Image Filter Display Tutorial
We’re glad today’s “Image Filter Display Tutorial” blog posting title is shorter than yesterday’s “Animated GIF Duration Calculation Filter Browsing Tutorial” because the main task today was …
- to take all our “proof of concept” web applications and distil them down to an “Image Filter Display” web application of far greater simplicity … and along that way …
- we had to play around with one more “proof of concept” idea, that of allowing the user to control the content of the CSS filters dropdown, and our first “out there” thought that contenteditable=true could be applied to all the dropdown’s option elements to achieve this needed to be disproved (as it took two hours to be sure of … to be sure) … in favour of a new dropdown “Change” option solution …

}
var reselit=prompt('Please change the semicolon separated options list. Optionally hash # separate a CSS filter refresh interval in seconds (currently ' + eval(Math.abs(ingifint) / 1000.000) + ' seconds).', oselo.innerText);
if (reselit != null) {
if (reselit.indexOf('#') != -1) {
if (ingifint < 0) {
ingifint=Math.round(eval(-1000.0 * eval('' + reselit.split('#')[1].split(';')[0])));
} else {
ingifint=Math.round(eval(1000.0 * eval('' + reselit.split('#')[1].split(';')[0])));
}
reselit=reselit.replace('#' + reselit.split('#')[1].split(';')[0], '');

return '';
}
… and … - in the image browsing helper we needed to allow for non animated GIF images, as we did for our new image_css_filter_display.html “first draft” “Image Filter Display” web application”
And so, onto yesterday’s Animated GIF Duration Calculation Filter Browsing Tutorial we developed, today, a changed client_browsing.htm helper web application you can try for yourself as a standalone arrangement or have it get called via today’s changed read_exif_off_image_rotate.php PHP image exif reporter web application.

Can a “proof of concept” arrangement last three blog postings? If there’s more you want to prove, ahead of committing to the final product that might hone in on the specificity of the idea, and another iframe hosted web application joins in on “proof of concept” goings on and will be useful into the future, we’d say it’s possible, yes. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?!
In our defence, it is easier to prove all solutions to all the contentious issues, and then hone in and reduce to make a specific new web application, rather than extending and still needing to prove as you go along, not knowing whether an issue will cause you insurmountable issues in the future.
But they would say that, wouldn’t they?!
And so, continuing on from the recent Animated GIF Duration Calculation Filter Tutorial we considered another mode that a user might use on top of …
- entering an image (animated GIF) URL into a textbox … that being to …
- browse for a local system (animated GIF) file (via File API)
… getting us to call on changes to our “via File API” specialist with a changed (with new data URI supporting Javascript) …

Did you know?
A quirk with our new HTML button element within an HTML form had us, initially, before realizing …
- onmousedown event event.stopPropagation() usage can be used to cancel a following onclick event on non-mobile … and …
- ontouchdown (yay!!!) event event.stopPropagation() usage can be used to cancel a following onclick event on mobile
… as in …
<button title='Click or touch here, as required, for chance to browse for Animated GIF' ontouchdown='event.stopPropagation(); spagif();' onmousedown='event.stopPropagation(); spagif();'><sup>Animated</sup><sub>GIF</sub></button>
… and could overcome the adverse “onclick” based coding we had prior to the discovery. Thanks to javascript – Does using event.preventDefault() in “mousedown” prevent “click” or “mouseup” event in jquery? – Stack Overflow for the heads up about this.

We want to prove that CSS filter works for animated GIFs as well as it appears to work with other image types of elements.
Conservative worry, we grant you, but we did want to make sure this all worked, and happily, it was all fine …

We’ve got a new (mini-?)project developing. No, it doesn’t hurt in the “you know what”! But thanks for your concern?!
It’s a project that reminds us about an adage regarding projects, that might seem pretty obvious, but is worth mentioning …
Many projects being 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration, there might be the “not sure we can do” items that should be tackled first.
That truism is all well and good, but not always possible, of course, when you have to set up the difficult environment ahead of testing this unknown. Not so, with the “unknown” of our new project …
We want to know whether we can detect an animated GIF media file playing duration, ideally in client side Javascript, and if not possible there, we would settle for a server side PHP solution.
Happily (via our duration of animated GIF using Javascript Google search), yet again, the online wooooorrrrlllldd has come to our rescue via this excellent webpage‘s Javascript ideas, so many thanks!
We slotted its thinking (and Javascript (via PHP) …

... logic), you might say in a "kludgy" way (but, for us, serving a "proof of concept" purpose), that allows us to proceed on other aims of our project that will become apparent into the near future. No, we are not totally "out of the woods" yet regarding "unknowns" but today's changed read_exif_off_image_rotate.php PHP image exif reporter web application) into the "onblur" logic of an image URL textbox HTML element, that web application talked about when we presented Gimp Guillotine Image File Browse Media Tutorial. You might try it yourself, but not sure "animated GIF and exif" mix, if you get my meaning, but if your image is an animated GIF you should be informed of its duration, in seconds, up the top of the webpage (given permissions and all, that is)?
