I am a undefined. Objects can also be used as the return values for functions. This is a nice function that I use all of the time:. This will return a reference to the global variable or object digger , which you can then treat in exactly the same way as the original digger :. However, you can skip the intermediary variable and just call sayMyName directly on the returned value of giveMeTheGerbil :. Stripped of the inner code, this is the same programmatic structure as in the first line of our original example:.
The keyword this is used in a function attached to an object a method and refers to the containing object. In JavaScript, there are several ways to create functions. The following is the classic way a function declaration , which should be familiar to anyone who has done some programming:. We created the meepMeep function and assigned it to digger. In fact, functions may be created anonymously called a function expression , without any name at all, and then assigned to a variable:.
In JavaScript, functions may be assigned to variables and passed around just like any other variable. Consider this rather useless function:. It has one argument, called f. So, you could call this:. This would simply run the meepMeep function. You could simply create it when needed and pass it immediately into runMe :. Instead of that, you could put an anonymous function in place of meepMeep , although wrapping it in an extra set of parentheses is required:.
This technique is often used to provide variable scoping in JavaScript. Can you follow what this code will do? The var keyword within the function is important here. It declares a variable within a function. The anonymous function here defines its own local variable, x , assigns it the value 4 and then outputs it.
Therefore, this code will output x is 4 and then x is 3. The console. Anonymous functions are the next piece of the puzzle. The ready method waits until the DOM has fully loaded and then runs the provided function. So, when the document is finally ready , the following anonymous function will run:.
They can be assigned to variables, passed into other functions or run immediately to provide scoping. Before delving further into the sample code, we need to review one more concept that often occurs in JavaScript. Method chaining refers to running several functions in a row.
This is really just an extension of the giveMeTheGerbil example above:. These two functions now do something to digger and then return digger. Not much different, but the addition allows us to chain the functions together:. This line of code will first run giveMeTheGerbil , returning a reference to the digger object.
Now, it essentially becomes equivalent to this:. Next, the speak method of the digger object runs and alerts meep meep. This also returns a reference to digger , and then the code becomes this:. After that, sayMyName runs and again returns a reference to digger , etc. Please sign in or sign up to post.

If a control in a subform has the same ID as a control in the master form, then first obtain the subform's jQuery object using its 32 hexadecimal character unique ID that was automatically generated by ProcessMaker. Then, use jQuery's find method to search for the control's ID inside the subform. Set the value of the "companyName" textbox, which is found inside a subform with the ID "d2fc9f":.
Buttons can be accessed just like normal controls with the find method. To show an alert message when the user clicks the "getDiscount" button. Listed below are listed some of the more useful ones frequently used in the examples on this page. If the jQuery selector returns more than one element, it gets or sets the attribute of the first element.
Attributes are the values of an element that are usually defined in its HTML definition and are usually set before it is rendered on the screen. In contrast, properties are the values of an element that are usually set when it is added to the DOM and rendered on the screen. Unlike attributes, which usually do not change and are fixed in the initial definition, properties often can be changed by the user.
Attributes should be accessed with. In the above example, id , type and value are attributes defined in the HTML code, but align , autofocus , and baseURI are properties set when the element is rendered. For most values, it doesn't matter whether they are accessed with. For example, if the user changes the value of this textbox from "Acme, Inc. This code will return "Acme, Inc. However, calling:.
Disable a dropdown box with the ID "selectContractor" when the user marks the "noContractor" checkbox. Other controls will be moved down or to the right. It does this action by setting style. Return Value: Returns an object that holds information about the control.
