I am attempting to rewrite a multi-page website into a SPA using jQuery UI Tabs. In the shell page, one tab references an id within the page, while the rest of the tabs load other pages via AJAX. It looks something like this:
<div id="tabs">
<ul id="nav">
<li>HOME</li>
<li>LEARN</li>
<li>LISTEN</li>
<li>SUPPORT</li>
<!--etc.-->
</ul>
<div id="home">
<!--blah blah blah-->
</div>
</div>
Within learn.html, I have another set of UI tabs that are set up the same way:
<div id="tabs2">
<ul id="nav2">
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Sponsors & Donors</li>
<li>Staff & Board</li>
<!--etc.-->
</ul>
<div id="about">
<!--blah blah blah-->
</div>
</div>
The problem arises in clicking a tab within learn.html: the event of clicking one of the AJAX tabs within this AJAX tab bubbles up to the window, and sponsors.html or whatever loads in place of the shell page.
I have tried event.stopPropagation() but it did not work; using event.preventDefault on the tabs prevented the tab functionality in the first place. What else is there to do?
You could try adding the result of the ajax call to a specific div. In the success function of the ajax call.
Are you calling preventDefault on the click of the tab, or the anchor? You might need to setup a separate handler for the anchor click.
$("ul#nav2 li a").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
My problem is gone now...
The page I had loading via AJAX had its own doctype and head tag and the whole shebang. After I removed that, I no longer had any problems.

I'm confused. I've thought it's possible to pass SpringBoot/Thymeleaf objects from the html page to the Modal form. I've come across many examples using ajax to pull data from the REST endpoint instead.
Is using ajax to pull in objects into Modals, the only method?
Thymeleaf is a server side templating language... the concept of a modal form usually means showing/hiding a window opens and closes on the client side (meaning JavaScript that runs when a user clicks a link or a button ). If you don't want to use an API to pull that data (which I think makes the most sense), then you have to create a hidden modal for every row on your page. For example:
<div th:each="item, i: ${items}">
<a href="#"
onClick="openModal(this.getAttribute('data-modal'))"
th:data-modal="|#modal${i.index}|">
Edit modal #<span th:text="${i.index}" />
</a>
<div th:id="|modal${i.index}|" style="display: none;">
<p>I am a modal form for element <span th:text="${i.index}" />!</p>
<input type="text" th:value="${item.value}" />
</div>
</div>
You can see how this works... creating a hidden div/modal form for every row (so you don't have to call an API to get the form values), but it comes with a lot of extra HTML.
I am developing a web app using asp.net mvc 3. I have a main layout page which contains jquery ui tabs.
I am using knockout.js binding tool. My issue is from my tabs how can I go the relevant controller to return the view. Example is I click on tasks project so in the container for the view it should show the tasks page as rendered by the tasks controller
Any help would be good
Thanks
The simplest solution is to us RenderPartial. Then you can either bind each tab via knockout, or bind the whole lot of them.
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Nunc tincidunt</li>
<li>Proin dolor</li>
<li>Aenean lacinia</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<% Html.RenderPartial("TabOne", Model);%>
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
<% Html.RenderPartial("TabTwo", Model);%>
</div>
<div id="tabs-3">
<% Html.RenderPartial("TabThree", Model);%>
</div>
This assumes that the html content doesn't vary based off of the data, or at least not so much that knockout can't take care of it. If your html varies a lot you can use a routing system like Crossroads.js (http://millermedeiros.github.com/crossroads.js/) and fetch the data for the div using ajax.
I'm using the Jquery UI tabs functionality to load content via ajax. I'd like to load a particular div in the ajax call, not the entire page. Is this possible without using jQuery's load()?
As you can see from the code, it's a stock standard basic jQuery tabs implementation, but I want a particular div rather than the full page.
Here's my html:
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Tab One</li>
<li>Tab Two</li>
<li>Ajax tab</li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-1>Tab one content</div>
<div id="tab-2>Tab two content</div>
</div>
And the inline script:
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});
</script>
Anyone know if this is possible?
