Javascript ReGEX for JSON - json

This is all so confusing, I've seen so many examples of how to do different things and cannot seem to find a valid example for what I am trying to do.
I'm using the YQL for the stock quotes only to get just the major indexes, DOW S&P 500 and NASDAQ.
The project is getting the data and working, but I need to determine if the stock value is returning + or - (up or down).
if the market is up or flat, I want to add a CSS class to set it to green, if it is down, I want to set a CSS to red.
One other issue, this only seems to work when I place the function between the head and body, not in the head, not in the body.
<script type="text/javascript">
function stock_quotes(obj)
{
var items = obj.query.results.quote;
var output = '';
var num_quotes = items.length;
items[0].symbol = "DOW ";
items[1].symbol = "NASDAQ ";
items[2].symbol = "S&P 500 ";
//var posquote = {"\d\.?\d{0,9}\.\d{0,9}\s\+"};
//var negquote = {"\d\.?\d{0,9}\.\d{0,9}\s\-"};
for (var i = 0; i < num_quotes; i++) {
var link = items[i].url;
var symbl = items[i].symbol;
var Change_PercentChange = items[i].Change_PercentChange;
var LastTradePriceOnly = items[i].LastTradePriceOnly;
output += "<table><tr><td>" + "<a href='" + link + "'>" + symbl + "</a>" + LastTradePriceOnly + " " + Change_PercentChange + "</td></tr></table>";
}
// Place news stories in div tag
document.getElementById('results').innerHTML = output;
}
This is the HTML with the query
<div id='results'></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src='http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20(%22DOW%22%2C%22%5EIXIC%22%2C%22%5EGSPC%22)%0A%09%09&format=json&diagnostics=true&env=http%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltables.env&callback=stock_quotes'></script>
Ideally I'd like to predefine the html elements which would make it easier to set the css class but one headache at a time.

In the end, this seemed to work just fine
var match_nas_neg = nas_result.match(/\-/);

Using jQuery to find <em> tags and adding content within them

The users on my review type of platform highlight titles (of movies, books etc) in <em class="title"> tags. So for example, it could be:
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
Using jQuery, I want to grab the content within this em class and add it inside a hyperlink. To clarify, with jQuery, I want to get this result:
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
How can I do this?
Try this:
var ems = document.querySelectorAll("em.title");
for (var i = 0; i < ems.length; ++i) {
if (ems[i].querySelector("a") === null) {
var em = ems[i],
text = jQuery(em).text();
var before = text[0] == " ";
var after = text[text.length-1] == " ";
text = text.trim();
while (em.nextSibling && em.nextSibling.className && em.nextSibling.className.indexOf("title") != -1) {
var tmp = em;
em = em.nextSibling;
tmp.parentNode.removeChild(tmp);
text += jQuery(em).text().trim();
++i;
}
var link = text.replace(/[^a-z \-\d']+/gi, "").replace(/\s+/g, "+");
var innerHTML = "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://domain.com/?=" + link + "\">" + text + "</a>";
innerHTML = before ? " " + innerHTML: innerHTML;
innerHTML = after ? innerHTML + " " : innerHTML;
ems[i].innerHTML = innerHTML;
}
}
Here's a fiddle
Update: http://jsfiddle.net/1t5efadk/14/
Final: http://jsfiddle.net/186hwg04/8/
$("em.title").each(function() {
var content = $(this).text();
var parameter_string = content.replace(/ /g, "+").trim();
parameter_string = encodeURIComponent(parameter_string);
var new_content = '' + content + '';
$(this).html(new_content);
});
If you want to remove any kind of punctuation, refer to this other question.
$('em.title').html(function(i,html) {
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?='+html.trim().replace(/\s/g,'+'),text:html});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
UPDATE 1
The following updated version will perform the following:
Grab the contents of the em element
Combine with the contents of the next element, if em and remove that element
Create a query string parameter from this with the following properties
Remove the characters ,.&
Remove html
Append the query parameter to a predetermined URL and wrap the unmodified contents in an e element with the new URL.
DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').html(function() {
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+encodeURIComponent(text),html:$(this).html()});
});
Or DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').html(function() {
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'').replace(/\s/g,'+');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+text,html:$(this).html()});
});
UPDATE 2
Per the comments, the above versions have two issues:
Merge two elements that may be separated by a text node.
Process an em element that's wrapped in an a element.
The following version resolves those two issues:
DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').filter(function() {
return !$(this).parent().is('a');
}).html(function() {
var nextNode = this.nextSibling;
nextNode && nextNode.nodeType != 3 &&
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'').replace(/\s/g,'+');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+text,html:$(this).html()});
});
Actually,if you just want to add a click event on em.title,I suggest you use like this:
$("em.title").click(function(){
q = $(this).text()
window.location.href = "http://www.domain.com/?="+q.replace(/ /g,"+")
}
you will use less html code on browser and this seems simply.
In addition you may need to add some css on em.title,like:
em.title{
cursor:pointer;
}
Something like this?
$(document).ready(function(){
var link = $('em').text(); //or $('em.title') if you want
var link2 = link.replace(/\s/g,"+");
$('em').html('' + link + '');
});
Ofcourse you can replace the document ready with any type of handler
$('.title').each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
text = $this.text(),
textEnc = encodeURIComponent(text);
$this.empty().html('' + text + '');
});

