I have following code
function insertDataToSurface(i) {
$("[name=[" + i + "].Height").val('#Model.Sides.SingleOrDefault(a => a.Name == "А").Surfaces.ElementAt(i))');
}
error
Cannot resolve symbol "i"
You are defining a JavaScript function that takes a parameter i then you are trying to use it within C# code #Model.Sides.SingleOrDefault(a => a.Name == "А").Surfaces.ElementAt(i)). For that latter piece of code to be valid, i must exist on the server, not as a parameter to the client function.
Assuming the selection does need to take place on the client, you have a couple of basic options:
Send all the Surfaces across to the client and use i within the function to select the required element of that data,
Have the JavaScript call back to the server requesting a partial view containing the data, supplying i as the parameter to the URL.

Main issue was solved in comments, although one of the bonus questions is still open and the other's solution could use some improvement
All of this takes place on a webhosting service, the folder structure is as follows:
The JavaScript and PHP files are in /public_html/, the JSON is in /public_html/data/.
In my JS code, I'm sending a POST request with some data for my JSON file:
console.log(objdata.buildings[0].coords);
var params = JSON.stringify(objdata);
if (objdata.buildings[0].coords != " "){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: params,
url: "writecoords.php",
success: function(data){
console.log(params);
console.log(data);
console.log("AJAX success");
},
error: function(){
console.log("failed to send POST");
alert("error");
}
});
}
PHP file:
<?php
function debug_to_console($data){
if(is_array($data) || is_object($data))
{
echo("\n".json_encode($data));
} else {
echo("\n".$data);
}
}
$newJSON = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
debug_to_console($newJSON);
if (is_writable('data/strogi.json')) {
$a = file_put_contents('data/strogi.json', $newJSON);
if(! $a)
debug_to_console("Wrote nothing");
debug_to_console("PHP write success");
} else {
debug_to_console("PHP write failed");
}
?>
As you can see, I perform a check at every possible point to see if I'm actually processing non-empty data -- I log the value of the key in question, the AJAX request is sent only if it was changed, I log the data being sent and I log the data my PHP file receives and decodes.
I also check if the file is writable to avoid a possible permission problem, and only then I try to write to the file. The file comes out empty and I get the following outputs in console
params is my JSON object as a single line;
data is: my JSON object as a single line with line breaks before every new object and all cyrillic converted to \u format, "Wrote nothing!", "PHP write success";
"AJAX success"
If I check the strogi.json file after this, it's absolutely empty.
To rule out a problem with the format of passed JSON object, I tried writing to a simple test.txt file in the same directory as the .php, which turns out empty as well.
I tried using the method described here, but nothing changed.
I tried using a FTP upload (the method is pointed out somewhere in the comments here), and I got "No such file or directory" returned both for the strogi.json and test.txt files. I used both public_html/test.txt and test.txt as file name.
I tried using the combination of locks FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX, and no changes happen to either of the files.
My questions are:
Why?
Can a different solution be used if all of this is taking place in the .done() callback for $.getJSON() called on the same file?
Follow-up question worthy of a separate section:
coords is a 3-dimensional array
[
[[x1,y1],[x2,y2],...]]
]
where the external array contains up to two arrays. The first array contains points of the external polygon and (if present) second array contains points of the internal polygon that serves as a cutout.
The code in question is an attempt to make submitting the coords array to strogi.json work for at least one object.
What I'm trying to do, in general, is
$.getJSON() the data/strogi.json file
go through the buildings[] array of objects inside it in the .done()
callback
for each object, check if "coords" is " " (default value)
If it is, a constructor is called to build a polygon using a map API, and when construction is finished, $.ajax is used to submit coords extracted through one of API's functions.
As of now, I'm submitting the whole JSON object, because I'm only working with one of the inner objects, but I imagine resubmitting the whole thing is excessive with multiple objects presented.
Is there a way to pass objdata.buildings[i].coords with the index i to PHP to change the "coords" key value in JSON for a certain buildings[i] object?
Do I need to make any changes to the way I'm processing data to make my JSON valid upon further reads? I assume I'd have to change the "coords" value from [[[x1,y1],[x2,y2]]] (the way it's passed now) to something like this (pastebin because there's no code formatting even though I'm using the 4 space indent)
for it to work, right? How do I do that? partly solved by going through the array in JS with two for() loops and applying toString() to every coordinate, there's gotta be a better way
NOTE: This is not for web programming. We use javascript to interface with low level hardware, hence let's not go with jQuery APIs etc.
I have a javascript file that performs a sequence of actions on a device, and I have a python file that will be invoked later to validate these actions. There is a set of hardware information hard-coded in both javascript file and python file. I want to avoid this duplication of information by putting these info into a JSON file so both can access it.
// Javascript
var hardware_info = JSON.parse(load('hardware.json'));
// load() is probably not standard javascript API, but it basically copies that code into the existing script.
Already failed by this step because 'hardware.json' is not using javascript syntax...
I already validated the json using jshint/jslint, hardware.json looks like this:
{
"hardware1": {
"ID": "xxx"
},
"hardware2": {
"ID": "yyy"
}
}
The following Python works well for accessing the json, there is not much to it:
with open('hardware.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
It looks like load() executes the specified file, not read it and return the contents. If this is your only option to read another file, then I suggest you use JSONP instead of JSON.
