[CS5.1] Javascript functionality removed from Applescript?

I haven't been able to find any answers with this.. and starting to feel like i'm the only one with the problem. I just finally upgraded from CS2 - thankfully not a whole lot has changed and i've found solutions for converting most of my code, but this one i'm stuck on.
The do javascript command is clearly listed in the library as valid, so when i compile it's recognized and all, it's just that whenever executed Photoshop gives an error saying, General Photoshop Error occured. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
Help..? They didn't really get rid of it, did they?

Yes that is the thread that I meant… If you've tried what is suggested there then I don't know any more… I had switched scripting language before this change… How much JavaScript is there, can you put it in an inline string? Does this simple example work for you…
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
     tell document 1
        set docName to name
        set docMode to mode as string
          do javascript "alert( arguments[0]+' is '+arguments[1] )" with arguments {docName, docMode}
     end tell
end tell

  • [JS,AS,CS3]running javascript in bridge from applescript

    Sorry for the cryptic subject description, and you might think this is a bit off topic, but i hope you could shed some light on this.
    I need to execute a Javascript in Bridge from an applsecript using an Applescript. Bridge only has one AS command: do javascript with arguments.
    My testtude looks like this:
    set myJS to "
    alert(arguments[0].toString());
    alert(arguments[1].toString());
    alert(arguments[2].toString());
    alert(arguments[3].toString());
    alert(arguments[4][0].toString());
    set arg1 to 12
    set arg2 to "some text"
    set arg3 to "'some single quoted text'"
    set arg4 to "\"some double quoted text\""
    set arg5 to {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"}
    tell application "Bridge CS3"
    do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5}
    end tell
    --tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    -- do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5}
    --end tell
    You would expect a series of dialogs to appear with the content of the arguments, but you'll get nothing! If you omit the '[0]', you'll get any numerical value, but all strings, however they are quoted, are ignored.
    Strange.
    Stranger still is, that if do the exact same thing in Photoshop, it works like a charm and you can pass any kind of data as argument.
    Any ideas on what's going on?
    Thanks!

  • Why was the "I'm Feeling Lucky" functionality removed from the Firefox awesomebar in all releases after version 3.6?

    In Firefox 3.6, when I type something specific, like "wikipedia steve jobs" into the url bar, I am taken directly to Wikipedia's page for Steve Jobs, and if I type something less specific, I am taken to a Google search results page for what I typed in the bar (unless it was a URL, obviously); in the current version of Firefox, though, I am taken to a Google search results page for whatever I type in (again, not a URL, obviously), even if the page I am seeking is obvious-- how can I avoid this extra step and regain the Firefox 3.6 "I'm Feeling Lucky" functionality?

    There is a change beginning in Firefox 4 and later versions in how Location bar search works.
    * In Firefox 3.6.x, Location bar search uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site otherwise it shows the Google search result page
    * In Firefox 4 and newer versions the default is to perform a Google search and present the Google search results page if you type something which is not recognized as a URL you must type a complete URL, such as www.youtube.com to go directly to the site.
    To get the Firefox 3.6.x behavior in Firefox 4 and newer versions, you can either change a hidden preference OR install the add-on below.
    -> To change the preference, type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    * In the '''Filter bar''', type '''keyword.URL'''
    * Right click the preference '''keyword.URL''' and click '''Modify'''
    * A small window will appear. Copy one of the URLs below and Paste into the box in that small window (or type it into the box in that window exactly as shown below):
    * Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" -> http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
    * Google "Browse by Name" -> http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
    * Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
    -> OR install this extension:
    * Browse By Name 1.1
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Edit function removed from SE16N transaction, reports and interface FM

    I give it 3 years before work programs are updated...

    I think the whole story is too long to fit into a 2500 character post..
    The function should have the strictest check which the system has to offer. Which is 01 DEBUG. But in this case checking the object name is not possible, so 02 DEBUG is needed for that in the SE16N include where the function is activated. However, someone debugging another program could submit the SE16N FM from there as well, so you must at least be able to display in the debugger to get anywhere near it in the first place.
    So it checks all three.
    It also means that if the person does not have the authority and wants to use a dark trick to assign authorizations, they will need to go looking for SAP_ALL or possibly a multiple of authorizations to assign to pass all three checks. That is more "noisy", which is also good for finding people with fat fingers.
    > why was it not limiited to CO-tables?
    It does check S_TABU_DIS...?
    AFAIK the popularity of the transaction (much more than just this edit feature) caught SAP by surprise and by the time it's use had exceeded imaginable boundaries... there was little chance of retro-fitting functional restrictions or a component downport to "SAP_BASIS". So authority-checks it was...
    Note that the code field of SE16 is still there, as it has been since ancient times.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Standard Cost Estimation Functionality removal from S.O.

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to know, is in SAP system there is an option to remove funcionality of auto Stadard cost Estimation i.e. we don't like to make Standard cost Estimation at the time of Sales order creation.
    Can you Please tell me about this feature.
    Rgds, Krishan Raheja.

