I have managed to implement jquery.cookie in another project with fancyapp with no problems; e.g. tested modal fires once, and to make it fire again I just delete the cookie and it will propagate again (see below).
UPDATE
Here is the example where it works;
If you go to this page: http://avonexampleone.antonio-p-ortiz.com/prior.html click the banner, the modal will fire in the subsequent page and honor the expiration i.e. j.cookie('visited', 'yes', {expires: 1}); wont fire again till a day, And if you clear your cookies and test again the modal will fire. All as expected.
However, I have the same code in another project (jekyll blog), and it appears to work once in a while when tested.
Could there be some weird privacy concern or some setting in jekyll which would prevent this?
Any help would be appreciated!
HTML:
<a id="clickbanner" href="/assets/images/beauty_for_a_purpose/Beauty_for_a_Purpose_Sheri_Card_EN.jpg" rel="gallery"></
JS:
var j = jQuery.noConflict();
j(document).ready(function() {
function openFancybox() {
setTimeout(function() {
j("#clickbanner").trigger('click');
}, 500);
};
var visited = j.cookie('visited');
if (visited == 'yes') {
return false;
} else {
openFancybox();
};
j.cookie('visited', 'yes', {
expires: 1
});
j("#clickbanner").click(function() {
j.fancybox({
href: this.href,
type: "image",
maxWidth: 750,
maxHeight: 502
});
return false;
});
});
It turns out the problem derived from the script tag path not being properly configured. As you can see in the image below, the pages are nested in folders and would need to be marked accordingly to get to the scripts.
So <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../assets/javascript/ya_jquery.fancybox.ready.function.js"></script> as an example did the trick!
Strange thing was, I wasn't getting an error in the console saying I was missing the scripts.

I have created a webpage that uses jQuery to show and hide elements. The obvious problem now arose; the back and forward browser buttons don't work anymore as everything is loaded within a single location.
I know the answer lies within jQuery History but after busting my head for several hours on their website and examples given here on stackoverflow, I still cant manage to:
A) create a history entry (I think i got this covered but not 100% sure)
B) animate the page transition with my own function (displayed beneath)
This is the website: www.grommit.nl
There are 4 sub-pages that require a history entry when called upon.
This code shows the transition of the "wordpress page". The other pages work in a similiar way. (so far I have only managed to generalize the last part of the pageload with the "LoadPageContent" function, the bit before that is different with every page)
var LoadPageContent = function() {
$(".sceneBody").slideDown(function() {
$(".aftertitle").css('width', '4em');
$(".mediacontainer").fadeTo('0.3s', 1,)
});
$("#goWordpress").click(function () {
$("#homeScene").fadeOut(function () {
$("#wordpressMessage").fadeIn(function() {
$(this).delay(300).slideUp(function() {
$("#wordpressPage, #grommitFixed").slideDown(function() {
LoadPageContent();
});
});
});
});
});
this is the function that is currently working as a previous button within the DOM. I would like this function to execute when the previous button is clicked.
var goBack = function() {
$(".aftertitle").css('width', '0em')
$(".mediacontainer").fadeTo('0.3s', 0, function() {
$(".scenebody, #grommitFixed").slideUp(function() {
$("*[id*=Page]:visible").each(function() {
$(this).slideUp(function() {
$("#homeScene").fadeIn();
});
});
});
});
};
In html5 you have something called pushstate, that you can use to tell the browser what to go back to. Check out:
html pushstate
I am developing an online testing app and it is required that during the test, users cannot be allowed to refresh page neither go back until the test is ended. I have successfully been able to disable refresh action in jquery through all means possible (to the best of my knowledge) using the following code:
$(window).bind({
beforeunload: function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
},
unload: function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
}
});
But I have been having troubles disabling the back action on all browsers, the best solution I got on SO conflicts with the code I have above, it is given below:
window.onload = function () {
if (typeof history.pushState === "function") {
history.pushState("jibberish", null, null);
//alert("Reloaded");
window.onpopstate = function () {
history.pushState('newjibberish', null, null);
// Handle the back (or forward) buttons here
// Will NOT handle refresh, use onbeforeunload forthis.
