RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
Please don't do it off-list, several of us could be interested. In case anyone is interested, as Claude recommended, It was relatively easy to check for the foreign script injection by myturfads.com. There is a test page with the code located at http://www.uxb.net/adtest/ that will look to see if your client is seeing the Google ad being replaced by the myturfads.com In case you are wondering what I am talking about. Some ISP's are using a proxy technology that in real time intercepts the Google Ad JavaScript code and replaces it with their own advertising from a company (MyTurf - www.myturfads.com) that specializes in injecting local advertising into existing ad spaces for Local ISP's.They replace the google or double click JS code with their own and can add/inject pop-up and video ads into sites that only use text or image advertising from Google. Very Annoying! Based on the testing I have done with one of my more trafficked sites that have ads on them (hce.halomaps.org) there are at least two ISP's that are using the ad-replacement proxy technology in three different regions: Brewster NY, Denver CO. and Boise ID. NY and CO were Comcast and ID was CenturyLink. I am seeing multiple IPS from each area, mostly in the same B and C blocks. The way the test page works is that after loading it looks for any script called from myturfads.com on the page and then lists the scripts and warns if one was found. If one was found it performs an AJAX call and sends me an email with the client IP. I have contacted and opened a case with Google about this and they were very interested, but of course I only get to deal with the front line support person so I have no idea what they intend. I also contacted a copyright law firm and they were interested but because it is Google's Code and not mine that is being replaced an infringement case would be tough. Not only that but apparently there is no case law that says the ISP cannot replace or inject scripts. To proceed further it would require I cover legal research costs to see if there was a case to be had.It gets all muddy, especially now with the FCC's new Net Neutrality regulations still not fully defined and already under legal attack. I find this behavior on the part of the ISP's abhorrent and dangerous. Right now they are replacing advertising and stealing revenue from the advertiser and Web Publisher. But they could just as easily replace articles or any real content on the fly as well. And the worst of it is that there is apparently no legal precedent to the contrary. Thanks for listening.

RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
Just throwing ideas out there. :) All my pontificating aside for this particular purpose I am just trying to detect if the string adx.myturfads.com exists anywhere on the DOM. For my sister, I've already stopped it from loading by editing the hosts file on the PC to disallow that domain. Including the reasons you stated trying to stop it with a purely technical solution is just an arms race. This requires legal action. I am trying to find a way to collect data to support that. They may have stepped over a line here because they are not just adding but removing and replacing content. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.

RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
Using HTTPS may not be able to solve the problem completely either. A lot of companies, and now apparently ISPs, do a man in the middle certificate and have access to the whole encrypted stream. Companies do it to ensure that their work product isn't being ex-filtrated, ISPs seem to do it for advertising. There are ways to verify your direct connection to a server, but it requires diligence on the part of the browser user. I was thinking at first that you could generate a hash of the page being send and append it in http headers and then use javascript to hash the DOM and compare it, but I don't think that would work because of add-ins like LastPass that inject javascript that the user wants.

I fixed my program to detect 5 or 6 of them and now the system is almost perfect. Should have known it was you smile. What is happening is that Comcast has engaged the company MyTurfads.com that on the fly replaces Google and other ads with their own. They intercept the call to the script and return JS of their own that inserts a script from their domain (adx.myturfads.com) into the DOM. That script then calls others to handle the ads. I have proven this using a test page http://www.uxb.net/adtest/ that only has a single Google ad and no other scripts. The content of the single script on that page gets replaced at my sisters in NY (Comcast) but not in CT (Comcast) . I want to find out how wide spread this is because 3 data points do not make an argument. I only found out about it because my sister complained about getting pop-up and self-running modal video ads on one of my websites and that should not occur. What I want to do is write a script that can detect if the domain myturfads.com is located anywhere in the DOM. I intend to place it on the simple test page so that once detected I can initiate an Ajax call and record the user IP on my server. I can hack at JS code with enough examples but sadly need a little help on this one. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.

Re: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
It appears as if in some locations Comcast's proxies are intercepting advertising scripts (google/doubleclick) and replacing them with their own JS that substitutes their own contracted ads. I am looking for a way to detect this on a test page to determine how wide spread the practice is. I would be greatly appreciative if that person would contact me directly either by email or phone. I'm not that person, but I have some suggestions. First, my understanding is that this only happens for users of Comcast public access hotspots, not for subscribed users: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/why-comcasts-javascript-ad-injections-threaten-security-net-neutrality/ Second, if you use TLS (SSL) exclusively, you should be able to prevent this. Google/Doubleclick support this, and I really think it's the way of the future. We recommend exclusive TLS use for all of our customers. Not specifically just for this problem, but because it limits exposure generally and because it may positively affect SEO in the near future: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html Third, there's an IEEE paper that provides some sample code for handling this problem. I haven't read it myself, and it's not a free paper, but it may be worth the money to you: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=arnumber=6032221url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D6032221 Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software 1-202-527-9569 http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor- authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360182 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: OT javascript
Chad...
Here's what I'd suggest...leave the name value as is, even though that's not
the best idea. Add an ID attribute to each, with an increasing numeric value:
cb1, cb2, cb3, etc.
Give each combobox the same class, comboBox or something like that.
Then, you could try something like this:
var $boxes = $('.comboBox') // gives you as many comboboxes as exist on the
page
$boxes.each(function(){
$elem = $(this); // the current combo box
if ($elem.val() == '' || $elem.val() == 0) {
// do something here
}
});
select name=ID
option value=Please Select/option
option value=11/option
/select
select name=ID
option value=Please Select/option
option value=11/option
/select

There's probably something in jquery that'll do it on one line of
cross browser code...

Ok, I need some Javascript help.
I just cannot get this script (residing in an iframe)...
script
parent.thisMovie('studio_loader_embed').reloadClipart();
parent.thisMovie('studio_loader_embed').showTab(2);
/script
...to go through this script...
script
function thisMovie(movieName) {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1) {
return HTMLCollection.namedItem(movieName)
} else {
return document[movieName]
}
}
/script
...to function on this object...
div style=margin:0px; padding:5px; width:670px; float:left;
object classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-44455354
codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0;
width=670 height=550
param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain /
param name=allowFullScreen value=false /
param name=movie value=/flash/studio_loader.swf?urlvars=1264,0,0,0,0,0 /
param name=quality value=high /
param name=bgcolor value=white /
embed src=/flash/studio_loader.swf?urlvars=1264,0,0,0,0,0
quality=high bgcolor=white width=670 height=550
id=studio_loader_embed
align=middle allowScriptAccess=sameDomain
allowFullScreen=false type=application/x-shockwave-flash
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; /
/object
/div
-
For the thisMovie() function I have tried all these combinations for IE:
HTMLCollection.namedItem(movieName) // HTMLCollection is undefined
namedItem(movieName) // Object expected
document.getElementById // 'parent.thisMovie(...)' is null or not an object
You can see this functionality work in FF by going here...
http://www.silverscreendesign.com/designlab.cfm?proid=1264
... and clicking on the Your Cart button in the right. Clicking that
button should make the flash movie's tab go to Add Art
It does not work in IE.
Someone told me that IE cannot talk to an embed tag, only an object tag, but
I believe the ID vs NAME issue is tripping me up.
I would be more than happy to send a PayPal payment for your time.
Thanks,
Mik

Someone told me that IE cannot talk to an embed tag, only an object tag, but I believe the ID vs NAME issue is tripping me up. I don't think IE uses the EMBED tag at all. Give your OBJECT an ID of its own, and use that when you're in IE.

Re: (ot) javascript problem
Any clues on how to trace javascript errors in IE? Error messages in IE are simply retarded. The error could be in any file, and it does not even give the file name. Furthermore, the line number is always one unit higher. Then your error must be in one of the included files, at line 347. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: (ot) javascript problem
The best means I have found of working out JS errors in IE is to create a project in Visual Web Developer 2008 (free). Launch the project which will open a browser window (IE needs to be set as your default browser) then navigate to your page. When the error occurs choose to debug the error, and VS will give you better information, and take you directly to the offending bit of JS.

RE: (ot) javascript problem
IE JS errors suck...it's almost impossible to debug. Your best bet then is to start commenting out lines, or chunks, of code (including JS includes). At the very least it should help you narrow down your issue. You could also extract the content from your included files one at a time, and replace the include call with an actual script block. Then IE might tell you where in that file the error is. andy -Original Message- From: Stephens, Larry V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 7:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: (ot) javascript problem I'm using a DHTML javascript menu (from DynamicDrive) that works fine in Mozilla (shows no errors in the error console).

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I installed the debug bar that was recommended and, on the same site, saw
.Jscript (I think that's the name) and installed it. Both seem very helpful
additions to IE.
The latter program promptly highlighted the offending line of code.
Unfortunately, I'm still mystified at why it's choking in IE but not Mozilla;
seems both will go to the same code section..
I know this won't be helpful by itself, but:
function CntnrSetUp(Wdth,Hght,NoOff){
var x=RcrsLvl==1?BorderColor:BorderSubColor;
this.FrstMbr=null;
this.OrgLeft=this.OrgTop=0;
if(x)this.bgColor=x;
if(Nav4){ this.visibility='hide';
this.resizeTo(Wdth,Hght)}
else{ if(x)this.style.backgroundColor=x;
this.style.width=Wdth+P_X;
this.style.height=Hght+P_X;
this.style.fontFamily=FontFamily;
this.style.fontWeight=FontBold?'bold':'normal';
this.style.fontStyle=FontItalic?'italic':'normal';
this.style.fontSize=FontSize+'pt';
this.style.zIndex=RcrsLvl+Ztop}}
The script works fine off one page someone set up as a demo but crashes here on
another page. The offending line(s) of code seem to be either, one or both of
the ones in red, but I can't see where I've made a mistake in anything above
this. When I did some investigation both Wdth and Hght returned integers. P_X
is widely used in other parts of the script (= 'px').
But, this is far too involved a script for me to debug. At this point - barring
an answer from the author - I'm trying a different script.
Thanks.

