Hi everyone,
I am a newbie to javascript learning it for 2 months now, i am trying
to make a sorter who will read english words from the one textbox or
datafile and store them in a 2 dimensional array, so in other words,
howerever the words are set, horizontally the one following th eother
or the one under the other i want it to work, i tried some code but i
am having problems it only work when the text entered is horizontal
like the one word following the other when i try to enter a second
word after pressing ENTER, i dont get any result,
here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Numbers and Words Sorter</title>
</head>
<body>
<td><b>Sorting Machine</b></td><p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sortalpha(x,y)
{
return(x-y)
}
function sortvalues(param)
{
var inputvalues =
document.Form.textInput.value.toUpperCase().split( " ")
if (param==0)
inputvalues.sort()
else
inputvalues.sort(sortalpha)
for (i=0; i < inputvalues.length-1; i++)
document.Form.textOutput.value = document.Form.textOutput.value
+inputvalues[i] + " "
document.Form.textOutput.value += inputvalues[inputvalues.length-1]
}
</script>
<form name="Form">
<textarea rows="10" name="textInput" cols="30" wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<textarea rows="10" name="textOutput" cols="30" wrap="virtual">
</textarea>
<p>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Letters" name="Button"
onClick="sortvalues(0)">
<br>
<input type = "button" value="Sort Numbers" name="Button"
onClick="sortvalues(1)">
<br>
<input type = file name ="file" size =15>
<br>
<input type = "button" value="print" name="Button"
onClick="print(document.Form.textOutput.value)">
<br>
<input type = "reset" value="Reset" name="Button">
</form>
</body>
</html>
================================================== =============
this code works in some cases but in others it doesnt for example in
the case of parenthesis, the parenthesis do not go before the letters
eventhough their ASCII is < , and it generates empty spaces in the
output which i can not explain, i know it is something wrong in my
code but i need your help please pointing out the problem.
I want to make this program work perfect, and i want to add more
things to it, but for the time being this is the obvious problem i am
infront,
Thanks in advance for any help!
