Say I wrote an ajax script to send out HTTP requests via ajax. Any
cookies that I have associated with that site will be sent along with
this HTTP request. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I
tried the following to no avail:
http.setRequestHeader('Cookie','');
I'd like to make an HTTP request using JavaScript but not with the XMLHttpRequest object. I'm attempting to make this request to a different domain to get information and the security of modern browsers won't allow this with the XMLHttpRequest object.
Is there another way to do this in JavaScript? Oh and I'm not taking advantage of the asynchronous nature that object either, so that's not a criteria for a potential solution.
Can I do the following without my program crashing? [code]...
I have created an application that does something similar to the code I just posted. However, my program crashes intermittently. Sometimes it will crash after calling jQuery.get() a few times (with several http requests still pending). Other times it will get through all of them just fine.
I want to know if Ajax can handle that many asynchronous requests without crashing? Can someone look at this to see if there is something I am missing?
I need to send 15 requests to my server and get results, these results are queries to other sites. I then update my page with the results. I need to know if I am taking the correct approach, as things are working a bit slow, and i.e., seems the be as slow as a snail.
Here is my function for the first request
Code:
function one(){
var xmlHttpa=null;
try{
xmlHttpa=new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e){
try {
xmlHttpa=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e){
try {
xmlHttpa=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
return false;
}}}
xmlHttpa.onreadystatechange=function(){
if(xmlHttpa.readyState==4){
document.getElementById('resulta').innerHTML = xmlHttpa.responseText;
var el = document.getElementById('showMessagea');
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
applystyle();
}}
xmlHttpa.open("GET","one.php",true);
xmlHttpa.send(null);
}
I then call this function and others from my page, one(); two(); etc. Am I correct in my approach?
I have a site which displays a selection of advert listings. We log the number of clicks each advert receives via ajax requests.The listings link to both internal pages on our site and external pages, hence the ajax - we cannot log the'clicks' by logging the requests on the destination pages as these are not all on our site for us to log. Also, I don't want to potentially get false positives e.g.from bookmarked pages - hence I am logging the actual clicks, not the requests on the destination.
All is OK in most browsers, but there is a problem with Safari (I am running Safari 4.0 on Windows XP running in Virtualbox OSE) but only where the destination is to open in the same window/tab (some listings go to a new window, some don't). I am logging clicks via an ajax request in the onclick event, which is working fine when the listing is to open in a new window, but it appears that when a new window is not to be opened, the ajax never gets sent.A have constructed the following minimal test case:
index.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" [code].....
Note the line commented '****' in index.html which cancels the action of the link. When this is not commented out, the ajax request is sent correctly. Without it (the desired situation) the ajax request never gets sent. Its as if Safari saves up the ajax requests to do later, but never sends them as the new page cancels all such 'saved up' actions.I am using the Safari web developer tools, but I have also checked this test case by checking the Apache logs. Note that as a test case I don't pretend that it will work in IE, but it should work in standards compliant browsers and has been tested on Firefox 3.6.6 and Opera 10.6. The Apache logs show that logger.txt is being requested, unless it is already in the browser cache.Possible workarounds I've considered, but would prefer to avoid:
On the site in question the only such links that currently open in the same window are internal, so I do have the option of logging safari clicks by logging these requests as opposed to clicks and checking the http referer on the server side. As this is not a very flexible solution as it relies on these specific circumstances, also relies on all other links successfully making a new window, and furthermore relying on http referer could result in false negatives I'd rather find a solution within the javascript.I haven't checked whether an asynchonous request would work, but I don't wish to do this anyway just in case there is ever a server problem that prevents the response coming back (note that for these purposes the response is actually superfluous - we are sending the server a message but don't need anything back). I also want to avoid the delay in sending the user to the destination - there is no point having to wait for a response we don't need.Lastly, and my prefered workaround unless I can find anything better, is to make Safari (only) open all links in a new window anyway.
I am doing xmlhttp ajax stuff. I am using a script called "SEXYALERTBOX". I am using it to allow the user to input a password. The textbox is called BoxPromptInput. I do not think its inside a <form> tag.
