@GregatGit to check the if tie i was using arr.indexOf(undefined)!==-1, but if i start the game with arr[0], the array wont find undefined and will tie the game

@jdtdesigns Is there a way to do a check:
if (http){
redirect to https://codepen.io/...
}
@tuliodnw it looks terrible - what about
if (arr.length > 0) then check
@tuliodnw and why are you calling it arr? Give it a meaningful name usedPositions or something that makes it clear
@GregatGit yeah i normally do that, but because its the only array , i didnt do it, fixing it
@GregatGit
@tuliodnw
arr.indexOf(undefined) ?? your passing undefined as a parameter?
@GregatGit its to check if the button is taken if i click it again
@Nachlawi The problem is codepen loads the code in an iframe, so it's like a seperate page. You can't redirect the actual codepen url because of that. ;/
Still trying to figure out how to make my for loop loop through my array one after the other and not at the same time in my simon game
@clevadani they can't go at the same time - js can only run one thing at time - it might feel at the same time cause it is so quick
@clevadani Were you having a delay?
A little mystery I'm trying to solve. On JS lines 17-22, I'm attempting to console.log() each point in the array after a 1 second delay. Instead, it's just returning undefined. Any thoughts on where I'm going wrong? http://codepen.io/micahbales/pen/MegRqm?editors=0010

how can i fit my picture
@Atalaa try using width=100% (play around with values) for the css of the image
@Atalaa yea same as what larry said. Also what are you trying to do with the picture center it?
i ts my first project i dont have to use css, only with bootstrap, i put an container-fluid class but doesnt fit
@Atalaa you might wanna look up bootstrap documentation...remember when you using col-xs- or whatever you need a row class above that
im not allowing to use css, on the solution Quency dont use css
@max77p yes i put class row now but doens work neither
check that out
@Atalaa remember to go in order, you forgot the header tags as well..get used to creating it as if you were creating from scratch on notepad or something..otherwise when you have to create from scratch in work environment you will forget the easy stuff
hope that helps, play around with it and see what works for you

I don't know how to make the bullet points align, they look messy
Also the quote and some sentences below should be aligned to the left.. don't know how to do it
I used Bootstrap to align the ul. Place it into a div with a class of row, then a second div with the class of "col-md-6 col-md-offset-3". This centered the ul for me. Hope that helps.
The second div is nested inside of the div with the class of row.
You could make a separate div with class of row for the quote, nested inside another div with the class ="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3", then use text-align:left; in your CSS.
If you want a navigation bar on a site to stay where it is on the screen regardless of wherever you are on the page, is that simply accomplished by setting the navigation bar's position to fixed/

@jhadams82 unfortunately, if you are going to use http://openweathermap.org/ you cannot do it over https. I've quickly put a php file on my server and make the call to this file. you are free t use my "api" but you can pass only lat and lon as parameters
@jhadams82 i saw they have a 10 calls per minute limit for the free plan. i would recommend to save the returning json to your app until fully designed and tested and make real calls after
i never gave them any credit card info or anything. surely they just deny the request
@jhadams82 you are limited to 500 calls per day but no more then 10/minute. that's why i would grab the json from my first call and add it to a variable in my js part. then test and test and design and when everything is ready i just start making calls to that api
@jhadams82 also, check the api if its working on https
yeah, i get what you're saying. but i'm using codepen. guess i could work on it offline then copy/paste into codepen when i'm done. but that kinda defeats the purpose of codepen.
10/minute is a call ever 6 seconds. that should be plenty, right?
yeah, it's working now that i'm using https
you've got me all worried now, lol

@Atalaa add this class to your img: full-width then in the css make it width:100%
@Atalaa you probably saw my changes. but you have to do it yourself
@sorinr i didnt use your changes, i kept my code but i refresh and everythings come back to the normal, maybe somtetimes i need to refresh mores because it works in this specific case
oh wow, yeah, i'm gonna hit my limit on API calls, i bet. every time i type anything it runs... hmm....
@jhadams82 told u. grab the json from the last call and put it in a variable. then use that var for the testing
ok, i see what you mean, now. yeah, i'm gonna have to just save one of the responses in a variable. thanks @sorinr

