Reading Webpages Using Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

I am writing a program that will allow a user to enter a webpage address into a form. Then it will download and display the webpage below the current one.

example
----------------------------------------------------
| _____________ |
| _____________enter web address | Load Button | |
| -------------- |
|_________________________________________________ __
| |
| |
| web page will be displayed here |
| |
|_________________________________________________ _|


Is there a way to download another web page using javascript and read
through it.

I am not too concerned with displaying the web page just downloading
it. Has anyone done anything like this? the closest I have found was a
procedure used by grease monkey "GM_xmlhtt" which is what I am looking
for.

Reading XML With Javascript

Jan 16, 2006

I'm extremely new to XML, tell me what needs to be fixed in my XML file
as well as in my javascript.

My XML file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<imapmail>
<message>
<subject>Testing, 123</subject>
<sender>Name &lt;email@example.com&gt;</sender>
<date>1/2/03</date>
<size>640 KB</size>
<read>0</read>
</message>
</imapmail>

I'm accessing it with this javascript:

var sender =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("sender").item(0).firstChild.data;

I ultimately want to user to see that the sender is "Name
<email@example.com>". With the way the XML file is currently set up
(sender is Name &lt;email@example.com&gt;), the only that shows up
on the javascript end is Name. Is the way I'm storing it in my XML file
the best way to be doing it?

Reading Xml From Javascript

Aug 25, 2005

From javascript, I am opening a popup window and requesting a url, which sends a xml as a response to the popup window. From this javascript, I want to read that xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<aaa>
<vvvv><![CDATA[1]]></vvvv>
</aaa>

I tried

del_window=window.open("http://abc.com/_xmlservice","","width=1,height=1");
var ele = del_window.document.documentElement; //this is returning "HTML"
...
and

del_window.document.getElementsByTagName("xxx")

But nothing worked out.

Reading Browser Cookies With JavaScript...

Aug 28, 2007

Now, I am not talking about some kind of malicious coding, or spyware writing by any means, but I do need it to be able to read the cookies from a site other than my own. At least I think this is what is required. What I am trying to accomplish is this; I have a stats package setup on a different domain than my live website and I am using it to track the stats of the users on my site other than paying for stats service through some other company, and it seems to be working just as I need it to, only I would like for it to be able to do a little bit more. Right now, all it is capturing form the user is their IP address, browser information and host information on their ISP. But, I would like for it to be able do more. I would like for it to be able to retrieve certain cookies generated by a different site and show me the information in which the cookies hold... I am not talking about displaying passwords or any such thing like that, I just need certain information.

Inline Javascript Not Working While Reading From XMLHttpRequest Object

Jun 9, 2006

I stumbled upon a strange behaviour of the XMLHttpRequest.. Maybe I'm
just not well informed enough about its possibilities, so could someone
please confirm my question?

When I put plain javscript in a file that is read-in through a
XMLHttpRequest-object, it's like it is totally ignored. Eg. I have the
file ajax_include.html with in it's body the following lines
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
alert('some alert');
</script>

when I directly surf to the file, the alert pops up as expected, but
when I use a simple XMLHttpRequest to replace the contents of a div
with the contents of this page, the alert is not popping up, although
when I view the selection's source (Thank you, Firefox!), it is there!

When I place an anchor with an onclick-action (eg. alert('onclick')),
it works when I click it.
So my "conclusion" is that it seems like inline javascript commands are
ignored (functions not recognized etc.). All actions assigned to other
events work nice though.

Can someone confirm this strange behaviour? Or is it just normal with
the use of an XMLHttpRequest opbject?

Automated Popup Slideshow Of Webpages

Jun 28, 2011

I am trying to write a javascript that once a link is pressed, a popup opens and a series of websites, with 2 changing parameters (from arrays), are loaded in series (after a time delay, or if possible once the page has loaded). I have managed to get a working script together, but I can't seem to make it load within the same window, instead of loading several pages after each other. So what I am asking really is, how do I ensure it loads within the same popup window? and If possible, how can I improve the code so that it only "pauses" until the page is loaded instead of just waiting 10 seconds?

