I'm trying to come up with what is probably a kludge. What I'd like to do is take the responseText from an AJAX request -- which will be a full HTML page -- and parse it first to find if there is a <form>...</form> in it. If not I'll display a success message and all is fine, but if it's there, then I want to extract just that form section and display it within a <div> in the page.
This is where my JS skills are failing me. Can anyone point me to the applicable functions, tutorial, or whatever that would show me how to find the <form> and extract it and then replace my div contents with it (just innerHTML?).
I'm trying to write a widget for Mac OSX Tiger. Here's the problem: The user enters a search term which is sent to a perl script on a remote server. This script returns a fully formatted HTML page. I only want part of that page to be displayed. How do I go about doing this?
In my browser, I make an AJAX request. The server sends me a fragment of an HTML document. That fragment has some JavaScript inside some script tags. How do I run these scripts when the fragment arrives at the browser?
I am developing an application using AJAX and CSS. I have a webpage in which i have some hyperlinks. I want that when ever some one move the cursor on some link, than mini preview should be loaded before clicking. I have done that but problem is that i want just the ist paragraph of the target webpage not the whole page. I dont want images in my preview window.
I'm using $.ajax for an ajax request and I've setup a basic html form and if there are errors in the form when the user submits them my server side script is returning them in an array to the client with the errors.
If there are multiple values in the array, how do I display each error on its own line either using <li> tags or even just a <br/>? I'm injecting the ajax response into a div using .html() but how do I iterate the array within that div so I get one error message per line?
Do I need to construct the HTML on the client side after the ajax response has come back or should I do this on the server side before the data is even returned to the client? Right now I'm returning a raw array so that is why I'm asking the question about how to format things up and get the form errors into my div.
I'm sure this is probably a simple question, but I'm going to ask anyway. I need to extract part of a URL and place it into a variable for use elsewhere on the page. The part to be extracted will be of varying lengths.
As an example, if I have the following [URL] I need to extract "SS". Basically, anything that appears between "static.nsf/" and "/Steve's_APT_test_page". That value needs to be put into a variable and called elsewhere on the page. For testing purposes, I'm using the following code, just to see if it works (which, so far, it doesn't):
<script type= type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var page_url = window.location.href; var segments = page_url.split("/"); alert(segments[4]); </script>
I am using jQuery for ajax call and receives HTML as a response.
Response I am getting is
I would like to parse this response and fetch "1","Debopam" and "Poddar" from the response HTML. How to do this and is there any way to parse it using jQuery selector.
I want to use AJAX where the response from server side would be an XML with root element has two divs one for status with values success or failure and other child is HTML which needs to replaced if first div is success.
I 'm having an ajax function that polls a server for a response. This response is in fact an html page which is dynamically constructed on the server. What I want is to be a able to replace my current html page ( not only the body ) with the html I am receiving as response from the server. I tried using document.write or innerHTML on html element but none of these does not seem to work. Here is a sample of the code I am using. code..
I have page with an Ajax request which returns an entire <hml>..</html> page and I would like to use this response data to replace the current page. I wrote the following :
I have an ajax post which returns a large html response. It is getting truncated at 98784 characters everytime. Is there a limit to a response size or a way around this?
You have an AJAX request and the response is mixed HTML + JavaScript. The javascript is referring to elements in the HTML component. Currently the JavaScript gets evaluated first thing when success is triggered and the HTML is returned as a parameter. Obviously this is not going to work ( in this scenario anyway ). As a previous Mootools user I was used to Request.HTML's responseJavaScript parameter and evalScripts option. None of there options are available in the $.ajax implementation.
P.S. I know I could make the javascript a file and load it separately. I know I can make my response JSON and have the js and html in separate properties of the JSON object. I want neither.
This is a simple script I though of to get the filename of container for html.
Note: this only is tested on mozilla firefox 2 on windows vista
document.write("<a style='display:none' id='zFilenameFinder1' href=''>q</a>"); document.write("<a style='display:none' id='zFilenameFinder2' href='b'>q</a>"); var zDocURL = document.getElementById('zFilenameFinder1').href; var zCompareURL = document.getElementById('zFilenameFinder2').href; zCompareURL = zCompareURL.replace('b',''); var zFilename = zDocURL.replace(zCompareURL, ''); alert(zFilename)//filename handler
it works by creating two relative urls. one's href is blank, which when called by link.href returns the absolute value, giving the absolute link the page, then you compare it to a link that has a relative href of "b" which can be compared to the other link to give you the whole url
i was using $.ajax method to get my ajax page on my main page,which is working great.But now if i have links in that ajax page then i can't open them in that same div,the links are opening in new window,but i want to open in same part,i tried google it and then found, i have to use iframe instead of div.how to do with only use jquery and div.
I need to get the innerHtml details of a page .in the below script when i alert the obj iam getting the Text of Html i need to get the inner html object how it is possible.[code]...
I stumbled across jQuery while during a search for my project that involves parsing and extracting content from HTML pages. I have a collection of xpath strings that identifies the data I would like to extract. Wondering if I could use jQuery for this purpose.
I'm looking to use Javascript to pull apart a page of HTML I have already fetched. The page contains a table, within which there are rows containing...
Either:
0000000 - 0000000<some html>00<some html>0
or:
0000000 - 0000000<some html>00 - 00<some html>0
I'm interested in extracting only the numbers (which may not always be 0!), in each case. I bet this can be done using a regular expression (or two). Can anyone help?
I'm trying to put in my javascript codes and html codes into the sharepoint "content editor web part" source editor.i have this set of javascript codes that needs to work together with the html codes.i created a link using ahref with the tagname as "homepage". i want to hide this "homepage" link using javascript codes.this is the codes that I'm using right now. the html part is working fine[the link "Homepage" is being display and is able to click on] but not for the javascript part.
Some servers return JavaScript as the response to an AJAX request. When the response JavaScript is eval'ed it calls other JavaScript functions already in the browser to update elements, etc. This seems like a good system because it allows so much freedom in creating the desired behavior in the browser. The required data doesn't have to be converted to XML or JSON on the server. The browser doesn't have to have templates for interpreting and converting this data into some change in the browser. All of the conversion algorithms don't have to be written and changed when new behavior is required. This remote procedure call approach is the predominant system in the Ruby on Rails world. (Unfortunately they are calling Prototype.js functions.)
However apparently some people seem to think this remote procedure call approach is a bad idea. I can't see why it is so bad because it is so lightweight and flexible. It also helps to keep the client less intellegent which seems good in a world of incompatible client-side bugs.
If I use some neutral data format like XML to accomdate different types of clients then I have to write different client-side interpreters for each type of client (browser, RSS, POP, cell phone, etc). Why not just write different server-side code that generates the correct JavaScript (or other) for the requesting client type?
I am using ajax / php where I am looking up some info from the database and populating a select list dynamically, however I am running into some sort of size limitation with the ajax.response object. If the string I am passing to javascript from php is too large javascript does not get it all the data. The magic number appears to be 6123 characters, anything below that it works fine, anything above and if I alert the ajax.response, I see the string is cutoff. Any ideas where this limitation is defined?
Now what i want to do is: i have a callajax() function. with in this function i will call do_login() function. this do_login() handles an ajaxrequest and returns the responsetext.
Now i want to do some validation on this responsetext(in case of onsuccess). so i am trying to return value to callajax() function for onSuccess case in ajaxrequest.submit();
That is(onsuccess response) supposed to be some string( but not true or false). but i am always getting false in ajaxcall() function. i know the do_login() function is returning false before ajaxrequest completes
So i want to stop this and make do_login wait until ajaxrequest completes and then i want to return it's response to callajax() function.
