I have a page that has multiple links with various attributes (these attributes will be pulled in from a database):
index.php
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='header.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
My_Link_1
My_Link_2
<div id='my_container'> </div>
</body>
</html>
My header.js file has:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.link_click').click(function(){
$("#my_container").load("classes/class.project.php", {proj: $(this).attr('id')} );
return false;
});
});
class.project.php is pretty simple:
<?php
echo "<div id='project_container'>project = ".$_POST['proj']." : end project</div>";
?>
This loads and passes the ID variable (which actually comes from a database) to class.project.php. It works fine for the first link click (either link will work). Once one link is clicked no other links with this div class will work. It feels like javascript loads the class.porject.php and it will not refresh it into that #my_container div.
I tried running this as suggested by peterpeiguo on the JQuery Fourm, with the alert box for testing wrapped inside .each:
Copy code
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.link_click').each(function() {
$(this).click(function() {
alert($(this).html());
});
});
});
This seems to work fine for the alert box. But when applying it to .load() it does not reload the page with the new passed variable. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even reload the current page. The link performs no function at that point.
The example site can be viewed here: http://nobletech.net/gl/
I looked at the link you posted, and the problem is that when you're doing load you're replacing the elements on the page with new ones, thus the event handlers don't work anymore.
What you really want to do is target the load. Something like:
$("#project_container").load("classes/class.project.php #project_container", {proj: $(this).attr('projid')} );
This only loads stuff into the proper container, leaving the links and other stuff intact.
Ideally, the php script should only return the stuff you need, not the whole page's markup.
BTW- Caching shouldn't be an issue in this case, since .load uses POST if parameters are passed. You only have to worry about ajax caching with GETs
Sounds like the request is getting cached to me.
Try this:
$.ajaxSetup ({
// Disable caching of AJAX responses */
cache: false
});
Sorry but this might be completely wrong but after examining your XHR response I saw that you are sending back html that replaces your existing elements.
So a quick fix would be to also send the following in your XHR response (your php script should output this also):
<script>
$('.link_click').each(function() {
$(this).click(function() {
alert($(this).html());
});
</script>

is there a better way to replace this kind of js function by simply collapse/toggle a div and show/hide its content?
$(function() {
$('#destselect').change(function(){
$('.dest').hide();
$('#' + $(this).val()).show();
});
});
The reason this is happening is because your js file is called on the head of your page.
Because of this, when you document.getElementsByClassName('collapsible');, colls result in an empty array, as your elements in body are not yet created.
You could either create a separate js file and add it at the end of your body (in that way you make sure your colls are created when your javascript is executed), or just wrap your code on a DOMContentLoaded event listener that will trigger your code once the document has completely loaded.
My guess would be that you are loading your script before browser finishes loading dom conetent and so when it runs the elements it is trying to add event listeners to, don't yet exist.
Try wrapping all you javascript in that file in this:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
// all your code goes here
});
The above makes sure that your script is run after loading all elements on the page.
You could add a script tag to the header of your HTML file, this will import the JS file into your current page as follows
<script src="File1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then call the function either in onclick in a button or in another script (usually at the bottom) of your page. Something like this:
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
functionFromFile1()
</script>
</body>
Seems like your script is not executing properly due to a missing variable.
In this script https://www.argentina-fly.com/js/scripts.js
Naves variable in function UpdateDetailsDestination() is not defined.
I think you should resolve this first and then check your further code is working on not.
Please take a look into Console when running page. You'll see all JavaScript related errors there.
I really want to know if there is a shorter alternative to writing this code. I have attempted to shorten it to 2 or 1 functions and achieved miserable failure. I'm seeking constructive feedback!
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_solar_1() {
$.get("f_solar_1.php");
return false;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function refresh(){
location.reload(true);}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function both(){
f_solar_1()
setTimeout(refresh, 5);
}
</script>
Activate
Details:
This code is an excerpt from my php page that displays a table from my mysql database (I'm using wamp).
The "Activate" text at the bottom is supposed to UPDATE a variable on that table, and does so via the f_solar_1.php file.
The issue is the table reflecting the database does not automatically reflect this change.
So I made a "reload()" function to refresh the page, and the "both()" function to time the refresh after updating the database.
I have known basic html for a while, but I am new to mysql, ajax, and php as of this morning, and this is my attempt to dive into it.
