The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

There is a Google-hosted library here: http://code.google.com/p/json-xml-rpc/.
ReplyDeleteIt supports both XML-RPC and JSON-RPC for JavaScript, and asynchronous as well as synchronous requests. I'm about to try out the XML-RPC for JavaScript myself with a JQuery UI and will update this based on my findings.
I have tried http://www.zentus.com/js/xmlrpc.js.html myself. It has problems parsing the result in FireFox and Chrome, parsing the result in IE worked fine.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the others, but 'mimic' looks great (if it works).
For my own problem, I've switched to JSON instead of XMLRPC.
The protocol is rather easy, are you sure you need a library at all? Maybe just send the XML the protocol requires?
ReplyDeleteAdding a library to the list. I found this one quite easy to use, although I haven't tried all of the others that are mentioned.
