I'm not particular familiar with using jQuery/Javascript so I don't know what the best way to do what I'm asking, it works but I don't know how efficient it is.
Basically I have a plugin called TipTip to create tooltips. It either takes the info from the "title" attribute of what you want the tip to appear over or you can use an option in the script to include HTML, like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".someClass").tipTip({content:"<strong>What you want in the tooltip</strong>"; })
});
</script>
I want to generate a lot of different tooltips on my page but they all fit a similar style and really only need a changeable variable (they are an achievement progress bar so I only need to pass a single value for the % progress).
So is it alright to simply have a lot of script tags and duplicate the code above or can I pass a variable into it somehow and only keep the one piece of tooltip code at the top?
Or is this a question for suited to the devs of TipTip? Thanks in advance.
Assuming HTML5 is ok to use in this scenario, I'd reccommend using the html data attributes to store your element specific tooltips... and then using it to populate the tiptip plugin...
$(function(){
$('.toolTipClass').each(function() {
var element = $(this);
element.tipTip({
content: "<strong>"+element.data("toolTip")+"</strong>"
});
});
Now just add the HTML5 attribute like so
<div class="toolTipClass" data-toolTip="This is the tool Tip">Div Content</div>

hello what I want it is simply like in the image below :
I want if I add #element1 so the div which have the same id ="element1" so it will get colored somehow , I just want to know what to type on google so I can find a solution because I searched for javascript hash etc but without any success.
you need to use window.location.hash to get the hash value
so if your hash is #someId23
do something like:
if (window.location.hash){
$(window.location.hash).addClass('selected');
}
This answer will help you to focus div, then you can use 'div:focus, div:active' pseudo classes and add some animation there, there are a lot, google it
This is better than jQuery manipulation. Also page performance doesn't affected
Good day! Newbie here. I just want to know if it's possible to change the whole content of an html using javascript? I got some codes here. (not mine but whoever did this, thank you so much!) I don't know where to put/insert all the codes of the new layout like when you click a button then the whole content will change. Thank you very much for helping me.
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var newContent='<html><head><script language="Javascript">function Hi()</script></head><body onload="Hi();"><p id="p">hello</p></body></html>';
function ReplaceContent(NC) {
document.write(NC);
document.close();
}
function Hi() {
ReplaceContent(newContent);
}
-->
</script>
The easiest way to do this is with jQuery.
function insertHtml()
{
var newHtml = '<div><span>Hello World</span></div>';
$('body').html(newHtml);
}
Something like that will replace the entire contents of body with newHtml. You can also do this with pure javascript using the .innerHtml property but jQuery has many advantages.
EDIT: If you want to add something to the DOM rather than replacing the entire thing, use
$('body').append(newHtml)
instead. This will add the content to the end of the body. This is very often used for things like adding rows to a table.
Yes it is possible but this code is not valid unless you remove the comment tags however don't use the document.write() after page load unless you want to overwrite everything in page including the script
I know this will be an easy one for you guys but I couldn't figure out how to do something like this; http://backpack.tf/
On that page, when you take your mouse to any item it opens a new small window displaying some text/image. What are my options for achieving something like that? JavaScript? I tried using "onMouseOut=" with HTML but it is too simple for what I have in mind.
I'd be tempted to say this is almost certainly a duplicate: Is there a JQuery tooltip plugin that supports HTML content and automatically positions tooltips?. To name but one :)
Either way you should look at tooltips, a quick google search found this:
http://jqueryui.com/tooltip/
It should let you use html content inside the tooltop.
you can use Hover event in jQuery or javascript whatever you like and in that even write your code whatever you want to achieve etiher showing block or displaying image:-
$("#idOfElement").on("hover", function()
{
////your code
});
I am creating a UI, in which user can add / delete items (of similar layout).
It starts with one item and you can click 'add' to add more. The UI consists of several different types of items.
What I am doing currently is populating a single item item 1 ( of each type ) and on add event, I clone the item 1, replace the changes done by user in item 1 and append the clone to the container.
In simple words, instead of dynamically creating html with jQuery, I am cloning html of a div. But in this approach , I had to change a lot of things to keep to give the new item to initial state.