My code works fine, it just bothers me not knowing if I can accomplish the same thing within one function.
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE: Thankyou to Dat Pham for pointing me in the right direction!
<script type="text/javascript">
function newfunc(){
$.get( "f_solar_1.php", function( data ) {
location.reload(true);
});}
</script>
<span onclick="newfunc();">newfunc</span>
The code is all in one function (well...) and without causing a refresh and php recall timing conflict.
Making 1 function do all the thing is considered bad practice, a function should do and only do an atomic task. Your code is fine except some minor points:
ajax call $.get() and location.reload should not be used with each other as this destroy the meaning of ajax call. You can pass a callback function to handle data from backend server like
$.get( "f_solar_1.php", function( data ) {
alert( "Load was performed." );
});
Combine all your script tags into 1 with all your function declare
Regards,
Have you checked the database through the backend (phpmyadmin for example) and verified if the changes are being made even though it's not displaying?
i'm wondering if your page isn't really refreshing, and simply going to "#". Check the "return false" - it's not really applying to the "A" link, you would have to put "return false" in the 'both' function for that to cancel the link. But you might not want to do it that way after taking a minute to read this: The return false onclick anchor not completely working
additionally, I'd recommend using the jquery add event listener to trigger your function calls, and get the onClick out of your html tag. Bonus if you learn how to do it without jquery. Read this real quick jquery href and onclick separation
some info
I'm working on a webpage that can load data on multiple layouts, so user can choose which one is best. It can be loaded in a list or a cards like interface, and the data is loaded using ajax.
In this page I also have a notifier for new messages that the user received. The ajax function is new, and when page was loaded by the php scripts, the js script (that add a badge with the number of unread messages to a link on a menu item) was working ok.
I'm using HTML5, PHP, jQuery and a mySQL DB.
jQuery is imported onto the HTML using
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"> </script>
So it's a recent version.
the problem
Now, when I load the data onto the page using ajax, the js script won't work anymore. I had the same issue with another js script and I managed to solve it by using the delegate event binder.
But my unread messages updater runs on a time interval, using
<body onload="setInterval('unread()', 1000)">
the unread() js is quite simple:
function unread() {
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#menu_item').load('ajax_countNewMsgs.php');
});
}
it calls a php script which grabs the unread msgs count from the DB and echo into a element that jQuery will point. Hope I'm being clear.
The problem is that I cannot figure out how I would call a timed event using delegate. Without much hope I've tried
$(document).on('ready()','#menu_item', function () {
$(this).load('ajax_countNewMsgs.php');
});
That didn't work.
I read many posts about js stop working after changes in the DOM, but, again, I couldn't figure out a way to solve that, nor found a similar question.
Any help or tips would be highly appreciated.
EDITED to change second php script's name
2nd EDIT - trying to make things clearer
I tried the way #carter suggested
$(document).ready(function(){
function unread(){
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax_countNewMsgs.php',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'html',
success: function(response){
$('#menu_item').html(response);
},
error: function(response){
//no error handling at this time
}
});
}
setInterval(unread(), 1000);
});
the ajax_countNewMsgs.php script connects to the DB, fetch the unread messages, and echoes the number of unread messages.
If I try to apply the ajax reponse to another element, say, the <body> the results are as expected: at each 1 sec , the body html is changed. So the function is working.
As I said, none of my JS changes the #menu_item. Actuallly this element is part of another php scritp (menu.php) which is imported to the top of the page.
the page structure is this way:
<html>
<head>
some tags here
</head>
<body>
<?php include (php/menu.html); ?>this will include menu with the #menu_item element here
<div id='wrapper'>
<div id='data'>
here goes the data displayed in two ways (card and list like). Itens outside div wrapper are not being changed.
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Even though the elemente is not being rewritten js cannot find it to update it's value.
It's not the full code, but I think you can see what is being done.
$(document).on('ready()','#menu_item', function () {
is an invalid event listener. If you wanted to be made aware of when the DOM is ready you should do this:
$(document).ready(function () {
However I don't think that is actually what you want. Your function unread will fire repeatedly but it attaches an event listener everytime. Instead if you want to make an ajax call every so many seconds after initial page load, you should do something like this (dataType property could be html, json, etc. pick your poison):
$(document).ready(function(){
function makeCall(){
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax_countNewMsgs.php',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'html',
success: function(response){
//handle your response
},
error: function(response){
//handle your error
}
});
}
setInterval(makeCall, 1000);
});
remove that on your unread function:
$(document).ready(function(){
WHY?
The Document is already "ready" and this document state will only fired 1x - After that the "ready state" will never ever called. Use follwing syntax:
jQuery(function($){
I am appending an HTML document into my current page using Ajax, and removing those added divs when the close button is pressed. The problem is that when I close, the divs are removed from the document but the CSS <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> are not removed, and the number keep increasing as I load and unload Ajax content. How to completely remove the loaded document with the header content (css, js) of that page?
edit: i dont know why people dont want to answer but they just come to negative voting.
this is the code that i have used to add(append the html document)
$(function(){
$("a[rel='tab']").click(function(e){
pageurl = $(this).attr('href');
$.get(pageurl, function(html) {
$(html).hide().appendTo('body').fadeIn(500);
}, 'html');
//to change the browser URL to the given link location
if(pageurl!=window.location){
window.history.pushState({path:pageurl},'',pageurl);
}
//stop refreshing to the page given in
return false;
});
});
and this code to remove the divs
function close(){
$("#mainContent").fadeOut(500, function() { $(this).remove(); });
window.history.back();
} ;
I can't see the document that you are attempting to add/remove, but I'm guessing it looks something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<div id="main-content">
<p>Blah blah blah</p>
</div>
So when you add that content, the whole thing is inserted. When you remove it, you are only removing the div#main-content. To remove everything, two ideas come to mind:
Preferably, wrap the document in another <div> and remove that instead
Alternatively, you could select <link> elements that are siblings of the 'div#main-content`, but that has the potential to be more unpredictable.
If the document you are adding doesn't look like that, then please explain in the OP what it does look like and where the <link> elements are coming from.
If you are doing something like a HTML preview in another page, look into creating an iframe instead. Use AJAX to create a temporary URL as the source. The advantage is that you avoid conflicts that occur when you effectively merge two DOMs.
I wanted to load some fragments of external content inside a div, through a menu.
Found "load" and "live", found a tutorial used it = success!
Except, like what's explicit in the documentation, it doesn't load JavaScript.
The thing is, the destination page already loads, inside the header, that same JavaScript, 'cause Wordpress loads it in every page. In this particular page, I'm only using the plugin (nextgen gallery) through the jQuery AJAX call.
So, what I believe is my problem is that I somehow need to alert/reload the JavaScript, right?
And how can I do this?
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
// ajax pagination
jQuery('#naveg a').live('click', function(){ // if not using wp-page-numbers, change this to correct ID
var link = jQuery(this).attr('href');
// #main is the ID of the outer div wrapping your posts
jQuery('#fora').html('<div class="loading"><h2>Loading...</h2></div>');
// #entries is the ID of the inner div wrapping your posts
jQuery('#fora').load(link+' #dentro')
return false;
});
}); // end ready function
</script>
PS: I've substituted "live" with "on" but didn't work either.
I'm not sure if I understand... your load() command is puling in some Javascript that you want executed? I'm not sure if you can do that. But if you just need to call some JS upon load() completion, you can pass it a function like so:
jQuery('#fora').load(link+' #dentro', function() {
console.log("load completed");
// JS code to be executed...
});
If you want to execute Javascript code included in the loaded page (the page you retrieve via .load()), than you have to use the url-parameter without the "suffixed selector expression". See jQuery documentation for (.load()):
Note: When calling .load() using a URL without a suffixed selector expression, the content is passed to .html() prior to scripts being
removed. This executes the script blocks before they are discarded. If
.load() is however called with a selector expression appended to the
URL, the scripts are stripped out prior to the DOM being updated,
which is why they are never executed. An example of both cases can be
seen below:
Here, any JavaScript loaded into #a as a part of the document will
successfully execute.
$('#a').load('article.html');
However in this case, script blocks in the document being loaded into
#b are stripped out prior to being executed:
$('#b').load('article.html #target');
I think that's your problem (although I have no solution for you, sorry).
Proposal: Maybe you can load the whole page (including the Scripts) and remove (or hide) the parts you don't need?
Cheers.
