JavaScript - Client Site Handling Possible?
I don't have much experience in Javascript and would like to hear your suggestions before choosing which direction to pursue for my project. I want to design a web page which allows a user to input a file which contains a list of addresses. Then send these addresses to Google Maps API for geocoding and returned XY coordinates will be saved in a file and downloaded to the PC. Can this be done completely in Javascript(client side handling) or the input addresses need to be sent to a server and let the server talk to Google Maps API to complete geocoding and then send back the coordinates data to the browser(sever side handling). Please help!
Similar TutorialsHi everyone; I have created a JavaScript function to show either a enabled or a disabled text input field depending on whether a checkbox has been clicked or not. It works great for that purpose. However, when I use it for more than one text input field and I submit the form, it goes back to its disabled form. This is a problem if you by mistake submit the form without filling all the fields. As I said, the submit button makes the form go disabled. Is there a way to either not have the form go disabled after submission or to have a "Oncheck" function so I can use $_SESSION to keep the checked attribute? Thanks in advance for all your help Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> #Active { display:none; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function toggle() { if (document.getElementById) { if (document.getElementById("checkbox").checked == true) { document.getElementById("Active").style.display = "block"; document.getElementById("Inactive").style.display = "none"; } else { document.getElementById("Inactive").style.display = "block"; document.getElementById("Active").style.display = "none"; } } } </script> </head> <body> <?php echo "Add Field"; echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"check\" id=\"checkbox\" onClick=\"toggle();\" value=\"v\"/>"; echo "<form method=\"post\">"; echo "<div id=Active>"; if(isset($_SESSION['test']) && $_SESSION['test']!="") { echo "<input name=\"test\" value=\"". $_SESSION['test']."\" type=\"text\" />"; } elseif(isset($_POST['test']) && $_POST['test']!="") { echo "<input name=\"test\" value=\"". $_POST['test']."\" type=\"text\"/>"; } else { echo "<input name=\"test\" type=\"text\"/>"; } echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"test2\" >"; echo "</div>"; echo "<div id=Inactive>"; echo "<input type=\"text\" disabled>"; echo "<input type=\"text\" disabled>"; echo "</div>"; echo "<input type=\"submit\">"; echo "</form>"; $test = $_POST['test']; $_SESSION = $_POST['test']; $test2 = $_POST['test2']; $_SESSION = $_POST['test2']; echo $test; ?> </body> </html> I've used js only for simple form validations thus far. I've been working on a coldfusion/ajax dynamic select list for a few days and just about have it functioning the way I want it. My question is this. Whats the best way, if any, to handle users who turn js off. What I mean is, I have so far three separate queries for my three select lists, and are populated with ajax calls. Is there a way to get the same functionality with standard queries and page refreshes in case a visitor does have js disabled? Thanks for any tips and advice. Hi I am new to Javascript. I am working in keyboard Event handling. i dont know how to handle multple keys pressed or sequence of keys pressed. Want to know more about key holding , key Listener. Resolved!
Long time since I have been on here been really busy with college etc, I am in need of some help / advice on how to get my head around something I need to do. Basicly I want to do is be able to do two kinds of AJAX requests in one function called AJAX. Example of type one: Code: AJAX('div#example',{ type: 'post', url: 'example.php', params: {do:'test',type:2}, success: function(o) { this.innerHTML = o.responseText; } }); The above code will set the innerHTML of the div with an id equaling 'example' with everything that is visible on the page example.php when the parameters are do=test&type=2. Example of type two: Code: var div = document.getElementById('example'), example = AJAX({ type: 'post', url: 'example.php', params: {do:'test',type:2} }); if(div && example.responseText) { div.innerHTML = example.responseText; } The above code does the same thing as the code in example one but this time there is no success function but everything has been assigned to the variable 'example' which has now become an object. Basicly what I need to know is in a function like this. Code: function AJAX(t,o) {} How can I assign the current AJAX response to the success function but still be able to use 'this' to refer to the object for 'div#example', and with the second example how can I assign the AJAX response to the variable for use after the AJAX call has been done? Thank you in advance... - DJCMBear Hi, I have a func1() called when mouseOver even fired. And while the func1() is executing if mouseOut event fires I want to exit the func1(). If anybody knows how to do this please let me know. Thanks I've been looking at the specs for javascript, but I don't understand results I'm getting. A Date object is calculated from the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970. A PHP DateTime object is calculated from the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970, so from the latter, add three zeros, and you have milliseconds. The issue I have happens when I set the date. Below is the result of a test already filled out when I entered April 23, 2000 @ 17:00Hrs. The resulting alert shows 17:0, which is correct. But change the date to, say, 1981 and try it again. The corresponding timestamps are 356922000 and 356922000000 (Hard to see? That's '356922' ending in three zeros and six zeros respectively ;-)). My alert now reports 18:0! Since the timestamp should be good for any time after Jan 1, 1970, why is the display off for a date in this year? What mechanism is responsible for this? Yep, that's it. I'd really like to know, though...

