JQuery :: Desktop Shortcuts For All Browsers / Platforms Using It?
Jun 13, 2011
I've been searching for a script that creates a desktop shortcut for a URL. The script must work for all versions of Windows and Mac. I haven't found anything useful in my research yet. I know it sounds pretty basic but I am not sure where the limitations are when jQuery and the clients' browser interact with the OS.
Does anybody know if there has been any groundbreaking on this subject with jQuery?
I am trying to set up some code to control a mouseover popup image. I have the script that works except in certain browsers the results are different.This is the page: (just mouse over the first players name).Here is the script:
<script type="text/javascript"> function ShowPopup(hoveritem) {
I'm trying to get an iframe and call a function that is define inside the iframe, every thing is working OK in IE and Safari, when I try to do the same in Firefox is not working. The followoing is the code I'm using, how to get the iframe window, I try also getElementByID but also is not working
It's not something that's ever really come up before, but I'm re-creating a desktop application as a web-app and I'm coming across a number of places where:1. A select box may be pre-filled with data from a database, and2. Changing that select box affects the rest of the page.I'm looking for a neat way to perform an action that could happen when the page loads, and/or when the select changes. Knowing my luck it's something stupidly easy.For example, some code that is currently in progress:
switch($('option:selected',$transaction).text()){ // On Load case 'Comparable': case 'For Sale / To Let': $.each($priceFields, function(){
Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, Take Your CSS to the Desktop with Adobe AIR!.
The only book that covers Adobe AIR with AJAX (html, javascript) is Larry Ullman's Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide
All the other books cover Flex (MXML) and Flash (Actionscript) and expect you to know those things first.
You'll see I'm a gamer as well as a web/desktop developer and I have built so many application in both technologies.
But yesterday I was amused by something I saw. I like to play this Combat Arms game from Nexon a very well developed FPS online action game, scince I downloaded the update I noticed that when I double click on the game icon it actually open a browser where I login (in the past I log in from the game itself) when I login I press a button IN THE SITE where it says "START GAME" and the game automatically starts.
now the question is "HOW THE HECK DID THEY DO THAT?" [code]...
i followed my first AJAX tutorial on the web: [URL]
the AJAX is working fine on the site itself, but when i download the source codes provided with the tutorial, it won't run from my machine. i checked this with several tutorials and all same. i.e. no results when run from the desktop machine.
I just came across following demo application: [URL] I have a few questions about this:What is the right approach to start a project, which have heavy use of JS? how to choose which library is best, or one should develop his own library specific to requirements to keep the file size smaller?
I am working on getting my tumblr blog on my web site and there's a feature in the template that I would like to use on my site but after going through lots of sites offering tools, I couldn't find one the same.
this is my blog [URL] when hovering over a photo, you see the zoom button, clicking it makes the picture bigger and fades the background out.
Anyone know where I can get a script to do this? Has anyone used one of these? Do they automatically work on all images on the page without extra code on each image?
is possible with JavaScript to drag and drop a .jpg from your desktop to a small square box on you website. On drop the picture has to upload the file and store it on the server.
I 'm working on a menu which imitates a desktop application menu toolbar (like this on your firefox ).Here's a demo[1] The menu is an <ul> containing <li> elements and <ul>s for sub-navigation.[2] User clicks the top-nav <li> with the arrow indicator and sub-menu pops out.[3] By clicking again the sub-menu hides.[4] Also by clicking outside the top-nav <ul>, a visible sub-menu hides (i used focusout event for this one).[5] Last one, a usability enhancement. Once a user clicks a top-nav <li> element with arrow indicator, he doesn't have to click again the rest <li>s with sub-nav. For instance, in the demo, if i click "Articles" and the menu pops out i shouldn't have to click "Games" in order to display it's own sub-nav.I'm having problems with [2]-[3], like arrow flickering as i click but before releasing the mouse button.umber [5] is a big mystery to me, i 'm not at this level right now.
how do I change my html/javascript so that if I drag and drop a link from a webpage to the desktop in such a way that the name of the shortcut created is not the URL of the link but the link itself?
e.g. if the link is
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com"> MS </a>
then the name of the desktop icon should be 'MS' and not http://www.microsoft.com
My code runs great in every browser but IE6 IE7 and IE8. it breaks and causes all scripts to fail. i setup Visual Web Developer in my VM like a blog post told me, and when i load the page i get Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method that seem to break on this line
I need to shed some light on browsercompatibilityon my website.here's the breakdown:
-website runs smoothly on Firefox and Opera -website runs slugishly on Safari and Chrome
now I understand that my code is not squashed down and formated for browsersuccess, but Im so perplexed why some browsers run itawesomelywhile the others run it as if it was os9.Also, I havent had a chance to cross check this site on other systems and computers so I would like to hearperformanceresults from real people
I posted this problem in the old mailing list, but I thought Id try here with a larger set of eyes.
My issue seems to concern webkit browsers. I am sending information from a form with a jQuery click function. I am loading the response from one form that is a DIV called rightContent to the same DIV and passing the
I have a simple code to display div's depending on which option is selected from a dropdown.Everything works fine (even in IE), but I get the little yellow triangle on the buttom-left of the page in IE: "error on page"... I really can't see where the problem is, the script isn't that long [code]
