I use base64 animated GIF on my web page, when I try to reload page GIF still show last frame. How can I reload GIF from its beginning?
I tried use JS to clear innerHTML and then assign it back to my base64 GIF, but nothing happened.
I am also using C# and CefSharp (tried use Refresh() and chromeBrowser.GetBrowser().Reload()), would be great to get any tips how to make GIF play from its beginnig.
I use base64 because I cannot store image on users hard drive or Web, but I need to put this image into HTML, which can be loaded by CefSharp using C#. If there are any other ways to use animated image in HTML without storing it on HDD or web, please give me some tips too.
Update:
I decided to leave base64 because big size of my gifs (>25 Mb) cause lags and problems with reload.
I use CEFSharp v55-pre01 and found new problem.
What do I have:
Main menu
Form 1 (with cefsharp browser, which loads gif by code automatically)
Form 2 (with cefsharp browser, loads same gif)
From main menu I call Form 1, when Form 1 initialize, Form 1 create hidden Form 2.
First form initialize Cef
if (!Cef.IsInitialized)
{
Cef.Initialize(settings);
}
Each form in constructor initialize own browser
chromeBrowser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("");
Controls.Add(chromeBrowser);
Problem appear in situation, when I close second form (no mater is 2nd form shown or not) and dispose both forms and call Cef.Shutdown(). When I try open back first form from menu my app crashes.
Error appear at second form constructor on line chromeBrowser = new ChromiumWebBrowser(""); with such text:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException'
occurred in CefSharp.Core.dll

This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

At work they want to do this to prevent people from downloading images easily from our site. They won't go the disable right click option, so they want to do what Flickr is doing:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/scg/12332332454/sizes/l/
If you right click and try to download that image it downloads the entire html page instead. Can this be done via JS or is it something handled by the server?
I know all this goes against usability and doesn't actually prevent people from ripping off images but it's what the ticket I'm assigned asks for.
I am new on add-on development using the SDK.
I want to ask you guys if it is possible to start my extension automatically after I open my browser? At the moment I starts after I press my widget icon in the toolbar (the panel shows a table with some data I get from the DOM).
Another thing I want to ask you: is it possible to show a loading screen (like a ajax gif) inside my panel (my extension needs a few seconds after switching a tab, to get the DOM data) every time I press the toolbar button.
First of all: One question per post, please.
Extensions are always started with the browser. When it comes to SDK add-ons, your main.js will be called. It's your job to perform any additional initialization form there.
Panels contain regular HTML pages and therefore can use images.
It's impossible to tell you more, without you providing more details and the code you got so far!
I would like to add an animated loader image, which would appear after the user triggers downloading of an attachment, and disappear after the download actually starts - when the browser starts downloading the file (or displays the download confirmation dialog). The reason for it is that the attachments are quite complex documents generated on the server side, which takes some time and an animated loader would reassure the user that the page is working (and disable the download button until the download starts).
The attachment has properly set Http headers.
Here is what it looks like now:
var link = $("#download-link");
link.click(function () {
link.displayLoader();
$(document).load(link.attr("href"), function () {
link.hideLoader();
});
return false;
});
The main problem is that the load method obviously doesn't do what I would like to achieve. Is there a way to capture the actual start of downloading, triggered by window.location change?
You can do is.
Disable the whole screen until the Download is ready ( the server side processing).
And the user clicks a button download and the user directly downloads the file.
Approaches followed by most of the downloading website.
eg. Mediafire.com
PS: Disable the whole screen mean a System type dialog. disabling other options.
Why don't you show the loader image first?
If I understand correctly now, the problem is that you want the loader image to disappear once the file begins to download, and at present it disappears once the file has finished downloading?
I don't think there's an easy way to do it with jQuery, but if you drop down to using the normal JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object directly, you will get several callbacks at various stages of downloading that you can access through the readyState property.
I try to POST images to server.
I have finished it successfully like this:
I have webView, catch "right" url and switch viewControllers.
After switch them I choose image from PhotoLibrary or from camera, POST it and switch controllers back.
P.S. As u know, in mobile safary(in webview too) all "choose" buttons on sites are disabled.
I think that it isn't straightforward way, so..
My question:
Can I choose images from webview's button "choose"? I want to choose images on iDevices similar PC without another viewControllers.
I'm newbie in programming, but I have some ideas(don't know how to realize them):
1.Upload image to DOM. And use "save" button on webView.
2.Add button with selector(can I?) to webView with Javascript. And handle this selector.(smth like that) I saw similar thing for toolbar item.
Get the image. Convert in to a base64 string (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3889478/uiimage-to-base64-string-encoding)
Put this string inside the value of a hidden input.
Submit the form.
On the server convert the base64 back to binary and save to file/DB.
(PS. File inputs are not supported in iOS safari. The choose button is just there as a placeholder, to not break any layouts. There is absolutely no code behind the element, so there is no way try to get it to work.)
I have a PDF embedded in a web page using the following code:
<object id="pdfviewer" data='test_full.pdf#page=1&toolbar=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&navpanes=0'
type='application/pdf'
width='500px'
height='350px'>
The PDF itself is set to open in full screen mode which shows no controls. The user can advance the slides by clicking on the view.
What I'd like to have is some way to trigger that click so that I can advance 2 similar PDF:s side-by-side (one for the actual slideshow and one for the speaker notes). Is this possible to do in javascript and/or jQuery? I have tried using the click()-method but it doesn't get through to the embedded PDF.
Update: Can't find any info on it, so I guess I'm out of luck and have to try a workaround. Am currently juggling 3 embeds of the same pdf (current page, next page and previous page), hiding and showing them and loading more pages as the user clicks around.
I doubt it. Allowing web page scripts to pass input events to the PDF viewer could be a security risk (since the viewer generally has access to system file dialogues via things like Save As).
