ajax jquery doesnt work on ie - php

Hey guys. I'm usign a js/ajax script that doesnt work with internet explorer. Firefox its ok.
Btw the head tag, im using this:
$(document).ready(function () {
//Check if url hash value exists (for bookmark)
$.history.init(pageload);
//highlight the selected link
$('a[href=' + document.location.hash + ']').addClass('selected');
//Seearch for link with REL set to ajax
$('a[rel=ajax]').click(function () {
//grab the full url
var hash = this.href;
//remove the # value
hash = hash.replace(/^.*#/, '');
//for back button
$.history.load(hash);
//clear the selected class and add the class class to the selected link
$('a[rel=ajax]').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
//hide the content and show the progress bar
$('#content').hide();
$('#loading').show();
//run the ajax
getPage();
//cancel the anchor tag behaviour
return false;
});
});
function pageload(hash) {
//if hash value exists, run the ajax
if (hash) getPage();
}
function getPage() {
//generate the parameter for the php script
var data = 'page=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.hash);
$.ajax({
url: "http://pathfofolder/js/loader.php",
type: "GET",
data: data,
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
//hide the progress bar
$('#loading').hide();
//add the content retrieved from ajax and put it in the #content div
$('#content').html(html);
//display the body with fadeIn transition
$('#content').fadeIn('slow');
}
});
}
The loader.php contain the php code to get pages, something like:
switch($_GET['page']) {
case '#link1' : $page = 'contenthere'; break;
}
echo $page;
So, on the links, i'm using Link 1 to load the content into the div content.
The script does works well with firefox, but with internet explorer it doesnt load the content. Could someone pls help me to fix this?
It not go into the success function at all on IE, and i'm getting no html error from IE too.
Best Regards.

Make sure your html is sounds. FF tends to auto fix the syntax.

Posting to a PHP script with Ajax (Jquery)

I have an application that I'm writing that, in one aspect of it, you click on a checkmark to complete a task, a popup window is displayed (using bootstrap), you enter your hours, and then that is sent to a PHP page to update the database. I'm using FF (firebug) to view the post. It's coming up red but not giving me an error. The only thing I'm doing is echoing out "sup" on the PHP page, and it's still showing errors, and I can't figure out why.
This is my initial click function:
$('.complete').on('click', function(event) {
var id = $(this).attr('data-id');
var tr = $(this).parent().parent();
var span = $(tr).children('td.task-name');
var r = (confirm('Are you sure you want to complete this task?'));
if (r){
addHours(id);
} else {
return false;
} // end else
});
That works fine, and it fires my next function which actually fires the bootstrap modal:
function addHours(id) {
var url = 'load/hours.php?id='+id;
$.get(url, function(data) {
$('<div class="modal hide fade in" id="completeTask">' + data + '</div>').modal()
.on('shown', function() {
pendingTask(id);
}); // end callback
}).success(function() {
$('input:text:visible:first').focus();
});
} // end function
This is also working, and the modal is displayed just fine. However, whenever I post the form to my logic page, it fails for no reason. This is the function to post the form to the logic page:
function pendingTask(id) {
$('.addHours').on('click', function(event) {
var formData = $('form#CompleteTask').serializeObject();
$.ajax({
url:'logic/complete-with-hours.php',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: formData,
success: function(data) {
if (data.status == 'error') {
$(this).attr('checked', false);
//location.reload();
} // end if
else {
$(this).attr('checked', true);
//location.reload();
} // end else
},
dataType: 'json'
});
}); // end click
} // end function
When this is fired, I see this in my Firebug console:
I know this is a lot of information, but I wanted to provide as much information as I could. Every other post function in the application is working fine. It's just this one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The jQuery.ajax data parameter takes a simple object of key value pairs. The problem could be that the object created by serializeObject() is too complex. If that's the case, you could either process the formData object to simplify it or try data: JSON.stringify(formData)
Does serializeObject() even exist in jQuery? is that a function you wrote yourself? Can you use jQuery functions like serialize() or serializeArray() to serialize the form data and see how it goes.
Usually the red indicates a 404 response error. We can't tell in this screen shot. Check your php code by directly calling the requested page and getting a proper response.
Also make sure your dataType is application/json which is the proper mime type header (though I don't think this is causing the error). You also should only have dataType once (you have it again at the bottom)
I figured it out. I changed the post type from the structure I entered above to a standard post:
$("#CompleteTask").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
var hours = $('#hours').val();
$.post('logic/complete-with-hours.php', {'hours': hours, 'id':id},
function(data){
if (data.status == 'success') {
$(checkmark).attr('checked', false);
$('.message').html(data.message).addClass('success').show();
} // end if
if (data.status == 'error') {
$('.message').html(data.message).addClass('error').show();
} // end else
},
"json"
); //end POST
} // end submit handler
}); // end validate
That seemed to do the trick

calling on a complex function with onClick (ajax)

