Using button control in google maps API - google-maps-api-3

I am using the following code to cause events based upon button clicks. When I click the button,the page reloads but no change occurs in the map
form action="#" onsubmit="animate(); return false" p inputtype="submit"value="Zoom!" / /p /form function animate() { map.setZoom(10); }
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thank you

If you've got return false, and the page reloads, that usually implies to me that there's a javascript error. Check the javascript error logs, or use Firebug, to see if there are errors happening. e.g. is map defined as a global variable?

FlowRouter without page reload

I am following this example https://kadira.io/academy/meteor-routing-guide/content/rendering-blaze-templates
When I click on my links the whole page is being reloaded. Is there any way to load only the template part that is needed and not the whole page?
Edit: Also I noted another problem. Everything that is outside {{> Template.dynamic}} is being rendered twice.
Here is my project sample. https://github.com/hayk94/UbMvp/tree/routing
EDIT: Putting the contents in the mainLayout template and starting the rendering from there fixed the double render problems. However the reload problems happen because of this code
Template.mainLayout.events({
"click *": function(event, template){
event.stopPropagation();
console.log('body all click log');
// console.log(c0nnIp);
var clickedOne = $(event.target).html().toString();
console.log('This click ' + clickedOne);
//getting the connID
var clientIp = null // headers.getClientIP(); // no need for this anymore
var clientConnId = Meteor.connection._lastSessionId;
console.log(clientIp);
console.log(clientConnId);
Meteor.call("updateDB", {clientIp,clientConnId,clickedOne}, function(error, result){
if(error){
console.log("error", error);
}
if(result){
}
});
}, // click *
});//events
Without this event attached to the template the routing works without any reloads, however as soon as I attach it the problem persists.
Do you have any ideas why this code causes such problems?
EDIT 2 following question Rev 3:
event.stopPropagation() on "click *" event probably prevents the router from intercepting the click on link.
Then your browser performs the default behaviour, i.e. navigates to that link, reloading the whole page.
EDIT following question Rev 2:
Not sure you can directly use your body as BlazeLayout target layout.
Notice in the first code sample of BlazeLayout Usage that they use an actual template as layout (<template name="layout1">), targeted in JS as BlazeLayout.render('layout1', {});.
In the tutorial you mention, they similarly use <template name="mainLayout">.
That layout template is then appended to your page's body and filled accordingly. You can also change the placeholder for that layout with BlazeLayout.setRoot() by the way.
But strange things may happen if you try to directly target the body? In particular, that may explain why you have content rendered twice.
Original answer:
If your page is actually reloaded, then your router might not be configured properly, as your link is not being intercepted and your browser makes you actually navigate to that page. In that case, we would need to see your actual code if you need further help.
In case your page does not actually reload, but only your whole content is changed (whereas you wanted to change just a part of it), then you should make sure you properly point your dynamic templates.
You can refer to kadira:blaze-layout package doc to see how you set up different dynamic template targets in your layout, and how you can change each of them separately (or several of them simultaneously).
You should have something similar in case you use kadira:react-layout package.

How to call javascript using SSRS

just want to ask. I've built a reports(SSRS) in ASP.NET(vb). But my problem is, I can't call the javascript in my SSRS to open a new form in ASP.NET, but instead of opening new form I just change to basic show message function. Here's my expression in my textbox in the report ="javascript:test();". The test is a function inside ASP.NET. But when I generate the report, the link in my report doesn't do anything. Is there any problem in my function or in SSRS?
function test(){
alert('Test');
return;
}
I've already have a solution. ="javascript:void(window.showModalDialog('"+ First(Fields!CompanyURL.Value, "SYS_DEFAULTS") + "/logged/dialog_window.aspx?p=master_customers.aspx&objcode=1&recid="& Fields!AccountCode.Value &"'))" but I'm not satisfied because when I mouse over my field. It show the path of my source code. :(
Go to Series chart action properties
="javascript:void(window.parent.test('" + Fields!DeviceStatus.Value+"'))"
And write function Aspx webpages
<script type="text/javascript">
function test(testing) {
alert(testing);
return;
}
</script>
The SSRS report viewer is embedded in an iFrame, so it doesn't have direct visibility to the parent HTML page's functions. You might be able to get to your test function via the following code, but there's no guarantee:
javascript:window.parent.test();
If that doesn't work, then I'd guess you're out of luck. The only other option I can think of is to inline the function body to your javascript: call directly.

