I am currently embedding a third-party javascript file directly on my page.
However, the website I'm embedding it from takes a while to respond so it stops the rendering of my site for several seconds.
I'm currently embedding it on my page on the spot where it will write some values:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="[third-party site/file.js]"></script>
The response from the embedded script is just some JavaScript:
document.write('<div class="value">Value 1</div><div class="value">Value 2</div>');
I was thinking that after the page loads use jQuery to make an AJAX request and somehow parsing the response so I can get the values I need.
Is there be a better approach?
You can place this script inside a hidden element on the end of the body (just before </body>) and, after the page has loaded, move it to the desired location with jQuery.
<div id="hiddenElement">
<script type="text/javascript" src="[third-party site/file.js]"></script>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#hiddenElement").appendTo("#someOtherElement");
});
</script>
</body>
Another solution would be to use jQuery .getScript() to load the script in the desired location as you said and #James McDonnell said.
$(document).read(function()
{
$.getScript(/* src */)
});
This will run after the page has loaded.
$.getScript()
Perhaps this could be part of your solution. Here is a stand-alone jQuery example where a button is used to trigger a change event on a DIV. This example just shows you how to access the html content of the div and to see how to manipulate/change it. This is not a solution for you but parts of it might be useful when combined with rcdmk's and James' ideas.
<html>
<head>
<!--<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>-->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#button_test').click(function() {
$('.value').html('New stuff').change();
});
$('.value').change(function(){
$('div').each(function() {
alert($(this).html());
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="value">Value 1</div>
<div class="value">Value 2</div>
<button id="button_test">Click me</button>

I am trying to make my 10 pages static website dynamic so that everytime i don't need to design every page as the same home page. I have tried few jquery statements to load data into div on click of a link.
I have tried the following code and it didn't work:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").click(function() {
$("#div1").load("demo.txt");
});
$("#link").click(function() {
$("#div1").load("demo.txt");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1">
<h2>Let jQuery AJAX Change This Text</h2></div>
<button>Get External Content</button>
<br>
<br> click here </body>
</html>
I have got this from W3School's online Tryit editer. It works fine there but not in my local webpage on my machine. Can I get an explanation what is happening and what I am missing. Thanks.
I have two html file
a.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
hello every one
</div>
</body>
</html>
and another page
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="result">
</div>
<iframe id="ifr" src="http://example.com/a.html">
</iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
divv = $('#ifr').contents().find('div#content').clone();
$('#result').html(divv.html());
</script>
</body>
</html>
In second one I try to get first html and get contet div in it.after that I put this value to result div .
but It's not work. How can I do that.
You do not need to use an iframe; you can use ajax to do that. It's very straight forward.
$(function() {
$('#result').load('a.html #content',function()
$(this).html( $('#content').html() );
});
});
EDIT
As evident from comments below, scope of question has changed. The two pages are on different domains without CORS. Therefore the above answer would not work.
In order to use ajax, you may want to create a server-side script to act as a proxy. Then you'll call that script on your server and it will fetch the a.html page for you.
I guess that could be the right way.
var ifr = document.querySelector('#ifr');
var html = ifr.contentDocument.querySelector('div#content').innerHTML;
$('#result').html(html);
problem is, that the website is loading like for about 20 second or longer (user-problems preprogrammed)
my solution was to load a pre-site where the user sees a loading screen.
i did this with this html-site but i want to do the same in php.
the test-page is http://kater.selfhost.me/test/
Source Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("siteLoader").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("container").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="display:none">
<div id="body">
<iframe src="http://kater.selfhost.me/stats/skins.php" frameborder="0" height="2000px" width="1024px"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
<div id='siteLoader'>
<div id='siteDetailLoader'>
<img src='ajax_loader.gif' border='0'>
Please wait while the page loads...<br /> <br />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
i tried some workarounds, but after searching & testing for about three hours i give up...
thanks in advance for any help provided! :-D
Adding what I alredy said at your question commentary, I made a code loading this content via AJAX:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
//Load content
loadAjaxContent();
});
function loadAjaxContent()
{
//VERY IMPORTANT: the URL domain MUST HAVE be the same as your request
//that's why I'm not writting the full http://kater.selfhost.me/stats/skins.php
$.ajax({
url: "/stats/skins.php"
}).done(function(data) {
//remove loader
$("#siteLoader").hide();
//put PHP content
$("#ajaxContent").html(data);
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="body">
<div id="ajaxContent" style="width:1024px;"></div>
<div id='siteLoader'>
<div id='siteDetailLoader'>
<img src='ajax_loader.gif' border='0' />
Please wait while the page loads...<br /> <br />
</div>
</div>
This is the most used way to load asynchronous content in the web. But pay attention at this: The http://kater.selfhost.me/stats/skins.php page is made to open as single page in the web, so it has <html> , <head>, <body> , etc.. tags, so..after loading this page into another you'll have two <html>, <body> .. tags in a same page, this is bad, but modern browsers have an awesome common sense and don't bother by this, but you should know that, and be aware.
