View 2 RepliesI have a file that generates web galleries in Adobe Lightroom. They are generated depending on which files are selected and the metadata in those files.
Basically it is a series of pages of thumbnails called index.html index_1.html index_2.html etc.
Then a set of pages for each individual image.
An example can be seen here: [url](the page navigation links are not great, but I have addressed that, they're at the bottom >> )
Currently if a user clicks on a photo there is a 'return to thumbnails button at the top, but this always takes them to /index.html
So the user could be at a picture after browsing to /index_39.html and still get returned to /index
Is there any way I can use history.go to find the last instance of index.html Or index_x.html (where x is any number) and take them back to that instead?
I'm about to start a project where the application is one used on a publicly accessed machine. It could be like, say, a ticket purchasing application in a kiosk machine; or maybe touch-screen app that tells grocery shoppers which aisle has coffee, etc.
So my question is, can javascript (or some other language?) be used to open a window without any controls (toolbars, menubars, titlebars, frame, etc) so that the user can't close the application (or resize, change, etc.)?
The portable versions of Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird for use with
USB drives seems like a great idea and one I could make a helluva lot of
use of at work - but before I drive down that particular road, does
anyone know how good / bad / indifferent the implementation of
Javascript is on these apps? Code:
I'm poking at a small "single page application" (SPA), ala TiddlyWiki,
to act as kind of a local, single-user version of Twitter (no real
application, except to familiarize myself with JavaScript). Right now
I'm using a hidden field to hold JSON, which is currently my flat-file
database of posts.
Is there a better way to store JSON data in a SPA other than hidden
fields? I'm Googling now to allay or confirm my concerns, but I'm
worried that there may be some upper limit to how much data you can cram
in the value of one.
I'm using JSON mostly because (a) I really prefer it to XML in
JavaScript applications, (b) it seems (key word, "seems") smart to
separate my post data from posts (so I can show n-number of posts at a
time), and (c) I really dislike parsing XML in JavaScript when JSON
seems like a viable alternative. (Though, given my size/space if JSON
isn't going to work, I'm not averse to using XML.)
For a calendar project implemented with pure HTML/CSS/JS I need to access local data files (.ICS). These ICS/iCal data has to be accessed also by other applications (eg. sync, backup, etc).Can anyone point to a possible solution to use HTML5 compatible calls (or jQ plugin) AND how to access the localStorage files also from the other apps.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFrom the common user perspective (like my grandma), why would they care
if its a java applet or an ajax application? Say I want to make a chat
system on my website...If i'm doing really involved Comet push-style
data communication, and rendering everything using DHTML, why would
users prefer that over a java applet?
Moreover, say I use a java applet to transfer data through a socket
connection, then use DHTML to display the data, so that basically the
front end is the same, but the backend is differs, why would a user
prefer the comet-style programming over applet?
I'm asking because I wrote an Ajax chat system through polling, and I
want to switch to a Comet push-style system because polling just isn't
responsive enough. I want to know if I can avoid Comet (since it is
alot of overhead for the server) and just use an applet in the
background to transfer data through socket connections, then use DHTML
to render the chat boxes.

Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, Take Your CSS to the Desktop with Adobe AIR!.
The only book that covers Adobe AIR with AJAX (html, javascript) is Larry Ullman's Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide
All the other books cover Flex (MXML) and Flash (Actionscript) and expect you to know those things first.
Can someone give me the code to show or hide a field based on the status
of another field (in this case a checkbox). The actual application is
Adobe Acrobat.

Great article. Just one question - why did you choose xml and not sqlite database? Don't you think using a sqlite database is a more stable way of storing the preferences?
How can I detect whether Adobe Acrobat Reader (any version) is installed using javascript? I am able to detect the installation using IE 5+/NS7 on Windows. But unable to detect on IE/NS on Mac 10.3.3

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a submenu that expands over the adobe pdf reader addon/plugin. See this basic exampleI need to make it so that the menu stays above the plugin. Currently, parts of it are cut off.After some research I came across the idea of placing an iframe below the submenu to force it to stay on top. As the topic suggests this is called an "iframe shim" and I have been some what successful. See this basic example one submenu is shown on page load because i plan to take screen shots of it) The only problem is that it doesn't work in opera. I have tested it in chrome and firefox and they are working. I can't test it in ie8 at the moment because the plugin for some reason just won't work on the page, however i have tested the approach before and it did work in ie
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded the new Adobe Edge program for creating HTML5 websites. I was trying out a proof of concept for something I wanted to do on a site with a simple circle shape (will eventually be a soccer ball) rolling across the screen when clicked. The animation looks great, but it happens when the page loads, not when the image is clicked.

