"Fake Form" To Eliminate Back Button?
May 5, 2011
I am developing an iPhone version of a web app for a company I work with. The iPhone version is saved to the user's Home Screen as a pseudo-app (for lack of a better term). SSB might be more accurate. Everything in the site takes place in one window. Because there are navigation arrows within the web app itself, I don't want the browser's Back and Forward buttons to ever be enabled, because it can confuse the user. Hence, page navigation within the app is always done via location.replace().
My challenge was with the Login page. With a standard HTML form, the browser (SSB) navigates to the "action=" page specified by the form. So then you have a Back button. To work around this, I have created a "fake form" which simply writes the user's password to a cookie with a 5-second lifespan and then does a location.replace() to a Perl script that grabs and evaluates the cookie, immediately deleting it, and then writes the page to the browser. This works like a charm.
Question #1: is it an abomination to store the password in a cookie, even for a few seconds?
Question #2: At present I'm not encrypting it. Is there an effective client-side JS solution for encryption? Or, if it's client-side, wouldn't anyone be able to read the script and see how it was done?

I am designing a dynamic web form, and all works fine except that I can’ t eliminate the ‘blank’ spaces that appears between the form elements when these are displayed or hidden. I mean for example, the long blank space that appears between the form submit button and the table rows displayed, because the other tables and form elements are hidden.
I attached the complete sample page so that you can see the ‘blank’ spaces I want to eliminate. These are the 'blank' spaces I want to eliminate:
1. When the page loads, a long blank space appears between the submit button and the table rows displayed.
2. When you select only the ‘Quality B’ checkbox, a long blank space appears between the ‘Product details’ title and the table rows displayed.
3. When you select both ‘Quality A’ and ‘Quality B’ checkboxes, a blank space appears between the table rows displayed. I want a blank space there, but smaller.
In all the cases I want the submit button just below (with a little blank space) the table rows displayed.

I have a pageA containing a form the user my fill in partially. All data is stored into cookies. He follows a link to pageB that contains some of pageA.form inputs. If he adds or change form data cookies are instantly updated. What I need is if the user goes back (back browser button) to pageA, the form here is updated from updated cookies. Only Firefox 3 does the job without extra code. Ive tried all sort of things I found on the web with Opera 10, Chrome and Safari 3.

I have a form with three select boxes. Box 1 has a variety of choices, but boxes 2 & 3 are empty. When the person selects an option from box 1, box 2 gets populated with choices. When the person selects an option from box 2, box 3 gets populated with choices.
This is handled with javascript through either onblur or onchange (still working on which will work best for this).
The problem occurs after pressing submitting the form and then pressing the back button. All fields maintain their data EXCEPT boxes 2 & 3.
How do I get it so that those two boxes keep the data like the rest of the form?

I use Spry for my form validation and have recently ran into a small issue. Form fields validated using Spry lose their value when I hit the back button. Fields without validation retain their values.
The form is using the POST method. With javascript, is it necessary to send the form variables back to the original form page?

I'm looking to have a lightbox pop up when a user clicks the Back button in their browser rather than just navigating back. The purpose is to ask a question with a Yes/No answer, and if they click No, I allow them to go back. The only thing I've found anything like this is the onUnload event, but that doesn't prevent them from going back. How should this be handled?

I am trying to write a script that uses the IF statement to see wether or not a user clicked the back button to come to a page, and then if it's true to not let the page load and kick them back X number of pages (say 4) This is what I have so far:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if javascript:window.history.back == 1
{
javascript:window.history.back(4);
return false;
}
//--></script>

This is hard to explain but here's my predicament. I have 2 drop down menus in a form for "Main Category" and "Restaurant Type". My boss wants it so when Restaurant is chosen from the first drop down, the 2nd drop down appears, which is what this code below is already doing.
The problem is if you submit the form, then decide to go back and change your Restaurant type, the drop down for Restaurant Type is missing. You can get it to come back by switching to another main category, then switching back to Restaurant. Code:

I have been writing a practice sliding div navigation script. I am finding
myself in the position where I need to force a div into showing the hover
behavior defined in css.
So my question is this. If I have two divs, is there a way to make the
second div display its onmouseover behavior when the mouse is over div 1?

