IE 5+ Bug? How To Store Complex Objects Whilst Changing Pages
Jul 20, 2005
Does anybody know why IE5+ does *not* honour array objects (like a table)
across a session?
Example:
Frame A contains a var tableVar which is set via form Frame B (on init)
using top.A.tableVar = document.getElementById("someTable");
As long as Frame B is *not* 'refreshed/ reloaded' witk another page the
variable in Frame A is ok.
However, when the page is changed it just 'kills' the rows in tableVar.rows
(the lenght just turns to 0).
When tested with something simple like a String (instead of a table) the
above mechanism works as expected.
After two full days of mucking about this is strting to smell funny.
Does anybody have any idea/ suggestion as to the what and/ or why of this
behaviour.
Im trying to create a function where i pass two element id's and my script populates it with events and anything else it may need to run but what i am finding is that i cant use this so that the instance of the object is kept what ends up happening is nothing at all what i would like to have happen is the code to work somthing like this...
I could use a hand changing the display property of a group of objects based on classname. What I have here doesn't work; perhaps you can see why? I think the basic problem is that I don't know how to access the objects properly.. Code:
I have just bought a JS animated web template. I made changes to the file names on the splash page (index.html) and 2 landing pages www.keithmacstanton.com/dez Now everything is all messed up.
I currently have 3 jQuery events assigned to the document keydown, keyup and click.
Here is my code:
var logkeydown = false; $(function(){ $(document).keydown(function(e){ var key; e?key=e.keyCode:key=event.keyCode;
[Code].....
They toggle the boolean value of whether the keyboard key 'e' is currently pressed. If so, when the user clicks any of the site, I have a Thickbox fading in. This works great in Firefox and Safari, but IE7 begins to fade in the Thickbox (btw, I slightly altered the thickbox code to fade it in/out) but halts half-fade until the 'e' key is released.
I have 4 div tags which are hidden to begin with from the css as shown below:
The contents of these is pulled out of a db and so the quantity of text changes (within certain parameters) and so the size of the divs changes, hence no height: setting.
I know I could get around this by setting an absolute height and using overflow to show a scrollbar but I would rather not have a scrollbar as the amount of text will only be 100-200 words.
Elsewhere I have used the following script to equalise div tags
CODE:
I tried this for my div tags but because they initially start with display:none it sets the height of them to zero. Is there a simple way to make all of these the same height whilst they are hidden?
I have a div (representing a form) with a number of images positioned absolutely within it. The images represent buttons and what I'd like to do is click on one of the images/buttons and the whole form to fade out with the exception of the selected button which merely changes it's opacity from 1 to 0.5 (to remind the user it was clicked). Here's the code I'm using:
However, despite referencing the elements in a number of ways (they have unique id's), every time I run this, $(this) won't show - the opacity is being set but it seems to remain steadfastly invisible whilst the parent div is invisible/hidden - am I barking up completely the wrong tree here ?
Ive got the following code which I have posted underneath, and what I am trying to do is hide the text which hasa span class "sp-text". When the userhovers over oneofthe images I want the text associated to that image to appear in the info-text div.
Sosearching through the web and coming across many examples, I thought the followingcode wouldhidebut it doesnt.
I need help putting together a script that will take all standard text on a page and translate it to another language (spanish or german).
So if I post this script on my blog at any given time (in the comment section) it will change the language for all viewers. Where do I start? Will this work on both FF and IE6/7?
I've set up two buttons to dynamically load in content. However for some reason the content only loads on the first time you click a button. The transition function does receive the correct variables however. The fade0ut animation also doesn't take affect whilst the replaceWith() function is inside the transition function.
Is there a way in Javascript or Jquery to return an array of all objects underneath a certain point, ie. the mouse position. Basically, I have a series of images which link to various web pages but I have a large semi transparent image positioned over the top of the other images. I want to find the href of the background image that the mouse pointer clicks over.
I have been handed the task of updating and maintaining a web application, written in ASP and Javascript, that takes complex user inputs in HTML form and submits them to server-side ASP pages for processing. The problem is, the user inputs can become very complex, and the way this application was developed, the inputs are all concatenated into monstrously long strings of text that are then submited as <hidden> inputs in HTML forms and parsed by the server-side ASP. This results in hideous strings that go on and on like johnsmith~1232^01^Yes^no~~|43|april
etc. etc. This code is an incredible pain to maintain and update. There has got to be a better way to do this. I am required to use javascript and vbscript in ASP pages on the client side, and ASP pages for processing data on the server side. I can't switch to a different technology, or use .NET, or anything like that. I have to use JS and VBScript to get intricate and lengthy user inputs and submit them for processing. I would like to store these inputs in objects somehow and then get the data from those objects, if possible.
My web page has one unordered list that disappears in Firefox. The unordered list in question has the class="dir". I double-checked the source code and verified the markup's semantics. Everything looked fine. So I placed the code in the W3C validator and it passed with no errors. Then I placed a regular unordered list with no class before the previous unordered list. Upon a reload, the new unordered list did not render, yet the unordered list with the "dir" class appeared. The whole situation was strange.
