I'm very new to PHP/Drupal. The idea here is I'm trying to grab a dataset from an Energy Star API and transfer that information into a table I created using Ajax. On localhost this works perfectly using Jquery's GETJSON and appending the necessary information to the table with append(). When I try to do this in Drupal, however, nothing works. There is no physical file for this page, it's just a node. I've included the Javascript and CSS pages to the page template with the necessary page path and I know the page can access both because I used Jquery to go between tabs and that works, but I can't get anything Ajax/renewing CSS with table to work.
Do I have to create a module and use a hook menu? I've seen that places but it doesn't seem right seeing that I only have the node to work with.
Thanks in advance!

I want to edit some images which can only be done in WPBakery Page Builder. So, when I try to edit the page with it, the frontend editor (page builder) doesn't loads. Console shows the following error:
Although, the library script tag is added before the tag which is using this library:
I don't know if any of this makes sense, but, yeah, I have tried these solutions because they were mentioned on different forums:
Adding charset="utf-8" to external script tag.
Moving the script tag inside Raw HTML element.
Using $(document).ready(function(){}) to enclose the whole of second
script. So, that it loads after everything is loaded.
Unfortunately, none of these worked for me.
The page builder works fine on pages where I don't use the d3.js library. And, the visualization works fine WHEN NOT IN PAGE BUILDER - the library loads up and the visualization is displayed. You can check it out here:

Also, please note that I don't have access to any of the theme files. So, I can't make any changes to functions.php or any other file.
Your question is related to the WPBakery, not Visual Composer plugin. You need to have the latest version 5.7 in order to fix this issue. More information, contact support.wpbakery.com if you have a valid license.
At the moment I'm working on a mobile website that stores pages in a local database. At the bottom are some basic buttons to navigate to other pages and when you press them I wanted to use jquery's .html function to replace the body content with other html strings from the database. The problem I found is when we go to our contact form page the user can't really use the form fields. They show up, but they're not clickable. I've also noticed that you can't execute javascript functions that are loaded in trough the .html function.
Hopefully you can help me with this problem or suggest a workaround. Thanks
Some jQuery functions strip out script and style tags (e.g. .replace()). That isn't a bug but documented somewhere – unfortunately I can't find that piece of documentation right now.
But that should be no problem in the case of form fields. They should get inserted without any problems.
Here is an example that illustrates your problem.
Explanation:
jQuery html seems to not process some tags, although it does. The problem is when trying to execute jQuery UI related functions on an element not within the DOM
the exemple above shows the difference between calling button jqueryUI function after and before appending the element to the DOM
a generic workaround to solve this problem is:
var div = $('<div></div>').hide().appendTo('body');
then do whatever you want with the div
The company I am working with hosts their webpage on Wordpress. They want me to edit some of the code in order to do various things, such as enable a photo container to be a moving slideshow.
Figuring out the javascript and html to achieve the results they desire is not problematic for me. However, I am unsure how to get full access to the Source Code of the site. I have privileged access to the backend of the site but in wordpress when you go to edit it only shows some of the basic html tags while hiding the <div> and <script> tags and code. Is there any way edit the page in its source code format? I don't want to have to go through the simplified and less expressive/less control Wordpress interface, and I don't even know if I can achieve the desired results with it.
If you try and edit individual pages you're approaching the problem in the wrong way. You probably want to be using a plugin or modifying a plug-in to create the slideshow you need. There are many plugins for wordpress that do what you seem to need.
slider-widget is one such pluging
In Wordpress, there are two main parts to the website's front and backend: the core WP files and the theme that is used. (And other important aspect to a WP site is the database, where all content is stored, including text/images entered in the admin backend.)
Core WP files are not to be changed because they get overwritten with each update. What you want to work with is the theme. Look in Appearance>>Themes and see what the active theme is for the site. It will also tell you the name of the folder the theme files are in.
With FTP, go to root/wp-content/themes/your-theme-name. That's the php, html and css source of the displayed part of the site. Uploaded images are in /uploads/, and plugins in /plugins/.
See http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development to get an idea of how themes are built and how to modify them.
See the rest of the docs at WP to see how to work with plugins, add other javascript correctly so it doesn't conflict with WP's included javascripts, etc. All the docs you really need are at wordpress.org
So i am trying to add a like to my individual posts. So i added this to each of the posts. The posts are generated from database output then assembled with the properly styling in a javascript file.So i added this to the creation mix.
<fb:like href="my_not_so_sweet_website" layout="button_count" show_faces="true" width="200"></fb:like>
Weird part is... None of them show up. THEN i try taking that code that i generated for each post and just copy and paste it to the top of my website, and low and behold A like Button!!!. Any clues? Need more info? Help?
You are using what's called FBML. The like button is rendered on the fly (well, on page load) by a facebook javascript libabry you include on the page- it needs the FBML tags to know what to render.
The problem is that the FB library isn't smart enough to know that you've dynamically added these FBML tags to the DOM.
There is another type of like button that's an iframe, that one should work if you put it in the DOM dynamically. Docs for that are here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
-when you enter your info into the widget there will be an option for iframe.
There is also a FBML render function in the FB javascript SDK. Docs are here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/fb.xfbml.parse/
I have a classifieds website, and the index.html is just going to be a simle form, which uses javascript alot to populate drop lists etc...
I have a menu also, put into a div container, but is this enough?
I mean, I have no content in index.html (almost), but a search form, which submits to a search results page, where all the content is.
So I am worried google might not find suitable sitelinks for my site?
Anybody know if I need to add something to the links in the index.html, which google might use for sitelinks? title tags etc...?
Thanks
Instead of changing your site around you can just create a good sitemap.xml file. That is of course if you're using GET for transferring data to your processing page. I would create a dynamic sitemap.xml page that is based on the form data that your processing page can read.
