JavaScript - Gmail Like Chat Popups

I have a tracking ad at the bottom of my site. (no iframes). how do I know and/or prevent that tracking ad from popping up a popup?

They are not suppose to, but I suspect they do. Is there a way to track this, or perhaps prevent them from popping the popup from within my page?

I have access to various libraries, prototype/jquery etc.. so if there is a func/method in those, I could use too.

I have several 'galleries' for each artist on my website. Clicking on each thumbnail opens a popup window with a larger image and details. It works fine on all the browsers except IE. What do I need to add/subtract/alter so that it works in IE? Tried to find the solution with the other threads, but without success. Here's the website:

I will be eternally thankful for any help!

I'm a complete newbie so please excuse me if this is obvious.

I'd like to have a drop down menu that pops up a small new window with an image. So for, every attempt results in the image appearing in a new tab instead of a small, pop up style window.

Here's my form

<select name="parms">

<option value="AirTemp.jpg">AirTemp</option>
<option value="Humidity.jpg">Humidity</option>
<option value="Windspeed.jpg">Wind Speed</option>

</select>

Many thanks.

hi;

If you use GMAIL you'll understand more about what i say.

What am trying to do but have no clue how is to use an anchor in my javascipt.

eg mysite.com/page.php#page_6

I want to find out using javascript if there is any page_n then what ever the value you of n to be put into a variable.

Google mail does this something like this
mail.google.com/mail/?foo=bar#inbox

Google detects inbox and opens up the inbox folder of my mail.

I hope i was clear

Recap: I would like to get the data after the # and be put in an array!

Thankyou
Paul

I'm trying to setup a mail merge using a gmail docs script from http://www.labnol.org/software/mail-...h-gmail/13289/. So far, it works pretty well, but I want to edit it to include the following:

1) The script should start with "Dear Noah" as opposed to "Dear Noah_Kaplan"

2) I want to add my canned response to the script so that it always appears at the bottom of the e-mail.

3) Lastly, I want the outgoing mail to be saved as individual drafts in my drafts folder in gmail before it's sent out. That way, I can decide if I want to add a sentence or two to personalize each individual email draft.

Thanks in advance for your awesome help.

Best,
Noah

By the way, here's the script I want to edit:

function onOpen() {
var mySheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var menuEntries = [ {name: "Step 1: Import Gmail Contacts", functionName: "importContacts"},
{name: "Step 2: Start Mail Merge", functionName: "sendEmail"},
{name: "Help / About", functionName: "showHelp"}];
mySheet.addMenu("Mail Merge", menuEntries);
}

function importContacts() {
var groupName = Browser.inputBox("Enter the name of your Gmail Contacts group he ");
var mySheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var myContacts = ContactsApp.findContactGroup(groupName).getContacts();
for (i=0; i < myContacts.length; i++) {
var myContact = [[myContacts[i].getFullName(), myContacts[i].getPrimaryEmail(), "Pending"]];
mySheet.getRange(i+2, 1,1,3).setValues(myContact);
}
Browser.msgBox("You have successfully imported " + myContacts.length + " contacts from Gmail. Please proceed to Step 3.");
}

function sendEmail() {

var mySheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var newLine = "<br><br>";

var emailSubject = mySheet.getRange("F2").getValue();
var emailSalutation = mySheet.getRange("F3").getValue();

var emailLine1 = mySheet.getRange("F4").getValue() + newLine;
var emailLine2 = mySheet.getRange("F5").getValue()?
mySheet.getRange("F5").getValue() + newLine : "";
var emailLine3 = mySheet.getRange("F6").getValue()?
mySheet.getRange("F6").getValue() + newLine : "";
var emailLine4 = mySheet.getRange("F7").getValue()?
mySheet.getRange("F7").getValue() + newLine : "";
var emailLine5 = mySheet.getRange("F8").getValue()?
mySheet.getRange("F8").getValue() + newLine : "";

var emailBody = emailLine1 + emailLine2 + emailLine3 + emailLine4 + emailLine5;

var emailSignature = mySheet.getRange("F9").getValue() + newLine;
var emailYourName = mySheet.getRange("F10").getValue();
emailBody = emailBody + emailSignature + emailYourName + "<br>";

var emailReplyTo = mySheet.getRange("F11").getValue();

var myContacts = mySheet.getDataRange();
var myContact = myContacts.getValues();
for (i=1; i < myContact.length; i++) {
var person = myContact[i];
if (person[1] != "" && person[2] != "OK") {
var emailMsg = emailSalutation + " " + person[0] + "," + newLine + emailBody;
var advancedArgs = {htmlBody:emailMsg, name:emailYourName, replyTo:emailReplyTo};
MailApp.sendEmail(person[1], emailSubject, emailMsg , advancedArgs);
mySheet.getRange(i+1,3).setValue("OK");
}
}
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}

function showHelp() {
Browser.msgBox("With Mail Merge, you can send personalized email messages to your Gmail contacts in two easy steps. For help, visit http://labnol.org/?p=13289 or send me a tweet @labnol.");

Hey guys. Didnt know what forum to put this in, but i figured i would put it here.

Basically im making an ajax chat client.

I dont know if anyone here as ever looked at googles chat client code, but if anyone knows how to make one function the same way as it, I would love if you would help me figure it out.

I tried making a chat client, but it ended up being slow, buggy, and you couldnt select text because the innerhtml was refresshing so much.

So how can I make a good chat client like googles?

Thanks!

Hello.

I'm currently playing with some projects, and one of them is creating a simple 2D chat, where users have an avatar, that they can move around and chat with.

I want to do this with PHP and jQuery. Question here is, if I set it to auto-update the chat every 1 second, and get the new values in the database (if user has moved position), will it suck up too much bandwidth if there's 5 - 30 users online at the same time?

I know there's other better ways of creating a 2D chat, but I'm just doing this for practice of my programming skills.

Im not sure what type of script it is, but another site i saw had a webcam chat room that was a swf file. I know that flash, but where can i get a script for a Webcam chat room to set up on my site.

Thanks

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to make a good node.js chat?

I need a chat that a decent VPS server can handle ~100 simultaneous users with and apparently I should be using node.js but have no experience with it.

What should I look at?

Thanks!

I want to make a chat-box so people can log in under a nickname and talk to eachother, anyone have any idea how i can go about doing this?

Hi, I have a problem with max. memory usage,
and I wonder what pingtime in a chat program is for,
I imagine its to refresh to see if person is still there, but not sure,
if anybody can explain.
I have this on all pages where the chat is:
serversession=1&amp;pingtimes=15
I wonder if it makes any difference to change the pingtime,
thanks

So, I need help with a script that swaps out chatango chats and allows you to expand/shrink them. Here's the source:

Code:

<div id="chatWrap">
	<div id="cbox"></div>
	<div id="ccon">
		<button onclick="switchChat();">Switch to <strong id="cnext">Chat Title</strong></button>
		<button id="csize" onclick="resizeChat();">Expand</button>
	</div>
</div><br />
<div id="chatNotice" style="display:none;">Note: When you switch chats, the expand/shrink button stops working until you reload the page. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:get('chatNotice').style.display='none';">[Hide this Notice]</a></div>
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
	var chats = [];
	chats[0] = ['Forums Chat','dh-forums-chat', 1249524788838];
	chats[1] = ['Main Chat', 'dh-chat', 1247103393344];
	var chat = {
		'opt': 'b=60&f=50&l=999999&q=999999&r=100&s=1',
		'ref': 'www.dubhappy.com',
		'cur': 0,
		'delay': 1.5,
		'params': [['wmode','transparent'] , ['allowscriptaccess','always'] , ['allownetworking','internal']]
	}

	var chatState = 0;
	var chatStates = [];
	chatStates[0] = ['Expand', '300px'];
	chatStates[1] = ['Shrink', '500px'];

