I am new to this and I followed official tutorial.
I made a folder in my desktop named as Chrome and put all files manifest.json, popup.html, icon.png there along with a file guestbook.pl. Now the content of manifest.json is same as given in above link but I changed the code of popup.html according to my need which is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Guestbook</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/home/chankey/Desktop/Chrome/guestbook.pl" method="get">
<table>
<tr><td>Name</td><td><input name="name" type="text" value=""></td></tr>
<tr><td>E-Mail</td><td><input name="email" type="text" value=""></td></tr>
<tr><td>Location</td><td><input name="loc" type="text" value=""></td></tr>
<tr><td>Comments</td><td>
<TEXTAREA name="comments" rows="10" cols="32"></TEXTAREA></td></tr>
</table><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Add Entry">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Then I added the extension on my Google Chrome. Extension added successfully and when I click on it a form appears (from popup.html) but when I click on "Add Entry" button to submit the data the script (guestbook.pl) doesn't run. A new page appears which says
This web page has not been found, No web page was found for the web address: chrome-extension://plkeijfkmjeakkbdclipkoadchbpgpdm/home/chankey/Desktop/Chrome/guestbook.pl?name=&email=&loc=&comments=
Why is this happening? The script is in the same directory then why isn't chrome finding it?
guestbook.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $query_string = "";
#Get the input
if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST') {
read(STDIN, $query_string, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH});
} else {
$query_string = $ENV{QUERY_STRING};
}
##### We will remove this
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "Query String is \n<br> $query_string";
print "hi";
##### We will remove this
You can't run Perl in Chrome. Chrome extensions are small web pages and can only use client-side web technologies. Therefore, the language you use is JavaScript.
To create a guestbook style extension you'd have to run your guestbook.pl script on a web server and then use AJAX calls from JavaScript in the extension to save and get the data.

I want to send Form data to the same page using classic ASP.
Code:
<%#LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
'Classic ASP:
Dim test
test = request.form("CtrlTest")
response.write "result = '" & test & "'<br>"
%>
<!-- alternative: <Form name="test" method="POST" target="_self" > -->
<Form name="test" method="POST" action="" >
<a href>ClickThis</a>
<input type="hidden" name="CtrlTest" value="ATest" />
</Form>
</body>
</html>
After clicking I had expected the result to be:
"result='ATest'
ClickThis"
But it is:
"result=' '
ClickThis"
How can I read the posted data?
Tested in localhost mode:
Chrome OK,
IE11: Error 403.14.
This makes me wonder how the POSTing happens:
The POST data is sent to a server that passes the data on to the target Receiving ASP or PHP page.
When the Receiving page opens first time after the transmission the data is available for request.
If the Receiving page is the same as the Sending page (e.g. target =”_self”) the data is immediately available in the page (if it is an ASP or PHP page).
The next time the Receiving page opens the data is no longer available.
Is this correct?
And this should work OK even if I am in localhost mode, and not reaching an actual server?
If the Request lines in the Receiving page lies in a file that is #included into the Receiving file – will it still work?
Links do not submit forms. They just go to the URL in the href attribute.
To submit a form, use a submit button.
<button>Submit</button>
I'm working on a PowerShell solution to scrape some pages in SharePoint (2013) Site Settings and I'm stuck on how to reference a ModalDialog that pops up during the scrape. Any suggestions how to do this?
I'm looking to pull the data from the input boxes and then click "Cancel" to return to the previous page.
The link that calls the modal is:
<td class='ms-authoringcontrols'>
<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' class='ms-authoringcontrols'>
<a id="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_editBB1" onclick="OpenBestBet('https:\u002f\u002www.example.com\u002fsites\u002fusa\u002fproductqualitysupport\u002fPages\u002fdefault.aspx'); return false;" href="#BestBet">Edit</a>
</table>
</td>
The JS function that opens the modaldialog is:
function OpenBestBet(bestBetUrl)
{
// make up the url to send to the BestBet page
bestBetUrl = bestBetUrl?escapeProperly(bestBetUrl):bestBetUrl;
var addedBestBets = document.forms[0].elements['ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_bestBet'].value ;
var keyword = escapeProperly(document.forms[0].elements['ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_keyword'].value);
var gotoUrl =
addQueryParametersToUrl('BestBet.aspx',['u','k','a'],[bestBetUrl,keyword,addedBestBets]);
var dialogOptions = {width:500, height:450};
SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.ui.dialog.js', 'SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog', function() { SP.UI.ModalDialog.commonModalDialogOpen(gotoUrl,dialogOptions,AddBestBetCallback,[addedBestBets]); });
}
This is what it looks like on the page:
And the body tag of the modaldialog starts with:
<body>
<form method="post" action="BestBet.aspx?u=https%3a%2f%2fwww.example.com%2fsites%2fusa%2fproductsupport%2fPages%2fdefault.aspx&k=PQSS&IsDlg=1" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" id="BestBet">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__REQUESTDIGEST" id="__REQUESTDIGEST" value="0xOBFUSCATED,29 Aug 2014 20:57:46 -0000" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" id="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/OBFUSCATED=" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

I'm using PowerShell 3.0, Net.WebClient, application.internetexplorer object, and also have HtmlAgilityPack but I'm not able to figure out how to reference the modaldialog. Any help would get great! Thanks
Ultimately, I was able to open and close the Modal window in Selenium but didn't take the time to figure out how to scrape values from it using Selenium.
