Hi all, I need to get a large amount of data back from a server via ajax. It will take a bit of time to get to the browser. The second time the user goes back to same web page I don't want them to have to download the data via ajax again. Is there anyway Javascript can write the json data to the browsers cache or filesystem reliably? C...
Hi folks, I have a simple web based app that's going to run on an iPad. What I need is a way to store user inputs: email and lat/lng from a Google Map. I don't really have access to a serverside setup at the moment. It needs to be fairly secure as I can't give out the users email obviously. I would like to be able to post from my web a...

Specifically, if I look in the post data in Firebug I am sending: info {'mid':1,'sid':27,'name':'aa','desc':'Enter info' } Yet when I access it in the django request I am seeing: u'{\'mid\':1,\'sid\':27,\'name\':\'aa\',\'desc\':\'Enter Info\'}...
Hey guys, I've been reading about node.js lately. I've seen many articles about how it's really great and all from some prominent people. Given the inertia that this project seems to have, and that I am currently learning javascript and jQuery, the project has gotten my attention. I get that many people are excited about it, but I don't ...
Is there a reliable way of detecting if a browser supports the <script> attribute "defer" without testing? I'm not interested in creating multiple script blocks both defered and not and seeing which executes first. I'm looking for legitimate feature detection. "defer" in document.createElement("script") returns true just about everywhere...
I have a JavaScript regular expression which basically finds two-letter words. The problem seems to be that it interprets accented characters as word boundaries. Indeed, it seems that A word boundary ("\b") is a spot between two characters that has a "\w" on one side of it and a "\W" on the other side of it (in either order), ...

Hi! I'm doing some web development, and I'd like to use an associative array in my code. I've used hashtables in other design work, and they definitely do the trick. However, when I try to call "var coms = new Hashtable();", I get errors stating that there is no class hashtables. I've read that in JS all objects ARE hashtables, so I su...

Hi, I have created some div(s) on a page. Depending on the browser (or may be any other settings) I want to change the width of these div(s). Now, if I embed style=" blah blah blah...; width:200px" inside div tag, its ok. But I want this 200px to be, say, 220 sometime or 230 or 240 other times. So what I want now to calculate my requir...
Slightly related to my other question, how do I execute JavaScript from an Obj-C/C++ program on OSX? (I think JavaScript will allow me to do what I need to, even though AppleScript doesn't. According to the Photoshop documentation anyway.) I need it to be able to interact with Photoshop. ...
