I'm working on creating a scorm package (2004 3rd Edition) that has several pages within it. I'm creating a home page that lets you choose which item to navigate to. However, I'm running into the issue that no form of javascript navigation will work to change to any page.
Using this package example (manifest only) from the scorm site I've done some testing. According to the manifest choice mode is enabled.
<imsss:controlMode choice="true" flow="true"/>
However, whenever I go to the etiquette page then get the API object and attempt any form of navigation, it fails.
API.GetValue("adl.nav.request_valid.choice.{target=playing_item}");
API.SetValue("adl.nav.request", "{target=playing_item}choice");
After setting the adl.nav.request then the Terminate("") call fails. The diagnostic is:
"Failure calling the Terminate remote callback: the server replied with HTTP Status <div class="notifyproblem">Target Activity does not exist or is unavailable</div>true"
Choice mode is enabled, but this rule is likely overriding it.
<!--
'Disabled' will cause the SCO to be visible in the course tree, but not accessible via choice or flow.
-->
<imsss:ruleAction action="disabled"/>
Why not try this feature out with this simple golf example first?

I am working on a custom action for our company's shopping cart website. It is a software that is installed and setup, and we are able to add to it by creating custom actions. I created an ASP.NET (web forms) page that uses SignalR to add to it, but whenever it tries to grab an instance of the hub within javascript, it is always undefined.
In Chrome, I can see signalr/hubs, and there are no 404 not found errors on the page either. It works perfectly fine when running it in debug from VS 2012, but not from within the web site on the server.
I am certain I have deployed all the necessary components, and have tried many approaches to changing the way it finds the hub, but nothing seems to work.
I can provide code samples if needed.
I found the issue. It was related to the name of the hub being misspelled in javascript. Once that got fixed, then the function name needed to be changed in javascript so the first character is lowercase. It is working as intended now.
I m developing a Single Page Application (SPA). So, I use to refresh the page's HTML's content dynamically using Ajax requests.
I'd like to register to the DoubleClick for Publishers program, but I m wondering if my SPA is able to integrate advertising due to its dynamic content loaded without refreshing the page.
I saw this link: https://support.google.com/dfp_sb/answer/3058726
So I assume it's ok. But I'd like to be certain before starting using DFP. Could someone confirm please?
Then, sometimes I m using external html pages that I still load using Ajax. Should I consider writing the advertising banners JavaScript inside these external views, or directly inside the master page of my app?
Last question: How can I manage users having an adblocker software installed? Am I allowed to detect the presence of an adblocker software using JavaScript and then execute some specific code for this kind of users?
I'm working in a SPA and working with DFP successfully. Here is my feedback to your questions:
So I assume it's ok. But I'd like to be certain before starting using
DFP. Could someone confirm please?
Yes, you can refresh the banners using the method you are refering in the link you shared
Then, sometimes I m using external html pages that I still load using
Ajax. Should I consider writing the advertising banners JavaScript
inside these external views, or directly inside the master page of my
app?
To load them externally will bring you to lower performance results. You can control everything from the main page and you will have better results.
Last question: How can I manage users having an adblocker software
installed? Am I allowed to detect the presence of an adblocker
software using JavaScript and then execute some specific code for this
kind of users?
This is something I have not started to work on it but you can detect (like forbes.com is doing on it website) and there are also projects on dealing with this.
I'm searching for a framework that could allow me to emulate user browsing session.
A typical session looks like:
Browse to home page, get session
Be redirected to current page
Click on some link
Get connected
Submit a form
and co...
I would like to be able to define this session using API calls.
What frameworks would you recommend to be able to run this setup? It should be run headless (not inside the browser), to be able to execute via Hudson.
Language does not matter, python of java would be great.
Thank you,
Maxim.
There are multiple frameworks which can do this. Check out:
https://github.com/axefrog/XBrowser
http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/
and the answer to this question:
Alternative to HtmlUnit
Have a look at htmlunit
Its even got decent javascript support, its Java based.
Support for the HTTP and HTTPS protocols
Support for cookies
Ability to specify whether failing responses from the server should throw exceptions or should be returned as pages of the appropriate type (based on content type)
Support for submit methods POST and GET (as well as HEAD, DELETE, ...)
Ability to customize the request headers being sent to the server
Support for HTML responses
Wrapper for HTML pages that provides easy access to all information contained inside them
Support for submitting forms
Support for clicking links
Support for walking the DOM model of the HTML document
Proxy server support
Support for basic and NTLM authentication
Excellent JavaScript support
take a look at Selenium WebDriver with Xvfb.
this post shows an example in Python:

I work in an area where the business users heavily depend on bookmarks to access their work-related web applications. Our standard browser is Internet Explorer v6. We have a new Flex application - when you add the site to Internet Explorer Favorites, then later try to access the site with the Favorites link, we get the following error message: "internet explorer cannot open the internet site http://our url. Operation aborted". If we then bring up the properties for the link and remove the trailing "#' from the url, the link works.
What is this trailing "#", and can it be removed? Is there a way to have Internet Explorer bookmarking to work for this site (other than manually editing the bookmark)? The problem doesn't occur in Firefox (but not everyone has access to that browser).
The trailing # is used to provide information to your client-side framework. It was originally meant to provide the ability to link to anchor points in an HTML document. It has been "hijacked" by JavaScript frameworks to provide state information to Flash and Flex applications.
The primary benefit of using # to navigate is that the browser doesn't navigate off the current page - meaning you only need to load your framework once. Traditional URLs would force an entire page reload.
Most likely you can't remove it. You should be able to provide a means for a secondary URL scheme that encodes what you need in a query string (?foobar=1).
You will need to configure server-side processing to either redirect the user to the hash URL or load the necessary information via a JavaScript hook to your Flex framework.
You might also look into the new Google Chrome plugin for IE.
You can turn this off in the compiler parameters in Flex Builder. Go into the project settings, then in "Flex Compiler" uncheck the box that says "Enable integration with browser navigation".
I am building a Flex Application that calls a .aspx page on the same webserver which builds a PDF report using SQL Reporting Services. When the report is built it prompts the user to open or save the PDF.
We are trying to find a way to display a Progress Bar to let the user know that the report they requested is being built, and then destroy the Progress Bar once the report is finished being built.
I've tried opening a new window using JavaScript and trying to catch when the window closes, as well as trying XMLHTTPRequest, but nothing to seems to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
There are 2 options:
Use the FileReference class in Flex to programmatically invoke your aspx file. You will be able to track the progress of the call from within Flex by listening to its events. But the users can only save the PDF, not open it.
Have an intermediate HTML page that displays a loading icon and then refresh itself to your PDF generating ASPX page. Encode your aspx url along with parameters etc and set it as a parameter to this intermediate page so it knows what to load.
If you don't have control over the page to be able to put JavaScript on it to hit a URL (or call back to the parent/opener), then you might consider whipping up an aspx page of your own to host a ReportViewer control, and display the report inside of that. This would require you to create a .NET website with a page and a web.config - you wouldn't need to do more than make it receive any parameters your report needs, and it would be do-able via inline-to-the-aspx code as opposed to requiring in-depth .NET knowledge.
Or, you could hit the SS-RS API and render the report directly. Here, you'd craft a URL with parameters for the report on the SS-RS API site to accept. I think, though I don't know for sure, that the SS-RS UI uses the API itself behind the scenes. By default the API is hosted in a site called "reportserver" - you might sniff HTTP traffic while the report is being rendered to get you started with the URL that you'd need to hit.
Another option not mentioned here is to create a .Net webservice, add it to your flex project and when it hits the result handler you know the file is created at that point.
