While creating select option in dojo
dojo.byId("it1").add(dojo.create("option", { value:'1',innerHTML:'Iteration 1' }));
I got a Invalid argument error in IE8, rest of the browsers works fine.
This is due to that browsers has implemented sort of a fail-over mechanism. Or maybe even the standards has changed, not sure which it is.
Fact remains, that in older browsers, the option element had an odd implementation. Consider the following programmatic creation of a new option DOM:
text='Iteration 1';
value=1;
defaultSelected = false;
selected=false;
document.getElementById('myselect').options.add(
new Option(text, value, defaultSelected ,selected)
);
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dd757810(v=vs.85).aspx
The API also has arguments, indicating if option is selected or not. But the interesting part here is the parameter text
It roughly translates into
var opt = document.createElement('OPTION');
opt.text = text;
opt.value = value;
You will find, that programmatically created selects (using innerHTML approach) will not work properly in IE prior to and including IE8. The element is simply not connected to its parent form and thus, not sent to server on submit.

In After Effects scripts, if you want your script to be able to be docked in the program's workspace, the only way to do it as far as I know is to use a resource string like this:
var res = "Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], alignChildren:['fill', 'fill'],\
group1: Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', ''], alignChildren:['fill', ''],\
button1: Button{text: 'Button'},\
},\
}";
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);
The above code creates a script UI with one button ("button1") inside a group ("group1").
I would like to know other ways to create the same resource string. Is it possible to make it using a JSON object and then stringifying it??
I know it can be done somehow, because I have inspected the Duik Bassel script that is dockable and, for example, adds elements like this:
var button1 = myPal.add( 'button' );
but I cannot understand how to do it myself.
TL;DR: I want to make a dockable scriptUI without writing a giant string all at once, but bit by bit, like a floating script.
UI container elements have an add() method which allows you to add other UI elements to them, and you can treat them as normal objects.
var grp = myPanel.add("group");
grp.orientation = "column";
grp.alignment = ['fill', 'fill'];
grp.alignChildren = ['fill', 'fill'];
var group1 = grp.add("group");
…
var button1 = group1.add("button");
button1.text = 'Button'
More details and examples here: https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/user-interface-tools/types-of-controls.html#containers
Also worth checking out https://scriptui.joonas.me/ which is a visual scriptUI interface builder. You have to do some work on the code it produces to get panels for AE, but it's not hard.
extendscript still uses a 20th century version of javaScript, which doesn't have JSON built-in, but I have successfully used a JSON polyfill with it.
I used json2.js to get structured data in and out of Illustrator, and it worked beautifully, but I can see there's now a json3.js which might be better for whatever reason. This stackoverflow question addresses the differences.
To load another .js file (such as a polyfill) into your script, you need to do something like
var scriptsFolder = (new File($.fileName)).parent; // hacky but effective
$.evalFile(scriptsFolder + "/lib/json2.js"); // load JSON polyfill
These file locations may differ in other Adobe apps. Not sure what it would be in AfterEffects. I seem to remember that InDesign has a different location for scripts. You can also hardcode the path, of course.
Good luck!
I have code. It work sex years ago
var elem= doc.createElement( '<span>' );
elem.innerHTML= text;
if text is <div align="center" valign="center" style="display: run-in;"></div>
I can inspect that elem.firstChild.align is OK, but elem.firstChild.style.display and elem.firstChild.valign are null,
Why? what is changed? How to create and assign values as I did?
The js engine isn't letting you set a value that isn't supported.
run-in wasn't fully supported and so if you did:
elem.firstChild.style.display = 'run-in';
// then do
elem.firstChild.style.display; // the outcome/result is ""
however if you use a supported value:
elem.firstChild.style.display = 'inline';
// then
elem.firstChild.style.display;// displays "inline"
Check support for the browser you are using to confirm. webkit did initially support it, Mozilla didn't (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127874). May have been dropped now in chrome and shouldn't be used if you are looking at keeping things consistent across browsers.
I am creating a script that involved searching for a record and then updating the record. On the search screen, the user has the option of viewing advanced search options. To toggle showing or hiding advanced search is controlled by one button.
<a title="Searches" href="javascript:expandFilters()"><img border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Advanced" src="****MASKED URL****"></a>
The only difference between the properties of the search button when it is showing or hiding the advanced search is the img src:
When advanced search is hidden the IMG src ends with "/Styles/_Images/advanced_button.jpg", when advanced search is visible, the IMG src ends with "/Styles/_Images/basic_button.png"
When I open the page, sometimes the Advanced search options are showing, sometimes they aren't. The value that I want to search on appears in the Advanced section, so for my script to work I have added an IF statement.
