Getting The Contents Of A Local URL Request?
Oct 14, 2009
I've spent 30 minutes or so googling to find the answer to this question, and I haven't found it. I'd like to use JavaScript to get the contents of a URL on the same domain (locally). For that matter it will be within the same directory on the domain.I was hoping there'd be a simple "getURL" function that would assign the contents of a URL request to a variable. One that isn't terribly platform specific, either. Is there such a thing?I'm creating a script that will perform 3 different searches at my website, and place the results in 3 columns for easy comparison. It's somewhat of a metasearch, extracting similar items from 3 different websites. The local CGI script on my website (the one I'm hoping to call using Javascript) makes the query to the external websites. The problem is that it can take sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to finish all of this, where one site in particular can be fairly slow.
So rather than make the visitor wait 5 to 10 seconds to see anything at all, I thought a good solution would be to have the CGI script display a page quickly, showing that site #1 is being searched (and displaying results once it's finished), then site #2, then site #3. Ideally the results from site #1 would have JS that would trigger the search for site #2, and so on.I've done this before using frames, but I was hoping to avoid having to use frames.I'm not a JS expert, but I know how to use createTextNode to insert the contents of variable within the document.The only thing I need to know how to do is assign the contents of a URL request to a variable.

I'm busy making a project which needs to be ran locally. It has to work on Firefox only.
I've ran into the problem I can't load local XML files from another directory then the html file is located.
When I try loading XML trough an ajax request with the url "content.xml" everything works fine. As soon as I want the XML to be loaded from another folder, e.g. "../../../content.xml" it doesnt enter my success function.
$.ajax({
cache: "false",
type: "GET",
url: "../../../content.xml?r=" + Math.random(),
[Code]....

I am working on a project involving the Google Maps api. I have an application that spits out a text file with lat/lng coordinates plus some other info. I'm trying to figure out how to get the data from the local text file into a javascript array that can then be used by the Google Map api to create the map.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I'm fairly certain that there is not a way to do it just with Javascript, but I thought I would ask. If not, any suggestions on how to do it, perhaps with xmlhttprequest and a PHP script? I don't need the text file to actually be saved on the web server, but if that's the only option then I can go that route.

I worked with now in jQuery. Property however at present the following problem: [i]I provide a AJAX Request. the side is loaded, the parameters all conveyed and back receives I a complete HTML side. Now I would like to have only certain elements however from this side, like DIV, SPAN etc. How can I make with the AJAX Request return in such a way best, which I can select these elements thereby? Simply it would be unfortunately not functioned over the function $ (element), it even if I indicate the HTML Request as secondly parameter.[/i] Excused, for my bad English. ;-) Translatertool. There is unfortunately too many words, in order to describe my problem. ^^

I have a php page which returns a table representing a query sent to a MySQL database. So far it has worked in every case except now that I'm trying to use it to call a stored procedure, in which case the readystate is staying at 1 and never completing.
I have logged the results of the php file both in an error log and looked at the response from the request using firebug, both of which show a correct result.
Why isn't this returning properly?
Here are the relevant javascript functions:
Code:
function customizeType()
{
$("custom-header").innerHTML = "";
$("custom-top").innerHTML = "";
[Code]....
After the page loads, the error log shows correct results for all queries.

I'm looking for javascript to analyze the contents of a textbox and replace the contents with the appropriate date. To make that a little clearer, if the user types 'tomorrow' then when they tab/move onto the next text box the 'tomorrow' text should be replaced with the date for tomorrow in the format dd/mm/yyyy, if the user enters '1 week' then the text should be replaced with the date in one week in the format dd/mm/yyyy etc.

Is there a way to get the visitors *local* IP-address in javascript? I mean his LAN address like 192.168.1.x, not his regular IP-address.
I found several approaches that attempt to do this, but they either give me the external (regular) IP address, or they give 127.0.0.1 which doesn't really tell me anything. I need the local network address.
Just an alert saying "your machine's local network IP is 10.0.0.139" .

In jslint's doc it says, "JSLint does not expect that a var will be defined in a block. This is because JavaScript blocks do not have block scope. This can have unexpected consequences. Define all variables at the top of the function." What are some of those unexpected consequences?

