I´m using AspPDF together with Classic ASP to create PDF files and I have a page that is build dinamically based on POST requests.
After that, I need to get this HTML that has been dinamically created and insert all of it inside a variable, so then I can send it to AspPDF method at the end of the page.
(I know AspPDF has a method that converts page based on URL, it does not work for me in my specific case)
Because I have several if statements and loops, I have no idea how to store all current HTML generated in a variable.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks
i am not familiar with AspPDF, but my question is:
can you store everything in some variable and once html completly generated then send content by using
Response.Write VarHTML
Because I have several if statements and loops, I have no idea how to store all current HTML generated in a variable.
like this:
VarHTML = VarHTML & "your html code"
VarHTML -- just variable you create

I was hoping someone had any insight on this basic approach. Sample scenario:
I have a dashboard template with menu links a(href "/page") and I want to click the links to render a different section/view on the template. I used block content...but does it need a specific route?
If I understand correctly, you want to update the content of the page on click of the link without the page getting refreshed.
In that case, no you can't do it using block content.
The purpose of block content is to apply inheritance in your templates.
The typical use of block content would be creating a layout and then creating more specific page from the layout. This is what the official documentation says.
The reason why you cannot do it because, jade is server side templating library. This resolves the block content on server. Once rendered in client, the html looses all the information that was specific to jade (which is obvious because its an html afterall).
What you can do here is
Create a /page.jade and make a ajax call to a service. That service should return an already compiled html string. Since you are using jade, you can easily use jade.compile(source, options) to template / generate html.

I want to invoke a procedure in one page and use it in another page, and the response is only used by the next page, so I think JsonStore is not suit for that. Should I define a global var?
Is there any code sample to do such things? Thanks for your help.
I presume by pages you mean different HTML files. If so, that is not recommended, Worklight is intended for single page applications. There are no code samples that show how to do that.
I would recommended having a single HTML page and using something like jQuery.load to inject new HTML / DOM elements. By dynamically injecting new HTML your single/main HTML file shouldn't be too big and you can destroy (i.e. remove from memory / the DOM) unused DOM elements. Searching on Google for page fragments and html templates could help you find examples. The idea is that you don't lose the JavaScript context.
Maybe you can get away with doing a new init to re-initialize JSONStore (it won't delete any the data, just give you access) on every new HTML page and use get to get access to the JSONStore collections to perform operations such as find.
I am working on an app that reads XML and displays content accordingly with whats contained n the XML. Now i have the XML part done but i need one other part and that is to load a Small section of html code into a web browser element. Is there anyway for me to either dynamically create a html file (i was thinking maybe create one and save in storage then load from there?) or directly insert code into the web browser element.
Failing this i'll just create a php page on my server that adjusts according to value its passed.
You can store your entire HTML code in a string variable and call the NavigateToString method.
myWebBrowser.NavigateToString("myHTMLcode")
How you create the HTML string depends on your app but you could store a basic template and use String.Replace to replace any particular items in the code.
Hi guys I'm working on this application using activeadmin. I've come to a point where I would like to add in some ajax based functions. I have the basic form set up using teh activeadmin resource and it generates a very pretty form.
I would like to while the user is entering the details on the form - run a ajax call which would retrieve some html based on the values being entered and populate it on the page.
More likely I would like a way to add custom javascript to the page. Whats the best way to do this - I'm facing issues with returning html without the entire activeadmin layout coming with it.
You can use the /config/initializers/active_admin.rb
You can add javascript resources like this:
config.register_javascript 'my_functions.js'
I use to put code directly to /app/assets/javascripts/active_admin.js
You can also include script in /config/initializers/active_admin.rb
I need to find a way to write a program (in any language) that will connect to a website and read dynamically generated data from the website.
Note that it's dynamically generated--it's not enough to get the source html, because the data I'm interested in is generated via javascript that references back-end code. So when i view the webpage source, I can't see the data. (For example, go to google, and do a search. Check the source code on the search results page. Very little of the data your browser is displaying is reflected in the source--most of it is dynamically generated. I need some way to access this data.)
Pick a language and environment that includes an HTML renderer (e.g. .NET and the WebBrowser control). Use the HTML renderer to get the URL and produce an HTML DOM in memory (making sure that scripting is enabled). Read the contents of the HTML DOM after the renderer has done its work.
Example (you'll need to do this inside a System.Windows.Form derived class):
WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();
browser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
HtmlDocument document = browser.Document;
// extract what you want from the document
I used to have a Perl program to access Mapguide.com to get the drive direction from one location to another location. I parsed the returned page and save to database. If the source never change their format, it is OK. the problem is the source format often change, your parser also need change.
A simple thought: if we're talking about AJAX, you can rather look up the urls for the dynamic data. Then you can use the javascript on the page you're talking about to reformat this.
If you have Firefox/greasemonkey making a DOM dumper should be a simple matter.
