is it possible evalute js code in wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5?

i am trying to run this code before converting html to pdf to give all elements the same height.
<script>
var rowWrappArr = [...document.querySelectorAll(".block__row-wrapp")];
rowWrappArr.forEach((currentRow, index) => {
var currentRowWrappHeight = rowWrappArr[index].offsetHeight;
var currentRowElemsArr = [...currentRow.children];
currentRowElemsArr.forEach((currentRowChild) => {
var currentRowChildElem = [...currentRowChild.children][0];
if (currentRowChildElem && currentRowChildElem.style) {
currentRowChildElem.style.height = currentRowWrappHeight + "px";
}
});
});
</script>
i use command
wkhtmltopdf ../../test.html --enable-javascript --javascript-delay
10000 test.pdf
but i get only white sheet as a result. I'm not sure if I understand correctly how wkhtmltopdf works with javascript. I also tried using var according to one of the tip it did not help. wkhtmltopdf version is 0.12.5

Ideas for a correct function on my webpage?

I am having problems with a javascript function. I want to replace an icon by changing the class.
On my page, I have the following element:
<i class="wait icon" alt="{webui_botstatenotavailable}" title="{webui_botstatenotavailable}" id="{botname}"></i>
The following javascript should change the class, but it does not work:
function incomingBotStatusList(http_request, statusOff, statusOn)
{
if (http_request.readyState == 4)
{
if (http_request.status == 200)
{
if (http_request.responseText.length < 7)
{
// Error
}
else
{
var botStatusList = JSON.parse(http_request.responseText);
for (var key in botStatusList)
{
if (botStatusList.hasOwnProperty(key))
{
var botStatusImage = document.getElementById(key);
if (botStatusImage != null)
{
if (botStatusList[key] == 0)
{
botStatusImage.class.innerHTML = "images/bullet_red.png";
botStatusImage.title = statusOff;
botStatusImage.alt = statusOff;
}
else if (botStatusList[key] == 1)
{
botStatusImage.class.innerHTML = "<i class=\"checkmark green icon\">";
botStatusImage.alt = statusOn;
botStatusImage.title = statusOn;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Did someone from you know how it will work?
Thanks for your help!

I see a couple of problems with your code. First, the <i> element is used to apply italic formatting to text. It is not the HTML code for an icon or an image.
Secondly, you write botStatusImage.class.innerHTML, but the Element.class does not exist, and Element.className is a string. It does not have an innerHTML attribute. So, you could write botStatusImage.className = "new_class_name"; and this would be more correct.
You should then change the image source by calling botStatusImage.setAttribute('src', new_url), where you have set new_url to the new image location.
Check out the javascript reference for the Element class that is returned from document.getElementById: check this link
My recommendation, start simple, then make it complex.
First, try to get the icon to change without the AJAX request. Try writing a function like this:
function changeIcon( imageId, newUrl ){
var element = document.getElementById( imageId );
element.setAttribute( "src", newUrl );
}
Then test this function in the console by passing calling it with the URL's manually.
Once that works, don't change it! Next add the AJAX call, and when you have the Icon url from your server response, all you do is call the function that you already wrote and tested. That way you separate the AJAX code from the image update code and you can test them separately.
The key is smaller functions. Build the easy stuff first, and then call those easy functions from the harder functions. Once you know the easy function works well, it becomes much easier to find problems in the harder functions.

