JavaScript - Ajax Handling Help Needed
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 Similar TutorialsFirstly I apologize if this is the wrong forum, I wasn't too sure of where to post it as my problem covers several areas. I have been writing a 'Facebook Application' which is primarily in PHP. It is about the economics of futuristic spaceship production. I have done the bulk of the game mechanics in PHP and have set about making the interface. I am stuck on a page which can be viewed here where you can employ workers to work in your mines/factories. Each worker has five skill types (worker, miner, manager etc...) and to be employed he must be offered a contract for one of those skills. The process of employing someone works like this. 1. You search for the 'type' of worker you want. 2. Search Results are shown. 3. You click on the name of the person you want to employ. 4. A new form appears (under the table) for you to fill in the contract details. 5. The person (PHP function!) rejects or accepts the contract. If you look at the link above you will see I've made a search box which uses AJAX/html/php to make the table (which I'm quite proud of as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to javascript/ajax). Ive come unstuck as to how to select which worker to offer a contract to. What needs to happen is: 1. The name or a tick box is selected. 2. It sends some form of unique identifier back to the same page so the form (to offer a contract) knows which person in the table is being referred to *preferably without a page refresh*. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming I'm going to need to use some form of get/post and ajax but i cant figure out how to do it. I hope all this makes sense. Hi, I am hoping I just need to be pointed in the right direction with this. I have Page1. When Page1 body onloads it uses Ajax to call PartA Within PartA I have a message board so members can write messages which will be sent to my database in PartA[1] and immediately posted for view on to PartA[2]. As I want to have my request to the server updating regularly I want to have PartA[2] on a timed loop to refresh - I do not need the content of PartA[1] to refresh. So the order of events would look like this: Page1 | onload call | v PartA / \ V V PartA[1] PartA[2] (loads once) (constantly refreshes) What I am not sure about is that I have <body> and <head> attributes in Page1 only. I have already used my body onload to call PartA (and can't use it to call PartA[2] before PartA has loaded anyway). I do not want the user to have to click a button or do anything to call up PartA[2]. So my question is how would I get PartA[2] to automatically load within PartA? I hope I have made this clear, but if I haven't let me know and I will try again. Hi 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> 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. 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. Resolved!
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...

If anybody knows how to do this please let me know. Thanks 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!
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. 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 I can get this code to take two separate sections of a file which are not beside each other and write them into another file. It always comes up as a single full line of the code instead of the sections I want. The code includes the student number first name last name and three results of assignments. I want the code to write the student number and three results of all the students into a file and then work out the average of the student results. Can you help? Code: try{ while (in.hasNextLine()) { String line = in.nextLine(); out.println( line); int i=0; if(!Character.isDigit(line.charAt(i))) { i++; } studentStringNumber = line.substring(0, i); String stringResult = line.substring(i); studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber.trim(); stringResults = stringResults.trim(); double stringResultsValue = Double.parseDouble(stringResults.trim()); stringResults = in.nextLine(); studentStringNumber = in.nextLine(); studentNumber = Integer.parseInt(studentStringNumber); if(in.hasNextInt()) { int value = in.nextInt(); } results = Double.parseDouble(stringResults); if(in.hasNextDouble()) { double value = in.nextDouble(); } Scanner lineScanner = new Scanner(line); studentStringNumber = lineScanner.next(); while(!lineScanner.hasNextDouble()) { studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber+ " " +lineScanner.next(); } stringResultsValue = lineScanner.nextDouble(); } } I was wondering if someone would have the time to talk and help explain some Ajax things to me... slowly. I'm trying to make my web sites more dynamic. Like I just need someone I can bounce ideas off and they can walk me through step by step on how to do them. Thanks Shelby i have a html wich i am working on ..

I used JQuery AJAX to get data from a different page and show it in my div. This all works fine but now i want the page collected by AJAX to execute a Javascript function which is in the page which request the AJAX page. I have this so far but its not working. This is in the AJAX-ed page. Code: <a href="#" onClick="change_postcode(prompt('Please Enter Your Postcode', 'SW10')"); )">SW10</a> And the page which requested the AJAX page. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function change_postcode(postcode){ $('#view8').html('<p><img src="http://www.MySite.com/images/loading.gif"/><br />Loading! Please Wait...</p>'); $('#view8').load("http://www.mywebsite.com/include.php?inc=Events&when=&postcode="+postcode); }</script> I though about using top but that didn't work. Code: <a href="#" onClick="top.change_postcode(prompt('Please Enter Your Postcode', 'SW10')"); )">SW10</a> How can i get my AJAX page to execute a Javascript function which is in the page which contains the the AJAX page. Thankyou all for reading my post Paul P.S Am very sorry for my way with words. Hello everyone. I was working on a ajax function and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm kinda new with the prototype method I was wondering if I could get some help figuring out what I'm doing wrong here exactly and how I can fix this. Any help on this would be wonderful. Thanks, Jon W Code: function createAjax() { if(!this.http && window.ActiveXObject) { try { this.http = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP" || "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch(e1) { this.http = false; } } if(!this.http && window.XMLHttpRequest) { try { this.http = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch(e2) { alert("Sorry we was unable to make a request between your browser."); } } } createAjax.prototype.request = function(url) { var rmd = Math.random(); this.http.open('get', url+"&rmd="+rmd, true); this.http.send(null); this.http.onreadystatechange = this.responseHandler; } createAjax.prototype.responseHandler = function(obj) { if(this.http.readyState == 4) { document.getElementById(obj).innerHTML = this.responseText; } } function ajax(url, obj) { a = new createAjax(); a.request(url); a.responseHandler(obj); } var doAjax = new ajax('ajax.php?name=jon','content'); |
