Capture External Text Page To String Var
Sep 7, 2011
I can view plain text public data from a government web page. But I want to capture that text and put it into a string var in a javascript to parse the data for display in a very different way (create graphical indicators).
1. How do I get the www.webtext.gov/textpage.txt into a string var.
2. I would prefer to use pure javascript as my users are very diverse and not all of them have recent brosers (IE8 or 9, Firefox 4, 5 or 6, etc.).
3. I would be able to use php on the server if that would do it.
I have be days searching the web for a solution but have found none that suits my purpose.

I have a PHP form with a html section at the bottom. There are 14 input text fields on the form and I want the form to send of the email as it should do and also take the name field, pass it to the following web page and display it in a <div> tag.
I think the relevant code looks like this
HTML section
Can I capture the input from FieldData0 and send it to the next webpage by Javascript or as a cookie? Or to have then confirm their name in a second form and automatically capture it before the submit button.
I have no script on the following page yet.

How do I capture the current URL to a string? What I want to do is

I have little experience with php & javascript hybrid pages. A friend has a webform php page that has the html form code at the bottom. The form works well but I want to take the first input text field and have it displayed in a <div> on the page the form is directed to. I have tried a few things but can't get it to work.

First, with AJAX I will get a remote web page into a string. Thus, a
string will contain HTML tags and such. I will need to extract text
from one <span> for which I know the ID the inner text.
Is it possible to access in this way "string variable".getElementByID()
somehow?
PS: Just thinking of a proper/efficient way to extract the information
from such a string. I am open to other ideas. I could load that page in
IFRAME and get my access to DOM that way, yet probably it is not an
eligant solution.

I have a web server built in to our Student Data system. I want to put a teacher survey form out there but can't modify the DB and have no cgi ... darn proprietary web server.
Can I use JS to save form values to a separate text file? So far the best I can do is appendData() into the current html.

I've got a function, you can see it below, that is being called
onmouseup in the textarea on my main form. The idea is to find a
selection if possible and store that text in a global variable. I can't
get this to work in any browser on a Mac, though it works alright on a
PC. What am I missing?

I have been trying to find a simple way to capture the page title for a form that will be used throughout my site.Basically, creating a javascript function to allow a user to email a page to a colleague. Of course I only want to have one form, so I wanted to capture the referrering page information.I have had no trouble capturing the referring URL using javascript, associating it with a form field and passing it through PHP validation and emailing it.I am having trouble doing the same for the title. I have tried to capture these with an onLoad event, but that didn't work (for title only - works for others).
Here's the js which is referenced on the html pages (link to external file):
// JavaScript Document
function start() {
var ref = document.getElementById('httpref');
[code]....

i was wondering if it is possible to load text into a string from an
external text file. the reason is that i have a very large string and
it is making my script very messy.
also, is it possible to have some dynamic parts of the text from the
text file? for example, if i load in a string and there is a part of
it that inserts a value from a variable like the following:
'The number of people is ' + var_people_num;
....so the text from the external file would load but these parts would
be given the value of a variable contained in the script that calls
the external file. its not absolutely crucial that i obtain this but
it would help me seperate large chunks that complicate the script.

I am new to jQuery. My background is C++ and C#. Once I have the html using selectors and filters is not hard to understand. My problem is understanding how to capture a live html page in jQuery and assign the page to an object which I can then use to extract information using basic selector and filter functions.

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello, I would like to know if I can load a small text from a external source into a textarea. the external source is a php that will write some clean text depending on the vars received. I know load() can do the job for a div but I don't think it will work for a textarea.

My goal is to load the JS for a specific element before displaying that element. I integrated a third part script, and it works well. I set the timer here:
The JS is in my heading as <script type="text/javascript" src="countdownpro.js"></script>
About mid-body I have: <span id="countdown1">2010-07-20 00:00:00 GMT+00:00</span> which allows for the setting of a target date to countdown to.
When the page first loads it shows the above long format target time, until the js/meta tags kick in to modify it to just show the actual countdown as 00:00:00.
I have attached countdownpro.js to this post. I tried shifting the function CD_Init() to the top of the script, and also appended it inline with the .html. I tried setting the big external script to "defer", but neither arrangement worked. I also tried placing the src file right at the top.

I currently have a web applet in straight up Java that allows for a user to interact with a flowchart. I need to convert it to pure Javascript due to technological restrictions on technologies I can use on the school's servers. My original applet parses information from text files that contain information about courses, descriptions, credit hours, etc. I've been googling to see if there is a way to use Javascript to parse these same files for information, but my google-fu is failing me.So my question -- is it possible to, using Javascript, read information out of an external file?

I'm currently working on a site and need to have a small section that displays 5 or 6 headlines. The same headlines will displayed on various pages and will occassionally be updated.
The site pages are static .html in design and i'd prefer to keep it that way rather than start introducing php for such a minor part of the site.
I am wondering if there is a javascript solution to this, whereby the headlines could be loaded via a .txt / .xml document or something similar?? That way i could just manually update the file and reload it to the server and the headlines would be updated.
I guess i'm think something similar to cushyCMS but that i can implement directly.

I have multiple poems [3 in this trial] (held as external .txt files containing <br> line breaks) that i wish to display at random on each site visit. I don't know how to load them into a specific 'div' area or (if necessary) assign them to a variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
var whichpoem=1+(Math.round(Math.random()*(2)));
var group='/poem'+whichpoem+'.txt';
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open('GET', group);
client.send();
$.get(group, function(data){
$("body").append(data);
});
</script>

I have a small script (it prints the date in the UK fashion ) that i
want to include on several but not all the pages on my web site.
it seems illogical to type all the code on every page, I understand I
can put the code in a file lets call it do_date.js and have it used by
the pages it is needed on, i just don't seem to be able to get it to
work.

I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible.I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading:
<td class="smallDesc"> <a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </td>

I want users to specify external sites, a) include them, and let b) users annotate certain paragraphs of text.
a)
As this sites are external (not on the same domain) I cannot use iframes since I cannot select text then, as I understood, right? So I need to create a proxy page which integrates them in the local domain. If this works, I guess the problem are relative urls - does anyone know a good way to correct these? Furthermore, do I need an iframe, or is there another way?
b)
I would like users to be able to select text paragraphs and add a description. Ideally I would get XPath for the selection. Is there a tool/plugin to do this? Like select some text and get the XPath for it?
