I am trying to make my website's menu in one file only and just include it in the rest of the .html pages. I am copy and pasting the menu each time I make a new page because I want the tab that is active to be highlighted for each different page. This is the reason why I can't make one file only for every page, and I have no idea how can I make it work to set the tab active in each different page.
This is the code I am copy-pasting in each page.
<!-- BEGIN MENU -->
<section id="menu-area">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul id="top-menu" class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right main-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Downloads</li>
<li>Media</li>
<li class="dropdown"><a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle"
data-toggle="dropdown">Research <span
class="fa fa-angle-down"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>D3</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Team</li>
<li class="active">Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!--/.nav-collapse -->
<a href="#" id="search-icon"> <i class="fa fa-search"> </i>
</a>
</div>
</nav>
</section>
<!-- END MENU -->
In this case the contact tab is highlighted:
<li class="active">Contact</li>
If the case is that the home page is active, then I would need to do this:
<li class="active">Home</li>
I hope I made myself clear, my English is terrible. I appreciate any idea, I am really new at web development.
One thing you can do is to read the URL and on base of that you add the active class to that link in your menu.
$(function() {
var pgurl = window.location.href.substr(window.location.href
.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
$("#nav ul li a").each(function(){
if($(this).attr("href") == pgurl || $(this).attr("href") == '' )
$(this).addClass("active");
})
});
Using D3
<script>
var pgUrl = window.location.href.substr(window.location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
d3.select("#navbar").selectAll("a").each(function(d){
if(d.tecode here == pgUrl )
d.attr("class","active");
});
</script>
I think this way more useful:
$(function(){
var pgUrl = window.location.href.substr(window.location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
$("#nav ul li a[href='"+ pgUrl +"']").addClass('active');
});

I'm trying to replace two divs that has separate ul elements into a single one, so I can create a single ul with the li of both, but my current code creates separate ul, and that is not my intended purpose, could anyone enlighten me on how to make the proper selection for these:
my jQuery
$('nav div.moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar, nav div.moduletable_menu_navigationbar').replaceWith(function(){
var html = '<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">';
$(' ul',this).each(function(){
html += $(this).html();
});
html+='</ul>';
return html;
});
my HTML
<div class="moduletable_menu_navigationbar">
<ul class="menu">
<li id="current" class="active item8"><span>Banca Personas</span></li>
<li class="item9"><span>Banca Pyme</span></li>
<li class="item10"><span>Banca Empresas</span></li>
<li class="item602"><span>Bankard</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar">
<ul class="menu">
<li class="item12"><span>Informacion Institucional</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
And the output I get (not what I want)
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="item12"><span>Informacion Institucional</span></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li id="current" class="active item8"><span>Banca Personas</span></li>
<li class="item9"><span>Banca Pyme</span></li>
<li class="item10"><span>Banca Empresas</span></li>
<li class="item602"><span>Bankard</span></li>
</ul>
What I want is a single 'ul', I know I can recode it, but I'm trying to use the less code posible.
Your example does not include a <nav> tag which may be the primary cause of your problem, but to produce more readable code I would do it like this.
I used an array for the selectors, because it aids in readability and maintainability. It also allows you to easily insert the new list before the first menu by using only the first selector, whatever that may be.
Basically I select all of the <li> elements descending from the selectors and move those to the newlist. Then insert the new list before the first list div. Then remove the old lists.
var selectors = [
'nav div.moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar',
'nav div.moduletable_menu_navigationbar'
], selectorText = selectors.join(', ');
var newList = $('<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">');
$('li', selectorText).each(function(){ newList.append(this); });
$(selectors[0]).before(newList);
$(selectorText).remove();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<nav>
<div class="moduletable_menu_navigationbar">
<ul class="menu">
<li id="current" class="active item8"><span>Banca Personas</span></li>
<li class="item9"><span>Banca Pyme</span></li>
<li class="item10"><span>Banca Empresas</span></li>
<li class="item602"><span>Bankard</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar">
<ul class="menu">
<li class="item12"><span>Informacion Institucional</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
$('.moduletable_menu_navigationbar .menu').append($('.moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar .menu').html());
$('.moduletable_gfbb_navigationbar').remove();
Is this what you are looking for!!
