So I'm generating HTML files, and I am uploading them to OneDrive for other faculty and staff. These reports rely on JavaScript to neatly highlight the rows, and when I view the files directly in OneDrive the JavaScript does not display. Viewing the files in the browser works fine.
Is there a way to enable JavaScript when viewing these in OneDrive? Should I upload them to SharePoint instead to enable JavaScript, or would it be easier to do something else?
If it matters, the JavaScript is inside a script tag within the head of the document, and is called as follows:
<head>
<script>
function warnings(){
/* function logic */
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="warnings()">
<!--tables and the like-->
</body>
Do they have to remain HTML Files? You could convert them to PDF using the HTML2PDF library, and simply upload the PDF file which would include the highlights that were on the HTML file. Unless it as to be an HTML file uploaded for some reason or another.

I am developing a Google App Script project that will be used right from within a Google Sheet, with HTML files as dialogs. My project will be a mix of .gs files as well as HTML files for data entry, etc. I am trying to use the methodology explained here:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/best-practices#separate_html_css_and_javascript
to create global JavaScript and CSS modules that I can include in my HTML files rather than cutting and pasting inline code all over the place. This will be mainly useful for the data-saving routines which capture form data, serialize it, then save it to Sheets via the methodology outlined here (and many other places): http://railsrescue.com/blog/2015-05-28-step-by-step-setup-to-send-form-data-to-google-sheets/.
The problem I am having is with trying to call the "include" statement from my HTML files, namely, lines like:
<?!= include('JavaScript'); ?>
It doesn't work when I create a menu on the spreadsheet to display my HTML file as a dialog -- the text of the include line just shows up as literal output on the dialog, and code does not appear to be getting included (not in scope).
I know the Google example is primarily for pages delpoyed via a web app, but I'd like to use my HTML files as dialogs right inside the spreadsheet (e.g. from a menu or sidebar) -- that feels nice and tidy to me. But if I can't get includes to work, my code base is going to be a nightmare and it will be really, really hard to standardize CSS across the whole app. I don't want to be cutting and pasting all the time.
So, what is the secret behind this <?! tag, and why won't it work in my HTML files when they are called as dialogs? It is clear those lines are different from the get-go (maybe not in a bad way, but they don't work), as the Google Scripting console displays those lines oddly, as depicted in the screenshot below:
Please try adding:
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
More information can be found in Adding Style Sheets.
Figured it out. I was not properly understanding the way the HTML was being served up as a dialog. I was using this behind a custom menu option:
var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(htmlFileName);
when I should have been using the more dynamic:
var html = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(htmlFileName).evaluate();
The latter generates a user interface object where the server-side script is executed and everything is included properly when I display the object with showModalDialog() (or showSidebar()).
I just had a complete misunderstanding of how the user interface object was being created, so now all scripting works inside my HTML files.
I am attempting to use a javascript chessboard here: http://chessboardjs.com/ . Unfortunately, I don't know javascript or CSS, and am rusty in HTML, so I don't understand the documentation, even though this seems to be a standard javascript chessboard.
How exactly does one install and use this package in order to render a chessboard? The "examples" are all snippets of HTML or javascript, useless to me without being embedded in a working web page. And the source to sample web pages do not work when copied to my home directory. For example, the web page http://chessboardjs.com/examples/1000 here purports to render and empty board, and does on their server, but when I copy the source to my local directory, only a blank page renders. The source of that page does not make sense to me anyway, for example, it refers to files "js/chessboard.js" and "js/json3.min.js" , neither of which are in the distribution. (Nor does the render work when "chessboard.js" is replaced with the name of the javascript file in the distribution).
I assume the issue has something to do with where img files are searched for, and where files are stored. And presumably these are so obvious to javascript experts that it's all implicit in this package and aren't ever explained in the documentation.
So, what I would like is a file foo.html that, when copied to my local machine, will render a chessboard using the chessboard.js source.
Create a new text file, and paste this inside:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Chess</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/chessboard-1.0.0.min.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/chessboard-1.0.0.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="board1" style="width: 400px"></div>
<script>
var board1 = ChessBoard('board1', 'start');
</script>
</body>
</html>
Then save it with the .html or .htm extension.
