I have an Ajax submit xmlHttp. It works fine except some special characters like the ampersand do not pass and cut the submitted text. I understood that I could use the "escape" function to solve this.how to use escape on my Java code.Here is my code, how can I add the "escape function"?
<script type="text/javascript">
var fieldname = 'postrowbody';
var xmlHttp = http_object();[code]....
Does anyone know the escape character for & and # like in : Update GDO_INFO_ER set V_COMMENTAIRE='B&A' where V_USERMODIFICATION='bilal123' or Update GDO_INFO_ER set V_COMMENTAIRE='B#A' where V_USERMODIFICATION='bilal123' I would like to insert & and # literally in the table.
I have some javscript mixed into a applications templating and have run into a problem the way javascript is handling a path for me.
I am via the template assigning a file path to a javascript variable.
The Tempalte: var myfile = "!FILEPATH!"; which becomes: var myfile = "C:mydir hefile.txt";
The issue of course being that the 's are not escaped. I'm not as fluent in Javascript as I'd like to be yet and I havn't figured out a way to escape it so I can coninue on with the rest of the script. I've tried to do a search and replace but javscript is already interpreting the 's as escaping a character.
How can I either autoescape the 's (if possible), or access the raw data so I can replace with ?
I am having trouble with some code on my site. I have an arcade with game links that have tooltips which display thumbnails. The tooltip code for each link is in the title attribute. I am using javascript to write the code for these links with tooltips so that if javascript is disabled the title attribute displays something different. My problem is some of the tooltip thumbnails contain an apostrophe (') in their src code. I use a backslash () to escape this once but I need to escape it again. Is this possible. The reason I need to escape it twice is one to escape it from the javascript and another to escape it from the src tag (src='Thumbs/image'src.jpg').
I have an announcement webpart on my sharepoint site. The boss wanted attachments to open in a new window so that users don�t close the attachment and get knocked from the site only to have to login again. To achieve this we settled on a policy that attachments should be in the form of PDF documents rather than word format. We contacted Microsoft who in turn developed a solution for us that consisted of a content editor web part that runs some javascript. The problem is 2 fold.
1. The javascript only works in Internet explorer. When used in other browsers the attachments open in the same window.
2. If the name of the document contains an apostrophe, IE barks a javascript error: expected �)�
How do I rewrite the code to escape the apostrophe and to function in multiple browsers?
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("OpenPDFInNewWindow()"); function OpenPDFInNewWindow() {
Yesterday I discovered a problem on one of my sites: escape function was encoding the same string Sal in two different ways:Sal%F2Sal%C3%B2 This was happening on Firefox 2.0.0.3. In Opera 9.20 was encoded ok every time.
So, in Firefox was a russian roulette . Sometimes was encoding the string like I wanted to, sometimes not. As a solution I use encodeURIComponent(), but the behavior of escape() seems strange to me.
I Have form use javascript to do th basic validation , but some how some one can get out of the javascript validation and submit the form why and how to stop it ?
I'm looking for a function that will convert non-ascii characters to unicode escaped string.For example, "あ" => "u3042".A similar piece of code is below. However, it convert strings to "\uxxxx" instead of "uxxxx". Changing "\" to "" in code below still won't work because that result in 'u' + 'xxxx' which print as "uxxxx".I have been searching for a few days already, and start wondering if this is at all possible. ; (
Code: var unicodeEscape = function(str) { var code, pref = {1: '\x0', 2: '\x', 3: '\u0', 4: '\u'};
I was wondering if there are any proper, robust libraries or functions/methods that I don't know of that will escape all the problematic characters such as single quotes and tabs.
I find myselfwriting x = x.replace(/'/g,"'"); and the reverse over and over again. Shouldn't Javascript have a built in method to do this? I know of the escape() function but I am not sure if this is more for urls. What is the real world way of storing such an "escaped" variable in a database that will later be read into a javascript variable? :-/
Maybe one could use escape() and unescape() in some way, but some expert probably could answer this in a snap.
I'm passing a parameter to a script, which sometimes fails. However, I discovered that the ones failing had parentheses within the text string, e.g., "Step: Press the (0) on the console."
