Triggering multiple javascripts nested inside AJAX page - javascript

[A] I am using the splendid Highslide script to open a modal window (via its built-in AJAX functionality).
[B] So I will use 'main' to refer to the top/main page and 'insert' to describe the page being inserted into the 'main'.
[C] The 'insert' page being loaded into the Highslide window contains 4 external scripts that I must run as the modal is expanded.
[D] The scripts are included at the bottom of the 'insert' page -- right before the </body> tag -- since AJAX mode causes Highslide to ignore the <head> section.
[E] So my scripts look like this:
<script src="/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jQuery.thumbfx.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jQuery.easing.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){var $container = $('#IMAGES');$container.imagesLoaded( function(){$container.masonry({itemSelector : '.BLOCK',columnWidth: 200,isFitWidth: true,gutterWidth: 0});});});
</script>
</body>
[F] Highslide is activated in the head of the 'main' page -- and by including the code below, it is supposed to trigger these scripts as the modal window is fetched and expanded.
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterExpand = function() {
var scripts = this.content.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
eval(scripts[i].innerHTML);
}
};
[G] The problem is two fold... First: I cannot seem to activate all the scripts. Masonry works perfectly in this scenario, but I can't get ThumbFX to work at all. Second: In trying to work out this problem I've discovered that eval() is evil, and it should be avoided like rabid zombies.
QUESTION: Is there a better (more secure) function that I can run at that hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterExpand event -- perhaps one that will actually work for ALL of the scripts?
Thank you.
EDIT: By the way... my paths are correct, and I can get all the scripts to work perfectly when I go directly to the 'insert' page. But only Masonry works when the 'insert' page is AJAX'd by Highslide. Thanks again.

The below code will only read script blocks inside a Highslide ajax popup, not included JavaScript files. That’s why the Masonry works and the ThumbFx doesn’t, since the code for the Masonry is placed in a script block. The script files for the Masonry is picked from the included files in the main page (jquery-1.6.1.min.js and jquery.masonry.min.js).
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterExpand = function () {
var scripts = this.content.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
eval(scripts[i].innerHTML);
}
};
Solution without JavaSript block in the Highslide ajax popup:
You can call the functions directly from the onAfterExpand event instead of using script block in the “insert” page. All necessary JavaScript files must be included in the head section of the main page. The code you got from the author of ThumbFx requires that all the opening anchors in the main page have a unique ID so we can tie together the opening anchor with the correct “insert” page with the code in the onAfterExpand event.
HTML markup with ID:
<a id="link1" href="insert-page/image/1/" rel="highslide-ajax" class="BLOCK">
<img src="thumbs/image1.jpg" alt="" /></a>
<a id="link2" href="insert-page/image/2/" rel="highslide-ajax" class="BLOCK">
<img src="thumbs/image2.jpg" alt="" /></a>
Call the functions in the onAfterExpand event (requires highslide-full.js):
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterExpand = function () {
// for jQuery Masonry
var $container = $('#IMAGES');
$container.imagesLoaded(function () {
$container.masonry({
itemSelector: '.BLOCK',
columnWidth: 200,
isFitWidth: true,
gutterWidth: 0
});
});
// for ThumbFx
if (this.a.id == 'link1') {
$.ajax({
url: "insert-page/image/1/",
context: document.body
}).done(function () {
$('[data-overlayer]').overlayer();
});
}
if (this.a.id == 'link2') {
$.ajax({
url: "insert-page/image/1/",
context: document.body
}).done(function () {
$('[data-overlayer]').overlayer();
});
}
// add more calls for ThumbFx here
};
Solution with JavaScript block in the Highslide ajax popup:
Put this code in the main page together with your highslide settings (requires highslide-full.js):
hs.Expander.prototype.onAfterExpand = function () {
var scripts = this.content.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
eval(scripts[i].innerHTML);
}
};
This also requires that the necessary JavaScript files are included in the main page, but you don’t need to add ID to the opening anchors in the main page.
Place the script block in the body tag in the “insert” pages:
<script>
$(function () {
// for jQuery Masonry
var $container = $('#IMAGES');
$container.imagesLoaded(function () {
$container.masonry({
itemSelector: '.BLOCK',
columnWidth: 200,
isFitWidth: true,
gutterWidth: 0
});
});
// for ThumbFx
$.ajax({
context: document.body
}).done(function () {
$('[data-overlayer]').overlayer();
});
});
</script>

