How can I detect if the screen is inverted on at least iOS in Cordova? More specifically I’m looking to support the iOS 11 “smart invert” feature, however it doesn’t matter if this “invert detection” is also triggered by the “classic invert.”
I’ve seen the phonegap accessibility plugin, but I don’t see how to utilize it for this case without simply setting an interval to check it over and over again, which seems like too much of a hack to me. I’m looking for an event-based approach if possible.
Reading further, I missed the fact that the phonegap-mobile-accessibility plugin has events that you can listen to, including for invert colors. As such, using this plugin, you can bind an event as shown below:
window.addEventListener(
MobileAccessibilityNotifications.INVERT_COLORS_STATUS_CHANGED,
info => { // info.isInvertColorsEnabled });
As well, you can check the status at any time (e.g. on page load) like so:
MobileAccessibility.isInvertColorsEnabled(
b => { // typeof b == “boolean” });

There’re currently three ways I know of, to disable annotations in youtube videos:
You can use the YouTube settings. This will not work for me, as I do not have (nor want) an account.
You can use a specialised extension. That might work, but I’d rather not have a full-fledge extension with a ton of options, just for that.
You can use a (ad)blocking extension, and add ||youtube.com/annotations_ to its filters. That suffers from the same issue as the previous point. In addition, it disables them completely, while I simply want them turned off by default (so I have the option to turn them on).
Is it possible to do it using JavaScript? I have a UserScript that already performs some modifications to YouTube’s website, so ideally I’d like to expand it. That’s really the last thing I’m missing.
I ask that answers be constrained to using JS and not browser extensions recommendations. Both because (as mentioned), I already know about those, and because this is as much about the learning process as it is about the result. It’s practice for more UserScripts.
Since youtube sometimes changes the players’s behaviour, I’ll try to keep the code up to date and as robust as possible.
var settings_button = document.querySelector(".ytp-settings-button");
settings_button.click(); settings_button.click(); // open and close settings, so annotations label is created
var all_labels = document.getElementsByClassName("ytp-menuitem-label");
for (var i = 0; i < all_labels.length; i++) {
if ((all_labels[i].innerHTML == "Annotations") && (all_labels[i].parentNode.getAttribute("aria-checked") == "true")) { // find the correct label and see if it is active
all_labels[i].click(); // and in that case, click it
}
}
User's code is correct, settings need to be click & then:
document.querySelectorAll("div[role='menuitemcheckbox']")[1].click()
I added it to my "turn off autoplay & annotations" script: https://gist.github.com/Sytric/4700ee977f427e22c9b0
Previously working JS:
document.querySelectorAll("div[aria-labelledby=\"ytp-menu-iv\"]")[0].click()
I know you don't want to use an extension for this but it is the most flexible and easy way to solve your problem.
Extension gives us the power to use a background script through which we can inject css and javascript to opened web page.
I made one extension on this
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hide-labels-and-end-cards/jinenhpepbpkepablpjjchejlabbpken
This also has a stop-start button for which I just inject the opposite code as before.
If you need any further help on this, i will be happy to do so.
iv_load_policy (supported players: AS3, AS2, HTML5)
Values: 1 or 3. Default is 1. Setting to 1 will cause video annotations to be shown by default, whereas setting to 3 will cause video annotations to not be shown by default.
Here is a nice solution, just hide the div with annotations
$("div.video-annotations").css("display", "none");
I've been searching around for a long time but still haven't found a valid solution for my problem. I just cant seem to get the video player to enter fullscreen. The API does have many examples but none of them seem to work.
The jQuery version included on the page I am currently working on is 1.8.2. Also, I am using parallax-1.1.js and libraries required for it to work properly so that may also be an issue.
The client I am working for wants the site to have responsive design, with the ability of the player to directly go to fullscreen when the "Play" button is clicked. This functionality should be avalable both on desktop, and mobile/tablet browsers. On the video page, there should be 3 video players, each of them has unique IDs, and they also have a common CSS class.
Some of the code I tried didn't work well. Here's an example JS code snippet controlling one of the video HTML tags.
Example:
player1 = _V_('video-1');
player1.on("play",
function () {
this.requestFullScreen();
});
player1.on("ended",
function () {
this.cancelFullScreen();
});
The code generates this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'requestFullScreen'
I am working with the latest version of Google Chrome.
There are a two problems to be solved here.
First, you cannot go to full screen inside a 'play' event handler. For security and good user experience, browsers will only let you trigger full screen inside a user-triggered event, like a 'click'. You can't have every web page going to full screen as soon as you visit it, and you can cause a video to start playing automatically, which would violate that rule. So you need to move this to a 'click' handler on the actual play button.
The second is a big problem with Video.js 4.0.x, which is that it's minified using Google Closure Compiler with Advanced Optimizations. So many of the public properties and methods are obfuscated, making them difficult/impossible to use. In this case, requestFullScreen is now player1.Pa(). And, as far as I can tell, cancelFullScreen doesn't exist at all.
Here are some options for how to handle this:
Use the obfuscated method name. I don't recommend this, because a) the name will change with every minor version upgrade (e.g. 4.0.5) and b) it will make your code unreadable, and c) you can't use cancelFullScreen.
Get an un-minified copy video.js and host it yourself. (You can use Uglify or another minifier that won't mess with the method names.) Video.js doesn't provide this file, so you have to clone the git repo and run the build script yourself. And you don't get the advantage of using video.js's CDN for free.
Use an older version of video.js and wait until 4.x is ready for prime time.
Don't use video.js at all. Consider jPlayer and jwPlayer or roll your own.
I recommend 2 or 3.
Update: It looks like this particular issue has been fixed, but it has not made it into release yet.
I personally used a custom link that triggers both play and fullscreen.
<a class="enter-fullscreen" href="#">Play fullscreen</a>
And the js part:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.enter-fullscreen').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.vjs-play-control').click();
$('.vjs-fullscreen-control').click();
});
</script>
This is improvable but simple and does the job.
One easy way to solve the problem:
document.querySelector('.vjs-big-play-button').addEventListener('click', player.requestFullscreen)
Video goes full screen and the regular event of the play button causes it to start playing.
in video.js file go to this lines
BigPlayButton.prototype.handleClick = function handleClick(event) {
var playPromise = this.player_.play();
and add
BigPlayButton.prototype.handleClick = function handleClick(event) {
var playPromise = this.player_.play();
document.getElementsByClassName('vjs-fullscreen-control')[0].click()
// exit early if clicked via the mouse
if (this.mouseused_ && event.clientX && event.clientY) {
silencePromise(playPromise);
return;
}
I am creating one app for Windows 8 Metro style app using HTML 5 and JavaScript. I require to find at launch of the app whether it will be touch base process or mouse based process (smartphone or desktop computer).
I tried following things.
1) As per following,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.devices.input.pointerdevicetype.aspx
but we are not sure what to pass in as “pdt” in function getPointerDeviceType(pdt)
Tried various things but it return me “undefined” only.
2) We tried Modernizr js framework to find for following code
if (Modernizr.touch){
// bind to touchstart, touchmove, etc and watch `event.streamId`
} else {
// bind to normal click, mousemove, etc
}
But when we insert the latest js code of “Modernizr”, it gives us security error for appendchild command. Something like
“0x800c001c - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to add dynamic content.”
Can anyone please tell how we can achieve so that based on condition, we can execute code for touch based and mouse based execution of app.
Just got it solved. Can come useful for others.
I Put following code on which i need to find which css i need to apply.
helloButton.addEventListener("MSPointerDown", buttonClickHandler, false);
Here is the function:
function buttonClickHandler(eventInfo) {
if (eventInfo.pointerType == eventInfo.MSPOINTER_TYPE_TOUCH) {
// Do something for touch input only
console.log('Touch');
} else {
// Do something for non-touch input
console.log('Mouse');
}
}
You can set your code as per condition.
Your assumption that the app will only have one input type for the duration of execution is a bad one -- I change between mouse, keyboard, and touch on my devices all the time.
That stated:
If you are dynamically adding Modernizr, just include the Modernizer as a script tag in your HTML rather than adding dynamically
You need to use Windows.Devices.Input.PointerDevice.GetPointerDevices(); to get the devices, and then see which ones support touch using the function in the link you provided. (Details here)
You can detect which type of device a specific input event was for (e.g. onmspointerup et al), by looking at the pointerType property on the event object.
I'm trying to debug some JavaScript, I want to find out what code gets executed when I hover over a certain div element (I've got no idea which bit of code, because there's no direct 'onmouseover' - I think there's a jQuery selector in place somewhere?).
Usually I'd use the "Break All" / "Break On Next" facility provided by Developer Tools / Firebug, but my problem is that other code (tickers, mouse movement listeners etc.) immediately gets caught instead.
What I'd like to do is tell the debugger to ignore certain JavaScript files or individual lines, so that it won't stop on code I'm not interested in or have ruled out. Is there any way to achieve that in IE (spit, spit!) - or could you suggest a better approach?
In FireFox this feature is called "Black boxing" and will be available with FireFox 25. It let's do exactly what you where looking for.
This feature was also introduced to Chrome (v30+) although it's tougher to find/configure. It's called "skip through sources with particular names" and Collin Miller did an excellent job in describing how to configure it.
Normally I'm for putting answers and howtos here instead of links but it would just end in me copying Collin's post.
Looks like you're looking for Visual Event.
You might want to take a look at Paul Irish's Re-Introduction to the Chrome Developer Tools, in particular the Timeline section (starts around 15 minutes into the video.)
You can start recording all javascript events - function executions (with source lines etc) and debug based on what events fired. There are other really handy debugging tools hiding in that google IO talk that can help you solve this problem as well.
If you're pretty sure it's a jQuery event handler you can try to poke around with the jQuery events.
This will overwrite all the click handlers (replace with the type you're interested in) and log out something before each event handler is called:
var elem = document.body; // replace with your div
// wrap all click events:
$.each($._data(elem).events.click, function(i, v) {
var h = v.handler;
v.handler = function() {
// or use 'alert' or something here if no Dev Tools
console.log('calling event: '+ i);
console.log('event handler src: '+ h.toString());
h.apply(h, arguments);
};
})
Then try calling the event type directly through jQuery to rule out that type:
$('#your_div').click()
You can use JavaScript Deobfuscator extension in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/javascript-deobfuscator/. It uses the same debugging API as Firebug but presents the results differently.
In the "Executed scripts" tab it will show you all code that is running. If some unrelated code is executing as well it is usually easy enough to skip. But you can also tweak the default filters to limit the amount of code being displayed.
If using are using IE 7.0 onwards, you should have developer toolbar from where you can debug. Just use breakpoint where you need, rest of the code will not stop.
Alternatavely you can define other applications like Interdev/ Visual Studio.net for debugging purpose too.
Last week we released Omniture's analytics code onto a large volume of web sites after tinkering and testing for the last week or so.
On almost all of our site templates, it works just fine. In a few scattered, unpredictable situations, there is a crippling, browser-crashing experience that may turn away some users.
We're not able to see a relationship between the crashing templates at this time, and while there are many ways to troubleshoot, the one that's confuddling us is related to event listeners.
The sites crash when any anchor on these templates is clicked. There isn't any inline JS, and while we firebug'ed our way through the attributes of the HTML, we couldn't find a discernable loop or issue that would cause this. (while we troubleshoot, you can experience this for yourself here [warning! clicking any link in the page will cause your browser to crash!])
How do you determine if an object has a listener or not? How do you determine what will fire when event is triggered?
FYI, I'd love to set breakpoints, but
between Omnitures miserably obfuscated code and repeated browser
crashes, I'd like to research more
thoroughly how I can approach this.
I did an "inspect element" on a link in that page with firebug, and in the DOM tab it says there is an onclick function (anonymous), and also some other function called "s_onclick_0".
I coaxed firebug placing a watch like
alert(document.links[0].onclick)
to alert me the onclick function that omniture (i guess) attaches to links:
function anonymous(e) {
var s = s_c_il[0], b = s.eh(this, "onclick");
s.lnk = s.co(this);
s.t();
s.lnk = 0;
if (b) {
return this[b](e);
}
return true;
}
Maybe in the same way you can see what it is really running after all that obfuscation.
DOM doesn't provide any means to introspecting through the events listeners' collections associated with a node.
The only situation where listener can be identified is when it was added through setting a property or an attribute on the element - check on onxxx property or attribute.
There have been a talk recently on WebAPI group at W3 on whether to add this functionality. Specialists seem to be against that. I share their arguments.
A set of recommendations to the implementers of on-page analytics:
Use document-level event capturing only, this is in almost every case (besides change/submit events) sufficient
Do not execute computation-intensive code (as well as any IO operations) in the handlers, rather postpone execution with a timeout
If this two simple rules are taken into account, I bet your browser will survive
I have some experience with Omniture and looking at your s_code.js, you have several things going on in the "Link Tracking" area, for example:
/* Link Tracking Config */
s.trackDownloadLinks=true
s.trackExternalLinks=true
s.trackInlineStats=true
s.linkDownloadFileTypes="exe,zip,wav,mp3,mov,mpg,avi,wmv,pdf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,ppt,pptx"
s.linkInternalFilters="javascript:,gatehousemedia.com"
s.linkLeaveQueryString=false
s.linkTrackVars="None"
s.linkTrackEvents="None"
I would consult with the people at Omniture and verify that your link tracking configuration is set up correctly.
Specifically, this template and the links inside seem to belong to morningsun.net and yet morningsun.net is not in the s.linkInternalFilters setting. If you are using the same s_code.js file for multiple domains, you can use javascript to set the configuration values for things like this (basing on the document.location.hostname for instance).
I don't personally have experience with the link tracking configuration or I would give you more detail on how to configure it :)
While traveling home I came to a solution that allows for introspection of event handlers on element added with AddEventListener. Run code before the inclusion of your analytics code. The code was not verified if works, but the idea, I guess is clear. It won't work in IE, however you can apply similar technique (of rewriting the API member) there as well.
(function(){
var fAddEventListener = HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener;
HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener = function() {
if (!this._listeners)
this._listeners = [];
this._listeners.push(arguments);
fAddEventListener.apply(this, arguments);
}
})();
