How to change a link pointing to JavaScript to run automatically? - javascript

If I have JavaScript function which is called only when I click on a link.
How can I run that JavaScript automatically?
Please note that I've tried many methods, but they are not working.
The code is:
<div align="left"><a href="javascript:show_desc(document.getElementById('d_<?php echo $item->id;?>'));" class="tablchet" ><?php echo $item->name;?></span></a></div>

In order to properly separate presentation (HTML) and behavior (JS) we will not include any JS into HTML markup. We will also not create dependencies between type of tag and JS function so our code will be
<div align="left">
<a href="" data-id="<?php echo $item->id; ?>" class="tablchet">
<span><?php echo $item->name; ?></span>
</a>
</div>
or even the following
<div align="left">
<span data-id="<?php echo $item->id; ?>" class="tablchet"><?php echo $item->name; ?></span>
</div>
For the presentation, it's ok. Now, use some JS into a separate file included after the presentation HTML with <script src="behavior.js"></script> or directly into HTML document between <script></script>.
The JS could be as following:
// Create a function allow you to manipulate the item clicked and the item targeted (with the id).
var showDesc = function (sender, target) {
// When the sender is clicked...
sender.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Do Something with the target...
console.log(target);
});
};
// This part will be executed when all HTML presentation from server will be parse.
document.addEventListener("load", function () {
// Our sender is our `class="tablchet"` markup.
var sender = document.getElementsByClassName("tablchet")[0],
// create the id name with the `data-id` information.
id = "d_" + sender.getAttribute("data-id"),
// and our target is finded with its id.
target = document.getElementById(id);
// Use our showDesc with sender and target wished.
showDesc(sender, target);
});

The way you run the javascript on page is to use the script tag.
Your example would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
show_desc(document.getElementById('d_<?php echo $item->id;?>'));
</script>

Well,you are document.getElementById,So,one thing is clear you want to call method after complete page is load as you get the element after DOM is ready.
With JavaScript you can do like this.
window.onload = function() {
var show_desc = function(htmlEle) {
// do further processing.
}
var eleId = 'd_<?php echo $item->id;?>';
var htmlEle = document.getElementById(eleId);
show_desc(htmlEle);
}
If you are using jQuery lib then you can do like this.
$(document).ready(function() {
var show_desc = function(htmlEle) {
// do further processing.
}
var eleId = 'd_<?php echo $item->id;?>';
var htmlEle = $("#eleId");
show_desc(htmlEle);
})