<input type="text" value="" maxlength="30" size="30" name="guiSystemID">
The IF statement looks for the fields that I need to enter data into, and if the field does not exist then that would indicate that the Advanced options are not visible I need to click on the button to expand the search option.
I created the following IF statement.
if (!driver.findElement(By.name("guiSystemID")).isDisplayed()) {
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("img[alt='Advanced']")).click();
}
When I run the script and the Advanced search is expanded then the script runs successfully. However, when I run the script and the Advanced search is not expanded, the script fails, advising me that it could not find the object "guiSystemID". This is frustrating because if it can't find it then I want the script to continue, entering into the True path of the IF statement.
Has anyone got any suggestions about how else I could assess if the field is appearing without having the script fail because it can't find the field.
Thanks in advance

I might be late in answering this, but it might help someone else looking for the same.
I recently faced a similar problem while working with isDisplayed(). My code was something like this
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed() )
{
/**Do this*/
}
else
{
/**Do this*/
}
This code works pretty well when the element that isDisplayed is trying to find is present. But when the element is absent, it continues looking for that and hence throws an exception "NosuchElementFound". So there was no way that I could test the else part.
I figured out a way to work with this(Surround the {if, else} with try and catch block, say something like this.
public void deleteSubVar() throws Exception
{
try
{
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed() )
{
/**when the element is found do this*/
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
/**include the else part here*/
}
}
Hope this helps :)
I've had mixed results with .isDisplayed() in the past. Since there are various methods to hide an element on the DOM, I think it boils down to a flexibility issue with isDisplayed(). I tend to come up with my own solutions to this. I'll share a couple things I do, then make a recommendation for your scenario.
Unless I have something very specific, I tend to use a wrapper method that performs a number of checks for visibility. Here's the concept, I'll leave the actual implementation approach to you. For general examples here, just assume "locator" is your chosen method of location (CSS, XPath, Name, ID, etc).
The first, and easiest check to make is to see if the element is even present on the DOM. If it's not present, it certainly isn't visible.
boolean isPresent = driver.findElements(locator).size() > 0;
Then, if that returns true, I'll check the dimensions of the element:
Dimension d = driver.findElement(locator).getSize();
boolean isVisible = (d.getHeight() > 0 && d.getWidth() > 0);
Now, dimensions, at times, can return a false positive if the element does in fact have height and width greater than zero, but, for example, another element covers the target element, making it appear hidden on the page (at least, I've encountered this a few times in the past). So, as a final check (if the dimension check returns true), I look at the style attribute of the element (if one has been defined) and set the value of a boolean accordingly:
String elementStyle = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("style");
boolean isVisible = !(elementStyle.equals("display: none;") || elementStyle.equals("visibility: hidden;"));
These work for a majority of element visibility scenarios I encounter, but there are times where your front end dev does something different that needs to be handled on it's own.
An easy scenario is when there's a CSS class that defines element visibility. It could be named anything, so let's assume "hidden" to be what we need to look for. In this case, a simple check of the 'class' attribute should yield suitable results (if any of the above approaches fail to do so):
boolean isHidden = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("class").contains("hidden");
Now, for your particular situation, based on the information you've given above, I'd recommend setting a boolean value based on evaluation of the "src" attribute. This would be a similar approach to the CSS class check just above, but used in a slightly different context, since we know exactly what attribute changes between the two states. Note that this would only work in this fashion if there are two states of the element (Advanced and Basic, as you've noted). If there are more states, I'd look into setting an enum value or something of the like. So, assuming the element represents either Advanced or Basic:
boolean isAdvanced = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("src").contains("advanced_button.jpg");
From any of these approaches, once you have your boolean value, you can begin your if/then logic accordingly.
My apologies for being long winded with this, but hopefully it helps get you on the right path.
Use of Try Catch defies the very purpose of isdisplayed() used as If condition, one can write below code without using "if"
try{
driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed();
//Put then statements here
}
Catch(Exception e)
{//put else statement here.}
If clarification is needed, please let me know. If it can't be done, please let me know this as well. I am desperately trying to figure this out still
I was following Google's Dev guide to the Share button at the following site:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/
and I can not seem to figure out how, if it's even possible, to use a custom icon AND use the current URL instead of having to specify a URL.
I found this section of their site that specifies an anchor tag address:
"https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}"
This would allow me to use a custom icon (and the only way I can use a custom icon as far as I can tell) and a few other custom parameters as well. But it looks like this method requires a specified URL and, as far as I can tell, provides no method to dynamically create the link depending on the current page.
If I use the code generator at the top, it will use the current page, but it calls on a Google hosted Java Script and in addition, it is a hover link that pops up when I hover over the icon. And of course, I also can't use a custom icon with the generator either.
