shorthand for .load() ajax links with loader

here's the structure of the code: http://jsfiddle.net/ss1ef7sq/
although it's not really working at js fiddle but the code itself is working as i've tested it locally through firefox.
this is where i've based this on: http://html.net/tutorials/javascript/lesson21.php
jquery/ajax:
$('#ep-101').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep101').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-102').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep102').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-103').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep103').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-104').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep104').hide().fadeIn(800);});
$('#ep-105').click(function(){$('.main-container').load('link.html #ep105').hide().fadeIn(800);});
so my question is, is there a way to make it like a shorter code where it can just get the value of those #10ns or assuming that there will be a different page with it's own nest of unique ids without typing them individually? there's still a lot i don't understand with ajax so i'd appreciate it if anyone can help & explain at least the gist of it as well.
i've looked around online but i'm really stuck. i also at least found out that it's possible to add transitions but the way it's coded there is that it will only have the transition for the incoming page & not the one that will be replaced. i also have a prob with page loaders effects but i'll save it for when i'm stuck there as well.
thanks in advance. =)

Use classes instead of id's. Set href attribute which you want to load on click and access it via $(this).attr('href').
<a class="load-me" href="link1.html">link 1</a>
<a class="load-me" href="link2.html">link 2</a>
...
Script:
$('.load-me').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.main-container').hide().load($(this).attr('href'), function() {
// ...
$(this).fadeIn(800);
})
});
JSFiddle
If you need the load to wait container hiding animation, you could make it other way.
$('.load-me').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// get the url from clicked anchor tag
var url = $(this).attr('href');
// fade out the container and wait for animation complete
$('.main-container').fadeOut(200, /* animation complete callback: */ function(){
// container is hidden, load content:
$(this).load(url, /* load complete callback: */ function() {
// content is loaded, show container up
$(this).slideDown(200);
});
});
});

NivoSlider - Disable Right Click

I have been asked to put in place disabling of the right clicks on a website, I've informed them there is so many ways that people can still download the images via Google Images, Cache, Firebug etc etc, but none the less my arguments have gone ignored and they insist this must be done.
Any, I've put in the footer some code that disables right clicking on all elements using <IMG src=""> this fails to work on NivoSlider, I did change the script to use window load on disabling the right click which works but after slide1 it stops working and I assume this is something to do with changes to the DOM.
JavaScript is by far my weakest point and I'm hoping that someone without to much trouble can either give me a full working solution or something to go on. Thanks in Advance.
They are using NivoSlider with the following trigger:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
And this is the code that I've placed in the footer that fails to work on slide2+
<script>
$(window).load(function() {
$('img').bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
return false;
});
});
</script>

You're absolutely right with the DOM changes. You need to delegate the event to a parent element.
Try something like this:
$('#slider').delegate('img', 'contextmenu', function(e) {
return false;
});
Or this if using jQuery > 1.7:
$('#slider').on('contextmenu', 'img', function(e) {
return false;
});

You might be able to do it by preventing the default behaviour of a right click on the image.

jQuery toggle() prevents loading of image

I'm new to jQuery and found the toggle function really attractive. I wanted an image to switch to different image after a click and back again, like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#expand").toggle(function(){
$(this).attr("src","images/expandWidget.png");
},function(){
$(this).attr("src", "images/minimizeWidget.png");
});
}); // end ready
And the image itself is declared like this:
<img id="expand" src="images/minimizeWidget.png"></img></div>
I notice that when I ran this through Chrome, the image changed to:
<img id="expand" src="images/minimizeWidget.png" style="display: none;">
And my image did not show. Why did Chrome do that? If I instead change the toggle to click(), my image shows without a problem and I can switch to a different image, but not back of course. I have no errors in the console and the page doesn't import other styles that would affect img. Am I using the toggle incorrectly? Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks

Instead of toggle use .click()
LIVE DEMO
var images = ["images/expandWidget.png", "images/minimizeWidget.png"], c=0;
$("#expand").click(function(){
this.src = images[++c%2];
});

You've misunderstood what jQuery toggle does.
It 'toggles' the visibility of an element, hence it disappearing. It's not the greatest name admittedly, but we all used to have to write our own version of the toggle method inside .click().
See the documentation:
http://api.jquery.com/toggle/
You probably want something like:
$("#expand").click(function(){
if($(this).attr("src") == "images/expandWidget.png") {
$(this).attr("src", "images/minimizeWidget.png");
} else {
$(this).attr("src","images/expandWidget.png");
}
});

Manually Advancing Orbit Slider

I'm using the Zurb 'Orbit' Javascript slider, http://www.zurb.com/playground/orbit-jquery-image-slider, and I'd like to fire my own javascript at it to manually advance the slider left or right.
Basically, I'd like to fill it with my content, then have that content 'slide' in an out of view depending on a user interactions with the page as a whole, not only on a timer function or clicking a navigational image as already provided by the library.
So if I have a link named 'myLink', then something like this...
$('#myLink').click(function() {
... code to advance javascript slider...
$('#content').orbit(?????);
});
Failing that, my 'content' is going to be an html form and other similar stuff, anyone know a good free library that already does what I want?

Get a reference to the orbit object using "afterLoadComplete":
var myOrbit;
$(".orbitSlides").orbit({
afterLoadComplete: function() {
myOrbit = this;
}
});
Then use the 'shift' function to change slides:
myOrbit.shift(1);
or
myOrbit.shift('prev');
or
myOrbit.shift('next');

The easiest way would be
$(".slider-nav .right").click();
to simulate the arrow being clicked. Change if necessary to account for using the bullet-navigation option.
I don't think you're going to get anything more elegant than that, because the plugin doesn't expose an API of any sort - it's all privately closured up in the plugin.

I use this
$('#next').click(function(){
$('#rotator').trigger("orbit.next");
})
$('#prev').click(function(){
$('#rotator').trigger("orbit.prev");
})
assuming the div #rotator is the orbit slider.

I couldn't get some of these other answers to work. I know it's a little hacky but I found this easiest:
HTML:
<p id='back'>Back</p>
<p id='next'>Next</p>
CSS: (if you use the built-in navigation_arrows: false;, navigation arrows are removed and can no longer be manipulated, so visibility: hidden; to the rescue!)
.orbit-prev, .orbit-next {
visibility: hidden;
}
jQuery:
$('#back').on('click', function() {
$('.orbit-next').click();
});
$('#next').on('click', function() {
$('.orbit-prev').click();
});

Unable to show the div on body load

This is my code posted in a jsfiddle Demo.
As you can see when you click on the
Hyderabad.
Visakhapatnam.
Then a Horizontal Image slider is shown ( YOu can slide throgh the Pictures )
Now my requirement is I need to also show the Image slider on body load itself also
I have tried using body onload function to show the div , and also in Jquery ready function , and by commenting all the hide() functions in javascript , but none of them really worked .
Could anybody please tell me what is the way to do this .

I just tested it.. first I thought that you should just do this:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$fp_galleries.first().click();
});
but poorly this will only show the first image and not all images.
I don't know why but it looks like you should do this.
$(window).load(function() {
/* your code */
$fp_galleries.first().click();
});
Maybe because you need to wait until the images are loaded.

perhaps use document on ready to call the function: http://api.jquery.com/ready/
$(document).ready(function() {
openGallery(galleryname){
})
;

The problem is not that it is hidden, its rather that the content are only generated by som javascript when the user clicks one of your links.
You could add something like
$("li",$fp_galleries).first().click()
at the bottom of your script.
This will trigger the click event on one of the links.