The actual problem why it isn't loading yet, is this javascript in your content:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
EXref="";top.document.referrer?EXref=top.document.referrer:EXref=document.referrer;//-->
</script>
I removed that and now works fine. Remember that's a quick fix, I don't know what this JS does.
Why it works in <iframe> and doesn't via AJAX? When you open in <iframe> is like opening in a new browser window..and via AJAX, as I have said, it'll load the page content straight inside your "parent" page.
So, removing this Javascript will work, but awesome further solutions:
If you need to open this page both as content to load (via AJAX), both as single page, you can make two pages.. one for each need.
If you just want to use as content to load, remove <html>, <head>, etc.. tags, and fix Javascript to work inside another page.
The following code is a test piece. Normally the href in the Link would point to "http://www.google.com/", but the attr should change it to reference "http://maps.google.com" BUT, the reference is not changing. Can anyone tell me why it is not working? Thanks
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("a#changeme").attr('href',
'http:\/\/maps.google.com/');
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<p>Link to <a href="http://www.google.com/"
id="changeme">Google</a>
in the content...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
jQuery is not loaded.
If it was, you would have to wrap it in a $(document).ready handler.
This can be done without jQuery.
Code:
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("changeme").href = 'http://maps.google.com/';
};
The onload handler is not exactely equal to the DOMContentLoaded handler, but it has a better support, and may be preferred here. Alternatively, you can move the <srcipt> block to the end of the <body>, and then use the method without any onload handlers:
<body>
<div class="content">
<p>Link to Google
in the content...</p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// This code is placed after the element, so the reference does exist now.
// In the head, the same code will throw an error, because the body doesn't
// even exist.
document.getElementById("changeme").href = 'http://maps.google.com/';
</script>
</body>
The script is in the header so it's executed before the other content has been loaded (if jQuery is even active, seeing no reference to it). You should put it in a function and then call it later on (e.g. through onload or a timer). I could as well think of a security feature in the browser, to keep sites from manipulating links right before you click on them.
Here is the code for the correct jQuery way to do this (using the document ready).
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#changeme").attr('href', 'http:\/\/maps.google.com/');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<p>Link to <a id="changeme" href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>
in the contenttest...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// jquery and javascript functions
</script>
</head>
<body>
<fancy-jquery-ajaxy-html-section>
</fancy-jquery-ajaxy-html-section>
<noscript>
sorry you came to the wrong place - this site is all jquery/ajaxy stuff.
</noscript>
</body>
</html>
I tried surrounding <fancy-jquery-ajaxy-html> with a <script type="text/javascript"></script> but then nothing from that section is displayed even for users with javascript enabled.
But what I want to do is hide that <fancy-jquery-ajax-html> section only if the user doesn't have javascript enabled.
It contains content that is useless to someone without javascript turned on, so it shouldn't be shown at all.
A user with javascript disabled should only see a message saying that the page can't be viewed without javascript.
Is there a way do that?
The easiest way is to hide the section with CSS (e.g. display:none), then show it through Javascript.
EDIT: just a little example
<div>Everyone sees this div</div>
<div id="mydiv" class="hidden">You see this div only with JS enabled</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#mydiv").removeClass("hidden");
</script>
<noscript>
<div>You will see this div only with JS disabled</div>
</noscript>
And, of course, in your CSS:
.hidden
{
display: none;
}
You could hide your fancy section using css:
<div id="fancy_jquery_ajax" style="display: none;">
</div>
then you could use use JavaScript to display the element:
$("#fancy_jquery_ajax").css("display", "block");
I hope that's right, I actually don't use jQuery that much. :S
Another approach would be to generate that HTML using JavaScript, so it can't appear unless JavaScript is running.
What I did is to have my javascript hide the nojsdiv and show maindiv. This way, if you don't have javascript the message shows up.
<body onload="allowlogin()">
<div id="maindiv" style="visibility: hidden;">
...
</div>
<div id="nojsdiv">
The training system requires javascript to be enabled.
</div>
</body>
I prefer to add a class of .js to html tags as soon as jQuery has loaded. This allows my to write css rules that apply only when the user has javascript enabled/disabled. This keeps your show and hide code out of our JS and lets CSS do its job and style the page
Here's how I would approach your problem:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.js #fancy_jquery_ajax {display: none;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('html').addClass('js');
$(document).ready(function() {
// Stuff to do as soon as the DOM is ready
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "fancy_jquery_ajax"></div>
<noscript><!-- stuff to say if use had javascript disabled --></noscript>
</body>
</html>
It's important to note that we want to add the class of .js as soon as jQuery has loaded and not add it in our document.ready handler. Otherwise we'd be back to square one.
