View 7 RepliesOne friend asked me this question. He know vb, vba and some vb.net. Now he wants to do some scripting. The language he wants to learn is vbscritpt. I know there are a limited number of browsers support client-side vbscript, but don't know exactly which one, and how much market share they cover.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Hyperlink within a String like below:
sSql = "SELECT DISTINCT " + "'Action' = '<center><a
href='+char(34)+'ChangeRequest.aspx?ID='+cast(Chan geRequest.ChangeRequest_ID
as nvarchar) +CHAR(34)+'>Open</a></center>',"
I want to invoke a Client side javascript function and pass the value
of the ID. How can I accomplish this such when a user clicks "Open" he
goes to a new window with the same ID.
I tried this but it does not work:
On Server side:
sSql = "SELECT DISTINCT " + "'Action' = '<center><a href= 'javascript:
NewWindow('+cast(ChangeRequest.ChangeRequest_ID as nvarchar)+
CHAR(34)+)'>Open</a></center>',"
On Client side:
function NewWindow(myID)
{
window.open("ChangeRequest.aspx?ID="+myID,"WindowName","width=500,height=600");
}
</script>
Provided an interface to a search engine in which the onchange event in
a select list element generates between 7 and 13 additional elements
depending on the option chosen.
Here's what the customer *now* wants to do:
Generate between 200 and 350 elements. Furthermore, the logic is going
to be more complex.
I would be happy to make that happen, however here's my concern: I'm
already doing this from the server side, using CGI. I wonder what is
going to happen when we put that degree of "work" on the client browser.
I would welcome comments, caveats, or pointers to documentation and
discussions on this subject.
I would like to write a little program to read data in a MySQL database.
What do I need?
Is there a specific "JavaScript Include" to make this work? Do you have examples or site links to help me?
I'm building some client side JavaScript applications, one of these is a missing piece puzzle. There is one bug that I am aware of, where one piece may move over another, but this doesn't happen untill you have been playing for ages.

I'd like to see and use a javascript to resize an image.
I've creating a site and I'd like that only this image will be resizable automatically based on resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, ecc...)...
I have a few values and variables that I want to post to a server
(without using a SUBMIT button). Is there a way to post data from
within javascript - do sockets or connections have to be open for this
to work?
I am developing an ASP.NET (C#) application and need some help. I wish
to call a server-side function (in the code-behind "file.aspx.cs") upon
a user clicking on the "X" to close the browser window. Is there a way
to postback and call a server-side function when this happens? I am
aware of the browser's native "onunload" event, but am not certain that
what I'm looking for is actually possible.
I moved over client side javascript code from an asp.net 1.1 project to
an asp.net 2.0 project. When I view the web page, I get all these "is null or is not object" javascript errors.
Is there something that I am missing? Is WebResource.axd the issue?
How can I, for example, retrive data from Profile object (or what so
ever) to some variable declared in javascript tag on client side?
For example, let's say I have this code in Some_Page.aspx:
....
Profile.Name = "Some Name";
....
And I have some variable in java script tag:
var someVariable;
How can I get this "Some Name" from Profile.Name to someVariable?
Is there any way at all I can get a user's login name from within
JavaScript on Unix/Linux with Mozilla browser. If not, how about the
home directory? I know there are *usually* variables accessible via
navigator.preferences() that contain the info, but I have found none
that can *always* be expected to exist.
I am building a client-side and server-side solution and want to use JSON through Ajax in both directions. I have ASP or JavaScript server-side, though Microsoft's support of server side JavaScript seems nil, so I am reluctantly conceeding to use ASP. I'd appreciate suggestions on available solutions to encode/decode JSON on the server-side (ASP or JavaScript). I don't plan to load jQuery server-side so that rules out plug-ins. I'd also like to know what is the latest client-side encode/decode for JSON. Is it built in jQuery or a plug-in? In both server and client, decoding JSON securely is key, so using eval () to decode is out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developing a web form using python cgi which has two list boxes. On selecting a value from the listbox1, the list box 2 should get auto populated with appropriate values (which are taken from the DB). I have written a javascript function to get the selected value from the list box1. But I am struck with passing the values from the javascript to the python function written in server side in which I have written the DB related stuffs.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the server side I have a php generated session parameter.
I need to pass it to javascript on the client side page.
I saw on the web the following solution code...
I tried it but it did not work.
I have the following PHP code, which uses server-side validation, which works fine. It the user leaves the text field empty it stores an error in a session array which is outputted on the page where the $_GET['id'] variable came from. I also implemented a snippet of javascript code that just checks to see if the cell is empty and throws up alert box. The problem is that both the javascript code and php error validation are both running when I click submit. The PHP code should be a backup to the javascript code in case the user has javascript turned off. The client-side validation should be the default. Not sure if this change should be made in my PHP Code or Javascript Code.
PHP CODE:
session_start();
require_once("../Modules/Connection_Functions.php");[code].....
