i have this code :
function createTable(tabletop, tableside, gridbutton, tabletype){
var spinner = createSpinner();
var table = '<table><tr><th> </th>';
for(var j = 0; j < tabletop.length; j++){
table +='<th scope="col">' + tabletop[j]+ '</th>'; // creates tableheader horizontally
}
table+='</tr>';
for(var i = 0; i < tableside.length; i++) {
table+='<tr><th>' + tableside[i] + '</th>' ; // creates table header vertically
for(var j = 0; j < tabletop.length; j++){ // inserts tablecell
table +='<td>';
function createButtons(tabletop[j], tableside[i], tabletype){
var rolebuttons = new Array();
var phasebuttons = new Array();
var systembuttons = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < Articles.length; i++){
if(tabletype == 'role'){
if(contains(Article[i].System, tabletop[j] && Article[i].Phase, tableside[i])){
$.each(rolebuttons, function(i, a){
if($.inArray(a, rolebuttons) === -1) rolebuttons.push(a);
)};
table += '<input type="button" value="'+ rolebuttons[i] + '" class="'+ tabletype +'button" onclick="createListView(\'' + rolebuttons[i] + '\', \'' + tabletop[j] +'\', \''+ tableside[i] +'\', \'role\');"/>';
}
}else if(tabletype == 'phase'){
if(contains(Article[i].System, tabletop[j] && Article[i].Role, tableside[i])){
$.each(phasebuttons, function(i, a){
if($.inArray(a, phasebuttons) === -1) phasebuttons.push(a);
)};
}else if(tabletype == 'system'){
if(contains(Articles[i].Role, tabletop[j] && Article[i].Phase, tableside[i])){
$.each(systembuttons, function(i, a){¨
if($.inArray(a, systembuttons) === -1) systembuttons.push(a);
)};
}
}
}
}
table += '</td>';
}
table += '</tr>';
}
table+=('</table>');
$('body').html('<div class="wrapper">' + table + spinner + '</div>');
return table;
}
and I keep getting the message : Expected ')' at line xxx char xxx (in the middle of the tabletop variable):
this line:
function createButtons(tabletop[j], tableside[i], tabletype){
but I really cant see what the problem is?
did I go blind? :)
hop you can help me out :)

Firstly, you have some syntax mistakes in your code; I'm assuming you accidentally included some other characters in your code.
For example, the speech mark shouldn't appear here:
$.each(systembuttons, function(i, a){¨
Regarding your problem, parameter names cannot contain brackets. I can understand what you are trying to do in regards to running your original loop and then you are thinking that you can get the current loop iteration however this isn't how it works.
I think that you need not create a function called "createButtons". I would simply include your function's contents within your original loop.
Also, just a tip - try not to take directness as an insult, I'm sure the commentator didn't mean to come across as rude, he/she simply keeps things direct to get straight to the point. It enables us all to get the correct answer for you quicker :)

How to list blogger posts by label in alphabetic order

I am trying to list my blog posts under a specific label in alphabetic order. Since I am not a programmer, I found this code from internet, which lists all my posts labeled "subtitles" in a chronological order. I didn't find any way to sort the result in alphabetic order. Previously I was using yahoo pipes for this purpose, since yahoo pipe no longer exists this kind of code is very much needed. Any other code which might give the proposed result is also appreciated.
<!-- Recent Posts by Label Start -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function recentpostslist(json) {
document.write('<ol>');
for (var i = 0; i < json.feed.entry.length; i++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < json.feed.entry[i].link.length; j++) {
if (json.feed.entry[i].link[j].rel == 'alternate') {
break;
}
}
var entryUrl = "'" + json.feed.entry[i].link[j].href + "'";//bs
var entryTitle = json.feed.entry[i].title.$t;
var item = "<li>" + "' + entryTitle + " </li>";
document.write(item);

