JQuery :: Can Listeners Work For Html Added Client Side
Sep 15, 2010
I have taken over from a developer who has used javascript to add additional text input boxes to a form so there is no limit to the number of input boxes there can be. I have got a jquery autocomplete function that works fine if the input box is added by the server but the listener doesnt fire when the text box is added client side. As with all things this is part of a much bigger project and I only want to change the smallest possible part (add autocomplete to this text input box) MY QUESTION: is it even possible fo ra jquery listener to fire when the input box has been written client side after the page has loaded? Is there a way to "refresh" a listenerto find the new tag that have been added?
I am creating a HTML page and mailing it to the user(client side). This html page contains a Table and a button. On button click, I would like to create another HTML page based on the detail in the table,dynamically on run time and Open the newly created HTML. I need to use javascript to achieve this functionality. I have no Server-Client Configuration. And I need to run the Javscript only on client side to process the First HTML's table data and Create a new HTML page. The output of the javascript should also be put in a table format in the newly created HTML page.
Here is some background information: The details from one server would be put into this first HTML along with a button. This HTML page is then mailed to Client side. The javascript in the HTML page then processes the Table data of first HTML. This can only be run at Client Side,once the user clicks the button and moreover I dont have Server-Client Configuration. I am creating a report and mailing it, For formatting purposes and for creating hyperlink to mailid's I chose HTML.
I know that Javascript is client side, but I'd like to know the best way to populate HTML drop downs in real time based on information typed in the other HTML form fields with information found on the server as opposed to the client.For instance if a user wants to select certain files located in a directory on the server, as they type in the pathname supposedly containing the files the drop downs continually refresh themselves with the server files listed in that directory (if it exists, and apache has permissions to see what's inside) as if it was showing client files instead.
What would be nice is if my browser could continually query the server for some of its private information and not have to refresh itself to obtain it, whether that means the server-side would have to continually refresh itself makes no difference to me as long as the client-side doesn't have to. But I guess this is not possible because no matter what you would have to at least refresh the client-side page once?Submitting the form to a CGI or PHP script would not work because I need this functionality to help populate the form BEFORE I send it.I would like to not have to press a button to update the form every time I change the pathname and need to update the drop downs since this would be annoying.
I am building a client-side and server-side solution and want to use JSON through Ajax in both directions. I have ASP or JavaScript server-side, though Microsoft's support of server side JavaScript seems nil, so I am reluctantly conceeding to use ASP. I'd appreciate suggestions on available solutions to encode/decode JSON on the server-side (ASP or JavaScript). I don't plan to load jQuery server-side so that rules out plug-ins. I'd also like to know what is the latest client-side encode/decode for JSON. Is it built in jQuery or a plug-in? In both server and client, decoding JSON securely is key, so using eval () to decode is out.
I am totally new to jQuery and no good knowledge on javascript. However, I was assigned a task, to convert a javascript program to jQuery due to compatibility problem on browsers like Chrome and Safari. My program originally use javascript xmlDoc.load('....') to read XML file, and then use document.write statement to write html tables on client side. Something like this (the sample below may got lots of syntax problem as I jut want to show the major part):
Code: document.write('<TABLE >'); var y=x[0].getElementsByTagName('NoOfRows'); for (i=0; i<=noofrows-1 && i<=y.length-1; i++){ document.write(' <TD>'); document.write(z[j].getElementsByTagName('RecordDetails')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; }
Now I changed to use jQuery, I can read the XML file elements. However, when I try to write the table, it failed:
I am developing a web form using python cgi which has two list boxes. On selecting a value from the listbox1, the list box 2 should get auto populated with appropriate values (which are taken from the DB). I have written a javascript function to get the selected value from the list box1. But I am struck with passing the values from the javascript to the python function written in server side in which I have written the DB related stuffs.
I want to invoke a Client side javascript function and pass the value of the ID. How can I accomplish this such when a user clicks "Open" he goes to a new window with the same ID.
I tried this but it does not work: On Server side: sSql = "SELECT DISTINCT " + "'Action' = '<center><a href= 'javascript: NewWindow('+cast(ChangeRequest.ChangeRequest_ID as nvarchar)+ CHAR(34)+)'>Open</a></center>',"
On Client side: function NewWindow(myID) { window.open("ChangeRequest.aspx?ID="+myID,"WindowName","width=500,height=600"); } </script>
I have the following PHP code, which uses server-side validation, which works fine. It the user leaves the text field empty it stores an error in a session array which is outputted on the page where the $_GET['id'] variable came from. I also implemented a snippet of javascript code that just checks to see if the cell is empty and throws up alert box. The problem is that both the javascript code and php error validation are both running when I click submit. The PHP code should be a backup to the javascript code in case the user has javascript turned off. The client-side validation should be the default. Not sure if this change should be made in my PHP Code or Javascript Code.
I have a web form that has a checkbox on it and a textbox associated with it. I want the textbox to be displayed when the checkbox is checked and I want this to happen on the client-side instead of posting back to the server. The checkbox is a server control (asp:checkbox...). I can write some codebehind that will display an alert message upon checking the box that looks something like this...
Page_Load...
