Hi there, :eek:

I am trying to implement my script into Wordpress but for some reasons it just doesn't simply work. And whenever I try to test it online, it doesn't work either... Only when I'm offline does it work.

Here is the script :

<script type="text/javascript">

function copyit(theField) {

var tempval=eval("document."+theField)

tempval.focus()

tempval.select()

therange=tempval.createTextRange()

therange.execCommand("Copy")

}

function results()

{
    var behavior="form";

    var text=document.csrAlpha.csrresult2.value;
var uccvt=text.toLowerCase();
    var Words=new Array;

    Words["a"]="Alpha";

    Words["b"]
="Bravo";
    Words["c"]="Charlie";

    Words["d"]="Delta";

    Words["e"]="Echo";

    Words
["f"]="Foxtrot";
    Words["g"]="Golf";

    Words["h"]="Hotel";

    Words["i"]="India";
Words["j"]="Juliet";
    Words["k"]="Kilo";

    Words["l"]="Lima";

    Words["m"]="Mike";
Words["n"]="November";
    Words["o"]="Oscar";

    Words["p"]="Papa";

    Words["q"]="Quebec";
Words["r"]="Romeo";
    Words["s"]="Sierra";

    Words["t"]="Tango";

    Words["u"]="Uniform";



Words["v"]="Victor";

    Words["w"]="Whiskey";

    Words["x"]="X-Ray";

    Words["y"]="Yankee";



   Words["z"]="Zulu";

    Words["0"]="Zero";

    Words["1"]="One";

    Words["2"]="Two";
Words["3"]="Three";
    Words["4"]="Four";

    Words["5"]="Five";

    Words["6"]="Six";
Words["7"]="Seven";
    Words["8"]="Eight";

    Words["9"]="Niner";

    Words["-"]="Dash";
Words["."]="Dot";
    Words[" "]="[space]";

    var trans="";

    var regExp=/[\!@#$%^&*(),=";:
\/]/;
    var stringCheck=regExp.exec(uccvt);



    if(!stringCheck)

    {

            if
(uccvt.length > 0)
            {

                    for(var i=0;i < uccvt.length;i++)



   {

                            var thisChar=uccvt.charAt(i);

                            trans 
+= Words[thisChar] + " ";
                    }

            }

            else

            {



               trans +="Please write something.";

            }

    }

    else

    {



   trans +="You entered invalid characters. Remove them and try again.";

    }
document.csrAlpha.csrresult.value=trans;

}

//-->

</script>

<form name="csrAlpha">

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

<input type="text" name="csrresult2" size="70" maxlength="120">

<input type="button" value="Translate" onclick="results();">

<input type="Reset" value="Clear Values">

<textarea name="csrresult" cols="20" rows="10" value="">
</textarea>

Any ideas of what's going on?

Thanks!

What kind of errors are you getting when using on-line?

JunkMale

Bad use of Eval.

You SHOULD NOT be using eval() like this.

var tempval=eval("document."+theField)

the porperty you pass to the function I take is a string name?

var tempval= document[theField];

is the properway to access a property of the document object by way of its associated array reference.

There is a practical thing in PsPad editor : Remove blank lines... Then your code is (not clean) and wrong !
Except an errreur of quotes in the function result, Words cannot be an array (make an alert with your Words : it contains only Zero,One...Niner) but has to be an object.
It could be define like this

	var Words={};
	s="Alpha,Bravo,Charlie,Delta,Echo,Foxtrot,Golf,Hotel,India,Juliet,Kilo,Lima,Mike,November,Oscar,Papa,Quebec,Romeo,Sierra,Tango,Uniform,Victor,Whiskey,X-Ray,Yankee,Zulu,Zero".split(/,/g);
	for (var l=s.length,i=0;i<l;i++) Words[String.fromCharCode(i+97)]=s[i];
	var t="One,Two,Three,Four,Five,Six,Seven,Eight,Niner".split(/,/g);
	for (i=0;i<10;i++) Words[i]=t[i];
	Words["-"]="Dash";
	Words["."]="Dot";
	Words[" "]="[space]";
var c='';	
for (i in Words) c+=i+' => '+Words[i]+'\n';
alert(c);

Then, it's perhaps faster to avoid all the character which are not letters, digits or dots, spaces and dashs (at the end it is not to be preceded with an ) with this regexp
var rgx=/[^{a-z0-9. -]/;

Good luck !}

Hi Strozzap.

I am trying to do something very similar. Were you able to make this work?

Please let me know how.

Thanks a bunch!

007Julien

A complement and an errata (the Zero is not the last alphanumerical character but the first numerical).

<script type="text/javascript">
var Words={};
s="Alpha,Bravo,Charlie,Delta,Echo,Foxtrot,Golf,Hotel,India,Juliet,Kilo,Lima,Mike,November,Oscar,Papa,Quebec,Romeo,Sierra,Tango,Uniform,Victor,Whiskey,X-Ray,Yankee,Zulu".split(/,/g);
	for (var l=s.length,i=0;i<l;i++) Words[String.fromCharCode(i+97)]=s[i];
	var t="[COLOR="Red"]Zero[/COLOR],One,Two,Three,Four,Five,Six,Seven,Eight,Niner".split(/,/g);
	for (i=0;i<10;i++) Words[i]=t[i];
	Words["-"]="Dash";
	Words["."]="Dot";
	Words[" "]="[space]";
var c='';	
for (i in Words) c+=i+' => '+Words[i]+'\n';
// alert(c); just a test to see what you do
[COLOR="Blue"]
// A new method for Strings[/COLOR]   

String.prototype.toICAOPhonetic=function(){var i,l=this.length,r='';
	that=this.toLowerCase();	
	for (i=0;i<l;i++) r+=' '+Words[that[i]];
	return r;
}
[COLOR="Blue"]// An example with KJFK[/COLOR]
alert("JKFK".toICAOPhonetic());
</script>

KJFK (or Kilo Juliet Foxtrot Kilo) is the METAR code for New York John Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport. It gives the weather which it makes in newYork with this [URL="ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/KJFK.TXT"]simple link[/URL].

Hey Julien

Thank you for your reply. I took you code and added Strozzap`s form text boxes:

when I open this in a browser I get: undefined undefined undefined undefined

here is a great example of what I am trying to achieve:

This is another approach.

You have now to find mp3 to pronounce this message (for example with dewplayer...).

NB : I make minor changes to remove all the non alphanumeric (a-z 0-9 dash, point or blank ) signs (this characters could be replace with something like ?) and to define the length after this action.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Exactly what I needed. I do have one final question that I hope you can help me with. I tried to remove the revers portion at the end of the page since I don`t want this to take up to much space and it wouldn't serve any purpose for what it is intended for. When I remove the text area from the body nothing works anymore. I have tried removing some of the associated code from the script as well but to no avail. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Either way thanks again for all of your help and for sharing your knowledge.

Marty.

OK I figured it out but now when I past the code into another page it doesnt work anymore. Here is the code.
