Can't get sessionStorage to work correctly - javascript

I have multiple buttons that when they are clicked an image is loaded and the image is supposed to stay there based even when the page refreshes. When I use this the button with the highest setItem value always shows even if I click on other button. How do I fix this?
here is one of the scripts:
<script type="text/javascript">
var isImage1 = sessionStorage.getItem('2');
function showImage1() {
sessionStorage.setItem('isImage1', '2');
$("#loadingImage1").show();
$("#loadingImage").hide();
$("#loadingImage2").hide();
$("#loadingImage3").hide();
$("#loadingImage4").hide();
$("#loadingImage5").hide();
$("#loadingImage6").hide();
}
if(isImage1 == 2) showImage1();
</script>
and here is one of my buttons:
<input name="EPL/MECH DESIGN - TECHS" style="white-space:normal"
onclick="moveText(this.name);showImage1();form1.submit()"
style="width: 275px" type="button" value="7SBD EPL/Mech. Design Techs" />
Update: I have updated this line
var isImage1 = sessionStorage.getItem('2');
to
var isImage1 = sessionStorage.getItem('isIamge1');
but my issue still exists, that the isImage with the largest value stays even when i click the other buttons, so help is still needed.

In your session storage, you are setting the value of the 'isImage1' Item to '2'
sessionStorage.setItem('isImage1', '2');
But in your code to retrieve the value you are actually retrieving the item '2'
var isImage1 = sessionStorage.getItem('2');
You need to change your sessionStorage.getItem to reference 'isImage1'
var isImage1 = sessionStorage.getItem('isImage1');
Then you should get the value you are expecting.
There are loads of good jsfiddles on session storage. you may get some ideas from this one:
http://jsfiddle.net/gabrieleromanato/XLRAH/
Incidently; this is a very small value you are storing, why not store it in a cookie instead?
EDIT:
based on the fact that you have multiple functions exactly like this one, you are better off following Ken's solution, the only thing I would add is a wildcard to turn off the other images:
function showImage(imgNum) {
sessionStorage.setItem('Image',imgNum);
$("[id^=loadingImage]").hide();
$("#loadingImage" + imgNum).show();
}
showImage(sessionStorage.getItem('Image'));
The code in the buttons would then be showImage(1) instead of showImage1();

By re-factoring the code a little you can do something like this:
/// setup some vars including max number of images
var maxImages = 6, i = 1, v;
/// now loop through and get the items for each image
for(; i =< maxImages; i++) {
v = sessionStorage.getItem('isImage' + i);
/// if in storage, call show image with the number to show
if (v !== null) showImage(i);
}
/// show image based on number
function showImage(num) {
sessionStorage.setItem('isImage' + num, '1');
$("#loadingImage" + num).show();
}
Also note that sessionStorage only deals with strings. So in order to check a specific number you need to convert it to one first parseInt(value, 10);.
But in this case the 1 that we set can be anything - it's just to store some value so sessionStorage doesn't return null.
In the button code you can change it to do this:
<input name="EPL/MECH DESIGN - TECHS" style="white-space:normal"
onclick="moveText(this.name);showImage(1);form1.submit()"
style="width: 275px" type="button" value="7SBD EPL/Mech. Design Techs" />

How to Change value of input after page loads?

I have used a range picker (Progress bar) to get measurements from the customers. I have set it's limit from 1 to 50 so it takes 1 value by default if user do not select it and user can add product to the cart without selecting range picker. Is there any way that we can change by default value on page load with javascript (No jQuery) to something that does not allow user to add product to the cart.
Link: https://cutt.ly/nrB4PAR
I am using this code now but it's not working. I want value to be null.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
debugger;
var range_val = document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value;
if (range_val == 1)
{
document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value = "";
}
</script>
UPDATED:
I’m not sure I really understand why you need this, but you have to put that code in a function, then call an event listener.
function changeVal() {
var range_val = document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value;
if (range_val == 1) {
document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value = "22";
}
}
window.addEventListner("load", changeVal);
Updating the input value after DOM loads will change the value.
function updateVal() {
var range_val = document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value;
if (range_val == 1) {
document.getElementById("tmcp_range_1").value = "22";
}
}
window.addEventListner("load", updateVal);
And also you need to change noUiSlider logic to update UI.

How do I use session variables with jQuery?

