client-side

We're using OpenX to serve ads on a number of sites. If the OpenX server has problems, however, it blocks page loads on these sites. I'd rather have the sites fail gracefully, i.e. load the pages without the ads and fill them in when they become available. We're using OpenX's single page call , and we're giving divs explicit size in CSS so they can be laid out without their contents, but still loading the script blocks page load. Are there other best practices for speeding up pages with OpenX? OpenX has some documentation on how to make their tags load asynchronously: http://docs.openx.com/ad

Closed . This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers. Learn more . Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post . I need to create a web site which will be converted to a mobile application (What I want to build is more suited to be a web site than an application so the building itself should be as a website). Since I'm more familiar with the desktop and Android native dev world, I got very little knowledge of web client side development. After reading a little I've decided to use these technologies

I need to generate many internal client-side (within the company only) graphs from streams of data, and since the data itself is "secret", I can't use a service like Google-Graphs for generating the graphs. So I was wondering if anyone has some recomendations for a javascript graph library that doesn't require a server. Thanks Have a look at flot a javascript plotting library. EDIT The official flot repo lives on github Have a look at Raphael ( github ). The data is likely going to be in plain text if you use a javascript library to render it client side... Even so, jQuery Sparklines can

I'm looking for a way to do a traceroute client-side, i.e. in a browser. As far as I know, it's not possible to send ICMP, UDP or TCP packets with arbitrary TTL values via Javascript or Flash. I know Flash allows TCP connections via the Socket class in Actionscript but it doesn't seem useful for a traceroute implementation. Is the only solution to develop a browser plug-in ? EDIT : I just found out that it has been done with a Java applet: http://www.codefromthe70s.org/traceroute.aspx The bad news is that this applet requires to be signed code because it actually parses the output from the

I am writing a little HTML5+JS tool to generate an SVG image. I have encountered a number of issues in doing so, and while I have workarounds for most of them, in at least one case I feel like there must be a better way. And then there are a couple of things that still just aren't working. At present, this is for my own use, so cross-browser compatibility isn't a concern; as long as it works in Firefox (first preference) or Chromium, it's all good. I would like to stick it online once it's working right, though, so compatibility caveats would be appreciated. Goals All processing should be done

I am looking to get some input from other users on the benefits of server-side MVC. With the power of many javascript libraries. What good purpose does server-side MVC server anymore? You can easily use client-side MVC with templating and a REST API to make a much more resposive application with less overhead of reloading a whole page for minor changes. Server MVC benefits: Mature. Widely adopted. Most of the code is inside server so should be more secure. But definitely the tendency is to back to client/server computing but instead of fat clients written in C or another language but now you

I converted my whole site to XML/XSL and I would like to know all of the current issues with performing Client-side XSLT. Here are the ones i already know of (from first-hand experience): Cross-domain XSL files (this is a security issue and not cross browser) disable-output-escaping (this does not work in FF... they consider it a security issue) Also as for browser support this is all i know of: Opera 9+ FF 1.0+ SF 2.0 + (i may be wrong on this) Chrome IE 6.0 + Any others would be helpful too :) Edit: As for the 2nd pitfall there is a decent workaround that lets you pass xhtml to your xsl. It

I need to create client side search engine for an offline html application in offline storage like CDROM. I already create it with Win32 and the catalog file is near 2GB (MDB file). My offline web application use CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) and PhoneGAP so I can disable the browser web security. I thought the IndexedDB may help me but , I couldn't find anyway to copy the storage file to other media. My catalog file will be near 2GB, so I can't read all record to memory. I need to make the output media cross-platfrom with PhoneGAP, so I can't use activeX objects for final search. Also I

I have searched through google and SO for possible answers to this question, but can only find small bits of information scattered around the place, most of which appear to be personal opinion. I'm aware that this question could be considered subjective, but I'm not looking for personal opinion, rather facts with reasons (e.g. past experience) or even a single link to a blog/wiki which describes best practices for this (this is what I'd prefer to be honest). What I'm not looking for is how to make this work, I know how to create a self updating desktop application. I want to know about the
