I want home.html to load in <div id="content">.
<div id="topBar"> HOME </div>
<div id ="content"> </div>
<script>
function load_home(){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="type/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}
</script>
This works fine when I use Firefox. When I use Google Chrome, it asks for plug-in. How do I get it working in Google Chrome?
I finally found the answer to my problem. The solution is
function load_home() {
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}
Fetch API
function load_home (e) {
(e || window.event).preventDefault();
fetch("http://www.yoursite.com/home.html" /*, options */)
.then((response) => response.text())
.then((html) => {
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = html;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.warn(error);
});
}
XHR API
function load_home (e) {
(e || window.event).preventDefault();
var con = document.getElementById('content')
, xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function (e) {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
con.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
}
}
xhr.open("GET", "http://www.yoursite.com/home.html", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'text/html');
xhr.send();
}
based on your constraints you should use ajax and make sure that your javascript is loaded before the markup that calls the load_home() function

MDN - Using Fetch
JSFIDDLE demo
You can use the jQuery load function:
<div id="topBar">
HOME
</div>
<div id ="content">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#load_home").on("click", function() {
$("#content").load("content.html");
});
});
</script>
Sorry. Edited for the on click instead of on load.
Fetching HTML the modern Javascript way
This approach makes use of modern Javascript features like async/await and the fetch API. It downloads HTML as text and then feeds it to the innerHTML of your container element.
/**
* #param {String} url - address for the HTML to fetch
* #return {String} the resulting HTML string fragment
*/
async function fetchHtmlAsText(url) {
return await (await fetch(url)).text();
}
// this is your `load_home() function`
async function loadHome() {
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
contentDiv.innerHTML = await fetchHtmlAsText("home.html");
}
The await (await fetch(url)).text() may seem a bit tricky, but it's easy to explain. It has two asynchronous steps and you could rewrite that function like this:
async function fetchHtmlAsText(url) {
const response = await fetch(url);
return await response.text();
}
See the fetch API documentation for more details.
I saw this and thought it looked quite nice so I ran some tests on it.
It may seem like a clean approach, but in terms of performance it is lagging by 50% compared by the time it took to load a page with jQuery load function or using the vanilla javascript approach of XMLHttpRequest which were roughly similar to each other.
I imagine this is because under the hood it gets the page in the exact same fashion but it also has to deal with constructing a whole new HTMLElement object as well.
In summary I suggest using jQuery. The syntax is about as easy to use as it can be and it has a nicely structured call back for you to use. It is also relatively fast. The vanilla approach may be faster by an unnoticeable few milliseconds, but the syntax is confusing. I would only use this in an environment where I didn't have access to jQuery.
Here is the code I used to test - it is fairly rudimentary but the times came back very consistent across multiple tries so I would say precise to around +- 5ms in each case. Tests were run in Chrome from my own home server:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content"></div>
<script>
/**
* Test harness to find out the best method for dynamically loading a
* html page into your app.
*/
var test_times = {};
var test_page = 'testpage.htm';
var content_div = document.getElementById('content');
// TEST 1 = use jQuery to load in testpage.htm and time it.
/*
function test_()
{
var start = new Date().getTime();
$(content_div).load(test_page, function() {
alert(new Date().getTime() - start);
});
}
// 1044
*/
// TEST 2 = use <object> to load in testpage.htm and time it.
/*
function test_()
{
start = new Date().getTime();
content_div.innerHTML = '<object type="text/html" data="' + test_page +
'" onload="alert(new Date().getTime() - start)"></object>'
}
//1579
*/
// TEST 3 = use httpObject to load in testpage.htm and time it.
