JavaScript - Load From External File

Hi I'm trying to load a part of a page (that has script in it) into another page using jquery. However, though the html loads in correctly, none of the script is working.

I'm using code from http://css-tricks.com/video-screenca...namic-content/
ie. the pages all work without java (static pages) and when java is enabled, instead of going to bio.html you get taken to ..#bio.html.

However if I've got any script I would like to be loaded .. ie. lightbox gallery or even a simple jav split and put back together email address hider.

Any help greatly appreciated. I'm not very clued up about jquery at the moment unfortunately and though I've been trying to read and learn, alot is going over my head..


Not sure how best it is to show you the page as it's not live yet. Maybe if it helps I can upload a zip of the site. It's a simple 6 page musician site.
Though my code is exactly like the css-tricks page, just that I have a lightbox on one page (which loads fine if there's no hash in the address - but when hash is there, it shows thumbnails, and when you click one, it just takes you to the larger .jpg destination page (no lightboxness etc).)

Thanks

Hi guys, I need your help in this...

I try to reuse double combo boz with description in http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...ombotext.shtml...

I need to make it load content from external div instead of text in array as description. This is because there are so many selection and some can refer to the same description. I already changed the description so it can read html tag. But I have no idea how to put div id inside array and load the div content.

Anyone can help me solve this? Really appreciate your help

Hello. My goal is to load the JS for a specific element before displaying that element. I integrated a third part script, and it works well. I set the timer he

The JS is in my heading as <script type="text/javascript" src="countdownpro.js"></script>

About mid-body I have: <span id="countdown1">2010-07-20 00:00:00 GMT+00:00</span> which allows for the setting of a target date to countdown to.

When the page first loads it shows the above long format target time, until the js/meta tags kick in to modify it to just show the actual countdown as 00:00:00.

I have attached countdownpro.js to this post. I tried shifting the function CD_Init() to the top of the script, and also appended it inline with the .html. I tried setting the big external script to "defer", but neither arrangement worked. I also tried placing the src file right at the top.

I appreciate your help.

Hey all,

I'm fairly new to JavaScript. I learned PHP and now I'm creating a user registration and login system for an application I'm making and I decided I wanted to give JS a try.

I'm trying to make a form validation function that will be called when I press the submit button on the form but I want to use an external js file to store all my custom functions.

I have the OnClick event in the button with the call to my function inside of that. But where and how on the page to I reference my external file so that the button can call the function?

Thanks guys!

Hi,

I'm new to JavaScript and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding something that seems relatively simple. When I make changes to CSS in JavaScript using '.style' I'm changing the attribute values of inline CSS. Can I use JavaScript to change the attribute values of rules in an external CSS file? I have no CSS in my html and would like to know if I can grab the values of attributes in an external CSS file using JavaScript.

Thank you.

Hi,

I need some help with a bit of a challenge.

I need to allow users to spesify a file stored on their hard drive, read the file and populate a table and eventually a database.

I can probably upload the file using <input type='file'> but what then? How do I access the file after this, or is there a better way? Using XMLHTTP gives 'access denied.....' I can not use PHP as the site does not support PHP. For those who know the environment - it's a QuickBase application I need to upload to.......

Thanks
Nic

Hi

I'm trying to call a external .js file that contains a function from a webpage, but haven't been able to discover how to reference the function.

First, the function:
Code:

function biggestOfTwo(valueOne, valueTwo)
{
	var big;
	
	if(valueOne > valueTwo)
	{
		big = valueOne;
	}
	else
	{
		big = valueTwo;
	}
	
	return big;
}

... and the xhtml calling it...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
	<title>An XHTML 1.0 Strict standard template</title>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" 
		content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
		
<script src="compare.js" type="text/javascript" />
		
</head>

<body>

<script type = "text/javascript">
	var dataInput1;
	var dataInput2;
	dataInput1 = prompt("Enter the first number to be compared");
	dataInput2 = prompt("Enter the second number to be compared");

	alert("The biggest value is " + biggestOfTwo(dataInput1, dataInput2));
</script>
</body>
</html>

According to the book Beginning JavaScript 4th Edn, this should work - why isn't it?

relatively new coder here definitely new to js and I can't figure out how to get this script linked into an external file every time I try nothing shows up.

