i shall state my problem here.. I have an index.html page which has a prettyPhoto.js script in it. i have some menu links on my index.html. say one of these is "video gallery" now i load video gallery through Ajax and it loads fine. but the problem is i cannot get prettyPhoto.js to work in the external loaded file. Does anyone know how to do this?
Index.html looks like this (please note i have removed unnecessary code to make it readable)

I am obviously doing something wrong here. And i can't find any answers on Google because i don't have a clue as to what to search for. i tried searching for "loading JavaScript in ajax page" and all the possible variants i could think of.
EDIT:
Ok i got it working. thanks to the people who answered.
here is code.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#video_gallery").click(function(){
$("#mainPage").load('ajaxfiles/video_gallery.html',function (text, statusText){
if (statusText === "success")
{
$("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
<!-- target.find("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto(); --> //this didnt work for me so i used the above one. firebug gave me some error about target.find
}
});
});
});
</script>
As haynar mentioned, the content is loaded after prettyPhoto has been initialised. To work around this problem, you need to call the prettyPhoto initialisation function after loading the new content.
To make your life a whole lot easier (and your code a whole lot neater), change your loadXMLDoc function to take advantage of jQuery's built-in AJAX utilities, namely load():
function loadContent (url, container) { // remember, you're not loading XML
var target = $(container);
target.load(url, function (text, statusText) {
if (statusText === "success") {
target.find("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
}
});
}
load automatically inserts the HTML into the container for you, and the callback function in the code runs and initializes prettyPhoto for any new elements that have been added to the document.
Don't forget to change references to loadXMLDoc to loadContent, the latter is a better name since you're not actually loading an XML document.
The document ready has already occured, so it is not possible to call it again, just remove the $(document).ready(), but keep the $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
If I am right, your Javascript does get loaded when you add it as a script tag (without commenting it out).
So the result wil be:
<script src="../js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div class="article-box">
Image test
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();
</script>
I can explain you the reason why it doesn't work, but can't help you with coding 'cause I'm not familiar with that JS lib. JS lib run when page loads only ones, so when after it you're creating new objects it can't determine the new once to bind appropriate events and effects to them. You need to run your gallery initialization function one more time after loading new gallery items.

I have a PHP based website. I need to add a JavaScript code in to the head. I would like to include the code in to a small JavaScript file and call it from within PHP page. The code starts with <script type="text/javascript"> and ends with </script>. So I tried to save the code in to code.js and in the head of my website's PHP code I put <script type="text/javascript" src="code.js" /> but it didn't work. I am wondering what am I doing wrong?
The content of the PHP page is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>title of the page</title>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ropa+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<!--head-->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head>
<body>
<!----start-wrap---->
<div class="wrap">
<!----start-Header---->
<!----End-Logo---->
<!--body-top-->
code of the huge page
<!----End-wrap---->
</body>
</html>
I need to insert the following JavaScript code instead of the <!--head-->:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _prvar=_prvar||new Object();
(function(pa,s){if(document.getElementById('125456'))return false;
pa=document.createElement('script');pa.type='text/javascript';pa.async=true;pa.id='125456';pa.src='//abcdefg.com/pub.js';
s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(pa,s);})();
</script>
So what I did is placed the code
<script type="text/javascript">
var _prvar=_prvar||new Object();
(function(pa,s){if(document.getElementById('125456'))return false;
pa=document.createElement('script');pa.type='text/javascript';pa.async=true;pa.id='125456';pa.src='//abcdefg.com/pub.js';
s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(pa,s);})();
</script>
in to a code.js and instead of the <!--head-->in the PHP code I inserted <script type="text/javascript" src="code.js" />
The problem is that you have inserted the tag script as a non-templated tag, here is the right form:
<script type="text/javascript" src="code.js"></script>
Obviously, if the .js is located in the right place, it will be loaded.
You haven't seen the tag in your code probably because you've inspected the HTML with an HTML inspector, but that tool is not always capable to show you malformed tags. For be sure to see the right HTML result, you must view the souce code (usually, right click on the web page via browser and "show source code" option is there).
The content of the php page is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

I got some performance issues in phonegap 3.0. i got two html pages (i dont want to put together as one page). Both pages called jquery mobile script and deviceready function for phonegap. i use navigation command like window.location = "page2.html".
It can go to page2.html but it will take 7 seconds (I thought It is loaded script files again). so i tried to use window.location.href="page2.html". it is straight away go to page2 within 1 sec but it cannot be called page onload function (aka : $(document).ready()) in the page2.
How should i solve this issue? thanks for any suggestion or help !

What about using just a normal link?
link
i have an application with 9000 lines of code on 3 different html pages. Every page has more than 9000 lines. The change from one site to another does not take longer than < 1sec
try using
document.location = "page2.html";
My problem is with Jquery mobile's changePage(), let me start out by saying i know there's a bunch of other post about this issue, but i have tried all the solutions without any luck so that's why i'm now asking for help.
I've build a Phonegap project, where each screen is = a .html file. i got my index.html that loads all the scripts needed for the entire app. Then my index.html loads a new page with $.mobile.changePage(). but when this happens the next page do'sent have any script's or css's attached to it why?
This if my index.html

