If the text We are sorry but we made a boo boo
appears then
I would like to do this in JavaScript.
Here is an attempt
(function () {
"use strict";
function walkTheDOM(node, func) {
if (node && node.nodeType) {
if (typeof func === "function") {
func(node);
}
node = node.firstChild;
while (node) {
walkTheDOM(node, func);
node = node.nextSibling;
}
}
}
function filterElementsByContains(elements, string) {
var toStringFN = {}.toString,
text = toStringFN.call(elements),
result,
length,
i,
element;
if (text !== "[object NodeList]" && text !== "[object Array]" && !($() instanceof jQuery)) {
return result;
}
result = [];
if (typeof string === "string") {
string = new RegExp("^" + string + "$");
} else if (toStringFN.call(string) !== "[object RegExp]") {
return result;
}
function getText(node) {
if (node.nodeType === 3) {
text += node.nodeValue;
}
}
length = elements.length;
i = 0;
while (i < length) {
text = "";
element = elements[i];
walkTheDOM(element, getText);
if (string.test(text)) {
result.push(element);
}
i += 1;
}
return result;
}
if(filterElementsByContains([document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]], /We are sorry but we made a boo boo/).length) {
location.reload();
}
The above could should, I think, work for the text if it appears in a specific place. I want to make it more general - so that the text could appear anywhere on that page.
Also, I would like to know how to add a pause so that, for example, it waits 5 seconds before reloading.
I guess I would add incorporate something like:
setTimeout(
function()
{
//location.reload();
}, 5000);
Just do an indexOf on the body's textContent/innerText property
var content = document.body.textContent || document.body.innerText;
var hasText = content.indexOf("We are sorry but we made a boo boo")!==-1;
if(hasText){
setTimeout(function(){
window.location = "http://www.example.com";
},5000);
}