I have a web form that has a checkbox on it and a textbox associated
with it. I want the textbox to be displayed when the checkbox is checked
and I want this to happen on the client-side instead of posting back to
the server. The checkbox is a server control (asp:checkbox...). I can
write some codebehind that will display an alert message upon checking
the box that looks something like this...
Page_Load...
Dim s As String
Dim scriptString As New System.Text.StringBuilder
chkExpDate.Attributes.Add("onclick", "alertmsg()")
scriptString.Append("<script language=JavaScript> function alertmsg()
{")
scriptString.Append("alert('hi'); }<")
scriptstring.Append("/" + "script>"
s = scriptstring.ToString()
Page.RegisterStartupScript("startup", s)
End Sub
I used this as a test to make sure the server control was running the
script. But, when I change the script to assess the value of the server
control checkbox such as checked = true, I get errors and if I just try
to display the asp:textbox, it doesn't work either.
I had a import function which allow for user import data from excel file. The number of row was dynamic, mean that user may import hundred or data or may thousand of line.
should i perform client side or server side validate?
the problem i faced was if the import thousand of line, i need display out thousand of text (multiple by 6, cause 1 got 6 fields)
the take a lot of time to loading and cause browser "hang" (response slow)
any solution for me?
I have the following client-side Content Management System VBscript which works great, now I'm looking at getting it to work server side so that I can update using online login rather than offline and having to upload files. To be honest, I have no idea where to begin with this,

I am trying to write a string variable containing XML in the form of text into an iframe such that it shows up as formatted XML with the expand(+) and collapse (-) options that default in IE when opening an XML file.
The first thing I tried is writing the string to a file with .xml extension and setting the iFrame src to that file. This works well normally, however in this case, the file does not get created where I want to due to some security restrictions in IE which I cannot edit as I dont have admin rights.
Secondly I tried appending the string as innerHTML to that iframe but only the content within the XML tags without any formatting shows up which is not intended.
Thirdly I cannot use any server side scripting as this is a very controlled environment and I am not allowed to host servers or edit server scripts at will. This is totally out of question, so I guess Ajax or calling a costom defined web service wont help.
At best I can say, I am limited to HTML, Javascript and vbScript.
I am receiving the string as a responseText from an ajax request which is consuming a web service. If I use responseXML, it doesn't work.
The solution I am looking at is to either display it as formatted XML in an iFrame or to just throw it into a textarea which I am already doing and simultaneously write it to an XML file or do both. If not automatically, atleast have the user press a button and do it.
In my html page i've to show a grid with some data retrieved from an xml file ... i need to this beacuse i've to use online, on a webserver and offline
with all files on a usb key, cd, etc ...
which is the best way to accomplish this?
I suppose a solution it could be via javascript:
-locally open the xml file that contains the data e then render then grid. Now i wornder about the best way to do this ... i've read about xsl transofrmation and so on ... if it's possible i'h to achieve this with a cross-browser solution!
Is it possible to add a js function to a loaded web page on the client side?
E.g. IE is viewing google, can I add a javascript function to that instance
of IE viewing google? I am trying to hook browser events such as button
clicks and get information such as edit field text.
I have a table that changes its cell (input text) colors when their contents
have changed (actually on keypress) and shows a couple of buttons
automatically, UDPATE and CANCEL. This works partially, though detecting
enter and escape doesn't seem to work, or parhaps calling the button click
events directly doesn't (see below).
In addition to getting the ENTER and ESC keypresses to fire their
appropriate button clicks, I need to be able to collect information on which
cells have changed, so on the page loading again I can read this
information, perhaps from a hidden field, to use to update a database
server-side.
<script language=javascript>
function GirdTextKeyPress(txtID, btnsContainerlID, btnUpdateID, btnCancelID)
{
var txt = document.getElementById(txtID);
txt.className = 'GridChanged'
var bc = document.getElementById(btnsContainerlID);
bc.style.display = 'inline'
var btnUpdate = document.getElementById(btnsContainerlID);
if (event.keyCode == 13)
{
event.returnValue=false;
event.cancelBubble = true;
btnUpdate.click();
}
var btnCancel = document.getElementById(btnCancelID)
if (event.keyCode == 61)
{
event.returnValue=false;
event.cancelBubble = true;
btnCancel.click();
}
}
</script>
<style>
Input.Grid
{
border-style:none;
}
Input.GridChanged
{
background-Color:Yellow
}
</style>
I have several xml files and a common stylesheet on the server. In my
html I have a sidebar of links. For each link I fire an onClick event
that triggers an xml load and transform with the output displayed in a
small popup. Everything works great for one click. My issue is that in
Firefox, each subsequent click concatenates the results to the previous
tranformed results. How can i start fresh each time. I've tried
resetting all variables involved but the problem won't go away. This
works fine in IE by the way. Does anyone have an idea on what the issue
could be?
