I'm trying to mimic the while loop of plain Javascript in AngularJS. I simply want to call the createPlant() method x number of times according to the value of the quantity input, when the "add" button is clicked, as follows (it adds to an array 'plants'):
$("#add").on("click", function() {
var i = 0;
while (i < $("#pQuantity").val()) {
createPlant();
i += 1;
};
In Angular I have:
HTML
<button ng-click="addPlant()" type="button">Add</button>
And I'm not sure how the script would look but this is what I wrongly put:
JS
var i = 0;
while (i < $("#pQuantity").val()) {
$scope.addPlant = function() {
var plant = {name: $("#pVariety").val()};
$scope.plants.unshift(plant);
};
i += 1;
};
I support what #dfsq told you in the comment. Do not use jQuery if you are using angular... unleash the angular power! :P
For your solution, you should do something like this:
Your JS:
$scope.result="";
$scope.addPlant = function(){
for (i=0; i<$scope.someValue;i++){
//do something
$scope.result=$scope.result+i.toString()+",";
}
};
HTML:
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<input type=number ng-model="someValue" />
<button ng-click="addPlant()">CLICK ME</button>
<div>{{result}}</div>
</body>

I am fairly new to JavaScript,
I have ben working on a simple if else script to change the color of at button, depending on the status of a variable that I get from a plc (Siemens S7-1200).
The script is working fine and the color of the button is changing.
But I have 10 buttons that I want to run this script on.
Is it possible to “reuse” the script so that I don’t have to copy the script and change the variables for every button
T
<script>
var tag = ':="web_DB".outtag1:'
var button = "button1"
window.onload = function() {
if (tag == 1) {
document.getElementById(button).style.backgroundColor = 'green';
} else{
document.getElementById(button).style.backgroundColor = 'red';
}
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="submit" id="button1" value="button">
<input type="hidden" name='"web_DB".intag1' value ="1">
</form>
It's hard to be sure since you haven't posted all your code and what you have posted doesn't actually work but I think you're looking for something like this.
const tags = [
':="web_DB".outtag1:',
':="web_DB".outtag2:',
//...
':="web_DB".outtag10:'
];
window.onload = function() {
for (let i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
const color = (tags[i] == 1) ? 'green' : 'red';
document.getElementById('button' + (i+1)).style.backgroundColor = color;
}
}
I build a little snippet with javascript to add more fields by clicking a button. It works fine and add the field as it should but it discards the values of the already existing fields on clicking the add more button.
You can run the snippet below to check the issue ... Please add 2-3 fields and type something in those fields and then add another field. You'll see what is happening.
var fldsContainer = document.getElementById('fields');
var fld = '<p><input name="test[]" type="text"></p>';
function addField() {
fldsContainer.innerHTML += fld;
}
<div id="fields"></div>
<button onclick="addField()">Add More Field</button>
I know in jQuery we can simply .append() but I need a solution in javascript. Is there append method in javascript?
Or any other method to resolve my issue would be appreciated :)
It is because the content of fldsContainer is rerendered every time with a brand new list of fields. You need to append to the container. Try something like the insertAdjacentHTML() method.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/insertAdjacentHTML
var fldsContainer = document.getElementById('fields');
var fld = '<p><input name="test[]" type="text"></p>';
function addField() {
fldsContainer.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', fld);
}
<div id="fields"></div>
<button onclick="addField()">Add More Field</button>
It may seem larger and maybe overkill but i prefer tracking all my inputs into an array so that i separate myself from needing to possibly query DOM elements in future.
var fldsContainer = document.getElementById('fields');
var fields = [];
function render() {
fldsContainer.innerHTML = getFields();
}
function addField() {
fields.push(fields.length ? getField(fields.length) : getField(0));
render();
}
function setValue(input, i) {
fields[i].value = input.value;
}
function getFields() {
var str = ''
fields.forEach(function(field) {
str += (`<p><input name="${field.name}" value="${field.value}" type="text" onchange="setValue(this, ${field.index})"></p>`);
});
return str;
}
function getField(index) {
return {
index,
name: `test${index}`,
value: ''
}
}
<div id="fields"></div>
<button onclick="addField()">Add More Field</button>
What I want to do is change one word of text on my webpage to run through a list of words.
ie:
<p>My favorite hobby is <u>fishing</u>!</p>
Where "fishing" would change after about 2 secs to the next word of a list of hobbies.
The closest example I've found is this
<div id="welcome">
<h3>Welcome, welcome, welcome!</h3>
<h3>Hang around a bit (for a surprise).</h3>
</div>
function ChangeIt() {
var newcontent = '
<h1>Click here ' +
'for a web page with more of the same.</h1>';
WriteContentIntoID("welcome",newcontent);
}
setTimeout("ChangeIt()",20000);
But I can't get it to work either.
