I have used the code from Sitepoint Javascript anthology (page 130) to create a popup on my pages, however I have a list of pdfs each of which needs to open in a popup and the code only works with the very first in the list. the rest of the pdfs open up in the window as normal. How can I adapt this and would I have to separatly number each id: ?
View 1 RepliesOn some sites I have worked on, users can delete content from their site. When they go to delete an item, I take them to a page where I pull the item details of the item they are about to delete from the dbase, and say "Are you sure you want to delete so and so". They can choose Yes / No. Yes takes them to action that runs the SQL to delete the item from the dbase. No takes them to the previous page.
I have seen some sites that have managed this process differently, where, instead of being taken to another page, a little pop up box opens saying "Are you sure", with a Yes / No option on it. Yes takes you to delete the item, No leaves them on the page they are on.
Am I right that this method uses Javascript? I know that it won't work if javascript is turned off, but - most people don't turn it off...
I'm already past the basics of Javascript, and i need something that takes me to the other level and teaches me the new technologies and cool stuff (drag&drop, AJAX, OOP in javascript, maybe XUL...etc). So far i found these two books:
1. Sitepoint's "The JavaScript Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks".
2. Worx's "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Professional Guides)"
Both seems to cover very insteresting topics, but i can only buy one of them. So which one do you suggest?
and by the way, i've read the sample chapter 5 of Sitepoint's book, and it seems like the author(s) just put the solutions/codes there and let you figure them out on your own. Is this how the rest of the chapters are?
Anyone trying out the javascript drop down menus from the Sitepoint Javascript Anthology book might have noticed that in IE7 the sub menus are misaligned, they are offset to far to the right.
Has anyone else come across this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? It has unfortunately broken several of my menus, though if you just try the demo menus from the book in IE7 they also suffer the same problem.
What I am attempting to do is have a link/button on a page
(testpopup.cfm) that opens a popup page (popupwindow.cfm). The popup
page displays a resultset from a query and the selected record needs
to be passed through a query string/URL parameter to the original
calling page and will be available in the body onload event of the
calling page.
I open the popup window and display the query results, I then click on
a record and the record is then displayed in the calling form textbox
(txtOrg) - - - only the calling form appears in the POPUP window!
This is not what I need it to do. I need it to pass the URL parameter
to the calling page and close the popup. Here is the code from the
two pages. Can you shed any light on this? ....
i'm having the user input their state (from a drop down list) and type in a zipcode (there are 1,143 zip codes in the database to match to)..
what i want to happen is once the user selects the state they live in, and type in a zip code, i need the page to query the database if the user selected Ohio, and match the counties in the database with the zip code they entered, and then create a drop down list of the counties for them to select the one they live in Code:
I am starting to find more web pages that are using a query parameters
after the JavaScript file.
Example can be found at www.opensourcefood.com. Within the source
you'll see: <script src="/shared/scripts/common.js?revision=1.6"
type="text/javascript">.
I am trying to see if there is any big deal to this or a best practice
that is starting to creep up in the JavaScript community. If this is
used only as a way to distinguish what file of JavaScript being used
why not append something inside the file? Has anyone else seen this
or know of more reasons to do this?
I am making a webpage that can query a database table of employees
and return them in a html table. Currently I have submit buttons beside
each employee to open the page to edit their details. I have been using
php/HTML to do this, but wondered if it is safe to use javascript to
just click on the name of the employee to jump to the edit page. I've
been looking on the web for sometime about how to do this without any
luck. Any thoughts?
I have a Popup on my website which appears the first time someone leaves my home page. The problem is that it's intended for people who decided not to order, but it still appears when visitors go to my order page. Please can you tell me how to stop this happening, so that it only appears when people click away to a page other than my order page? Code:

I have never done any javascript at all but I think it can do what I want with ease.
Basically at the moment I have a link that calls a delete script written in php. The delete script just deletes and item from my mysql database. What I would like is a popup to appear when the link is clicked that asks for the user to confirm they wish to delete.
Could anyone either show and example or point me to a site that may have a tutorial or something.
I'm after creating a JavaScript effect on my site. I've just created a basic popup effect on the Loughbourgh Image which when clicked brings up a popup (which for some reason only works in IE at the moment). However this is static. What i want is whenever i hover over that image the popup appears but in relation to the cursor. So if the cursor moves the pop moves along with it.
I assume there is an effect such as this but i have had no luck finding it so can someone point me in the right direction please? Is there any similer posts regarding this subject or a tutorial i could learn from?
I've been trying to do this for days without success. Is there a way to open a popup window from within the php code? Example:
if (some_condition) {
open a popup page and load a file in it
break;
}
I have a very simple javascript popup that opens to a drive folder, e.g.
c: est
which is called as such:
<A HREF="javascript:popUp('C:/test')">Test Folder</A>
This displays the contents of the c: emp folder
but defaults to a view of "large icons." Is there
a way to make it default to a view of "details?"
I've seen this effect on other sites, but I don't know how to do
it. What I'm trying to do is enable the user to highlight a portion of
text on a webpage, then click an "edit" button and a little window will
popup with that highlighted text in an editable mode (or it could be
the entire paragraph tag that the highlighted text sits in). Then I
want them to be able to edit the text however they want, click a "save"
button, and the text updates within the webpage. I know how to do the
last part of this, but I don't know how to make the popup window work
and include the highlighted text.
