I'm a long time self taught user, just never had an issue that wasn't already answered in some form or another. Awesome community thank you all!
So I am dumbfounded as to why javascript will not properly refresh my page.
I have a very large page that I use with jquery and vertical tabs tagged with url hashes. This is a new function I recently added after updating to the newest version.
Upon clicking submit the form refreshes and if $_POST[update] is set it will run a set of queries. Then I have a javascript timeout that refreshes the page (ideally to the correct tab ex: home/database.php?file=101#tab3)
an excerpt of my messy code:
if(isset($_POST['update']))
{ do a bunch of sql stuff
....
<pre>
<?PHP
//unset update variable
$_POST = array();
//print_r(get_defined_vars());
?>
</pre>
</br>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Redirect() {
$('#redirect').trigger('click');
}
var currenturl = window.location.href;
document.write("<form action=" + currenturl +"><input type=submit name=redirect value=Redirect></form>");
document.write("</br>You will be redirected back to the file in 2 seconds.");
setTimeout('Redirect()', 2000);
</script>
<?php
mysql_close($conn);
}
else
{ display usual data....check boxes etc
Now I've tried refreshing in every conceivable way. I clear out the $_POST array so the page should reload displaying information, but it doesn't. However my confirmation of queries being ran show that 0 rows updated, so its not triggering the sql but also isn't properly refreshing still.
I found a function that stored the last clicked tab in the browsers session, however when you switch files, it would skip to that tab. Instead I would want to show the default tab.
I even tried made a button that on click it goes to the proper url which is shown above. It works when I click it manually but does not work when I trigger it via javascript. Even goes to the appropriate tab.
I am updating the url in the address bar using the below function. Also using the latest version of chrome.
<script>
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({
activate: function(event, ui) {
window.location.replace('#' + $(ui.newPanel).attr('id'));
var curTab = $(ui.newPanel).attr('id');
console.log(curTab);
}
});
</script>
Why don't you instead of sending that number after <form_url>?<params>#3 send that number as a request param in the url, for example like this <form_url>?tab=3?

I would like to refresh the home page every X sec. I found this solution:
Install Auto Refresh Single Page plugin
Insert to header.php the lines:
if (is_front_page()) {
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5">' ;
}
It refreshes the page but I notice that the page is reloaded. I would like it to happen smoothly. I don't want the refresh to make the page disappear for milliseconds. I want to refresh without the user noticing.
I have a page build with Wordpress. This page have few divs. Part of them list post type - and I need i to updated in case a new post submitted. Some divs need to change according to time of the day or the week and display different data. The page need to show all the time like a TV and information should be update automatically with no human touch. I tried to use ajax, but I don't know how to point it to reload specific div that built from Wordpress - I have no URL for specific div.
Check this out
if (is_front_page()) {
?>
<script>
setTimeout(function() { window.location = ""; }, 1000); //1 sec = 1000
</script>
<?php
}
I read your question, And as i thinking, you want update your posts on users homepage without any reloading. This can be done using "AJAX PHP". You should find plugins that uses "AJAX PHP" or "AJAX JAVASCRIPT".I hope this would be useful for you.
I have a PHP page with implementation of jQuery horizontal tabs. I have added a jQuery script so that the page URL reflects the tab#. I have a form on the page and upon form submission I need to refresh and stay on this same page to include the jQuery correct tab number.
This is the code to add the jQuery tab number to the URL:
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$("<p>").html("Loaded at " + new Date()).appendTo(
document.body
);
showTab(location.hash || "#tabs-1");
$("#nav a").click(function() {
var hash = this.getAttribute("href");
if (hash.substring(0, 1) === "#") {
hash = hash.substring(1);
}
location.hash = hash;
showTab(hash);
return false;
});
function showTab(hash) {
$("div.tab").hide();
$("#tab-" + hash).show();
}
});
</script>
The full URL of the page is http://somedomain.com/includes/nonadmin_user_profile.php#tabs-5 and includes the tab number for the jQuery horizontal tab.
I am using this script to refresh and stay on the same page: echo "<script>window.location=window.location</script>";
On refresh here is the problem as it lands at this URL which does not include the tab number. http://somedomain.com/includes/nonadmin_user_profile.php
Any suggestions would be appreciated very much.
Here is another detail: The problem described above does not occur if I merely refresh the page with the browser refresh button or if I right click the page and refresh. In this instance the page refreshes and stays on the full url with the tab#.
Per Disaster Faster's request, the issue encountered was simply that the browser was not going to the desired location of the page. The form data was successfully submitted and correct page was loaded.
The solution to his issue was modifying the form's action attribute to include the location information (similar to adding location information to an anchor).
Original:
<form action="nonadmin_user_profile.php" method="post">
New:
<form action="nonadmin_user_profile.php#tabs-5" method="post">
Original Post:
The window.location = window.location redirect should include the location information.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6dqcmh9d/
If you click the button first, it'll report the URL with the location information because it hasn't been added to the URL. Then click the link and re-click the button. You'll receive the URL with the location information added.