There's an easier way to do this...
Rather than using a br and assigning an id to it, use a div. Divs have built
in properties that aren't included in br tags.

Re: (ot) javascript help
Quite a few issues there...
First off, you can generally use one or the other of visibility or
display properties. In your case you'd probably want to use display
since this will actually create or destroy the space that the br occupies.
Then, in makeNewEntry you'd want this one line:
document.getElementById('FTDTYPEe').style.display = 'block';
// since it is an id, you can reference it directly, independent of the form
Finally, you can remove the visibility property from the br:
br id=FTDTYPEe style=display: none; /
That should get you where you need to be.

In Ext, the Element class has built-in methods to get just about

For what it's worth my PanelManager will do this as well:

You do have to make each element into a panel - this extends the element
with a ton of methods including getPosition() which returns the element's
position from the top/left of the canvas.
To be easy tho' the method provides a hasCollisionWith() method which can
determine if one element overlaps another. So (once you've made panels of
the elements) you can just say something like:
if ( MyElement.hasCollisionWith(MyContainer) ) {
In View!
} else {
Not in View!
};
This would return true if any part of MyElement is overlapping
MyContainer - to figure out how much they overlap you might use the
getDistanceFrom() method - this returns zero if the elements are touching
(but not overlapping), positive numbers if they're apart and negative
numbers if they're overlapping.
The panelManager itself provides general methods to get canvas and window
size and mouse position allowing you to easily determine if the parent
container is visible.
Lastly the component supports a fully cross-platform event manager/model so
you can easily react to collisions.
It's small, doesn't pollute host code and I've found it insanely useful.

Re: OT Javascript - when is an element visible
I'm not sure if scrollTop is part of the spec for DOM (or widely
supported -- innerHTML for example is not but widely supported).
Assuming that scrollTop is supported in the browser though, I'd think
something like this might work:
var ct = container.scrollTop;
var ch = container.offsetHeight;
var t = mydiv.offsetTop;
var h = mydiv.offsetHeight;
if (t ct t (ct + ch)) {
// top of the div is visible
} else if ((t+h) ct (t+h) (ct + ch)) {
// bottom of the div is visible
}

RE: OT Javascript - when is an element visible
I know there is a JS method called .scrollIntoView() (IE only??) which will cause the an element to scroll to where it is visible. Not sure how to tell if it is visible though. I suppose if you know the edges of the viewable area, you can calculate the position of the element in question via its coordinates and size. Doesn't sound fun though-- maybe someone will post and show us a pre-built function in the prototype library or something. :) ~Brad What I'm trying to work out, is a way to find out when one of those child divs is visible and when it's not. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298802 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: OT: javascript to keep a user from navigating away
I would like to make javascript that when the window.onUnload is
fired to pop up a confirm() saying hey if you leave now your form
information will not be saved. Do you wish to continue?. But I think
once onUnload fires there is no stopping the user from leaving the
page. Can you cancel onUnload once it fires?
I believe it's doable... not necessarily the best case for usability...
however...
in order to work across both IE and firefox/moz you have to use two
event handlers. In moz, onunload can be cancelled
body onunload=return confirm('Lose your work?');
in IE, the onunload event doesn't fire until after the browser is
already closed, however, they have a prioprietary onbeforeunload event,
so you can use that one instead to do the same thing for IE. Iirc you
don't have to do any special checking or anything, just copy whatever
you put in onunload into onbeforeunload also and you'll get the result
you want.
I was asked to do this several years ago for a company in Ft Lauderdale.

RE: OT: javascript to keep a user from navigating away
Thanks again Isaac!
Here is my final code so people can enjoy (add the script tags around the
javascript). It does not fire when submit is clicked, but if you refresh or
use the back/forward button or try to close the browser it fires.
function unloadMessage(){
message = Dont go.. what you typed in the form will be lost!
return message;
}
function setBeforeUnload(on){
window.onbeforeunload = (on) ? unloadMessage : null;
}
setBeforeUnload(true);
form
input type=text
input type=submit onClick=setBeforeUnload(false);

RE: OT: javascript to prevent a normal link from working
Just to close the loop, I found a way to do it with the yahoo event handler.
Basically I have tabs that pull data from other files, and if those files
have links and the link is to an internal document open the liked doc in the
tab, if an external document link like normal. Sort of like using an iframe
but no iframes.
Working example here. Click on 'don' to open other files. Actually tab 1
is a separate .htm file as well.

