Escaping html for dynamic javascript

Hi Folks,
Can anyone please tell me how I escape html for use in a function?
Here is my code:
onMouseover="ddrivetip('#jobdescription#','white', 300)";
Thanks in advance

Hi there
What is it you're trying to escape exactly? Do you mean you want the literal # signs to go in? If that's the case then use a double hash ## - Coldfusion will render a single one to the browser.
If that's not what you mean then some more info may be required

Escape HTML for Page Title

Hi,
We created a custom TLN.
I would like to produce href tags but I face the problem of escaping HTML characters :
<aa on_click="return EPCM.doNavigate('<%= currNavNode.getName()%>',0,'','null',1,'<%= *StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(*currNavNode2.getTitle(userLocale))%>','')" href="#"><%=currNavNode2.getTitle(userLocale)%></aa>
The problem is that the org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils is not available (or I do not know how to make it available...).
How do you proceed for escaping :
- HTML
- URL
- Javascript
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi,
After many tries, I found out that simply quotes and double-quotes is enough for the Javascript EPCM.doNavigate to work (almost) properly.
Here is the code I use in the toplevelnavigation.jsp :
<% String titlePage    = "";
   String escTitlePage = "";
   titlePage    = currNavNode2.getTitle(userLocale);
   escTitlePage = titlePage;
   escTitlePage = escTitlePage.replaceAll("\'","\\\\\'");
   escTitlePage = escTitlePage.replaceAll("\"","\\\\\"");
   //escTitlePage = escTitlePage.replaceAll("\\&","\\&");
   //escTitlePage = escTitlePage.replaceAll("\\&","\\%26");
%>
<a <%=level2Id%> oncclick="return EPCM.doNavigate('<%= currNavNode2.getName()%>',0,'','null',1,'<%= escTitlePage %>','')" href="#"><%= titlePage %></a>
The last problem I have is with '&'. Whatever escaping I try, I have a truncated string in the page title at position of the '&'...
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Guillaume

How to include HTML file in JSP using HTML elements or Javascript?

Hi,
I have around 15000 static html files one for each item which we display each upon invoking an item.The HTML file should be part of a JSP file.
Please note that the name of the HTML file is determined dynamically
Placing all the HTML files within the web application does not give us good performance so i would like to put all of them in the webserver.
I am not able to include the file in the JSP using the jsp:include attribute if i place the HTML files in the webserver ,
in order to do that i think should use either HTML element or javascript to include the HTML in the JSP.is there any alternative to <Jsp:include>
Does anyone have an idea how to include the HTML file and take advan tage of webserver?
Any ideas are appreciated

What you need to do is simply read the HTML file from the disk and dump it out to the outputstream. It really is that simple.
There's no reason you need to include all 15000 files in the actual WAR, you can place those files any place handy that is easy for the application to see (in another directory, or accessible from a file server if you have multiple front ends).
Then, just write a utiility function that takes the output stream (i.e. the 'out' JSP variable), and the file name, read the file, and write it to the stream.
If you start noticing performance issues, then you can try doing some caching, but truth is your OS should be doing that for you.
But, truth be told that's the only practical way to do it.
Another solution would be to use JavaScriipt and XMLHttpRequest (i.e "AJAX") to load the file at the client side, and simply replace a tag with the results.
That's also pretty trivial to write, any web site talking about AJAX should give you hint there.
Of course, that won't work for folks who have JavaScript turned off, or some other incompatible browser, whereas the server side solution obviously works everywhere.

Change Html Title dynamic from Flash

Hi,
I want to change the Title of the Html page dynamically from
the embedded Flash.
The Title, that appears on Browser bars etc.
Could I do this?
On init I can load the Html source code in with LoadVars, and
onData (src) change the Title with subString method, but, how then
could I pass the new value back to the Html page, so the Browser
Title changes?
Thank you.
Luciewong

Thank you both GWD and Dave for the help.
I know your code works under normal circumstances, just in my
case, I can't get it to work.
Because, on a subsequent Frame, called after the
ExternalInterface.call,
I have a getURL(javascript) to change the doc. background
color.
Now, either the Title changes or the background color
changes, but both after each other, can't make it.
I have tried Ext,CallBack function, so when the Title changes
and callBack is true, move on, but still then it changes the BG,
but not the title anymore.
I must do something wrong with the callBack function?
Thank you for your help.

