convert object to string in Javascript

UPDATED QUESTION
here is my code :
function BillerDetails() {
var iState = _xmlCFHttp.readyState;
var sStatus = "";
if (iState == 4) {
if (_xmlCFHttp.responseXML.xml != "") {
var $accNum = $("#CXACNUM");
var $accNme = $("#CXACNAM");
_xmlCFRecv.loadXML(_xmlCFHttp.responseXML.xml);
sStatus = _xmlCFRecv.selectSingleNode("/result/status").text;
if (sStatus == "1") {
if ($("#CXCLRCD option[value='" + $(this).children("Data1").text() + "']").length == 0) {
$("#CXACNUM").val($("#CXACNUM").val("Data5"));
$("#CXACNAM").val($("#CXACNAM").val("Data4"));
}
} else {
var msg = _xmlCFRecv.selectSingleNode("/result/message").text;
if (msg != "") {
alert(msg);
}
}
}
}
}
Data4 and Data5 is a field inside the database. these need to be display in the textbox. however as previous, it return output at the textbox as below :
Object Object

However when it display, it give me output :
[Object object]
This is because you are setting the returned value of val back to the same input, which is a jquery object
You need to simply do
$("#CXACNUM").val( JSON.stringify( Data5 ) );

Try using JSON.stringify as
$("#CXACNUM").val(JSON.sringify(Data5));

function BillerDetails() {
var iState = _xmlCFHttp.readyState;
var sStatus = "";
if (iState == 4) {
if (_xmlCFHttp.responseXML.xml != "") {
var $accNum = $("#CXACNUM");
var $accNme = $("#CXACNAM");
_xmlCFRecv.loadXML(_xmlCFHttp.responseXML.xml);
sStatus = _xmlCFRecv.selectSingleNode("/result/status").text;
if (sStatus == "1") {
if ($("#CXCLRCD option[value='" + $(this).children("Data1").text() + "']").length == 0) {
var Data4Val=$(this).children("Data4").text();
var Data5Val=$(this).children("Data5").text();
$("#CXACNUM").val($("#CXACNUM").val(Data5Val));
$("#CXACNAM").val($("#CXACNAM").val(Data4Val));
}
} else {
var msg = _xmlCFRecv.selectSingleNode("/result/message").text;
if (msg != "") {
alert(msg);
}
}
}
}
}
i have updated your code. hope this will work

four repeating letters check javascript, spam detection

Is there a a "smarter" way to do this? This works but I imagine has something to do with for loops, what if I was checking for 20 repeating characters?
What happens if javascript is disabled?
Is there an easier way to check for "sensical" posts instead of say aldjfalkfja;lfjaklfjlkfj how would I filter that out without storing a library of words and comparing the string to those?
function counter(){
this.value = 0;
}
var count = new counter();
function updatecount(fnc){
fnc.value = count.value + 1;
}
function charbank1(){
this.value = "";
}
var cb1 = new charbank1();
function insertchar1(fnc){
fnc.value = cb1.value + String.fromCharCode(keynum);
}
function charbank2(){
this.value = "";
}
var cb2 = new charbank2();
function insertchar2(fnc){
fnc.value = cb2.value + String.fromCharCode(keynum);
}
function charbank3(){
this.value = "";
}
var cb3 = new charbank3();
function insertchar3(fnc){
fnc.value = cb3.value + String.fromCharCode(keynum);
}
function charbank4(){
this.value = "";
}
var cb4 = new charbank4();
function insertchar1(fnc){
fnc.value = cb4.value + String.fromCharCode(keynum);
}
function repeatingcharcheck(){
if(count.value < 4){
if(count.value == 1){
insertchar1(cb1);
}
if(count.value == 2){
insertchar2(cb2);
}
if(count.value == 3){
insertchar3(cb3);
}
if(count.value == 4){
insertchar4(cb4);
}
}else{
if(cb1.value == cb2.value == cb3.value == cb4.value){
alert('four letters in a row is not allowed');
window.location.replace('somewhere.com');
}
}
}

Else-if syntax error?

var to = ['user1', '#user2', 'user3#email.com']
The following codeset should keep 'user1' in the to array, remove the '#' from the start of '#user2', and move 'user3#email.com' to the toEmail array
Right now, else if (toName[j] == '#') { is logging 'syntax error'
var toEmail = [];
var pushToEmail;
for (i=0; i<to.length; i++) {
var pushToEmail = false;
var toName = to[i];
for (j=0; j<toName.length; j++) {
if (toName[0] == '#') {
toName[0] = toName[0].replace(/#/g, ''); // remove '#''
}
console.log('toName[0] = ' + toName[0]);
else if (toName[j] == '#') {
pushToEmail = true;
break;
}
}
if (pushToEmail == true) {
toEmail += to.splice(INDEX, 1)[i];
}
}

You have a syntax error. You can't just throw a console.log in the space between an if and an else. The else has to be attached to an if statement, you've tried to attach that else to a console.log.

Any Good Number Picker for JQuery (or Javascript)?

Are there any good number picker for jquery (or standalone js)?
I would like a number picker where there is a max and min number that the user can choose from. Also, it have other options such as displaying odd number or even number or prime number or a range of number whereby some numbers in between are skipped.

