Retrieving Certain Text From A Webpage
Dec 27, 2010
For a personal project, I want to see if I can make a Greasemonkey userscript (or eventually a Firefox add-on) to list how far a certain ad on Craigslist is from where the user is (by the city listed beside the ad). My question is really just looking for ideas on how I can parse out the city's from the webpage text (with javascript or some other language?). Not even sure if this is possible.
The city's or ads aren't their own div elements or anything (nothing can ever be so simple) - but the city's listed are formatted by <font size="-1"></font>, and each ad is in it's own paragraph tag.. maybe I can use that somehow?

<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'm not sure why I'm having problems with this but if I try to retrieve the
value of a readonly text form I get back that the object is undefined.
The reason the text is readonly is because it's a date which I set via a
calendar javascript program (associated with a button) only so the user
can't put something silly in requiring validation.
The form send the data correctly when submitted it just doesn't seem to be
able to be read.

I am fairly new to javascript and I am wondering how I would load a text file that has a JSON formatted array stored in it?I can pass the array directly to the page via php though I want to be able to store the data and save on calls to the database and of course load the data dynamically to the page.

I am using the SVG plugin. I have a simple test and I am unable to retrieve the x and y values of a text object.
$('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('x')
This returns as empty. Where as:
$('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('fill')
successfully returns the fill value.
HTML code:
<html xmlns="[URL]">
<head><title>SVG test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.svg.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.svgdom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.svganim.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/test2.js"></script>
<style>
#svgCanvas {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #ff0000;
}
#svgAtts {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #ff0000;
}
</style></head><body>
<div id="svgCanvas"></div>
<div id="svgAtts"></div>
</body>
</html>
Javascript code test2.js:
$(function() {
$('#svgCanvas').svg({onLoad: function(svg) {
//code
}}); });
$(function() {
var svg = $('#svgCanvas').svg('get');
var obj = svg.text(50,50,'Some Text',{id: "objID1", fill: "#FF0000", fontFamily: "Arial", fontSize: "24"});});
$(function() {
var svg = $('#svgCanvas').svg('get');
var string = 'fill = ' + $('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('fill') + '<br />';
var string = string + 'font family = ' + $('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('font-family') + '<br />';
var string = string + 'font size = ' + $('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('font-size') + '<br />';
var string = string + 'x = ' + $('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('x') + '<br />';
var string = string + 'y = ' + $('#objID1', svg.root()).attr('y');
$('#svgAtts').html(string);
});

Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?

How would I access the source of a webpage? I would like to get the source,
then use a regexp to find text on a webpage. For example, retrieving a
counter, or some other text that dynamically changes. I'm implementing this
for firefox.
right now, i have a web page opening that contains that info, but i would
rather have a pop up alert() that shows that info.

I'm trying to write a macro, but I'm lost. So say if I have an array of keywords to check for on a web page,
var keywords=new Array();
keywords[0]="You are a cat";
keywords[1]="Are you a robot";
keywords[2]="Have a good summer";
How would I make a function that checks the currently opened web page for one of the specific keywords. And if that keyword is found, then execute some action - and if not, then execute some other action?

I maintain a website for a small local restaurant. I do this with FrontPage so I know very little coding.
I have an upload manager so the owner can remotely upload a txt or doc file of daily specials to a folder on the server.
I would like to put a java script into one of the web pages that would open and display this file on page load.

The red part of the code below doesn't work correctly, but I hope it shows what I want.
Code:
<html><body>
<div id="container" style="float:left;">
my<br> dynamic<br> contents
</div>
<script type=text/javascript>
var container = document.getElementById('container');
var containerHeight = container.clientHeight;
if (containerHeight >= 100) {
dispaly("big sideBanner");
} else if (containerHeight > 50 && containerHeight < 100) {
display("middle sideBanner");
} else {
display("small sideBanner");
}
</script></body></html>
I like to display "big sideBanner" on the webpage if containerHeight is 100 or containerHeight is more than 100 and "middle sideBanner" if containerHeight is more than 50 and containerHeight is less than 100 and "small Banner" if containerHeight is less than 50. How can I make it work?

I created a web page having textbox and an update button. My need is to display data in the text box when page is loaded. After that when I click on the textbox it will become an input textbox and can enter data. when data entered completely, click on the update button, after that newly entered data must be displayed on the text box. i.e same text box will be used for input and output data.
I created my web page using html. I knew that, by using ajax i can implement the above functionality. but i didn't get any idea to write the code.

I'm try to set up a webpge that will play a live flash video on the left-hand side(got that part working) and display one slide of a presentation(jpg) to the right of the video. I would like to be able to control when the slide image changes by having some js check a text file on my server. The text file could contain something as simple as "Slide1.jpg". I will manipulate the text file with some code I've already written. Is there some simple js code I can put in my page that will cause it to check the text file every 5 seconds, and if the content of the file has changed, to refresh the image on the page with the new image? I'm try to get away from the "clicking" sound that is caused by doing a simple refresh of an Iframe.

I have a form which calculates values and gives the user a total depending on their selection in the drop down box. At the moment the value is displayed in a text field and I have got all the javascript to do this.
What I would ideally want is to embed the total in the page, rather than a text field. The total appears to the user like it is normal text in a page, only it will update when the form values are changed.
I presume that I want document.write to do this? Does anyone know how I could do this/ or if there is a page that does this sort of thing where i can 'borrow' the code?

I want my webpage to launch setup.exe then go to another webpage on my CD, congratulations.html, which says "installation is complete etc". Here's what I am trying to do through JAvascript.

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.

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.

I have:
1 form on the page. (no name, no id value set.)
3 hidden form elements named: catalog, vwoidc, oid
!!! I can only include the javascript right after the body tag. The
form is found near the end of the loaded page.
<form action="actionURL" method=post>
<input type=hidden name=catalog value=store>
<input type=hidden name=vwoidc value=69a6e1deb02417250691>
<input type=hidden name=oid value=60323></form>
Everything I've tried needs to have the javascript executed after the
page has been fully loaded.
