jQuery.validate may have broken Facebox pop-up

My Facebox pop-up contains a form with a submit button. I also have a second button to open an unrelated Facebox pop-up that was working before I added jQuery.validate to the project. I need to validate the email and password fields prior to being submitted. I should add that these pop-ups are loaded via external .html files. This loade...

XMLHttpRequest returns status of 0 in Firefox 3.6.10 and up from cross origin requests.

Hi, I am developing an application that makes a cross origin AJAX request to an HTTP server written using Netty. An example of the type of Javascript code being executed is below. $.ajax({ type:"GET", url:"http://localhost:5000/someresource", data: { id1: "1", id2: "2" }, succes...

How do I catch Javascript functions that are being called?

I'm working with COGNOS, a very frustrating BI application that relies heavily on Javascript. Basically, when a <select> box is changed, the data on screen is refreshed, presumably by an AJAX function or something similar. I'd like to force this change using jQuery, but I'm not sure how to intercept the call it is making so I can duplica...

jQuery works from the Firebug console, but not on page load.

I'm very new to jQuery and javascript in general, so maybe there's something I've missed. I have a html page with a link to the latest version of jQuery in the head... <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; But any jQuery code that I try to execute anywh...

Bug with combination of: jQuery 1.4, ajax/json, Firebug Lite and IE 8

I had just about concluded that jQuery's ajax calls wouldn't work with JSON data in IE 8, no matter what I tried. I found that I could use the jQuery 1.3.2 library and this fixed the problem, but 1.4 simply would not play ball with JSON ajax requests. Even when the JSON data returned was so simple that there was no question of it being...

How do I use Firebug to see the actual contents of a table after its been filtered?

For example, after click the 1st cell of of the table on this page, I inspect the html with View/Page Source using Firefox and I notice the table identified with id="myTable" has all its rows even though only some rows are visible from the normal browser view. I dont understand why there is a difference? How could I use Firebug to see w...

How can Perl's WWW::Mechanize expand HTML pages that add to themselves with JavaScript?

As mentioned in a previous question, I'm coding a crawler for the QuakeLive website. I've been using WWW::Mechanize to get the web content and this worked fine for all the pages except the one with matches. The problem is that I need to get all these kind of IDs: <div id="ffa_c14065c8-d433-11df-a920-001a6433f796_50498929" class="areaMap...

alert() return different from console.log()?

Should I be using alert() for debugging; or is there a time to use alert() vs. console.log()? I see that alert() and console.log() can return different results. I assumed that they were similar functions but just returned in different places. Back story: my boss likes to see alerts() during development but I can't get the object detail...

Override Alert Message from an IFrame?

I've been trying to capture the alert dialog of an iframe unsuccessfully. The iframe is on a different subdomain but the same domain. This doesn't seem to log the output to Firebug from the iframe Alerts function alert(message) { console.info(message); } Do I need to reference the iframe by it's DOM layer somehow? Is wind...

What do the underscores mean in DOM object detail view? (Firebug)

Three (out of 8 or so) of the parameters in an object have an underscore at the beginning of their name. The underscores aren't in my json object and I can't decipher why Firebug would add them in. The same properties are listed later in the object but without the underscores. I'm sure it's trivial but I'm curious to know. Here's a scre...

Editor for firebug or 'how to embed a custom editor' in a firefox tab?

Firebug is great for javascript development, but doesn't allow to edit the code (the 'edit html' in the firebug is not usable, doesn't save the file and even if it did, it is just an plain text editor without any coloring). I usually have my editor opened next to Firefox, but the constant switching feels aarrgh! To have the editor insid...

Develop a software like FireBug?

I have a project and this project includes a module about web page html and css properties. I have to get all the html tags and their relative css properties and values in a hierarchical way like FireBug. What i mean may be more understandable if i show a pic: How can i retrieve css properties of html selectors of a web page like the...

Is the Webkit inspector (developer tools) a suitable replacement for Firebug yet?

The Safari & Chrome developer tools (webkit inspector) seem to have become quite advanced. Although I'm very used to Firebug and rely on it for development, I'm really flirting with the idea of trying to just make a complete switch to Chrome (since I browse almost exclusively with it anyway) and just learn to get use to it's web develope...

Any way to stop Javascript from failing silently?

One thing that is driving me nuts is how Javascript fails silently in many different situations. (removed example because it confuses the point of my question) Many times I have come across an error that will give an error message when typed into the Firebug console, but when it runs within the page script, it fails silently, even with...

Can I copy the list of HTTP requests made by a web page out of Firebug’s Net panel?

In the Firebug Net panel, you can get a list of all HTTP requests made for the current page. http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Net_Panel Is there a way copy this list as text, so that I can paste it somewhere else for my own records? I’m doing some optimisation work, and it’d be really handy to save the requests made for pages bef...
