Javascript help.

I have been trying to make my active desktop randomly display images when I click on a link. This is the header bit:

code:
<script language="JavaScript">



function pickimg(){

var imagenumber = 6 ;

var randomnumber = Math.random() ;

var rand1 = Math.round( (imagenumber-1) * randomnumber) + 1;

images = new Array

images[1] = "desktop\\Pics\\1.jpg"

images[2] = "desktop\\Pics\\2.jpg"

images[3] = "desktop\\Pics\\3.jpg"

images[4] = "desktop\\Pics\\4.jpg"

images[5] = "desktop\\Pics\\5.jpg"

images[6] = "desktop\\Pics\\6.jpg"

var image = images[rand1]

document.randimg.src = image

}

</script>

Then in the <body> tag is this:

<body background="maras.jpg" onLoad="pickimg();">

And the link contains this:

<a onClick="MM_showHideLayers('box','','show');">Click</a>

The link is in a layer of its own, and on clicking, it is supposed to open a new layer:

<div id="box" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:1024px; height:768px; z-index:2; visibility:hidden;">
<img src="pickimg(image);"></div>

I'm pretty sure the problem is with the img src bit, but I don't know what it's supposed to be.

Any help please?

code:
<img src="javascript : pickimg(image);">

thanks.

it still doesn't work though...

Lots of error here, and get a grip on syntax, some lines end with ; and some don't. I know it's not required to use ; to terminate a line, but if you do, it's much easier to read a script, espeseially if a line is wrapped.

Gimme some minutes and I'll have a script you might be able to use

PulseDriver · 31st October 2004, 18:18

Here

code:


<html>

  <head>



    <title>Random Image</title>



    <script language="JavaScript">



      <!-- Old browser prosedure



        function pickImg(newImg){

          var imgNum = 6;

          var ranNum = Math.random();

          var rand1 = Math.round( (imgNum-1) * ranNum);



          images = new Array();

          images[0] = "1.gif";

          images[1] = "2.gif";

          images[2] = "3.gif";

          images[3] = "4.gif";

          images[4] = "5.gif";

          images[5] = "6.gif";

          newImg = images[rand1];

          document.randimg.src = newImg;

        }



      // -->



    </script>



  </head>



  <body onLoad="pickImg(randimg)">



    <a href="#" onClick="pickImg(randimg)"><img src="click.gif" border="0"></a>



    <img src="0.gif" name="randimg">



  </body>

</html>

I have attached the file with some images in the zipfile below

Hope this is what you were looking for

I turned on active desktop and loaded a web page for my background and it turned off the transparency for my desktop icons, what's up with that?

A thousand thanks. It's Danish. I assumed it would be the same in Norwegian.

Mattress: I don't know. It does happen to me too. I just got rid of them all and put links to what I want as part of the Active Desktop (that's what it's for). However, if I removed ALL of them, the active desktop would disappear. So I've had to keep one. I mada an invisible icon for the shortcut, and an invisible character for the caption. So it's gone. Still a drag though.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

Fint nok!

I didn't want to start a new thread on something so small, but this is annoying me. What is the little dotted box called around thinks you have selected? Like this:

Also, is there some kind of css that will disable it when you click on links/images on a webpage?

Mattress · 3rd November 2004, 14:43

it's the active link, there are four states of links in CSS

a
a:hover
a:active
a:visited

active links are links that have been clicked on, usually you don't see them too much because clicking on a link usually sends you to a new page and the clicked on link goes away. but you can see them if the link just invokes some javascript or a frame or something.

Anyway, the little dotted box is not something that is specified in CSS so I don't believe you can get rid of it like that. Though it is part of IE, (Opera doesn't give you the box, firefox does, IE does) so microsoft might have some proprietary css that can turn it off, but I doubt it.

PulseDriver · 3rd November 2004, 17:27

As far as I know, there is nothing that can disable the border around the active object, at least not for IE.

For html specs. it's <body alink="colorname/hex">

Wolfgang · 4th November 2004, 13:38

Actually, I've just noticed that in the IE I'm using at college the box isn't there, but on my IE at home it is. And I have IE 6. Maybe it's an SP2 thing. It's the only thing I haven't got from Windows Update.

