Page transitions, depending on URL - javascript

This code fades each page out, before going to the URL's destination. However, there are some instances where the user doesn't go to a new page, but goes to a PDF in the browser, or it opens the default mail application. On Safari it seems, if you go to an external site (www.twitter.com) and press the back button, the .wrapper is still faded out. (Perhaps a cache thing?)
function fadeAndGo(x) {
$(x).click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var href = this.href;
$('.wrapper').fadeOut(function(){
window.location = href;
});
// $('.wrapper').delay()fadeIn();
});
}
fadeAndGo('a');
Is it possible to either:
Fade out, only if the URL does not contain 'PDF, mailto', or is an external link?
Fade in after a certain amount of time (it faded out, but faded back in after a couple of seconds, in case it was a PDF/mailto).

Try this:
function fadeAndGo(x) {
$(x).click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var href = $(this).attr("href");
if (!/PDF|mailto/gi.test(href)) {
$('.wrapper').fadeOut(function () {
window.location = href;
}).delay(2000).fadeIn();
} else {
window.location = href;
}
});
}
fadeAndGo('a');

Firefox - website takes me to new tab automatically and I cannot stop it

So I have a website where I can select links and click a button to open them all at the same time. When I do that Firefox takes me to one of the newly opened links automatically.
I wanted to stop this behavior, so I looked and looked, and eventually found this option:
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground
Now, when I set this to true, newly opened tabs never automatically take me to them. So if I click an ad on a site that normally opens in a new tab and takes me to it, now it doesn't happen. I also tried this code:
<p><a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://google.com');
window.open('http://yahoo.com');">Click to open Google and Yahoo</a></p>
This code opens 2 links at the same time. I was thinking maybe opening multiple links at the same time somehow overrides Firefox. But no, the links opened and I was not automatically taken to any of the new tabs.
Also must be said that I'm having this problem in Firefox 75 and 74. But when I try it in Firefox 55.0.2, I don't have the problem. In Firefox 55.0.2 the "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" actually works even on the website where I have the problem (I can't share the site because it's behind login).
This appears to be the code responsible to open multiple links on the website I have an issue with:
$(document).on('click', '.statbtn', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$('.row-checkbox').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
$('select[name="status[' + t.val() + ']"]').val(me.attr('id'));
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
$(document).on('click', '.openlink', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$($('.row-checkbox').get()).each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
console.log();
var win = window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank');
if (win) {
win.focus();
} else {
bootbox.alert('Please allow popups for this website');
}
}
});
So I tried everything I could think of. Many changes to the about:config, restarting my browser, unticking the "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option in Firefox. But nothing works. When I open links from this one site using this specific button, I always get automatically taken to one of the newly opened tabs.
Here is a similar-ish problem - https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bnu6qq/opening_new_tab_problem/
Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? I mean, a website shouldn't be able or allowed to override Firefoxe's native setting, right?
Okay, because I don't wanna be an ass, here is the solution.
$(document).on('click', '.statbtn', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$('.row-checkbox').each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
$('select[name="status[' + t.val() + ']"]').val(me.attr('id'));
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
$(document).on('click', '.openlink', function () {
var me = $(this);
var isAnyRowSelected = false;
$($('.row-checkbox').get().reverse()).each(function () {
var t = $(this);
if (t.is(':checked')) {
isAnyRowSelected = true;
console.log();
// var win = window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank');
setTimeout(() => window.open(t.data('link'), '_blank'),1000);
// if (win) {
// win.focus();
// } else {
// bootbox.alert('Please allow popups for this website');
// }
}
});
if(isAnyRowSelected == false){
bootbox.alert("No Orders Selected");
}
});
Basically, adding a "setTimeout" fixed it. For some reason Firefox needed the delay to process things correctly, I guess, I think. Before the delay, the actions would happen instantly, and I'll just guess that Firefox couldn't "catch up" to it in order to apply the exemption of not navigating to new tabs. But a timeout delay fixed it.
And for anyone that may run into this with a similar issue, it also required an edit in Firefox in "about:config" to set this to True.
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground
That's all folks :)

Anchor-Links jump to wrong place

I just can't figure out this problem.
The circumstances:
Website (Wordpress with Genesis and Altitude-Pro theme) with 4 pages with anchor-sections on it.
The problem:
If a link got clicked it loads the url with the hash (.../#section1) but it is not on the correct position. After hitting enter in the URL it jumps to the correct position.
I think this is because of Images that are loaded and the site jumps to the location before that.
What I tried:
I used this code, but it doesn change anything:
$( window ).load(function() {
alert("LOADED");
hash = document.location.hash;
alert(hash);
if (hash !="") {
setTimeout(function() {
if (location.hash) {
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
window.location.href = hash;
}
}, 1);
}
else {
return false;
}
});