Can someone give me an idea on how I could get this dang search bar to be used more than once? After the initial search, I can't use it again until I reload the page. I'm not finding anything, anywhere. I've tried to .remove but it just gets rid of the div's, nothing else.
http://codepen.io/waynebunch/pen/QEbaNJ
http://codepen.io/waynebunch/pen/QEbaNJ
btw it does show the results in console.log, it's just not showing in the html
@waynebunch , couldn't seem to find a f**kbutton either, did you rename in your html and not update the JS?
@sorinr If I move it outside it doesn't work.
This message was deleted
@waynebunch simply invoke a function on go where in you make an ajax call to api and replace the content in your html
Hello, I'm having trouble with my Navbar D: http://codepen.io/Bungou/pen/dXoJxm?editors=1100 when I remove
the navbar loses its other css properties...why is that?
.nav {

- the color: white; doesn't even do anything. I'm lost X_X
@sorinr I tried that, but then the whole thing doesn't work. I'm assuming it's because my
input var is out of scope
@rahildar - so you're saying I should just run my code in the
success function?
<body>
<div class="container-fluid" id ="backgroundImage">
<div class="introduction">
<h1>Hi, my name is Sanchit.</h1>

}
.introduction{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:25%;

}
For that code, why isn't my introduction recognizing the backgroundImage div as it's parent?
whenever i try positioning the introduction div, it moves it relative to the body, not relative to the backgroundImage div.
@waynebunch why do you need doc ready? i would add an onclick="getInput" to the button and an onkeyup="myFunction()" to the input
@sorinr but I see where you're going with this..thank you
@sanchit13 because introduction is positioned absolute
@UtkarshShukla7 it should still be relative to the parent, shouldn't it?
@sanchit13 no introduction shoulg have position:relative
@sorinr the initial search still works. But if I change input and search again nothing happens. I'm still trying to think what the
myFunction() would be doing on keyup
@sanchit13 position : absolute should place it relative to body and not backgroundImage
@UtkarshShukla7 Do I need position:relative in the backgroundImage div?
@waynebunch the problem its here $('#searchFor').keypress(function(e). told you. my Function() its just a generic name. change it to your name
@sanchit13 yes and introduction position :relative
also try this if doesn't works backgroundImage positioned absolute and introduction position relative
also try this if doesn't works backgroundImage positioned absolute and introduction position relative

waynebunch sends brownie points to @rahildar :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
@sorinr I like the onkeyup=getInput idea. It stalls after I enter the first two letters though
@waynebunch that's because you are overriding events. onkeyup will work as a live search
@waynebunch instead of having a key press event you can simply add event on submit button and depending upon the input in input box you can get the result so no need of key press event ..
waynebunch sends brownie points to @rahildar :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:

@sorinr I like this keypress idea so I commented out all the extra non needed. It still freezes up while doing the live search. http://codepen.io/waynebunch/pen/QEbaNJ
@waynebunch onkeyup you should clear first previous search results and after that append the new search results

Because the img has flex-shrink: 0; on it, when the browser width gets smaller, the text on the right gets pushed out of it's container. Any way to fix?
@notalkingplz , You can use media queries with max-width . I see, you did it with min-width. Instead of using flex display you can use inline-block too. I don't see why inline-block won't work...
@shusil123 The container has a min-width: 0; so that text-overflow works. The text needs to be a block element for text-overflow to work
@notalkingplz , you need to reconstruct your code to work as intended. Give display flex to the main container, which has 3 elements , image and two text blocks. Then, using media queries you can make them responsive or use, flex-wrap: wrap; ....

Otherwise, cool work...

