I used a solution given by "Chrules" found in this discussion:buttons with no href, onclick etc
like this :
<button id="clickable" >Click Me!!</button>
......
$("#clickable").click(function(){
// Send user to this link
insertRecord(); //SQLite Code
location.href = "game.html";
// location.href = "http://www.takemehere.com"; });
So When i used the location.href like he putted it (= "http://www.takemehere.com";) The insertRecord() method is done with success (the object is added to the database)
But when I use the location.href = "game.html"; the game.html page is opened but the insertRecord() method is not done i tried to put the full path of game.html but the same problem persist Have you any idea please ? Thank u in advance
I think insertMethod() calls some async functions to do database updating. So you should use a callback before doing anything else.
Something like this (i don't know what is inside of insertRecord method);
function insertRecord(callback) {
// do all sorts of database job
// when it's finished
// fire your callback
callback();
}
insertRecord(function() {
location.href = "page.html";
});
EDIT: After your comment, i see you already have defined a function to run after sql which is loadAndReset(). So simply put location.href = "page.html" in that function, and it should work.

I am trying to call JavaScript function when # is present in URL. I know normal behavior is to navigate / scroll to the specific tag. But could not find how to invoke a JavaScript function.
The below example is close but not solving my problem.
What is the meaning of # in URL and how can I use that?
You might be able to leverage the hashchange event to trigger the function, assuming you don't just want to keep polling the location to see if it changes.
DOCS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/hashchange_event
This code snippet will add the listener to the current page, then manipulate the hash and fire the function, displaying the new hash value. You could call any function here.
window.addEventListener('hashchange', function() {
alert(location.hash);
});
window.location += "#test";
var hash = window.location.hash;
if(hash){
// do something
}
<script>
if (window.location.href.includes('#')) {
// run your code here
}
</script>
use a location.hash function will solve your problem
var hash = window.location.hash.replace(/#/g, '');
if(hash){
// found a hash
console.log("heyy I found a hash")'
}
else{
// did not find a hash
console.log("Uh oh")
/*
try using :
window.location = window.location + '#' + "some random variable"
to create a new URL and every time the page loads find the hash and
display the wanted data.
*/
}
PS: this only works if your URL is like example.com/#xyz
then it will give you xyz as a console output. This may sound
vague but if you do this you may get a Idea
i have this small piece of code
$("a").live("click",function(event) {
<% String lifeCare=LifeEventProperties.getInstance().getProperty("lifeCare");%>
var s="<%=lifeCare%>";
var href = $(this).attr('href');
if (href.indexOf(s) != -1) {
loadLifeCare(href) ;
event.preventDefault();
}
});
function loadLifeCare(href)
{
var wnd=window.open('/NASApp/benemain/LifeCareSite');
setTimeout(function() {
wnd.location.href = href;
}, 6000);
}
here in my jsp page i have checked for a particular word in url's using jquery and that word is like "something.com" which i am fetching from property file ,now if this something.com is found in the url which a user has clicked then i am calling a javascript function which then opens a new window with an internal site url which is taking care of user's session for that page which has this something.com and then i reload the page with "href" that user actually clicked .
the problem is its working good in all browser's other IE and my client loves IE,
IE is directly going to the link which bypassing loadLifeCare method and giving me this error on console
The value of the property 'loadLifeCare' is null or undefined, not a Function object
can any suggest something why it is happening ?is there anything in this code that IE don't understand ,i am getting a feeling that issue is with window.open() maybe but i am not sure and i don't even know any alternative if that's the case.
please help me and tell me if you need any clarification on anything..
Try this
fixed the deprecated live
used a better method to open windows (yours may very likely give access denied;
moved the function to before it is used and wrapped the click event handler in a a load handler
function loadLifeCare(href) {
var wnd=window.open('/NASApp/benemain/LifeCareSite',"lifeCareWin");
if (wnd) setTimeout(function() {
window.open(href,"lifeCareWin");
}, 6000);
}
$(function() {
$("a").on("click",function(event) {
<% String lifeCare=LifeEventProperties.getInstance().getProperty("lifeCare");%>
var s="<%=lifeCare%>";
var href = $(this).attr("href"); // this.href might be useful too
if (href.indexOf(s) != -1) {
loadLifeCare(href) ;
event.preventDefault();
}
});
});
I use Syn.js in my tests for my website but I have a problem when I use Syn.click and then try to check something that happens after the event like a title change or something it doesn't work.
It's like the onClick event doesn't end before it begins to check what happened after.
The onClick function is something I can't see so I can't put a custom event to make sure it's over so I need a different way to do this.
I need a way to make sure an event ended to continue to the next line in the code without changing the event itself.
I really need an idea because I don't have a clue how to continue.
It can be in JavaScript, jQuery, whatever ....
