JQuery :: Letting User Save Text?
Oct 11, 2011
I've wrote what (at least in my mind) and awsome report generator for a group who uses my server. The user gets all the data from the server via the server's normal reporting tools, and then sorts/shows/hides/formats columns using javascript/jquery (saves server cycles). There is only one slight problem (think "grand canyon" slight), once a user has a form he or she wants, then the user needs to save the tab separated value form of the report to disk.
I can output the TSV into a DIV (and probably an IFRAME I'm guessing), and do for display purposes. However, the users need to copy/paste at this point, which is rather user-unfriendly. Is there a way to either prompt a file download/save (without making a call to the server and wasting time), or opening up a new tab with just the desired text, so the user can save it?
EDIT: I'd rather not replace the whole page that generates the report, as the user probably doesn't want to lose his or her work in formatting setings, and my want to generate multiple reports from one dataset/query, without having to rewrite the query.

I'm working on a webpage which is completely self-sufficient. This means if you copied the source you would be able to load it locally without any glitches from your computer. I want to embed a "Save As" feature into this document using only javascript or jquery. For various reasons I do not have access to a server-side language to perform this action. I've done some research but can't seem to find a definitive way to do this.
My goal:
User clicks "Save As HTML" button which triggers jquery to copy the source of the page and present it to the user as a mypage.html download. My fall back approach will be to open a new tab with just the desired html and instruct the user to manually "File -> Save As". However, this is very undesirable and I would like to find a solution to fulfill the goal above.

I need to write code to prompt the user to save the changes before the user session expires. And this should happen only when the user makes any changes, if he doesnt make any changes, I should not be prompting him. For this I need to check if any fields are modified in the page. I need a generalised code that goes in the header or footer page of the application, so that I dont have to make any changes to the existing 100 pages.

It will be best to use server side scripting like php for it , because user can disable his javascript in that condition your code won't work

I have a confirm message box which asks the user whether they wish to take a survey. At the moment the confirm box appears each time the page is loaded. Would there be a way that when the user selects OK to take the survey this is remembered, so when the users next visit the page the box doesn't appear?

On one of my sites, I have a reather involved page (searchable map).
When the person leaves the page then all the AJAX generated
information is lost. Is there a way that I can retain all this data
in a cookie or so or how would you recommend I saved all the users
information (perhaps using a database on the serverside).

I am trying to design a system that allows users to draw on a whiteboard with different colors, save their drawing into hidden input boxes in the form on the page, then they can click Save Logo to save it to process it through PHP. I have the whiteboard that allows them to draw, but I am lost as to how to get the thing to populate the hidden input boxes.
So, I have the following code:
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
[code]....
What I am trying to do is use the function mousedown(e) to include an event to update a hidden input box with the value of the TD's background color that the hidden input field is attached to, so that it can be tracked when the user hits Save Logo at the bottom of the page. When they hit Save Logo, I want the form to post to itself, go through each of the input hidden fields and capture the color for each table cell, then generate an image based on the generated array, save it to a file on the server with the user's $_SESSION['userid'] as the filename + .jpg.
The problem is, though, that I do not know how to tell JavaScript to do this in the function mousedown(e) code. Also, look in the function table_create and see if I am naming the hidden input boxes correctly; not sure if it will generate the wanted result.
Just a note: I can handle all the PHP handling of the form, I just need help with the Javascript.
Edit: I attached the entire script/page to this post because so many functions rely on each other to operate, and I'm not exactly sure which function will need to be modified to get the desired result. Also, you can copy the code to a .php file to see what it looks like (as that may assist in demonstrating exactly what I'm trying to do, visually).
Edit 2: I suppose what I need to find is how to get the JavaScript to assign a value to the hidden input field that has the same id as the TD field that it needs to be linked to.

I'm trying to adapt a script I found online for a timer that goes in my webpage. The timer counts from 30 seconds down to 0. I've adapted it so that when it reaches 0 it goes back up to 30, but I was wondering how can I make it so that after a certain number of loops through the timer, it executes some other (non-JS) code instead of just doing the timer forever?I've introduced a variable t to try to do this, but when I put in if(t>1) {break} at the bottom, the timer doesn't work properly anymore (it doesn't display a number in the box).

I have created the text boxes dynamically(as many boxes as the user wants) and he can drag and drop the text boxes in the page. I need to create a dynamic line from one text boxes to other text boxes and delete the test boxes which the user does not want. I have created the dynamic graphic line. I know the values of the text boxes can be saved using php in the backend. But is there any way the values with the dynamically created boxes(with <div></div> elements, not with the text boxes) with values and graphics line can be saved online and the user when log-in again can retrieve the work that he saved? Can we code this either in javascript/php?

Alright, I'm using a Rooh.It WordPress plugin right now, but I don't like the way they do it, so I want to write my own code to do something similar.
I want the user to be able to select the text they want to highlight, and the background color of that text changes to whatever color they have selected.
How can I do this in JavaScript?