On my site I have a switch and JQuery fade in fade out when I click on 'Updates' or 'Projects'. Problem is that if I have scrolled down the page a little before clicking one of them, the page jumps back to top on clicking these options. I would like to eliminate that jump to the top.

I am wondering how Back, Forward browser button works for iframes. Does it bring back/forward iframe or top window? I remember I had before a problem because I wanted to bring back iframe and not top window as it did. But today I tested my Facebook app and was surprised to see it works as I need which means it brings back/forward iframe window and not top. Is it possible that Facebook has some javascript code which does that or is this normall behaviour?

I used this little code to replace some content with jquery:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Csere() {
$('#lufi').replaceWith('Duma');
}
</script>
111111<script type="text/javascript" id="lufi">Csere()</script>222222
This works fine, but i'd like to eliminate the id attribute from script tag. I tried $(this).replaceWith('Duma'), and $(this).parent().replaceWith('Duma'), but neither works.

I've painted myself into a corner, and I can't use any server-side solutions.
With some help, I've been working on a script on x.html that searches for a specific "image Y" within "Y.html" (inside an iframe). Then the script replaces the "Image x" url to the url of "image Y".
It drills through a specific div, to a specific span, to find this image Y. I have it this way, because it's a pre-built content management system that hasn't given me the ability to show the image on another page. I need to do this several times on one html file, so I'm running into huge load times, and there seem to be numerous clashes with servers and locking up. So I'm hoping there's a way to just avoid iframes and achieve the same result.
Here's the script that I've got, to help understand what I've done.

I have a graphic with a rollover for site navigation on each page. I
put the page to go back to in the rollover javascript.
My question is, is it possible to put in some code that will refer the
visitor back to whatever page they came from rather than one I
specify?
The rollover is combined with a tooltip script to make matters fun
(below). However, I'm quite happy to lose the tooltip to have the link
perform as a back button.
<a href="../index.asp"
onmouseover="document.images['link1'].src=img2.src;
showtip(this,event,'Back to home page');"
onmouseout="document.images['link1'].src=img1.src; hidetip()";><img
src="bhome.gif" name="link1" border=0></a>

how do i make the page go all the way to the top after you press the back button?
for example, you would go to page 1 and you scroll mid-way, then you press a link to page 2. then you press the back button on page 2 and takes you back to page 1 but it brings you back to the section where you scrolled mid-way.
is there any way to make it so it will automatically bring you to the top of the page. ive seen it on other sites.

after hitting 'back' button I'm taken to spot on page where I was, but I'm being asked to do the opposite -- take user to the top of the page, after hitting 'back' button... when I look up this issue, most people complain of the opposite - that the browser takes them to to top of the page after hitting 'back' button...;-) [URL] is there a way with JavaScript to force page to go to the top of the page when you navigate to a back via 'back' button?

The site that I'm currently working on is related to a computer game, and I'm creating an interface similar to the game using js for rollovers and imagery changes.
However, one thing that web browsers have that the game doesn't is a "Back" button. I don't want to disable it--I hate when sites do that--but I want to makes sure that button changes that happen going forward also happen going backward.
That said:
1: Is there any way to force a function to run when the back button is pressed? And if not...
2: Does the body onLoad event work when the page is returned to using the back button?

I have used thickbox js library to display 'popup contact cards' on a private website. which requires the user to login, I chose this as it's far better than using real popup widows, or full windows do display the small amount of info (name, position, and phone number).
However the client has had trouble with some users clicking the browser back button to exit the 'thickbox' screen instead of the 'close' text in the thickbox header bar (or using the esc key as you can in the latest version of Thickbox), clicking the back button sometimes leads to the user being logged out returning them to the 'please login' page.
