JavaScript - Activex Work

Hi

I'm using an ActiveX control in my html page.. Each time i load the page ie pops a message box to allow the activex to run or not . Is there any way to handle that message box using javascript. Or is there any other way to avoid that message box because each time the page loads i have to give yes and then proceed. By default i've to give yes is there any way to handle that using javascript.
help me out please...

I have a program written in Javascript (saved as an HTML file that I run from my desktop by launching it in IE) which works fine on my system. Running IE 8 in Vista on one system and XP on another.

When I launch the file, I get warning in the information bar: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX cntrols that could access your computer. Click here for optons..."

I actually WANT this warning. When I click through it to accept, the program works fine.

But about half of the people that I share this program with are not getting this warning, and it appears that the javascript never runs. At first I thought it was something in Windows 7, because two of the users were running on that OS, and I've found a number of issues described online about having problems running scripts in IE8/Win7.

But the latest user is also running Vista, like me. His security settings are set to the default, Medium-High. But he's still not getting the script/ActiveX warning in the message bar.


Anyone know how we can enable that warning?


Thanks!

Hi,

Is there any way to use the activeX to execute a local aplication with parameters...

Example:
PHP Code:
<script>
var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.Exec("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
</script> 

Hi Chaps,

I have some Javascript code, that sucessfully exports Project data from an HTML table to an Excel SpreadSheet:
Code:

function ExportToExcel() {		
			var xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
			// Silent-mode:
			xlApp.Visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;
			var xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add();
			xlBook.worksheets("Sheet1").activate;
			var XlSheet = xlBook.activeSheet;
			XlSheet.Name="Project Details";
			
			// Store the sheet header names in an array
			var rows = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("tr");
			var columns = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("th");
			var data = tbldisplay.getElementsByTagName("td");
			
			//run over the dynamic result table and pull out the values and insert into corresponding Excel cells
			var d = 0;
			for (r=4;r<rows.length+3;r++) { // start at row 2 as we've added in headers - so also add in another row!
				for (c=1;c<columns.length+1;c++) {
					XlSheet.cells(r,c).value = data[d].innerText;
					d = d + 1;
				}
			}
			
			//autofit the columns
			XlSheet.columns.autofit;
			
			// Make visible:
			xlApp.visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = true;
			CollectGarbage();
			//xlApp.Quit();
}

As you can see, a new workbook is created and the data is exported to Excel ("Sheet1").
What I want to do is as soon as this export is complete, redirect to a seperate page, where the Jobs (linked to the Project) details are exported to Excel ("Sheet2"), without creating a new workbook.
Is this do-able?

I have an html file I've built with embedded Javascript (using ActiveX) that successfully reads a file on my local hard drive when I run the html file through my web browser (IE) locally. However, when I copy the html page up to a webserver and access it through the internet, it doesn't appear to be reading the local file. I'm assuming this can't be done because of security reasons? Am I correct in that? Is there any way using Javascript/ActiveX that you can get a webpage on the internet to access a file on the visitor's local drive? (other than cookies)

Hi All,

Need some urgent.

We are having a javascript which is throwing the foll error

"Object doesn't support this property or method".

The javascript function being called is using a Scanner API. So this is using some ActiveX.


Below is the code for javascript

<script language="javascript">

// Initialize scanning
function OnLoad()
{
try
{
Scanner.OpenScanner();
// Scanner.ScanPriority = 0; // Set scanner to Foreground Read mode before enable scanning
// Scanner.EnableScanning(1);
document.forms["mobileform"]["rm07m-bwartwe[1]"].value = "101";
}
catch (e)
{
alert(e.message);
}
}

// Clean up
function OnUnload()
{
Scanner.CloseScanner();
// Calling Dispose is necessary for Pocket IE because of a Microsoft issue related to releasing object.
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer")
Scanner.Dispose();
}

// Scan through soft trigger
function Scan()
{
try
{
Scanner.SetSoftTrigger(1);
}
catch (e)
{
alert(e.message);
}
}

//User-defined function to format error codes.
//VBScript has a Hex() function but JScript does not.
function hex(nmb)
{
if (nmb > 0)
return nmb.toString(16);
else
return (nmb + 0x100000000).toString(16);
}

</script>

There is a object tag in html

<object id="Scanner"></object>

The javascript functions are called from body tag.

Can someone please provide some help.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Chaps,

I have a Javascript ActiveX function that exports the contents of an HTML table into MS Excel. The script works fine, however, some of the dates have changed from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. I do not know why this is happening, especially as it's only to a few.
Here is the code:
Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">  
function ExportToExcel() {
	input_box=confirm("Export to Microsoft Excel?");
		if (input_box==true) {
			
			var xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
			// Silent-mode:
			xlApp.Visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;
			var xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add();
			xlBook.worksheets("Sheet1").activate;
			var XlSheet = xlBook.activeSheet;
			XlSheet.Name="Report";
			
			// Store the sheet header names in an array
			var rows = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("tr");
			var columns = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("th");
			var data = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("td");
			
