On page reload entire focus on an id

I'm working on some accessibility stuff for a client and the site is basically in Ruby on Rails but I know this needs some JS that I'm pretty weak with. The site has three links that then trigger an iframe. So it's something like this:
<%=link_to("Alpha", "#alpha")%>
<%=link_to("Beta", "#beta")%>
<%=link_to("Gamma", "#gamma")%>
<iframe src="<%=#url%>" width="100%" height="500px;" id="myFrame" tabindex="0" title="<%=#title%>"></iframe>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("myFrame").focus();
};
</script>
I'm testing the screen reading using ChromeVox and on page load/and reload it will read off the navigation from the top of the page. The keyboard focus is definitely on the iFrame but it reads through the entire page.
So how do I force the entire focus on the iFrame on a page reload?

This answer here seems like it may work for you. That would mean updating your code to have the aria-live attribute "assertive", such as:
<iframe src="<%=#url%>" width="100%" height="500px;" id="myFrame" aria-live="assertive" tabindex="0" title="<%=#title%>"></iframe>

Changing an iframe SRC dynamically

What I have and I need to do it work properly is when I'm in a "start page" and I click a button like this:
PAGE-1
Point A
It should send me to "another page" where I load dinamically an iframe taking each variable (shopID, type, max-levels and point) from the URL and print it like an iframe this way:
PAGE-2
<iframe id="frame" src="http://myappwebsite/resourcesiframe?shopId=3366&type=image&point=A" width=“XXX" height=“XXX"></iframe>
I've used this javascript snippet but anyway, I can't make it work properly at all.
$(".map-button").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#frame").attr("src", $(this).attr('data - iframe - src'));
});
I only need to get the variables from the data-iframe-src and use them in the iframe, but I'm not able... The problem is that I load elements in different pages, so I don't know how this affect to the URL variables.

I've founded a simple solution for my problem here and it works for me.
First of all I put this simple iframe in my PAGE-2:
<iframe id="frame" src="" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
Then in PAGE-1 I've used this type of links:
https://myappwebsite/page-2?shopId=1234&type=image&max-levels=1&point=A
So now my PAGE-2 loads properly with these params in the URL. Then I've used this simple snippet in Javascript to fill my iframe in PAGE-2:
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#frame").attr("src", "https://myappwebsite/resourcesiframe" + window.location.search);
});
</script>
And it works! Now I can go to PAGE-2 with all my params, pick them and use them in SRC inside the blank iframe.
Thanks for getting me in the correct path!

Can't open external link in dropbox hosted website

I have a single html page hosted in my Public Dropbox folder.
The page loads and all works well except when I try to navigate a new page to an external website.
The url is supposed to go to "www.paypal.me/cloud9cincy/"
But when the page loads, it goes to "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33811101/www.paypal.me/cloud9cincy/"
I cannot figure out how to make this work.
function paypal(){
var test = $('#paypal').attr("href");
window.open(test, '_blank');
}
<button id="paypal" onClick="paypal();">Donate to Cloud9:Cincy</button>

Presumably you have something like this:
<a id="paypal" href="www.paypal.me/cloud9cincy/">paypal link</a>
That is being interpreted as a relative URL. You should instead specify it absolutely like:
<a id="paypal" href="https://www.paypal.me/cloud9cincy/">paypal link</a>

Execute custom script after page loaded with Ratchet\Push.js

So on the GitHub documentation for Ratchet 2.0.2 I found the following statement.
Script tags containing JavaScript will not be executed on pages that
are loaded with push.js. If you would like to attach event handlers to
elements on other pages, document-level event delegation is a common
solution.
Can someone please spell out exactly how to get a custom <script> to execute after being loaded by Push.js?
On my first page, I have a Table view, with several links to other pages, one of them being a link to a second page with a Twitter Feed widget on it.
<li class="table-view-cell media">
<a class="navigate-right" href="Twitter.php" data-transition="slide-in">
<span class="media-object pull-left icon icon-person"></span>
<div class="media-body">
Twitter Feed
</div>
</a>
</li>
The second page only contains the twitter feed widget code. When I browse to this page directly (without being loaded by Push.js) everything loads correctly, but when it is loaded via Push.js, the script is not executed.
Can someone please explain what I need to do to get this script to execute after being loaded by Push.js? I've searched Google, Stack Exchange, and Github\Ratchet issues and have not been able to find a good example of how to accomplish this.
One solution would be to add data-ignore="push" to the link, but I want to know how to do with WITH push.js.
<div class="content">
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/XXXX" data-widget-id="XXXX">Tweets by XXX</a>
</div>
<script>
!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
</script>

EDIT: below was how I originally solved this problem, which worked fine, but I came up with a better solution, which I posted as the answer to this question.
I finally figured it out.
On your first page, you need to do the following...
var checkPage = function(){
//Only run if twitter-widget exists on page
if(document.getElementById('twitter-widget')) {
loadTwitterFeed(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
}
};
window.addEventListener('push', checkPage);
checkPage() will execute for every time a new page is loaded via push.

Just made a change for Ratchet.js to make individual js works for each page more elegant.(https://github.com/mazong1123/ratchet-pro)
By using the new ratchetPro.js, we can do followings:
(function () {
var rachetPageManager = new window.RATCHET.Class.PageManager();
rachetPageManager.ready(function () {
// Put your logic here.
});
})();

onclick on a image to navigate to another page using Javascript

I am getting warmed up with Javascript so I am trying something on my own. I am searching for a onclick function, where I have thumbnail images in my index.html page, and whenever a user clicks the image he will be redirected to a new page where the image is again displayed along with some information about it. Right now I am doing it using just plain HTML.
I want to use javascript to navigate to the page corresponding to the image the user has clicked. Is that possible to do using onclick? I have more than 10 images on my webpage and each time a user clicks an image I want to get the id of that image and redirect it to the new page. The new page is named after the image name.
For ex:
image name: bottle.jpg (residing in the images folder)
redirect page name: bottle.html (residing in the main folder)
<a href="bottle.html" id="bottle" ><img src="../images/bottle.jpg" alt="bottle" class="thumbnails" /></a>
Any valuable information will be appreciated!
If it is somewhere asked in this forum, it would be helpful if somebody can give me that link.
Thanks,
Raaks

maybe this is what u want?
<a href="#" id="bottle" onclick="document.location=this.id+'.html';return false;" >
<img src="../images/bottle.jpg" alt="bottle" class="thumbnails" />
</a>
edit: keep in mind that anyone who does not have javascript enabled will not be able to navaigate to the image page....

Because it makes these things so easy, you could consider using a JavaScript library like jQuery to do this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('img.thumbnail').click(function() {
window.location.href = this.id + '.html';
});
});
</script>
Basically, it attaches an onClick event to all images with class thumbnail to redirect to the corresponding HTML page (id + .html). Then you only need the images in your HTML (without the a elements), like this:
<img src="bottle.jpg" alt="bottle" class="thumbnail" id="bottle" />
<img src="glass.jpg" alt="glass" class="thumbnail" id="glass" />

I'd set up your HTML like so:
<img src="../images/bottle.jpg" alt="bottle" class="thumbnails" id="bottle" />
Then use the following code:
<script>
var images = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
var image = images[i];
image.onclick = function(event) {
window.location.href = this.id + '.html';
};
}
</script>
That assigns an onclick event handler to every image on the page (this may not be what you want, you can limit it further if necessary) that changes the current page to the value of the images id attribute plus the .html extension. It's essentially the pure Javascript implementation of #JanPöschko's jQuery answer.

You can define a a click function and then set the onclick attribute for the element.
function imageClick(url) {
window.location = url;
}
<img src="../images/bottle.jpg" alt="bottle" class="thumbnails" onclick="imageClick('../images/bottle.html')" />
This approach lets you get rid of the surrounding <a> element. If you want to keep it, then define the onclick attribute on <a> instead of on <img>.
