I am pretty sure it iwill

Many things glitch in Opera

i've tried to implement simple benchmarking on this http://dev.byron-adams.com/jquery/plugin/appendDom/ by subtracting the start time ( new Date().getTime() ) from the end time but im not sure if i did it right, do those numbers
at the top represent ms?

thanks for the compliment on my little site

no problem

I'm just learning JS

all that, is it fetched from your comp or ?

I upload my music
it's only like ~20 gigs

jesus, all that is on the web?

you can stream it, too, which is cool
rsync ftw

I am trying to run some ajax with jquery that is simple calling an HTML file that also has some Javascript in it. in Firefox the JS gets executed but in Safari only the HTML is rendered. how can I get Safari to execute the javascript within the page I am calling? The JS contained in the script
works fine in FF but $.get("includes/shc/p2.php", function(data){$("#p2Div").html(data);}); doesn't work in Safari, the JS that is. any idea

folks…. are relative path names that i use in JS relative to my SERVER or relative to my js file? (in this case, i insert a js file that is not local to my server)

hey, can some one clear something up for me. what exactly is going on here… var onpostload = { _that: null, handleEvent: function(event){ this._that.onPosLoad();} onpostload._that = this;
i think relative to the js file

are u sure?

actually.. hrmm
frig can't remember, i fiddle with this before
anyone have any ideas about the code i just dropped?

that code is missing a brakcet
var onpostload = { _that: null, handleEvent: function(event) { this._that.onPosLoad();} } onpostload._that = this;
the idea is that you want to save your |this| context. when onpostload.handleEvent() is called, |this| points to onpostload, but this._that points to the object you were originally in

oh ok

how do I see the function definition from JS shell ? for example.. the definition of Array() function

thank you

Is the output of Array.from the definition of Array function ?

eh?

opena JS shell and type Array.from enter

nothing
What are *you* expecting?

it prints something…

what is the right way to set up a whole list, and each should do something when clicked?
onclick="" on each, or a listener?

i'm in an iframe, how do i reload the parent window?

I think that will kill your iframe

don't care about the iframe
actually
window.parent.reload()

but… I guess you just use a reference to the parent window
yeah that sounds about right

hi, I want detect the duration it took a user to press a mouse button on a link. basically, the time between mousedown and mouseup. how can I do that? by the time I calculate the duration, the link will have been clicked and the browser will leave the current page.

a href

onClick="yoursillycalculations(); document.location=porno.html;"

ahhh good idea
wait, but still how do I get that duration data on my server?

"document.location='porno.html?dur='+reactionTime();"
i dunno of that works
if*

make an AJAX call to your server before sending them?

k, I'll try deebo's method and if that doesn't work, I'll look into ajax

no, deebo's will work if you can record the link time on the next page
I thought you were sending them off your site

they are being sent to another page on my website
for example, mysite.com/page1.html will have a button. they click on the button and I want to know the duration of that click. they will be redirected to mysite.com/page2.html

sure
on page 2 record the referrer and the duration from the query string

ah, nice
any way to do this transparently? using POST maybe?
it's not a huge deal I guess
that timing might be tricky though - so I have to record the value of the mousedown, then record the value of the mouseup, then do the calculation in reactionTime() hoping that the value are recorded by the time it's called

just make a hidden field and input type=button onclick="document.myform.myhiddenfield.value=reactiontime();document.myform.submit();"/
then read myhiddenfield from the request

no, you're doing the link yourself
so you control when we move to page 2
but transparency is an issue
you could ajax, or put in a form and POST

I see
thanks guys

if I'm making a list from a AJAX database call, should I build up some html hosting and then use innerHTML or make DOM elements and keep appending them with appendChild?
which is better practice?

DOM
`innerhtml sucks @ trhaynes

innerhtml sucks: If you have events on elements that are rendered via innerHTML they do not go away when you empty the innerHTML area. They may even crash your browser. You cannot use innerHTML for building items like tables in IE. You cannot use innerHTML for adding options to selects
in

elements in innerHTML are not executed.

oh wow
glad I asked
so if I'm making a table, I have to make the taboe
and then put a thead in
and then put a tr in
and then tds in that

yes

etc. ? seems tedious
and add attributes to each along the way?

