N.Z.'s Champion posted:Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Prototype. It probably has some convenience methods for selecting nodes in an XML document but, yeah, I don't know. alternately just suck it up and use the plain old DOM interfaces, they're really not that bad once you write about 40 lines of helper code, I can't believe people are actually recommending switching toolkits to avoid some simple DOM manipulation. And I thought -I- was lazy, sheesh.

Lumpy posted:Pretty sure every browser comes with those... don't reinvent the wheel, especially since users will *always* use the ones on the browser instead of yours. HTml Application. It's basically a balled up wad of html & scripts (vbscript usually) that looks like an application to the user - sort of like a CHM. I don't think it has fwd & back buttons, hence the question. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/htas.mspx I've always been surprised that they're not more popular.

FWIW, HTAs let you read/write to the filesystem, so comparing them to AIR is at least in the ballpark.

just gonna drop in and mention that no one should ever modify Object.prototype because it means that not only will you have to stop using Objects as hashtables, but anyone who uses your code will have their Object-based hashtables break. Not that anyone was saying you should, but just thought I'd mention it.

SuckerPunched posted:To add to this, you could also install the Firebug extension to get even better Javascript debugging if you're using Firefox. If you're not using FF, I suggest you start because debugging Javascript in IE (and, in my opinion, even in Safari, Opera, or Chrome) is a pain when compared to the power you get from Firebug. Microsoft script editor is imho just as good as firebug

Kekekela posted:I haven't used any of the IE tools since IE Dev Toolbar or whatever for IE7, which I thought was really buggy compared to Firebug. Is there something better out there for IE now? yes the microsoft script editor, although "now" isn't really appropriate since it's been around since like 2004 or something http://www.jonathanboutelle.com/mt/archives/2006/01/howto_debug_jav.html

gandlethorpe posted:I'm having trouble with "window.open" and bookmarklets. I have a script that generates a text array that maps out the layout of a form page. I want to be able to save this as txt to export to Excel. So far, it looks like my best option is to output the array onto a blank new page and save it from there. However, when I use "window.open", I'm unable to write anything into the new window (I get an "Error on page" message). you'll have to pass the text back to the server which can turn it into an xlsx or csv or whatever. the server stores it, then tells you where it's stored as the return to the ajax call. now redirect the page there. either that or write a plugin i guess

we've switched to angular at work and although I've managed to avoid having anything to do with it i am finding it really hard to believe that the building of webpages needs to be this complex. or at least it sure seems complex for something that should be pretty straightforward.

Uziel posted:What's the "best" javascript/html IDE right now? I have an upcoming Javascript/HTML5 class starting in a few weeks so I'm looking around. I'm a Visual Studio person and I think Jetbrains is awesome but I see that they have WebStorm for $29 under academic. Is this the best option or is there something out there free that will suit my needs? the jetbrains javascript editor is hands-down the best i've found.
