Restoring A Filename And Path On A FORM?
Nov 14, 2010
how to save form values in cookies, etc. for use when re-displaying the forms. for example, after an error has been detected. Naturally, PHP allows you to do this with $_SESSION variables.
But no one seems to have cracked the problem with FORMs having file uploads. Browsers will send the file to the server and the name, but not the path on the client computer (I suppose for security reasons).
So, if you want to re-display the page, you can fill in all the form data in your PHP script so that the user doesn't have to re-enter everything. But, since your PHP script only knows the NAME of the uploaded file, and not the path, whatever your fill in for the "xxx" in <input type="file" value="xxx" /> will be wrong.

On an HTML page with 2x different forms, how can I redisplay the same
page after a submit, restoring the values from BOTH forms even though
only one was submitted?
I have an existing PHP program that I am modifying, and need to
redisplay the same page after a submit (the button that submits is a
"change shipping" button, that allows the user to continue with the
rest of the page). The problem is that there are TWO forms - the one
that allows you to change shipping, and the other where the user can
fill in the billing address. Making this into one form is not really an
option, due to how the program is set up.
Since they are 2 different forms, submitting the "change shipping" form
does NOT bring the billing address fields to my PHP code in the POST.
This makes restore difficult.
I have a couple of kludgy ideas on how to work around this (mostly
javascript based - e.g. setting hidden fields in the "change shipping"
form when the user is changing the billing fields). However, I was
wondering if there were any other easy solution to acheive this.

Rather than have several different pages, an app was designed to have
different sections, all on one page. To get to the different sections the
browser is scrolled down. It may take several submits before everything gets
filled out correctly. The user complained because the page would not scroll
to the previous position, code was installed to save and restore the page
position, but it doesn't always go to the same place. Sometimes it does.
Sometimes it doesn't. Two text boxes are used to save position, and the page
is regenerated with x and y as literals by the server. The problem seems to
be what values are saved as the page is submitted. Code:

I'm using a script to include images into a slide show using direct URLs to the image files, but I am using fckeditor (PHP) for my users to edit their content. The script in the .js file that pulls the images into the slide show.The user's image file is going to be named something like, "userImage01.php". Inside that file would be their image location path ~ "images/user/image1.jpg".Therefore, I need the above javascript to pull-in "userImage01.php" INSTEAD OF the image's location path.

I haven't used much Javascript before and I have a question about the following code. I've taken it from this tut [URL] and changed it a bit so it applies an expand/collapse functionality to a floating sidebar on the side of a website I'm working on.
When I remove the background on the toggle function, it refuses to come back. I have a feeling it's a simple solution, I just don't know what syntax to fill into the second part of the conditional to restore the background image. I've tried display, show, an actual path to the image...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function toggle() {
var bar = document.getElementById('floater');
var barText = document.getElementById('f_news');
[Code]....

I have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with
cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...

In Mac Safari 4.04 & Firefox 3.6, I am seeing page state being persisted on back button to page. I couldn't reproduce on jquery 1.3.2.
Here's a simple example:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.js"></script>
<a href='#content1'>tab 1</a> <a href='#content2'>tab 2</a>
[Code]....
1. Click on one of the anchors.
2. Goto another page
3. Click the browser back button
Result: One of the sections is still hidden. Is anyone else seeing this? How is jquery doing this?

This is a simple script I though of to get the filename of container for html.
Note: this only is tested on mozilla firefox 2 on windows vista
document.write("<a style='display:none' id='zFilenameFinder1' href=''>q</a>");
document.write("<a style='display:none' id='zFilenameFinder2' href='b'>q</a>");
var zDocURL = document.getElementById('zFilenameFinder1').href;
var zCompareURL = document.getElementById('zFilenameFinder2').href;
zCompareURL = zCompareURL.replace('b','');
var zFilename = zDocURL.replace(zCompareURL, '');
alert(zFilename)//filename handler
it works by creating two relative urls. one's href is blank, which when called by link.href returns the absolute value, giving the absolute link the page, then you compare it to a link that has a relative href of "b" which can be compared to the other link to give you the whole url

Is there a way to set the cookie filename with JS?
Currently it is setting it as 'asp/' (my directory). Can i specify it?
This is my code:
function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value, expiredays)
{
// Three variables are used to set the new cookie.
// The name of the cookie, the value to be stored,
// and finally the number of days until the cookie expires.
// The first lines in the function convert
// the number of days to a valid date.
var ExpireDate = new Date ();
ExpireDate.setTime(ExpireDate.getTime() + (expiredays * 24 * 3600 * 1000));
// The next line stores the cookie, simply by assigning
// the values to the "document.cookie" object.
// Note the date is converted to Greenwich Mean time using
// the "toGMTstring()" function.
document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + escape(value) +
((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + ExpireDate.toGMTString());
}
and this is how i call it:
setCookie('OpenJaw', 'true', Ƈ');

I don't find something about this, but perhaps someone have a solution.
Below is my problem :
I overload standard document.write in order to defer some js calls ( like ads ) with a lazyload feature. [code]...
My question is : in my document.write overload, is there anyway to catch the filename of the js script that call the document.write ?
One precision : I've got no possibilities to change distant js files.

I have a webform that creates a word document as it's ouput (yes I know it only works on IE).
function createWordDoc(){
Doctxt = "some text here"
var w=new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
w.Visible=true;
w.Documents.Add();
w.Selection.Font.Name="Times New Roman";
w.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1;
w.Selection.TypeText(Doctxt);
w.Documents.Save();
}
My issue is with saving the file. At the moment, in the above code, it opens the save dialogue box, and populates the filename field with the first line of text in the document. What I want to be able to do is populate the filename field with a variable filename created by the function. I've tried the snippet below, which works with the dynamic filename, but it autosaves the file to "My Documents" folder without prompting. I need to be able to allow the location to be changed.
var FileName = "Myfile.doc"
w.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(FileName);

I'm working on an internal website at work and employees have a cookie created when they login to the customer support tool. The filename is cookie:username@domain.com/ and I'd like to use javascript to pull a variable for their username to plug into a URL for a unique link when they're viewing one of our intranet pages.
@domain.com/ will always be the same but I don't know how to pull the unique username from the filename of the cookie. I don't need to actually read the cookie.

I am new to this forum, so your help would be most appreciated.
I am trying to create a javascript where, on clicking a button, I will
be able to download the latest log file. But the log filename changes
everyday as it takes the current date as part of the filename. eg.
EMEA_20070806 i.e. EMEA_yyyymmdd
Also, the previous day's log file is stored in the same directory.
How can I create a button where it will download the latest log file
at all times?

I am using the "Validation" plugin to validate my form. This is a multipart form where a user can upload a file. I would like to validate the choosen file name such that it contains only alphanumeric characters plus defined extensions. For that I tried the combination of the rules "accept" and "alphanumeric" but this does not work because the file name is the full path of the file name and it contains non alphanumeric characters as: C:umyDirectorymyFile.txt
regular expression which could tests that myFile is made only of alphanumeric characters ?