So I have this chunk of code here (below). It waits for a video to finish playing and then it looks up a cookie, sends that info to a php script through ajax, gets back a url from json, and reloads an iframe with a new url.
So I think you'll agree, it's sorta a lot going on.
Its purpose is to advance ONE forward in a playlist of videos. I am trying to create a button area where a user can click a >> sort of button and go forward. Which is exactly what this function does.
Rather than starting from scratch with a new function, is there a way to activate all of the above function functionality (ajax and all) when the user clicks that button?
<script>
function ready(player_id)
{
$f('play').addEvent('ready', function()
{
$f('play').addEvent('finish', onFinish);
});
function onFinish(play)
{
var now_video_var = $.cookie('now_video');
console.log ('player ' + now_video_var + ' has left the building');
var intermediate_integer = parseInt(now_video_var);
var request2 = $.ajax({
url : "geturl.php",
data : {intermediate_integer : intermediate_integer},
type : 'post'
}).done(function(data) {
var gotfrom = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
var NEWURL = gotfrom[1] ;
console.log(gotfrom);
console.log(data);
console.log(gotfrom[1]);
var theiframeforrealyo = document.getElementById('play');
$(theiframeforrealyo).attr("src", "http://player.vimeo.com/video/" + gotfrom[1] +"?api=1&player_id=play&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1");
var new_video_var = intermediate_integer +1;
$.cookie('now_video', new_video_var);
console.log ( 'cookie function ok: the cookie is....');
console.log ($.cookie('now_video'));
});
}
}
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
//Attach the ready event to the iframe
$f(document.getElementById('play')).addEvent('ready', ready);
});
</script>

ie and jquery $.get not working

I am trying to update the content of a div with a $.get call but it is failing in ie(9).
the js is this
function UpdateElementOfParent(box_id, page_ref, template_ref)
{
$.get("get_content.php", { box_id: box_id, page_ref: page_ref, template_ref:template_ref } )
.done(function(data) {
$('#'+box_id).html(data);
});
}
and the get_content.php is this
<?php
include("connect.php");
$page_ref = $_GET['page_ref'];
$template_ref = $_GET['template_ref'];
$box_id = $_GET['box_id'];
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM site_content WHERE page_ref='$page_ref' AND template_ref='$template_ref' AND box_id='$box_id' AND box_type='text'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
echo stripslashes($row['content']);
}
?>
it works fine in firefox/chrome/safari and opera.
the php updates the db but the div ("#"+box_id) doesnt update in ie (only have ie9 at hand so dont know if its just 9 or other versions also)
any clues?
QUICK UPDATE
it seems that ie is holding some data from a previous $.get call in the cache. Basically I have a div on the screen and when the user clicks a button, a layer opens with a textarea that is editable with nicedit.
The textarea is populated with a $.get, then the user clicks save, the layer is hidden and the original div on the parent page is updated with the same $.get call.
In ie, if I change the content, the db is updated but the div is not and when I open the layer, it still shows the old data.
the first $.get call is this
$.get("get_content.php", { box_id: box_id, page_ref: page_ref, template_ref:template_ref } )
.done(function(data) {
document.getElementById("edit_content").value=data;
area1 = new nicEditor({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance("edit_content",{hasPanel : true});
});
the alerted data doesnt show the updated text in IE so its definately something to do with the $.get call
I figured out the problem. Nothing to do with the selector, but with the scope of the parameter variable box_id.
Change your function to:
function UpdateElementOfParent(box_id, page_ref, template_ref) {
myBox = box_id;
$.get("get_content.php", { box_id: box_id, page_ref: page_ref, template_ref:template_ref })
.done(function(data) {
$('#'+myBox).html(data);
});
}
Explanation:
The AJAX callback function does not have access to the local variable in UpdateElementOfParent
This isn't an answer, as the question is incomplete, but I need to post a code comment to assist OP.
As you mentioned that the PHP works just fine, the problem might be that IE doesn't like dynamic selectors in jQuery. Do try these few options:
1) Change $('#'+box_id).html(data); to:
var id = '#'+box_id;
$(id).html(data);
2) Try logging or alert-ing the element out, to see if IE actually got the element right:
var elem = $('#'+box_id);
alert(elem);
elem.html(data);
This would display as [HTMLDivElement] or something similar if the element is there.
3) If all else fails, see if this vanilla JS works in IE, to verify that it isn't a jQuery selector problem.
var elem = document.getElementById(box_id);
alert(elem);
elem.innerHTML = data;
ok problem solved and I knew it was something very obvious.
inside the original $.get function call I have to set the document.ready state
function get_edit_content(box_id,page_ref,template_ref)
{
$(document).ready(function() { <<<<<HERE
if(area1) {
area1.removeInstance('edit_content');
area1 = null;
document.getElementById("edit_content").value="";
}
$.get("get_content.php", { box_id: box_id, page_ref: page_ref, template_ref:template_ref } )
.done(function(data) {
document.getElementById("edit_content").value=data;
document.getElementById("page_ref").value=page_ref;
document.getElementById("template_ref").value=template_ref;
document.getElementById("box_id").value = box_id;
area1 = new nicEditor({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance("edit_content",{hasPanel : true});
});
});
}
thanks for all the input

