Show all hidden elements when a page loads with override? - javascript

I have a page that forces some JS to load on a page that I need to override. I can load a separate JS file to do this. I want to have the page do the .show for any of the .below-the-folds on the page. I guess the best way to say it is, I want all the "more" things on the page to be expanded when the page loads, rather than making a person click more to see what's below the fold on all these.
This is the JS I need to override, I can't change it since it's loaded by the app automatically. There can be more than one of the lists hidden, I'm not sure how much harder that makes things.
function MoreFacets($more_facets_div) {
this.$more_facets_div = $more_facets_div;
this.bind_events();
};
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
new MoreFacets($(this));
});
});
It's loaded on the page and the HTML looks like this:
<h3>Additional filters: </h3>
<dl id="facets">
<dt>Collecting Area</dt>
<dd> Here's Something in the list</dd>
<dd> Here's the last in the list</dd>
<div class="more-facets">
<span class="more btn">∨ more</span>
<div class="below-the-fold">
<dd>Something That's hidden is here</dd>
<dd>Something more in this hidden list</dd>
So when the ∨ more is clicked is when the others below-the-fold appear, and that's what I want to load when the page loads. There's usually a few different lists like this on the page.
So I'm thinking what I need to do is something like run the ('.below-the-fold').show() for all the lists when the page loads?
Update A note to clarify: when the page loads now they're all hidden. I'd like them to all show when the page is loaded so no one has to click anything to have everything showing.
Another note based on another question below... It's loaded in a separate file, and I can load my file before that one. I do know that I can override other JS on the page, so I assume I can override this as well.

Based on your last edit, it sounds like you're already onto the fastest solution to your problem.
Please note, this will only work if the script is not loaded asynchronously, but if you have control of the order the scripts are loaded in, you can insert your script between the problem script and jQuery.
Your script can be something as easy as redefining the function it's using to something like this:
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
//Autostart in our open state without completely disabling the functionality
self.$more_facets_div.find('.below-the-fold').show();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').hide();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
Now, that won't work if you don't have control over the script loading, but you might have hope even in that case, because document ready functions in jQuery are invoked in the order they're registered, so if you can't really control where your script is you might play with an alternative
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
$(this).find('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).find('.more').hide();
});
});
The first will be cleaner, but the second is a fallback for more restrictive situations, and both should achieve your desired effect without completely removing the functionality, just changing the default state on load.

Rerun Jquery function onclick

I have a simple jquery script that changes the url path of the images. The only problem is the doesn't apply after I click the load more button. So I'm trying to do a workaround where it calls the script again after clicking the button.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function ReplaceImage() {
$(".galleryItem img").each(function() {
$(this).attr("src", function(a, b) {
return b.replace("s72-c", "s300")
})
})
});
</script>
HTML
Load More
While Keith's answer will get you what you are looking for, I really can't recommend that approach. You are much better off with something like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var replaceImage = function() {
$('.galleryItem img').each(function() {
$(this).attr('src', function(index, value) {
return value.replace('s72-c', 's300');
});
});
};
replaceImage();
$('.js-replace-image').on('click', replaceImage);
});
</script>
Using this html
<button class="js-replace-image">Load More</button>
By taking this approach, you do not expose any global variables onto the window object, which can be a point of issue if you work with other libraries (or developers) that don't manage their globals well.
Also, by moving to a class name and binding an event handler to the DOM node via JavaScript, you future proof yourself much more. Also allows yourself to easily add this functionality to more buttons very easily but just adding a class to it.
I updated the anchor tag to a button because of the semantics of what you need to do - it doesn't link out anywhere, it's just dynamic functionality on the page. This is what buttons are best served for.
I'd also recommend putting this in the footer of your site, because then, depending on your situation, you will already have the images updated properly without having to click the button. The only need for the button would be if you are dynamically inserting more images on the page after load, or if this script was in the head of your document (meaning jQuery couldn't know about the images yet).
I hope this helps, reach out if you have questions.