  			// Set Excel Column Headers and formatting from array
			for(i=0;i<columns.length;i++){
				XlSheet.cells(1).value= "Projects - Open";
	   			XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).value= columns[i].innerText; //XlSheetHeader[i];
	   			XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).font.color="6";
	   			XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).font.bold="true";
	   			XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).interior.colorindex="37";
				XlSheet.Range("B1:F1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108;
				XlSheet.Range("H1:H1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108;
				XlSheet.Range("J1:J1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108;
			}
			
			//run over the dynamic result table and pull out the values and insert into corresponding Excel cells
			var d = 0;
			for (r=4;r<rows.length+3;r++) { // start at row 2 as we've added in headers - so also add in another row!
				for (c=1;c<columns.length+1;c++) {
					XlSheet.cells(r,c).value = data[d].innerText;
					d = d + 1;
				}
			}
			
			//autofit the columns
			XlSheet.columns.autofit;
			
			// Make visible:
			xlApp.visible = true;
			xlApp.DisplayAlerts = true;
			CollectGarbage();
			//xlApp.Quit();
		}
}
</script>

Date Columns: F,G,I

If anyone has some ideas on how to correct this, I'd be most grateful!

Hello all, I made a fade script that will fade any element in or out. Works great on all browser I've tested but IE 7. With IE I have only tested this will IE 8 and IE 7. IE 7 the effect doesn't work. No error message or anything. I'm unsure what to do from here. I was hoping I could find some help here.

Code:

function fade(obj, duration, toggle) {
	steps = 1000;
	elem = document.getElementById(obj);
		
	function fadeIn() {
		for(var i = 0; i <= 1; i+=(1/steps)) {
				setTimeout("elem.style.opacity = "+ i +"", i * duration);
				setTimeout("elem.style.filter='alpha(opacity="+ i * 102 +")'", i * duration);
		}
	}
	
	function fadeOut() {
		for(var i = 0; i <= 1; i+=(1/steps)) {
				setTimeout("elem.style.opacity = "+ (1-i) +"", i * duration);
				setTimeout("elem.style.filter='alpha(opacity="+ (1-i) * 102 +")'", i * duration);
		}
	}
	
	/* One for Fade in and anything will be fade out*/
	if(toggle == 1) {
	fadeIn();
	}
	else {
	fadeOut();
	}
	
}

Can somebody give me a bit of help with the below code. The problem is that it works fine for the first pop up box but not for the other(s). I think it has something to do with the script using the getelementbyid. Can anybody help?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var appearance = "notShown"
function show()
{
if (appearance == "notShown")
{
document.getElementById('P1').style.display = "inline";
appearance = "shown";
}
}

function remove()
{
document.getElementById('P1').style.display = "none";
appearance = "notShown"; 
}
</script>


<style type="text/css">
p#P1 { width: 319px; height: 169px; display:none; background-color: grey; position:absolute;z-index:2; }

p#P1 b { padding: 10px; float: left; }

p#P1 span  { width: 300px; float: left; padding: 10px;}

button.close {float:right; margin: 5px; }
</style>


<a href="#" onclick="show()">box 1</a>

<p id="P1"><b>Lorem Ipsum</b><button type="button" class="close" onclick="remove()">X</button>

Hi there! I'm completely new to javascript coding, but have suddenly found myself in need of using it. here's a little background (helps me keep track of where I am in my question).

I've been "playing" with php for quite a while, and I decided I wanted to see how hard it would be to code a fairly simple forum. So far, everything is working out with very little need for bug fixes and some efficiency suggestins from a friend.

I'm currently building the registration page, and wanted to have it compare the password and verification while the form is being filled. I found a code to do it after a few searches, but evidently I am missing something about how it works.

This is the code I found:
Code:

<script type='text/javascript'> 
 function comparePasswords()
  {
   if(document.getElementById('pass1').value != document.getElementById('pass2').value)
    {
     $('passwordShow').innerHTML = 'Passwords do not match';
    }
   else
    {
     $('passwordShow').innerHTML = '';
    }
  }
</script>

This is the full code for the form I am trying to use it in:
Code:

<?php
 echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n function comparePasswords()\n  {\n   if(document.getElementById";
 echo "('pass1').value != document.getElementById('pass2').value)\n    {\n     $('passwordShow').innerHTML";
 echo " = 'Passwords do not match';\n    }\n   else\n    {\n     $('passwordShow').innerHTML = '';\n";
 echo "    }\n  }\n</script> ";

 echo "<form action='index.php?pg=verify' method='post'>";
 echo "<table align='center' style='color: #C0C0C0'>";
 echo "<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type='text' name='user' /></td></tr>";
 echo "<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type='password' name='pass1' /></td></tr>";
 echo "<tr><td>Re-enter Password</td><td><input type='password' name='pass2' onkeyup='comparePasswords();' /></td></tr>";
 echo "<tr><td>Email<br />(used for password recovery)</td><td><input type='text' name='email' /></td></tr>";
 require ('questions.php');
 echo "<input type='hidden' name='source' value='reg' />";
 echo "<br><center><input type='submit'/></form>";
?>

What am I not understanding about this?

I know we've all seen those text fields where when you type in am HTML tag it changes color!
Example:
<div> blah blah blah blah </div>
I know that there is no flash involved, so how does it work?
