JQuery :: Accessing Window DOM Through Window Object
Jun 23, 2009
Goal: From window A, I want to manipulate the DOM of window B, where window B is the result of calling window.open(). My attempts are shown below, but Window B is never updated.
winRef = window.open("","Window B");
Try 1:
$(winRef).find("body").append("<div id=container>mr container</div>");
Try 2:
$(winRef).find("body").html("<div id=container>mr container</div>");
Try 3:
$(winRef.document.body).append("<div id=container>mr container</
div>");
Try 4:
$(winRef.document.body).html("<div id=container>mr container</div>");
The jQuery Core doc [URL] claims that it can wrap a window object. Browser is FF2.0
I'm trying to accessing the Parent window fom a sub window previously opened using window.open.I'm using firebug to t yand debug, and it shows that this DOM entry exists..window.opener.location.href.But trying to access it gives "window opener is null" error.I've tried all these, and get the various errors tagged on the end...
<script language="JavaScript"> //alert(opener.location); // = opener is null //alert(opener.location.href); // = opener is null[code]......
Is that possible I can assign an window object variable to an already opened window? With window.open(), we can get a window object from opened window. If a window has already opened, is there any way I can attach that window with an object variable in javascript? Because I want to communicate with that window.
but what I need is, after the new window is popped up, the opener will be redirected to another page, I want the another page able to control the popup window is it possible? is there something like getWindowById.
it seems to be a problem if I need to access data() of the elements from another window, like for example $(anyElement,window.opener.document).data() which returns null when in fact there is some data actually stored. I heard that data is stored in the $.cache, which is window-related, so that's understandable, but how can I work around that?
Certain plugins that use $.data no longer work correctly because of that. E.g., I can't use linkselectmethods on linkselects located in the window.opener.document. Again, is there any workaround?
i want to send a html / javascript 'document.write' object from the first window to the textarea of second window to send it to email, The code snippet is thus:
FIRST WINDOW _____________________________________________________________________________ <html> <head> <script language="javascript">
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to access another IE browser window using JavaScript (assuming the two browser windows are running in the same instance).
The purpose of this task is so that if a user hits ctrl+n in IE, the new window is "aware" of the other instance.
I have got a following problem with using javascript:
I have a HTML page with pictures' thumbnails. After clicking on any thumbnail, I would like to open a new window with the original size picture. In the main window with thumbnails, I have got following important stuff: Code:
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
I display tooltips on my page that appear to the right of form elements. But if the element is too far to the right, the tooltip gets cut off. in that case i would like it to appear to the left.
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
This should probably be pretty basic and I've been googling around as to the best approach to take and still a bit confused. I have a form that currently submits a form to a new window using jquery (shown below.) The form once submitted could go through a few redirects within the new window (it's calling some facebook stuff.)
All I'd like is when the initial new window pops up is for a spinner to appear in the popup window until the first response is returned. Is there a decent example on how to do best achieve this?
I have done thus far is set up a simple Ajax request to my server to log in a user (This part seems to work just fine). The problem that I am incurring is that I would like to close the window if the user has been successfully logged in and not close the window (aka - show the form errors via php) if the user did not input the correct credentials.
This is what I have got so far (which simply logs in a user): -note: the php currently just spits out Sucess or Fail to the jquery ajax request and I would like to add a way to verify if logged in then close window but if not keep window open
This seems to work fine and dandy to just return Success or Fail to the #results div but is there a way to verify if the user is logged in success or not or at least a way to catch such validation that is sent back from the php script?
I was also playing with adding the below code after the $.post request but it obviously just closes the window no matter what the response.
In Firefox, the JavaScript code an interact with the document object to affect HTML structure and CSS style rules as well as define behaviors for given events.
Can the JavaScript code also modify elements of the window object, like menus, not just enable or disable them in a new window? If so, how?
I have a window with a form that is accessed directly. I would like to pop open another window from it and make the new window the parent/opener. I've tried the following but I keep getting 'opener is null' after trying to access the new parent's Javascript methods.