Set iFrame source and reload with jQuery

I have a unique issue that--while I've seen similar questions and answers--none quite address my challenge.
Currently, I provide a "print" button that loads the print dialog on a browser based on an embedded and hidden iframe. This works just fine, but I don't want to slow down page loading by pulling in the iframe for a large PDF.
So, I want to load an iframe without the source, then write the proper source url if the user clicks the print icon, then reload the iframe, and finally, show the dialog box.
Unfortunately, the print dialog pops up before I can reload the iframe so loads a blank page in the dialog box. On subsequent clicks, the PDF is loaded and ready for print.
<a href='#' id='load_pdf' ><i class='fa fa-2 fa-print'></i></a>
<iframe id="iFramePdf" src="" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#load_pdf").click(loadPDF);
function loadPDF() {
$('#iFramePdf').attr('src', "my.pdf");
// Attempt to reload iframe
$('#iFramePdf').load("my.pdf");
sendPrint('iFramePdf')
}
function sendPrint(elementId) {
var iframe = $(element_id)[0];
iframe.contentWindow.focus();
iframe.contentWindow.print();
}
});
</script>
I've tried the following various methods to reload:
// Attempt 1
$('#iFramePdf').attr('src', function () { return
$(this).contents().get(0).location.href });
// Attempt 2
$('#iFramePdf').attr("src", $('#iFramePdf').attr("src"));
$('#iFramePdf').attr('src', function () { return $(this).contents().get(0).location.href });
// Attempt 3
$('#iFramePdf')[0].contentWindow.location.reload(true);
// Attempt 4
var getMyFrame = document.getElementById(elementId);
getMyFrame.contentWindow.location.reload(true);
I've even tried using jQuery's defer method, but had no luck with that (possibly because I'm lacking knowledge). If I could get any guidance, I'd appreciate it.
try to change this:
function loadPDF() {
$('#iFramePdf').attr('src', "my.pdf");
// Attempt to reload iframe
$('#iFramePdf').load("my.pdf");
sendPrint('iFramePdf')
}
to something like this:
function loadPDF() {
$('#iFramePdf').attr('src', "my.pdf");
}
$('#iFramePdf').load(function(){
sendPrint('iFramePdf')
})
it should work
You can try .promise(). For obvious reasons I can't test it out, but I think 3 seconds should be adequate for the iframe to load. Be aware that this is as syntactically correct as I can get it without testing it out. Adjust the fadeIn(1800) and the delay(1200) accordingly.
HTML
<a href='#' id='load_pdf' ><i class='fa fa-2 fa-print'></i></a>
<p id="msg" style="display: none;">Printing Document...</p>
<div id="printPort" style="opacity: 0; width: 1px; height: 1px;"></div>
jQuery
$(function() {
$("#load_pdf").on('click', loadPDF('my.pdf'));
// Create the iframe, and put it inside #printPort
// Change it's src to the file argument
// Animate the #msg for 3 seconds
var loadPDF = function(file) {
$('<iframe id="iFramePdf" src="blank.html"></iframe>').appendTo("#printPort");
$("#iFramePdf").att('src', file);
return $('#msg').fadeIn(1800).delay(1200).fadeOut();
}
var sendPrint = function(elementId) {
var iframe = $(element_id)[0];
iframe.contentWindow.focus();
iframe.contentWindow.print();
}
// Once the animation is done the promise will resolve and sendPrint will execute on callback.
$.when(loadPDF).done(sendPrint('iFramePdf'));
});

gridx cellwidget scope - can't execute external javascript

I have been trying to create a cellwidget button within gridx that once clicked it will call a javascript function externally. so the set up is i have the file test.html which contains a gridx grid with the following field declared in html
{ field: 'action',
name:'action',
widgetsInCell: true,
navigable: true,
width : '5%',
class:'linkButton',
decorator: function(){
return '<button class="linkButton" baseClass="linkButton" data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Button" iconClass="deleteButtonIcon"></button>'
},
setCellValue: function(gridData, storeData, cellWidget){
var status = cellWidget.cell.row.data()[3];
var id = cellWidget.cell.row.id;
if (status=='abc')
{
cellWidget.domNode.hidden=false;
if(cellWidget.btn._cnnt){
cellWidget.btn._cnnt.remove();
}
cellWidget.btn._cnnt = dojo.connect(cellWidget.btn, 'onClick', function(e){
alert('test');
deleteRecord('');
});
}
}}
The alert happens fine but the problem is that the deleteRecord function can not be found - this function is in a test.js file and is being loaded using the script tag
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/test.js"></script>
i suppose my questions are
am i do something wrong above?
what is the scope of the cellwidget, can it call external js
scripts?
is there a way to connect the button to an event in
the .js file (dynamically loaded so can't use id)?
how is it done using attach points?

