Stack OverFlow in Plain Javascript - asp.net

I am using simple windows.open function to open up a popup window. While teh same is working fine in another page.
Basically there is a user control and that user control has simple table. In there I am using a link button where ONClientClick I am using windows.open('some.aspx'). But it is giving error like Stack OverFlow at line No.
I am unable to get the basic meaning if this thing, why this error can generate and what it signifies?
Thanks.

Basically: You have a function that (directly or indirectly) calls itself, until it nests too deep and the browser kills your javascript to stop it getting worse.

Google Apps Script onclick event doesn't work in firefox 20 on mac. Cannot use the given object as a weak map key

My Google Apps Script web app stopped working.
Whenever I click on any element that has onclick property I am getting the following error message:
[11:27:44.243] cannot use the given object as a weak map key
Is there any workaround?
How can I get user's response without onclick event?
My code:
Note that I am trying to add onclick event using both ways, programmatically in JavaScript and by using HTML.
var by = document.getElementById("yes");
by.addEventListener('click', submitResponse,false);
This problem was submitted as google apps script issues:
http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=2625
thanks for help!
Since this is an acknowledged issue with Apps Script, there isn't much that can be provided here in Stack Overflow.
Here is a bit more context, this was broken and now fixed in Caja. This fix should be reflected in Apps Script in a few days.

Flex: PopUpManager giving "...null object reference" error

I have a main application calling several ViewStack states, each with popup windows. If I don't open any popup windows, I can move between states fine. If I open a popup window then try to change the state using currentState=... I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at spark.components::Scroller/focusInHandler()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\Scroller.as:2139]
at flash.display::Stage/set focus()
at mx.core::UIComponent/setFocus() [E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:9905]
...
I see others having the same problem, for example here:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-32036?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel
But I haven't figured out how to implement the recommended solution. It sounds like I should just include:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager; PopUpManager;
inside my main application and it should work, but it doesn't work for me.
My application has each view state in a different file, each defined using <views:View>. Also, all of the popups are separate files defined as <s:TitleWindow>. Each file includes this line:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
I wonder if this means each file is using a different popup manager(?), when it's a singleton and only one should be used for the whole app (how to set that up?).
The code I use to call a popup is:
var _popupName:MyTitleWindowFileName = MyTitleWindowFileName(
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyTitleWindowFileName, true));
_popupName.addEventListener(MyAppController.CLOSE_POPUP,onClosePopUp);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_popupName); // call popup
Note that when the main application (the one defined as <s:Application>) runs, the ViewStack states have not been loaded yet (since they get loaded when they are used the first time). Not sure if that has any cause/effect here.
I've tried to follow Adobe's example code in the "Passing data to and from a Spark pop-up window" section here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-8000.html#WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-7ffe
Any ideas much appreciated.
Based on your comments, it seems like the error occurs because the focus remains in the popup. I would expect the PopUpManager and FocusManager classes to handle this better.
One thing I can think of is that the FocusManager may be trying to handle this. But since the state changes, the item that originally had focus (in the view stack child, before the pop up was opened) may no longer be there when the view state changes. Just a hunch, w/out seeing your code.
Here's some things you can do to either work around the problem (or better) further debug it to understand what is happening:
Use FocusManager.setFocus() to move the focus back to an object in the view stack child before closing the pop up
Use FocusManager.getFocus() to debug and see where it thinks the focus is at various stages (before opening popup, before/after changing state, and before/after closing pop up).
It appears this is the situation I'm experiencing:
Adobe Air: scroller throws error when changes focus between different applications
It's an Adobe bug. Solution from Adobe is:
This bug is easily fixed by changing Scroller to do a null pointer check on focusManager before using it.
which is what the first link above attempts to do.

Does an mx:Window component have it's own applicationComplete?

I'm working on an app that, from the Main.mxml, opens one or many Window.mxml instances. When it's done I want all windows to be chromeless so the custom controls need to work.
In Main I've added applicationComplete="init();" so the init function gets ran, which contains clickhandlers, which makes the buttons work.
However, this way of running an init function doesn't seem to be valid for an mx:Window.
I can cheat by not using a clickhandler for the minimize and close buttons with a click="this.minimize();", but I don't know of a way like this to make the move work because it's a MOUSE_DOWN event.
Question 1:
Is there a way to have such an init function in an mx:Window?
Question 2:
What's a good way to make the buttons on the Window instances all work?
ps. If you think question 2 needs a separate post please let me know, they're so closely related and seemingly simple I couldn't decide.
Example code:
Main.mxml - http://pastebin.com/0HHVpkb8
Window.mxml - http://pastebin.com/g5TWuLYk
Window doesn't have an applicationComplete event, but it does have windowComplete event. Perhaps that would work for you. There is a list if Window events here.

does showModalDialog interfere with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript?

I'm showing a modal dialog via "window.showModalDialog(..." which happens in a vbscript function (the page shown is aspx). I'd like to do some resizing of the window based on the number of rows in a datatable that's coming back. So naturally I go to register a startup script that resizes the window based on the number of rows. Well, that didn't work, so I tried to register a script that just showed a msgbox.
The code looks like (in the OnLoad event handler):
if (!this.ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(typeof(MyPageClassName), "hello"))
{
this.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(MyPageClassName), "hello",
#"<script language=vbscript>
sub fnWindowOnLoad()
MsgBox ""hello""
end sub
<script>", false);
}
if (!this.ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(typeof(MyPageClassName), "hello"))
{
throw new Exception("Failed to load script");
}
To me it looks like this should work and show a message box that says "hello" when the page loads (I've got the window's onload event set to fnWindowOnLoad). But what happens is nothing, no exception, no alert. I've tried every Type I could think of in the typeof call. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I can think of is that since the dialog is a modal ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript won't run properly. But that doesn't make any sense to me.
I put the MsgBox "hello" call into my script block directly and the alert showed, so it's possible. But I need to modify some arguments in the code behind so I have to use RegisterStartupScript as far as I can tell.
Have you tried opening your window via window.open() rather than window.showModalDialog()? I've seen some postings on the web about incompatibilities between showModalDialog() and RegisterStartupScript.
showModalDialog() is an IE only method, so it's not recommended anyway. I know it's convenient because it returns a value, but there are various ways to simulate this functionality.
Edit: The other problem with showModalDialog() is that IE often caches the results. This means that if one time you calling the dialog, you do not resize it, then another time you do, then 2nd time might get your the first cached dialog. A way to get around this is to add a unique querystring at the end. Like MyDialog.aspx?q=320934 (randomly generated or generated based on server tics).
The solution for this was to have a script that read a value out of a hidden field and then resized the dialog. The value was set on the Page_Load. Using RegisterStartupScript never seemed to work, neither did RegisterClientScript, so I'm pretty sure modal dialog and RegisterXxx don't get along. Need to use window.dialogHeight & window.dialogWidth in the vbscript.

Asp.net and JavaScript pop up windows

I am writing an intranet application and am considering the use of a pop up window. I am not worried about accessibility since it's an intranet app.
The scenario is such as I need to be able to have the same code be used in a server page as well as in the middle of a process; which is why I decided when using it in the middle of the process, it's best to have it as a pop up window to running out of the real estate on the screen.
Any thoughts on this? I am hesitant to use a pop up window in such a manner as I usually only use it for error messages.
I don't completely understand what you're trying to do, but I think a popup window might be somewhat of an issue if the user's browser automatically blocks popup windows. Plus, if you were trying to run a process in the popup window, the user could close it and no longer have a way to check on the process.
Would it be possible to use Ajax to call back to a web service that gives the page information about the process? You could give the user a way to make the Ajax call to check on the status of the process or just have it continually polling in the background.
Edit:
You said you weren't too familiar with Ajax. For the most part, there are libraries to handle all the of hard details. I'll recommend jQuery because that's what I've been using for a while now.
If you go the Ajax route you'll be able to contain everything on one page and make the updates you need to make when the Ajax call is successful. Depending on how you write the code, it should be pretty reusable if you do it right. It really depends on how specific the your needs on each page.
Take a look at the jQuery documentation though. It may have what you need already built into it. Otherwise, someone else might be able to suggest some reasons why their favorite JavaScript library works better for what you're trying to do.
I think you might want to do something like this:
Inside of the parent page:
<input id="btnShowModal" runat="server" type="button" value='Show Modal' onclick="ShowModal()" />
function ShowModal()
{
var retVal = window.showModalDialog("MyPopup.aspx?param1=value","","center=yes;dialogWidth=200px;dialogHeight=200px;status:0;help:0")
if(retVal != "" && retVal != undefined)
{
//This code will be executed when the modal popup is closed, retVal will contain the value assigned to window.returnValue
}
}
Inside of the modal popup:
<input id="btnSave" runat="server" type="button" value='Save' onclick="Save()" />
function Save()
{
window.returnValue = "Whatever you want returned to the parent here"
window.close()
}
The usual argument against popup windows is that they are unreliable. The user may have disabled script initiated popups, I know I have.
In a controlled environment, such as an inranet, you may be able to be guaranteed that this is not the case, but even so, why risk it, there is an alternative.
Instead of popping up a new window just insert a new, absolutely positioned <div> into the document and insert your content into that using ajax or even an <iframe>. There are lots of examples/libraries on the web.
Thickbox for jQuery for example. There are of course scripts that don't require libraries.
I generally use a div with a z-index and absolute positioning; the .show() can be written and called on demand, it would have a button to .close(), and AJAX can make it seem modal so it must be clicked to close if you so desire. Then again, I hate messageboxes.
I was trying to avoid AJAX, simply because I have never used and don't have the time frame to learn it now. However, I am not totally opposed to it.
In short what I need to do is for the pop up window interact back with the page. Imagine that on the page I am building the links of the chain. Each link has unique properties. When user clicks on "ADD LINK" button, I was thinking have a pop up window with the little form and a Save button. The only issue with this is that a pop up needs to interact with the page; we need to know when something has been saved or not saved.
A div on the same page is one way. A pop up is yet another way. Another catch is that this code (adding new link) needs to be reusable, because I am also going to have a page that just creates new links.