How to match with RegExp outside of HTML Tags [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Closed 10 years ago.
Possible Duplicate:
RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags
How can I match some alphanumerical words that are outside of an HTML Tag instead of match every words
Example:
<div id="mariano mariano mariano" nota="mariano/mariano">mariano was looking forward Mariano. I want to match this "Mariano" too. Mariano</div>
In this example I want to match all "Mariano" outside of the tag id.
I think the key of this issue is looking forward for a "<" before a ">" and match that word, but if the regex find ">" before a "<" this means that the word is in the tag,
But I couldn't manage to achieve/produce a Regex for this.
I fail trying to concat this Regex (?<=^|>)[^><]+?(?=<|$) with another one.
And my final lowest quality solution was:
<!-- language: lang-js -->
var searchFor = new RegExp("((!?<=^|>)" + termino + ")","ig");
var searchFor2 = new RegExp("(" + termino + "(?=<|$))","ig");
var searchFor3 = new RegExp("(!?<=^|[\\s\\.;,])" + termino + "(?=[\\s\\.;,]|$)","ig");
but those 3 don't cover all the alternatives.
Edit: Im working with javascript:
<script>
container.find("p, span, div, .texto,").each(function() {
var containerText = $(this).html();
for (var i = 0; i < terms.length; i++) {
var termino = terms[i];
// 1st issue ">termino" was remplaced for: ">Pedro"
var searchFor = new RegExp("((!?<=^|>)" + termino + ")","ig");
containerText = containerText.replace(searchFor,">Pedroedro");
// 2nd issue "termino<" was remplaced for: "Pedro"
var searchFor2 = new RegExp("(" + termino + "(?=<|$))","ig");
containerText = containerText.replace(searchFor2,"Pedro");
// 3rd issue "[\.\s,;:]termino[\.\s,;:]
var searchFor3 = new RegExp("(!?<=^|[\\s\\.;,])" + termino + "(?=[\\s \\.;,]|$)","ig");
containerText = containerText.replace(searchFor3," Pedro");
};
$(this).html(containerText);
});
</script>
A few things -
Welcome to stackoverflow!
Please, search for questions before asking. There are numerous results for parsing
xml with regex.
Don't use regex expressions for parsing xml/html! Try xpath!
var termino = // how ever you were defining before...
// Give me all divs, where the text content contains value of "termino"
var iterator = document.evaluate('//div/text()[contains(.,' + termino + ')]', documentNode, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null );
try {
// init thisNode to the first item in the iterator
var thisNode = iterator.iterateNext();
// go through all items, alert their content (which should contain termino)
while (thisNode) {
alert( thisNode.textContent );
thisNode = iterator.iterateNext();
}
}

