I'm trying to use a remote file for the purpose of setting the value of a single variable. It contains a single line of code:
var rev_date = "R10-03-07";
In the HTML, it is called like this:
<script language="javascript" src="http://some.domain.com/revdate.js"></script>
There is a function in the head:
function setRevdate() {
document.getElementById("revdate").innerHTML = rev_date;
}
In the Body:
<body onload="setRevdate();">
Then where I want to place the text:
<span id="revdate">--</span>
The problem is that the page loads and the onload event seems to happen before the rev_date string object is created and produces a "rev_date not defined" error. If I hit the browser refresh, however, everything works fine and the text is displayed between the span tags. It continues to work thereafter as long as the browser session is not destroyed.
How can I program this to force the browser to wait for the script to be read in and the variable initiated before calling the function?
When I try to parse xml fixed string following code works fine. When I try to parse the string get from remote server.(bellow code example) It gives me an error unterminated string. I think this error is because of large string. Code:
I have a programing problem that have been around for ages. I have search on google using several expressions and words and after hours of digging i'm still unable to do it.I would like to get a value from a HTML page hosted remotely with an inconstant value. Then define this value and name as a javascript variable and apply or show in my page.P.S. Is there any way to make a domain lookup in javascript? I mean a user enters a domain and the script converts to an ip and shows to the user. If not thanks, probably it can only be done in the server side...
Currently I was able to load remote JSON (php) file using JSONP protocol. However, how to do if my remote file is static? In the doc, it said: you can load JSON data located on another domain if you specify a JSONP callback, which can be done like so: "myurl?callback=?". But since my remote file is a static text file, how can I specify the callback in the output dynamically? In fact, I also wonder if it is possible to control the random callback name by modifying jquery source code...
A newly added, not-quite-wanted function of my job is remotely debugging JavaScript errors on other people's web applications. I have tried finding a JavaScript debugger that would allow me to do that, but other the Microsoft Script Debugger, I couldn't find any other.
Are there such programs? Basically, what I'd like to be able to do is trace commands step by step and view the values of certain variables.
I was unable to figure out how to get Microsoft Script Debugger to work. I read the documentation and executed it, but I keep getting "Syntax error" messages whenever I want to see the value of a variable. Add to that the fact that I am not a developer and I do not know JavaScript (other than to read it, which is enough for me to figure out what the problem is) and you see my problem.
I have read about the option of adding message boxes all over the place, but this would not work out for me either, since I would need to make changes to this code on the web server, where I don't have access, and it would be a lot more tedious.
For those skeptical as to why I still expect to be able to debug problems:
The problems are caused in most cases by the proxy we add on their web servers, and they are due to values being changed on the fly. I only need to find out where the code breaks and read the values of the variables, which gives me the solution ("do not change this variable").
I'd like to learn how data is passed form one file to another and then displaying at when an error occurs. I have this php script that checks if an domain really exist
I'd like to save a single page automatically. The page uses javascript, and therefore I can't seem to use links, elinks, lynx, w3m or curl (I've tried them with spidermonkey but it keeps telling me to enable javascript) to do so properly, it always saves everything except the javascript rendered output.
So I think the only what to do it would be in a web browser. So, say for intstance, I want to save the the main page, google dot com and have it automatically save to my C:google.htm. How would I do that? Is this possible?
I am developing extension which should upload currently displayed html as a file to a remote web server, unfortunatelly so far i haven't suceeded. I think this should be done through XMLHttpRequest(), but neither I know how to upload files through XMLHttpRequest nor how to convert string to file.
The HTML form that uploads a file:
But as I said i need my plugin to do it automatically and file must be made from html code.
I want to populate my client's webpage (Remote Server) automatically through my Server and Database by having him just paste a javascript on his webpage.
I have read up about Microsoft Remote Scripting but the documentation states the following : "The server which you make remote scripting calls must be the same server from which you requested the client page containing the requests."
