One function that's available in both IE and Mozilla is
document.getElementsByName(); In conjunction with a change of style or
class name, the highlighting should be a walk in the park.

Hopefully this is an easy one, but I'm not sure how to describe it concise enough to Google.
I have the following bit of JavaScript:
node.childNodes[0].onclick=function()
{
showHideAllDivs
(
navRoot.parentNode.id,
this.innerHTML.replace(/[^A-Za-z]/g,""),
this.id
);
return false;
} [white space modified for e-mail]
This dynamically assigns a function call to the onClick event of several anchor tags for some DHTML shenanigans.
The trouble is that the first parameter of the showHideAllDivs() function needs to be the value of navRoot.parentNode.id at the time of this assignment (navRoot is initialized before this code), but instead the event is being created with the navRoot.parentNode.id value un-resolved and it is being resolved at runtime when the anchors are clicked on. Unfortunately it is then the wrong value and I get errors that I spent a very long time tracking down to this cause.
There has got to be a way to write this to say use the value of navRoot.parentNode.id right now, not wait until later to resolve the value?
TIA

Greetings Everyone,
While I appreciate Flavio and Hakan's empty page additive suggestions, I've
decided a text highlighting method is best to better distinguish the selected
table item. So what I think I need to do is dynamically reconstruct the page
each time an is selected. The "new" page will of
course have the background/text color attributes reversed for the appropriate
item so as to make the item's text look highlighted. More importantly the
window.location.href variable for the new page will need to be set to the name
attribute of the tag which corresponds to the href attribute in the
selected area tag.
Since the description of this process is a little cryptic, let's try a visual:
So at this point I'm not messing with the new page construction, I'm just trying
to get the document to duplicate the mapping functionality without using the
map object rather; using JavaScript. When I open this HTML document, I get
that good 'ol "object expected" error when I click on any of the "areas". The
areas are still recognized as links, though, since the icon changes when I
mouse over them. Is there anyone who recognizes what I'm doing wrong here??
Thanks,
Tracy:-)

There are a few ways to do this, but a simple one is to use a static
property of the function itself, like so:
node.childNodes[0].onclick=function()
{
showHideAllDivs
(
node.childNodes[0].onclick.navRootReference,
this.innerHTML.replace(/[^A-Za-z]/g,""),
this.id
);
return false;
}
node.childNodes[0].onclick.navRootReference=navRoot.parentNode.id;
Here, I've created a static property of the onclick function called
"navRootReference" that is used to store the value of
navRoot.parentNode.id at the time the function is created. By using a
static property of an already existing function, you avoid dealing with
globals or uneccessary objects, but you pay a price in clarity (a small
price, IMO).
This assumes, of course, that "node" is global or accessible in whatever
scope this function wil be called in (I'm assuming it is from your
description of what you are doing.)
If not, you can create a separate object and use it insetad of the
"node.childNodes[0].onclick" function itself to store your values.

Well, there's no prefixed type casting in JavaScript, so the "String
place" is probably what generates the first error. Also, I'm pretty sure
there is no constructor named "location", which will probably generate
the next error.
I suggest this change (untested, tired, sorry):
--
var oPrevAnchor; // global pointer to the last highlighted anchor
function goTo(sName) {
var oAnchor = document.getElementByName(sName);
if(oAnchor) {
if(oPrevAnchor)
oPrevAnchor.style.backgroundColor = 'white';
oAnchor.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow';
oPrevAnchor = oAnchor;
}
}

I would also return true; at the end of the function, btw, to make sure
that the link is firing.

To distinguish? Why don't you try select that portion. It will distinguish
conventionaly and you will save yourself from reloading the page, or what
other ideas you might have. Check for range.select command information on
the web. You will find it very usefull, as with selected text you can even

Hi list,
I have a site where users need to upload photos. Many of the users are
not comfortable with their computers. In order to make their lives
easier, I implemented a 'view' button so they could view their photos
before uploading them.
This feature works by extracting the path to the image file from the
file upload control and using it to create a file:// url which is
passed to an open window javascript call. Users had to make us a
'trusted site' in ie6, but it was a useful enough feature that many of
our users did so.
After installing service pack 2, this feature no longer works (except
in AOL).
Is there a workaround (besides recommending AOL ;-) ) ?
Thanks!