Code:

<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
var slideimages=new Array()
var slidelinks=new Array()
function slideshowimages(){
for (i=0;i<slideshowimages.arguments.length;i++){
slideimages[i]=new Image()
slideimages[i].src=slideshowimages.arguments[i]
}
}

function slideshowlinks(){
for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++)
slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i]
}

function gotoshow(){
if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed)
winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])
else
winslide.location=slidelinks[whichlink]
winslide.focus()
}
//-->
</script>

<title></title>
</head>
<body>

<a href="javascript:gotoshow()"><img src="img1.jpg" name="slide" border=0 width=250 height=250></a>
<script>
<!--

//configure the paths of the images, plus corresponding target links
slideshowimages("img1.jpg","img2.jpg","img3.jpg","img4.jpg","img5.jpg")
slideshowlinks("#","#","#","#","#")
//configure the speed of the slideshow, in miliseconds
var slideshowspeed=3000

var whichlink=0
var whichimage=0
function slideit(){
if (!document.images)
return
document.images.slide.src=slideimages[whichimage].src
whichlink=whichimage
if (whichimage<slideimages.length-1)
whichimage++
else
whichimage=0
setTimeout("slideit()",slideshowspeed)
}
slideit()

//-->
</script>

</body>
</html>

obviously get rid of html tags and <script></script> tags save it as file.js and then <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js">
</script>

do i need to break this up into 2 files or something I can't get it to work

Hello everybody,

I am currently working on displaying KML-values of ElementTags within my KML File. I already integrated the KML file as an overlay to my Google Map. But how am I able to parse the GGeoXml-object or how am I able to parse external ("http://www.myexample.org/polygons.kml" instead of just "polygons.kml") XML-files?

At the moment my code for loading the geoxml file looks like this:

Code:

function initialize(kmlFile) {
      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
        map.setUIToDefault();
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(53.763325,-2.579041), 9);
             // ==== Create a KML Overlay ====
      if(!(kmlFile==null)){
          //check if it doesnt start with "http://"
        if(!(kmlFile.startsWith("http://"))){
        kmlFile = "http://" + kmlFile;
        $('kmllink').value = kmlFile;
        }
        var kml = new GGeoXml(kmlFile);
        //add Overlay to the googlemaps window
        map.addOverlay(kml);
        //$('subject').value = "SUBJECT";
        //$('content').value = "CONTENT";
        kml.gotoDefaultViewport(map);
        // Store center and zoom as properties of the object kml
        var centerKML= kml.getDefaultCenter();
        var zoomKML = map.getZoom();
        map.panTo(centerKML);
        map.setZoom(zoomKML);
        }
        
      }
      
}

And for parsing local XML-files this code works already:
Code:

function loadXML()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else // Internet Explorer 5/6
  {
  xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
    xhttp.open("GET","test.kml",false);
    xhttp.send("");
    //xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML;
    xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML;
    var placemark=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Placemark");
    alert(placemark[0].getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
    ajaxLoader("http://www.zki.dlr.de/mod/ext/fireModis/yesterday_en.kml","Placemark");
}

My question: Is there any way to integrate parsing external xml files in any of these two functions?

Best regards,
TsEMaNN

I have this file:

IPToned.js
Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name          IPToned
// @namespace     http://users9.jabry.com/chatleague
// @description   IPTorrents Filter Enhancements
// ==/UserScript==

 
alert("hello world");

I drag and drop it into Firefox (Ubuntu) and it opens it as if it were a txt file. I want it to make the alert so I can get to coding. Any suggestions?

