Stop looping Javascript alert popup?

I am learning javascript. In trying to learn code, sometimes I use the "alert" command to check and confirm the results I am looking for.
Typically I do that from within Dreamweaver's live view. Once in a while, I inadvertantly create an "alert" message that loops continuously and I seem to be stuck not being able to close it unless I use task manager to shut down Dreamweaver.
Is there a more gracefull way to terminate the looping alert message without having to terminate dreamweaver?

Not really. This would require you to work with explicit return values and define a function that deals with the error messages on that basis rather than branching inside the actual code. Way to convoluted and impractical, as you would be adding lots of code just for that only to rip it out when done. For JavaScript development, use tools like Eclipse that can handle this within their debugging environment.

How to show javascript alert popup after commandLink action?

Hi,
I'm building an ADF-based .jspx page. I have a commandLink whose action calls a method in my page's backing bean. I want to show a javascript alert popup when the commandLink is clicked and after the backing bean method has been called. The text displayed in the alert popup is dependent on whether the processing in the method was successful or not.
I couldn't figure out how this could be done though. It doesn't seem I can use the onClick attribute on the commandLink because that gets called before my backing bean method gets called. From my backing bean method, is there some way to launch a javascript alert popup and show certain text in it based on what happened in the method?
Thanks for any ideas.

Hello and thank you for your reply,
I am trying to combine dwr and ADF.
When I use the following code to grasp the input value from the user
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding expr = fc.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings['LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable2'].inputValue}");
setLIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable( expr.getValue(fc).toString() );
in order to use it as a dynamic bind variable to the where clause of the following query:
vo.setWhereClause("LIMARXESPORTCODE = :LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable");
vo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable", null, null);
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable", LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable );
executeAndShowResults(vo);
in the backing bean java code. All I get as an output from a javascript alert window is null.
However, when the bean member variable LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable has a
hard coded, static value i.e. LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable = 111; and the first code snippet is commented out, everything works just fine!
Any hint is welcome,
T I A.

How to stop javascript alert popups from stealing tab focus?

I have two gmail accounts, and usually a lot of tabs open. So sometimes I log into my other gmail account while a tab somewhere else still is logged in to my other. Sooner or later, the gmail with the old login session notices this, and makes a little alert() popup telling me I've been logged out, a couple minutes after I checked my emails on the other account.
Now the problem is, that firefox because of this alert() popup instantly jumps to that tab, and I lose my place in my tab-jungle. This is very annoying. How do I prevent this inactive tab from stealing my focus/alert messages autofocusing tabs?

Hello,
Yes I know, but I don't want to do this. Is there any way to stop firefox from behaving this way?
Thanks

Javascript alert boxes are wrapped in Windows 7 with IE 8

I can't count the number of JavaScript alert boxes I have throughout my systems and they have always made the transition between IE browsers from 6 to 8 without a hitch. Without a hitch until I setup my first Windows 7 machine. It is a 64 system that has both 32 & 64 bit IE browsers.
It doesn't matter which of the two versions I use, the JavaScript messages that I have so carefully crafted with just the proper layout are now wrapped. The resultant text in the new W7 popups is almost unintelligible because it is so badly scrambled/wrapped on the new white background.
Since an alert box is simplicty itself, there is no way that I can think of to change the inherent size of the box.
Has anyone else notice this phenomena??? If so, do you have a way around it short of redoing all of the text in the effected boxes???

XP machine's JavaScript Alert popup in IE 8
W7 machine's JavaScript Alert popup in IE 8 with wrapped text

HMM I have the same problem. My researches suggest that the Zone.Identifier ADS is still being used for the internet zone, but not the Intranet zone. I too can get an intranet location out of IE, but not by querying Zone.Identifier eg using Powershell. This
issue is present in XP as well as Win 7. It appears to extend to trusted zone ids.
One hypothesis is that this is being stored in hidden form to prevent zone ids that decrease security being applied by malware.
I had thought that maybe the intranet zone id was only present during download - but your experiment suggests otherwise.