I have found that XP service pack 2 IE displays a little icon down the
bottom saying its blocked some content. The user must click this and then
agree that they are happy for this content to be allowed from this site from
now on and it continues to work then.

Are you talking about the popup blocker? IE is actually throwing an
'access denied' javascript error.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks!

This probably means that you are trying to reference an object such as a
frame or a div tag before it has been created. Maybe IE 6 is now rendering
the page quicker or differently and the object you are refering to has yet
to be drawn. Try moving your Javascript further down the page. If it will go
at the bottom put it there.
Try the above, If not can you post the code in question.

Roger,
My idea would be a bit different, it's just a guess (got no IE6.SP2 to
try), but may work.
I got some "acess denied" when trying to mess with "crossdomain"
scripting, and as JScript is crazy, probably now it's saying "access
denied" because "file://" is a different domain from yours site's
domain. Try something like this:

Tell me if it worked, owk?

Thank you Paul and Flavio
I think Flavio is on the money. His suggestion gave me a couple of
ideas. I'll code them up tonight and let you know.

Subject: [Javascript] Printing forms
In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
Hi All,
I have a question for you all,(couldn?t find an answer on the internet)
related to printing forms (in IE):
How do you avoid the problem of not printing the complete content of a
form-element?
Example: A form with a textarea with 4 lines, but the content has 8 lines
(and a scrollbar), or a textinput with size < maxlength etc....
Printing those will give you only the visible part, not the complete
content.
What i?m looking for is a (more or less) generic function/idea/solution
One option i can see is temporary changing sizes, rows and columns ect,
Another is getting the innerHTML of the body and removing all unnecessary
code before printing... (What is important at the moment is the content, not
the layout)
It should be a generic solution, because it must work on more than 1000
forms... (WBIS)
Anybody has already tackled this problem?
Ideas?
Thanks,
Allard

Hi Allard,
???You can temporarily expand/restore the textarea and input type="text"?by using the style.overflow property, e.g.
document.getElementById("myTextArea").style.overflowY = "visible";
document.getElementById("myTextInput").style.overflowX = "visible";
will show all content in the textarea, and
document.getElementById("myTextArea").style.overflowY = "scroll";
document.getElementById("myTextInput").style.overflowX = "hidden";
will put it back the way it was.
???This should be fairly easy to roll out across a lot of forms, assuming you have a central include script (or broad, sweeping search/replace capabilities a la HomeSite).? You could encapsulate this in a function that steps through the form and gets all elements of type "textarea", or something clever like that...

Subject: [Javascript] Slightly OT: Auto re-fill of form elements on browser
Back button.
Message-ID: <4163E8BF.80605@backbase.com>
Greetings.
As most of you probably experienced at one point or another, browsers
tend to keep the filled in values of form elements if you submit the
form and then hit the Back-button to go back to the form again. This
might be convenient in most cases, but I need to be able to control
this, and reset the values to their default values whenever the form is
"reloaded" in any way.
My questions is; Do anybody know of the exact criteria for this
auto-refill to happen? Is it only when you go back or is it simply a
question of caching on the browsers behalf?
Turning the feature off through the browser or sending HTTP-headers to
prevent caching is not really an option, I'm afraid.
Thankful for any suggestions.
Regards,
H

As far as I know this is a native browser function; and the exact
implementation differs per browser.

window.onload = function () {
document.forms[0].reset();
}
assuming that the default values are hard-coded into the page.

Thanks again for your helpful ideas.
I ended up with a different solution than I started with. The form
used to have a 'view picture' button which fired a javascript function
to open a new window with the 'file://' url of the local file to
display. IE was throwing 'access denied' errors on the open window
call.
The form now has a img thumbnail for each input="file" element the a
src of "file://". IE will let me change the src of the img to a local
file without throwing an error presumably because the protocols match.
I wonder how long it will be before this loophole is closed :) BTW, it
works in IE6/win, Moz, and Safari.

