Remove hash id from url - url

I have a menu header and when you click one of the menu links it directs to another page half way down (which i want) as it finds the relevant div id name. I was wondering if there is a way to clean the url back up again so it doesn't include the #id in my url? Tried window.location hash and this breaks it from scrolling and leaves the # in the url. Here is what i have:
In my menu: <li><a href="about#scroll-to" ....
And on the about page, it scrolls down to a div called #scroll-to..<div id="scroll-to"></div>
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Using jquery, you can make a POST call to the target page when menu is clicked.
The POST data will contain the id of the div where you want to slide to.
On your target page, use your server language (php, asp) to output that id in a js variable and on document ready slide using jquery to that id.
Then you will have a clean url, and the page scrolling to your div.
---- edit: here comes the code!
Lets use jquery to make a POST to the target page, when a menu item is clicked. We will add a class, lets say, "mymenuitem". We will add this class to our link in the menu. So we will have
<li>Information about us</li>
(the onClick stops link from redirecting manually)
and an empty form (put it after the < body >)
<form id="slidinganchorform" method="post" action="YOURTARGETPAGE.HTML"></form>
then we will create the neccessary jquery so when the < a > tag with class "mymenuitem" is clicked, we will make a POST to the target page.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$(".mymenuitem").click(function() {
// we will split the clicked href's value by # so we will get [0]="about" [1]="scroll-to"
var the_anchor_id_to_scroll_to = $(this).attr("href").split('#')[1];
// lets do the POST (we WILL TRIGGER a normal FORM POST while appending the correct id)
$("#slidinganchorform").append('<input type="hidden" name="anchorid" value="'+ the_anchor_id_to_scroll_to + '">');
$("#slidinganchorform").submit();
});
});
</script>
then in our YOURTARGETPAGE.HTML we will have something like (let's assume we use php)
<head>
<!-- make sure your jquery is loaded ;) -->
<?php
if($_POST['anchorid']!='')
{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
// lets get the position of the anchor (must be like <a name="scroll-to" id="scroll-to">Information</a>)
var thePositiontoScrollTo = jQuery('#<?php echo $_POST['anchorid']; ?>').offset().top;
// Lets scroll
jQuery('html, body').animate({scrollTop:thePositiontoScrollTo}, 'slow');
});
</script>
<?php
}
?>
</head>
be sure the correct id must exist ;)
<a name="scroll-to" id="scroll-to">Information about us or whatever...</a>
(remove your old code because i changed some variable names and it will be difficult to debug if there are parts from the previous version. write everything from the start )

You can do this when the new page loads
history.pushState("", document.title, window.location.pathname);
However it will also remove the query string. Although, you could play with it a little bit to keep it

Change href attribute pointing to popup id jquery Mobile

How can I use jquery to change the id of a div acting as a jquery mobile popup as well as the href of the anchor pointing to the popup?
In my webapp I have an anchor that, when clicked, brings up a jquery mobile popup div all of which I'm inserting dynamically. In any instance of the webapp, I don't know how many times this code will be inserted. Therefore, my understanding is that I need to be able to dynamically create a unique id for the jquery mobile popup div and set the href of my popup icon.
I am not currently succeeding at dynamically changing the id and href. I've created the following test (JSFiddle Test).
Here is my sample html:
<div class="phone1">
<p class="textLeft"> <strong>Number: </strong><span>(555)555-5555</span>
Learn more
</p>
<div id="myPopup" data-role="popup" class="ui-content" data-theme="a" style="max-width:350px;">
<p class="flagText">This number has been flagged as incorrect</p>
</div>
</div>
Change href property
Here is my sample javascript / jquery:
$('#changeButton').click(function () {
alert("Handler for .click() called.");
$('.phone1 > a').prop('href', 'myNewPopup');
$('#myPopup').attr('id', 'myNewPopup');
});
Thank you for your help in advance!
As your anchor is not a direct child of .phone1 but rather a grandchild, the > selector does not work. Also the href needs the # symbol:
$('.phone1 a').prop('href', '#myNewPopup');
Technically you should also use prop to update the id as well:
$('#myPopup').prop('id', 'myNewPopup');
Updated FIDDLE
Are you sure you need to do this. After dynamically inserting the popup the first time, you could just update it each successive time by testing if it exists in the DOM first:
if ($("#myPopup").length > 0){
//update
} else {
//create
}

how to transfer data from <a> tag to popup dialog in jquery mobile?

