| 03:55 | osmoze | hi #koha |
| 09:21 | kados | morning owen |
| 09:21 | owen | Hi |
| 09:21 | dewey | salut, owen |
| 09:58 | thd | kados: are you still there? |
| 10:27 | owen: are you there? | |
| 10:35 | kados: are you back from breakfast? | |
| 10:40 | owen | thd: is there something I can help with? |
| 10:40 | thd | owen: yes |
| 10:41 | owen: would the standby attribute of an object element work for Perl code? | |
| 10:42 | owen | I don't even know what you're talking about :) |
| 10:42 | thd | I want <object classid="myscript.pl" standby="Please Wait While Searching ..."><br />Object failed to load.</object> without having the object fail every time. |
| 10:43 | owen: the record editor displays a wait while loading message but that uses JavaScript. | |
| 10:44 | owen: I wanted a language independent method of doing something similar. | |
| 10:44 | owen | Can you tell me more about what you're trying to do? |
| 10:46 | thd | owen: I have a search of remote targets and want to display a message while the targets are being searched and results are being parsed so the user does not have the impression that nothing is happening |
| 10:47 | owen | And you don't want to use Javascript? |
| 10:48 | thd | owen: I always want alternatives to JavaScript but everything must at least work with no message if the user has no JavaScript |
| 10:49 | owen | So the user is clicking a button, and you want a wait message to appear while the user waits for the next page to load? |
| 10:49 | thd | owen: so if you have a JavaScript solution which will all a non-JavaScript client to function I would be pleased to know |
| 10:49 | exactly | |
| 10:52 | owen: if I use onSubmit for the form will the results page still load when the client does not have JavaScript? | |
| 10:54 | owen | Yes. You can have the onsubmit call the function to both submit the form and display a waiting message. <input type="submit" onsubmit="myFunction(); return false;"> |
| 10:54 | The 'return false' will prevent the form from submitting on its own, leaving it to the javascript to do the submit (this is used in form validation, for instance). | |
| 10:55 | But if the form has a valid action and method, those with javascript turned off will just submit the form. | |
| 10:57 | thd | owen: would adding onLoad to the body element kill the waiting message? How does the waiting message know to go away when the page created by Perl is loaded? |
