I'm working on a piece of code in which I require to extract all links from a particular web page. I use the component EmbeddedWB because I need to show the current page as well. I have a simple page that is loaded into the EmbeddedWB and contains some scripts that generates some URLs using the function "document.write" of JavaScript. Theoretically I have something like this:
<html>
<body>
<a href=#>No problem Here<a/>
<script Language="JavaScript">
var random=Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
document.write(" I Can’t catch this link! ");
</script>
</body>
</html>
By using the function ViewPageLinksToStrings (LinksList: TStrings) of the component I get as expected the URL’s found in the source code, but my intention is to catch the links that are generated with JavaScript too.
What would be the best way to do this? There is any library I can use?
Thank you for your time. John Marko
It looks like EmbeddedWB supports Javascript and I found this article in the forum. I contains code which reads the full (Javascript-generated) DOM tree into a variable of type IHTMLDocument2, which is simplified here:
procedure MyProcedure(Sender: TObject);
var
Doc: IHTMLDocument2;
begin
EmbeddedWB1.Navigate('... some url ...');
while EmbeddedWB1.ReadyState < READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE do
Application.ProcessMessages;
Doc := EmbeddedWB1.Document as IHTMLDocument2;
...

JavaScript code I am trying to get to call from the HTML.
var ClassList = new Array ["Bio1300","csci12"];
function ClassMenu(ClassList) {
return (ClassList.toString);
};
This is the HTML code I am trying to call the JavaScript function inside of on the load of the page.
<li>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript InProg.js">
function ClassMenu() {
console.log(ClassList.toString);
}
</script>
</li>
Please help. I have many other functions I am trying to call in this manner that are both arrays and contain mathematical calculations.
There are a few issues with the code snippet you've provided. Firstly, it's considered a best practice to add your <script> tags inside the <head> of the document or at the end of the document when loading JavaScript files. Secondly, your source reference is incorrect. Assuming the JavaScript file InProg.js is at the same directory level as your HTML file, you could change your script link to something like this:
<script src="InProg.js"></script>
Once you've ammended how you're loading the JavaScript file into your page, you can simply make a call to the function inside another <script> tag from anywhere on the page, like so:
<script>ClassMenu(params);</script>
Also, I'd recommend adding the console.log statement to the function you're calling.
Hopefully this helps.
I've been given some great tips on how to inject HTML into HTML that I can't edit.
The trouble is now that the snippet contains JS it won't render to the page.
The Jquery looks lke this:
$(document).ready(function() {
var $body = $(document.body);
if ($body.is(".ly_productdetails.ProductDetails.en.en_GB")) {
$('.info_section').prepend('<div id="test-widget"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="/frontend/latest/build.min.js" data-test="test-widget" data-instance="xyz" data-apikey="12345678" data-tags="" async="async"></script>');
}
});
I tried putting backslashes in before the quotations but this didn't work.
How else can you write this to the page so that the JS is included?
Many thanks,
Adam