Just a little background on this project: What I ultimately want to be
able to do is let the website's owner be able to update the contents of
her site whenever she wishes. This is what she wants because she
doesn't know html and doesn't want to learn it. She also doesn't want
to learn dreamweaver or any other wysiwyg editor. I would almost guess
that a similar project exists out there already, maybe not using
javascript, but I haven't been able to find it. Code:
i have a form like this on a page called emailform.htm:
<form method="post" onSubmit=NewWindow()>
<H3>From: <input type="text" name="from"></H3>
<H3>Message: <input type="text" name="body"></H3>
<input type="submit" value="Send the Message">
</form>
when submitted, it calls this function:
function NewWindow(){
window.open('sendmail.php', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=no,
toolbar=no, width=200, height=200');
}
two problems:
1. the form values are not getting passed over to sendmail.php.
2. after the popup window pops up and loads sendmail.php, the original page, emailform.htm, changes to an error page.
so, what do i need to do to get the form values to be passed, and how do i keep the original page either from changing at all, or, if thats not possible, get it to simply reload itself.
I have a site which uses a javascript fullscreen popup window which launches from the splash page (as well as a standard browser version for those with non-compliant browsers). All works well on both Netscape and IE, but if you're using Opera and you click on the "All other browsers" version, you get both the browser version and the popup version. This will probably be very irritating to Opera users. Unfortunately, I can't just program the popup for Opera compliance as well because it won't do fullscreen - it nests under the ad/control bars. Could someone look at it in Opera and maybe suggest a solution? Opera users don't make up a lot of my user base but I really prefer to be Opera-compliant.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have this irritation problem that i cnt sort out. I jave a menu on my website that uses javascript popup menus on mouse over.
But now the problem is that wen the menu appears, it is behind the dropdownlist on the site that is under the menu. This only hapens in IE and works fine in firefox. It does the same things with flash banners.
I'm having some trouble implementing a popup in firefox. I attached some
simplified code at the bottom. This is part of a firefox extension. What
happens is that a popup window is created, the popup window updates it's
data depending on what is shown on the main window. The problem comes when i
click the 'X' to close the popup window. it crashes firefox, and closes all
firefox windows. can somebody help me with this? why does this happen? I'm
99% sure the error comes from the form in the html code.
window.getNode = function (t)
{//stuff}
window.printNode = function (node)
{//stuff}
window.updateWindow = function (num, tag, inner) {
outputWindow.document.outputForm.nodeNum.value = num;
outputWindow.document.outputForm.nodeTag.value = tag;
outputWindow.document.outputForm.innerHTML.value = inner;
}
//popup
window.outputWindow = window.open('', 'outwindow', 'width=500,height=500');
//add contents to window
outputWindow.document.write("<html><body><form name='outputForm'>Node
number:<input type=text size=20 name='nodeNum' value=''><br>Node tag:<input
type=text size=10 name='nodeTag' value=''><br>Inner HTML:<input type=text
size=50 name='innerHTML' value=''></form></body></html>");
document.onmouseover = getNode;
I have a page where users click on a small thumbnail image to view a larger version of the image in a new window. But instead of just viewing the image file, I want them to view an HTML page that contains the image and a "Close Window" button. I know how to do that, and I know how to specify the size of the popup window. But...
What I'm trying to do is make the popup window just big enough for the image and the button, with perhaps a 10 pixel border around it. Since the images will vary in size, I can't hard code the width and height properties of the popup window. I need to have JavaScript measure the height and width of the image to calculate the dimensions for the popup window (and presumable this would have to be done before it opens the new window).
I have a normal web page that contains a link.
When the link is pressed a javascript popup window occurs asking the user for a choice.
The popup window then closes and I want also for the original page to be refreshed.
So how do I do the refreshing is my question.
I realise the reload command is relevant, but am unsure on how to tell the pop up window to refresh the original page.
I am just wondering how to create a modal popup using javascript. The
popup window shouldnt contain minimize,close and maximize buttons and
it should be resizable? I am trying using window.open but not getting
the desirable results.
i have a popup from the parent window which allwos the user to add in new location. when the lcoation has been added succesfully. then thewindow closes and the parent gets refreshed. In particular, just the location listbox gets updated with the new value. the location listbox i generated from the database using asp.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm just restating my "site abandonment" post but with a clearer title as I realized it probably only made sense to me and me alone.
I have window that pops up with our commerce system. I have it set to pop up a window via JavaScript if the visitor quits early in the process (abandons the commerce system before completing all of the steps. The new popup is just a customer survey ("why are you leaving, is there something else we can help you with" etc. etc.).
Here's the problem, it works fine in IE, but in Firefox, anytime the page in the original commerce window is changed, refreshed or advanced to a new page, the survey popup window is called rather than just on window close.
Again, here's the two JavaScript routines that handle clicks on the graphical close button and on the window 'X' close button. Code:
I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup
from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent
window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when
you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the
child windows. Can I do this?
I am trying to do a popup window, which will load when the page loads. Using the onLoad in the <Body> tag. However it doesn't seem to be working. Also when the popup loads there will be a form which the user selects an option and the form is sent to a email address with the answer chosen and then the popup closed. Code:
