I'm having issues getting jQuery tooltips (using Tipsy) to work. The tooltips work fine on regular pages, but I actually need the tooltips on a page that I am including through PHP. The reason why I'm including that page, is because I'm also using jQuery to auto-refresh that included page every x milliseconds.
It appears that this auto-refresh mechanism is keeping the tooltips from functioning properly. When I remove that mechanism, the tooltips appear but that part of the page obviously does not reload itself anymore at an interval. I'm looking for a way to get Tipsy to work while making sure my included page refreshes itself.
I include my page as follows:
<div id="vardisplay">
<?php include("vardisplay.php"); ?>
</div>
I then use the following script to refresh the "vardisplay" DIV, resulting in my included page to be reloaded:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#vardisplay').load('editarticle.php?bid=<?php echo $bnummer ?> #vardisplay');
var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
$('#vardisplay').load('editarticle.php?bid=<?php echo $bnummer ?> #vardisplay')}, 750);
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
});
</script>
The object I would want a Tipsy tooltip on (within my included page) could be something like:
<div id="TipsyMe" title="I got tipsied">
<p>Testpiece</p>
</div>
I'm currently trying to achieve that particular tooltip by putting this script on that page, which is supposed to show "I got tipsied" in a Tipsy tooltip:
<script>
$(function() {
$("#TipsyMe").tipsy({gravity: 's'});
});
</script>
What ends up showing is a regular browser tooltip where jQuery is fully ignored. Again, it works fine when I remove the auto-refresh mechanism on the main page.
I'm dumbfounded at this point. I've been Googling for the past few hours without any result what-so-ever. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
in the tipsy doc, you can stumble upon an option called "live"
$(function() {
$("#TipsyMe").tipsy({
gravity: 's',
live: true
});
});
shall do it. (as you seem new, accepting answer will attract people for your future answer hint hint hint :P)
be careful thou: "live tooltips do not support manual triggering." (from the doc)
EDIT: didn't see properly your code:
$(function() {
$("div.someTotal").tipsy({
gravity: 's',
live: true,
title: "I got tipsied"
});
});
"someTotal" is the class for all you "boxes" where you have the edit and delete icon. If you don't have such class yet, you can create one (you can name it tipsy by example) and use it ($("div.tipsy").tipsy({...

The problem is this:
I have a simple, two fields form which I submit with Ajax.
Upon completion I reload two div's to reflect the changes.
Everything is working perfect except a jQuery plugin. It's a simple plugin that can be called with simple
function(){
$('.myDiv').scrollbars();
}
It's simple and easy to use, but it doesn't work on Ajax loaded content. Here is the code I use to post form and reload div's:
$(function() {
$('#fotocoment').on('submit', function(e) {
$.post('submitfotocoment.php', $(this).serialize(), function (data) {
$(".coment").load("fotocomajax.php");
}).error(function() {
});
e.preventDefault();
});
});
I've tried creating a function and calling it in Ajax succes:, but no luck. Can anyone show me how to make it work ? How can that simple plugin can be reloaded or reinitialized or, maybe, refreshed. I've studied a lot of jQuery's functions, including ajaxStop, ajaxComplete ... nothing seems to be working or I'm doing something wrong here.
If you're loading elements dynamically after DOM Document is already loaded (like through AJAX in your case) simple binding .scrollbars() to element won't work, even in $(document).ready() - you need to use "live" event(s) - that way jQuery will "catch" dynamically added content:
$(selector).live(events, data, handler); // jQuery 1.3+
$(document).delegate(selector, events, data, handler); // jQuery 1.4.3+
$(document).on(events, selector, data, handler); // jQuery 1.7+
Source: jQuery Site
Even if I am totally against using such plugins, which tries to replicate your browser's components, I'll try to give some hints.
I suppose you are using this scrollbars plugin. In this case you may want to reinitialize the scrollbars element, and there are many ways to do this. You could create the element again like in the following example
<div class="holder">
<div class="scrollme">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/400/300" />
</div>
</div>
.....
$('.scrollme').scrollbars();
...
fakedata = "<div class='scrollme'>Fake response from your server<br /><img src='http://placekitten.com/g/500/300' /></div>";
$.post('/echo/html/', function(response){
$('.holder').html(fakedata);
$('.scrollme').scrollbars();
});
If you want to update the contents of an already initialized widget instead, then things gets more complicated. Once your plugin initialize, it moves the content in some custom wrappers in order to do its 'magic', so make sure you update the correct element, then trigger the resize event on window, pray and hopefully your widget gets re-evaluated.
If it doesn't help, then try to come up with some more details about your HTML structure.
I want to thank everyone of you who took their time to answer me with this problem I have. However, the answer came to me after 4 days of struggle and "inventions" :), and it's not a JS or Jquery solution, but a simple logic in the file.
Originally, I call my functions and plugins at the beginning of the document in "head" tag, like any other programmer out here (there are exceptions also ).
Then my visitors open my blog read it and they want to post comments. But there are a lot of comments, and I don't want to scroll the entire page, or use the default scroll bars, simply because they're ugly and we don't have cross browser support to style that, just yet.
