How can I dynamically get all files name from a directory?I need to have a directory with pictures, and when I copy new ones, on my website to have them listed inside of a div. If jQuery can't do this, there is otherpossibility
View 1 RepliesI need to make a page that will make a list of all the files in its folder and display the names of the files on the page. It needs to be able to work offline.
I know how to do this with php server side code, but this needs to be able to run on a memory stick. Is Javascript the best way to do this?
A script to read the current roots directory or filenames-list into a Javascript array?
Some say it is only possible by calling a JAVA applet method and returning the array as a public variable for Javascript to use...if so, has anyone done it and can provide a sample?
I am only trying to read directories & image files offline, on the current root level or perhaps up a folder, so I hope there are no security access issues to deal with.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone have a link or search term for a way to allow the user to upload a list of file names to a web form? I do not need the actual files, just the file names -- name only or full path, doesn't matter. I can live with either just pointing to a directory and grabbing every file name in it, or requiring the user to select all the desired files from within a directory list. (My guess is that the JavaScript sandbox for a web form won't allow this, but I figured I'd check with you experts before looking into other possibilities, e.g. Java applet, etc.) I'm already using the JQuery library for some other stuff, in case there's something I should be looking for there or one of its plug-ins.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI like using PHP to dynamically set styles according to what directory the page is in. I'm doing a project where PHP isn't an option, so I'm trying to do it with javascript. The following isn't working - anything obvious wrong it?

I have a form, and i am trying to add the values of 5 fields into one javascript variable. Then i need an ajax function to search a directory for a php file made from these variables and return a "file exists" or "file doesnt exist" message to the form.
For example, assume the following values have been inputted into the fields;
Field1 (Manufacturer) - Kawasaki
Field2 (Model_Name) - GPZ500
Field3 (Nickname) - None
Field4 (Market) - UK
Field5 (Year) - 2000
Then javascript needs to add the values of Field1 - Field5 (and add a few bits)to create (for example):
Kawasaki_GPZ500_None_UK_2000.php
Then i need ajax to search a web directory for the file above, and if it exists return a link, or if it doesnt exist tell the user it doesnt exist.
im hoping that i can use ajax to do this search without clicking any buttons etc. unfortunately i have very little knowlegde of javascript and ajax and dont have a clue how i can go about implementing this.
i know how to do it by posting the variables to the next page and doing the check using php - but i would like instant validation as soon as the form fields have been entered.
There is a slideshow on my website that reads in the address of local images and puts them in a slideshow rotation to be displayed on the page. I currently have to "hard code" the addresses in, similar to the JavaScript below:
However, I want to be able to place images in the Images directory without having to make sure the files are named the same as in the code. I would like JavaScript to go out to a local directory, see what's in there, grab anything in jpeg format (regardless of the name), and put it in the slideshow rotation.
I came up with some code to load javascript files dynamically. But I've got problems..
When the script element is dynamically added to the head section of html, i think that the document.ready event fires once again and therefore the code sort of runs twice.
In the html page I call this method:
In the script test.js I have the function SayHi():
The SayHi method never gets called and alert('begin') & alert('getScript') get called twice in this sequence:begin begin getScript getScript.
Consider the following code as seen in the Scriptaculous library:
Code:
require: function(libraryName) {
// inserting via DOM fails in Safari 2.0, so brute force approach
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+libraryName+'"></script>');
}
This will make the browser load more libraries, which is cool.
However, when using Content-Type application/xhtml+xml, Firefox gives an error in the JS Console:
Code:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Object cannot be created in this context" code: "9" nsresult: "0x80530009 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR)" location: "http://localhost/script/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js Line: 26"]
It seems that XHTML 1.1 documents sent with the correct application/xhtml+xml cause Firefox not to like document.write(). Fair enough
How can I change the above code to inser the script through DOM? Would that be something like:
document.createElement('javascript');
I have been struggling with a cross browser solution to loading
external javascript files on the fly.
I have been successful using the following code in IE6:
var newScr = document.createElement("SCRIPT");
newScr.src = "newScr.js";
newScr.type="text/javascript";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(newScr);
I believe the reason is that IE is loading the external file
syncronously while Firefox is not. Is there an onload event for
creating an element (if so I do not see it in Venkman). I have seen the
solution of using XMLHTTP to load the script but I am trying to get
around any dependency (atleast at this stage of the library) on
activex.
Here's what I'd like to do using pure JavaScript and HTML (no Ajax or PHP): My website loads different JavaScript files dynamically which contain a bunch of data, that I will display on the website. The dynamical loading function is placed in the <HEAD> and looks like that:
Code:
function loadJsFile(filename){
console.log("loading js file")
var fileref=document.createElement('script')
fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript")
fileref.setAttribute("src", filename)
fileref.onload = dataIsLoaded;
if (typeof fileref!="undefined"){
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref)
}}
The dataIsLoaded method in there is a callback that is triggered when the JavaScript file has been loaded:
Code:
function dataIsLoaded(){
console.log("loading js file done")
dataLoaded = true;
data = new Data();
}
DataLoaded is simply a global boolean that is per default false and the 'data' variable contains all the data I want to display on my site. While the JavaScript file is being loaded, the browser continues building the site. When it gets to the <body> that wants to access some information from the data variable, I get the unsurprising error that 'data' is undefined. I looked for a way to wait until 'data' is defined and then continue with building the <body> but couldn't find a solution.
Alternatively I wanted to reload the divs in the <body> when the 'data' is available:
Code:
function reloadDivs(){
if(dataLoaded){
console.log("data available, reloading divs");
document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML = document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML
}else{
console.log("data is not yet available");
setTimeout('loadReportData();', 500);
}}
This does not work, I get a blank div when I do that.
I'm trying to create a function to load a js file and instance a object.
I'm trying something like this:
Code:
function Load(element)
{
var e = document.createElement("script");
e.type = "text/javascript";
[Code]....
I'm creating the files with the same name as the object. I'm trying to load a file/object name Manager. It's loading the js file, but it says that the object does not exits.
What's the best way to load a js file and create the instance of the object dynamically?
I'm working on a project for work and I'm having some issue trying to distribute to program the smoothes as possible, on idea I had was using Javascript, Im kind of new at this so ill explain to you what Im hoping to do. Basically Im looking for a onload= function when the .hta opens it would get a file from lets say G:\path\path1\path2\file.hta to C:\path\path1\folder So it would take the file and copy past it in another folder from a different directory. If a popup message could popup saying completed
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a class that dynamically loads scripts and css files, but ran into a problem I just can't seem to solve. Below is a simplified version of the class:
Code:
function DynamicResources(baseUrl)
{
this.baseUrl = baseUrl;
}
DynamicResources.prototype.loadScript = function(file, onLoad)
[Code]...
The loadScripts function should keep track of the scripts that have finished loading by removing them from the loadingFiles array. The problem is, that the changes made to the array in one call to the local function fileLoaded won't show up in the next call (no elements are ever deleted). I suspect this has something to do with scoping rules, but I can't quit get a grip on it.

I'm trying to use the ajax load() method to load a file from a parent directory, e.g.
$("#divTests").load("../tests.htm");
But that doesn't work. I can load a simple html file from the same directory as my html file or a descendant directory, but not an ancestor directory. Nor can I load from an external server.
Is that just the way it is, or is their a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
