You'll see I'm a gamer as well as a web/desktop developer and I have built so many application in both technologies.
But yesterday I was amused by something I saw. I like to play this Combat Arms game from Nexon a very well developed FPS online action game, scince I downloaded the update I noticed that when I double click on the game icon it actually open a browser where I login (in the past I log in from the game itself) when I login I press a button IN THE SITE where it says "START GAME" and the game automatically starts.
now the question is "HOW THE HECK DID THEY DO THAT?" [code]...
Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, Take Your CSS to the Desktop with Adobe AIR!.
The only book that covers Adobe AIR with AJAX (html, javascript) is Larry Ullman's Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide
All the other books cover Flex (MXML) and Flash (Actionscript) and expect you to know those things first.
It's not something that's ever really come up before, but I'm re-creating a desktop application as a web-app and I'm coming across a number of places where:1. A select box may be pre-filled with data from a database, and2. Changing that select box affects the rest of the page.I'm looking for a neat way to perform an action that could happen when the page loads, and/or when the select changes. Knowing my luck it's something stupidly easy.For example, some code that is currently in progress:
switch($('option:selected',$transaction).text()){ // On Load case 'Comparable': case 'For Sale / To Let': $.each($priceFields, function(){
i followed my first AJAX tutorial on the web: [URL]
the AJAX is working fine on the site itself, but when i download the source codes provided with the tutorial, it won't run from my machine. i checked this with several tutorials and all same. i.e. no results when run from the desktop machine.
I just came across following demo application: [URL] I have a few questions about this:What is the right approach to start a project, which have heavy use of JS? how to choose which library is best, or one should develop his own library specific to requirements to keep the file size smaller?
I've recently come across something I didn't think was possible. Let me just write the sample code....
Somehow, clicking on "Whatever" or "Whatever2" actually calls a specific JavaScript script (in the real case, it pops up a window). But of course, the actual script isn't defined at all in the tag - just an ID. I'm guessing that an external script is somehow applied to all hrefs, reads the id, and the acts accordingly. There are many, many external scripts on the particular page I'm using, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's causing the action.
Can someone show me how you would allow the links above to pass a javascript (could use going to a new URL as an example).
I've been searching for a script that creates a desktop shortcut for a URL. The script must work for all versions of Windows and Mac. I haven't found anything useful in my research yet. I know it sounds pretty basic but I am not sure where the limitations are when jQuery and the clients' browser interact with the OS.
Does anybody know if there has been any groundbreaking on this subject with jQuery?
I am working on getting my tumblr blog on my web site and there's a feature in the template that I would like to use on my site but after going through lots of sites offering tools, I couldn't find one the same.
this is my blog [URL] when hovering over a photo, you see the zoom button, clicking it makes the picture bigger and fades the background out.
Anyone know where I can get a script to do this? Has anyone used one of these? Do they automatically work on all images on the page without extra code on each image?
I am trying to get a VBS to launch from a button click. I have had some help from a colleague but so far no luck, so far all that happens when the button is clicked is it switches from being highlighted "click me..." to a depressed "installing" my Vbs path is correct,
I put together a little script to calculate and list a Fibonacci sequence (with javascript: The Definitive Guide 5th edition). It works fine when left as a plain script to run when the page loads, but if I try to turn it into a function to execute on the push of a button the script appears to do nothing.Here is the plain Fibonacci code:
Code:
document.write("<h2>Table of Fibonacci Numbers</h2>"); for (i=0, j=1, k=0, fib =0; i<50; i++, fib=j+k, j=k, k=fib){ document.write("Fibonacci (" + i + ") = " + fib); document.write("<br />"); }
I then turned it into a function so that it would not run until I clicked an HTML form button. I tried two different methods, one with function containing only the code above and the other as follows:
is possible with JavaScript to drag and drop a .jpg from your desktop to a small square box on you website. On drop the picture has to upload the file and store it on the server.
I'd like to learn how to make a popup window, launched from a button, that allows additional instances of itself to be launched from the resulting popup. here's what I have so far:In the head:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function MyPopup() {[code]....
This code is on the page that launches the popup the first time, and also the resulting popup. When I click the "Launch Another Window" from the popup, though, it just reloads inside itself and clicking the first button does the same thing (keeps "refreshing" the already launched popup). Any thoughts?
My code tests for existence of Quicktime plugin.If the plugin is installed. A sample .mov should play but does not.The <h2> header does appear on screen, nothing else, no errors.
I want to use some javascript to launch a windows application (this used on intranet) but don't know how. It'd be neat if I could not only launch the application but minimize the webpage's browser at the same time, but this is just icing on the cake.
what I'm trying to do is to automatically launch a function before going in the $.ajax ({success}); method. I've this:[code]My problem is that I first see "success" and then "ajaxSuccess" or would have the opposite.dataFilter function doesn't help me because I can't detect if query is successfull or not and not have the XMLHttpRequest.
I'm trying to launch two ajax requests at same time. I'm expecting result from the first later than the second. The problem is, it won't return me any result from the second request untill first one is returned.
I'm getting response from the $.getJSON function only when the $.post is over. Is this a bug or a mistake from me ? My aim is to launch a long request and fire multiple other requests to check how is doing the first one.
I've to launch a script to show my diigo bookmarks in my website in a sidebar. I launch the script with this command in a html page, that works :
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.diigo.com/roll2/linkrolls?v=3&username=thibaudoc&l_type=0&count=10&desc=1&style=standard&title=Trace%20%26%20Internet&tags=usability"> </script>
However, I don't want these script was launched in certain urls. I do that test, for example when I test a url with this parameter "id=trace-libre:auteur:cv" :
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var url = String(document.location); var test = url.replace(/id=trace-libre:auteur:cv/,'');
