I wish to do something iframe-like with my div i've got going here.
Basically, i've gotten as far as making links change the content of the div like so:
Open file
This works pretty well, sadly though, if i make another link inside that to change the content back to the first file, the server gets stuck in an infinite loop and crashes.
I really am just trying to find some way to dynamically change content, and to fetch that content from a file using php. If my way of approaching this is completely ludicrious, i do appreciate suggestions.
I think the best and easiest way is to use jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#addContent').click(function(){
$("#maincontent").load("file.php");
return false;
});
</script>
Open File
<div id="maincontent"></div>
This script will load content of file.php into selected div using ajax call.
This looks like a good place for jQuery's load() function. Just give the div an id, add a click event to the link and have the event load the contents of your php script into the div. Maybe append a class (e.g., 'updated') to the div when you load the new data. That way your click event can check is('.uploaded') on the div and switch it back when the link is clicked again.
Put divs inside #maincontent that hold the different content that you want. Give the divs IDs. When the link is clicked hide/show the appropriate content
This is a similar thread: Tabbing in PHP?
Firstly, I'd suggest not building the event handler like that. For one thing you'll have to be really careful you correctly escape the content. I would do it this way:
<div id="content1">
<?php include 'file1.php'; ?>
</div>
<div id="content2">
<?php include 'file2.php'; ?>
</div>
and then manipulate those with Javascript. You could either set the innerHTML or simply hide/show the relevant divs. So:
<script type="text/javascript">
var content = 1;
function swap_content() {
document.getElementById('maincontent').innerHTML = document.getElementById('content' + content).innerHTML
if (content == 1) {
content = 2;
} else {
content = 1;
}
}
</script>
Open File
Alternatively you could just hide/show them as appropriate rather than copying content.
Lastly, while not required this is much more trivial to do in a Javascript library like jQuery.
To me it sounds like you should use AJAX. On the clickevent (which you also shouldn't bind with inline code), you would instead load the content with an XHR request.
To make life easier for you I would recommend looking at a JavaScript Library, where my personal favorite would be jQuery (www.jquery.com). To achieve what you are trying to do you would just do:
$('#id_to_the_a_tag').click(function() {
$("#maincontent").load("file.php");
return: false;
});

I've looked at a lot of StackOverflow answers but can't find an answer that is working. This seems like it should be so simple.
I have a PHP single page web app. It has a nav bar that loads pages as includes. Clicking the nav bar invokes a jQuery function to load a different include and inject a class into a div. This works in the nav.
In one of the includes, I have an HTML link:
<div class="page-content">
<a class='btn-primary'>See Examples</a>
</div>
This is the jQuery I want it to execute:
$(".btn-primary").click(function() {
alert('you clicked me');
$('.page').attr('class', 'page examples');
// REPLACE THE CURRENT INCLUDE
$('.page-content').load('includes/page-examples.php');
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
});
But the link does not execute the function. Changing it to a div does not work. Clicking will not even execute the alert.
I've tried to put the link in php echo or php print, but it makes no difference. I've checked all my naming and there isn't a typo.
What is the best way to make it work?
----- EDIT -----
The jQuery is being called from a js file called from the index.php head tag, and is in the DOM ready statement. It looks like the DOM is ready before the include with the link loads. If I remove the link's js from the js file and put it in the include with the link, then the link works, but this will create a problem as other internal links are added to the site in other includes.
What is the best way to fix ?
It sounds like your javascript click binding $(".btn-primary").click(...); is executed on DOM-ready.
But at that time the .btn-primary is not yet in the DOM as it only gets inserted into the DOM after you include it (if I understood it right).
Therefore the binding never happens and after your first include gets loaded the click binding code is never executed again and therefore the .btn-primary element has no onClick event.
You need to run your javascript snippet after that .btn-primary element gets inserted in the DOM, eg. like this:
$('.page-content').load('includes/first-include.php', function(){
$(".btn-primary").click(function() {
whatever...
});
});
First step
Check if you are importing jQuery library (it seems obvious, but we
can forget to import the library sometimes or the library URL is wrong
and the browser cannot recognize it as well). And remember you need import jQuery before the function you wrote.
Second step
If you need to inject a class into some element using jQuery, the easiest way to do this is:
Instead...
$('.page').attr('class', 'page examples');
Change to...
$('.page').addClass('examples');
In this example above, you can omit the 'page' and let only 'examples', because the class ".page" is already there.
Another thing, this will only work if the element with ".page" class already exists in your HTML.
Third step:
Add a callback to .load function and see if it worked properly:
$('.page-content').load('includes/page-examples.php', function(){
alert("Nice, my content was loaded!");
// You can put this action here, so it will execute after the content is loaded
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
});
I am not ever sure this is possible but I know you guys will know the answer.
I wonder if it is possible to load the first div on a page into a different page.
Example:
This code is on "list.php"
<div class="message_details">
Some Content 1
</div>
<div class="message_details">
Some Content 2
</div>
I found this article and it works but it brings in all div's but I want to load only the first div.
Load content from external page into another page using Ajax/jQuery
Here is the code I have now that loads all divs
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".loader").load('list.php .message_details');
});
How can I load only the first div? Also is there any way to remove an img tag within the selected div?
Thanks everyone
Use the :first-child selector
$(".loader").load('list.php .message_details:first-child', function() {
$(this).find("img").remove();
});
Reference
simply echo the the div in the second page. Give each div an id, then echo that. (unless i am misunderstanding your goal)
I have a list of links which when clicked opens a link's corresponding DIV. These div's are hidden by default using both jquery .hide() and css display:none.
