I'm creating an XML Document in javascript on the client side, and then transforming it back to a string to send to the server. Mozilla has a handy method to accomplish this: XMLSerializer().serializeToString(), which I'm using. However, there seems to be a bug in this method: it returns all node names in uppercase and all attribute name...
Is there a way to validate on the client side browser whether the size of a file being uploaded from a JSP page is over a set size limit without forcing the user to upload the entire file only to find out it was too large? I would like to stay away from any proprietary controls or techniques like Flash or ActiveX if possible. Thanks! ...
For all major browsers (except IE), the JavaScript onload event doesn't fire when the page loads as a result of a Back button operation - it only fires when the page is first loaded. Can someone point me at some sample cross-browser code (Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE ...) that solves this problem? I'm familiar with Firefox's pageshow eve...
I've got a request from a customer to automatically detect the type of mobile device (not the browser, the type. ex: Moto Q, Blackjack II, etc.) and automatically select the device from a drop down with a list of supported devices. So far I've found that the HTTP Headers (submitted by mobile IE) contain information such as Resolution ...

I have a website where we use Javascript to submit the login form. On Firefox it prompts the user to remember their password, when they login, but on IE7 it doesn't. After doing some research it looks like the user is only prompted in IE7 when the form is submitted via a Submit control. I've created some sample html to prove this is t...

I'd like to check if the current browser supports the onbeforeunload event. The common javascript way to do this does not seem to work: if (window.onbeforeunload) { alert('yes'); } else { alert('no'); } Actually, it only checks whether some handler has been attached to the event. Is there a way to detect if onbeforeunload is s...
I'm trying to use CSS (under @media print) and JavaScript to print a one-page document with a given piece of text made as large as possible while still fitting inside a given width. The length of the text is not known beforehand, so simply using a fixed-width font is not an option. To put it another way, I'm looking for proper resizing...
I am wondering if there is a way to combine multiple images into a single image using only JavaScript. Is this something that Canvas will be able to do. The effect can be done with positing, but can you combine them into a single image for download? Update Oct 1, 2008: Thanks for the advice, I was helping someone work on a js/css onl...

I want to use modal pop-up windows in our web app in Ruby on Rails. Note that I don't want to create a new browser window, but a sub-window inside the existing webpage.

I want to resize the font of a SPAN element's style until it the SPAN's text is 7.5 inches wide when printed out on paper, but JavaScript only reports the SPAN's clientWidth property in pixels. <span id="test">123456</span> And then: #test { font-size:1.2in; /* adjust this for yourself until printout measures 7.5in wide */ } And ...
When I have a regular textbox in a UpdatePanel (not an ASP.NET control) with some JavaScript events on it, after the UpdatePanel updates my events are gone. Is there a way to re-attach my events after the update? (Preferably without putting my events inline). ...
Does anyone have an example of script that can work reliably well across IE/Firefox to detect if the browser is capable of displaying embedded flash content. I say reliably because I know its not possible 100% of the time. ...
What types of JavaScript scripts do find most useful in your work? What tasks do you use JavaScript for the most? Are there scripts that you wished were out there but just haven't been able to find?

Let's say I've got a website that works better if a client has installed and logged into a desktop application. I'd like to be able to do 2 things: Alter the website if they haven't installed the app (to make it easy for them to find a link to the installer) If they've installed the app on a couple of machines, determine which machine...
