Only this much now: I'm creating a vcard design for myself. My motivation is to make it look as good as possible. I want to apply to a webdesign company with this vcard to get a professional education for webdesign.
I still have a lot to change till it completely fulfills in my requirements, but this is my current version of the design I just uploaded to get you an overview over the design.
So as you can see it's focused on retro, vintage, ribbons and scetch elements.
Right know I want to get rid of these jerking content refreshs. So I thought a dynamic content swap via ajax and jQuery would be the best way to do it.
I never did much with js or actually ajax.
I want to ask you guys about a solution you think benefits in my design. I was thinking about something smoothly.
The content which needs to be changed is placed in
<nav>
(...)
<ul class="ribbon s"><!--Following links got the class="ribbon b/p/l/k"-->
<li class="ribbon-content">Link</li>
<!--
?content=blog
?content=portfolio
?content=lebenslauf
?content=kontakt
-->
</ul>
(...)
</nav>
<section id="content">
<div class="con clearfix">
(...)
</div><!--An empty div for possibly swapping without touching the vintage paper thing -->
</section>
http://robert-richter.com/boilerplate/
for example use jquery.
first add jquery to your html. within the domready-event you can register click events on your ribbon-menue. on each click you load the div-content from the given link-url in the html-part.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ready(function(){
$(".ribbon-content a").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$(".con").load($(event.target).attr("href"), function(){
// add code after loading - for example change classes of menue
})
});
})
</script>
additionly you can the the browser-history to enable the prev- and next-buttons of the browser.

I am very new to jQuery and not entirely sure what I'm doing. Will try my best to explain the problem I'm facing.
I'm trying to lock some content on a landing page until a user shares the link using FB, Twitter, LinkedIN or G+. The first version of the script I wrote (which worked fine) ran like this:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
...
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.class').click(clearroadblock());
buildroadblock();
}
</script>
<style>
.class
{
[css stuff]
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="something">
<ul>
<li> Link1 </li>
<li> Link2 </li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
The problem I'm now facing is changing out this code to replace the list elements with social share buttons. As they are no longer under .class, but classes like fb-share-button and twitter-share-button. Please help me understand what I need to modify to accommodate this? PS: This is not a Wordpress site.
function clearroadblock()
{
$('#roadblockdiv').css('display', 'none');
$('#roadblockBkg').css('display','none');
}
This is the way I'm clearing the overlay once a click is detected, BTW.
Can I wrap the social buttons in divs, assign them IDs and use those IDs to trigger the click like below?
<div id="Button">
Tweet
</div>
$('#Button').click(clearroadblock());
You can have multiple classes on an element by separating them with a space. Try the following:
class="class fb-share-button"
Your jquery will still work off the "class" class. I would recommend you change this name to something more meaningful though. Your css can target the "class" for general styles, but you can also target fb and twitter separately.
Update
I decided to create a quick JSFiddle for this.
Some of the styles etc won't be the same as what you're doing, but the problem is resolved. I've created a div with id main that contains the content that you want to hide. There's an absolutely positioned div over the top of this, this is the roadblock. The javascript is showing the roadblock (assuming that's what you wanted to do with buildroadblock()).
On click of a link in the ul with id socialMedia we call clearroadblock. Notice the lack of parenthesis. This hides the roadblock.
This isn't a great way of preventing someone from seeing information, you might want to think about pulling the content down from the server when the action is performed, however, I think this answers your question.
I have this code for the header
<div id="header">
<IMG SRC="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png">
</div>
And this code for the main menu
<div id="menu">
Link One,
Link Two,
Link Three
</div>
I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? Thanks.
First of all most W3C folks will get mad at you for this line <div id="header">
Anything syntactically named with an id the same as a generic HTML object tag needs to just be that tag. Anything good enough to give an id of id='header' should probably just be a <header> tag.
Secondly, I am unsure what the question is asking fully so let's go with something not yet said. #Parody showed a fiddled way of having the images change on click. The part of your question that said I want the header image to fade into another image through the main menu links. Is this possible? is difficult to understand so I am going to assume that you want some kind of event to trigger the changing of the images? There are many ways to do this but the best of which (especially for beginning programmers) is to use Bootstrap version 3.0+ since it comes with HTML driven stuff that usually requires JavaScript/JQuery to accomplish.
If you don't want to use Bootstrap then that's fine here is an example of how to use a hover event to trigger the change using JQuery...
HTML
<div id="header">
<img src="http://danithemes.fanscity.eu/shugar/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/header-principal.png" />
</div>
<div id="menu">
Link One
Link Two
Link Three
</div>
JAVASCRIPT/JQUERY
$(".navLink").each(function() {
$(this).hover(function() {
$("#header img").css({"background-image":"url($(this).attr('data-image'))"});
});
});
I'm looking for a solution, in which div content changes on page load, randomly. Much like a JavaScript image on page load. I have made further notes in the code below.
I could do a randomize the content like images with JavaScript on page load, but here it's divs and I'm not sure how to change content inside them.