I have a button on one page another button on a different page. This second button has the text in it "0 items selected". When the first button is clicked I want to increase the number in the second button by one.
Seeing it is transferring data over different pages I didn't manage to do it the standard way.
Please do not suggest PHP, I am unable to use it.
var yetVisited = localStorage[0];
if ($('.#CallToActionCustomise').click()){
localStorage++;
}
$('.#CallToActionCustomise').click(function(){
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").append(localStorage);
});
<button class="Main_MenuButtonReview">0 items selected <i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button>
You need to access localStorage as if it were an Object, not an array.
Also, you can only store String values, so to get a number to perform math on, you will need to use parseInt.
localStorage.setItem('yetVisited', 0);
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").text(localStorage.yetVisited + ' items selected');
$('.CallToActionCustomise').click(function()){
localStorage.yetVisited = parseInt(localStorage.yetVisited) + 1;
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").text(localStorage.yetVisited + ' items selected');
}
Here's an example.
In addition to the above answer, I think you need to init some tag when it loaded.
Put this code on another page.
$(document).ready(function() {
if (typeof localStorage.yetVisited === 'undefined') {
localStorage.setItem('yetVisited', 0);
}
yetVisited = localStorage.yetVisited;
$('.Main_MenuButtonReview').text(yetVisited + ' items selected');
});
$(document).ready(function() {
// this area means after your page(document) ready completely.
});

jQuery - remove li from array with delete image

I'm attempting to make a menu bar that can have <li> elements added and removed. So far so good, but when I try and remove them I'm running into issues. I've toyed with this for a couple hours and now I'm wondering if this whole process could just be made easier (maybe an object?).
Anyways, here's the full code (80 lines), with comments to follow along.
var tabs = $('.accountSelectNav');
var titles = [];
var listItems = [];
// when the page loads check if tabs need to be added to the ul (menu bar)
$(document).ready(function(e) {
if ($.cookie('listItems') != null) {
console.log('not null');
//return "listItems" to it's array form.
listItems = JSON.parse($.cookie('listItems'));
$('.accountSelectNav').append(listItems);
}
});
$('.selectTable td:first-child').on('click', function(e) {
$('#home_select').removeClass('navHighlight');
//grab the text value of this cell
title = $(this).text();
$.ajax({
url:'core/functions/getAccountId.php',
type: 'post',
data: {'title' : title}
}).fail (function() {
alert('error');
}).done(function(data) {
accountId = $.trim(data);
// store values in the cookie
$.cookie('account_id', accountId, {expires : 7});
$.cookie('title', title, {expires : 7});
window.location = ('home_table.php');
});
// make sure the value is NOT currently in the array. Then add it
var found = jQuery.inArray(title, titles);
if (found == -1) {
titles.push(title);
addTab();
}
// make sure the value is NOT currently in the array. Then add it
found = jQuery.inArray(title, listItems);
if (found == -1) {
addListItem();
//place <li>'s in cookie so they may be used on multiple pages
$.cookie('listItems', JSON.stringify(listItems));
};
});
$("body").on("click", ".deleteImage", function (e) {
var removeTitle = $(this).closest('li').find('a').text();
var removeItem = $(this).closest('li')[0].outerHTML;
//remove title from "titles" array
titles = jQuery.grep(titles, function (value) {
return value != removeTitle;
});
//remove <li> from "listItems" array
listItems = jQuery.grep(listItems, function (value) {
return value != removeItem;
});
// this shows the <li> is still in the listItemsarray
console.log(listItems);
// put the array back in the cookie
$.cookie('listItems', JSON.stringify(listItems));
removeTab(this);
});
$("body").on("mouseover", ".accountSelectNav li", function(e) {
$(this).find('.deleteImage').show();
});
$("body").on("mouseleave", ".accountSelectNav li", function(e) {
$(this).find('.deleteImage').hide();
});
function addTab() {
tabs.append('<li class="navHighlight">' + '' + title + '' + '' + '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>' + '' + '</li>');
};
function removeTab(del) {
$(del).closest('li').remove();
}
function addListItem() {
var s = ('<li class="navHighlight">' + '' + title + '' + '' + '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>' + '' + '</li>');
listItems.push(s);
}
So you see I have two arrays of equal length that should always be the same length. One stores the title to be displayed in the tab, the other holds the html for the <li> which will be appended to the <ul>. I have no problem removing the title from its array. However removing the <li> from it's array is becoming a rather big hassle. You see when I get the <li> element after its been inflated the html inside does not exactly match what was put in, the browser adds style elements.
Example, the variable "removeItem" represents the html value of the selected <li> I wish to remove. It looks like this:
<li class="navHighlight">Test1<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage" style="display: inline;"></li>
yet the value in my array "listItems" looks like this:
<li class="navHighlight">Test1<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/></li>
So my attempt at removing it from my array always fails because they aren't a perfect match.
Now my question is how do I remove this <li> item? Also is there an easier way to do this whole process and I'm just not seeing it?
Thanks for your time.
EDIT
Fiddle by request here
Easiest way I can explain it.
Click the link to the fiddle.
Click any cell in the "App Name" column
This will add a <li> to the <ul> (menu) above of the table
When you hover over the <li> a picture appears
Click the picture
This should remove the <li>, both from the <ul> and from the array listItems
right now it does not
In the process of making this easier to check, I've taken your JSFiddle and did the following:
removed extra console.log and comments
removed interaction with cookies (since I did not have them in the first place, I figured they wouldn't just the first scenario)
After doing so I reached a point (you can see it here) where the desired functionality just works.
I even went ahead and removed the ajax stuff because that alert was driving me crazy. (here)
Since this works fine, my guess is that your issue lies between the lines that I removed.
Your usage of cookies is as follows:
To load existing tabs and add them back again
To save account_id and title, which is not used back again
To persist the listItems after a new item has been added
I then opened up the console with your version of the fiddle and the execution of javascript stops at $.cookie() with the error undefined is not a function.
This clearly indicates that the issue present in the Fiddle is that jQuery.cookie is not present and so those calls are halting the execution of the rest of your script. This also explains why it just started working when I took them out.
I posted the whole process of how I got there to indicate how I trimmed down the problem to specific parts, which is useful to reduce the problem space. When you're out of options and reach a place when you're lost, it's easier to post a question with less code and the specific part of the problem that you've identified. This will help you in finding the issues that you're facing and StackOverflow to provide proper answers to your questions.
Hope it helps!
Here is the solution I came up with. It should be much easier for people to understand than my original post. Although it's a long read it may be worth it, especially for new developers.
The point of this code is to make a menu bar out of an un-ordered list or <ul>. The menu bar needs to be used on multiple pages. So I'll be using cookies.
I start with this code to get a text value from my table.:
$('.selectTable td:first-child').on('click', function(e) {
// This value will be used later for the name of the tab or `<li>` inside our menu bar or `<ul>`
title = $(this).text();
});
Then I place the value in an array. I do this only if the array does not already have this string inside it. I do not want duplicates:
var found = jQuery.inArray(title, titles);
var titles = [];
if (found == -1) {
titles.push(title);
}
Then I store the array into a cookie, using a library like this:
$.cookie('titles', JSON.stringify(titles));
Now when any page loads that needs this menu bar I run this code to check if there are any values:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($.cookie('titles') != null) {
titles = JSON.parse($.cookie('titles'));
}
});
Now I need to loop through the array. When I loop through the array I have to do 3 things:
1) Grab the string value.
2) Add the html to my new string so it becomes a list item or <li>.
3) Append the newly created <li> to our <ul>.
Like so:
for(var i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
var str = titles[i];
var listItem = '<li class="navHighlight">'
+ '<a href="#">'
+ str
+ '</a>'
+ '<a href="#">'
+ '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>'
+ '</a>'
+ '</li>';
$('.accountSelectNav').append(listItem);
}
Now, if I want to remove this <li> I click the delete image found inside our <li>. What delete image you say? Look at the html I added again. You will see I add an <img> tag in there.
Now delete like so:
$("body").on("click", ".deleteImage", function (e) {
// grabs the text value of my li, which I want to remove
var removeTitle = $(this).closest('li').find('a').text();
// runs through my titles array and returns an array without the value above
titles = jQuery.grep(titles, function (value) {
return value != removeTitle;
});
});
Then I simply place the new array inside my cookie once again. Like this:
$.cookie('titles', JSON.stringify(titles));
And finally I remove the tab like this:
removeTab(this);
function removeTab(del) {
$(del).closest('li').remove();
}
Yay, I'm done. So now, if anyone has a more elegant way of accomplishing this I'm listening. I have no doubt there's a better way, javascript/jQuery isn't even close to my strong point.

