Can Javascript POST Without Refresh?

Jul 20, 2005


I have a website that uses a custom built webserver to serve the pages.
(Please don't ask me why my boss had his own web server written). I am
displaying a log of information that is an unknown number of rows. This is
currently displayed in a table.

The table is generated by some code that we had to write (thank you custom
webserver) so that the webserver will parse HTML files and fill in the tags
we created with some data before returning that to the browser, the HTML
looks a lot like ASP or JSP using the <% %> tags to denote something to be
filled in.

Now all that works fine and dandy, but in order for this log of information
to show the latest stuff, the page needs to refresh and tell the server to
go get the list of log info and fill in the HTML with the info then return
it to the browser. All this happens pretty quick, but like any site, the
page blinks while it refreshes.

Now my boss wants that page to update without refreshing (the blink annoys
him apparently). At first I said that it couldn't be done, but he said that
he didn't believe me. Thus I am forced to ask you guys.

I know you can update fields like that using JavaScript. (I made a font tag
with an id and a JavaScript function resets the nodeValue. This changes the
text without refreshing the screen). But my problem now is that I need to
POST to the server to get the information without the page refreshing
(through JavaScript?). Is this even possible? I planned on getting the
data back and document.write() it all to the page.

Any ideas?

Refresh Page After A Post Call?

Mar 15, 2011

I have the following code:

$(function() {
$("#check_login").click(function() {
event.preventDefault();

[code]....

I'm basically checking a user login. If the login is successful I'd like to close the Fancybox. This part works fine. I'm using an iFrame from Fancybox. If I don't have this part:

parent.$.fancybox.close();

It will reload the index page in my iFrame. How can I refresh my other page from the iFrame?

POST With Javascript?

Oct 8, 2007

On my webpage I'm using a script that allows users to reorganize some elements in a list. Clicking the "save order" button calls the code below which goes to /fbedit.php?view=favs&order=[a comma-delimited list of numbers is here].

window.location = "/fbedit.php?view=favs&order=" + ToolMan.junkdrawer().serializeList(document.getElementById(id))
},

The problem is that there is too much data for it to be passed this way, so I need to use POST instead of GET. If someone could explain how I could redirect to this same page but pass that comma-delimited list via POST that would be great.

Getting GET Or POST Variables Using JavaScript

Jan 29, 2007

I have something that runs on a server with no PHP or any of those widgets.

A user submits a form with 6 fields. Clicks "Go". A page appears that displays what he just entered, with a form of his data in hidden fields, and a link with document.form.submit() that takes you to a CGI program. It must be 2 different page loads.

Is displaying what he entered in the form in the next page possible with JavaScript? If so, what are the JS variables that would let me access that data?

Remote Post To Another Server Using Javascript

Nov 23, 2005

I want to populate my client's webpage (Remote Server) automatically
through my Server and Database by having him just paste a javascript
on his webpage.

I have read up about Microsoft Remote Scripting but the documentation
states the following : "The server which you make remote scripting
calls must be the same server from which you requested the client page
containing the requests."

In my case , the client and server pages are on two seperate servers
which means that I cannot use MS Remote Scripting.Is there an alternate
approach in any scripting language ???

Any suggestions, tutorials , websites , code snippets will be
appreciated while i continue to research on this...

The URL data should be sent as POST and not GET..i.e the search

opened.

How To Pass Parameters In URL For Javascript Refresh?

Jul 23, 2005

I have an easy question, likely, that has me in a headspin. I have an
include file to a frames based site that basically forces frames on
the end user if they visit the site and hit a non-frames created
page...

Simply, it is:

if (parent != self)
self.parent.location.replace("/");

However, now I would like to force an inner frame to populate based on
what frame someone was redirected from the include (above). So, if I
visit http://domain/frame/innerframe_3.html, then I want to redirect
to the above, but pass in /frame/innerframe_3.html to be included as a
URL parameter for an inner frame to be populated.

When I modify this link to:

if (parent != self)
self.parent.location.replace("/index.php?redir=" & location.href);

Then, the replaced location doesn't seem to recognize the ?redir=
portion of the new location.

Is there a different way to do this? I can't use a META tag because I
want the TARGET to be _TOP, basically.

JavaScript Image Refresh In Mozilla And Opera

Sep 15, 2004

We've got a server-side page (status.php) that dynamically generates a GIF image. The displayed image depends on the value of a boolean field in a database. Just calling the page displays the current value of the boolean, calling it with a parameter switch (status.php?switch) flips the database value and generates a new image. We've included headers to prevent caching of the image by the browser.

Whenever our HTML page is displayed in the browser, we just include an image that shows the current status: img src='status.php'/

We want to allow the user to click the image, which then inverts the boolean status in the database: img src='status.php' onclick='this.src=status.php?switch;'/

This works great in Internet Explorer, but both Mozilla and Opera only allow to switch once. My idea of the problem is that those browsers think like this; after one click, the src is already 'status.php?switch', so changing the src again would be redundent in their eyes, so they won't do it.

We found a temporary solution by generating the current time as a parameter in the image URL: img src='status.php' onclick='this.src=status.php?switch+(new Date());'/
However, this is not a very elegant solution.

Does anyone know a proper solution to this? This means, forcing Mozilla and Opera to load an image using JavaScript, even though the URL of the image didn't change?

Refresh Parent From IFrame Makes Refresh Loop In FF Only?

Jan 2, 2009

I have this code in a page that appears in my iframe if requested from parent:

<script type="text/javascript">
parent.rrr();
</script>
The parent code is:
function rrr() {
javascript:location.reload(true);
}

So, the person clicks a link from the parent, it does a php process in a hidden iframe, which then tells the parent page to refresh. The only problem is that it puts Firefox in a constant loop of refreshing. IE and Chrome work fine. They refresh once and stop.

Though the src code opens the iframe like so: <iframe src="" style="display:none; height:1px;" name="hdplus" id="hdplus"></iframe> Firefox seems to refresh the page with the memory of the child page being in the iframe, constantly looping the child request to refresh the parent.

Why won't Firefox just accept that no page should load in the iframe, as stated in the code? I need to stop this loop, which means I need to get firefox to reset the iframe as it reloads the page.
