I m trying to access JavaScript function from Servlet code. But I'm getting the error shown below.
Here is the code:
out.println("<FRAME src=\"javascript:parent.newWindow('" + URL+ "') \" scrolling=No noresize />");
And this is the error that occurs in JavaScript:
Object does not support this property or method;
You can't access a Javascript function from your servlet code. Javascript executes on the client (= your user's browser) and the servlet code executes on your server (for example Tomcat, JBoss, whatever you're using).
What are you trying to accomplish with your code? I'm sure there's a simpler way to do it than what you just described.
[edited]
I see you just updated your description, so here's my view:
I'm guessing that you want to display a page to the user and when the page is displayed, you want to open a new window which will display another page using the URL parameter to point its address. If this is the case, you should probably just do this in the first page's onLoad() Javascript event using window.open().
There is no newWindow property on a window object (which is what parent references), so this is not unexpected.
Maybe you are looking for the open method instead?
If so, then:
Putting it as the src of an iframe is a very strange thing to do
It will probably be zapped by pop-up blockers
Ok. You try to generate javascript code inside Servlet code. When you do, your code goes to Web browser and it's seen there as a html document with javascript inside. So, your error rather comes from web browser and links to javascript error. Probably it's newWindow method. To open new window you should call window.open() function, I guess.

I'm using struts2 framework(java/js/html/css combo) for my webapp. I am reading a text file from server and I want to write the response to an iFrame present in the same jsp.
Flow:
(1) On click of a link, I pass the relative URL of the text file to jsp.
(2) When the jsp page loads, the java code in the jsp reads the file from server.
(3) Now this response has to be written to an iFrame present in the same jsp file
Can anyone plz help me in writing such response to an iFrame?
Thanks in advance :)
[code not tested, only a demostration of the concept]
here's some very rough idea as to how to fix your code, they definitly not the best but they should be enough to help you understand the concept.
However I'd still recommend going over the whole concept and maybe come up with a more efficent way to do what you need.
if you insist on using iframe, you need to make use of 2 seperate jsp as W3C says in "Implementing HTML Frames":
Any frame that attempts to assign as its SRC a URL used by any of its ancestors is treated as if it has no SRC URL at all (basically a blank frame).
so you'll need 2 jsp, the first one is basically what you have but the the src of the iframe changed to:
<iframe scrolling="yes" width="80%" height="200" src="second.jsp?content=<%=all%>" name="imgbox" id="imgbox">
and the second one will be something like :
<html><body><%= request.getAttribute("content") %></body></html>
From the code you've shown you forced a "content update" on the iframe by using javascript. The proper/usual way to update an iframe is to provide different input parameter to the second jsp and let it update it for you.
Finally, I'd recommend using JSTL as much as possible instead of scriptlets. It is much cleaner.
What you need to do is set the src attribute of the IFRAME to the jsp url when your link is clicked. Another way to do it is doing something like this:
<iframe src="" name="iframe_a"></iframe>
<p>W3Schools.com</p>
with the correct parameters of course
I have a WebView with an iframe inside. The contents of the iframe do a redirect to another URL that doesn't allow embedding in an iframe. Not a problem, actually, I just want to start the external browser activity in this case instead. The problem is that I can't find a way to intercept the redirection. None of shouldOverrideUrlLoading(), onPageStarted() or onLoadResource() get called for the redirect, hence I get no chance to start the activity.
In the html change the iframe tag to call some javascript function when a redirect happens
example: iFrame src change event detection?
For anyone else with this problem, we found an even more simple solution to this than calling a javascript function. Simply add "target= _top" to the iframe redirect (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp). Then shouldOverrideUrlLoading() will be called in the Android code.
There is an application that stores photos in oracle db (oracle multimedia format). There is a JAVA servlet page that handle the connection and the SQLs ..., and there are JSP pages to show the images in browser.
There is a delete function in the JAVA page, when i click one thumbnail it navigates to the an other JSP and show the full size image. Here i would like to call the
public void deleteRowById( String selectId ) function which is in the JAVA servlet page. i would like to use a button, and i'm not realy know what is the proper way to call this function.
Any suggestions are welcome.
In the mean time i solved the situation. There is a java class that contains SQL statements -taht's what i would like to call with a form button.
1st JSP page show the button like delete, it navigates to an other JSP page via passing a parameter with post method, in this 2nd JSP page i call the main java class method that execute a delete statement then from the 2nd JSP page i navigate back with <jsp:forward page="1st_page.jsp"/>
Maybe not a cutting edge solution but works like charm :)
I have developed a theme in liferay 6.1. I have a page named "localhost:8080/home" but now i want that on clicking this link of the page, it should be redirected to localhost:8080
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in Advance.
I think you are confused a little bit, so just some things you should know:
You can't (normally and without hacks) have a page named "localhost:8080". Every Page (or 'Layout' in Liferay) has a short name, that takes it's part of the url. This is often called "friendly url" but it's often confused with the "friendly url feature", which is a way to shorten your url request data.
So you're always going to have urls like 'localhost:8080/something'. The same holds for the 'home' page
You can partially shorten the Url by using 'virtual host'. It removes the part of the url before your page's name (like removing the web/guest or user/username ) suffix
You can use the 'friendly url' feature to shorten the part of the url that goes after the page's name, and contains request information like lifecycle state info or custom request parameters
I was going through some java code(which uses playframework) that provides some shopping cart functionality.The html page contains some javascript (it uses jquery) which is something I have very little knowledge of.Looking through the html,I found a table like this
<table>
...
<td>
buy
</td>
...
</table>
(The template uses ${} to get dynamic values thru playframework template language)
In the entire code ,the only addItem(itemId) method I could find was in the ShoppingCart class which has this signature
public void addItem(Item item) {
...
}
When I searched for onclick ,I found this page
onclick doc,which gives the syntax of onclick as
onclick="SomeJavaScriptCode"
Going thru all the javascript code(it uses jquery and ejohn-templating)I couldn't find any method like 'addItem'
So,how does the onclick work?How would it know which method to invoke?Will it look in the entire code (javascript and java)to find a matching method?
somewhere you have an addItem method in your javascript code. The code in the html is executing that method, not the addItem method you found in the java code.
First is it would only look for javascript methods and not java methods. Second is you can use debugging in firebug to reach to the method called.
It is relatively simple.
It looks like your Java code is executed on the server side, and the JavaScript (including jQuery) is executed on the client side. So the ${item.id} is executed on the server, and onClick executes whatever javascript code you provide for it on the client side.
I do not know playframework, but the addItem should be javascript, and public void addItem(Item item) is java code. Both are not related
This addItem javascript function is somewhere. If you are unable to find it in your code base, you can use the console of your browser (or firebug on Firefox) to see this javascript function. Go to the Script tab and search for addItem.
Javascript can't access server side functions unless is via AJAX or something like it. Even then, it doesn't have direct access to the funcions, but to a page that access that.
Look more carefully for that function in your Javascript using firebug, or the google chrome console. It should be there.
