The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Controlling a form in a child window when the child windows page is on another site

Asked by JagC in JavaScript

Tags: , , ,

Hi all

Quick overview:
I have a page (parent.asp) that spawns a child window containing child.asp. Child.asp is a page with a form containing nothing but a button (button2) and a text field.
When button 2 is pressed it sticks some text in the text field.
When button 1 is pressed some javascript is called to click button 2 on the child window (child.asp).

This all works perfectly. You probably know where I'm going next.....

When I move child.asp to a different site (and of course update parent.asp with the new url) I recieve a javascript "Access is Denied error".

This, to be honest, is not suprising. It allows you to remotely manipulate other peoples forms and thus perhaps breaching security. Although a decent site would have server side validation anyway....

Sorry, I digress :)

Basically, I need something like this to work. Either javascript or other. Here's what I need:

The ability of a web page to upload a file to another site.
The 'true' upload form needs to be hidden from the user.
We have have full admin access to all servers hosting the sites.  All windows based running 2k or 2k3 server. All pages are written in asp. ASPUpload is used to do the actual uploading.

This is the score.
We have an online product allowing clients to create content. Some of this content is flash. Some of the flash has an 'upload' feature. The flash happily talks to the javascript on the page. But the files to be uploaded will not be uploaded to the same server as the site. We already have it working on the same site but the files MUST be uploaded to a content server. Flash is used to control the upload bit cos we can control how long the 'browse and upload' feature is displayed before time is up.

It would be a simple solution to just give the user access to the popup to click browse and submit, but this can't happen. Flash must be able to control it as flash can control the time.

Any work arounds with javascript? I'd like to use this method as we already have it working ok locally.
Any alternatives? Bear in mind we got full admin access to all servers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
cheers