<div class="row BSlots">
<div class="Grid_4 fl">
/* This would be the code which would change */
/* For example once it would be <div class="hello"><p>Hi</p></div> and the other <iframe="Link"/> */
</div>
<div class="Grid_4 fr">
<script>Widget2(); /* Don't mind this, loading an actual JS image randomizer here */</script>
</div>
</div>
Can this be achieved without using JS? If not, I'd appreciate a basic example which I could fiddle with :)
Yes it could be achieved without Javascript. It depends on which serverside-technology you use. You could create a template and insert serverside ransom image-tags.
It is possible too, to do it via javascript.
If you want to use jQuery, you could do something like:
$(function(){
$(".Grid_4 fl").html(generateRandomImageHtml());
});
I'm pretty sure this is another DOH! facepalm questions but as designer and not a programmer I need some help getting it right.
What I have is an index file calling local .html files via jQuery .load. Just like this:
(some tabs functionality not relative here - thus the link target call)
Lightbox</li>
<div id=lightbox">
<div class="load">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.load').load('examples/lightbox.html');
</script>
</div>
</div>
I also have an external .js file that has a bunch of functions that handles some lightboxes among other things. Standard <script src="js/typography.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Which contains:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".open-lightbox").on("click", function(){
$('.lightbox').css('display','block');
});
$('.close-lightbox').click(function(){
$('.lightbox').css('display','none');
});
});
My problem is that if the externally called .html file has any elements dependent on the .js file ie. the lightbox popup it doesn't work.
something like :
LightBox Link
<div class="lightbox">
lightbox content
Close
</div>
If i move the html code right to the index page instead of the .load, no problem, same if I moved the JS as an inline <script>...</script> rather than calling it extrenally. Works fine in both cases.
My spidey sense tells me this has something to do with my function and .load not executing in the order I need them to, but my javascript copy/paste skills only go this far.
Can anyone tell me if I can make this combination work? I'd really appreciate it.
EDIT
Maybe I explained my self poorly so let me try and post a better example.
If my index code is as followed everything works: My lightbox pops up as intended.
<li>Link to open Tab Content</li>
<div id="thistabid">
<--Tab Content below-->
<div class="somehtmlpage-load">
LightBox Link
<div class="lightbox">
lightbox content
Close
</div>
</div>
<--End Tab Content-->
</div>
When the said tab is clicked the content inside "thistabid" show up. Whatever that content may be.
Now if i do :
<li>Link to open Tab Content</li>
<div id="thistabid">
<--Tab Content below-->
<div class="somehtmlpage-load">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.somehtmlpage-load').load('examples/lightbox.html');
</script>
</div>
<--End Tab Content-->
</div>
The lightbox doesn't work. The content of lightbox.html is
LightBox Link
<div class="lightbox">
lightbox content
Close
</div>
Same as the html in the 1st example where everything works. The only difference it's being jQuery loaded rather than hard coded.
What I mean by "if the externally called .html file has any elements dependent on the .js file ie. the lightbox popup" is that if the html is part of the externally called file then the lightbox function isn't working. If it's hard coded it pops up like intended.
On 1st glance the .on seems like should be the solution but most likley my implementation of it is off the mark :/
The 'on' or the 'live' function needs to be applied through an element that exists on the page. Generally some parent of the actual element is used. Can you try something on the following lines with the correct references to the elements on your page:
<li>Link to open Tab Content</li>
<div id="thistabid">
<--Tab Content below-->
<div class="somehtmlpage-load">
<!--leave tab empty for now -->
</div>
<--End Tab Content-->
</div>
<script>
(function(){
$('.somehtmlpage-load').load('examples/lightbox.html');
//live or on needs to be applied to an element that exists on th page
$('#thistabid').on('click', '.open-lightbox', function(){
$('.lightbox').css('display','block');
});
$('#thistabid').on('click', '.close-lightbox', function(){
$('.lightbox').css('display','none');
});
})();
</script>
There seems to be a race condition between your load() and document ready.
To address this you'll need to:
either wait for the load() to complete before you attach the click events
or attach the click to the container of your load() step and use event delegation.
See this page and this other one for more information on how to use on() for delegation.
The code would look like this:
$(".somehtmlpage-load").on("click", ".open-lightbox", function(){
$('.lightbox').css('display','block');
});
Using a SSI solved my problem. I was trying to keep it all Local Drive friendly but it seemed to be causing more problems than anticipated.
Pick your favorite dev environment...I didn't run into any conflicts on either.
ASP - <!--#include file = "examples/lightbox.html" -->
PHP - <?php include 'examples/lightbox.html';?>
Just in case someone else runs into a similar problem.
I have a page with an iframe to feature the contents of the clicked tab. There are 3 tabs and 1 iframe. The sources of the contents relating to each tab clicked are formatted and coded in other html & css files.
What is another alternative to using an iframe, because I noticed that when the tab is clicked, it still shows the white background, similar to when a new page is loading?
