Displaying the content of an external file within jQuery modal - javascript

I work with a simple modal to understand how jQuery modal works. With this process
var load = 'alert.html'; // THE PURPOSE OF THIS QUESTION IS TO CHANGE "alert.html" to "image.jpg"
$(this).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('body').append('<div id="overlay" />');
$('#overlay').fadeIn(300, function() {
$('body').append('<div id="alertModalOuter"><div id="alertModal"></div></div>');
var outer = $('#alertModalOuter');
var modal = $('#alertModal');
var defWidth = outer.outerWidth();
var defHeight = outer.outerHeight();
modal.load(load + ' #alert', function() {
var alertBoxContent = $('#alert');
var alertWidth = alertBoxContent.outerWidth();
var alertHeight = alertBoxContent.outerHeight();
var widthCombine = -((defWidth + alertWidth) / 2);
var heightCombine = -((defHeight + alertHeight) / 2);
modal.animate({width: alertWidth, height: alertHeight}, 200);
outer.animate({marginLeft: widthCombine, marginTop: heightCombine}, 200, function() {
alertBoxContent.fadeIn(200, function() {
});
});
});
This appends the content of an external file come (from load) to the modal windows; but this only works for the content within tag of id="alert". How can I remove the role of "alert" to display the entire content of external file. For example, I want to load an external image (which is an image file and not between "alert" tag).

You don't have to specify the #alert selector and it'll load the whole page. It's worth noting that if you don't specify a selector, then load calls .html() and processes all the scripts before removing them. You may have some scripts running giving you unexpected results. The .load() docs

Window.print not working for print graph

I have one page where I use java script and css to show graph.When I try to print graph using div content and opening new window it does not work.
Below is screenshot of graph page and print window
I have tried to put css before printing and also added bootstrap js but stil not work.
Below is code that I copy form stackoverflow and modify as I require.Thanks.
function printDiv() {
debugger;
var printContents = $('body').clone().find('script').remove().end().html();
// get all <links> and remove all the <script>'s from the header that could run on the new window
var allLinks = $('head').clone().find('script').remove().end().html();
var js = "";
js += "#Html.Raw(string.Format("<script src='/SkillsAssessmentModule/Scripts/bootbox.min.js'/>"))";
// open a new window
var popupWin = window.open('', '_blank');
// ready for writing
popupWin.document.open();
// -webkit-print-color-adjust to keep colors for the printing version
var keepColors = '<style>body {-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important; }</style>';
// writing
// onload="window.print()" to print straigthaway
popupWin.document.write('<html><head>' + keepColors + allLinks + '</head><body>' + document.getElementById("lProgress").innerHTML + js + '</body></html>');
popupWin.print();
// close for writing
popupWin.document.close();
setTimeout(function () { popupWin.close(); }, 1);
}
</script>
}

Why does this "loading message" script not work in FF?(javascript)

I have this script which should show the text "Loading..." while images are loading, then change the text to "loaded" when all images are loaded. I added a button to load new images to make sure that it works for dynamically loaded images as well.
This works perfectly in Chrome but in Firefox the "Loading..." text never appears. I have no idea why this would be. The page begins loading and not all images are loaded so it should create the text "Loading.." but it doesn't. Then when all images are done loading the text "Loading" appears.
I just don't get why one message would appear and the other wouldn't. Especially because there are no qualifications that have to be met before creating the "Loading..." text, it should just fire automatically.
jsfiddle Example | Full Page Example
$(document).ready(function() {
var checkComplete = function() {
if($('img').filter(function() {return $('img').prop('complete');}).length == $('img').length) {
$('.status').text('Loaded');
} else {
$('.status').text('Loading...');
}
};
$('img').on('load',function() {
checkComplete();
});
$('#button').click(function() {
$('img.a').attr('src' , 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8675107979_ee12611e6e_o.jpg');
$('img.b').attr( 'src' , 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8382/8677371836_651f586c99_o.jpg');
checkComplete();
});
checkComplete();
});
You have several issues in the code.
First off, the checkComplete() function is not written correctly. It should be this:
var checkComplete = function() {
var imgs = $('img');
if(imgs.filter(function() {return this.complete;}).length == imgs.length) {
$('.status').text('Loaded');
} else {
$('.status').text('Loading...');
}
};
The main fix here is that the filter callback needs to refer to this.complete, not to $('img').prop('complete') because you are trying to filter a single item at a time.
Second off, you are relying on both .complete and .load working correctly AFTER you've changed the .src value. This is explicitly one of the cases where they do not work properly in all browsers.
The bulletproof way to work around this is to create a new image object for the new images, set the onload handler before you set the .src value and when both onload handlers have fired, you will know that both new images are loaded and you can replace the once you have in the DOM with the new ones.
Here is a version that works in FF:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#button').click(function() {
var imgA = new Image();
var imgB = new Image();
imgA.className = "a";
imgB.className = "b";
var loaded = 0;
imgA.onload = imgB.onload = function() {
++loaded;
if (loaded == 2) {
$("img.a").replaceWith(imgA);
$("img.b").replaceWith(imgB);
$('.status').text('Loaded');
}
}
// the part with adding now to the end of the URL here is just for testing purposes to break the cache
// remove that part for deployment
var now = new Date().getTime();
imgA.src = 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8675107979_ee12611e6e_o.jpg?' + now;
imgB.src = 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8382/8677371836_651f586c99_o.jpg?' + now;
$('.status').text('Loading...');
});
});
Working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/yy7GX/
If you want to preserve the original objects, you can use the newly created objects only for preloading the new images and then change .src after they've been preloaded like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#button').click(function() {
var imgA = new Image();
var imgB = new Image();
var loaded = 0;
imgA.onload = imgB.onload = function() {
++loaded;
if (loaded == 2) {
$("img.a")[0].src = imgA.src;
$("img.b")[0].src = imgB.src;
$('.status').text('Loaded');
}
}
// the part with adding now to the end of the URL here is just for testing purposes to break the cache
// remove that part for deployment
var now = new Date().getTime();
imgA.src = 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8675107979_ee12611e6e_o.jpg?' + now;
imgB.src = 'http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8382/8677371836_651f586c99_o.jpg?' + now;
$('.status').text('Loading...');
});
});

