I have a query related to the life cycle of the java web page. When does the javascript page unload event gets invoked exactly?
Say suppose I am on page 1 and submit the page 1 or click on some link to view the page 2. The dollowing sequence of events will happen:
1. The user (on page 1) clicks on some link (pointing to page 2) on page 1 OR submits the page
2. The browser would send the request to the app server for page 2
3. The app server processes the request
4. The app server sends the resposne to the browser
5. The browser loads/displays the page 2
6. Invokes JS page load event on the browser
Now the question is - when does the JS unload event get invoked? As per my it is after Step 4 & Step 6. Is it always fired in this sequence OR is there any possibility that page unload event would be triggered before Step 4?
I am trying to initiate fancybox popup on page unload (i.e. when the user closes the browser window). I managed to find the following script which does the opposite (launches when the page loads). How can I reverse this code so that it executes on body unload?
I have aded window unload event handler to my code. my page calls some function that takes few secs and page then loads in 5-6 secs. while ths page is loading, if user clicks 'x' on browser window, then code inside unload event handler doesnt get executed. if user waits for page to be loaded fully and hten clicks 'x', then unload event handler gets executed. but i want if during loading user decides to click 'x' button, then also unload handler shold get exucted.
I am pasting a sample code that simulates my situation:
I want to know that how can we fire unload event of body tag using javascript and I want to it for safari browser.I goole this many times but I am not getting the right.I know this is a very simple question for many users but I am a begginer of javascript.
What code can I put in the 'onbeforeunload' event to cancel the 'unload' action (when user closes browser) and then present the user with an alert saying that he/she must use the logout button.
I am using window.unload for some use case in my code. But windows.unload fires on every event. I know to controller it on event like button click or link, but how do I prevent Unload event to fire on refresh or back button event?
Do I have a way (when I get the unload) to distinguish between X button and another cases(for example when moving writing another URL address)? I want to decide what message to display to the user when I get to the unload event, if this possible to do?
I have a entry form which inserts data 2 DB. while the user entering info if he wants to click on any url in left nav pane there should show message: the data won't be saved if you navigate from this page. I have written some code..it works fine but if i Hit submit button on the form It wont submit, still gives the same popup -the data won't be saved if you navigate from this page.
HRE IS my code:
BUT this works only if i try to navigate from page. But it still prevents the submission.
Its like xyz.com/index.html is hosted under us and it can be edited by many people. Some spammers edit the above index.html to javascript redirect to abc.com. I want to figure out this pages in my site xyz.com .Is there any way to track the abc.com domain on unload of the page xyz.com . Please let me know if you need any more information.
I have figured out how to load a fragment into a container but "unloading" is not as clear. Suggest how to do this properly? I tried load() with no arguments and unoad() but nothing works quite right...
I am extensively using jquery.ajax calls to display data on my web page (which build using partial rendering). In certain navigation flow a user move from one page to another. Before he moves I need to capture information filled in by user in first page(form) and save it in java script variable. Since my complete page is built using partial rendering the first form gets unloaded and new form gets loaded making ajax call. In order to capture the data user has filled in first form I have tried to use [URL].. (form_id is the id of the form in the page) to update the java script variable with user's input for form1. But neither scenario my call back function gets fired. I am not sure if I unload will be corrent event to add callback function to update user input.
I'm using excluded javascript files and just load them into my app, if needed. But if not needed anymore (e. g. content change), I'd like to "unload" them ...
Tried "Google & friends", but the results send me here ...
I am working on a page that will load in other pages using AJAX and the .html method. Something like this :
<span id = "edit">Edit</span> <div id = "cont"> </div> //the click edit script
[Code]....
Unfortunately this does not seem to work, entirely. It does trigger the click event but it messes up the post for some reason. I have played around with it for the last 45 minutes or so and it seems like the click event trigger is what is messing things up, if I comment it out it works fine. Could anyone tell me why they think this is? note this is an over simplified version of my actual code, but the structure is the same.
I want to add a global event handler for mousedown that will register whenever the user clicks anywhere on the page but I'm having trouble.This is what I'm trying to do:
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body"); alert(body); body.addEventListener(mouseDown, myHandler);[code]....
But the event handler is never called. I can't even seem to get access to the body. Is the body tag the wrong place to be assigning the mousedown handler? I'm trying to make this code work correctly in both IE and firefox.
We have an Ajax error callback that notifies the user that something went wrong. The ajax call takes some time, and sometimes the user navigates away while the ajax is in progress.
That causes the error callback to be fired. However, in the error callback I can't seem to detect that the reason for the error is that the page is unloading so as to distinguish this from other errors. In the callback, this is true: (textStatus === "error" && errorThrown === "" && jqXHR['status'] === 0 && jqXHR['statusText'] === "error").
Im trying to have a click event that replaces an image on the page with a new image that has been selected randomly from an array. I have solved PART of this already (can get the random image to appear).
However, instead of appearing on the page where the old image was, the new image appears in a blank page.
My research indicates that this blank page location-problem is a result of using document.write in the Function. Therefore, I know I need to find a different way to accomplish this, but am failing miserably.
I have been trying for hours and hours and HOURS to figure out proper syntax for accomplishing this via elements, functions, variables and mootools.
A bit of my research:
-I found this---but havent figured out how to implement it in my scenario:
Source: [url]
-I found this---but havent figured out how to implement it in my scenario:
My problem is with the onClick event. If I preface the event with a call to the function (as per the code snippet below); and the function returns a true, then the window.location doesn't execute (the same as if the function returns a false).
If I preface the onClick event with the window.location, i.e. onClick="window.location='devSimpleForm.asp?cmdAction=ptoTest&employee=' + document.form1.employee.value"; return empSelected(this) >
the function call is still executed, but, even with a False, the new page (devSimpleForm.asp) still loads & runs.
I already have a 'submit' button used to open a different page, so I seem to be stuck with the onClick event handler.
Can anyone help so that a 'false' won't load/run the next page, and a 'true' will? :confused:
function empSelected(objForm) {
if (form1.employee.value == "") { alert("You must choose an employee!") form1.employee.focus() return false } alert("We're being returned with TRUE") return true }//-----------------------------
How can I capture the event when I click with the cursor anywhere in the page (that is, on a component or elsewhere). This event would occure in an I.E 5.5 or later browser.
I thought this will be a simple question, but it seen like hard to find a fast and simple solution. I am working on an online sign in tool. Two browser windows are open at the same time. One is for people to sign in with password and submit their information; another one is for Administrator to see who sign in. I am trying to refresh the Administrator page whenever user finished sign in and submitted their information. These two pages cannot be parent and child page. What will be the easiest way to solve this in ColdFusion or JavaScript?
I want the page to completely ignore all mouse clicks. I can create the onmouseclick event and return false, but that only disables certain types of things. I can still, for example, click in a text box and then type something or change the selection in a dropdown list. I tried returning false in the onmousedown event, but that didn't do the trick. I'd rather not have to disabled all the controls on the page. Any ideas?
I have some simple code to make a link open on page load. When the code fires it shows the alert 'clicked' but then nothing happens. The url is generated with APEX and if i click the link on the page physically the alert fires and the page redirects to the linked Url. Why isn't the click event working?
I want to get rid of a flicker. It's caused by moving page content around with jquery's document.ready() function. The problem is the page is displayed, then the content moved, and then redisplayed again causing the "flicker." I just need a to move the content before the page is displayed the first time. Is there an event that runs after the content is loaded but before it is displayed? The code is simply:
