when I publish in flash 8 Is there a problem with the
getURL("javascript:self.close()"); command?

check the topic "pop up window", posted on 25-3-08

Hi Solman's,
I put my system to Stack 12. After that, SMD and Self Diagnosis not working any more. Here the message:

Note
The termination occurred in system MMS with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.

Hello Wolfgang,
You have to activate the service dswp_sd_self_diagnosis.
Run transaction SICF, on Service Name, enter dswp_sd_self_diagnosis.
Right-click on the service and select "Activate Service".
Run the Setup Wizard of Diagnostics System on SMD to register the program WEBADMIN.

Hello, maybe someone could figure this one out.
I have a file that I have done on CS5.5 and everything works fine, just simple ActionScript 2 and a script: on (release) { getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('http://xxxxxxx.html','thewin','height=800,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,top=560,left= 140')"); }
when I then open the SAME file in CS6 and publish it, everything else works BUT not this pop-up??

JavaScript popup code not working 4 me

Hi,
I am to trying to open pop windows in Flash through
JavaScript. Now I found a number of ways to do this on the forums
but none is working for me. When I click the swf button containing
the pop code (embedded in html), nothing happens. I do not have pop
windows blocked, and when I click the button in stand alone swf
file (i.e. not embedded in html), I receive the following error
message:

operation. The following application on your computer or network

Anyone got a clue what’s happening? I was wondering
whether there was problem with settings on my computer? Also, I do
not want to embed JavaScript code in the HTML file.
Many thanks,
Essaeyu

What I want to achieve is something very basic, done n times
on the web, but its strange that its not working on my machine. I
am getting popups through getURL function and on HTML links but not
from swf/javascript links. This includes linking both to the
webpages on the internet e.g. google and pages on my machine. I
have tried three different ways of achieving this and am attaching
thecode. Can someone look at the files please and see what’s
wrong/spot something I overlooked? I will be extremely grateful.
Here is the code in the fla's (and html in one case). No
facility to attach files else i would have done so. Though the
flas/swf/html files can be downloaded from:

These are three zip files posted by user essaeyu today.

Binding to a javascript function is not working

I am trying to use the following code to bind to a javascript
function and it's not working. I finally had to use jQuery to bind
the event handler, but I would like to see the CF generated stuff
work. Am I missing something here?
This jquery code is the workaround:
$('.match').change(function(){
updateSA(this);

Binding is not restricted to flash forms. I can bind directly
to a cfc without problems, but in this case I need to send more
info to the cfc than a single field would provide. You're supposed
to be able to bind to a javascript function using the syntax above,
but it's not working properly.
More details here:

Javascript block through javascript.enabled false not working as expected in newer versions, any actual way?

Since a few versions, around 24.0 or earlier, when you toggle javascript.enabled from true to false to block javascript, doesn't work after load a page.
Further details:
1.- load a page with javascript enabled
2.- toggle javascript preference to block javascript (javascript.enabled from true to false)
3.- if you interact with javascript elements = they still work
This wasn't this way in earlier versions.
You can check in the following page. You'll see that the only way to actually block javascript execution is to load the page with the preference javascript.enabled set to false (A.K.A. javascript blocked):
http://www.geocities.ws/jothache/event_listener.html
Note: to easy change javascript preferences, for those don't want to play with about:config you can use addons like QuickJava:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickjava/
I find that how it works now, in the latest versions, it is a VERY HUGE SECURITY ISSUE as javascript is never actually blocked when the preference is toggled and AJAX (httpXMLrequest through javascript) still works so the possibilities of lost of privacy inreases, as for example, mouse tracking and send it to the server, not only as the example scripts I posted above.
The question is, is there anyway to really block javascript in the latests versions or should I report this as a bug?
Regards.

Hi guigs2,
if there is no problem in open the bug ticket being a simple user I'll report by myself (if I haven't misunderstood you). (Confirm this and I'll do myself).
About the AJAX problem, here we have a sample test that works after toggle the preference:
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_http.asp
I know about noscript and I don't like it. I prefer to do manually (those measures and more). What bothered me is that even toggle the preference, what in the past did the job of stopping the execution of scripts, now doesn't. In about version 24 it was only happening to event listeners not being blocked (used nowadays for dynamic events assignments). Now is with every javascript code.
About the tracking methods, I'm aware of HTTP tracking without any need of javascript. Even a simple "knock knock" on any kind of server leaves a trace.
I was just pointing that this preference stopping doing its job (stopping scripts executions) has the worst sceneario in a security way with XMLHttpRequest calls.
But one of the things that bothers me too, and it is not related to tracking, is that, in humble machines as mine, some javascript codes make drop whole performance and the preference toggle now does nothing, so the script keeps running without being able of doing anything and sometimes you don't have the option to load a page without javascript because you need some feature of that page that requires javascript what becomes "all or nothing".
Regards.

