Persistent cookies via Javascript

Hi, I'm writing an app that requires setting cookies via Javascript. Problem is that, using Internet Explorer, although I can set and retrieve them during a browser session, they disappear upon closing the browser, even when I set an expiry date a significant length of time into the future (days, years, whatever...). This doesn't appear to make any difference whether the site is accessed on localhost or on a remote server. (Actually, the real problem is that different IE6 windows don't share cookies- which I need- but this appears to be down to them being treated as session coo

"post-assignment" operator ?

I've had the need to save an array element just before updating it to a new value: oldValue= array[index]; array[index]= newValue; doSomethingWith(oldValue) If instead wanted to post-increment/decrement it I could have written just : doSomethingWith( array[index]++ ); which is shorter, clearer, and does not need any temp. var. So, my question/idea (I hope it's not too dumb) is, why not to have a "post-assignment" operator ? One that given the expression: `aReference *postAssignmentOperator* newValue` would assign newValue to aReference but would return the value that it

strange problem with external script

Sorry if I'm doing something stupid, but I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong... I wrote a function in an external script, which is included in my page with this tag "<script src="pythonic.js></script>". The function extends String. prototype as follows: String.prototype.title = function(){ var s = []; var ss = this.split(' '); for(i in ss) s.push(ss[i].slice(0,1).toUpperCase() + ss[i].slice(1).toLowerCase()); return s.join(' '); } (This function capitalises all the first letters of each word in a string). The problem is that when used from an external script, i

list (array) comprehensions in standard javascript

Hi there, As a python fan, I was excited about the imlementation of pythonic array comprehensions and other goodies in javascript 1.7 and newer versions by Mozila which, as we all know, were finally not included in the latest standard version of ecmascript. I wonder if there is any way to get these features working on all browsers. Has anyone written a library? Can anyone recommend an implementation? I wouldn't want to use one of those different languages implemented on javascript, such as coffescript and the likes. I would just like to use aarray comprehensions implemented as a

Nasty Word Elimination ?

Hi: I have an <textarea> 254 chars here allowed</textarea> on my upcoming web site. Because my north american users will be alllowed to enter anything they wish in this text area, and because all other users will be allowed to view this same text area, I am concerned that disruptive users may wish to vent their spleen using language that will cause my other users to stop visiting the site. Question: Is there any .exe (or website) that I can use to 'clean up' an abusive text area input ?? Such that a set of text up to 254 chars can be returned with replace

Preserving Login status

What is the best way to preserve login status for succeeding pages? Should I save it in a Cookie? Or is there some way to preserve it in a global variable? Or is there some other way? I assume I test for this login status is to use an "onload" event. Right? Thanks..... Bruce

document.print in XHTML

I am using a ultra-simple PHP counter, that counts number of visits in a plain txt file counter.txt, e.g. index 10 pictures 8 cv 6 To display the number of visits, I use this combination: &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="counter.txt">&lt;/script> .... Number of visits: &lt;script type="text/ javascript">document.write(pictures)&lt;/script> This ultra-simple thing works perfect in HTML, but not in XHTML, since XHTML does not support document.write any more. Is there a way around for this problem? Thanks, Marko.

JavaScript for Form (using CGI formmail) that sends user a copy of the form data

I have a form that collects field data, validates the data and sends it (on submit) to a specific email address and to a text file. This is done through a CGI form mail program. The form works well for this, but I=92d like to add some functionality using JavaScript. The functionality I=92d like to have is: When the form submits, and email is sent to the specific email, I=92d also like the same email sent to the person submitting the form. One of the fields on the form contains the email address of the person filling out the form(senderEmail). I=92d like to have the value of that f

FAQ Topic - How do I make a 10 second delay? (2010-08-25)

----------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Topic - How do I make a 10 second delay? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no built-in way to pause execution in javascript such as a sleep function, but hosts usually provide a method of some form. Web browsers are designed for event driven programming and only provide the `setTimeout` and `setInterval` functions to facilitate timed delays. The delay before calling `getSnork` may exceed the second parameter to `setTimeout` and `setInterval` due to implementatio

un-"hijacking" a stolen website

hi folks I recently discovered that my domain has been "hijacked" without permission by someone who purchased a domain, obviously set up forwarding at the dns level, in some kind of stupid attempt to hijack hits (or something) from my site. My actual site does appear under his domain-name, and I tested by updating a page, and it also updates, meaning he has forwarding which keeps his domain name in the browser window. I'm an html coder, not too "up" on JS, but I did use a simple function to prevent my pages from being "locked" into other frames like hotmail pages, etc.

FAQ Topic - Why do I get permission denied when accessing a frame/window? (2010-08-24)

----------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Topic - Why do I get permission denied when accessing a frame/window? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the normal browser security model, a script may only access the properties of documents served from the same domain or IP address, protocol, and port. Any attempt to access a property in such cases will result in a "Permission Denied" error. Signed scripts or trusted ActiveX objects can overcome this in limited situations. <URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/

FAQ Topic - How do I close a window and why does it not work on the first one? (2010-08-23)

----------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Topic - How do I close a window and why does it not work on the first one? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If a window was opened by javascript, then it can be closed without confirmation by using `windowRef.close()`. Before calling `windowRef.close()` (or other `window` methods), make sure the window reference is not null and its `closed` property is `false`. Popup windows cause usability problems and are generally best avoided. <URL: http://www.useit.com/alertb

AJAX Firefox/IE problem

I have a routine containing AJAX that will not work under Firefox but does work under IE. I have the following debug code in the routine. if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4){ alert("readyState: " + xmlhttp.readyState); alert("status: " + xmlhttp.status); } The first alert works. The second works under IE. Under Firefox an error is returned in the Error Console, xmlhttp is not defined. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks... Bruce