	var eles=[''];
	function get(id){eles[id]=eles[id]||document.getElementById(id)||false;return eles[id];}
	function cE(e){return document.createElement(e);}
	function cT(s){return document.createTextNode(s);}

	var ie = false;

	function aO(d, t, src, p, id ){
		var o, e, i;
		if (!ie){ o = cE('object');o.data = src; } 		
		else { o = cE('embed'); o.src = src; }
		o.id = id;
		if (!ie){ p.push( ['movie', src] ); }
		if ( typeof(id) === 'String' ){o.id = id;}
		o.type = t;
		for(i = 0; i < p.length; i++){
			e = cE('param');
			e.name = p[i][0];
			e.value = p[i][1];
			o.appendChild(e);
		}
		d.appendChild(o);
	}

	function switchChat(){
		var x = chat.cur;

		get('cbox').innerHTML = '';
		aO( get('cbox'), 'application/x-shockwave-flash', src, chat.params, 'chat' );
		get('ccon').style.display = 'block'; // qfix
		get('cnext').innerHTML = chats[chat.cur][0];

		get('chat').style.height = chatStates[chatState][1];
		get('csize').innerHTML = chatStates[chatState][0];
	}
	
	function resizeChat(){
		if(chatState == 0)
			chatState = 1;
		else
			chatState = 0;
		get('chat').style.height = chatStates[chatState][1];
		get('csize').innerHTML = chatStates[chatState][0];
	}

	function chatInit(){

			switchChat();
		} else {
			var i = cE('img');

			window.clk = setTimeout( function(){switchChat(); get('chatNotice').style.display = '';}, chat.delay * 1000 );
		}
		delete chatInit;
	}
	chatInit();
//]]></script>

There's also some CSS:

Code:

/* Chat Styling */
#chatWrap{ 
   width: 235px; 
   margin: 0 auto;
}
   
#chat{
   height: 300px;
   width: 235px;
}
      
#ccon{display: none;}
      
#ccon a{
   text-decoration: none;
   display: block;
}

This is implemented at http://forums.dubhappy.com/
As you can see by the notice under the chatbox, after swapping out the chats, the expand/shrink button no longer works until you reload the page. Do you know how to fix this? I've spent way too much time trying to figure out why this was happening. Much thanks if you manage to figure out the problem.

Hello,

I am very new to javascript, and I'm having a hard time finding a way to easily add some chat code to our website without manually adding it to every page.

Here's the deal: I need to add this code to every page of our website:
Code:

<div id="cihfi9" style="z-index:100;position:absolute;"></div><div id="schfi9" style="display:inline;float:right;"></div><div id="sdhfi9" style="display:none"></div><script type="text/javascript">var sehfi9=document.createElement("script");sehfi9.type="text/javascript";var sehfi9s=(location.protocol.indexOf("https")==0?"https://secure.providesupport.com/image":"http://image.providesupport.com")+"/js/mrcuser/safe-standard.js?ps_h=hfi9\u0026ps_t="+new Date().getTime();setTimeout("sehfi9.src=sehfi9s;document.getElementById('sdhfi9').appendChild(sehfi9)",1)</script><noscript><div style="display:inline"><a href="http://www.providesupport.com?messenger=mrcuser">Live Support</a></div></noscript>

I would like the chat icon to appear at the top of each page next to our main menu links. Our main menu links are called from one javascript file. I would like to figure out a way to add this code to the javascript file, so I only have to add it once. The javascript file only has one line of code: document.write(all of our main menu links).

Is there a way to add the chat code to the main menu javascript file so that the chat icon will appear on every page, or is this impossible?

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys.

I made a chat client today (my first one and it's pretty sweet so far)

I have a speed problem though

http://xonicgames.com/hudson/chat.php

Once there are ~20+ posts it starts getting slow (at least on my connection)

It does an ajax request every 500 seconds (dont know if that should be slowed down or not)

What can I do to speed it up?

Thanks
