Say x in a XML Http Request Object ... meaning it's either XMLHttpRequest (firefox) or ActiveXObject (IE)
This line of code works in firefox...
x.someProp = "someValue";
alert(x.someProp);
But in IE I get "Object doesn't support this property or method" I need to place a custom property on the object. Is there any way I can do that in IE?
I've already tried ActiveXObject.prototype.someProp = "";
how to add extra properties to html elements as I was storing data in html attributes. After looking at some others code including Raphael and this addEvent code. [URL] They seem to treat objects just like an array. obj[property] = value; This would have been extremely helpful to know previously as I have needed to be able to include variables in property names - but have resorted to making the whole thing a string and calling exec() on it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know that I can read/write custom properties of an object by using
the following:
Setting:
document.all['Control'].customProp = "this";
Getting:
document.all['Control'].customProp;
Is there a way I can run code when this custom property is set. Or
perhaps there is a way to create a custom method?
Example:
<span id="MySpan"><input type="text"></span>
I'd the property:
document.all['MySpan'].enabled = true;
To automatically do this:
document.all['MySpan'].controls[0].disabled = !thevalue;
OR the method
document.all['MySpan'].enable();
To do this:
document.all['MySpan'].disabled = false;
I try to associate DOM nodes with other objects. Assigning custom
properties to DOM nodes works in Firefox and Safari. It also works with
HTML nodes in IE6. However, it appears not to work with XML nodes that
are part of trees returned by XMLHttpRequest. How can I work around this
limitation? For XML nodes, I need to be able to associate at most one
object with each node.
The syntax I am using is
node.customproperty = value
I've been trying to create a 'loading page' for a from. When a user submitts a form, a loading animation is displayed on the page. Then I have javascript connecting to a url on my server that generates a dynamic file and returns it from memory. My problem is that I can display the text from this new file, but what I want to do is prompt the user to save the file locally. Is there a way to make this sort of conversion in javascript?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a method for displaying an object's properties:
As long as renderfunction = false, the object is fine coming out of this function.
However, if I change renderfunction to true, all my properties become undefined. Why isn't this working as I expect it to?
alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
gives a system error number: -1072896658
I have declared the object using:
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
It works with IE version 6.0.2600 but not with IE version 6.0.2800
Couldnt find wat tis error code 1072896658.
I'm just starting to try out "Ajax" web programming and I've got a question.
AJAX is fairly straightforward. Javascript creates an XMLHttp object and
then uses that to generate a hidden webpage with your results.
What I'd like to know is, how can I retrieve multiple values from an XMLHttp
request?For example, if my request generated an SQL query that returned a
Name, Address and PhoneNumber, could I get those values directly instead of
parsing them out of the ResponseText?
This is my current handler:
function showResult(pge) {
var url="getResult.asp?sid=" + Math.random() + "&q=" + pge
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject(stateChanged)
xmlHttp.open("GET", url , true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
}
function stateChanged() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete") {
//Complete, so show results.
document.getElementById("myResult").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
//How to get mulitple values here?
}
}
Ive been banging my head on the wall for hours with this one, hopefully
someone will know what Im doing wrong here :
The Goal:
I have an xml file that is generated on the fly via JSP which I want to
load into a Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object and manipulate via
javascript on the client side. Data is retreived from the server at the
request of the javascript without having to reload the page.
The Problem:
For the JSP to dynamically output xml, the file must have the extension
JSP, which is set to the mime type of dynamo-internal/html on the
server side (as we are using ATG Dynamo). But the javascript on the
client side will not retrieve anything unless the file extension is
..xml (or the mime type is recognized as text/xml). So the only way I
can get it to work is to change the extension to .xml, which then of
course amkes it so that the server will not process any of the JSP
code.
Ive tried to override the mime type within the javascript, using the
setRequestHeader method after opening the file, but no luck. A call to
alert the value of req.responseXML.xml after the send() turns up empty.
Ive only gotten it to work if I use a static xml file in palce of the
jsp. Sample of the javascript code is below:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// branch for native XMLHttpRequest object - THIS WORKS
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.overrideMimeType("text/xml");
req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
req.open("GET", "models.jsp?cId=300006&mId=TAC24", true);
req.send(null);
alert(req.responseXML.xml); //this gives me the resulting xml file
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
// branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version - NOT WORKING
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
req.open("GET", "models.jsp?cId=300006&mId=TAC24", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml");
req.send();
alert(req.responseXML.xml); //this gives me nothing
}
}
In looking at the following example the Microsoft gives (bottom of
page):
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...B;EN-US;Q290591
I just dont see what could be going wrong here.
I should note that I successfully got the script to work using the
XMLHttpRequest object and the overrideMimeType() method. This works
with FireFox and I think some Mozilla clients, but not with the all
important IE5, which instead uses the XMLHTTP ActiveX control.=
I'm trying to get the properties for the following objects:
0: [object Object]
1: [object Object]
2: [object Object]
3: [object Object]
This was generated by using the following code:
[Code]...
Since object names can't simply be a number ie(this.oProducts.Product.0), how can I access the object properties in the list above?
I have the following question.
In my code, Ifirstdeclare a GLOBAL property to store all my global var's in, (with already some properties)[code]...
Does the second block of code overrides the first GLOBAL object? Is there a way to push more properties to an existing object using the same pattern?
i'd like to know objects properties and/or methods.
saying i do have an object "o" being part of the dom (a div or an ul...)
how could i list (introspection) all the properties and methods attached
to this object ?
i know it is possible in javascript but don't remeber how to ...
Do many programmers remember most of the object properties and methods or do they use IDE or references to find those specific objects. I'm starting to learn Javascript and seeing all the different type of objects available can be depressing. :(
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am fairly familiar with the concept of Objects and their properties and methods, but javascript being object based as opposed to object oriented has me stumped on how to access an object's properties from an onclick event handler created for another object created within the original object.
In the example below, I have a constructor function called anyObj. to which I pass an object reference to an element.
anyObj has 3 properties and one function increaseWidth()
increaseWidth() creates a new button with an onclick event handler and this is where I have a problem.
The onclick function needs to increase the value of anyObj's this.width property. I originally had a line this.width += 10; in the onclick but quickly realised why this wasn't working because the this in the onclick function refers to the new button object and not the this.width property of anyObj.
The workaround I have used, and it works, is to make a copy of all the this.xxxxx properties. eg. width = this.width; and use the width variable in the onclick as you can see below. This "workaround" works fine but doesn't feel ideal to me.
So is there a better way to access the anyObj()'s properties from within the onclick function than the way I have done it? Obviously I would prefer to not have to make copies of all the anyObj() properties like I have to make them accessible to the onclick function.
function anyObj(divObj){
this.elem = divObj;
this.width = 50;
this.height = 50;

