Hi, I want to write a web crawler that can interpret JavaScript. Basically its a program in Java or PHP that takes a URL as input and outputs the DOM tree which is similar to the output in Firebug HTML window. The best example is Kayak.com where you can not see the resulting DOM displayed on the browser when you 'view source' but can sav...

I am working on a relatively complex JavaScript-driven website. It runs great in all browsers except Internet Explorer (7, this particular version is our corporate standard). I am getting this very curious error: "A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line: 93,865,600. Error: Expected ';'" The issue is, I don't have ...
I'm trying to use jQuery to find the number of divs that are both visible, and have a background color of Green. (Normally I'd just add a class to the div, style it green, and check for that class in jQuery but in this instance, I can't actually change the markup of the page itself in any way) I currently have the visible div part work...
I'm not sure why this isn't working. I don't have any errors, but what happens is, no matter what marker I click on, it always clicks the last marker. Im not sure why though because the_marker is set up the same way. How can I fix this?: (Updated with new jQuery + XML) $(function(){ var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(45.522015,-12...

Douglas Crockford describes the consequence of Javascript inquiring a node's style. How simply asking for the margin of a div causes the browser to 'reflow' the div in the browser's rendering engine four times. So that made me wonder, during the initial rendering of a page (or in Crockford's jargon a "web scroll") is it faster to write...
Yes, I am having issues with this very basic (or so it seems) thing. I am pretty new to JS and still trying to get my head around it, but I am pretty familiar with PHP and have never experienced anything like this. I just can not empty this damn array, and stuff keeps getting added to the end every time i run this. I have no idea why, ...

I'm already familiar with how to use onSubmit to evaluate form content against RegEx to ensure it meets static parameters for acceptable content. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to further provide validation against a MySQL database, such as if you want to make sure an e-mail address hasn't been used yet before submitting a form...
Is there a more efficient way to write the following appendChild / nesting code? var sasDom, sasDomHider; var d = document; var docBody = d.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]; var newNode = d.createElement('span'); var secondNode = d.createElement('span'); // Hider dom newNode.setAttribute("id", "sasHider"); docBody.appendChild(newNode); ...
Hi, I'm trying to use next() to toggle a div. The problem is that the "trigger" is in a different div than the one I want to toggle. An example that works: $("span.trigger").click(function(){ $(this).next("div.task_description").slideToggle("fast"); }); <span class="trigger">The trigger</span> <div class="task_description "> ...
Edit: Maybe I made the question more complex than it should. My questions is this: How do you make API calls to a server from JS. I have to create a very simple client that makes GET and POST calls to our server and parses the returned XML. I am writing this in JavaScript, problem is I don't know how to program in JS (started to look in...

I would like to specify that firefox select a range. I can do this easily with IE, using range.select();. It appears that FFX expects a dom element instead. Am I mistaken, or is there a better way to go about this? I start by getting the text selection, converting it to a range (I think?) and saving the text selection. This is where I'm...
