Open windows save dialog from javascript

[jonas.t...@gmail.com]

I've done a simple menusystem, but i can't get windows save dialog to open i have to use an input field. The open works perfect without any input field.

Any suggestions.

Your

I find it so strange that you guys are like clockwork knowning the infinities of code development, but have so hard to understand a simple question, but since i am not the only one raising it i better show an example.

How about this Evertjan an exchange, you help me with trivialities of javascript semantics. And i implement a general purpose pointer structure, in a string to save as a file. Now probably the real code geeks already probably know howto do this in an optimal way. But since my approaches tend to be very generalise although a bit naive approach. I will automatically compress any string content you put into it without need for an algorithm because the tree itself is compressed.

It could be used to store chess games it is a searchable database in a file, that loads as a string. You could even make it "appear" smart by weighing the outcome at each step.

I think there is benefits for both parties, you help me with trivialities that i find fucking annoying to waste my time on, and i may"be" show you a new approach simulating pointers in a string that you save that you never come over before?

It will be general purpose so you can search put in new items, once you specified separator ok?

It could probably be done more effectively using an array, but that is for you pro's.

The nice thing with it is that it could be used to study board games and winning strategies.

[Evertjan.]

Please try to explain what you ment by your sentence, as I asked earlier:

"but i can't get windows save dialog to open i have to use an input field"

================

Then perhaps you could tell me what this means:

"How about this Evertjan an exchange,"

Are you trying to exchange me for someone else? Like yourself perhaps?

================

"help me with trivialities of javascript semantics"

If your Qs are so trivial to you, why do you post them, anyway?

================

"I will automatically compress any string content you put into it without
need for an algorithm because the tree itself is compressed."

Why would you need to do that compressing yourself?

Couldn't you write programme-code to do that for you?

And how can you yourself [or a programme you write] compress something
without a compression algoritm, whether or not a tree is compressed?

What is a compressed tree anyway? Wood-pulp?

And why this urge to compress string-content,
[I see no difference between een string and its content, btw]
is it an exsistential urge?

=================

I know you are font of endless monologues on this NG,
which most of us just skip,
but why not wait for answers from others than yourself,
this NG not being your personal blog but a discussion-group.
and answer clarifying questions,
even when you feel that is just a courtesy?

[jonas.t...@gmail.com]

No i tell you that you will have something to gain doing the thing you are doing the best being trivial.

However trivial a task may be it can still be time consuming, picking nuts for example.

No that would be the tree structure holding any content, like your ramblings.

Well that is because i am smart the tree creating algorithm is the compression. So when the data read into the tree it is already compressed. That is how smart i am.

You know perfectly well what a data tree structure is.

Well that you have problem with concepts that may or may not be trivial is not my problem, urge i do not know... sometimes i just feel like doing a little script. I like puzzels, especially if i make them myself.

I would think i know you people at this NG very good with the semantics of programming language albeit a bit picky and anal about it. My question is a no brainer with a yes or no answer. And i know that probably all of you know the answer to it, but you are just acting in contempt over my pitiful projects.

The strange thing is you can produce text that add up to nothing but can't produce a single yes or no.

Well, Your concept of what you tell me being logical is flawed.

You said you would compress that "automatically",
probably meaning "without thinking"?

I am honoured you like them.

But why should a tree-structure contain ramblings?

Okay, so my answer is: "yes or no!".

You would first have to clarify your question.

Well, I don't condone in your self-pity, without contempt.

So you are just interested in any textual answer, without meaning?

Okay, so my [second] answer is: "yes or no!".

Anyone NOT trivial "like Evertjan", "but awesome" who do know howto open windows save dialog box using AJAX?

What nonsense, just ask your damn question.

btw, you came up with the "triviality" of "semantics".

> "but awesome"

So "awesome" semanics?

> who do know howto open
> windows save dialog box using AJAX?

You cannot,
as AJAX is a javascript-protocol for connecting to another computer,
not a Javascript-DOM interface for opening dialog-boxes.

You could open a dialog-box as a result of a received ajax-string:

if (ajaxResultString == 'Please do!') windows.alert('hi, Jonas');

btw,
what is a "windows save dialog box" exactly?
Why would you want to save windows?
Windows 10, perhaps?

[jonas.t...@gmail.com]

Yes i use windows 10, and windows 10 have save dialog boxes "just like every other GUI OS i know off.

But it also have open dialog boxes, so how does it come that i am able to use windows 10 "open dialog box" but not windows 10 "save dialog box"?

Maybe i should ask do the OS GUI open dialog work also for those using Mac OS and Linux OS?

No that is the fact the most trivial thing can be very time consuming to find out, and it is awesome when someone deliver timeconsuming "information" i do not think it is knowledge. Because knowledge requires originality and i do not think semantics qualify for that.

But now you got me into discuss noneissues, and that is just tiresome.

Still don't know what you, Jonas, mean by a "windows save dialog box"

Do you perhaps mean
a "file upload dialog box" or perhaps
a "file download dialog box"
and then specifically non-Mac?

I don't think it is so "trivial" to explain your Q clearly on request.

That's a web-page url, not a picture,
and it is no answer on what a "windows save dialog box" might be.

Well, Tim, it might be worth mentioning his apparent preoccupation
with saving-Windows-10 boxing.

There is no such thing. You can only employ browser functionality from
Javascript that runs inside a browser as part of a web page. Some
browser functionality may (or may not) open standard OS specific dialog
boxes.

The most common way of getting a browser to save something to a file
(possibly through some sort of "save as" dialog) is have it load a URL
that returns the proper HTTP headers that instruct it to save the
downloaded resource to a file.

This was already explained to you earlier. Stop asking incomplete and
ambiguous questions using rather poor English, then ignoring peoples
responses and instead keep responding to yourself endlessly. Most of all
you should stop offending people who try to help you.

Adopt normal newsgroup behavior or go away. If you are as really smart
as you think you don't need us.

You are broken records, i already know howto load and save files, i asked if you know a way to open the fucking save as filedialog you lowIQ inbreed.

But then my question is how come it is possible to reach the open file dialog? Is that seen as a less dangerous system call?

I just find alot of things convoluted not so say inconsistent, maybe it is because webscripting is a mix of different engines interpreating and interacting Javascript, CSS, HTML?

Maybe you should gone with something like smalltalk to begin with and it could handled it all????????

Well it does not seem possible to make a standard windows save load but at least i change to set the filename that is opened and read in to the save field. And a newfile entry with a default name in menu.

That's it, now i will make some algorithms.