Javascript alert stops button firing in IE

This isn't really an Apex issue, it seems to be the way IE works - but I wonder if anyone has a work-around?
1) I have an item with an onchange event that displays an alert - e.g. onchange="alert('Hello');"
2) I have a button SUBMIT that submits the page in the usual way.
If I enter some data in the item, then move the mouse over to the SUBMIT button and press it, the onchange event fires and displays the alert. However, the SUBMIT is not performed, so I have to press the button a second time. Annoying, really. In Firefox it works fine.

Tony,
I'm curious if this would work: onChange="javascript: return showAlert();"Or maybe even more simply back to your orginal onchange: onChange="javascript: Alert('Hello'); return true;"--Jeff

Animated Gif won't stop looping!

I'll try to format my question as best I can.
I have created a Java chat applet, and for the Java chat, I have created a "ChatPane" class for displaying the chat. ChatPane is an extension of Canvas, and every time the paint() method is called, the program loops through visible lines of text drawing them on a buffer image, then draws the buffer on the screen.
My problem lies in animated gifs. In my chatroom, chatters can type textual symbols that will be replaced with an image (or emoticon). I have created my animated icons in a popular animated gif editing program, and I have set particular icons to loop 3 times. The problem is that when the animated icon is displayed in my applet, the animation -doesn't stop- after 3 loops, it loops forever! I can't for the life of me figure out why! Can anyone provide any insight as to why the animations won't stop after 3 loops? The animations work just fine if displayed in a browser by themselves (they stop looping after 3 times)
Thank you for any help!

Tony N.

From what I understand of your problem;
- You have made your own animated gifs
- With the software to make these gifs you have set them to loop their animations 3 times
- They loop continuously
I don't see how java can be expected to interpret the animated gif software instructions to loop only 3 times and would assume that there are various proprietry ways of setting this (an assumption based on applets /javascript etc, that rely on the client-side browser interpreter). So, if you loop your animated gif or have any form of animated gif that you import into your program with getDocumentBase /getCodeBase as a (pre-animated) gif, then this is exactly what I would assume would happen.
The answer is to seperate your images with eg;-
smiley1[0];
smiley1[1];
smiley1[2];
run a seperate thread, cycle through them as you wish and stop.
I'm fairly sure that there is nothing in either the swing libraries or the jmf libraries that can resolve this any other way, so your choices are write extra code and have a pool of threads to control this, or leave it as is.

How to verify JavaScript alert message display on page with C#?

Hi All,
I have a question about verify the JavaScript alert message on page. For example, I input the script in browser address like: "javascript:onmouseover=alert('popup windows')" . How to verify there's a alert message displayed on page with C#?
Thanks

Are you trying to use some automation or ? What the previous solution is they have put the text in the dom for you to pull out with C# or other languages.
if you are trying to automate this through a browser maybe look into WebDriver
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 2);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert(); var alertText = alert.Text;
alert.accept();

Javascript alert script needed when calculation does not equal 100

I have created a fillable form and have a total box which I've set to calulate the sum of Field1, Field2, Field3 and Field4
which works well.
I would like to add a javascript alert if the total amount does not add to exactly 100 to stop the user submitting the form or moving to next question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hi try67,
I have implemented successfully the following:
event.value = ''; // clear field
// get the values of field 1 and 2 as string
var sField1 = this.getField("field 1").value.toString();
var sField2 = this.getField("field 2").value.toString();
// adjust for a field being 100 and the other is null
if (sField1 == 100 & sField2 == '') sField2 = "0";
if (sField2 == 100 & sField1 == '') sField1 = "0";
// do only if field 1 and 2 are not null
if(sField1 != '' & sField2 != '') {
event.value = Number(sField1) + Number(sField2);
if (event.value != 100) app.alert("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!", 1, 0);
} // end not empty
Just wondered if you can let me know what I need to add to stop the form being submitted(email submit button) if the amount is not 100?
So the same alert appears ("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!")
Currently if the fields exceed or are below 100, then the alert message ("Fields 1 and 2 must sum to 100!")
appears once and you can still tab to next field, or click on next field or submit the pdf.
I was hoping to add validation on submitto be similar to required fields where you are alerted if not filled in and cannot submit until you imputted the correct calculation sum up to 100?