Double for loop multidimensional array javascript

Im using ajax to return some json. Here is what the json looks like.
[{"optionValue":"11","optionDisplay":"Canon","preitem":`[{"preitemId":"15","preitemLabel":"Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8L Macro IS USM "},{"preitemId":"18","preitemLabel":"12412"},{"preitemId":"21","preitemLabel":"Sonydas1df Test"}]},{"optionValue":"20","optionDisplay":"Nikon","preitem":""},{"optionValue":"21","optionDisplay":"Audio & Aerial","preitem":""},{"optionValue":"23","optionDisplay":"Sony","preitem":[{"preitemId":"19","preitemLabel":"Sony 1412Test"},{"preitemId":"20","preitemLabel":"Son124124y Test"}]}]`
From what you can see here each option has a few preitems.
For example Canon has the preitems Canon EF 100mm, 12412 and Sonydas1df Test.
The goal is to output everything onto a html page.
So canon will have its own heading with its pre items under it.
Here is my code.
for (var i = 0; i < j.length; i++) {
for (var u = 0; u < j[i].preitem.length; u++) {
preitems += j[i].preitem[u].preitemLabel+'<br>';
}
options += '<div class="itemBlock"><b>'+ j[i].optionDisplay +'</b><input class="subcheckboxes" type="checkbox" id="checkit" value="' + j[i].optionValue + '">' + j[i].optionDisplay + '</input><div class="" id="subcat' + j[i].optionValue + '">'+preitems+'</div></div>';
}
$("#subcat").html(options);
The main options (canon,etc) get displayed fine. However it does not output the only the pritems which are in the option. It outputs every single preitem in the whole json returned.
I want to only show the preitems which are in the option.
Thanks
You aren't resetting preitems
You probably want...
for (var i = 0; i < j.length; i++) {
preitems = '';
for (var u = 0; u < j[i].preitem.length; u++) {
...
When traversing multi-dimensional data objects, you need more specifically identify which actions happen how many times and where. Your plan of just scooping up all of the pre-items and dumping them for each item is fine if you reset the pre-items as rjdown suggests. I'd try something like this instead though:
for (var i = 0, lenj = j.length; i < lenj; i++) {
options += '<div class="itemBlock"><b>'+ j[i].optionDisplay +'</b><input class="subcheckboxes" type="checkbox" id="checkit" value="' + j[i].optionValue + '">' + j[i].optionDisplay + '</input><div class="" id="subcat' + j[i].optionValue + '">';
for (var u = 0, lenu = j[i].preitem.length; u < lenu; u++) {
options += j[i].preitem[u].preitemLabel+'<br>';
}
options += '</div></div>';
}
$("#subcat").html(options);
I feel like this is much more readable and fixes your problem.

I am facing an issue with JavaScript.I see that it works fine in chrome but not in IE9.This would not display what chrome is displaying on the web page as expected.
I am new to JavaScripting can I get help in fixing this issue.
<script type="text/javascript">
var tds = document.getElementById('course_table')
.getElementsByTagName('td');
var sum = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {
if (tds[i].className == 'count-me') {
sum += isNaN(tds[i].innerHTML) ? 0
: parseInt(tds[i].innerHTML);
}
}
var lastrecord = tds[tds.length - 2].innerHTML;
var table = document.getElementById('course_table')
.getElementsByTagName('tr');
var max = table.length - 2;
document.getElementById('course_table').innerHTML += '<tr bgcolor=#FFCCFF><td></td><td>Total Courses</td><td>' + max + '</td><td>Total Credits Remaining</td><td>'+ sum + '</td><td> Expected Graduation Date</td><td></td><td>' + lastrecord + '</td><td></td></tr> ';
</script>
Thanks

