I am trying to refresh just a part of my website (the left part in which a list with topics appear), but it don't work for me. I get a very weird screen on that left part if I click the refresh button. The script I am using is this:
$(function() {
$("#refresh").click(function(evt) {
$(".bgleft").load("left.php")
evt.preventDefault();
})
})
The weird screen I am getting is a white blank screen with a random text on it (that does not exist). I don't understand why it is happening. For a live example: go to (edited out)
and click on "refresh" at the left frame.
Edit:
The HTML snippet: <body class="bgleft">
In left.php there are two lines of code which are showing theese characters.
for(var n = 1; n < 7; n++)
document.write(String.fromCharCode(Math.round(Math.random()*25)+97));
Try to remove them, it should help.
Also as sad in other answers send only contents of <body> in response because scripts are already included in the site.
It's generally not a good idea to send a complete HTML page when doing a partial update. If you look at what's produced by your left.php, it's the complete page (with <html> tags and everything) you use in your iframe.
Either create a page that only renders the body of the left.php and use that for partial update. Or look here for how to refresh an iframe.
PS: Framesets are hopelessly deprecated and really limiting in terms of design, dynamic/javascript functionality and future extensibility. Consider not using them...
You should be only fetching the content to be updated, not the whole page. Currently, the whole page is being fetched including html, body and even script tags. The jQuery and other scripts are also being loaded again because of this. This can cause major problems later.
How come you are loading the same page HTML, HEAD, BODY inside the current BODY tag?
$(function() {
$("#refresh").click(function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
$(window.top.window).find('frame[name=left]').reload();
})
})

I have a problem with a very simple JavaScript pop-up script.
I have this example page: http://www.onofri.org/example/example4/
At the end of this page there is a box containing some flags including the British flag that is reprsented by the #reportEng div (inside the engLink link).
What I want is that when the user clicks on this element a pop0up message will show.
So I have add to the page this simple script:
<script>
var test = document.getElementById('engLink');
test.addEventListener('click', function() {
alert('clicked');
});
</script>
I have put the script inside the body section of the page and not in the head section because this is only a test page and the final result will be put into a page of a CMS in which I do not have access to the template (so I can't put the script in the head section).
The problem is that it does not work. If I click on the English flag the page is reloaded and the pop-up not shown.
Can you help me?
Thank you,
Andrea
I went a completely different approach. The addEventListener is pretty cool, but I'm a bit OLD and I've defaulted to nasty habits. This works just fine for me.
<script>
function myExample(){
alert("BaZing! It works!");
}
</script>
And for the HTML part...
<div id="reportEng" onClick="myExample()"></div>
I also want to point out that this 'fix' is a bit taboo (see here)
You don't prevent the link from being followed, so when you click the link which has an empty href, you simply reload the current page.
There are many ways to prevent the defaul link behaviour, but here is the old school way:
<div id="reportEng"></div>
Also on a side note I don't think a div element is allowed inside an a in HTML or XHTML.
FIDDLE
You are using a <a> tag, change it to use a <div> tag, or remove <a> tag at all
You can follow this to make div clickable.
can anyone explain what happens when you use javascript to insert a javascript based widget?
here's my js code:
var para = document.getElementsByTagName("p");
var cg = document.createElement("div");
cg.setAttribute("class", "twt");
cg.innerHTML='<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
data-count="vertical" data-via="xah_lee">Tweet</a>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>';
document.body.insertBefore(cg, para[1]);
it inserts the twitter widget, before the first paragraph. As you can see above, the twitter widget calls for a javascript that shows how many time the page has been tweeted.
doesn't work in Firefox, Chrome, but semi-works in IE8. What should be the expected behavior when this happens? Does the newly inserted js code supposed to execute? If so, how's it differ from if the code is on the page itself?
In order to execute the JS code you insert into a DIV via innerHTML, you need to do something like the following (courtesy of Yuriy Fuksenko at http://www.coderanch.com/t/117983/HTML-JavaScript/Execute-JavaScript-function-present-HTML )
function setAndExecute(divId, innerHTML) {
var div = document.getElementById(divId);
div.innerHTML = innerHTML;
var x = div.getElementsByTagName("script");
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
eval(x[i].text);
}
}
A slightly more advanced approach is here: http://zeta-puppis.com/2006/03/07/javascript-script-execution-in-innerhtml-the-revenge/ - look for <script> tags, take their content and create a new element into the <head>.
innerHTML does not work to insert script tags (because the linked script, in most browsers, will fail to execute). Really, you should insert the script tag once on the server side and insert only the link at the location of each post (that is, if you are adding this to a blog home page that shows multiple posts, each with their own URLs).
