The thing that I can't resolve is why I can't get it to work as a single function by joining together the 2 functions I have created.
Here is my code, after the array drirejs has been created by PHP and converted to a JS array:
- Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
var rand = new Array();
var john = new Array();
function test_example(){
for (j = 0; j <= drirejs.length; j++) {
drire_element=drirejs[j];
arrayofparts=drire_element.split("¤");
title=arrayofparts[1];
john [j]= title;
}
}
function testindex(drire_search){
var srchstr=drire_search;
if (!Array.prototype.indexOf)
{
Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt /*, from*/)
{
var len = this.length >>> 0;
var from = Number(arguments[1]) || 0;
from = (from < 0)
? Math.ceil(from)
: Math.floor(from);
if (from < 0)
from += len;
for (; from < len; from++)
{
if (from in this &&
this[from] === elt)
return from;
}
return -1;
};
}
drire_index=john.indexOf(srchstr);
alert(drirejs[drire_index]);
}
</script>
<table>
<tr>
<td width="12%" height="123"><script>test_example();</script></td>
<td width="12%" height="123"><script>testindex("LORRAINE - Vosges(88)");</script></td>
</tr>
</table>
When the 2 functions are called separately, and consecutively, I get the right result in the alert() from the testindex function.
When I join the 2 functions I don't even get the alert.
In desperation I have tried to call the 2 functions from another, eg. function xyz(){test_example();testindex(str);}, but this doesn't work either.
I need this to be a single function because I want to call it from a SELECT field on a form.
This might be something simple and stupid that I've overlooked but I have tried and tried and can't find the solution.
Hoping one of you JS experts can help me on this