The problem is most likely in the last line:
document.getElementById('course_table').innerHTML += '<tr bgcolor=#FFCCFF><td></td><td>fsffd</td><td>' + max + '</td><td>abcdRemaining</td><td>'+ sum + '</td><td> abc</td><td></td><td>' + lastrecord + '</td><td></td></tr> ';
IE doesn't handle trs being added by strings; besides it is non-standard. Replace that line with this, it programmatically builds up the row and is faster. I added the corresponding <td> as comments.
var table = document.getElementById('course_table');
var row = table.insertRow(-1);
row.style.backgroundColor = '#FFCCFF'; // `bgcolor` attribute is deprecated
row.insertCell(-1); // <td></td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = "fsffd"; // <td>fsffd</td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = max; // <td>' + max + '</td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = "abcdRemaining"; // <td>abcdRemaining</td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = sum; // <td>' + sum + '</td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = "abc"; // <td> abc</td>
row.insertCell(-1); // <td></td>
row.insertCell(-1).textContent = lastRecord; // <td>' + lastRecord + '</td>
row.insertCell(-1); // <td></td>
The important methods here are insertRow and insertCell, they are guaranteed to work. textContent is faster and safer than innerHTML. Please use CSS instead of the deprecated bgcolor attribute
Internet Explorer doesn't like adding <tr> elements to the <table> in that manner. What you can do is append a new <tbody> element to the table:
// ... the first part of your function ...
var lastrecord = tds[tds.length - 2].innerHTML;
var table = document.getElementById('course_table');
var newbody = document.createElement('tbody');
newbody.innerHTML = '<tr bgcolor=#FFCCFF><td></td><td>Total Courses</td><td>' + max + '</td><td>Total Credits Remaining</td><td>'+ sum + '</td><td> Expected Graduation Date</td><td></td><td>' + lastrecord + '</td><td></td></tr> ';
table.appendChild(newbody);

Adding ending </tr> tags to an HTML strings within loop

I have an array of elements I would like to put into an HTML table:
var tags_arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19];
I can make an HTML table by simply placing beginning <tr> tags every 4th iteration:
var checks = "<table border=1>";
for (var c = 0; c < tags_arr.length; c++){
if (c%4 == 0){
checks += "<tr>";
}
checks += "<td>" + tags_arr[c] + "</td>";
}
checks += "</table>";
$("body").append(checks);
JSBIN
However this solution relies on the browser to inject the closing <\tr> tag when it "sees" the new opening tag. The browser also seems not to care that the last row has fewer <td> cells than the previous rows do.
It works, but is there a way to make expand this so as not to completely rely on the browser. I've tried using a regex to inject them into the string, but it seems like there should be a way to do so in the loop. Is it feasible? Or since it only has to work in modern browsers, can I just rely on Chrome and Firefox to do the cleanup for me?
EDIT:
hacky regex way:
checks = checks.replace(/(<tr>)/g, "</tr><tr>").replace(/<\/tr>/, "");
checks += "</tr></table>";
The HTML5 spec explicitly tells us that it's not necessary to close <tr> and <td> tags in the obvious scenarios:
No need to close a <td> before the next <td> or <tr> or table block section (<tbody>, <tfoot>), or the </table> closing tag.
No need to close a <tr> before the next <tr>, block section, or table close.
I seriously doubt you'll run into modern browsers that won't do the right thing here. I bet even IE6 will do it properly.
You can simply append the TR closing tag before appending the starting TR tag:
for (var c = 0; c < tags_arr.length; c++){
if (c%4 == 0){
if (c !== 0) checks +="</tr>";
checks += "<tr>";
}
checks += "<td>" + tags_arr[c] + "</td>";
}
checks += "</tr></table>";
PS: Take care of the edge cases.
EDIT:
A more elgant solution is to distribute the items in arrays before hand:
var distributed = [];
var tags_arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19];
while(tags_arr.length > 0) {
distributed.push(tags_arr.splice(0,4));
}
And then use some smart loops to create the html:
var html = distributed.reduce(function(html, item){
var td = item.reduce(function(html, item){
return html + '<td>' + item + '</td>';
}, '');
return html + '<tr>' + td + '</tr>';
}, '');
html = '<table border=1>' + html + '</table>';
for (var c = 0; c < tags_arr.length; c++){
if (c%4 == 0){
if (c > 0) {
checks += "</tr>";
}
checks += "<tr>";
}
checks += "<td>" + tags_arr[c] + "</td>";
}
if (c > 0) { // Don't add a closing tag if there were no rows at all
checks += "</tr>";
}
Just close the tr tag before opening one. If c == 0 no tag have been opened yet.
Don't forget to close the last tag after the for loop
var checks = "<table border=1>";
for (var c = 0; c < tags_arr.length; c++){
if (c%4 == 0){
if (c > 0)
checks += "</tr>"
checks += "<tr>";
}
checks += "<td>" + tags_arr[c] + "</td>";
}
if (tags_arr.length > 0)
checks += "</tr>"
var cell = 0, len = tags_arr.length;
for(var row = 0; cell < len; row++) {
checks += '<tr>';
for(var col = 0; col < 4 && cell < len; col++, cell++)
checks += '<td>' + tags_arr[cell] + '</td>';
checks += '</tr>';
}
The correct solution - no divisions, no exceptional cases, no extra memory.

