I've seen a lot of questions and answers here that help you too embed PDF documents, but they are all "vertical read", where you scroll down to see other pages.
Is there any plugin, or maybe even a simple script that would help you to embed and read the PDF document horizontaly? Like where you see two pages and click next on top to see the next two.
Just like a book. (No fancy animations though)
Thanks.
There are plugins that lets you read pdf documents. But they might be fancy.

I like the last one especially
You can set the initial view of a PDF to show two pages.
If you add Fullscreen view to that, and the user has not deactivated clicking to the next page, it actually should give the effect you want (not verified).
If the Fullscreen view does not work, your user would use the cursorLeft and cursorRight buttons to navigate.

I'm fairly new to web development so I don't have much experience with any of this. I currently have a navbar at the top of my website (made with Foundation), but I don't want it to reload every time the page reloads. I've noticed on several websites that certain parts of the page are kept in place when links are clicked and the url changes. How can I achieve this?
Thanks
There are several ways to achieve this. Using AJAX calls is one of them, iframe another. You could even create a one page application and show/hide elements when certain buttons are clicked. This will however force you to load all the data at once so I won't recommend that (depending on the website).
A small article about how you can use the iframe option.
A small article about the AJAX option, they include a small demo to show how it works.
You can set an <iframe> in your code and have the links in your nav target it. When you click on a link, the <iframe> will load the new content, but the rest of your page will not change.
This is not about loading Facebook asynchronously or any kind of optimization here but to load it as fast as possible rather than as slow as possible ;)
My website contains a LOT of images. And I need the Facebook Like button to show up as soon as possible. But it seems the button doesn't load: it waits for all the images to be loaded before loading itself. Since I have many images, of course the Like button shows up very late. If the connection is really slow, that might even take one minute. You can see the issue here: http://www.totorotimes.com.
Any idea how I could do this?
Thanks a lot!
Take all the javascript code that is for the social media buttons out of your body tags, put them in a file called: "social.js" and then insert that file right above all the js files in yourhead tag. This will make your buttons load before the actual web page loads.
I've seen some similar questions about this around here but I didn't see anything that might be able to help me here. I am making a web site and I want each page to fade in on load and fade out when someone clicks a link. I have that down with jQuery but between the pages there is a white flash before the pages load. I tried moving around my javascript but in some cases the page didn't load correctly. I'm a bit new to this so I may need a bit of explanation on any possible solutions.
Here is the live site:

The HTML is valid in 4.01 Transitional. I've heard about something like Ajax or pagination but I am unsure how to implement those or what I would have to do to put it in my site or if it would even be the most ideal solution. Thanks for any help!
Shouldn't you only update a portion of a page, not the whole page? Now you have many full scale pages with different file names. The page address changes so the whole page is loaded. It's like refreshing the current with ctrl+r/cmd+r page and that isn't very ajaxy.
One solution would be to have a master page which contains all of the common elements between pages such as header, footer and navigation bar. On that page you have a div (or some other area) where you load information dynamically from a different file. What info is loaded could be determined with GET variables via anchor tags or ajax form buttons.
See for example this link and it's demo.
http://www.queness.com/post/328/a-simple-ajax-driven-website-with-jqueryphp
It's pretty basic but it demonstrates the idea not to load the whole page but only a portion of it. Add some styles and you're ready to go.
Sorry if this doesn't help. Maybe there is a way to refresh the whole page without the white flash. Easy solution would be to change the background color to white but then again, it wouldn't be very ajaxy...
With do pagination you would have to return all pages right when the the user visits your index.php and then you would use javascript to show and hide the right divs as the user clicks the links in menu, that's not good in your case, it'll make the user wait for the entire site even if he's not willing to look at all of it.
AJAX seems the right way, and u can easily implement it with jQuery load method. Just to get you started:
$(function(){
$("a").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#pageContent").load($(this).attr("href"));
);
});
This should cause all your links to replace the content of the pageContent div with the content returned by the link without flashing the screen.
I want to show an English wikipedia article on the left side of the page and then show the Spanish version of that wikipedia article on the right side of the page.
Is there a way to do that with html, javascript, ajax, etc.?
I know I could use iframes, but it would be nice to have them scroll together (you scroll one, and the other scrolls... or just have one scroll bar for both) and follow links together (if a link is clicked on one page, the appropriate translated page goes in the other side(if it exists)).
Iframes are good to display pages from another domain and let users browse them within your page. However, there really isn't a way to detect click events within the content of an iframe if it is from another domain. This article explains why.
You basically have to find what page the iframe loaded, right? Even if you were to add an onload event on the iframe to check what page was loaded, even this is not allowed, I'm afraid.
An interesting concept. IF you are sure you want to load two webpages then iframe is your option. However, for the functionality that you desire, you have to use a custom scroll on one of the pages and traverse the second page by the same amount. Here is a sample for a single page custom scroll. Just use the same concept for the other page too.
Update : You can perhaps, have a look at this. The content stored in the databases can be access MediaWiki as far as i know. Use this to get the data specific to your link.
Hi.
I'm new to Java/AJAX etc.
I have a page with links down the left and a DIV on the right.
I want content (other pages) to load in the DIV when users click on the links on the left... beginner AJAX stuff I guess.
I played around with a few JQery plugins and found one that allows pages to load with a fade effect, which is perfect. I have a problem though:
The plugin works fine when I click links on the parent page, but when I click links in one of the loaded pages, after one link deep, it breaks out of the div and replaces my parent page. (This issue was described on the plugin page, supposedly solved, but is still cropping up on my page). I suspect it has something to do with the "bind" variable.
I've uploaded a stripped down example of my site here:
This is the plugin website: www.thecreativeoutfit.com/index.php?view=Simple-AJAX-Content-Changer-with-EZJax (Because I'm a new user I can't add any more links, sorry for the long-hand).
For those who are willing to look at my site or the plugin, I'd appreciate your insight.
If that's a hassle maybe you could recommend a similar simple ajax plugin that allows the loading of content with a fade-in effect, but also allows links within the loaded content to stay contained within the original div.
Many thanks!

I was going to post a comment but it got too long so, what the heck..
Your website worked just fine for me (except for the pages that were not available) in Firefox running on Windows XP.
However, I would strongly recommend against that type of design - it will be a pain for you to maintain in the long run and it is generally considered bad design because it is against the functioning principles of the web: different pages of your website should be represented by distinct URLs which users of your site could use to link to. It also breaks browser back button functionality which is a big usability issue (at least for me).
Plus, it will not be SEO friendly - which means that search engines like Google won't think highly of your website - which means that you won't show up in searches.
You nested pages are breaking because the JavaScript click events are not being reattached to the paging controls after the first page causing the normal href attribute to be used.
