Dynamically Adding HTML into an iFrame - Javascript - javascript

I'm attempting to dynamically create an iFrame and add HTML into it from the current document. The iFrame gets created successfully, but when the function gets to the point where it needs to add the HTML in, it doesn't do it.
Here's my code:
function createiFrame(min, max, key) {
console.log("Max-Width", max);
//CREATING A CLASS FOR THE IFRAME
var iframeClass = key + "-" + max;
//var path = window.location.pathname;
//var page = path.split("/").pop();
//ADDING AN IFRAME INTO THE DOCUMENT AND ADDING ON THE CLASS
$(document).ready(function() {
$('<iframe>', {
width: max
}).addClass(iframeClass).prependTo('body');
});
var requiredHTML = document.getElementById('container').innerHTML;
console.log("RequiredHTML", requiredHTML);
//ADDING THE COLLECTED HTML INTO THE IFRAME -- THIS IS WHERE
//IT STOPS WORKING
$('.' + iframeClass).ready(function() {
console.log("iFrame ready");
$('.' + iframeClass).contents().find('body').html("<p>Testing it out</p>");
});
var $head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].innerHTML;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.' + iframeClass).contents().find('head').append($head);
});
}
EDIT
I've realised this problem is occurring because when I try to run that code, the DOM isn't ready yet.
So new question;
How do I get the DOM ready?

check out this post:
addEventListener to iFrame
you need to use
$('#myIFrame').load(function(){
....

$('.' + iframeClass).ready(function() {
...
}
Doesn't work because an iframe being ready doesn't trigger the Event 'DOMContentLoaded' which .ready() is waiting for. You'll need to refer directly to a document, which will then trigger the DOMContentLoaded event. This should work based on that.
$(iframeClass document).ready(function() {
...
}
I will stress though that this isn't something that I've tried before, but it seems like it's just a matter of which document you're referring to.

Check if all/multiple iframes are loaded

I am currently trying to run a function when all iframes on the page are loaded. I am using jQuery, but it only works when there is one iframe on the page. Once I start having mutiple iframes my functionality stops working. Here is the code im working with:
$('iframe.preview-iframe').on( 'load', function() {
$('iframe.preview-iframe').contents().find('section[rowposition] a').each(function(){
// Append a span tag with the href of the according content a tag
$(this).append('<span style="position:absolute;left:0;color:red;background:yellow;">' + $(this).attr('href') + '</span>');
});
});
Do I need to write a loop that looks over how many iframes I have and then only run the script once the last iframe is loaded or is there some other way to do it?=
You can do something like the following:
Get all the iframes elements in a variable
Loop through each of the iframes and if all of them are loaded, execute your required code.
$(window).on('load', function() {
var iframes = $('iframe');
var loaded = 0;
iframes.each(function() {
$(this).on('load', function() {
loaded++;
if (loaded == iframes.length) {
// run your code here
$('iframe').each(function() {
$(this).contents().find('section[rowposition] a').each(function() {
// Append a span tag with the href of the according content a tag
$(this).append('<span style="position:absolute;left:0;color:red;background:yellow;">' + $(this).attr('href') + '</span>');
});
});
}
});
});
});

Jquery .change() event fires only once

So I'm fairly novice with jquery and js, so I apologise if this is a stupid error but after researching I can't figure it out.
So I have a list of data loaded initially in a template, one part of which is a dropdown box that lets you filter the data. My issue is that the filtering only works once? As in, the .change function inside $(document).ready() only fires the once.
There are two ways to reload the data, either click the logo and reload it all, or use the search bar. Doing either of these at any time also means the .change function never fires again. Not until you refresh the page.
var list_template, article_template, modal_template;
var current_article = list.heroes[0];
function showTemplate(template, data)
{
var html = template(data);
$("#content").html(html);
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
var source = $("#list-template").html();
list_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
source = $("#article-template").html();
article_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
source = $("#modal-template").html();
modal_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
showTemplate(list_template,list);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = list.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
$("#classFilter").change(function()
{
console.log("WOW!");
var classToFilter = this.value;
var filteredData =
{
heroes: list.heroes.filter(function(d)
{
if (d.heroClass.search(classToFilter) > -1)
{
return true;
}
return false;
})
};
console.log(filteredData);
showTemplate(list_template,filteredData);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = filteredData.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
});
$("#searchbox").keypress(function (e)
{
if(e.which == 13)
{
var rawSearchText = $('#searchbox').val();
var search_text = rawSearchText.toLowerCase();
var filteredData =
{
heroes: list.heroes.filter(function(d)
{
if (d.name.search(search_text) > -1)
{
return true;
}
return false;
})
};
console.log(filteredData);
showTemplate(list_template,filteredData);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = filteredData.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
}
});
$("#logo").click(function()
{
showTemplate(list_template,list);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = list.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
});
//$("#logo").click();
});
function displayModal(event)
{
var imageNumber = $(this).data("id");
console.log(imageNumber);
var html = modal_template(current_article.article[0].vicPose[imageNumber]);
$('#modal-container').html(html);
$("#imageModal").modal('show');
}
I should note two things: first, that the search bar works perfectly, and the anonymous function inside both of them is nearly identical, and like I said, the filtering works perfectly if you try it after the initial load. The second is that the same problem occurs replacing .change(anonymous function) with .on("change",anonymous function)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I agree with Fernando Urban's answer, but it doesn't actually explain what's going on.
You've created a handler attached to an HTML element (id="classFilter") which causes part of the HTML to be rewritten. I suspect that the handler overwrites the HTML which contains the element with the handler on it. So after this the user is clicking on a new HTML element, which looks like the old one but doesn't have a handler.
There are two ways round this. You could add code inside the handler which adds the handler to the new element which has just been created. In this case, that would mean making the handler a named function which refers to itself. Or (the easier way) you could do what Fernando did. If you do this, the event handler is attached to the body, but it only responds to clicks on the #classFilter element inside the body. In other words, when the user clicks anywhere on the body, jQuery checks whether the click happened on a body #classFilter element. This way, it doesn't matter whether the #classFilter existed when the handler was set. See "Direct and delegated events" in jQuery docs for .on method.
Try to use some reference like 'body' in the event listeners inside your DOM like:
$('body').on('click','.articleButton', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('click','#classFilter', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('keypress','#searchbox', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('click','#logo', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
This will work that you can fire it more than once.

