I'm building a very simple app that relies on a remote server. I will use this app on many websites, so I decided to store it on one server (I have control of the remote server in question).
I need to make sure that this server is up and running, so in the case it's not I can use a fallback.
Would it be a client-side approach? A server-side approach? My guess is to use a js snippet to do the job. If I'm correct, I'll probably use jquery to perfom the task.

I am hosting my website in free server (freehostia.com) and i am using joomla1.5 . I want to parse RSS from my other websites. Joomla does it with its modules. But the server do not allow outbound HTTP request, hence i had use rss-to-javascript website to parse RSS feeds. It parses well but there is its advertisement below the feed (which i think is nonsense).
I want to populate my client's webpage (Remote Server) automatically through my Server and Database by having him just paste a javascript on his webpage.
I have read up about Microsoft Remote Scripting but the documentation states the following : "The server which you make remote scripting calls must be the same server from which you requested the client page containing the requests."
In my case , the client and server pages are on two seperate servers which means that I cannot use MS Remote Scripting.Is there an alternate approach in any scripting language ???
Any suggestions, tutorials , websites , code snippets will be appreciated while i continue to research on this...
Here is what I am trying to do. On my web page, I have three choices for the user to pick from. After the user selects one of the checkboxes and clicks a submit button, I need to send a http request to a remote server to record the user's choices (actually it is an https that I am sending),.. so I need to send something like this.

The remote server responds with an xml response that looks like this:
So, I want to post the request, read the response (answer) back from the other server and display it on my page. So, my dilemma is as follows:
1) my understanding is that I cannot do this with AJAX using an XMLHttp object because it is on a remote server and it would violate some sort of same-domain security. Is that correct? If in fact I can do it in AJAX, how do I read the response back from the other server?
2) if I am correct in my assumption in 1) then what is the best way to accomplish this task?
I recently coded a page that extracts certain nodes from an external XML file and prints a line of text on the webpage.
It is an HTML page that is strictly devoted to this purpose. There is no other information on it.
The page is currently stored locally on my computer, and when I open it, the script runs fine and outputs the correct text.
However, when I transferred this script over to my web server, and locate it that way, it doesn't run correctly. When I go to the page, it is supposed to display a line of text at the top. It does when I run the file from my local machine, however when I open it from the server, it doesn't display this text. (Same browser, same computer)
When I right-click and view the source, all the code is there, and the files are identical.
why the script runs correctly only when I open the HTML page locally?
I am developing extension which should upload currently displayed html as a file to a remote web server, unfortunatelly so far i haven't suceeded. I think this should be done through XMLHttpRequest(), but neither I know how to upload files through XMLHttpRequest nor how to convert string to file.
The HTML form that uploads a file:
But as I said i need my plugin to do it automatically and file must be made from html code.
I have a drop down menu with a change event that makes a JQuery JSON AJAX request, which I've simplified for this post:
Code JavaScript: $('#id_template').change( function() { var data = { action: 'change_template'
[Code]....
When I do change the drop menu's value, the request seems to be successfully sent with a successful reply received (inspected it in Firebug), as the content in the "status == success" is accessed. However, the problem is the response is null.
I don't have this problem when I'm testing on my local WAMP setup, and so have no idea why everything appears to be working fine here except the retrieval of the response array.
This is a strange problem because there's no reason it should be happening. I'm running xampp 1.7.4 locally and jquery-1.6-dev. I'm working through the "jQuery Novice to Ninja" book and everything is working fine until I hit Chapter 3 - animated navigation. Instead of displaying across the top of the page, the nav bar displays down the page. After double- and triple-checking everything I just straight copied the example files for the book into my local server. It did the same thing. In other words, when I double-clicked the file to view in the browser it worked, but the exact same file viewed in the server did not work. I checked with the file I was working on and sure enough the same thing happened - it worked viewed in the browser but not through the server. I hope I explained this clearly. Has anyone run into this sort of thing before? Is there something on the server that needs to be configured?
