Get URL link name in javascript? - javascript

Hi i'm trying to get my tabs works by using javascript but face some problem in changing the div that contains the content.
these are my tabs, there are more but i will show 2 for example
<li id="sub1" class="moduleTabs">Practice
<ul class="collapse">
<li class="unselected">Principle</li>
<li class="unselected">Basics</li>
</ul>
</li>
Here is my div that contains the content
<div id="pro1" class="information">
<h2>Principles</h2>
<p></p>
</div>
<div id="pro2" class="information">
<h2>Basics</h2>
<p></p>
</div>
Here is my javascript code
$('#t1, #t2, #t3, #t4, #t5, #t6, #t7, #t8, #t9, #t10, #t11, #t12, #t13, #t14').parent('li').click(function () {
$(this).addClass('clicked');
$(this).siblings().removeClass('clicked');
//this part is to remove the content in homepage
$('#content').hide();
//i'm trying to get the url name #pro1 if link #t1 is click so that the div will fade in
$(this).find('a').attr('href').fadeIn();
$(this).siblings().find('a').attr('href').hide();
})/
The problem now i'm facing is $(this).find('a').attr('href').fadeIn() don't work.
i can't get the url link (#pro1) from the tabs that is selected.

The thing is that $(this).find('a').attr('href') returns you a string like "#pro1", "#pro2"... and not a jQuery object directly. You have to give this string to the jQuery function to get the corresponding element.
Change this :
$(this).find('a').attr('href').fadeIn();
To
$($(this).find('a').attr('href')).fadeIn();

Side menu with links to parts in Iframes

I've created a webpage that has the following structure:
Main html that uses a side menu;
Secondary html that has the information that I want to show in the main html.
I want to achieve the following. Let's say that the secondary html has a section named intro. I want to link that section to a menu item. So when I press the corresponding button, I want to show in my main html the secondary html starting at the #intro section.
This is my sidebar nav in the main html
<div id="main">
<div class="wrapper">
<!-- LEFT SIDEBAR NAV-->
<aside id="left-sidebar-nav">
<ul id="slide-out" class="side-nav leftside-navigation">
<li class="no-padding">
<ul class="collapsible collapsible-accordion">
<li class="bold"><a class="collapsible-header waves-effect waves-blue active"><i class="mdi-action-view-carousel"></i> Field</a>
<div class="collapsible-body">
<ul>
<li class="active">Intro
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</aside>
</div>
This is the section in the 2nd html.
<div class="divider"></div>
<div class="section" id="intro">
<li style="list-style: disc">
some text.
</li>
</div>
</div>
When I press the Intro button in the left side nav, I want to open in my main html the 2nd one at the Intro section.
The reason I want to load the 2nd html in my main one is that It uses different css styles and It ruins my formatting if I merge them.
Any solution?
Thank you!
It can be easily achieved with jQuery:
Here's my suggestion:
Step 1
First of all, make sure you have those sections in your secondary.html file:
<div id="intro">Intro section</div>
<div id="section1">Section 1</div>
<div id="section2">Section 2</div>
<div id="section3">Section 3</div>
An, in main.html, make sure you have an element with id=content. This will be your placeholder. Like this:
<div id="content"></div>
Step 2
Modify your anchors:
point href to a dummy url (#).
add a class so we can catch this with jQuery. I named here btn-load-section.
add data- attributes so we can add some useful data to each anchor, to grab it later. I added here data-url and data-section.
Like this:
<li>Intro
<li>Section 1
<li>Section 2
<li>Section 3
Step 3
At the end of our <body> section (in main.html), you can add this code:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
/*
Executes the script inside the anonymous function
only when the page is loaded
*/
$(document).ready(function() {
/*
select all anchors with 'btn-load-section' class (class = dot before)
and bind a click event
*/
$("a.btn-load-section").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); //this cancel the original event: the browser stops here
var url = $(this).data('url'); //get the data-url attribute from the anchor
var section = $(this).data('section'); //get the data-section attribute from the anchor
var contentDiv = $("#content"); //select the div with the ID=content (id = hash before). This will be our target div.
/*
executes the jQuery .load function
It will load the url and search for the correspondent section (load page fragment)
e.g. will call load with "secondary.html #intro" (#intro is our fragment on the secondary.html page).
*/
contentDiv.load(url + " #" + section);
});
});
</script>
As I don't know how familiar you're with jQuery, I added some comments.
The first script tag loads jQuery from a CDN.
You can read more about the jQuery's .load function here. But basically it allows to load page fragments:
The .load() method, unlike $.get(), allows us to specify a portion of
the remote document to be inserted. This is achieved with a special
syntax for the url parameter. If one or more space characters are
included in the string, the portion of the string following the first
space is assumed to be a jQuery selector that determines the content
to be loaded.
This is just a possible approach. Hope it helps!