I am trying to put together a Adobe Air Application that is basically a RSS feeder for my blog (custom made). I have the Air application all design and coded on the front end in terms of how it looks. My problem now is that I dont know how to get that XML document to my Air application using jQuery. Im still a beginner at jQuery (and JS in general).
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst off, sorry if this is the wrong section. Adobe Forms isnt exactly Web Development, but its the only place I could find to post about javascript. If this isnt the correct section, Now, onto the question (please note, I am inexperienced with javascript). I have an Adobe form with a default text like this I have javascript that looks like this, so that when tabbing into the field, it skips past the default text:
function SetEnd (text)
{
if (text.createTextRange)
{
var FieldRange = text.createTextRange();
FieldRange.moveStart('character', text.value.length);
FieldRange.collapse();
FieldRange.select();
}
}
SetEnd(this);
I was wondering if there is a way to make it so the default text cant be changed at all. Even better would be an alternative way of having the default text there but not "part" of the field, but at the same time, not being able to type over it either.
I'm using Adobe Spry for some transitional effects, based on this script: http:[url]....The page I'm working on is located here: http:[url].....As you see, on page load the first item is shown ("Giovanni Pappalardo - Nullafacente"), and then the other records are shown when clicking on each thumbnails
My questions are:1. Is there a way to hide, on page load, that first item, and showing it ONLY if relative thumbnail is clicked? I tried to apply some "display: none", but I get stuck on JavaScript part, since nothing seem to work... (honestly my JS skills are very poor)
2. While doing transitions between a record and another there's a moment in which full image still hasn't loaded (and so there's a white placeholder); is there a way to avoid that, i.e. preloading images?
I have a client which would like to use Adobe Contribute to maintain their website, and the website requires popup windows (for larger images) or a lightbox feature. The problem is how do I make images popup into new windows, without toolbars, etc. I would prefer lightbox than popup windows, if possible. How I can do this, so the client can add more images, as they maintain their website? For anyone that hasn't used Contribute, you can only edit <a href="page.htm"> and nothing else for the links, so it means onclick can't be added to <a href="page.htm">. The only way to add a link is to click on a button in the tools.

I am trying to find how to use custom tags in html and render data based on their use.
A good example is the joomla <jm:whatever> tag.
I found the following article: [url]
I think it might be outdated though because the behavior:url element does not seem to work. Plus, when I check the style sheet on a joomla site, it doesnt seem to use this method. I think these tags might be xml but I do not know how to render them based on the tag.
For example: <customAbbrv:display src="test.html" label="Test" />
I would want this tag to fire test.html and pass the attribute label which is set to Test.
I am facing an issue where a link on my website opens in a new window if you simply click on it. However, if you right click and say open in new window or new tab, it opens the same window (URL) again from where the link is clicked.
Self Service Option is a link and the JSP calls a function getSelfServSite() when the link is clicked. This is how the code flows in my case
function getSelfServSite()
{
getToTheLink("${myConfigInfo.selfServiceURL}");
// this is because the URL is configurable
[Code].....
I want it to go to the right link no matter how the user click it.
I'm trying to set a margin onLoad based on window size.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to show a modal window in a frame based page.I am creating the modal window with div tags dynamically.I am using below js code to set css properties of the div as below:
Code:
function setModalWinStyle(frame){
frame.document.getElementById('modalLogin').style.position="fixed";
//frame.document.getElementById('modalLogin').style.position="absolute";
[code]...
This gives me result of a fixed modal window in the center (but only looks like in center), relative to my Content Frame (which is the middle frame with other frames as Header, Nav and Footer frames).How can I get the width and height of the viewport for the whole page at a time to center the modal window relative to actual center of the page not just content frame. Also I need to calculate the resize factors, to make it center when window resizes.
An example of the resizing of an image can be seen here as well as at most photography galleries that are full-screen. You can see the size of the image change by shrinking your browser window. I want to make that gallery using javascript. I already have the ability to make a horizontal slider with left/right navigation - that part is easy. I just have never done anything with dynamic image sizes.One thing that was brought up to me already was the ability to shrink the browser window to fit.