I've learned how to escape apostrophes, but how do I do so for parens? Is it ( ? Also, where ' was the xml entity for apostrophe, would someone know the one for left and right parens? Can't find that either...not having much luck today with my searches.
I'm using the Jquery UI dialog to popup some alerts and whatnot, and I'd like to be able to analyze the event object passed into my onClose handler, to determine whether the dialog was closed by the User pressing the Escape key (closeOnEscape = true).
Can anyone tell me how to escape the special characters(like &,^,%,$ etc) in a string using Javascript?
For eg. I have a string like this : "Tes$#t" I want this to be changed to Tes$# before sending as a input parameter. So that i can process the string as it is typed exactly.
am in need of escaping the regular expression special characters like '/', '.', '*', '+', '?', '|','(', ')', '[', ']', '{', '}', '\'.I have try with this by the following javascript but i can not achieve that.
RegExp.escape=function(str) { if (!arguments.callee.sRE) {
Attempting to use javascript's regular expression methods to match a particular lab number and building which would then be copied to a pair of textfields, I found that general matching characters needing a backslash were not recoginized. The following adapted code that finds a two-button radio selection shows my problem:
function labstat(){ for (i=1; i<3; i++){ if(document.tester.rm_mod[i-1].checked){ var lb = document.tester.elements["lab"+(i)].value;//either 214 or 215* var bld = document.tester.bldg.value; if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Undetermined comment // if(/*/.test(lb)){ //error:Syntax error // if(/5/.test(lb)){ //works to match only 215* // if(/5*/.test(lb)){ //true for all // if(/ddd/.test(lb)){ //false for all document.tester.room1.value = lb; document.tester.bldg1.value = bld; } } }
It appears that the escaped characters are not recognized, whichever form of the method is used, i.e var re = /*/; // or = new RegExp("*"); if(re.test(lb)){ -------- With the --.match(__) method I have the same problem.
in IE only (tested version 7) if var myWord = "English" then it works fine but if var myWord = "Modifier Chau00EEnes" then I get "Unterminated string constant" error.
What fix would you suggest to keep div.innerHTML = "" format?
I am using jQuery with jEditable and jQuery UI confirmation dialog. What I am trying to do, it to restore contents of the table cell if user hits Cancel on jQuery UI dialog, or just hits Esc.jEditable has "onblur" option that i can set to "cancel", and it works if uses clicks out of the field, so I am trying to achieve something like that with jQuery UI, because currently it just leaves an empty table cell.
I am pretty sure the logic of my script is wrong somehow, so I am trying to figure out what to do to fix it.
Here is the flow of the script:
1. User clicks on a table cell and edits data in jEditable
2. User clicks save, jEditable doe POST to my php script and gets results, which a passed to jQuery UI confirmation dialog.
3. User either confirms or cancels changes. In case of Cancel or Esc, the user presented with a page, as it was before any editing has occured
-i $(".editable_textarea").editable("/path/to/my/php_script.php", { indicator : "<img src='/am/images/indicator.gif'>", type : 'textarea',
I'm trying to do use XMLHTTP to do a POST in the following JavaScript snippet.
var xml = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP'); xml.open("POST", "http://some/url/", false); xml.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xml.send("username=myusername&password=mypassword"); document.write(xml.responseText);
This works fine in Internet Explorer 6 SP2. However, I would like to use https, rather than http. When I change the URL to https and reload the page, I get an error: "The download of the specified resource has failed". As a test, I tried running the same code in Firefox (changing the first line to "var xml = new XMLHttpRequest()"), and this worked for both http and https perfectly, although using https causes a dialog box to pop up asking the user to accept the SSL certificate. Unfortunately, I really need this to work in IE.
I found a couple of discussions on Usenet about this, but none that seemed to give me a clear answer to this issue. Does anybody know what might be wrong or how I might fix it?
Just playing around with xmlhttp at the moment. I was just wondering if there is any reason (browser compatibility etc) the response data has to be formatted in xml, or can I send csv or whatever else if the handler is up for it?
I've been looking into the possibility of using XMLHTTP for my enterprise application but I still have a question.
When you send the request to the server, how does the server know how to handle the request? (i.e. how do I specify what method to call in my java servlet?)
I'd appreciate any help on this.....I've only got a vaey basic knowledge of javascript and I am fluent in java.