//syn.js ---- this is from the syn.js (from the internet)
"_click": function (options, element, callback, force) {
Syn.helpers.addOffset(options, element);
Syn.trigger("mousedown", options, element);
//timeout is b/c IE is stupid and won't call focus handlers
schedule(function () {
Syn.trigger("mouseup", options, element);
if (!Syn.support.mouseDownUpClicks || force) {
Syn.trigger("click", options, element);
callback(true);
} else {
//we still have to run the default (presumably)
Syn.create.click.setup('click', options, element);
Syn.defaults.click.call(element);
//must give time for callback
schedule(function () {
callback(true);
}, 1);
}
}, 1);
}
// eventually it calls element.dispatchEvent(event); in syn.js
and the user use my app like this (jasmin + syn + etc...)
// user code (sort off) : (doesnt work)
Syn.click({}, button);
expect(title).not.BeNull; // -------- here is the probleme the title need to be something but its not.
// user code (sort off) : (work)
Syn.click({}, button);
setTimeout(function() {
expect(title).not.BeNull;},1000); // ----------- I need to do this but not in here ( the user cant write this it looks bad----
The only thing I can change is the syn.js or something in between because I don't want the user to write stuff in his code that he doesn't need.
If the user writes after every Syn.*** a setTimeout it looks really ugly and I don't want that .
I also tried setTimeout in the syn.js but it still doesn't work.
Ok , I found an answer, I change the code my user give me so after every syn action everything will become the callback so only when its finished the checks will begin
how can I add the / char at the end of the URL without force the user to write it?
I'm starting to work with SWFAddress using JavaScript and jQuery directly (without Flash) like this wonderful site.
So something like this:
http://mysite.com/section
// and after click to a specific <a ="#">button</a> get
http://mysite.com/section/#/sub-content
// instead of
http://mysite.com/section#/sub-content
I've started with this code to do it:
$(".time_dot, .time_year").click (function () {
onClickEvent (this);
});
function onClickEvent (dom) {
var timer = setTimeout (function () {
SWFAddress.setValue($(dom).parent().attr("id"));
}, 200);
// do something else
}
The setTimeout method is used to avoid the <a> button overwrite the SWFAddress.setValue method, but I don't know a way to change the URL address to url.com/content#/... to url.com/content/#/....
How can I do that?
As already said, you cannot change the URL without forcing a reload of the site. And I don't think you want that. (but it depends on how SWFAddress.setValue() actually works, if it just keeps track of the URLs internally (without changing the browsers URL) then you can do it)
But I wanted to give you an alternative for setTimeout:
$(".time_dot, .time_year").click (function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
onClickEvent (this);
});
function onClickEvent (dom) {
SWFAddress.setValue($(dom).parent().attr("id"));
// do something else
}
With this you prevent the click event from bubbling up and also prevent the change the default action (which would be following the link).
See jQuery event object.
You can't change the "path" part of the URL without reloading the page. So, if you're at http://mysite.com/section, you can not navigate to http://mysite.com/section/#/sub-content without reloading the page.
you mean like
$(".time_dot, .time_year").click (function () {
setTimeout (function () {
SWFAddress.setValue("/"+$(this).parent().attr("id")+"/");
}, 200);
});
function fixUrl(url) {
return url.replace(/\/?$/,'/');
}
//or
function fixUrl(url) {
return url.match(/\/$/)
? url
: url + '/';
}
I am using the following plug in for cookies in jQuery:
https://code.google.com/p/cookies/
The issue i am having is not with the plugin but when and how to delete the cookie at the end of a quoting process.
The site i am using this on is a six step online quote and buy process.
There is Omniture event serialisation sitestat tracking applied to some of the pages. This event serialisation has to include the name of the event and a random number of which i create.
I have a generic function for this which i call at the bottom of the page like so:
serialEvent('event21:', 'payment');
Here is the function:
function serialEvent(eventNumber, eventName) {
var sessionID = jaaulde.utils.cookies.get('sessionID');
var remLength = 20 - eventName.length;
var remSession = sessionID.substr(sessionID.length - remLength, remLength);
var eventName = eventName + remSession;
s.events = eventNumber + eventName;
}
I need to delete the cookie at the end of the process, the Thank you page but i also need the cookie 'sessionID' for the 'serialEvent' function.
As the function is called at the bottom of the page should i just write the cookie delete after it? Is that robust enough?
I need to be sure that the function has successfully been called before the cookie is deleted.
The code for deleting the cookie is quite simple:
jaaulde.utils.cookies.del('sessionID');
Thanks :)
There's no asynchronous or timer-delayed callback functions called in serialEvent function so you can either
Put it at the end of the function before the closing bracket,
or
Put it after serialEvent('event21:', 'payment');.
Javascript executes synchronously, so you can be sure that the cookie is only deleted when you are finished with it.
you can delete the cookie at the end of the process as well as in window.onUnload event to make sure that the cookie is cleared even if you are closing the window before the process completes.
function serialEvent(eventNumber, eventName)
{
var ok = false;
try
{
var sessionID = jaaulde.utils.cookies.get('sessionID');
var remLength = 20 - eventName.length;
var remSession = sessionID.substr(sessionID.length - remLength, remLength);
var eventName = eventName + remSession;
s.events = eventNumber + eventName;
ok = true;
}
catch(e)
{
// todo: error handling (what has gone wrong?)
ok = false;
}
return ok;
}
This way you can find out if the function is called correctly. ok will only be true if the whole function is executed correctly.