Subject: [Javascript] external script cache and script stripping
In-Reply-To: <4058BE83.2020001@backbase.com>
Message-ID:
I did some analysis on one of the modules in my client-side js-driven application.
To my understanding, the customer's browser will cache the external script files. To improve the
perceived performance of the application (which currently feels slow to start because of initial
download time) - i was considering delivering several of these scripts on each of the preceeding
pages on the site so the user can have already cached the external scripts before they reach the
application page. Imagine the user clicks through 4 pages before using this interactive js app -
deliver scripts 1-5 on page 1, 6-10 on page 2, 11-15 on page 3 even though they are not used on
those pages. When page 4 uses all 20 scripts, the download time is only for scripts 16-20. Call
it a script preload strategy. At this point, don't worry about the actual implementation - just
the concept of it.
Also- by removing tabs (chr(9)), extra spaces around operators (" = "," + "), and block comments
(/* */) the file is now 45% smaller (29744b -> 19551b) The unstripped code in 20 files is 109Kb.
I plan to have a custom control running server-side to automatically compare the source version
against the stripped version and "recomile" if the source is newer - because manually maintaining
versions would be painful for the lazy developer (myself) [note: i use the term 'stripped' because
i have no intention of trying to "compress" the file by tokenizing keywords/variables, etc. as i
have seen available.]
What are your opinions of 1. my idea of script preload, and 2. having a developer "source" version
of external javascripts and a "stripped" version for delivery to browsers?

Hi Mike,
In general I think it?s a good idea to spead the loading of the scripts.
The only "But" i can see is that your homepage (first page seen by the user)
will load a bit slower. And that may be a problem, so my suggestion is to
start doing it from the second page.
About cleaning code and stuff, I did some research into that myself and
somewhere on the way somebody told me that it?s not really necessary since
the code gets compressed before sending it to the client.
You may do it motivated by memory-usage though, it can?t hurt i think
Thats my 2 centavos (from Brazil ;-)

If we appear to get some improvement, i'll post back here. (I'll provide the OLE control if it
works well enough to not be embarrasing)
I'm still working on the assumption that any optimization offered by a protocol will be improved

Is the other way around. Document B is on a secure site, and posts a form to document A, which resides on another (not secure)
server. Document A cannot determine the referrer, at least using Javascript.

This is not possible in JavaScript. JavaScript can't read out system variables.
Posting an SQL query is possible, but it would require an intermediary
server side page which the script opens and passes its query to.

If you mean recent Mozilla-based browsers, try
document.getElementById("myDivision").appendChild(document.createTextNode("ABC"))
Note: Moz supports the MS-proprietary innerHTML but *only* in pages
served as mime-type "text/html"; in XHTML pages served properly as
"application/xhtml+xml", innerHTML will *not* work.
On the other hand, using the DOM properly as above will also work in
IE, so you're already ahead :-)
FWIW!

How do you create an application/xhtml+xml page that will work in
Mozilla? I just tried it, because I wanted to test this bit of lore,
but it doesn't work.
See http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/innerhtmltest.xhtml, the MIME type
is application/xhtml+xml . Works fine in Opera (and innerHTML works
fine, too), but Mozilla only shows it as an XML page, and doesn't seem
to interpret the HTML/CSS. What's gone wrong now?
Finding a doctype was tricky, too ( was not good enough, Moz and Op complained
about the last bracket).
I can understand why no one creates such pages.

It does, but you must realise that Mozilla isn't an XHTML1 user agent,
it's a non-validating XML user agent with knowledge of the XHTML1
namespace and MIME type. Thus, if the document does not use the XHTML1
namespace, it won't be treated as XHTML1. And you must use the
namespace in all XHTML documents anyway, it's required by the DTD.
(The reason? Why, XHTML1 and XHTML2 will have incompatible semantics,
but share the same MIME type. The namespace tells the user agent which
semantics it should use.)

In XML DOCTYPE declaration of the PUBLIC type requre both the PublicID
and the SystemID. (SystemID is the URL to the DTD.)