JSONP works by adding a callback around the data. Instead of:
{"key": "value"}
the file contains a function call with the data being passed in:
callback({"key": "value"});
This is meant to be executed by a JavaScript engine, causing it to execute the callback. load() would execute your file, and the callback function would be called as a result, passing in the data.
When used on the web, you'd call a JSONP service and pass in the name of the callback the service should add, but when just sharing a configuration file between a JS engine and Python, you'd hardcode that callback name.
In Python, you'd have to strip off the callback text before loading it as JSON data. That could be as easy as just removing the first N and last M characters:
with open('hardware.json', 'r') as f:
jsonp_data = f.read()
# remove first 9 and last 3 characters to remove JSONP callback
data = json.loads(jsonp_data[9:-3])
A little more sophisticated technique could use newlines:
callback(
{"key": "value"}
);
to make it easier to remove the first and last line in Python. Or you could use jsonp_data.partition('(')[-1].jsonp.rpartition(')')[0] to take everything between the first ( and the last ) character in the string. Etc.
i have 2 web pages containing same JSON string. one work fine with java-script function.but other one is completely not working.the only different between these two is url.
here is the page that is working fine with the js function.
(http://jsfiddle.net/echo/jsonp/?test=some+html+content&callback=?)
here is the one that is not working with the js function.
(http://sanjeewa88.byethost31.com/EMPStore/test_json.html)
here is my java-script function
function doJSON() {
$.getJSON('http://jsfiddle.net/echo/jsonp/?test=some+html+content&callback=?', function (data) {
$('#allemployees').append("<li>" + data.test+ "</li>");
});
}
what's wrong with second page and how i fix it to access that page through js function.
PS-
i want to display these data in a listview. first one is displaying that remote data on the listview.but second one which having same json string is not displaying anything.
On the page you provide the json you have to accept a para callback and use this parameter to generate the function name.
look what's happen when you call jsfiddle callback with an other name:
http://jsfiddle.net/echo/jsonp/?test=some+html+content&callback=poney
give:
poney({"test": "some html content"});
You have more information here: jQueryDoc
If the URL includes the string "callback=?" (or similar, as defined by the server-side API), the request is treated as JSONP instead. See the discussion of the jsonp data type in $.ajax() for more details.
I want to pass dynamic values inside parameters of script.aculo.us for auto suggestion in my jsp page
Below is my code where i want to get the value of checkbox and pass it to server. But in server side jsp its printing as it is ( i.e instead pf checkbox value its printing document.getElementById("mgmtsystem").checked )
<div class="auto_complete" id="object_name_auto_complete"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
new Ajax.Autocompleter('<%=name%>', 'object_name_auto_complete', '<%=request.getContextPath()%>/component/ajax_introdata', { parameters: 'suggEnable= document.getElementById("mgmtsystem").checked' })
</script>
In above code i'm trying to send the value of document.getElementById("mgmtsystem").checked but its just passing it as same instead its value
If you copied your javascript into the question as it is on your code - this is why
This code does not let document.getElementById(....) get evaluated and treats it as a string
{ parameters: 'suggEnable= document.getElementById("mgmtsystem").checked' }
Try this
{ parameters: 'suggEnable='+document.getElementById("mgmtsystem").checked }
Or better yet use the utility methods built in to PrototypeJS
{ parameters: 'suggEnable='+$("mgmtsystem").checked }
I'm trying to access JSON data with jQuery and grab a specific set of values based on a variable. I've done this before using [] but for some reason I can't figure out what is going wrong this time.
My JSON file (being read in by getJSON, and named jsonmaker.php) looks like this:
{"0107001":{"label":"Canada","x":"0","y":"0.34"},"0107002":{"label":"USA","x":"-0.16","y":"0.53"}}
I then have a function which is essentially this:
function addAttrib(attrib) {
$.getJSON("jsonmaker.php", function(data) {
alert(data[attrib].label);
}
}
But it keeps returning undefined. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've checked to make sure the var going to attrib is 0107001, no problems there.
Also, I know my JSON file is a php file so I could filter what's returned to match the attrib value, but I'm looking to develop something that can run purely on HTML and JS, so I could just pack the JSON file for the project and take it with me. No need for a web server w/ PHP etc.
The data access itself works for me:
var data = {"0107001":{"label":"Canada","x":"0","y":"0.34"},"0107002":{"label":"USA","x":"-0.16","y":"0.53"}};
var attrib = "0107002";
alert(data[attrib].label); // USA
Make sure that attrib remains untouched between the moment you call addAttrib() and the moment when the AJAX request completes and your anonymous callback function gets called.
Update: is this your real code? You have at least one syntax error:
function addAttrib(attrib) {
$.getJSON("jsonmaker.php", function(data) {
alert(data[attrib].label);
}); // <- Please note missing ");"
}
In my experience, $.getJSON() doesn't always return an object. Depending on the MIME type that the server returns along with the JSON, you might end up with a string instead of an object. Check what data contains. If it's a string, you must manually parse it using eval() (old style) or JSON.parse() (new browsers only).
try to list all properties from data, to have sure the data is being returned:
for (var p in data){
if (data.hasOwnProperty(p){
alert(data[p]);
}
}
It's not your solution but with this you can know how your data is coming.
