I'm trying to check for this bug with the following script and it
*seems* to work. In IE it reports "bubbling" and in Firefox "not
bubbling" but I really have no direct way to confirm the Firefox
results until the bubbling bug is fixed.
Basically the test script assigns an onscroll event handler to a
textarea and then scrolls the textarea down then back up, checking to
see if a the event handler works (assigns the "bubbling" variable a
"true").
I had to code things with a few settimeouts otherwise Firefox, unlike
IE, wouldn't display the down then back up scrolling of the textarea.
Which may have been a problem.
Lacking a "debugged" Firefox browser, is there some further (indirect?)
tests and/or rational that would support or discredit this script as a
valid onscroll event check? ....
Does the world need another DHTML popup calendar? Probably not, but I'm writing one anyway. It's unique in that it allows drag selection of a range of dates. Works great on IE6 but I'm having some trouble with Netscape and events. In particular, the mousedown event doesn't work. The event fires, but I can't seem to get a handle on what html element was clicked.
Can someone help me on this little problem. I am using the following code in an xsl page.
The directed page is written in the javascript: submitOnClick();
<a href="#"> <xsl:attribute name="onClick">submitOnClick();</xsl:attribute> Main Menu </a>
The problem is that when href is given the # sign, the moment i click on the link it first jumps to the top of the page, before moving to the directed page.
This can be seen when the page is longer than the screen size.
Is there any other solution to rectify that problem ..........
I want to write an if / then statement and have tried using this:
var MyVarMailto; if (Request.Form("LoanRequest") == "Under $250,000") { if (Request.Form("Organization") == "1") { MyVarMailto = "emailA@address.com"; } } else if (Request.Form("LoanRequest") == "Over $250,000") { if (Request.Form("Organization") == "1") { MyVarMailto = "emailB@address.com"; } } else { MyVarMailto = "emailC@address.com"; }
So basically I have a form that gets filled out and submitted which passes the values to this page. I want to check the values against conditions that you can probably figure out above and then set the variable contigent to those values. I tried using AND after the first condition but that doesn't do anything.
Has anyone developed a function that can determine the width of a text string using a proportional font? I would like to do this in order to insert a variable number of spaces after the text to simulate a tab. Code:
I have a php form that submits to a database which is all fine, a portion of the form allows for more rows to be added as needed but for some reason it only allows for upto 9 rows to be submitted then it just loops back through the first 9 and i have no idea why.
I'm starting to focus my attention on using javascript more (initially in conjunction with css) and would like to know which version of JavaScript introduced functions such as getElementByID() and such. Recommendations for good books/sites would also be appreciated. I also would like to hear where I can find good tutorials and examples of using JS to interact with CSS. One thing I am playing on playing with is using CSS/JS with forms to help users fill in required info. Hoping to make it even more obvious the famous little red asterisks by each form field.
I am working on a website that utilizes a DHTML (HTML + Javascript) Navigation bar, but IE blocks the "ActiveX" content, despite the fact I am just using javascript. This site will be used by every computer on our network.
Is there any way I can modify the script so that it is not blocked even when this "security feature" enabled?
In a nutshell, I'd like to have a list of items, each of which fills out a small table which displays some info about a particular item(the items being a trouble ticket for a tech support ASP-built web-based app). There may be zero, one, or many of these per ticket. Since some tickets have many of these items (call them work items), the page can get awful long. I have this part working already.
So my proposed solution to make the pages shorter would be to have one line for each of these little work items. If you click the text in that one line, it shows what had been a hidden div. If you click it again, it hides it.
I have a javascript that manipulates the DOM with content that will be of variable heights. How can I ascertain how high my div needs to be in order to show all content without scroll bars. Rather than just having this happen automatically, I want the div to expand with a DHTML animation. So, I need to know where to tell the script to stop expanding. In pseudo-code:
I need a JavaScript code so that I can achieve the functionality like the attached image. There will be horizontal scroller with left, right arrow for image scrolling. If a user will click on any image then that that image will be opened above the scrolling bar.
I'm working for a company that is using version 1.4.4. But Ive acquired the need to paging tabs.In the example though, It uses 1.3.2. Is this the only version of the library that i can use. or can I use my existing library?
