how to position elements? - html

How to make this following image and paragraph tag come next to each other (image and p tag in left and right respectively) like inline block elements.
I used the span tag bec its inline but i still couldnt figure it out

The response object is an object that contains all the methods for manipulating the outgoing response and for queuing up data that will be part of that response (when it is finally sent). The specific method you asked about:
res.setHeader(name, value)
is one such method for preparing the outgoing response and is documented here. It allows you to configure a header on that response. It will store that header inside the res object and then when the response is finally sent out over the network, this header item will be streamed as part of the outgoing http headers.
The Express library adds a different variation of this method with:
res.set(field, value)
or
res.header(field, value)
These are both identical in the code.
Internally, both of these just add a little bit of extra processing before eventually calling the underlying res.setHeader() from the regular http library. You can use any one of them. The Express version allows you to call res.set(obj) where obj is a set of key/value pairs that are turned into headers.
You can see the code for Express' res.set() here and see how it eventually calls the underlying res.setHeader().
res.set =
res.header = function header(field, val) {
if (arguments.length === 2) {
var value = Array.isArray(val)
? val.map(String)
: String(val);
// add charset to content-type
if (field.toLowerCase() === 'content-type') {
if (Array.isArray(value)) {
throw new TypeError('Content-Type cannot be set to an Array');
}
if (!charsetRegExp.test(value)) {
var charset = mime.charsets.lookup(value.split(';')[0]);
if (charset) value += '; charset=' + charset.toLowerCase();
}
}
this.setHeader(field, value);
} else {
for (var key in field) {
this.set(key, field[key]);
}
}
return this;
};

Can i load data referenced by a Web Component dynamically, with caching?

I'm currently learning Web Components and I wonder if it is possible to have a Component load its own data dynamically, similar to how <img> does from its src attribute, i.e. something like this:
<my-fancy-thingy src='/stuff.json'></my-fancy-thingy>
Obviously this functionality would be useful if stuff.json could be rather large, so it should also be possible to make use of the browser's caching mechanism so the referenced file doesn't get reloaded every time we request the page, unless changed.
Can this be done?
Sure, take inspiration from <load-file> See Dev.to Post
/*
defining the <load-file> Web Component,
yes! the documenation is longer than the code
License: https://unlicense.org/
*/
customElements.define("load-file", class extends HTMLElement {
// declare default connectedCallback as sync so await can be used
async connectedCallback(
// attach a shadowRoot if none exists (prevents displaying error when moving Nodes)
// declare as parameter to save 4 Bytes: 'let '
shadowRoot = this.shadowRoot || this.attachShadow({mode:"open"})
) {
// load SVG file from src="" async, parse to text, add to shadowRoot.innerHTML
shadowRoot.innerHTML = await (await fetch(this.getAttribute("src"))).text()
// append optional <tag [shadowRoot]> Elements from inside <load-svg> after parsed <svg>
shadowRoot.append(...this.querySelectorAll("[shadowRoot]"))
// if "replaceWith" attribute
// then replace <load-svg> with loaded content <load-svg>
// childNodes instead of children to include #textNodes also
this.hasAttribute("replaceWith") && this.replaceWith(...shadowRoot.childNodes)
}
})
Change .text() to .json() and it parses JSON files
Caching can be done by storing the String in localStorage (but a 5MB limit total, I think):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_storage
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage
You need to come up with "data has changed" strategy; as the Client has no clue when data actually was changed. Maybe an extra semaphore file/endpoint that provides info if the (large) JSON file was changed.
This works like a charm
export class MonElement extends HTMLElement {
constructor(){
super();
this.attachShadow({mode:'open'});
(...)
this.shadowRoot.appendChild(atemplate);
}
connectedCallback(){...}
static get observedAttributes(){
return ['src'];
}
attributeChangedCallback(nameattr,oldval,newval)
{
if (nameattr==='src') {
this[nameattr]=newval;
here do the fetch for the src value which is newval then update what you got in the innerdom
}
(...)

Why is the "Add Note" button giving an exception and printing null on the console?

I am trying to add a note using Add Note Button but it is throwing an exception. I handled the error using try...catch block but the note written in Add Note Button is not added and printing null on console.
JSBin for my project:
This piece:
if(notes =='')
{
notesObj = [];
}
else{
notesObj = JSON.parse(notes);
}
is the problem. If there's nothing in the local storage, notes will be null, which means notesObj == '' will be false, and the code will break. You need to change the test so it detects null (and other falsy values) as such:
if(!notes)
{
notesObj = [];
}
else{
notesObj = JSON.parse(notes);
}
There's another problem. This line:
localStorage.setItem('notes', JSON.stringify(notes));
makes no sense. You're setting the item notes in the local storage as the converted json of the notes variable, which is already a JSON string, so it'll fail horribly. What you really want to do is stringify the notesObj variable, which is the array with the actual notes. Change that line to:
localStorage.setItem('notes', JSON.stringify(notesObj));
And that's it. Make those changes and your code will work.

Special JSON binding in WinJS ListView

I have problems binding this JSON to my list view.
http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=marketdatav2
No data is displayed.
Data.js
(function () {
"use strict";
var _list;
WinJS.xhr({ url: 'http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=marketdatav2' }).then(
function (response) {
var json = JSON.parse(response.responseText);
_list = new WinJS.Binding.List(json.return.markets);
},
function (error) {
//handle error
}
);
var publicMembers =
{
itemList: _list
};
WinJS.Namespace.define("DataExample", publicMembers);
})();
HTML:
<section aria-label="Main content" role="main">
<div id="listItemTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template">
<div class="listItem">
<div class="listItemTemplate-Detail">
<h4 data-win-bind="innerText: label"></h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="listView" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView" data-win-options="{itemDataSource : DataExample.itemList, itemTemplate: select('#listItemTemplate'), layout: {type: WinJS.UI.GridLayout}}"></div>
</section>
I feel that the API is not that well formed.
Isnt this part a bit odd?
"markets":{"ADT/XPM":{...}...}
There are three things going on in your code here.
First, a ListView must be bound to a WinJS.Binding.List's dataSource property, not the List directly. So in your HTML you can use itemDataSource: DataExample.itemList.dataSource, or you can make your DataExample.itemList dereference the dataSource at that level.
Second, you're also running into the issue that the declarative binding of itemDataSource in data-win-options is happening well before DataExample.itemList is even populated. At the point that the ListView gets instantiated, _list and therefore itemList will be undefined. This causes a problem with trying to dereference .dataSource.
The way around this is to make sure that DataExample.itemList is initialized with at least an empty instance of WinJS.Binding.List on startup. So putting this and the first bit together, we have this:
var _list = new WinJS.Binding.List();
var publicMembers =
{
itemList: _list.dataSource
};
With this, you can later replace _list with a different List instance, and the ListView will refresh itself.
This brings us to the third issue, populating the List with your HTTP response data. The WinJS.Binding.List takes an array in its constructor, not an object. You're passing the parsed JSON object straight from the HTTP request, which won't work.
Now if you have a WinJS.Binding.List instance already in _list as before, then you can just walk the object and add items directly to the List as follows:
var jm = json.return.markets;
for (var i in jm) {
_list.push(jm[i]);
}
Alternately, you could populate a separate array and then create a new List from that. In this case, however, you'll need to assign that new List.dataSource to the ListView in code:
var jm = json.return.markets;
var markets = [];
for (var i in jm) {
markets.push(jm[i]);
}
_list = new WinJS.Binding.List(markets);
var listview = document.getElementById("listView").winControl;
listview.itemDataSource = _list.dataSource;
Both ways will work (I tested them). Although the first solution is simpler and shorter, you'll need to make sure to clear out the List if you make another HTTP request and repopulate from that. With the second solution you just create a new List with each request and hand that to the ListView, which might work better depending on your particular needs.
Note also that in the second solution you can remove the itemDataSource option from the HTML altogether, and also eliminate the DataExample namespace and its variables because you'll assign the data source in code each time. Then you can also keep _list entirely local to the HTTP request.
Hope that helps. If you want to know more about ListView intricacies, see Chapter 7 of my free ebook from MSPress, Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Second Edition.

HTML parsing individual tables/not all data being parsed?