If current page is X, do this action

I have a simple site, which slides the content off the page before taking you to the URL. However, I need to be able to determine the slide direction, depending on which page you're currently on.
I need to do this, but I'm not sure how to articulate it properly with jQuery:
if (current page == about.php) {
animate right then go to target URL }
else {
do default behaviour }
At the moment, I have this function which doesn't work well, because it animates in a certain way regardless of which URL you're going to:
function animateLeftAndGo(x) {
$(x).click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var href = this.href;
$('.pop-up').fadeOut(function(){
$('.wrapper').animate({left: "+=150%"}, "slow", function(){
window.location = href;
});
});
});
}
Which is called by:
animateLeftAndGo('a.archive');
How can I set up an if statement that asks if the current URL is about.php?
In JavaScript use the location object: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/obj_location.asp
if (location.pathname == '') {
}

using onbeforeunload event, url change on selecting stay on this page

Rewriting the question -
I am trying to make a page on which if user leave the page (either to other link/website or closing window/tab) I want to show the onbeforeunload handeler saying we have a great offer for you? and if user choose to leave the page it should do the normal propogation but if he choose to stay on the page I need him to redirect it to offer page redirection is important, no compromise. For testing lets redirect to google.com
I made a program as follows -
var stayonthis = true;
var a;
function load() {
window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
if(stayonthis){
a = setTimeout('window.location.href="http://google.com";',100);
stayonthis = false;
return "Do you really want to leave now?";
}
else {
clearTimeout(a);
}
};
window.onunload = function(e) {
clearTimeout(a);
};
}
window.onload = load;
but the problem is that if he click on the link to yahoo.com and choose to leave the page he is not going to yahoo but to google instead :(
Help Me !! Thanks in Advance
here is the fiddle code
here how you can test because onbeforeunload does not work on iframe well
This solution works in all cases, using back browser button, setting new url in address bar or use links.
What i have found is that triggering onbeforeunload handler doesn't show the dialog attached to onbeforeunload handler.
In this case (when triggering is needed), use a confirm box to show the user message. This workaround is tested in chrome/firefox and IE (7 to 10)
http://jsfiddle.net/W3vUB/4/show
http://jsfiddle.net/W3vUB/4/
EDIT: set DEMO on codepen, apparently jsFiddle doesn't like this snippet(?!)
BTW, using bing.com due to google not allowing no more content being displayed inside iframe.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dYKKbZ
var a, b = false,
c = "http://bing.com";
function triggerEvent(el, type) {
if ((el[type] || false) && typeof el[type] == 'function') {
el[type](el);
}
}
$(function () {
$('a:not([href^=#])').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (confirm("Do you really want to leave now?")) c = this.href;
triggerEvent(window, 'onbeforeunload');
});
});
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
if (b) return;
a = setTimeout(function () {
b = true;
window.location.href = c;
c = "http://bing.com";
console.log(c);
}, 500);
return "Do you really want to leave now?";
}
window.onunload = function () {
clearTimeout(a);
}
It's better to Check it local.
Check out the comments and try this: LIVE DEMO
var linkClick=false;
document.onclick = function(e)
{
linkClick = true;
var elemntTagName = e.target.tagName;
if(elemntTagName=='A')
{
e.target.getAttribute("href");
if(!confirm('Are your sure you want to leave?'))
{
window.location.href = "http://google.com";
console.log("http://google.com");
}
else
{
window.location.href = e.target.getAttribute("href");
console.log(e.target.getAttribute("href"));
}
return false;
}
}
function OnBeforeUnLoad ()
{
return "Are you sure?";
linkClick=false;
window.location.href = "http://google.com";
console.log("http://google.com");
}
And change your html code to this:
<body onbeforeunload="if(linkClick == false) {return OnBeforeUnLoad()}">
try it
</body>
After playing a while with this problem I did the following. It seems to work but it's not very reliable. The biggest issue is that the timed out function needs to bridge a large enough timespan for the browser to make a connection to the url in the link's href attribute.
jsfiddle to demonstrate. I used bing.com instead of google.com because of X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
var F = function(){}; // empty function
var offerUrl = 'http://bing.com';
var url;
var handler = function(e) {
timeout = setTimeout(function () {
console.log('location.assign');
location.assign(offerUrl);
/*
* This value makes or breaks it.
* You need enough time so the browser can make the connection to
* the clicked links href else it will still redirect to the offer url.
*/
}, 1400);
// important!
window.onbeforeunload = F;
console.info('handler');
return 'Do you wan\'t to leave now?';
};
window.onbeforeunload = handler;
Try the following, (adds a global function that checks the state all the time though).
var redirected=false;
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(e){
if(redirected)
return;
var orgLoc=window.location.href;
$(window).bind('focus.unloadev',function(e){
if(redirected==true)
return;
$(window).unbind('focus.unloadev');
window.setTimeout(function(){
if(window.location.href!=orgLoc)
return;
console.log('redirect...');
window.location.replace('http://google.com');
},6000);
redirected=true;
});
console.log('before2');
return "okdoky2";
});
$(window).unload(function(e){console.log('unloading...');redirected=true;});
<script>
function endSession() {
// Browser or Broswer tab is closed
// Write code here
alert('Browser or Broswer tab closed');
}
</script>
<body onpagehide="endSession();">
I think you're confused about the progress of events, on before unload the page is still interacting, the return method is like a shortcut for return "confirm()", the return of the confirm however cannot be handled at all, so you can not really investigate the response of the user and decide upon it which way to go, the response is going to be immediately carried out as "yes" leave page, or "no" don't leave page...
Notice that you have already changed the source of the url to Google before you prompt user, this action, cannot be undone... unless maybe, you can setimeout to something like 5 seconds (but then if the user isn't quick enough it won't pick up his answer)
Edit: I've just made it a 5000 time lapse and it always goes to Yahoo! Never picks up the google change at all.