These divs all contain a php include to a file with a jquery product zoomer in, and because of the way I've made it, only the first one works and the div's below in the source order fail to work (they are included, but the jquery doesnt work) as I'm assuming it conflicts.
I'd love to be able to fix this apparant conflict, but haven't a clue what the issue may be, and as the site is "secret" I can't show the source here without giving away what it is.
So, i was thinking - instead of including these files via php, have them load in when the link is clicked, so only one of these includes is in the page at any one time!
Is this possible using jquery and some php?
--- edit ---
On further investigation - thanks to some of your comments below, it looks like jQuery's .load() looks suitable, but won't work for me. Here is my jQuery:
`
$('.urbaneCarousel li.dowrImg').click(function(){
$('ul.urbaneCarousel').hide();
$('.dowrDiv, .dowrDiv div').show();
$('.dowrDiv .insert').load('path/to/dowr.php');
return false;
});
`
Any advice? I'm 100% certain the path/to/ part is correct.
JQuery .load http://api.jquery.com/load/ | I guess you have to try to play with .load =)
It sounds like you might have some conflicts between those php files. it shouldn't be an issue to include different php's into your hidden divs at all. In any case, couple ways you can do this:
Include all your content via php upfront and simply show the divs on the browser (sounds like what you're doing)
< div id='mydiv1' style='display:none'>
< ?php include('myfile1'); ?>
< /div>
< div id='mydiv2' style='display:none'>
< ?php include('myfile2'); ?>
< /div>
etc.
Then, on some click event, you would do $("#div1").show(), etc.
or
2) simply create your divs empty and bind click events to the .load or .get calls for specific divs
so let's say you have two buttons btn1 and btn2 for those divs.
$('#btn1').bind('click', function() {
$("#div1").get('myfile1');
$("#div1").show();
});
The only problem with the second solution that it will go to the server to fetch data every time button is clicked.
UPDATE
try specifying full path in your .load or .get just to be safe. That might be giving you problems too. Here's a quick example (I am using codeIgniter, thus base_url() reference)
$('#btn_trigger').live('click', function(){
$("#dowrInsert").load("<?php echo base_url();?>auth/index");
});
<input type='button' value='Trigger' id='btn_trigger'/>
<div id="dowrInsert">
My text
</div>
This works fine
Well, I managed to resolve the conflict which was leading to me needing to use the .load() method.
I'm sure there was something within my wordpress theme which was causing this to mess up, so thanks to all those who helped me looking for ways round this, but I managed to accidentally fix my initial conflict in any case, so no longer need the .load() method as a workaround.
I tried to understand - is it any method to ask browser not to refresh entire page when user clicks onto . Hash adding method is seen - I need another method, working with links without hashes.
May be any headers should be sent ? Or something another ?
I want to process GET queries returning only the part of HTML (or special js commands), not all page, and process it in AJAX-style.
You can ajaxify your links through jquery. Something like this:
$('a.ajax').click(function(ev){
ev.preventDefault();
var target=$(this).attr('data-target');
var url=$(this).attr('href');
$(target).load(url+' '+target);
}
This can be used in conduction with the following HTML:
<div id="output">
Hello World
<div>
and inside world.html you would need to have:
<div id="output">
Foo bar baz boo
</div>
In theory this should load content of the dif from "world" file into the div inside the first file, but I haven't tried it. I think it's what you need, because the regular link is still there, google will properly index this bypassing ajax and your users will be happy to see part of the page change.
you could make it 'fake' links doing something like this:
<span style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="loadPage('mypagename');">My Link</span>
The function then would be:
function loadPage(pageName){
// do ajax call here using pageName var
}
You cannot prevent navigation when a user clicks a hyperlink with a URL. Using a hash value to navigate or having your hyperlinks invoke JavaScript is generally the way to add navigation inside of a single page.
However, if you're trying to convert an existing page that's not designed this way, you would have to use JavaScript to modify hyperlinks so they invoke Ajax. For example:
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
var oldUrl = links[i].getAttribute('href');
links[i].setAttribute('href', 'javascript:void(0)');
links[i].onclick = (function(url) {
return function() {
// Then you can do your AJAX code here
}
})(oldUrl);
}
I recommend that you don't do something like this, though, and rather create your page with an AJAX design in mind.
Changing the url without using hashes can be achieved with the Html5 History API: http://html5demos.com/history
Not supported by older browser though, so you must always have a fallback.
I was wondering if this was possible to do. I know you can pull a html file and put it on your page like this, <a href='index.php?content=Contact.html'> . Is there someway to pull a webpage from a URL to your site. So instead of a link open in another tab, it would open that webpage on your current site page. If it's not possible, is there some sort of similar solution I can use.
You can use the iframe tag to display other web pages inside your own web page.
When you say:
I know you can pull a html file and put it on your page like this, <a href='index.php?content=Contact.html'>
Actually, that's not a normal feature - it's only a function of whatever index.php file is on your server, and simply displaying content referenced by a GET parameter can actually quite dangerous depending on whether you know what to protect against and how.
I guess it depends on how "embedded" in to your site you wish for it to be, but it sounds like you could use iframes.
If you want to load an external website into your site, have a look at iframes [docs].
If you want to update parts of the page with content coming from your domain and without refreshing the whole page, you can use Ajax.
Yes, it is possible. You can use AJAX to get the other file and then set the .innerHTML property of your div to the loaded content. In the simplest way, with jQuery you'll have something like this:
var data = jQuery.get("http://my.domain.com/file.html")
$('#mydiv').html(data);
you could use jquery's load() function. i would do it something like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#myDiv').load($(this).attr('href'));
}
}