So I .post() the form with the comment, and simply reload the containing all of them. Naturally .scrollbars() plugin doesn't work. Here come the solution.
If I put this :
<script>$('.showcoment').scrollbars();</script>
in the beginning of my loaded document (with load() ), will not work, because is not HTML and it's getting removed automatically. BUT !!! If i do this:
<div><script>$('.showcoment').scrollbars();</script></div>
at the same beginning of loaded document, MAGIC .... it works. The logic that got me there I found it in the basics of javascript. If your script is inside an HTML element, it will be parsed without any problem.
Thank you all again, and I hope my experience will help others.
If I understand you correctly, try this:
var scrollelement = $('.myDiv').scrollbars();
var api = scrollelement.data('jsp');
$(function () {
$('#fotocoment').on('submit', function (e) {
$.post('submitfotocoment.php', $(this).serialize(), function (data) {
$(".coment").load("fotocomajax.php");
api.reinitialise();
}).error(function () {
});
e.preventDefault();
});
});
reinitialise - standart api function, updates scrolbars.
I'm currently learning PHP through a real website project and want to use Ajax calls to change sections of the website.
CODE SAMPLE
myproject.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#inventory").click(function() {
$.ajaxSetup({
url: "sectionhandler.php?section='inventory'",
type: "get",
dataType: "html"
});
$.ajax().done(function(html) {
alert(html); // This works!
$("#section").html(html); // This doesn't work.
$("#section").append(html); // This neither.
});
});
});
inventory.html
<table><tr><td>Hello world with AJAX!</td></tr></table>
sectionhandler.php
<?php echo file_get_contents( 'inventory.html' ); ?>
menu.html
<a id="inventory" href="">Inventory</a>
index.php
<div id="menu" class="content"><?php echo file_get_contents( 'menu.html' ); ?></div>
<div id="section" class="content"></div>

RESULT
When I click on the Inventory link contained within menu.html and displayed through index.php, the jQuery code executes just fine. I get the result from the server while displaying the right content from inventory.html in the alert().
However, when I come to either set the innerHTML to the <div id="section" class="content"></div>, I can't seem to be able to get the expected result. The background of the page seems to flash, though not supposed to as per Ajax definition, and the content of my XMLHttpRequest.responseText never get displayed.
The closer I got to make it work was when I was double-clicking on the Inventory link, so that after the first "flash" from the page background, it showed the content of my section.
I have tried multiple ways using classic Javascript with an onclick element on my <a> tag, I have tried with document.getElementById("section"), though getting the right element, I was not able to show my content on the page.
Any thoughts are welcome!
Thanks in advance ! =)
With all chance, you need to prevent browser default behavior:
$("#inventory").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
...
});
Notice the event parameter added to the click handler.
By the way, you HTML response is invalid - a <table> should contain a <tbody> element wrapping any <tr>s.
As requested. A more simple solution
$("#section").load("sectionhandler.php?section=inventory");
jQuery .load()
For a website I'm making for school, I'm trying my hand at using Jquery extensively for the first time, and even though I managed quite a bit so far, I'm stuck at two (most likely related) problems.
I'm aware that the upcoming case is somewhat long, but I feel it's necessary to submit all relevant code for everyone reading this to get a good image of what is happening.
Basically, the website is one index.html file, with the CSS thrown in, a few buttons, and one div with the ID content. I use this code to make this work:
<script type="text/javascript">
if ($('#content').innerHTML == " "){
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').load('main_text.html');
});
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadContent(elementSelector, sourceURL) {
$(""+elementSelector+"").load(""+sourceURL+"");
}
</script>
Then there is one content page, named search.html, which only contains a form that submits a search string to a search.php page (through ajax) that should then place the search results immediately back into a div called search_results in that same search.html file. The jquery that I use for this:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#search_results").slideUp();
$("#search_button").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
ajax_search();
});
$("#search_term").keyup(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
ajax_search();
});
});
function ajax_search(){
$("#search_results").show();
var search_val=$("#search_term").val();
$.post("Functions/search.php", {search_term : search_val}, function(data){
if (data.length>0){
$("#search_results").html(data);
}
})
}
</script>
The issue that I'm having is as followed:
Before I had the first line of code: if ($('#content').innerHTML == " "){; implemented, I would open the site, main_text.html would nicely be loaded in, I could navigate to other subpages fine. But typing in something in the form field in search.html did not display any results (just typing should already trigger the function). When I hit the search button on this form, instead of seeing query results, the main_text.html file load again in the #content div. This made me assume that perhaps, somehow, that the code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').load('main_text.html');
});
was being called again unwanted. Hency why I implemented that check for whether innerHTML existed.
However, now, when I first load the page, the #content div does not load any initial content at all. (The section on the webpage just becomes black, like my page background) I have to click any button to get some content loaded again in my main content div. Also, when I now go back to the search.html, the typing anything to get results, like previously, still does not work. If I now hit the search button, I get the initial result again of what I'd see when I just opened the page: a blacked out #content div.
