I'm trying to detect the browser in that little box but It's not working. in between the <div> tags I have this code
<script type="javascript">
var browser=navigator.appName
var browser_version=navigator.appVersion
var version=parseFloat(browser_version)
document.write("Detecting Browser..." + browser)
</script>I don't even think I'm going to user the browser version so don't worry about that but I can't get this to work. I think I have it right, I was looking at the tutorial on w3schools. Can anyone see a problem? Am I leaving something out?
Edit: oh, very sorry. It seems my tiny little mistake is that script type should be "text/javascript". But now that that is figured out It shows that I'm using Netscape when I'm actually using Firefox 0.o
If I perform a mousedown within a document, move the mouse outside the browser window, and then release the mouse button, the document.onmouseup event does not fire. Is there any way to detect a mouseup event outside the document?
Also, how can I get the relative coordinates of the cursor while it is outside the browser?
I'm curious if it is possible to detect the browsers default font and size? Most of the posts on this topic predate Windows XP, IE 5.5, Mozilla Firefox, et al.
I've searched up and down the DOM properties, looped through most objects and collections alerting properties and values, and I can't find anything. This leads me to believe it is not possible to detect the browsers default font settings.
I have a jquery-powered "start page" that checks your log in and if successfull it slides in a "menu" of new places to go. The problem is, if you click back from one of the new places, the original "start page" looks as if you never logged in. You have to reload the page. Not very intuitive and this website is for kids. Now I've tried setting form field values with server session variables, javascript variables, etc etc but they all get reset when you click back. I've tried the "onunload hack" which I don't fully understand, and then read a bit about the onhashchange event which is from what I gather only compatible with HTML5 browsers...is there no way to detect if the user is already logged in when they click the back button or am I not doing enough homework?
function doUnload() { if (window.event.clientX < 0 && window.event.clientY < 0) { alert("Window is closing..."); } }
I get window.event undefined by using var evt =window.event? event : e I get e undefined var evt =window.event? event : e if (evt.clientX < 0 && evt.clientY < 0){ alert(evt.clientX +"Window is closing..."); }
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to detect if a browser supports a specific URI scheme with javascript. So far the only close-but-wont-cut-it solution seems to be looping through navigator.plugins and check for plugins known to support these schemes, but that wont cut it (not maintainable, lacks perenity and have not found such a list). I have HTML anchor tags which use the geo [URL] and tel [URL] uri schemes. These are recognized by the iphone web browser (at least, tel I'm sure of) but not by the more general browsers.
If I click on any of these links in an nonsupporting browser of course, I get a nice browser alert box telling me the scheme isn't supported. But you cant trap that with javascript. I've tried fiddling around with window.navigator and even tried some iframe embedding magic to see if this would work, no success yet. What I want to do is detect I the scheme is supported and if not, prevent the links from a) appearing as links and b) be clickable. So far, I've been able to hack something out of firefox with this:
Is there an easy way to detect the local language setting of a client browser?
I would like to determine if the users browser is set to English, French, Italian or German language and display a message in the appropriate language but don't want to redirect user.
The following code is working fine in firefox n not working in IE8... I get the Object Expected Error when the code hits the if(GBrowserIsCompatible())..... line in the javascript code. Clear cache and browser history does not work. Does anyone have a resolution for this?
Isnt it following two script is identical? but they seems to contradict in different browser.
--following works in IE9 but not chrome <script type="text/javascript"> var el=document.getElementById('myLink'); window.onload = function(){ el.trigger('click'); }; el.click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); });
I'm trying to write some javascript code that should only run in firefox. I thought that document.all was undefined in firefox, but it actually is defined. When I write it out I get document.all = [object HTML document.all class]
I have looked around and not been able to find a definitive answer to this. Prototype does not work in IE 7 or lower. All other browsers work just fine. Even something as simple as toggle(); will not work in older versions of IE. I don't get any errors or anything like that. It doesn't really seem like a compatibility issue as much as it does that those browsers could be parsing the code differently?
I can't get the radio buttons to work properly in my browser. If you don't press one the alert box does not tell you that you have to tick either male or female. Also I noticed you can tick both but it won't say you must choose only one, how can I sort this..
case "radio_hidden": if (fld.value != "1")/* radio male or female button should be checked*/ { fld.valid = true;
JQuery slideshow works in dream weaver but doesn't work at all in the browser. I can't even see the pictures of the controllers for the slideshow. I can see the first image in it and thats about it as you have to click on a button to get the second menu button. It is the one at the following website [URL]. I took out the background and changed the dimensions to 900 and other than that left it the same I don't understand the issue.
I use a subnav and subsubnav with the following code. It works in all popular browsers as desired, except in Chrome (latest version), which don't open subnav-2I've tried several methods without success. The classes subnav-1 and subnav-2 are li elements. Maybe someone can tell me where is the problem.
I'm trying to augment Object.prototype with an addEvent method that will add event listeners, and will work regardless of whether the browser is IE or not.Here's what I have: So far it seems to work in non-IE browsers, but in IE8 it doesn't work. Where am I going wrong?
In my quest towards becoming a guru in Web Development led me to start learning Scripting few weeks ago and i started with Javascript there is this video tutorial that i have on my drive which was putting me through, the going was good but i got stuck when some of the examples demonstrated in there did not perform the way it was performing on the Instructor's system, yeah he said it in the tutorials that some of the Jscript codes may not function well in some browsers especially the older browser,he uses Firefox and Internet Explorer on his system while i use IE and Google Chrome on mine.
Well the Tutorial is actually old(i think it's 2006), but cos i use IE9 and 5.0Chrome browsers which i believe are newer i expect the codes to run on them. There are some of his examples that did not work on Firefox browser but at least they work on the 4.5IE he was using but to my surprise, despite the 100per cent copy and paste that i was doing for some of his example few of them did not still work properly on my own IE browser;codes like that one that aids text scrolling, onunload method and other few ones.So "Web whizes" help me out on what i need to do to give my scripting experience a jolly ride into becoming a wizard in my Web Development.
If visual basic and firebug doesn't show me any error and if code doesn't work on any browser...so what should i do. I did a little boring - to read my code again to find a simple syntax errors like - writte() for exemple.
But even that does not give me anything! Is there any good recomendations how to change it all?
Look at this code:
Browser gives me out only - Please enter a valid name
