Hi guys. For a website I am doing, I need to show images in a fullscreen window ( yeah, I know... )

So, I do this:

window.open(href, windowname, 'scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,type=fullWindow,fullscreen');

This works perfectly when running off my local machine. When I run off the server, the window goes the size of the full screen, but doesn't go 'fullscreen'. I'm guessing some IE7 setting is stopping it ? Is there anything I can do ? It's also ignoring my requests for no status bar, and there's some bar at the top with the image name in it.

Starting with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2, there seems to be a new behavior regarding the Full Screen (Kiosk Mode):

Using the window.open method with fullscreen=yes results in a maximized window, not a kiosk mode window.

Yeah, apparently some people got sick of sites spoofing parts of the Windows UI and blocking out others in order to push their nefarious wares. No sense of adventure, those folk.

Anyway, i suppose you could add a bit of text - "push F11 for full-screen". Or use Java...

Yeah, that's what I figured. The whole idea what that when people look at a full size screenshot, they have no options apart from pressing my 'close' link to go back. I guess now I need to work out if the window has been minimised and show it again, etc, as well as redoing all my screenshots in a lower size to take the extra space the window is using into account.

I did get why they probably did it, but what a PITA that I can build something locally, and then have the behaviour change when I move it online.

AFAIK, it's 'cause the sites are in different zones. Local / Intranet and Trusted Sites all default to allowing full-screen, chrome-free windows, while sites in the big scary 'Net don't. I suppose you could cajole your users into adding your site to their Trusted Sites category...

They could also be given instructions on how to edit the registry so it works.

this just totally sucks - I added code to set the window size instead, and I got a 200x200 window, apparently if it's not fullscreen, I'm not allowed to go higher than that. Or somesuch drivel.

I have it working now, but only by turning some display stuff off in Firefox.

Controls does not move

I am very new to ASP.Net.
I was trying to put some controls on the screen but i m unable to move it using mouse. By key board(using space bar) it moves.
What might be the reason?

Christian Graus29-Nov-07 18:36

29-Nov-07 18:36

How are you trying to move controls ? Do you mean in the design view ?

ASP.NET, and indeed, HTML is based on a top down document model. You don't position controls the way you would in a winforms app, you simply lay them out top to bottom, although you can use CSS To position controls absolutely, it should not be the rule that you define a bunch of controls and then position them all absolutely in that manner.

if you're using the design view, forget it. Your best bet is to run the web app, play with the script and keep refreshing the page. The auto generated HTML really sucks.

Yes, that's the only way I've ever learned anything, and I'd say it's the best.

Removing a Node w/Javascript

I want to remove a TABLE node by using the following javascript.

e = document.getElementById( "tableId" );

document.body.removeChild( e );

However, it doesn't remove the node. It says "Invalid argument" in the second line of code.

Can someone point out why it won't let me do that?

Shog⁹29-Nov-07 17:10

29-Nov-07 17:10

It might not be a child of the body...?
Generally, i'd write e.parentNode.removeChild(e) to detach the element e from its parent, unless i was absolutely certain that the node i was removing was a direct child of the body. Heck, i'd probably do it then too, just 'cause it's obvious what i'm doing. Also, it reminds me of that cartoon where the hapless character saws off the branch he's sitting on...

You're right, it's actually a direct child of a DIV tag.

But the DIV element doesn't support removeChild(), so how would I remove the table tag?

Yes, if you're only auditing actions on the database, triggers make a lot of sense

[discussion] JS 1.7 and 1.8 in Firefox3

I downloaded the firefox 3 installer ( firefox-3.0b2pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe) from this link. (It shows as Minefield that I have no idea. maybe codename)

And I'm trying to do some javascript stuffs with FF3. and I come out a few questions...

1. Generators

function fib() {<br />
  var i = 0, j = 1;<br />
  while (true) {<br />
    yield i;<br />
    var t = i;<br />
    i = j;<br />
    j += t;<br />
  }<br />
}<br />
<br />
var g = fib();<br />
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {<br />
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");<br />
}<br />

it seems interesting. It helps us to write the shorter code.. but I don't understand why we need to do this.. I have googled about this and I can't think of any useful scenario where this code fits in.

Does anyone know the case where we can't live without this feature??

2. Iterator

This one is awesome.. vote 5. Smile | :)

3. Array comprehensions

var evens = [i for (i in range(0, 21)) if (i % 2 == 0)];

No. It doesn't work.. Has anyone tried this thing with Firefox 3? Actually, what the doc said is that it should work in both Firefox2 and Firefox3.

4.let

This one is also another awesome thing.. The example below (from Mozilla doc) shows the power and usefulness of "let" keyword

var list = document.getElementById("list");<br />
for (var i = 1; i <= 5; i++)<br />
{<br />
  var item = document.createElement("LI");<br />
  item.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Item " + i));<br />
  let j = i;<br />
  item.onclick = function (ev) {<br />
    alert("Item " + j + " is clicked.");<br />
  };<br />
  list.appendChild(item);<br />
}<br />

5. Destructuring assignment

<br />
var a = 1;<br />
var b = 3;<br />
<br />
[a, b] = [b, a];<br />

This is also useful. But it doesn't work with Firefox2 (the doc said that it should work. ) anyway, it works fine with Firefox3.

6. Expression closures

function(x) x * x

I have no idea about how to use this in my project.. Can anyone give me the example about how to use this closures and why we need this?? Thanks.

I haven't tried with expression generator, array reduce and etc.. I'm not so sure why "Array comprehensions" doesn't work in FF3. and also, I would like to get the explanation about Generators and Expression closures with examples.

Thanks in advance..

P.S: I should have posted this post in lounge. :P (just kidding)

Thanks and Regards,