Difficulty constructing Absolute URL

www.baxter.com source page, shows most of the href links starting with the word baxter, like this -
href="/baxter/corporate.page?">About Baxter<
So the way I can construct an absolute url from the above is by combining the base url, www.baxter.com and the relative url /baxter/corporate.page?giving me www.baxter.com/baxter/corporate.page? which results in 404, cause the actual url is www.baxter.com/corporate.page?
I know how to generally parse relative URLs in PHP but is there a way to sense and remove words from relative urls like these?
Also mouseover on About Baxter on www.baxter.com web page displays the correct url, www.baxter.com/corporate.page? at bottom left of the page - where is this coming from? can it be accessed?
Will deeply appreciate any help/pointers...
EDIT on Nov 7:
In main.js, they are removing /baxter:
var fixer = function() {
var init = function() {
var digitasFinder = /(proto)|(cms-)|(teamsite-)/
, baxterFinder = /(\/baxter\/)/
, $allAnchors = $("a")
, $allForms = $("form");
digitasFinder.test(location.host) || ($allAnchors.each(function() {
var $this = $(this)
, actualHref = $this.attr("href");
if (baxterFinder.test(actualHref)) {
var newHref = actualHref.replace(baxterFinder, "/");
$this.attr("href", newHref)
}
}
),
$allForms.each(function() {
var $this = $(this)
, actualAction = $this.attr("action");
if (baxterFinder.test(actualAction)) {
var newAction = actualAction.replace(baxterFinder, "/");
$this.attr("action", newAction)
}
}
))
}
;
return {
init: init
}
}

Looks like some JavaScript executed on page load is modifying the hrefs of the links.
You could try duplicating the effects of the JS code (ie. remove '/baxter' from the links), or for a more generic solution, you could use a headless browser to execute the JS code and then evaluate the resulting DOM. Look into the Mink project for a PHP-based solution.

jQuery.attr('data-*') not work on IE8 (work on IE7) [duplicate]

This has gotten so far,that I will sum up what we found out:
Inside the event handler the attribute src cannot be read in IE8 (FF works fine), neither with jQuery nor with usual javascript
The only way to get the data was to get it outside the handler, write it to an array and read it afterwards from the inside of the handler
But there was still no possibility to write to src (neither jQuery nor javascript worked - only for IE 8)
I've got it working by writing the img elemts themselves to the document, but the reason behind this problem is no solved
The snippet we have is used twice.
The old code
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//...
//view entry
jQuery('.blogentry').live('click',function(){
// Get contents
blogtext = jQuery(this).children('.blogtext').html();
blogauthor = jQuery(this).children('.onlyblogauthor').html();
blogtitle = jQuery(this).children('.blogtitle').html();
profileimage = jQuery(this).children('.profileimage').html();
imgleft = jQuery(this).children('.Image_left').attr('src');
imgcenter = jQuery(this).children('.Image_center').attr('src');
imgright = jQuery(this).children('.Image_right').attr('src');
// Write contents
jQuery('#bild_left').attr('src', imgleft);
jQuery('#bild_center').attr('src', imgcenter);
jQuery('#bild_right').attr('src', imgright);
jQuery('.person').attr('src', profileimage);
jQuery('#g_fb_name').html(blogauthor);
jQuery('#g_titel').html(blogtitle);
jQuery('#g_text').html(blogtext);
//...
});
//...
// Change entry
jQuery('.blogentry').each(function(){
entryindex = jQuery(this).attr('rel');
if (entry == entryindex)
{
// The following works fine (so 'children' works fine):
blogtext = jQuery(this).children('.blogtext').html();
blogauthor = jQuery(this).children('.onlyblogauthor').html();
blogtitle = jQuery(this).children('.blogtitle').html();
profileimage = jQuery(this).children('.profileimage').html();
// This does not work - only in IE 8, works in Firefox
imgleft = jQuery(this).children('.Image_left').attr('src');
imgcenter = jQuery(this).children('.Image_center').attr('src');
imgright = jQuery(this).children('.Image_right').attr('src');
//alert: 'undefined'
alert(jQuery(this).children('.Image_center').attr('src'));
//...
}
}
//...
});
</script>
The new code
Please see my own posted answer for the new code.
UPDATE:
This does not work if called inside of the click event!!!
jQuery('.Image_left').each(function(){
alert(jQuery(this).attr('src'));
});
SOLUTION TO GET THE IMAGE DATA:
relcounter = 1;
imgleft_array = new Array();
jQuery('.Image_left').each(function(){
imgleft_array[relcounter] = jQuery(this).attr('src');
relcounter++;
});
relcounter = 1;
imgcenter_array = new Array();
jQuery('.Image_center').each(function(){
imgcenter_array[relcounter] = jQuery(this).attr('src');
relcounter++;
});
relcounter = 1;
imgright_array = new Array();
jQuery('.Image_right').each(function(){
imgright_array[relcounter] = jQuery(this).attr('src');
relcounter++;
});
//... inside the eventhandler (entryindex = 'rel' of blogentry):
imgleft = imgleft_array[entryindex];
imgcenter = imgcenter_array[entryindex];
imgright = imgright_array[entryindex];
This works because it is not called inside the event handler and the sources are saved beforehand
BUT! I still cannot write the data, which is my aim:
jQuery('#bild_left').attr('src', imgleft);
jQuery('#bild_center').attr('src', imgcenter);
jQuery('#bild_right').attr('src', imgright);
UPDATE!!!
This is just crazy, I tried to write the data via usual javascript. This also works in FF, but no in IE8. Here really is some serious problem witt the attribute src:
document.getElementById('bild_left').src = imgleft;
document.getElementById('bild_center').src = imgcenter;
document.getElementById('bild_right').src = imgright;
alert(document.getElementById('bild_left').src);
This works in FF, but not in IE8, the attribute src remains undefined after writing! This seems to be not a jQuery problem at all!