Populate DIV with an PHP arrayelement based on a click on a link

What I want:
A list of links show events - a click on such a link shall show further details in a special DIV on the same page.
Idea:
I read from the database all events:
$queryEventString = 'Match (e:Event) WHERE e.eventStatus = "not_processed"
RETURN e.UUID as eventUUID,
e.eventFrom as eventFrom,
e.eventType as eventType,
e.eventTime as eventTime,
e.eventSubject as eventSubject,
e.eventBody as eventBody';
$resultEvent = $client->run($queryEventString);
This gives me all available events in the DB that are not yet processed.
I assgin all found events identified by their UUID into a PHP array for further processing
foreach ($resultEvent as $eventDetail)
{
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventBody'] = html_entity_decode($eventDetail['eventBody']);
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventForm'] = $eventDetail['eventFrom'];
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventDate'] = date("d.m.Y H:i",
$eventDetail['eventTime']);
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventSubject'] = $eventDetail['eventSubject'];
}
Having that 2-dimensional array "eventInfo" I build the list
echo '<div class="event-panel">';
echo '<ul id="event-column" style="list-style: none;">';
foreach($eventInfo AS $eventKey => $eventDetail)
{
echo '<eventlink data-id="'.$eventKey.'">'.$eventKey.'</eventlink><br>';
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '</div>';
Last but not least I create a DIV to store the desired eventBody-Information:
echo <<<EOT
<div id="info-div">
<div id="info"></div>
</div>
EOT;
To populate now the DIV when a link is clicked I tried this:
$(document).ready(function (){
var passedArray = <?php echo json_encode($eventInfo); ?>;
$('#event-column eventlink').click(function (){
var p = $(this).attr('data-id');
$('#info').html().passedArray[p];
});
});
I wanted to pass the php-Array with JSON to make it available inside the function.
With the click-effect I wanted to load from this php-array the related array-element ['eventBody'] with the UUID given by the link-click.
Somehow I am stuck. I am able to pass the UUDI key to the javascript area and can write it into the DIV but I cannot identify a php-element by the given UUID and put the content into the DIV.
Any hint is appreciated, thank you.
As requested here is the code in total:
<?php
// Including jQuery
echo '<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js">/script>';
// Querying the Neo4J DB
$queryEventString = 'Match (e:Event) WHERE e.eventStatus = "not_processed"
RETURN e.UUID as eventUUID,
e.eventFrom as eventFrom,
e.eventType as eventType,
e.eventTime as eventTime,
e.eventSubject as eventSubject,
e.eventBody as eventBody';
$resultEvent = $client->run($queryEventString);
// Parsing result and build the 2-dimensional array $eventInfo
foreach ($resultEvent as $eventDetail)
{
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventBody'] = html_entity_decode($eventDetail['eventBody']);
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventForm'] = $eventDetail['eventFrom'];
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventDate'] = date("d.m.Y H:i", $eventDetail['eventTime']);
$eventInfo[$eventDetail['eventUUID']]['eventSubject'] = $eventDetail['eventSubject'];
}
// Displaying list of events with UUID as forwarded parameter (-> JS)
echo '<div class="event-panel">';
echo '<ul id="event-column" style="list-style: none;">';
foreach($eventInfo AS $eventKey => $eventDetail)
{
echo '<eventlink data-id="'.$eventKey.'">'.$eventKey.'</eventlink><br>';
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '</div>';
// Creating a DIV Container to hold $eventInfo[eventUUID][eventBody]
echo <<<EOT
<div id="info-div">
<div id="info"></div>
</div>
EOT;
// JavaScript Part
echo <<<EOT
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
var passedArray = <?php echo json_encode($eventInfo); ?>;
console.log(passedArray);
$('#event-column eventlink').click(function (){
var p = $(this).attr('data-id');
$('#info').html().passedArray[p];
});
});
</script>
EOT;
?>
2nd EDIT:
I have stripped down everything to this functioncode, which is at the end of the php-file and no longer wrapped in the php-tags. So its like standard html. This way I avoid the uncaught syntax error.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function (){
var passedArray = '<?php echo json_encode(array($test_array)); ?>';
console.log(passedArray);
$('#event-column eventlink').click(function (){
var p = $(this).attr('data-id');
console.log(p);
console.log(passedArray[p]['eventBody']);
$('#info').text(passedArray[p]);
});
});
</script>
Outcome:
I can console.log the array, which shows as a test:
[[{"UUID":"60762d3eb9949596701a2dfb700cd2c9","eventBody":"Hallo"},{"UUID":"620c16ced5097bf60f718abca7d979f8","eventBody":"Ciao"}]]
I see also that when I click a link that the UUID key is passed to the Javascript-Script:
60762d3eb9949596701a2dfb700cd2c9
But when I want to assign the related eventBody-element I receive this error:
Uncaught TypeError: passedArray[p] is undefined
As I have the array and the key I assume it must be a syntax error in this line:
console.log(passedArray[p]['eventBody']);
So two questions left:
How would I access one element of the given array?
How can I then populate the DIV with the element ['UUID']['eventBody']? Not sure if this is the way to go: $('#info').html().passedArray[p];
Resolution (with Uwe's help):
function findme(p) {
var passedArray = '<?php echo json_encode($test_array); ?>';
passedArray = JSON.parse(passedArray);
// here we search that object in your array which has the key value pair of
// UUID : p
var result = passedArray.find((obj) => {
return obj.UUID === p;
});
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = result.eventBody;
}
thanks to your support here (Kudos to Uwe) here is the solution:
As we use jQuery we need to include this in the head:
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>';
The Javascript-Function (written in HTML, not in PHP tags):
function findme(p) {
var passedArray = '<?php echo json_encode($eventInfo); ?>';
passedArray = JSON.parse(passedArray);
// here we search that object in your array which has the key value pair of
// UUID : p
var result = passedArray.find((obj) => {
return obj.UUID === p;
});
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = result.eventBody;
}
I was not able to find a way to write the whole code within PHP tags, as the double echo (Start and inside the array handover) and the additional PHP?-tags always generates syntax errors - thus the JS function is written as HTML-code outside the PHP code.
In the PHP the UUID of the array is passed onClick to the JS function - looks like
echo ' Find the element by UUID Brackets -- '.$UUID.'';
Please pay attention to the escaped quotation marks - important to avoid an error in JS that allows no identifiers starting with a number.
The DIV is marked by
echo '<p id="result"></p>';
For testing I made an array like this:
$eventInfo= array();
$eventInfo[] = array('UUID' => '60762d3', 'eventBody' => 'Text 1');
$eventInfo[] = array('UUID' => '620c16c', 'eventBody' => 'Text 2');
$eventInfo[] = array('UUID' => '6076299', 'eventBody' => 'Text 3');
$eventInfo[] = array('UUID' => '620c16c', 'eventBody' => 'Text 4');

