ajax problem (jquery) - ajax

I'm just reposting to make this clearer & because I've uploaded a sample of the problem...
Simply...
This fancy box plugin works great on this page http://www.websitesbyshane.co.uk/chris/portfolio.php
but NOT if the portfolio #content is pulled into the index.php via ajax. You can see for your self by going to the homepage here www.websitesbyshane.co.uk/chris and clicking 'portfolio'
Thanks for your time guys.

It looks like your ajax call is loading the entire portfolio.php page. Allowing the user to click the link and go to the portfolio page if they don't have Javascript enabled is a great thing, but loading that entire page via an ajax call is sure to cause some issues.
The portfolio.php page that you are loading via ajax includes the $(document).ready to enable the lightbox, but this code will never execute since the main page has already loaded. Your code for your fancy box plugin should be in the main web page. Then you can run that code to bind the fancy box after you have loaded the portfolio page/content into your div.
Edit: added more detail:
You currently have
$('#content').load(toLoad)
in your js.js file. according to the jQuery api docs (http://api.jquery.com/load/) you can pass a callback into it to run when it has finished:
$('#content').load(toLoad, function() {
alert('Load was performed.');
});
You could simply load your fancy box code into this callback function in the js.js file like this:
$('#content').load(toLoad, function() {
$("a#example6").fancybox({
'titlePosition' : 'over'
});
$("a[rel=example_group]").fancybox({
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'titlePosition' : 'over',
'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
return '<span id="fancybox-title-over">Image ' + (currentIndex + 1) + ' / ' + currentArray.length + (title.length ? ' ' + title : '') + '</span>';
}
});
});
The problem with this is that it will get called even if you're not calling the portfolio page. It won't complain, but it is easily solved by wrapping it in an "if" statement.

do you use firebug ? that could help out debugging your php/ajax code live. Just don't forget
to enable javascript debugging and watch in the ajax responses tab when issuing XMLHttpRequests to debug.

Using NavigationHandler.handleNavigation doesn't show the top of the page

I am using NavigationHandler.handleNavigation as suggested here (ExternalContext.dispatch() not working) since I am using an ajax request.
It works but I see the next page in the middle of the page (more or less) instead of seeing it in the top of the page.
I tried using an anchor as suggested here (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001475.htm) but it also doesn't work.
Any idea of what is happening?
Here is my code:
context.getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(context, null, "/user-registration.xhtml#top");
I have added the following in the beginning of the body of the next page:
<a name="top"></a>
The correct approach to scroll the window to top is window.scrollTo() with x and y of 0:
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
This keeps your URL free of hash fragment clutter.
In order to invoke it on success of every JSF ajax event, include the following script in the document.
jsf.ajax.addOnEvent(function(data) {
if (data.status == "success") {
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}
});
See also:
Execute JavaScript after every JSF ajax postback
Finally I solved it with the following script:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
location.hash = "#top";
});
</script>

Loading iframe.src runs all javascript in the JSP

My app runs inside an iframe in a wrapper page. When the wrapper page loads, the source for the iframe is set like this
<script type="text/javascript">
var frameSrc = 'myApp.jsp';
$(document).ready(function() {
loadFrame(frameSrc);
$("#iFrm").height($(window).height() - 175);
$(window).bind('resize', function(){
$("#iFrm").height($(window).height() - 175);
return false;
});
$("#adminLink").click(function(){
frameSrc = 'myAdmin.jsp';
loadFrame(frameSrc);
});
return false;
});
function loadFrame(src){
$("#iFrm").attr('src', src);
}
</script>
And this loads and runs just fine, but then I've got the admin link on the page that is intended to load a different page into the iframe and it has an event handler inside the document.ready function.
The issue that I'm encountering is that the myAdmin.jsp is loading and then the original document.ready script, in the wrapper page, is running again - completely with the original frameSrc value. It seems as though by changing the iframe source, it's triggering a reload of the entire wrapper page and the original iframe source. Has anyone seen this? Am I missing something obvious?
I got an answer to this question while working through various possible solutions. The problem turned out to have to do with adminLink. The href value was empty, which appears to have directed the browser to reload the current page (the wrapper). When I put javascript: return false; in the href my issue resolved.
<a id="adminLink" href="">Administration</a>
vs
<a id="adminLink" href="javascript:return false;">Administration</a>

