Loading HTML in <div> before .ready - javascript

At first I'm using JQuery Mobile. I have already investigated about loading HTML inside a div but I having some problems.
The main idea is that I have 3 differents menus (which are lists) and each one stored in a HTML file generated by the server. /Menu1.html, /Menu2.html, /Menu3.html. It has to be this way because menus could change dynamically.
So, the menus looks like this:
<ul>
<il><a href="whatever1> Option1 </a></li>
<ul>
<il><a href="whatever1> Option1.1 </a></li>
</ul>
<il><a href="whatever2> Option2 </a></li>
</ul>
I'm doing it this way:
<div id="menuview">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#menuview").load("data/menu1.html");
</script>
And it is loading the list, right, but without css. So What I'm seeing is just the list and not a JQM linked list view like the demo here: http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.0/listview/
If I copy the menu1.html inside the div manually it works perfectly.
I'm not just asking for a solution, maybe is there any better way to do this and I don't know it.
Thanks in advance!

When adding any items dynamically, you need to initialize them manually.
Inside each menu you have, add initialization function.
<ul>
<!-- elements -->
<script>
$(function () {
$("ul").listview();
});
</script>
</ul>
Note that nested listview is removed from jQM 1.4.
To create a nested listview, check this official demo.

HTML + jquery - menu to change contents in the content DIV

I've been digging around on how to do it, but didn't find any solution which would fulfill my needs.
Got a basic layout of my page with menu on the left, separate div for header and a div in the middle where all the content should be displayed when one of the menu buttons is selected.
I'd like to change the content only of the "content" div dynamically without reloading the page when one of the menu buttons is pressed.
I've managed to do it as per below with jquery:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#nav ul li a').click(function(){
$('#main').load('contents.html #' + $(this).attr('href'));
return false;
});
});
The menu :
<nav id="nav">
<ul class="menu">
<li class="menu1"></li>
<li class="menu2"></li>
<li class="menu3"></li>
<li class="menu4"></li>
<li class="menu5"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
contents.html file sample:
<div id="menu1">
<h2>Menu1</h2>
<p>Menu1 page contents</p>
</div>
So when menu1 button is pressed I'm able to change the content of main div to reflect the relevant data - this works.
My questions are:
1) is this the correct way on how to do it ? If not what would you recommend ?
2)I want to display more advanced stuff not only text (e.g What if I want to have another jquery in the div-id="menu1" ? I've tried it and it didn't work.)
P.S - I'm just a beginner so maybe I've missed something basic - but couldn't fix it by myself.
Thanks in advance!

I think there are a number of ways to achieve what you want. It depends on the nature of the content you want to load.
If there isn't masses of it, you could load it all onto the page on page load within different div's and then just show and hide the relevant div when clicking the menu items. (have a look at twitter bootstrap for some implementations, things like tabbed browsing).
If you do just have text, you could use ajax to load in the data from an external file w3schools.com.
Alternatively as mentioned in a comment above, you could create a single page application using something like angular.js, knockout.js etc.
Hope that helps.

How to run javascript code on menu click

I'm creating a squarespace website in which I have a navigation bar.
I would like to add a javascript code as a link in the navigation bar.
The javascript code is the following:
<div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini"); </script>
</div>
I have the following html code: (I got it with FireBug)
<nav id="main-navigation">
<ul class="cf">
<li class=" active-link">
page1
</li>
<li class="">
page2
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I cannot edit the code above but I'm able to inject header code.
So, how can I add the javascript code as a third link in the navigation bar?
Thanks a lot!
edit
So I've added the following code
<script>
window.onload=function(){
$('nav ul').append('<li><a onClick="test()" href="javascript:void(0);">Link 3</a></li>');
}
</script>
but I need the original javascript code within the append. I need the actual code to be the link. How do I do that? If you see the javascript in Firefox you'll understand what I mean. I need the actual link it generates in the navigation bar.
Thanks!
window.onload=function(){
$('nav ul').append('<li><a onClick="yourFunction()" href="javascript:void(0);">Link 3</a></li>');
}
Since you specify you don't have direct access to the html. Only the header.
This will add your menu item with a link, that upon click, executes the function yourFunction(). It will add this item as soon as the page loads.
Note: You need jQuery for the above. But it is also possible with raw Js.

how to add this class using .append()

