I'm trying to call a function, test(), of an iframe from the parent document using the code subframe.test(); subframe refers correctly to the iframe, alert(subframe) returns [object HTMLIFrameElement], and the function runs in both IE7 and opera (9.23), but not firefox (3.0), chrome (3.0) or safari (3.03 beta windows). I assume these ...

I need to build a small "monitoring" scraper for a 3rd party website (it's an external website that has stats about our visitors). Unfortunately, this website is very hard to scrape through the normal "wget" mechanism, because it uses a ton of sophisticated JS, part of it generated by GWT. So my workaround was to create a GreaseMonkey s...

I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 today and I noticed in the list of new features they have an Orientation API that can detect the direction that your laptop/computer is tilted.

Why? >>> var details = [{score : 1}, {score: 2}, {score: 3}]; >>> details [Object score=1, Object score=2, Object score=3] >>> details.reduceRight(function(x, y) {return...
The context: I'm writing JavaScript to run an executable and tweak some registry entries on the client machine.

In an attempt to save space, I made a whole bunch of aliases for functions in my code. It works fine in FF, but now I'm trying to add support for IE and it's not happy. j=String; f0=j.fromCharCode; j=j.prototype; j.f1=j.indexOf; j.f2=j.lastIndexOf; j.f3=j.concat; j.f4=j.substring; function alias(c,e){return function(){return c[e].apply...