I have tried this using both frames and window.open(). In either case, if the new content comes from a different site than the original (or comes from a site and original is a local file) the document object is inaccessible. The new window object seems to have no document and no all[] or just about anything else useful. If the new content came from the same site (or local computer) as the original, everything seems to be where it belongs. I have looked all over and can find no references to this problem. Is this some security issue that everybody but me knows about?
I am seeing this on IE 6.0.2800.1106. The files are created in notepad so there should be no surprises there.
is it possibile to detect and prevent through javascript the opening of a new window caused by a embedded flash object? In the html code this embedded object resides within a given div with id.
I would want to know about it because every time I open the page, the flash embedded object opens another window, and it is a little bit noisy.
i have a main.asp page where users can select items from dropdowns and listboxes. i have a view report button where i have a onclick property which triggers a javascript function. the function combines all the screen inputs and based on that generates a report in a new window. i have used window.open for this.the problem is, when i close the child window, come back to the main window and click the button again (with all the input fields already selected), the same report should be generated again. instead, i am getting the error : "Object doesn't support the property or method".
i have to refresh the main.asp page, select all the input fields again and then click on the button to generate the report.why am i losing the objects of the parent page after doing window.open?
I have a cross domain iframe resizing script (using postMessage) that works perfectly in Chrome, FF, Safari and IE9 - browsers that use addEventListener I'm trying to get it to work in IE8 by adding what I thought was the right language for attachEvent, but it's not working in IE8 - I just get 'Object doesn't support this property or method' - again just in IE8.
I'm writing a program that involves a network of interconnected nodes (or simply objects in my example below). It depends on being able to access properties of an object's linked objects (a bit oddly worded, sorry)...Problem is I'm not sure how to properly access those properties... see below please.
<script> //This is an example of a problem im having in my own code... //I want to access the name of the object within the links array wintin the object...
I'm trying to figure out this script doesn't display any text in the child window and why I'm getting the null or not an object error. It's taken directly from the Javascript and DHTML cookbook (not listed in the book errata on o'reilly website). Initially I get an error "window.dialogArguments.yourName" is null or not an object. Then I fill out the field on the form, press the button and the child window does display but there is no text inside the child window.
Questions: Should I be declaring an object that isn't currently declared like "window"? or is "window" a built in object that doesn't need declaring? do I need to assign the dialogDoc.html or "result" to "document" somehow? It looks like they have me putting a value in "result" then never actually using "result"... confused... Using ie 6.02800...Suggestions? gj
<html> <head> <title> Launch a Modal Dialog</title> <script type="text/javascript">
function openDialog(form){ var result = window.showModalDialog("dialogDoc.html", form, "dialogWidth:300px; dialogHeight:201px; center:yes"); } </script> </head> <body> <h1>Internet Explorer Modal Dialog Window</h1> <hr /> <form name="sample" action="#" onsubmit="return false"> Enter your name for the dialog box:<input name="yourName" type="text" /> <input type="button" value="Send to Dialog" onclick="openDialog(this.form)" /> </form> </body> </html>
I'm a little puzzled over the possibility of accessing an array. I've declared the previd id - in the proxy.invoke call which works just fine (we have already implemented an .each loop which also works. My problem is this - after accessing the proxy.invoke function, the previd is populated correctly with push but after the call, we cannot seem to access the previd array to make a join to a string. Here's the basics of the code.
var previd = []; proxy.invoke("validdateIDCard", p_caregiverid, function(validaterID) { var valcard = validateID; previd.push(valcard); }, onPageError); var finalvalue = previd.join("|"); <-- this is where the problem lies - cannot seem to read the variable...
I have an object whose name is mural. I have assigned the name mural to the title of an anchor element. When user clicks and element I want to store the title of the anchor in a variable called sprite. I then want to access that object whose name corresponds to the sprite variable string.
Here is my code: HTML Code: var mural= new Object(); mural.top='0px'; mural.left=-'510px';
var stamps= new Object(); stamps.top='0px'; stamps.left=-'1886px'; var sprite=$(this).attr('title'); $(".image-holder").css("background-position",'sprite.top, sprite.left');
It's not working because the the variable sprite is just a reference to $(this).attr('title'), how do I make it reference the object? Oh and I know that .cc jquery statement probably wont work, I'm not sure yet of the correct way to have two values that don't need quotations in as the second argument.