ASP.net: Triggering immediate client side scripts during an image rendering

I have a web application that creates a graph on another aspx page. Sometimes the graph cannot be created to specification because there is an error in the user specification (such as a string where an integer was expected).
I would like to immediately pop up an alert window telling them that something went wrong when I was trying to render the graph.
The thing is, I don't know how to immediately check to see if I should insert a script for an alert window. Once my code on "chart.aspx"(image URL) is executed, I don't know how to immediately check if anything went wrong from the main page. I know it happened in the code in chart.aspx, but other than not to not render the image or render a different image, I don't know how to tell the user before another postback. I would really like to see if there is any sort or event or stage in the page lifecycle after one of the images is rendered.
If this is not possible, how can I chart.aspx convey an error message to default.aspx if it is simply an image. Maybe some sort of Response.Write(...?)
Thanks again guys.
Maybe you could try monitoring the image's load events and handle onabort and onerror via javascript?
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_image.asp
Image Object Events
Event The event occurs when...
onabort Loading of an image is interrupted
onerror An error occurs when loading an image
onload An image is finished loading
The old school way of doing this would be to render your image tag like below:
<img src="chart.aspx" onerror="alert('Image failed to load because XYZ.');" />
Nowadays, I'd recommend you use jquery, something like this:
<img src="placeholder.gif" class="chart" alt="chart">
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
var img = $(document.createElement('img'));
img.on('error', function() { alert ('...'); });
img.on('load', function() { $('img.chart').attr('src', img[0].src); });
});

JavaScript puzzle to solve : window.confirm = divConfirm(strMessage)

Scenario is : old site which has lots of JS code already written. If user want to change all the alert messages to new age jazzy Div based alert which are very common using JQuery, YUI, Prototype... etc.
There are mainly tree JS dialogs
1. alert
To changes this its simple we just have to write new function which will show the div popup and show the message, after that override the window.alert
function showDivAlert(strMessage){
//div popup logic and code
}
window.alert = showDivAlert;
2. prompt
This too look easy to write function to accept the string and show the text box for input value. Now as return action is based on the click of "OK" button life is easy here.
function shoDivPromp(strMessage){
//div pop up to show the text box and accept input from the user
}
window.prompt = shoDivPromp;
3. confirm
Now above two were easy to override and modify the default dialogs but there is complication with the confirm.
However default JS confirm dialog stops JS execution and when user click OK or Cancel execution is resumed by determining the return value (true/false). But if we user div popup the execution is not stopped which is problem. We can still implement the confirm but in that case we have to bind methods for OK and CANCEL case which will be attached to OK and CANCEL button. With this function signature will be like.
function newConfirm(msg, fun OkAction(), fun CancelAction)
Now this is problem that this cant help me change the confirm dialog across the site as we did with alert();
Question
I am not sure whether its possible or not to achieve but i think can be using some JS pattern. So let me know if its possible.
Now this is problem that this cant help me change the confirm dialog across the site as we did with alert();
That's correct. It's not possible to reproduce the synchronous nature of the alert/confirm/prompt functions in native JavaScript. There is the non-standard method showModalDialog which can do it using a separate pop-up document, but it's not supported by all browsers and it's generally considered highly undesirable.
So the plug-in-replacement strategy isn't going to work. You are going to have to change every place you called these methods in the rest of the script.
The usual pattern is to do it using inline anonymous functions, to preserve the local variables using a closure, eg. replace:
function buttonclick() {
var id= this.id;
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to frob '+id+'?'))
frob(id);
wipe(id);
}
with:
function buttonclick() {
var id= this.id;
myConfirm('Are you sure you want to frob '+id+'?', function(confirmed) {
if (confirmed)
frob(id);
wipe(id);
});
}
If you need this to be preserved you would need to look at a further nested closure or function.bind to do it. If you have your call to confirm in a loop things get considerably more difficult.
Obviously you also have to ensure that critical global state doesn't change whilst the confirm box is up. Usually this risk is minimised by greying out the rest of the page with an overlay to stop clicks getting through. However if you have timeouts they can still fire.
All 3 methods actually stop js execution, not just the confirm, because they're all modal dialogs. Personally, I would try to keep everything as asynchronous as possible as modal dialogs prevent interaction with the current document.
Your best bet is to use callback functions from the new confirm popup as you suggested yourself.
I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you want to achieve. It sounds like you want to do something like the following:
Run some javascript code
Display a "confirm" box
Wait until the ok button or cancel button is clicked
Continue code when user clicks ok, return when user clicks cancel.
The reason you want to do this is that overriding the function with something that makes use of callbacks would require rewriting each section of code that uses the confirm function. If you want my advice, I would go ahead and rewrite the code so that it performs asynchronously. There's no way you can delay script execution without locking up the document which includes the OK and Cancel actions of your dialog.
if you changed the roles Alert / Prompt / Confirm. slows the execution pending user interaction to run the following code.
Overriding these functions, the code continues its execution.
To achieve this you have to modify each part of the code and work as if you were with asynchronous functions.
Then you can use any plugin for windows as sexy-alert-box, and overwrite Alert / Prompt / Confirm
The function signature would simply be:
function newConfirm(msg, okAction, cancelAction);
and would be used as:
function newConfirm(msg, okAction, cancelAction){
var ok = doWhateverPromptIsNecessary();
if (ok) {
okAction();
} else {
cancelAction();
}
}
That is, to pass function "pointers" in to a function as arguments, simply pass in the function name without the (). The function signature is the same.

