    Read database on drop down change

    Yip, they're playing... what was that game again - OH yes, cricket? At least England had the excuse of almost making it despite giving away 4 points - we just threw ours away. As for doing it in Javascript with PHP providing the data - yes you can. The down side is you either have to send all...

    Save as dialog box

    Hi, Not sure you can open a &quot;save as&quot; dialog box in javaScript. Assuming you can, the 'onload' event on the <body> tag only fires once the page is completely loaded. <body onload=&quot;functionAfterPageLoads()&quot;> Cheers, Richard (Johannesburg, South Africa)

    Hi, OK, so register a session variable with the logged is user's name, for example: <?php $user = &quot;john&quot;; // from $_POST probably session_register(user); ?> Then in your HTML code: <input id=&quot;user&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;<?php echo $user; ?>&quot;>...

    Opening a popup window only if a condition is met

    Hi, You dont say how you know if the user is logged in or not, so here is some psudo JavaScript code (give me more details if you need more specific code): <a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;navigate()&quot;>link</a> function navigate(){ if(loggedIn){...

    Dependent drop down menu

    Hi, What you want to do has very little to do with JavaScript. What you are looking for is a server-side technology like PHP or ASP to achieve your goal. You would start with one drop down. After selecting you would return to the server, get the appropriate data for the next drop down from a...

    Running a program on dial-up

    Hi All I have a web based application that creates and queues email to be sent via SMTP when a client machine dials-up. What I need to be able to do is run a program that processes the queue when a dial-up connection is made. I am not looking to create the dial-up connection (aka rasdial), I...

    Caching Javascript .js files

    Hi All I have a problem with my browser (IE) caching .js files even when clearing my cache. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an apache solution or do I have to find a source code/IE solution? Thanks Cheers Richard (Johannesburg, South Africa)

    JavaScript Caching

    Hi Nico I'll give that a try, thanks. Johannesburg is fine, warm, sunny, no wind - perfect! Been very little rain though so the garden is looking poorly, but otherwise a perfect summer. As a Rhodesian/Zimbabwean expat and later a Durban expat I am not too fond of winter here, but summer is...

    JavaScript Caching

    Hi All There was a previous thread on this, but I was wondering if there is a better solution out there now (the thread is over a year old). I have a problem with .js files caching in IE5.5 and 6.0. Clearing all temporary files does not clear cached .js files. I have tried the...

    Testing for open popup window

    Hi All I have an application using IE only as the client. The app sometimes opens popup windows for various reasons/functions. I open the popup with this ('xpopup' is a global JavaScript variable): xpopup = window.open(url,&quot;&quot;,features); On closing the popup I set xpopup to false. On...

    Lock tab sequence

    Hi Gary If the available methods are not reliable, then I agree with you to forget it (I have a similar problem making child windows &quot;modal&quot; using a combination of mouse capture and 'onfocus' events on the child and parent windows). As a way of explaination as to why I need this (and...

    Lock tab sequence

    Hi All Is there a way to lock tab sequence to a set of form elements (i.e. prevent tab from also going to the body, images etc.)? I would like to keep focus on valid input fields when a user tabs between them. Thanks. Cheers, Richard (Johannesburg, Shout Africa)

    Get currently focussed field

    Thanks very much (another star). I thought something to give you the &quot;activeElement&quot; would be a logical thing for a DOM to have. Pity it's only IE (like many useful things I have to admit). Cheers Richard

    Submit a form by the click of a radio button

    Hi Steve You can do this with the onclick event for the radio button like this: onclick=&quot;document.forms[x].submit()&quot; Replace the x with the number of the form you want to submit (numbering starts at 0). A better way may be to call a function which submits the form in the same way...
