The window.event object only exists in Internet Explorer (and perhaps some that tries to emulate it), so this won't work in most browsers. Other brosers send the event objec along as a parameter to the function.

Do you get any error message? Have you enabled Javascript error messages in the browser?

You can use the ClientID property of a control to get the id to use for client script.

The IE part is fine, this is an internal application and all the computers here run IE. Obviously I would like to make it cross platform if it doesn't take too long, you know deadlines. Is there any easier way to make pressing enter click a button?

By default, the enter key will activate the first submit button in the form.

Disable Right Click, Problem Javascript Code

I use the Microsoft IE Developer toolbar. It allows you to select an element and view all it's attributes etc, including ids. It's also got some useful tools, such as a ruler, and a table entity highlighter.

I'd suggest not using the new beta one - there's nothing wrong with it per-se, but it crashes sometimes on my machine, and never stays in the toolbar - have to re-enable it ever time I need it. Unfortunately, I could only find links to the new one. If you can't find it, email me and I'll send you the installer for the old stable one

Firefox also has a (much better) version of the same kinda deal....

Hi All,

I have to disable right of the Browser.I got the script on net and use that but when I include it in .js file my application doesnot work it shows login screen where right click is disable but when I click login but it doesnt go inside the main page.

Can anyone tell me what is the problem in the script.
Following is the script:

var message="Function Disabled!";
function clickIE4()
{
if (event.button==2)
{
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
function clickNS4(e)
{
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all)
{
if (e.which==2||e.which==3)
{
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers)
{
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById)
{
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false;")
Thanks in advance.

DHTML and DropDownLists

I am having a problem in some javascript. I am trying to avoid using a postback to a server to update a dropdownlist box on the client machine. I have already managed to get a new list of items and have them parsing fine on the client machine. The problem though is I cannot find anything on how to delete the current contents and build a new list inside. So here are the two questions:

First what call from javascript would clear the current contents? (I have the control).

Second, do I create new "option" objects assign them the new values and add them to the controls through obj.options.add() or something else?

And finally, does there need to be some sort of refresh to the control to view when it opens next.

Final note: this needs to work with both IE 6+ and Firefox (latest version).

Thanks,

Leo T. Smith

Set the controls innerHtml to "", that will delete everything inside it.

That seems reasonable, yes.

I don't believe so

I think all the functionality you're talking about has been around for some time.

It does not seem to work. Here is the code. What am I missing. It doesn't clear the list (I tried commenting out the loop that adds to the list) and doesn't add anything to the list either. By the way, this is the last step in the calling function.

function RefreshComboList(sList,sElement, iID)
{
var cbList = document.getElementById(sElement);

// Test to make sure that cbList is the desired control and refresh values
// are correct
alert("Selected ID - " + cbList.options[cbList.selectedIndex].value +
"\n\n" + sList);

cbList.innerHtml=""; // Clear list
var rows = sList.split("||"); // split list into rows

// Loop through rows to load combobox
// Last result is empty
for(var i=0; i< rows.length - 1; i++)
{
var cols = rows[i].split("|"); // split into columns
var opt = document.createElement("option"); // Create new list item
opt.value = cols[1]; // Set value for list item
opt.innerText = cols[0]; // Set the view text for list item
cbList.appendChild(opt); // Add list item to DropDownList
}
}

Thanks,

Leo T. Smith

Here's something ripped from our app - seems to work fine... Smile | :)

var theDdl = $('ddlName);
      var options = theDdl.options;

      for (var i=theDdl.length; i>-1; i--)
      {
          //theDdl.remove (i);
          theDdl.options[i] = null;
      }

      //Now add the new items
      for (i=0; i< theList.length; i++)
      {
          var opt = new Option();
          opt.value = theList.someValue;
          opt.text = theList.someText;
          try
          {
              theDdl.add(opt,null); // standards compliant apparently
          }
          catch(ex)
          {
              theDdl.add(opt); // IE only
          }


      }

I want to use an activex control in a html page on my computer, not for the web, but it won't load the activex control unless I make the file an .HTA file. Dam it its my computer and i want it to run in as .HTML !(for other reasons)
What security settings must i change to allow it to run under .HTML...clicking allow activex control warning in ie does not make a difference......change registry settings for thumbCtl? safe for scripting? how please???

Apache serving files with query strings in their name

Paul Watson18-Jan-07 12:23

Re: Apache serving files with query strings in their name

18-Jan-07 12:23

Right, so I have a file in a directory that is being served by a vhost that has a query string in its filename, e.g. root/dir1/dir2/myfile.html?query=1&string=2.

When I try the URL, including the query string, Apache is trying to find the file minus the query string (obviously to then send the query string into whatever can handle it inside the file.) So Apache is looking for root/dir1/dir2/myfile.html which doesn't exist.

How do I tell Apache to be stupid and to ignore query strings?

I may be wrong but the processing of a querying string is basic behavior for any web server. You can turn off GET processing for a particular web application scope via the web server's configuration. Unfortunately, I know how to do this with IIS but not with Apache.

Thanks George. In this setup I really just want Apache to serve files even if they have ? in the filename. It is for a spidered/saved website on disk.

We have a demo coming up and need to wget a couple of websites onto a laptop. Apache is serving up the static files but doesn't like finding files with querystrings in the filename.