After clicking the li item, i added the active class with js but it leads to the other page and the active class disappears.
I am using bootstap navwalker so don't know how to use php code into it.
<div id="cssmenu" class="right-tabs">
<ul>
<li></li>
<li>
<ul role="menu" class=" dropdown-menu">
<li>link</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>page</li>
</ul>
</div>
JS
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".dropdown-menu > li").click(function () {
$(this).siblings().removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
});
Could you just add the class based on the url?
Example assuming your on a about page
$(function() {
var loc = window.location.href; // returns the full URL
if(/about/.test(loc)) {
$('.dropdown-menu > li .about').addClass('active');
}
});
in link.php, add active class
<div id="cssmenu" class="right-tabs">
<ul>
<li></li>
<li class="activeClass">
<ul role="menu" class=" dropdown-menu">
<li>link</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>page</li>
</ul>
I've asked this question here but another problem came up so I decided to keep the old one for reference purposes. Old question here.
The old question was just about updating the class of a main-menu based on the url but now things have changed. I will provide the new sidebar below.
Sidebar without any active class yet
<div class="sidebar-scroll">
<div id="sidebar" class="nav-collapse collapse">
<!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU -->
<ul class="sidebar-menu">
<li class="sub-menu">
<a class="" href="panel-admin.php">
<i class="icon-dashboard"></i>
<span>Dashboard</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="sub-menu">
<a href="javascript:;" class="">
<i class="icon-calendar"></i>
<span>Scheduling</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
<ul class="sub">
<li><a class="" href="admin-foreign.php">Foreign Languages</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-esl.php">ESL Local</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-workshop.php">Summer Workshops</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END SIDEBAR MENU -->
</div>
</div>
It would look like this:
Dashboard
Scheduling
--> Foreign Languages
--> ESL Local
--> Summer Workshops
As you can see Scheduling has a sub-menu.
Then how it would look like if I am on the dashboard. The sidebar would look like this
<div class="sidebar-scroll">
<div id="sidebar" class="nav-collapse collapse">
<!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU -->
<ul class="sidebar-menu">
<li class="sub-menu [active]"> //without the []
<a class="" href="panel-admin.php">
<i class="icon-dashboard"></i>
<span>Dashboard</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="sub-menu">
<a href="javascript:;" class="">
<i class="icon-calendar"></i>
<span>Scheduling</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
<ul class="sub">
<li><a class="" href="admin-foreign.php">Foreign Languages</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-esl.php">ESL Local</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-workshop.php">Summer Workshops</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END SIDEBAR MENU -->
</div>
</div>
So the Dashboard would be highlighted in this scenario
And how it would look like if Im on any of the sub-menu under Scheduling
<div class="sidebar-scroll">
<div id="sidebar" class="nav-collapse collapse">
<!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU -->
<ul class="sidebar-menu">
<li class="sub-menu">
<a class="" href="panel-admin.php">
<i class="icon-dashboard"></i>
<span>Dashboard</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="sub-menu [active]">
<a href="javascript:;" class="">
<i class="icon-calendar"></i>
<span>Scheduling</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
<ul class="sub">
<li [class="active"]><a class="" href="admin-foreign.php">Foreign Languages</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-esl.php">ESL Local</a></li>
<li><a class="" href="admin-workshop.php">Summer Workshops</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<!-- END SIDEBAR MENU -->
</div>
Since I am in the Foreign Languages section. The main header Scheduling and this Foreign Langauges would be active but different class. The active class of Scheduling is sub-menu active while Foreign Languages would just have active only.
