Implement An Auto-content Update System Without Using PHP?
Apr 3, 2009
I am a webmaster trying to implement an auto-content update system without using PHP, which is challenging for me because I use PHP, JAVA, C(and extentions), HTML usually. My current project requires me to not use PHP so I am using javascript and xml.
I have the code written out but I am running into an error with Safari 4.
Here's my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var req;
function loadXMLDoc(url) {
var xmlDoc=null;
This is my first venture in this forum and also my first attempt at some programming for a fair few years and I have run into a problem i cannot for the life of me see the answer to. I am fairly sure I am just missing something stupidly obvious, but like I said its been a few years since I did any programming so I'm a bit behind with my knowledge!
What I am trying to do is using a combination of HTML & Javascript (well actually JQuery), is to automatically update a cell in a table without the user doing anything. The changes to the content are based on changes to a database by other users. I have written the following code which auto updates text in the DIV, the question is how do I ammend this text to automatically switch between pictures?
im trying to add a star rating system to a website. id like to do something elegant graphically instead of just using a drop down... the javascript framework im using is mootools and i found a great rating system here, but have no idea how to adjust it so that it updates the database with the new rating vote from the user and it calculates the new average rating.
the way i have the database set up for this is with the following fields: id (the rating's unique id) listingid (the listing that the rating corresponds to) userid (the user that entered the rating) rating (the rating itself)
i use php to communicate with a mysql database. the file im going to write will check to see if there is already a rating entered in from the logged in user. if there is, it will update it. if not, it will insert it, then it will calculate the average of all votes for that listing (rounded up) and return the new rating to the page and set the stars to reflect that rating... ive tweaked the code a bit to represent a 5 star system instead of a 10 star system and also so it can be used multiple times on a page.
heres what ive been playing with:

I have a js script to unlock a user account on my windows xp system below. Can anybody help me for a js code which can be used to connect to another windows system in the network with a username and password and run this script on that system and ends the session? the script can be placed to that system. I just need a script which logins to that system and run this script on a periodic basis and ends the session after that. The current script "autolock.js", unlocks the user account which has been locked by invalid password tries.
1) read the page for last date (somewhere on the page) that the page was generated.
2) compare with current date
3) if it looks old refresh or re-load.
4) check for history to count the number of re-loads, stop at once.
Maybe the refresh/load will not add to history if the page is the same URL SO: without using cookies - the remote system may not save them - our local library system has the OS instances screwed down to the point of frustration, hence the use of FF portable right now.
But my audience use whatever they use so I want a rouse to work regardless. The last time I checked the library system cache was more than 4 days old for sure. And some surfers have the pages from the local cache by default.
manual refresh usually sorts this and I do have a manual button on my homepage.
For instance, Box A has a blank entry and I enter in 5. Box B I enter in 6 so in Box C it should automatically give me 11 (if the code I put in is to add box A and B). Then in Box D I put in 3 (say to subtract from A and B combined) so then Box C adjusts to give me 8.
Don't worry about the math as that's all taken care of it, I just need to be able to know how to update on the fly like this.
we are developing an web application. In this user has an option to comment or mark a video. After user commented or marked it has to shown automatically on the page with out refreshing the page.
Is there any script or way to view/hide a div or similar tag only if you're on windows/mac/linux? I want a div to show if you're on windows/linux and an other if you're on a mac.
I have a been developing an Online auction website using PHP and Mysql for the last few weeks. I have implemented everything including the 'bidding', 'buy it now' options of the auction etc.
I don't know much about AJAX to be honest, but I think it is the technology I need for this... My requirement is to devise a way of updating (in real-time) the current price of a particular auction product as more and more users bid on the item. Once a user bids on the item, the bid table of the database is updated with the highest bidders price. So once this value changes in the database, would it be possible to update the price on the webpage? Obviously, it is important for this update to be as accurate as possible to maintain the integrity of the auction.
Is there a plugin that will do this? Or does anyone have an idea about how to implement something like this? The idea is for a sign company to have customers customize the text for their signs. They want to allow users to input text and have it update the sign image live with the text and resize it if the text string get's too long.
What i am trying to do is allow a user to get a quote on how much an item would be if they wanted to sell it. all the data is being generated dynamically on the item and passed to this JavaScript correctly. The issue is when a user changes his mind and switches his options a few times the price goes out of wack and some times will actually be more then the original price. For example. If the item was in mint condition it would be 100 dollars. If it is " good condition" then it would loose lets say 20 percent, so it would be worth 80 dollars. Now each item has 3 sections of questions, what is the condition of the item, any "modifiers" like water damage or functional issues, and then third section is if its missing any parts or cables. All of this is being asked on 1 page, and when a user changes any of the options it should update the price on that page with out the user needing to press update. So condition goes, 100%, 70%, 40%, 20%. Modifiers are 50 percent of current price of item, so if it was "perfect (yes I know an item cant be perfect and have water damage but this is just an example) thus being 100 dollars, and has water damage, that would make it now worth 50 dollars, and has functional issues, now worth 25 dollars. If it was missing cables, it would loose lets say 5 dollars so now its worth 20 dollars. Thats an example on how i calculate the value of the items. So once again, the actual amount is being passed correctly to this script, but when you make to many changes its not happy.
I am more of a front end guy with experience in xhtml/css and want to get my hands dirty with some back-end programming (Javascript/jQuery/AJAX/PHP) and was wondering about a specific task involving (mainly) what I would believe is AJAX.
I was wondering if there is a way to have a page with a starting price of $299 (lets say a basic vacuum) then below that are 20 or so customizable add-ons to choose from through simple checkboxes. That (to me) should be easy enough, but I would love to have the grand total at the bottom of the page be updated in real time as the user checks or unchecks certain add-ons (kind like how apple.com does it).
What is a good starting point for this, and would it be possible to send out the order as an email with the total price sent to the business owner.