    Hi,
    I am talking about the Cost Estimation happens, as it shows the cost via menu path---> Extra --> Costing. Further, the system will make the accounting entries for consumptions/Receipt w.r.t. to cost calculated vai this estimation. VPRS condition is not having the same prices as calculated in Costing. Further, the stock will also remain with same prices as calculated in price.
    Can you please suggest, if there is any option, so that we can omit this costing calculation and system make consumption/receipt entries with the values in material master.
    Rgds / Krishan Raheja.

    Hi,
    The recovery DVDs from Lenovo should get you going.
    Are you trying to shrink the C: partition from within Windows?  It's probably the page or hibernation file that is the problem.  If you want to keep trying while waiting for the DVDs you could try an off-line partitioning tool.  gParted on a Linux live CD or USB flash drive for instance.
    There is some cloning software that can do a shrink during the clone op - Acronis for instance.

  • What does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when field is empty? How to use javascript to remove div when condition is met.

    Dear all,
    As stated in the question, what does {tag_image_value} from webapps return when no image has been uploaded by users. I understand that there is an OnError function that can be called if there isn't any image. However it does not do so.
    I am creating a program which will check to see if {tag_image_value} contains an image. If it does not, the error will call an external javascript to remove the div such that it removes any subsequent codes in the later parts of the codes. Below is part of the program:
    I have tried to compare the value to NULL, 0, -1 and "" using if-else functions but they do not work. The slideshow wrapper is part of the code from the following theme: 2027 E Colfax Ave Denver
    The theme will cycle through the pictures, my purpose is to remove the pictures if the images are not present.
       <!------------------------------------------------ Remove picture if not uploaded ------------------------------------------------>
    <script language="JavaScript">
    function noimg1() {
         $( "#shownpicture1" ).remove();
         return;
    function noimg2() {
         $( "#shownpicture2" ).remove();
         return;
    function noimg3() {
         $( "#shownpicture3" ).remove();
         return;
    function noimg4() {
         $( "#shownpicture4" ).remove();
         return;
    </script>
            <!------------------------------------------------ End of remove picture if not uploaded ------------------------------------------------>

    When I put in the code it doesnt work. I went into the page to check and it seems that the preloader changes some elements of the code :
    <div class="slideshow-wrapper slider">
        <div class="preloader"></div>
        <div class="orbit-container">
            <ul class="orbit-slides-container" data-orbit="data-orbit" data-options="bullets:false;animation:fade;" style="height: 26px;">

                 of
                <span></span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    I tried putting this into the top of my template layout before the code starts:
    <script>
    $('.slideshow-wrapper slider .orbit-container ul li img').each(function(){
    if( $(this).attr('src') == "" ){
    $(this).parent.remove();
    $('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){

      $(this).parent.remove(); 
    $('.slideshow-wrapper slider ul li img').each(function(){ 
      if( $(this).attr('src') == '' ){ 
      $(this).parent.remove(); 
    </script>
    All 3 variants cannot work. Is there something wrong with the way I do the scripting?

  • JavaScript function which fetches return_value from List of Values

    Hi,
    I have created List of Values named "NICKS". I want to write JavaScript function "get_workers_fullname(nick)" which returns display_value from List of Values. The parameter of function is return_value of List "NICKS".
    I am new with this and don't know how to handle this case.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    The LOV, I mean is the item in Application's Shared Components. I don't mean the visible SelectList on the page.
    This is what I found in ApEx's help: "A List of Values can be referenced by page items as well as report fields. It controls the values displayed and limits the user's selection. Lists of Values can be static (based on values you enter) or dynamic (based on a SQL query)."
    I'd like to access values in such LOV from JavaScript. I am not sure it is possible.
    Cheers,
    Tom.

  • How can I call a servlet method from a javascript function

    I want to call l a servlet method from a javascript function.
    Does any one have an example of code.
    Thinks in advance

    Actually, as long as the servlet returns valid javascript, you can indeed "call it" from the client. It will initiate a request and return the result to the browser.
    This example uses Perl, but it could be easily modified to go to a servlet instead.
    Note that it is only supported in DOM browsers (IE6+/NN6+/etc)

  • Help needed in calling a javascript function from a jsp

    Hey guys,
    I need help.
    In my jsp I have a field called date. When i get date field from the database, it is a concatination of date and time field, so I wrote a small javascript function to strip just the date part from this date and time value.
    The javascript function is
    function formatDate(fieldName)
              var timer=fieldName;
              timer = timer.substring(5,7)+"/"+timer.substring(8,10)+"/"+timer.substring(0,4);
              return timer;
    Now I want to call this javascript function from the input tag in jsp where I am displaying the value of date. Check below
    This is one way I tried to do:
    <input size="13" name="startDate" maxLength="255" value=<script>formatDate("<%=startDate%>")</script> onChange="checkDate(this)">
    I even tried this:
    <input size="13" name="startDate" maxLength="255" value="'formatDate(<%=startDate%>)'" onChange="checkDate(this)">
    But it dosen't work
    Please help. I am struggling on this for days.