Bah, you're just frustrated because your first shot at it failed...

Sure, sure. But how do I change the page so that it works in Mozilla
while still being application/xhtml+xml? I just want to test whether
innerHTML works or not.

This was answered by the following:

IOW, you need the XHTML1 namespace for the browsers to know to apply
XHTML semantics to the element tree, including such things as style
sheet and scripting association, but also default styling, linking
semantics, forms and form controls semantics and the like.
A minimal XHTML1 document structure would be:
1. Recommended, and a must if you use non-unicode encodings: XML
declaration
2. Recommended: Style sheets should use the xml-stylesheet PI if
served as 'application/xhtml+xml'. However, since MSN/OSX as the
single 'application/xhtml+xml' user agent that doesn't have XML
support as a direct effect doesn't support the xml-stylesheet PI
either, using the XHTML link or style elements instead in
'application/xhtml+xml' served documents may be acceptable.
3. Recommended but not required: DOCTYPE declaration. Note that the
DTD specified by the DOCTYPE declaration is not responsible for
semantics.
4. Required: The minimal valid XHTML1 element tree:

Conclusion: Mozilla 1.6 does support innerHTML even in an
application/xhtml+xml document.

but Safari doesn't.

Your test page shows it reading the innerHTML property, but have
you tried writing it? Here's a simplified test page; FireFox 0.9.1
throws an exception using the innerHTML line...

Hmmmm.....
No, apparently you're right. You can't write to innerHTML in app/x+x
mode. However, my test page does remove the text from the h2.
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/innerhtmltest.xhtml
??? This is getting vaguer and vaguer. Either Mozilla should support
it, or not, but it shouldn't try to do both at once.

They are internally using ranges and the CreateContextualFragment
function for emulating the innerHTML setter. Have you tried either
using a Range and the [object Range].createContextualFragment
function or the global DOMParser function directly to see if they too
fail this way? If the former do but the latter don't, then we know
where the problem lies.

Hi Guys.
I currently have a drop down list being populated by values from an
access database.
When the user selects an option two javascript functions are used on the
onChange event handler.
One that retrievs the value and the other that submits the form.
function getListValue(list){
var listValue="";
if (list.selectedIndex != -1) {
listValue = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value;
listValue = removeSpaces(listValue);
}
return (listValue);
}
function removeSpaces(string) {
var tstring = "";
string = '' + string;
splitstring = string.split(" ");
for(i = 0; i < splitstring.length; i++)
tstring += splitstring[i];
return string;
}
My problem is that the value is being passed as a URL variable which
means I am using the QueryString to obtain the value. This is being
displayed in the URL address bar so I tried changing the form to post
but that causes the functions to not work altogether. Is there a way of
maybe having the function pass the value as a hiidne field so that I can
use the Request.Form to obtain the value?
Thanks for your time.

Message-ID:
Sorry Allard,
Here is the actual code.
I only added the remove space function because I wanted to retain a
space in one of my drop downs that reads " Hair Supplies" with the same
Value "Hair Supplies". Unfortunately because of the space it only
returns as "Hair" which does not match any values in my database. This
is my problem.
Here are the two functions along with the HTML code for the submit
button.
If I can return the value of the select box in a hidden field then I can
keep my space.
I know that a variable in a querystring cannot contain any spaces so I
think that is why it is just dropping the "Supplies" portion
function getFilter(listitem){
var object = "";
var listValue = getListValue(listitem);
document.formCategory.submit(listValue);
//alert(listValue);
}
function getListValue(list){
var listValue="";
if (list.selectedIndex != -1) {
listValue = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value;
listValue = removeSpaces(listValue);
}
return (listValue);
}
AND HTML FOR FORM (Being populated by database)

This code will post the value of the select

The replace is to clean up the spaces in the value.

the right frame is not.

I want the left frame to watch the right frame until it contains a form

The Right frame (I can't control its contents) will look like below.
When the left frame sees a text field labeled CO_USERNAME it will
trigger a page load.
Can this be done?