@scucow , maybe currentNum is reset to 1 after each loop. Use for loop instead..
@oiclid , Very nice positioning . Looks cool. Maybe , add smoothscroll to different sections when clicking to nav. And the background image of landing page isn't that satisfying. Try some dark images with white text. Only my opinions, though.

I need the buttons(4,5,6) to use the space left out by the equals button'
@ottomahn , do not use float , Use display: flex; instead. But first read the documentation about flex display. And if you want to use float, you have to give specific class to those buttons and set their width accordingly...

@sentedelviento I would make my <a> tag class "btn fa fa-facebook" href="blabla bla" . no need for button tag. or if you want to keep button tag add an onclick="posttofb()" to your tag and in js create a function posttofb() to do whatever want

@sentedelviento to this:<a class="btn fa fa-twitter twitter-share-button"</a> add an href="" attribute

@saebrabaebra to link a CSS it's better to add it from the settings top left of the CSS pane. Second thing is to not use <head> <body> tags.

@mcorby17 you can make a twitter url in your JS like:

@g1st There are probably other ways to do it, but I think a table is the most straight forward. That is how I did it
ok, I just heard a lot of stories about not to use tables when you can.
@korn3l @Belax8 Ok so I think i'm doing the wrap function wrong... could you guys take a look at it? Btw you have to click to switch to a quote first before it'll work but i'll fix that bug after I get the tweet box having the right text in it http://codepen.io/mcorby17/pen/JKdoMN/?editors=1010

hey guys. i'm currently working on the tic tac toe game, but i think i'm doing it wrong. i wrote a function for the first move, which is full of if/else statemetns, and i feel like continuing this route (writing functions for third, fourth, and fifth moves) will be an endless mess of if/else statements.
am i doing this completely wrong? should be tackling this problem differently?
@mcorby17 I'm not sure why it wont work. I built my url differently.
@Jbelly19 When I first build mine. I used an array, but later I switched to and API because I felt that was more of a challenge.
hello, how can i have two boxes along side each other in bootstrap
@mcorby17 ah great idea! do you think breaking the game down into different functions for each move (first move, second move, third move, etc) is a bad idea?
@ctataru yeah I think that would get annoying for you to code after a while. I haven't done this challenge yet but I think if you had some universal function that you could just call for each move, that would work a bit better
@ctataru Doing something like that would have clunky code.
Idk what you're doing, but any game that does that has to have clunky code.
@Belax8 Yeah opening in another tab keeps it from crashing but it still doesn't put my quote in the tweet box :|
Oh, I just randomly placed Xs and Os as long as the space wasn't filled.
Have you googled tic-tac-toe strategies, that might help?

I'm working on the random quote generator. I used the Quotes on Design API. I can get one quote to generate. But when I press the button again, a new copy of the same quote appears right below the first quote:
Anyone have this experience before?
Ok I got it working! Thanks guys... turns out I just needed to use the .attr() jQuery function
@mcorby17 what was your issue? I'm working on random quote now, too.
@gerarddawson I couldn't figure out how to get the tweet link to hold the quote
I tried using .setAttribute but turns out jQuery needs .attr
@mcorby17 ah ok. i get confused between different methods in javascript and jquery.
@gerarddawson $(".jumbotron").append you append instead of replace html
@sorinr I've changed .append to .html, and that gets a quote to show up, without having subsequent quotes be appended to the bottom
@sorinr thank you

here is my portfolio page in progress,i can't make navbar to collapse open in my mobile,is there something wrong with code?
@efeselgr you need to include jquery js before the bootstrap js in codepen

