I have a need for a page to pop up a user/password dialogue
when it loads and for the user/password that they enter to be sent to
be logged somewhere on the server. The underlying page then loads as
normal. Does anyone have an idea about how I might do this?
Is it somehow possible to setup a backend server to send a message to a client? Or it is a client always have to establish a connection? What I'm trying to code is a simple chat script that sends a message to the client once a member of the chatroom has logged out. The only way that I can make this work is if the client either sends a message (which is a POST call) or when a time delay occurs (I've set a timer to run every 30s after the last GET or POST call). But both of these are basically CLIENT -> SERVER calls. I don't assume that the other way (SERVER -> CLIENT) is possible? no?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a site which displays a selection of advert listings. We log the number of clicks each advert receives via ajax requests.The listings link to both internal pages on our site and external pages, hence the ajax - we cannot log the'clicks' by logging the requests on the destination pages as these are not all on our site for us to log. Also, I don't want to potentially get false positives e.g.from bookmarked pages - hence I am logging the actual clicks, not the requests on the destination.
All is OK in most browsers, but there is a problem with Safari (I am running Safari 4.0 on Windows XP running in Virtualbox OSE) but only where the destination is to open in the same window/tab (some listings go to a new window, some don't). I am logging clicks via an ajax request in the onclick event, which is working fine when the listing is to open in a new window, but it appears that when a new window is not to be opened, the ajax never gets sent.A have constructed the following minimal test case:
index.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" [code].....
Note the line commented '****' in index.html which cancels the action of the link. When this is not commented out, the ajax request is sent correctly. Without it (the desired situation) the ajax request never gets sent. Its as if Safari saves up the ajax requests to do later, but never sends them as the new page cancels all such 'saved up' actions.I am using the Safari web developer tools, but I have also checked this test case by checking the Apache logs. Note that as a test case I don't pretend that it will work in IE, but it should work in standards compliant browsers and has been tested on Firefox 3.6.6 and Opera 10.6. The Apache logs show that logger.txt is being requested, unless it is already in the browser cache.Possible workarounds I've considered, but would prefer to avoid:
On the site in question the only such links that currently open in the same window are internal, so I do have the option of logging safari clicks by logging these requests as opposed to clicks and checking the http referer on the server side. As this is not a very flexible solution as it relies on these specific circumstances, also relies on all other links successfully making a new window, and furthermore relying on http referer could result in false negatives I'd rather find a solution within the javascript.I haven't checked whether an asynchonous request would work, but I don't wish to do this anyway just in case there is ever a server problem that prevents the response coming back (note that for these purposes the response is actually superfluous - we are sending the server a message but don't need anything back). I also want to avoid the delay in sending the user to the destination - there is no point having to wait for a response we don't need.Lastly, and my prefered workaround unless I can find anything better, is to make Safari (only) open all links in a new window anyway.
I have a hyperlink that opens a new window. I have used the following events to control the status bar:
Code:
<a href="..." onmouseover="window.status='Click Here'return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''>....</a>
This works fine, but when the user clicks the link, the actual URL is displayed in the status bar (if the user clicks and holds the mouse button it displays until they release).
Is there a way to stop the message appearing altogether?

I have a form that calls a perl script. A few javascript routines in
the form do a few things prior to submitting. For some reason,
however, the perl script is being called twice (the perl script sends
out an email, and submitting the form once results in two identical
emails.)
Here are excerpts from the script that I believe to be relevant (I can
post more if this isn't enough, but it's long and I'm trying to keep
it brief.) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've read about
how you need to return true after calling the javascript via a button
click, but I've done this kind of thing in other places and it's
worked fine. I've also tried inserting a return statement here in the
function and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Strange. (BTW, I
changed the domain name in the URL out of courtesy to my client, just
FYI.) Code:

is there a way to do this the same, easy way using javascript?
I have this case:
1) There are 2 tipes of li: li.chosen that contains a single string. This string will be replaced frequently.
2) Each li.pick when clicked must send its text to li.chosen, but first the string of li.chosen must be erased. In short words, I want this list to act as a selector.

On the main window, you click a link and it pops up another window, where you can do some stuff, and ultimatly you get a variable that has some value to it. Now, when the user clicks "All Done", I want that variable value to be become the value of a hidden input "attachments" back in the main window.
Code:
<script language="javascript">
function sendUploads() {
var newValue = ƈ'
parent.document.addform.attachments.value = newValue;
}
</script>
The main window's form is called "addform" and the hidden input is called "attachments".

This is the javascript used to get the values and send them, when they come back the alert message shows Name as blank. I've looked in the PHP file to see if I made a mistake but I don't see anything.
