JavaScript - Obtaining Unc Path Using Javascript
Hi all,
I have been searching for a long time to obtain the UNC path of a file using the FileUpload control using javascript.. Is there any way to obtain it. Can anyone please guide me to the answer. Thank you, Aswin Similar TutorialsHow do I retrieve input/selections from this calendar widget on this site: moongarm.99k.org
Good evening! After spending the last few days wrecking my brain over a simple JavaScript quiz I decided it was time I asked for help. The complete code is right beneath this post. The page will display brief instructions followed by a table containing the quiz. I'm having two rather peculiar problems. The first is with the Score() function which reads as follows: function Score(){ for(i=1;i<=10;i++) if(ans[i]== yourAns[i]) score++; prequiz.score.value= score; } Now unless I'm mistaken (which I am since the score isn't being tabulated correctly) this function essentially uses a for to cycle through both arrays, comparing the user's input against the array containing the right answers. If the contents within index i are the same on both arrays the score increases by one point. Once it cycles through the arrays, it passes score over to prequiz.score.value which will later pass this number to the text box that will display the grade to the user. The problem I'm experiencing is that the score will either be stuck at 2 or will display as 9 (even though all 10 answers were correct). Steps I've taken to try to solve this: Thinking it was the setAnsArray(question, answer) function I added a document.writeline to it. However it showed that the values were being passed correctly to the answer array. Added a document.writeline to the Score() function. Unlike the point above, score always displays as 00000 regardless of how many right answers I provide. The second issue I'm having is that the reset button is not working correctly. If I hit reset and answer the first question, the score will come back as double the score displayed before. Any insight into what is causing this issue is greatly appreciated!

At the moment I have the following function for handling events such as onclick, mouseover, mouseout. Code: function switcher(action, img){ switch(action){ case "hover": //mouse is on image document.imgSeat.src = "images/hover.gif"; break; case "click": //mouse has clicked image document.imgSeat.src = "images/click.gif"; break; default: //mouse elsewhere document.imgSeat.src = "images/defaulter.gif"; break; } } And the html the function refers to Code: <body> <div id="imagesholder"> <a href="#nerf"><img border="0" id="seat0" src="images/available.gif"></a> </div> </body> What im trying to do change my function so that instead of it being hard coded for the id "imgSeat" i can use the id passed through the parameter "img" instead. However I seem to be banging my head against the wall. I've tried using the following Code: document.getElementById(img).src = "images/available.gif"; //no error, just does nothing //where img is "0" instead of "seat0" document.seat[img].src = "images/available.gif"; //error: document.seat is undefined Would be extremely greatful if someone should push me in the right direction or show me what im doing wrong. I'm working on a site built through Squarespace, and I've run into some limitations. They've told me it's possible to build a Javascript to pull specific images from one page's journal entries and place them (with links to the entry) on other pages. Can somebody send me in the right direction on how I would do this? Basically I want to find a most recent posting tagged with a specific category, find the file file path of it's related image, and make that appear on the page that my javascript is on. is there some way to searching through multiple path or recursively searching through a path (folders and subfolders) using the code below which seems to search only one node in the tree? Many Thanks. there are basically subfolders in \documents and then subfolders therein. i would like to search it therein for all kinds of files/filenames based on "search criteria". one more thing - is it ok/advisable to use active x objects considering most modern browsers have it disabled or give warnings? Code: <script> var Fo =new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var StrOut = new String(); var FileName = new String(); var Extention = new String(); function FindFile(FOo) { var FSo = new Enumerator(FOo.Files); for(i=0;!FSo.atEnd();FSo.moveNext()) { if(FileName == "*" || FSo.item().name.slice(0,FSo.item().name.lastIndexOf(".")).toLowerCase().indexOf(FileName)>-1) if(Extention == "*" || FSo.item().name.slice(FSo.item().name.lastIndexOf(".")+1).toLowerCase().indexOf(Extention)>-1){ StrOut += "<tr "+ ((i%2)?

I have the authentication set up, but I'm not sure how I would retrieve the interests, which is a JSON array. Here's my code so far Code: FB.api('/me', function(user) { if(user != null) { //create image variable and getting image var image = document.getElementById('image'); image.src = 'http://graph.facebook.com/' + user.id + '/picture'; //create name variable and getting name var name = document.getElementById('name'); name.innerHTML = user.name var movies = document.getElementById("movies"); } }); I'm not sure how I would get the movies and display the information- I know what I did isn't right since "movies" is an array... Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Unfortunately, this isn't standard cookie stuff (I don't think). I have a compiled .exe loader for a program which includes an .html page which records the input of a textbox to a cookie. That much works OK. But reading it back isn't working. It seems the path is: ~~local~~/C:/Users/Terry/AppData/Local/Temp/td9/FrontPage%20Webs/1001(FINAL)(v1.2)/loader/ i.e. a temp dir related to the directory from where the .exe file was created. What I need is for the cookie to be available everywhe ~~local~~/ Is anyone able to shed some light? Adding ";path=/"; isn't working. I guess it's something to do with being compiled? Hi all First post. I don't normally use Javascript apart from a few browser workarounds, but I have a requirement to set a country cookie and it was working when all my pages were in the same directory, but now that I've added subdirectories, it sets a new cookie for each directory instead of one sitewide. Here's the code (which I edited from some found on the internet): Code: // JavaScript Document <!-- function ReadCookie() { var NameOfCookie="Country"; if(document.cookie.length > 0) { begin = document.cookie.indexOf(NameOfCookie+"="); if(begin != -1) { // our cookie was set. // The value stored in the cookie is returned from the function begin += NameOfCookie.length + 1; end = document.cookie.indexOf(";",begin); if(end == -1) end = document.cookie.length; country=(document.cookie.substring(begin,end)); if (country=="HongKong")document.location.href='hk/'; if (country=="Australia")document.location.href='au/' if (country=="NewZealand")document.location.href='nz/' } } } function SetCookie(cookieName,cookieValue) { var today = new Date(); var expire = new Date(); var nDays=365 expire.setTime(today.getTime() + 3600000*24*nDays); document.cookie = cookieName+"="+escape(cookieValue) + ";expires="+expire.toGMTString(); } //--> Then on the homepage links I use: Code: <a href="hk/" onClick="SetCookie('Country','HongKong');">Hong Kong</a> Then on the subdirectory pages, I have a reset button which allows you to return to the homepage and disable the redirect. Code: <a href="../" onClick="SetCookie('Country','Null');">HONG KONG</a> So I just need the path=/ to be added somewhere is that right? I tried changing the last line of the main code to: Code: + ";expires="+expire.toGMTString()+" path=/"; but that only worked in IE not Firefox. Can anyone help? Thank you! thingswelike Hi, I have setting some cookies to track visitors to my site. I have my pages in folder music and in sub folders. I can access my site by typing: www.ms.webspace.com/sara/music So the domain will be: www.ms.webspace.com and the path: /sara/music/ but the broblem is that other cookies are attached to my cookieby going to www.ms.webspace.com or any link in it. Is the problem from setting the path? If not how can I filter my cookie so i can just display my cookies only, I use one function to display all the cookies. Thanks.

