Run javascript on website after refreshing

What I would like to achieve is this:
refresh website
run my javascript script on it (just as if I put it in Chrome console).
Question is: how to achieve it?
I can also use PHP for this (set server on my computer that wil be redirecting to the desired website and execute my javascript program on it).
Some example of functionality I want to achieve:
Go to stackoverflow.com -> click StackExchange (you can see it in the top left corner, it can be accessed by a querySelector() in JS) -> refresh stackoverflow.com -> click StackExchange again -> repeat...
If you want to refresh the page behind a DOM element click, you can attach an event handler to the element and then in your event handler execute location.reload() to reload the page.
//When the document has loaded, call the function
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
if(window.location.hash == "#page"){
console.log("Page reloaded!");
}else{
console.log("Page has a new hit!");
}
});
You can use DOMContentLoaded event listener to solve your problem.
You can do something like this -
var value = localStorage.getItem("logdata");
if(value != null) {
eval(value);
logdata();
}
And try to add logdata to localStorage from console.
Example - localStorage.setItem("logdata", "var logdata = function(e) { console.log('data logged.'); }");
Now when you load the page, logdata function will be called and you can have your code executed.

Prevent page from reloading after JQuery triggers

I'm currently trying to load a web page where complementary data is loaded through ajax when clicking on a "read more" button, but when the script is finished the page reloads. Any tip on how to prevent the page from reloading?
I tried event.preventDefault and return false; but that doesn't seem to work.
Here's my code:
window.setInterval(function () {
$('div.getmore').trigger('click');
return false;
}
, 1000);
The issue is not in your jQuery code that you pasted. Try using firebug console and click persist to make sure you see the javascript error even after page is loaded, you will then be able to find the real issue.
Try this , this should work
window.setInterval(function (e) {
$('div.getmore').trigger('click');
e.preventDefault()
e.stopPropagation()
}
, 1000);
You should preventDefault click on an a element. Not the div if it's inside the a:
<a href="google.com">
<div class="getmore">Get more</div>
</a>
$('a').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
});
// Your code

on click event inside pageinit only works after page refresh

I know there're a lot of duplicate questions out there, I checked almost all of them, but I just couldn't find a solution in my case. So, here's my problem:
I have a banner which will show on every page of the project, inside the banner there's a close button to close the banner, and a download button which leads user to the app store to download the app. My banner works perfect only except I have to refresh the page to get these two buttons works. Here's my code:
$(document).on("pageinit", function () {
$("#close").on("click", CloseBanner);
$("#download").on("click", SetAppStorePath);
//alert("pageinit");
});
function SetAppStorePath() {
if (isIOS) {
window.location = "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myapp/id.....";
}
else if (isAndroid) {
window.location = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=.....";
}
}
function CloseBanner() {
$('.banner').hide();
}
Here's the simplified html:
<div class="banner">
<div class="container">
<a id="close">×</a>
<a id="download">Download</a>
</div>
</div>
I did a little test, and found something tricky: I added that alert inside pageinit, I noticed that the alert is always executed(means my button on click events are always registered) when I jump from page A to page B. But when the button works, I see page A is gone, blank page shows, alert shows, then page B shows, the buttons work. When it doesn't work, the order is different, I still can see page A, then I see alert(I still can see page A now), then it changes to page B, the buttons don't work.
So seems that when pageinit executed after page jumped, it works,but sometimes pageinit executed before page jumped, then it doesn't work.
I think your elements are dynamically created. You may need event delegation.
$(document).on("pagecreate", function () {
$("body").on("click", "#close", CloseBanner);
$("body").on("click", "#download", SetAppStorePath);
});
Move following outside of the init and change it like following
$(document).on("click","#close", CloseBanner);
$(document).on("click","#download", SetAppStorePath);
when page init executes, DOM is not ready. that is the reason it is not binding to close or download elements. and this is the way to overcome that. you dont need pageinit event here

Closing an iframe after it has reloaded another html page

I have made the following site:
www.ppp.one
Whenever you open an image, a popup is loaded.
This popup can be closed using the X on the top-right. However, if you click on one of the thumbnails in the popup (reloading the frame) the X button can no longer close it.
The JavaScript I use:
function hide(){
if(currentIframe){
currentIframe.hide();
currentIframe = null;
}
popupBG.remove();
popup.remove();
}
And the html:
<a class="small align-top" onclick="frameWarp.hide();">&#10006</a>
Any ideas on what is causing the issue?
When you open the popup you call a function setUpAPI which inserts the frameWrap object into the global scope of the iframe.
When a thumbnail is clicked the frame is reloaded and the frameWrap instance is no longer available.
You could try listening for load events on the iframe instead of ready events:
iframe.ready(function(){
frameCacheDiv.append(iframe);
});
iframe.load(function(){
setUpAPI(iframe, settings);
settings.onShow();
});
It looks like when the iframe's URL changes the frameWarp variable becomes undefined. One idea to try would be to listen to the load event of the iframe and make your changes there: (you'd have to give it the ID of "iframeId")
$('#iframeId').load(function(){
console.log('URL changed');
// code to attach hide event here
});
Another idea would be to change your setup to use the postMessage API for the communication between the parent and iframe. You can read a tutorial of how to do that here:
http://robertnyman.com/html5/postMessage/postMessage.html
Edit: Actually, this blog post is a better example: http://davidwalsh.name/window-iframe

'onbeforeunload' Fires Twice

I want to send an ajax request when a user leaves a page or closes the window.
Here is my code inside :
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendajax(){
$.ajax({
url: "someurl",
data: mydata,
async : false
});
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onbeforeunload=function(){sendajax();};
</script>
When the event occurs the event fires twice.
Why does in happen?
I know I can prevent it by adding a variable var ajaxSent=true; but may be there is a cleaner way to do it?
UPD:
I replaced the sendajax function content with some other code (without sending ajax) and found out that ajax is not the one causing the problem. It still enters the function twice.
Based on the code in your edit and comments, it looks like it could simply be caused by the broken link you are clicking to leave the page.
Given the following code:
<script>
function doSomething() { console.log('onbeforeunload fired'); }
window.onbeforeunload = doSomething;
</script>
link A
link B
If I click on link A, I get two console log entries, if I click on link B I only get one.
It looks like it could be a quirk of how the browsers handle their internal "This web page has not been found" pages, causing your page to be refreshed and closed again before showing the message, leaving you with two occurrences of the onbeforeunload event.
I had the same problem and it took a while to understand and resolve, sharing the case details:
There was a custom JS within our template that manipulated the menu.
It caused the unload to fire twice, only when clicking on the menu links, not on other links, and only in IE/EDGE.
We eventually stopped the propagation on these links and the problem was resolved.
$('.SELECTOR a[href^="http://"]').on('click', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
It's a specific bug in your application, therefore you won't find too much information on google.
You could try the following code:
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
window.onbeforeunload=function sendajax(){<br>
$.ajax({<br>
url: "someurl",<br>
data: mydata,<br>
async : false<br>
});<br>
};<br>
</script>
or you can define sendajax() {} at some place and the use it like onbeforeunload = "sendajax()" not as onbeforeunload = "function () { sendajax() }"
beforeUnload is cancellable
I know this post is quite old but from the Chrome Pagelifecycle API documentation, browsers can occasionally partially unload pages to save resources. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/page-lifecycle-api beforeUnload is not reliable to make sure that the page is closed. This especially happens on android devices when the screen is locked.
There is a jsfiddle that I found somebody wrote that you can test out https://jsfiddle.net/ov6b9pdL/. Keep the screen locked for 5-10 minutes on Chrome android and you'll see that beforeUnload is fired without even closing the tab.
$(document).ready(function() {
window.addEventListener('beforeunload', showLoader);
});
var showLoader = function() {
$('#loader').show();
};
Agree with AlonMichaeli's concept.
In my application there was anchor tag wrapped with in a div together with couple of spans. When Anchor was clicked on a dirty page, there was couple of 'Leave site' notifications.
It worked fine if any other part of menuItem (div or spans) are clicked.
So in custom javascript method I've added stopped propagation and preventDefault only if anchor tag is clicked. Somehow in this case preventDefault is necessary.
function menuItemClicked(event: JQueryEventObject) {
var item = $(event.target);
if (item.is(".anchor-item")) {
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
}
href = item.closest(".anchor-item").attr("href");
if (!event.ctrlKey && href) {
window.location.href = href;
}
}