Nathan.
Yes, it is possible. Use jQuery ajax "load" function. Example:
$('#result').load('ajax/test.html #container');
For your 3rd tab you should manually load content via ajax call, also you can define selector which exactly part of loaded page you need. So, create 3rd tab as via general way, load page content for 3rd tab and create tabs. Or you can dynamically load 3rd tab's content when the user clicks on tab.
More information here: http://api.jquery.com/load/, please see paragraph "Loading Page Fragments".
I have this Prototype code at the top of my page
<script type="text/javascript">
if( window.location == 'http://example.com/about-us.html' ) {
$('about-us').addClassName('active');
}
</script>
and this html afer this javascript code
<ul>
<li id="about-us">
<a href="#">
<span>About Us</span>
</a>
</li>
<li id="something-else">
<a href="#">
<span>Something Else</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
But even the address is correct http://example.com/about-us.html the class active is not append at all. I have tried alert and alert is working, so the condition is OK, however addclassname seems to not working.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
That is how you do it. Be sure the code runs after the element is already on the page. In your case, that means the script block you've quoted has to be after the list you've quoted, like this - live example, because you're not doing anything to delay the code. If you want the script block to be above the list, you can do this:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
// Your code here
});
Live example ...but you're usually better off just putting your scripts at the bottom of the body element, just before the closing </body> tag, as the YUI folks and others recommend.
If the element does exist at the time your code is running, my guess is that you're looking at the result HTML with "view source" or similar. Runtime changes to the DOM (including adding classes to elements) are not reflected in "view source", which is just a copy of the page as it was delivered from the server. You can use the "DOM" view in the developer tools built into most browsers (or Firebug for Firefox) to see the current state of the DOM tree.
I am a little new to this so apologies if I am a little vaugue but I will do my best.
I am attempting to create an iphone friendly version of a site using JQtouch. I understand that normally this would be done all in one HTML file with pages seperated by DIV's. However, I am wanting to load the content from exisitng pages of a website.
The next part to the problem is that my iphone.html page does not sit in the same directory as my current website, so the normal behaviour of JQtouch doesnt seem to work.
So far I have set up a page as follows:
<div id="home">
<div class="toolbar">
<h1>Title</h1></div>
<ul class="rounded">
<li class="arrow"> HOME</li>
<li class="arrow"> ABOUT US</li>
<li class="arrow"> GNWR</li>
<li class="arrow"> GNER</li>
<li class="arrow"> NEWS</li>
<li class="arrow"> FAQS</li>
<li class="arrow"> CONTACT</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="about"></div>
<div id="journal"></div>
<div id="faqs"></div>
<div id="contact"></div>
</body>
</html>
I then have :
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').load('http://www.mysite.co.uk' + ' #content');
$('#about').load('http://www.mysite.co.uk/about' + ' #content');
}
</script>
This loads the content I am after and the page animations work fine. The only problem is that a couple of links exist in the content I am loading and when clicked they obviously dont work.
Is there a way I can check the href of a link when clicked and if it points to www.mysite.co.uk/about change it to point to #about and force it to navigate there?
Hope this makes sense if you need more info let me know.
Regards
Chris.
You are asking quite a few questions inside a single question... You should really break them up into several questions. It's easier for people to answer. Anyways, I'll give it a shot.
First of all, you don't have to have all contents in one html; you can load contents via AJAX. See the AJAX > "GET Example" in this demo, as well as the page content loaded via AJAX.
As far as I know, the pages you want to load do not have to be in the same directory structure. The pages you want to load via AJAX need to contain a valid jQTouch page, i.e. the whole page is enclosed in a <div>.

If I understand you correctly, you essentially want to replace all the links to www.mysite.co.uk/about with #about. This has to be done with jQuery:
$('a[href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/about"]').attr('href', '#about');
You may want to do that when each page loads:
$(document).ready(function(e){
$('body>div').bind('pageAnimationEnd', function(event, info){
$('a[href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/about"]').attr('href', '#about');
})
});