Javascript Date() function not working

Hi,
I'm experiencing some problems with the Date() function in javascript. The problem is that the function doesn't seem to work. For example when I do "var date = new Date(); xfa.host.messageBox(date);" in the enter event of a date field, I get "Date is not a function" error message in de javascript debugger.
Is there anyone out there who knows how why the Date function is not working in LiveCycle Designer. Am I using the Date function in an improper way or maybe I am using the wrong function?
Please can anyone help me out?

Hi Paul,
Thanx for you reply. It worked fine.
I also found out that following works as well:
var MyDate = util.scand("dd-mm-yyyy",new Date());
console.println("this date: "+util.printd("dd-mm-yyyy", MyDate));

Javascript focus() is not working anymore in firefox 22, thank You

With this sample code, focus() is not working
<pre><nowiki>Name <input name=cName id=cName size=50 onblur=chkName(); />
<br>
Last Name: <input name=cLastName id=cLastName size=50 onblur=chkLastName(); />
<br>
Another Field:
<input name=cAnother id=cAnother size=15 />
<script>
function chkName() {
var cName = document.getElementById('cName').value;
if ( cName == '' ) {
alert("ERROR");
document.getElementById('cName').focus();
function chkLastName() {
var cLastName = document.getElementById('cLastName').value;
if ( cLastName == '' ) {
alert("ERROR");
document.getElementById('cLastName').focus();
</script></nowiki></pre>

Yes of course.
The function example I posted would be called by the onblur event and not by a submit. as has been stated previously, I also remember that it used to work. Perhaps I am wrong.
Since that is not working, I am suggesting that the OP will be forced to use the onsubmit and validate at that time to solve the problem as was also previously suggested. Using the onSubmit and returning false on invalid does work for me.
Since my last post I did determine that I can pass the id to a window.settimeout and have it work correctly, but this still does not stop the form from being posted in FireFox. Whereas an onblur navigation cancellation does prevent posting in Chrome and IE.
this is important to note because if you are depending on your javascript to validate your data you can get betray because not all the browsers treat it the same way. This is by no means a FireFox only problem. they all have their quirks.
I just wish there was a standard that we could depend on.

JavaScript alert() is not working in mozilla 19.0.2.Why?

I have created a .aspx page in it i have added gew javascript function containing alert(). But niether the functions nor the alerts are invoking.why? i have created a javascript function on keypress event as:
function isSpaceKey(evt) {
// debugger;
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode
if ((charCode < 47 || charCode > 57) && charCode != 8) {
alert("Enter Numeral Values only!");
return false;
return true;
and added validation summary in .aspx page enabling its message box if user validation fails . But it is also not working. Before using Firefox i was using IE on which it was working fine. What is the problem? Thanks.

JavaScript in form not working on webpage

With the help of this forum, I was able to create a PDF form that had javascript. The javascript was basically if then statements. The the person selects "A" in dropdown one then they get "B" or "C" in dropdown two; if the person selects "D" in dropdown one they get "E" in dropdown two etc... It works perfectly on my desktop. However, I tried to upload it to our website and the javascript is not working. It allows the person to select a choice in dropdown one but regardless of what they select dropdown two does not have anything to select. Do I need to do something special to make PDFs with javascript work on a website?
Donna

The users of the form need to download Adobe Reader and adjust Chrome to use Adobe Reader and not Google Chrome's PDF viewer.
For those using mobile devices, not all apps for mobile devices have the same ability as a computer nor do they all have the same ability. For iPads your best choice would be PDF expert and for android qNotes or ezPDF Reader. Note that most mobile apps do not understand document level functions and the JavaScript date object. Since apps are frequently updated and new features are constantly being added it is nearly impossible to keep up with the revised apps features.

Javascript time counters not working with Safari 5.1.4

New Safari 5.1.4 made my website javascript time counters frozen and not working. I am using jQuery library on my site.
You can see the preview of the problemhere: http://headiil.ee/
What is the problem with this new Safari update and how can it be solved?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