Creating a way to navigate back when using jQuery for AJAX

I am dynamically loading content into part of a page using jQuery .load().
It is working well, but I am having trouble building a way for the user to navigate back to the original content after the new content has been loaded.
I have created a 'close' icon with css which exists on the new page which is loaded, but I am not sure how to set up the jQuery / JavaScript in order for it to navigate the user back to the original state of that part of the page.
This is the relevant js:
// pages to load
var loadLudwig = "lw.html";
$("#work a:first-child").click(function() {
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 0, function() {
$("#work").load(loadLudwig, function(){
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
});
// (& this part is working fine)
The relevant HTML (on the original page) is like this (its a grid of images embedded within anchor tags):
<section id="work">
...img and svg stuff
</section>
I tried many variations of:
$("#close-button").click(function() {
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 0, function () {
$("#work").load('home.html #work', function() {
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
});
but this loads the content very strangely / some of the original functionality of #work is lost.
How do I get my close button to navigate back to the original state of #work?
In the jquery documentation for .load() is stated that:
Script Execution
When calling .load() using a URL without a suffixed selector
expression, the content is passed to .html() prior to scripts being
removed. This executes the script blocks before they are discarded. If
.load() is called with a selector expression appended to the URL,
however, the scripts are stripped out prior to the DOM being updated,
and thus are not executed. An example of both cases can be seen below:
Here, any JavaScript loaded into #a as a part of the document will
successfully execute.
1. $( "#a" ).load( "article.html" );
However, in the following case, script blocks in the document being
loaded into #b are stripped out and not executed:
1. $( "#b" ).load( "article.html #target" );
This is a probable cause for lack of functionality.
I'd also look into event binding. In your code examples you're using .click but if you are loading content or you are creating elements on-the-fly you should be favoring .on(). This method delegates events instead of just binding them to a DOM node.
I'd recommend you reading the whole article.
EDIT:
Here is a quick n'dirty way of achieving the effect
// pages to load
var loadLudwig = "lw.html",
$ludwig,
$work = $('#work'),
$workContent = $work.children(),
$closeButton = $("#close-button");
$work.find('a:first-child').click(function() {
$work.fadeTo('slow', 0, function() {
//Here is the tricky part
//Detaching keeps all the jQuery data on the elements
$workContent.detach();
//The first time, load the content,
//if the content is already loaded
//append it to the container
if(!$ludwig){
$work.load(loadLudwig, function(){
//Save the content in a var
//so you can reuse it later
$ludwig = $work.children();
$work.fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
} else {
$ludwig.appendTo($work);
$work.fadeTo('slow', 1);
}
});
});
$closeButton.click(function() {
$work.fadeTo('slow', 0, function () {
//Remove the old content, don't worry
//because is stored in $ludwig
$work.children().detach();
//Instead of reloading the content, just
//attach the fragment again
$workContent.appentTo($work);
$work.fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
You probably need to save the html somewhere. For example:
// Top of file
var oldHTML = "";
// Lots of stuff...
$("#work a:first-child").click(function() {
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 0, function() {
// Store the old html
oldHTML = $("#work").html();
$("#work").load(loadLudwig, function(){
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
});
// Code for the close button
$("#close-button").click(function() {
$("#work").fadeTo('slow', 0, function () {
$("#work").html(oldHTML).fadeIn("slow");
});
});
Alternatively, instead of replacing the html, you could create another child. Of course, you might have to slightly change your markup.
<section id="work">
<div id="oldHTML">
...img and svg stuff
</div>
<div id="newSection" style="display:none;">
</div>
</section>
Then replace $("#work") with $("#oldHTML") in your first piece of code like so:
$("#oldHTML a:first-child").click(function() {
$("#oldHTML").fadeTo('slow', 0, function() {
$("#oldHTML").hide();
$("#newSection").load(loadLudwig, function(){
$("#newSection").show().fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
});
// Code for the close button
$("#close-button").click(function() {
$("#newSection").fadeTo('slow', 0, function () {
$("#newSection").hide();
$("#work").fadeIn("slow");
});
});

