I want the list of browser which is not supporting Java Script.
So far I am thinking only JavaScript is the standard scripting language
supports in most the browser. Is any scripting language supports in all
browsers.
I went through the past six months or so of entries
in c.l.javascript, and found a couple where people
had expressed opinions about the value of supporting
much older versions of Netscape and IE. The entries
included incidental mention of server logs showing
how many pages had been retrieved by such browsers.
I'd like to get some sort of communal variety of
opinions on how much effort it's worth to put in the
support, or in some cases, the "graceful degradation"
allowing partial capabilities to remain in a page
under the old browser.
My situation is that I have no access to server side
capabilities or CGI, have yet to buckle down and learn
Java, but have a fairly complex application I'd like
accessible via the web.
Are there links answering:
1. How many commercial sites still insist on full
compatibility? Allow significant degradation? Give
up on NN < 6? Ignore browsers with small market
shares?
2. How do developers feel about coding for browsers
older than, say, two years?
3. Are there statistics from a variety of sites
showing use by different browsers?
I just tested all the browsers I have for support of
document.documentElement.scrollLeft to determine how many pixels the
window has been scrolled to the right. I'm trying to determine if I
really need to go to all the trouble of feature detection for determine
page scroll amount of if the old browsers are old enough now just to
ignore them.
Below are the OS-browser combinations that worked in my test.
OS X 10.4
Safari 2.0.4
Opera 9.00
Firefox 1.5.0.6
OS X 10.3
Safari 1.3.2
Opera 9.00
Firefox 1.5.0.6
(Failed in Internet Explorer 5.2)
Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.000.xpclient.010817-1148
Firefox 1.5.0.6
Opera 9.01
IE 6 was released in August 2001 which is a long time ago so worrying
about IE 5 seems unnecessary for some kinds of web sites. And IE 5 on
OS X is a tiny fraction of people surfing the web.
Does anyone know which are the most recent browsers that would not
support document.documentElement.scrollLeft? Any mobile devices or are
they all running something based on Mozilla or Opera?
I'm programming a function that breaks a massive string (2 million + characters) into "manageable" chunks of 500,000 characters. The function goes as follows [code]...
As you can see, everything should work fine, and the function should return a stringified json array (which would be parsed and sent to a server) but the loop stops after the first interval. When I decrease the length of "v" using substr to 5 characters, the loop works fine. What could the problem be?
I have included image slider and lavalamp menu in one of my projects. The problem here is both works well in Firefox. But not working in IE. I have included easing for the jquery.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some html code i would like to be printed to the page only if the
browser has javascript enabled. I have tried to use document.writeln()
but the string i want to print bot contains some ' and " in it. I don't
know how to set the delimiters of the string that is passed as argument
so that i don't get an error in the page.
Just wondering if anybody can recommend the best JavaScript based DOM
browser / inspector?
I search for a way in javascript to prevent browser from caching my
HTML page in its "history" and "temporary files" if there is any .
In my course on website design we just started some JavaScript. In the very first assignment nothing shows in my browser. I have two questions:
Is there a way to get it to show in my browser so I can complete the assignment?
Is JavaScript widely unviewable? Here is the script I used:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!Hide from non-JavaScript browsers
document.write("Today is 12/15/2003<br>");
document.write("Only 10 days until Christmas");
//Stop hiding -->
</script>
how do i know if a browser supports javascript or not ? I implemented some javascript on my site, but noticed that some browsers do not support our scripts. i am using IE 5.0 now on another system, and it doesnt seem to work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am simply trying to set a field value on a form.
e.g. document.form1.stockLevel.value = 99;
This works on all browsers PC & Mac, with the exception of Safari browser on a MAC.
Tried all alternatives:
document.all.stockLevel.value = 99;
document.forms['form1'].stocklevel.value = 99;
.......etc etc
None of these work on the damn safari browser.
Anyone any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been playing with some javascript code and have produced a very
rough proof of concept source code editor written in javascript (a bit
like FCKeditor). Its not ready for release ((L)GPL>2 when it is) but I
thought I'd ask for any guidance and tips.
