Jquery/JS not loading text file - javascript

I am writing a word/name generator. On my local computer the script works fine but when uploaded, the jQuery is not able to load the text file and I get a 404 not found error. The text file is there, I have checked a number of times. Here is the simplified code: http://namepicker.site11.com/test.html
Thank you for any advise,
Todd

Well a simple look at Chrome's Developer Tools reveals this error:
GET http://namepicker.site11.com/names/names.txt 404 (Not Found)
Obviously, you'd need to actually upload the names.txt file into the names directory.
Edit: I see that other files redirect to your hosting 404 page while names/names.txt does not, so perhaps it exists but does it somehow still send a 404 code. Is it a real text file or an underlying PHP file?

http://namepicker.site11.com/names/names.txt
The file does not exist, It needs to be there to be loaded. Try creating it and see if your having the same issues.
EDIT:
http://namepicker.site11.com/names/
File does seem to exist, perhaps check the CHMOD settings on the files.

jQuery is not ready yet. You need to wrap jQuery functions.
For example:
$(function() {
$(window).load(function()
var file= './names/names.txt';
$.get(file, function(data) {
alert(data);
});
});
});

How to use external html file in current html code

I am trying to load an external HTML page (common navigation) into my current HTML page. I tried the load function but it is deprecated. Can you tell me another way to include it? I am not using any server.
Here's my code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#content').load(" nav.html ");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content "></div>
</body>
</html>
Try this
<script>
function loadPage(href) {
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET", href, false);
xmlhttp.send();
return xmlhttp.responseText;
};
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML =
loadPage('your_html_file.html');
</script>
<div id="content">
</div>
Take both file pages in same directory then you can use simple button on link to use external file. for example
<button> External file </button>
Button is your choice it's just example for understanding you can simple use html link.
You should use the SSI-function.
There is several ways but this can solve your problem.
<!--#include virtual="PathToYourFile/YourFile.html" -->
This can be inserted into a <div> for further styling in CSS.
REMEMBER! Due to some limitations in html-doctypes you cannot inlude a .html-file into an .html-file. You have to use another format as .shtml where you can inlude your .html-files. You can include .html into your .shtmlfile. This was also what .shtml was originally created for.
This is because it is part of the XHTML (Dynamic XML HTML)...
To change a file
Your approach on the HTML is correct and also your JS. I include a lot of html-files containing texts there.
My approach is that when a page is loaded some text will be loaded with the <!--#include virtual="" --> inside a <div>. Below JS is used to change the content in the <div>. As Daniel Beck stated below: "...at least in Apache the server needs to be configured to check particular file extensions...".
You configure your file in your .htaccess-file. But ONLY do this if you know what you are doing.
Some (newer?) servers have a default setup of which you don't need to alter the .htaccess-file if you want to be able to include .html-files. At least you are able to include .html-files into .shtml-files.
I have included a Mimetype converter which tells the browser how it should read the file. For txt/html I have told the script that it should use the character encoding ISO-8859-1. Others as UTF-8 could also be used. This depends on your and your receivers native language.
Take into consideration to use the e.preventDefault();. With this i tells the browser NOT to see this as navigation link and will therefore only load the content in the <div>.
$(function() {
$('#ButtonsID').click(function(e) {
$('.DivClass').load('PathToFile/File.shtml');
e.preventDefault();
});
});
$.ajaxSetup({
'beforeSend': function(xhr) {
xhr.overrideMimeType('text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1');
}
});

Javascript(Jquery) executes in HTML header but not not when in an external JS file

I know this stuff has been asked before...but I am a bit confused about this still. I have my index.html file and I have a script tag linking to my external JS file. If I only have that script tag the JS does nothing, but if I copy the JS and paste it into it's own script tag in the HTML header it works just fine. There's gotta be something I'm missing with Jquery.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="jquery-3.2.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="FinalProjectCss.css">
<title>Dustin Naylor - Final Project</title>
<script src="FinalProjectJS.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".section").click(function(){
if($(this).next().is(":hidden")) {
$(this).next().slideDown("fast");
} else{
$(this).next().hide();
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span class="section">Click Me</span>
<div class = "hiddenDiv">
Oh hey there.
</div>
</body>
</html>
So the code in the last script tag that is Jquery stuff is exactly copied into a separate JS file named FinalProjectJS.js. In the current state this code is in it works as desired, but when I remove that chunk of code from the html file it doesn't work....Sorry for my nubishness, I'm rather new and any help would be great! thanks!
Can you write the contents of your jquery file: FinalProjectJS.js? The syntax for calling the external file seems to be correct. So I'm thinking it might be something about the path or the jquery external file contents itself. Make sure you don't include <script> tags on that file. Here's a sample.
Another thing, last time I've worked with jquery, I can't directly see it take effect when both my files are stored locally. It had to be stored in a server first, then accessed by my PC. Only then did my jquery took effect. A dev I worked with added some text to my Google Chrome's properties (target) so that even if my file is not stored in a server, I can see jquery take effect even if both my HTML and jquery files are stored locally.
...sorry, I'm not allowed to comment yet to clarify your post.
You must add the jQuery script tag before FinalProjectJS.js for the jQuery snippet to work.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.js"

