View 1 RepliesI posted the same post in PHP section but thought might be related to Javascript too. So here goes:
I want to create a decent log at clients side to show alerts from server.
So, server should be able to see a list of connected clients (registered user) on the website, and select a few of them, type something in textbox, clicks send to all of selected clients, and the message is shown in the log at client's website. Also plays a simple sound file when clients receive new message in the log.
Can I make a list of hyperlinks that users can customize and save as a cookie by clicking a button and automatically retrieve the cookie so it remembers their list next time? This is kind of what I want to do:
[Code]...
I would like to know the working of this code in brief.
function getCookie(c_name){
if (document.cookie.length>0){
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start!=-1){
c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
}} return "";
}
I can't seem to be able to retrieve a cookie with my MooTools script. I'm trying to output some code with an if() statement that verifies that the cookie is indeed there, but it's not working correctly. I'm not sure why. Here's my code...
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var read = Cookie.read('style');
if(!read)
[code]....
I have two Javascript functions to set and retrieve a cookie:
function setCookie(name,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
} else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}
function getCookie(name) {
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
}
return null;
}
I can set and retrieve the cookie in Internet Explorer 9. The problem is that with Chrome, I don't know if it is not setting the cookie or not retrieving it right but I always get a NULL instead of the cookie value.
So, this is my last problem. If I can nail this, then the website will be completely AJAX driven, and will be spectacular.
Now it is really simple.
1) When I hit the button, in the simplified example below, the website sends a code to the server.
2) The server then re-writes the "xyz.js" JavaScript file with a new array of values.
Is there any way to re-retrieve that JavaScript file, from the server to make it the current "xyz.js" rather than the old one that loaded on the client originally.
I can get a new XML data file and re-submit that to the website, but how do I re-retrieve the new JavaScript code?[code]...
How can I get a server value into client event?
Or is there another way around my problem?
I have a ASP page that need to get the server IP
(Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR")) to open a new asp page
this is some of my HTML that I want to work. Code:
I need to have this setup as a client side cookie (javascript disabled - no problem).
I need to store in the cookie page name, first name and last name (and there are about 4 more items). Should i save a different cookie for each item here (all javascript examples show this) or can i do some thing like this?
What is the best way to get the client time to the server? Would I user http headers? (I dont know how to do that) or is ajax the best method? I could use ajax to send the unix timestamp to the server everytime a page loads and save the difference between it and the server timestamp as a session variable. sounds sensible?
I dont want to work with timezones but I do want to get the actual time set on the client's computer.
I understand that JavaScript resides on a server and is served to the client via the web server & the web browser.Is it possible to run JavaScript programs locally without the web server piece?

<form action="https://checkout.google.com/api/checkout/v2/checkoutForm/Merchant/XXXXXXXXXXXX" id="BB_BuyButtonForm" method="post" name="BB_BuyButtonForm" target="_top" >
<input name="item_name_1" type="hidden" value="Test Product"/>
<input name="item_description_1" type="hidden" value="Test Product of my cart"/>
[Code].....
On hitting the button one new window is getting opened with response URL from 3rd party(in this case Google Checkout). But for me i need to open this in a inline-popup (lightBox, ColorBox etc...) rather than new window. In the form definition, i have replaced mymerchant_idwith 'XXXXXXXXXX' for privacy purpose
From WebForm1.aspx, I have successfully retrieved a string that is dynamically generated in WebForm2.aspx and spit out to a Literal control in a div. This is what I did.
//In WebForm1.aspx, I have:
$.post("WebForm2.aspx", { para1: "value1", para2: "value2" },
function(data) { $("#mydiv").html($("div#div1", data).html()) });
That's pretty simple and easy to understand for you jQuery gurus out there.
Now, I am trying to do the same thing within the single web form. That is, in WebForm1.aspx, I have this jQuery script to post to the same web form (i.e., WebForm1.aspx), but it is not working. Postback works OK, but I am not able to retrieve the dynamically generated string and spit it out to mydiv.
What's the jQuery way to do this? Any example? I searched, but I've only found examples which try to get static string values, which I know how to do.
The only way i can think of doing such a thing is having an active
server page that returns an image, that is generated on the fly. As
long as there is no caching on the client this in theory will allow
the client to perform an action on the server and display an image
generated on the fly as a result of this action without actually
reloading the page, simply by requesting an image.
what is the difference between client side JavaScript and server side JavaScript? Client side JavaScript is directly embedded in the HTML code...what about serve side scripting?