And javascript that I've tried no longer applies here since it only handles menus without any dropdown. And it didn't work anyway
Old javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
var path = window.location.href; // because the 'href' property of the DOM element is the absolute path
//alert($('ul a').length);
$('ul a').each(function() {
if (this.href === path) {
$(this).addClass('sub-menu active');
}
//alert(this.href);
});
});
</script>
The goal here is to put a "active" class to the section of the sidebar based on the url the user is in. I've just include('sidebar.php') this sidebar so I would only change this file rather than put a sidebar in each php page file. But then the main heading and the dropdown menu has different active classes.
Found the solution with the help of gecco. The javascript is below:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
var path = window.location.href; // because the 'href' property of the DOM element is the absolute path
$('ul a').each(function() {
if (this.href === path) {
$(this).addClass('sub-menu active');
$(this).parent().closest("li").addClass('active'); //added this line to include the parent
$(this).parent().parent().closest("li").addClass('active');
}
});
});
</script>
I was already halfway with using php to do this HAHAHAHA. if current_url = db_page_url then put echo class=active. HAHAHA.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
var path = window.location.href; // because the 'href' property of the DOM element is the absolute path
$('ul a').each(function() {
if (this.href === path) {
$(this).addClass('sub-menu active');
$(this).parent().parent().closest("li").addClass('active2');
}
});
});
</script>
The only change I have done here is adding another line to your JS
$(this).parent().parent().closest("li").addClass('active2');
And here is my style sheet
.active2 > a{
color:red; //what ever the styles you want
}
OR
You can do it without a style
jQuery(function($) {
var path = window.location.href;
$('ul a').each(function() {
if (this.href === path) {
$(this).addClass('sub-menu active');
$( this ).parent().parent().closest("li").addClass('active2');
$('.active2 a:first').addClass('active'); //add the active class to the parent node
}
});
});
how to add javascript function to a class of active ??
I do not understand completely about javascript.
if i click menu its like remove and add new class nav active.
<div id="sidebar">
<ul id="mainNav">
<li id="navDashboard" class="nav active">
<span class="icon-home"></span>
Beranda
</li>
<li id="navPages" class="nav">
<span class="icon-document-alt-stroke"></span>
Data Profil
<ul class="subNav">
<li>Peta Lokasi</li>
<li>Site Plan</li>
</ul>
</li>
You can use something like this:
$(selector).click(function(){
$(this).removeClass(your class)
.addClass('active');
});
You have to define the selector you want to do something.
Recently I am having a problem with my jquery code. I was trying to get the elements from the html using the jquery find method but its not working. I have tried changing the elements name but still i cant find where is my mistake.
Here is the following html code:
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<nav>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class = "dropdown"><span>About Us</span><b class = "caret"></b>
<ul class = "dropdown-menu">
<li data-slide = '1'>Philosophy</li>
<li>Founding Members</li>
<li>Committee</li>
<li>Code of Ethics</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li data-slide='2'>Digital Ecosystem</li>
<li data-slide='3'>Fellow & Members</li>
<li data-slide='4'>SIGs</li>
<li data-slide='5'>Local Chapters</li>
<li data-slide="7">Events</li>
<li data-slide="8">Our Service</li>
<li>
<a href="#" onClick="window.open('logout.php','_self','width=400,height=200,toolbar=yes, location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes, resizable=yes')">
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['CurrentUser'])) {
echo "Log Out";
}
?>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" onClick="window.open('login.php','_self','width=400,height=200,toolbar=yes, location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes, resizable=yes')">
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION['CurrentUser'])) {
echo "Login/Register";
}
?>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
I have included my jquery code too :
var links = $('.nav, .navbar-nav, .navbar-right').find('li');
Actually what the code does is once it find the 'li' html elements it slides the page each time a 'li' element is being clicked. Now if I click on the 'li' elements my page doesnt scrolls to the selected page. it would be great if someone is there to solve my problem.
Try this (if you really want the "links" tags):
var links = $('.nav.navbar-nav.navbar-right').find('a');
