I'm using jQuery mobile and my page is generated from an index.php file. When I click on links referring to another option of my php file (index.php?action=other_action) it loads in Ajax so the previous content is still kept in the code. This causes problems as nothing is dynamic anymore, because I'm using specific ids, so it breaks everything. Of course disabling Ajax works but I loose all the beauty of jQuery Mobile.
I guess a solution would be to create an onclick function on the <a>, that will prevent the page from keeping the previous content or delete the old page.
So is there a way to keep using ajax in a way that it doesn't break my dynamic elements ?
You can see it in action here, you can filter names if everything's good. Then click on the top left panel and click something, notice what happens in the inspector...
Thanks for any help.
Hi you have missed enclosing the selector within qoutes...
your jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
//bind a listener to "click" event on links with class "markviewed"
$('a.ui-btn-present').click(function(event) {
$('ul.listlist').listview('refresh');
$(#pageone).remove(); //<-- selector should be within quotes
// get ids from clicked <a>
var id = $(this).attr('data-id');
$(this).attr({
"class" : "ui-btn ui-btn-icon-notext-ok ui-icon-check ui-btn-a"
});
After much more research I wasn't looking in the right direction: the problem was that the listview had to be refreshed. So I created a new function
<script>
function refreshlist() {
$('.listlist').listview("refresh");
$('#pageone').remove();
};
</script>
And then I added onclick= "refreshlist()"to all my links and now it works.

I have not been able to find any discussion of what I'm struggling with on this site or any other, but perhaps I'm not asking the right question. I'm working on a web interface for a wireless speaker powered by the raspberry pi, and (as I inherited it) almost all the POST requests are done with calls to $.ajax. $().ready() is as follows:
$().ready(function (){
$(document).ajaxStart(function (){
$.blockUI({ message: '<img id="loadimg" src="img/loading.gif" width="64" />'});
}).ajaxStop($.unblockUI);
$("nav.setup-nav a").not("[target='_blank']").on("click", function (event){
event.preventDefault();
var href=$(this).attr('href');
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:href,
success:function (data){
$(".contentPanel").html(data);
$(this).blur();
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop:100, scrollLeft:400}, 600);
},
});
return false;
});
});
Which forces all the content of the linked-to pages in the nav menu to load inside a div in the center of the page. That is, except for pages with target="_blank" attribute. This is so event.preventDefault and the UI blocking stuff doesn't get called when linking to an external page that we want to load in a new window. I'll try to concisely describe my issue: One of the menu items is (conditionally) a link to a web-based MPD client, which we definitely do NOT want to load inside a div on the same page, and thus has target="_blank" attribute. The problem is the user can also choose to enable or disable the MPD daemon through the web-interface. PHP handles the setting of all these kinds of state variables. Basically like this:
if ($config->is_flag_set($MPD_FLAG))
{
echo '<li><a target="_blank" id="mpd" href="rompr/">Local Playback Web Interface</a></li>';
}
else
{
echo '<li><a id="mpd" href="local-disabled.php">Local Playback Web Interface</a></li>';
}
and so when the page first loads, if the MPD daemon is not running the link to the web interface is pointed to a page that explains MPD is not enabled. This link does NOT contain the target="_blank" attribute. However, if one navigates to the settings form and switches on MPD, there is logic to replace the href and target attributes of that particular link, so theoretically all should work as if the page had loaded initially with the MPD flag on (if that is clear!). The problem is that when the "replaced" link with target="_blank" (set by .prop() or .attr(), I've tried both and it doesn't seem to make a difference) is clicked, the page still loads inside the div!I tried duplicating the click handler that's defined within $().ready and putting it in another function which I call after the link attributes are set, but it still doesn't work as I imagine it should! Just to verify that I wasn't crazy, I used .each() to print all the links that did and did not have the target="_blank" attribute and that all corresponds to what I believe it should be. Why is the replaced link not getting treated as if it has a target="_blank" attribute in the click handler? By the way, Going the other way and removing the target="_blank" attribute if MPD is turned off, works like a charm. Thanks so much in advance for any answers, and my apologies if I have duplicated a previous question!
Cheers,
Events are always tricky anytime you have to reload elements with ajax. The best way I've found is to attach the event to some container element that will not reload:
$('#always_present_container').on('click', "nav.setup-nav a", function (event){
if($(this).attr('target') != '_blank'){
...
}
});
that way the element is checked for the attribute when its container is clicked. When you set up $('element').click() the selector is checked on the page load and the events attached then, so when you reload something via ajax the new element doesn't get this event attached.
Note: normally you could avoid the conditional statement in the function, but I didn't know of an easy way to filter by target in a css selector.
This is pretty much an add on to a question I posted before about loading an external page without ajax, but keeping it an iOS web app window. What I came up with for that example was this
<script>
$(document).bind('pageinit', function() {
$("#test").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
window.location.assign("test.html");
});
});
</script>
But now what I want to do is to set this up for every link I would have on that page. Seeing as I don't know how many links I could have, it would be very tedious to do this every time I add a new link. So I found this snippet and thought I could combined the two some how, I just need some direction on how.
$('a').each(function(index){
var elementId=$(this). attr("id");
elementId='#'=elementId;
So for each a tag or href on my page, it will automatically grab the link and load it in that particular manner automatically.
