jquery's ready function not working on my laptop - javascript

I'm running this simple code on "000webhost" free server:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("something");
});
</script>
</head>
</html>
Thing is, this code works perfectly well if running on localhost.
Another weird thing, is that this code works on my mobile phone, and on my PC at home.
only when running on my laptop(running windows 8), it just get stucked on "waiting for stats.hosting24.com"
I have tried runnig it on latest FF,chrome,IE. - same result on each browser.
It feels like the page never finish loading on my laptop.
Any ideas on what can cause this issue?

Tools > Options > Enable JavaScript in any browser;

check your internet connection.. since you refer jquery from google CDN, if the connection is down, the page may have an issue loading its content.

Did you try this :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
alert("something");
});
</script>
</head>
</html>​
Since
$(function(){
});
and
$(document).ready(function() {
});
are same.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Also on 000webhost.
I'm pretty sure its an issue with that host. They may be running their own scripts that are not finishing or something (I really havent investigated it).
Anyway this issue only seems to happen on 000webhost and only at certain times, at other times my javascript has run fine, which is what leads me to believe it is a problem at their end.

Google Chrome flickers calling jQuery.html() method

In my project I use jQuery.html() to refresh an element on the page. The content is received from the server using AJAX. In FF and IE it is working perfect, but in the Chrome I see that it flickers. I realized that it is not related to AJAX. Problem is that Chrome always gets images from the server even they are not changed. Following example demonstrating it. How to prevent Chrome from reloading images from server?
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="XXX">
</p>
<script>
setInterval(function () {
$("#XXX").html('This is dynamic content from server with an image <img src="alarms.png">');
}, 1000);
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can check here on how to optimize caching the content. You could also try preloading the image first here.
Try putting window.onload = before your setInterval function. It will load the function when the webpage is loaded.

How to use html file as div

I'm very new to html and trying to make a website. So far, I've got an html file that has the header for my site and I would like to use it in all the pages I create for the site using jQuery's load function.
So basically what I want to do is load Header.html into Page.html.
This is the code in Page.html:
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Hello</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Header").load("Header.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Hi
<div id="Header"></div>
</body>
</html>
Header.html looks something like this:
<div id="Header_Name">Adabelle Combrink</div>
<div id="Header_GameProgrammer">Game Programmer</div>
The only thing that comes up on the screen is "Hi" at the moment.
Looks good, apart from the backslashes in the src attributes should be forward slashes.
Is there any particular error you are getting?
Also, as has been pointed out, PHP would be better suited to this job.
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
Aside from the accessibility question, there might also be a negative SEO impact.
Edit:
Assuming your path to jQuery is correct, then the code you posted should work (it does for me).
Things to try / be sure of:
You are running this on a server (i.e. not just opening the file in your browser, as this will fall foul of the same origin policy). Check that the address in your address bar doesn't start with file://
Make sure that the path to the jQuery library is correct
Make sure that Page.html and Header.html are in the same folder
Check your broswer's error console. Instructions.
you can use iframe for including html file into the div.
Otherwise you have to follow some server side include method.
like, in php <?php include("includes/header.php"); ?>
your code looks fine.
are you running the site on a web server, such as out of visual studio (iis express) ?
You can't run it locally. Ajax wont work that way.
Open your page in chrome, and press f12 to open up dev tools.
go to the network tab.
do you see the ajax request being fired on the load function?
by the way, regarding the header div,
a div is not a self-closing tag. Its a container. Its best that you close it using a closing tag.
Otherwise you might get unpredictable results in some browsers. ( I have not checked in a while, but it was that way a few years ago, probably in explorer 8)
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'header.html',
type: 'get',
success:function(data){
jQuery('#header_container').html(data);
}
});
});
<div id="header_container">....</div>
The content returned by the request will go inside the header_container div
Div elements require a closing div tag like so <div></div>.
there is no need to call small pieces of code from another js file, just write your code in the head element like so:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Hello</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jQuery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#Header").load("../Templates/Header.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Header"></div>
</body>
</html>
Don't be afraid to ask for more info.

IE7 run only inline scripts... and not seems to include src scripts

my website is working in chrome, firefox and IE8. But when it comes to IE7 it doesnt work.
Only the inline scripts are working, and the included ones, are not.
what cause the problem? thank you!
I tried following code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://www.domain.com/scripts/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
alert("It works");
});
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
and it did work. A couple of reasons can be responsible for your problem:
The spaces in your URL
Some security options from your browser
Some security options from your network (content blocker). Have you tried to load the javascript file directly (paste the URL into adressbar)?
etc.

jQuery load() fails, but no JS errors

I am trying to create a small, simple JS framework for education purposes, but now I've got a problem I'm unable to solve.
Directory structure
/
/framework
jquery.js
init.js
/content
home.html
style.css
index.html
The problem
I'm obviously not pasting the jQuery file and stylesheet here, but here are index.html and init.js:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src="framework/jquery-1.5.min.js"></script>
<script src="framework/init.js"></script>
<title>My website</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
</div>
</body>
</html>
init.js
$(document).ready(function(){
if(!window.location.hash) {
$("#content").load("../content/home.html", function() {
alert("Load was performed.");
});
}
});
The home.html file contains some sample text, nothing special. I expect jQuery to load the contents of home.html into the content div, but nothing happens when I load the page. The alert with the message "Load was performed" is fired, however.
This task seems quite trivial to me so the mistake I made is probably quite silly, but any help is nevertheless very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Update:
It works when I use this on my server, but in localhost it fails. I can't use the Firebug trick now, because it shows nothing when I use it locally.. Any ideas?
The load function is broken in jquery 1.5 release. You can find the bug ticket at http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8125. This is fixed in version 1.5.1 which is not yet released to google and microsoft cdn. You can find the very latest jquery release with all the latest fixes including load() at http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js
I tested and confirmed that your code works in 1.5.1
If you're using Firebug, open the NET tab. It allows you to see the ajax response.
Chances are you should be using: /content/home.html, not ../content/home.html
The path is in context to the page, not where the JS file resides.
The base location for the executing script is the location of index.html, so the relative path to home.html is "content/home.html", and not "../content/home.html".
just try it with ./
$(document).ready(function(){
if(!window.location.hash) {
$("#content").load("./content/home.html", function() {
alert("Load was performed.");
});
}
});
that is working for me at least.

jQuery script not working when page viewed on localhost

I'm just starting to playing around on a Mac for the first time and I have created a very simple HTML page that uses jQuery to do a simple text swap when an h1 tag is clicked.
When I don't view the page through the webserver and just open it directly in Safari (file:///Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/test/mypage.html) it works as expected. However, when I try to view through Apache (http://localhost/test/mypage.html) it doesn't work.
Here's the code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Awesome Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function sayHello()
{ $('#foo').text('Hi there!');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="foo" onclick="sayHello()">Click me!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something on the Mac? Wouldn't be an Apache setting since its client-side code.. right?
I should probably also mention that I loaded XAMPP to run Apache and MySQL. I have tested Apache to ensure its working using a simple PHP file.

Use Firebug and access the page. One things that might be a culprit is that the web server cannot open jquery.js file because of file permission. Firebug will show if the jquery loaded in page, even you can add the jQuery code on-the-fly in the Console tab.
If you access it using Safari, use Web Inspector and see the if any error showed in Console tab.
One last thing, make a habit to avoid onclick, do this instead:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function sayHello()
{
$('#foo').text('Hi there!');
}
//wait DOM loaded
jQuery(function($){
$('#foo').click(function(){
sayHello();
});
});
</script>
Also, it's better to put the js code near the page end, before </body>, so it would not block concurrent page element's loading.