Morning Terry,
You'll have difficulties if the documents in the two frames are served
from different domains - you'll get "Access Denied" errors in javascript
when trying to access the right-hand frame.
I know that you haven't said that they are below, but when you said that
the right hand frame wasn't under your control, I thought that might
have been one of the possibilities.
Assuming that the two documents are from the same domain however, I
suppose you could use the setInterval () method of the left hand window
to call a function every so often which checks the right hand frame.
The function could use the getElementsByName method of the document in
the right hand window.
Something like:
// ------------
function fCheckFrame () {
oRightHandDocument = parent.idOfRightHandFrame.document;
aElements = oRightHandDocument.getElementsByName ('CO_USERNAME');
if (aElements.length > 0) {
document.forms[0].submit ();
}
}
window.setInterval (fCheckFrame, 100);
// -------------
You would need to know the ID and/or name of the right hand frame, but
you'll have control over that won't you? Also you'd need to customise
the reference to your form - I just used form[0] to reference the first
(only) form in the document in my test case. I've tested this in
IE6/Win and Firefox and both are OK.
Hope this helps a little. I'd be interested to see if anyones got a
better method of triggering the check of the right hand frame, as I
don't particularly like window.setInterval - it strikes me as (in this
instance) a little inelegant.
Ta ta,
Matt

Matt,
Thats pretty cool. The documents are running on the same domain, I just
have no control over the one. Your script works as fine, but I have a
small problem. Here is your script with my modifications.
Notice, I have it do an alert when the form element shows up. That is
working except the alert keeps popping up continually. Is there a way
to have it only alert once?

Another Question,
How do I assign the contents of the field to a variable. I tried
myvar=aElements.value
This placed undefined in myvar.

The return value of getElementsByName() is a collection of objects, so
you'll need to treat it a little differently. Even if there's only one
object in the collection, you still need to treat it like a collection.
If you can say with 100% certainty that it will only return one object
then you'd do this:
// ---------
myvar = aElements[0].value;
// ---------

Yeah - that will happen becuase the fCheckFrame function is being called
every 100 milliseconds by the window.setInterval() method.
To do the alert just once you could do this (this is the cheap hack method):
// ------
var bDoneAlert = false;
function fCheckFrame() {
oRightHandDocument = parent.dbconsole.panelwindow.document;
aElements = oRightHandDocument.getElementsByName ('CO_USERNAME');
if (aElements.length > 0) {
if (!bDoneAlert) {
alert('hello the form is there now.');
bDoneAlert = true;
}
}
}
window.setInterval (fCheckFrame, 100);
// ------
To do it properly, you use the window.clearInterval() method:
// ------
function fCheckFrame() {
oRightHandDocument = parent.dbconsole.panelwindow.document;
aElements = oRightHandDocument.getElementsByName ('CO_USERNAME');
if (aElements.length > 0) {
alert('hello the form is there now.');
window.clearInterval (myTimer);
}
}
var myTimer = window.setInterval (fCheckFrame, 100);
// ------
Advisory: I haven't tested either of the above, and syntax for the
clearInterval method is from memory as I'm at home not at work with my
books.
Hope that helps.

Hello all,
I am trying to print one frame from another in safari.
Most of the stuff I have found on the net doesn't seem to work in
Safari. Any ideas.
Here is what I have tried
PRINT
PRINT
I have also moved the second line to a function and that didn't work
either.
btw. It does print. It just prints the frame the link is on, not the
parent.chat frame as expected.
Thanks for any help,
Terry

Use new Date() method.
if
day = 19
month = 10
year = 2004
then you will have:
var mydate = new Date(year.parseInt(), month.parseInt() -1, day.parseInt());
if
day = 19
month = Oct
year = 2004
then concatenate them to a string such as
var date_string = month + day +", "+year;
then you will have:
var mydate = new Date(date_string);
You can then use mydate in date calculations.