Access to every iframe child

I'm working with a client proyect which is working with lot's of iframes inside others.
The problem is that I want to add an addEventListener in all iframes automatically from the absolute parent document, an example schema would be this:
Document: iframe1, iframe2
Iframe1: iframe1.1, iframe1.2
Iframe1.1: iframe.1.1.1, iframe 1.1.2
I want to simulate something like this:
iframes[i].contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[i]
I wrote this code, but I have an "undefined" error:
window.onload=function(){
eventoIframe(document,null,1);
}
var eventoIframe=function(target,prev_target,lvl){
console.log('Ejecuto funcion por '+lvl+' vez');
var iframes=target.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
if(lvl>2){
var iframes=prev_target.target.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
}
if(iframes.length>0){
for(var i=0;i<=iframes.length-1;i++){
var iframe=iframes[i].contentWindow;
iframe.addEventListener("click",function(event){
console.log('click on:', event.target)
},false);
eventoIframe(iframe.document,target,lvl+1);
}
}
}
Okay, I found the mistake, I don't know why I wanted to know the prev target hehe
The solution is
window.onload=function(){
eventoIframe(document);
}
var eventoIframe=function(target){
var iframes=target.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
if(iframes.length>0){
for(var i=0;i<=iframes.length-1;i++){
var iframe=iframes[i].contentWindow;
iframe.addEventListener("click",function(event){
//code to be execute on each iframe
},false);
eventoIframe(iframe.document);
}
}
}

How to determine if content in popup window is loaded

I need to set some contextData for a popup window from its parent. I try this:
var some contextData = {};
$(function() {
$('#clickme').click(function() {
var w = window.open('http://jsfiddle.net');
w.contextData = contextData
//w.context data is null in the popup after the page loads - seems to get overwritten/deleted
});
});
It doesn't work, so my next thought, wait until content is loaded
var some contextData = {};
$(function() {
$('#clickme').click(function() {
var w = window.open('http://jsfiddle.net');
w.onload = function() {
//Never Fires
w.contextData = contextData;
}
});
});
See this fiddle. My onload method never fires.
This works:
var some contextData = {};
$(function() {
$('#clickme').click(function() {
var w = window.open('http://jsfiddle.net');
setTimeout(function(){
if(w.someVariableSetByThePageBeingLoaded) {
w.contextData = contextData;
}
else{
setTimeout(arguments.callee, 1);
}
}, 1);
});
});
But has obvious elegance problems (but is the current work around).
I know you can go the other way (have the popup call back to a method on the opener/parent, but this forces me to maintain some way of looking up context (and I have to pass the key to the context to the popup in the query string). The current method lets me capture the context in a closure, making my popup a much more reusable piece of code.
I am not trying to do this cross domain - both the parent and popup are in the same domain, although the parent is an iframe (hard to test with jsfiddle).
Suggestions?
If you are doing this with an iframe try it this way
HTML
<button id="clickme">Click Me</button>
<iframe id="framer"></iframe>
​
Javascript
$(function() {
$('#clickme').click(function() {
$("#framer").attr("src","http://jsfiddle.net");
$("#framer")[0].onload = function(){
alert('loaded');
};
});
});​
I updated your jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/HNvn3/2/
EDIT
Since the above is completely wrong this might point you in the right direction but it needs to be tried in the real environment to see if it works.
The global variable frames should be set and if you
window.open("http://jsfiddle.net","child_window");
frames["child_window"] might refer to the other window
I got javascript access errors when trying it in jsfiddle - so this might be the right track
EDIT2
Trying out on my local dev box I was able to make this work
var w = window.open("http://localhost");
w.window.onload = function(){
alert("here");
};
the alert() happened in the parent window

document ready after dom manipulation

I'm doing an application with Phonegap and I'm using a self-built slide transition to change the pages.
It works like this:
Every page is a div with 100% height and width, so if I change the Page, I set the next div right to the currently active and slide both to the left side.
Now to the Problem: the sliding works fine, but it's executed before the content of the right div is completely loaded. So the right div slides in empty, and only after a few hundred miliseconds the content will appear.
I tried it with document.ready, but as I've read this event is only executed the first time the DOM is loaded.
Does anybody know how I can wait for the DOM to be completely rendered again after I've manipulated the DOM with Javascript?
In your case, you can pick one element in the content of the next div and keep checking it with $(...).length. If the value is > 0, the DOM is loaded and you can change the page.
You may want to try this function:
Function.prototype.deferUntil = function(condition, timeLimit) {
var ret = condition();
if (ret) {
this(ret);
return null;
}
var self = this, interval = null, time = ( + new Date());
interval = setInterval(function() {
ret = condition();
if (!ret) {
if (timeLimit && (new Date() - time) >= timeLimit) {
// Nothing
} else {
return;
}
}
interval && clearInterval(interval);
self(ret);
}, 20);
return interval;
};
Usage:
(function() {
console.log('Next page loaded');
}).deferUntil(function() {
return $('#nextDiv').length > 0;
}, 3000);
The above example will check the div that has id="nextDiv" in every 20ms (not longer than 3 seconds). When the div is loaded, it will show 'Next page loaded' in the console.

There is a DOMNodeInserted event that is supposed to work like document.ready but for individual DOM nodes. But it is deprecated and has lots of issues. StackOverflow users found a good alternative to it that works quite well in all mobile browsers: Alternative to DOMNodeInserted
Here is a function that will trigger a callback once all images matching a jquery selector have finished loading
Js Fiddle Sample
//css
input {width: 420px;}
//html
<div id="container"></div>
<input type="text" value="http://goo.gl/31Vs" id="img1">
<br><input type="text" value="http://wall.alafoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Fractal-Art-Wallpapers-09.jpg" id="img2">
<br><input type="text" value="http://pepinemom.p.e.pic.centerblog.net/ssg8hv4s.jpg" id="img3">
<br><input type="button" value="Load images" name="loadImages" id="btn">
<div id="message"></div>
//javascript
//Call a function after matching images have finished loading
function imagesLoadedEvent(selector, callback) {
var This = this;
this.images = $(selector);
this.nrImagesToLoad = this.images.length;
this.nrImagesLoaded = 0;
//check if images have already been cached and loaded
$.each(this.images, function (key, img) {
if (img.complete) {
This.nrImagesLoaded++;
}
if (This.nrImagesToLoad == This.nrImagesLoaded) {
callback(This.images);
}
});
this.images.load(function (evt) {
This.nrImagesLoaded++;
if (This.nrImagesToLoad == This.nrImagesLoaded) {
callback(This.images);
}
});
}
$("#btn").click(function () {
var c = $("#container"), evt;
c.empty();
c.append("<img src='" + $("#img1").val() + "' width=94>");
c.append("<img src='" + $("#img2").val() + "' width=94>");
c.append("<img src='" + $("#img3").val() + "' width=94>");
evt = new imagesLoadedEvent("img", allImagesLoaded);
});
function allImagesLoaded(imgs) {
//this is called when all images are loaded
$("#message").text("All images loaded");
setTimeout(function() {$("#message").text("");}, 2000);
}
You could use jQuery ajax to load the content, and on success run a function with the slide.
$("#page1").load('page2.html', function() {
//do your custom animation here
});
Althoug I'm not completely sure how you're loading the content. Is it static (Already there but just not visible?) Or is it loaded with ajax?
EDIT: You could just do a small .delay() or setTimeout with a few millisec, and then animate the sliding.
I had a similar problem making a masonry site responsive. I use window.onload which waits for all elements to complete loading before initialising masonry.js. I also placed the window.onload inside .onchange function and it fired everytime the viewport resized.
I am sure applying similar principles will solve your problem.
try once
$(window).bind('load',function(){
//code
});
Maybe you can set an event on your div.
myDiv.onafterupdate = myHandler;
function myHandler() {
// Do here what you want to do with the updated Div.
}
Does this help you?
In jquery you could use $() just after your DOM manipulation code.
$(function(){
//code that needs to be executed when DOM is ready, after manipulation
});
$() calls a function that either registers a DOM-ready callback (if a function is passed to it) or returns elements from the DOM (if a selector string or element is passed to it)
