I'm learning Javascript and i need some help. I have a list. I've tried to make a list, where you can, by the click of a button, get a random song from that list, but it doesn't seem to work. My list is down below, what am i doing wrong?
<!DOCKTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<button type="randomSong">Random Music</button>
<input "randomSong" id="randomSong">
</div>
<script>
var song = Array("song1", "song2", "song3", "song4", "song5", "song6");
var randomSong = song[Math.floor(Math.random()*song.length)];
</script>
</body>
</html>
Your code is almost correct. Here is a proper version:
HTML
<div>
<button type="randomSong" onclick="randomSong()">Random Music</button>
<input name="randomSong" id="randomSong">
</div>
Modifications:
add an attribute name to the input (you had "randomSong" without any attribute key)
use an onclick callback, so that something happens when you click your button
JS
var song = Array("song1", "song2", "song3", "song4", "song5", "song6");
function randomSong() {
var randomSong = song[Math.floor(Math.random() * song.length)];
document.getElementById('randomSong').value = randomSong;
}
Modifications:
wrap your random code into a function (the one referenced by the onclick attribute of your button)
assign the result to the input
The method below shows how to get a random item in javascript:
const songs = ["song1", "song2", "song3", "song4", "song5", "song6"];
function findSong() {
let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * songs.length);
document.getElementById("randomSong").setAttribute("value", songs[randomIndex]);
}
<div>
<button onclick="findSong();" type="randomSong">Random Music</button>
<input "randomSong" id="randomSong">
</div>

I'm trying to build something simple here:
a user types into an input field a url eg. http://sharepoint.com/human-resources/usa/Lists/testList/EditForm.aspx?ID=666&Source=http%3A%2F%sharepoint.com
.. hits "submit", when the URL gets spit out as a link, changing into: https://sharepointusa.com/en-us/human-resources/usa/Lists/testList/EditForm.aspx?ID=666&Source=http%3A%2F%sharepoint.com
I've been trying unsuccessfully to just spit out the whole URL, losing parameters, so I need a new approach, what is an easy vanilla javascript to just replace http://sharepoint.com/ with https://sharepointusa.com/en-us/ and leave the rest of the URL?
thanks
EDIT: 2 great answers, thank you, I adapted the first answer to my original code, while I play around with the second answer to see how it compares!:
<br>
<input type="text" id="userInput" value="Enter your text here"><br>
<input type="button" onclick="changeText2()" value="change text">
<script>
function changeText2()
{
var input=document.getElementById('userInput').value;//gets the value entered by user
const updatedUrl = input.replace('http://sharepoint.com/', 'https://sharepointusa.com/en-us/');
document.getElementById("link").href = updatedUrl;
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = updatedUrl;
}
</script>
if you have a variable containing the full original url
const url = 'http://sharepoint.com/human-resources/usa/Lists/testList/EditForm.aspx?ID=666&Source=http%3A%2F%sharepoint.com';
then you can just do
const updatedUrl = url.replace('http://sharepoint.com/', 'https://sharepointusa.com/en-us/');
and updatedUrl will have what you're asking for.
It1 got it right before me! anyways, this is a more advanced representation of how to change it directly from the input fields.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<input id="demo" value="http://sharepoint.com/human-resources/usa/Lists/testList/EditForm.aspx?ID=666&Source=http%3A%2F%sharepoint.com">
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var str = document.getElementById("demo").value;
var changed = str.replace("sharepoint", "sharepointusa");
document.getElementById("demo").value = changed;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here's the Script.
javascript
function linkPageContact(clicked_id){
if(clicked_id === 'website-design-check'){
$('#website-design').attr('checked',true);
window.location.href = "/contact";
}
}
}
I want to check my checkboxes when I click the button with an id=website-design-check.
Here is my HTML.
first.html
<a href="/contact" target="_blank">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-block" id="website-design-check" onclick="linkPageContact(this.id)">Appointment</button>
</a>
Here's the second HTML file where checkbox is.
second.html
<input type="checkbox" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input" id="website-design" name="website-design">
Now how can I achieve what I want base on the description given above. Can anyone help me out guys please. I'm stuck here for an hour. I can't get any reference about getting a checkbox state from another page.
To do this, you can modify your button link and add in additional parameters that you can then process on the next page.
The code for the different pages would be like:
Edit: I changed it to jQuery, it should work now.
Script
function linkPageContact(clicked_id){
if(clicked_id === 'website-design-check'){
window.location.href = "second.html?chk=1";
}
}
second page
<input type="checkbox" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input" id="website-design" name="website-design">
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = window.location.href.split("?");
if(url[1].toLowerCase().includes("chk=1")){
$('#website-design').attr('checked',true);
}
</script>
since your checkbox is in another html page, so it's totally normal that you can't get access to it from your first html page!
what I can offer u is using the localstorage to keep the id and then use it in your second page to check if it's the ID that u want or not.
so change your function to this :
function linkPageContact(clicked_id){
localStorage.setItem("chkId", "clicked_id");
window.location.href = "/contact";
}
then in your second page in page load event do this :
$(document).ready(function() {
var chkid = localStorage.getItem("chkId");
if(chkid === 'website-design-check'){
$('#website-design').attr('checked',true);
});
You can't handle to other sites via JavaScript or jQuery directly. But there's another way. You can use the GET method to achive this.
First you need to add to the link an attribute like this in your first.html:
/contact?checkbox=true
You can change the link as you want with JavaScript.
Now it will refer to the same page but it can be now different. After that you can receive the parameter with this function on the second.html.
function findGetParameter(parameterName) {
var result = null,
tmp = [];
var items = location.search.substr(1).split("&");
for (var index = 0; index < items.length; index++) {
tmp = items[index].split("=");
if (tmp[0] === parameterName) result = decodeURIComponent(tmp[1]);
}
return result;
}
I got it from this post thanks to Bakudan.
EDIT:
So here is an short theory.
When the user clicks the button on the first page, then you change the link from /contact to /contact?checkbox=true. When the user get forwarded to second.html then you change the checkbox depending on the value, which you got from the function findGetParameter('checkbox').
As all have mentioned you need to use session/query string to pass any variable/values to another page.
One click of the first button [first page] add query string parameter - http://example.com?chkboxClicked=true
<a href="secondpage.html?chkboxClicked=true>
<button>test button</button>
</a>
In the second page- check for the query string value, if present make the checkbox property to true.
In second page-
$(document).ready(function(){
if(window.location.href.contains('chkboxClicked=true')
{
$('#idOfCheckbox').prop('checked','checked');
}
})
Add it and try, it will work.
Communicating from one html file to another html file
You can solve these issue in different approaches
using localStorage
using the query parameters
Database or session to hold the data.
In your case if your application is not supporting IE lower versions localStorage will be the simple and best solution.