`html2dom // save yourself some time

Woosta's (x)html to DOM convertor .. convert xhtml chunks to DOM scripting: http://rick.measham.id.au/paste/html2dom.htm

yes
if you already have the HTML worked out, paste it in the top left and click convert

oh nice
thankss
is something.id better than something.setAttribute('id', .. )

IMO yes

anyone know if it's possible to get browsers today to do a filtered resize of an image?

(1) you *have* to do it for className
(2) you save a pile of chars
they'll either do it all the time or not at all. You have no control

browsers just interpolate, not filtering

thing is
the new zoom feature in IE7 uses a fully filtered resize
but

just make your own lanczos resize javascript!

heh

Hi, how can i get the page height, document.body.clientHeight gives me unscrolled height.

but anyway even IE7 although it has code for filtered resizing, doesn't do it, unless you're telling it to 'zoom'

could anyone tell me by some miracle why my mouseover stopped working on http://www.forgemodels.com/model_browse.php warning not work safe some of those overs… if they worked

you have to do it for class name?

yes
IE is stupid
`className
jsbot find classname

js ref classname, js syntax classname

bah, not in the bot

oh, IE doesn't like setAttribute('class
'?

correct
it expects setAttribute('className', ..)
But that doesn't work anywhere else

of course not

so foo.className is the only cross-browser thing that works

because className is not an attribute
ok, thanks

exactly

so what if I want to make a paragraph, add some text to it, and then add it to the dom?

use the tool

var p = document.createElement("p"); ??? mydiv.appendChild(p);

var p = document.createElement('p'); p.appendChild(document.createTextNode('text')); yourDiv.appendChild('p');

ah, textnode
how very obfuscated

hey, I have some code that's sensitive to resize and load events…in IE, a load event generates a resize event as well, is there anyway to prevent this?

how can i get the page scroll value?

what about getting things with innerHTML?
is that kosher?

don't worry, found the answer ( document.body.scrollTop)

how would i fix the quotes so that the src="" quotes dont interfere with the onclick quotes?… a href="#" onclick="$('large').update('img src="test.jpg" /');"test/a

yeah, I treat innerHTML as read-only
or write-for-non-markup-content

bold"

rather than creating a textnode, an I element, with a text node, then another text node

hi all. how to debug some javascript hosting code?

`firebug

Debug your Javascript in Firefox using Firebug: http://www.getfirebug.com/ .. Or use Firebug Lite for debugging in non-firefox browsers: http://www.getfirebug.com/lite.html

thanx

any ideas on how to fix the quote issue i have above?
preceding the img src="" quotes with backslashes doesnt work

http://phpfi.com/255201

The paste 255201 has been copied to http://erxz.com/pb/3962

jsBot, thanx for firebug again. all my problems disappeared

`bot @ iobit

bot: Hey! I'm a bot! I appreciate the sentiment, but you might want to thank whoever told me to tell you that!

Woosta, tnx

hmm, any easy way to check if a text areas content has changed from the original?
to like bring the users attention to the save button

if(yourTE.value != yourTE.defaultValue){…}
(Which may not be cross browser)
I can't remember

How can i have contents of some div tag hidden?

set its class to hidden
TE has a defaultValue?
ie. the one it was inited with

all form elements do (at least in FF .. as I said, no idea if it's cross browser .. but the defaultValue gets used when you reset() a form)

ah
hmmmm
have to look into that

moin

can anyone tell me why i get the flickering on the mouse over?
http://www.forgemodels.com/model_browse.php like go left to right, each letter of the name causes a flicker
www.thenextbyte.com/videos you can see what i am talking about if you cant get it to do it with your own browsers

hmm why wont a basic textarea format text with CRLF row changes?

what is the best way to work out what IE means when it says there is a javascript error on line 64? of which file?

Did MS change the designmode engine in IE7? Now it adds a generator tag that is strikingly similar to the one MS Word adds. And it behaves differently with styles

hmm anyone knwo a website that has test data in weird languages and character sets?
like chinese/japanese characters etc
lorem ipsum for businesslogic

Just do a search for Unicode test page.

utf test page, yes
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html

unicode OR utf-8 test
That ought to do it.

ah that'll do, thanks

learn utf8 test = http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html

You're not a talkin' t' me though huh?

How to delete element definitely? I know i can use removeChild() but the element probably still exists in RAM after deletion.

If there are no pointers to it, it will get garbage collected
