JavaScript Validation?

[Twey]

Actually, I made Penguin Popcorn Parade and Petentine's Day up.

Ahahaha, I should've guessed

I noticed var holiday = holidays[(month + 1) + "/" + day] || [humanMonth + " " + day, ""];. Yikes!
I'm guessing that means that holiday's value is humanMonth and day's value unless month + 1 and day have the same value of an object in the holidays array. In that case, holiday's value equals the first value in the correct object and then the second value in the CSS class exclamation.

Yes. To break it down:

• Concatenate the month (plus one), a slash, and the date, so it's in the form '3/1'
• Get a value from holidays using that as the key
• If that value doesn't exist, or is false, empty, 0, or null, use the array [humanMonth + " " + day, ""] instead
• Assign the result to holiday.

In Javascript, an or operation returns the first true value it encounters. So:

var a = false, b = 0, c = "Truthy string";
var d = a || b || c; // d is "Truthy string"
var e = a || null || c || b; // e is "Truthy string"
var f = b || true || c; // f is true

By the way, what does イギリス mean and in what language?

[tech_support]

England, in Japanese.

(Why can't you write it in ENGLISH, Twey? )

[Twey]

Because that would be boring

The other way the Japanese have of writing England is 英国, which, purely through phonetics, literally means "hero land." I pity Germans in Japan: they get to be 独逸人, "lonely lazy people" (独逸 is pronounced "doitsu" which is about as close to the German pronunciation of "Deutsch" as the Japanese syllabaries can get).

[techno_race]

I see you changed it to 英国.

<marquee> is a big no-no in web design

var now = "no";

Use a boolean value, or even just check whether leaves is 0.

switch (key) {

Dear gods! You're raping switch!

document.write(leaves);

This will never be reached -- the browser will be directed to either shuttle.html or index.html, but either way it happens before this.

Factor in all of the above, and you can write that hideously huge switch statement in two lines:

var leaves = (function(x) { var v = x % 5; return (v === 0 ? 0 : 5) - v; })((new Date()).getMinutes());

window.location.href = (leaves === 0 ? "shuttle.html" : "index.html");

If you want to write that time rather than redirect to index.html, you can:

var leaves = (function(x) { var v = x % 5; return (v === 0 ? 0 : 5) - v; })((new Date()).getMinutes());

if(leaves === 0)
  window.location.href = "shuttle.html";
else
  document.write("in " + leaves + " minute" + (leaves === 1 ? "" : "s"));

[mburt]

Lol... raping? Not raping, but definitely over-using. In fact, I never use switch. Arrays are much easier to use.

[techno_race]

Huh?

var leaves = (function(x) { var v = x &#37; 5; return (v === 0 ? 0 : 5) - v; })((new Date()).getMinutes());

window.location.href = (leaves === 0 ? "shuttle.html" : "index.html");?

Is there any way to make that update every minute...or does it already? And what was the actual problem with the first one?

[techno_race]

I never learned what an array was, all I learned was if...else and switch.