wami-recorder - Wami.startRecording is not a function

I am trying to implement Wami-Recorder as described here on stackoverflow with basically the same setup as in the accepted answer ie swfobject.js, recorder.js, and gui.js included in the head tag, the html controls contained in the divs:
<div id="recorder">
<button id="record">Record</button>
<button id="play">Play</button>
</div>
<div id="flash"></div>
and the JavaScript is just sitting at the bottom of the page just before the html end tag:
<script>
Wami.setup({
id: 'flash' // where to put the flash object
});
// initialize some global vars
var recording = '';
var recordingUrl = '';
var playBackUrl = '';
// get button elements
var record = $('#record');
var play = $('#play');
// define functions
function startRecording() {
recording = 'temp.wav';
recordingUrl = 'http://localhost/temp/wami/test/save_file.php?filename=' + recording;
Wami.startRecording(recordingUrl);
// update button attributes
record.html('Stop').unbind().click(function() {
stopRecording();
});
}
function stopRecording() {
Wami.stopRecording();
// get the recording for playback
playBackUrl = 'http://localhost/temp/wami/test/' + recording;
// update button attributes
record.html('Record').unbind().click(function() {
startRecording();
});
}
function startPlaying() {
Wami.startPlaying(playBackUrl);
// update button attributes
play.html('Stop').unbind().click(function() {
stopPlaying();
});
}
function stopPlaying() {
Wami.stopPlaying();
// update button attributes
play.html('Play').unbind().click(function() {
startPlaying();
});
}
// add initial click functions
record.click(function() {
startRecording();
});
play.click(function() {
startPlaying();
});
</script>
</body>
Now, I've never actually seen a working demo of Wami-Recorder, but I'm assuming there should actually be something in the flash container when it loads...? I get no error, and I can right click the area where the flash embed should be and the context menu confirms that there's a flash object loaded, and Firebug shows the DOM has been modified to:
<div id="recorder">
<button id="record">Record</button>
<button id="play">Play</button>
</div>
<div id="flash">
<div id="widb06765e52be" style="position: absolute;">
<object id="wid36dd0ea1ccc" width="214" height="137" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Wami.swf" style="visibility: visible;">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="flashvars" value="visible=false&loadedCallback=Wami._callbacks['wid9ebef515c0b']&console=true">
</object>
</div>
</div>
as well as that the Wami.swf file was fetched via GET with 200 status.
Still, when I click the Record button, I get TypeError: Wami.startRecording is not a function. I'm assuming it's some sort of context issue, in that Wami is not a global for use inside a function for some reason. If so, can anyone explain why? If this is not the case, what have I overlooked?
Edit:
At one point I had tried to implement a more object-oriented way of doing things with:
var Audio = {
setup: function() {
Wami.setup("wami");
}
record: function() {
Audio.status("Recording...");
Wami.startRecording("https://wami-recorder.appspot.com/audio");
}
play: function() {
Wami.startPlaying("https://wami-recorder.appspot.com/audio");
}
stop: function() {
Audio.status("");
Wami.stopRecording();
Wami.stopPlaying();
}
status: function(msg) {
$('#status').html(msg);
}
};
And I would fire the functions from within the document.ready() method depending upon other conditions. The original implementation throws the exact same error, and I stripped it all out to try this more direct approach... to no avail.
You're on the right track! This is a lot of writing, but I hope it helps :-D
On the default implementation using the sample code from the Google repos, you do see the Flash GUI because it's initialized, but in this example, it does not and relies on the HTML buttons. The Flash is still on the page right below the buttons but white one white.
Your error
Using your code and files, the only way I was able to duplicate your error was to access the file via the file system:
file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/wami/index.html
Accessing the same content through a web server:
http://localhost/wami/index.html
works great.
So my assumption is that you don't have a web server to test on and are using the file system instead. I included links to XAMPP and basic setup instructions below, as well as the working code sample.
My setup:
I'm using XAMPP so the browser URL is set to http://localhost/wami/index.html.
You can download XAMPP here.
On Windows, it will install in C:\xampp by default.
Place all your files in C:\xampp\htdocs\wami and you should be all set.
Start APACHE in the XAMPP console
Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost/wami/index.html
I placed all files in that folder (all WAMI files including save_file.php). Once ran, and the first WAV file was created, I elevated the permissions on it for testing (right-click, add FULL CONTROL permission for All Users (I'm on Windows 7).
Full working code sample (same as yours but has the entire code chunk for reference. I removed https:// from the JavaScript call since mixing http and https can cause security popups and broken JavaScript)
I used the PHP file as-is with this code:
<?php
// get the filename
parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $params);
$file = isset($params['filename']) ? $params['filename'] : 'temp.wav';
// save the recorded audio to that file
$content = file_get_contents('php://input');
$fh = fopen($file, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $content);
fclose($fh);
?>
And the HTML file:
<!-- index.html -->
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
<script src="recorder.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="recorder">
<button id="record">Record</button>
<button id="play">Play</button>
</div>
<div id="flash"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialize Wami
Wami.setup({
id: 'flash' // where to put the flash object
});
// initialize some global vars
var recording = '';
var recordingUrl = '';
var playBackUrl = '';
// get button elements
var record = $('#record');
var play = $('#play');
// define functions
function startRecording() {
recording = 'temp.wav';
recordingUrl = 'save_file.php?filename=' + recording;
Wami.startRecording(recordingUrl);
// update button attributes
record.html('Stop').unbind().click(function() {
stopRecording();
});
}
function stopRecording() {
Wami.stopRecording();
// get the recording for playback
playBackUrl = recording;
// update button attributes
record.html('Record').unbind().click(function() {
startRecording();
});
}
function startPlaying() {
Wami.startPlaying(playBackUrl);
// update button attributes
play.html('Stop').unbind().click(function() {
stopPlaying();
});
}
function stopPlaying() {
Wami.stopPlaying();
// update button attributes
play.html('Play').unbind().click(function() {
startPlaying();
});
}
// add initial click functions
record.click(function() {
startRecording();
});
play.click(function() {
startPlaying();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
The flash object was being embedded in the page, but none of the event listeners were working. I have since switched to jRecorder link, and with a few modifications to the code, have it working with no issues.

