Calling An External Script By Creating A Script Object In The DOM
Sep 22, 2007
My site has a widget that runs by calling an external script on a server outside my control. Normally this runs within a div as the page loads and the widget is displayed within the div.
What I am trying to do is call the script AFTER the page loads rather than while it loads. To do this, I am adding the script to the DOM (in the div I want, not to the head) on window.onload. An alert shows that the script is being created in the div.
The problem is that the script does not appear to fire in IE6 and IE7. In Firefox it runs, but rather than adding the widget to the div, it creates a new page (everything else on the page is lost).
I have made a test page to show the problem, as well as another page showing how the widget normally loads when the called while the page is loading. Code:

We had a javascript calling a Cold Fusion page (.cfm) and it was working for
2 years. Suddenly yesterday or today its decided it doesn't want to work
anymore. I'm picking up somebody elses code I don't know all of the rules
here.
All of the examples I've found really want .JS files if called with a script
tag, example below.
<script src="http://www.website.com/javascripts/xxx.js">
</script>
Question - is this a hard rule or can you call a file with any extention?

I am rewriting a website to remove javascript that is repeated on every page.
There is a header, a menubar and a marquee.
I have placed the code for the header and the menubar in external .js files using document.writes. No problem.
But when I created an external .js for the marquee in the same way it does not work!
Both menubar and marquee use functions from a .js file (runtime.js) that was originally in the website, I still call it as it always was and it works fine for menubar but not marquee.
menubar.js uses runtime.js for mouseover, mouseoff functions. Code:

I have a question related to calling external JS files.
I have the following code in a .JS file:
document.writeln('<a href="http://www.xyz.com" TARGET="_BLANK" TITLE="For an online directory of distance graduate programs, click here!"> Click here!</a>');
It works perfectly...
I would like to add a mouseover command to it, i.e.:
onMouseOver="window.status='Click here now to visit Education.com!'return true" OnMouseOut="window.status=''return true"
I've used the correct slashes in the right places. However, it doesn't work; probably because I'm trying to place Javascript within Javascript. How can I place the onMouseOver command in the code at the top of this page?

I know that you can call a php script using javascript. For example:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.php"></script>
I need to call an external script from within a javascript function.
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function rotateimages(){

On my site I'm using an external (big) javascript file, in this external file there is a function with the following line in it:
function showslide(){
return(currentSlide);
}
In my main html file the external javascript file is loaded within the head section. This external file does a lot of other stuff besides returning a number.Somewhere in my html file I need to call the showslide function. I tried doing that with this:
<script language ="Javascript" src="upload/3weg_slider.js">
document.write(showslide());
</script>
But it doesn't return anything, when I place an alert line within the function it doesn't show up either.

Having very minimal knowledge of JavaScript, I am curious if there is a difference between external JS and JS inserted into the head of the HTML file?
I chopped out some JS for a menu from the HEAD of an XHTML document and put it an external JS called menu.js. The script follows. Code:

This is the first time i'm really using javascript objects (well the first time i've written my own one) so the problem is probably a very simple one...
I've got this:
Code:
When i change the country from the dropdown box i get an error "hometown.setCities is not a function" but the thing is that i can call this in other ways eg from the address bar (javascript:hometown.setCities()) and it works perfectly.

I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how to get my targeting working in IE. Let's say I have a <div id="test"> </div> with some form information in between. I use xmlhttpreq to process but I want the information after processing to appear inside the test div. I have it working perfectly with firefox but for the life of me I just can't get it to work with IE. I can only ouput to another DOM object.innerHTML and not the original.

Trying to figure out what was happening in a snippet in the jQuery docs. The snippet I refer to is here , documenting event objects.
The code:
Has me a tad confused. I know that e is an event object that calls keydown event for keycode 64 but what I am unsure of is how it is being triggered. There is no context to it, if you use .trigger() that way is the event called upon the loading of the object? If not when is .trigger() being called?

I'm trying to make a quick and dirty mp3 player that plays whatever mp3 is in the URL, for example [url] would open the SWF mp3 player (I chose this one for its simplicity[url]) and play that song. However, nothing I've tried works. Could someone take a look at my code ? Please note that downloading the mp3 through newwindow() works perfectly.