Place that in the setTimestamp call, AND copy it into the setTime javascript call, appended with three zeros (to go from seconds to milliseconds). 3. I'm finding that when the alert pops up, the time it displays is not always the same as the output from the echo statement! */ echo '<br />'; $t3_var = new DateTime(); $t3_var->setDate(2000,04,23); $t3_var->setTime(17,0); echo 'timestamp: ' . $t3_var->getTimestamp(); echo '<br />'; $decoder1 = new DateTime(); $decoder1->setTimestamp(956534400); echo 'time: ' . $decoder1->format('m-d-Y, H:i') . '<br />'; ?> </body> </html> so, I should start by saying that I don't really understand callbacks (but I understand what they do), and here's the thing: html5 browser geolocation has an error callback which works fine EXCEPT if the user is using FF and refuses to share their location. In IE and Chrome, this produces a "permission denied" error which you can then handle. But firefox just sits there because it never receives the error. Here's an example - click on Not now in FF to see what I mean. So the only solution I can see is to make some special case for FF and this is where my question comes in - can I set a condition within the callback that says something like if it wasn't successful, but you didn't get an error, do this... I thought that if (!position&&!error) {useMaxMind("Firefox fallback"); } might do it, but it can't go in the error callback (I guess because that only fires if an error is detected) and it doesn't work in the main function (I guess because if that code runs it means the location has been found)... anyway. Here's what I have for the moment, which just sets a timeout as soon as it loads. It would be nice to have something a bit more elegant, though. thanks in advance... Code: function initialize() { // try W3C standard approach var geoTimeout = 10000; var timeOuthandler = setTimeout("useMaxMind('Timeout')", geoTimeout); if(navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { var latLong = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude); alert("geolocation successful"); clearTimeout(timeOuthandler); showMap(latLong, 16); }, function (error) { switch (error.code) { case 0: message = "Something went wrong: " + error.message; break; case 1: message = "You denied permission to this page to retrieve a location."; break; case 2: message = "The browser was unable to determine a location: " + error.message; break; case 3: message = "The browser timed out before retrieving the location."; break; } clearTimeout(timeOuthandler); useMaxMind(message); }, {timeout:geoTimeout} ); } else { useMaxMind("No browser support"); } } Hi I am using httpXmlRequest object to call a xml web service. In order to successfully perform a task there are couple steps need to happen. 1 you have to request for a session (cookie) 2 with the cookie, we need to authenticate with the server 3 then perform other actions snippet of my code looks something like this. Basically here i am trying to get the cookie, login and then logout once logged in. function connect() { document.myForm.elements['myTextArea'].value += "connecting to teh server.\n"; try { xhttp.open("GET",urlStr + commonInfoParam, true); xhttp.send(); xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML; xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () { if(xmlDoc.readyState == 4) { var resultsTag = null; resultsTag = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("results"); if(resultsTag != null) { for(i=0;i<resultsTag.length;i++) { var commonTag = resultsTag[i].getElementsByTagName("common"); for(j=0;j<commonTag.length; j++) { cookie = commonTag[j].getElementsByTagName("cookie")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; break; } } } if(cookie != null) { document.myForm.elements['myTextArea'].value += "cookie found: " + cookie + "\n"; login(); } } }; } catch(e) { document.myForm.elements['myTextArea'].value += "Exception occurred at connect: " + e.message + "\n"; } } function login() { var loginRequestURL = "http://testconnect.com/api/xml?action=login&login=" + username+ "&password=" + password + "&session=" + cookie; try { xhttp.open("GET", loginRequestURL, true); xhttp.send(); xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML; xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () { alert('in loginResponseHandler'); if(xmlDoc.readyState == 4) { try { loginStatus = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].attributes.getNamedItem("code").nodeValue; if(loginStatus == 'ok') { alert("login is good: " + loginStatus); logout(); } else { } } catch(e) {} } }; } catch(e) { } } function logout() { alert("in logout"); try { xhttp.open("GET", logoutRequestURL + cookie, true); xhttp.send(); xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML; xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () { alert("in logoutResponseHandler"); if(xmlDoc.readyState == 4) { try { status = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].attributes.getNamedItem("code").nodeValue; if(status == 'ok') { alert(status); } } catch(e) {} } }; } catch(e) {} } so when I run my code in the browser, all my alert stages give me proper message as expected. But at the final alert, it hangs. I just could not figvure out what am i doing wrong. can any one pin point this out for me please? Thanks in advance. KM Hi there, I've been a web designer for a while and have always used basic javascript in my pages, but decided recently that I would get right into the nitty gritty, however I'm having a problem with some really basic code. Secondly, the book which I'm using is from 2005 and is extolling the virtues of event listeners and so on, is this still the accepted means of handling events? And thirdly, are there still chasms between the browsers in compatability in this area? I'm aware IE has become more and more compliant recently, is it still necessary to write code to cover different browsers or does it all pretty much work nowadays (besides older browsers)? So, to the code! Basically, the browser doesn't get into the function to display the alert(), and i'm not sure why. (Told you it was basic ) Code: <html> <head> <title>Javascript Testing</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function aKeyWasPressed(e){ alert('Sausages!'); } var textarea = document.getElementById('myta'); textarea.addEventListener('keyup', aKeyWasPressed, false); --> </script> </head> <body> <textarea id="myta"></textarea> </body> </html> Thanks! Hi, I think the problem I am having is an event not a css issue, so I hope I posted in the right forum. What I am trying to achieve is the capability to provide multiple instant chat messages. I have the php/ajax for the instant messages, what I am not sure is how to be able to view multiple chats. What I have started to do is limit it to five possible instant chat messages and have five divs in place with visibility hidden. It works fine for one. But if someone clicks on the name of a person they wish to chat with, the way I am currently doing it, I would need to find out: 1. which divs were free to start an instant chat in (I have no idea how to do this with divs)? 2. Having identified it I will need to change the visibility so it suddenly becomes visible I guess firstly am I going about this the right way to be able to host/view multiple chats? My code is below.

