Klugdy CF Prevents Javascript From Executing?

[Michael Hill]

I have this cf script below where the javascript in it works perfectly i.e.
a new window opens when I press 'click me' when I call it up using the url
in the browser.

But when I "POST" to it from another script the javascript window does not
open when I click "click me".

Is cf writing something kludgy to the browser when I post to it causing the
javascript not to execute??

Any help is appreciated.
Mike

In attempt to narrow down the problem I tried the same thing using PERL.

Sadly I get the same result.

That is:

When the cgi script executes standalone the javascript works.

When the cgi script is 'POSTED' to from the same CF script the
javascript does not work.

If you really want to narrow it down, forget all the server-side stuff.
The only thing that matters for client-side script is what the client
sees.

When it works, do a view source on the client doc.
When it doesn't, do a view source on the client doc.

See a difference?

Neither my NN7 nor my IE6 know how to handle this file type. I get a

What should I use to test this?

First you have to have coldfusion installed and you need the adobe
plugin that you can get here:

Do you have to use POST for the form?

For some reason I have yet to determine, the script works fine both ways
if you submit the form with GET.

I'll see if I can figure out why. It has nothing to do with the actual
syntax of your javascript, as the script is written exactly the same,
the events are fired, and the functions are called no matter what the
method used.

Interestingly enough, if I fully qualify the open as window.open, I get
a security error of permission denied - but only after form submission
(get or post, either one). Click on the link and it works.

So this has something to do with the way things are handled with form
submissions. I'll poke around.

Okay, I've narrowed it down even more. It's the SVG, because when I
submit the form using POST to a normal CFM page, it works just fine.

I submitted the form to this .cfm page and everything was cool.

<CFSETTING ENABLECFOUTPUTO NLY="YES">

<head>
<title> New Document </title>
<script language="JavaS cript" type="text/javascript">

var detailwin = open( myurl, "detail",
"toolbar=no,scr ollbars=yes,wid th=600,height=
500,dependent=n o,resizable=yes ,top=50,left=50 ");
alert("detail") ;
detailwin.focus ();
}

</script>

</head>

<body>
<a href="javascrip t:goDetail()">C lick me</a>
</body>
</html>
</cfoutput>
<CFSETTING ENABLECFOUTPUTO NLY="No">

So, I'm sorry, I'm lost after this. I don't know jack about SVG.

If you can submit your form with GET, it works with the SVG. Otherwise,
you'll have to do more research. I'm at the end of my knowledge base
here.

Good luck.

Crap-o-la ... I am glad somebody sees what I am seeing ... Praise the
Lord.

I appreciate the time you spent on this. I'd like to use get, but there
is just too much information to try to pack in the url.

So, you think it is a SVG thing? I guess I'll contact adobe then.

Well, since it worked without it and didn't work with it and only didn't
work when the form was POSTed, I'd say so, yeah. I'd be of the opinion
that it is a bug, personally.

Looking around at

http://www.svg.org/wiki/index.php/AdobeSVGViewerWindow

I see two things that jump out at me.
There is no open method. Which hints to me that the open method is NOT
part of Adobe's SVG internal javascript engine.
Now I see a browserEval method...

HEY!!
Check this out.

It WORKED for me using that method instead!

As a side effect it put the url that I want to execute in the url of the
main window. So you have to hit the back button twice to get to the
original screen you came from.

Do you see where I am coming from?