show/hide div with dyamically assigned class

I am dynamically assigning the div id based on the api call back data. For example I have a bunch of data returned which is appended to a div and I can assign the div id with a unique ip address. I have full control over what I can assign i.e. DIV id or class or whatever..
I have attached an example of what the output looks like and hopefully it will clarify what i am looking for.
What I want to be able to achieve is when an endpoint link is clicked, it will show the respective div and hide all other DIV data boxes.. The endpoint links can made clickable and i can add onclick scripts to them or whatever needs to be done
Whether we use the div id or class name i am not fussed.
This should work just fine.
Assign your div with a class, in the demo i'm using EndPoint. The onclick function will use the class to find the div element and hide it. Then it will use this the element used to trigger the function, target the div within that element and show it.
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [0]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 216.12.145.20</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [1]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 172.230.105.123</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [2]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 206.204.52.31</div>
</div>
If you don't understand anything please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Edit - jQuery Append with onclick
var IPs=["216.12.145.20","172.230.105.123","206.204.52.31"];
//Foreach value in array
$.each(IPs, function(i,v) {
//Append to id:container
$('#container').append('<div class="EndPoint">End Point ['+i+']<div><b>IP Address:</b> '+v+'</div></div>');
});
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>
I hope this helps. Happy coding!
Since elements are dynamically generated it's better to do with classes IMO.
HTML
<div id="endpoint1">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 1</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint2">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 2</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint3">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 3</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
JavaScript (using JQuery)
$('.clicker').on('click', function () {
$('.hideThis').hide();
$(this).next().show();
});

If you want to hide the content initially, just add the following CSS class which hides the content initially.
.hideThis{
display: none;
}

Smarten up my jquery tabbed browsing

I've put together a very simple tabbed browser which you can see here
http://jsfiddle.net/zandergrin/sN2Eu/
I'm just wondering if there was a way to smarten up the script so that all the numbering is handled automatically - ie I can add a new tab and wouldn't need to add new javascript.
I know I can do it with jquery ui, but a) I'm trying to lkeep it super lightweight and, more importantly, b) I'm trying to learn!!
Thanks - I'm pretty basic on my javascript so any explanations would be greatly appreciated
You need to add a comman class to each tab so you can select all of them and a unique id that is also the value in the href of the links.
Also add a common class to all the links..
<div class="tab-nav">
<ul>
<li>Overview</li>
<li>Specs</li>
<li>More Info</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="tab1" class="tab">
<p>content1</p>
</div>
<div id="tab2" class="tab" style="display: none">
<p>content2</p>
</div>
<div id="tab3" class="tab" style="display: none">
<p>content3</p>
</div>
and your javascript now can be
function tabActions(e) {
// e.preventDefault(); // stop default browser action of link will not add the hash to the url
var targetId = $(this).attr('href'); // extract the value in the href (the #tab1 for example)
$('.tabclick').removeClass('active'); // remove the active class from all links (find them by their common class)
$(this).addClass('active'); // add it to the currently clicked link
$('.tab').hide(); // find all tabs (by the common class) and hide them
$(targetId).show(); // show the current tab
};
$('.tabclick')
.click(tabActions) // bind handler
.filter(function(){ // find the link that points to the hash in the url
return this.hash == window.location.hash;
})
.click(); // manually trigger click on it

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.

