How Can I Read Args From Url Using Javascript?
Jul 23, 2005
I thought this would be simple for me to work out, but I can't seem to find reference to it. I'm flexable on how I call a URL, thus, if I have any one of the following:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=dup
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=1
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?dup
How can I read the value to the right of the question mark?
I want to create a javascript function which reads the url, and, if the url was passed an arguement, it acts on it (namely, displays an error message)....

I'm trying to add a timeout to the mouseout behavior, to keep the menus open for a split second after the user mouses out. (IE 6 only for now).
I'm having trouble using the the setTimeout function with a complex statement. Here's the function:
function mouseOutActions(el) {
//el.className=el.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover"), "");
setTimeout(el+"'.className = '"+el+"'.className.replace(new RegExp(' hover\b',''),'');",2000);
}

I need to make a javascript read a web directory from a remote site (ie
"http://remotesite.com/images") (The remote die does not have an index.htm and does have directory listing enabled)
I have seen many samples but they all use frames or iframes, all I want
is a method that you can say:
<body onload="readremotedir('http://remotesite.com/images');">
and the method would get the directory listings and populate an array
var Pic = new Array()

I would like to some javascript connect to a URL on the same webserver
and read a CGI. The output from this CGI is not plain HTML but rather
data which needs to be displayed in a moving graph. Coming from a Perl
background I'd say I'm looking to do something like:
while (my $data = read_url(http://whatever) {
print some pretty moving data across the screen;
}
Is something like this possible to do in javascript?

If you give an element an inline property, as in
<div id='testDiv' style='display:block'>blah</div>
then an alert(document.getElementById('testDiv').style.display) will of course give you "block." But, if you give the element a property through an external CSS file, the same alert comes up empty!
This is causing me big problems as I've discovered and is ridiculous. Can javascript read properties from external CSS sheets?

I am using a standard javascript that I downloaded from
javascriptsource.com to read from and fill in a form using cookies.
The page tests well in every browser except Apple's Safari (from
10.3.2)
Unfortunately, my clients daughter uses Safari so I have to get it to
work with it, even though most of his clients use IE.
What do I need to do to change the code so this will all work in
Safari? Code:

I have an XML document which lists some information about movies(Title, actor, etc.) I am using Javascript to pull that data and display it as html. Is it possible to create a link for each one of those titles that are pulled from the XML in my JS? Here is my code:
for (var i=0; movies.length > i; i++)
{
var Title = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("title");
var Actor = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("actor");
var Price = movies[i].getElementsByTagName("price");
results += i+1 + '. ' + ' "<span class="title"><a href="http://www.imdb.com">' + Title[0].firstChild.nodeValue + '</a></span>"' +
' starring <span class="actor">' + Actor[0].firstChild.nodeValue + '</span>' + ' and costs approximately $'+ Price[0].firstChild.nodeValue + "<br/>
";
}
document.getElementById("displayresults").innerHTML = results;

I'd like to read and modify a cell (e.g. 'Text 1') in the following HTML table with a javascript:
==============================================
<html>
<body>
<table id = "MyTable">
<tr id = "Row1">
<td width = "40%">
Text 1
</td>
<td width = "60%">
Text 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
==============================================
With
var table = document.getElementById("MyTable");
I can access the table and with
... table.rows[var_tabelle.rows.length - 1].firstChild
I can somehow access the row. But I can't read and also not change the
content.

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 want to read a pre tag with xml. I am working client side. I have tried everything. The <title> tag gets lost with innerHTML(ok in FF only). I tried traversing the dom and putting in the tag names but the title tag is ignored. I am trying to syntax highlight this. Everything works if I do not use certain html tags. How do I get raw text from the pre? The text would come from one of two sources, a server or inputted into a textarea by the user. It is dynamically placed in the div tag and then processed.

I have a database with information of my users, lets say their date of
birth.
I want them to be able to go to my site, and login with a username and
password, after which they get to see what their date of birth is (according
to what's stored in the database).
I want to upload a textfile named "userinfo.txt" structured like:
<username>;<password>;<date of birth>, for example:
"johndoe";"johnpass";"1985-11-25"
"marydoe";"marypass";"1986-02-12"
What's the javascript to have a "username/password" box popup, and when a
valid name/pass was entered show the appropriate date of birth?

I use Microsoft.XMLDOM load() method to load an XML file into memory
and display
some elements in the browser.
However it apparently locks the file, since I get this error message
whenever a Visual Basic application concurrently tries to add an
element to the same XML file:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.
I would like not to lock this file, but open it in read-only mode
instead. In fact the browser simply needs to read its content, it
doesn't need to modify it at all. As a consequence there is no reason
to lock it.
At the same time, I need to access it from the VB process.

