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.

Parsing og Javascript in ajax response

Asked by Batalf in JavaScript

Tags: ajax, response, javascript, parse

Hi all

I have ran into a problem with Ajax which I hope you can answer.

First of all, this is my basic Ajax routine

1) I'm using the sack library (http://twilightuniverse.com/resources/code/sack/)

2) I'm making a call to the server and get the answer back and stored in a response property of the js sack object, let's call it

ajax.response;

3) Then I'm inserting this content into a element on the page like this:

document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML = ajax.response;

Now, the problem arise in IE because it won't parse javascript content in the response.

So this is my solution....which almost works:

      __evaluateJs : function(obj)
      {
            window.jsCode = new Array();
            var scriptTags = obj.getElementsByTagName('SCRIPT');
            var head = document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0];
            for(var no=0;no<scriptTags.length;no++){                  
                if (scriptTags[no].src){
                    var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
                    var scriptObj = document.createElement("script");            
                    scriptObj.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
                    scriptObj.setAttribute("src", scriptTags[no].src);             
                    head.appendChild(scriptObj);
            
                }else{                      
                        var code = scriptTags[no].innerHTML;                        
                        window.jsCode[no] = code;
                        setTimeout('eval(window.jsCode[' + no + '])',100);      // Has to wait because we want to make all objects part of the window object(global variables) instead of locale
                }            
            }      
      }

I'm sending document.getElementById('myDiv') as a input to this method. This method parses the <script> tags inside the element and runs an eval() on the innerHTML of each of them.

This executes the javascript code.

But now comes the challenge: functions and variables inside that method are registered as member of the method where the eval() is executed. They become local variables instead of globals. I have tried to solve this by implementing a setTimeout( setTimeout('eval(window.jsCode[' + no + '])',100); ) , but that only seem to work in Firefox.

I have made an example here:

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/examples/ajax.html

it includes the file

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/examples/ajax_include.html

If it works, a click on the link at the bottom should alert "20" (which it does in FF).

But IE says that "myObj is undefined".

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Thanks a lot