Using PowerShell I wasn't able to access any part of the Modal, but when checking the source code of the Modal window I noticed the full URL in the header and was able to construct the URL from information on the parent page. This allowed me to launch another IE instance in PS, open the URL not in Modal mode, scrape the content, and close the window.
The URL construction was a little tricky with Unicode encoding and URI Data encoding, but I got it worked out. I hope others find this helpful.
I'm maintaining a website which has a series of forms that user submits. Each form does an HTTP POST to the server, which then renders the next form to the browser.
i.e., index.html contains a <form action="form1.php" method="post">, and then form1.php renders a <form action="form2.php" method="post">, etc.
When I navigate using the back button from say, form2.php to form1.php on my iPhone, the request is an HTTP GET for form1.php, rather than a resubmit using HTTP POST.
This happens intermittently, but more reliably if I minimize safari and then re-open it again before I hit the 'back' button.
Note: This happens whether I'm using chrome or safari on my iPhone.
My expectation was that these requests would be resubmitted using POST. Is that wrong?
I have a small repro set up here:

Repro Steps:
Load http://kong.idlemonkeys.net/~shaun/fi/ in safari or chrome on iOS
Click the 'click me' button, which submits a POST to form1.php
Click the 'submit' button, which submits a POST to form2.php
Minimize safari (i.e., go to the home screen), then bring it back up.
Hit the 'back' button, notice that form1.php now informs you it was fetched via HTTP GET
I've been able to confirm the sequence of events using wireshark
My expectation was that these requests would be resubmitted using POST. Is that wrong?
I believe it is wrong. POST requests may not be idempotent, i.e. issuing the same post multiple times may change the state of the server each time, and that can be dangerous. The browser has no way of knowing whether you really intend to resubmit the form that got you to the current page, for example, so it can't assume that it's safe to send the POST again. Instead, it uses a GET because a GET won't affect the state of the server.
This very StackOverflow page is a fine example. After I click the 'save' button at the bottom, my browser will no doubt issue a POST to send my answer to the server, and then show me the resulting web page that includes my new answer. If I hit the back button, should my browser again issue the POST? That could result in a whole new copy of my answer being added, which doesn't seem like the right thing to do at all. Using a GET, on the other hand, will safely reload the previous page without resending my answer.
It is probably a good idea to always send HTTP 302 redirect after POST то avoid this sort of inconsistent browser behavior http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get
I'm using Magento CE 1.7.
I created a CMS page to add 'Terms Of Use' to it and at the bottom of the page I added a simple "Accept Terms" submit form to have the customers agree to the terms before they can access the page I want them to access. Here's the code.
<form action="url-to-go-to.html" method="GET" onsubmit="return checkCheckBox(this)">
I accept: <input type="checkbox" value="0" name="agree">
<input type="submit" value="Continue">
<input type="button" value="Exit" onclick="document.location.href='BACKTOWHAT.html';">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkCheckBox(f){
if (f.agree.checked == false )
{
alert("Please tick the box to continue");
return false;
} else
return true;
}
-->
</script>
The only problem I have is that in I can only get it to work by entering the URL to the page I want them to be redirected to. i.e.
<form action="domainname.com/shop.html"> <!-- store section to go to -->
/* and the same goes for */
onclick="document.location.href='domainname.com';"> <!-- back to storefront -->
I wanted to use something else rather than the URL but I'm not sure how to do it. I thought using something like this would work.
<form action="<?php echo $this->_redirect('shop.html'); ?>" method=.... >
but it didn't.
