Basically, I have several pages on my website where I am using PHP to include the content in the page, and using jQuery to "switch" between the content by setting the display in CSS to "none" or "block". However, I am struggling to get it to work in the main page with the menu. So I need when the user clicks on the appropriate link, the page will change to the page where the content is contained, but also apply the appropriate CSS as to display the appropriate content. So far I have (URL blocked out):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#ourMissionMenu').click(function() {
window.location = 'http://beta.***.com/aboutUs.php';
$('#rightReplace').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#ourHistory').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#meetTeam').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#communityOutreach').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#connectUs').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#blog').css({
"display":"none"
});
$('#ourMission').css({
"display":"block"
});
});
});
</script>
If you change the location of the window, all javascript from the current page will cease. You cannot expect javascript from one page to control content on another page. This would be a massive security violation.
You need the javascript to run on "aboutUs.php", or dynamically load the aboutUs content into your current page. Or, better still, have aboutUs.php have the correct css in the first place.
Can't aboutUs.php just link to a CSS file that has the correct styles? Why do they need to be set in Javascript?
It also looks like the css() calls will be applied to the current page, and not the target page.
Once you change the window.location property, the browser will redirect the user to the specified URL and the execution of JavaScript will stop immediately.
So your .css() function calls are not being run but that doesn't matter much because they would be altering the DOM on the current page, not the next page.
Those .css() function calls need to be run on the next page, something like this:
First Page --
$(function(){
$('#ourMissionMenu').click(function() {
window.location = 'http://beta.***.com/aboutUs.php';
});
});
Second Page (aboutUs.php) --
$(function(){
$('#rightReplace').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#ourHistory').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#meetTeam').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#communityOutreach').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#connectUs').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#blog').css({
display:"none"
});
$('#ourMission').css({
display:"block"
});
});
But this would be pretty strange if you are dynamically building the aboutUs.php page. You might as well leverage your use of PHP and set the display of the element with PHP instead of JavaScript (which is client-side, meaning it requires the user's browser to do work).
On top of what Paul and Sérgio mentioned, you can concoct the selectors like below rather than multiple blocks.
$('#rightReplace,#ourHistory,#meetTeam,#communityOutreach,#connectUs,#blog,#ourMission').hide();

I have a page that forces some JS to load on a page that I need to override. I can load a separate JS file to do this. I want to have the page do the .show for any of the .below-the-folds on the page. I guess the best way to say it is, I want all the "more" things on the page to be expanded when the page loads, rather than making a person click more to see what's below the fold on all these.
This is the JS I need to override, I can't change it since it's loaded by the app automatically. There can be more than one of the lists hidden, I'm not sure how much harder that makes things.
function MoreFacets($more_facets_div) {
this.$more_facets_div = $more_facets_div;
this.bind_events();
};
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
new MoreFacets($(this));
});
});
It's loaded on the page and the HTML looks like this:
<h3>Additional filters: </h3>
<dl id="facets">
<dt>Collecting Area</dt>
<dd> Here's Something in the list</dd>
<dd> Here's the last in the list</dd>
<div class="more-facets">
<span class="more btn">∨ more</span>
<div class="below-the-fold">
<dd>Something That's hidden is here</dd>
<dd>Something more in this hidden list</dd>
So when the ∨ more is clicked is when the others below-the-fold appear, and that's what I want to load when the page loads. There's usually a few different lists like this on the page.
So I'm thinking what I need to do is something like run the ('.below-the-fold').show() for all the lists when the page loads?
Update A note to clarify: when the page loads now they're all hidden. I'd like them to all show when the page is loaded so no one has to click anything to have everything showing.
Another note based on another question below... It's loaded in a separate file, and I can load my file before that one. I do know that I can override other JS on the page, so I assume I can override this as well.
Based on your last edit, it sounds like you're already onto the fastest solution to your problem.
Please note, this will only work if the script is not loaded asynchronously, but if you have control of the order the scripts are loaded in, you can insert your script between the problem script and jQuery.
Your script can be something as easy as redefining the function it's using to something like this:
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
//Autostart in our open state without completely disabling the functionality
self.$more_facets_div.find('.below-the-fold').show();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').hide();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
Now, that won't work if you don't have control over the script loading, but you might have hope even in that case, because document ready functions in jQuery are invoked in the order they're registered, so if you can't really control where your script is you might play with an alternative
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
$(this).find('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).find('.more').hide();
});
});
The first will be cleaner, but the second is a fallback for more restrictive situations, and both should achieve your desired effect without completely removing the functionality, just changing the default state on load.