Here's something simple using setInterval():
<p>My favorite hobby is <span id="ch">fishing</span>!</p>
<script>
var activities = ['eating', 'burping','coding'];
var i=0;
setInterval(function(){
document.getElementById("ch").innerHTML = activities[i];
if (i < activities.length-1) {
i++;
} else {
i=0;
}
}, 1000);
</script>
FIDDLE Demo
EDIT: changed to make it loop forever.
Use this:
<p>My favorite hobby is <u>fishing</u>!</p>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getnewword(){
return "me";// fix this section with getting new word!
}
function ChangeIt() {
$("p u").html(getnewword());
setTimeout("ChangeIt()",2000);
}
setTimeout("ChangeIt()",2000);
<script>
Programming is cool. You should try with some beginner JavaScript tutorials like http://www.w3schools.com/js/.
You must encapsulate your script with script tag and you must use selectors (like document.getElementById).
This is the full code:
<div id="welcome">
<h3>Welcome, welcome, welcome!</h3>
<h3 id="hobby">Hang around a bit (for a surprise).</h3>
</div>
<script>
// we start with 0
var currentHobby = 0;
function ChangeIt() {
// hobbies array
var hobbies = ["fishing", "eating", "drinking", "programming"];
// we save the current hobby in hobbyString and increment the currentHobby number
var hobbyString = hobbies[currentHobby];
currentHobby++;
// if the currentHobby number is too big, we start with 0 again
if(currentHobby >= hobbies.length) {
currentHobby = 0;
}
document.getElementById("hobby").innerHTML = "My favourite hobby is " + hobbyString;
}
setInterval("ChangeIt()",2000);
</script>
HTML PART
I am going to <span id="changingtext">InitialWord</span>
Javascript Part - You Need JQuery and call the following on onLoad
var texts = ["France", "Italy", "Ireland", "Wales"];
var count = 0;
function updateval() {
$("#changingtext").text(texts[count]);
count < 4 ? count++ : count = 0;
}
setInterval(updateval, 2000);

I'm creating a Time table generating website as a part of my project and I am stuck at one point.
Using for loop, I am generating user selected text boxes for subjects and faculties. Now the problem is that I cannot get the values of those dynamically generated text boxes. I want to get the values and store it into array so that I can then later on store it to database
If I am using localstorage, then it sometimes shows NaN or undefined. Please help me out.
Following is my Jquery code
$.fn.CreateDynamicTextBoxes = function()
{
$('#DynamicTextBoxContainer, #DynamicTextBoxContainer2').css('display','block');
InputtedValue = $('#SemesterSubjectsSelection').val();
SubjectsNames = [];
for (i = 0; i < InputtedValue; i++)
{
TextBoxContainer1 = $('#DynamicTextBoxContainer');
TextBoxContainer2 = $('#DynamicTextBoxContainer2');
$('<input type="text" class="InputBoxes" id="SubjectTextBoxes'+i+'" placeholder="Subject '+i+' Name" style="margin:5px;" value=""><br>').appendTo(TextBoxContainer1);
$('<input type="text" class="InputBoxes" id="FacultyTextBoxes'+i+'" placeholder="Subject '+i+' Faculty Name" style="margin:5px;" value=""><br>').appendTo(TextBoxContainer2);
SubjectsNames['SubjectTextBoxes'+i];
}
$('#DynamicTextBoxContainer, #UnusedContainer, #DynamicTextBoxContainer2').css('border-top','1px solid #DDD');
}
$.fn.CreateTimeTable = function()
{
for (x = 0; x < i; x++)
{
localStorage.setItem("Main"+x, +SubjectsNames[i]);
}
}
I am also posting screenshot for better understanding
I understand you create 2 text boxes for each subject, one for subject, and second one for faculty. And you want it as a jQuery plugin.
First of all, I think you should create single plugin instead of two, and expose what you need from the plugin.
You should avoid global variables, right now you have InputtedValue, i, SubjectsNames, etc. declared as a global variables, and I believe you should not do that, but keep these variables inside you plugin and expose only what you really need.
You declare your SubjectNames, but later in first for loop you try to access its properties, and actually do nothing with this. In second for loop you try to access it as an array, but it's empty, as you did not assign any values in it.
Take a look at the snippet I created. I do not play much with jQuery, and especially with custom plugins, so the code is not perfect and can be optimized, but I believe it shows the idea. I pass some selectors as in configuration object to make it more reusable. I added 2 buttons to make it more "playable", but you can change it as you prefer. Prepare button creates your dynamic text boxes, and button Generate takes their values and "print" them in result div. generate method is exposed from the plugin to take the values outside the plugin, so you can do it whatever you want with them (e.g. store them in local storage).
$(function() {
$.fn.timeTables = function(config) {
// prepare variables with jQuery objects, based on selectors provided in config object
var numberOfSubjectsTextBox = $(config.numberOfSubjects);
var subjectsDiv = $(config.subjects);
var facultiesDiv = $(config.faculties);
var prepareButton = $(config.prepareButton);
var numberOfSubjects = 0;
prepareButton.click(function() {
// read number of subjects from the textbox - some validation should be added here
numberOfSubjects = +numberOfSubjectsTextBox.val();
// clear subjects and faculties div from any text boxes there
subjectsDiv.empty();
facultiesDiv.empty();
// create new text boxes for each subject and append them to proper div
// TODO: these inputs could be stored in arrays and used later
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfSubjects; i++) {
$('<input type="text" placeholder="Subject ' + i + '" />').appendTo(subjectsDiv);
$('<input type="text" placeholder="Faculty ' + i + '" />').appendTo(facultiesDiv);
}
});
function generate() {
// prepare result array
var result = [];
// get all text boxes from subjects and faculties divs
var subjectTextBoxes = subjectsDiv.find('input');
var facultiesTextBoxes = facultiesDiv.find('input');
// read subject and faculty for each subject - numberOfSubjects variable stores proper value
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfSubjects; i++) {
result.push({
subject: $(subjectTextBoxes[i]).val(),
faculty: $(facultiesTextBoxes[i]).val()
});
}
return result;
}
// expose generate function outside the plugin
return {
generate: generate
};
};
var tt = $('#container').timeTables({
numberOfSubjects: '#numberOfSubjects',
subjects: '#subjects',
faculties: '#faculties',
prepareButton: '#prepare'
});
$('#generate').click(function() {
// generate result and 'print' it to result div
var times = tt.generate();
var result = $('#result');
result.empty();
for (var i = 0; i < times.length; i++) {
$('<div>' + times[i].subject + ': ' + times[i].faculty + '</div>').appendTo(result);
}
});
});

I'm working on something really simple, a short quiz, and I am trying to make the items I have listed in a 2-d array each display as a <li>. I tried using the JS array.join() method but it didn't really do what I wanted. I'd like to place them into a list, and then add a radio button for each one.
I have taken the tiny little leap to Jquery, so alot of this is my unfamiliarity with the "syntax". I skimmed over something on their API, $.each...? I'm sure this works like the for statement, I just can't get it to work without crashing everything I've got.
Here's the HTML pretty interesting stuff.
<div id="main_">
<div class="facts_div">
<ul>
</ul>
</div>
<form>
<input id="x" type="button" class="myBtn" value="Press Me">
</form>
</div>
And, here is some extremely complex code. Hold on to your hats...
$(document).ready (function () {
var array = [["Fee","Fi","Fo"],
["La","Dee","Da"]];
var q = ["<li>Fee-ing?","La-ing?</li>"];
var counter = 0;
$('.myBtn').on('click', function () {
$('#main_ .facts_div').text(q[counter]);
$('.facts_div ul').append('<input type= "radio">'
+ array[counter]);
counter++;
if (counter > q.length) {
$('#main_ .facts_div').text('You are done with the quiz.');
$('.myBtn').hide();
}
});
});
Try
<div id="main_">
<div class="facts_div"> <span class="question"></span>
<ul></ul>
</div>
<form>
<input id="x" type="button" class="myBtn" value="Press Me" />
</form>
</div>
and
jQuery(function ($) {
//
var array = [
["Fee", "Fi", "Fo"],
["La", "Dee", "Da"]
];
var q = ["Fee-ing?", "La-ing?"];
var counter = 0;
//cache all the possible values since they are requested multiple times
var $facts = $('#main_ .facts_div'),
$question = $facts.find('.question'),
$ul = $facts.find('ul'),
$btn = $('.myBtn');
$btn.on('click', function () {
//display the question details only of it is available
if (counter < q.length) {
$question.text(q[counter]);
//create a single string containing all the anwers for the given question - look at the documentation for jQuery.map for details
var ansstring = $.map(array[counter], function (value) {
return '<li><input type="radio" name="ans"/>' + value + '</li>'
}).join('');
$ul.html(ansstring);
counter++;
} else {
$facts.text('You are done with the quiz.');
$(this).hide();
}
});
//
});
Demo: Fiddle
You can use $.each to iterate over array[counter] and create li elements for your options:
var list = $('.facts_div ul');
$.each(array[counter], function() {
$('<li></li>').html('<input type="radio" /> ' + this).appendTo(list);
}
The first parameter is your array and the second one is an anonymous function to do your action, in which this will hold the current element value.
Also, if you do this:
$('#main_ .facts_div').text(q[counter]);
You will be replacing the contents of your element with q[counter], losing your ul tag inside it. In this case, you could use the prepend method instead of text to add this text to the start of your tag, or create a new element just for holding this piece of text.