I've been Googling every search term I could think of and searching this site as well and I haven't been able to find anyone else asking this question as of yet. I figured after about 20-30 minutes of searching that I wasn't going to find my answer via searching, so i apologize if this has been answered.
Just some background on my experience to give an idea of where I sit: I have a decent grasp of the workings of HTML and CSS. Javascript, however, I understand very very basic theory and that's about it. I definitely intend to learn, however, as it will prove a very valuable skill.
Thank you very much!!
I think I know what needs to be done, but...I don't know how to do it (or if it would even work) :|
my share link needs to link to a script that looks at the current page's URL, and then takes that information, and creates a dynamic link from it that will take the user to the following link: https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL from query will be here}.
I think that might work...it sounds like it would. Any thoughts? If so, any simple scripts around that would do just this?
Double thanks!!
--I finally found something that works, but it uses Javascript and I don't fully understand it, just enough to tweak it. It took me forever to find this, but it works with Google Plus, Facebook, or Twitter! (and I'm sure it will work with any other website that supplies a Share Link that requires a specified URL)
Here it is, I'm still looking for a better solution, but this does exactly what I was looking for:
<a href="javascript:(
function(){
var w=480;var h=380;
var x=Number((window.screen.width-w)/2);
var y=Number((window.screen.height-h)/2);
window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'
&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title),'','width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y +',
scrollbars=no');
})();" style="background: url(/wp-content/themes/HTML5/images/googleplus.png) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;">
Share to Google+</a>
EDIT! After spending some months learning Javascript, I've built a solution that is much better than that which is provided below. I'll leave my original answer, however, I want to place this better solution at the top.
This solution should work on ANY social media platform that gives you a custom share URL (that is to say, a url that allows you to manually type in an address to share).
Here is how it all works (and if anyone has any suggestions or tweaks that have more experience with JS, please let me know).
I assign variables to the document.URL and document.titleproperties.
I write a named function (I called mine, socialShare) that is set to run via an anonymous function on the window.onloadevent.
The socialShare function assigns variables to the location of my social button's within the HTML. In my case, I used IDs to locate the elements. The purpose of these variables is purely for aesthetics (I use these variables to re-write the the HTML code dynamically, so that when you hover over the share button, it displays the correct URL for sharing the current page you are on)
var fbShare = document.getElementById("fbShare");
var gplusShare = document.getElementById("gplusShare");
twitterShare = document.getElementById("twitterShare");
I then write three separate anonymous functions, one for each social media platform. Each function has two statements. The functions work as follows: the first part is the variable assigned to the location of the HTML element with the ID fbShare. The second part tells it to run the function when that element is clicked; .onclick. The third part is the anonymous function that will run when that element is clicked. The first statement of this function will open a new window; window.open; and in that new window, it will open the URL that is specified by feeding the window.open method parameters. The parameters are as follows (URL,name,specs) where URL is the URL you want to share, name is optional and left blank as seen by the empty set of quotes, and finally specs is where you specify attributes of the window (IE: width and height). The first parameter, the URL: ("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL, currentURL is the global variable that was assigned earlier and will place whatever the current documents URL is, in place of currentURL. The second parameter, the name: "", This is left blank, as it is optional. The third parameter, the specs: "height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0"); These are a comma-seperated list of items. In my case, I've specified a height, width, and the location of the window, as well as disabled the menubar. Finally, the second statement, return false; tells the browser NOT to follow the link inside the HTML code. If this was not specified, then the browswer would follow the URL in the HTML, AND open a new window. For more information on the window.open method, please see the link at the bottom of this new answer.
fbShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL,"","height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
gplusShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL,"","height=550,width=525,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
twitterShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle,"","height=260,width=500,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
And finally, I modify the HTML href elements of each social media button so that when the user hovers over the share buttons, they see the correct Share URL displayed in their browsers status bar. The first part of this statement grabs the element id, fbShare and the second part tells it to set an attribute, .setAttribute. Then we pass in the attribute name that we want to change, ("href", in this case, and then we pass in what we would like the new attribute value to be, "http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL); currentURL is the same here, as earlier. It is the variable that holds the value for whatever the current page's URL is.
fbShare.setAttribute("href","http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL);
gplusShare.setAttribute("href","https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL);
twitterShare.setAttribute("href","https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle);
That's about all there is to it! I hope I wrote this well and I hope it is relatively easy to follow. If any pros out there have any suggestions, please feel free to toss in and give your advice! :)

OLD ANSWER: I figured I'd add this as an answer. It does the trick and solves the exact problem that I had. The URL after 'window.open' would be the social media's Share Link (in the case of the example, it's google plus' Share Link. There are a few variables that can be either modified or removed. Anyone that's good with scripting could probably create a PHP version (which I would LOVE) or modify it to better suite their needs. At any rate, I hope this will help someone out!