In my case , the client and server pages are on two seperate servers which means that I cannot use MS Remote Scripting.Is there an alternate approach in any scripting language ???
Any suggestions, tutorials , websites , code snippets will be appreciated while i continue to research on this...
I'm not sure what this is called, I think it's remote script execution, but I could be wrong, so bear with me.
I have a call that I make for an adserver:
<script src="http://www...."></script>
That populates the page at that point with some text. When it works, it works great, the text comes back, and everything is good. However, when the remote server does not return right away, or maybe the connection is down, my page hangs on it.
So my question is, is there a way to structure the call on my end so that my page continues loading even if this call doesn't return?
How can Iload and parse a json file saved in our remote serverfrom my local machine? I can load and parse the copy I saved in my local machine, but I can notwork with the remote copy. The following is the code I tested:
Ok, so I've built a member search using ajax to change the results each time a filter is changed. It works great, except one minor issue that I'm struggling with...I just can't specify dynamically in the parent file that linkclass$id opens linkclasscontent$id as I don't know of any way to pass that $id variable back over to the parent.
I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1 word2 word3 word4 word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
I start outside of the external JS file by: reviews.init(); reviews.initialiseContent('comment'); This loads my data and loads + sets the comment tab as default. My problem is that in the external JS file (shown below) the loadTabs variable will not allow me to pass it a variable: contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; Whenever I pass a variable here it errors, am I setting this up correctly, should I be using prototype for my this. variables? Interested to hear back on if this structure of code is the right way to go about this and also how I can pass a variable in this way :)

Im writing client-side javascript and I want to do a server side include. There are many server files but only one will be included. These files contain peoples names and phone numbers. This info is packaged as a line of javascript but I can change that packaging if necessary.
The file name to include is being passed as a url parameter: [url]
I know how to parse the url string and stuff the ID number into a javascript variable.
I set <ICODE> foo = "/people/12345.html" </ICODE> and tried <ICODE><!--#include virtual="${foo}" --> </ICODE> but this did not work.
Is there a way to do this with javascript given that the name of the file I wish to include is contained in a variable? If not, what is the usual way of getting the data in the server file into my client-side javascript?
I got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script src="..." type="text/javascript" /tag from the <headpart to the <bodysection of a HTML file.
Is not possibile to include Javascript code via <script src="..." type="text/javascript" /from the <bodysection, instead from the <headone? If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be? If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file inside the <bodypart of a HTML file, for example, using Javascript to some particular native functions?
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
For changing my content I have the following script:
$(document).ready(function(){ var $active = 'welcome'; $('div#con'+$active).show(); function hideall($execpt){
[Code].....
When I click an item in the menulist the current div silde up and the div corresponting to the menu will slide down.
The page that is active at that moment is stored in the variable $active.
Now I've installed jeditable for changing the content dynamicly on my website.The problem now is I want to send the current page with the data of my jeditable, so I added $active to the ajax data send by the jeditable.js. Now when executing this script firebug returns the following error:
'$active' is not defined.
How can I get the variable $active working in the jeditable.js ?
I also tried to send $active togheter with the settings.
How would this be written on .js file. I need to create a variable named dateString which is equal to the following text string: weekday, month, day, year.where weekday is the name of the weekday, month is the name of the month, day is the day of the month, and year is the four-digit year value. (HINT: Use the wdayName array using thisWDay variable as the index value to display the weekday name, the monthName array along with the thisMonth variable to display the month value, and the this Year variable to display the year value.)
The user needs to upload files, but the number of files they need to upload is variable.
I've got something like this:
function another_file() { document.getElementById('files').innerHTML += '<input type="file" class="fileinput" name="pictures[]" />' } But everytime I click on the link that calls that function, it erases the previous input's state. I'm after something like GMail's attachments interface.
I have a text file, the contents of which I would like to use as the value of a variable in Javascript. is this possible? how about importing it as the value of a (invisible) text box and acquiring it this way?