If, for some reason, you decide that you must use one snippet of JavaScript to do it all, at least import the tweet button script in a way that will work, for example, the Google Analytics way or the MediaWiki way (look for the importScriptURI function). (Note that I do not know the specifics of the tweet button, so it might not even work.)
i have one website which is working on templates.
in the template there is one main image & i want to replace that main image on some pages only not on full website. what i am looking for is to change the main image to new image on page where i need with ajax.
when i see the css of that template i found following code to show image
.top-bg{
background:url(../images/top-bg.jpg)
top center no-repeat;
position:relative;
}
and on php page i found following line which bring image.
<div class="top-bg">
i need ajax / jquery code to change image.
my basic logic is, i will get that image URL from MYSQL databse and assign to one variable and then i will change the image which come from database, actually its one page displaying products and i want to display main image of product with ref to loaded product, i hope you will understand what i need at the end...
Thanks
Thanks for every one how reply, i found the solution
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('#imageContainer').css("background-image", "url(images/cube.jpg)");
}
);
this did trick for me what i need, any way thanks and also for -ve voting thanks... :((
While I think Ajax is the wrong solution for your problem, I'll offer you the following (which, at least, meets your question):
$('#changeImage').click(
function(){
$('#imageContainer').load('http://path.to.php/file.php #imageID');
return false;
}
);
Clicking an element of id="changeImage" will load the contents of id="imageID" from the php file located at the url of http://path.to.php/file.php into an element (presumably div, but whatever) of id="imageContainer".
That said, I'd suggest following #Nick Craver and #Aaron Digulla's advice and use CSS.
If you view source there's a working demo of jQuery's load on my site (posted in response to a different SO question) at http://davidrhysthomas.co.uk/play/loadDemo.html.
Edited in response to comment from OP.
To do this automatically, on page-load:
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('#imageContainer').load('http://path.to.php/file.php #imageID');
}
);
You don't need any JavaScript at all for this, just include another stylesheet (or <style> block) on the webpages you want the imaged changed on. Just have this in there:
.top-bg { background:url(../images/other-image.jpg); }
Or the <style> version:
<style type="text/css">
.top-bg { background:url(../images/other-image.jpg); }
</style>
As long as this is declared after that template stylesheet, that background property will override the template one, and you'll have your custom image on just those pages.
I think AJAX is the wrong approach here. AJAX should be used to load new data when the user interacts with the web page.
Your problem can be solved much more simple: If you can add an AJAX call to the code of the page, why not simply add a new CSS style:
.tob-bg {
background:url(../images/other.jpg) top center no-repeat;
}
Or create a second template and use that for all but the main page.
If you view this page http://www.herkimer.edu/news/view/community_members_complete_jointly_offered_machine_operator_training_progra/
You'll notice a green bar (screen-shot: http://grab.by/1msh) at the very top. It has something to do w/ the addthis widget you'll see underneath the h1 title.
If you reload the page a couple times, the bar goes away, probably because the script is cached and does not delay, resulting in that extra space at top.
Do you know what I could do to resolve this? Any help is appreciated.
I'm assuming that you don't want the DIV to display. You could add some CSS to the page to hide it. It has id atffc (and contains a Flash object, but I don't know that it needs to be visible).
#atffc { display: none; }
I think in addition to just hiding your extra div you may want to move the elements to the bottom of your page so they are evaluated after the add_this anchor tag () is created and ready. That would help with potential timing issues to make sure the element is loaded and ready before their code starts to try to manipulate it.
I had the same problem and I downloaded their new code
http://www.addthis.com/web-button-select
I selected "no analytics" and I think they now strip out the flash part when using no analytics. I haven't had the problem again the last time I checked but I'll need more time to confirm this.
You might want to try to do the same
A bit late, but try adding this code AFTER the AddThis button code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
data_use_flash: false
}
</script>

I have a website with a top panel and a body part. The top panel can be toggled between hidden and shown.
The body part should contain the actual content of the website.
As I don't want to hard-code every single site, I would like to stay with the panel and only reload the content.
This seems to can be done using AHAH and this tutorial.
The problem is that, if new content is loaded, it just pushes the old content down.
My question is, how can I overwrite the old content with the new, fetched content?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help!
Use:
document.getElementById('yourDivID').innerHTML = theHTML;
However any JavaScript in theHTML will not be evaluated.
The prototype.js library has a good function, Ajax.Updater(), to do this sort of thing, and it is less limited than the ahah.js lib, it sounds (can harvest a chunk of any page, local or remote, unlike AHAH). Like jquery, there is a special $() function to get at stuff, use that to prune before appending.
$( 'target_div_id').childElements().each( function( child) { child.remove(); } )
Ajax.Updater( 'target_div_id', 'related_page.html')
Trailing options can be added to refine how much of the downloaded "page" is used.
Ajax.Updater
Element
If you're using jQuery:
$("#divid").html("some html value goes here");
Jquery would be the best way, here is a link to that page;
