well i'm kind of new to this website and scripting with javascript but i am wondering: in a client side .js file i have some coding which results in a string which is stored in a variable called exportData
now i want that string to be written into a text file on a server but how do i do that? it is not local on the client's pc and i can't find how to do it anywhere..
I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.
The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.
The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?
Javascript Code
window.onload = initAll;
var xhr = false;
function initAll() {
document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
[Code]....
I have an external .js file to my webpaage. Can i change the value of these variables from my htm page, so that they are changed for good.
ie - i know this wont work, but it is an example.
externalFile.js
-------------
var alpha = "This is some text"
frontend.htm
--------------
<form name="changer" method="get" action="externalFile.js">
<input name="alpha" type="text" id="alpha" value="this is some new text that
will completely replace the old text in the file">
</form>

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to load an XML file into a DOM. I can get it done in IE, but in mozilla I am missing something. Here is what my loadXML() function looks like:
function loadXML(){
try {
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify;
hasFile = xmlDoc.load(info.XMLDocument);
if (hasFile){
xmlObj = xmlDoc.documentElement;
allTopics = xmlObj.getElementsByTagName("topic");
}}
catch(e) {
xmlDoc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(document.getElementById('info').innerHTML, 'text/xml');
hasFile = true;
allTopics = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("topic");
if (hasFile){
allTopics = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("topic");
alert(allTopics[0].firstChild.getAttribute("name"));
}}}
Where verify is another function. The try part works for IE, but the catch part doesn't work for Mozilla. I am not finding any information as to really use an XML DOM properly in Mozilla. I'm trying to get allTopics to be a handle on the same thing in both the "try" and the "catch".

I have a problem with writing cookie from Jacascript. My problem is that I have two server, one is A, and the other is B.
(1) I call a aaa.html from A.
In aaa.html :
...
<iframe id="frame1" src='http://B/bbb.html'></iframe>
...
(2) In bbb.html :
document.cookie="key=123";
alert(document.cookie);
I fail to write key=123 to cookie.
Is this because of different ip?
Is there any other way to write cookie?
I am creating an XML document on my page with javascript. My question
is, is it possible to save that xml file on the server (I have write
permissions) only using javascript, ie no server code? This task would
be trivial using server code, but I was wondering if I can do it all
with client code and post backs? Well, any input?
//-----10% Off Coupon-----
if (coupon=="N110"){

form.NAME.value=" Craft Month Promo 10% Off";
location.href=location.href;

}
I want to replace the .10 with an external peice of data, so users can change the amount with having to open the script. Sorta like those early marquees' where the marquee text was inserted from a text file.
Having a little trouble of knowing where to start. I'm trying to take user inputted data options from a popup window form and put it in an existing form behind the current window.

–Read/Write a user-inputted date.–Calculate the difference between today's date and the user-given date.The date is outputted from an HTML form in this format:
dateYear = YYYY
dateMonth = MM
dateDay = DD
How would I go about saving and retrieving this data into a javascript array?
i was searching for that script in this forum, but it seems to be lost or removed?
that script was kinda using activex or vbscript
it writes a .txt or a file to be saved to a location in the hard disk...
(it's not server-side)...can anyone repost that script?
What I want to do is create a HTML form that allows the user to enter data
into about 10 fields, and then based on the entered data, writes out data
strings to a text file. I am attempting to create a form for entering
simple rectangle CAD data via a HTML form, which will be written to a text
file, and then imported into a CAD program.
The form would contain prompt boxes for things like length, width, radius
size, step/repeat, etc. When the user hits the "SUBMIT" button, the data
strings would be written out to the filename the user specified. Below is
an example of data strings to be ouputted. Variables are &L, &W, &R,
&STEPX, &STEPY, &XN, &YN.

I heard there is something called XMLHttpRequest that is compatible to all browsers. What does that actually do? Is there something to do with Javascript?

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>

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'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 got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script

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?
