I'm relatively new to jQuery and have just been learning the basics/playing around with plugins etc. I'm building a site that uses a jQuery page easing (where is scrolls smoothly down to an anchor element on the same page) - however, the script isn't working great in opera despite me trying all suggested fixes, so i have decided to have opera just page jump as per the default browser action.
My question is - Is there a way of a) detecting which browser the user is using and then if it's NOT Opera, writing the pageEase script to the page?
I'm going to make an attempt at coding a nice tree menu that is decent with browser support.
I want the tree to be displayed on all browsers (well, within a decent range). Of course, on older browsers, the menu won't be as functional.
Now, I'm going to be combining the javascript with a server-side language (asp.NET) and I'll be able to do some basic browser detection on the server.
But, I read about javascript object detection and am wondering how well that works exactly.
Like, what if a browser that doesn't support objects period tries to run some object detection code? Also, which browsers support user defined objects?
See, I'm thinking of breaking down the script in 3 categories. Browsers that won't get any javascript... these would be the browsers that don't support object detection, browsers with basic javascript... with these I would be able to code my own object and I would test for different features. And then there would be the browsers that can run it all.
So, basically, my question is what browsers support what features and how should I break down my code between them? A long time ago (back in the Netscape 4 / IE4 days) I did some javascripting, but since then I haven't really done any. I remember that NS4 didn't support div tags but supported layers... anyway, it got really messy.
I am totally new to jQuery and no good knowledge on javascript. However, I was assigned a task, to convert a javascript program to jQuery due to compatibility problem on browsers like Chrome and Safari. My program originally use javascript xmlDoc.load('....') to read XML file, and then use document.write statement to write html tables on client side. Something like this (the sample below may got lots of syntax problem as I jut want to show the major part):
Code: document.write('<TABLE >'); var y=x[0].getElementsByTagName('NoOfRows'); for (i=0; i<=noofrows-1 && i<=y.length-1; i++){ document.write(' <TD>'); document.write(z[j].getElementsByTagName('RecordDetails')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; }
Now I changed to use jQuery, I can read the XML file elements. However, when I try to write the table, it failed:
I have a client that has ads on her website that really slow down the site. These ads are called by an off site javascript file and I want to use a jQuery(document).ready or similar method to call these files after all of the site content has loaded. But these files contain document.write functions to add more javascript files. Since I want to load the files after everything else has loaded, this in turn makes the page blank and then loads the ad. Is there a way to position where document.write will write to?
So I need script, which will detect users browser, and if browser will be IE, then show some link in content, if browser is FireFox or Opera, then hide that link. Link looks like:
I'm working on a website that will basically embed a widget/frame sent by a handler into a user's current page. The user basically adds a script tag to where they would like the HTML to be. The script tag has their settings and is basically a document.write that calls all the code that we want displayed.So here's my problem. We have a map that we need to add in a specific section, and to get the map we have to call another script tag. So we end up having a script tag (map) embedded in another script tag (the code for the widget/frame) or we end up having to document.write inside a document.write.
Now this works just fine and as expected in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Internet Explorer and Opera wait until the first document.write is completely finished before calling the embedded one. Of course the problem with this, is that it takes the map out of the document's flow and just appends it to the bottom left of the page. Since the rest of the page has already been called, there's no way to move the interior "map" script.Any ideas? Basically just trying to figure out how (if even possible) to render an embedded script tag in Internet Explorer and be able to place it properly. I've tried everything that I can think of, including AJAX and Google's unescape script.
I have some html code i would like to be printed to the page only if the browser has javascript enabled. I have tried to use document.writeln() but the string i want to print bot contains some ' and " in it. I don't know how to set the delimiters of the string that is passed as argument so that i don't get an error in the page.
I've have got this script, the only thing I want to be changed is the first part. It has to detect IE version 6 instead of just "Microsoft Internet Explorer". Can somebody help me out? I tried "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6" but that doesn't work.
I want to know the height of the viewable portion of a page (minus scrollbar) in Opera and Mozilla.
For Opera, I could use document.body.clientHeight. Unfortunately, this won't work in Mozilla because Mozilla also subtracts the sizes of the top and bottom margins.
For Mozilla, I could use document.documentElement.clientHeight. Unfortunately, this won't work in Opera because Opera returns the height of the entire page, not just the viewable portion.
So I have two options:
1) Use browser detection code to determine if the user is running Opera or Mozilla, and then use the appropriate clientHeight code.
2) Use window.innerHeight. This is supported by both Opera and Mozilla, however it returns the height of the viewable portion of the page *including* the scrollbar. Is there any way to determine the width of a scrollbar? If not, then I would have to make an assumption and subtract the hardcoded width of the scrollbar from window.innerHeight... but only if the scrollbar is present, is there a way to determine that?