So, I'm trying to build a decimal to binary converter for my computer science class. I already made an algorithm in Python that seems to be working pretty well. It works in the Javascript console perfectly fine too. I'm now at a point trying to accept input from an HTML form. I'm kind of a DOM noob, but I thought this would be something easy and fun to do, but it's turning out that it's a lot more confusing than I thought. I would know how to do this in React.js, but I'm trying to use this as a learning experience. Basically, I want to take input from a form, run it through a function and have the returned value of the function back into HTML. I know how to get the value into HTML, but I have no clue how to retrieve the form data into Javascript. Here's a Codepen with my progress so far.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Javascript Binary Calculator</title>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">

<body>
<center><form style="margin-top: 25%" id="myForm">
<input type="text" class="form-control" style="width: 250px" placeholder="Type a number!" id="textForm">
<br />
<input type="button" class="btn" style="margin-top: 15px" value="Submit">
</form></center>
<script

<script src="script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>
Javascript:
function conversion(){
var quotient = 15;
var convertedNum = [];
if (formValue == 0){
convertedNum = [0]
}
while(formValue >= 1){
quotient = formValue/2;
var mod = formValue %2;
formValue = quotient;
convertedNum.push(mod);
convertedNum.reverse();
}
console.log(convertedNum.join(""));
}
$('#textForm').change(function(){
var formValue = document.getElementById('#textForm').value;
parseInt(formValue);
console.log(formValue);
console.log("It's Working in Console!");
conversion();
});
Her's a simple way doing what you are trying to accomplish.
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myText").value;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
<body>
First Name: <input type="text" id="myText" >
<p>Click the button to display the value of the value attribute of the text field.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
You want to put the answer back onto the page to be displayed when they click submit?
First you'll need a container (well, you can create one on the fly in Javascript, but typically you would just create an empty div container to hold the answer).
Add a div container for the solution: (after form probably)
<div id="convertedToBinary" class="answerDiv"></div>
It looks like you're using jQuery, which makes entering HTML into a target easy.
Add this to your conversion function:
$('#convertedToBinary').html(formValue+" converted to binary is: "+convertedNum.join("") );
<head>
<title></title>
<script