So, I want to avoid the replacing the edits done by user, so I was thinking something like below,
<script type="text/template" id="item_type1">
<div>
<div>Box</div>
</div>
</script>
<script type="text/template" id="item_type2">
<div>
<div>Box2</div>
</div>
</script>
And on add event, I want to do something like $('#item_type1').html() and $('#item_type2') to create new items.
I know there are sophisticated libraries like handlebar and mustache and underscore has its own way of implementing templates.
But I am not using any of these already and thus do not want to included them just to copy content. I dont want anything special. I am not passing variables. I am just cloning some markup to use again and again.
Is this way to insert html in script tags , going to work in all browsers ? and is it a good way ?
EDIT:
Its for the wp plugin and I assume js is turned on , else the plugin wont work anyways.
What about:
Your HTML should be, for example:
<script type="text/template" id="item_type1">
<div>
<h1>Box1</h1>
<p>
</p>
</div>
</script>
And your code would be:
var templateHtml = $('#item_type1').html();
var $item = $(templateHtml);
$('body').append($item);
$item.on('click', function() {});
This is an easy way that will work on all browsers.
Step 1: Create an HTML file with your template inside of it
Step 2: Using jQuery's load() method, call your HTML template into a div element in the main HTML file:
$("#main-div").load("yourtemplate.html")
Step 3: Be amazed
Is this a good idea? It depends:
If it's a self contained application on a known environment with a determined supported browser and with equally determined settings (like if JavaScript is on or not) then yea, sure. Why not?
If it's open to the public in every single browser possible with many different configurations, then no, it's a horrible idea. If your user doesn't have JavaScript enabled, then your content doesn't show up. Also, if one of your scripts break in production, then you are again left with no content. You can learn this lesson from when Gawker made this same mistake
I have a list being displayed on a JSP. On mouse hover on any of the value i need to show a description corresponding that value. Need to show description not as an alert and also cannot make the values as hyperlink.
eg.
suppose the value is ABC so on mouse hover should show AppleBoyCat.
need to use onmouseover. let me know how to do it..
What do you want to do? If you just want to show a tooltip, you can set the title attribute of any element and it will be displayed as a tooltip.
Also, the abbr tag can be used as tooltips too:
<abbr title="test">stuff</abbr>
You can go about it in two ways:
1 - a hidden dom object (a div for instance) which reveals itself when you roll over whatever
or
2 - you can rewrite the html of the particular element you're mousing over.
You can load this data in when you load everything else (either as Javascript objects, or as markup, though that's much bulkier) or you can asynchronously load the description data from a service when you mouse over (though you'll have more lag).
jQuery is a quick and dirty way to achieve this (more quick than dirty), but straight JS or pretty much any other JS library will do as well.
Perhaps not the cleanest solution but something like this:
<a class='hover' rel='tooltip'>Link</a>
//Some hidden div, putting css inline just for example
<div id='tooltip' style='display:none;'>Content</div>
$(function() {
$('.hover').mouseover(function() {
var tooltip = $(this).attr('rel');
$('#' + tooltip).fadeIn();
});
});
And offcourse add a callback hiding it again. It just takes the value from rel of the link and use as an id for the div to show.
This is a quick and dirty solution, can be made alot smoother if you just work with it a little;)
There also alot of plugins out there allowing the same functionality in a cleaner fashion.
*Edit: Just noticed you added a comment on another post that you can't use jQuery.. shouldn't tag a post with something you're not intending to use.
As TJHeuvel already said, you can simply use the title attribute.
Best approach is to build the list with both the value and title attribute from within JSP, if not possible for some reason, you can build client side array of each value and its corresponding description then using JavaScript dynamically assign the title on mouseover.
Show us some more code to get more/better help.
For simple tooltips, the title attribute is most effective, as pointed out by TJHeuvel
If you need more advanced tooltips with HTML and CSS formatting, I'd suggest you use an external library.
One that works nicely without jQuery ist wz_tooltip download here, documentation here
When included correctly, you can add tooltips by calling the functions Tip() and UnTip() as follows:
