I have a website (Flash) localized into a dozen of languages and I want to auto-define a default value depending on the user's browser settings in order to minimize the steps to access the content. FYI, I cannot use server-scripts due to proxy restrictions, so I guess JavaScript or ActionScript would be appropriate to solve the problem....
Can the iframe access its parent if i changed its src to "about:blank" after loading it in the parent page? Note: the iframe is in another domain not the same as the parent page. ...
A method to distribute elements evenly in a container using CSS appeared on Smashing Magazine today. I recently had to use Javascript to achieve the same effect for elements of variable width, but the method presented on SM made me wonder if it was possible to do this without Javascript. There's this question, where gargantaun says: ...

I am building a web-based annotation tool, where end users can select and annotate a section of text from an HTML document. Programmatically speaking, accessing and working with the selected text and corresponding range is straightforward using "window.getSelection" and "getRangeAt". I am running into a problem, however, when I try to...
Is it possible (and supported cross-browser) to embed an image into the XML of an AJAX response, and then load that image using JavaScript? I have a system that does some calculations based on the number of sessions running through it. The results are then graphed, and returned in two parts: 1) XML containing information about the grap...
I'm having a really annoying problem with debugging javascript with VS2008. If I simply press F5 (or choose 'start Debugging' from the Debug menu), the iexplore process is attached, but no breakpoints break in the scripts. The Script Documents tree doesn't even appear in the solution explorer. I already know: I can set a breakpoint i...

I want to replace the 'br' break tag (second to last line of code) with a tag that will provide spacing between a new name and zone. does not work. Simple but tricky for some reason. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD H...

I was for quite some time under the impression that a for loop could exist solely in the following format: for (INITIALIZER; STOP CONDITION; INC(DEC)REMENTER) { CODE } This is, however, most definitely not the case; take a look at this JavaScript implementation of the Fisher-Yates Shuffle: shuffle = function(o) { for (var ...
How can I translate this pseudo code into working js [don't worry about where the end date comes from except that it's a valid javascript date]. var myEndDateTime = somedate; //somedate is a valid js date var durationInMinutes = 100; //this can be any number of minutes from 1-7200 (5 days) //this is the calculation I don't know how ...

Variable scope in JS is confusing the hell out of me. In follwing code, if i use the setClient public method to set a clientID i can then access the value from inside the track method using the getClient method. I cannot however access the value of the private member 'version' this way (or any other private member).. i had assumed that v...

i'm working on a greasemonkey script for gmail in which it'd be very useful to know what function call is made when the "send" button is clicked. (i was unable to find this using firebug, but am relatively new to javascript debugging.) it seems that one should be able to detect this, i just don't know what tool(s) to use. thanks very mu...
I'm having a Javascript conflict. I have a vertical javascript left nav menu and a horizontal javascript time zone menu. Working code for both but when I call them within the same page, the menu tree does not work. If i take out the <SCRIPT src="timezone.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> tag the menu works fine but the time zone is nega...
During a bout of C# and WPF recently, I got to like C#'s properties: public double length_inches { get { return length_metres * 39.0; } set { length_metres = value/39.0; } } Noticing, of course, that length_metres may change from being a field to a property, and the code need not care. WPF can also bind UI elements to object p...
Say you have a javascript object like this: var data = { Name: 'Property Name', Value: '0' }; You can access the properties by the property name: var name = data.Name; var value = data["Value"]; But is it possible to get these values if you don't know the name of the properties? Does the unordered nature of these properties make it...