AJAX: Open content in another div

I'm working with AJAX on a website and I'm currently making some pages to load on a certain div: "pageContent". Now I have another content I want to be opened on another div: "reproductor". I want to open 'page' in 'pageContent' div and 'play' in 'reproductor' div. I don't know how to modify my script.js and load_page.php files in order to make it work. Here's what I got:
HTML:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
PAGE
PLAY
<div id ="pageContent"></div>
<div id="reproductor"></div>
script.js:
var default_content="";
$(document).ready(function(){
checkURL();
$('ul li a').click(function (e){
checkURL(this.hash);
});
default_content = $('#pageContent').html();
setInterval("checkURL()",250);
});
var lasturl="";
function checkURL(hash)
{
if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash;
if(hash != lasturl)
{
lasturl=hash;
if(hash=="")
$('#pageContent').html(default_content);
else
loadPage(hash);
}
}
function loadPage(url)
{
url=url.replace('#page','');
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_page.php",
data: 'page='+url,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0)
{
$('#pageContent').html(msg);
$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
}
}
});
}
load_page.php:
<?php
if(!$_POST['page']) die("0");
$page = (int)$_POST['page'];
if(file_exists('pages/page_'.$page.'.html'))
echo file_get_contents('pages/page_'.$page.'.html');
else
echo 'There is no such page!';
?>
I forgot to mention: I have my 'pages' content in a folder named 'pages' and my 'play' content in another named 'plays'.
Thanks for your help!
The easiest way to load content from a resource that serves HTML into an element is to use load:
$('#reproductor').load('public_html/plays/play_1.html', function(){
//stuff to do after load goes here
});
You could also apply this technique to the other div you are trying to load content into.
If I understand, your have two groups of links (for pages and a play list) each one to be loaded in a different container. Here is something you can try: mainly I eliminated the global variables and put the current hash inside each containter's data, and separated the management of the two groups of links.
In this code I supposed you have a separate load_play.php file. If not, then you can use the same page for both kind of links, but you'll have to merge loadPlay with loadPage, change loadPage(newHash) to loadPage(newHash, linkType) and change the ajax parameter from 'page='+newHash to 'number='+newHash+'&type='+linkType, and do the corresponding changes server side in your PHP page. I would recommend you to create two separate PHP files in order to manage the two types of content.
I remember you where doing something with the hash of the current page's url, you can still set it in the ajax's success, inside the loadPage function.
Here is a working sfiddle example with some console calls (open browser's console) but without the ajax call.
UPDATE:
I updated the code, so your can manage the dynamically added links (new content loaded via AJAX) and fixed the management of urls with hashes, which was broken because of the new code.
<div id="#page">
PAGE 1
PAGE 2
PLAY 1
PLAY 2
PLAY 3
<div id ="pageContent"></div>
<div id="reproductor"></div>
</div>
And this is the javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#pageContent').data('currentPage', '');
$('#reproductor').data('currentPlay', '');
//This will allow it to work even on dynamically created links
$('#page').on('click', '.pageLink', function (e){
loadPage(this.hash);
});
$('#page').on('click', '.playLink', function (e){
loadPlay(this.hash);
});
//And this is for managing the urls with hashes (for markers)
var urlLocation = location.hash;
if(urlLocation.indexOf("#page") > -1){
$('.pageLink[href='+ urlLocation +']').trigger('click')
}
});
function loadPage(newHash)
{
//This is the current Page
var curHash = $('#pageContent').data('currentPage');
//and this is the new one
newHash = newHash.replace('#page', '');
if(curHash===newHash){
//If already loaded: do nothing
return
}
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_page.php",
data: 'page='+newHash,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0)
{
$('#pageContent').html(msg).data('currentPage',newHash);
$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
}
}
});
}
function loadPlay(newHash)
{//Similar to loadPage...
var curHash = $('#reproductor').data('currentPlay');
newHash = newHash.replace('#play', '');
if(curHash===newHash){return}
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_play.php",
data: 'play='+newHash,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0)
{
$('#reproductor').html(msg).data('currentPlay',newHash);
$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
}
}
});
}
Check this and comment if this is what you need, or I got something wrong :)
There are a number of reasons why the following is not an ideal solution. The most glaring would be security - by modifying the href attribute of the link before clicking it, the user can certainly get your server to serve up any html on your server.
EDIT I've removed my original answer, because I can't recommend it's usage.
As Asad suggested, you can also use jQuery load and pass it the relevant url using some of the code above
function loadPage(url)
{
// remove the hash in url
url=url.replace('#','');
// extract page or play - only works for four letter words
var contentType=url.substr(0,4);
// extract the number
var contentId=url.substr(4);
if ( $contentType == "page") {
$("#pageContent #loading").css('visibility','visible');
$("#pageContent").load($contentType+'s/'+$contentType+'_'+$contentId+'.html');
$("#pageContent #loading").css('visibility','hidden');
} else if ( $contentType == "play") {
$("#reporductor #loading").css('visibility','visible');
$("#reproductor").load($contentType+'s/'+$contentType+'_'+$contentId+'.html');
$("#reporductor #loading").css('visibility','hidden');
}
}

