Background: I'm writing a script (in VBA, if that matters) to input data into a web-based system. Some of the system's validation is only run when a field is focused, so I've been calling .Focus on the fields in VBA to force it to run. But that steals the systemwide focus; rather annoying if I am doing anything else while the job is run...
Something I've been learning (and teaching) in Software Engineering is that code duplication is the root of all evil. On the other hand, I find it quite hard to explain how this concept should be applied to the development of web apps. Allow me to clarify... Input & data validation can be an important part of a web app. Sometimes this ...

I am actually debugging an application for IE8 (after IE6, IE7 now IE8). I went received a bug in one of my interface when we were doing an action on a dropdown and I wondered why it wasn't happening before. I finally found out that a drop down (or a select) calling a method named "role()" directly wasn't supported. Does anyone know wh...

I'm confused, I regularly read talk of server-side JS, why would I want to use that? It seems like it would execute way slower than pretty much any other language, it also lacks many conventions that more sophisticated languages have. Is it possible to hand entire objects from the client to the server, manipulate them and return them ba...
I'm trying to write some javascript in an environment where square brackets are used for macro replacement, so they can't be used as normal in the script. If I create an array as an object with new Array() I can use push() and pop() to access the elements, but for native arrays I can't figure out a way to get to the elements without usi...
It seems that mouseup events are only fired when they are not in conjunction with a mousemove. In other words, push down on the left mouse button and let go, and mouseup is fired. But if you drag across the image and then let go, no mouseup is fired. Here is an example that shows this behavior: <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com...

Hello, I understand a few people have asked about JS support in Mechanize. My question might be a little bit different, and/or posed differently. I am looking to ignore the Javascript check and log in to a page that requires Javascript. The web site itself does not really need JS, but the developers felt they needed to require it for th...

The javascript that handles the communication/ exchange of data works in IE but not in Fi...

If the user does not respond, it logs him out. If he does, it pings to the ...