HTML5 SQLite Db questions

I've got a couple of questions regarding the Sqlite implementations for HTML5 website.
First of all, I'm trying to use the Synchronous Database calling openDatabaseSync method, but it doesn't seem to work... Someone used it already and could help me ?
Also, I'm struggling a bit trying to process the result return by my database query. I'd like my function to return an array of book, like this :
function searchByKeywordId(kw_id, element) {
cleanSearch();
element.innerHTML = "No result...";
var books = new Array();
db.transaction(function (tx) {
tx.executeSql("SELECT b.BK_TITLE,b.BK_URL, b.BK_THUMBNAIL_URL FROM KEYWORDS k INNER JOIN CATALOG_ITEMS c on k.KW_ID = c.KW_ID INNER JOIN BOOKS b on c.BK_ID = b.BK_ID WHERE k.KW_ID = ? GROUP BY b.BK_TITLE,b.BK_URL",[kw_id], function (tx, results) {
if (results.rows.length > 0) {
var html = "";
for (var i = 0; i < results.rows.length; i++) {
var bookId = results.rows.item(i).BK_ID;
var bookUrl = results.rows.item(i).BK_URL;
var bookTitle = results.rows.item(i).BK_TITLE;
var bookThumbnailUrl = results.rows.item(i).BK_THUMBNAIL_URL;
var book = new Book(bookId,bookTitle,bookUrl,bookThumbnailUrl);
books.push(book);
/*html += "<div class='x_container' id='calibre:book:" + bookId + "'>";
html += "<div class='cover'>";
html += "</div></div>";*/
html += "<a href='" + bookUrl + "' title=\"" + bookTitle + "\" target='_new'><img src='" + bookThumbnailUrl + "'></a> ";
}
//html += "</div>";
element.innerHTML = html;
}
});
});
return books; }
obviously, adding books within the callback methods doesn't work ... Do you see a way I could achieve that ? So that I would not have to write in the document from my database methods ...
Thanks !
On stackoverflow a question with javascript and "doesn't work" in it is usually a missing paren :) However I didn't find one in your code. I see some suspicious looking syntax around
,[kw_id], << did we really mean an array here, or are we de-referencing something...
In any case if that's not a mistake I would start by simplifying things, and not multipurposing your functions.
function searchByKeywordId(kw_id, element) {
cleanSearch();
var books = new Array();
db.transaction(function (tx) {
tx.executeSql("SELECT b.BK_TITLE,b.BK_URL, b.BK_THUMBNAIL_URL FROM KEYWORDS k INNER JOIN CATALOG_ITEMS c on k.KW_ID = c.KW_ID INNER JOIN BOOKS b on c.BK_ID = b.BK_ID WHERE k.KW_ID = ? GROUP BY b.BK_TITLE,b.BK_URL",[kw_id], function (tx, results) {
if (results.rows.length > 0) {
var html = "";
for (var i = 0; i < results.rows.length; i++) {
var bookId = results.rows.item(i).BK_ID;
var bookUrl = results.rows.item(i).BK_URL;
var bookTitle = results.rows.item(i).BK_TITLE;
var bookThumbnailUrl = results.rows.item(i).BK_THUMBNAIL_URL;
var book = new Book(bookId,bookTitle,bookUrl,bookThumbnailUrl);
books.push(book);
} // end for loop
} // end if block
} // end execute callback
); // end executeSql call
} // end transaction function argument
); // end db.transaction call
return books;
}
Then somewhere that you called this function do something like this:
var html="";
for (i=0; i<books.length; i++) {
html += "<a href='" + books[i].url + "' title=\"" + books[i].title + "\" target='_new'><img src='" + books[i].thumbnailUrl + "'></a> ";
}
if (html == "") {
html = "No result...";
}
element.innerHTML = html; // consider using jQuery here for browser compatability reasons
This will simplify debugging your code in firebug or whatever and be more readable. Later IF you need the performance, you can try to recombine and use the existing loop as an optimization... Premature optimization is usually a bad idea. Write clear code that works. Even if you know you should optimize it, get it working and then optimize it after it works (preferably after you've demonstrated that you do in fact need to optimize it).