Here is the code:
function askForPass() {
Sexy.prompt('Please type the password in order to see the pictures/videos','' ,{ onComplete:
function(returnvalue) {
if(returnvalue) {
var xmlhttp = false;
var pageResponse = null;
try{xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
catch (error){try {xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");} catch (error) {xmlhttp = false;}} .....
Any way to pass the value since I am sure the request.form would not work in this case since its not in a form.
I'm doing some data processing and I need to pull data out of html snippets. Works fine, but when I load in the html it's wanting to make a bunch of secondary http request for resource files, images, css, etc. which slowes the process down. My loads go from 40b to 350b. is there a way to prevent the browser, or jquery or javascript, or whatever is forcing the load of these assets to just knock it off?
View 1 Replies View Relatedthis may be more of an "html" issue, but I'll wing it.
i've got a multi-language site, where the home-page of each language group
features a link to a popup window that offers background info on site
management. the popup is fired by a javascript function, when they click
the site management link. there's also a "window close" function button so
they can nuke it as they please.
now, oddly, people who search for my site in the chinese language on google,
are sent directly to the site management popup window, which of course,
opens in their "full" browser window, and which also has no links back to
the main site, because it's meant to open only as an "accessory" to the main
site.
my question is this: is there any way, with Javascript, that I could
determine if they arrived at this window from "off-site" (ie, a google
search), and therefore offer such "off-site" visitors a link back to the
principal site, a link that would be hidden for visitors who clicked the
popup window from my own site?
how do I know when the browser is making a request to the server? I am
not having an onclick event for EVERY hyperlink, submit, etc. There
must be some javascript function that I can overwrite that will allow
me to do something when the browser requests something from the server.
My plan is whenever a browser is about to request something from the
server to create a time stamp and then compare this time to the time
when the page returns from the server. This will allow me to measure
performance.
I've noticed that IE have different security approach when loading a
page from an inner intranet or when loading a page from the web.
Is there a way in Javascript to know when your page is running by an
outsider and when by an insider? How the browser knows?
I found a bug in IE6, though it is known already. If I have a CSS
background property set to some image, such as
background:url(myimg.gif);, and I apply this property to some html
element, say DIV, and refresh DIV every 10 seconds, background image
is reguested every 10 seconds for IE6, too.
The fix which I found did not fix the problem:
try {
document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
} catch(err) {}
Code:
I can't see the requests of the forms by firebug to debug. Does anyone know if have any option or any way to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt looks like IE is caching the response for some AJAX requests here. The app I'm working on is a catalog of sorts. Clicking the link for a category loads a set of "items". Those, in turn, may be deleted from the admin view. The delete works fine (I checked the DB) but, when loading the same set of category items, I'm seeing the list unchanged. That is, the thing that was deleted is still there. Sorry for the crap explanation but I'm not really sure of a better way of putting it. Bottom line is, has anyone seen this sort of behavior with IE before? Can it cache the result of an AJAX request like that? And, if so, how can I guard against that? Can I set cache-control headers for an AJAX request?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this function among many that houses forms.

This might seem like a silly question..First issue. If i have a response and i'd like to update both text div and a status div how would i go about doing this. I've seen that jQuery has a few options such as OnSuccess etc?
Say that i post a comment and obviously you'd want to update some kinda statusbar on your website with the info that the message was posted successfully with ajax. (otherwise it might slip by the user unnoticed since ajax is kinda discrete)
Would it be a good way to for instance check the responseText if it contains anything and if it does you simply write a successmessage by grabbing a div from JS and if the responseText contains a custom error code lets say 1 you'll update the statusbar with a deny message?
Second thing. I've currently created an Ajax search on my site which activates whenever the user press or unleash the button. The issue is that if the user types fast enough it comes stuck showing the Loading.gif constantly. Could this be due so many requests opening and that i have a sleep on the server-side and if so how would you do it instead? I am using a serversleep of 1 second to have the Ajax pic appear consistently.

In my current project, I am using SJAX (i.e. synchronous AJAX) requests instead of pure AJAX requests in several places for better usability. One place is on the "unload" event, where the XMLHttpRequest must be synchronous in order for the program to work.
Anyway, when there is latency on the server, especially in peak traffic hours, it can be confusing to the user to see a frozen page for a couple of seconds while the SJAX request loads. As such, it would be beneficial to have a "loading" div reveal itself while the loading is taking place.
