embed inside perl cgi not working

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

The following call is not working inside a perl cgi code

<!-- page specific scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
jQuery( function()
    {
        jQuery('date-picker').datePicker().val(new Date().asString()).trigger('change');
    }
);
</script>

Any suggestion? Thanks.

Peter

I don't know much about perl but it doesn't seem like your problem is related 
to the date picker. Some questions after a quick look:

 * Are all of the javascript files in the correct place relative to your script? Do you see any 404 errors in the Firebug network panel when you load the page?
 * Why do you set the header to image/svg+xml? Surely it should be text/html?
 * You aren't outputting a DOCTYPE so your page will render in unreliable quirks mode.

With the snippet you have pasted above there are two ways you could achieve 
this which would be easier:

 1) Echo the date into the input's "value" attribute directly from perl - the date picker will take the value from the input when you initialise it.
 2) Something like this:

jQuery('date-picker').datePicker().dpSetSelectedDate((new Date()).asString());

Hope it helps,

Kelvin :)

Hi Kelvin,

Thanks for the kind email reply. You are right. The reason this failed is 
because of image/svg+xml as when I changed it to text/html, it worked!

However, the reason for using image/svg+xml is because I embed several SVG 
files inside my website plus some MySQL and other stuff. Therefore, the header 
has to be 'image/svg+xml'.

Therefore, I am not sure why it doesn't work for 'image/svg+xml'. Could your 
team take a look at this? Thank you very much!

Best,

Peter

But you aren't serving up an image. You are serving up an HTML page which 
happens to contain some SVG data... The content type should still be text/html

You could try referencing the svg namespace in your HTML tag if you are putting 
the SVG inline:

<html xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

Although I don't think that will work cross browser - I think you'll need to 
load the SVG as seperate documents (using embed or iframe or maybe even image 
tags) - those documents should have the image/svg+xml namespace...

Either way, it's not really related to the date picker...

Hi Kelvin,

Thanks for the kind email.

The code I sent to you is simplified. The original code is more than 5000 
lines. I think as long as it illustrates the core problem, there is no need to 
add un-relative part in.

Still, it might come up again in other cases especially cross browsers...

Thanks.

Peter

Hi there,

This is to follow up with my question regarding date picker module.

When I use firefox 4.0, the date picker is fine.

However, when I moved to IE9, I could only see the calendar icon, and when I 
click it, nothing happens as if there is no event fired.

I use the following: 
<!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript" 
src="javascript/jquery.bgiframe.min.js"></script><![endif]-->
in my script.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Kind,

Peter

Hi there,

I don't know how when I removed the line
<!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript" 
src="javascript/jquery.bgiframe.min.js"></script><![endif]-->

The date picker is fine. But why?

Thanks.

Peter