Here's my code:
<div id="tabs">
<div id="overview">
<a target="tabsa" class="imagelink lookA" href="toframe.html">Overviews</a>
</div>
<div id="gallery">
<a target="tabsa" class="imagelink lookA" href="tawagpinoygallery.html">Gallery</a>
</div>
<div id="reviews">
<a target="tabsa" class="imagelink lookA" href="trframe.html">Reviews</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="tabs-1">
<iframe src="toframe.html" name= "tabsa" width="95%" height="100%" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</div>
The only alternative to using IFRAMEs to load dynamic content (after the page has loaded) is using AJAX to update a container on your web page. It's pretty elegant and usually faster than loading a full page structure into an IFRAME.
Ajax with JQuery (use this and you will be loved on SO; the AJAX functions are great and simple)
Ajax with Prototype
Ajax with MooTools
Standalone Ajax with Matt Kruse's AJAX toolbox (Used to use this, using JQuery today because I needed a framework)
AJAX with Dojo (Said to be fast, but AJAX is not as straightforward)
Another alternative is to use AJAX to load the content of a tab and use a div to display the content. I would suggest that using an existing Tab library might be an option rather than trying to solve all the problems associated with creating tabs.
Maybe the jQuery UI Tab might be helpful here if you like to try it.
EDIT: AJAX example with UI Tabs.
First, the HTML will look like this.
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><span>Overviews</span></li>
<li><span>Gallery</span></li>
<li><span>Reviews</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
Then make sure that you import the appropriate jQuery files:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
etc...
Then add the code to create the tabs:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs();
});
</script>
There's an alternative to AJAX!
You can load ALL three possible contents into separate DIVs.
Then clicking on a tab will simply make the display attribute of the appropriate content's DIV "block" while making the other two DIVs' display property "none".
Cheap, easy, does not require AJAX costs for extra http request or for coding.
Mind you, AJAX is a better solution if the contents of the tabs will change dynamically based on other data as opposed to being known at the time the page loads.
You don't need script.
<ul><li>foo link<li>bar link</ul>
<div class="tab" id="foo">foo contents</div>
<div class="tab" id="bar">bar contents</div>
Plus this CSS, in most browsers: .tab:not(:target) { display: none !important; }, which defaults to all content visible if :target isn't supported (any modern browser supports it).
If you're showing content with script, always hide it with script. Let it degrade gracefully if that script doesn't run.
It's probably better to load in the content for each tab into DIVs on the same page and then switch the visibility of each DIV when a tab button is clicked using JavaScript and the CSS display property.
If you can't do that then iframe is probably the best solution. You can make the iframe background transparent, see below:
<iframe src="toframe.html" name= "tabsa" width="95%" height="100%" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
You would then need to add the following CSS to the BODY element using:
BODY { Background: transparent; }
The HTML iframe is to be used to include/display non-template content, such as a PDF file. It's considered bad practice when used for template content (i.e. HTML), in both the SEO and UX opinions.
In your case you just want to have a tabbed panel. This can be solved in several ways:
Have a bunch of links as tabs and a bunch of div's as tab contents. Initially only show the first tab content and hide all others using CSS display: none;. Use JavaScript to toggle between tabs by setting CSS display: block; (show) and display: none; (hide) on the tab content divs accordingly.
Have a bunch of links as tabs and one div as tab contents. Use Ajax to get the tab content asynchronously and use JavaScript to replace the current tab contents with the new content.
Have a bunch of links as tabs and one div as tab contents. Let each link send a different GET request parameter or pathinfo representing the clicked tab. Use server-side flow-control (PHP's if(), or JSP's <c:if>, etc) or include capabilities (PHP's include(), or JSP's <jsp:include>, etc) to include the desired tab content depending on the parameter/pathinfo.
When going for the JavaScript based approach, I can warmly recommend to adopt jQuery for this.
This is jQuery example that includes another html page into your document. This is much more SEO friendly than iframe. In order to be sure that the bots are not indexing the included page just add it to disallow in robots.txt
<html>
<header>
<script src="/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">
</header>
<body>
<div id='include-from-outside'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$('#include-from-outside').load('http://example.com/included.html');
</script>
</body>
</html>
You could also include jQuery directly from Google: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/ - this means optional auto-inclusion of newer versions and some significant speed increase. Also, means that you have to trust them for delivering you just the jQuery ;)
As mentioned, you could use jQuery or another library to retrieve the contents of the HTML file and populate it into the div. Then you could even do a fancy fade to make it look all pretty.
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.get
Something along these lines:
$.get("toframe.html", function(data){
$("#tabs-1").html(data);
});
edit..
you could prepopulate or onclick you could do the get dynamically
$("#tabs a").click(function(){
var pagetoget = $(this).attr("href");
$.get...
})
If you prepopulate could have three containers instead of the one you have now, 2 hidden, 1 display, and the click functions will hide them all except for the one you want.
The get is less code though, easier time.