Load external site in div on click on related tabs

i am trying to load external sites in a div on clicking to the respective tabs. i am new to ajax jquery cud any one can suggest for correct solution.
i have tried this
You can only do this using an iframe due to cross domain restrictions. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy
To get around this you can change the #test element to be an iframe
and rather than ajax loading try something like:
$("#test").prop("src", link);
I've updated your fiddle to show a working example.
http://jsfiddle.net/Ztxsx/5/
Essentially all you need Javascript wise is:
$('#nav ul li a').on("click", function(e) {
var url = $(this).text();
var li_link ='http://www.' + url + '.com';
e.preventDefault();
$("#test").prop("src", li_link);
});

TinyMCE not working in http request xhr ajax generated page

So i I have a page that contains links that call an httpRequest. The request calls a php file that grabs data from mysql and pre populates a form which is then returned to the browser/webpage. My problem is that when the page is returned to the browser via the httpRequest/ajax the text area does not display the tinymce editor, it just displays a normal text area. It looks like my request and ajax is working fine the text area just doesn't have the tinycme editor on it.
When i don't use ajax it works fine but when i put it in a separate file and call it via ajax it doesn't bring in the tinymce editor.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem so that my ajax generated page displays the text area with the tinymce editor. Thank you.
Lets presume that your thinyMCE instance is initialized with code below
// initialize tinyMCE in page
tinyMCE.init({
mode: "textareas",
theme: "advanced"
});
and you have some kind of button somewhere in the page. For purpose of this tip, i will not give it any ID but you may. Now, using jQuery you can easily attach event handler to that button which will call through AJAX your server and take content which you want to put tinyMCE editor. Code which will do such job would look somehow like below.
$(function() {
$("button").bind("click", function() {
var ed = tinyMCE.get('content');
ed.setProgressState(1); // Show progress
$.getJSON('/page/12.json', { /* your data */
}, function(data) {
ed.setProgressState(0); // Hide progress
ed.setContent(data["body"]);
}
});
});
});
You can see that on button.click ajax will call url /page/12.json which will return JSON as response. bare minimum of that response could be:
{
title: "Page title",
body: "<html><head><title>Page title</title>......</html>"
}
I attached anonymous function as callback which will handle response from server. and hide progress indicator which is shown before ajax call.
About JSON
JSON is shorten of JavaScript Object Notation. It is JavaScript code!!! So don't be confused about it. Using JSON you can make javascript object which can have attributes you can use later in your code to access particular peace of data which that object "holds". You can look at it as some kind of data structure if it is easier to you.
Anyway, to show you how this JSON can be created by hand look at examples below
var data = new Object();
data.title = "Page title";
data.body = "<html....";
or
var data = {
title: "page title",
body: "<html...."
};
it is very same thing.
If you want to learn more about JSON point your browser to http://json.org.
===== alternative =====
Alternative to json solution could be just plane ajax call to server and response can be plain HTML (from your question I can assume that you have something like this already). So instad of calling $.getJSON you can use $.get(url, callback); to do same thing. The code at the top of my answer will not dramatically change. Instead of geting JSON in response you will get string which is HTML.
----------- BOTTOM LINE -------
I prefer JSON since it can be easily extended later with other attributes, so there is no painful code changes later ;)
Problem here will be that when you return the full page and render it using the ajax response, your tinymce instance has not been shut down before.
In order to do this you can call this small piece of code before you render the ajax response:
tinymce.execCommand('mceRemoveControl',true,'editor_id');
In this case the editor should initialize correctly. You are not allowed to initialize a tinymce editor with the same id before shutting the first one down.
Strangely i ran into this problem yesterday. Following code should work, but YMMV. Trick is to use the correct steps in ajax events. I used the Regular TinyMCE and made use of the jQuery library already included.
Following goes into your tinyMCE initialization tinyMCE.init() . All of the below block should be outside the document.ready.
myTinyInit = {
//.......All essential keys/values ...........
setup : function(ed) {
ed.onChange.add(function( ed ) {
tinyMCE.triggerSave();
}) }
//.....................
};
// Init the tinyMCE
tinyMCE.init(myTinyInit);
This ensures the content is being saved regularly onto the textarea that holds the value. Next step is setting up the request events.
Normally tinyMCE mceAddControl before the ajax post and mceRemoveControl after the ajax success should do the trick. But I found that often does not work.
I used the form as the jQuery selector in my case.
jQuery( '.myForm' )
.find( 'textarea#myTextArea' )
.ajaxStart(function() {
// If you need to copy over the values, you can do it here.
// If you are using jQuery form plugin you can bind to form-pre-serialize event instead.
// jQuery( this ).val( tinyMCE.get( jQuery( this ).attr( 'id' )).getContent() );
}).ajaxSend( function() {
// ! - step 2
// My case was multiple editors.
myEds = tinyMCE.editors;
for( edd in myEds ) {
myEds[ eds ].remove();
}
// tinyMCE.get( 'myTextarea' ).remove();
// strangely mceRemoveControl didnt work for me.
// tinyMCE.execCommand( 'mceRemoveControl', false, jQuery( this ).attr('id'));
}).ajaxSuccess(function() {
// Now we got the form again, Let's put up tinyMCE again.
txtID = jQuery( this ).attr( 'id' );
// ! - step 3
tinyMCE.execCommand( 'mceAddControl', false, txtID );
// Restore the contents into TinyMCE.
tinyMCE.get( txtID ).setContent( jQuery( this ).val());
});
Problems i came across :
Using mceRemoveControl always gave me r is undefined error persistently.
If you get a blank tinyMCE editor, check the DOM whether the ID of the textarea is replaced with something like mce_02, this means that TinyMCE is being initialized again or something is wrong with the order. If so, the tinyMCE is duplicated with each save.
if you are new to JS, I recommend using jQuery with the form plugin, it might be easier for you. But do use the regular non-jquery tinyMCE, as it is well documented.
I fixed this problem by recalling the function after the ajax call. In this part of my ajax:
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("Content").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
tinymce();
Now it works fine.