Create a temporary copy of edited file and create a unique temporary link to it.
I don't know what to start from.... For now I know how to make XHR, but what to do with other extensions?
Have no idea how to save the NEW file (a copy of original file) on server , and create a UNIQUE link ,and delete the file right after it was downloaded.

I have a few values and variables that I want to post to a server

I am developing an ASP.NET (C#) application and need some help. I wish
to call a server-side function (in the code-behind "file.aspx.cs") upon
a user clicking on the "X" to close the browser window. Is there a way
to postback and call a server-side function when this happens? I am
aware of the browser's native "onunload" event, but am not certain that
what I'm looking for is actually possible.
I'm new to JavaScript. I have relatively large amounts of text (~200 kB) that I need to transfer to my web application every now and then. Using RAR, I get a 5:1 compression ratio on these files, for example one of 180 kB is compressed to 34kB.
Is there some standard way to decompress files in JavaScript?
I'm trying to implement a simple chatting website. For now what the code does is checking every 10 seconds if there are new posts stored in the database (newer than the last check, 10 seconds ago). Is there a more efficient way than doing this with a timer??? for example, is there some kind of event listener attached to the server that would notify the client whenever the db is updated?

I have this JS function:

What I'm wondering is there ways to return values from DeleteListing on the server to the success function?
Is it somehow possible to setup a backend server to send a message to a client? Or it is a client always have to establish a connection? What I'm trying to code is a simple chat script that sends a message to the client once a member of the chatroom has logged out. The only way that I can make this work is if the client either sends a message (which is a POST call) or when a time delay occurs (I've set a timer to run every 30s after the last GET or POST call). But both of these are basically CLIENT -> SERVER calls. I don't assume that the other way (SERVER -> CLIENT) is possible? no?

View 17 Replies View RelatedMy login to the site is being processed using ajax, which does a redirect to the members page upon succesfull loggin in.The login feature however can in fact take a while because we need to initialise quite some data when a user logs in (his details, but also his privileges are loaded, his personal menu based on these privileges are being loaded, we are loading shopping cart info, we are initialising personalisation settings, and a whole lot more.It sounds like a big thing, but it isn't, and once logged in, the application is going great. the only thing is that the login proceure can take 3 - 4 seconds, and I would like to be able to show the client the progress of the serverside script:
"Searching your account..."
"Validating your privileges"
"Initialising your personal menu"
blablabla...
To do this, I might just call an ajax call that starts the login procedure, and then issue another ajax call every 1 second or so to update the status based on some session variables I set in the login procedure and that I can serve to the client when th next ajax calls come in, but I would love for this to work a little nicer as in just needing to initialise ONE ajax call which can send back statusupdates from the server...
I know that Javascript is client side, but I'd like to know the best way to populate HTML drop downs in real time based on information typed in the other HTML form fields with information found on the server as opposed to the client.For instance if a user wants to select certain files located in a directory on the server, as they type in the pathname supposedly containing the files the drop downs continually refresh themselves with the server files listed in that directory (if it exists, and apache has permissions to see what's inside) as if it was showing client files instead.
What would be nice is if my browser could continually query the server for some of its private information and not have to refresh itself to obtain it, whether that means the server-side would have to continually refresh itself makes no difference to me as long as the client-side doesn't have to. But I guess this is not possible because no matter what you would have to at least refresh the client-side page once?Submitting the form to a CGI or PHP script would not work because I need this functionality to help populate the form BEFORE I send it.I would like to not have to press a button to update the form every time I change the pathname and need to update the drop downs since this would be annoying.
I have a problem with writing cookie from Jacascript. My problem is that I have two server, one is A, and the other is B.
(1) I call a aaa.html from A.
In aaa.html :
...
<iframe id="frame1" src='http://B/bbb.html'></iframe>
...
(2) In bbb.html :
document.cookie="key=123";
alert(document.cookie);
I fail to write key=123 to cookie.
Is this because of different ip?
Is there any other way to write cookie?