Both an EtherNet (wire) network and a wireless network are referred to
as a Local Area Network (LAN). A wireless network does not require
hubs, switchers, or routers to include additional users on the
network. Additional wireless users are supported just by being in the
immediate physical span of the network.
A wireless LAN (or Wi-Fi network) may be configured in two different
ways:
Ad Hoc mode: Allows only for communication between different personal
computers and wireless devices, often referred to as peer-to-peer
communication.
Infrastructure mode: Required for communication with the World Wide
Web, a printer, or a wired device of any sort. In either case, this
wireless connection requires a wireless network adaptor, often called
a WLAN card. Code:

I am developing a web application where each page shows a series of small jpg images each with an onClick event which plays a small mp3 file using javascript.
It all works perfectly but is a bit slow to load, so the customer wondered if we might develop a local version which, although the page was accessed via the web, the images and mp3s were installed on a users local pc (will be machine specific application anyway).
I have managed to do this for the images by using:
<img src="file:///C|/folder/home.jpg" onClick="EvalSound('shortname')">
and adding the site as a trusted site in IE7 (after much head scratching!).
However, my embed statement to embed the local mp3 files doesn't seem to work. I am using:
<embed src="file:///C|/folder/filename.mp3" autostart=false width=0 height=0 name="shortname" enablejavascript="true">
I have tried all sorts of versions of this path and nothing seems to work. I just get an 'unspecified error' when I click the image.

My current set up is a form that gets someone to enter "City, State" then when they hit the submit button i used PHP to set up a variable called $location which was set to google.com/maps?q=from%3A+city,+state+to%3A+city,+state the $to variable is sent from a hidden input and is equal to the club they want to go to. After that i do a few string changes to get rid of the spaces. after its' all done it becomes $location.
What i currently have is a simple window.open() using javascript to open up the window. This works fine with one major problem.. popup blockers stop it from opening and the people browsing this site aren't exactly tech savy. They usually have no idea how to allow popups and this becomes a problem. The only reason i have it set up the way i do now is because my javascript is very limited.. but my php is pretty good. Is there a better way to open up the new window without popup blockers stopping it? If not do you know a way I could set up javascript to change a hidden input on the fly as the person enters their info so i can just use method="GET" and have the action to google.com/maps.

I am trying to make my site so that when my boss needs to view the website when there is no internet he is still able to go from page to page. I set it up in dreamweaver and just put not ftp information in it, does that mean he can view it without internet now. Also I can see my navigation which is a javascript navigation, when i view it in the browers.

I have Win 7, IE9. I have a HTML file on my hard drive, with Javascript within. When I load the page, it keeps popping up Do u want to allow this content, I have to click to allow. I want to stop this, and after doing some searching I found the setting in Internet Options, Advanced - "Allow active content to run in files on my computer".
Perfect.
Doesnt work. When i check this box, the page loads without the warning, but then the Javascript just doesnt work. Getting quite annoying, because this file is my home page.

I am a back en developer and really don't understand event driven/front end development so if I use newbie terms or make no sense please bare with me. Could someone point me to some tutorials on how I might render something if and only the local machine has good processing power/ram. I am going to be rendering some stuff which will require quite a lot of processing power on the local side. Just a threshold thing really nothing predictive or anything just if ram is more than 1GB and processor faster than a P4 or something like that.

I know I'm missing something about GMT stuff, the problem is that I don't know what exactly If I follow this steps I wont get the real time (for my country) but 2 h 5 m later. Where is the mistake? You can try the code under this lines:
Code:
var Cdate = new Date();
var Smiltotal = Date.UTC(Cdate.getFullYear(), Cdate.getMonth(), Cdate.getDate(), Cdate.getHours(), Cdate.getMinutes(), Cdate.getMilliseconds());
var Pdate = new Date(Smiltotal);
var Smonth = Pdate.getMonth()+1;

I'm looking for a way to define a function that's only effective inside
specified function.
Featurewise, here's what I want to do:
bar_plugin_func = function() { ...; setTimeout(...); ... };
wrap_func(bar_plugin_func);
bar_plugin_func(); // calls custom "setTimeout"
So while plugin developer thinks s/he's calling top-level function,
I want to hook it by somehow injecting local variable with the same
name.
Simply doing something like
;(function() { setTimeout = function() { ...my custom implementation
})();
is not ideal, as that'll taint global scope. Actually, I can live with
that for now,
but it's my technical interest to find a way to define it locally.