I know that iframes can be set to have scroll bars automatically apear when needed or put them there permanantly. However, I would like to have a Javascript slider on the topmost page scroll the iframe. It was possible to make a link on the topmost page change the content of the iframe by putting the iframe name in the link's target. Is this possible with a slider? I ask this because some of the content inside the iframe is on external pages so obviously we can't add the scroll bar there.
I have been trying to write a script that allows a user to click on a button like a plus sign to add an additional field for a phone number when they have more than one phone number to enter. I have created a script that sort of does this. It doubles up what is already there, so, the first time, everything is fine, but after that I get a lot more fields than I want. I am a php programmer and not familiar enough with javascript to get to what I want. My script is included below. What I am doing here is retrieving the html content and then adding it to what is already there. In php I would use an if conditional test to see if the data has been retrieved.
The first time it would retrieve the data into a variable. After that it would not retrieve it. I think I am getting into some scope and sequence issues here. Javascript is a bit different than php in these regards. Also there is a commented line in the code that asks another question about the use of variables that I don't understand. I also tried using appendChild() here to no avail. I couldn't get that to work at all.
Does anybody know how i check to see if the radio button is select and also can anybody tell me how i can check for an email in the correct format the function isValidEmail in the above alows emails to pass through.
I've added file upload support to the form plugin and I could use some help testing it out.If this feature interests you then go ahead and grab the beta plugin at:URL...File upload support is baked right into the plugin and there are no external dependencies.The plugin will automatically detect file input elements and use an iframe to submit the form if there are files to be uploaded.No extra coding or metadata is needed to take advantage of this new feature.In addition, even though an iframe is used instead of the XHR object, callbacks and global triggers still work as expected (so any code that you have in place to display activity indicators or blocking elements will still work).However, there are some challenges when using iframes in this manner.For one, it is quite difficult to determine if the submit operation succeeded or failed.The iframe becomes the target of the submit operation and so that is where the server response is written.The form plugin does its best to determine the data type (html, xml, etc),but the status is always 'success' unless an exception is caught during the type determination.URL...
If you use this page for testing *please* be kind to my server and only upload small files! I'd really prefer that you download the plugin and integrate it into your own test environment if possible.I've done some testing on FF, IE and Opera and the results are encouraging. I don't have access to Safari so I'm sure there are issues lurking for that platform.If you're interested in the code you can find it all tucked into the end of the ajaxSubmit method in a function called "fileUpload".
Is there any way to test for the presence of the Adobe Acrobat plug-in in Internet Explorer? It's doable in Netscape but so far I cannot get it to work in MSIE.
I'm trying to get JSUnit to work - I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get the simplest of tests working - example 1 of the jsunit homepage - Both on my server and locally, nothing happens after clicking run - or if I'm lucky, a window pops up, blank, other than the heading "Tracing - JSUnit".
I had a rethink about my problem discussed in this [URL] thread, where the function won't run properly a second time if the page hasn't been reloaded. That one appears not to have a solution, and I was thinking that a reasonable plan B is the following:
a) test if the function has already been run since the page was loaded
b) if not, run the function
c) if it has, reload the page with the onClick, then run the function automatically on reloading.
the problem I envisage is will the page "remember" to run the function once it has been reloaded?Of course, it would be simpler to do it running the function automatically once the page loads, then just reloading if the test comes back that the function has been run already, but that wouldn't work for the first time you visit the page - it would start running straight away, whereas I want it to wait for that first click. Here's the page [URL] I'm working on, if you want to have a look.
I was putting some javascript in a form and doing my usual testing and swearing when the javascript did not run without an error message of any type and reverting the code back until it did run and adding code til it didn't.
Then it hit me - isn't there a better way - doesn't someone have a program or utility that will help debug Javascript ???
As I'm doing Javascript it is much harder to decode than the 30 year-old Fortran programs - they typically gave a line number and variable name that was missing.
When I did Basic before Visual Basic, the editor identified errors in real time as we typed. What is available for Javascript?
If I have to test my code on different Netscape versions, can I download and run those versions on the same computer or will it create conflicts? And if I had to test only one version which one should it be - which one has the most common elements to all the versions?
I am trying to check if my new window is open and if it is change the url. This works until I use the x in the corner to close the window. At that point i get an error when i try to open the window again. I believe that it is because newWindow is still active. How do I close newWindow when it is unloaded or closed by the x. If this is truely the problem.
