I want home.html to load in <div id="content">.
<div id="topBar"> HOME </div>
<div id ="content"> </div>
<script>
function load_home(){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="type/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}
</script>
This works fine when I use Firefox. When I use Google Chrome, it asks for plug-in. How do I get it working in Google Chrome?
I finally found the answer to my problem. The solution is
function load_home() {
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}
Fetch API
function load_home (e) {
(e || window.event).preventDefault();
fetch("http://www.yoursite.com/home.html" /*, options */)
.then((response) => response.text())
.then((html) => {
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = html;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.warn(error);
});
}
XHR API
function load_home (e) {
(e || window.event).preventDefault();
var con = document.getElementById('content')
, xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function (e) {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
con.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
}
}
xhr.open("GET", "http://www.yoursite.com/home.html", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'text/html');
xhr.send();
}
based on your constraints you should use ajax and make sure that your javascript is loaded before the markup that calls the load_home() function

MDN - Using Fetch
JSFIDDLE demo
You can use the jQuery load function:
<div id="topBar">
HOME
</div>
<div id ="content">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#load_home").on("click", function() {
$("#content").load("content.html");
});
});
</script>
Sorry. Edited for the on click instead of on load.
Fetching HTML the modern Javascript way
This approach makes use of modern Javascript features like async/await and the fetch API. It downloads HTML as text and then feeds it to the innerHTML of your container element.
/**
* #param {String} url - address for the HTML to fetch
* #return {String} the resulting HTML string fragment
*/
async function fetchHtmlAsText(url) {
return await (await fetch(url)).text();
}
// this is your `load_home() function`
async function loadHome() {
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
contentDiv.innerHTML = await fetchHtmlAsText("home.html");
}
The await (await fetch(url)).text() may seem a bit tricky, but it's easy to explain. It has two asynchronous steps and you could rewrite that function like this:
async function fetchHtmlAsText(url) {
const response = await fetch(url);
return await response.text();
}
See the fetch API documentation for more details.
I saw this and thought it looked quite nice so I ran some tests on it.
It may seem like a clean approach, but in terms of performance it is lagging by 50% compared by the time it took to load a page with jQuery load function or using the vanilla javascript approach of XMLHttpRequest which were roughly similar to each other.
I imagine this is because under the hood it gets the page in the exact same fashion but it also has to deal with constructing a whole new HTMLElement object as well.
In summary I suggest using jQuery. The syntax is about as easy to use as it can be and it has a nicely structured call back for you to use. It is also relatively fast. The vanilla approach may be faster by an unnoticeable few milliseconds, but the syntax is confusing. I would only use this in an environment where I didn't have access to jQuery.
Here is the code I used to test - it is fairly rudimentary but the times came back very consistent across multiple tries so I would say precise to around +- 5ms in each case. Tests were run in Chrome from my own home server:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content"></div>
<script>
/**
* Test harness to find out the best method for dynamically loading a
* html page into your app.
*/
var test_times = {};
var test_page = 'testpage.htm';
var content_div = document.getElementById('content');
// TEST 1 = use jQuery to load in testpage.htm and time it.
/*
function test_()
{
var start = new Date().getTime();
$(content_div).load(test_page, function() {
alert(new Date().getTime() - start);
});
}
// 1044
*/
// TEST 2 = use <object> to load in testpage.htm and time it.
/*
function test_()
{
start = new Date().getTime();
content_div.innerHTML = '<object type="text/html" data="' + test_page +
'" onload="alert(new Date().getTime() - start)"></object>'
}
//1579
*/
// TEST 3 = use httpObject to load in testpage.htm and time it.
function test_()
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
{
content_div.innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;
alert(new Date().getTime() - start);
}
};
start = new Date().getTime();
xmlHttp.open("GET", test_page, true); // true for asynchronous
xmlHttp.send(null);
// 1039
}
// Main - run tests
test_();
</script>
</body>
</html>
try
async function load_home(){
content.innerHTML = await (await fetch('home.html')).text();
}
async function load_home() {
let url = 'https://kamil-kielczewski.github.io/fractals/mandelbulb.html'
content.innerHTML = await (await fetch(url)).text();
}
<div id="topBar"> HOME </div>
<div id="content"> </div>
When using
$("#content").load("content.html");
Then remember that you can not "debug" in chrome locally, because XMLHttpRequest cannot load -- This does NOT mean that it does not work, it just means that you need to test your code on same domain aka. your server
You can use the jQuery :
$("#topBar").on("click",function(){
$("#content").load("content.html");
});
$("button").click(function() {
$("#target_div").load("requesting_page_url.html");
});
or
document.getElementById("target_div").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="requesting_page_url.html"></object>';
<script>
var insertHtml = function (selector, argHtml) {
$(document).ready(function(){
$(selector).load(argHtml);
});
var targetElem = document.querySelector(selector);
targetElem.innerHTML = html;
};
var sliderHtml="snippets/slider.html";//url of slider html
var items="snippets/menuItems.html";
insertHtml("#main",sliderHtml);
insertHtml("#main2",items);
</script>
this one worked for me when I tried to add a snippet of HTML to my main.html.
Please don't forget to add ajax in your code
pass class or id as a selector and the link to the HTML snippet as argHtml
There is this plugin on github that load content into an element. Here is the repo
https://github.com/abdi0987/ViaJS
load html form a remote page ( where we have CORS access )
parse the result-html for a specific portion of the page
insert that part of the page in a div on current-page
//load page via jquery-ajax
$.ajax({
url: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17636528/how-do-i-load-an-html-page-in-a-div-using-javascript",
context: document.body
}).done(function(data) {
//the previous request fails beceaus we dont have CORS on this url.... just for illlustration...
//get a list of DOM-Nodes
var dom_nodes = $($.parseHTML(data));
//find the question-header
var content = dom_nodes.find('#question-header');
//create a new div and set the question-header as it's content
var newEl = document.createElement("div");
$(newEl).html(content.html());
//on our page, insert it in div with id 'inserthere'
$("[id$='inserthere']").append(newEl);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p>part-result from other page:</p>
<div id="inserthere"></div>
Use this simple code
<div w3-include-HTML="content.html"></div>
<script>w3.includeHTML();</script>
</body>```
This is usually needed when you want to include header.php or whatever page.
In Javascript it's easy especially if you have HTML page and don't want to use php include function but at all you should write php function and add it as Javascript function in script tag.
In this case you should write it without function followed by name Just. Script rage the function word and start the include header.php
i.e convert the php include function to Javascript function in script tag and place all your content in that included file.
I use jquery, I found it easier
$(function() {
$("#navigation").load("navbar.html");
});
in a separate file and then load javascript file on html page
showhide.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHide(switchTextDiv, showHideDiv)
{
var std = document.getElementById(switchTextDiv);
var shd = document.getElementById(showHideDiv);
if (shd.style.display == "block")
{
shd.style.display = "none";
std.innerHTML = "<span style=\"display: block; background-color: yellow\">Show</span>";
}
else
{
if (shd.innerHTML.length <= 0)
{
shd.innerHTML = "<object width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" type=\"text/html\" data=\"showhide_embedded.html\"></object>";
}
shd.style.display = "block";
std.innerHTML = "<span style=\"display: block; background-color: yellow\">Hide</span>";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id="switchTextDiv1" href="javascript:showHide('switchTextDiv1', 'showHideDiv1')">
<span style="display: block; background-color: yellow">Show</span>
</a>
<div id="showHideDiv1" style="display: none; width: 100%; height: 300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
showhide_embedded.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
var ts = document.getElementById("theString");
ts.scrollIntoView(true);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<pre>
some text 1
some text 2
some text 3
some text 4
some text 5
<span id="theString" style="background-color: yellow">some text 6 highlight</span>
some text 7
some text 8
some text 9
</pre>
</body>
</html>
If your html file resides locally then go for iframe instead of the tag. tags do not work cross-browser, and are mostly used for Flash
For ex : <iframe src="home.html" width="100" height="100"/>
I have a JavaScript program that gets the last modified date of a txt file. The code works fine in Firefox but for some reason, it does nothing in IE11. My code is listed below.
JavaScript code:
function getLastMod(){
var myFrm = document.getElementById('myIframe');
var lastMod = new Date(myFrm.contentWindow.document.lastModified);
var getSpan = document.getElementById('LastModified');
getSpan.innerHTML += "<font color=red> (File Last Updated: " + lastMod.toLocaleString() + ")</font>";
}
HTML code:
<span id="LastModified"></span>
<iframe id="myIframe" onload="getLastMod()" src="date.txt" style="display:none;"></iframe>
I had a similar issue when I tried to define the event in the tag. I had better results assigning the event from within javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('myIframe').onload = function() {
getLastMod();
}
</script>
I'm trying to handle translations with Mustache.js and it works fine for some part of the code but not for another part.
<script>
function MyFunction() {
// If a submit button is pressed, do some stuff and run this function to display the result
var tmpText = "";
tmpText = "<b>{{someTextInJSfunction}}</b>"; // this is NOT OK
document.getElementById("totalText").innerHTML = tmpText;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="sampleArea">
</div>
<script id="personTpl" type="text/template">
<span id="totalText"></span></p>
<b>{{ImpNotice}}</b> {{Contact}} // this is OK
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/mustache.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
var lang = 'en_us';
$.getJSON('json/'+lang+'.json', function(data) {
var template = $('#personTpl').html();
var html = Mustache.to_html(template, data);
$('#sampleArea').html(html);
});
});
</script>
When I click a Submit button, my JS function is called and depending on some calculation, some text should be displayed in the page. This is the part that doesn't work, {{someTextInJSfunction}} is displayed instead of the actual content of {{someTextInJSfunction}}.
The content of {{ImpNotice}} and {{Contact}} is correctly displayed because I assume the variables are located in the <script id="personTpl"> tags.
I'm not sure how to fix it for the variables located in my JS functions, such as {{someTextInJSfunction}}.
In order to write the HTML code of social icons (Twitter, Linkedin, etc) to a textarea so that the user can use that code elsewhere, I would like to get the HTML code of the view element, but I'm having some issues. To help illustrate this better, here is the code that creates the view:
define(function(require, exports, module) {
var _ = require('underscore');
var GridControlView = require('pb/views/grid-control');
var SocialiconsControlDialog = require('pb/views/socialicons-control-dialog');
var template = require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control.html');
var SocialiconsGridControlView = GridControlView.extend({
template: _.template(template)
,templateVars: {
partials: {
facebook: require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control-facebook.html')
,twitter: require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control-twitter.html')
,googleplus: require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control-googleplus.html')
,pinterest: require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control-pinterest.html')
,linkedin: require('text!pb/templates/socialicons-grid-control-linkedin.html')
}
}
,control_dialog: SocialiconsControlDialog
});
return SocialiconsGridControlView;
});
And, for example, the Linkedin template looks like this:
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js?<%- t.cache_buster %>" type="text/javascript">lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-counter="<%- t.linkedin_option_countmode %>"></script>
What I would like to retrieve, is the parsed template code as text, something such as:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js?0.4670609195438331">
<script data-counter="top" type="IN/Share+init">
But using something such as:
control_view.render().$el.innerHTML;, control_view.render().$el.html().text() or control_view.render().$el.html().replace(/<\/?[a-z][a-z0-9]*[^<>]*>/ig, ""); doesn't return text; it returns the full HTML, and produces a Linkedin icon (when I just want the text to be written to a textarea).
Any thoughts?
Update **
I noticed that the code control_view.render().$el is working correctly on other places of the application, and returning HTML code, but for some reason in this view where I'm trying it doesn't. The code seems to break at:
$control = control_view.render().el;
and in the console I get an error which is:
TypeError: t is undefined - underscore-min.js (line 3)
Use the .outerHTML property of the $el.
var html = $('<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js?0.4670609195438331">' +
'<script data-counter="top" type="IN/Share+init">');
var text = html[0].outerHTML;
$('textarea').val(text);

I'm trying to create two separate HTML documents: main.html and sufler.html. Idea is to control sufler.html page from main.html . So far I succeeded to write text and change it's font style. But font style changes only ONE time...
I need it to be able to change many times, can't understand what is going on,
because, as I understanding, every time I calling function writing(), I'm clearing all new document's content with newDoc.body.innerHTML = ''... but it seems that not... although text is changing every time.
main.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var HTMLstringPage1 = '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><link href="stilius.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head><body>',
HTMLstringPage2 = '</body></html>',
HTMLstringDiv1 = '<div id="sufler"><div id="mov"><p id="flip">',
HTMLstringDiv2 = '</p></div></div>';
//NEW WINDOW OPEN--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var newWindow = window.open('suffler.html','_blank','toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, height=615,width=815');
var newDoc = newWindow.document;
newDoc.write(HTMLstringPage1,HTMLstringDiv1+'Text'+HTMLstringDiv2,HTMLstringPage2);
var script = newDoc.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
//=======================================================================================================================
//WRITING----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function writing(){
newText = document.getElementById("sel-1").value.replace(/\n/gi, "</br>");
fontas= document.getElementById("textFont").value;
size= document.getElementById("textSyze").value;
stylas= document.getElementById("textStyle").value;
syntax= document.getElementById("textSyntax").value;
newDoc.body.innerHTML = '';//clears old text (should clear old scripts and functions too)
newDoc.write(HTMLstringPage1,HTMLstringDiv1,newText,HTMLstringDiv2,HTMLstringPage2);//writes new text (and new scripts and functions)
var text = newDoc.createTextNode('document.getElementById("flip").style.font="'+stylas+' '+syntax+' '+size+'px '+fontas+'";');
script.appendChild(text);
newDoc.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(script);
}
//=======================================================================================================================
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" style="background-color: #F5FF25;" onclick="writing()">Apply text</button>
</body>
</html>
Any one node can only be added to the document once. You only define script once but trying to add it to the DOM multiple times. Put the var script = ... line inside writing().