children looks for immediate child elements only where as find looks for all the elements within it until its last child element down the dom tree. If you are saying find is working that means the element you are looking is not its immediate children.
Try to alert this jQuery(this).children('#Image_center').length see what you get.
FYI. Even when any element is not found jQuery will return an emtpy object it will never be null. So alert an emtpy object will always give you [object Object]. You should alwasy check for the length property of the jQuery object.
Try this
alert(jQuery(this).find('#Image_center').length);//To check whether element is found or not.

Bing Bang Boom,
imgright = jQuery(".Image_right",this).attr('src');

And why don't you easily use one working?
alert(jQuery(this).children('#Image_center').attr('src'));
change children to find
alert(jQuery(this).find('#Image_center').attr('src'));
It is probably the easiest solution, and when it work, why wouldn't you use it?

the problem is not in the attr('src') but in something else. The following snippet works in IE8:
<img id="xxx" src="yrdd">
<script type="text/javascript">
alert($('#xxx').attr('src'));
</script>
But if you for example change the the text/javascript to application/javascript - this code will work in FF but will not work in IE8

This has gotten so far,that I will sum up what we found out:
Inside the event handler the attribute src cannot be read in IE8 (FF works fine), neither with jQuery nor with usual javascript
The only way to get the data was to get it outside the handler, write it to an array and read it afterwards from the inside of the handler

jQuery('.Image_left').each(function(){

relcounter++;
});
relcounter = 1;
imgcenter_array = new Array();
jQuery('.Image_center').each(function(){
imgcenter_array[relcounter] = jQuery(this).attr('src');
relcounter++;
});
relcounter = 1;
imgright_array = new Array();
jQuery('.Image_right').each(function(){
imgright_array[relcounter] = jQuery(this).attr('src');
relcounter++;
});
//view entry
jQuery('.blogentry').live('click',function(){
// Get contents
entryindex = jQuery(this).attr('rel');
blogtext = jQuery(this).children('.blogtext').html();
blogauthor = jQuery(this).children('.onlyblogauthor').html();
blogtitle = jQuery(this).children('.blogtitle').html();
profileimage = jQuery(this).children('.profileimage').html();
imgleft = imgleft_array[entryindex];
imgcenter = imgcenter_array[entryindex];
imgright = imgright_array[entryindex];
// Write contents
jQuery('#entryimages').html('');
jQuery('#entryimages').html('<img class="rotate" width="132" height="138" id="bild_left" src="'+imgleft+'" /><img class="rotateright" width="154" height="162" id="bild_center" src="'+imgcenter+'" /><img class="rotate" width="132" height="138" id="bild_right" src="'+imgright+'" />');
jQuery('.person').attr('src', profileimage);
jQuery('#g_fb_name').html(blogauthor);
jQuery('#g_titel').html(blogtitle);
jQuery('#g_text').html(blogtext);
});
So I am just not using .attr('src') in the event handler....

