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.
Can I subtract the filename form the location.pathname ex: Before = 'file:///c:/afolder/awebsite.html' After = 'file:///c:/afolder/' Or is there any other way to get the directory without the name of the file being veiwed?

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');
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) ...
Trying to create a method/function how ever you want to call it, that will allow me to clear input values on inputs with focus() and restore the input values if nothing is entered or keep what the user types on focusou().[code]
I'm trying to get the full path of a file with a file uploader form with FF. I see HTML5 permits this but I cannot find any concrete examples to access this value from a normal html file uploader form.
<script type="text/vbscript"> Dim objWord Sub Btn1_onclick() call OpenDoc("K:DeloitteTeam1 Status reportJavaProgramshi.txt") End Sub
Sub OpenDoc(strLocation)
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") objWord.Visible = true objWord.Documents.Open strLocation End Sub </script>
I would like to pass the filename used above in the button code below so the above code could be coded only once and then mutiple button code could be used.
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.
I have recently come across the need for using the name of the image file within js, but I can't locate it. I am well versed in php, but my js skills are noticeably weak. About 25% of the way into the (partial) lightwindow.js I have placed a comment that shows where I need to access the current image filename.
Code:
This will stop image flickering in IE6 when elements with images are moved try
I'm trying to figure out a way to pass the filename before submission... I think I have to make an onChange command on the file field, but not sure how...
This is what I have done so far: <script type="text/javascript"> function theimage(){ var imgURL = document.getElementById('myfile').value; ste.execCommand("insertimage", imgURL); } </script>
I'm using Joomla. I've got a dropdown which reads the filename from the database. When the user selects it I want an onchange event to open the pdf.I've been at it for 2 days now.

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 ?
