Javascript + Firefox + Eval()
Jul 29, 2004I have a script that uses eval() and it works great under IE but it craps out when eval() is called in firefox. Just ignore all the commented out alerts, it is for testing purposes. Code:

I need to reload URL (in this case refresh same page) until I don't have word beginning with capitalized A, B or C. I can't find the way to create loop inside EVAL.

I need to reload URL (in this case refresh same page) until I don't have word beginning with capitalized A, B or C.
I can't find the way to create loop inside EVAL.
While doing simple interactive mathematical calculator for my son, i came across some issues. in the beginning i was working on Firefox 4.0.1 Fedora 15 didn't get any issue yet when i switched for google-chrome 11.0.696.68 the script didn't work anymore. i trimmed it down to simplest form possible and here i demonstrate:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
eval("x=10;y=20;document.write(x*y)");
[Code]....
I am trying to do the following but i get an error, is there no way i
can use eval to print have it assigned to a predeterminded variable.
eval (object_name + "_CalCalendar") = new CalendarPopup(object_name);
Cannot assign to function result.
Ok so, this is my purpose:
- to be able to load asynchronously (via AJAX) some javascript ads (like google's or adbrite) so as to make them be loaded in the background, then update the page after the ads have loaded via innerHTML
Why?
-Because 90% of the time in my newer sites, javascript ads are the major offender in terms of speed of page rendering
My problem:
Via ajax, I can call a php file that retrieves some javascript and outputs it, XMLhttprequest returns those javascript lines, but they don't render in the page, since they miss the whole page loading, and are apparently not parsed
For example, let's say I call a php file via ajax, and it returns the output into a variable named "text" containing "document.write('hello')"
if I use xxx.innerHTML=text, nothing happens
My 1st solution:
Passing those javascript lines to eval() [like eval(text) ], but this produces a second problem, that I couldn't solve (probably because of my lack of knowledge in javascipt):
if I eval the code, it deletes my current page and renders a new one
for example, if I parse a document.write, my page disappears, and a new one is rendered with the document.write text
What I want is basically to make that "document.write" appear inside a div in my page, adding to the content (and not overwriting the whole page), much like what happens when using innerHTML
Is this even possible? How would you go about it?
I tried xxx.innerHTML=eval(outputfromphpfile) but it overwrites my whole page...
I have the script below, which is supposed to populate a text box
on a form which opened this popup window - it should then call a
function 'PostThisPage' on the opener document, and then close the
current window/popup.
This works ok in IE - can anyone please help me by pointing out what it
needs to become cross-browser compatible? It doesn't work in Firefox
1.0.
<script>
window.opener.document.forms(0).tbGoToDate.value = 񟭄-11-11'
window.opener.PostThisPage();
window.close();
</script>
All this time I was testing my sites only in IE6 until my friend told me it wasn't working in FireFox. So I have to make changes in my Javascript code. In the Javascript console all the errors are pointed at the window object in all lines. alert(event.type) gives event undefined. Then I tried Event.type because I read somewhere that mozilla reads it as Event while IE as event. But then it gives:
Error: document.Event has no properties
Source File: http://localhost/xxx/xxx/xxx.js
Line: 3
Any idea of what I should be doing for it to work in FireFox ? The site works perfectly fine in IE until someone told me that IE doesn't follow w3c rules.
i have function that print xml table to the screen , it work fine on IE but not on Firefox. The problem is on red line:
var xmlDoc = this.req.responseXML;
var rows = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('ROWSET/ROW');
alert(rows.length); // = 0 on Firefox
I add alert and notice that on firefox i am getting 0.
again on IE it work fine.
I am using a custom JS dropdown in place of an HTML select ... the problem is the drop is used to select a link then a button is clicked to goto the selected item.
In IE it work perfect ... but in FF the values just get appended to the URL in address bar ... it is just a window.open function but will not work. Code:
I use the following script in order to show/hide a section, and at the same
time to change a companion .gif with another:
function doExpand(paraNum,arrowNum){
if
(paraNum.style.display=="none"){paraNum.style.display="";arrowNum.src="../../images/arrOn.gif"}
else {paraNum.style.display="none";arrowNum.src="../../images/arrOff.gif"}
}
and then in the body:
<div id="reltpc"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="doExpand(xplan1,ico1)"><img
id="ico1" src="../../images/arrOff.gif" alt="" width="10" height="9"
border="0"> Show Info</a></div>
<div id="xplan" style="display:none" onClick="doExpand(xplan,ico1)">
<p>text here</p>
<p>some more text here</p>
</div>
Furthermore, two more scripts are used in order to show/hide a section
without the image:
function doSection (secNum){
if (secNum.style.display=="none"){secNum.style.display="block"}
else{secNum.style.display="none"}
}
function noSection (secNum){
if (secNum.style.display=="block"){secNum.style.display="none"}
}
and then in the body:
<div id="more"><a href="javascript:;" onClick="doSection(dtails1)">More
Info</a></div>
<div id="dtails1" style="display:none" onClick="noSection(dtails1)">
<p>text here</p>
<p>some more text here</p>
</div>
All three of them are working good in IE and Ffox, however the second claims
to use "gelElementById" instead.
Well, how could it be done? Would you help me please, to get that
conversion?
I have a php page with a drop down list, and the default selected
option is "Select a location" (without quotes).
Using the drop down initiates a database query. One of (3) things
should happen:
1. If an option is selected for which results are available, they
should be displayed on the same page beneath the drop down list in a
table.
2. If an option is selected for which results are NOT available, a
message should be displayed informing the visitor that there were no
results for that query.
3. If the default selected option has not yet been changed (ie: when
the page first loads), no message should display.
#1 and #2 work, but the message described in #2 is still displayed when
the page first loads before the default selected option is changed (#3)
but in Internet Explorer only. Firefox displays the page correctly
under all three conditions.
The message that I want hidden on page load is wrapped in a div named
"infobox" and I'm using the following script to hide it which is at the
bottom of the page:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function ClearDiv()
{
if
(document.form2.name.options[document.form2.name.selectedIndex].value=="Select
a location")
{
document.getElementById("infobox").style.display =
"none";
}
}
ClearDiv();
</script>
I've also included the php code that writes out the message and the
table below....
Code... I have this simple script in the head of my html file. It works just fine in IE but not firefox.

