message Alert on an empty search
Hi experts, I wish to put message alert during search, once no item found upon searching. Codes below are working but I do not know where to position an alert messages that would tell the user "No item". Thank you!
JavaScript:
var inp=function(){
var inputElem=document.getElem
var buttElem=document.getEleme
var valueInput=inputElem.value
return valueInput;
};
var table=function(){
var tableElem=document.getElem
return tableElem;
};
function mySearch2(inpuArg, tableArg)
{
var filter = inpuArg.toUpperCase();
for(var i = 0; i < tableArg.rows.length; i++) {
var tr = tableArg.rows[i];
var cell = tr.cells[1];
if (cell.textContent.substr(0
tr.style.display = 'table-row';
}
else {
tr.style.display = 'none';
alert("no item");
}
}
}

alert("no item");

}
}

I create an another option to show you an alert message. I create a new element (i named alertMessage) and then when you haven't return items a message appears in the button for 1500ms and dissapearing via setTimeout function.
Additionally from the above code add the following:
Additionally from the above code add the following:
var alertMessage=document.createElement('div');
alertMessage.setAttribute('id', 'alert');
alertMessage.style.border='solid 2px red';
alertMessage.style.backgroundColor='orange';
alertMessage.innerHTML='No items Found';
var inp=function(){
var inputElem=document.getElementById("myInput");
var buttElem=document.getElementById('myButton');
var valueInput=inputElem.value;
return valueInput;
};
var table=function(){
var tableElem=document.getElementById('myTable');
return tableElem;
};
function mySearch2(inpuArg, tableArg)
{
var filter = inpuArg.toUpperCase();
for(var i = 0; i < tableArg.rows.length; i++) {
var tr = tableArg.rows[i];
var cell = tr.cells[1];
if (cell.textContent.substr(0,filter.length).toUpperCase() == filter) {
tr.style.display = 'table-row';
}
else {
tr.style.display = 'none';
tableArg.appendChild(alertMessage);
setTimeout(function(){
tableArg.removeChild(alertMessage);
}, 1500);
}
}
}
Except you are appending a div to a table. Rather append a <Tr> keep the markup valid
Personally I would have the message after the table
Personally I would have the message after the table
<table ...>
</table>
<div class="alert" id="alert-msg">No rows found</div>
function mySearch2(inpuArg, tableArg)
{
var filter = inpuArg.toUpperCase();
var alert = document.getElementById('alert-msg');
var found = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < tableArg.rows.length; i++) {
var tr = tableArg.rows[i];
var cell = tr.cells[1];
if (cell.textContent.substr(0,filter.length).toUpperCase() == filter) {
tr.style.display = 'table-row';
found++;
}
else {
tr.style.display = 'none';
}
found ? alert.style.display = 'inherit' : alert.style.display = 'none';
}
}
Here is an updated version of the code
<script>
var tbl = document.getElementById('myTable');
var norows = document.getElementById('no-rows-alert');
document.getElementById('myInput').addEventListener('keyup', function() {
var matchedRow = 0;
for(var r = 0; r < tbl.rows.length; r++) {
var row = tbl.rows[r];
var matchedCell = 0;
for (var c=0; c < row.cells.length; c++) {
var cell = row.cells[c];
var srch = this.value.toUpperCase();
var cellVal = cell.textContent.substr(0, this.value.length).toUpperCase();
if (srch == cellVal) {
matchedCell++;
break;
}
}
matchedRow += matchedCell;
row.style.display = matchedCell ? 'inherit' : 'none'
}
norows.style.display = matchedRow ? 'none' : 'inherit';
});
</script>
Hi Julian. Leonidas solution answered my problem, but I thank you for adding solution which I impress too. However, on your solution I wish to use button before the search will start. Instead of using KeyUp function as shown on (myInput). I actually tried it but can't achieve since of limited knowledge about this language. Thank you!
I am confused - the code provided by Leonidas is based on your original code and appears to have a bug (From the original code)
This logic is wrong (in my view)
The reason being that for rows that don't have the matching text the message is going to be displayed. In other words
Row 1 has matching text - first part if if fires and row is retained
Row 2 does not have matching text - second part of if fires and alert is shown - even though Row 1 was found.
There needs to be some flag to say a valid row has been found to prevent the display of the message when a row has been found.
Here is the revised code for doing it with a button.
Note this code is different from my previous post as it takes into account your code specification that only 1 cell needs to be checked - not the entire row. In your code you check cell 1 - in my sample it is cell 0.

Hi Julian, I really appreciated the way you anticipate the problem and I really love your solution as well. As I tried running your codes its work very fine. However, on the other side of my project I've got a problem. A cloneNode table your codes won't work anymore. Here's what my project goes. I have two tables, named, myTable and myTable2. I copy a data from Mytable2 to myTable using cloneNode then do certain search using your codes. In here the codes you provided will no longer work. Its very hard for me to trace the cause. I attached here the codes to make you understand. Thank you!

Change your JavaScript to the following. The problem was that tbl was being declared outside of the eventhandler so was binding to the empty table
<script>
var norows = document.getElementById('no-rows-alert');
document.getElementById('myButton').addEventListener('click', function() {
var tbl = document.getElementById('myTable');
var matchedRow = false;
var srch = $('#myInput').val().toUpperCase();
for(var r = 0; r < tbl.rows.length; r++) {
var row = tbl.rows[r];
var cell = row.cells[0];
var cellVal = cell.textContent.substr(0, srch.length).toUpperCase();
if (srch == cellVal) {
matchedRow = true;
row.style.display = 'table-row';
}
else {
row.style.display = 'none';
}
}
norows.style.display = matchedRow ? 'none' : 'inherit';
if (!matchedRow) {
setTimeout(function() {
norows.style.display = 'none'
}, 1500)
}
});
</script>
<Script>
function copyAlldata(){
var source = document.getElementById('myTable2');
var destination = document.getElementById('myTable');
var copy = source.cloneNode(true);
copy.setAttribute('id', 'myTable');
destination.parentNode.replaceChild(copy, destination);
};
</script>
