Greetings,
I am working on a website back end and I am using Bootstrap and jQuery to handle the pages layout and the user interaction. However, I need to make some read/writing at the server side (i.e., saving pictures that will be displayed on the front end and updating data within the database) my question is do I have to implement a Web API to handle such operation reading/writing to the server or there is a way for doing that through using jQuery or Javascript only?!

|
javascript runs on the client so it's not possible to use it to store files etc on the server.
|
|
|
|
|
I mean is there a way that enable javascript or jQuery to send something like a request to a specific server to store/retrieve data or I must do this through a Web API. Sorry I am new to web development

Web API is just a generic term for something on the server that listens to requests, so if there is an API that can accept your data and do something with it then you can use jQuery to send data to that API. The only problem is if it is files you are sending as javascript can't read the local file system. For that you'll need to use html file api if the browser supports it.

I am already using HTML file api to read files from local system and those file(s) are simply photo(s) which the client will choose to use it to be displayed on the front-end banners(s). Now I need to send those photo(s) I've read to the server to be stored within a specific folder there and I do not know what I have to do for that even if I have a Web API (ASP.NET Web API) that accepts data sent to it then doing the storing functionality how can I send the data to those method(s) within the Web API I mean the jQuery get, post, and getJson methods need a URL for the Web API so do I have to write the IP address of the server (which I do not know in advance) in this URL or I can use something like this ./myapi/mycontroller to call the methods within my Web API?!!!

Hi,
I would like to ask about your opinion please..
If you'll develop a PHP website and need a client-side prpgramming for it, will you choose AngularJS or JQuery?
Thanks,

As Angular and jQuery has very different purposes, you first have to define your needs...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

so based on this article[^] AngularJS is better to use when you are building a web application such as business web aplication?

I think it probably depends on the desired functionality of the application you want to build.

My partner owns a WordPress based Amazon Affiliate site and were notified that something on our pages was causing visitor’s browsers to be tagged without clicking through (i.e. cookie stuffing). We have until Monday, January 18th to fix the problem but no one seems to definitively know what is happening (we have already spoken to two programmers and had many other affiliate site owners look at our site).
We have made some changes and might have fixed the problem but part of the problem is that Amazon sent us the e-mail below suggesting that it was happening when we were importing the images from their site – only we aren’t importing images. We are hosting them all ourselves. We need to find, remove and test anything that could be causing cookie stuffing ASAP but we don't know what is doing it.
If you can help or you know someone who can help please message me. We are willing to hire someone to help us who knows how to fix the problem.
Here is their e-mail:
Thank you for sending us the information about the traffic you are sending to Amazon. As we stated previously, we have again confirmed that you are automatically tagging customer sessions without the user generating a click to Amazon.com. An example of this behavior can be found at this link:
http://www.chainsawjournal.com/best-cheap-chainsaws-gas/
It appears that when you are importing an image, you are including the entire Amazon url and loading the full detail page for the item (including your tag) in the source code instead of only including the image url.
Thank you for any help you can provide - even if it is only referring us to someone else!

Seems like they told you what the problem was.

One problem: we're not importing images. I'm assuming that was a guess on their part? And a wrong one.

I still think they are the only ones that can help you. You should contact them and ask for specifics.

Hello All,
I've got this page which I've created in html and css with a left drop down left side bar or menu. However, the article in the page is always shown on the bottom of the menu.
I would like the article text to be shown right of the menu but for some reason cannot do this. I've tried just about everything I can think of. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to position it to the right of the left hand menu.
Thanks in advance,
R.

Well, you've obviously not tried very much! 
Start by removing the width:7% from the .leftMenu ul li a rule. Then use one of the following options:
Option 1: Using float
.leftMenu
{
float: left;
width: 10em;
}
Demo[^]
Option 2: Using display: table
Add a wrapper <div> around the menu and article, with the CSS class wrapper.
.wrapper
{
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
}
.wrapper > nav,
.wrapper > article
{
display: table-cell;
}
.wrapper > nav
{
width: 10em;
}
Demo[^]

Option 3: Using display: flex
Add a wrapper <div> around the menu and article, with the CSS class wrapper.
.wrapper
{
display: flex;
}
.wrapper > nav
{
width: 10em;
}

I went through this tutorial:
WCF RESTful service and WebGrid in ASP.NET MVC 5 : WCF RESTful service and WebGrid in ASP.NET MVC 5 - Part 1[^]
and everything seemed fine. In the web service project if I browse to the customerService.svc file the web service page comes up fine. In the MVC controller I am using the same web service url string that is copied from the actual browser that did display in the service just fine:
customerServiceUri = "http://localhost:55429/CustomerService.svc"
I have a break point in the code where the customerList is assigned a value:
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<Customer> customerList = new List<Customer>();
using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
{
string dwml;
dwml = webClient.DownloadString(customerServiceUri + "GetAllCustomers");
customerList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObjectAsync<List<Customer>>(dwml).Result;
}
return View(customerList);
}
The web method definition is below:
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, UriTemplate = "GetAllCustomers")]
IEnumerable<CustomerEntity> GetAllCustomers();
Now when the controller Index code runs with the Web method called I get the following error:
An exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
The strange thing is if I put a break point in the code where the customerList is assigned a value and I comment out the web method (GetAllCustomers) and just use the web service url no 404 exception occurs. It seems to find the web service just fine but there is a problem when I try to make a call to the web method.
dwml = webClient.DownloadString(customerServiceUri);
Has anyone experienced the same problem? I must of forgot to add something or broke something in one of the tutorial files.

Think about it, what is
customerServiceUri + "GetAllCustomers"
?
http:
|
|

|

I am a bit confused. I tried:
readonly string customerServiceUri = "http://localhost:55429/CustomerService";
customerServiceUri + ".svcGetAllCustomers"
I am still getting:
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
|
|
|
|
|
The desired url is
http://localhost:55429/CustomerService.svc/GetAllCustomers
so your code needs to be
customerServiceUri + "/GetAllCustomers"
|

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that but it has been a while since I worked with web services.
