AJAX load() not executing more than once - javascript

Transferred a website to server and now my JS file seems half-broken. When pictures are clicked AJAX is supposed to load a new page into the post box. However, I can't figure out why it only executes once and then stops working. Check it out.
http://affinity-cap.com/services/
and the JS file:
(function($) {
$("#wealthpic").click(function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/wealth-management/ .post-box");
})
$("#portpic").click(function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/portfolio-management/ .post-box");
})
$("#retirepic").click(function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/retirement-consulting/ .post-box");
})
$(".service-pic").click(function(){
$(".post-box").animate({
opacity: 0.1
}, 1500);
})
}(jQuery));
Would appreciate help. Thanks.

#main contains the images you are clicking on. When you reload #main, it's going to cause issues with the handlers you set on the images. You should move those images to a separate div.

Try the following, it should replace your click events when "main" is reloaded:
(function($) {
$("#main").on("click", "#wealthpic", function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/wealth-management/ .post-box");
})
$("#main").on("click", "#portpic", function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/portfolio-management/ .post-box");
})
$("#main").on("click","#retirepic", function(){
$("#main").load("http://affinity-cap.com/retirement-consulting/ .post-box");
})
$(".service-pic").click(function(){
$(".post-box").animate({
opacity: 0.1
}, 1500);
})
}(jQuery));

make your html:
<div id="wealthpic" tail="wealth-management"></div>
<div id="portpic" tail="portfolio-management"></div>
<div id="retirepic" tail="retirement-consulting"></div>
and jquery:
(function($) {
/*define variables for repeatable use, if needed elsewhere*/
var url = 'http://affinity-cap.com/',
main = $('#main'),
wealthPic = $('#wealthpic'),
portPic = $('#portpic'),
retirePic = $('#retirepic'),
postBoxTxt = ' .post-box',
postBox = $(postBox),
animationSpeed = 1500;
/*main action*/
wealthPic.add(portPic).add(retirePic).click(function() {
//get html element tail attribute
var clickedElementTail = $(this).attr('tail');
//fade postBox out
postBox.stop().fadeTo(animationSpeed/2, 0.1, function() {
//change postBox content
main.load(url+clickedElementTail+postBoxTxt, function() {
//fade postBox in
postBox.fadeTo(animationSpeed/2, 1);
});
});
});
}(jQuery));
and let me know ;)

How do I properly delay jQuery animations when loading a remote HTML?

EDIT: This software package is the full and undoctored version of what I'm trying to fix here. The problem is in the /data/renderpage.js script. Feel free to examine this before continuing.
https://github.com/Tricorne-Games/HyperBook
I really appreciate all the help guys!
=
I am polishing a jQuery script to do the following in a rigid sequence...
Fade out the text.
Shrink the size of the container div.
Preload the remote HTML ///without showing it yet!///
Open the size of the container div.
Fade in the new remote HTML.
I do not mind if steps 1 and 2, 4 and 5 are combined to be one whole step (fade/resize at the same time). It's when the new HTML is loaded it interrupts the entire animation, even from the beginning.
The idea is that I do not want my remote HTML to show until after the animation renders right. I want the original text to fade out and the container div close up, then, behind the scenes, ready the text of the new HTML, and then have the container div open up and fade the new text in.
It seems when I call the load(url) function, it instantaneously loads the page up, and the animations are still running (like the new HTML ends up fading out, only to fade back in, and not the original text out and then the new one in). Either that, or the whole function is calling each line at the same time, and it's disrupting the page-changing effect I want.
Here's my current script setup...
$(document).ready(function() {
// Start-Up Page Load (Cover, ToC, etc.)
$('#content').load('pages/page1.htm');
// Navigating Pages
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var ahref = $(this).attr('href');
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'hide'}, 500);
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 0.25);
$('#content').load(ahref);
$('#content').css({opacity: 0.0});
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'show'}, 500);
return false;
});
});
What is it wrong I'm doing here? I have used the delay() function on every one of those steps and it doesn't solve the problem of holding back the new text.
jQuery objects can provide a promise for their animation queues by calling .promise on the jQuery element.
You can wait on one or more of these to complete using $.when() and then perform other operations.
The following does a fade out and slide up in parallel with the load, then (only when the animations complete), slides it down then fades it in (in sequence):
$(document).on('click', 'a', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var ahref = $(this).attr('href')
var $container = $('#content_container');
var $content = $('#content');
// Slide up and fadeout at the same time
$container.animate({
height: 'hide'
}, 500);
$content.fadeOut();
// Load the content while fading out
$('#content').load(ahref, function () {
// Wait for the fade and slide to complete
$.when($container.promise(), $content.promise()).then(function () {
// Slide down and fadein (in sequence)
$container.animate({
height: 'show'
}, 500, function () {
$content.fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
});
});
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/pffm1tnb/3/
The only issue with this version is that the load may complete faster than the fadeout/slideup and show the new data too early. In this case you want to not use load, but use get (so you have control over when to insert the new content):
// Load the content while fading out
$.get(ahref, function (data) {
// Wait for the fade and slide to complete
$.when($container.promise(), $content.promise()).then(function () {
$content.html(data);
// Slide down and fadein (in sequence)
$container.animate({
height: 'show'
}, 500, function () {
$content.fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
});
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/pffm1tnb/4/
Notes:
return false from a click handler does the same as e.stopPropagation() and e.preventDefault(), so you usually only need one or the other.
I started with the JSFiddle from #Pete as no other sample was handy. Thanks Pete.
Update:
Based on the full code now posted, you are returning full pages (including header and body tags). If you change your code to .load(ahref + " #content" ) it will extract only the part you want. This conflicts with the second (better) example I provided which would need the pages returned to be partial pages (or extract the required part only).
Additional Update:
As $.get also returns a jQuery promise, you can simplify it further to:
$.when($.get(ahref), $container.promise(), $content.promise()).then(function (data) {
$content.html(data);
// Slide down and fadein (in sequence)
$container.animate({
height: 'show'
}, 500, function () {
$content.fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
});
});
The resolve values from each promise passed to $.when are passed to the then in order, so the first parameter passed will be the data from the $.get promise.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/pffm1tnb/11/
The issue is because you're not waiting for the hide animations to finish before loading the content, or waiting for the content to load before starting the show animations. You need to use the callback parameters of the relevant methods. Try this:
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var ahref = $(this).attr('href'),
$content = $('#content'),
$contentContainer = $('#content_container');
$contentContainer.animate({ height: 'hide'}, 500);
$content.fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
// animation completed, load content:
$content.load(ahref, function() {
// load completed, show content:
$content.css({ opacity: 0.0 }).fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
$contentContainer.animate({ height: 'show' }, 500);
});
});
});
Note that for the effect to work the most effectively on the UI you would need to perform the load() after the animation which takes the longest to complete has finished.
Instead of using the load() function, you can use the get() function and its callback paramater to save the HTML into a variable before actually putting it into the element with html().
After doing all the animations to fade out and close the old box (and maybe inside an animation-finished callback function) you'll want to use something like the following:
$.get(ahref, function(data) {
// JQuery animation before we want to see the text.
$('#content').html(data); // actually inserts HTML into element.
// JQuery animation to fade the text in.
});
Using a bunch of the code everyone posted here, I rewrote the segment I originally had to follow suit. This is now my working result.
$(document).ready(function() {
// Start-Up Page Load (Cover, ToC, etc.)
$('#content').load('pages/page1.htm');
// Navigating Pages
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var ahref = $(this).attr('href');
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 0.0)
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'hide'}, 500, function(){
$('#content').load(ahref + '#content', function(){
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'show'}, 500, function(){
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
});
});
});
return false;
});
});
You can use deferred or callbacks function
$(document).on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var ahref = $(this).attr('href');
var dfd1 = $.Deferred();
var dfd2 = $.Deferred();
var dfd3 = $.Deferred();
var dfd4 = $.Deferred();
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'hide'}, 500, function(){
dfd1.resolve();
});
dfd1.done(function() {
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
dfd2.resolve();
});
});
dfd2.done(function() {
$('#content').load(ahref, function() {
$('#content').css({opacity: 0.0});
dfd3.resolve();
});
});
dfd3.done(function() {
$('#content').fadeTo('slow', 1.0, function() {
dfd4.resolve();
});
});
dfd4.done(function() {
$('#content_container').animate({height: 'show'}, 500);
});
return false;
});

