Smart AJAX Autosave?
Dec 5, 2006
I have an autosave feature that, well... autosaves every minute. Now I could very well become the biggest abuser of my own feature. I currently have 8 windows open - I tend to just leave windows open for a long time. As a result, the javascript would be running every minute saving, creating unnecessary load on the server.
How could I make the autosave smart and only save if they are actively "working" with it? The only thing I can really think of is to have like a variable that sets to true whenever something happens, set to false whenever it saves, and only save when the var is true. Problem is, I have a lot of functions for events that I would need to attach it to... I'm sure I would miss it somewhere.

I was playing around with the compose feature of gmail today and I noticed that it seemed to have an extremely intelligent auto-save feature. What intrigued me about it was that it only seemed to auto-save the document when you were not working on it and when there was actually something that needed to be done.
However the most interesting (i.e., bit that stumped me) was how while in the middle of auto-uploading a large attached file I am able to edit the e-mail and yet when it has finished uploading the attachment (and the page seemingly refreshes) the changes I made to the e-mail are still there.
Could anyone be so kind as to enlighten me as to just how exactly the auto-save feature works (as I am interested implementing something similar for my own site), especially in the region of attachment handling.
I know that they must have some kind of JavaScript on-key-press callback that detects when you are working on a document but that is about all I can extrapolate.

jQuery Plugin: [URL]. I've been trying for 3days to get this plugin to work, I've contacted the developers and no response. the demo on the site seems to work with a json output but the downloaded code & example does not work. I'm trying to get it to work with PHP as the backend and nothing. The instructions are very vague like a lot of jquery plugins. Are there any developers or experience jquery plugin users that can assist with telling me how to get this plugin to work correctly?

I need to send the contents of a ExtJS Textarea to the backend server for saving (autosave facility) as the user types in. How do I buffer the contents and push the buffer to the server after some threshold value. I've done as below:

If I have the following variable which contains the drop down menu for list of card numebrs:
var abc='<option value="1234567890123456">1234567890123456</option><option value="0987654321987654">0987654321987654</option><option value="0147852369014785">0147852369014785</option>'
How can I pass this variable to a function and mask only the dispalyed card number? i.e. to have the following result:
<option value="1234567890123456">1234XXXXXXXX3456</option><option value="0987654321987654">0987XXXXXXXX7654</option><option value="0147852369014785">0147XXXXXXXX4785</option>
Note: the number of options in the drop down menu may varry, in this example its only 3 options, it might be more or less, this is why I called it "Smart Substring".

I am trying to write a regex that will parse BBcode into HTML using
JavaScript. Everything was going smoothly using the string class
replace() operator with regex's until I got to the list tag.
Implementing the list tag itself was fairly easy. What was not was
trying to handle the list items. For some reason, in BBcode, they
didn't bother defining an end tag for a list item. I guess that they
designed it with bad old HTML 3.2 in mind where you could make a list
by using:
<ul>
<li>item 1
<li>item2
</ul>
However, I need to make this XHTML compliant, so I needed to add the
</li> tag into the mix. Unfortunately, the only way to find where to
put it is to find the next[*] (<li>) tag or an open list (in the case
of nested lists) or close list tag. I was trying to get a rule that
handles the list items to work, but it only matches the first item in
any list. Here is the line of code:
bbcode =
bbcode.replace(/[list(=1|=a|)](.*?)[*](.*?)([*]|[list]|[/list])/g,
'[list$1]$2<li>$3</li>$4');
First, I check to make sure that the list item is inside a list. Then,
I match the[*] tag to find the start of the item, then I match either
the next[*],, orto determine the end of the item.
This successfully prevents a list item outside of a list from being
made into a <li> element, but only matches the first list item in a
list. Is there any way to make this match all occurances of this
pattern without looping over the statement until the pattern can no
longer be found?

I'm fooling around with building a form that grows depending on the users input (relatively new to DOM 2 - but fun stuff!) I'm working on getting it to work (rather than being pretty - there are many improvements that could be made).
My question is has anyone seen any similar examples out there? The more I build on this thing, the more I believe there has to be another way... (like rather than creating every pull-down box - yes, I should put that into it's own function! - should I be playing with visibility and positioning?) Code:

I have an application where I have 9 items to choose from and desire a table that will allow only 3 items (any 3 items) to be chosen then check out of the table.Check out can not be allowed unless only 3 items are selected.
Is the JScript applications somewhere that will perform this logic?