I wanted to ask how it is possible to get error messages from the server till it is implemented in the remote method.What do you think is the less work intensive alternative.I also wanted to ask if i have two fields A and B, and the values of B depends on A. How do i make it with the plugin and the remote method ?I saw that there is a way of writing custom methods:URL...But how do i combine it with the ajax calls?
i know how to do the link thing that if u click it it closes the window. but im wondering if theres a way to automatically close a window after the php code is done running. cause i have an inbox and theres a link to delete the message if you click on it it will open up a new windows and run the php script to delete the message then it will say message deleted. im wondering how instead if just saying msg deleted it can close itself(the window) as well? does anyone know how? can i do it with pure php or do i need javascript too? i figured javascript.
I followed the tutorial on this site how to create a slide show. The slide show works great. What I am wondering is there anyway to make the slide show stop after running so many times?
Basically I want ONLY the last word of my text to run through the Script that makes it glow. The problem I am having at the moment is that when I use DIV tags to isolate the last word in the displayed text it drops it down (carriage return). I do not want this. I have tried SPAN tages but the Script will not work with those. I borrowed the "glow" Script from online, and have modified it for my use. How to get text sentence is ALL in line with the last word going through the glow/flicker Script?
</head> <body onload="Redirect('Welcome.aspx'); doThing(); animate('highlight', '#FFFFFF')"> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div id="box4"> <div id="flicker"> All that <span id="red">Glitters</span> is <span id="green">NOT </span> <span id="gold">Gold</span> </div> .....
i am currently exploring my options for a script I want to create and want some input on what you think are my best options.
Background
1) Our company provides a service to clients who save information on our company website in a mysql database.
2) Our clients fill in this information and will soon have the option of displaying this information on their websites (thats where the new script comes in)
3) Originally I wanted to create a simple PHP script that they could reference on my site which would get all their details for them basd on thier Host. however I have since learnt you cannot call a hp script from another domain. so idea 1 out the window.
4) So I have since moved to look at a javascipt approach. The Script will be hosted on our company server
5) Clients will call only 1 function to get their data
6) The function they call would ideally load and read the php script file that is stored on our server (FILE XXX) which retrieves the data for them from the mysql database and formats it based on how they have configured their data on our site
Firstly , Can this be done? How can i get it to load the php script (yes i know its server side not client side). I have looked into Ajax and see this can be done but not if the script is stored on a different server. How can i go about resolving this issue?
I have report that takes about 5-10 seconds to generate depending on the load. I want to show the user a progress bar while it is being generated and when it's done, forward the browser to the report.
I am looking to build a slideshow (basic, with next/previous options, e.g jquery cycle) but I would like it to get the images from a specific folder. So, whenever I want the slideshow updated, I would simply drop the files in a folder and that would do it.
Would this require a php script? If yes, direct me to somewhere to find out more...Or if there are other ways.
I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.
The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.
The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?
Javascript Code
window.onload = initAll; var xhr = false; function initAll() { document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
I'm trying to write a script that will be loaded from one server into a website on another server. This script is trying to talk (ajax) to the server that it comes from but I'm getting "Access Denied" errors. I'm well aware that cross-domain calls are not allowed for security reasons so my question is how does Google Analytics work because essentially thats what I'm trying to accomplish. I can embed a Google Analytics script into my website and it'll gather data and send it back to Google.
I would like to open an html file locally (not fetch it from a server) and somehow use javascript to fetch the relative resources from the server. One solution would be to convert all of the relative links to absolute links. I can convert the html source file anyway I wish, but ideally I would like to modify the html source as little as possible, for example insert a function that modifies the result of the src attribute. How would I go about this? Is there any trick I can use to define where the relative home is? Am I going to get into any scripting security gotchas?
I am creating an XML document on my page with javascript. My question is, is it possible to save that xml file on the server (I have write permissions) only using javascript, ie no server code? This task would be trivial using server code, but I was wondering if I can do it all with client code and post backs? Well, any input?
I already have a server connected to clients, clients send msgs and it echoes back to all of them and now i want when a client sends a msg it echoes on his server and the other server too .. so when any of the clients on any of the servers sends a msg it is broadcasted all over the servers to all clients