So somehow, the biggest issue is in the fact that the jquery to get results from my PHP do not seem to work. My problem with the content.innerhtml check might well be obsolete if the issue with the searchresults not displaying in the #search_result div on the search.html is fixed.
Anyone have any idea's what I could do to fix this. Or otherwise, what other approaches I could take for the kind of website I'm making. Since I'm trying to learn jquery here, better approaches are always appreciated, I'd rather learn myself doing this the right way and all. :)
Thanks for your time.
Few things to note here:
<script type="text/javascript">
if ($('#content').innerHTML == " "){
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').load('main_text.html');
});
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadContent(elementSelector, sourceURL) {
$(""+elementSelector+"").load(""+sourceURL+"");
}
</script>
In the above, you are testing to see if there is a space in the innerHTML of the element with an id of content.
jQuery uses .html() or .text() to make comparisons against the data being held within a container, so if you want to maintain using jQuery principles, change this line. Going along the same thought process, you are preparing an IF statement on an element before the document is actually ready and loaded.
You should move the document.ready function to the outside of the if statement. This will allow you to ensure that the element is available at DOM, and you can indeed perform checks against this element.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($('#content').html("")){
$('#content').load('main_text.html');
}
});
</script>
Also, while being readily provided and fully functional, I would recommend starting off using $.ajax instead of $.get / $.post. I have personal preferences as to why I think this, but I won't go into that, it's just that, personal.
$.ajax({
url: "Functions/search.php",
type: 'POST',
data: "search_term="+search_val,
success: function(data){
if (data.length>0){
$("#search_results").html(data);
}
});
Lastly, you should be using the GET method and NOT the POST method. Based on REST/SOAP practices, you are retrieving data from the server, and not posting data to the server. It's best practice to follow those two simple ideas. This isn't because web servers will have a difficult time interpreting the data; but, instead, it's to prepare you for working on larger scale application deployment, or future team-environments. This way everyone on the team has an expectation as to what method will be used for what purpose.
Anyway, long story short, you also leave semicolons off of the end of your closing }) brackets. While this is not an issue, nor will it cause flaws in your development, coding is all about uniformity. You've used the closing ; everywhere else, so try and maintain that same uniform design.
Best of luck.
I am redoing my site and have at any time 80-120 vehicles, all identified in my db by their unique stock number. I'm using jQuery's accordion to list the vehicles:
http://www.login.carcityofdanbury.com/New/?cat=01
How do I embed edit.php?stock=__STOCK__ into the div of the open accordion, once the accordion opens?
I tried just using just an HTML <embed> tag, but it is making the page load extremely slow.
I am new to the whole jQuery, Ajax, coding thing and am completely a self taught "learn as I go" guy, so a demo, tutorial or example would be great.
You could use a combination of jQuery .load function (http://api.jquery.com/load/) and the jQuery UI Accordion change event (http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/#event-change) which gets triggered after an accordion slide opens:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#listVehicles").accordion({
collapsible: true,
active: false,
autoHeight: false,
change: function(event, ui){
ui.newContent.load('edit.php', { stock: __STOCK__ });
}
});
});
When the change event is triggered, the edit.php file is loaded using AJAX and the HTML is dropped into the opened accordion slide.
You could get some help here:
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
Example:
$.ajax({
url: "yourPage.php",
success: function(data){
$("#youarea").text(data);
}
});
I would recommend using the jQuery load() function which is designed for this specifically. You give it an element, and a url and it will load the content into the element.
So, in your Accordion handling code, you'll want to place the following:
$('#elementToLoadInto').load('edit.php?stock='+id');
From there, your PHP page should server up a single (or multiple if needed) <div> element, not a full HTML page. That content will be placed into #elementToLoadInto exactly as it is, just like it was coded there.
jQuery can also load only a piece of the page, so you could also take advantage of that functionality if you need to return a full HTML page for some other reasons.
Trying to load an external php file into another onClick. Iframes will not work as the size of the content changes with collapsible panels. That leaves AJAX. I was given a piece of code
HTML
Get data
<div id="myContainer"></div>
JS
$('#getData').click(function(){
$.get('data.php', { section: 'mySection' }, function(data){
$('#myContainer').html(data);
});
});
PHP:
<?php
if($_GET['section'] === 'mySection') echo '<span style="font-weigth:bold;">Hello World</span>';
?>
I have tested it here http://www.divethegap.com/scuba-diving-programmes-dive-the-gap/programme-pages/dahab-divemaster/divemaster-trainingA.php and get the most unexpected results. It certainly loads the right amount of items as it says in the lower bar on safari but I see three small calendars and that is it. Can anyone see where I have made a mistake?
First things first, you want to have the jQuery bit inside the ready function $(document).ready(function(){..}. In your test page, there is already a ready function at the top which contains the line $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox(), so you might want to put the code there.
Secondly, you want to prevent the link from going to the default action, which is to load the url '#'. You do that with the preventDefault() method.
I tested and confirmed that the following code should work for you:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#getData').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.get('test.php', { cat: 16 }, function(data){
$('#myContainer p').html(data);
});
});
});</script>
You can find more details and examples of jQuery's get function here.
