I have a remote client that has a ridiculous latency over port 80, and we're looking to increase response time. Due to other factors, they do have a decent response time when sending email.
It's a long shot, but I was wondering. Is there any way to open a port other than 80 via browser using javascript?
Its a message system im putting together. I would like users to be able to have a friends list. I know the php to manage the friends list but i dont know the javascript to achieve my goal here.
I want them to be able to click the Friends List link and have the box pop up. Then have them able to click the persons name and have that persons id show up in the Mail To: Text Box in the first window. Anyone know how to go around doing this. I know its possible cause hotmail does it.
I'm trying to come up with a way within a client-side web page of uploading a couple files to a server-side PHP program without using a <form...>. I don't want to give up the page which happensafter the <form...> executes. Instead, I want to upload the files, then execute a <form...> for
another purpose.
- two websites, one on domain1 and the other on domain2
- domain1 opens a new window which is a javascript app from domain2
- domain1 needs to communicate with the javascript app on domain2
The problem occurs in that last step. Browsers don't allow script access
across domains for security reasons, rightly so. Nonetheless, I still
need to communicate with the application. I can reload the window
passing the necessary commands through the url, but this is slow because
the whole javascript app must reload.
Anyone have any ideas about a way around this limitation that would be
semi-efficient, at least more efficient than reloading the app? Signing
the script isn't an option for cost reasons. I have control over both
sites, so I can do anything that needs to be done.
I'm trying to send some form values via JS from one frame (a PHP application I control which creates form fields from database values) to another (a shopping cart on another site) - but I can't do this because normal scripts are barred from setting values on pages from other servers... unless the script is signed.
So, am I right that I HAVE to use a signed script to accomplish this goal? Are there lots of cross-platforms issues in getting extra privileges for signed scripts? (Does IE even recogize signatures the way NN does?)
I've never worked with signed scripts before - are they worth the hassle?
I've got an IFRAME called "gallery" and I want to communicate with the parent page that the IFRAME is sitting in.
The IFRAME contains a load of thumbnails - and I want to tell an IMG to change its SRC... so the image changes when you click on a thumbnail.