function test_()
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
{
content_div.innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;
alert(new Date().getTime() - start);
}
};
start = new Date().getTime();
xmlHttp.open("GET", test_page, true); // true for asynchronous
xmlHttp.send(null);
// 1039
}
// Main - run tests
test_();
</script>
</body>
</html>
try
async function load_home(){
content.innerHTML = await (await fetch('home.html')).text();
}
async function load_home() {
let url = 'https://kamil-kielczewski.github.io/fractals/mandelbulb.html'
content.innerHTML = await (await fetch(url)).text();
}
<div id="topBar"> HOME </div>
<div id="content"> </div>
When using
$("#content").load("content.html");
Then remember that you can not "debug" in chrome locally, because XMLHttpRequest cannot load -- This does NOT mean that it does not work, it just means that you need to test your code on same domain aka. your server
You can use the jQuery :
$("#topBar").on("click",function(){
$("#content").load("content.html");
});
$("button").click(function() {
$("#target_div").load("requesting_page_url.html");
});
or
document.getElementById("target_div").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="requesting_page_url.html"></object>';
<script>
var insertHtml = function (selector, argHtml) {
$(document).ready(function(){
$(selector).load(argHtml);
});
var targetElem = document.querySelector(selector);
targetElem.innerHTML = html;
};
var sliderHtml="snippets/slider.html";//url of slider html
var items="snippets/menuItems.html";
insertHtml("#main",sliderHtml);
insertHtml("#main2",items);
</script>
this one worked for me when I tried to add a snippet of HTML to my main.html.
Please don't forget to add ajax in your code
pass class or id as a selector and the link to the HTML snippet as argHtml
There is this plugin on github that load content into an element. Here is the repo
https://github.com/abdi0987/ViaJS
load html form a remote page ( where we have CORS access )
parse the result-html for a specific portion of the page
insert that part of the page in a div on current-page
//load page via jquery-ajax
$.ajax({
url: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17636528/how-do-i-load-an-html-page-in-a-div-using-javascript",
context: document.body
}).done(function(data) {
//the previous request fails beceaus we dont have CORS on this url.... just for illlustration...
//get a list of DOM-Nodes
var dom_nodes = $($.parseHTML(data));
//find the question-header
var content = dom_nodes.find('#question-header');
//create a new div and set the question-header as it's content
var newEl = document.createElement("div");
$(newEl).html(content.html());
//on our page, insert it in div with id 'inserthere'
$("[id$='inserthere']").append(newEl);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p>part-result from other page:</p>
<div id="inserthere"></div>
Use this simple code
<div w3-include-HTML="content.html"></div>
<script>w3.includeHTML();</script>
</body>```
This is usually needed when you want to include header.php or whatever page.
In Javascript it's easy especially if you have HTML page and don't want to use php include function but at all you should write php function and add it as Javascript function in script tag.
In this case you should write it without function followed by name Just. Script rage the function word and start the include header.php
i.e convert the php include function to Javascript function in script tag and place all your content in that included file.
I use jquery, I found it easier
$(function() {
$("#navigation").load("navbar.html");
});
in a separate file and then load javascript file on html page
showhide.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHide(switchTextDiv, showHideDiv)
{
var std = document.getElementById(switchTextDiv);
var shd = document.getElementById(showHideDiv);
if (shd.style.display == "block")
{
shd.style.display = "none";
std.innerHTML = "<span style=\"display: block; background-color: yellow\">Show</span>";
}
else
{
if (shd.innerHTML.length <= 0)
{
shd.innerHTML = "<object width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" type=\"text/html\" data=\"showhide_embedded.html\"></object>";
}
shd.style.display = "block";
std.innerHTML = "<span style=\"display: block; background-color: yellow\">Hide</span>";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id="switchTextDiv1" href="javascript:showHide('switchTextDiv1', 'showHideDiv1')">
<span style="display: block; background-color: yellow">Show</span>
</a>
<div id="showHideDiv1" style="display: none; width: 100%; height: 300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
showhide_embedded.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
var ts = document.getElementById("theString");
ts.scrollIntoView(true);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<pre>
some text 1
some text 2
some text 3
some text 4
some text 5
<span id="theString" style="background-color: yellow">some text 6 highlight</span>
some text 7
some text 8
some text 9

If your html file resides locally then go for iframe instead of the tag. tags do not work cross-browser, and are mostly used for Flash
For ex : <iframe src="home.html" width="100" height="100"/>
enter image description herewe've tried to write a script for a web app to a specific spreadsheet
the code is 2 files one in js
function doGet() {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile("page");
}
//function userClicked(name) {
//var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T3AX_YBC8703g6N7sKot41tXUh6XN4zpcBF2V-_7iJ8/edit#gid=0";
//var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(url);
//var ws = ss.getSheetByName("Data");
//ws.appendRow([name])
//Logger.log(name + "Clicked Run Button");
//}
function userClicked() {
Logger.log("Someone Clicked the button");
}
and the other in html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<button id="btn">RUN !!</button>
<script>
function doSomething() {
google.script.run.code.userClicked();
}
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", doSomething());
</script>
</body>
</html>
we can't get the desired action when run button is clicked
we don't know if it's the declaration of functions or summoning them
please help guide to rectify the error
this is yje project link for further analysis

According to the Google Script client side API documentation, the path to call the App Script function is google.script.run.yourFunction() so in your html file. Also you are invoking the function straight away and passing the result of it to addEventListener(), instead of passing the function itself. The script should be this:
function doSomething() {
google.script.run.userClicked();
}
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", doSomething);
I want that as soon as my .html file is opened , a pdf starts to download automatically (support for pc , tablets, phones) . I am not sure what am I doing wrong ?