Subject: [Javascript] MS Debugger
Message-ID: <000601c4b6c5$eb386250$0300000a@hershel2000>
I use Windows 2000 and I use Microsoft's Script Debugger a LOT. I find it to
be of great help for debugging my JS on MSIE 6. In actuality, all I use it
for is to show me the offending line of code (the standard message only says
what line but not what file) and I use the eval box to alert() values
sometimes. If anyone knows of a good place to see how to use other features,
I would be interested.
The reason I am writing, however, is that my debugger has suddenly become
broken. The icon comes up on my task bar, but no window appears. It seems to
be broken since Thursday when I updated my OS thusly:
Successful Thursday, October 14, 2004 Security Update for Windows 2000
(KB824151)

I did try to reinstall the debugger, but it's still not working. I am not

Any suggestions?

The MS debugger just is some wack shit as I've always expected from MS
te be... Most of the times it takes me to wrong line numbers and even
empty ones. Furthermore, it takes a lot of resources, is very slow and
causes my browser to not interpret HTML until I close the debugger. I
just can't do anything useful with it. At least not without frustrating
myself each and everytime. Also the switch between showing an icon in
the bottom corner and popping up the debugger is purely undeterministic.
It just changes every now and then without changing any configuration.
The good part. Develop your websites/applications according to the DOM
specifications. You are then able to use Mozilla/Firefox to display them
correctly and use the debugger that comes with those browsers. I use
'Venkman' debugger myself and that's a whole lot better then the one
that comes with MS. After debugging also check if IE renders everything
correctly and your done.
Hope this helps..
Cheers,
Kim

Hershell,
i too use the script debugger and never have had any problems.
I checked my updates but couldn?t find the numbers you quoted in my list.
A solution i imagine might work for you is uninstalling the patches one by
one (controlpanel/addremove programs) and checking
which one is blocking your script debugger.
About information on the debugger, it?s on your harddisk:

Subject: [Javascript] MS Debugger
I use Windows 2000 and I use Microsoft's Script Debugger a LOT. I find it to
be of great help for debugging my JS on MSIE 6. In actuality, all I use it
for is to show me the offending line of code (the standard message only says
what line but not what file) and I use the eval box to alert() values
sometimes. If anyone knows of a good place to see how to use other features,
I would be interested.
The reason I am writing, however, is that my debugger has suddenly become
broken. The icon comes up on my task bar, but no window appears. It seems to
be broken since Thursday when I updated my OS thusly:
Successful Thursday, October 14, 2004 Security Update for Windows 2000
(KB824151)

I did try to reinstall the debugger, but it's still not working. I am not
certain how to proceed.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Hershel

I found one that is related to IE and I removed it, but it didn't help.
Furthermore then I got an icon in my icon tray telling me to update Windows!
It's also a security thing so I don't really want to remove it.

There is no such option. What happens is I get the popup saying there is a
script error and do I wish to debug. If I say yes, the debugger appears to
open--I see the 'button' on my Task Bar, but there is no window that opens
whatsoever.
No other ideas, eh? I'm using Windows 2K.
Thanks.

New and bizarre data. :)
I generally just close the non-existent debugger by right clicking on the
Task Bar button and choosing Close. I now chose Maximize instead and lo and
behold, the window opened maximized and I can use it. If I choose Restore
(via the menu or the icon) then it disappears again. Entirely.
Quite odd behavior, but at least I can use it now. :)

Allard,
Thanks for the reply.
How should the function get the option description? (not just the selected option but the moused over option in the dropdown, although either would do really). I've added title attributes to the options, but don't know how to reference the option itself.

Good enough in IE, but Moz does the options too.

can't. By definition, SELECT is READONLY, since a user can't modify its
contents.

Right. By definition, DISABLED is not sent via FORM SUBMIT.
When I need to make a SELECT 'readonly' (as you say), I do it via JS and
then insert the value I want into a hidden INPUT with the same name.
When the SELECT is not 'readonly', then the HIDDEN is DISABLED so its
value (or lack there of) is not sent to the server.
Does that help?

If the intent is to prevent a user from changing the value in the select box, then:
1. Why use an interactive select box to display static text?
2. It's somewhat user-abusive, but you could trap onFocus and refocus another field
(disable the ability to even select the control)

Also -- and this may not apply to you -- if you're developing in
ASP.NET, EasyListBox can be set to disabled and still submit its value.
