I am writing a javascript based tool that other people can call on their webpages. I was wondering if I have gzip enabled on my server and they call my javascript file will it still have the benefits of gzip or will the fact it's being called remotely cause a problem.
The reason I ask is because the file is 54kb normally and 18kb when gzip is enabled on the server.
jquery.validation remote method doesn't work with jquery 1.5.0
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to compress some javascript files using gzip/deflate.
The thing I worry about though is browser support. In my searches, I've seen some suggestions that some older browsers will send the http Accept-Encoding: gzip header, but they aren't actually capable of using a compressed javascript file.
I've seen various solutions which try to sniff the browser via the user_agent header and just serve the uncompressed version when it thinks the browser is gonna choke on it. But the sniffing examples I've seen seem to vary a lot, and I worry they aren't very good.
For example, look at the sample provided by the apache manual [URL] Used as-is, that's gonna catch opera and serve it an uncompressed file, when opera will handle it just fine. And I've also seen people say safari(which versions I'm not sure) doesn't like compressed javascript either, but I don't see anything in the example provided by mod_deflate that would save safari from doom.
Many of the webpages I've come across on this subject seem outdated or incomplete, which doesn't do much for my confidence.
What do you do? Part of me want's to just give these buggy browsers what they ask for when they say they accept gzip/deflate and let them explode....but I think there's still too many users of these older browsers to just do that. I feel I should make a good faith effort to try to make it work reasonably well. This seems like a very realistic issue and I'm somewhat suprised I'm not finding more information on it.
Cannot get jQuery to work (unless I access [url])
Is this permissible, or do I have to download jquery.js to my server? If not, I have other questions:
- My hosting service does doesn't have gzip compression enabled --what file do I need to install on my server if I don't have GZIP available?
- How can I extract that file (jquery.js?) from jquery-1.3.2.js.txt? (looked for GZipper, but from what I can see that's Mac s/w and I'm running windows)
I am new to javascript, I have one question, how can I use javascript to get the IP address of the remote user or remote web browser?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am remote scripting using javascript to an XML gateway, the XML file I get back changes state i.e. either the car registration number exists (and it includes certain fields in the XML) or it doesn't exist (and it doesn't include certain fields).
When my code tries to display the result I am getting the 'object required' error because I am trying to access an xml element which doesn't exist.
For example this line would break if the plate didnt exist but work perfectly if it did:
var fuel = response.getElementsByTagName('Fuel')[0].firstChild.data;
Is there anyway to stop it throwing an error if it doesn't exist and just set a regDoesntExist flag or something?
I have a PHP script that displays my online status and shows a window
if I am online, or doesn't show anything if I am offline.
I'd like to include the content of this remote PHP file inside a web
page using JS. I have created an xmlHttpRequest script to do that but
it doesn't work as expected... It should work just like the status.php
file, but instead, the content doesn't show up in IE, and in Opera, it
it stuck in the upper-left corner...
A newly added, not-quite-wanted function of my job is remotely
debugging JavaScript errors on other people's web applications. I have
tried finding a JavaScript debugger that would allow me to do that, but
other the Microsoft Script Debugger, I couldn't find any other.
Are there such programs? Basically, what I'd like to be able to do is
trace commands step by step and view the values of certain variables.
I was unable to figure out how to get Microsoft Script Debugger to
work. I read the documentation and executed it, but I keep getting
"Syntax error" messages whenever I want to see the value of a variable.
Add to that the fact that I am not a developer and I do not know
JavaScript (other than to read it, which is enough for me to figure out
what the problem is) and you see my problem.
I have read about the option of adding message boxes all over the
place, but this would not work out for me either, since I would need to
make changes to this code on the web server, where I don't have access,
and it would be a lot more tedious.
For those skeptical as to why I still expect to be able to debug
problems:
The problems are caused in most cases by the proxy we add on their web
servers, and they are due to values being changed on the fly. I only
need to find out where the code breaks and read the values of the
variables, which gives me the solution ("do not change this variable").
