I thought this was pretty straight forward but I don't get the same results as the tutorials I read. I have a button on an html page that calls a function in script tags. I also have a reference to the prototype.js file which I haven't even begun to implement yet. If I leave that reference in the page, my function call does not work from the button's onclick event. Below is what is called from the button onclick event.
callIt = function(){
alert('It worked!');
}
</script>
A couple of things: first, make sure your HTML is valid. Run it through the validator at http://validator.wc.org.
Next, once you're sure that your page is valid, add the prototype.js library as the first script reference on the page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>
Notice that I didn't close it like this <script ... /> Script blocks need to have an explicit closing tag (at least in XHTML 1.0 Transitional)
Now, to answer your question, I'm really not sure what you're asking, but if you wanted to attach the callIt method to the onclick handler of your button using Prototype, then do this:
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
Event.observe('button_id', 'click', callIt);
});
Put this in script tags in the element of the page, below the prototype script reference. This will execute when the DOM is loaded & the button exists on the page.
Hope this helps.
That worked. I'm just puzzled why none of the examples I have been working from have done this.
Thanks!

I have a select.php page where the user selects a value from the dropdown. On selection the ajax code runs and information from ajax.php gets populated on the "display" div of the select.php page. Some of the information coming from ajax.php is in the form of textarea. But it gets displayed just as textarea, and not as tinymce editor. Even though I have called it in the head section of my page.
<script src="//cdn.tinymce.com/4/tinymce.min.js"></script>
<script>
tinymce.init({
selector: 'textarea'
});
</script>
My problem is very similar to this: How do I initialize TinyMCE on a ajax loaded textarea in 4.x?
But I am not understanding the solution. Please help.
you can get data after that set data on tiny
success: function (data) {tinyMCE.get(data).getContent().replace('\'', "\’");},
Your call to tinymce.init() only acts on items in the DOM at the time the init() function is run. If you are adding additional <textarea> fields to the page later you need to run tinymce.init() after you add those elements to the DOM.
You can include a call to tinymce.init() in the same block of code that injects the <textarea> into the page directly after you inject the <textarea>.
I am using Joomla 1.5.22 with Mootools 1.1. I have a module with a form contained in a hidden div that I want to open in Joomla's built in modal box. The problem I have is that when I click the link the form opens in the modal box, but it also opens the div in the module on the page.
HTML:
<div id="moduleBox">
<div id="clickMeButton"><a id="formClick" class="modal" href="#hiddenForm">Click me</a></div>
<div id="hiddenForm">
form code goes here
</div>
</div>
Javascript:
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
$('formClick').addEvent('click', function(){
$('hiddenForm').setStyle('display','block');
});
});
So how do I get the form to only show up in the modal box?
You can see what I am talking about here - http://www.internextion.com/
It's the Call Back Module. I already added the handler: 'adopt' as suggested below, now the result is a little different. The target div still shows up below the link, but now the modal window contains the link rather than the target.
I think this uses Harald's SqueezeBox - in which case, you are looking at the following scenarios:
find the target div and CLONE it to insert into the modal box.
find the target div and ADOPT it into the modal box.
you are seeing the first (default) case. to achieve the second effect, add:
handler: 'adopt'
to the instantiation options. more here: http://digitarald.de/project/squeezebox/1-1/showcase/get-elements/
Option 1:
If you look at the html code (in firebug) for the overlay div you will see that it makes a "copy" of html and places inside the overlay container with id="sbox-content". In theory if you add a CSS like below +/-, it will hide the link and display everything else. This might be the simplest and easiest solution.
div#sbox-content > a#formClick{
display: none;
}
Option 2:
If option 1 does not work for some reason, you can try playing with CSS and hide the link when the Modal box opens and then making it visible when it closes.
Modify the JS to add a class instead of modifying the style.
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
$('formClick').addEvent('click', function(){
$('formClick').addClass('hidden');
$('hiddenForm').setStyle('display','block');
});
});
Load additional CSS that will make the link invisible
div#clickMeButton.hidden {
display: none;
}
Then you will have to overload closing event and make the link visible...
Ok, so I finally got it to work with a combination of the other answers given. First, I removed the javascript click event to make the form appear, that solved the issue of the form showing up below the link. Next, I added new CSS for the hiddenForm ID within the modal box and set that to display:block. It appears that the default handler behavior (in Joomla at least) is to adopt the content since I have removed the handler: 'adopt' and it is still adopting the content.
