JavaScript - Don't Know Name Of Feature Wanted

Hi,

I am trying to write a small web app that is used to do some plots for over-the-time-collected data (children's growth measurements). The current objective is to re-use entered data. As I do not want to store anything on the server (which would lead to all the annoying username-password-stuff), nor in cookies, I would like put measurements into a local file and reload them into the HTML entering form. I know and fully appreciate that javascript is not able to read or write files; it is on the other hand obvious that this can be bypassed if I upload the respective file to the server which returns it in an ajax fashion. My main question is now: Is it possible to do some kind of internal upload, that ends up in a read of a local file? Something like a <form method="post" action="localscriptname" ...> with an <input type="file"...> field?

Another (off-topic) question: My plots are in PDF format. I accidentally appended some data to the PDF file which did not cause any problems for the pdf readers. Can I rely on the fact that any pdf reader will ignore data after the %%EOF mark, but will keep it if a file is downloaded, directly opened by acroread or whatever, and later saved from the reader program? This would allow it to keep the plot and the raw data in one file and might be helpful for the not-so-computer-affine target audience of my program. Greetings!

Hi,

It would be easier to explain this if you play mafia wars (or any game that includes intra-game exchange of gifts/items between members) but the actual scripting doesn't require any knowledge of the game.

Background Information

Mafia Wars is a game on Facebook (and myspace, yahoo etc.) that among other things allows its players to send gifts to each other. Now because different people end up with more things of one type and are short of things of another type, the players have evolved a trading dynamic. Where x number of Item 1 is traded for y number of Item 2. A simple marketplace. And with this territory come scammers. Essentially a player who doesn't go through with his end of the deal. good player sends item to bad player. bad player removes good player from mafia and blocks him for ever contacting him through his facebook profile.

This has given rise to my group, among many others, that lists these scammers (identified with their facebook profile ids) as they are reported every day. Now over time the list has grown and it has become difficult and unrealistic to expect people to know who is on the list and who is not.

The Requirement

A javascript bookmarklet (there are many already servicing different needs of the players) that sits on the browser and tells the user if the person he is about to trade with is a listed scammer or not.

The Breakdown

The user will click the bookmarklet when he is on the facebook profile of the person he is about to trade with. When clicked the script will pull the facebook profile id from the current page, and then scan a text file located on a third-party server and return with a pop-up box message that reports if the id is listed as a scammer or not.

It should be pretty simple to do, except I don't know the first thing about javascript coding. So if there's anyone who can devote a few hours/days to help us out with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I currently have a slideshow working on my client's site, but I can't get lightbox to work properly on it. [bobbivanstudio.com/work.php]

Is there a way to fix the existing slideshow to work with lightbox? Or is there another way of doing this (keeping the same look that is currently in place)?

Thanks in advance!

However everytime i click on submit it shows the comment posted for a second and then the comment dissapears. It does not retain the comment posted. Please help.

Code:

Hi,

I have been developing a show/hide feature on my companies web site for some time. I have so much code as to where I am confused when I need to add another slide function.

I have provided the URL below to the page where the code exists.

http://www.pjm.com/markets-and-opera...assistant.aspx

This is where I get lost with the huge amount of code that I have.

If you take a look under the second slider named "Electricity Markets" there is another slider underneath named "Energy Market". I need to add three more sliders right underneath in the same format under "Energy Market"

If anyone can assists with this that would be great. I should have organized the code a lot better, so now I get lost within the code now.

BTW, the show/hide feature really does not display well in Firefox, please try in IE.

Thanks!

Several of the iPhone features can be duplicated with Javascript. One such feature I'd like to see is the Bookmark feature. You click on the Bookmark or Favorite button and the page name (of the html page) is saved to a list, just like what you see in modern browsers. Clicking on the list row brings up the bookmarked page. However, the app is not a browser, but made up of html/css/js pages that function from within a /www/ folder of the app.

I've searched for such a script online, but the only ones I see are for desktop browsers (they permit a visitor to click on a link to place the page in the Bookmarks tab or folder of the browser). Does anyone know of a script that'll work on html pages in the iPhone and Android devices?