I just got stuck on the logistics side of figuring out how was the best way to make this happen, any pointers would be great. 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! Hopefully the title isn't too confusing, I shall explain... I'm a basic PHP/javascript developer and I need to build a series of forms where info is passed from page to page and there will be a need to skip to different sequences of pages depending upon answers given. I have distilled this into a small example (try.php) where I can set my page destination using javascript but I'd like to be able to set a session variable to store the form data to reuse it on other pages. Because I haven't used a form action then the result doesn't get stored. This example should make it clearer... Here is a simple form, I send the visitor to either page 1 or page 2 depending on their radio button choice: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function OnSubmitForm() { if(document.myform.destination[0].checked == true) { document.myform.action ="pg1.php"; } else if(document.myform.destination[1].checked == true) { document.myform.action ="pg2.php"; } return true; } </script> <form name="myform" onsubmit="return OnSubmitForm();"> name: <input type="text" name="name"><br> email: <input type="text" name="email"><br> <input type="radio" name="destination" value="1" checked>go to page 1<br> <input type="radio" name="destination" value="2">go to page 2 <p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="go"> </p> </form> This works fine inasmuch as it takes the visitor to the correct page, however I'd like to store the name entered as a session variable and reuse it on page 1 (or page 2). page1.php looks like this (and page 2 is very similar): Code: <?php session_start(); // debug - turn on error reporting error_reporting(E_ALL | E_NOTICE); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); //Store our posted values in a session variable if (isset ($_POST['name'])) { $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name']; } else { $_SESSION['name'] = null; } echo ("Session variable is set to: ".$_SESSION['name']); ?> <h1>welcome to page 1</h1> I'm sure that pg1.php would work if I had used a form action but I need the ability to send the visitor to different pages on form submission Is it possible to write the name to a session variable in try.php (I guess using javascript/ajax)? Thanks for any hints and examples Nigel hi, how can i get client mac address OR hdd id with javascript for internet explorer? Hello, I have two problems. Firstly I am trying to make a form with client side validation but I have come across a problem. I need to validate the whole form under just one button but for validating email and phone number I have two different buttons and I am not sure how to make all the code run under just one button when it is submitted. The second problem is with validating the phone number. I am sure the code and javascript is fine, but for some reason it will not work.

Thank you I have been interested in APIs in the last time and i want to know exactly how it works from the server side. so i tried to figure out how the client side API working , first step i took the Google Plus One JS client side code and i tried to figure out how it works , mostly i tried to find how it gets connect to the server side. i couldn't find what this whole code doing , mainly because i focused to find Ajax requests , but there is none of them. this is the api I checked : https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js now , my questions is simple , i want to know how API connect to the server side , do they use AJAX? what exactly they use to send request to server side ? i need you're help to know more on how api working on Client side , mainly on the connect to the server. so , how it get's done? I'm new to web programming, and so I may be going about this all wrong but this is what I'm trying to do. I'm creating an interface to access my google base, I can do that part without much trouble but to access the server you need to request a session token. This token has to be sent to the server along with your query. I use JS on the main page which calls a php script that requests the key, then calls the server for a full list of items which is then passed back to the javascript in JSON format. The user then selects a field from the option box and i need to requery the server for the updated list. But to do this i need to resend the session token, and this is where I'm having trouble. I need to save this token, but im not sure the best way to go about this. I can pass it back to the JS portion and save it as a variable that i can then pass to the PHP script that queries the server, but im worried the key may contain private information about my log in information. Is there a way to make this token variable hidden in the JS so that the client could not see it? Or am i way off base and the client can't view any of the variables anyways? If someone has a suggestion for me that would be much appreciated. i am making a registration page for my website and for validation using javascript...is there any way to know on my client side javascript enable or not....
Does anyone know of a photo gallery where the CLIENT is able to update both the images and the captions? Please and thank you. Or...... does anyone know of a gallery which pulls the photos and captions from a database? I can build a client interface to the database myself? Thanks again. 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 |