Can't load HTML code into a div when an image button is clicked

So I am making a website for radio streams and was told I should use Jquery and AJAX to load the HTML files into a div on button click so that I wouldn't have to make the user load a completely new HTML page for each radio stream. But I am a bit lost since I am new to this language and I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong.
Currently I have a index.html page that loads each individual div and loads all the available radio stations in an iframe linking to an HTML file. In this HTML file there are around 40 buttons that each have to link to their own radio stream. On a button press I want said stream to load into the 'radio player' div for a smooth transition.
After trying to google the problem I was told to do this with the following JavaScript code:
$(function(){
$(".538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
Since each button is also showing its own image file, I tried to add class="538 to each image source so the JavaScript knows what is targeted. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work at all and I have no clue what to do. I tried to do this in a separate index.js file which unfortunately didn't work, so I tried to use the JavaScript code in the HTML file itself, and this didn't seem to do the trick either.
TL/DR: trying to load HTML code in a div when an image button is clicked.
Is there perhaps a tutorial for this available? I tried to search the web but couldn't find anything at all. If anyone is able to help me out with this problem I'd love you forever.
I think what's happening is that you're working with dynamic elements. More importantly you should never use numbers to start off either a class name or id.
Unless you post a bit more code it's hard to figure out exactly what you're wanting to do.
If you work with dynamic html the click event won't work, because well you need do dynamically bind the event listener.
For that you can use
$('#dynamicElement').on('click', function() {
$(this).find('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
The above code works if the element is nested in the button. If it's an external element then use.
$('#dynamicElement').on('click',function() {
$('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/abount-info.html');
});
You mentioned that this language is a bit new to you; If you're open to a bit of refactoring:
Your main page should have 2 sections:
<div id='myButtons'>
<input type='radio' data-url='/includes/about-info.html' />
<...>
</div>
<div id='myContent'></div>
<script>
$(function() { //jquery syntax - waits for the page to load before running
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() { // jquery: any click from an input inside of myButtons will be caught)
var button = $(this),
url = button.data('url'),
content = $('#myContent');
content.load(url);
});
</script>
Jquery: http://api.jquery.com/
you can try this
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() {
$.get("about-info.html", function(data) {
$("#div3").html(data);
});
});
or
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
$(".radio538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
})
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#radio1').on('click',function(){
#('#loadradiohere').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
});
Try that code in your .js file. I am still working for a similar project man.

Call function anytime a link is moused over on an arbitrary page?

I apologize for the possibly naive nature of this question but I am not a web developer by day.
Is it possible to write a script such that, for any arbitrary web page, a function that I have written will be called if a URL is moused over? I was initially thinking that I could use document.links to assemble an array of all of the hrefs in a document and add an onmouseover event attribute to each of them but, unless I'm mistaken, that would overwrite any existing onmouseover attributes already present in the page. Not ideal.
I'm not sure if by arbitrary web page you mean any pages on any domains or any pages of your own domain, but for the latter you could put something like the following in your pages:
$(function () {
$(document).on('mouseenter', 'a', function () {
console.log(this, 'hovered');
});
});
If you mean any page your browse to on the net, then you will have to write a browser extension for the browser your are using. For Chrome have a look at this.
You could try getting everything with the a tag and inject an onmouseover.
window.onload = function(){
for(m=0;m<document.getElementsByTagName('a');m++){
if(document.getElementsByTagName('a')[m].className == 'someclass'){
document.getElementsByTagName('a')[m].onmouseover = function(){
Your Code
}
}
}
}

First toggle open by default

So have a block of toggles on my page and now I need to add another block of toggles on the same page but this one with the first toggle active/open by default.
I've been working around the JS but no luck so far so I need your precious help to get this to work.
Thanks!
Demo
Javascript
jQuery(window).load(function(){
$('.toggle-view li').click(function () {
var text = $(this).children('div.toggle-content');
if (text.is(':hidden')) {
text.slideDown('200');
$(this).children('span').html('<i class="icon-minus"></i>');
} else {
text.slideUp('200');
$(this).children('span').html('<i class="icon-plus"></i>');
}
$(this).toggleClass('activetoggle');
});
});
You can do it with something like:
$('.added_class_on_second li').eq(0).children('.toggle-content').show();
Just add another distinct class to the second, or target it with:
$('.toggle-view').eq(1).children('li').eq(0).children('.toggle-content').show();
if you don't want to change the html at all.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/CDdlH
If you need the first section to be open when the page loads you could simply call click() on $('.toggle-view li').first(). However, this may have undesired side effects if you have other actions occur on click, and it will perform an animation, so consider creating a function open which does nothing but open the indicated section, and calling that on document load.

AJAX based page needs repetitive javascript actions

I'm working on an application that uses JQuery layouts and loads only website parts (like Gmail). Every time I load a "panel" using JQuery I have to substitute some links to make it work with panels (i.e., to load this link content in a panel, not in the full page). Is something like this:
function changeMainPane(href) {
$("#screen").load(href);
$("#screen a.ajax-page").click(function () {return
changeMainPane($(this).attr("href"))
});
}
This is a very simplified changeMainPane function, mine has tens of $("#screen ...").click() calls to integrate the new piece of HTML into the page.
The question is: there is any better way to do this? Something like:
$("#screen").ready(function() {
// All my html setups
}
Or something like "always a user clicks on a link, check if has ajax-page class and the call this function" without having to initialize each link independently.
You can have a look at the delegate method. The delegate method can be registered for the common parent element of all the links on which you wants to reload the main panel. It can be the document object or a lower level element like "body" or another div like "div.mylinks".
$(document).delegate("a.ajax-page", "click", function(){
changeMainPane($(this).attr("href"))
})
Maybe jQuery live() is what you're looking for. You use it like this:
$("#screen a.ajax-page").live('click', function () { whatever; });
Then you don't need to reinitizalize after ajax activity.