Re: OT: Javascript Menu that Displays Over IFrames
Thanks for all the fish Actually I kind of figured this out. I found some free CSS menus, which via-css convert an Unordered List to an invisible Iframe, so now the drop-downs display over the select boxes an IFrames. Ali Ali, I've used a trick to get drop downs to float over select boxes in IE. The trick is to put an relatively positioned empty iframe behind each one of your drop down menu.

Re: OT: Javascript question
try dropping #chr(10)# into the string, I think that will work.
might be nicer to set one display variable earlier
cfset infoText = url.address chr(10) url.city chr(10)
then you can just refer to #infoText in the js.

Re: OT: Javascript help

RE: OT: Javascript help
Zaphod,
I think that solution works for strings/numbers, but I would also like this
to work with object refrences ... Something like:
objMenu.onmouseover = function(){
objMenuSystem.Show(this);
}
The problem here is the same... When the mouse over fires, objMenuSystem
is no undefined since it tries to find it reference to the Menu, not the
varaible reference. But then again, if I wanted it to work my way, this
would be off too, since it would point to the housing method... Not the
objMenu... Hmmm .. .and ... Dangy!

Re: OT: Javascript help
Asking your question of my javascipt list, the responses were as follows:
Repsonse 1
Have you tried this?
objA.onclick = new Function (alert( + intI + ) );
Response 2
for (var intI = 0 ; intI 10 ; intI++){
var objA = document.createElement( div );
Place one var objA; before the loop then remove the var inside.
Redeclaring a variable is a bad practice that will bite you in other
languages.
objA.onclick = function(){ alert( intI ); };
It's doing its job, it's alerting the value of intI, which is what you left
it. The easiest solution is to add a custom property to the object to hold
the current value of intI:
objA.currentI = intI;
objA.onclick = function(){ alert( this.currentI ); };
Response 3
objA.onclick = new Function (alert( + intI + ) );
This should work, but from what I understand new Function (like eval) must
be compiled on the spot, so there's a (however slight) performance hit.

RE: OT: Javascript help
Cutter,
I like this suggestion:
objA.currentI = intI;
objA.onclick = function(){ alert( this.currentI ); };
This is actually how I deal with this same problem in Flash Action Script
sometimes. However, in Flash I do it on objects, and in JS it always makes
me nervous to try adding data to an object that doesn't inherently have that
attribute.

Thanks for everyone's help. I think I now see the local scoping issue that I
was dealing with before. I will try to return with a better example.

RE: OT javascript Q: Show/hide divs...works in IE, not in FF.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've talked to two other js guys and none of us can figure out what's going wrong. I'd really appreciate some input. Thanks. You have to be careful what IE and Firefox calls a child node. IE only makes element child nodes, FF makes everything, including blank lines child node. Obviously these types of child node would not have a style, or any other kind of, property. The fix is to test for the existence of the property, or the type of the child node before applying changes to it.

RE: OT javascript Q: Show/hide divs...works in IE, not in FF.
I'd suggest adding in an additional check.
if ( ci.name != undefined ci.style )
ci.style.display = none;

Subject: OT javascript Q: Show/hide divs...works in IE, not in FF.
I've got some code with which I'm working:
http://www.andyandjaime.com/uploads/div.html
function switchDiv(pNode,name) {
var pNode = document.getElementById(pNode);
for (i=0;ipNode.childNodes.length;i++) {
ci = pNode.childNodes[i];
if (ci.name != undefined) {
ci.style.display = none;
if (ci.name == name) {
ci.style.display = block;
}
}
}
}
The goal is when I mouseover each of the links, the DIV
specified in the
function call gets shown while all other DIVs get hidden. The
code works in
IE perfectly, but in FF generates the error listed below:
Error: ci.style has no properties
Line: 23
line 23 being this line: ci.style.display = none;
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've talked to two
other js guys and
none of us can figure out what's going wrong. I'd really
appreciate some
input. Thanks.

RE: OT javascript Q: Show/hide divs...works in IE, not in FF.
So can you test for node.name? Yes I often do something like: if (something.childnode[i].nodeName == P) do something to a paragraph node. You can also use the test suggested by Steve. if ( ci.name != undefined ci.style ) ci.style.display = none; Or of couse combine both methods if it helps. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

if it's a literal ID value, then yes, he'd need quotes. I'm guessing it's a variable. Try backgroundColor (note the casing) instead of background.