Next, download their distributable from their download page. And unzip the folder.
Next, put your HTML file in the same folder as the js, img, and css folders from the unzipped distributable.
Double click/Run the HTML file. The URL should say file:///C:/path/to/the/file.html.

I'm developing a web application and I want add a js file in my project to use it. I tried to add in this way:
<spring:url value="/resources/scripts/gestion.js" var="gestion"/>
<script src="${gestion}" type="text/javascript"></script>
The js loads correctly, but the problem is that the page is not showing anything, if I put this code in the end of the jsp file, before of tag <div> the jquery and another js file of the project not work although I can see the content of the jsp.
Somebody can help me with this?
You should include it into src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/tags/util/load-scripts.tagx file.
This tag is used by src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/layouts/default.jspx which is used by Apache Tiles configuration file src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/layouts/layouts.xml to generate the final html output.
Good luck!
I'm pretty new to web development. What is the best practice in keeping the same sidebar and other elements across web pages on one's site? Do you store the sidebar html and call that? If so, how would one go about doing something like that?
There're many options to handle this problem but I've found easy one using jQuery. Use this if it suits your requirements.
Add the jQuery CDN in your HTML file.
Create a JS file as sidebar.js.
Copy all your HTML code of the sidebar and store as a string variable in a function of the JS file. as
function loadNavbarDiv() {
String navbar_code_str = '<nav><div>...</div></nav>
$('body').append(navbar_code_str);
}
Then in the HTML file, you want to add navigation bar, add folowing code in your <head>
<script src="sidebar.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
loadNavDiv();
});
</script>
It's working fine for me.
Happy coding!
Here's one way to do it: use "include" files. No JavaScript required. The server does the work, instead of requiring the client to add the content.
SSI, or Server Side Includes, were first developed to allow Web
developers to "include" HTML documents inside other pages. If your Web
server supports SSI, it's easy to create templates for your Web site.
Save the HTML for the common elements of your site as separate files.
For example, your navigation section might be saved as navigation.html
or navigation.ssi.
Use the following SSI tag to include that HTML in each page.
<!--#include virtual="path to file/include-file.html" -->
Use that same code on every page that you want to include the file.
That page also describes some other approaches. But if you know this is called using include files, you can search for it more easily. For example, this article describes includes and how to call them from JavaScript if you must.
As long as you're only coding in html, you will need to copy your html into every page. You can store the css for the sidebar in one and the same file and call that on every page though.
Other scripting languages and frameworks might contain templates (php) or master pages (asp.net) for example which make it possible to use the same code in different pages.
I'm completly new to wordpress. I just want to use single javascript snippet on a page. For example:
<script>
function myFunction(){
//do something
}
</script>
// a bit later
<input type="button" name="testButton" onclick="myFunction()">
And in developers console in Chrome I get an error: "Refused to execute a JavaScript script. Source code of script found within request."
I've done some research and I think that I know it's origin - it seems that I have to add an external file with my javascript code. The bad thing is, that I have literally no idea how to do it, in spite of researching for the past few hours. Maybe it's very easy and I'm missing the simple solution, but I just don't know how to upload .js file. I've bumped into some topics saying that I have to use a php function, wp_enqueue_script(), but it still needs the .js file to be uploaded to wordpress server. Do I have to upload it as Media, a page, or what? And still, if I have to upload a javascript file each single time when I want to change something, application development will be a pain in the butt...
So is there maybe an easy way to put my javascript function definition in the same file where the function is used? That would be possibly the easiest solution.
Adding external Javascript files is probably the way to go. You upload them in the same way you would do if this was a regular HTML site, (ie using FTP or something similar).
Then you can reference it in the header.php file (accesible under the Appearance -> Editor in Wordpress).
Some themes allow you to add Javascript to the top/bottom of each page, you may want to check if your theme allows that. (check the manual with the theme or their support).
Add this whole code in header.php file of your WordPress and add
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
before your code.