I've created an object and within this object, I've added an eventlistener. But the problem now is that after addEventListener is being called to access a callback function, the callback function is not able to access the properties within its own class. Code:

Well, I've been working with JS for three years and have a great experience here. But! I still have no really acceptable answer to the following
question:
What is the principle difference between declaring methods/properties
in the constructor function body and via prototypes.
Are there any real GURUs? Let's discuss the issue.
In JavaScript 1.5, objects can use special getter and setter functions
[1] for properties. However, these only seem to be implemented in Gecko
and, AFAICT, don't seem to be part of ECMAScript.
Is there an alternative syntax I can use that is standardised in
ECMAScript and also (preferably) interoperably implemented in several
browsers? Or, do I have to use ordinary getFoo() and setFoo() functions. Code:
I want to programmatically list all properties of JS object from C++ code (I am using Mozilla's JSAPI). I know I can go up the prototype chain with JS_GetPrototype, then enumerate each object's own properties with JS_Enumerate.

I've got an image gallery in which users can navigate between the next and previous image by clicking on the right or left half respectively of the current image. When the mouse is over the left half an arrow pointing to the left is shown on the image and when on the right an arrow to the right. It works fine if i use inline javascript but i'm trying to achieve the same effect unobtrusively and with an addEvent function. The onmouseover part works fine but from the function that fires on the onmouseout event i get the following error in Firefox and the arrow is not hidden:

Subject line would seem to say it all:
How does one trigger the execution of a method within an object or any
other code/function with the setting of an object property?
More elaboration for those who want it:
Suppose we have anObjectType, with a property .description, whose value
can be a string, and the value of .description actually describes the
structure of anObjectType as a string. (The details are not important
about how the structure is described, but if you want something concrete,
think of 'anObjectType' as a DOM Node of type NODE_ELEMENT, and
..description as the property .innerHTML.)
When an instance of anObjectType is created, the value of description is
created with the instance. Indeed, the value of description may not be
set with the construction of anObjectType, but it might be added to the
prototype of anObjectType.
But the property .description is not merely read-only. Fetching the value
of .description returns the string which describes the structure of the
object in a meaningful way.
When .description is set with a value of type string, the string is
checked to see if it properly describes a legally formed structured for
anObjectType, and the instance (and only that instance) of anObjectType is
completely re-built: it might possibly be destructed and then re-
constructed, or all properties (but not methods) which involve descendant
objects are changed to conform to the described structure.
The question is, the setting of a string value of the property
..description of object anObjectType does not automatically trigger a
method/methods (or an exception??) for doing something (such as
restructing the object) as a result of the setting of an object property.
This object was passed to my click event handler. Why are so many properties missing? The click event came from an <a> in a <li>, propagated down to the <ul> on which the handler was set.
If I click on the <ul>, the event object looks "normal".