Optimizing code to define variables only once, code only works when the vars are in change function and for the code outside change I redefine?

Pretty sure I know the solution... would write .on('change','load', function(){}
correct? <-- Tested didn't work? so I am up to your solutions :)
Sushanth -- && adeneo both came up with great solutions, this is a good lesson in optimizing code... It's gonna be hard to choose which answer to go with, but I know this is going to help me rethink how I write... I dont know what I do without this forum, id have to learn this stuff in college.
This is purely a question out of curiosity and bettering my skills, as well as giving you guys a chance to display your knowledge on jQuery. Also to prevent any sloppy writing.
I have a radio based switch box, the markup looks like this, the id's and on/off values are generated by the values in my array with PHP...
<span class="toggle-bg">//This color is the background of the toggle, I need jQuery to change this color based on the state on/off
<input type="radio" value="on" id="_moon_page_header_area1" name="_moon_page_header_area">//this is my on value generated by the array
<input type="hidden" value="_moon_page_header_area" class="switch-id-value">// I create this input because I have multiple checkboxes that have the ID _moon_ARRAYVALUE_area1
<input type="radio" value="off" id="_moon_page_header_area2" name="_moon_page_header_area">// off value
<input type="hidden" value="_moon_page_header_area" class="switch-id-value">//_moon_ARRAYVALUE_area2
<span class="switch"></span>// the switch button that changes
</span>
Hope that makes sense and the comments are clear
Here is the jQuery
var value = $('.toggle-bg input.switch-id-value').val()
var moon1 = $('#'+value+'1').is(':checked');
var moon2 = $('#'+value+'2').is(':checked');
var static_slide = $('._moon_staticarea_height');
var toggle = $('.toggle-bg');
if(moon1){
toggle.css({'background-color': '#46b692'});
static_slide.hide()
} else
if (moon2){
toggle.css({'background-color': '#333'});
static_slide.show()
}
$('.toggle-bg').change(function () {
var value = $('.toggle-bg input.switch-id-value').val()
var moon1 = $('#'+value+'1').is(':checked');
var moon2 = $('#'+value+'2').is(':checked');
var static_slide = $('._moon_staticarea_height');
var toggle = $('.toggle-bg');
if(moon1){
toggle.css({'background-color': '#46b692'});
static_slide.slideUp()
} else
if (moon2){
toggle.css({'background-color': '#333'});
static_slide.slideDown()
}
});
it looks longer than it really is, its just repeating it self, one is on load so that it gives the correct color on load of the page, and then inside the change function we need to change colors..
How do I write it so I only have to use variables one time (so its cleaner) is there a better way to optimize it... Just NOW thinking after writing this I could put it in one function .on('load', 'change', function() {}
I just now thought of that, but I wrote all this so I am going to see what others think...
You'd do that by having the function in the change event handler, and on the end you chain on a trigger('change') to make it work on pageload :
$('.toggle-bg').on('change', function () {
var value = $('.toggle-bg input.switch-id-value').val(),
moon1 = $('#' + value + '1').is(':checked'),
slider = $('._moon_staticarea_height'),
toggle = $('.toggle-bg');
toggle.css('background-color', (moon1 ? '#46b692' : '#333'));
slider[moon1?'slideUp':'slideDown']();
}).trigger('change');
As radiobuttons can't be unchecked, it's either moon1 or moon2, which means checking one of them should be enough.
.on('change','load',
supposed to be
// Remove the comma separator if you want to bind the same handler to
// multiple events.
.on('change load',
And you can remove the one separately written out and enclose it in a function (if multiple instances of the class toggle-bg)
or just trigger the change event.(If there is a single instance of a class)
This will just run the same functionality when the page loads.
var toggle = $('.toggle-bg');
toggle.change(function () {
var value = $('input.switch-id-value', this).val(),
moon1 = $('#' + value + '1').is(':checked'),
moon2 = $('#' + value + '2').is(':checked'),
static_slide = $('._moon_staticarea_height');
if (moon1) {
toggle.css({
'background-color': '#46b692'
});
static_slide.slideUp()
} else if (moon2) {
toggle.css({
'background-color': '#333'
});
static_slide.slideDown()
}
}).change();

More control when doing animations in Dashcode/Dashboard?

Recently I am giving another shot to Dashcode ;)
It's great. Is just I think is not well documented.
I have a stackLayout object with only two views in it, and a couple of buttons that interchange the views with a transition.(views show data of a large array, list)
Animations and transitions work perfect. The problem is, when I press a button while animating the animation starts again and it looks ugly (If I had n views for a datasource array of length n this should't be a problem, but this is not my case).
I want to disable buttons while animation is taking place.
Is there any callback, delegate, or any way I can get a notification when the animation is finished?
This is what I have done:
function _changeView(transitionDirection, newIndex){
//Create transition
var newTransition = new Transition(Transition.SWAP_TYPE, 0.9, Transition.EASE_TIMING);
newTransition.direction = transitionDirection;
//I only have two views. I use currentView's id to calculate not current view id and change text inside of it.
var stackLayout = document.getElementById('stackLayout').object;//stackLayout object
var nextViewId = (stackLayout.getCurrentView().id == 'view1')? '2':'1'; //
//change the text in the view that is going to appear
document.getElementById('text'+nextViewId).innerHTML = list[curIndex];
stackLayout.setCurrentViewWithTransition('view'+ nextViewId, newTransition, false);
}
function goPrevious(event)
{
curIndex--;
if(curIndex < 0){
curIndex = list.length-1;
}
_changeView(Transition.LEFT_TO_RIGHT_DIRECTION, curIndex);
}
function goNext(event)
{
curIndex++;
if(curIndex >list.length - 1){
curIndex = 0;
}
_changeView(Transition.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION, curIndex);
}
Eventually found the answer to this. Here's how I did it:
document.getElementById('stackLayout').object.endTransitionCallback=function(stackLayout, oldView, newView) {
//PUT CODE HERE USING stackLayout, oldView, newView to show params
}
In fact you can find all the stackLayout methods and properties in the StackLayout.js file in your project!!
Hope this helps