This is a security feature. jQuery allows <script> elements in HTML code but it won't execute them (at least not the src="..." part; inline scripts work). This is because jQuery has no way to make sure the script isn't malicious or from a safe source (an error in your code might allow people to enter scripts in a form element).
Use jQuery.getScript(url, successCallack) instead.
See also: jQuery - script tags in the HTML are parsed out by jQuery and not executed
It looks like jQuery won't load an external script when parsing HTML. But if you create a script element it will:
$('body').prepend($('<script>', {
src: 'http://dev.bridgebase.com/barmar_test/test.js'
}));
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
I am in the process of making an addon for a software that basically allows you to have 'responsive' adverts, by checking the page size with javascript and then outputting the relevant ad code to the screen.
This works fine for text ad codes, however I've hit a snag when the ad code is javascript - I can't get the user-provided javascript to output to the page and be executed.
Is this possible at all?
Here is some example code:
<div id="admanagerresponsive">
<script type="text/javascript">
adUnit = document.getElementById("admanagerresponsive");
adWidth = adUnit.offsetWidth;
if (adWidth >= 728) {
<output ad code>
}
</script>
</div>
The code above will be directly in the page.
Is such a thing possible?
EDIT:
could be any advertiser's code, such as adsense. It'll be user provided, and will be standard html. However, it could contain tags, and these will need to be rendered and outputted correctly...
If you really need to inject add html code containing script tags and you are award of the security problems, i suggest to use a library like jQuery that takes care about the cross browser issues with executing <script> tags added later.
Additionally you need to take care about various pitfalls like:
Html paring is done before script parsing, so no matter where a </script> appears this will immediately end your script.
The examples are important for the situations where you have that code as inline script inside your html page.
Example 1:
<script>
adUnit = document.getElementById("admanagerresponsive");
adWidth = adUnit.offsetWidth;if (adWidth >= 728) {
// if you add </script> <b>this is visible as html</b> and everything below is not script anymore
}
</script>
Example 2:
<script>
adUnit = document.getElementById("admanagerresponsive");
adWidth = adUnit.offsetWidth;if (adWidth >= 728) {
var string = "<script> var test;</script>";//the same problem here everything behind the closing script tag is html and not script anymore
}
</script>
So if you need to have some script to inject there you need to make the </script> not to be detectable by the html parser:
<script>
adUnit = document.getElementById("admanagerresponsive");
adWidth = adUnit.offsetWidth;if (adWidth >= 728) {
var string = "<script> var test;</sc"+"ript>";//that way the html parser does not detect the closing script tag
}
</script>
A better solution is not to use inline script at all, not only for that reason, but because you should always keep css, js and html separated.
Break it into two ideas. From your HTML above, just call a js function you wrote somewhere else. Initially have that js function be an alert, to verify that works.
Once that works, you have the problem: how can I get custom js for a page? The answer to that is hopefully that you can create and load a (one-off, custom) js file the same way you create an html file. Or, libraries such as now.js could help. Or, there is a script portion of your html page that you understand how to assemble to include the js.
You could even preload all your size possibilities, then have the js routine from the first paragraph pick the right routine to call,
I'm fairly new to the whole JQuery/javascript world, but I've managed to wack together a working jqgrid with a datepicker & custom control (used jquery auto complete) based on code samples i found on the net. I've added the code to a T4 template in my project as it'll probably act as a base/starting point for most pages. (Side note. I'm using asp.net MVC)

1.) I'd like to move the initDateEdit & initDateSearch to the same function (using a parameter, to disable/enable the showOn property) as they are basically similar.
2.) How would be the best way to set nonWorkingDates from outside the new function/file. same applies to the autocomplete_element (I'd like to specify the url)
Changing
"function nonWorkingDates(date)" to => "function nonWorkingDates(date, nonWorkingDates)"
isn't working, (guess it's got got something to do with how its gets called "beforeShowDay: nonWorkingDates")
Thanks in advance!
If you have a chunk of JS code like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
... code goes here ...
</script>
You simply copy the whole thing, eliminate the containing script tags, and save the raw code
... code goes here ...
to a file, which you then include with:
<script type="text/javascript" src="yourfile.js"></script>
However, since you're using jquery, you'll have to make sure that this above snippet is placed AFTER the script tag that loads up jquery, or you'll get a "no such function" syntax error.
I'm extremely new to coding and I'm reading a book on it. And I think I have the basics down on this little test project I'm doing, but whenever I test the page I just see the code I used. Here's the entirety of my code.
<script type = "text/javascript">;
//<![CDATA[
// from concat.html
var person = "" ;
person = prompt( "What is your name?") ;
alert("Hi there, ") + person + "!");
//]]>
</script>
Honestly I don't know what the CDATA is for or what concat.html is.
How can I get Firefox to run my JavaScript rather than just show the code?
Try wrapping it in <html> to make the whole page get treated as HTML. Does the file have a .js extention, by any chance?
CDATA is to distinguish code from markup.
Put it in an HTML file.
So, first, save it as scriptname.html - you're embedding JavaScript within an HTML file.
Next, make it valid html - add <html> to the top and </html> to the bottom. And <head> and <body> tags where appropriate - if you don't know what those are, head over to any HTML site to look them up (www.diveintohtml5.org is nice, if you can follow it.)
Better install Firebug plugin for Firefox or use other browser's Javascript console. It will allow you to run your code
