I have set of html pages that are installed locally on machine. I want to make ajax call to local files. In Firefox everything works fine. IE is able to load html pages through ajax call but not able to load xml document.
Chrome doesn't support ajax call locally...and I don't care about it. I need it to work on IE & firefox.
I'm having an issue getting jQuery to load from a local file system. My head links are:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollTo-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.localscroll-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox-3.0.3/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/myscripts.js"></script>
This works fine when served from my server via http. However, I want to load this entire site (including all linked js/css files) from a local filesystem for offline usage. When I move the project to a local filesystem, the browser throws a bunch of errors from the secondary scripts (like jquery-ui) which indicate that the main jQuery lib isn't loading (ie.ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $). This behavior is consistent across IE7/FF3/Safari4Mac.
I'm busy making a project which needs to be ran locally. It has to work on Firefox only.
I've ran into the problem I can't load local XML files from another directory then the html file is located.
When I try loading XML trough an ajax request with the url "content.xml" everything works fine. As soon as I want the XML to be loaded from another folder, e.g. "../../../content.xml" it doesnt enter my success function.
$.ajax({
cache: "false",
type: "GET",
url: "../../../content.xml?r=" + Math.random(),

Is Json considered the better file format for loadind data via Jquery AJAX? I am going to use it either way, but from a cutting edge stand point, is JSON looked at a more cutting edge since it loads faster. 2. And for that matter is anyone using css3 and E4X? All these seem to require the latest versions of all browsers. Since my goal is to be cutting edge I was thinking to do some stuff in the above listed that require only the latest browser if it is detected, if not use what works in most all browsers? What are cutting edge web app developers really doing at this time?

I have a .js file, we want to make it to load a html file right next to it, both files are on client system. I couldn't find any such examples and some posts talked about JavaScript security issues, I wonder if it is related to what I want.
Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.
note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.
I've written a slideshow script which loads and displays a series of >1Mb images from the local machine. Each image is loaded twice - once to get the dimensions and once to be shown on the screen, so it can be dynamically resized by another script.
This script runs without problems in Opera and Internet Explorer, no matter how many times it's executed. However, after it runs a couple dozen times in Firefox, the width and height attributes of the image start returning 0. It seems like the loading has slowed down considerably and the script starts skipping to the next line without waiting for it to finish.
I've tried adding the line while(!image.complete), which works, but invariably causes Firefox to display a message saying the script is causing Firefox to run slowly, and asking if I want to abort.
Is there a way I can flush earlier images from the cache, or somehow free up resources so the script will continue to run as quickly as it does at the start?
if its possible to read xml files locally from an html page using javascript without using any local server?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIm trying to add some simple display features to a web application and am running into some unexpected IE8 behavior. Basically, the app runs some database retrieval from the server using Ajax techniques, and during that time (say, 30 seconds), I want to just give the user a clue as to whats going on. It could be as simple as a wait cursor. More interesting, I prefer to unhide a div with an animated loading icon, then hide it again when loading is complete.

javascript:
can I write to a local .txt File
as exaple:
open() ....writel(() ...close()..... ....save as ... c: est.txt
I have web page where user can upload file. He can select which file to upload with standard HTML input of type file. I want to add this feature: when user select some file (e.g. picture, pdf etc.) in file select dialog, I want to add link to selected local file. When user click on it browser(maybe associated application) should open local file so user can review what he selected. I was experimenting with urls with "file" protocol but it works only with html file located on local computer not for one on web server. I found that this is because of security restriction in browsers.

For a project I am working on, I need to retrieve links from html
documents. The easy part is to obtain 'plain' links like <A
HREF="http://site/path/document">, but when those links are
javascript'ized, the only robust solution needs to load the javascript
and dom document representation in the same way that browsers do. For
example, links in the form:
<A HREF="javascript:function_declared_before("arguments"));>
First I though that using spidermonkey (the mozilla javascript
interpreter) should be enough, but in that case, I dont have the
document structure elements (like document, window, document.history,
document.form.element, etc), so I tried parsing the document using a
library to build a tree representation of it, but that leads me to the
same problem again, that is, I have to represent all tree nodes as
javascript entities.
Anybody here have worked on a similar problem? What tools do you
think I should take a look?
I am working on a project involving the Google Maps api. I have an application that spits out a text file with lat/lng coordinates plus some other info. I'm trying to figure out how to get the data from the local text file into a javascript array that can then be used by the Google Map api to create the map.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I'm fairly certain that there is not a way to do it just with Javascript, but I thought I would ask. If not, any suggestions on how to do it, perhaps with xmlhttprequest and a PHP script? I don't need the text file to actually be saved on the web server, but if that's the only option then I can go that route.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trawling everywhere, I cannot find a solution anywhere for the following:
I need a webpage with two list boxes and a text box, I want the two listboxes to be dynamic/cascading (the second dependant upon the choice in the first).
And the textbox dependant upon the selection from the second listbox.
This data has to come from a XML file stored on the local PC or Network drive.
Most importantly I do not want the user of the page to be prompted with the activeX warning.
The PC's are secure so I cannot tweak the reg, it gotta work completely with XML, XSL, Javascript etc only Can this be done if so please can someone post a simple example.
