another variable.
You should also split once again the resulting string on commas to separate your different values.
Hope it helps!
Oh man, this code is giving me a pain :).
What about use some native functions for whole objects so you dont have to manually serialize it and deserialize it?
This code
const myObject = {
some: 'fields',
even: {
nested: 'fields',
},
};
const stringified = JSON.stringify(myObject);
console.log(stringified);
const unstringified = JSON.parse(stringified);
console.log(unstringified);
Is having this output
{"some":"fields","even":{"nested":"fields"}}
{ some: 'fields', even: { nested: 'fields' } }
You can also use base64 steps to code and decode
The JSON.stringify take JS object and create pure string which contains JSON inside.
Then when you want to take JSON and create object from it, you can just JSON.Parse, which expects string.
I echo the sentiment to use JSON. My example below might require some refactoring in the game code but would be cleaner. To access the variable cash you would just use gameData.cash where you currently are using the cash var.
var gameData = {
cash: 0,
cashRate:0,
shovel:0,
miner:0,
loaders:0,
drill:0,
tnt:0,
minecart:0,
bulldozer:0,
trucks:0,
manager:0,
cost1:10,
cost2:200,
cost3:350,
cost4:500,
cost5:600,
cost6:800,
cost7:2500,
cost8:6000,
cost9:100000
}
function save(){
var dataToSave = CoalMinerGame: {
cash: cash,
cashRate:cashRate,
shovel:shovel,
miner:miner,
loaders:loaders,
drill:drill,
tnt:tnt,
minecart:minecart,
bulldozer:bulldozer,
trucks:trucks,
manager:manager,
cost1:cost1,
cost2:cost2,
cost3:cost3,
cost4:cost4,
cost5:cost5,
cost6:cost6,
cost7:cost7,
cost8:cost8,
cost9:cost9
}
var finalSave = JSON.Stringify(dataToSave)
finalSave = encode(finalSave)
prompt("Keep this somwhere you'll remember!", finalSave)
}
function load(){
var code = prompt("Paste the save code below!", "")
var load = decode(code)
if (code != ""){
gameData = load;
updateWorkers();
alert("Save Successfully loaded!")
} else {
alert("You must enter a save code to get your game back!")
}
}
I am trying get paged json responses from Topsy (http://code.google.com/p/otterapi/) and am having problems merging the objects. I want to do this in browser as the api rate limit is per ip/user and to low to do things server side.
Here is my code. Is there a better way? Of course there is because this doesn't work. I guess I want to get this working, but also to understand if there is a safer, and/or more efficient way.
The error message I get is ...
TypeError: Result of expression 'window.holdtweetslist.prototype' [undefined] is not an object.
Thanks in advance.

You are calling Merge as an static method, but declared it as an "instance" method (for the prototype reserved word).
Remove prototype from Merge declaration, so you'll have:
window.holdtweetslist.Merge = (function(ob)...
This will fix the javascript error.
This is Vipul from Topsy. Would you share the literal JSON you are receiving? I want to ensure you are not receiving a broken response.
THanks to Edgar and Vipul for there help. Unfortunately they were able to answer my questions. I have managed to work out that the issue was a combination of jquery not parsing the json properly and needing to use jsonp with topsy.
Here is a little test I created that works.
Create a doc with this object on it ....
RUN TEST
You will need JQUERY
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
And put the following in a script too. The is cycle through the required number of tweets from Topsy.
