My url format is like :
http://domain.in/home
http://domain.in/books/notes
http://domain.in/books/notes/copy
I've called a javascript function on window.load to check if the url has changed or not.
If the url has been changed then code is executed else it will return and checks again after 5 sec.
My code is :
window.onload = function(){
setInterval(function(){
page_open();
}, 5000);
};
function page_open(){
var pages=unescape(location.href);
pages=pages.substr( pages.lastIndexOf("studysquare.in/") + 15 );
// gives book if url is http://studysquare.in/book
//alert("pages"+pages+"\n\n recent"+recent);
if (pages==recent) { return; }
recent=pages;
alert("Reached down now the code will execute.");
}
The problem now is : when the url is like :
http://domain.in/book
Single level deep, then everything works fine. But when the url is like
http://domain.in/book/copy or http://domain.in/book/copy/notes
Then nothing works.....
Any help to check 3 level deep url change in javascript every 5 sec ? :)
Hi sorry I forgot to tell that... I've .htaccess file which doesnt allow to navigate the page when any length url after the domain.in/ is written.... that means only single page remains open and not affected by the url change...
When the user changes the URL, the browser unloads the entire page they're currently on (including your javascript, hence it stops running) and then loads the next page. No javascript is able to run across page changes. You can't monitor a change in the URL like you're doing if they're navigating to another page.
The best way to catch a change in the URL is to add an onUnload event to the body object to fire your javascript when the browser unloads the page just before starting to load the new page the user has requested -- but I'm not sure that's going to help achieve your goal of tracking their recent page views (if that's what you're looking to do).
Sounds like a history plugin such as jQuery address would help you a lot.
It lets you handle the event when the URL is changed, so you can load in new content as required.

First I used include('pageName.php'); for every page I wanted to load.
Now I decided to rewrite everything and to load a page in a <div id="page_content"></div> with the jQuery function: $('#page_content').load(pageurl, {access:true});
I hope this is the best practice. Because I want to reduce load time on my web application by not refreshing the whole website with all CSS and JS files but just to refresh content when clicked on a new page.
Currently I am using the following function to load pages into the division and to pushState to history:
//Dynload pages
$("a[rel='dynload']").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var page = $(this).attr("page");
var pageurl = "pages/" + page + ".php";
$('#page_content').load(pageurl, {access:true});
if(pageurl!=window.location){
window.history.pushState({path:pageurl},'',page);
}
//stop refreshing to the page given in
return false;
});
This works perfectly.
I have this button that triggers this function and gives for attribute page="index_content" . The function will load this page to the division and the state is being pushed into the history.
However. We get an url something like this: https://mywebsite.com/index_content
The problem is, when I load this specific URL into my browser I get : "Page not found" ofcourse, because it is trying to search for the index_content folder which does not exist.
Is there a way to check the url by my PHP/jQuery script and to load the correct page into the division? If not, how can I solve this for a generic case.
When I add a new page, I want to spend no- to very less time on the pageswitcher function.
In that way I can also handle non-existing pages.
Thanks in advance!
I have a page where there is a form which is used to Add / Edit Addresses.
In the right section of the page, there is a saved address Which has Edit link and it gives call to the same page URL with adding a new parameter say "billingID.XXXXX".
After clicking on this link, page is re loaded with the default address data auto filled.
I need this to happen on the first time load. I tried triggering click event on this Edit link on load, but I suppose it is not allowed by jQuery.
What are the other options I have with jQuery / javascript to add this URL parameter on load of page.?
You could try the Javascript History API.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API
It depends on what you want to do, I didn't understand you quite clear.
If you need the page to be reloaded and show the page by url, you can get 'href' value by jquery and then call window.location = $('.mylink').attr('href') + '?billingID.XXXXX';.
If you just want to replace url in browser panel, you can use History API as Kahuna suggested. E.g. you can call
window.history.replaceState(null, document.title, window.location.path + '?helloworld=1');
but then you have to update the page contents by yourself, using JS and jQuery.
you can try this:
if(window.location.href == 'requestd page href'){//http://localhost/test/test.php
window.location.href += "?billingID.XXXXX";
}
My page runs on php for no js-users. For users with javascript on I load all content dynamic fromt the index in combination with the hashchangevent. So the links all look like www.page.com/#page.php, with a # before it. If the user types it in that way every thing works like charm and the content is being loaded over the index.php
But if a user would enter www.page.com/page.php the page of course ends up on the php page and the dynamic page will of course not work any more except the user will hit the index page and go on navigate from that. So that's not a cool way.