How can I call a function when page loads with jQuery?

I want to trigger a JavaScript function after the page loads all the elements and I have to echo some HTTP request data into the page somewhere and use JavaScript to get the information from the DOM.
Therefore, I create the function and fire it on page load using jQuery but it didn't call the javascript (I think the DOM hasn't loaded) so how can I fix this?
<script>
$( document ).ready(function(){
myFunction(); // firing the function
});
</script>
<script>
function myFunction(){
var target = document.getElementById("target");
var formscount = target.textContent(); // the number of items from [#target]
alert(target);
if (formscount > 0) {
active="";
for (i=0; i < formscount; i++) {
var str='active'
if (i > 0){
str = ''
}
$('#DOM').append($('SOME HTML ELEMENTS');
event.preventDefault()
}
}
}
</script>
DOM Called (target) for passing the data ($_POST['itemscount']):
<?
$count = $_POST['itemscount'];
?>
<div id="target" style="display:none;">
<? $output = $_POST['productscount']; // or $Count //
echo htmlspecialchars($output);
?>
</div>
First, textContent is not a function.
So it should be written like this:
var formscount = target.textContent;
Second thing, you are missing the closing bracket ) in line $('#DOM').append($('SOME HTML ELEMENTS');
$('#DOM').append($('SOME HTML ELEMENTS'));
Third thing, event.preventDefault() will not work, as event is undefined. You may remove it.
and lastly, php tags begins with <?php and not with only <?.
<?php
$count = $_POST['itemscount'];
?>
<div id="target" style="display:none;">
<?php
$output = $_POST['productscount']; // or $Count //
echo htmlspecialchars($output);
?>
</div>

Change of div in the same page without refresh

In one of my pages, I have an <a> tag. When I click it, I am passing the variable as a GET parameter and retrieving it in the same page and displaying the details.
The code to get the parameters:
if(isset($_GET['CatId']))
{
$CatId= $_GET['CatId'];
}
else $CatId=0;
if(isset($_GET['MainProductId']))
{
$MainProductId= $_GET['MainProductId'];
$FilterAllProductQuery ="WHERE Product.MainProductId = '$MainProductId'";
$FilterProductQuery = "AND Product.MainProductId = '$MainProductId'";
}
else
{
$MainProductId=0;
$FilterAllProductQuery="";
$FilterProductQuery="";
}
The <a> tag:
<a href='Products.php?CatId=<?php echo $CatId;?>&MainProductId=<?php echo $id;?>' ><?php echo $row["MainProdName"] ?></a>
The details to be displayed:
if($CatId == 0)
{$sql = "SELECT *,Product.Id AS ProdId, Product.Name as ProdName FROM Product $FilterAllProductQuery ";}
else
{$sql = "SELECT * ,Product.Id AS ProdId, Product.Name as ProdName FROM Product INNER JOIN MainProduct ON MainProduct.Id = Product.MainProductId
INNER JOIN Category ON Category.Id = MainProduct.CategoryId WHERE Category.Id = '$CatId' $FilterProductQuery ";}
$result1 = $dbcon->query($sql);
if ($result1->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $result1->fetch_assoc()) {
$id = $row["ProdId"];
// $image=$row["ImagePath1"];
$qty = $row["Quantity"];
?>
<li class="col-lg-4">
<div class="product-box">
<span class="sale_tag"></span>
<div class="row">
<img src='themes/images/<?php echo $row["ImagePath1"]; ?>' height='200' width='250'> </a></div></div></li>
Now the code is working fine, but what's happening is that when I click the <a> tag, as I am passing the get parameters, the page is refreshing. As all the code are on the same page, I don't want the page to be refreshed. For that, I need to use Ajax request. How can I do that?
I would make an onclick() event on the a tag like so:
<?php echo '<a c_id="'.$CatId.'" MainProductId="'.$id.'" onclick="sendProduct()">'.$row["MainProdName"].'</a>';
Afterwards i would in a .js file write a simple function called sendProduct() and inside i would do an ajax request to a page named ex: insertproduct.php, get the information back and Insertproduct.php would process the data and you could use .html() or .append() to assign the data to the div showing the data with a normal id.
The c_id, MainProductId are custom attributes you could recieve in the .js file as $("#youraTag").attr("c_id");
There's a really good guide here on basic ajax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XBeGcczFJo&list=PLQj6bHfDUS-b5EXUbHVQ21N_2Vli39w0k&index=3&t=1023s
First you have to remove the href of the link and give it an id.
<a id='link'>
<?php echo $row["MainProdName"] ?>
</a>
Then you put this jQuery into your page. Note, you need to have a div in which you are going to put in all your obtained results. I reffered to this div in the code as #mydiv.
$("#link").click(function(){
$("#mydiv").load("Products.php?CatId=<?php echo $CatId;?>&MainProductId=<?php echo $id;?>");
});

