It is trying to form a selector such as

"#myElementContent .myElementImage"

Honestly, if you can't interrupt this you are going to have a great deal of difficulty in this career.

This is a beginners task and one should know how to interpret it. It is well documented.

As somebody who just started playing with jQuery as a way to solve a particular cross-domain scripting problem, I think well documented might be pushing it. It's documented.

Mark got it almost right except that there is a space after content.
"#myElementContent .myElementImage"

This selector will select all elements that have their id attribute set to myElementContent and have an entry of myElementImage in their class attribute. This will be so if element[0].id == "myElement".

You might also find this an interesting read: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/[^].

Cheers!

Get full path for file from Firefox

Re: Get full path for file from Firefox

5-Aug-11 4:49

I have a control like this:

HTML

<input type="file" value="Open File" id="openfile"/>

and I need the full path for the selected file. In IE, I can get this, but in Firefox it returns only the filename part. Is there a way to get the full path?

I know somebody gonna say I don't need it to upload a file, but I'm not uploading a file to a remote server and I really do need the local path. My page is passing the local path to a locally running self-hosted WCF server that then passes the path to another application with will actually load the file. Without the full path, the application will treat the path as relative to whatever its current directory is, which obviously fails most of the time.

Thanks for the reply, but I think that is trying to do the opposite of what I'm trying to do. Your links are looking to remove the path from IE so that you have only the filename. I want to do the opposite, get the path in Firefox.

Hi everybody,
I develop a website with c# langage and Javascrip. It is opened with IE navigator well but in FireFox, most pages are not opened. How can I make my JS code compatible with Firefox navigator?

Some of the stuff that interacts with the DOM, window, document and events are handled differently from browser to browser. You could build browser switches into your code to handle each situation differently for each browser you intend to support. You could just as well resort to a crossbrowser compatible javascript framework like jQuery[^] for instance which is my favorite.

On the following site you can find a list of the more or less well known Javascript Crossbrowser Frameworks/Libraries[^].

Hi Manfred,
I work with the EXT JS Framework, but some instructions differ from browser to browser.So if i develop a version of my application for each browser, that will be sooooo expensive in the two sides time and code.

Hi Pierre,

what instructions are you talking about? Surely it must be something you're doing in plain javascript and not the ExtJS framework. Please give and example and try to explain what difficulties you are experiencing in regard to browser dependant coding.

À bientôt !

Manfred R. Bihy is 100% correct and your issue is one of the reasons why these frameworks are so popular, they handle the browser specific behaviours so we can focus on coding the application/webpage.

Repetitive similar Inputs javascript

I've made a <form> with an <input> for a new category. Once the category is entered I need to enter an unknown number of sub-items.
Can anyone help me with a javascript that enables me to click a [+] button that generates a new (html) input line like this: [+] Next item : <input name="sub-item" value="sub_item[]" />.
The onClick [+] button should at least have one parameter that enables me to change the input type into e.g. select

Problem connecting to WCF Rest service

Wjousts3-Aug-11 10:05

Re: Problem connecting to WCF Rest service

3-Aug-11 10:05

I have a desktop app that acts as a server and I'm trying to figure out how to correct connect to it from a webpage using JavaScript.

For example, I have this:

JavaScript

var url = 'http://localhost:8003/Service/Rest';
	
function MyFunction1()
{
	var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
	client.open("GET", url + "/MyFunction1", false);
	client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/plain");
	client.send();
	if (client.status == 200)
		alert("Success!");
	else
		alert("Failure!");
}

Then I have a simple button on my webpage that calls the function in it's onclick.

In Firefox, I can see from my server app that the function gets called on the server, but I never see the success or failure messages in the browser. Opening up the web console in Firefox, I can see the following error:

[15:50:50.693] uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///D:/AC%20SOAP%20test.html :: MyFunction1:: line 18" data: no]

(Note: line 18 is the client.send() line.)

Any idea what might be happening here?

In IE, I first get a warning about ActiveX components when loading the page (not sure why) and after that it seems to work (including the success pop-up) for a couple of clicks until the server seemed to stop responding although the success pop-up continued to appear.

Any help here would be appreciated.

[Side note: I started off with a SOAP server and tried to use SoapClient, but I couldn't get that to work at all. I got the same NS_ERROR_FAILURE but without the server doing anything, so I gave up on it and decided to try implementing REST as well as SOAP on my server]

Re: Problem connecting to WCF Rest service

So, I think I figured out the IE problem, it's caching the result rather than calling the method again. I fixed it using the method on the mozilla website here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest#Bypassing_the_cache[^]

By adding a timestamp to the request. Ironically, this works in IE, but now it doesn't work at all in Firefox. Firefox doesn't call the method in my server at all and still gives the same error. Mad | :mad:
