I'm trying to execute Javascript on my web application by executing this on the browser URL/address bar:
javascript:window.alert('test');void(0);
However, nothing happens and the alert box is not showing up? Could the reason be that the app is running in DevMode?
You can write your javascript code inside the block like this
javascript:{alert("ok");}
I believe most browsers refuse to execute javascript: URLs from the URL bar as a safety measure (there's been messages on the web –esp. Facebook– telling people to copy-paste a javascript: URL to their URL bar that triggered an XSS). They didn't want to break bookmarklets though, so you can put that code in a bookmark; but it's much easier to just open the browser's JS console and type that command there.
Anyway, it's not due to GWT's DevMode.

For example I would like to control multiple”online”webpages ,such as google.com ,with only a sequence of consistent codes on browser console(ctrl+shift+j in windows system)for consistent action "such as clicking button A in A web and jumping to web B automatically , then clicking button B in B web."
(as usual,I must type other codes in refreshed console once I jump to anther webpage to change html)
For example:
//on the console1
`document.getElementbyid(“id1”).click()
`
//id1 is inside the web1
`window.open(“link_of_new_webpage”,”_self”)`
//I understand that it will be just a new page with new console.
//but I mean I was looking forward to some kind of these things.
//and below is id2 inside web2 in console2
`document.getElementbyid(“id2”).click()`
in conclusion i want a console likely showed below
document.getElementbyid(“id1”).click()
window.open(“link_of_new_webpage”,”_self”)`
document.getElementbyid(“id2”).click()
//the code above is actually consistent!
//not like code below
document.getElementbyid(“id1”).click()//in console 1 in web1
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
document.getElementbyid(“id2”).click()//in console 2 in web2
Plz someone helps me or tell me that it cannot be fulfilled
(in fact ,I was freshman in JavaScript and Html)
I promise I will use these tools in correct way.thx beyond description !!
If you're trying to do this on a client facing site I'm afraid what I believe you're asking to do is impossible for a myriad of security reasons. If you're just looking to run these executions locally though you're in luck. Headless browsers are commonly used in testing as well as web scraping and allow you to program commands as if a user was interacting directly with the browser. If you're looking to stay within the confines of JS a popular option is Puppeteer.
Best of luck
I have a classic ASP web page that used to work... but the network guys have made a lot of changes including moving the app to winodws 2008 server running iis 7.5. We also upgraded to IE 9.
I'm getting a Permission denied error message when I try to click on the following link:
<a href=javascript:window.parent.ElementContent('SearchCriteria','OBJECT=321402.EV806','cmboSearchType','D',false)>
But other links like the following one work just fine:
<a href="javascript:ElementContent('SearchCriteria','OBJECT=321402.EV806', 'cmboSearchType','D',false)">
The difference is that the link that is failing is in an iframe. I noticed on other posts, it makes a difference whether or not the iframe content is coming from another domain.
In my case, it's not. But I am getting data from another server by doing the following...
set objhttp = Server.CreateObject("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
objhttp.open "get", strURL
objhttp.send
and then i change the actual html that i get back ... add some hyperlinks etc. Then i save it to a file on my local server. (saved as *.html files)
Then when my page is loading, i look for the specific html file and load it into the iframe.
I know some group policy options in IE have changed... and i'm looking into those changes. but the fact that one javascript link works makes me wonder whether the problem lies somewhere else...???
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.
You could try with Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP instead of WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.
See differences between Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP and WinHttp.WinHttpRequest? for the difference between Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.
On this exellent site about ASP you get plenty of codesamples on how to use Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP which is the most recent of the two:
http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general/how-do-i-read-the-contents-of-a-remote-web-page.html
About the IE9 issue: connect a pc with an older IE or another browser to test if the browser that is the culprit. Also in IE9 (or better in Firefox/Firebug) use the development tools (F12) and watch the console for errors while the contents of the iFrame load.
Your method to get dynamic pages is not efficient i'm afraid, ASP itself can do that and you could use eg a div instead of an iframe and replace the contents with what you get from the request. I will need to see more code to give better advice.
I'm using IE9 to debug a web app. I made some changes to the javascript after loading the page. I'm not able to get IE9 to stop on the new code. The message is "The code in the document is not loaded". I can set breakpoints when I'm not debugging, but they won't be valid when I start debugging. I'm using IE7 Browswer Mode, IE7 Document Mode.
Things I've tried:
close dev tools window, re-open
stop debugging, start debugging
Ctrl R in dev tools window (same as Clear Browser Cache button)
Ctrl R on the IE9 web page
Ctrl F5 on the Ie9 web page
Clear browser cache for this domain
Check (set) Always refresh cache from server
Next thing to try (I guess) would be closing IE completely. Is that the fix for this? If so, yuck. It takes me a couple of minutes to set the page up so doing that after every JS change really stinks. I can use FF4 to develop the JS, but the JS issue I'm seeing is specific to IE7 so I have to do it this way.
>> How can I get IE9 (running in IE7 mode) to reliably debug the most current JS from the server?