I believe if this has been within a .phtml file it would've worked but I'm working with a simple CMS page and I know magento functions work in CMS pages but I don't know a function that would work for this purpose.
Ok, I figured it out after testing a bit more. (I'm still learning how to code)
It's quite simple, the form action should be like this instead.
<form action="{{store direct_url='shop.html'}}" method=..... >
and to redirect back to the store front on "exit" this is what worked.
onclick="document.location.href='{{store direct_url=' '}}
This worked perfectly. hope it helps others.
I am using jQuery 1.6.4 with jQuery Mobile 1.0.1. I am running into an issue anytime you link to a page that then tries to do a 301 redirect.
I've setup a sample page at: http://www.widgetsandburritos.com/jquery-mobile-test/
The only thing on this page is the jQuery Mobile includes and a link to another page that has a 301 redirect somewhere else.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
301 test
</body>
</html>
301test.php has the following content:
<?php
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: 301success.html" );
?>
This should just simply pass the browser to 301success.html. It works if you directly go to that URL
http://www.widgetsandburritos.com/jquery-mobile-test/301test.php
But when you click on the link from the page using jQuery Mobile, it shows "undefined" instead. Is jQuery Mobile currently incapable of handling redirects?
Any possible work arounds?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT [3/23/12 12:41AM CST]
I also posted this problem on the jQuery Mobile forums. Somebody there recommended adding rel="external" to the anchor tag. This technically works if all you are doing is making a link, but won't fix the issue if you get to the redirect via some other mechanism, such as a POST request.
To illustrate, I've setup a secondary test at http://www.widgetsandburritos.com/jquery-mobile-test/test2.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="301test.php">
<input type="submit" value="test" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Instead of arriving at the 301test.php redirect page from a link, it's now the location of a form we're submitting to. The context this would be used, would be such that if you submit a form with errors, it would stay on the same page allowing you to correct the errors. If there were no errors, it redirects you to a success page. This is done to avoid submitting the form again if a user refreshes their browser. It works brilliantly in normal web applications. But in combo with jQuery Mobile it doesn't seem to work.
Just thought I'd give some additional context to anyone else following this issue.
Figured out the answer to my own problem. In the above, I mentioned that this was causing problems using the <form> tag. After browsing through the jQuery Mobile documentation I found this page: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/forms/forms-sample.html
The trick here is if you're doing a form, to force it to not use AJAX. You do this by adding
data-ajax="false" to the FORM tag.
So this changes
<form method="post" action="301test.php">
to
<form method="post" action="301test.php" data-ajax="false">
And just to reiterate what was said above. If you need to do something with an anchor link, just add rel="external" to it.
So this changes
301 test
to
301 test
The issue is deeper. Take a look here or here.
It seems that XMLHttpRequest object (the one used for doing AJAX requests) handles redirects on its own and returns the final response. Which means that jQuery Mobile can't know that it should update the URL.
The solution is to use the data-url attribute on the final page. It forces jQuery Mobile to update the URL in the browser. Kind of a workaround but far from being a hack.
By the way there are more issues with jQuery Mobile, AJAX and redirects - for instance if you click the browser's back button after an AJAX-redirect, jQuery Mobile (up till 1.1) might produce a final page under the URL of the redirecting page. Therefore using data-ajax="false" is a wise choice.
EDIT:
But even data-ajax="false" is not a bullet-proof solution. Using it splits your mobile app into multiple browser pages, which brings all sorts of browser differences to the party. For instance Firefox has so called bf cache whereas Chrome doesn't. This is an unholy mess and I'm starting to think that something like Sencha Touch is much better suited for developing pages that pretend to be mobile apps.
EDIT 2:
Alternatively, one could avoid regular form submissions and use own AJAX code for that and then switch pages based on the result, but I cannot resist thinking that it's 2012 and such things should automated and work flawlessly without sweating.
I'm currently building an application but even though I am logged in, I stay on the login page, and I do not get redirected. I used the data-ajax="false"
this is the code of the form:
<section id="login">
<h2>Want to take a ride? <span>Login</span></h2>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" data-ajax="false">
<?php if(!empty($feedback_error)): ?>
<div id="feedback_error">
<p><h1><?php echo $feedback_error ?></h1></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<input id="username" type="text" name="username" placeholder="username" />
<input id="password" type="password" name="password" placeholder="password" />
<p>Not yet signed up? <a href="register.php" >Register</a></p>
<input type="submit" name="btnLogin" data-theme="b" value="Sign in">
</form>
</section>