Reviving this thread becuase there's no point starting another, as it's more or less the same topic.

I'm using a script to make layers draggable in an HTML page. It is triggered by a click on a link which makes it possible to drag one of the layers across the screen. I want to click on a link (or the same one as the original one) to stop the layer-dragging, i.e. stop the script from functioning, until the link is clicked again. I've googled for it but have found no answer. How do I stop the script from "running"? Any help much appreciated.

This is the script:

code:
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01

  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];

  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);

I know a solution... you can have some scripts that is made by Danny Goodman which came with my JS 4 bible, and they are much easier to understand than program made code. I don't know where you got that code, but my guess would be MacroMedia as of the MM_find_obj().

I'll post them when I get home.

Wolfgang · 10th December 2004, 16:26

Yes, they are bundled with Macromedia Dreamweaver. There are other around on the internet.

Thanks a lot.

PulseDriver · 14th December 2004, 08:19

Forgot I lend away my bible to my brother.. :S I'll try to locate the script at the internet.

Wolfgang · 14th December 2004, 10:17

Thanks.

PulseDriver · 14th December 2004, 14:30

I found the example by Danny Goodman which I had in mind.

The url for the example itself is:
http://www.dannyg.com/examples/puzzle/mapgame.htm

And it also uses an API file (also written by DG) located:
http://www.dannyg.com/examples/puzzle/DHTMLapi.js

You prolly have to rewrite alot of HTML, but at least if you manage to use this, you'll know what really happens

Wolfgang · 14th December 2004, 14:41

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home. AFAIK, the macromedia script does that too, including the snapping to positions with a certain tolerance.

PulseDriver · 14th December 2004, 14:45

Yep, and the DHTML API file contains more than just one fuction, as far as I remember, it can do different stuff, so if you learn the functions within it, you can do alot of fancy DTHML with it

AND much easier to modify

This is the header bit: code: <script language="JavaScript"> function pickimg(){ var imagenumber = 6 ; var randomnumber = Math.random() ; var rand1 = Math.round( (imagenumber-1) * randomnumber) + 1; images = new Array images[1] = "desktop\\Pics\\1.jpg" images[2] = "desktop\\Pics\\2.jpg" images[3] = "desktop\\Pics\\3.jpg" images[4] = "desktop\\Pics\\4.jpg" images[5] = "desktop\\Pics\\5.jpg" images[6] = "desktop\\Pics\\6.jpg" var image = images[rand1] document.randimg.src = image } </script> Then in the <body> tag is this: <body background="maras.jpg" onLoad="pickimg();"> And the link contains this: <a onClick="MM_showHideLayers('box','','show');">Click</a> The link is in a layer of its own, and on clicking, it is supposed to open a new layer: <div id="box" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:1024px; height:768px; z-index:2; visibility:hidden;"> <img src="pickimg(image);"></div> I'm pretty sure the problem is with the img src bit, but I don't know what it's supposed to be. Any help please?

I know it's not required to use ; to terminate a line, but if you do, it's much easier to read a script, espeseially if a line is wrapped. Gimme some minutes and I'll have a script you might be able to use 09 F9 11 01 9D 74 E8 5B D8 41 56 C3 63 56 81 C0

What is the little dotted box called around thinks you have selected? Like this: Also, is there some kind of css that will disable it when you click on links/images on a webpage?

3rd November 2004, 14:43	#14
Mattress Forum King Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 4,577	it's the active link, there are four states of links in CSS a a:hover a:active a:visited active links are links that have been clicked on, usually you don't see them too much because clicking on a link usually sends you to a new page and the clicked on link goes away. but you can see them if the link just invokes some javascript or a frame or something. Anyway, the little dotted box is not something that is specified in CSS so I don't believe you can get rid of it like that. Though it is part of IE, (Opera doesn't give you the box, firefox does, IE does) so microsoft might have some proprietary css that can turn it off, but I doubt it.

PulseDriver w3 addict (Major Dude) Join Date: May 2004 Location: Norway Posts: 1,806	As far as I know, there is nothing that can disable the border around the active object, at least not for IE. For html specs. it's <body alink="colorname/hex"> 09 F9 11 01 9D 74 E8 5B D8 41 56 C3 63 56 81 C0