Here's an example of the returned json which I'm trying to parse back into a js object:
{"name":"John"}
After setting that string to a js variable called modelJson, here's my code trying to convert it:
var dictModelList = $.parseJSON(modelJson);
then I test to see if it's null or not and it definitely shows null when this alert pops:
alert("dictYearList: " + dictModelList);

I have a Flash movie on a web page and I want to send parameters to it with JavaScript to have it go to a selected frame. The AS3 code receives its information via an ExternalInterface API. The following code parses the URL argument (?page=x) and I want to send the value (x) to Flash. Unfortunately, when creating the objMovie variable, it is always undefined, therefore getFlashMovie is undefined and Flash never receives the callback. Thinking that it was because the flash movie is not loaded yet, I created a button to call callToActionscript, and when I click the button, I get the same error.
(getFlashMovie("myFlashMovie") is undefined)
Also,
if (params)
always returns true, whether there are parameters or not. I don't understand that, either.
The code follows:
<script >
$(document).ready(function() {
var params=getQueryParameters();
if(params) {
callToActionscript(params[0]);
}});
function getFlashMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
var objMovie = (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
alert(objMovie); //Always return undefined
return objMovie;
} function callToActionscript(page) {
var myMovie=getFlashMovie("myFlashMovie").sentToActionscript(page);
} function getQueryParameters() {
var query = window.location.href.split('?')[1];
//query won't be set if ? isn't in the URL
if(!query) {
return { };
} else{
var param = query.split('=');
} return param[1];
}
</script>

I am using this Browser Plugin call: world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', ''); in the middle of my page, where I want to load this object. (It is a 3d rendering modul Viewpoint Player)
Now I want to add a browser check, as this plugin runs only in IE. When I dedect that the page is loaded with IE, I am writing via Jquery a class name into my body tag.
I thought, it would work if I do the following:
if($('body').attr('class').length > 1){
world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', '');
}
But for some reason, the if fails, as it seem that the plugin is called earlier than the jquery browser check, so the class name is not set at this point.
Then I thought, making a function arround and call it onLoad within the body tag.
Which has the disatvantage that the MTS Plugin is loading at the worng place on the page.
What I want, is that the call to the object "world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', '');"
is only at a trie condition at the place where it should be...

I am creating a game in JavaScript!
It is going to be a clone of the game ChuChu Rocket! that I used to play on the Dreamcast.
The game is set up so that the levels sit inside a nested array of objects, like your typical JSON string. So that within levels[] there are objects with level names, an array of moveable items, an array of arrows you can place, etc.
I have set it up so that when the level is loaded in to the DOM, it also duplicates a part of the object, the part responsible for the positioning of the moveable items on screen so that when they are animated, and if there is a fail scenario (cat eats mouse, cat gets to rocket before mouse) you should be able to reset and it remembers your coordinates.
From what I have learned in my years of studying and using JavaScript, the following should always hold true: a=1; b=a; b++; // b would become 2, a would stay as 1 (they are separate variables)
I seem to have found an exception to this rule.
When creating a level, I duplicate the part of my object called o.chuchu and I call it o.chuchuMoving
If I make a change to anything in o.chuchuMoving, it also changes o.chuchu.
o.chuchu and o.chuchuMoving are arrays within the object. Formatted like this: [0,0,1],[1,0,1],[2,0,1],[3,0,1] ... etc
If I tell my object the following: o.chuchuMoving[0][0]=1... then o.chuchu[0][0] also becomes 1.

I have a script for a radio player that I'm working on using Windows Media Player. Before I was using the safe WMP 6.4 object model but because of feature requests I've had to include support for more recent WMPs.
I have a javascript class that wraps the versions and depending on which version is being used it calls different methods. I was wondering if there was a way to assign the events of WMP to functions in javascript, but without using <script for=WMP event=blah> type tags. Code:

Is there a way to create a DOM document object to hold the contents of
an external html?
I have two pages:
content.html contains some content.
index.html would like to access the contents of a particular <div> with
an id of "important" within content.html.
how would I do this? I know I can hack around and load the
content.html in an iframe embedded in index.html. Then, I can make the
iframe not visible....