I have a simple jquery script that changes the url path of the images. The only problem is the doesn't apply after I click the load more button. So I'm trying to do a workaround where it calls the script again after clicking the button.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function ReplaceImage() {
$(".galleryItem img").each(function() {
$(this).attr("src", function(a, b) {
return b.replace("s72-c", "s300")
})
})
});
</script>
HTML
Load More
While Keith's answer will get you what you are looking for, I really can't recommend that approach. You are much better off with something like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var replaceImage = function() {
$('.galleryItem img').each(function() {
$(this).attr('src', function(index, value) {
return value.replace('s72-c', 's300');
});
});
};
replaceImage();
$('.js-replace-image').on('click', replaceImage);
});
</script>
Using this html
<button class="js-replace-image">Load More</button>
By taking this approach, you do not expose any global variables onto the window object, which can be a point of issue if you work with other libraries (or developers) that don't manage their globals well.
Also, by moving to a class name and binding an event handler to the DOM node via JavaScript, you future proof yourself much more. Also allows yourself to easily add this functionality to more buttons very easily but just adding a class to it.
I updated the anchor tag to a button because of the semantics of what you need to do - it doesn't link out anywhere, it's just dynamic functionality on the page. This is what buttons are best served for.
I'd also recommend putting this in the footer of your site, because then, depending on your situation, you will already have the images updated properly without having to click the button. The only need for the button would be if you are dynamically inserting more images on the page after load, or if this script was in the head of your document (meaning jQuery couldn't know about the images yet).
I hope this helps, reach out if you have questions.
So I am making a website for radio streams and was told I should use Jquery and AJAX to load the HTML files into a div on button click so that I wouldn't have to make the user load a completely new HTML page for each radio stream. But I am a bit lost since I am new to this language and I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong.
Currently I have a index.html page that loads each individual div and loads all the available radio stations in an iframe linking to an HTML file. In this HTML file there are around 40 buttons that each have to link to their own radio stream. On a button press I want said stream to load into the 'radio player' div for a smooth transition.
After trying to google the problem I was told to do this with the following JavaScript code:
$(function(){
$(".538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
Since each button is also showing its own image file, I tried to add class="538 to each image source so the JavaScript knows what is targeted. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work at all and I have no clue what to do. I tried to do this in a separate index.js file which unfortunately didn't work, so I tried to use the JavaScript code in the HTML file itself, and this didn't seem to do the trick either.
TL/DR: trying to load HTML code in a div when an image button is clicked.
Is there perhaps a tutorial for this available? I tried to search the web but couldn't find anything at all. If anyone is able to help me out with this problem I'd love you forever.
I think what's happening is that you're working with dynamic elements. More importantly you should never use numbers to start off either a class name or id.
Unless you post a bit more code it's hard to figure out exactly what you're wanting to do.
If you work with dynamic html the click event won't work, because well you need do dynamically bind the event listener.
For that you can use
$('#dynamicElement').on('click', function() {
$(this).find('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
The above code works if the element is nested in the button. If it's an external element then use.
$('#dynamicElement').on('click',function() {
$('#elementYouWantToLoadInto').load('/includes/abount-info.html');
});
You mentioned that this language is a bit new to you; If you're open to a bit of refactoring:
Your main page should have 2 sections:
<div id='myButtons'>
<input type='radio' data-url='/includes/about-info.html' />
<...>
</div>
<div id='myContent'></div>
<script>
$(function() { //jquery syntax - waits for the page to load before running
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() { // jquery: any click from an input inside of myButtons will be caught)
var button = $(this),
url = button.data('url'),
content = $('#myContent');
content.load(url);
});
</script>
Jquery: http://api.jquery.com/
you can try this
$('#myButtons').on('click', 'input', function() {
$.get("about-info.html", function(data) {
$("#div3").html(data);
});
});
or
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
$(".radio538").click(function(){
$("#div3").load("/includes/about-info.html");
});
});
})
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#radio1').on('click',function(){
#('#loadradiohere').load('/includes/about-info.html');
});
});
Try that code in your .js file. I am still working for a similar project man.
So I have a website I am working on just as a personal website that uses jQuery and jQuery UI
Previously I have been using hidden html code and just using jquery to show it.
But its making my html file messy so I wanted to use jquery's .load() to do the same thing but from an external file.
Right now, its set to a .click function.
For my hidden html it shows it every time when I click a particular element.When you click on a different element it. It hides the first one. I am doing it by having a div with 2 classes. The problem is when I tried to load html into a hidden div, and then show it and hide it, it only worked the first time.