I know javascript has no local or server based access to the disk however I
was wondering if one can read a remote page and take its html <TITLE>
value...
My guess is no but thought I'd check/ask anyway...
What I'm trying to create:
Normal slideshow like this one ([url])

So hover on "item 1" should show "div with heading1".
I am trying to use asp for remote validation instead of php. But it did not work. This is whatI tried.
$(document).ready(function() { var validator = $("#Member_Form").validate({
rules: { Member_Name: {
required: true,
minlength: 2,
remote: "users.asp"
}, },
messages: { Member_Name: {
required: "Enter a username",
minlength: jQuery.format("Enter at least {0} characters"),
remote: jQuery.format("{0} is already in use")
}, }});
Also how is the member name passed to the asp page. I tried reading it as query string. But it did not work.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Basically i want to grab some data from the royal mail(UK) site, to use within a CMS, so the sales team can easily find the tracking info about a customers order.
Royal mail have recently allowed get requests which populates the track and trace form field and auto submits the page via a 302 redirect e.g.
royalmail.com/portal/rm/track?trackNumber=x
With X being the tracking number. Try: [URL]
(the links above should have www and http etc on but sitepoint won't allow to post them like this because of the spam filters)
So what i would like to do, if it is possible, is to use jquery to grab that page and possible grab a certain paragraph (in this case the first p of the class "track-right-box") so that the sales team don't have to go to the site every time they want to trace the order.
Now a figured i could use $.load or $.get in jquery to do this but firebug is throwing up the error: Access to restricted URI denied" code: "1012
Which i'm guessing is something to do with the security setting on firefox.
The boss wants to distribute a mini-site to partners but still maintain control of the site on our end. The initial thought was to just send them a Flash app but I'm not sure if that will be the most practical. Here's what I would like to be able to do. I don't know if it's even possible.
In this proof-of-concept model the mini site has three pages that all link to each other. Pages also include images and a form. The partner's site would have a bit a javascript on the page to set a unique ID parameter and then load our mini site.
I imagine this JS site importer would wind up spitting out a bunch of document.write() stuff to basically write our site into the page of the partner's site.
Am I even making sense?
The desired effect is to allow the partner's site to display our content within their shell. AND for us to be able to change the content at will. AND to be ble to shut off the partner's feed (via that unique ID parameter) if we need to.
I'm not asking for a complete pre-written solution (although it wouldn't be rejected!) Just for a shove in the right direction.
I want to write a script that will read a .php file on a remote
server and print to the current page a portion of the text contained in
the remote file. I am just wondering what the best method is for
reading from a file in this case - the file is only a few bytes long.
I've seen a tutorial or two that only tangentially addresses my
problem, and even then each one has varied greatly as to which object
they utilize.
Any ideas to get me started?
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...
I've got a situation where I'm updating a MySQL DB with PHP but because of
how the language works I need to do the following.
The "main page" will open a remote page where the user will add/edit/modify
data then on the confirmation page, there needs to be a close button.
However, before the window is closed, I want it to reload the "main window"
so that they can see the changes they made. I've been digging through the
google groups and JS sources on the net but I'm just not finding answers for
a JS newb like myself.....

The purpose here is if the cookie from domain 2 exists then do an action in domain 1.
For example:
Erase cookie or do an action.
I'm trying to use a remote file for the purpose of setting the value of a single variable. It contains a single line of code:
var rev_date = "R10-03-07";
In the HTML, it is called like this:
<script language="javascript" src="http://some.domain.com/revdate.js"></script>
There is a function in the head:
function setRevdate() {
document.getElementById("revdate").innerHTML = rev_date;
}
In the Body:
<body onload="setRevdate();">
Then where I want to place the text:
<span id="revdate">--</span>
The problem is that the page loads and the onload event seems to happen before the rev_date string object is created and produces a "rev_date not defined" error. If I hit the browser refresh, however, everything works fine and the text is displayed between the span tags. It continues to work thereafter as long as the browser session is not destroyed.
How can I program this to force the browser to wait for the script to be read in and the variable initiated before calling the function?