I'm using this rich text editor. Whenever a user pastes rich text from a program like Microsoft Word, the program's smart quotes are not understood by the browser (they appear as a diamond with a question mark in it). I ran a php function on the post value to replace all quotes with ascii characters, but realized that it also replaces the quotes present in the html generated by the javascript.Is there a way to convert smart quotes to normal quotes without also tampering with the html content?

How can I write javascript codes to interact with a smart card reader? I have found some activex controls and examples, but I think, it will be limited to IE only.How can I make it run in all browsers, if the card reader driver is installed, and the hardware is available for use?My problem is to make sure that the user puts his/her own smart card in the reader unit before he signs up in a website (a particular website, that I will be coding for).

what is the best way to count the seconds between each onkeyup to "autosave" without sending an ajax command after each key? id like my script to update after 2 seconds of no typing.... (yes, jquery is in use on the page)
function microtime (get_as_float) {
var now = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
var s = parseInt(now, 10);
return (get_as_float) ? now : (Math.round((now - s) * 1000) / 1000) + ' ' + s;
}
[Code]....
i'd use onchange or onblur but that requires you to unfocus the field before it saves...

I have created a similar smart search like yellowpages:[URL]... Here is the problem I have with mine:
Lets say I search 'Attorneys' I start typing 'Att' ... then 'Attorneys' shows up in the smart search so I click on it and press enter. The next time I start typing 'Att' my browsers saved search field pops up over the websites smart search. Here is an image which might help explain the problem a bit more:

I found this code online. It detects if vertical scrollbars are present in your browser, and if so, it adds a link to the top of the page at the bottom of the open page.
The only thing is, it prints the link in the bottom left corner of the screen, and I really need it to show up in a specific area. Does anyone know of a similar script I can use for that? I want one that will only show up if the page has vertical scrollbars. Code:

I'm creating an AJAX page that is built using a PHP Class, ie the php looks a bit like this: PHP Code:
$wp_page->addjs('../var/savepolicies.js')
$wp_parser->page = "userpolicywindow.php";
$wp_parser->addlink("Home","../index.php","");
$wp_parser->addlink("Logout","javascript:logout();","");
$wp_parser->getpageid("501");
[Code]...
within this page that has been created, there is an AJAX tree folder which calls another page to be loaded into a DIV by AJAX again. Code:
[Code]...
I don't know why it doesn't work because the page has been loaded with the JS file, but as soon as the link is added afterwards it doesn't work. I take it this is because it doesn't know where to find the JS, but how can I overcome this?

jquery provides ajaxStart() and ajaxStop() events. Those two events do not seem to be triggered if the ajax requests are made by Microsoft Ajax tool Kit (from ASP.Net code). Is there any way to bridge those two event models? If not currently possible, is there any future initiative or plan out there to make this happen?

i have a series of <select> fields. The first one, via ajax(), generates a 2nd one, based on the first ones' data with the .change() method. there is then a 3rd <select> - who's data will depend on choice of the second one although step 1 works, and i can generate the 2nd one, i still can't generate the 3rd one.
when i test the script on its own, both the 2nd and 3rd <select> fields are fine - but not via the ajax, which leads me to believe that the .change() from the 2nd one, isnt triggering the ajax call - its not being picked up (even the 'hello' alert isnt working).

I was playing a little bit with a lot of ajax frameworks. I have even
wrote one small by myself. But one thing still drives me crazy: Whenever
I'm doing an ajax call I need to specify handler to handle data coming
from a server script. That means that almost for every action I need two
functions.
Since I'm still new to all of this I'd like to ask how can i achieve
something like this:
function function_name(el) {
var i_need_this = get_what_i_need(el.id);
return _i_need_this;
}
where get_what_i_need function is returning some information using ajax
from a server.

I've noticed a strange behavior with Ajax in internet explorer. In my page I've four links, that call four different pages by using XMLHttpMethod. By entering for the first time in the page and selecting the various links, all work correctly (the 4 pages are called and displayed into the page), but if I click again on a link previously clicked, trying to repeat the call, the responseText won't to appear!
