I think jQuery has options to do this. Or you can look up "the dHTML framework".

Thanks for your reply!

The problem is I do not want to use a framework because I wont learn how to do it in detail and do not want to reuse code that i havent coded myself.

I understand that this can be acheived using javascript but just need a few pointers of how!

Thanks again!

If you dont want to use other's code then my suggestion to you is to just keep coding. Personally I don't think you need to reinvent the wheel & using a framework would aid you greatly in solving this issue.

As you do not want to use a framework, I suggest you look up the following:

- checking when the mouse is clicked
-checking when an object (i.e div or hr between divs) is clicked and
- getting how far a mouse moves accross or up/down the screen while mouse is cliked
- modifying an object when it is clicked using something like :
document.getElementById('idofyourobject').style.height
(look up modifying css styles with javascript)

Put it all together and presto.

yes ofcourse we can create our own add ons for firefox 2 or 3. For that we need to use XUL language.XUL is used to create Firefox addons.

how to access parameter in query string

For a school project I need have a href attribute in an tag access another page. In the called page I need to acccess the parameter passed in. The parameter is the name of an MP3 file that I want to have automatically start playing via an embeded player object like windows media player. I know how to form the href tag and how to have a file play in an embedded player. I do not know how to access the file name via java script. I assume that once I get the file name I need to set it to a global java script variable and then access the varible via a java script function call to be made on the source attribute of the embedded object.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have googled but not with sucess. I can not use any server side programming because the project does not allow for it.

Thanks so much for your help,

Patrick

This kind of thing is much easier with server side programming. But otherwise, I would use javascript to store the info as a cookie (NOTE: NOT secure). Otherwise, you could still use a query string on the link (i.e. "yourpage.html?somekey=somevalue") and use javascript to break apart the url and get the filename on the player page.

THe above is used to validate a form and then submit the filled out form to a table in mysql. The form is not validated before the contents is submitted to the table.

How can I amend the above or my code so that the form is validated first to check for errors then submitted?

Get thumbnail without uploading image

26-Mar-09 5:09

<form name="form1" onsubmit="formValidator(); return false;" action="comments.php" method="post">

Then at the end of your formVaildator script when all validation has passed

document.forms('form1').submit();

Where the form validator script fails it should:

return false;

Hello all and thank you for taking the time to read this.

What I am in need of is the code to:
Get thumbnail without uploading the picture. I already have browse, pick image, click upload, after upload I create thumbnail and other multi-size images, it all works perfect, and Of course people hate having to upload 1 pick at a time.
Therefore I would like to have the client (browse, pic image, click add to upload list) (system copies thumbnail and file location from the file they picked) then choose another file and another etc…for up to 50 files. I will display the thumbnails in a datalist as they pick them. Then when done choosing files they want to upload. They just click upload.
So with this in mind all it is, is multi-file upload with thumbnail view prior to uploading the files. Just like they do on Snapfish. I know with Snapfish they have the client download the multi-file tool. I do not with to have people do that. Any pointers will be grateful.

Thanks

Rick

swf upload allows you to upload multiple files but it's based on flash/javascript. Your preview would be the "pick files to upload box"

Otherwise I'd google "multiple file upload [your programming language]"

Thumbnail generation can be performed server side using any one of the gazillion scripts found on google.

Thank you for the pointer, very nice, I checked it out a little and see its something the client has to have on there side. Which i do not go along with.

I already have an upload and thumbnail process that works perfect. The client picks there file, clicks upload and once the upload is done, I process it and make 3 files. (Thumbnail, a 400x400 and a 700x700) picture. A print process for them so they can print the picture on there printer.

What I am just looking for is to make it so I just take the THUMBNAIL from the client .jpg or /gif when they pick file to upload without Uploading the file. They will have to click browse and pick each file one at a time which will be added to a sql DB with the thumbnail being saved on the HD so I can DL them one at a time and show them the thumbnail prior to the DL and while the DL is taking place.
Using the SQL DB makes it so if they loose connection. The next time they login, they are prompted to upload the rest of the pictures and all they have to do it click finish upload.
I will not put anything on the client side that they have to DL and use. With all of today’s virus and malware junk around, I do not have the client DL anything at all, this protects them 100%.

For anyone that does respond with more info. Please do not recommend any software package to use.

Thanks

So you want to get the file onto your server without putting it on your server....? D'Oh! | :doh:

swf upload does require flash. Flash is pretty safe - I'll vouch for it. I know a few people who have it installed..... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

If you dont want the users to download anything, I suggest you let them use their operating systems ability to preview images.

Hi,

Obviously, you will get that error as onload method on form, the compiler is looking for method either somewhere in code behind

Just follow the following code :

I'm reading up on the ajax documentaiton and had a question on partial page updates...

1) So do partial page updates only target controls that reside within an Update Panel?

2) Even if a partial page update occurs, isn't a postback really truely occurring behind the scenes? Your browser doesn't appear to do a full postback and blink, but I'm guessing it is still doing a postback.

Thanks

That's the point and beauty of Ajax is that it is behind the scenes. To view the 'response' from the server when an Ajax is being used use a Firefox add-on called Firebug. Example Screenshot.[^]
