A program which has to communicate with the X windows system must be runned by a user which has a running X session. Did you started the window manager as root ? ( This is highly unrecommended. ) Can you start any other program which has graphical interface ( xterm, xclock, xmms... ) ? ... I...

serious newbie question here ... does this code look familiar to anyone <span class="page" onmouseover="this.style.background='#f7f7f7'" onmouseout="this.style.background=''" onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('Pager','8')"> 8 </span> ... I'd assumed it was javascript, but probably I'm wrong...

That's probably a good idea Baby* I know abosolutely nothing about .net, but the code does tend to suggest that this is javascript <span class="page" onmouseover="this.style.background='#f7f7f7'" onmouseout="this.style.background=''" onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('Pager','8')"> 8 </span>...

if it's in the .net arch, then why is it denoted as javascript:__doPostBack I don't see this piece of the script being sent server-side, it appears to be a client-side script with no corresponding function. Maybe I'm missing something ??

I'm looking at someone's javascript here in my console. The javascript has a onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('Pager','2')" function in it. The only problem is though, that there is no __doPostBack function on the html or the .js file. What does the __ mean to javascript ?? Why does the...

Ok, I got some help over on the mozilla IRC. I got a moz-remote program that works fine as a substitution. http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/remote.c But I have one remaining problem with the script. It works as is #!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 0 ] then echo " For the \"$0\" script, you...

This is kinda strange I input root@ubuntu:/home/babo/Desktop/spider_proj # firefox -remote "openFile(spider)" (firefox-bin:13053): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers Error: No running window found ... and it automatically opens up some kinda spiderman webpage off the web. I then...

Oops ... I think that was me ... thanks feherke. Unforutnately though it doesn't work either way and just gives me a root@ubuntu:/home/babo/Desktop/spider_proj # mozilla -remote "openURL(http://www.example.com,new-tab)" (firefox-bin:8303): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers Error...

Ya, you do ... put I have it launched already and it still doesn't work ???? Ah well ... it's probably an Xorg bug ...

Hi phv, no luck I'm afraid. Even this doesn't work firefox -remote "openURL(http://www.tek-tips.com,new_tab)" ... the funny thing is that it worked last night though ???

Thanks phv, I seem to be getting a weird error though. I got it last night as well but I just rebooted and it went away, unfortunately I don't have such success this morning .... (firefox-bin:7460): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers Error: No running window found when I try the...

hi guys ... this is the last piece of the puzzle ??? anyone got any ideas ???? then I'll buzz off ... promise ! <fingers crossed> :) thanks

Thanks phv, that's kinda like it but I actually want my sed command to just take in a "$f" and then modify it and pass it along to the firefox -remote command to open it in my browser. I'm parsing a load of files (webpages) on my computer, and if those pages have the keyword in them (in this...

Ok thanks guys, just one more question find . -type f | while read f do if grep -q 'university' "$f" then echo "$f" > file.links && sed 's_^./_http://_' "$f" && firefox -remote "openURL(\"$f\",new_tab) else continue fi done I want to sed my file.links so that they give me properly formed...

thanks feherke, I'm having a bit of a 'double quotes inside a double quotes' problem though. This is my code find . -type f | while read f do if grep -q 'string' "$f" then echo "$f" >> file.links && firefox -remote "openURL("$f",new-tab)" else continue fi done ... now I realize that this is...
