Not sure if there is any Firefox add-on tool for checking JavaScript syntax, var declaration, or even pre-compiling available? I find out is very difficult to debug JavaScript in a web html page. I have to add some script there. When the scripts get very big or long, it stops working. Basically, there must be some bugs. It is very frus...

Whilst trying to get our app working in Firefox (I'm a big proponent of X-Browser support but our lead dev is resisting me saying IE is good enough). So I'm doing a little side project to see how much work it is to convert. I've hit a problem straight away. The main.aspx page binds to a webservice using the IE only method of adding beh...

Hi, I have a dropdown list that stores name/value pairs. The dropdown appears in each row of a gridview. The values in the dropdown correspond to a third attribute (data type) not persisted in the dropdown list. I'd like to create a client-side "lookup" table so that when a user chooses a dropdown value, the proper data type populates ...
I have a flash app in my page, and when a user interacts with the flash app, the browser/html/javascript stops receiving keyboard input. For example, in Firefox control-t no longer opens a new tab. However, if I click on part of the page that isn't flash, the browser starts receiving these events again. Is there anyway to programati...
Hi, I have an application in which most requests are submitted via AJAX, though some are submitted via "regular" HTTP requests. If a request is submitted and the user's session has timed out, the following JSON is returned: {"authentication":"required"} The JavaScript function which submits all AJAX requests handles this response by ...

This has been bugging me for some time and I usually work around it, but I'd be grateful if anybody can enlighten me on how I should do this properly. var base = function() { var controls = {}; return { i...
I need an easy way to allow users to upload multiple files at once (ie I need to allow a user to upload a folder). I do not wish to put the burden of zipping on the user. I would prefer to avoid Flash or variants if possible. I'm looking for a straight javascript / HTML solution if it is possible. Please note, this rules out the an...
I feel like this should be really easy to do, but I'm stumped. I need a way for Javascript to determine the type of an HTML element. It has the id, but the element itself could be a div, a form field, a fieldset, etc. Can anyone tell me how to do this? ...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to build a hoverable Jquery tooltip. This tooltip should appear when I hover over some element, and stay put if I choose to hover over the tooltip itself too. The tooltip should disappear only if I hover away from the original element or from the tooltip body. Based on an example I found, I managed to create thi...
I am currently updating a web app that uses ActiveX objects in client side code to manipulate some xml. Of course, this app only works in IE and I need to get it cross browser compatible. I am looking to get a javascript xml library to handle the cross browser oddities, and was wondering if the ASP.Net ajax library would work. I have ...
Is it possible to determine whether my web site is being accessed as a trusted site? In another question we determined that, in general, it is not prudent to have visibility to client IE settings. Would this qualify as an exception? The reason I'd like to do this is that some functions won't work unless the site is being accessed as a...
Let me preface this by saying I'm a complete newb when it comes to front-end (and back-end, for that matter) development. Please keep that in mind. There. So I've got a form that's a few pages long. To traverse the form all I'm doing is showing and hiding container divs. The last page is a confirmation page before submitting. It takes t...
Hi there, I'm trying to figure out how to restrict access to a page unless the page is navigated to from a specific "gate" page. Essentially I want the page to be unaccessible unless you're coming from the page that comes before it in my sitemap. I'm not certain this is even possible. If possible, can you limit your suggestions to using...