Using a select to do this you can create an array with the numbers to skip and do a for loop to write the options:
int minNumber = 0;
int maxNumber = 10;
int[] skipThese = { 5, 7 };
for (int i = minNumber; i <= maxNumber; i++)
{
if(!skipThese.Contains(i)) Response.Write(String.Concat("<option value=\"", i, "\">", i, "</option>"));
}
You can do this with razor or any other way to output the HTML.
You can also do this with jQuery, dynamicaly, following the same idea:
$(document).ready(function() {
var minNumber = 0;
var maxNumber = 10;
var skipThese = [5, 7];
for (var i = minNumber; i <= maxNumber; i++) {
if ($.inArray(i, skipThese) == -1) $('#selectListID').append("<option value=\"" + i + "\">" + i + "</option>");
}
});
Edit:
Or you can use the C# code above in an aspx page and load it with AJAX from the page:
Create a select box in the page:
<select name="numPicker" id="numPicker">
<option>Loading...</option>
</select>
In a script in this page you could use jQuery's ajax() to fetch the data and populate the <select>:
$(document).ready(function() {
var numPickerSelect = $("#numPicker");
$.ajax({
url: 'url/to/page.aspx',
type: 'post'
success: function(data) {
numPickerSelect.find('option').remove(); // Remove the options in the select field
numPickerSelect.append(data); // Load the content generated by the server into the select field
},
error: function() {
alert('An error has ocurred!');
}
});
//Or use this (not sure if will work)
numPickerSelect.load("url/to/page.aspx");
});

I have used this. You should be able to modify to add extra options such as min and max fairly easily.
// Make a control only accept numeric input
// eg, $("#myedit").numeric()
// $("#myedit").numeric({alow: ' ,.'})
// $("#myedit").numeric({decimals: 2})

regex with urls

I check if a given url matches another one (which can have wildcards).
E.g. I have the following url:
john.doe.de/foo
I'd now like to check whether the url is valid or not, the user defines the string to check with, e.g:
*.doe.de/*
That works fine, but with the following it should NOT work but it gets accepted:
*.doe.de
Here the function i wrote till now, the urls are stored as firefox prefs and i the "checkedLocationsArray" containts all urls to be checked.
function checkURLS(index)
{
if(index >= 0)
{
var pos = getPos("URL-Mask");
var url = tables[index][pos];
if(url != null && url != "")
{
var urlnow = "";
if(redlist_pref.prefHasUserValue("table.1"))
{
var checkedLocationsArray = new Array();
for(i = 0; i < tables.length; i++)
{
checkedLocationsArray[i] = tables[i][pos];
}
for(i=0;i<checkedLocationsArray.length;i++)
{
urlnow = checkedLocationsArray[i];
if(urlnow == url)
{
return true;
}
if(urlnow.indexOf('*.') != -1)
{
while(urlnow.indexOf("*.") != -1)
urlnow = urlnow.replace("\*.", "\.[^\.]*");
}
if(urlnow.indexOf('.*') != -1)
{
while(urlnow.indexOf(".*") != -1)
urlnow = urlnow.replace(".\*", "([^\.]*\.)");
}
if(urlnow.indexOf('/*') != -1)
{
while(urlnow.indexOf("/*") != -1)
urlnow = urlnow.replace("/*", /\S\+*/)
}
else if(url.lastIndexOf('/') != -1)
{
return false;
}
var regex = new RegExp(urlnow);
var Erg = regex.exec(url);
if(Erg != null)
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
}
i think the "else if(url.indexOf('/') != -1)" is the important part. It should work just fine like that, if I alert it I even get that the result is true but it seems like the if is not being executed..
If anything is unclear, please just post a comment. Thanks in advance!

Why don't you just add the characters for beginning and end of string?
function checkURLS(index)
{
if(index >= 0)
{
var pos = getPos("URL-Mask");
var url = tables[index][pos];
if(url != null && url != "")
{
var urlnow = "";
if(redlist_pref.prefHasUserValue("table.1"))
{
var checkedLocationsArray = new Array();
for(i = 0; i < tables.length; i++)
{
checkedLocationsArray[i] = tables[i][pos];
}
for(i=0;i<checkedLocationsArray.length;i++)
{
urlnow = checkedLocationsArray[i];
if(urlnow == url)
{
return true;
}
//Check there's nothing else in the string
urlnow = '^' + urlnow + '$';
if(urlnow.indexOf('*') != -1)
{
while(urlnow.indexOf("*") != -1)
urlnow = urlnow.replace("\*", ".*");
}
else if(urlnow.lastIndexOf('/') != -1)
{
return false;
}
var regex = new RegExp(urlnow);
var Erg = regex.exec(url);
if(Erg != null)
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
}

The problem seems that you don't check for the start and the end of the string. Change your code to something like
urlnow = '^'+urlnow+'$'; // this is new
var regex = new RegExp(urlnow);
^ is the RegExp code for string-start and $ the code for string-end. That way you ensure that the whole url has to match the pattern and not only a part of it.

I figured out that I did the url was not the current url, I changed that below.
I also changed that the * are now replaced with a regular expression and the dots have to be there in this situation.
function redlist_checkURLS(index)
{
if(index >= 0)
{
var pos = getPos("URL-Mask");
var url = currenturl.replace("http://", "");
if(url != null && url != "")
{
var urlnow = "";
if(pref.prefHasUserValue("table.1"))
{
var urlsok = 0;
var checkedLocationsArray = new Array();
for(i = 0; i < tables.length; i++)
{
checkedLocationsArray[i] = tables[i][pos];
}
for(i=0;i<checkedLocationsArray.length;i++)
{
urlnow = checkedLocationsArray[i];
if(urlnow == url)
{
return true;
}
if(urlnow.indexOf('*') != -1)
{
while(urlnow.indexOf("*") != -1)
urlnow = urlnow.replace("*", "\\S+")
}
var regex = new RegExp(urlnow);
var Erg = regex.exec(url);
if(Erg != null && Erg == url)
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
}
Thanks for your help thought!
