I have two .js files that are used on several of my pages. I made some
changes in one of the files. When I call the pages, the old functions
are called because of the browser's cache. What is the best way to
update the browser's cache with the newer version of my .js file?
Lets say you have a 1000 line javascript file which is linked to an everyday html file. The browser is set, by default, cache the linked javascript file (after downloading and interpreting it).
But once it's cached and put into a temp directory on the client's computer, is the cached file in an already parsed format? Or something relative? Or is it in the same format as it was on the server-side? This would mean that the .js file is parsed each time the exact same way (as long as the file itself is not changed, deleted, or renewed on the server-side).
Hey I have a question about working around the new IE (internet explorer) issue. They released an update that causes my flash objects to not be in focus (IE 6.02 Windows XP). So when the user rolls over a flash animation it makes a border around it and nothing works in the flash file until they click on it.
I guess they had some legal issues or something.
If you don't know what I am talking about you can download the latest IE updates and use the code below and you will see what I mean.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="719" height="286">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf" border="0">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="test.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="719" height="286"></embed>
</object>
It says "click to activate and use this control" when you roll over the flash object I figure that javascript can work around this, but I can't figure it out. I see yahoo's flash animations don't cause the issue so there must be a way around it.
I noticed that all simple jQuery ajax calls are unable to cached by Firefox (no problem with other major browsers).
See the following test code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#load").click(function(){$("#test").load("/test.txt");});

on a clients site, i am gettign one file that seems to be cached by aol, and i can not seem to get aol to get the new file. he dials into aol strait, and there is no company sever to worry about. so the client sees the old file and gets on my case. just wondering, is there a way to maybe put something in the file header, to make aol get the new file? it has been about 4 days. all the other files that were changed worked out okay just one is not working. i have checked the browser and tried to clear the cache in ie, and still no luck. the client dials in, so there is no company server to worry about...

I'm using 2 <script src="script file name here"> tags.
When I make a change to a script in the file in the 1st script tag, I have to turn the browser off and then back on to see the change-reloading the page isn't enough.
How can I make it so I see the changes by reloading the page and not turning the browser off and back on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?

I want to write a javascript to list of all files in a folder including files in the subfolders. This is for the scorm purpose to list all the files. some examples are listing files but not listing the files inside the subdirectories.

display a file that gets created when a button is pressed.
My problem is when the file is changed and the display button is
pressed, the old file is still displaying. I have tried using
<META HTTP-EQUIV=expires CONTENT=0><META HTTP-EQUIV=PRAGMA CONTENT=NO-CACHE>, but doesn't work 100% of the time.
What is the correct way to work with multiple language JavaScript files? So how to use your PHP language variables in your JavaScript files? The way I do it now is create JavaScript files like 'script_js.php' like this:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some Flash SWF games on my website with advertising banners on them.
People access a certain game by going to
http://www.mysite.com/flashgame.htm. With IE no problem. But in Firefox they
can type in http://www.mysite.com/flashgame.swf and bypass my banners. The
banners help pay for me hosting these games.
Is there a way with javascript that I can tell when they are going directly
to the swf file instead of going to the htm page? And redirect them to the
htm file?
I need to change like 500 .eml files to .xls files.

<script type="text/javascript" src="file2.js"></script>
I am trying to use a function that is defined in file 1 inside file 2. Its not working because its telling me that the function is undefined. Is there any way to make one file "see" the functions inside the other file in javascript?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form, which has a user and password, that a user enters

i would like to submit it to 2 two different files.
so file1.asp would have user and password....and file2.asp would have

i would like two different windows to open, if possible. so the user

window 1 = file1.asp

I'm writing a class that will enable the user to upload files to
the server without reloading the current page (using target="iframe"),
and it works just fine in Firefox, but when I test it in IE, first of
all, the iframe is not targetted at all, and IE stupidly opens a new
window, second the <input type="file" element looses it's name
attribute for some reason... I tried using DOM and assigning the
element thru innerHTML, both will just not work in IE (and will just
fine in Firefox). Those interested to have the source code (commented
in french) may just ask me. But if anyone had similar problems, and
would want to share with me, I'd really much appreciate, because this
is driving me insane!
This seems like a really stupid question. Can you include a javascript
file in a javascript file?
Rather than doing this:
<script src="A"></script>
<script src="B"></script>
I want to do
<script src="A"></script>
and then have in script A:
include("B");
where include is a magic word that includes the file B.
Is it possible to have JavaScript do a checksum of a file a user has
chosen to upload via a multipart html form? I'd like have JavaScript
do a checksum on the client side, embedded the result in the form, and
then have a CGI on the server check to ensure the server-side checksum
matches the client. Is such a thing even possible?
I there any way for javascript to write/manipulate a file other than through a cookie?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought the book: JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook. As I
opened the .js files with note pad, I asked myself why was the code
formated in such a way. The code looks as if it had been produced by
some kind of programs instead of a person. I also noticed a lot of
little squared zeros; what are those all about?
I have also noticed code formated in a similar way, when viewing some
of the source code of the web pages on the MSN web site. If someone
knows anything about this machine-like formating, I would love to hear
from you.
my website [URL] has been left unfinished by my friend and it doesnt look like he can finish it now. I have some understanding of code and have manually edited the existing pages in notepad to fix some issues. The one issue I have left is on the javascript samples player which overlays the main screen. I have all of the files (an flv and swf plus a folder full of js and a vbs file). As you will see, the morning chapter does not play but all of the others do. I have checked the flv in a player and it works fine, and it was created in the same way as the others. All flv and swf files are uploaded correctly I just can't work out why it is not working.