Ajaxpageloak with Hash(#) with exception when have number(Ex.: #1)

I'm using this code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function () {
//Check if url hash value exists (for bookmark)
$.history.init(pageload);
//highlight the selected link
$('a[href=' + document.location.hash + ']').addClass('selected');
//Seearch for link with REL set to ajax
$('a[rel=ajax]').click(function () {
//grab the full url
var hash = this.href;
//remove the # value
hash = hash.replace(/^.*#/, '');
//for back button
$.history.load(hash);
//clear the selected class and add the class class to the selected link
$('a[rel=ajax]').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
//hide the content and show the progress bar
$('#ajax').hide();
$('#loading').show();
//run the ajax
getPage();
//cancel the anchor tag behaviour
return false;
});
});
function pageload(hash) {
//if hash value exists, run the ajax
if (hash) getPage();
}
function getPage() {
//generate the parameter for the php script
var data = 'page=' + document.location.hash.replace(/^.*#/, '');
$.ajax({
url: "loader.php",
type: "GET",
data: data,
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
//hide the progress bar
$('#loading').hide();
//add the content retrieved from ajax and put it in the #content div
$('#ajax').html(html);
//display the body with fadeIn transition
$('#ajax').fadeIn('slow');
}
});
}
</script>
So I have to use: page to run the ajax ... However, I am using in some places:
Go to some <a href='#1'> notices </ a> for example ... And when you click, instead of just driving to the id = '1 ', is doing the ajax code to run.
How do I add an exception and not when you run the code number in the hash?
If you want to check the existence of a digit in your hash string, you can easily use RegExp.
This way you can create a pattern and check a string :
var pattern = new RegExp(/.*[0-9].*/);
pattern.test(hash); // Will return TRUE if it contains any digit.
You can add an exception by adding a check to see if the hash is an integer or not. See code below. (I've only adjusted the $('a[rel=ajax]') section, the rest of the code is fine as is.)
//Search for link with REL set to ajax
$('a[rel=ajax]').click(function () {
//grab the full url
var hash = this.href;
//remove the # value
hash = hash.replace(/^.*#/, '');
// test if hash is not an integer
if(parseInt(hash) != hash){
//for back button
$.history.load(hash);
//clear the selected class and add the class class to the selected link
$('a[rel=ajax]').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
//hide the content and show the progress bar
$('#ajax').hide();
$('#loading').show();
//run the ajax
getPage();
//cancel the anchor tag behaviour
return false;
}
});