This issue wasn't related to caching etc. IE9 was hitting a script error (missing closing paren) in the new code and not allowing breakpoints anywhere in the script. IE seemed very quiet about the script error though. Anyway, fixing the script error fixed the issues with breakpoints / caching.
If you have access to the code:
In you javascript file reference add a query string, something like this:
<script src="Scripts/main.js?v=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
And every time you change in the js file change the v value to something else, like that the browser will feel that this is a new file and will get it.
Add this:
window.applicationCache.addEventListener('updateready', function (e)
{
if (window.applicationCache.status == window.applicationCache.UPDATEREADY)
{
window.applicationCache.swapCache();
if (confirm('A new version of this site is available. Load it?'))
window.location.reload();
}
}, false);
I found this solution somwhere in the Net. Sorry, but I don't remember the author. It works for me when I debug Web App with JavaScript in Visual Studio and use IE.
I found this question based on the "the code in the document is not loaded" error message. I'm not using IE7 document mode or any of that, just IE9.
Like jcollum, my issue wasn't related to caching.
I'm using MVC.Net, and someone had set up a piece of javascript to rely on a string in the ViewBag. I changed a couple things, and that ViewBag string disappeared, so the resulting javascript looked something like this:
if(!()) {
// Some code
}
Javascript died right here, and wouldn't process the rest of the code in the block. This was confusing, as it was still trying to execute javascript in a different set of script tags, but which relied on a variable set in the other block it wouldn't load.
So, basically, a syntax error was introduced via strange means, and the debugger refused to load some of the code which came after it. Another lesson on the dangers of ViewBag.
How can I write something ("hello my client" for example) in the browser's address bar with javascript after the page is completely loaded?
Mean writing something in address bar without entering - is it possible?
It seems we can do this job with JavaScript, if not can we do that with server side code?
How?
This is possible, but only the part after the hostname:
history.pushState(null, "page 2", '/foo.html');
Try this in your javascript console, this effectively changes the current path with /foo.html. (It's a new html5 feature, and is available in recent browsers only.)
See mozilla docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history#Adding_and_modifying_history_entries
Browser Compatibility
Why?
This is used to make ajax sites history/bookmark/link friendly by updating the URL as the content is updated. Currently most sites do this by only changing the hash part of the URL (e.g. Twitter with their #!.)
For instance Github uses this for their code browser: https://github.com/blog/760-the-tree-slider
Maybe its already answered # Change the URL in the browser without loading the new page using JavaScript .
You can set location.hash, but you can't replace the entire URI.
The reason this is not possible is it presents a security violation. This is why phishers write a gif file over where they believe the address bar will be.
My question is why would you want to do this? The only reason I can think of is you want to make someone think they are at http://Iamreallyyourbank.com when they are at http://IamStealingYourMoney.com, which is why the security is in place.
This is not possible. You cannot change the URL displayed in the browser. Not only would it be a horrible security practice, it would be a violation of trust to the people visiting your site.
I need to create a batch file that will stop a process and then refresh a defined tab in internet explorer 7. Just need some help/pointers on the tab refresh part or if it's even possible... I don't want IE to open another tab, and another browser is not an option as the web based program is only compatible with IE. Any ideas? I've experimented with a VBS file with no luck and seeing how it's a web based program I cannot add Java Script to the page...
I know you said you tried VBScript, but it really is the most suitable solution for what you're trying to achieve. See "Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog: How Can I Tell if Any Internet Explorer Windows Are Open to a Particular Web Site?"
See the code:
For i = 0 to objShellWindows.Count - 1
Set objIE = objShellWindows.Item(i)
strURL = objIE.LocationURL
If InStr(strURL, "http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter")Then
blnFound = True
End If
Next
Each iteration returns an instance of an open Internet Explorer window's WebBrowser Control. Instead of the blnFound = True try objIE.Refresh2().
You could frame the site, then refresh it from the outer frame with javascript on a timer. This may or may not suit your needs.
This is doable, but it's a little tricky and it requires a constraint: the tab you want to refresh has to have been opened by a Javascript call to window.open and it has to have a name. Let's call that name foo. Then you need to simply load another web page in that same browser session to execute the following Javascript:
window.open('http://other.site.url/etc', 'foo');
This means you need to both know the name of the frame and the target URL. But it's certainly doable.
Doing this from a batch file requires some scripting. In VBScript the code would be something like:
Dim browser
Set browser = CreateObject("SHDocVw.InternetExplorer")
browser.visible = True
browser.navigate("http://mysite.org/refresh.html")
Where refresh.html is the page containing the above Javascript followed by a call to window.close()
Assuming you have control over the web page too...
I'm suprised no one brought up the age old meta refresh.
Rather than do some goofy iframe/javascript magic, or some crazy IE COM object mambo, you could always write a meta refresh tag into your given a certain querystring is passed (or all the time, I don't know what your needs are)
Again, I'm not sure this suits your needs, but it is quick and pretty clean.
put this in your and it will refresh the page once every 60 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