</head>
<body>
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
<span id="result"></span>
<script>
var formValue;
function conversion()
{
var quotient = 15;
var convertedNum = [];
if (formValue == 0)
{
convertedNum = [0]
}
while (formValue >= 1)
{
quotient = parseInt(formValue / 2);
var mod = formValue % 2;
formValue = quotient;
convertedNum.push(mod);
convertedNum.reverse();
}
$('#result').html(convertedNum.join(""));
}
$('.form-control').keydown(function ()
{
var $this = $(this);
setTimeout(function ()
{
formValue = $this.val();
conversion();
}, 100);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Just a couple of hints starting from the HTML / JS you provided:
You are using a jQuery selector within plain JS, so this won't work:
var formValue = document.getElementById('#textForm').value;
Change that to
var formValue = document.getElementById('textForm').value;
if you want to use plain JavaScript - or do it the jQuery way, like so
var formValue = $('#textForm').value;
You could also have stored the reference to that DOM element in a var, up front, and then work on that, but that's another topic.
Also you must pass the formValue to the conversion function, like so
conversion(formValue);
otherwise you can't work with the input value within the function scope.
All that remains to do is writing the resulting value into the innerHTML of some . The other answers give you two options for doing that - in jQuery (innerHTML) or plain old JavaScript.
Hello SO I'm relatively new to html and javascript and I currently want to make a page that will fulfill certain operations such as finding the max number of an array of numbers and factorial of a number as shown below.
and here is how I am organizing these sections
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "en">
<head>
<title>HTML/CSS Responsive Theme</title>
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "main.css" type = "text/css">

<script>
function startFactorial(number)
{
function factorial(num)
{
if(num <= 1)
return 1;
return num * factorial(num - 1);
}
document.factorials.factorialsfield.value = factorial(number);
}
function startMaxofFive(str)
{
//can actually find the max of n numbers not limited to 5
function maxoffive(string)
{
var nums = (string.match(/[-]?\d+/g));
var b = nums.map(Number);
return Math.max.apply(Math,b);
}
document.mof.moffield.value = (maxoffive(str));
}
</script>

What I wanted to ask you all is is there a better way to access those functions in my script without having to create another function just to use them?
Here's some suggestions:
You can use document.getElementById( id ) to get specific elements where id is the HTML's element id <element id="id_name">.
Events allow you to trigger actions based on user input. It works basically the same, but you no longer need to name the functions: element_variable.event = function() { /* ... */ }
See if the inner functions are really neccessary; see if you can edit the code where you no longer need that function (document.getElementById will probably be able to let you do that stuff)
Example:
<form id="factorials" name="factorials">
<!-- Skipping input -->
<input type="submit" <!-- ... -> />
</form>
// Javascript file
var fact = document.getElementById( "factorials" );
fact.onsubmit = function() {
/* Your code here */
}
It's generally considered best practice to move scripts to the bottom of the page before the closing body tag. This way the loading of the scripts won't interfere with page load.
You can also move your scripts to a separate file and include it:
<script src="myscripts.js"></script>
This will help keep your code more neat and organized.
You always use functions to call functions. Sounds weird but thats how it is :P
You can remove the JS calls from your DOM by adding eventlisteners to your JavaScript file just like this example:
<script>
var x = document.getElementById('test');
x.addEventListener('click', function(){
// your function magic happens here
});
</script>
<div id="test"></div>
Sorry if I understood your question wrong
I am not sure that this is what you asked for, however, it seemed like you wanted to know about other methods to get access to your javascript code or script in your HTML.
I can truly recommend you, to look into Angular for this. With Angular you can call methods in your controller, and scope data between your view (HTML) and controller (Javascript).
https://angularjs.org/
But this is just one of many options!
I request some help with updating the result element content with the product of integer input in the text field with a pre-defined variable.
What i wanted to achieve is the content of the element with id="result" to be updated automatically, i want to achieve this using jquery:
Below is my code, thanks in advance.
<script>
function updateresult(){
var operand1 = parseFloat($('slide').val()) || 1;
var operand2 = 25;
var produt;
produt = operand1 * operand2;
$('#result').html(product);
}
</script>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="text">
Write to change:<input id="slide" type="text" onchange="updateText()" />
</div>
<div >Total is: <span id="result"></span></div>
<br/>
</body>
</html>
You can use keyup event of textbox in jquery.
$("#slide").keyup(function(e){
var operand1 = parseFloat($(this).val()) || 1;
var operand2 = 25;
var result = operand1 * operand2;
$("#result").html(result);
});
Working Sample
There are a couple of things:
your function is named updateresult() but you call a different function: onchange="updateText()"
Instead of $('slide') you need to use an id-selector $('#slide')
you have a typo in product, you sometimes refer to it as poduct
The code below fixes all of that
function updateText(){
var operand1 = parseFloat($('#slide').val()) || 1;
var operand2 = 25;
var product;
product = operand1 * operand2;
$('#result').text(product);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="text">
Write to change:<input id="slide" type="text" onchange="updateText()">
</div>
<div >Total is: <span id="result"></span></div>
There is one more thing: The change event gets fired only when the element loses focus, you may want to add paste and keyup events by removing the onchange attribute and add the following to your javascript
$('#slide').on('change keyup paste',updateText);
And yet another thing: you're using <!DOCTYPE HTML> so this is html5. But there are no self-closing tags in html5, so instead of <tag /> you should just write <tag>