How to serialize HTML DOM to XML in IE 8?

Is there a way to do it(serialization of HTML DOM into XML) in IE 8 or any other older version of IE.
In firefox :
var xmlString = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString( doc );
does it.I haven't tried it, though.
XMLSerializer causes error in IE 8, that it is not defined.
var objSerializeDOM = {
//Variable to hold generated XML.
msg : "",
serializeDOM : function() {
dv = document.createElement('div'); // create dynamically div tag
dv.setAttribute('id', "lyr1"); // give id to it
dv.className = "top"; // set the style classname
// set the inner styling of the div tag
dv.style.position = "absolute";
// set the html content inside the div tag
dv.innerHTML = "<input type='button' value='Serialize' onClick='objSerializeDOM.createXML()'/>"
"<br>";
// finally add the div id to ur form
document.body.insertBefore(dv, document.body.firstChild);
},
/**
* XML creation takes place here.
*/
createXML : function() {
objSerializeDOM.msg += "";
objSerializeDOM.msg += "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>\n\n";
// Get all the forms in a document.
var forms = document.forms;
for ( var i = 0; i < forms.length; i++) {
// Get all the elements on per form basis.
elements = document.forms[i].elements;
objSerializeDOM.msg += "<FORM name=\"" + forms[i].name + "\" method=\""
+ forms[i].method + "\" action=\"" + forms[i].action + "\">\n\n";
for ( var j = 0; j < elements.length; j++) {
objSerializeDOM.msg += " <" + elements[j].tagName + " type=\""
+ elements[j].type + "\"" + " name=\""
+ elements[j].name + "\"" + " Value =\""
+ elements[j].value + "\" />\n";
}
alert(document.forms[i].elements[1].event);
}
objSerializeDOM.msg += "\n\n</FORM>\n\n";
alert(objSerializeDOM.msg);
objSerializeDOM.writeToFile(objSerializeDOM.msg);
},
/**
* Writes the msg to file at pre-specified location.
* #param msg
* the XML file created.
*/
writeToFile : function(msg) {
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\myXML.xml", true);
fh.WriteLine(msg);
fh.Close();
}
};
objSerializeDOM.serializeDOM();
I wrote this JS, I run this javascript using GreaseMonkey4IE. This simply puts a button on every page of the domain you specify in GM4IE. On click of that button it will parse the HTML document and create an XML file. It will also display the same as an alert first and will save the XML in your local drive on path specified.
There a still many improvements I am planning to do, but yes it works and may be give you guys an idea.The program is self-explanatory, I hope.
please have a look here How to get Events associated with DOM elements?Thanks

