I have a web page (http://www.WillenhallPrimary.org/Science.shtml) which contains an iframe. The iframe includes an <h2 id="staff">Teachers</h2> tag which I'd like to jump to using the parent URL and a hash e.g. http://www.WillenhallPrimary.org/Science.shtml#staff. I'd also like to wait until the page loads before jumping. (I can use a ? instead of # if that's easier.)
The iframe is resized using onLoad:javascript (so it looks like a contiguous
page) which works nicely but I don't know if this is affecting it.
function rfs(){
_i=document.getElementById('ym')
_i.height=150
if(typeof _i.contentDocument!=='undefined'){
_cdd=_i.contentDocument.documentElement
_i.height=Math.max(_cdd.scrollHeight,_cdd.offsetHeight,_cdd.clientHeight)+25
}
else {
_cdb=_i.contentWindow.document.body
_i.height=Math.max(_cdb.scrollHeight,_cdb.offsetHeight,_cdb.clientHeight)+25
}
}
Is this possible? This sounds simple but I've spent hours looking and nothing's working. (I'm not an expert at this.) Is there a better way of doing it?
Any help greatly appreciated.
#mplungjan thanks for the redirect - that solved it straight away.
The code I ended up with is:
window.onload=function(){
if(window.location.hash!=''){
document.getElementById('iframe_id').contentWindow.location.hash=window.location.hash
}
}
seems to work ok. Very happy :-)

After combing the forums and how-to guides, I have found a solution to a Smooth Scrolling problem that I had, but I'd like to ask some kind folks if the solution below will work for me before I try it, or if I'm missing something important.
I'm working on a live site and I don't want to create problems or break anything, so I'd like to be sure before I add the code below. I also know nothing about java or coding, so please forgive me if I don't use the right terms.
I want to enable smooth scrolling to an anchor on another page.
e.g. from my home page "domain.com/home", click the link, then
load the new page, e.g. "domain.com/contact"
and on loading the new page, smoothly scroll to the anchor, "domain.com/contact#section1".
Currently, it simply jumps, and I'd like to know if the steps below will enable the smooth scrolling.
I'm planning to:
Add the following codes to the website template's '' section (in the Joomla admin panel):
<script
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
I'm unsure whether this is necessary because I already use jQuery with some components, is it unnecessary to load jQuery again? Or will it not hurt to add this code regardless?
Then add this code to the same section in the template:
<script type="text/javascript" >
$('html').css({
display: 'none'
});
$(document).ready(function() {
var hashURL = location.hash;
if (hashURL != "" && hashURL.length > 1) {
$(window).scrollTop(0);
$('html').css({
display: 'block'
});
smoothScrollTo(hashURL);
} else {
$('html').css({
display: 'block'
});
}
});
function smoothScrollTo(anchor) {
var duration = 5000; //time
var targetY = $(anchor).offset().top;
$("html, body").animate({
"scrollTop": targetY
}, duration, 'easeInOutCubic');
}
</script>
As far as I know, this will enable the smooth scrolling, but I haven't added anything like 'smoothscroll.js' (which I've read a lot about) -- will that also need adding in the '' (after I upload it to the server), or is that included in the jQuery library?
I'm sorry if this seems very naive, I'm learning as I go. Thank you very much in advance to anyone who provides some feedback on this, I am truly grateful for your time and patience.
Best,
Ben
Firstly, Joomla already loads jQuery, so you do not need to load it again. I would either use a Joomla extension (there is a free one here) or use a smooth scroll library (like this one). Assuming you choose to do the latter, you just need to put the link in your Joomla template to the JS file and initialise it (this is all explained on the Github project page).
Both options are simple but if you don't have much experience in coding then the extension is probably the best way to go.
EDIT: To use smoothscroll on page load with the GitHub library, you will need to change your last function to:
function smoothScrollTo(anchor) {
var scroll = new SmoothScroll();
scroll.animateScroll(anchor);
}
i have a WordPress site and problems with anchors. i have a page with several anchors which are linked to in the main menu. when i am on the page itself, all anchors work fine, but if I'am on any other page, they don't work, at least not in all browsers and the anchors are ignored.
As being informed it is a chrome bug, ive found this solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function(){
var hashNum = 0;
if (window.location.hash != ''){
hashNum = window.location.hash.replace("#oneofmanyanchors", "");
console.log('hashNum: ' + hashNum);
};
hashMenu = jQuery('[data-q_id="#oneofmanyanchors"]').offset().top;
jQuery('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: hashMenu
}, 0);
});
</script>
above code is working and fixes the issues i had in chrome and ff.
however i need this added functionality: At the moment it is addressing only one specific anchor, but i need it to work with any anchors in the page url, not just the one above (anchors are referenced with the data-q_id attribute).
so the code needs to be updated that it grabs any given anchor from the page URL and go to / scroll to that anchor (once) via jquery after first page load.
