I have an asp.net application that runs exclusively on IE7 (internal web site). When a user needs to enter data, I pop up a child window with a form. When the form closes, it calls javascript:window.opener.location.reload(true) so that the new data will display on the main page. The problem is that the browser complains that it must re...
I am using the mootools based Rokbox plugin, on one of my sites, and I can't figure out how to close it with javascript. I triggered the click event on the close button, but that did not work. I found the code in the rokbox source that is used to add the click listener this.closeButton.addEvent('click',function(e){new Event(e).stop();...

Part of our java application needs to run javascript that is written by non-developers. These non-developers are using javascript for data formatting. (Simple logic and string concatenation mostly). My question is how can I setup the execution of these scripts to make sure scripting errors don't have a major negative impact on the rest...
Question I'm wondering how different ExtendScript is from JavaScript? Could I theoretically hire a web developer who has JavaScript savvy to develop it without demanding an excessive amount of learning on their part?

I have a web application where there are number of Ajax components which refresh them selves every so often inside a page (its a dashboard of sorts). Now, I want to add functionality to the page so that when there is no Internet connectivity, the current content of the page doesn't change and a message appears on the page saying that th...
I'd like to create a "universal" debug logging function that inspects the JS namespace for well-known logging libraries. For example, currently it supports Firebug's console.log: var console = window['console']; if (console && console.log) { console.log(message); } Obviously, this only works in Firefox if Firebug is installed/enabl...
If I want to inject a globally scoped array variable into a page's client-side javascript during a full page postback, I can use: this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterArrayDeclaration("WorkCalendar", "\"" + date.ToShortDateString() + "\""); to declare and populate a client-side javascript array on the page. Nice and simple. But I want to ...

But, is there a better way to get the ID of the element and set the "src" or "data" parameter for the Object / Embed and have it instantly load up a new document? I...

I'm trying to incorporate some JavaScript unit testing into my automated build process. Currently JSUnit works well with JUnit, but it seems to be abandonware and lacks good support for AJAX, debugging, and timeouts. Has anyone had any luck automating (with ANT) a unit testing library such as YUI test, JQuery's QUnit, or jQUnit (http...
I've had a lot of trouble trying to come up with the best way to properly follow TDD principles while developing UI in JavaScript. What's the best way to go about this? Is it best to separate the visual from the functional? Do you develop the visual elements first, and then write tests and then code for functionality? ...

How do you access the response from the Request object in MooTools? I've been looking at the documentation and the MooTorial, but I can't seem to make any headway. Other Ajax stuff I've done with MooTools I haven't had to manipulate the response at all, so I've just been able to inject it straight into the document, but now I need to mak...
