I have developed a NPAPI plugin(npruntime) for windows browsers like firefox, safari, Google chrome.
My question is how one can read the values specified in the tag of the element in a plugin.
Is there any way to access these values in a plugin.? I searched a lot for this and unfortunately didn't get any help.
We can read the tag attributes likes "type", "width" etc in NPP_New function.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Sanjay
You get the tags in the NPP_New function as well; they're all in the same place. Are you familiar with FireBreath? It abstracts all of this for you and works on IE as well.
You can find the code that FireBreath uses to pull the params out here: https://github.com/firebreath/FireBreath/blob/master/src/NpapiCore/NpapiPlugin.cpp#L76
(that function is called from NPP_New)

Long time automation developer here (just for context).
It's been bugging me for quite a while that the dev tools in chrome used to find elements just don't seem to work as I expect. Hopefully someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.
Looking at , say, sauce labs page: https://saucelabs.com/blog/selenium-tips-finding-elements-by-their-inner-text-using-contains-a-css-pseudo-class
ok now that page has div's and anchors
and indeed I can do find ('a') or find('div')
but why do I have a problem using classes or id's ?
The find() method refers to window.find(), a non-standard API for the browser's built-in Find function. It does not find web elements the same way Selenium or Capybara do, and so it does not parse the input as a selector.
You find elements with selectors in Chrome DevTools using document.querySelector() or document.querySelectorAll(). There are no special methods in Chrome DevTools for this, however it does provide the $() and $$() aliases (respectively) to save you time and keystrokes.
You can use jquery code in chrome console, for example if you want to find something with class of "foo" you can write $('.foo') or a id of "bar" you write $('#bar')
You can read all about it here
Also you can just google what you want "Jquery how to find a div with id"
I'm embedding a YouTube video on my site with the parameter modestbranding=1. Unfortunately, I also want to use the parameter showinfo=0. When I tried this, it seems like the modestbranding doesn't work any more.
I've done research and found that modestbranding only works when it's the first parameter in the set, which I'm making sure to do.
I've also read that I can fake it by using the undocumented title parameter (see http://www.reelseo.com/remove-youtube-logo/), but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any suggestions?
The two parameters are mutually exclusive--sorry. We'll get https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#modestbranding updated to reflect that.
I would like to do validate elements WITHOUT using any validation plugin. To start with, I defined:
<input type='number' required="required" id='amt_elmt' name='amt_elmt' />
But I can still type any text in this control (I expected only number can be typed inside it); it accepts blank value also.
What additional code might be required?
as others have mentioned Forms 2.0 or the new HTML5 input types are not supported by all browsers (see this link).
I recently answered another question dealing with the HTML 5 form elements. None of my desktop browsers (FF, Chrome, IE) or my mobile browsers (FF, Android default browser) attempted to validate that I was using numbers, or restricted it to numbers.
Your best bet is a javascript client side validations like jquery.validate or any other number of libraries to accomplish validation.
Edit: The link is to Microsoft's validation library that comes with Visual Studio but you can download it from there website and it works quite well. I can post code on how to use it if you need it
Edit2: Codez http://jsfiddle.net/qxsS8/
Number is an HTML5 input type. This is not yet correctly supported by all browsers, in most browsers you will be able to input anything.
If you want to block anything but numbers while users are typing you are going to need JavaScript on key presses.
If you want to validate after posting if only numbers are used you can use either JavaScript or PHP for this.
Add Javascript event handlers for the events you want to handle (i.e. onkydown, onkeyup, ...). In those functions you can access the value of the input and remove the chars you don't want.
You could use standard HTML5 form validation. Then to support older browsers use this Library:
https://github.com/ericelliott/h5Validate
This will use JavaScript to add support.
All you need to add into your page is the following code:
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.h5validate.js"></script> // You will need to host this somewhere
<script>
$(function () {
$('form').h5Validate();
});
</script>
It works across:
Desktop: IE 9, 8, 7, 6, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Tested on Windows 7 and Mac.
Mobile: iPhone, Android, Palm WebOS
Finally I found out that using javascript (and maybe jquery) is very flexible.
(No dependency, no third-party error, which is hard to solve for the programmer, who does not know plugin's logic).

This link proved to be very useful.
This may be helpful to others, hence posting as a separate answer to my own question.
Hello kind people of the internet,
I've been hacking at this for a while...and have seen several similar postings, but I can't seem to figure this out:
The HTML5 input field validation CSS works in Firefox, Chrome...but alas, not in IE8...and much of my target audience will be using IE8.
...and yes: I'm using Modernizr, and I used Initializr to get the page template and CSS...I'm a bit confused why I can't get things working properly in IE8.
Here's a link to my test page:
Test html5 page
The input field is red before proper entry, then validation simply turns green when input a valid account number, such as:
50011111111
The HTML5 code is as follows:
<label for="account">Account Number: </label>
<input id="account" name="inputAccount"
placeholder="input billing account number"
pattern="/(^500)|^\d{11}"
required
autofocus
type="text"/>
Any suggestions on what is probably a fairly simple thing to fix would be mucho appreciated!
IE just ignors HTML5 elements because it dosen't know about them. From the Modernizr docs
Modernizr runs through a little loop in JavaScript to enable the
various elements from HTML5 (as well as abbr) for styling in Internet
Explorer. Note that this does not mean it suddenly makes IE support
the Audio or Video element, it just means that you can use section
instead of div and style them in CSS.
What this says is that Modernizr will tell IE about the new tags in HTML5 so that you can use CSS on them, but dosen't actually make them do anything. Note too that Modernizr dosen't add default styles for the elements, so they recommend you use an HTML5 CSS reset that makes <section> tags display: block; for example.
With respect to your form validation topek was correct in explaining that Modernizr only detects browser capability, it dosen't actually do anything about it. The proccess behind Modernizr is that you use the built-in yepnope testing feature to see if the user's browser can do 'x' (in this case form validation) and then conditionally and asynchronously load a script or style to "polyfill" (a polite way of saying 'use javascript to mimic native behaviour) for it.
In your case, you will want to use Modernizr.load() to test for Modernizr.input.required and probably Modernizr.input.autofocus too, like this:
//the modernizr conditional load function
Modernizr.load({
//specify the tests, refer to the Modernizr docs for object names
test: Modernizr.input.required && Modernizr.input.placeholder,
//specify what to do if the browser fails the test, can be a function
nope: 'path/to/polyfill/script',
//sometimes you need to run some JS to init that script
complete: function(){ polyfillinitorwhatever(); }
});
And there you go, a pretty stripped-down Modernizr.load. While I find their docs meandering, they actually are very good. Every time I've had a problem and tweeted at Paul Irish, he's sent back a link to the docs where I actually did find my answer upon closer inspection.
Validation is one of the most complex HTML5 features for the browser makers to implement as a standard. While I really like it's simplicity, I've been continuing to use jQuery.validate in all cases except if the user has Chrome or Opera - the FF native validate is weak still. I'd recommend you stick with jQuery for now.
I recently found a new plugin jquery.h5form.
Using this, form validation, like in Opera, will be enabled in all browsers, even IE8.
I think, what you are still missing, is a html5 polyfill for the field validation. You could use for example: http://ericleads.com/h5validate/
More polyfills can be found under: https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills
IE8 does not support all, if any, HTML5 elements. You need to have an addon for html5 to work. One addon is modernizer
List of browsers with their score/compatibility in HTML5
It is relatively straight forward to iterate through IHTMLStyleSheetsCollection, IHTMLStyleSheet, IHTMLStyleSheetRulesCollection etc. of IHTMLDocument2 to obtain list of all styles in current document.
Any ideas on how to get a list of only used styles in the document? And to be more precise, I am looking for how to find out which images from the css files are being used in the document.
There is a program that says it is able to do this (determine which css images are being used) if IE8/IE9 is installed.
Thanks
Ok I have found an answer to this:
Recent browser versions (FF 3.5, IE 8) have implemented a querySelector method that can be used to query if a selector is used on a page.
see: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Document.querySelector for more info.