Thanks!
Steve

Hello JavaScripters! I was hoping you could help me with an application I'm working on using C# and the .NET Framework that incorporates Javascript. I'm trying to do something similar to to the FireBug / Firefox Inspect Element featu



I came across http://www.selectorgadget.com/ which is exactly what I'm trying to do. It's in Javascript and after looking through the source code for the past 2 hours I still don't have a clue how to incorporate it into my program...

From what I can tell it uses tokenizing and recursive analysis of DOM elements to figure out CSS selector paths: http://www.selectorgadget.com/stable/lib/dom.js.



Here is what I have so far. The javascript code highlights HTML elements such as a <table> tag and changes the border and background color.


Code:

  document.onmouseover = dohighlight;
  document.onmouseout = dohighlightoff;

  var BGCOLOR = "#444444";
  var BORDERCOLOR = "#FF0000";

// Highlight <table> in grey 
  function dohighlight()
  {
    var elem = window.event.srcElement;

    while (elem!=null && elem.tagName!="TABLE")
        elem = elem.parentElement;

    if (elem==null) return;

    if (elem.border==0)
    {
        elem.border = 1;

        // store current values in custom tag attributes
        //
        elem.oldcolor = elem.style.backgroundColor; // store backgroundcolor
        elem.style.backgroundColor = BGCOLOR; // new background color

        elem.oldbordercolor = elem.style.borderColor; // same with bordercolor
        elem.style.borderColor = BORDERCOLOR;

        var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
        rng.moveToElementText(elem);

// Make a red border around <table>
  function dohighlightoff()
  {
    var elem = window.event.srcElement;

    while (elem!=null && elem.tagName!="TABLE")
        elem = elem.parentElement;

    if (elem==null) return;

    if (elem.border==1)
    {
        elem.border = 0;

        // recover values from custom tag attribute values
        elem.style.backgroundColor = elem.oldcolor;
        elem.style.borderColor = elem.oldbordercolor;
    }
  }

Any ideas on how to incorporate the Selectorgadget into my program would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
well i am having this annoying issue from previous 3 months and its a very long story to tell but i will try to make it small, well i am interested in using a popup to show flash games in it, so i did then my interest went to make all games playable in full screen so i did that too and got success, but i am facing issues due to wmode, if you visit my this site link
http://www.bloghuts.com/2010/11/13-days-in-hell.html
and click on play game for other browsers while using google chrome browser, you will see the error there will be blocks appearing in the game, while if click on play for google chrome
then this error is not there, its just because of WMODE, for google chrome button i am using wmode while for all other browsers i am not doing this.
the reason for not using wmode to my other browser play button is that if i add wmode to the games then the performance of the game is highly damaged in fireforx and internet explorer, and also to some extent in other browsers including google chrome.
WHAT DO I NEED FROM YOU PEOPLE?
it is that i want to get rid of this wmode=opaque thing as it makes the game slow even in google chrome which is effecting game playing quality, i used window,transparent too
but nothing good came out of it.
Only google chrome is asking for the wmode, while our step child internet explorer is happy with it, hehehehe
Please someone help me out i am literally taking out my hair, lol
some more information i would like to provide so that things work fast, i am using blogger blog, i have knowledge of html,xhtml,css, and for java or jquery its hint and trial.
thanks for reading the long story and giving me time,
if you can help please help me out, and i don't have money to pay for your service of help, otherwise why would i try to make blog xD.
thank you
Regards.

I have found a jQuery slide show at http://tobia.github.com/CrossSlide/ which interests me because of its smooth, cross-browser fade transitions. I would like to add a feature which automatically resizes the images proportionally, to fit the browser window. This feature is demonstrated in the Supersized slide show at www.mauitradewinds.com, but I am not satisfied with the quality of fade transition with Supersized -- especially under Safari. I would appreciate any guidance as to how to implement auto-resizing with the Cross-slide plug-in. Additionally, it would help if Cross-slide launched the slide show without waiting for all images to load.