Let me clarify: I need a way for a html page or something similar be able to determine what it's full path is. It must self-determine this. Can javascript help me with this? Any recommendations of what route I should take to figure this out? Thanks! Hi, I have a script that sets a number of cookies based on a set of results returned from an external website. The file sits in the cgi-bin folder (it has to, as this is where the data is processed and results returned) and when the data is returned it is stored in a number of cookies before redirecting to a results page in the website root to display the data. The problem, before I display any code, is that one of the cookies is setting its path to the /cgi-bin folder, meaning when the page redirects back to the website this particular cookie is not accessible. However, what is even more unusual is that this only happens in Safari. Here is the code: Code: <script> // function to set cookie function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays) { var exdate=new Date(); exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + expiredays); document.cookie = c_name + "=" + value + ((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires=" + exdate.toGMTString()) + "; path=/"; } </script> <!-- the divs below are populated with data --> <div style="display:none;" id="listcount"><!--matchcode name="LISTCOUNT" --></div> <div style="display:none;" id="nearrecs"><!--matchcode name="NEARESTRECORDS" --></div> <div style="display:none;" id="distances"><!--matchcode name="MILES" --></div> <div style="display:none;" id="ambigrecs"><!--matchcode name="AMBIGLIST" --></div> <script type="text/javascript"> // data is extracted from the divs above var ncSnip = document.getElementById("nearrecs").innerHTML; var ncDistances = document.getElementById("distances").innerHTML; var listCount = document.getElementById("listcount").innerHTML; var ambig = document.getElementById("ambigrecs").innerHTML; if (ambig != "") { //document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "ambig"; setCookie("ckAmbig", ambig, 365); setCookie("ckResults", ncSnip, -1); setCookie("ckDistances", ncDistances, -1); setCookie("ckListCount", listCount, 365); window.location="http://xxxxx"; } else if (ncSnip != "") { //document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "records"; setCookie("ckDistances", ncDistances, 365); setCookie("ckResults", ncSnip, 365); setCookie("ckAmbig", ambig, -1); setCookie("ckListCount", listCount, 365); window.location="http://xxxxxx"; } else { //document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "none"; setCookie("ckAmbig", ambig, -1); setCookie("ckResults", ncSnip, -1); setCookie("ckDistances", ncDistances, -1); setCookie("ckListCount", listCount, 365); window.location="http://xxxxxx"; } </script> The specific cookie that is being set to the wrong path is the 'ckResults' cookie. Can anyone help? Does the code above shed any light as to why this one cookie would set an incorrect path in Safari only? Hi all, I have an .xsl file that reads an xml file and populates an html file and that is working well. I want to have many xml files (one per project) and one .xsl and html file. The goal would be to get the user to browse for the particular xml file they want to use and have the html file reference the path and file name. There will be a main page where the user will browse for the xml file in question. When they hit submit, the information (document path) is passed to the html file and the html file opens with information from the xml page they selected .In my html file I have the following: Code: xml.load(''12345.xml'') Basically I would like to somehow browse to the xml file in question and pass that variable (file path and name) to the html file and replace "1234.xml" with the path and name selected by the browse section. Does this make sense? Thanks. Reply With Quote 01-22-2015, 11:04 PM #2 Old Pedant View Profile View Forum Posts Supreme Master coder! Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,310 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts The easiest way to do this would be via server-side code. For example, just have a PHP page the includes the desired ".xml" file into a page that is already setup with the XSLT. I vaguely recall reading that there is a way to "apply" XSLT to a dynamic set of XML, but the function named apply() in XSLT doesn't do anything like this. Still, the easiest way to control this would be via the server side code. Heck, that would even allow you to string together "pieces" of XML from various files to create the final document. I've done LOTS of Googling on this subject. I can write cookies beautifully to '[other data]; path=/Stats' but I can't figure out how on EARTH to read from it. How do I access the data there? If I just say path=/ then it will read beautifully, but I need to be able to have different paths for what I want this to ultimately do.
I want to have another go at Javascript. I have several books on the subject but I find that my eyesight is a major problem. Therefore I want to try an on-line solution, preferably free. I have Googled, but there are so many that I am almost dizzy with the choices. Perhaps someone could recommend one. Not too fussy visually. My knowledge is VERY basic. Frank Hello! I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once. Does anyone know how to do this please? Thanks so much for your help. |