I have the following html code:
<nav id="main-navigation">
<ul class="cf">
<li class=" active-link">
Home
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I need to add the following code before the </ul> tag:
<li class="">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini"); </script>
</li>
However, to do so, I have to use jquery's append(). But I don't know the correct way to add the script type="text/javascript", src="https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118"></script> and <script type="text/javascript">xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini"); </script> inside the append().
Thanks!
EDIT 1:
So you can see what I'm trying to do:
what I need is the following http://jsfiddle.net/u3NKD/5/ The results are two links. However, the second link (the one which says "sacola de compras), must be done with append(), not html. That's what I'm trying to do
EDIT 2:
I tried the code in this Jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u3NKD/7/ and it works perfectly in Jsfiddle, but it does not work in my Squarespace website.
The code in my website is the following:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-backstretch/2.0.4/jquery.backstretch.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.onload=function(){
$('nav ul').append('<li id="hello"></li>');
$.getScript("https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118", function(){
xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini","id=hello");
});
}
</script>
Any idea why it doesn't work in squarespace?
Thanks!
Have you tried using something like
$.getScript("https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118", function(){
xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini");
});
to load the script and then activate the xMinicart object afterwards? I can't really understand why you're trying to do this on the fly without more context so that's the best suggestion I can offer.
https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getScript/ (Load a JavaScript file from the server using a GET HTTP request, then execute it.)
If you really need to place it into that particular spot, then Try this: create a separate html file in the same directory, call it something like myli.html,
then you place this into it:
<ul id="myli">
<li class="">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini"); </script>
</li>
</ul>
Then in your original page where you want this appended you do this, you have to create a dummy container like this
$('<div/>', {id:'dummycont', css: {display: 'none'}}).appendTo('body');
then
$('#dummycont').load('myli.html #myli, function(){
var li = $(this).find('#myli').html();
$('nav ul').prepend(li);
});
So basically this load event will load that particular #myli in the myli.html into a temp dummy container. Then you grab grab that content and prepend it to the target ul.
Let me know if that works for you. I havent tested it yet.
What you are doing is that you are just appending the script as a Text or innerText in the HTML DOM structure.
Call the Js using the getScript or Ajax call. (Ajax call with return type script is a getScript)
And in its return function Call the xMinicart function.
In you Dom just Append a 'li' with a specific id and in the getScript success function pass the id to xMinicart function/
<nav id="main-navigation">
<ul class="cf">
<li class=" active-link">
Home
</li>
<li id="hello"></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Your Js call should be
$.getScript("https://app.ecwid.com/script.js?4549118", function(){
xMinicart("style=","layout=Mini","id=hello");
});
This will load the cart on the page.

How to make links between external pages in the main page dynamically using jQuery?

I have 3 external pages (inicio.php, perfil.php and produtos.php). And I would like them to appear dynamically and respective in #contaMenuEsq as I click in the "li".
I would like to use jQuery because my intention is to use fadeIn and fadeOut effects when navigating between these 3 links.
index.php
<div id="contaMenuDir">
<div id="contaMenuOpcoes">
<ul>
<li id='inicio'>Inicio</li>
<li id='perfil'>Perfil</li>
<li id='produtos'>Produtos</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="contaMenuEsq"></div>
Thank for your help in advance.
Have you checked out jQuery .load() and fadeIn?
$('#contaMenuDir').on('click','li',function(){
var text = this.attr('id');
$('#contaMenuEsq').load(text+'.php',function(){
//run fade here
});
});
I suggest you read about get() instead. It gives you more control over the actions after dynamically loading the content.

How to show the description of the elements that are listed on the sidebar on the body using show & hide javascript or JQuery?

I have 11 elements with long description of each element of them. I decided to display the elements on the sidebar and the description of each one of them will be displayed on the body directly when the user clicks on the element.
I came with a solution similar to this ONE
but the problem with this one is put the content (or description) inside the javascript code, and I want the description be on the HTML code to make it later on flexible for changes by the admin after putting the data including the description of these elements on the database instead of hard-coded style.
Therefore, how can I do that?
You can try this way
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li id="a">item a
<div id="contentA" style="display:none">Description of item A</div>
</li>
<li id="b">item b
<div id="contentB" style="display:none">Description of item A</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content"></div>
<script type="text/javascrip">
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#a').click(function() {
$('#content').html($('#contentA').html());
});
$('#b').click(function() {
$('#content').html($('#contentB').html());
});
});
<script>
I updated your example, it now uses hidden divs inside the clickable menu items, and on li click it finds the menu description and displays it.
This method does not depend on ids and degrades more gracefully (except if the client doesn't support JS but supports CSS display).
Your description is a bit unprecise, but if I get it right your could use IDs for the description text and fade them in/out with jQuery.
