Auto Searching A PDF
Jun 13, 2006
I have been looking for a way to open a PDF file and automatically
locate and go to a certain phrase within the file. The phrase should
only appear once within the file, if not, the first occurrance is all
that is needed.
The file is needed to be opened from a website, into a new window. As
it is opened, it needs to be sent the key phrase that it is looking
for. I have no trouble choosing what phrase on the html side or
opening the pdf file on its own. Note that the opening and finding of
phrases would be done with Javascript on the html side.
Essentially what I am looking for is for the user to be able to click a
link on the website. The site would open up the new pdf window
containing the file and is automatically at the spot where the first
phrase appears in the pdf.
However, I do not wish to attach any Javascript to the pdf file itself.
The file may be changing over time by other users who may not have the
expertise to deal with the javascript adding. At the moment, the
original file is created in word and then transfered to PDF. So the
PDF file name stays the same, as well as its location which would be in
the same directory as the html file that links to it. But the contents
of the PDF may change over time so I cannot add a Javascript to the pdf
file.
Note that it may be possible if neccessary to add Javascript to the
PDF. I may be able to get the users to edit the file in PDF mode but
that is not a given.
I do not want a pop up window such as in the find option for the user
to press before coming to the right location unless any other possible
solution is not available.

Using the very basic jqModal example, isn't it supposed to auto size and auto center the modal on the page? I placed a table that was wider than the modal's default settings and it's off the page and does not create scroll bars on the page to see the hidden section of the modal.
The default class is
Now, I know I can change the width of the modal but what about the positioning?

- Asks the User to select a date (year, month, day) via drop-down boxes- Converts whatever the user inputs to a formal that will match a string value found in an imported array in a .js file... And what I'm having trouble with:- Searching through the imported array for a matching value- Printing whatever block of the array matches the value, as well as any others that also match the value.
For starters, because the array I'm working with is enormous, I'll just make one up here that is still in the same format. In working with the main code, assume that this is the cdr.js file:
var cdr = [
{
"callid": "Guest User1",
"start": "2009-05-11 15:08:40",
[code]....
I've essentially left the section where the search code needs to be blank as I'm not even sure where to begin.

I've been searching google endlessly and I've come to the conclusion I'm not using the proper search keywords. I'm trying to create something similar to the banner/button combo you can find here:[URL]..
I assume these type of slide show buttons combos use java script and possibly php. If anyone knows the proper name for this type of slide show or can point me to some scripting

I've tried every combination I can think of, and I can't figure this out. According to me, if you type a name that matches one of the xml items' names into the box using the following code:
[Code]....
it should show the gmarker with that name... but nothing. If I leave it blank and hit the search button at least I get the alert, so something is working.

<script type='text/javascript'>
function highlight()
{
var find = document.BODY.term.value;
var text = document.BODY.body.createTextRange();
var mark = text.getBookmark();
if(!find)
{
alert('You must enter a search term');
return false;}
text.findText(find);
alert(text.moveToBookmark(mark));}
</script>
<form name='BODY'>
<input type='text' name='term' /><input type='button' value='Find' onclick='highlight();' />
<br />
<textarea name='body'>hello there, hello!</textarea>
</form>
Basically, what I would like this to do is simply search for a string within the textarea and highlight it. So far all it does is return true or false on success ( concerning findText AND moveToBookmark ).

I am trying to search an AJAX response for an ID, but it is not working as intended.
// Some code omitted
success: function(result) {
$('#load').fadeOut(250, function() { // Fading out my loading gif
$(this).remove(); // Removing it
[Code]....
So, to sum up the problem: I want to search the result variable for a form with the ID of "memberForm". If it is not found, that means the login was not successful and therefore error messages should be shown (that is what happens within my if sentence braces). If memberForm was found (the else sentence), then that code should be executed. But my if sentence always validates to true, so apparently there is something wrong with it. These are the possible return values that will be stored in the result variable:
If the login was successful:
<form method="post" name="memberForm" id="memberForm" action="logout.php">this is the form</form>
Not successful:
<br /><div class="validation" id="logfail">Login failed. Invalid login combination or inactive account.</div>

I feel stupid for asking a question about searching arrays, when there's a very similar thread that has been answered just recently on the first page; however, I'm still having trouble contemplating my own scenario.Basically, my program prompts the user for the length of the array and then asks the user to fill the array with words.I want to confirm if the user wants to search the array for those words. If so, the user will then be prompted to enter the word he wishes to search for; if found, the location of that word will be reported and the number of times the word has been searched for will be kept track of in a separate array.Here is what I have so far:
/* -- phase 3 ------------------------------------------------------
search for words the user asks for
*/

I'm having a bit of trouble with javascript... I'm searching for a string that starts with another string
code:
for (x in products ){
s = products[x].id.toString(10);
v = "/";
[Code]....
the variables are integers but since i'm searching for the beginning only i turned them into strings...
the problem occurs when I add the it turns out gibberish..
p.s. if there is a faster way to do it without turning the variables to string also would be great to know.

I am trying to search an array for a string and then if it is found alert it. I have found examples of how to iterate the array and how to use .IndexOf to return a true false statement as to whether the array includes the string, but i don't know what to do after that and how to display the string if its found.

I am working on a little project where I have a form that allows a user to input a sentence that will be sorted alphabetically when they click sort. The result should be displayed in the Output box at the bottom. Then They should be able to enter a string that will be search from the previous sentence entered and that search will display in the output as well. Then last they should be able to enter in a replacement string; however, I have not done much reading on that so I am completely clueless there.
I thought I would start with the small stuff and last I would work on the replacement string. So I have the form done, but I seem to be struggling with the functions. I think I should use aname.sort to sort the words in ABC order. I am wondering if I am just completely off on how I am trying to do all of this. Any tips would be great, just to maybe point me in the right direction. Code:

When I change some JS code I often want to find all the files it might affect. To do this it is easy to search the directory containing my files with Windows Explorer.
But it appears to find only words that would appear on the webpage, and even HTML coding. But it doesn't find JS coding IF the file name ends in .html.
If I change the suffix to .js or .txt it finds the JS coding, but it's not practical to change the sufix of so many files for such a search.

I'm got an application that uses (will use) 6 drop down boxes to filter through items stored in an array, if I can get a search system sorted out.At the minute i've tried a range of ways and I can't suss this out. At the minute its counting the number of entries that match the filter criteria but its not even getting that 100% right.I've tried using one big if statment 'if condition 1 && condition 2 && condition3 = true then' etc. I've tried nested ifs. t the moment I thought I'd try to dump the values of servos into a new array, that meet the criteia of the first if, then using another if, create another array and repeat this until only the servos that meet all 6 if conditions are stored inside one array that i can then set to display on screen. if there are no matches then i can display a 'none found' messageHeres my code, hopefully its commented enough to follow whats happening,

I was searching to float a image to whole page, suppose I am having a butterfly image (.gif) now I want to fly it in my whole page, this page already contains lots of data or HTML elements, so that image should fly in above of all this data / element. So i was wandering that is it possible with jQuery.