Javascript alert in Web Planning - timing when it pops up?

Hi all,
Javascript alerts such as
alert('Layout not available, check your header combinations?')
are easy to set up using the text component (html=true) in the web interface builder.
My problem is that when using 'Tabs' (tab component), if you navigate between the tabs and your alert condition is activated, then the alert appears BEFORE the rest of the screen is rendered.
Normally, the use of the 'onload' html statement in the <body> tag allows one to ensure some event only happens AFTER the entire page is downloaded/rendered into the web, but, because of the nature of our web BSP's used for planning web interfaces, it is really difficult to influence this html attribute.....!!
In simple words, on navigation from one tab to another, does anyone out there know how to make my popups only popup AFTER all images have been rendered into the web page.....rather than BEFORE......??
My guess is not one of you even know what I am talking about, eh?
Many regards,
Rael

Rael, there was a lot of requirements through my personal experience, which cannot be accomplished fully in WIB. And very often these requirements were very critical to client.
So just all web-planning applications, that I did, were extended through se80.
And this is quite normal approach, because even SAP itself recommends development of own planning interfaces in case of complex requirements to user interface.
>because the changes can be lost
The necessary additions: buttons, layouts and so on can be made manually in se80 at any time later.

Javascript alert when showing all rows of a huge table ( 2000 rows)

i've got this problem. I need to show all the rows of a table, i'm using ADF 10.1.3.4.
What have i done so far?first of all i created a command link
<af:commandLink shortDesc="Mostra Tutto" id="showAll"
disabled="#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefrIter.estimatedRowCount == 0}"
action="#{backing_editReferenza.onShowAll}"
/>
In the backing bean i set the rangeSize of the table to -1
public String onShowAll() {
Object objShowAll = getSession().getAttribute("showAll");
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb = fc.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefrIter}");
DCIteratorBinding dc = (DCIteratorBinding)vb.getValue(fc);
int oldRangeSize = dc.getRangeSize();
dc.setRangeSize(-1);
int rangeSize = dc.getAllRowsInRange().length;
dc.setRangeSize(oldRangeSize);
if ("Y".equals(objShowAll)) {
getSession().removeAttribute("showAll");
Integer oldRange =
(Integer)getSession().getAttribute("oldRangeSize");
getSession().removeAttribute("oldRangeSize");
getTable1().setRows(oldRange);
} else {
getSession().setAttribute("showAll", "Y");
getSession().setAttribute("oldRangeSize", oldRangeSize);
getTable1().setRows(rangeSize);
return "";
// AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getTable1());
Everything runs smoothly, but i have a problem if the table has lots of rows: i get a javascript warning that a script has been running for too long. (The alert goes: "Stop the execution of the script?" the usual javascript alert you get when a script runs for too long)
What i want to achievt is that, if the table contains a lot of rows, the page takes a lot of time to load, but with no javascript involved (it's just a normal slow page).
It seems that in some way the rows of the table are fetched by javascript and since the call is synchronous, it trigger the alert.
This is how i declared the method iterator
<methodIterator id="findAllVwEntePrmzRefrIter"
Binds="findAllVwEntePrmzRefr.result"
DataControl="FePrmzSLESSEJBLocal" RangeSize="10"
BeanClass="it.ws.sma.prmz.ejb.model.VwEntePrmzRefr"
Refresh="deferred"
/>
and this is how i declared the table
<af:table value="#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefr1.collectionModel}"
var="row" styleClass="tableRefr #{backing_editReferenza.tableReferenzeStyleClass}"
rows="#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefr1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefr1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.findAllVwEntePrmzRefr1.viewable ? 'Nessuna referenza trovata' : 'Accesso negato'}"
binding="#{backing_editReferenza.table1}" id="table1"
banding="row" bandingInterval="1"
partialTriggers="btnEliminaRefr btnSvuotaPromo btnRemove btnAdd insVeloce">
has anyone an idea onwhat could i do to have the table load all the rows from the server but withouth the alert?