If you want just the location information, you can use window.location.hash, but this will only produce the location on the page, not the URL of the page.
The problem you'll run into will be with the form submission. To submit a form without changing the page, you'll either have to submit the form to a new window (add target="_blank" to the form) or implement AJAX. In either case, we'd need a little more of your code to help with integrating it properly.
It is likely that the tab controls are being handled with onclick events or something similar, and are not listening for hash changes onload. You'll likely need to add some custom JS to force the tab change if there's a hash change.
What's wrong with using the reload() method?
document.location.reload(true);
From the docs:
The Location.reload() method Reloads the resource from the current
URL. Its optional unique parameter is a Boolean, which, when it is
true, causes the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is
false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its
cache.
If you need to integrate it into a PHP echo struct, use:
echo '<script>document.location.reload(true);</script>';
You should use reload() to refresh the page, eg:
window.location.reload();
Or given your example:
echo "<script>window.location.reload();</script>";
I have drawn a chess board in a php page. Every piece is set as draggable, and every tile as droppable. Once a piece is dropped on a tile, I'd like to reload the php page so the board can be drawn anew along with new positions.
How can I do that: reloading the php page with javascript, without displaying a window asking for confirmation such as "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. ->Cancel; Resend" ?
Or perhaps there are better solutions?
If you want to avoid having refresh reporting data (for any reason, including the user clicking the reload button) then use the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get). Read that, it will explain what to do.
Quick solution: you could try:
window.location.reload(true); //true sets request type to GET
Use GET, instead of POST and the dialog box you are getting will go away.
Good luck!
Make use of
window.location.reload();
will refresh automatically
<script>
var timer = null;
function auto_reload()
{
window.location = 'http://domain.com/page.php'; //your page location
}
</script>
<!-- Reload page every 10 seconds. -->
<body onload="timer = setTimeout('auto_reload()',10000);">

I'm a bit lost.
I have two pages; Results and Detail. Whenever user navigates from Detail to Results using the browser back button, Results page should refresh, this way I can show what product user just seen on Detail (like amazon does with recently viewed items)
I don't know if it is better to load page asynchronously,
or use setTimeout as seen here (the example below works, but page refreshes forever)
if(window.top==window) {
// you're not in a frame so you reload the site
window.setTimeout('location.reload()', 3000); //reloads after 3 seconds
} else {
//you're inside a frame, so you stop reloading
}
and when I try reloading just a div also doesn't work
$('#div-id').triggerevent(function(){
$('#div-id').html(newContent);
});
I've also came across a lot of examples leading to this but didn't managed to make it work.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you
The onload event should be fired when the user hits the back button. Elements not created via JavaScript will retain their values. I suggest keeping a backup of the data used in dynamically created element within an INPUT TYPE="hidden" or TEXTAREA set to display:none then onload using the value of the textbox to rebuild the dynamic elements to the way they were.
If you don't care about rebuilding the page and want to actually reload it, then you could do:
<input type="hidden" id="refreshed" value="no">
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=function(){
var e=document.getElementById("refreshed");
if(e.value=="no")e.value="yes";
else{e.value="no";location.reload();}
}
</script>
I believe you should reload the page asynchronously.
Maybe attaching the event ready to the body will work.
$(function(){
$('body').ready(function(){
alert('worked');
//Code to reload the page or data
});
});
I am making a function which searches the database for flight information. I want user to be redirected on "ticket.php" if the response is true. I want to update the content of the page "ticket.php" using jquery. But jquery doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong here ? Here's part of javascript. It's an external javascript. It's included in both "search.php" and "ticket.php" page. This function gets invoked by clicking on search button in "search.php" page.
if(data){
setTimeout("location.href = 'ticket.php';",3000); // Redirect to new page
//Change content of "ticket.php" using jquery.
$("#source").text(x);
$("#destination").text(y);
$("#date").text(z);
$("#no_person").text(person);
$("#trip_type").text(type);
}
else
$("#alert").text("Oops! No Flight matches your criteria ! ");
When you set location.href to ticket.php, the user is then redirected to that new page (ticket.php). Then the browser will load that new page and will no longer use the javascript you have on your current page.
You will have to make the data appear on ticket.php, using e.g. url parameters taken from what they searched like this:
window.location.href = 'ticket.php?from=norway&to=sweden';
The reason this is not working for you is because when you redirect to ticket.php the page is reloaded and all of the javascript on the page is refreshed, losing whatever value they had before. To keep the data you have to send the information to ticket.php
There are a couple of ways to accomplish this, ordered in preferred method.
all assuming you are requesting the page like this: ticket.php?from=norway&to=sweden
php on the page ticket.php
<?php
echo $_GET['from'];
echo $_GET['to'];
?>
javascript on the page ticket.php
solution for getting params from this post:https://stackoverflow.com/a/1404100/2033671
alert(getURLParameter('from'));
alert(getURLParameter('to'));
jQuery from a different page on the same domain
$.get('ticket.php',function(response){
$html = $(response);
$html.find("#destination").text(y);
$html.find("#source").text(x);
$("html").html($html);
});