Challenge Get Geo Location Data
Every browser has a built in navigator that can give us this information.
The navigator will get our user's current longitude and latitude.
You will see a prompt to allow or block this site from knowing your current location. The challenge can be completed either way, as long as the code is correct.
By selecting allow you will see the text on the output phone change to your latitude and longitude
Here's some code that does this:
```javascript
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
$("#data").html("latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>longitude: " + position.coords.longitude); });
:pencil: read more about challenge get geo location data on the FCC Wiki
@evude looks like that method for getting location is deprecated when not using https
The codepen I just posted seems to be working perfectly fine in the chat, but doesn't work in the a separate window.
There's a workaround though, I don't remember what it is

@DanielMW34 add more info on your projects and a contact section
@sorinr The issue I am referring to is the div element containing my photo
I included a background-image with a gradient on that div and it "worked"
however, when I included the same background-image on the div section below it --currently empty and likely to remain as such-- it did not "work"
not sure why that would be so
I even included the same photo in the div element below and gave it an opacity of 0, wherein the background-image again appeared/worked
again, not sure why a background-image with a gradient would appear / not appear based on the content of the element, even if there is no contrasting information or styles between the content and the background-image

@mneuschaefer if (currentMath === ["42"]) return "thx for the fish!"; ????????????
@DanielMW34 i think the issue your having is that your div element needs to have size attributes to it. If you set a background but nothing in the div it is shrink wrapped and will have a size of 0 thus showing nothing. Show you can set width/height attributes or make sure content is inside the div.
Hey, campers! I have a question about the Local Weather project - the user story says to show weather at your location but ip based look can be far off. Is this OK since google chrome needs a secure origin for navigator.location so I just used ip address?

thanks @sorinr - thats pretty accurate. ok your using google maps api. can you use that without a dev key? i don't want to look to closely at the code.

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me what's the use for adding a type to a button ? For example:
<form action="/www.xyz.com">
<input type="text>
<button type="Submit>Submit</button>
</form>I mean, if I nest the button in the form element, HTML should identify that clicking the button will send the data to the server. What then, is the use of a type for a button?
@swastikmohapatra7 it should be <button type="submit">Submit</button> and it triggers automatically your form submission unless u override it
ya, i forgot to add a quotation, and i didn't get you there. What do you mean by autmoatically triggers a form submission?
automatically
@swastikmohapatra7 a button can be given a "reset" type which is used to reset inputted data in a form too not just submit it so you have to state which you want it to do

Hello, I'm still struggling with the Twitch API project. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pass a result from my .getJSON success handler to anywhere else.
If someone could take a look, I'd appreciate it
I tried a construction like
var strObj = $.getJSON("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/" + twitchUserArr[i].toLowerCase(), function(data) {
...ending in "return data;" but it didn't return the retrieved object, it returned a bunch of AJAX stuff I don't understand yet
@punchymango twitchUserArr[i].toLowerCase() the lowercase is not needed btw, im watching it, whats the problem? you dont know how to grab the things from the json?
@punchymango Check out the link on the project page about how to construct the API call : https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/wiki/Front-End-Project-Use-Twitchtv-JSON-API. You're missing the
?callback= part which goes between the API and the function.
Well, the thing is, it didn't actually seem to matter whether I added the ?callback=? or not. The data is getting there, I've checked with console.log. I just can't figure out how to use it to change anything outside of the handler function
@punchymango found it
I tried putting the
$("#list").append("<a href = '" + address + "'><div class = 'pod'><h3>" + uName + "</h3><br /><p>" + content + "</p></div></a>");method inside the callback function also, but weird things happen when I do, it sets uName to the name of the last person in the array for every offline streamer