From the jQuery API .load method
Caveats of the load event when used with images
A common challenge developers attempt to solve using the `.load()` shortcut is to execute a function when an image (or collection of images) have completely loaded. There are several known caveats with this that should be noted. These are:
It doesn't work consistently nor reliably cross-browser
It doesn't fire correctly in WebKit if the image src is set to the same src as before
It doesn't correctly bubble up the DOM tree
Can cease to fire for images that already live in the browser's cache

jQuery document ready buggyness with social sharing services

I have a strange issue that might have to do with jQuery document ready. Below is an html and script block that contains the usual social networking scripts. The Javascript block below displays the dd_outer div on the left edge of the body div, and when the browser window is shrunk, the div is faded out and the dd_footer div is faded in. The fadein and fadeout between the two divs works OK.
The problem is two fold: one issue is when the browser window is full width (1200px+), the Facebook script will not load and display consistently; it sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't, sometimes after a page reload and sometimes doesn't. (No browser or .htaccess caching is involved). Only the Facebook share fails to show consistently; all other services show OK.
The second problem that when the browser window is narrow - 650 px or so, when the dd_outer div is not displayed and the dd_footer div is - the footer div will not show on a page reload until the browser window is moved the smallest amount. Then the the div will display, Facebook share and all. For a mobile device, this is a problem because the browser window will be narrow to begin with and shouldn't need to be "nudged" to make the dd_footer div display.
This problem may have come into play because I have adapted this code from a WordPress plugin that used options to set the position of the dd_outer div and scroll height. That's the reason for the variables above the document ready call.
Is this the issue with what seems to be a document ready issue?
How can the variables be integrated into the script itself? It doesn't matter if they are hardcoded; I can change them when needed.
I'd throw this in a jsfiddle to demo but the divs won't realistically float with the window resizing.
I haven't included the CSS for clarity.
This is the html and social script block:
<div class='dd_outer'><div class='dd_inner'><div id='dd_ajax_float'>
<div class="sbutton"><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like layout="box_count" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></div>
<div class="sbutton">
Tweet<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div>
<div class="sbutton"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script><g:plusone size="tall"></g:plusone></div>
<div class="sbutton"><script src="http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script></div>
</div></div></div>
In the footer is <div id="dd_footer">that contains the same social scripts as above</div> and are faded in and out by the script below:
This is the jQuery that positions the dd_outer social services to the left and fades it out and fades in the dd_footer div.

jQuery .ready() does not wait for iframes and other external media to load. These social buttons tend to work by inserting an iframe. The load event does wait for iframes etc, so you could try using that event instead, i.e.
jQuery(window).load(function () {
/* put the code you had inside .ready() here */
});
The problem comes with your idea: $(document).ready() fires when the DOM is ready, not when all scripts are ready!
an idea would be to search for trigger of that social-APIs you are using or just delay your calculations (e.g. via setTimeout).
Keep in mind that they are asyncron, even if you specify "async" on the script-tag to be false, you still dont know when they will activate or are finished.
I suggest to use the standard DOM event window.onload if you want to make sure that all the external assets, scripts, images, etc. are loaded first before you do something:
window.onload = function () {
// your script that needs to run after all the external assets are loaded
}
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.onload
I just ran into similar problems with the facebook script... I just used the integration in the HEAD-section with javascript and added an "asynchronous"-attribute to the javascript-embedding script which then fires an asynchronous "heeey, facebook is ready now, too"-event to my jQuery-eventqueue...
I can't help you in detail, because I don't totally understand what you WANT to do and would reorganize the whole code A LOT... so - contact me private (email/skype) or try figuring out... I used that lines of code: pastie.org/private/9m4b9eet1dzzkl6duqpkrg

