RetroSPV - Free SMS

[Guest xanadu]

Seems to be working ok now.. Strange.

[Guest ajb3000]

I'm trying to personalise the page and have made some changes, but being a relative newb to raw html editing, could someone briefly explane what the following does:

function textCounter(field,cntfield,maxlimit) {

if (field.value.length > maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!

field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);

// otherwise, update 'characters left' counter

else

cntfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;

}

// End -->

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01

var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}

if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i

for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i

if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;

}

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0

var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;

for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args);

if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {

if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');

if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.n';

} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);

if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.n';

if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');

min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);

if (num

} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.n'; }

} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:n'+errors);

document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');

Thanx

That's all javascript, which i can't write, so i can't help

Sorry :/

[Guest Firaas]

That's java script.

The first "paragraph" sorts out the number of characters left.

The third bit makes sure all the bits on the form are filled in when the user clicks submit.

Not a js genius, so can someone fill in the second bit?

[Guest ajb3000]

ok, so it's fine to leave all that in then. My next question is on redirecting to another page after sending a message, so far I have:

It sends correctly but tries to load the page "sent.html" on the server, how can I get it to load this page locally from the same directory the original file is placed in?

Once I have finished this I will upload here for other people to use, it's basically going to be a slightly tidier version of Pauls, that only uses the GPRS for sending the actual message, hence extremely cheap SMS!!

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Cheeky bugger!

P

[Guest ajb3000]

lol, no offence intended, I just want it to include my number be default in the 'from' field, and have all the boxes line up neatly etc, plus have everything stored locally so I can create an item in the menu for sending sms via gprs.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

What do you mean by "on the server" and "locally", surely you want all the pages server-side...

[Guest Firaas]

What do you mean by "on the server" and "locally", surely you want all the pages server-side...

To reduce GPRS you'd want as many pages as possible locally, except for the page which actually executes the sending of SMS.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Missed the two posts previous to mine ;p

[Guest ajb3000]

yea, 'on the server' is basically the remote page where the sms is sent to, after it's sent I want it to link to another page stored 'locally' on the phone itself.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Yeah i see now sorry, those two posts previous ot mine were posted while i wrote mine, and i don't always view my own posts.

All i can suggest is putting the full file location, so something like "file://IPSMApplication dataSMS htmlsent.html" (or where ever its stored) perhaps?

[Guest Firaas]

Yeah i see now sorry, those two posts previous ot mine were posted while i wrote mine, and i don't always view my own posts.

It's ok. I'll let you off, humble servant. Now polish my shoes :)

Yep the file:// path should work.

file://IPSM is the format of it.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Which is exactly what i just said ;p

[Guest Firaas]

Sorry, just confirming it - took me a whole three minutes to copy that html over and find the path IE references to.

Haven't got much more exciting stuff to do when the update is hours away.

Although, the Orange Academy Film Awards are on BBC1 now...

[Guest ajb3000]

still seems to come up with page cannot be found, the messages are sending correctly.

[Guest ajb3000]

sorry, a couple more questions, does anyone know how to set it so that you cannot write more than 160 characters in the text box, or even better display some sort of counter when typing? (counter from original doesn't work on SPV)

someone really needs to write a proper program to do this.

[Guest ajb3000]

got the character limit sorted, my only problem now is loading a second html page locally after submitting the message to retrospv. it always comes up with page cannot be found (looking for it on the retrospv server).

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

The full file location ~isnt~ working?

You haven't closed that tag.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Isn't closed off....

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Grr

[Guest Firaas]

Beatcha :)

[Guest ajb3000]

Thanx, I've closed the tag but it still doesn't seem to work. Try creating the files on your SPV and see if you can get it working.

EDIT: Linking to a website works fine, but it just won't let me link to a local file.