As stated in the start, my problem is that non of my functions on my login page works to give an example of that i got my infoButton that runs onClick="infoPopup(); and this function makes a popup navigator.notification.alert("Message", null, "Info", "OK"); But it do'sent show anything when i press it.
Am i loading my scripts wrong or whats wrong, any help would be really much appreciated?
EDIT 1:
If i copy all my index.html to all other pages what happens is this. my index.html links to my login.html correct. On the login page my onClick="infoPopup(); dosent work, but my onClick="saveLogin();myFunction();" works sort of. my login info does get saved but in my saveLogin(); i got a navigator.notification.alert(); but the alert aint popping up. i know that all of my functions work because they did when i used window.open(); instead of changePage. And the reason why i changed was because with window.open(); i cant get the jquery page transitions Any ideas?
EDIT 2:
Don't really know what i did but works now:) thanks for the reply's.
Even though i tired this alrdy what worked for me was to move all javascripts and css's to the index.html.
jQuery Mobile does not pull the whole page into the dom, it grabs the first data-role="page" element and its descendants and pulls that into the current dom.
So any scripts in the of the document will not be included.
I generally put all the functional JavaScript for my site on the index page and then when external pages are loaded into the dom they can benefit from the already loaded scripts.
Also, you can place JavaScript code inside the data-role="page" element and it will be included when jQuery Mobile does its AJAX load of the page.
Repeat the head section with all the scripts in each html page, since change page will cause reload of pages and will recreate head section.
simple change like -
$.mobile.changePage("welcome.html",
{transition:"slide"}
);
I have WHMCS script but my main problem is Java script not working, I have tried many solutions but no luck. I'm sure about files path and their work I have tested it in another script, but no luck.

Add {literal} before start of your js and {/literal} after js finish.
ex:
{literal}
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("here");
});
{/literal}
WHMCS use smarty templates you'll need to add {literal} before start of javascript and {/literal} at the end of javascript.
Which version are you using? based on the date of the submission I will say the latest or close to it, but I would have added to much code to the javascript link, I currently have mine setup as under the example as - <script src="templates/{$template}/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script> which then registers and pulls the right location, so if your link is <script type="text/javascript" src="templates/{$template}/1st/flexslider/jquery.flexslider-min.js"></script> and the 1st is the name of the template then WHMCS you need to remove that and test it again, you don't need the folder name after linking to it as it register the folder name and will display it properly. Hopefully this helps a little bit better for you.
Refer to WHMCS documentation on bracelet
Everything within the {literal} {/literal} tags will not be parsed (such as the template variables). However, you would be able to accomplish adding the template variables by using multiple literal statements.
I have the following Javascript/jQuery on my page:
<script>
$("#mymarkdown").load("./LPInfo.md");
var md = markdown.toHTML($("#mymarkdown").html());
$("#mymarkdown").html(md);
</script>
That page is here:
http://www.nickhodges.com/LeanTed/bootstrap/about.html
The page uses bootstrap. I've looked and see no errors in the console when rendering the code.
As you can see, it is not doing what I want, which is using markdown.js to render the contents of a file into HTML.
Here's the weird part, and the root of my question:
If I open the page as a local file, Chrome does nothing. IE9 will open and properly render the page, but only after I give permission to run the script.
Both browsers fail to render the page correctly using the above link. Firefox has the same result.
I confess to being pretty much of a n00b on all this, but I'm at a loss to explain the inconsistent behavior. I understand that the code is accessing a local file, but that shouldn't be a problem when accessed via the web server, right?
Anyway, and help will be appreciated.

The problem is that you're trying to run markdown.toHTML on the contents of #mymarkdown before it has fully loaded into the DOM (load being asynchronous). Use the "complete" callback of load and it works:
$("#mymarkdown").load("./LPInfo.md", function() {
var md = markdown.toHTML($("#mymarkdown").html());
$("#mymarkdown").html(md);
});
(The reason it works locally is probably because lpinfo.md is loaded near-instantaneously, either because 1. an Ajax call to the localhost is extremely fast, or 2. your browser already has the file from localhost cached.)
Do it like so:
$(function () {
$.get( './LPInfo.md', function ( data ) {
$( '#mymarkdown' ).html( markdown.toHTML( data ) );
});
});
So, the code is inside a DOMContentLoaded handler to make sure that the DOM is ready (since you're injecting content into it). Also, $.get is the appropriate retrieval mechanism here. You're doing a .load() which doesn't make much sense in your situation.
What you're doing with .load():
getting the MD file via Ajax,
inserting its contents into the DOM,
retrieving that content from the DOM,
processing the content with Markdown,
inserting the resulting HTML source code into the DOM.
What my code is doing:
getting the MD file via Ajax,
processing its contents with Markdown,
inserting the resulting HTML source code into the DOM.
Have a look at this or that question on how to enable local file system access via XHR.
Your actual problem is that .load() does only start the asynchronous load of the file. But even before it is loaded, you get the HTML content (likely empty?) and render it as markdown. Soon after, the element will get overwritten from the ajax callback. Use the callback parameter!
And don't use load at all if you are not loading HTML. jQuery has a powerful ajax function on which you even could set up a Markdown2html converter which is automatically used when a markdown file is served and html is wanted:
$.ajaxSetup({
accepts: {
"markdown": "text/x-markdown" // MIME type
},
contents: {
"markdown": /markdown/ // MIME type matcher
},
converters: {
"markdown html": markdown.toHTML
}
});
But for your purpose, just use a simple .ajax call:
$.ajax("./LPInfo.md").done(function(md) {
$(function() {
$("#mymarkdown").html(markdown.toHTML(md));
});
});