};
}
else {
var ignoreHashChange = true;
window.onhashchange = function () {
if (!ignoreHashChange) {
ignoreHashChange = true;
window.location.hash = Math.random();
// Detect and redirect change here
// Works in older FF and IE9
// * it does mess with your hash symbol (anchor?) pound sign
// delimiter on the end of the URL
}
else {
ignoreHashChange = false;
}
};
}
}
The solution above suits my purpose in disabling the back button but conflicts with the page refresh prevention handler above.
I am out of ideas on what to do and I have also searched a long time for a solution to this but found none yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it takes a totally different approach to solving the problem, I wouldn't mind at all.
Thanks everyone
UPDATE
I never realized that doing things this way breaks a lot of ethical rules, anyway, I've thought about it and figured out something else to do when if the page is refreshed or back button pressed (either using keyboard or the browser controls). I want to redirect to a url which will end the current exam session. I believe that's possible, hence I think the solution I seek is to get the best way to achieve this. Redirecting to another url if back button or refresh button is pressed (both using the browser controls and the keyboard).
I have tried many options but none worked except this-
//Diable Browser back in all Browsers
if (history.pushState != undefined) {
history.pushState(null, null, location.href);
}
history.back();
history.forward();
window.onpopstate = function () {
history.go(1);
};
With regards to the update I posted in my question, I have been able to solve my problem. Here's what I did (just modifying my existing code a little and removing the window.onload listener I had initially):
$(window).bind({
beforeunload: function(ev) {
window.location.replace("my_url_goes_in_here");
},
unload: function(ev) {
window.location.replace("my_url_goes_in_here");
}
});
This construct works for both page refresh and back actions done in anyway (either using keyboard or browser controls for the any of them).
However, I've not yet tested in any other browser other than firefox 47.0, but I'm glad it's working for now all the same.
Thanks for all your comments, they were extremely helpful
Using javascript if you have two pages page1 and page2 and (page1 redirect to page2) and you want to restrict the user from getting back to page1, just put this code at page1.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
function disableBack() {
window.history.forward()
}
window.onload = disableBack();
window.onpageshow = function (evt) {
if (evt.persisted)
disableBack()
}
});
</script>
I have a preloader on a landing page I've created (normally against this type of thing buy hay-ho). The preloader works fine, it displays, animates for a second then fades out displaying the website.
What I'd like to achieve is to show this only once, when the user first visits the page and then never again until they clear their cache or at least for a lengthly timescale. To do this I'm trying to use jquery-cookie (https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie) - but I just can't get it to work, it still displays every time I refresh the page. The mark-up/script I'm using is below...
HTML:
<div id="preloader">
<span></span>
</div>
Original JS (displays everytime page is visited):
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(window).load(function(){
$('#preloader').delay(1200).fadeOut(800,function(){$(this).remove();});
});
});
New JS (not working) attempting to use a cookie:
$(document).ready(function($) {
if ($.cookie('noPreloader')) $('#preloader').hide();
else {
$(window).load(function(){
$('#preloader').delay(1200).fadeOut(800,function(){$(this).remove();});
});
}
});
I'd greatly appreciate if someone would shed some light on this as I'm a bit stuck!
Thanks in advance!
I fail to see where you create a cookie for your check. It suppose to be something like this:
if (!$.cookie('noPreloader')) {
// show your preloader
...
// and now we create 1 year cookie
$.cookie('noPreloader', true, {path: '/', expire: 365});
}
Please note - in my example your block suppose to be hidden on load. You show it afterwards(since you want to show it only 1st time).
Thanks a lot for the help UtherTG! Here is my final script for anyone else who is trying to achieve something similar...
$(document).ready(function($) {
if ($.cookie('noPreloader'))
{
$('#preloader').hide();
}
else
{
$(window).load(function() {
$('#preloader').delay(1200).fadeOut(800,function() {
$(this).remove();
});
});
// and now we create 1 year cookie
$.cookie('noPreloader', true, {path: '/', expire: 365});
}
});
I'm using classed links to change FlowPlayer content. Here is a working version: http://jsfiddle.net/r9fAj/
In my actual page using the same code the first link clicked works fine. The second one does not fire the click function at all. Even if I comment out everything but the console.log()...