I have a section of Javascript code that works a treat in IE but does nothing in Firefox. If we remove the doctype it appears to work, put the doctype back in and it breaks. We need the doctype to remain in so the page renders correctly cross-browser. Code:
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsually it's the other way (IE works, Firefox not working)... but here it is. IE does render something, although it puts the advert script (starting on line 9) at the very end, after the close of the last table. Firefox displays it as I have intended it (Ad inside the table).

You can have a mouse over the 2 first pictures, but after the second
picture has moved over the screen, nothing is happening when you move
the mouse over the slideshow The source code:
When I trying to do:
this.ctrl.style.display = 'block'
Firefox scroll area to the top, but IE not. I think that's bug. Maybe
anyone knows how I can fix that?
I have some code, using all the DOM documentation in the developer.mozilla.org website. For some reason it's only working in the newest Firefox 2 versions, and not 1.5.0.x
I'm having a hard time finding any documentation of what's not supported.
Can you guys help me? Here are the functions I'm calling:
getRangeAt();
range.collapsed
document.createElement("div");
range.cloneContents();
element.appendChild(clone);
document.getElementById("divid");
do you think it's createElement div? Maybe I can't create a div element?
I've got a page that creates an iframe and uses javascript to write to it.
Works like a charm in IE but not Firefox.
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write ('<iframe width="100" height="100" name="myframe" src="blank.htm" FRAMEBORDER="1" scrolling="no"></iframe>');
document.frames[0].document.open();
document.frames[0].document.writeln('<html><head></head><body>');
document.frames[0].document.writeln('YO!</body></html>');
document.frames[0].document.close();
//--></script>
What I get in IE is the "YO!" written to the iframe. What I get in Firefox is the 404 not found page of the site where the original "jstest.html" page and script are hosted.
I have a page with words within TH tags. When you put your mouse over the entire table, it is supposed to change an image source location to the one in the onmouseover as well as a block of text. I keep getting undefined errors though. I've been unsuccessful googling for the past hour for the proper syntax for accessing the span and image properties in mozilla. I tried adding document in front of each monument, mainimg, and maintxt without any luck. It has worked fine in IE6.....

and it doesn't seem to be working with firefox? does this look right? in IE it works fine.
I've been using the very cool Transmenu javascript drop down menu that I heard about on this forum. Below the menu is a flash movie that I set to 'transparent' so that the menu will display on top of the movie. This works GREAT on internet explorer, however I've recently become a big fan of firefox and the menu still seems to fall behind the flash movie in that browser.
Has anyone had experience with this issue? I could really use a solution here to get the menu to display on top of the flash.
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;