How do i achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
PS: The problem is caused by theme incompatibility with a certain plugin i need...
I think this should work in every browser - what happens to be the problem?
In order to achieve this in jquery you should scroll to the element/anchor with javascript as soon as the document is loaded.
So like this:
$(function() {
location.hash = "#" + hash;
});
I still think you should find out what went wrong and why the linken from another page doesn't work in some browser before using a workaround for the problem. Your code will just ged more and more messy like that.
How to scroll HTML page to given anchor using jQuery or Javascript?
and here
$(document).ready shorthand
I'm building a simple web-page to use as an info-screen. I would like it to load two external websites into one page. So far I've succeeded using jquery and the html object-tag:
$('#news').html('<object data="http://www.news.com"/>');
$('#weather').html('<object data="http://www.weather.com"/>');
Additionally I'd like the object-tags to scroll to a specific position automatically after they've finished loading.
I tried to use the .scrollTop function of jquery but no luck:
$('div#news > object').scrollTop(300);
$('div#weather > object').scrollTop(300);
I guessed it's because the content of the object tag is not yet loaded when the function is called so I tried to delay it by using
sleep(10000);
but no luck either.
How can I do this?
Thx a lot in advance for any hints!
you should use .load() event.
$('div#news > object').load(function() {
});
Client requests a small video to play as a "splash page". But I dont want to make it the index page for SEO purposes. Can I place a re-direct line of code at the top of my index? Cookies to make it only once?
I think there might be a few ways to do this, but i know none of them.
Thanks for your time.

Like my comment you can use jquery to achieve this. Check my example: http://jsfiddle.net/LSjbS/
The splash section should come last in the markup, as it has the least importance.
You can use javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout('Redirect()',4000); //time in ms
function Redirect()
{
location.href = 'http://www.website.com/path/splash';
}
</script>
It's that easy :) Just put it in the head section. the 4000 is the time in ms (as shown by my comment) change this to 1 for an almost immediate redirect :)
I'm writing a Ruby on Rails app. The following jQuery code is included in the head tag of the index.html.erb file, which is the template for all pages on the site.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#select_mailshot").click(function () {
alert('mailshot');
document.location.href = "/products/1";
});
$("#select_blog").click(function () {
alert('blog');
document.location.href = "/messages";
});
$("#select_contact").click(function () {
alert('contact');
document.location.href = "/contacts/1";
});
});
</script>
(the alert steps are in there for debugging)
The following html code in index.html.erb
<ul>
<li id="select_mailshot">Mailshot</li>
<li id="select_blog">Blog</li>
<li id="select_contact">Contact us</li>
</ul>
The intention is that this effectively creates 3 buttons.
When clicking on any button from http://myurl.com/ it all works.
When clicking on any button from http://myurl.com/messages (get to this via the middle button) it all works
When starting from http://myurl.com/products/1 it all stops working (the alerts do not trigger). In fact when starting from http://myurl.com/anything/id it stops working.
I've been trying to solve this for hours now and the only difference between the working and non-working conditions is the url as far as I can see.
Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on here?
What does firebug tell you? Do you have javascript errors on the page? if so, what are they? Are you sure the jQuery library is included correctly in the deeper pages ( i.e. is it a relative path? )
Is this javascript inlined?
If not, then maybe the link is relative so when you try to load it from messages/40 you need ../script.js. Another solution is to use absolute URLs (http://myurl/script.js) or virtual (/script.js).
Thanks to cherouvim and digitaljoel.
This was due to javascript files being included relative to the current URL.
The following was included in the head tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
I changed it to
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
(note the extra "/" in the src attribute) and everything works as expected.
I worked this out after checking the error logs on the server and in the browser.
Feeling a little dumb but a lesson well learned.
I was using FaceBox to create modal overlays and I couldn't figure out why I was having the same problem.
I turns out that the listener wasn't being attached to HTML elements until it was visible. (The items were available if I viewed source, but jQuery seemed not to attach a listener until it was visible.)
For anyone having the same problem, I'd suggest moving your click() code to a point where the HTML element you're attaching to is visible.
Also, I've found selecting by ID does give more problems than class. I have no idea why. (No, there were not duplicate IDs.)
Hope this helps someone with the same problem!