Can I have a php if statement inside a jquery script in Drupal 7?

I have a jquery script that loads on document ready and I want to display a hidden popup if a user has already clicked a button (button field). But the condition I check is with php code.
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
if (<?php $user_fields->field_button['und'][0]['value'] = 1 ?>) {
var popup = document.getElementById("testpopup1").style.visibility = "visible";
alert("x");
}
});
</script>
But this way doesn't work. Is there a way to put the php code inside the if statement of my jquery code or I have to try something else?
You don't need Javascript to do an if and all.
In your HTML
<?php if ($user_fields->field_button['und'][0]['value'] === 1) { ?>
<div id="testpopup1">Your content</div>
<script>alert('x');</script>
<?php } ?>
Save the value of the PHP value in a Javascript variable.
$(document).ready(function() {
var undValue = <?= $user_fields->field_button['und'][0]['value'] ?>;
if (undValue === 1) {
document.getElementById('testpopup1').style.visiblity = 'visible';
alert('x');
}
});

Echoed Javascript Code from PHP Via AJAX Not Running

My code is meant to get the author of an inputted book using the Google Books API via AJAX. If nothing is inputted it prints "Empty". What it actually does is print out the Javascript code when a book is inputted. When nothing is inputted, it prints "Empty" as it should. How could I modify my code to make the echoed Javascript execute and hence get the author of an inputted book?
Just to see, I replaced the echo part with echo "<script>document.getElementById('txtBox').innerHTML = 'Hello';</script>";. It also prints out the javascript code, so I don't think it has something to do with using the API.

Echoing javascript from PHP
Google Books API:

https://developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/using
<script> elements are only run when your page is first loaded. Script elements created later on, either by assigning to an element's .innerHTML, creating them using document.createElement(), or otherwise, are not executed.
If you want to have a PHP script send back code to be evaluated, you'll have to do that directly, e.g:
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function() {
eval(httpRequest.responseText);
};
(And remove the <script> tags from the response.)
Try setting header in jEcho.php file (not tested)
header('Content-Type: application/javascript');
I'm not allowed to comment so:
I'm not certain what has caused it for but could <script src='$scriptSource'></script>"; be called before the handleResponse function. I'm not too sure what is causing it, at the moment, that is my best idea.
Also could you not just have the url already in the code like this: (jEcho.php)
<?php
$input = $_POST["inputText"];
if ($input == "") {
echo "Empty";
} else {
// used to parse
// e.g. The Rosie Project -> The+Rosie+Project
$temp = str_replace(" ", "+", $input);
// create appropiate source
//$scriptSource = "https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=$temp&callback=handleResponse";
echo "
<script src='https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=$temp&callback=handleResponse'></script>
<script>
function handleResponse(response) {
var item = response.items[0];
document.getElementById('txtBox').innerHTML = item.volumeInfo.authors[0];
}
</script>";
}
?>
