View 1 RepliesI have just started to learn about JQuery and wanted to learn how to retrieve data from an API.
I used the Flickr example provided here [url] and just changed the relevant code to point to the 500px api.

If I launch the following URL I do get the results properly [url]
Here's a sample of what the result looks like:-
I don't get any results when I run my code page. What am I doing wrong?
We are trying to develop an Engineering application using PHP,
Javascript with Informix as the back-end.
Is it possible to retrieve data using Javascript but by accessing the
Database. Say somebody enters part_no, than using Javascript is it
possible to connect to the part master and retrieve the division and
desc information?
I am not allowed to use the PHP because this will require the user to
insert the part number on the first page (user input page) and then
retrieve the information using PHP and display the info on the second
page (processing page).
I will need this to be done on the same page. That means the info will
need to be retrieved instantly (on the fly).
I think of building a javascript array for the part master table using
PHP but finally decided not to as the table is a huge table (contains
more than 1000000 records).
I'm trying to use AJAX to load user's profile through a drop-down list on selected user. There are 3 seperate files:
1) view_info.php
2) selectuser.js
3) getuser.php
I tested and found that the value $q did pass from view_info -> selectuser.js -> getuser.php, and value changes correctly as i select different user from the drop-down list. Problem is, it simply can't fetch data from my database using the value $q. I tried debugging it for 3 hours already and is totally out of idea whats wrong with the script. i'm new to AJAX, this is my first script..

I am having question on how to retrieve data from web page.
There are 'Yes' , 'No' checkbox for different questions on the web page. There are around 50 such questions.
I have to retreive the values submitted by the user by clicking on either Yes or No checkboxes. Then save this data on the server. I have to use Javascript for this.
Since I am new to Javascript I am not getting idea how to implement it.
I'm completely new to jQuery and Javascript but I have extensive (10+ years) with Flash and Actionscript.
I want to create a dyanmic tree menu, but I wonder what is the best way to get the data from a MySql database.
Honestly, compared to AS3, the implementation of XML seems very primitive... In As3 you simply move around the xml as if those were objects using E4X. This way: MyXML.myNode.myChild[3].text()
So I wonder, what is the best way to work with data from the DDBB? Is there a better way of using XML with jQuery? Maybe JSON?
How should I approach this?
I am new to jquery and i have no freaking idea about jquery. One of the requirement is to use Jquery to datastore and dataretrieval so on my aspx page, a user enters a comment and clicks on "Add" button.When user clicks on Add button, I wan to add comments to database. Once data is added to db, I also want to retrieve same data, user name and current datetime as a dataset and show it on the page. How can I achieve this? I am creating a webservice which accepts "comments" as parameter and stores into database.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a personal site and I'm using a very interesting javascript library written by Jacob from nihilogic.dk. This library allows me to extract some EXIF-data from pictures. My site will serve as a picture site where I will post pictures from my future world trip (one year travel from north america to south america).
My idea is to take pictures with a camera with GPS functionality so all the pictures will be tagged (in the exif) with a latitude and longitude value.
The objective is to post these pictures on my site when I'm on tour and dynamically link them to a google map so visitors and myself can see the exact location where the picture was taken.
The following libraries offered by nihilogic: (binaryajax.js and exif.js) [URL] are able to read EXIF data such as latitude and longitude from the picture.
Since I'm trying to work with jquery I also tried the jquery version which does also read exif data. However the jquery version of the script doesn't read latitude and longitude tags.You can find this script here:jquery.exif.js
My question is it possible to find a solution that will allow reading out the longitude and latitude data with the jquery script? Is it possible to tell me how to enable this data in jquery?
Here's a test sample of my site using this script. click on the little globe icon under the first picture to see google maps and EXIF data.

I have designed a data entry form in HTML. In all I have upwards of 16 data entry elements (varying from edit boxes, '<input>', drop down controls, check-boxes, etc)
I know by setting the tabIndex of every data entry element user can navigate easily with the Tab key. But, even if it is non-standard, can the navigation be done with the 'Enter' key instead (it is the users, non functional requirement)
Im modifying some open source code and in this instance I would like to write some data to a file (possibly for the user to download). In this code the user can toggle the hidden exportData to be shown on the webpage. However, I would like to give the option of downloading/saving the data as a file (only the exportData which I believe is the document.getElementById("path")). I have tried various tricks found online, but have yet to produce the hoped for result.
Code:
have the following code that I thought I could retrieve json_encoded data but I'm just getting "undefined".The json_encoded string from the php array:{"table":null,"id":"2","itemCode":"1003","itemDesc":"Item infor for1003","itemWholesale":"1.99"}]I thought I could "grab" the name of each in the array and output the dataaccordingly. So on success of the ajax post (which does return data) I triedalert(itemData.itemCode); This is on line 10 in the below code snippet. Using this method returns "undefined" and NOT the data 1003 as I would expect.
jQuery Code:
$('#search_results tr').live('click', function() {
var $itemrow = $(this).closest('tr');

I want to use the values of text boxes on my HTML webpage to create a webpage URL (like below):
<script type="text/javascript">
My text boxes are as follows:
Now this all works and the result webpage URL prints to id='ID1', but the big question is how do I use this resulting URL in another Javascript section as the src="?
For example:
I am trying to display a webpage from another domain and tried to access its elements and I am facing issues with this.
I tried using "iframes" and am facing cross domain issues.
All that I want to do is, set and get the attributes of the elements of the webpage from the other domain (eg: set text field value, get dropdown box values, click button etc)
Is there a way to get this job done?
I thought of browser addons however it will be a browser specific solution.

I am trying to run a webpage where the user clicks on a county and a window pops up with either "No data" or the name of the County.
Here is my query code with the output fields:
HTML Code:
query = new esri.arcgis.gmaps.Query();
query.returnGeometry = true;
query.outFields = ["NAME", "COUNTY_NAM"];
The else part of the code works fine. It gives me the name of the county, but if I select LEE county it does not give me "No Data". I don't think I have the correct quotes/brackets in place.
HTML Code:
if ("{COUNTY_NAM} == LEE"){
var infoWindowOptions = {
content: "No data"

Could anyone know the script code for a WEBPAGE ON TOP OF A WEBPAGE? The site was not working anymore, so I can't tell you the link. This is what I saw, When I visited the site (Mainpage) There's just a Welcome Image that shows CLICK HERE TO ENTER. After clicking the link, a loading faded icon appears on top of Welcome Image covering that Welcome Image with Webpages, it's like popping to the center of the page. I don't know if someone of you could understand me. It's like Page on TOP of another Webpage without leaving the 1st page.