@tuliodnw the above, having the handler function make all the changes to my HTML, is how I'm used to doing these
@punchymango closed account will give error code 422. so to determine if the account is closed you need to detect that error
@punchymango use .fail and add a callback
the fail goes inside the callback function? When I tried codepen flagged it as a typo. Did I put it in the wrong place?
the .fail I mean @wearenotgroot

Could anyone please help me with my setTimeout function? ive been working on it for a while but it still doesnt work

if you click the start button, what should happen is that the green one blinks, then red one blinks, but both stay lit up. the function is at the top of the javascript section
@hnry
OK, I confess: I'm in trouble. I started building Tribute page,(https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/build-a-tribute-page) and I don't understand the task. Should we use Bootstrap only? I don't know enough. Where can I practise more Bootstrap?
@NewtonXu well
callback(i, array[i]) this needs to be callback(i, array[i])() since callback returns a function
@NewtonXu after that sometimes your array[i] is undefined, so you should check that
@hnry http://codepen.io/NewtonXu/pen/xOwpPZ
Like this? it still doesnt work though? i updated the length to be length-1
Like this? it still doesnt work though? i updated the length to be length-1
Hey there, could anyone send me feedback about the nav design? http://codepen.io/RompePC/full/YWyLOx/
The mobile version only includes the icons
@NewtonXu Try promises :) Or, move your recursion call to the inner setTimeout:
function sequence(x, array) {
var i = x;
var length = array.length - 1;
if (i > length) return;
setTimeout(function() {
$("." + array[i]).addClass(array[i] + "-active");
console.log(i, array[i])
setTimeout(function() {
callback(i, array[i])()
sequence(++i, array);
}, 1000);
}, 1000);
};
@NewtonXu well... if the code is confusing the person who wrote it, you might need to rethink the approach :P
@NewtonXu why do you have
var i = x ? but never use x?
right now there's a race between i and x, i'm guessing you originally wanted to use x to hold on to the old value?
It's a little easier to read without the extra vars, IMO:
function sequence(x, array) {
if (x >= array.length) return;
setTimeout(function() {
$("." + array[x]).addClass(array[x] + "-active");
console.log(x, array[x])
setTimeout(function() {
callback(x, array[x])()
sequence(++x, array);
}, 1000);
}, 1000);
}
@hnry nah i was testing something out but i dont think it matters
@TylerMoeller could you explain a bit what you did, isnt it the same
@NewtonXu anyway, my advice for simon challenge is to learn object orientated programming
and to go with an object orientated approach
Hey, I'm currently working on the Tribute Page and am having difficulty with reducing the white space next to the image in the center. I've tried margin and padding adjustments. It doesn't quite work. Here's the code pen: http://codepen.io/maxgrok/full/xOGwNw/
If I want to center a heading and margin: 0 auto; doesn't work, but using margin-left: some pixels; works then what might be the cause?
@NewtonXu Before, you had
sequence(++x, array); called in the first setTimeout, so it was firing before the inner setTimeout finished. Placing that code in the inner setTimeout makes sure it is called after both setTimeouts have completed.
@hnry i was planning on it but i would still need to make this function work, which is why i started with something very simple
@hnry Simon Game can be done only with two arrays: the total moves and the actual ones, and checking in every move you click
I'm trying to build the wikipedia viewer, but I am stuck on how to assign my input bar value to a global variable. I thought this technique worked for my quote generator, but isn't working when I try it now. Here is my code pen: http://codepen.io/lahowitt/pen/BzoxqP
Thanks!
Thanks!
@RompePC if it's written as objects, its much easier to reason and write
@TylerMoeller yes that was the problem but i didnt see how to fix it, ill see if this works!
@hnry From my POV, I don't know how can be, altough you need only two arrays, a onclick handler and a constant per panel colour (for the arrays).
@TylerMoeller Thanks a lot, the function works and the blinking works now too :)

If both are true, then return the "value" of that property.
If firstName does not correspond to any contacts then return "No such contact"
If prop does not correspond to any valid properties then return "No such property"
Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program. Write your own code.

@hnry I know OOP, and still don't see the benefits for such a simple game

What do i need to add to my codepen to make http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html
this tutorial work

I have React loaded...
I was trying to return "No such contact"; before I checked the other properties.
