Is it possible to set up RichHtmlField control to allow javascript in HTML?
I mean I need to insert some script into field content, but the code is removed from source after submit.
I don't think there is a way of inserting javascript into the RichHtmlField. Usually in this situation, the following options are available:
a) If you're just trying to get a piece of javascript anywhere on the page, you could insert a Content Editor Web Part. It allows you to insert javascript.
b) If you're stuck because you promised RichHtmlField javascript insertion to your client (or other common scenarios), you could purchase Telerik RadEditor.
It should get around the issue.
Hope this helps.

I am volunteering on a website-based project that is trying to make all pages fully operable JavaScript free before adding any JavaScript for enhancements, and I was asked to investigate whether or not a particular scenario could be handled purely through HTML/CSS.
What we have is a form that is populated to help us filter a list of tickets that are displayed on the screen after a page update through a GET action, which itself works fine, but the concern with the current implementation is that the URL cannot be made into a permanent link. The request, however, to keep the permanent link as minimal as possible, is to only send GET parameters for fields that are populated with something (so, suppressing GET parameters for fields that are blank) instead of having a different GET parameter for each form field on the page.
I have thought of several ways that could be done, most including JavaScript (example: create fields with ids but no names and a hidden field w/ name that uses JS to grab the data from the fields), but also one that would be a POST action with a redirect back to the GET with a human readable string that could be permanently used. The lead dev, however would prefer not to go through the POST/redirect method if at all possible.
That being said, I'm trying to make sure I cover all my bases and ask experts their thoughts on this before I strongly push for the POST/redirect solution: Is there a way using only HTML & CSS to directly suppress GET parameters of a form for fields that are blank without using a POST/redirect?
No, suppressing fields from being submitted in an HTML form with method of "GET" is not possible without using JavaScript, or instead submitting the form with a POST method and using a server side function to minimize the form.
What fields are submitted are defined by the HTML specification and HTML and CSS alone cannot modify this behavior and still have the browser be compliant with the standards.
No, you cannot programmatically suppress any default browser behavior without using some kind of client scripting language, like JavaScript.
As a side note, you say "JavaScript for enhancements", but JavaScript is not used for enhancements these days. And no one in the real world would except a decent front-end without the use of JavaScript. I would suggest you simply use JavaScript.
I do not think you can avoid Javascript here to pre process before submission to eliminate unchanged /empty form fields.
I would like to be able to show some values on the page but hide them in the page source. Im pretty sure this is not possible, but i figured i would ask.
Edit
I am writing my own verification system to prevent hackers/spammers. Im using encryption when passing the data, but the original value can be currently viewed in the page source ( thus someone can write a loop on the source and pull the data ).
Officially as per your tags not including javascript: No...
However, it's possible to write to the DOM after load but probably not going to achieve what you want in the end.
You can do something like this:
<div id="something">
</div>
Then on page load use javascript in your footer to inject the value of that div:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("something").innerHTML = "This is a previously hidden value";
</script>
This will write it to the dom after load and not write it to the page source. The real question is what are you actually trying to do? If you want to totally hide something then this is pretty much just an inconvenience. Anyone wanting to drill it out will be able to track this down.
If you update your question with your real intentions then maybe we can offer a better solution.
EDIT
As per your edit that you want a validation system that does not display the original values.
One option is to store the values in a database and only pass the reference id of the row to the form, assuming that's what you mean. You can do all your processing on the server side and minimize the amount of sensitive data passed to the client side.
The immediate answer is no, this is not possible -- because the browser must receive anything it intends to display.
With that said, depending on your intentions there are ways to display content to the page but hide it in the source.
One common place where this is an issue is with emails that you wish to hide from spambots, but need to display to your user -- if this (or something similar) is the case, I present a couple of solutions:
Use HTML character entities to obscure words: See here.
Use Javascript to dynamically generate it
Use HTML encoding: Here is a nice tool.
Use a plugin such as SilverLight with DRM: See Here.
Serve an image (note, some spambots know how to use OCR)
Use something like reCaptcha mailhide
At the end of the day, the user will almost definitely be able to copy whatever it is you are trying to hide - but if you are only trying to defend against spambots or automated tools, one of these options might work for you.
The way to do this is to have a <div id='fillme'> (or some other container) on your page, and then use AJAX to populate it with information after the page loads. That way, when someone clicks on "View Source" they'll see the contents of the html (or php or whatever) file that was loaded, rather than the end result after the javascript runs. jQuery has wonderful AJAX functionality, and you'll end up with code like this:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/server/side/script.php',
dataType: 'json',
data: { thing: value, thing2: value },
async: false,
success: function(data) {
$('#fillme').html(data);
},
error: function() {
alert('oops');
}
});
Since the page source is all the data a browser needs to generate everything on the page, it isn't possible no.
Ofcourse you could show images instead of values, isn't directly readable from the source code. Or use a html5 canvas or something.
Unfortunately, the short answer to this question is, you can't. There have been various methods put forth, but all of these are easily circumvented. In the end, the only sure fire way to make sure no one can steal your source code is to never put it on the Internet at all.
I'm trying to add localization support to a Google Chrome Web App and, while it is easy to define strings for manifest and CSS files, it is somewhat more difficult for HTML pages.
In the manifest and in CSS files I can simply define localization strings like so:
__MSG_name__
but this doesn't work with HTML pages.
I can make a JavaScript function to fire onload that does the job like so:
document.title = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");
document.querySelector("span.name").innerHTML = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");
but this seems awfully ineffecient. Furthermore, I would like to be able to specify the page metadata; application-name and description, pulling the values from the localization files. What would be the best way of doing all this?
Thanks for your help.
Please refer to this documentation:
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/i18n.html
If you want to add localized content within HTML, you would need to do it via JavaScript as you mentioned before. That is the only way you can do it.
chrome.i18n.getMessage("name")
It isn't inefficient to do that, you can place your JavaScript at the end of the document (right before the end body tag) and it will fill up the text with respect to the locale.
Dunno if i understand exactly what you are trying to do but you could dynamically retrieve the LANG attribute (using .getAttribute("lang") or .lang) of the targeted tag and serve accordingly the proper values.
I need to copy values from a form displayed in one HTML page (incoming.html) to another HTML page (outgoing.html) in a browser. What will be the best approach to this, I have tried using imacros but have not been able to figure it out. I believe there can be a javascript solution to the above. What can be the best approach, I need the feature in a prototype and hence efficiency does not matter.
The best option would be to use a server scripting language. You can pass values between two HTML pages in 2 ways.
First, storing them in cookies using Javascript. If cookies are not enabled, then it would be a problem.
Second, Passing Values through the URL like PHP, but this method is not very secure if your using information that you do not want the user to view.
For eg:
a href='something.htm?Something=Passing some variables'
You can fetch them in the next page using Javascript and display them.
I want to create an html page which contains a text box. When I am given input and the Enter key is pressed, I want it to go to another html page and display the typed keyword.
How can I do this?
I think you need to use a server-side scripting language to facilitate the manipulation of the inputted data on the form, so that it gets "saved" and displayed in the other html page. I suggest you try reading about PHP, and then turn to handling information in Web Forms...just a thought!
You can use Javascript for that. Check this Tutorial : How do I pass variables between two pages? (GET method)