Change DIV based on clicked TAB

I am doing a leaderboard for a website we are working on.
Essentially, we have a div with this months winner for location A
Below we have ajax tabs, where user can click tabs which relate to locations, like :
Location A
Location B
etc etc
So by default, when page loads, tab A is open. And the div above we need to give a matching ID, because...
I want as the user clicks tab B for the div above to change, with different DIV ID. So basically we can change content in the div based on the tab the user clicks.
So the content div is like:
<div id="???"> content goes here </div>
The tabs are like:
<ul class="tabs">
<li><span class="stateTab">NSW</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">QLD</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">VIC</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">SA</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">WA</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">ACT</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">NT</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">TAS</span></li>
<li><span class="stateTab">AUSTRALIA</span></li>
</ul>
So if user clicks #tab2 then a different DIV loads into the div id="???" .
I think its fairly simple, just cannot figure it out. I realise I possibly have to set all the divs up, like so:
<div id="tab1"> content goes here </div>
<div id="tab2"> content goes here </div>
<div id="tab2"> content goes here </div>
And set visibility hidden to the divs.. any help appreciated.
*** ADDED INFO *******
The tabs, onclick ( presently ) display content from dataTables.
So obviously when we click on tab1, the content below the tabs , shows the content fetched from our dataTables, in a div with id1
The issue now is, with wanting to change the content ABOVE the tabs aswell as the content BELOW the tabs... the 2 id's are conflicting, and one shows and one hides...
The TABS also change content below them, presumably we need to chain the id actions somehow, to get two sets of content to change in harmony
Set it up the way you planned in HTML adding style="display: none" to each div except the one you want to show by default. Then add to you javascript (at the bottom, or in $(function(){ //Document ready });
$('.tabs a').click(function(){
$('div[id^=tab]').hide();
$(this.href).show();
return false;
}
);
As for your Update, you can change your divs to have a class instead of an id. Like
Content Above 1
Content Above 2
Tabs
<div class="tab1 tabContent">Content Below 1</div>
<div class="tab2 tabContent">Content Below 2</div>
Then you can change the javascript:
$('.tabs a').click(function(){
$('div.tabContent').hide();
$('div.'+this.href).show();
return false;
}
);
You'll also need to remove the hashes from your anchors, so the href becomes "tab1" instead of "#tab1"
You could use jQuery to do this: http://jsfiddle.net/YQdQm/
Not sure if this meets your requirements exactly (also, haven't yet tested on IE).
var tabs = $('div[id^=tab]');
tabs.hide();
$('#tab1').show();
$('.tabs a').click(function () {
var tab_id = $(this).attr('href');
tabs.hide();
$(tab_id).show();
});
I would suggest use existing tab control from jquery UI
however if not you will need markup like that
<div class='tabs'>
<ul>
<li data-id='tab1'>tab 1</li>
....
</ul>
<div id='tab1'></div>
<div id='tab2' class='expanded'></div>
...
</div>
and code
$('.tabs ul li').bind('click',function() {
var id = $(this).data('id');
$('.tabs div').removeClass('expanded');
$('#'+id).addClass('expanded');
});
I know this is a bit brute force, but I like to do it this way:
JS:
function hidetabs(){
$("#tab1").hide();
$("#tab2").hide();
//And so on
}
function shobwtab(id){
$("#"+id).show();
hidetabs();
}
HTML:
<li><span class="stateTab">NSW</span></li>
Of course you could also add click listeners in your docready function to run the functions instead of using onClick.