Try to make a delay:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout(function () {
jQuery('.blogentry').each(function(){
// your code...
});
}, 100); // if doesn't work, try to set a higher value
});
UPDATE
Hope, this code will work.
$('.blogentry img').each(function(){
alert( $(this).attr('src') );
});
UPDATE
I'm not sure, but maybe IE can't read classes with uppercase first letter...
Try to change ".Image_center" to ".image_center"
UPDATE
Check your code again. You definitely have some error. Try this jsfiddle in IE8, attr('src') is showed correctly. http://jsfiddle.net/qzFU8/

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#imgReload").click(function () {
$('#<%=imgCaptcha.ClientID %>').removeAttr("src");
$('#<%=imgCaptcha.ClientID %>').attr("src", "Captcha.ashx");
});
});

Mulitple canvas-images (by Chart.js) with toDataURL()

How to handle two or more linked Canvas-Charts with Chart.js? With this script the canvas-image is linked with a bigger version to present the big file in a fancybox or just two download it (right-click -> save). Easy.
<a HREF="#" id="canvas_link_1">
<canvas id="image1"></canvas>
</a>
<a HREF="#" id="canvas_link_2">
<canvas id="image2"></canvas>
</a>
To use toDataURL() with Chart.js it's a bit tricky, cause it will render the whole chart not before the animation has ended. If we do ask for the URL too early, it will present an empty (transparent) image. That's why we need onAnimationComplete in the options:
var options = {
onAnimationComplete: done
}
Later in the script, it will fire/change the new HREF, when the animation is over.
var ct1 = document.getElementById("image1").getContext("2d");
ct1.canvas.width = document.getElementById("image1").offsetWidth;
ct1.canvas.height = document.getElementById("image1").offsetHeight;
var Chart1 = new Chart(ct1).Line(lineChartData1,options);
function done() {
var url1=document.getElementById("image1").toDataURL();
document.getElementById("canvas_link_1").href=url1;
}
var ct2 = document.getElementById("image2").getContext("2d");
ct2.canvas.width = document.getElementById("image2").offsetWidth;
ct2.canvas.height = document.getElementById("image2").offsetHeight;
var Chart2 = new Chart(ct2).Line(lineChartData2,options);
function done() {
var url2=document.getElementById("image2").toDataURL();
document.getElementById("canvas_link_2").href=url2;
}
That works. But only with one canvas-image. If I delete the 2nd function done() it will work with the 1st canvas, if I delete the 1st function, only the 2nd canvas presents the url.
I think the problem is with "done", it's not a name, just like a situation, or? The "var options" is are general for all canvas-images (for sure I can change to options1 and options2 and also to "Line(lineChartData1,options1)" but without any change)... so "done" will fire all functions and - that's bad - appearently only the last function.
On the other side I cannot rename the entry of onAnimationComplete. It's null or done, nothing else. What is to do?

You can have different callbacks with different names. "done" is just an example name (a better name would probably be "completed").
For example - first create two option objects, one for each chart:
var options1 = {
onAnimationComplete: done1
};
var options2 = {
onAnimationComplete: done2
};
Then initialize the charts with those:
...
var Chart1 = new Chart(ct1).Line(lineChartData1, options1);
...
var Chart2 = new Chart(ct2).Line(lineChartData2, options2);
And finally define the callbacks:
function done1() {
var url = document.getElementById("image1").toDataURL();
document.getElementById("canvas_link_1").href = url;
}
function done2() {
var url = document.getElementById("image2").toDataURL();
document.getElementById("canvas_link_2").href = url;
}
Hope this helps (and that I understood the problem correctly) !
