JQuery :: Architecture Choice / Whole-nine-yards-open-source Sample Application
Mar 25, 2011I have been away from development for a while and I'm looking for a way to get back into it. I have two questions:
1) Is the choice of javascript framework independent of the choices of all the other application parts like the object-relational mapping layer, the app server, etc? Right now, I'm looking at JQuery, and ExtJS.
2) Does anyone know where I can get a complete sample application made of open source parts and using all the best practices that I can just copy to get started?
And I mean complete... as if a real life functioning enterprise the likes of Google just zipped up their whole open-source production and development hard drives and made it all available for people to download, unzip, and run... mysql database, bug tracking system, build system, version control, connection pooling services, web server, app server, javascript libraries, internationalization resources, configured IDE, etc. etc. All of everything configured and wrapped up in a single zip file ready to go with just a few changes to IP addresses and passwords. From that we could just change things to build our own first app.I've tried getting started with a bunch of different open source application stacks and I always get stuck. And every time it happens I wonder why I can't just copy someone's entire web development folder. It's open-source and it's just ones and zeroes. Why can't we just copy it and skip the setup process and the time of figuring out best practices on our own?

Analysing Flow Of A Javascript Application
Sep 8, 2006My work is putting in a large application that is basically split up
between 30 or so Javascript files. I have some security concerns about
this application.
Basic security concerns is:
1. Possible SQL injection and other forms of injection attacks on URLS
of various server side components javascript accesses.
2. possible client side database access.
3. Incorrect use of http get for operations with possible side effects.
The security problems are probably relatively harmless. Mainly because
the application should be running behind firewall.
However I would like to have an analysis tool that can go over the
javascript code and allow me to see what urls are being called with
what parameters.
Javascript that writes new javascript into page (so I can get all
javascript files of application for analysis)
I know there are various javascript profilers and the like, anything
out there that helps in the analysis of this kind of application?

HTML Application - Can Javascript Write To A Local Database?
Jul 23, 2005IE 6.0 (not interested in other browsers at the moment)
I have looked everywhere I can find to look and googled until I am
cross-eyed and am hoping somebody knows what I'm doing wrong.
I have an HTML application (.hta) working fine, except one thing. I'm
trying to write to a local database from a .htm window (opened from
the main .hta window) and it doesn't work with any of the combinations
I've tried (and I admit to having tried a lot).
Here is one method I've tried:
strSQL = "Update myTable SET myField = 'myValue' WHERE myID = 12;"
var db = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");
db.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0";0
db.ConnectionString = "Data Source='c:myDirectorymyDatabase.mdb'";
db.Open;
db.execute(strSQL);
I can easily access the information in the myDatabase.mdb and display
it on the screen.
I can ask for updated information to be input on the screen.
But stuffing that updated information back into the database is the
problem.
Since I'm stuck in an .htm window, I don't have VBScript available, do
I? If VBScript isn't available and it isn't physically possible with
Javascript, then I'll have to revert to .hta windows, where I know I
have VBScript available. But I'd rather do it all in Javascript
within the .htm so as to avoid the security message that pops up when
the .hta opens a new .hta. For various reasons I don't think it is
possible for me to do this whole project within a single .hta.
Trying To Use The GoTo Method Of The Word.Application ActiveX Object In JavaScript
Dec 11, 2006I am trying to use the Goto method of the Word ActiveX object. I am
trying to open a document and go to a named bookmark. If I use this
code in VB it works, so I'm sure the approach is possible, I just can't
get JavaScript to work with it.
Here is the code I am using, the error I get from IE is Object
Expected:
Hope someone can help! Any help would be much appreciated
function PageLoad()
{
var WordApp = new ActiveXObject('Word.Application');
WordApp.Visible = true;
var documentlocation = crmForm.all.new_documentlocation.DataValue;
var wd = WordApp.Documents.Open(documentlocation);
wd.Select();
var Name = 'TestFred'
var wr = wd.Selection.GoTo(What : Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToBookmark,Name :
'TestFred');
}

Open File At URL With Javascript
Jul 20, 2005I would like to include text from an external file in my html file. This is
normally done with <object> or <iframe> but in this case the style sheet and
internal links (like <a href="#positiononpage">) do not work. So I thought
of writing a little script which does the following
- open the file http://something.com/textfile.htm
- put the content of that file in variable "var"
- document.write(var)
Is this possible? (also without using activeX objects)
Seen The New Javascript Ad Open On Yahoo?

Javascript Open Link In Same Window
Jul 23, 2005I have a form that I would like to get the values entered on the page
and go to a new page in the same window. I can make the code work to
open a new window, but I need it to open in the same window. Here is what I have:
function pass_info() {
var info = "";
info += document.form2.productWeight.value;
window.open("/page/shippingrates/calculate_shipping_before.asp"
+ "?" + "weight=" + info,");
}
I know that it is the window.open, but I have not figured out what I
need to do to get it in the same window.
Open External URL In New Window And Run Javascript
Nov 13, 2006I would like to have a page on my site containing links to external URLs. When I click on these links, a new window should open with the new URL and some text formatting javascript (or other language) code be applied to it. This would be like loading a new URL and then apply a bookmarklet to it. But I want to be able to do both in one shot. you click on the link, open a new window, and apply the code to the URL. Also, when you open the new window, the location bar should show the external URL, not mine. It doesn't have to necessarily be done with Javascript.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOpen/Close Lightbox From JavaScript
Sep 6, 2007What I am trying to figure out but having difficulty with is opening and closing a Lightbox from JavaScript. For example, if I use this html...
<a href="#testLB" rel="testLB" class="lbOn">Test Lightbox</a>
It will display a div since I coded this div in the HTML file...
<div id="testLB" class="leightbox">
<h1>Test</h1>
<a href="javascript: test();">Change Zip</a>
</div>
What I want to be able to do is to display this div with Lightbox but do it from JavaScript. For example, from the body onLoad event I would like to call a JavaScript function that opens a Lightbox.
Then, the Lightbox is going to contain a few fields so I was going to have JavaScript validate that the user entered all the fields. If they did, I then want to close the Lightbox. If they did not, I will display an alert message. I can get all of this to work except having JavaScript close (actually, it is hiding) a Lightbox div. Can someone help me figure out how to hide the div from a JavaScript function?
What I downloaded was Lightbox Gone Wild which I think is also called Leightbox.

View 3 Replies View RelatedJavaScript In SVG "cross Compatability" With Window.open
Jul 23, 2005I have a static .svg file with embedded onclick="open()"'s all over.
The svg is <embed>ded in a minimal .html file.
The onclick's work fine in IE w/Adobe SVG viewer 3: click and a new
window opens with the specified URL.
But using the Adobe SVG viewer in Mozilla, neither the mouseovers or
the onclicks work, although the image itself renders.
However, the PRIMARY problem that I need to fix is that the onclick's
don't work in Safari with the Adobe viewer. The mouseovers DO work,
but the onclick's do not.
I've tried specifying window.open() instead of just open(). I've also
tried changing the onclicks to call a function openNewWindow which in
turn calls window.open. Still no luck in safari.
I've also tried defining the openNewWindow function in the html
wrapper, and specifying a3:scriptImplementation="browser". In this
case, the SVG still functions as desired in IE, but neither the
mouseovers nor the onclicks work in Safari.
To summarize, I need to get a new window with a specified URL to open
on click for Safari with the Adobe SVG viewer 3.
Multilanguage Application

is there some particular library, or do you have some

Is there some standard format?