Here is the concept I currently have in place:
Code JavaScript:
document.getElementById("sjaxsubmitting").style.display = "block";
// Start Request
reqobj.open("POST", "myfile.php", false);
[Code]....
This works as expected in Firefox and Opera, although Opera is a little sluggish at first. However, Safari and Chrome continue to show the frozen screen without displaying the loading div, despite this code. I have not yet tested IE. Oddly enough, when I put a quick alert like "alert('hi there!');" before "Start Request" and after the display activating script, the loading div will appear in WebKit and will remain in sight for the duration of the request.
What could I change to make WebKit display the div in the same way Firefox does?
I have a jsp page using ajax that has a button with an action. The action sends multiple ajax requests. The response from these requests is to be used to update a progress indicator to show the servers current progress. I can see from the debug that I am getting the 1st response. I think it is the way how I have implemented the further requests. I think this is down to my javascript knowledge, which isnt very much. Also I assume using multiple requests in this way is the correct thing to do? I have spent ages trawling the internet trying to get a solution.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to launch two ajax requests at same time. I'm expecting result from the first later than the second. The problem is, it won't return me any result from the second request untill first one is returned.

I'm getting response from the $.getJSON function only when the $.post is over. Is this a bug or a mistake from me ? My aim is to launch a long request and fire multiple other requests to check how is doing the first one.
I'm encountering an AJAX problem when I try to execute multiple AJAX requests at the same time. What I want to do is delete a message and display the status (succes or failure) of that in div1, and refresh the messages on the page in div2. This needs (for as far as my knowledge reaches) two AJAX actions from which I both need the responseText.
The problem:
What happens when I execute my script is that the second action (refresh a part of the page) happens before the deletion is executed. The result of this is that when the deletion has been executed, the page is already updated, and the deleted message is still there.
The script
What I now have is:
function doAjax(url, element_id, img_url){
var ajaxObject = createAjaxObject();
ajaxObject.open('GET', url, true);
ajaxObject.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(ajaxObject.readyState==4 && ajaxObject.status==200){
document.getElementById(element_id).innerHTML = ajaxObject.responseText;
delete ajaxObject; .....
I'm using AIR to write an application that is mostly javascript (I am using jquery for quite a lot of it). The program has to be able to download multiple HTML pages (like a RSS feed reader might) and take a specific action when the download is complete, depending on which page has just downloaded. I'm using air.URLLoader with an eventlistener to notify when the page download is complete. The problem I have is that I want to run through a database table of around 20-30 URLs and dynamically create URLLoaders for each.I've spent hours searching Google and looking for ways to overload the event listener, add a property to the URLLoader object etc but all to no avail.
The code above will load whatever pages it is told to, but the problem I have is that it needs to take different actions depending on which page is loading. Each page in the database table has an ID field and I need to somehow identify the ID of the page within the notifyURLComplete function, hence the reason I'd like to pass the page ID into the event listener (apparently not possible) or add an additional property to the URLLoader object.Another possibility was a custom event handler, but I'm not sure how/where this would be done in my code.
I need to encrypt my AJAX requests and responses from the server. As the message format I use simple JSON.Can you advise any libraries about it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems performing a simple load(...) request to bring in HTML content from a partner Oracle system within the same domain. Our portal has a built-in SO connection will handles security for me transparently. However during the process it initiates a 302 temporarily moved response which seems to trip up an AJAX request, but doesn't trip up Firefox when accessed through the address bar. If I use the same URL in an IFRAME it's totally fine.
After tons of googling, searching the forums, and the bug tracker database I cannot find anyone who has experienced this problem. Before I open a bug ticket I'd like community feedback to help me see if I am doing anything wrong.
My AJAX call looks like this in Javascript:
I have a element when click, it will trigger some other elements to be selected. and those elements will trigger elements in next level.
It is a three levels hierarchy so to speak. but each element will send an ajax request when selected. Those requests will become out of control especially when I repeatedly click the root element.
Can I queue those XHR request in a queue and send them one by one? or maybe add a delay before send so that they can collect their information into one batch request and send one request after that.