Thank you . Any sure short JavaScript is more than welcome
<a href = "/public/news.pdf" download> </a>
window.onload function is that you are looking for.
window.onload = function() {
var url = "Your file url";
var w=window.open(url, '_blank');
w.focus();
};
This will help you
Use this:
HTML
<a id="downloadLink" href="news.pdf" download></a>
Java Script
Solution 1 :
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('downloadLink').click();
}
</script>
Solution 2: after 2 second
<script>
var downloadStartTime = setTimeout(function () {
document.getElementById('downloadLink').click();
}, 2000);
</script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var downloadUrl = "your_file_url";
setTimeout("window.location.assign('" + downloadUrl + "');", 1000);
});
using javascript
<iframe id="download_iframe" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<script>
function Download() {
document.getElementById('download_iframe').src = "//somewhere.abc/somefolder/something.exe";
};
Download();
</script>
This way, your client will be asked whether to "Save" or "Run" the file.
Try this:
<html>
<body onload="myFunction()">
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById('a').click();
}
</script>
<a href="./image.pdf" download="image" id="a"> <img src="./image.pdf">
</a>
</body>
</html>
I need run
How do that?
My code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Detal(date1, date2){
<a id="various5" href="data/iframe.html?Detal_1=date1&Detal_2=date2">
}
</script>
If you want to do a redirect use window.location
function Detal(date1, date2){
window.location.href = "data/iframe.html?Detal_1=" +date1+ "&Detal_2=" +date2;
}
If this is not the intent, you need to explain your issue in a lot more detail
how can I run Function in original page from window.open
original_page.html
<div id="Processing" style="display:none;">
<button onclick="window.open("Processing_window.html")">open</button>
</div>
<script language="JavaScript">
function submit_form() {
var upgradeForm = document.getElementById('upgradeForm');
setTimeout("upgradeForm.submit()",3000);
}
</script>
========
Processing_window.html
<script language="JavaScript">
function Processing_window() {
var doc = window.opener.document, Processing = doc.getElementById("Processing");
Processing.style = '';
submit_form(); //Here the problem
window.close();
}
setTimeout ("Processing_window()",5000);
</script>
========
I went to run "submit_form();" funcion from Processing_window.html
To access functions from the opener, use window.opener.functionName, assuming both are in the same domain.
function Processing_window() {
var doc = window.opener.document, Processing = doc.getElementById("Processing");
Processing.style = '';
// Here's the solution
window.opener.submit_form();
window.close();
}
setTimeout ("Processing_window()",5000);
You need to HTML encode the quotation marks in the code in the attribute, or use apostrophes:
<button onclick="window.open('Processing_window.html')">open</button>
As long as the page that you open has the same origin (same server, same protocol), you can use the opener property to access the parent windows window object. There's where you find the reference to the function:
window.opener.submit_form();
You can, but not cross-domain. Only in the same domain.
<script>
function new_win_fun() {
var wind = window.open("Processing_window.html");
var upgradeForm = wind.document.getElementById("upgradeForm");
wind.setTimeout("upgradeForm.submit()",3000);
}
</script>
<button onclick="new_win_func()">Run</button>