After reviewing web page with the DOM inspector, the disappearing list had been assigned {display: none}. Apparently, my JavaScript for TreeMenu functionality was the culprit. I attempted to debug the JavaScript. Sadly, my JavaScript knowledge is elementary even though I successfully implemented the approach from http://www.bakketun.net/listmenu/. When my web page became more convoluted, the JavaScript began faltering along its seams.
Here are my discoveries while debugging (using Venkman). The elementHasClass() should match the "element.ClassName" with "TreeMenu." If not, the function return false. Unfortunately, another function passes the div element to the setMenu(); then the said function assign the display attribute; block or none.
But I can not pinpoint where the code goes down the wrong path; needless to say develop a solution.
Please review the site below and let me know if you have suggestions. View source and search for class="dir"; the disappearing list has the text "test." Problematic code JavaScript area may include the line listed below. This posting was intended as a short description. Further clarification will be gladly provided if someone shows interest in a particular aspect. I have pages of notes on the debugging process.....
I am trying to implement JavaScript that will remove a table row in frame [left], and append it to a table in frame [right]. The browser is IE6.
I've played with several approaches for quite a bit of time, but none of them seem to work. The removed row does not seem to be able to go across the frame boundaries.
Here is the code in the target frame [right] that is invoked by a button in frame [left]: Code:
I have a nested listview in my app which creates table inside table at runtimei need to get value of td from second tables tr where i have row number of first tables tr?
At the moment I build those html elements line by line. Also OK .. as far as the resulting string has the opening and closing tag, eg.
"<li>aMenu2</li>".
As can be seen from above posted code there is a line "<div id="' + menuSlider + '" style="display:none">".Appending that -- AFAIS -- the .append is automatically (????) adding "</div>" which closes the statement.That breaks my idea of the whole concept! The menu part isn't included in the 'menuSlider '.How to change it -- NOT to have that "</div" added to it?
How can I access a DIV item in a given row/column, which itself is a cell of another table of some other given row/column??? I.e. an element of a table in a table! I have been trying to use GetElementByID, by Name, etc.. but not having much success.
What I'm currently doing is returning a list of images in a directory via a form list. I'm an asp guy so vbscript is the way I'm doing this:
<select name="image" size="10" onChange="generateimage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" align=left> <% Dim FSO Dim Files Dim File Dim Count Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set Files = FSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("./moms_images/")).Files Set FSO = Nothing Count = 0 For Each File In Files Select Case LCase(Right(File.Name, 3)) Case "jpg", "gif", "bmp", "png"
End Select Next Set File = Nothing Set Files = Nothing %> </select>
What I *hope* to be able to do is allow a file upload (also vbscript) from a pop-up window and, when the upload is complete, refresh the list (above) without reloading the page (AJAX fever, methinks)
The only thing that would make it even cooler would be to auto-select / display the newest upload otf (I use dhtml to display the images on-select ala dynamicdrives example).
I realize this is a fairly tall order, but would be greatful for any pointers or weblinks for this js-challenged soul to use to get started.
I am having trouble getting the selected option in a list of more than 20 items in sharepoint, The code below works for lists of 20 or less but not for lists of greater than 20. If any one has a snipet of code that will enable me to set a variable with the selected value from a complex dropdown it
Enter a search term and:1) Google Blog Results show up2) Twitter Search Results show up3) Google Maps with custom xml data shows upI have accomplished the first 2 parts - http://www.justincener.com/xmlI now want to add in Google Maps. The idea is to type in a athlete's name and have results come back from Google Blog Search (done), Twitter (done), and Google Maps. I only need to show 2-3 choices, so I want to create a custom Google Maps XML doc that corresponds to a few search terms. For example, when someone types in "Tom Brady", I want a Google Map to also come up along with the Google Blog and Twitter Results.
On the map, I want to plot 4 points showing his 4 next games. I think I know how to create the custom XML for GMaps, but I don't know how to implement it so that when someone enters input, the GMaps will show up. Can anyone get me started in the right direction please?Here is the JS so far that handles Google Blog Results and Twitter Results:
var errorCount=0; var twitter_link; function searchGoogle(query)
I am writing an accounting sofware, and I have difficulties with the form used to enter the debit and credit for a given transaction. I have used the Jquery validation plugin demo, but I don't know how to hide a specific input cell and replace it by blanks. In accounting, you have either a credit or a debit. So I have an indicator tick box at the beginning of each line which defines whether the line is a debit or credit, and if so it hides the credit cell or debit cell.
This isn't working. I'm using the code below to try to apply the href attribute of the first td in a row with class DataFormListTDDataGridItem and apply it to all td elements in that row (effectively want to make entire row clickable and direct it to the href specified by the href attribute in the first td of the row) -
