Or you can apparently use $RANDOM in bash.

Re: Using jQuery to rewrite relative urls to absolute urls – [revisited]

Paul Giberson — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:02:39 -0000

This should work:
$('img').not('[src^="http"],[src^="https"],[href^="data:"]').each(function() {
$(this).attr('src', function(index, value) {
if (value.substr(0,1) !== "/") {
value = window.location.pathname + value;
}
return "http://mynewurl.com" + value;
});
});

Why this doesnt work for img ? I think problem is not selector with more then one condition in filter. How to do it for img src ?

Glad you found it useful.

Thanks for this!

I used this as part of a regex function within a validation class, allowing me to pass a pattern or the name of a constant containing a pattern to validate a string.

If all you want to do is remove the href before the hash that isn't too tough, but you would need to update the selector based on the context of its use. See: http://jsfiddle.net/aknosis/c2...

You may also have to tweak the regex for replacing the href but that code works for the example you have.

Thanks for the post! I'd like to do something similar, but just take out the absolute URL from the href attribute. That is take href="/name1/name2#name3" and make it href="/#name3". Any advice?

Re: More jQuery Fun – Auto Populating a Select Box

Paul Giberson — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:13:23 -0000

Thanks.

It wouldn't be to difficult to do.

1. Setup your function that adds the options
2. Set the interval to call that function every 3 seconds

There is no real way to save the options other than a cookie, you could also look into some sort of hash magic but that becomes difficult to work cross browser (see jquery history plugin).

I also can't seemt to find an easy way to serialize the options into text for storage in a cookie, so you probably would want to append to your cookie as you add each item. You will want to use common functions to turn your Objects in JSON and vice versca, (search for toJson).

So you really want something like this:

function updateOptions(){
   //This would be your dynamic call, probably ajax request
   var newOption = new Option('name', 'value');
   var s = $('#select')[0];
   var l = s.length;
   s[l] = newOption;
   //some predefined method to get the cookie
   //and convert it back into an object
   var cookie = eval('('+getCookie('optionSvr')+')');
  //add new option
   cookie.push(newOption);
   setCookie('optionSvr',toJSON(cookie));
}
//Run every 3 seconds
setInterval('updateOptions()',3000);

Re: More jQuery Fun – Auto Populating a Select Box

Hi!
Nice website. Im trying to create a dynamically select form that adds options from different variables automatically every 3 second. This will constantly go in a loop.

Is this something i can use to do that?
Do you know if there is any way to save the options so it doesn't go blank on reload of the page?

Thank you any answer.

To sidestep my $(selector)[0].length = 0 to empty the select you can also do $(selector).empty();

Re: Zero user interaction CAPTCHA – (lamecaptcha)

Paul Giberson — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:01:21 -0000

Here is an example of what gets submit, (I log all failures of the form and a make a note if the lamecaptcha was the cause)

[24-Apr-2009 14:02:19] Lame captcha failed [ac1] != '' || [ac2] dpDlxhbCPs != ''
[24-Apr-2009 14:02:19] array(16) {
["email"]=>
string(17) "cldcwz@hhaahk.com"
["cEmail"]=>
string(17) "cldcwz@hhaahk.com"
["serviceNeeds"]=>
string(209) "h4nOVk <a href="http://pijyaseimmas.com/">pijyaseimmas</a>, [url=http://mkpzbdhititq.com/]mkpzbdhititq[/url], [link=http://vzgqzvmoddqh.com/]vzgqzvmoddqh[/link], http://hhttrqzagfzq.com/"
["ac1"]=>
string(0) ""
["ac2"]=>
string(10) "dpDlxhbCPs"
}

What is worse is those links are all bad, they don't go to anywhere.. What I suspect is happening is that the email address is real and they are testing to see if they can send emails via this form with those links, this way they know they can put real emails and start spamming with my form... Not today bitches.

As soon as I opened this I was suspicious. And after reading through it I could tell it was not legit. It's nice to have someone else confirm my thoughts...this is most definitely a SCAM!!!
