Pretend you have a button on an iOS GUI. Pressing this button should now trigger a button on a webpage (which triggers an action). While doing this, the webpage should not be visible. How can I do that?
My guess is, that I read and parse the webpage, and if I've found the button action, I would trigger it somehow. Since I'm not a web programmer, I wonder how to proceed or read on for such a task.
I need this task, because there is no JSON or XML webservice on the page that would make life easier.
Many thanks for any input
Okay, let's say you've already loaded your webpage in an off-screen (or hidden) UIWebView, and the submit button on that webpage looked a bit like the following in code:
<form id="my_submit_button" etc... >
Just call the following:
NSString* javascript = #"document.forms['my_submit_button'].submit();";
[myUIWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: javascript];
Hope this helps!

I'm trying to put TinyMCE on my website. I figured out how to get it to show up, but I'm lost on how to process the content. In their example, they just have a link that references the top of the page and clicking on it somehow magically causes their dump.php script to execute. I don't understand what's going on here. Here is the link:
http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/basic.php
The "Submit" button at the bottom is really a link in a span element with href="#". The form action is dump.php. I want to know how they configured this to run without an actual submit button. Any help in understanding this is greatly appreciated!
To Get Content From Tinymce You Can Use GetContent Method of Currently ActiveEditor Instance
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
method is used to getting Content .. to Set The Content
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent("I Want Text To Be in Tinymce");
to find a perticular element in tinymce get body and find element
var body = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getBody();
$(body).find("#elem_id")
to get a full html
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getDoc().documentElement.innerHTML
hope that helps ..
Since I use PHP, I found this which is also useful:

I'm using the Facebook Like/Send buttons along with dynamically generated HTML (loaded via AJAX requests). I've found that even though the Send button works fine when the element exists on page load, dynamically created Send buttons aren't working correctly. Clicking the button activates it and the button greys out, but the popup doesn't appear.
Here is a demonstration of what is happening: http://jsfiddle.net/Daniel15/VxpSj/
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Yes, I can confirm the problem from your fiddle.
function addLikeButton()
{
// […]
FB.XFBML.parse(newEl);
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(newEl);
}
For some reason, this seems to be “the wrong way around”. Reverse the order of these two lines – put the new element into the DOM first and let FB.XFBML.parse parse it afterwards, then (from my test with your fiddle) it seems to work in the desired way.
I am writing a perl script using WWW::Selenium module to automate a website.
I am not at all a web development guy and have no idea about web technologies.
Let me try to explain the issue in layman terms.
I am dealing with a webpage, which has an order form with a button.
When I click the button, there is no page submit, but the button label changes.
Say for eg, the button goes through these changes when clicked multiple times.
Get Quote --> Order --> Confirm Order
Each time I click the button, there is no page refresh, but the button label keeps changing as above.
The id of the button is the same throughout, only the class changes.
How can I do this in WWW::Selenium?
Presently I am using wait_for_page_to_load(5000) after each click.
But the click is not having any effect on the label and I get error that timed out after 5000s.
Should I be using some other function to wait?
You could do something like this
$sel->wait_for_text_present_ok("Your text","time to wait","The message to display if this fails");
and an example below-
$sel->wait_for_text_present_ok("Order Confirmed","9000","The order was successfully placed");
Seems like you could use
$class = $sel->get_attribute($attribute_locator)
where the $attribute_locator is the button#class with button being the element locator that you clicked. Check if $class is the class you expect.
I have a page with some generated HTML that survives the form's reset button. It is a problem because that HTML is inconsistent with the values in the cached default form.
In principle I guess it could be solved easily if I could force a hard reload from the server when the user presses the reset. However I see that the Chrome browser does not support the onReset event (in fact it is deprecated in HTML5).
But perhaps I could work around the missing onReload event. Can I re-define what happens when the reset button is pressed? In my case the apply and reset buttons are located in general HTML templates which I cannot change. Can I attach a function to the button from JavaScript?
You can replace the "reset" button , by a regular button.
And use the "onClick" event, to trigger a page reload.
EDIT
oops I missed the template part,
You can add a function to a button from Javascript.
First you need to "get" the button, with something like document.getElementbyId('resetButton');
If the button doesn't have a ID, you still can to retrieve it by doing javascript dom traversal
then you can add a function like :
var resetButton = document.getElementbyId('resetButton');
resetButton.onclick= reloadPage;
function reloadPage(){
window.location.reload();
}
I am building a web page and I have included Facebook's Like button. Works great in all browsers but not in Firefox. When clicked in Firefox, it creates an endless loop of opening and closing a facebook login window. This is a known issue that Facebook isn't looking like it will correct anytime soon.
Can anyone tell me what code I might write to hide the like button (or a div containing the like button) from Firefox only? I've never written code to detect a browser and then have my site function a certain way. Not a javascript guru here. Thanks!
You can do this using the navigator javascript object, but it sounds like you have deeper problems if the facebook like button is causing an endless loop of window loads. You most probably have other errors in your code. The button should work fine in firefox.
Here's how to text for firefox using the navigator object,
if (/Firefox[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)){
// user using firefox
}
This code parses the userAgent string, the string that defines the user's browser, of the navigator object. It looks for a string of the format Firefox/x.x or Firefox x.x.
This should work for you
<div id="likeDiv">
my div
</div>
<script>
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1)
{
// Remove the element from the dom
var Node1 = document.getElementById('likeDiv');
Node1.removeChild(Node1.childNodes[0]);
}
</script>
Hope this helps
