serverside-javascript

I have a url containing a hash e.g http://www.acme.com/home.xsp#key=1234 When the url above loads in the browser I need to call a serverside javascript based on the value in the hash. I have found a few ways of retriving the hash client side like this var key = getHashUrlVars()["key"]; so I have the key available in my client side script in the onclientload event. So in the same onClientLoad event I now need to call my server side javascript method so I have tried the following '#{javascript:doStuff(key)}' '#{javascript:doStuff(' + key + ')}' ..and a few other ways. but I can't get it to work.

I'm attempting to convert a string from CP932 (aka Windows-31J) to utf8 in javascript. Basically I'm crawling a site that ignores the utf-8 request in the request header and returns cp932 encoded text (even though the html metatag indicates that the page is shift_jis). Anyway, I have the entire page stored in a string variable called "html". From there I'm attempting to convert it to utf8 using this code: var Iconv = require('iconv').Iconv; var conv = new Iconv('CP932', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT//IGNORE'); var myBuffer = new Buffer(html.length * 3); myBuffer.write(html, 0, 'utf8') var utf8html = (conv

Any idea how one would go about preventing XSS attacks on a node.js app? Any libs out there that handle removing javascript in hrefs, onclick attributes,etc. from POSTed data? I don't want to have to write a regex for all that :) Any suggestions? One of the answers to Sanitize/Rewrite HTML on the Client Side suggests borrowing the whitelist-based HTML sanitizer in JS from Google Caja which, as far as I can tell from a quick scroll-through, implements an HTML SAX parser without relying on the browser's DOM. Update: Also, keep in mind that the Caja sanitizer has apparently been given a full,

I have recently noticed that a lot of JavaScript files on the Web start with a ; immediately following the comment section. For example, this jQuery plugin's code starts with: /** * jQuery.ScrollTo * Copyright (c) 2007-2008 Ariel Flesler - aflesler(at)gmail(dot)com | http://flesler.blogspot.com * Dual licensed under MIT and GPL. * Date: 9/11/2008 .... skipping several lines for brevity... * * @desc Scroll on both axes, to different values * @example $('div').scrollTo( { top: 300, left:'+=200' }, { axis:'xy', offset:-20 } ); */ ;(function( $ ){ Why does the file need to start with a ; ? I see

I'm making a game, and I've come across a problem... When I try to save, JSON fails and reports that circular reference is being made somewhere. I don't think it actually is, I can't see it, so is there an algorithm or anything which could tell me where it is exactly (between which objects and stuff)? Also, is there a JSON alternative that can save circular reference? I'm running a node.js server, I saw this , but I can't get it to work (it's not made as a module i can require() in my code). If you want to serialize a circular reference so you can save it, you need to make the reference

I'm trying to find the best way to create async calls when each call depends on the prior call to have completed. At the moment I'm chaining the methods by recursively calling a defined process function as illustrated below. This is what I'm currently doing. var syncProduct = (function() { var done, log; var IN_CAT = 1, IN_TITLES = 2, IN_BINS = 3; var state = IN_CAT; var processNext = function(data) { switch(state) { case IN_CAT: SVC.sendJsonRequest(url("/api/lineplan/categories"), processNext); state = IN_TITLES; break; case IN_TITLES: log((data ? data.length : "No") + " categories retrieved!