Dim s As String Dim scriptString As New System.Text.StringBuilder
chkExpDate.Attributes.Add("onclick", "alertmsg()") scriptString.Append("<script language=JavaScript> function alertmsg() {") scriptString.Append("alert('hi'); }<") scriptstring.Append("/" + "script>" s = scriptstring.ToString()
Page.RegisterStartupScript("startup", s)
End Sub
I used this as a test to make sure the server control was running the script. But, when I change the script to assess the value of the server control checkbox such as checked = true, I get errors and if I just try to display the asp:textbox, it doesn't work either.
I had a import function which allow for user import data from excel file. The number of row was dynamic, mean that user may import hundred or data or may thousand of line.
should i perform client side or server side validate?
the problem i faced was if the import thousand of line, i need display out thousand of text (multiple by 6, cause 1 got 6 fields)
the take a lot of time to loading and cause browser "hang" (response slow)
I have the following client-side Content Management System VBscript which works great, now I'm looking at getting it to work server side so that I can update using online login rather than offline and having to upload files. To be honest, I have no idea where to begin with this,
I have a .js file, we want to make it to load a html file right next to it, both files are on client system. I couldn't find any such examples and some posts talked about JavaScript security issues, I wonder if it is related to what I want.
Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.
note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.
I know this isn't a jQuery question per se, but maybe there is an easier way to do this is jQuery than in javascript?
<script>
I was wondering if there is a better way to accomplish the above? Rather than directly changing the innerHTML of the element is it possible to add a onclick listener (or another javascript listener) to the element in a more direct way without having to go through the html.
I'm adding feature to my site which allows the user to browse there filesystem inside of a div rather than an input file element in html. Is this possible in jQuery or JavaScript or do I need to develop a desktop app which allows filesystem access and connect it to the web app using PHP?
When using client side XSLT transformation, Jquery functions like animate and fadeTo will fail and cause an overflow of errors. In Firefox the error reads "k[l] is undefined". The same happens in Chrome. I could give you an example, but you can simply use your imagination, as this isn't a problem with only a specific case of XSLT transformation. I am using v1.6.2 and consider this to be a serious bug.
My login to the site is being processed using ajax, which does a redirect to the members page upon succesfull loggin in.The login feature however can in fact take a while because we need to initialise quite some data when a user logs in (his details, but also his privileges are loaded, his personal menu based on these privileges are being loaded, we are loading shopping cart info, we are initialising personalisation settings, and a whole lot more.It sounds like a big thing, but it isn't, and once logged in, the application is going great. the only thing is that the login proceure can take 3 - 4 seconds, and I would like to be able to show the client the progress of the serverside script:
"Searching your account..." "Validating your privileges" "Initialising your personal menu" blablabla...
To do this, I might just call an ajax call that starts the login procedure, and then issue another ajax call every 1 second or so to update the status based on some session variables I set in the login procedure and that I can serve to the client when th next ajax calls come in, but I would love for this to work a little nicer as in just needing to initialise ONE ajax call which can send back statusupdates from the server...
In my html page i've to show a grid with some data retrieved from an xml file ... i need to this beacuse i've to use online, on a webserver and offline with all files on a usb key, cd, etc ...
which is the best way to accomplish this?
I suppose a solution it could be via javascript:
-locally open the xml file that contains the data e then render then grid. Now i wornder about the best way to do this ... i've read about xsl transofrmation and so on ... if it's possible i'h to achieve this with a cross-browser solution!
Is it possible to add a js function to a loaded web page on the client side? E.g. IE is viewing google, can I add a javascript function to that instance of IE viewing google? I am trying to hook browser events such as button clicks and get information such as edit field text.
Provided an interface to a search engine in which the onchange event in a select list element generates between 7 and 13 additional elements depending on the option chosen.
Here's what the customer *now* wants to do: Generate between 200 and 350 elements. Furthermore, the logic is going to be more complex.
I would be happy to make that happen, however here's my concern: I'm already doing this from the server side, using CGI. I wonder what is going to happen when we put that degree of "work" on the client browser. I would welcome comments, caveats, or pointers to documentation and discussions on this subject.
I have a table that changes its cell (input text) colors when their contents have changed (actually on keypress) and shows a couple of buttons automatically, UDPATE and CANCEL. This works partially, though detecting enter and escape doesn't seem to work, or parhaps calling the button click events directly doesn't (see below).
In addition to getting the ENTER and ESC keypresses to fire their appropriate button clicks, I need to be able to collect information on which cells have changed, so on the page loading again I can read this information, perhaps from a hidden field, to use to update a database server-side.
<script language=javascript> function GirdTextKeyPress(txtID, btnsContainerlID, btnUpdateID, btnCancelID) { var txt = document.getElementById(txtID); txt.className = 'GridChanged' var bc = document.getElementById(btnsContainerlID); bc.style.display = 'inline'
var btnUpdate = document.getElementById(btnsContainerlID); if (event.keyCode == 13) { event.returnValue=false; event.cancelBubble = true; btnUpdate.click(); }
var btnCancel = document.getElementById(btnCancelID) if (event.keyCode == 61) { event.returnValue=false; event.cancelBubble = true; btnCancel.click(); } } </script>
I have several xml files and a common stylesheet on the server. In my html I have a sidebar of links. For each link I fire an onClick event that triggers an xml load and transform with the output displayed in a small popup. Everything works great for one click. My issue is that in Firefox, each subsequent click concatenates the results to the previous tranformed results. How can i start fresh each time. I've tried resetting all variables involved but the problem won't go away. This works fine in IE by the way. Does anyone have an idea on what the issue could be?