Ive seen a couple plugins on how to use a 5 star rank system, Most seem prettyunderstandable. However my problem is i want to find a way to sort the ranked content by most votes, But cant seem to find a plugin for that. Anyways, Can you link a 5 star rank system along with a rating plugin that goes along with it.
sample code, whereby if I change a field value in a web form (from a drop-down list for example), the value shown in another field is automatically updated to show the needed value for that selected option?
I am trying to send a javascript request from page_1.html to page_2.html, and have page_2.html rewrite the content on page_1.html,
the code I am using to request page_2.html from page_1.html (so the following code is on page_1.html, just to be clear) , this code works fine on other projects.[code]...
I am current building an information database for the company I work at...basically just a place for employees to get information and answers from. It is all hosted on a local server and I can only use javascript, html, and css. I've got everything made there is just one thing i want to add to it. Basically an "alerts and updates" page that only some people can edit without having to know html so if im not there they can post important updates. No computers have access to the internet so I did try some rich text editors but none of them worked. The layout I'm going for is kind of like this.
Alerts and Updates Click on links to show updates: update 1 * update 2 * update 3 * update 4 Stuff goes in the update [edit button] You click edit it prompts you to login, bring up something to edit the text in that specific update you hit submit and it changes the info that was on there. The update links are linked to a script I wrote that just display the info below so when the page loads you see whats in update 1 then you click update and it changes the content to the next one.
I load my website in iframe I have put Javascript for auto height, but in my iframe expendable / Collapsible bar is there when page load into javascript my bar is Collapsible so it takes auto height correct but when I expand my Collapsible bar my content is overlapping please give me the solution and I don't want scroll bar for iframe when content expand here is my page: [URL].
And here JavaScript which is I am using: <script type="text/javascript"> function doIframe(){ o = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe'); for(i=0;i<o.length;i++){ if (/"autoHeight"/.test(o[i].className)){ setHeight(o[i]); addEvent(o[i],'load', doIframe); } .....
I'm making a wordpress theme that will have a SMF forum incorporated into one of the pages. I've decided to use an iframe that calls in the forum (which is in the same domain), after trying several of the auto height scripts, including ones I used before with success, I got nothing. I'm not sure if it's a wordpress thing, but the scripts I'm so familiar with just don't want to work. Since forums change their height with all the different pages, this is an essential script for me. The only script (a new one) that somewhat works is the following:
Which eventually gets called with: Code: onload='javascript:resizeIframe(this);' inside the iframe tag.
Now, this seemed to work just fine, but now the height of the page gets added the more I browse. If for example I go to a topic with a lot of replies (meaning, a long page height) and I browse back to the index page, that extra height isn't gone. You can see what I mean here: [URL]. I was wondering if there is something that can be done to this script to stop this and properly resize the iframe. The other script I've used was: [URL]. Which worked great as you can see here: [URL].

I'm looking for a good cross-domain iframe resizing script that adjusts its height based on its content. I have access to the html/css for the source of the iframe as well. Is there any out there?
I'm using jCarousel Lite to power a content slider on a site. It has been working great, but I now have the need for a pause button to pause the auto rotation of the slides. I'd like to attach the pause function to an anchor tag. This feature is not built into the plugin currently and my attempts to contact the author have failed.Here is the code on in my html...
