I'm creating a simple TCP/IP app that will assist in data storage with my JavaScript. The two main purposes of the app is to create local storage and make network connects.Anyone know how to get JavaScript to talk locally with the socket app? I know that XMLHTTPRequest is said to talk to TCP/IP. Is there anyway to make JavaScript point locally rather than toward the web?
View 14 RepliesI am making a very simple application for my own personal use on my
Windows XP box. I want one that looks and feels like a web app. I don't
have too many languages to choose from on my home computer, and I don't
feel like installing a web server, and it already has Access on it, so I
was thinking HTA with JScript and Access. I see a way for JScript to
talk to Access is with ADO. Is this the best way, or is that the "old
way"?
Is it possible to handle socket connections with javascript?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to implement a server socket in java: something linke the following example.
The problem is that the HTML has not the permission to execute instruction
serverSocket = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/server-socket;1"].
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIServerSock et);
Question:
1 - how do I give it this permisison?
2 - one solution I thought was to put the javascript code in a firefox
extension, to load, so it should have all needed permisison, but,
How can I call a java script function define in an extension
from an html page? - there's some particular syntax? ....
Does anyone knows if it's possible to open a client socket with javascript ? I want to update information on a page without reloading it. And no, I don't want to you Java
View 14 Replies View RelatedSay I have script that looks a bit like this:
Array.prototype.getValue = function(ind, dir) {
if (dir !=0) ind[ind.length-1] += dir;
// more script
}
screens = [...// a big array
fnd = [1,2,3];
// 1.
a = findStart(fnd);
// 2.
b = findEnd(fnd);
findStart = function(cs) {
return screens.getValue(cs, 1);
}
findEnd = function(cs) {
return screens.getValue(cs, -1)
}
As I go from 1. to 2. the value of fnd changes. I don't understand how a
locally scoped variable might be affecting a global one.
I'm writing an HTML page that will show a text box to allow me to enter UNIX shell commands and I want to be able to click "submit" and have it call a python script to execute the command and also update the page, but without using any HTTP calls.
The reason for this is I'm trying to develop a plugin for gtk-desktop-info which is a python program that displays HTML as your desktop background. Normally, to update information we just pass an interval parameter and the page is updated every x seconds. I'm trying to see if it's possible to just use javascript to call a python script when a button is clicked. I'm not well-versed on javascript so I don't know if it'd be possible.
I must make clear that I am not a javascript programmer; I am simply trying to get this script to work on my website. It functions perfectly locally (with all browsers), but after uploading to my website, it shows the controls at the top, but not the content.
Below is the code for the FreeMind Flash Browser which can be found here: [URL]
It requires 2 additional files, flashobject.js and visorFreemind.swf plus the FreeMind file (*.mm) that stores the content. The FreeMind file that has the content displays perfectly on localhost, but not on the website. I have all of these files in the same directory and have double checked everything, but it still doesn't function on my website. I have other flash files and scripts on the same website in other pages that function perfectly.

Is it possible to detect if a folder exists locally in Javascript ?
(on the client computer connecting to server).
And better yet - is it possible with JavaScript to detect specialfolders
such as the STARTUP folder ?
I'm writing a plugin for an application which has an undocumented API. I'm having to reverse engineer it a bit, but I've run into a part where I need to use javascript (I think).
Basically, the application provides the URL of a file that's being served locally (i.e. http://localhost:80/files/file.pdf).
I need to upload the file. I was initially going to do this in PHP, but then realised there might be an issue with firewalls.
I'm wondering if it's possible to upload the file somewhere in javascript? Or would need to use something like Flex?
First off, The application in question can be found at:[URL]... It uses pixastic, then the "convert to png" button converts the canvas to a saveable image. The application is going to produce a slideshow using the edited images. I obviously have the option of allowing my users to save the edited images locally, and then reload them to create the slideshow.
Ideally though, I would like this image loading process to be done from within the browser though.
Totally new to this and doing my best to figure it out as I go along, hitting wall after wall. The lightbox on my site runs correctly when viewed locally, but pops up and displays nothing but the waiting gif when I try and view it remotely. Tried fixing my permissions, but to no avail.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a site with menu, it is working fine locally but when i
upload it on the server it dosen't work. When I click on submenu under
"Company" or "Products",It will show the actual url in the address bar
but it gives a error "405 - resource not allowed". Kindly check and
let me know the solution for this. If you know any other simple script
similar to this let me know.
I've noticed very strange .load behavior. So - I have simple index page like this:
U can check it here: [url]
I was looking at the docs and saw this one here: [url]
So I was trying to run the code posted on this doc locally which would be:
And it runs fine, but, my problem is if I save the these files locally:
It wont run anymore.
The modified code looks like this:
For the life of me, I can't figure this one out. I've never had such an issue in the past and cannot find anything through a google search - and that's very rare for me.
So here's the technical nitty-gritty details:
I'm using jQuery hosted on [url]
I'm using the superfish drop-down menu and (at the moment) the default CSS, even if it doesn't integrate at all with my design
I'm also using "supersubs" to make the menu items larger
I'm building the menu through jquery by reading an XML through ajax. So I know jQuery works.
Everything is a-ok on 2 computers when viewed through either Firefox, IE or Chrome (even though it looks ugly in IE - didn't tweak it yet)
But, when I send the files through FTP to my host, it simply does not work. Neither my menu built through jQuery nor superfish or supersubs works. I don't get any sort of errors (normally, IE is helpful in pointing out javascript errors, but there's nothing this time).
The searches I did *had* results, but they were either about doing cross-domain ajax (which I'm not) or about javascript files not being served properly on the webserver. Knowing this server, that's most likely not an issue. I'mtransferringfiles using FileZilla, which also (I think) rules out transfer issues.
The URL: [url]
anyone know of a good method or run JavaScript programs locally without the web server piece? For example. I use jQuery, and develop in FF initially. Sometimes I will get a JS in error, something like Invalid Argument line 12 in jQueryThat tells me nothing. Which script is causing the error? Who knows. It's a pain as I'm sure many are aware. Aside from removing one script at a time, and clearing your cache all the time, is there a better method to pinpoint errors?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis one has plagued me for some time now. I am parsing an XML file for a search feature. On my local machine, the code below works fine in FF, but when I upload it, I get an error stating y[0] (the root element) is undefined. I think the problem may be with my onload method but I can't be sure.
function importXML()
I just can't figure out why this works locally and not on the server. IE works fine, but then again it uses the activeXObject method so it should function differently.
I am working on the following page: [URL]
There is a news script on the right-handside which rotates news items (a kind of scroller).
Locally this works without any problems, but once I've uploaded it to the hosting server this doesn't work. There is no javascript error sign.
I have double checked with the hosting and they support javascript by default.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI download the jquery library, when i include it as such:
It loads but i always get some sort of error in the functions in the page or something...as if the js is loaded but not correctly or as if it's missing, even though the download itself is correct
If i change the include path to (which is the exact same file i downloaded):
Everything works fine i am thinking maybe it could be something that has to do with encoding maybe? am not sure...any clue? it's only happening with the jquery JS files, the rest are working fine.
This is just a matter of best-practice, but i'm wondering whether it is best to host the jquery.js file locally, or to hotlink directly to the file on [URL]. I personally prefer to host it on my server, but if there are reasons why it's better to link to external file, i'd like to know them.