Hi. Just finished the Tribute Page. Any feedback would be appreciated. Here's the code pen: http://codepen.io/maxgrok/pen/xOGwNw
Hi all. something weird is happening with my wikipedia project. I built a function to carry out an animation when a particular element loses focus. It works great, but if you give and take away focus twice, it carries out the .focusout function twice causing the box to shrink to nothing.
any ideas why? here is the pen http://codepen.io/qckpckt/pen/BzNxEb
@sanchit13 because your div with class row isn't nested inside div of class container
Hey guys, how can I hide an entire div so I can later make it appear when a button is clicked -
I tried $("c1").hide() before document.ready but you can see it coming up and then disappears ...
I tried $("c1").hide() before document.ready but you can see it coming up and then disappears ...
Is there a better way to do it?
@esayago you cannot hide it before the document is ready, but how about using a class and assigning it to it with
display: none;? Then change it after when you want to display it?
@esayago - like this:
hideIt {
display:none;
}And add class="hideIt": to your div.
@khaduch I made the change thanks a lot, it looks more natural

@khaduch on another note. why do divs that are floated sometimes collapse? im having that problem when i call my function to get a quote for my random quote machine that now my button like jumps up on the page because when i call my getquote function (which i have a jquery delay(500) in there during that 500ms my display is set to display:none and collapses my div that contains the quote
@Grizvok - is the div empty? I think that an empty div doesn't occupy any space unless it has contents, or unless you set some width and height (or min-width, min-height, etc.) to keep it "inflated"? That's my guess, without seeing the code.
i believe it is empty for 500ms while i run this code to fade in my quote:
$("#getquote").on("click", function () {
$($quotecontent).delay(500).fadeOut(1000);
timeoutID = window.setTimeout(getRandomQuote, 2000);
$($quotecontent).delay(500).fadeIn(1500);
i guess the delay from the fadeout until the new quote fades in causes it to collapse?
@Grizvok - fading out does go to
display:none', I believe? I think that I just read something about visibility:none; that still makes the things that you change the visibility of still occupy the space that it was occupying? Maybe you can make your fade function do that, instead?
yes im looking at the console as the function is callled on my click it does seem to go to display:none for a bit
hmmm i like the idea of just using .animate instead
thanks @khaduch

@Grizvok - you're welcome - I hope you get it working! Good luck!
even better may be calling my actual getquote function as a callback of fadeTo so the timing of the fadein and fadeout syncs perfectly
i will have to play with it
programming is hard! i love it
haha

Can anyone tell me why I have a margin on the right side of the page? Been trying to get rid of it forever

@sanchit13 You don't have a margin. Do you want your picture more to the left?
This is what I mean, notice the scroll bar on the bottom and there's white space on the right side of the div. It only appears when I add any columns to the row div.
@sanchit13 I think you are using your <header> tags wrong - inside them shouldn't be an information you want to display - also - code pen wraps everying inside the header tags - so you don't have to put them in. Things that would normally go in there - like css and scripts are put in at teh settings
Why won't my controller set the returned postcode my service retrieved to $scope.zipcode?? Using Angular and $http. Thanks!!http://codepen.io/alexanderdd/pen/aZvKmW/

@sanchit13 Well, I've found the problem. But I'm not sure why it's a problem....
Someone else played around with overriding container-fluid and it worked
When I remove the <div class="row"> it removes the scroll bar
@Nachlawi Yeah, whenever i tried adding columns to that row it freaks out. I have no idea why.
does someone know JSON here?
If so can you explain to me why
If so can you explain to me why
json.weather[0].main works, but json.weather.main doesn't work for this API: http://openweathermap.org/current#current_JSON
its not a json object
@coymeetsworld But doesn't that mean that it loads the first element in weather, which is 'id'?
Hello! I am working on the tribute page and have everything figured out except how to do the border that the example pen has in the lighter grey. Here is the example pen: https://codepen.io/FreeCodeCamp/full/NNvBQW/.
Here is my pen: https://codepen.io/coder7215/pen/rLOWBL
@coder7215 Do you mean the jumbotron? If you want that then make a
<div class="jumbotron">.
no weather[0] is the first element of the array, it also coincidentally is the only element of the array @Nachlawi
and that element is a json object, which you would use dot notation to access the properties of like main and temp