The intention is to provide a language nuetral source code editor
writen purely in html and javascript so that it can provide code
highlighting/completion etc, eventually as part of an ajax(ish) IDE so
with fckeditor you can manage web sites completely remotely.
There is a temptation to try and use mozilla/venkman but I'd like it to
run on small handhelds too so I will stick to writing it in pure
Javascript/Html.
The intial plan is to produce a javascript editor and then a stylesheet
editor (using the CSS editor on Firefox may make this a low priority)
but I'd like it to be configurable for any language so almost any
coding can be done over the web.
Anybody know any examples of similar that I could plagiarise to get the
basic architecture right?
I have some very strange problem on the Mac (OS-X) with the Safari
browser 1.0 (v85). Some information in my form was not filled in...
after I turned on debugging and checked the console it displayed some
error messages.
The messages displayed were like:
(event handler): value undefined (result of expression trim) is not
object. Cannot be called.
I have no idea what this means!!! Does anyone know where to find the
solution for this problem? The page works fine on Windows with IE (and
probably some more browsers).
The trim function is located in an exteral javascript file which is
referenced in the head of the html. Code:
I have to access a website which does a stupid browser check and only

Now, I am not talking about some kind of malicious coding, or spyware writing by any means, but I do need it to be able to read the cookies from a site other than my own. At least I think this is what is required. What I am trying to accomplish is this; I have a stats package setup on a different domain than my live website and I am using it to track the stats of the users on my site other than paying for stats service through some other company, and it seems to be working just as I need it to, only I would like for it to be able to do a little bit more. Right now, all it is capturing form the user is their IP address, browser information and host information on their ISP. But, I would like for it to be able do more. I would like for it to be able to retrieve certain cookies generated by a different site and show me the information in which the cookies hold... I am not talking about displaying passwords or any such thing like that, I just need certain information.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to detect with javascript the height and width of a browser window that's open? Much the opposite of a pop-up where you define the height and width I guess you could say - anyone know if this is easily possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on an internal browser based application for my company and I would like to remove the toolbar from the Browser window.
The JSP screens have a typical header, body and footer structure. I have tried putting in a javascript in the header that blocks the back button but it seems to only work on some of the screens. What I would like to do is just remove the whole toolbar tp prevent anymore problems. Unfortunately the Users want keep the address bar and they do not want to have the application pop-up in a new window after they login.
Is there any way that I can have the toolbar disappear after the User logs in and goes to the next screen?
I'm looking for a JavaScript that does not only detects wheather the visitor uses Netscape or IExplorer, but also which version.
I would like to use one style.css for Netscape 6.x and IE 5 and up, and an alternative_style.css for Netscape 4.x.
Simple JavaScript code for browser detection:
/**
* Browser detection
* @Created-On 2007-11-27 23:46:51
*/
function detectBrowser(){
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")!=-1){
return "Opera";
}else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1){
return "MSIE";
}else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Navigator")!=-1){
return "Netscape";
}else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1){
return "Firefox";
}else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari")!=-1){
return "Safari";
}
}
Is there a resource on the internet to tell me which javascript can
work with which browser.
For instance, can I use style.color with all browsers - that kind of
thing.
I'm building the "Contact Us" section of my .mobi site (xhtml and
html).Is there any way to create an e-mail form that use the mini-browser
built-in mailer? (Perhaps a javascript code to add ?)
I have seen this employed somewhere else, but for the life of me cannot remember how it was done. I need to write a javascript that will call a desired CSS file based on the user's browser.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a site that will use technologies like JavaScript and AJAX. I want the site to be functional for people that has older browsers or JavaScript turned off so for this I need to find out if the user's browser is supporting JavaScript and AJAX.
How can I check this in an easy and simple way? I.e the user enters my website with JavaScript turned off at the moment. And then he turns it on and reloads the page. I would like to catch that he has turned JavaScript on. The same goes with AJAX (although there is no off/on setting for AJAX).
The following code is working fine in firefox n not working in IE8... I get the Object Expected Error when the code hits the if(GBrowserIsCompatible())..... line in the javascript code. Clear cache and browser history does not work. Does anyone have a resolution for this?