Native Window Open function its not a good idea, browsers like Mozilla and Chrome block pop up. I think its better use a plugin to open a new windows with the share url, like jquery popup plugin. Work very fine for me and browser cant block it.
Copy an paste into a new js file like original name: 'jquery.popup.js'
jQuery.fn.popup = function(options) {
var defaults = {
width: screen.width/2,
height: screen.height/2,
titlebar: false,
status: false,
resizable: true,
toolbar: false,
scrollbars: true,
menubar: false
};
var options = jQuery.extend(defaults, options);
Boolean.prototype.setProperty = function() {
if (this == true) { return "yes"; } else { return "no"; }
};
jQuery(this).click( function() {
var target = this.target;
var href = this.href;
var posY = (parseInt(screen.height/2)) - (parseInt(options.height/2));
var posX = (parseInt(screen.width/2)) - (parseInt(options.width/2));
var win = window.open(href, target, 'titlebar=' + options.titlebar.setProperty() + ', screenX='+ posX +', screenY='+ posY +', left='+ posX +', top='+ posY +', status=' + options.status.setProperty() + ', resizable=' + options.resizable.setProperty() + ', toolbar=' + options.toolbar.setProperty() + ', scrollbars=' + options.scrollbars.setProperty() + ', menubar=' + options.menubar.setProperty() + ', width='+ options.width +', height='+ options.height);
win.focus();
return false;
});
return this;
};
USAGE:
<script src="jquery.last.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.popup.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function(){
//simple load
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480 });
});
</script>
<a class='popupLink' href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<?php echo URL;?>">Share Facebook</a>
ALSO YOU CAN PASS OPTIONS LIKE THE PLUGIN EXAMPLE OPTIONS
<script>
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480, resizable: false, menubar: true });
</script>
The author website dont exist any more. This are the information that comes with the plugin comments
/*

You can also use PHP to resize the window but here is the PHP version... Have fun :)

I'm using Dojo dnd version 1.7.2 and it's generally working really well. I'm happy.
My app maintains many arrays of items, and as the user drags and drops items around, I need to ensure that my arrays are updated to reflect the contents the user is seeing.
In order to accomplish this, I think I need to run some code around the time of Source.onDndDrop
If I use dojo.connect to set up a handler on my Source for onDndDrop or onDrop, my code seems to get called too late. That is, the source that's passed to the handler doesn't actually have the item in it any more.
This is a problem because I want to call source.getItem(nodes[0].id) to get at the actual data that's being dragged around so I can find it in my arrays and update those arrays to reflect the change the user is making.
Perhaps I'm going about this wrong; and there's a better way?
Ok, I found a good way to do this. A hint was found in this answer to a different question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1635554/573110
My successful sequence of calls is basically:
var source = new dojo.dnd.Source( element, creationParams );
var dropHandler = function(source,nodes,copy){
var o = source.getItem(nodes[0].id); // 0 is cool here because singular:true.
// party on o.data ...
this.oldDrop(source,nodes,copy);
}
source.oldDrop = source.onDrop;
source.onDrop = dropHandler;
This ensures that the new implementation of onDrop (dropHandler) is called right before the previously installed one.
Kind'a shooting a blank i guess, there are a few different implementations of the dndSource. But there are a some things one needs to know about the events / checkfunctions that are called during the mouseover / dnddrop.
One approach would be to setup checkAcceptance(source, nodes) for any target you may have. Then keep a reference of the nodes currently dragged. Gets tricky though, with multiple containers that has dynamic contents.
Setup your Source, whilst overriding the checkAcceptance and use a known, (perhaps global) variable to keep track.
var lastReference = null;
var target = dojo.dnd.Source(node, {
checkAcceptance(source, nodes) : function() {
// this is called when 'nodes' are attempted dropped - on mouseover
lastReference = source.getItem(nodes[0].id)
// returning boolean here will either green-light or deny your drop
// use fallback (default) behavior like so:
return this.inhertied(arguments);
}
});
Best approach might just be like this - you get both target and source plus nodes at hand, however you need to find out which is the right stack to look for the node in. I believe it is published at same time as the event (onDrop) youre allready using:
dojo.subscribe("/dnd/drop", function(source, nodes, copy, target) {
// figure out your source container id and target dropzone id
// do stuff with nodes
var itemId = nodes[0].id
}
Available mechanics/topics through dojo.subscribe and events are listed here