Luciewong

Adding elements to html form dynamically

document.appendChild(element);
</script>
</body>
</html>
thanks in advance

Hi,
Since no one is giving you the hint: I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. This is not a Javascript forum. I know it sounds confusing but despite the name, Javascript and Java have nothing really in common. Javascript runs on the client side. Java web technologies don't. Although, what you are asking for can be done with JSP's, I'm afraid, I can't help you with Javascripting :(....

Hi, We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

Hi,
We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
Regards,
Pramod

Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

Hi, Do you mean to say,
You have an HTML page in which you have a text field and an add button. If you enter anything in that text field and click on Add button the text field contents should be displayed in the same HTML page and you should be able to go on entering new values into the text field and you should be able to retain and display all the previously entered values..
and finally the list of added items are not stored in the database..
If this is the case
i. Your html form should be submitted to the same page.
ii. You need to have a Vector which holds the entered values.
iii. Bind the vector object to the request object and collect the same vector object from the request and display its contents...
I think this would help...

Escaping HTML in a Custom Tag

Hello, all. I am sadly failing to find a library function to escape HTML in Java. I'm writing a tag that used to use JSTL as a custom tag and don't know exactly where to find the functionality the JSTL is using. Consider the old JSP:
<c:forEach items="${versions}" var="version">
     <tr>
         <td><c:out value="${version.version}"/></td>
         <td><c:out value="${version.releaseDate}"/></td>
    </tr>
</c:forEach>and the new custom tag class:
public class VersionTableTag implements Tag
    private PageContext context;
    private Tag parent;
    public int doEndTag() throws JspException
        return EVAL_PAGE;
    public int doStartTag() throws JspException
        JspWriter out = context.getOut();
        List versions;
        try
            versions = (List)(context.getVariableResolver().resolveVariable("versions"));
        } catch (ELException e)
            versions = new ArrayList();
        try
            out.println("<table>");
            out.println("<tr>");
            out.println("<th>Version</th>");
            out.println("<th>Release Date</th>");
            out.println("</tr>");
            for (Object o : versions)
                VersionVO version = (VersionVO)o;
                out.println("<tr>");
                out.println("<td>");
                out.println(version.getVersion()); // NOTE: not properly escaped
                out.println("</td><td>");
                out.println(version.getReleaseDate().toString()); // NOTE: not properly escaped
                out.println("</td>");
                out.println("</tr>");
            out.println("</table>");
        } catch (IOException e)
            throw new JspException(e);
        return SKIP_BODY;
}My questions are as follows:
*1.* Is it possible to define a tag using a JSP document rather than a Java class? All I'm really after is something similar to an include but I want to be able to provide attributes to it in the long run.
*2.* Is there some library function I can use to escape the HTML in the VO above?

1. Is it possible to define a tag using a JSP document rather than a Java class? All I'm really after is something similar to an include but I want to be able to provide attributes to it in the long run.Yes. It was introduced with JSP2.0: tag files.
Just like a JSP lets you write a servlet easily, a tag file lets your write a Custom tag class easily.
http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/bnama.html
2. Is there some library function I can use to escape the HTML in the VO above?
There is one provided in the jakarta commons "lang" library.
http://commons.apache.org/lang/
They provide a class "StringEscapeUtils" which will do most of the common escaping that you require.
How hard is it to write something that replaces & < and > though?

Hide an HTML button using javascript

Hi,
I need to hide an html buttton using javascript. I have an radio button with values "YES" and "NO". If is select NO then i need hide the button without refreshing the page. Can anyone suggest me how to hide an button using javascript.
Thanks
Prashanth

Prashanth,
The exact solution will vary based on a few factors. The basic idea is to place an event handler on the radio button item that calls a function to hide/show the button. You might also want to call that function when the page loads too.
If you put an example page on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password I'll take a look. You can create a new account for this purpose.

Player for dynamic live streaming

Hello. I run a FMS 3.5 Server and I do not have much knowledge about it. I want to use the dynamic streaming function that FME provides, but I do not have a player that supports the dynamic switching. I looked into ActionScript and Flex but it is all to complicated for me. Can somebody sent me a link where I can download such a player or can somebody give me help so I can figure this out? Thanks!

Thank you for the link but it does not solve my problem. In this thread they work with manifest xml files like a playlist. Which i tryed but also doesn´t work. Adobe declairs FMP with easy config and less code for non geeks. And this is exactly what i want for my project.
Does anybody can post some html sample code especially for dynamic streaming/ MBR wit Flash Media Playback??? For Live or On-Demand.
Best