Using jQuery in a firefox extension

I'm trying to develop a firefox extension which draws a toolbar at the base of every webpage.
Until now i managed to make jQuery work and i proved it by running
$("body",mr.env).css("background","black");
in the mr.on=function().
This code just makes the background color of the webpage black whenever i click the menu item associated with the addon.
But, if i try to run
$('body',mr.env).append( ' <img src="img/check.png" /> ' );
it simply fails. It doesn't show any error in Error Console and the image isn't displayed.
Why is that?
This is my overlay XUL :
<script src="window.js"/>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<!-- Firefox Tools menu -->
<menupopup id="menu_ToolsPopup">
<menuitem id="menu_crypt_demo" class="" image=""
label="Use DnsResolver?" insertbefore="javascriptConsole" accesskey="o"
oncommand="DnsResolver.onMenuItemCommand(event);">
</menuitem>
</menupopup>
This is the JavaScript file (window.js):
var DnsResolver = {
onLoad: function() {
// initialization code
this.initialized = true;
},
onMenuItemCommand: function() {
testextension.on();
window.open("chrome://dnsresolver/content/window.xul", "", "chrome");
}
};
window.addEventListener("load", function(e) { DnsResolver.onLoad(e); }, false);
if(!testextension){ var testextension={};}
(function(){
var mr=testextension;
mr.on=function(){
mr.loadLibraries(mr);
var jQuery = mr.jQuery;
var $ = function(selector,context){ return new jQuery.fn.init(selector,context||window._content.document); };
$.fn = $.prototype = jQuery.fn;
mr.env=window._content.document;
/*$("body",mr.env).css("background","black");*/
$('body',mr.env).append('<img src="img/check.png" />');
$(mr.env).ready(function(){
// hide and make visible the show
$("span.close a",mr.env).click(function() {
$("#tbar"),mr.env.slideToggle("fast");
$("#tbarshow",mr.env).fadeIn("slow");
});
// show tbar and hide the show bar
$("span.show a",mr.env).click(function() {
$("#tbar",mr.env).slideToggle("fast");
$("#tbarshow",mr.env).fadeOut();
});
});
/*$("body",mr.env).css("background","black");*/
}
// Loading the Jquery from the mozilla subscript method
mr.loadLibraries = function(context){
var loader = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/moz/jssubscript-loader;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.mozIJSSubScriptLoader);
loader.loadSubScript("chrome://dnsresolver/content/jquery-1.4.4.min.js",context);
var jQuery = window.jQuery.noConflict(true);
if( typeof(jQuery.fn._init) == 'undefined') { jQuery.fn._init = jQuery.fn.init; }
mr.jQuery = jQuery;
}
})();
Starting with Firefox 3, chrome resources can no longer be referenced from within <img>, <script>, or other elements contained in, or added to, content that was loaded from an untrusted source. This restriction applies to both elements defined by the untrusted source and to elements added by trusted extensions. If such references need to be explicitly allowed, set the contentaccessible flag to yes to obtain the behaviour found in older versions of Firefox.
Use the HTML tab in FireFox to know actually if the img element was added. It probably was added and the problem is with your URL.
I remember when building my FireFox extensions, that files are located through a special protocol (chrome:// I think), where you put the name of the extension and can browse through it.