Enough talk, here is my code. #1 works , #2 only works on the first click. And leaves imagearea blank every time after.
$(".jquery").click(function(){
clearImageArea();
hideThumbnails(5);
showThumbnails();
$("#1").click(function(){
$(".imagearea").html(js);
$(".jscode").show(1000);
$(".title").text("Extending jQuery");
});
$("#2").click(function(){
$(".jquery2").empty();
$(".jquery2").load("jqueryEx.html");
var jquery2 = $(".jquery2");
$(".imagearea").html(jquery2);
$(".jquery2").show(1000);
$(".title").text("Extending Jquery Example");
});
});
now my hidden stuff in my html file
First my html and js code is loaded into here from jqueryEx.html and is being hidden elsewhere in my javascript via $(".hidden").hide(); and loaded then into into imagearea via .html() and shown via .show()
<div class="jquery2 hidden">
</div>
My other div looks like this which is put into imagearea by clicking on #1
<div class="jscode hidden">
<div class="block">
//lots of js code escaped out into html
</div> <!-- end of block-->
</div>
elsewhere in my JS code at the beginning I have var js=$(".jscode"); to load it into the js variable you saw earlier.
if you want to see an out of date example of what I am working on
go to www.3realsoft.com (only cs and js work on skills)
if you want to see any additional parts of my code, just ask. Most of it is there on my website though.
I got to this item in my search results, when I was trying to have a button both load and refresh the content, and the load was working but the refresh was not working.
Here's a shorter version of the solution, setting Cache to false was the key. Solution found over at this other link, but I'm posting this concept here because if Google dropped me in this item, others looking for the same will also probably find themselves here. Props to John Millikin, make sure to go over to his answer and upvote him: Stop jQuery .load response from being cached
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajaxSetup({
// Disable caching of AJAX responses
cache: false
});
$('.detail-expand').click(function () {
var detailRowElement = $(this).closest('.session-row-tr').next();
var detailElement = detailRowElement.find('.detail-row-div');
var sessionId = detailElement.data("sessionId");
detailElement.empty();
detailElement.load('/Admin/WebLogPartial/' + sessionId, function () {
$.bootstrapSortable(true, 'reversed');
});
detailRowElement.show();
});
});
</script>
Anything that depends on the HTML being loaded must be done in the callback function, because the first A in AJAX stands for asynchronous.
$("#2").click(function(){
$(".jquery2").empty();
$(".jquery2").load("jqueryEx.html", function() {
var jquery2 = $(".jquery2");
$(".imagearea").html(jquery2);
$(".jquery2").show(1000);
$(".title").text("Extending Jquery Example");
});
});
I'm not really sure what you're trying to do with .html(jquery2), since the argument to .html() is supposed to be a string, not a jQuery object. Maybe you meant:
var jquery2 = $(".jquery2").html();
Basically I want a certain spot on my page to be clicked when the visitor loads the page. I want this one click to happen without the user even clicking. Is it possible?
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
// target represents the id of the element you are wanting to be clicked.
$('#target').click(function() {
// your click handler logic goes here
});
// click the element for the user...
$('#target').click();
});
</script>
<div id="target">This is the element on the page that will be clicked on pageload</div>
UPDATE: This is using JQuery, which is a JavaScript library. Here is a script tag you can use to import JQuery in your HEAD section, if you're not already using it:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
...
</head>
http://jquery.com/
Using a JavaScript library, such as JQuery, will ensure that this functionality works cross-browser.
If you want to achieve the same purpose without using a javascript library you can use the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){ //when the window loads
var paragraph = document.getElementById("google"); //store the object into a
// variable
//set the functions that will fireup when click happens - not necessary -
//for example purposes
paragraph.onclick = function(){
this.style.background="red";
}
paragraph.onclick(); //simulate click
}
</script>
<p id="google">Google text</p>
demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/9azTR/2/
You can fire specified event on DOM ready. You can to that using jQuery...
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#clickme').bind('click', function() {
alert('Here goes code you would like to perform');
alert('And another pieco of code, if you wish');
});
$('#clickme').trigger('click');
});
Agreed with #Felix Kling. If you are trying to simulate a click from a user on an object you can just invoke the function.
But from the way the question was worded it sounds like you want to simulate a click on an ad to generate revenue on your site? If so the DOM will not allow you to access another containing frame (e.g. an iframe) - that's a security violation.
If you want to that you would have to somehow hijack the user's mouse though an ActiveX control or other malicious means, which of course is unscrupulous.