Insert a Link Using CSS

I'm hand-maintaining an HTML document, and I'm looking for a way to automatically insert a link around text in a table. Let me illustrate:
<table><tr><td class="case">123456</td></tr></table>
I would like to automatically make every text in a TD with class "case" a link to that case in our bug tracking system (which, incidentally, is FogBugz).
So I'd like that "123456" to be changed to a link of this form:
123456
Is that possible? I've played with the :before and :after pseudo-elements, but there doesn't seem to be a way to repeat the case number.
Not in a manner that will work across browsers. You could, however, do that with some relatively trivial Javascript..
function makeCasesClickable(){
var cells = document.getElementsByTagName('td')
for (var i = 0, cell; cell = cells[i]; i++){
if (cell.className != 'case') continue
var caseId = cell.innerHTML
cell.innerHTML = ''
var link = document.createElement('a')
link.href = 'http://bugs.example.com/fogbugz/default.php?' + caseId
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode(caseId))
cell.appendChild(link)
}
}
You can apply it with something like onload = makeCasesClickable, or simply include it right at the end of the page.
here is a jQuery solution specific to your HTML posted:
$('.case').each(function() {
var link = $(this).html();
$(this).contents().wrap('');
});
in essence, over each .case element, will grab the contents of the element, and throw them into a link wrapped around it.
Not possible with CSS, plus that's not what CSS is for any way. Client-side Javascript or Server-side (insert language of choice) is the way to go.
I don't think it's possible with CSS. CSS is only supposed to affect the looks and layout of your content.
This seems like a job for a PHP script (or some other language). You didn't give enough information for me to know the best way to do it, but maybe something like this:
function case_link($id) {
return '' . $id . '';
}
Then later in your document:
<table><tr><td class="case"><?php echo case_link('123456'); ?></td></tr></table>
And if you want an .html file, just run the script from the command line and redirect the output to an .html file.
You could have something like this (using Javascript). Inside <head>, have
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function getElementsByClass (className) {
var all = document.all ? document.all :
document.getElementsByTagName('*');
var elements = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < all.length; i++)
if (all[i].className == className)
elements[elements.length] = all[i];
return elements;
}
function makeLinks(className, url) {
nodes = getElementsByClass(className);
for(var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
node = nodes[i];
text = node.innerHTML
node.innerHTML = '' + text + '';
}
}
</script>
And then at the end of <body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
makeLinks("case", "http://bugs.example.com/fogbugz/default.php?");
</script>
I've tested it, and it works fine.
I know this is an old question, but I stumbled upon this post looking for a solution for creating hyperlinks using CSS and ended up making my own, could be of interest for someone stumbling across this question like I did:
Here's a php function called 'linker();'that enables a fake CSS attribute
connect: 'url.com';
for an #id defined item.
just let the php call this on every item of HTML you deem link worthy.
the inputs are the .css file as a string, using:
$style_cont = file_get_contents($style_path);
and the #id of the corresponding item. Heres the whole thing:
function linker($style_cont, $id_html){
if (strpos($style_cont,'connect:') !== false) {
$url;
$id_final;
$id_outer = '#'.$id_html;
$id_loc = strpos($style_cont,$id_outer);
$connect_loc = strpos($style_cont,'connect:', $id_loc);
$next_single_quote = stripos($style_cont,"'", $connect_loc);
$next_double_quote = stripos($style_cont,'"', $connect_loc);
if($connect_loc < $next_single_quote)
{
$link_start = $next_single_quote +1;
$last_single_quote = stripos($style_cont, "'", $link_start);
$link_end = $last_single_quote;
$link_size = $link_end - $link_start;
$url = substr($style_cont, $link_start, $link_size);
}
else
{
$link_start = $next_double_quote +1;
$last_double_quote = stripos($style_cont, '"', $link_start);
$link_end = $last_double_quote;
$link_size = $link_end - $link_start;
$url = substr($style_cont, $link_start, $link_size); //link!
}
$connect_loc_rev = (strlen($style_cont) - $connect_loc) * -1;
$id_start = strrpos($style_cont, '#', $connect_loc_rev);
$id_end = strpos($style_cont,'{', $id_start);
$id_size = $id_end - $id_start;
$id_raw = substr($style_cont, $id_start, $id_size);
$id_clean = rtrim($id_raw); //id!
if (strpos($url,'http://') !== false)
{
$url_clean = $url;
}
else
{
$url_clean = 'http://'.$url;
};
if($id_clean[0] == '#')
{
$id_final = $id_clean;
if($id_outer == $id_final)
{
echo '<a href="';
echo $url_clean;
echo '" target="_blank">';
};
};
};
};
this could probably be improved/shortened using commands like .wrap() or getelementbyID()
because it only generates the <a href='blah'> portion, but seeing as </a> disappears anyway without a opening clause it still works if you just add them everywhere :D