Ajaxed div hide and show hides only after div load

I have this issue. I'm working on a jquery ajaxed site. I have the main content div in the middle and on top the navigation. I need to AJAX the content, because I have flash backgound so that the flash video won't start from beginning after every page load. The only way I was able to do this was with this sort of code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajaxSetup ({
cache: false
});
//For loading
var ajax_load = "<img src='img/load.gif' alt='loading...' /><p>";
// Var
var loadPage1 = "page1.html";
// Load page
$("#page1").click(function(){
$("#content").hide(2000);
$("#content").html(ajax_load).load(loadPage1);
$("#content").show(2000);
});
All other ways to get the div didn't work because there was issues on getting plugins etc. working in the ajaxed div (content).
So... everythig is working fine - but, the div loads it's content from page1.html and shows it and only after this does it hide it and show it. So it loads the page and then does the effects I want to.
Do I need to queue this some how or what's the proper jquery way? I tried delay, stop etc.. but can't seem to solve this out. It's propably very simple.
Thanks.
Show the element in the load callback handler.
i.e:
$("#page1").click(function(){
$("#content").hide();
$("#content").html(ajax_load).load(loadPage1, function(){
$("#content").show(2000)
});
});
.load() takes 2 arguments, the URI and a callback to fire after load.
API is found here: http://api.jquery.com/load/
function() {
$("#content").hide(2000);
$("#content").html(ajax_load).load(loadPage1, function() {
$("#content").show(2000);
});
}