I'm rather new when it comes to Windows Phone 8 development and I've been toying around with a few things as part of the application I'm developing.
Right now I'm trying to parse information from a website such as the RuneScape 07 High Scores - http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1=zezima
I'm using HTML Agility Pack and I'm able to parse some data (down to Woodcutting), but anything passed that doesn't appear? (Is that down to the size of my ListBox?)
Ideally, I'd like to be able to parse the table information individually rather than in one block like so:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
HtmlWeb.LoadAsync("http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1=zezima", DownLoadCompleted);
}
void DownLoadCompleted(object sender, HtmlDocumentLoadCompleted e)
{
if(e.Error == null)
{
HtmlDocument doc = e.Document;
if (doc != null)
{
var result = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[#id='contentHiscores']");
foreach (var htmlNode in result)
{
lBox.Items.Add(htmlNode.InnerText);
}
}
}
But if I try and access an individual table such as this one using
var result = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[#id='contentHiscores']/table/tbody/tr[5]/td[2]");
I get a NullReferenceException.
Is this possible or am I doing something exceptionally wrong?
You probably relied on a developper tools such as FireBug or Chrome, etc... to determine the XPATH for the nodes you're after.
You can' really do this as the XPATH given by such tools correspond to the in memory HTML DOM while the Html Agility Pack only knows about the raw HTML sent back by the server.
What you need to do is look at what's sent back (or just do a view source). You'll see there is no TBODY element for example. So you want to find anything discriminant, and use XPATH axes for example.
Here is a code that seems to work:
// get all TD nodes with ALIGN attribute set to left
foreach (var node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[#id='contentHiscores']//td[#align='left']"))
{
var item = lBox.Items.Add(node.InnerText.Trim());
// use an 'XPATH axe': get all sibling TD nodes with ALIGN attribute set to 'right'
foreach (var sibling in node.SelectNodes("following-sibling::td[#align='right']"))
{
item.SubItems.Add(sibling.InnerText.Trim());
}
}

JSON results into a variable and store in hidden input field

I wrote code below that is working perfectly for displaying the results of my sales tax calculation into a span tag. But, I am not understanding how to change the "total" value into a variable that I can work with.
<script type="text/javascript">
function doStateTax(){
var grandtotalX = $('#GRANDtotalprice').val();
var statetaxX = $('#ddl').val();
$.post('statetax.php',
{statetaxX:statetaxX, grandtotalX:grandtotalX},
function(data) {
data = $.parseJSON(data);
$('.products-placeholder').html(data.products);
$('.statetax-placeholder').html(data.statetax);
$('.total-placeholder').html(data.total);
// ...
});
return false;
};
</script>
Currently, $('.total-placeholder').html(data.total); is successfully placing the total number into here:
<span class="total-placeholder"></span>
but how would I make the (data.total) part become a variable? With help figuring this out, I can pass that variable into a hidden input field as a "value" and successfully give a proper total to Authorize.net
I tried this and id didn't work (see the testtotal part to see what I'm trying to accomplish)..
function(data) {
data = $.parseJSON(data);
$('.products-placeholder').html(data.products);
$('.statetax-placeholder').html(data.statetax);
$('.total-placeholder').html(data.total);
$testtotal = (data.total);
// ...
If you are using a hidden field inside a form, you could do:
//inside $.post -> success handler.
$('.total-placeholder').html(data.total);
$('input[name=yourHiddenFieldName]', yourForm).val(data.total);
This will now be submitted along with the usual submit. Or if you want to access the data elsewhere:
var dataValue = $('input[name=yourHiddenFieldName]', yourForm).val();
The "data" object you are calling can be used anywhere within the scope after you have a success call. Like this:
$.post('statetax.php',
{statetaxX:statetaxX, grandtotalX:grandtotalX},
function(data) {
data = $.parseJSON(data);
var total = data.total;
var tax = data.total * 0.19;
});
return false;
};
Whenever you get an object back always try to see with an alert() or console.log() what it is.
alert(data); // This would return <object> or <undefined> or <a_value> etc.
After that try to delve deeper (when not "undefined").
alert(data.total); // <a_value>?
If you want 'testotal' to be recognized outside the function scope, you need to define it outside the function, and then you can use it somewhere else:
var $testtotal;
function(data) {
data = $.parseJSON(data);
$('.products-placeholder').html(data.products);
$('.statetax-placeholder').html(data.statetax);
$('.total-placeholder').html(data.total);
$testtotal = (data.total);
EDIT:
The comments are becoming too long so i'll try and explain here:
variables defined in javascript cannot be accessed by PHP and vice versa, the only way PHP would know about your javascript variable is if you pass it that variable in an HTTP request (regular or ajax).
So if you want to pass the $testtotal variable to php you need to make an ajax request(or plain old HTTP request) and send the variable to the php script and then use $_GET/$_POST to retrieve it.
Hope that answers your question, if not then please edit your question so it'll be clearer.
