Any ideas on why the following code perfectly 'posts' when using FF (I can see the DB updated) but fails on Chrome?
$("a").click(function() {
$.post("ajax/update_count.php", {site: 'http://mysite.com'});
});
Tip: jQuery version is jquery-1.4.3.min.js
Update
The issue seems to be that when the link is clicked, a new page is loaded, which seems to be stopping the post in Chrome... Is that a possible explanation? If so, what can I do?
You need to prevent the default behavior of an <a>. Use this:
$("a").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Your code
});
or, if you actually want the link to load the new page, you could try:
$("a").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var href = this.href;
// Might want to put a "loading" spinner on the page here
$.post("whatever", {}, function () {
window.location.href = href;
});
});
Might have to change it a little - maybe use $(this).attr("href") or $(this).prop("href"), not this.href...the differences those evaluate to may or may not work with window.location.href (I'm sure both do).
I have a select menu, for which I have the following code:
$('#sister-site-menu').change(function(){
if ($(this).val()) {
window.open($(this).val(), '_blank');
}
});
This however causes the popup blocker to be invoked in Chrome. I'm sure I've seen sites do this before, any ideas?
Thanks!
You can safely remove the 'blank'-part. Try this:
$('#sister-site-menu').on('change',function(){
if ($(this).val()) {
window.open($(this).val());
}
});
If that does not work, I see no other way around this.
<div id="divbody">
<button id="begin">Click me</button>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#begin").click(function() {
var e = document.getElementById('divbody');
e.webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT);
});
document.addEventListener("webkitfullscreenchange",function(){
if (document.webkitIsFullScreen) {
//alert('a');
document.webkitCancelFullScreen();
}
}, false);
});
</script>
</div>
The following code basically should cancel full screen as soon as it enters. However, the code above does not work (e.g., it enters full screen but does not cancel back). However, by uncommenting the alert in the webkitfullscreenchange event handler, it does actually cancel.
I have hard time understanding why this is so. Also, how would I achieve what I am trying to do without using alert?
Thanks.
UPDATE
I have tried all the comments, but it does not seem to work. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Questions like this where an alert() fixes a problem is always a matter of the sequence of events. One solution that almost always works is to put the offending code in a short timing function:
window.setTimeout(cancelFull,10);
function cancelFull() { document.webkitCancelFullScreen(); }
UPDATE
Put the setTimeout() in place of your current CancelFullScreen, inside the listener.
Try this:
window.setTimeout(document.webkitCancelFullScreen, 10);
Why this code doesn't work:
$(window).resize(function() {
document.location.reload();
});
Try the following code:
$(window).bind('resize',function(){
window.location.href = window.location.href;
});
Reference:
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/anyone-know-how-to-refresh-reload-page-on-browser-resize
The resize event fires many times (depending on the browser) as you resize...there's probably a much better way to solve your problem (at least, I can't imagine that constantly reloading the page would be an optimal solution...).
For example if you're doing this to get your $(document).ready() code to run again? In that case for example you can use a named function. For example:
function myFunc() {
//do stuff
}
$(myFunc); //run on DOM ready
$(window).resize(myFunc); //run when resizing
We have a JavaScript function named "move" which does just "windows.location.href = any given anchor".
This function works on IE, Opera and Safari, but somehow is ignored in Firefox. Researching on Google doesn't produce a satisfactory answer why it doesn't work.
Does any JavaScript guru knows about this behavior, and what would be the best practice to jump to an anchor via JavaScript?
Have you tried just using
window.location = 'url';
In some browsers, window.location.href is a read-only property and is not the best way to set the location (even though technically it should allow you to). If you use the location property on its own, that should redirect for you in all browsers.
Mozilla's documentation has a pretty detailed explanation of how to use the window.location object.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.location
If you are trying to call this javascript code after an event that is followed by a callback then you must add another line to your function:
function JSNavSomewhere()
{
window.location.href = myUrl;
return false;
}
in your markup for the page, the control that calls this function on click must return this function's value
<asp:button ........ onclick="return JSNavSomewhere();" />
The false return value will cancel the callback and the redirection will now work. Why this works in IE? Well I guess they were thinking differently on the issue when they prioritized the redirection over the callback.
Hope this helps!
One observation to ensure in such a scenario
Following will work in IE, but neither in Chrome nor in Firefox (the versions I tested)
window.location.href("http://stackoverflow.com");
Following will work all the three
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
Maybe it's just a typo in your post and not in your code, but it's window and not windows
I am not sure to follow you.
I just tried: going with FF3 to Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (long and with lot of anchors).
Pasting javascript:window.location.href="#2.5"; alert(window.location.href); in the address bar, I went to the right anchor and it displayed the right URL. Works also with a full URL, of course.
Alternative code: javascript:(function () { window.location.href="#2.5"; })();
Perhaps you forgot the #. Common problem, also with image maps.
I have the same problem and I guess this is related to a click event.
I have a function that moves the browser to a specific page. I attach that function to some click events: in a button and in a image. AlsoI execute the function when the user press escape (document onkeypress event).
The results are that in all cases the function is called and executed, but only when there is a click the browser goes to the address I want.
Update
I got it working! with a
setTimeout( "location.replace('whatever.html');", 0 );
I don't know why the location.replace wasn't working when the event was a keypress, but with the settimeout it works :)
Update
Returning false after the event when you press escape makes the redirection works. If you return true or nothing the browser will not follow
You've got to add return false; after the window.location.href as mentioned above.
function thisWorks()
{
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
return false;
}
function thisDoesNotWork()
{
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
}
window.location.href works fine in all versions of Firefox, as does document.location.href I think that there is something else in your code that is breaking things.
drop this in a blank page, if it works, it indicates there is something else wrong on your page.
<script>
window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com/';
</script>
You could also use window.location.replace to jump to an anchor without register it in the browser history:
This article illustrates how to jump to an anchor and uses href as read-only property.
function navigateNext()
{
if (!window.location.hash)
{
window.location.replace(window.location.href + unescape("#2"))
}
else
{
newItem = nextItem(window.location.hash)
if (document.getElementById(newItem))
{
window.location.replace(stripHash(window.location) + "#" + newItem)
}
else
{
window.location.replace(stripHash(window.location) + "#1")
}
}
}
Have you tried this?
Response.Write("<script type='text/javaScript'> window.location = '#myAnchor'; </script>";);
please add full javascript script tag
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
window.location.hash = "#gallery";
For reference I had the same problem.
onclick = "javascript: window.location('example.html');" didn't work under FF (latest)
I just had to rewrite to onclick = "javascript: window.location = 'example.html';" to get it working
I just overcome the same problem. and the problem is not in javascript, but the href attribute on the <a> element.
my js code
function sebelum_hapus()
{
var setuju = confirm ("Anda akan menghapus data...")
if (setuju)
window.location = "index.php";
}
my previous html was
Klik here
and I update it to
Klik here
or remove the href attribute
hope this helps.
window.location.assign("link to next page") should work in both (chrome and firefox) browsers.
window.location.assign("link to next page")
Another option:
document.location.href ="..."