Showing warning with timeout when opening external links

I want that when a user clicks on any external link (identified by either particular id or class) on my site then he should get a popup with a counter of 10 seconds, after 10 seconds the popup should close and the user should be able to access the external URL. How can this be done? I'm able to show a warning like below but I don't know how to add timeout to it, also this is a confirm box, not a popup where I can add some div and more stuff for user to see until the counter stops.
$(document).ready(function(){
var root = new RegExp(location.host);
$('a').each(function(){
if(root.test($(this).attr('href'))){
$(this).addClass('local');
}
else{
// a link that does not contain the current host
var url = $(this).attr('href');
if(url.length > 1)
{
$(this).addClass('external');
}
}
});
$('a.external').live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var answer = confirm("You are about to leave the website and view the content of an external website. We cannot be held responsible for the content of external websites.");
if (answer){
window.location = $(this).attr('href');
}
});
});
PS: Is there any free plugin for this?
I've put together a little demo to help you out. First thing to be aware of is your going to need to make use of the setTimeout function in JavaScript. Secondly, the confirmation boxes and alert windows will not give you the flexibility you need. So here's my HTML first I show a simple link and then created a popup div that will be hidden from the users view.
<a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a>
<div id='popUp' style='display:none; border:1px solid black;'>
<span>You will be redirected in</span>
<span class='counter'>10</span>
<span>Seconds</span>
<button class='cancel'>Cancel</button>
</div>
Next I created an object that controls how the popup is displayed, and related events are handled within your popup. This mostly is done to keep my popup code in one place and all events centrally located within the object.
$('a').live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
popUp.start(this);
});
$('.cancel').click(function()
{
popUp.cancel();
});
var popUp = (function()
{
var count = 10; //number of seconds to pause
var cancelled = false;
var start = function(caller)
{
$('#popUp').show();
timer(caller);
};
var timer = function(caller)
{
if(cancelled != true)
{
if(count == 0)
{
finished(caller);
}
else
{
count--;
$('.counter').html(count);
setTimeout(function()
{
timer(caller);
}, 1000);
}
}
};
var cancel = function()
{
cancelled = true;
$('#popUp').hide();
}
var finished = function(caller)
{
alert('Open window to ' + caller.href);
};
return {
start : start,
cancel: cancel
};
}());
If you run, you will see the popup is displayed and the countdown is properly counting down. There's still some tweaks of course that it needs, but you should be able to see the overall idea of whats being accomplished. Hope it helps!
JS Fiddle Sample: http://jsfiddle.net/u39cV/
You cannot using a confirm native dialog box as this kind of dialog, as alert(), is blocking all script execution. You have to use a cutomized dialog box non-blocking.
You can use for example: jquery UI dialog
Even this has modal option, this is not UI blocking.
Consdier using the javascript setTimeout function to execute an action after a given delay
if (answer){
setTimeOut(function(){
//action executed after the delay
window.location = $(this).attr('href');
}, 10000); //delay in ms
}
