Browsers Not Supporting Document.documentElement.scrollLeft?
Sep 3, 2006
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 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 am able to get the page to scroll using something like this
$("html:not(:animated),body:not(:animated)").animate({ scrollTop: rw_X, scrollLeft: rw_Y},2000);
I was hoping to be able to target the animate element by using something like this
document.body Is this not possible? What are some targets that allow you to scroll the page (the position of the scroll bars)?

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.

My files are not hosted on a server using http. They come with many sound files to practice vocabulary. The problem is that IE8 does not give me the opportunity to load xml course info, I suspect it is because Microsoft might think IE is for network use only (funny they don't think that when MS Word is concerned). Everything works fine in opera and firefox but IE does not give me a documentElemet after loading the xml. Here is some code to reproduce:
Code:
<html>
<head>

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 a pop-up window system on my site that shows an absolutely-positioned div over the entire page as a "pop up" of sorts when someone clicks a link. I use this simple line of Javascript to disable page scrolling when a "pop up" box is opened by a user:
document.documentElement.style.overflow = document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
The problem is that when a user is scrolled down on a page and clicks a link to bring up one of my pop up boxes, when the overflow is set to 'hidden' to disable scrolling, the page "jolts" back up to the top (similar as to what would happen if someone clicked an <a> element with href="#" ). However, the links are not actually links, but span tags that are programmed with JS to trigger the scrollbar to be disabled when clicked, so that is not the culprit here. I've narrowed the problem down to that one line of code which I posted earlier. Apparently, setting the documentElement overflow style to 'hidden' scrolls the user to the top of the page automatically along with "disabling" the scroll bar on the page.
I am wondering if there is a way to prevent this jolting to the top of the page each time that JS code is triggered. I don't want users to have to scroll back down to where they were each time they open a pop up dialogue box on my site, as this would be detrimental for usability purposes.

Normally an SVG document is loaded/parsed/interpreted inside an HTML
document using an 'object' (or 'embed') element, although there are
supposedly other ways too. The problem is, the SVG document must be
static this way.
I want to use the DOM interface to build SVG dynamically inside an HTML
document. I am guessing I can build it inside HTML within an 'object' (or
maybe 'iframe'?) element.
My intentions/goals:
In Javascript, I construct an object 'embedSVG' which has properties and
methods for creating valid SVG elements and setting their attributes and
attribute values.
During construction, the SVG document is created with its root element.
During debugging in FF 2.0 (I'll work on an MSIE-compatible format later),
I am using the Mozilla DOM Inspector and comparing nodes when the
'object' element is loading a valid external SVG document, and when I am
appending the child representing the SVG document created by the DOM
functions.
However the child node (#document) does not specify 'svg' as the root
element, but instead 'HTML'. Something is not working.
Here is the relevant code in 'ScriptTest.html' which is the HTML in which
the SVG is supposed to be embedded. Below it is the relevant code for
'svglib.js' which is supposed to contain code for building the SVG
dynamically.
What this code is supposed to do is load the HTML page and execute the
anonymous script, and draw a navy blue-bordered yellow rectangle on a
blank page. This is similar to the example in the SVG 1.1 W3C
Recommendation on page 202 of the 719-page PDF.
I am getting an exception when embedSVG object placeInHTML() method is
called: NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR. I find in DOM Inspector in
spite of or after the exception that a document is placed as a child of
the object element, but it is HTML, with a default 'head', 'title',
'body' elements placed.
Where am I blowing it?

Determine what the previous page was that the user was viewing, even if the user arrived at my site by through the use of a browser function (history, location bar, refresh, etc.). Is this possible?
I'm not wuite sure how document.history functions - what degree of privacy is given to the user and to what extent can web pages get URLs from the user's history?

I am trying to make a function run if the mouse is moved over the document but when using the object onmousemove it seems to run the code even if the mouse is still over then document, how can I make it so if the mouse is over the document but isn't moving then don't run the code but once the mouse moves run the code? This is the code I made to handle the mouse move collections.
[Code]..
But with this code it runs even when the user doesn't move their mouse and the notification box pops up every second as the code seems to think a still mouse is a moving mouse.
I was thinking about having a run once system but that would mean if the mouse moves it runs once and then if the mouse moves again the code will not run as it has already ran before.

I want to switch a big function from a document.onkeydown = function to a document.onkeypress = function, or vice versa depeding on the type of browser.
However it is quite a big function so it's pretty much out of the question to have it appear in full twice.
Any ideas how to change the target event (onkeydown/onkeypress) without writing the whole function twice?

I have been searching for a way to trap changes done to the document object (mainly by the function document.write();).
Example of code that doesn't work:
function myFunction() {
ed.document.onchange = doFunction(document.body.innerHTML);
ed.document.open();
ed.document.write('Hello');
ed.document.close();
}
function do_function(body) {
alert(body);
}
It only fires when the page loads, not when I change the text. You are free to use any event that works, but i think onchange was the one to fit this problem. The alert will write the initialpage, but will never write the tekst 'Hello' that is the new change.
Any javagurus out there know a solution to pick up any fired events triggered by document.write();

I am trying to write a bunch of text onto a new document using document.write() and somehow need to format it to include line breaks.
For example:
Code JavaScript:
document.write(Line 1);
document.write(Line 2);
I have tried including and it does not work. I have also tried document.writeln() and that also does not work. From what I have found on the Internet, one (if not both) of those methods should have worked.

I have created a servlet that does nothing more than create a XML file.i have got some JQuery code that reloads the servlet to get the XML data.This works fine and i am able to load the data i want, the problem i have is that when the data is loaded to the jsp page it displays [object Document] in front of my output.
Code JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function() {[code]....
XML file only has one value, called row 1 with the data, "wow this is cool", but my output is: [object Document]

I have three files:
HTML file (default.htm)
Code:
<body>
THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY OLD DOG
<script type="text/javascript" src="testing.js"></script>
[Code]....
When I run the above files the original text on default.htm is wiped and replaced by the document.writeln text in test2.js. What I wanted to happen was for this text to be added to the default.htm page (and not wipe what was already there). I believe this is because the htm file has already parsed.
I know people say you should use innerHTML and not document.write or document.writeln. Unfortunately, I have no control over the contents of the first file (default.htm) or the third file (test2.js) but the content in test2.js will always be in either document.write or document.writeln format. So I cannot use innerHTML.
My problem is how can I (from within the second file, testing.js) ensure that the page is not parsed before the third file has finished.

I need to eliminate the document.write for this bit of code
copyright=new Date();
update=copyright.getFullYear();
document.write("Copyright © 2001-"+ update + " " );
var showtext = "Tecknetix";
var mailpart1 = "webmaster";
var mailpart2 = "tecknetix.com";
document.write("<a title='email tecknetix' class='hov' href=" + "mail" + "to:" + mailpart1 + "@" + mailpart2 + ">" + showtext + "</a><br />");
The reason is now I'm using <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" /> with xhmtl 1.1
Since I've changed the MIME type to application/xhtml+xml from text/html the document.write is invalid now.
Here is a page with a demo on it so you can see how they changed document.write("<link rel="stylesheet" ...") around.
http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2003/03/19/dive-into-xml.html
I think only the Moz1.4 supports application/xhtml+xml
You can see it on my 4 page site. http://www.tecknetix.com/
In IE6 you can read the copyright notice but in Mozilla you can't. But in you go to view > page info in Moz - you can see application/xhtml+xml as the type.