Debugging Uncaught Reference Error

I am attempting to debug an exception:
thumbnails.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined(…)
I am not sure if I am missing something else involving jQuery. I added the dependency file, and that is all I believe I should need. I believe the code I included is correct as well.
I have provided some of my HTML and JavaScript code below.
from inventory.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Rob's Rock 'n' Roll Memorabilia</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/default.css" />
<script src="scripts/utils.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/thumbnails.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery-3.1.1.slim.min.js"></script>
</head>
from thumbnails.js
$(window).ready(function () {
initPage();
});
HTML is loaded top to bottom, The script are also loaded in the same order and executed as soon as loaded.
Here you have loaded thumbnails.js first and then jquery.js, so thumbnail.js gets loaded first and it uses the jQuery's $ object/ function and since jquery is not loaded yet $ is not available and therefore you see this error on the page. Take care of the order of script tags in your HTML.
Secondly, I am not sure about this Thumbnail.js, of how it works but it is a $(document).ready(function () { //your code here }); there is nothing as window - ready event , it could be window load event.
Your load order is wrong. Move your JQuery script above your thumbnails script in the load order.
The order of included scripts is wrong
I presume util.js , thumbnails.js require jquery to work.
but you have include jquery after them. jquery need to be included at the beginning
<script src="scripts/jquery-3.1.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/utils.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/thumbnails.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Local jQuery.js file not working

I had downloaded jQuery.js file from jQuery.com .I have saved this file in 3 places, including JRE/Lib and desktop (where my HTML file which calls it is), to be sure that the jQuery.js file is found. I reference this js file as :
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#clas").click(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="clas"> Hello</p>
<p>Hi</p>
</body>
When I ran this HTML file on Mozilla browser, I expected 'Hello' to vanish when I clicked on it, but it did not. It remained as solid as ever.
But when I used a jQuery CDN:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js">
And when I used an online HTML editor called Tryit Editor v1.5, it worked correctly!
It seems only the local jQuery.js is not doing its part. The JavaScript works fine, only the $() part doesn't. I'm using jdk1.6. I wonder why this snag has occurred. How to resolve it? Help.
Thanks! I found the solution to this problem, from a similar question posted in this forum, asked a year ago. Here is the link:
jQuery code doesn't work if I'm using a local jquery.js file, why?
The problem seems to have been incompatible encoding of the html and the js files. So I added the charset attribute to script tag of js. And the problem and 'Hello' both vanished at a click!
Your code works for me. Please check the below code, I have just modified the location of the jquery.js file where mine is stored in a different location.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<%--<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>--%>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jQuery/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#clas").click(function () {
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="clas">Hello</p>
<p>Hi</p>
</body>
</html>
I assume the location of your js is not correct. Are you using the same path of js where you have this "html" or jsp page? Or you have the js files in a separate folder?
Additionally, you can try alternate way as below:
$("#clas").live("click", function () {
$(this).hide();
});
Please let me know if this helps.

Dynamic (2 levels) Javascript/CSS Loading IE6

i am trying to dynamically include js (and css) files into a webpage like this:
index.html -> loader_a.js -> a_foo.js, a_bar.js, a_foo.css and so on.
While this works without a problem in FF (using appendChild) i cant get it to run in IE6.
I've tried various available solutions (adding to dom node, ajax call and eval and more from (http://ntt.cc/2008/02/10/4-ways-to-dynamically-load-external-javascriptwith-source.html) here and there and others like post #2013676) but it's not doing what its supposed to do.
When i check with DebugBar i see that my include files (eg a_foo.js) is actually loaded, but its content is empty - on other included files (1 Level/directly) this content is show so i assume there is the problem ...
The "error" i get is alway undefined object which is o/c b/c the function i call is not loaded properly so not much of a help. I dont get any errors on the includes.
I've validated the javascripts so those whould be ok.
Does anyone have the ultimate solution for this?
I can recreate my tests and post some code if it helps.
Thanks,
regards,
Thomas
Sample HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML lang=en><HEAD><TITLE>Test</TITLE>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmtest_files/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmtest_files/multiload.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function init2() {
// using the data from the loaded js files
var a= mmf("a");
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Variable set:" + a;
}
// magic...
include(['mmt.js'],init2);
</script>
<BODY >
<H2>Test me!</H2>
<SPAN id=status>status old</SPAN>
</BODY></HTML>
JS 1 is multiload from answer 1
JS2 is a test include:
function mmf(param)
{
return "Called with" + param;
}
You need to use document.write in ie, in order to load scripts in parallel.
See: Loading Scripts Without Blocking
I have such a script btw: Loading Multiple Javascript Files In Order Asynchronously
(it may need some enchancements in Chrome)
UPDATE
There is a callback function, it is optional. It can be used to couple dependent script to the files. EG:
function myjQueryCode() {
// ...
}
include(['jquery.js','jquery-ui.js'], myjQueryCode);
So that your jquery dependent code will run after the files has been loaded.