Jquery On element load from external script

In my code I have external script that adds some element to my page. This script loads async after document.ready:
<script src="http://any.com/script.js"></script>
This script contains next:
$.ajax({
url: '/anyScript',
complete: function(){
alert('yo'); // FIRED
$('body').append('<div id="xxx" />'); // FIRED
}
});
I need to wait until this element will appear and add some styles to it
$(function(){
$('body').on('load','#xxx', function(){
$(this).css({
background:'red',
width: 100,
height: $('#first_el').height()
});
});
});
This doesn't fire. What to do?
UPDATED: http://jsfiddle.net/81ucdoLo/1/
This solution is based on the assumption that you don't have any control over the external script. So the proposed solution is to use an interval based solution to check whether the target element is loaded if so style it and then stop the interval.
In that case, try use $.getScript() to load the script like
jQuery.getScript('http://any.com/script.js', function () {
var interval = setInterval(function () {
var $el = $('#xxx');
if ($el.length) {
clearInterval(interval);
$el.css({
background: 'red',
width: 100,
height: $('#first_el').height()
});
}
}, 500);
})
Demo: Fiddle
You can try using ajaxComplete as shown :
$( document ).ajaxComplete(function() {
$('#xxx').css({
background:'red',
width: 100,
height: $('#first_el').height()
});
});
Working Demo
This should wait for the element to be ready:
$(function(){
$("#xxx").css('top','123px');
//OR
$("#xxx").addClass('topMargin');
});
Do somthing like this, call your js function using window.onload, it will execute doSomthing function after your page load.
window.onload = function() {doSomthing();}
function doSomthing()
{
$("#xxx").css('top','123px');
}
Or add timeout,
setTimeout(doSomthing,1000);
this will delay the call process, and will call after specified time.
What if you try this :

Jquery thumbnail gallery changing all images

I've tried to create a jQuery effect using fancy box to contain my content and within that is a large image with thumbnails below. What I was trying to make happen was when the thumbnails are clicked then the large image updates (see RACE Twelve image as an example). This works fine but the problem is when I go to another fancy box on my website (SEE RACE ONE box) then that image has been updated to be whatever thumbnail was clicked last.
I thought this might be event bubbling but preventing default hasn't helped.
I'm very new to jQuery and know that this is something stupid that I'm doing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Thank you :)
Live version of page: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/members-meeting/the-races.aspx
jsfiddle for jQuery: http://jsfiddle.net/greenhulk01/JXqzL/
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.races-thumbnail').live("click", function (e) {
$('.races-main-image').hide();
$('.races-image-wrap').css('background-image', "url('http://www.goodwood.co.uk/siteelements/images/structural/loaders/ajax-loader.gif')");
var i = $('<img />').attr('src', this.href).load(function () {
$('.races-main-image').attr('src', i.attr('src'));
$('.races-image-wrap').css('background-image', 'none');
$('.races-main-image').fadeIn();
});
return false;
e.preventDefault();
});
$(".races-image-wrap img").toggle(function () { //fired the first time
$(".races-pop-info").show();
$(this).animate({
width: "259px",
height: "349px"
});
}, function () { // fired the second time
$(".races-pop-info").hide();
$('.races-main-image').animate({
width: "720px",
height: "970px"
});
});
$('#fancybox-overlay, #fancybox-close').live("click", function () {
$(".races-pop-info").show();
$(".races-main-image").animate({
width: "259px",
height: "349px"
});
});
});
})(jQuery);
$('.races-main-image') will select all elements with that class, even the ones which aren't currently visible.
You can select the closest '.races-main-image' to the clicked element as per the code below (when placed inside the click event handler)
$('.races-main-image', $(e.target).closest('.races-fancy-box'))
So your new code should look like:
$('.races-thumbnail').live("click", function (e) {
var racesmainimage = $('.races-main-image', $(e.target).closest('.races-fancy-box'));
var racesimagewrap = $('.races-image-wrap', $(e.target).closest('.races-fancy-box'));
racesmainimage.hide();
racesimagewrap.css('background-image', "url('http://www.goodwood.co.uk/siteelements/images/structural/loaders/ajax-loader.gif')");
var i = $('<img />').attr('src', this.href).load(function () {
racesmainimage.attr('src', i.attr('src'));
racesimagewrap.css('background-image', 'none');
racesmainimage.fadeIn();
});
return false;
});
I've also removed your 'e.preventDefault();' return false; includes that, and was preventing e.preventDefault() from being executed in any case.

Why does a simple click function not find the selector?

I am writing a really quick js module that opens up and image and fades out a container to show the image. The markup for the image is this below:
<div style="margin-bottom:1px;" class="rsNavItem rsThumb front">
<div class="rsTmb portfolio">
<img src="http://www.mysterium.ch/revelation/pictures/revelation_highres_06.jpg"/>
</div>
</div>
Now what happens is the click basically fades out a div and then shows the container.
loadSlide: function () {
console.log('clicked');
//$('.rsThumb').each(function () {
var containerT = $('.rsnav-container'),
containerB = containerT.find('.rsThumb');
$('.rsThumb').click(function (e) {
console.log('clicked again');
e.preventDefault();
var sliderObject = $('.collection #gallery-t-group').data('royalSlider');
var s = this;
// Lets make sure the body is activated
$('body').addClass('rsSlider-active');
$('.loader').show().transition({
opacity: 1
}, 100, 'easeInOutQuart');
// $('.socialbar-vertical-static').removeClass('activestate');
$('.body').transition({
opacity: 0
}, 100, 'easeInOutQuart');
// After slider loads
setTimeout(function () {
$('.body').transition({
opacity: 1
}, 500, function() {
$('.loader').transition({
opacity: 0
}, 500).hide();
});
theSliderActivated();
theSocialActivated();
sliderObject.updateSliderSize(true);
$('div#container').css('margin',0);
}, 1000);
});
//});
}
The script is also loaded in at the top like so:
init: function() {
var app = this;
this.fakingIt();
this.loadSlide();
this.unloadSlide();
this.mobileNav();
this.loadThumbs();
this.royalSlider();
this.thumbsSwitch();
this.functionResize();
this.theSocialActivated();
this.slideEventChange();
console.log('======> new.global.js');
}
For some reason it will not register the event at all and even with a console log after the click nothing registers at all.
Am I doing something really wrong here?
Make sure you are definitely calling init() from within a document ready event handler. This will ensure the rsThumb div is available when binding to its click event.
$(function(){
init();
});

some issues with mouseenter and mouseleave functions

I have this function:
$(".insidediv").hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeOut(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeIn();
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function(){
$(".insidediv").fadeOut(function(){
$(".hideimg").fadeIn();
});
});
the function built to make a little animation, when you 'mouseenter' the div the picture I have there is hidden and than a few text show up.
it works fine if i move the mouse slowly. but if i move my mouse fast over the div the function getting confused or something and it shows me both '.insidediv and .hideimg,
how can i fixed that little problem so it wont show me both? thanks!
You need to reset the opacity, because fadeIn and fadeOut uses this css property for animation. Just stopping the animation is not enough.
This should work:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
duration = 500;
inside.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function () {
if (inside.is(":visible"))
inside.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
img.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
inside.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
$(".floater").mouseleave(function () {
if (img.is(":visible"))
img.stop().animate({ opacity: 1 }, duration);
inside.stop().fadeOut(duration, function () {
img.fadeIn(duration);
});
});
I just introduced the duration variable to get animations of equal length.
Here is a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/eau7M/1/ (modification from previous comment on other post)
try this:
var $insideDiv = $(".insidediv");
var $hideImg = $(".hideimg");
$insideDiv.hide();
$(".floater").mouseenter(function(){
$hideImg.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$insideDiv.fadeIn();
});
}).mouseleave(function(){
$insideDiv.finish().fadeOut(function(){
$hideImg.fadeIn();
});
});
This will solve your issue:
var inside = $(".insidediv"),
img = $(".hideimg");
inside.hide();
$(".floater").hover(function () {
img.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
},function () {
inside.stop(true).fadeOut('fast',function () {
img.stop(true).fadeIn('fast');
});
});
Updated Fiddle
You need to set the 'mouseleave' function when the mouse is still inside the
'floater' div.
Try this (i have tried it on the jsfiddle you setup and it works):
.....
<div class="floater">Float</div>
<div class="insidediv">inside</div>
<div class="hideimg">img</div>
var inside = $('.insidediv'),
img = $('.hideimg');
inside.hide();
$('.floater').mouseenter( function() {
img.stop().hide();
inside.show( function() {
$('.floater').mouseleave( function() {
inside.hide();
img.fadeIn();
inside.stop(); // inside doesn't show when you hover the div many times fast
});
});
});
.....
