I currently have a site which uses cookies, the problem is that I want it to detect if the browser being used has cookies enabled. I know you can accomplish this by setting a cookie in JavaScript and testing for it (i don't know how to do it, though), *BUT* I need the script to be compliant with all (or at least most) browsers. By this I mean, Mozilla, Firebird, Opera, IE, Netscape, and anything else you can think of.
View 2 RepliesI'm going to make an attempt at coding a nice tree menu that is decent with browser support.
I want the tree to be displayed on all browsers (well, within a decent range). Of course, on older browsers, the menu won't be as functional.
Now, I'm going to be combining the javascript with a server-side language (asp.NET) and I'll be able to do some basic browser detection on the server.
But, I read about javascript object detection and am wondering how well that works exactly.
Like, what if a browser that doesn't support objects period tries to run some object detection code? Also, which browsers support user defined objects?
See, I'm thinking of breaking down the script in 3 categories. Browsers that won't get any javascript... these would be the browsers that don't support object detection, browsers with basic javascript... with these I would be able to code my own object and I would test for different features. And then there would be the browsers that can run it all.
So, basically, my question is what browsers support what features and how should I break down my code between them? A long time ago (back in the Netscape 4 / IE4 days) I did some javascripting, but since then I haven't really done any. I remember that NS4 didn't support div tags but supported layers... anyway, it got really messy.
Can I make a list of hyperlinks that users can customize and save as a cookie by clicking a button and automatically retrieve the cookie so it remembers their list next time? This is kind of what I want to do:
[Code]...
I am making a sort of text based game (Just a hobby) I like to do that sort of thing. So, anyway, considering all I can really do is code HTML, and very, very light javascript, I kinda need some help.
I basicly know how to do everything except affect & Use the cookies. So what I need to do with them is to
#1.) Have a code to change the cookie number, say... on the click of a button.
#2.) Have a code where it only displays certain text if the cookie is a certain number.
I cant code JS and have no idea how hard/easy this is.
If it is insanely hard & needs a master coder, just tell me and ill take it off. I dont want to be wasting anyones time.
I have an embedded system with a web interface. One of the web pages
has a small JavaScript program that, when run on IE6, always displays
the message that cookies need to be enabled:
if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1)
{
document.cookie = 'asm_session=0'
if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1)
{
document.write("Advanced System Management access requires
cookies to be enabled."+'<br><br>');
}
}
This problem only occurs with IE6, not Mozilla. It also only happens
on some of the embedded systems, but this problem exists for everyone
running IE6.
The problem isn't limited to the Javascript code, either. On another
web page from this embedded system, a cookie is set the normal way,
via the HTTP header. This cookie is also rejected.
When I display any page that attempts to set a cookie, IE6 displays
the blocked icon and says that cookies on that URL are blocked.
However, I have set all privacy and cookie options to their most
permissive. I've spent the past hour changing every option I can find
that's even remotely related to cookies and privacy, and nothing
changes. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
In my web application we are able to store large data in the browser
cookie keeping in mind the limit of 300 cookies per cookie file, 20
keys per cookie per domain and 4KB max size of each cookie. We are
unable to retreive this large amount of data immediately after storing
through document.cookie in IE browser (The same works fine in
Netscape).
Is there any limit on the size of the data that can be retreived using
document.cookie in IE browser? Could you please suggest a solution to
this problem I am facing.
I am trying to set a cookie in my cookie directory but this is not working.
document.cookie = "username=John;
expires=15/02/2015 00:00:00";
I have a page with a script that works only in IE and as I heard from
feedbacks it doesn't run under IE on Mac.
I have browser type redirect script for that page that seems to be
working fine except it doesn't detect the OS ( IE on Mac just gives
blank page). Can someone add to the code that I would give me one page
for IE on Windows and another one for all others? Code:
I have on different form elements an onChange routine.
Now I was wondering how I can see which element fired the routine. Can I
write something like "if (self.name=='elementA')"?
I'm using the code below for the "launch page" to open a JS window and know when it has been closed, and than execute some other code that should be run after the pop-up closes.
javascript Code:
This works, and does exactly what I want. Do any of you JS experts see any reason for concern? Anything that makes it suboptimal?
So I need script, which will detect users browser, and if browser will be IE, then show some link in content, if browser is FireFox or Opera, then hide that link. Link looks like:
<tr>
<td align='center' valign='top'><a href='/' target='_blank'>link</a></td>
</tr>
I would like to have my page display the IP address of the user when the page loads. I have heard of the IP detection scripts when using the
"var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->" attribute to make a window or alert popup and display the IP of the user, and I have also come some scripts that display the IP in the status bar. However, I want the current IP adress to be shown on the page itself, part of the <Body>.
function doDOMStuff() {
var el = document.getElementById('myElId');
// object detection
if(!document.getElementById) return false;
//or
if(!document.getElementById) return;
// doStuff
}
Is there a simple object detection to sniff for IE 6 only ( not IE 5.5 or lower ) ?

