How to get file creation date on server for jQuery/uploadify? - javascript

I am using the jQuery Uploadify plugin on a web page to transfer files from the local computer to an ASP.NET MVC2 control action method. Is there a way to transfer the creation date/time of the file to the server?
I can get at the data in an Uploadify event on the client, but can not figure out how to "package" that data so it is moved to the server w/ the file.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Try using onSelect event to add values to the scriptData object.
UPDATE: The following is an ad-hoc view to pass the data to the action. It appears that modificationDate returns a Unix timestamp in it's time field and you'll have to convert it on the server side. I wasn't able to find any documentation on modificationDate property.

$('#file_upload').uploadifySettings('scriptData', {
modifiedTimestamp: fileObj.modificationDate.time

return true;
}

$('#file_upload').uploadifySettings('scriptData', myScriptData);
});
</script>

In your action method, you can grab timestamp through the Request.Form["modifiedTimestamp"]. Check here on how to convert timestamp to the DateTime object.

How to retrieve item from another localStorage Domain?

I'm working on a JAVA web application which plays the role of a search engine. Its backend is developed with AngularJS. And I have a small PHP code which tries to send a data from an input text to the JAVA web app via an iframe. the data is stocked in a localStorage.
Here is below the PHP Code :
index.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Search</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect(){
var toSearch = document.getElementById('wordToSearch').innerHTML;
console.log("toSearch : ", toSearch);
localStorage.setItem('wordToSearch', 'bdd');
window.location.href = "http://localhost:8050/searchEngine/#/search";
}
</script>
<form action="http://localhost:8050/searchEngine/#/search">
<input type="text" name="word" id="wordToSearch">
<input type="submit" value="Search" onclick="redirect()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Precisely, I'm trying to retrieve the "wordToSearch" item value stored within the localStorage
Here is below the code where i add my iFrame to my application :
<iframe src='http://localhost:8040/test/index.php'></iframe>
This is the result i get in the developer tools :
Developer Tools Result
Can anyone help me please ?
So TL;DR, you're saying you want JavaScript code running on a page whose origin is http://localhost:8050 to access the localStorage for origin http://localhost:8040 (or vice-versa)?
You can't do that. Web storage is specific to the origin, which includes the port.
You can do it using cookie, set value to http://localhost:8050 and get value from http://localhost:8040. Visit https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie

How to excecute a <p:remoteCommand> from javascript

Guys I solved this problem, what happened was that I ran my application and as I was in the browser, I went to my client directly from the url by typing the address where he is staying, doing an inspection of the source code of the page of the cliene I realize that I was still showing the code of primefaces as such, which is not right, should have been processed and displayed as pure html, so put a button from my index to send me to the client, so that now when doing the inspection showed me the html code already processed, and everything went well. thanks.

JS acees variable another HTML

I'm actually trying to access variable of other HTML file using JS.
I mean, I have a file (file1.htm) that open dialog box and I would like to send information of the file selected to another file (file2.htm) and modify a value in this file. I found solution but only for JS files, and not HTML :/
I had already done it with 2 files but file1a was the parent of the other, so I used
parent.framWin = window; in file2a and
framWin.divX=document.getElementById("one").offsetWidth; for example in file1a to modify the variable divX in file2a (I'm pretty sure this is not the best solution, but it works ;) ). Here, in this case, file1 and file2 are not parent, and they are just located in the same folder.
I tried <script type="text/javascript" src="file1.htm"> to access var but it doesn't seem to work.
Do you have any idea how I can accomplish this?
Thanks a lot!
(Here's my code :
file1.htm :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>SiteMap</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function OK(e){
var name = document.getElementById("dialog").value;
//Here I would like to do something like File2.NameSpace1 = name;
//And File2.modifyMyName(); // But here, it's another question, to use JS script in another file ;)
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body >
<form action='' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='userFile' onchange="OK()" id="dialog">
</form>
</body>
</html>
and file2.htm:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<title>SiteMap</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var NameSpace1;
function modifyMyName(){
document.GetElementById("first").src = NameSpace1;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img src ="" id="first" />
</div>
</body>
I know this won't work properly because there are some errors here in the syntax. But the problem is visible ;)
Thanks again :)
You can't simply modify the content of file on the server using client side code.
The examples you've cited just change the data that is loaded into the browser at the time the code runs while leaving the data on the server untouched.
There are two approaches you can take to this:
Store the changes in the browser.
In page one, use localstorage to record information about the change you want to make. (You'd probably want to convert the image into a data: scheme URL to achieve this given your example code).
In page two, have some more JS that reads from localstorage and uses that information to make the change to itself after it loads.
Send the changes to the server.
Submit a form (so you don't need to use client side code at all) or use Ajax to send information about the change to the server.
Have server side code read it and then store it in a session (if you want the change to be on a per-user basis) or somewhere more permanent (in a database if you are sensible but you could modify the file directly) (if you want it to be shared between users).
Page two would then be a server side program that would read that data and use it to generate the page.
You can use localStorage to perform this operation.
function OK(e){
var name = document.getElementById("dialog").value;
window.localStorage.setItem('dialogValue', "Name");
}
And In your file2.html
function modifyMyName(){
var NameSpace1 = window.localStorage.getItem('dialogValue');
document.GetElementById("first").src = NameSpace1;
}

detect when video finishes and redirect to web page

I've found various ideas on how to detect when a web video ends, but can't get the syntax right for the way I'm using javascript to play the video. Note that I'm using version 4 of the jwplayer.
Here is the HTML that uses swfobject.js and player.swf. It works fine, but I want to add code that detects when the video has finished at will then redirect to a web location using - window.location.href = http://www.webpage.com
Any help will be very appreciated! Here's the full page of HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>
</head>
<body lang=EN-US bgcolor='#000000'>
<center>
<p id='preview'></p>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','player1','640','381','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('flashvars','&file=mymovie.m4v&bufferlength=3&autostart=true&controlbar=bottom');
so.write('preview');
</script>
</center>
</body>
</html>
You need to use our JS API - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28851/javascript-api-reference
And, use our JW Embedder (Not SwfObject) - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/blog/15827/using-the-jw-embedder-to-embed-your-player
Then, the set up will look something like this:
<h2>Redirecting on complete</h2>
<div id="container">This'll be the player</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
file:"bunny.mp4",
flashplayer:"player.swf",
height:400,
width:600,
events:{
onComplete: function() {
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
}
}
});
</script>
Hope that helps!

Jquery get xml file

I'm trying to download a XML file via a jquery .get() request. unfortunately the returned data seems to be empty (0 length string), even if the browser downloads correctly the XML file (the request returns a 200 http code via firebug)
here's my code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Test sportevai<br/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://risultati.sportevai.it/sportevai_widget.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$.get('http://servername.com/xml/10225.xml', function(data) {
alert(data.length);
$('.xcf').html(data);
});
});
</script>
<div id="xcf">div response</div>
</body>
</html>
You can't get XML from a remote domain like this, you can only fetch JSONP. The same-origin policy prevents it. What will happen is exactly what you're experiencing, everything will appear normal except that the response will be empty.
You'll have to proxy the request through your domain/site or go a different route altogether, if you have to use XML. If you can fetch JSONP, you can do this strictly in JavaScript.