I want to find Empty tr in table, is there any way to find it?
after finding empty row I want to insert some data in it.
Supposing you have this HTML :
<table id=tbl>
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td></td></tr> <!-- this line is empty -->
<tr><td>A</td><td>B</td></tr>
</table>
Then you can fill the empty line like this :
var rows = document.getElementById('tbl').rows;
for (var i=0; i<rows.length; i++) {
var txt = rows[i].textContent || rows[i].innerText;
if (txt.trim()==="") rows[i].innerHTML="<td>Something</td>";
}
Demonstration
This uses :
the rows property of the table
textContent (or innerText for IE) to get the content without the tags
As this also use the trim function which isn't available in IE8, you might want to add this shim :
if(!String.prototype.trim) {
String.prototype.trim = function () {
return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'');
};
}
There might be better ways, this is what occurred to me.
$('tr').each(function() {
if($(this).find('td').length == 0) {
// empty tr
// id of tr is available through this.id
}
});
Maybe something like this $('table tr:empty').html('....')
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
var table = tables[0];
var trs = table.getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (var i = 0; i < trs.length; i++) {
if (trs[i].innerHTML === '') {
console.log('EMPTY', trs[i]);
} else {
console.log('NOT EMPTY', trs[i]);
}
}
I think its not easy. You can see this link.
HTML:
<table id="table" style="border: 1px solid green;"><tbody>
<tr id="empty"></tr>
<tr id="withText"><font style="color: red;">text</font></tr>
<tr id="withEmptyTd"><td></td></tr>
<tr id="withTdWithText"><td>text</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div id="output"></div>
Javascript:
var output = document.getElementById('output');
var table = document.getElementById('table');
var trs = table.querySelectorAll('tr');
var tr, id, text, tds, j, td, tdText;
for (var i = 0; i < trs.length; i++) {
tr = trs[i];
id = tr.id;
output.innerHTML += "Getting tr[" + id + "]<br />";
text = tr.innerHTML;
output.innerHTML += "tr[" + id + "].innerHTML = \"" + text + "\" it's length = " + text.length + "<br />";
tds = tr.querySelectorAll('td');
output.innerHTML += "tr[" + id + "] have " + tds.length + " tds<br />";
for (j = 0; j < tds.length; j++) {
td = tds[j];
tdText = td.innerHTML;
output.innerHTML += "tr[" + id + "] -> td[" + j + "].innerHTML = \"" + tdText + "\" its length = " + tdText.length + "<br />";
}
}
And output will be:
Getting tr[empty]
tr[empty].innerHTML = "" it's length = 0
tr[empty] have 0 tds
Getting tr[withText]
tr[withText].innerHTML = "" it's length = 0
tr[withText] have 0 tds
Getting tr[withEmptyTd]
tr[withEmptyTd].innerHTML = "" it's length = 9
tr[withEmptyTd] have 1 tds
tr[withEmptyTd] -> td[0].innerHTML = "" its length = 0
Getting tr[withTdWithText]
tr[withTdWithText].innerHTML = "text" it's length = 13
tr[withTdWithText] have 1 tds
tr[withTdWithText] -> td[0].innerHTML = "text" its length = 4
Cause any tag or text in tr but not in td shows before the table.