Well after playing around a little I have created a solution that works although it appears a little chunky. The problem was finding the browser size to use the width as a variable for size conditional aspects to a site. Code:
I am looking for a detailed and correct browser detection script. Preferable a one that does not detect based on the UA string, but detects using DOM model or tests for functions, etc...
I'd like it to return OS, Browser and version as a separate variables.
I am writing an application that (unfortunately) will work only with certain browsers and operating systems. Does anyone have a link to a good "browser/OS detection script"?
I'm looking for something simple that I can just include in each page of my html code, and us it like this:
I have an html form where IE and Firefox work very differently. So, it'd be useful to know what browser is in use. I found this script and put it in my html code...
In the php I do a echo code... but it's always empty... I figure I've got something obvious goofed up, but what?
ALSO, when I run it in IE 8.0, on screen it says "Microsoft Internet Explorer", but it SAYS Browser version: 4 - But I'm using version 8.
AND, when I run it in Firefox version 3.5.5 it SAYS "Netscape" and Browser Version: 5.
I voluntarily contribute on eBay's member-to-member Photos/HTML community forums along with a handful of other contributors.We often have eBay members that post on the forums that have trouble uploading images to eBay for the items that they want to sell. To properly help and diagnose these member's issues, we need to know information about their system, such as the browser that they are using, browser version, Adobe flash version, etc.
I've been seeking for an online tool that can detect info regarding one's system. There are various tools online to detect detailed info about one's system, such as this one, but they either give out too much information, or does detect everything I'd like to see answered.
I would like to have a custom script made that will detect the following information:web browser
browser version, including sub-version OS platform adobe flash version, including sub-version
[code]....
the tool will detect the above information automatically, or upon user input, and send the info to a text box where the user can copy the generated info regarding their system and paste it on the forums for volunteer helpers to look at.
I am working on creating a document where you check a bunch of checkboxes to select what to include, then click on a button. A function then opens a new window and writes the HTML code to run scripts in .js files to populate the page. Code:
I have been searching for a way to trap changes done to the document object (mainly by the function document.write();).
Example of code that doesn't work:
function myFunction() { ed.document.onchange = doFunction(document.body.innerHTML); ed.document.open(); ed.document.write('Hello'); ed.document.close(); }
function do_function(body) { alert(body); }
It only fires when the page loads, not when I change the text. You are free to use any event that works, but i think onchange was the one to fit this problem. The alert will write the initialpage, but will never write the tekst 'Hello' that is the new change.
Any javagurus out there know a solution to pick up any fired events triggered by document.write();
I am trying to write a bunch of text onto a new document using document.write() and somehow need to format it to include line breaks.
For example: Code JavaScript: document.write(Line 1); document.write(Line 2);
I have tried including and it does not work. I have also tried document.writeln() and that also does not work. From what I have found on the Internet, one (if not both) of those methods should have worked.
i've designed a site using firefox as my primary browser. (note: i'm on an old mac so limited to only what i can run on 10.2.8) i tweaked it for safari, and then took the stuff on a jump drive to the library and tweaked it for IE6 on a pc.
what i need to do now is either hack the CSS for safari and ie (and eventually others once i get some feedback); or, use javascript to load the correct style sheet.
i've just spent two days--thursday and today since since 10 a.m.--trying to figure out first the js, and then the hack methods to no avail. (well, more, really over the past few weeks, but the two-day immersion has me totally fried.)
i'm reached the point where time is extremely critical. once i get this out in an acceptable form, i can spend more time on the learning curve.
I am getting differences in the rendering between Safari and Firefox. I've tried to come up with a JS script to sort them out but I am not having much luck. Safari always produces "red", the same as FF or nothing at all (where I substitute 'vendor' for 'userAgent', etc). Here's my little test program to isolate the basic code:
<link href="testcss/ff.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" > window.onload=detectbrowser; function detectbrowser() { var browser_type=navigator.userAgent; alert("the user agent is:" + browser_type); var browser_type=navigator.userAgent.indexOf("AppleWebKit"); if(browser_type != -1) {
<body> <div id="testbox"></div><br /> <ul> <li>Red is for Firefox</li> <li>Green is for Internet Explorer</li> <li>Yellow is for Safari</li> </ul> </body> </html>
What's even odder, Safari won't even execute the ....else part of the if statement when I'm trying to detect using 'userAgent'.
[URL]If you go to that site on Firefox, the "Return Code #" expands. But if you use IE, you'll see that it doesn't.I could add a fix in there for the fields if they were static, but if you see my javascript, they are dynamically loading fields.
I am using a script I found on a jQuery board [URL] and it works for them, but not for me because my syntax is probably wrong. And they also are just using 1 field and not near-unlimited dynamically loading fields like I am.How would I add in a fix to have the browser 'only' use the expansion if the user is using IE6 or IE7?
