Javascript Confirm method Kills my session data on Safari 5.0.2 - javascript

There is something seriously wrong here. I am about a 100% sure the confirm method is causing serious issues with sessions on Safari. The confirm prompt basically asks the user to make sure he/she wants to go through with an action before pulling off a Jquery POST. This works fine on every other browser, but on Safari the users session data gets deleted and they get logged out upon refreshing the page. I removed the method and everything is back to normal. Has anyone experienced this before? Very strange... shakes fist at apple
Edit: I tried using Jqueries Dialog widget and I am experiencing the same issues. What do you think is going on?
Edit2: For those who are curious, the alert doesn't wipe out the session data, it just brings the control back to the client end therefore the browser isn't really in touch with its server side. This comment explains it best:
You have to be mindful of where your code is running when you are
using ASP.NET. In your example, since you are using the Session
object, you are running on the server. Your web server has no way of
popping up an alert dialog on the user's machine. Instead, it has to
write JavaScript code to the client, which can then execute this code
and give the user an alert. So, you need to change your approach. If
you need the alert, you will need to feed the information to the
client, and have the entire check take place there, in which case you
lose access to your session variable (stored on the server), so the
only comparison you will be able to do is based on something on that
form or else something that you write out to the client machine.

It's ridiculous to see that Safari does not automatically handle this situation like it's counterparts.
Edit3: More proof! A quick google search revealed lots of people on Safari have complaints about getting signed out of facebook randomly. Facebook also has pop up balloon warnings that notify you about important instances such as walking away from a half written message. I get logged out every time that balloon warns me! It's like a tough bouncer for Safari. What is going on here?

Okay, here's the solution, if you are running Safari 5.0.5 UPDATE NOW! 5.0.5 is junk. Call this a coincidence but for me this has reenforced the age long cliche about Apples inability to develop good software.

JavaScript/Chrome Speech Synthesis - Simulating User Activation

I'm experimenting with the Speech Synthesis API. I have the following code:
var message = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Hello");
window.speechSynthesis.speak(message);
The code works perfectly fine, however it only works when the user has clicked or interacted with the current page on the browser. I get the following warning on the Chrome console when attempting to run the code without interacting with the page first:
speechSynthesis.speak() without user activation is no longer allowed since M71, around December 2018. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5687444770914304 for more details
I want the code to run as soon as a user loads the page without them having to interact with the page first.
I looked into simulating a page click with javascript/jquery like this:
$('#randomElementOnPage').trigger('click');
And then running the speech code, but it doesn't seem to trick the browser.
Any solutions/advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: Since there doesn't seem to be any solutions, are there any browser/audio settings in Chrome, etc I can change for myself to allow this to work for myself only. Someone suggested going to chrome://settings/content/sound and adding the site to the list of allowed sites for audio. However, this does not seem to work either.
If, as it's said in your EDIT, you want to use your code on your own computer (computers in some way controlled by you), you may instead use some automation tool (and it will press buttons/interact with the page on your behalf).
I don't know what is trending now. Puppeteer or Intern or something like that, probably, will be an overkill (and puppeteer is headless, as far as I know). A long time ago, I personally, used AutoIt.

How to detect web page crash (not browser crash) using PHP?

How can we detect through PHP or maybe in node.js or other languages if a web page crashed (without the browser EXITing) so that when a user press the "reload" button on the "Aw Snap" page in chrome certain specific content inside the page can be shown in this particular case (crash case).
In a crash without EXIT, a browser shows per example in Google Chrome the famous "Aw, Snap!" page.
I don't want to know how to capture if the user refreshed the page or the page reloaded which can be known quite easily with different methods [one example see this PHP this code which can detect if users refreshed the page on major desktop/mobile browsers except IE unfortunately this code does not capture a crash event and the fact that user might request again the same page after a crash.
I tried using "register_shutdown_function", and some other maneuvers using connection PHP functions like "connection_aborted" etc... but with no success. I figure out a sloppy way through the use of session variables but probably there are better clever manoeuvres.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Any solution in nodejs will be also welcomed.
web brower crash because too many process from your browser to PC of Client.
this crash can't detected by php because PHP server scripting. and you have question.., why not use JS for detect crash of browser?, because JS created just for controller website,. if you force to checked that use ajax, node, etc you can't do that, why? because the problem comes suddenly
and detected crash browser from php is impossible.

Java Applets - Application/Publisher Show 'Unknown' for Signed Applet On Javascript->Java Calls

Our product is running into an issue specific to Java 8. Java 6/7 runs fine.
We have a package of Java applets that multiple customers use, so the domain this package is deployed to is always different. The package is properly signed with the certificate from Verisign.
When the end user launches a page in the browser, the expected dialog with our application name and publisher appears, and asks the end user to accept the security warning. The end user accepts and clicks 'Do not ask again' and the page runs fine.
The trouble starts with pages that make Javascript calls into the Java applets. The behavior appears to be random. New security popups appear, asking the end user to accept the certificate again. My understanding is that once the user selects the certificate initially, this should not happen again. Yet it does.
Then also sometimes the popup appears with the application name and publisher set to UNKNOWN. There does not seem to be any reason for this, the applet package is confirmed to be signed correctly and with a valid certificate from Verisign. Yet, it occurs.
I recognize the initial popup is unavoidable but all of these downstream popups, especially those where the application/publisher are UNKNOWN don't make sense to me, and I'm not sure how to debug this further. The java console trace logs do not clearly show any more details.
Any ideas? Please feel free to ask me more detail if there is something here unclear.

Script to automatically submit form in any browser

Note: I could not think words for this question to search in Google. That's why asking my question. Please bear with me.
I have internet subscription of xyz company and it's login based connection. But what happens is that sometimes login screen reappears and is asking for password. I have already stored user name and password in web page but I have to click on login button to relogin again.
Can I have any script written for this login page that whenever internet connection goes and asks for relogin again, script automatically submit form and get connected with internet?
You're looking for content scripts. There is no cross-browser way to inject code into a web page, but each major browser has a well documented way to do it:
Firefox
Chrome
Internet Explorer
Technically you could also write a script that sniffs HTTP requests using a tool like Wireshark and posts form data whenever it detects the page is displayed, but that doesn't seem like a great solution.

Constant Client Disconnects in Classic ASP Web Application

I'm working with a Classic ASP web app that typically runs well considering the old technology. It is an online support chat application that basically refreshes the client side Live Monitor page every 10 seconds to see if there are any pending chat requests. The past few days, a lot of our users are having a problem where this page either just ends up refreshing and going blank white (with no html in view source), or it goes to a generic IE error page "This program cannot display the webpage" - the same error you see when you are offline. I was able to recreate the issue after hours when I was the only user in the chat system, so it's not a matter of an overloaded server I don't think.
I've tried the following to no avail:
Recycle Application Pool
Reboot IIS Server
Change refresh from javascript to meta tag
Check IIS Error logs (nothing)
Check IIS event logs (nothing)
One thing that seemed to work for me, but didn't work for everyone else, was to disable our network Proxy server settings in the browser. Once I disable this, I can't get it to error out anymore... however, other users aren't quite so lucky.
Any thoughts on where to go with this? I'm at a bit of a loss here...
Thanks,
Shawn
We are finding the same problems in a .Net solution. It looks as if the issues are related to SQL Locking so we're working on those as we find them.