Javascript taking too long to load

The javascript of the div "intro" is loading at last. It's taking too long to load as the web page loads the bg image first and then loads the java script. Is there a way i can display "loading please wait" message in that "intro" div until it completely loads. I just want that the intro should load first.
Javascript code:
var tl = new Array(
"=======================",
" Welcome user, ",
" ###########################################"
);
var speed = 50;
var index = 0;
text_pos = 0;
var str_length = tl[0].length;
var contents, row;
function type_text() {
contents = '';
row = Math.max(0, index - 20);
while (row < index)
contents += tl[row++] + '\r\n';
document.forms[0].elements[0].value = contents + tl[index].substring(0, text_pos) + "_";
if (text_pos++ == str_length) {
text_pos = 0;
index++;
if (index != tl.length) {
str_length = tl[index].length;
setTimeout("type_text()", 500);
}
}
else setTimeout("type_text()", speed);
}
This is the script and its basically typing letter by letter in a text area in the div "intro". The problem is that it loads at last when the whole page has loaded. It starts printing the text after like 15 seconds or so.
There are "domready" events you can listen to on the document but seems that's not cross-browser.
Eg: Mozilla
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", methodName, false)
A better option is to use jQuery's .ready() event. They handle all cross-browser implementations.
Eg:
$(document).ready(function(){
//execute code here
});
//Shorthand
$(function(){
//...
});
See this related question for more on domready.
Load a page with the empty intro div, run the script with "loading please wait" then trigger an ajax request to load the rest of the page and update the page on onComplete event from the ajax request
Using jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
// update div here
});
http://api.jquery.com/ready/
Or you could do that with
window.onload= (function() {
// update div here
};
You can use jquery for this by wrapping the content in a div tag and then another div that holds a loading image, something to this effect:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#loading').show();
$('#divShowMeLater').load(function () {
$('#loading').hide();
$('#divShowMeLater').show();
});
})
Assume divShowMeLater is the div that contains all the content being loaded. The markup would look similiar to this:
<div id="divShowMeLater" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;" >
<div id="loading">Page loading...
<img src="images/ajax-loader.gif" alt="loading page..." />
</div>
</div>

dynamic <img> refresh with javascript

I'm trying to get an user input image to refresh say every two seconds. The javascript gets user input for an URL and the javscript adds it to the page. Then the images loaded need to refresh every 2 seconds but i can't get it to refresh properly without refreshing the whole page or reloading from the cache:
function getImg(){
var url=document.getElementById('txt').value;
var div=document.createElement('div');
div.className="imageWrapper";
var img=document.createElement('img');
img.src=url;
div.appendChild(img);
document.getElementById('images').appendChild(div);
return false;
}
setInterval(function(){
$('img').each(function(){
var time = (new Date()).getTime();
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src") + time );
});
}, 2000);
any ideas?
When you need to force reload the resource, you have to add a dymmy queryString at the end of your url:
<img id="img1" src="myimg.png?dummy=23423423423">
Javascript:
$('#img1').attr('src','myimg.png?dummy=23423423423');
and change the dummy value for each refresh
Your premise seems good, not sure why it isn't working. Why mixing and matching jQuery with non-jquery? This is a modification of your code, but it is a working example. You should be able to adapt it for your purpose.
http://jsfiddle.net/zr692/1/
You can create elements via jQuery easily. See the modified getImg function I created. Ia also switched from attr to prop which is the recommended means of accessing the src attribute in jQuery 1.7+.
function getImg() {
var url = 'http://placehold.it/300x300/123456';
var $div = $('<div />');
var $img = $('<img />', { src: url });
$div.append($img);
$('body').append($div);
}
getImg();
var interval = setInterval(function() {
$('img').each(function() {
var time = (new Date()).getTime();
var oldurl = $(this).prop('src');
var newurl = oldurl.substring(0, oldurl.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) + time.toString().substr(7, 6);
$('#output').html(newurl);
$(this).prop('src', newurl);
});
}, 2000);
Put the image in a container as:
<div id="container"><img src=""../> </div>
then simply update the content of the container as:
$('#container').html('<img src="newSource"../>');