I have an external file, TestVar.js with a single line.
NewsA("This is a test.","test.pdf","TEST")
Within my HTML I wish to use the array variables from TestVar.js, but
can't seem to get them loaded for use. The following is what I have,
but doesn't work. If I directly place the NewsA array in the script
instead of trying to call it from the js it works just the way I want
it, but I really need the external file. What am I doing wrong? Code:

I need to parse a response from a cgi script. The response is te
following:
<HTML>UID=834<HTML>
the call for the cgi is http://<server>/cgi-bin/getuid?FILE=uid.html
Now I need the UID in a javascript.
1) call cgi
2) put UID into a variable
How do I have to do that? If I call the cgi the response will be
displayed on the screen but I just need it in the variable.

I'm trying to read a cookie that I've set with php with javascript. The cookie is for storing the username when logging in to a site. If the cookie has been set I want the focus in the inline popup to target the password field so that the user doesn't have to tab down from the username field of the login form.
The php script stores the cookie perfectly:
if (isset($_POST['remember'])){
$expire = time()+60*60*24*30;
setcookie("login_username", $username, $expire);
echo $_COOKIE['login_username'];
} else {
if (isset($_COOKIE['login_username']) || isset($_COOKIE['password'])){
$expire = time()-3600;
setcookie("login_username", "", $expire);
}}
The javascript:
if (targetfocus == 'login_username'){
alert(readCookie('login_username'));
if (readCookie('login_username') == 'username'){
targetfocus = 'password';
}}
$("#"+targetfocus).focus();
...
function readCookie(name) {
var cookieName = name + "=";
var cookieArray = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookieArray.length; i++){
var cookie = cookieArray[i];
while (cookie.charAt(0)==' '){
cookie = cookie.substring(1,cookie.length);
}if (cookie.indexOf(cookieName) == 0){
return cookie.substring(cookieName.length,cookie.length);
}return null;
}}
But when trying to read the cookie in the javascript code I receive null when I put an alert to the code. Why won't the javascript find the cookie? Is it because I'm running the site localhost on my laptop? Does that have an effect on cookies?

While writing a look up for internet terms script for a site, I found the script will not read the second value in this array, I could make wl[1] a null value but would like to know what is happening if possible. All of the other elements seem to be ok!
function search(){
wl = new Array()
wl[0]="applet - An Applet is a small application etc";
wl[1]="Bug? - Null but why";
wl[2]="cgi - CGI or Common Gateway Interface allows etc";
wl[3]="browser - A Browser is etc.";
myWord=document.theForm.txtWord.value;
myWord = myWord.toLowerCase();
for(c=0; c < wl.length; c++){
currentWord = wl[c].split(" ");
alert(c + " MyWord " + myWord);
alert(c + " Current " + currentWord[c]);// The alert box = 'Current -' when wl[1] is read.
}
}//end of function

Does anyone know how - or better yet - have a sample of how to extract information from a meta tag in an HTML document's head tag using Javascipt?
I have looked at the DOM with Firefox - but it seems so long. I'd be really interested in a better way. If someone has the javascript for walking through the DOM, that would be cool too. I havn't built it yet.

so I'm interested in knowing if there's a way through javascript, php whatever to be able to read the pages current URL. For example when the page loads and knows the difference between www.mySite.com/ and www.mySite.com/#aboutI'm trying to find if there's a way to use the '#about' as a variable for a particular script instead of just it being dummy text on the end of the URL.

If I have a link to a URL such as <a
href="http://www.mysite.com/somecode.htm?5">Link1</a>, and if I include
javascript in the somecode.htm file, is there a javascript command that I
can use which will read the argument 5?
For that matter, is there anyway to send an argument to the javascript code
of an html link you are calling. Server scripts are not an option for me.
For example, assuming that index.htm contains 50 links, I would like each
link to point to the same html file, but I want that javascript code in that
html file to execute something different depending on which link was
clicked.
My only other alternative would be to create 50 similar html files which to
me looks like amateur or bad coding.

I'm using a java-script in a HTML-page. Part of the script is the line:
var limit = 1136 - 1101;
The value 1136 is a counter and changes permanantly. In VB I can write a
routine which prints the actual value to a fule called COUNTER.TXT.
Can I change my JavaScript in such a way that it reads the value of the file
COUNTER.TXT?