I know that in netscape you can use navigator.plugins so I was hoping there was something as easy as this.
I have some html code i would like to be printed to the page only if the
browser has javascript enabled. I have tried to use document.writeln()
but the string i want to print bot contains some ' and " in it. I don't
know how to set the delimiters of the string that is passed as argument
so that i don't get an error in the page.
I've have got this script, the only thing I want to be changed is the first part. It has to detect IE version 6 instead of just "Microsoft Internet Explorer". Can somebody help me out? I tried "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6" but that doesn't work.

How to detect that user started to scroll the page ? Separately vertical and
horizontal scroll. Is it possible ?
We have a database application that runs in a popup Internet Explorer
application window. The reason for this is to isolate the casual user
from the address bar and the typical IE navigation buttons.
The application has a browser test page that displays an error message
when a popup blocker is found and opens a popup page stating the test
was successfull if there is no popup blocker.
Is there a reliable method (preferably javascript) for detecting the
major popup blockers (SP2, AOL, Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc.)? We currently
have a temporary solution in place which works OK but we would like to
have a better solution.
We have already reasearched this on the net, as well as spent a few
hours trying different options.
The application is designed to run on MSIE only so the solution can be
Explorer specific.
I'd like to detect the shift key when a button is "clicked" in
Firefox/Mozilla. If the button is clicked with the mouse, no problem.
However, if the onclick event is keyboard originated, then my method is
not working. Same thing for SELECT elements.
The simple web page below shows the issue. Click with the mouse while
holding down the shift key, and the Shift key's status registers.
However, use Shift+Alt+o, or either (while the button has focus)
Shift+Space or Shift+Enter to kick off the onClick event and the shift
key is not detected. Works fine with IE 6 on my Win XP Pro. Code:
I want to know the height of the viewable portion of a page (minus scrollbar)
in Opera and Mozilla.
For Opera, I could use document.body.clientHeight. Unfortunately, this won't
work in Mozilla because Mozilla also subtracts the sizes of the top and bottom
margins.
For Mozilla, I could use document.documentElement.clientHeight.
Unfortunately, this won't work in Opera because Opera returns the height of
the entire page, not just the viewable portion.
So I have two options:
1) Use browser detection code to determine if the user is running Opera or
Mozilla, and then use the appropriate clientHeight code.
2) Use window.innerHeight. This is supported by both Opera and Mozilla,
however it returns the height of the viewable portion of the page *including*
the scrollbar. Is there any way to determine the width of a scrollbar? If
not, then I would have to make an assumption and subtract the hardcoded width
of the scrollbar from window.innerHeight... but only if the scrollbar is
present, is there a way to determine that?
Well after playing around a little I have created a solution that works although it appears a little chunky. The problem was finding the browser size to use the width as a variable for size conditional aspects to a site. Code:

View 11 Replies View RelatedSo I temporarily gave up on my breakout game (code) due to getting frustrated and a short trip, but it's time to finish it. After all, this is the only thing that's left to fix/do. The ball does not bounce correctly off the sides (the code in the checkBlocks function). It only/always seems that the first if statement evaluates to true, and when it gets to the second if statement, it doesn't evaluate to true because the other one already reversed the ball's direction. So how can I correctly determine where the ball came from?
Also, sometimes the ball gets stuck. For example, if you happen to hit the ball with the paddle in the bottom left corner, the ball will bounce back and forth along the left side of the board. I'm not sure how to fix this either.