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function makeCrankWindow(url){
crankWind = window.open(url,"Cwindow");
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}function Crankwindow(){
var wid = []; //Titan Id Array
wid[0] = "53";
wid[1] = "57";
wid[2] = "194";
wid[3] = "196";
wid[4] = "242";
wid[5] = "286";
var sid = []; // Facebook Id Array
sid[0] ="5089"; // NAME HERE
var timeout = 0;
for (var i=0; i<2; i++){
for (var j=0; j<6; j++){
setTimeout('makeCrankWindow("[URL] source=190&sourceu=' + sid[i] + '&wid=' + wid[j] + '","Cwindow")', timeout);
timeout += 10000;
}}}
</script>

JQuery :: Download Webpages To Local Drive?

Jul 12, 2011

I think I know the answer to this but I want to ask anyway. There are scores of pages on a particular website that I need to download so I can process them. They would all come down as XML files. I wrote a desktop app a while ago to do this but I was hoping to move this functionality to my website. This is an example of one of the pages I would download/copy:[URL]... A related question is... after I get all of these pages into a folder on my machine... I will need to point JQuery to the folder where they were copied and process each one. Does JQuery have a built in way to open a folder and capture all the files inside so they can be processed? I couldn't find anything like that.

Combine Multiple WebPages Into A Single WebPage?

Sep 1, 2010

When designing a web page, you may come across a situation where you want to combine content from multiple websites in a single window. Could the "iframe" tag makes this possible? If so, as it will separate your page design into several sections and display a different website in each one?

JQuery :: Image Preload Animation Plugin For Webpages?

Sep 23, 2010

I'm trying to find a JQuery plugin that will:

a) preload all img's and background's on a given page

b) display an animated gif in the center of the original's img's or background's container

c) fade out showing each image once it's downloaded

d) as a consequence of (a) allow the page to render (show) quicker even if (depending on server speed, connection speed and user computer speed) the remaining images are still in a 'load state'.

e) is based on JQuery so not to increase page's footprint via adding Mootools, Prototype, YUI or the like (unless the additional 100KB or so is so worth it).

I've scouted Google and there a few out there but amazingly none seem to focus on doing this for a web page's image's but rather seem to focus on galleries/lightbox windows and so forth.

Reading Parameters Using Js, From A Url

Jul 23, 2005

Can someone give me some pointers on how I can read one or more
arguements from a url, using js?

Why? I'm working on a LAMP based project and when a user successfully
registers, the header redirects to the login screen - I'd like to check
for the value of register, if read from:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?register=success

A pointer/hint as opposed to a solution should be sufficient because I'm
doing pretty well learning javascript.

Help: Reading An XML File

May 4, 2006

I'm trying to write code that will read an XML file. I've found several examples but I can't get them to work. Am I missing a DLL file? The errors I commonly get are "object required" (as with the code below) or "permission denied". Any insight would be helpful and appreciated. Here is what I'm trying:

<script language="JavaScript">
function importXML(file)
{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) createTable()
};
xmlDoc.loadXML(file);
}

function createTable()
{
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Employee");
for (i=0;i<x[0].childNodes.length;i++)
{
alert(i); //enter code to process stuff here
}
}
</script>

<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="import XML"
onClick="importXML('C: mpzip est1.xml')">

Reading Barcodes

Apr 25, 2007

I'm trying to create a javascript barcode API, that reads from my USB barcode reader and calls an action upon completion. The reading itself is not complicated at all, since the barcode reader functions exactly as typing the same numbers on my keyboard. So scanning a barcode with; 5050500

would be the same as typing it on my keyboard, but of course much faster. The problem lies in my "API" which dosn't always respond to the barcode length correctly, hence executing the actions at the wrong time (see code below).

A scenario in my application would be to separate multiple barcodes with a semicolon, which is what I'm trying to do with the code below. Copy paste the following code, and run it in your browser: Code:
