Where is the data behind the page?

Hi all,

I'm trying to parse a web page that shows dinamically some data (is a web game page) that is not contained in the code behind the page (the one that I access using the Chrome developers tools, for example).
I see that I can show this data even detaching my pc from the network, simply selecting an item in the combobox, but the content appears in the page source only when the selected combobox item is changed.
Anyone can suggest me where I can find the hidden data or source code?

Thank you

Leo

If you are viewing the page with Chrome you can right-click on the item and select Inspect element to see how the item is presented.

I know this. What I'm looking for is the data that is in the memory of the browser, downloaded from the web server, but presented when the javascript inside the web page decide to show it.
This kind of data is not visible simply using "Inspect element".

As far as I am aware, you can examine elements of the HTML DOM tree but I do not know of any method to access the browser's memory.

In Chrome you can view the values of javascript objects.

After you 'Inspect Element' to load up the Source, look for the javascript objects in the code behind files and then in the Chrome console if you type the object name it will tell you the value. Remember to look at the Scripts tab and you can change between all the referenced javascript source files to inspect them.

If you come across any files that have been minified, you can click the {} (Pretty Print as google call it) button at the bottom and it will make the source more readable.

You can also change the value and also run any JS functions, JQuery against the DOM and all sorts. You can also change attributes and values of the CSS if you are doing testing etc.

Good Day All

in my page i have a hyperlink button in a gridview defined like this

JavaScript

<a href="#" onclick="<%#  String.Format("return showComment('{0}','{1}')", Replace(Eval("Field1").ToString(),Chr(13),"<BR>"), Replace(Eval("Field2").ToString(),Chr(13),"<BR>") ) %>">

                      <img src="../../Imgs/comment2.png" />
                      </a>

and the Function showComment is defined like this

JavaScript

function showComment(CommentPend,CommentCancel)
{
    $("#btnclose").unbind();
    $("#divPendComment").center();
    $("#divPendComment").fadeIn('slow');

    $("#txtcomment").val(CommentPend.toString().replace(/^[a-z0-9 ]$/i, ''));

    $("#txtcommentCancel").val(CommentCancel.toString().replace(/^[a-z0-9 ]$/i, ''));

    $("#btnclose").click(function (e)
     {

         $("#divPendComment").fadeOut('slow');
         e.preventDefault();

    });
    return false;
}

I am not 100% sure what you are trying to achieve, but replace(/^[a-z0-9 ]$/i, '') is probably not what you intended: It says "If the whole field consists of a single letter, digit or space then set it to an empty string; if it is not just a single letter, digit or space, keep the whole lot as seen". My guess is that you want all non-letter/digit/space chars to be blanked out. Try replace(/[^a-z0-9 ]/ig, '').

How to select all the text in a Textbox in JQuery

Vimalsoft(Pty) Ltd19-Oct-11 2:11

Good Day All

i have a Jquery code defined like this

JavaScript

// Let's add it to textarea this time
 $(".cnt").focus(function()
 {
     // Check for the change
     if(this.value == this.defaultValue){
         this.select();
     }
 });

and i am creating a textbox on fly and after creating it i bind data to it and after that i want to attach a focus event if there a value "0" on it

If cnt.Text = "0" Then
          cnt.CssClass = "cnt"
      End If

but still when i select a textbox that has "0" it does not select the whole content of the textbox. i went through a breakpoint and it goes through this line

cnt.CssClass = "cnt"

Thanks

First check if the HTML DOM element that corresponds to the textbox has its class attribute set to "cnt". You can do this with FF FireBug for instance or IE Developer Tools. Then change your javascript code like below to see if this.select() would ever be hit at all:

JavaScript

if(this.value == this.defaultValue){
    alert("Before this.select();"); // If you wont see this alert this.value does not equal this.defaultValue
                                    // Could it be that you wanted to check for unequal i.e. != ?
    this.select();
}

it sounds like what you are trying to do is change the class of the control and then expect events to be fired for any control that is bound to that class.

what you are running into is a late binding issue with jQuery. when you bound the focus event jQuery only did it for the controls that had that class at the time of the binding.

three approaches:

1 - bind the focus event for that class each time you add or remove it. personally not the best approach (IMO).

2 - bind the focus event to the control type and then in the focus event test to see if the control has that CSS class associated with it.

3 - use .live[^] which is supposed to work around the late binding issue. I personally have not had a chance to use it but it was designed to handle this very thing.

best of luck

     }
     );

Is it possible to change the size of entire website??

I am trying to do this to support users display resolution by changing size of my web page.

for e.g if resolution is 1280X1024, then width=100% and height =100%. This setting as it was made for this resolution.

if resolution is 1024X768, then width=90% and height=100%;

and other settings.
Is it possible to do it using javascript or any other language???
If yes then please post the code

Thank you for your help Smile | :)

Yes, you can change the dimensions of an HTML element using JavaScript. It would go something like this:

JavaScript

document.getElementById("someDiv").style.width = "700px";

Here is an example of how I have done it with an image: http://aspdotnetdev.com/DevPortfolio/FullscreenImage.aspx?ImageID=10

That's a little different than setting the size of a DIV, for example, because I used the width/height property on the image rather than the width/height property on the style of the image. Still, that should give you a good idea of how to resize webpage elements when the window size changes.

Now, if you are talking about changing the size of each element on a page, that would be much tricker. For that, just rely on the user to adjust their zoom level when viewing webpages.
