Thanks.

Hello All,

I am trying to call a javascript which was updated via Ajax.However only the older script keeps on running and the new script doesn't run.Here is what I have

HTML page like the one below

<form action="javascript:submitmyform();" name="sms"> <div id="contents"> <script type="text/javascript"> function a() { alert("a"); } </script> </div> <input type="text" name="myname"/> </form>

and I have a Ajax Code which is given below

function alertContents() { if (http_request.readyState == 4) { if (http_request.status == 200) { //alert(http_request.responseText); result = http_request.responseText; document.getElementById('contents').innerHTML = result; } else { alert('There was a problem with the request.'); } } }

I am updating the existing javascript with a new one. so the "result" which is assigned to the innerHTML would be

<script type="text/javascript"> function a(){ alert("Update from server"); } </script>

Only it alerts "a". And show Update from Server.

PS:Even with eval() it shows the same older version of function named "a" and doesn't alert me with " update from server" text .Since I have made some script with common function name "a" throughout my website reworking on it would be a real problem

However all other Ajax functionality like displaying a text works perfectly fine with the given script.
Please help and thanks for your reply in advance

Dear users,
i have generated my applet code from the server using <jsp:plugin> tag.It works well in Internet explorer but does not work in firefox.It shows 'missing plugin'.Although other applet applications work well in firefox and does not show "missing plugin".I even tried reinstalling the JRE but nothing happened. Here is the code i tried

<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="mypackage.myApplet" width="450" height="350"> <jsp:params>...</jsp:params> <jsp:fallback> Your browser does not support applets. </jsp:fallback> </jsp:plugin>

Is there any workaround for this problem.

Thank you

Dear ranchers,

I am really interested in exploring the Java Card technology.I would like to get some innovative idea with the usage of smart cards(an application) which is really useful.Since the Java Card technology can also provide JSP pages it would be really nice if any one could suggest an idea for its usage.Any comments are welcome

Thanks

Thanks a lot Bear Bibeault for your reply

I am planning to develop a simple tool checker that can warn,suggest and/or eliminate browser compatibility issues targeting four majorly used web browsers safari,Internet explorer and Mozilla firefox and Opera.As it is well known that javaranch is a forum where experienced people participate and share their ideas I request experienced folks to share(or brain storm ) their "Well Known" Compatibility issues they have experienced so that i could enhance/improve my targets in designing the tool.Further I humbly request the moderators to make to make this thread as "Sticky" for a certain period of time so that I could get valuable and known compatibility issues from ranchers.Further I greatly apologize if i have violated the forum rules in requesting this favor and the thread may be deleted if it violates this.

Thanks for help and support in this regard

I would like to know whether there is a better Idea to know the status of the checkbox(whether it is checked or not).My idea is to have a hidden field and change its value via javascript so that it may be altered.Any suggestions would really help me

Thank you so much Bear Bibeault for your reply.Thats really amazing .You have got a great experience in this field

Thanks Martijn Verburg the warning and error messages vanished.But i still have one more problem.Instead of getting the logs inside my WEB-INF directory inside my server(Inside the project folder/build/web/WEB-INF/logs) ,I have got a new folder called WEB-INF created at my E:\ (E:\WEB-INF\logs) drive where my netbeans project resides.Could you please tell me what the problem is.

Thanks a lot

Yes ofcourse the URL of the anchor tag contains all the information about where what request to send but my question was i would like to direct it to same JSP page but based on the gadget selected the page has to display unique information.Sorry for not framing the question clearly

I am currently doing a sample application.Right now I have a JSP page that generates a list of Gadgets from the database.(As shown in (1))

<sql:query var = "mygadgets" dataSource="${dataSource}"> select gad_user_name from gadget where gad_user_id=? <sql:param value="${cookie.scrName.value}"/> </sql:query> <c:forEach var="gads" items="${mygadgets.rows}"> <li> ${gads.gad_user_name}</li>--------------------------------(1) </c:forEach>



I would like to make them as Links and when the user selects a link i would like to display the information about that gadget
like gadget name,Gadget manufacturer id etc... in a JSP page

suppose if i modify the dynamic generation of my list as links like the one mentioned below


<c:forEach var="gads" items="${mygadgets.rows}"> <a > <li> ${gads.gad_user_name}</li></a>--------------------------------(2) </c:forEach>

How should i design my JSP page

ie how to know which particular gadget link was clicked?.. so that i could populate the related information in a JSP Page.

Please help me.

Yes i did the modifications.But still i get the same error.

Here is my log4j.properties
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.stdout.target=/WEB-INF/logs/error.log log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout

and my error messages

log4j:WARN No such property [target] in org.apache.log4j.FileAppender. log4j:WARN File option not set for appender [stdout]. log4j:WARN Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender? log4j:ERROR No output stream or file set for the appender named [stdout].

Sorry for requerying again.Please help me.

Thank you Bauke Scholtz and Bear Bibeault for your reply

catch(Exception e){ throw new Exception(); try{ //statement 1 //statement 2 //Statement 3 } catch(Exception e) {} //statement 4

If this is written inside a method this exception will be thrown further to the bottom of the stack.Also
if error occours in statement 2 the statement 3 will not be executed and then the statement 4 will run as usual.
I hope this solves the issue