I knew it was something simple, thanks for the help!
BTW - the link is still live, you can see the correct behavior on the demo site. Now all I need to do is add some fancy AJAX form submission and it will be ready for prime time.
I haven't explained this well.
But what i mean is, if I have an ajax script that loads the content of a page in a DIV element, through the function 'loadpage('whatever.php');, instead of going around manually doing this to all links, is there a way of having a script that automatically makes all regular links load through that ajax function?
Like on Facebook, your profile loads through ajax, yet if you look at their code, they just have a regular link to the profile.
Cheers!
Sure, you can do it with jQuery.
This script goes through the document, finds every anchor element and binds an event handler to the click event of each. When the anchor element is clicked, the event handler finds the href attribute and loads that page into #targetDiv (you can call this div whatever you want, of course).
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function() {
$("#targetDiv").load(($(this).attr("href") + " body");
return false;
});
});
</script>
...
<!-- In your document body, this is the div you'd load the pages into. -->
<div id="targetDiv"></div>
You can use JQuery for this (if I understand your question right).
First you can make the function loadpage() as follows:
function loadpage(divId, url) {
$('#' + divId).load(url);
return false;
}
.load() isn't supported by all browsers though. If you want to do this without .load() then you can check out .get(). For more info on .load(), take a look at http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/load
I'm assuming it would go something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(){
$("body").load($(this).attr("href") + " body");
return false;
});
});
This would make all <a> tags on the page call a function that downloads a HTML document from the href attribute of the tag, strip out it's body tag, and replace the contents of the current page's body tag with the contents of the new body tag. This way, it's easier to work this with no JavaScript, as well as integrate it into an existing site.
To use it, you place this into a <script> tag in the head of your main page, or in an external JS file.
Please note, however, that this code only updates the contents of the <body> tag, the head (including the title tag) remains untouched. You may need to add extra code to update things like this.
Simple and Nice. Check this out:
Bjax
Usage:
<script src="bjax.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="bjax.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Finally, include this in the HEAD of your html:
$('a').bjax();

I have a website with two pages. A and B. When you click on a link in page A, it will uses the Prototype Ajax.Updater() to load the link page (page B) into a div on the page (Page A).
When page B loads into page A, the sIFR replacements are not working and the tag inner text is not even showing.
I have tried doing a sIFR.redraw() when the page has loaded into the div, with no success.
When i view page B in the browser by itself, it works perfectly.
Is it possible to insert HTML into a DIV tag on a page using AJAX and have the sIFR display properly?
I would imagine that you probably need to re-initialise sIFR within the onComplete callback of Ajax.Updater
This is the way I ended up doing this
new Ajax.Updater('content', url, {
onComplete:function(){
sIFR.replace(font, {
selector: '#content h2'
});
}
});
You could put this snippet in your html code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad(sender, args) {
sIFR.replace(font, { selector: '#content h2' });
}
</script>
It will run the sIFR replacements each time the page reloads. This is on normal PostBack and Ajax postbacks. Make sure you have included a ScriptManager instance on your page.
mathijsuitmegen:
Your solution worked perfectly on an application I'm using where the ScriptManager was already in use.
Infact, The function was simply slotted into my sifr-config.js file and worked perfectly meaning my HTML wasn't cluttered.
I'm trying to change my index.html to show a modal window if the referer to my site == (eg, if they come from Google, show a "Welcome Googler" dialog box with an image inside of it).
I'm using FancyBox, but I'm not married to it.
Any suggestions on how to code it? I'm a C++ programmer -- Javascript isn't my forte, so straight examples would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You're going to need a couple things: document.referrer, and jQuery UI. jQuery UI makes dialog boxes trivially easy.
You can find an in depth example from the documentation page but for the most part, this is what you are going to need:
<script type="javascript/text">
if (document.referrer.indexOf('google.com') > -1){
$("#my-dialog").dialog("open");
}
// this is the jquery code to set up the dialog box
$(function() {
// options would go inside the dialog() function
$("#dialog").dialog();
});
</script>
Needed HTML:
<div id="my-dialog">
This is where things get displayed
</div>
