Using Javascript To Determine If File Exists On Host Site
Jul 20, 2005
I'm new to javascript and PHP and I am wondering if there is a method or function to capture a 404 error in the event a particular html file cannot be found. I want to redirect that error to another page or design the code to send me an email telling me what page was selected and not found. In other languages I can trap such an error and respond to it.
I won't lie to you. I'm trying to get data from html source from a 3rd party website. I'm NOT interested in stealing code,hacking,sending spam or anything sinister like that. I just want the content that is displayed but I need to get it automatically via VB. It's only publicly available price information but I don't think the website wants everyone to be scraping their info into a database.
Apart from the base URL, the site concerned navigates solely through javascript functions and session variables. I suppose what I'm asking is, is there anything out there that tells me (the syntax) of what my browser is actually sending to a website when I click a javascript toolbar/button/dropdown within IE.
I have designed a site. It's working properly in locally.Now I want to insert a special javascript on my home page.The job of that special javascript is, makes some errors in the site when site is going to publish on internet.
Using Javascript, how do I determine if there is a DIV with a particular CSS class name on the page? (Not an ID...) I'm writing a function to perform an action if it finds that DIV on the page.
How do I determine whether a variable exists in a form. I have a form called "theForm". I want to determine whether the variable "THIRD_PARTY" exists in the form and if it has been set.
I'm looking for an image cropping tool script that I can provide on my website for users to crop their uploaded photo on my site and I can store them directly on my host. (instead of having to go to another page, or open up photoshop etc, crop their photo, save, and then upload to my site) I see some websites providing this service, does anyone know any scripts that allows me to do this?
This is just a matter of best-practice, but i'm wondering whether it is best to host the jquery.js file locally, or to hotlink directly to the file on [URL]. I personally prefer to host it on my server, but if there are reasons why it's better to link to external file, i'd like to know them.
I am having troubles finding a way to use JavaScript to see if a file exists before an ASP file upload script runs. Is there an Exists check for JavaScript? I thought I found an ObjectName.Exists but doing this did not work.
In client side, we can check if some image exists using onerror. I wish the same behavior to check files used in object tag (in client cache, not in file system), like swf, wmv and wma, etc.
I am trying to find a way to search to see if there is a specific file located in the current directory on the server. If a folder contains file1.txt or file2.txt and depending on which file is in that folder change a certain javascript variable. What it comes down to is, is there a way to search for specific files on the server and limit that to the current directory/folder.
Now I need a function included in the creatpage.js, that checks if a file exists,(eg drum000.html) if it does, go there, if it doesn't, try drum001.html
I have a frame's onload event calling a function which needs to know which file was loaded. Is there any java object/method to determine the file name or any type of file id?
This is probably going to show how new I am to jQueryI have a form with an input text field for entering a URL. The user will most likely paste a URL and I want to automatically verify it's status once the user leaves the field. Basically just make sure the page loads ok.I've found dozens of topics that are close to this, but my lack of jQuery skills is hindering me from adapting any of them properly.
Referring to following link, I would like to determine the link for "In-Depth.xls", based on following coding, I find related information for Excel.png, does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the URL for Excel file? http://fx.aastocks.com/en/forex/market/dbindepth.aspx?country=66970&indicator=47
I tried searching in the forums for this, but the search function keeps saying I can't search on less then 3 keywords? (I used the string in the subject!) Anyway... is this possible? I want to determine if JS is enabled, and display a "you must enable javascript to continue" if not.
I want to create a link to an email conference which is on 2 servers. Some users will only be registered on server1 and others will be registered on server2. however I don't know which users are on which server.
Is it possible to create some kind of JavaScript function which attempts to open a link to server1 and then if this fails default to server2. It would be far more user friendly.
Is it possible to use javascript to write information to a log file that's on an external site? What I want to do is have a person put their name and birthday into a form on my site, and then output that information to a partnering site's log file which would be something like www.whatever.com/whatever.file Is this possible? what file type can javascript write to? I put .file because I am unsure.
This is a follow up with a new question from a post I did last week. [Code]... I have an experimental website where I have music recordings. url removed When you open the site, each page uses a piano keyboard graphic to navigate between pages. If you click on a key that says "Jukebox" it will open a small window and continuously play tunes. The way the jukebox works basically is, when you click the jukebox key it calls an html file which contains the information needed to play the first song. When that song is finished it calls another html file with the information to play the second song and so on. Each html file contains an embedded Windows Media Player in it.
I would like to give visitors the option to use the QuickTime player. So I can have one key in the keyboard graphic that say “Jukebox – for Windows Media Players” and then another key in the graphic that would say “Jukebox – for QuickTime players”. I would like to use both keys to call the same html file. So, in the file I would like to:
1. Determine which key was pressed in the graphic. (how to send a parameter from the keyboard graphic file indicating which key was pressed) 2. With that parameter I would then like to invoke the appropriate player. (how to receive that parameter)
I call methods in a Java applet with javascript code like this:
document.myApplet.methodName(); This works great when the applet has loaded (the JVM has started and dowloaded all the jars) but it fails if the applet hasn't loaded yet, at which point it gives an error: Quote:
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Is there a way to determine that the applet is loaded or not so that I can use it in an if statement? For instance, like so: Code: if (isAppletLoaded()) { document.myApplet.methodName(); } I tried Code: document.myApplet == null but that didn't work.
I am working on a registration page.I did all the validation but facing problem during username validation.when a user enter email id in the textbox,it first check whether it is present in database or not.. if not present "register successfully" otherwise "email exists"
Im trying to find the correct syntax to use to determine whether which form element is visible on changing the value in a dropdown list I need something in the onChange of the dropdown list that will cause the appropriate element on another part of the page to be displayed Code:
var mydropdownlist = document.questform.typeid.options[document.questform.typeid.selectedIndex].v alue; if(mydropdownlist<6) then display <input name="ans1" type="text" > else display <textarea name="ans1" rows="1" ></textarea>
I have a JS file on site A which needs a few parameters from a short text file on site B. Since crossing domain boundaries in JS is problematic, the way I do it is that the JS actually opens an intermediate PHP file on site A which redirects to the destination page in site B. Here's how it goes:
The call is made through code...
The problem is that this takes a long time. I would really like to speed this up. For example - I thought of using a direct IP address, so that there won't be any need a DNS server (using Code...
) but this would expose me to hackers as it would make my Hostgator username visible. According to HG support the above format is the only way to access my subsite via direct IP.
Any ideas on how to speed this up, either by bypassing DNS (but without exposing username) or by offering another way of reading data across sites?
I have a flash banner commercial that has to appear on a news site. it has live video and sound in it and im going over the size limit on that site (100kb).
They told me that i could do it like this company and host the file on a different site but make it appear on the news site with a script. Here�s how it looks like.code...