Sorry i haven't explain it well...
the app is used to replicate entire databases, or agrupations of tables, from one database to another and it will have to be vendor independent... I'm trying with DB2, Oracle and MySQL. Later i will test it with more.
Then I couldn't use vendor dependent SQL neither configuration parameters. Also I prefer to make the import logging the actions: for restoring purposes; maybe the user will have the option but defaults to the ohter.
I'm thinking about some "strange" query SQL Stardard, like delete from table where (select .... using some kind of counter....

How do i save the source code of a javascript alert in safari?

I am trying to save the source code of the javascript alert in safari but the menu items blank out.
Is this even possible?
dave

Eventhought it is a usefull function which i did not know about it is not helping me. This is what hapens.
I request an url and get a javascript alert back from the server. The javascript alert triggers that is i get a popup where I can only press ok. If i do not press ok i can not do anything else. the safari menu's are greyed out. if i do press ok i get redirected and i can not read the javascript page with your suggestion.
what i want is read the source for that javascript alert so i know what it says (my filemaker database that is) but because that option is greyed out i am stuck.
here is the link i use to get the javascript popup:
https://www.login.alex.nl/klanten/portfolio/portefeuille-xls.asp?print=true
the javascript says i am not loged in.
if i get this javascript alert in firefox i can ask for the sourcecode, read it and do stuff that is log in. I just do not understand how i can change safari so it does the same thing as firefox.

Disable IE 10 & 11 Security Alert popup w/ Group Policy

We get a Security Alert popup when accessing a https site
"You are abut to view pages over a secure connection....."
With previous version of IE, user can simply check box for "In the future, do not show this warning" and it will not pop up again, however, w/ the new IE 10 and IE 11, it keeps coming back. What is the group policy rule to disable this pop
up?
Thanks in advance.
Roget Luo

Hi Roget,
It seems that we can enable the following setting to block the warning message:
Computer Configuration/User Configuration > Adminstrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer >Turn off the Security
Settings Check feature
Besides, apart from group policy, if we just want to individually block the message, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Stop security warning in Internet Explorer

Invoke Javascript alert withing a PLSQL Function Block

Hello,
I am having trouble trying to achieve the following functionality. I have a page with an update button. On submit of this update button I have created a PL/SQL Function Body which returns TRUE for CASE 1, and FALSE for CASE 2. If CASE1 is achived then the process will update the data in the underlying table and will do nothing for CASE2. What I simply want to do is for CASE2, I also want to throw up an Alert informing the user that he is in CASE2. My existing PL/SQL function looks something like:
BEGIN
IF CASE 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END;
I want something like:
IF CASE 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
javascript:alert('Update did not work!');
END;
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Mitesh

If you have submitted the page it is too late for javascript to run, javascript runs in the client, and the pl/sql runs on the server. If you want that to popup at that point you will need to have it popup on onLoad of the resulting page. Or do all of the validation in javascript then have javascript submit the page.

OBIEE 11g: Dashboard not invoking simple javascript alert

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to invoke one simple ALERT command with javascript in obiee 11g dashboard. The purpose is when it loads, it should print one ALERT message and also when we change something in the prompt and clicking Apply button.
Here is code written in a text item (Checked html markup option) after prompts;
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("Hello");
</script>
The Javascript alert message is showing when the dashboard page loads, but its not coming when we click the Apply button after changing the prompts.
Can anyone give helpful hint, how to check it and why its not showing up when we press Apply button?
Any hint or some useful links will b highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You just used code and I would say the default event is onload of the page, thats the reason you are able to see alert.
Since you didnt ask or written code onClick event to show alert, its not showing.
You need to tell to browser when to prompt alert message instead of onload.
Hope you are more confuse about 'how to do'
if yes, mark :)
give some more info about your actual req. that helps any other gurus to help.