I have an issue with my javascript files loading (i.e. checking the source code of the page after having loaded yields working links to my external files and the JQuery loading for sure after running some test), but calling a function from my javascript file works in no way shape or form. For example, one test I was running was:
From my .js file
Code:

$("p").click( function() { $(this).hide(); } )

This will work on a standalone page when I test it (not loading from external .js file), but not in the page I need to get my scripts running on.

Code:

	
	<!-- Add-in device.js files are placed here -->
	<div id="deviceScript"></div>

What I have been doing is clearing this out when I select a new (add-in) device and append a script tag with its .src file.

I have some vague idea that unhooking an external js file might remove its code from memory. If not is there a way to do so?

Functions in different script files have the same name - for example, I use start() to set up each device. It seems that the latest device start() overwrites the one in memory - but I am not sure if overwrite means delete last one or whether there is some horrendous build up of dross going on.

Any clarification appreciated.

Hello Guys,

I have a question here..

I have a scroller on my pages that basically reads a text file and displays.. The problem that I am having is it doesn't update until I reload the page(even though the .txt file updates about every 3 minutes).. I would like it to update when the file has been changed..

Here is my page.

PHP Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/li-scroller.css"  type="text/css">
<script src="../../js/jquery.li-scroller.1.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
       $(function(){
    $("ul#ticker01").liScroll();
    }); 
</script>

<?php 
 $file = file_get_contents ('playingnow.txt'); 
 
 ?> 
<div class="scrollpos">
    <ul id="ticker01">
    <li><a href="#"><?php Echo $file;?></a></li>
    
    <!-- eccetera -->
    </ul> 

</div>

What can I add to make it go out and reload just the div not the entire page?

Please advise..

I'm trying to execute an php file (which is present on an other host) by javascript. I've got three files for this:

The javascript that calls the main program (launch.htm):
Quote:

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='http://www.mysite.com/reservetest.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
</html>


The main program: (reservetest.js)

Quote:
function goer() {
var url = 'test.php';
var pars="x=4&y=3";
makeHttpRequest(url+"?"+pars, thanks);
}

function thanks(text) {

document.write(text);
//$("divname").innerHTML=text;

}

function $() {
if (arguments.length == 1) return get$(arguments[0]);
var elements = [];
$c(arguments).each(function(el){
elements.push(get$(el));
});
return elements;

function get$(el){
if (typeof el == 'string') el = document.getElementById(el);
return el;
}
};

function makeHttpRequest(url, callback_function, return_xml)
{
var http_request, response, i;

var activex_ids = [
'MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0',
'MSXML2.XMLHTTP',
'Microsoft.XMLHTTP'
];

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari, IE7+...
http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
}
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE6 and older
for (i = 0; i < activex_ids.length; i++) {
try {
http_request = new ActiveXObject(activex_ids[i]);
} catch (e) {}
}
}

if (!http_request) {
alert('Unfortunately your browser doesnt support this feature.');
return false;
}

http_request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (http_request.readyState !== 4) {
// not ready yet
return;
}
if (http_request.status !== 200) {
// ready, but not OK
alert('There was a problem with the request.(Code: ' + http_request.status + ')');
return;
}
if (return_xml) {
response = http_request.responseXML;
} else {
response = http_request.responseText;
}
// invoke the callback
callback_function(response);
};

http_request.open('GET', url, true);
http_request.send(null);
}

goer();

And finally the test file (test.php):

Quote:
<html><body>just a test</body></html>
It works fine when I use all three files on the same host. However when I use launch.htm on an other host (which is the idea behind it) it gives me 'There was a problem with the request (code 0)'. When I change the url variable within reservetest.js to a relative/absolute path it gives me a 'access denied' on http_request.open line.

Main idea is to show the user (who puts the code from launch.htm) on his/her website the contents of my test.php file (which retrieves mysql data). I think it's a security issue with the http_request.open line. Is there a way to work around this? Or am I missing something here? I don't want to use an iframe to retrieve information from my other host.

Hey guys,

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..

Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks Alot,
Ran
