Javascript Functions nestled inside an If statement which is inside another Function

I have the following code (I am pasting a smaller excerpt for brevity):



lockButton.onclick = function() { navBarSecKeyFunction(); }



function navBarSecKeyFunction() 

{

   document.getElementById('input-group').classList.toggle('show');



   if (document.getElementById("navSecKey").value != "") 

   {

     setTheKey();

   } 

   else 

   {

     return false;

   }

}


However, the setTheKey() function never gets called? I know the if logic works because if I replace setTheKey() with something like alert("this works") then I do get an alert. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and how to make the call to setTheKey()






javascript

    If you can put an alert above the setTheKey(); call and have the alert happen, that function must also be called. Are you sure something unexpected isn't happening in that function after its called?

    Yeah, we need to see setTheKey() - how are you so sure it isn't being executed? Add a console.log() to the first line of setTheKey() and see if it dumps.

  • Sorry, the navSecKey is an input box and the if statement checks if there is data in the input box then its supposed to call setTheKey() and if its empty it will return false. As I mentioned, the if statement works because I can definitely check if the navSecKey input box has values or not. Hope that helps!

    Is function setTheKey() in the same .js file as navBarSecKeyFunction()?

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