Of course you can combine your codes. Anyway I haven't tried your code but you have to wrap an .each() function around your click events. Also you should give every clickable link a the same class. Should look like this:
$('.class').each(function(){
$(this).click(function(){
event.preventDefault();
window.location.assign("test.html");
})
});
if you now want those links to link on different pages you can define a data-href attribute on each link. like this: data-href="test2.html" in your html.
You can now use
$(this).data("href");
and put the output into a variable. Afterwards you can place it in your window.location.assign thing dynamically.
Hope I understood your problem and it helped.
So I got this code
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.ajax') .click(function(e){
e.preventDefault()
$('#content').load( 'file.htm' )
})
})
</script>
html:
Link
it works perfectly in firefox, but nothing happens when I click the link in chrome and IE simply opens a new window with the file. any advice?
I am not a coder of any sort, and I know there is more than one way to make this work.
This is what worked for me for MY situation.
I had a working site but with A LOT of code / DIV content all in one page and I wanted to clean that up.
I hope this Helps someone else!
I have been searching for this solution for quite some time and I have run across many examples of how it can work in different instances.
My scenario was as follows:
I have a photography website that uses a series of DIV tags containing the various "pages" so to speak of the site.
These were all set as:
<div id="DivId" style="display:none"></div>
The following script in the head of the page:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a').click(function () {
var divname= this.name;
$("#"+divname).show("slow").siblings().hide("slow");
});
});
</script>
and called using the anchor links like this:
HOME
Where name was the name of the DIV to be called.
Please note the DIV will be called inside the parent container DIV.
Lastly and most importantly for this particular question and scenario, the DIV were all placed on the page as shown above.
Each div content was created just as if it were within the DIV tags but minus the opening and closing DIV tags and then saved as a separate .txt file, and called by placing this is the head of the parent page:
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.js">
and
$(document).ready(function() { // this runs as soon as the page is ready (DOM is loaded)
$("#DivName") // selecting "div" (you can also select the element by its id or class like in css )
.load("PathToFile.txt");// load in the file specified
$("#AnotherDiv").load("AnotherFile.txt");// Additional DIV can be added to populate DIVs on th eparent page.
});
Change the link to href="#" or "javascript:void(0);return false;"
<a class='ajax' href='#'>...</a>
The loading logic is all in your ajax call. But, you have also a link which points to the file, too.
So, it seems that some browsers give different priorities on how the click is handled.
Anyway, links that do something other than changing page (f.ex. executing js) shouldn't have an explicit HREF attribute other than something that "does nothing" (like above)
I believe the problem is that the script loads before the document is loaded.
try this:
$(document).ready(function (){
$('.ajax').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault()
$('#content').load( 'file.htm' )
});
});
I am not sure, but i can not see any other problem.
First of all, here is the site I am working on.
I am trying to get a modal window to pop-up when elements in the Flash are clicked on. Which at this point I have about 90% working when you click on the warrior image. Below is a list of issues I am still trying to solve that I hope you can help me with...
The modal background doesn't fill up
the whole page like it should.
I cannot get the close button to work
I need to set the vidname variable in
both the Flash and Java to load in a
dynamic HTML file. Depending on which
image is clicked on. My naming
convention will probably be something
like vid-1.html, vid-2.html, etc.
If you need to look at the .js file you can view it at /cmsjs/jquery.ha.js
Below is the ActionScript I currently have...
var vidname = "modal.html";
peeps.vid1.onRelease = function() {
getURL('javascript:loadVid(\'' + vidname + '\');');
};
Well I have one for you.
Your current close code is
$('#modalBG, #modalClose').click(function(){
closeModal();
});
If you click the background after a video loads you'll see that the modal does close. The reason your close button does not work is because #modalClose does not exist in the DOM when you are binding to the click function.
You need to either rebind the modalClose element when you modify the DOM or use live. If you use live you just need to change your click code to this:
$('#modalBG, #modalClose').live("click", (function(){
closeModal();
});
I've successfully been able to make elements (like div's, panel's, whatever) draggable by using this bit of Jquery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$(".drag").draggable({ revert: true });
});
</script>
This works fine for anything that already exists on the page before page_load is done and before any postbacks occur. I have a series of buttons (with a class of '.catbuttons') that when clicked, will call out to my database and retrieve some image url's. Once I retrieve this set of url's, I do a for/next loop and create a whole bunch of image objects and place them into a panel. Each of the images has the cssclass of '.drag' to make it work with the JQuery above.
Problem is, they no longer drag! I've read another post on here about needing to rebind javascript stuff after a postback (even a partial postback?) and this would allow brand new controls to get the above Jquery code attached to them, and hence make them draggable. After some google searching, I ran into this and tested it out:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".catbuttons").live("click", function(){
$(".drag").draggable({ revert: true });
});
</script>
I tried leaving this in the header section of my aspx page with the original script, and also having this here all by itself. No dice either way.
Thoughts?
The above function actually expect a click from user, to call draggable again. Instead you need to do it after postback. Rule here, should be, to register all images with draggable function, after placing the images on page.
Edit:
In your case clicking button just triggers the function to fetch the images. Those images should be placed on page, before you make them draggables. You can register the created object with draggables, immediately after the statements where you place & apply ".drag" cssclass to those object/images at runtime.