$('.playerLink').click( function() {
audioPlayer.unload();
initAudioPlayer();
$('#player').css('display', 'block');
$('#player').animate({"height":"50px"}, 1000);
var newClip = {'url':$(this).attr('ajax-data'),'autoplay':true};
audioPlayer.play(newClip);
console.log('playing ' + $(this).attr('ajax-data'));
});
HTML like so
Listen
Listen
<a id="flowplayer" href="/audio/episodes/09_27_2013_Happy_Hour_88509726.mp3"></a>
And the player initialized like so:
var audioPlayer;
var initAudioPlayer = function () {
$f("flowplayer", "/player/flowplayer-3.2.16.swf", {
plugins: {
controls: {
fullscreen: false,
autoHide: false,
}
},
clip: {
autoPlay: false,
url: "",
}
});
audioPlayer = $f();
};
initAudioPlayer();
Since the jsFiddle works over and over I assume something else in my page is preventing the second click() from working but the console has no errors for me.
So my question is, short of posting the whole site's code how do I pursue debugging this?
So it sounds like your .click() event handler is only being fired for the first link you click and not for additional clicks. For general debugging, you could take your page that is not working and gradually comment out / remove other part of the JS and HTML until you are able to make it work correctly. Or start with the minimal amount that is working (the fiddle) and gradually add in the rest to see when it stops working.
So this is the first site I have done where content is delivered via AJAX and internal links are caught by
$("a:not([href^='http://'])").click( function(e) {
var url = $(this).attr("href");
var title = ($(this).attr("title")) ? ': ' + $(this).attr("title") : '';
e.preventDefault();
if(url!=window.location){
window.history.pushState({path:url},title,url);
$('#contentMain').load(url);
document.title = "It's New Orleans" + title;
}
});
For some reason it does work once to click a link with the class but the second time gets preventDefault()ed.

The fix was adding [href^='#'] to not() e.g.
$("a:not([href^='http://'],[href^='#'])").click( function(e) {
This answer has been taken from this post:
Fancybox problem on iPhone
This was voted as best answer but I am new and still learning at js and I am having such a difficult time putting this all together, can someone help me with some more detailed instructions?
Fancybox attempts to auto resize and center itself everytime that the
browser window is resized, and this event gets triggered a lot on
iPads and iPhones. For fancy box 1.3.4, the code which controls this
is line 608: $(window).bind("resize.fb", $fancybox.resize);
To fix the issue, I modified this part of the fancybox JS, and added
another option called "resizeOnWindowResize", which you can set to
false for iPad and iPhone users, or just disable all together.
if(currentOpts.resizeOnWindowResize) { $(window).bind("resize.fb",
$fancybox.resize); } You must also add a default value for this
option in $.fn.fancybox.defaults hash map.
Then, when calling fancybox you can utilize this new option:
$('#fancybox_link').fancybox(${'scrolling': 'no',
width: 'auto',
height: 'auto',
centerOnScroll: false,
resizeOnWindowResize : false});
I got as far as go to line 608. I really do not know what to do next. What should the final product look like after you've added "resizeonwindowResize" and the if statement?
Add this:
if(currentOpts.resizeOnWindowResize) {
$(window).bind("resize.fb", $.fancybox.resize);
}
Where you find:
$(window).bind("resize.fb", $.fancybox.resize);
Near the bottom of:
$.fn.fancybox.defaults = { //blah blah blah options here.
onComplete : function(){},
onCleanup : function(){},
onClosed : function(){},
onError : function(){},
// Add this
resizeOnWindowResize: true
};
Then save and when you call the fancybox:
$('.photo_gallery a').fancybox({
resizeOnWindowResize: false
});
This is also an alternative. Just replace the $.fancybox.resize function to as follows. It's just adding a simple userAgent check to avoid the .center call for iPhones.
$.fancybox.resize = function() {
if (overlay.is(':visible')) {
overlay.css('height', $(document).height());
}
if(!(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) && !(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) {
$.fancybox.center(true);
}
};