ASP.NET linkbutton raising onBeforeUnload event twice

I've posted this here, but thought it might deserve a question on its own.
What I'm trying to do is show a dialog box that asks the user if he/she wants to leave the page if there are unsaved changes. That all works fine. But the problem is described below:
Has anyone come across the problem where Internet Explorer fires the onbeforeunload event twice? While Googling around, I found it has something to do with the fact that for (among others) an ASP.NET linkbutton the HTML code is <a href="javascript: __doPostBack....
Apparently, when IE encouters a link that doesn't have a href="#", it fires the onbeforeunload event. Then, when you confirm the javascript dialog box we're showing, the page will do the 'real' unload to navigate to the other page, and raise the onbeforeunload event a second time.
A solution offered on the internet is to set a boolean variable and check on it before showing the dialog. So the second time, it wouldn't be shown. That's all well, but when the user cancels, the variable will still be set. So the next time the user wants to leave the page, the dialog won't be shown anymore.
Hope this is a little clear, and I hope someone has found a way around this?
In reaction to annakata: Yes, but you want the result of the dialog box to be used by the browser. So you might think using 'return bFlag' would do the trick (or event.returnValue = bFlag), but that gives you a second dialog box.
I've found a way around, thanks to this page. It's quite simple actually:
var onBeforeUnloadFired = false;
Use this global variable here:
if (!onBeforeUnloadFired) {
onBeforeUnloadFired = true;
event.returnValue = "You'll lose changes!";
}
window.setTimeout("ResetOnBeforeUnloadFired()", 1000);
And then implement that function:
function ResetOnBeforeUnloadFired() {
onBeforeUnloadFired = false;
}
So, in effect, use the flag, but reset it if the user clicks cancel. Not entirely what I would like, but haven't found anything better.
I haven't encountered this, but surely you could set the flag variable to be equal to the result of the dialog? If the user cancels the flag will therefore remain false.
var bFlag = window.confirm('Do you want to leave this page?');
IE supports an event on the document object called onstop. This event fires after the onbeforeunload event, but before the onunload event. This isn't exactly pertinent to your two dialogs question, but its still relevant to other people that might stumble on this thread ( as I did ).
The problem I was having, was that I needed to display a loading message upon the onbeforeunload event firing. This is all fine until the page has some sort of confirm dialog on it. The onbeforeunload event fires even if the user cancel's and remains on the page. The easiest thing for me to do was to move my "loading" display logic into a handler for document.onstop. On top of this, you have to check the readyState property of the document object, which is another IE-only field. If its "loading", it means the user is actually leaving the page. If its "complete", it means the user is staying.
If you are fine with just using IE, then you might be interested in the following.
document.onstop = function()
{
try
{
if( document.readyState != "complete" )
{
showLoadingDiv();
}
}
catch( error )
{
handleError( error );
}
}
