Re: how to open indesign, pdf, framemaker files using java script

Javascript can't spawn processes and it's a part of the browser security model; you can't do anything about it. Maybe VBScript might have something in store for you, but then again, your application won't work for non-windows users. Your best bet would be to set the appropriate mime type (content type) of the response and hope for the best.

Re: image rollover

According to the HTML 4.01 specification:

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").

Plus NAME attribute is deprecated for *non-form* elements; use ID instead. And a better way to access images would be document.images["imageId"]. Also, are you preloading the images?

Re: how to open indesign, pdf, framemaker files using java script

What do you mean by 'open PDF' files using Javascript? You need the appropriate softwares for opening the respective files e.g. Acrobat reader for PDF files. The maximum you can do is make the browser open up a prompt box which would give you the option of either saving the file to your local system or opening it with a program of your choice and this can be done using plain HTML; no javascript required. Browser embedded Javascript is as such not capable of *reading* files.

Re: onClick question

> Ok so here is the code I am using and all I am getting is a blank page.

A few things:

- window.location is a host object (browser object); what you probably need to do here is window.location.href = 'url' . Even though the former works, it's an incorrect way of specifying the URI.

- Specifying window.location = 'www.google.com' will make the browser search for a file named 'www.google.com' in the location where you page is located. What you need is window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com/';

Look closely at the code you have written. The tag <jsp:param> doesn't have a body and hence should be written as one. Leaving them open is what is causing the problems here. It should be: (notice the slashes at the end of the param tag)

<jsp:params>
<jsp:param name="textcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<jsp:param name="text" value="page name" />
<jsp:param name="color" value="#808000" />

As far as your problem is concerned, you still haven't shown an indication of integrating the changes suggested in my previous post. Plus I see a hanging 'e' in your catch block which is probably the cause of your problem. This is a pretty basic thing which should have been easy to pick up; maybe you need to go back to the basics of Java programming and dive into J2EE once you are confident of tackling the Java related issues.

This happens almost always due to Javascript errors and the Javascript on that page looks all messed up. Remember that IE is more forgiving and will automatically make up for your mistakes; Firefox won't. Your best bet would be to get your generated HTML validated, look for any glaring markup errors and if it still doesn't work, look at the 'Error Console' of Firefox to see if it really is your Javascript which is blowing up.

You can try using Closures which are inner functions which can be executed even outside the context of it's enclosing function. Something like:

// Here 'id' is the ID of the element passed to the showDetails function
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function(myId) {
  return function() {

Re: Delay placing links

Initially attach a styleclass to all the links on your page which will keep them hidden using the display / visibility CSS property.

Attach an event handler to the onload event listener which would make these links visible only after the entire page has loaded, by virtue of the onload handler not being fired till the entire page is loaded, and hence your animations, unless you are employing lazy loading.

Re: Finding whitespaces

The snippet as such doesn't seem to reek of any bugs so your best bet would be to look at the place where usrPass actually originates. Maybe it's the way you are accepting user input which is causing it to trim whitespaces.

One minor point; instead of passCh == ' ' , consider using Character.isWhitespace(passCh) since a space is not the only whitespace out there unless you are only checking for spaces.

Re: How to fill the content with Ajax AFTER page fully loaded

> When I use ajax request, the content renders alright too but didn't show up on the page
> source

This is because the data is fetched asynchronously only after the response is committed to the client. So what you see is the original response rendered by the server; it won't show you the data dynamically fetched using Ajax. Instead of bringing in the entire DIV using an Ajax request, place an empty DIV with an ID of 'news-xxx' on your page and fetch it's contents using Ajax.

As far as viewing the current state of DOM is considered, a Firefox extension DOM Inspector might be of some help.

This question doesn't make sense. The client always gets to see HTML; PHP / Servlets / ROR etc. are just server side constructs which add dynamic nature to the pages being presented to the client. If your pages don't have any dynamic content, go with HTML otherwise with any server side language of your choice.

It would be much more reasonable to just grab hold of the DIV element and then get all the INPUT elements or directly get all the INPUT elements instead of adopting the round about way of grabbing hold of LI's.

You are doing a getElementById() for "I1" but there is no element which goes by the ID "I1"; you only have an IFRAME with a name attribute of "I1". IE is infamous for allowing such things to slip by. If a call to getElementById() returns null , it looks for an element with the same name and if found; uses that.