My Question:
How can I redirect user from:
www.page.com/page.php
to
www.page.com/#page.php
when they typed in www.page.com/page.php in the Browser
Of course only with javascript. The Page should work without javascript on normally with php.
Thank you.
When the page loads, change the window.location to the desired URL by deconstructing and reassembling the URI. Unfortunately, you'll have to include this on every page (i.e., page.php) on which you'd like the redirect to happen.
$(document).ready(function () {
// Insert the pathname after the hash, but skip the leading '`'
window.location = "/#" + document.location.pathname.slice(1);
});
It's slightly less clean, but you could also remove the window.location bit from .ready() entirely. This would effect an small performance improvement.
If you want the hash-redirect to affect only the last element of the current path, use the code below, instead.
window.location = "./#" + document.location.pathname.split('/').pop();
I have a scenario to refresh the browser after the page is loaded for first time or one time.
Because the data is not showing properly when the pages is loaded,and when i refresh the browser it is showing.I don't know the reason.
Many Thanks
So you only want the browser to refresh once? Do something like this.
window.onload = function(){
if(!document.location.hash){
window.location = "#loaded";
}
}
or jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
if(document.location.hash){
window.location = "#loaded";
}
});
But in all honesty this is just a temporary solution. As much as you try to cover it up with quick fixes. I guarantee it will come back to haunt you. Well written and structured code will last a lifetime and can always be reused on future projects.
Invariably, you're going to have to use some JavaScript. What you want is for your refresh code to run when the page is completely loaded. You could use the HTML onload event, but there are problems with this (e.g. it will fire before any images are loaded). I would suggest using JQuery's ready() event, if you want to be sure it fires after the entire page is loaded.
Example:
// NOTE: This will only work with JQuery loaded.
$(document).ready(function(){
location.reload(true);
});
Making this only fire on the first page load is a bit more tricky. You could add an anchor suffix to the URL to keep track of whether you've refreshed the page yet or not, and then only refresh if it is not present in the URL:
$(document).ready(function(){
if(location.hash != "#")
{
// Set the URL to whatever it was plus "#".
// (The page will NOT automatically reload.)
location = "#";
// Reload the page.
location.reload(true);
}
});
Alternatively, you could use the query string, since this will automatically refresh the page when changed:
$(document).ready(function(){
var marker = 'r'; // 'r' is for "refreshed"
if(location.search != "?"+marker)
{
// Set the URL to whatever it was plus "?r".
// (This will automatically force a page reload.)
location = "?"+marker;
}
});
Caveat: With either of these samples, if your user bookmarks the page after the "#" or "?r" tag has been added to the URL, the page won't refresh when they revisit the page. If you want it to be bulletproof, you might have to use a cookie instead.
In facebook, whenever you navigate to a different URL (in some situations), the URL changes but there is no feeling sensed as going to a different page.
For example: when we view pictures in facebook, and when we move to the next image the URL changes in the address bar
FROM >facebook.com/foo?bar=foobar&xxxx=
TO > >>facebook.com/foo?bar=boobar&xxxx=
and this is not hashed change also
like
FROM >facebook.com/xxxxx#xxx=xxxx
TO > >>facebook.com/xxxxx#xxx=yyyy
How is this possible seamlessly. I mean how is that only a container is modified on URL change. URL change is supposed to navigate to a different page which can contain cached information from previous page and THIS navigation by URL change can be seen obviously by browser's screen going blank for a moment.
If using an iFrame, how to implement this ?
I use somehting similar to this
try {
var stateObj = { foo: "bar" };
history.pushState(stateObj, "page", href);
loadPage(href);
}
catch(e) {
window.location.hash = "#!/"+href;
}
If it supports the HTML5 pushState them change URL, but if it doesn't then the fall back is the window hash.
wow. I just asked it few minutes ago ... use search next time ;)
Dynamic favicon when I'm proccessing ajax data
Modify the URL without reloading the page
There's a jQuery plugin called "address" that will watch for changes and call the function you give. I think it's just checking the URL every 100ms or so.
They issue an AJAX request for the data necessary to fulfil the "navigation", then tell the browser to "go to #xxx=yyy". Since such an anchor doesn't exist, the browser doesn't actually scroll down. However, it does record a new history entry, and also updates the URL so that if someone copy-pastes that URL, they will view the same object that the user is seeing, rather than just the original page.
