Is there any sample code to use Javascript to load and display a text
file?
It will be best if the user can select files using some kind of
explorer. If that's complex, a text box to specify the file name will
be fine as well. Once a text file is selected, I just need to display
it in a text box.
I wrote some JavaScript I misguidedly thought cool, and felt like sharing it with the world. So I put a link to the source file in my blog. If I click on the link in Mozilla, it shows the source as text, as intended. If I click on it in Internet Explorer, I get a choice between saving the file or opening it, where 'opening it' means 'trying to run it and getting an error.' Putting Code:
type="text/plain" in the a tag doesn't help. Does anything?
I maintain a website for a small local restaurant. I do this with FrontPage so I know very little coding.
I have an upload manager so the owner can remotely upload a txt or doc file of daily specials to a folder on the server.
I would like to put a java script into one of the web pages that would open and display this file on page load.
I'm attempting to display a list of email addresses from a text file (one address per line) in measured increments, such as one email address per second. sorry, I don't know where to begin on this.Basically I want to use this to "simulate" the appearance of being able to view the real-time send to a series of email addresses. I'm using the PHP mail() funtion to send to the looped list of email addresses, pulled from a text file.It would be great to view the actual realtime send to each address as it occurs in the mail loop, but this simulation will suffice.

into about 10 fields, and then based on the entered data, writes out data
strings to a text file. I am attempting to create a form for entering
simple rectangle CAD data via a HTML form, which will be written to a text
file, and then imported into a CAD program.
The form would contain prompt boxes for things like length, width, radius
size, step/repeat, etc. When the user hits the "SUBMIT" button, the data
strings would be written out to the filename the user specified. Below is
an example of data strings to be ouputted. Variables are &L, &W, &R,
&STEPX, &STEPY, &XN, &YN.

i'm having trouble writing to a text file with javascript, i've tried writing to a local text file on my own PC, and I've also tried writing to a local file on my own server, (which I have all permissions to do so...) I'd really like to write to a file that resides on my own web server. Code:

Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.

I got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script
src="..." type="text/javascript" /tag from the <headpart to the
<bodysection of a HTML file.
Is not possibile to include Javascript code via <script src="..."
type="text/javascript" /from the <bodysection, instead from the
<headone? If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be?
If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file

to some particular native functions?
is it possible to use functions from javascript file A.js in javascript file B.js?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..

I want to use a button to display a pdf file. I have Windows 2000
server, IE 6 and Acrobat 7 with plug-in. I can use <a> link to display
it.
I search this group for js code but they don't work. I tried this
code:
<form><input type="button" value="View PDF" onclick="window.location =
'c:Barcode1234.pdf'">
<input type="button" value="View"
onclick="window.open('c:Barcode1234.pdf')">
</form>
The first button displays "The page cannot be displayed...".
The 2nd button displays new window displaying the drives on the PC,
such as A:, C: and D:.
Why does <a> works but not the code? Could you try the code and fix
it? May be I need to provide the file type but do not know the syntax.
Is there a way to display the file selection window for a file input field via JavaScript? My goal is to emulate the behavior seen in Yahoo! Mail BETA. When adding an attachment, it displays a file selection window when you click a custom button/icon. I saw an example of using CSS to actually position the browse button behind an image. I am hoping that isn't the only option.

I don't get any pleasing results... in the file, there are 'quoted printable' characters that are displayed as their corresponding hex value, and their encoding seems to be in windows-1256. I've tried messing around with contentType but didn't get any results.
I cannot modify the '.eml' files, so I have to load and process them in jQuery (hopefully). So is there some sort of library or built-in function that I can use?

I have a webcam that uploads an image to my non-profit's website via FTP every 15 seconds. The filename is webcam.jpg. I have a javascript that automatically reloads the image (NOT the entire page) every 15 seconds as well. The script is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
function reloadImage() {
var now = new Date();
if (document.images) {
document.images.myobject.src = 'images/webcam.jpg?' + now.getTime();
}setTimeout('reloadImage()',15000);
}setTimeout('reloadImage()',15000);
</script>
The script works great--the webcam image refreshes every 15 seconds without refreshing the entire page. What I'm trying to do is add javascript that will also display the timestamp of the webcam.jpg file when the image is refreshed (so that people know what time/date the image they're looking at was taken). I'm guessing this involves some sort of AJAX request, but I haven't the foggiest idea how to make it happen.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a folder of images from which I access individual pictures using the ID[Who] variable index passed down from the parent frame plus a local index variable p.
document.write('<img src="Photos/'+ID[top.Who]+p+'.jpg" width="100" border="3"><BR>');
where an example file in Photos is PhotosAndiamo1.jpg, the ID in this case resolving to "Andiamo" and the local variable is = 1. This works great.
I would like to add a file of text captions associated with the pictures, preferably saved in the Photos folder such as PhotoAndiamo1.txt.
While I can fetch the images easily by document.writeing the <img ....> command, how do I do a similar fetch for the text data and document.write it to the HTML? (Short of the hassle of creating text images and fetching those.)

I have one (1) XML file that is used to display job announcement data in two ways:
1. an RSS feed
2. an HTML file using javascript.
The RSS feed displays everything and that is good. But for the HTML file I only want some of the data to display not all of it. For instance, I want to display the announcements from the xml file ONLY where <grade> (<grade>FS-0203-7</grade>) starts with the letters "FS". I have tried this IF STATEMENT: if (("grade").match(/FS.*/)); but it does not work. How do I use Match so that it only writes grades from the XML file that start with "FS" or is there a better way to do this?

I want to store the main content of my site (with it's HTML) in an XML file such as:

<p>Yet another paragraph</p>

And I want to load all the HTML in a data node via an onclick event. I've got the following basic AJAX code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function ajaxRead(file,node) {
var xmlObj = null;
if(window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xmlObj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
return;
}
xmlObj. {
if(xmlObj.readyState == 4) {
var parentNode;
parentNode = xmlObj.responseXML.getElementsByTagName('data')[node]
updateObj('xmlObj', parentNode.firstChild.data);
}}
xmlObj.open ('GET', file, true);
xmlObj.send ('');
}
function updateObj(obj, data) {
document.getElementById(obj).innerHTML = data;
}
//-->
</script>
If I remove the HTML tags within the data node it works, but obviously there is no formatting, and its just all text. How can I load the HTML content into the div? Note: 'xmlObj' is the name of the div I'm trying to populate.