i dynamically generate this html code to delete an item with an id=3 for example:
"<a href='javascript:delete('" + item.id + "')>";
when i click this, it will execute delete('3');i change it as:
<a href='#delete' data-rel='popup' data-position-to='window' data-transition='pop'>
and add a dialog for this tag:
<div data-role='popup' id='delete'>
<a href='javascript:delete(item.id)' data-role='button'>delete</a>
</div>
how to transfer the item's id to this popup dialog's tag, any suggestion?
I feel like you might be going through the wrong way to achieve this. Some things to change :
delete is a JavaScript keyword. You cant use it as a function.
Don't use the onclick attribute. It results in duplication. Instead, you could use a click event for repetitive actions.
You seem to have gotten the idea to create multiple popups (one for each click of the anchor tag). I think one would do.
Now, in correlation with whatever I've just put down, here's some sample code.
HTML
<a href='#' class='delete' data-num='" + i + "'>Delete me</a>
(Note the data-num attribute in the HTML, the addition of class attribute and the removal of onclick in your code)
It could be replaced by JS which looks like this :
$(this).on("click", ".delete", function (e) {
//prevent default action
e.preventDefault();
//take the id value
var id = $(this).data("num");
//send that value to the popup
$("#delete").find("span").html(id).end().popup("open");
});

Append html to div not working on cordova iOS

I am using cordova 2.2.0 with Xcode 4.5.2. On one of my pages I have a select component and once a particular option is selected I want to display a table within a div. My html looks like this: <div class="hero-unit" id="#facprog"></div>
The javascript/jquery looks like this:
<pre><code>
$(function() {
$('#selFaculty').change(function() {
var facultyName = $('#selFaculty').val();
var progDetails = app.fillFacultyProgramme(facultyName);
alert(progDetails);
$('#facprog').append(progDetails);
});
});
</code></pre>
Note that #selFaculty is the id of the select object. However, when the select option changes, everything in javascript executes except for the append. Nothing shows up in the div. Is there a different way to add html element to a div in jquery under cordova 2.2.0 in iOS?
Thanks in advance,
José
With jquery you can refresh a div.
This is a good example:
<script>
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').fadeOut('slow').load('reload.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 20000);
</script>
and now you need to put the div in the body section of your page
<div id="loaddiv">
</div>
from http://designgala.com/how-to-refresh-div-using-jquery/
and there is another example here:
refresh div with jquery
The first example is useful when you need to load a script and refresh and the second one is useful when you need to make a change, e.g. append html and then refresh as in your case.

mobile.changepage requiring page refresh

I'm using $.mobile.ChangePage() to navigate from one HTML page to another. But the contents of the page is not changing. while doing so the page URL changes but the new page is not loaded. it requires to be refreshed to load.
you should use JavaScript function to change the page..using
window.location = 'your page ';
hope it will resolve your problem !
In the code that you provided in the comments above, you are likely getting an error stating that next_page is not defined. Given that you are dealing with jQuery Mobile, try assigning the click handler slightly differently:
Change the definition of the link to something like this:
<a id="btnNextPage" href="#" >Details</a>
You don't have to give it an id - you could just use selectors to identify the link in the following javascript:
// the event handler
function next_page() {
$.mobile.changePage("http://www.google.com", {transition:"slide"});
}
// assign the click event when the DOM is ready
$(function() {
$("#btnNextPage").click ( next_page );
});

Trying to understand - HTML replacements and scripts having access to replaced elements on the page

I have a page with a ticket list. In it, there is a <td> that is either a grab or release link. That link inside the '' is wrapped in a '' for an ajax html replacement. Like:
<td>
<div id="ticket_grab_release_<%= ticket.id %>">
*---- either a grab or release link here ----*
<div>
</td>
So, the user clicks on 'grab': They are assigned the ticket, the worklist is updated with their info on the page via HTML replacements, and the grab link is replaced with a 'release' link.
Next to this is a 'complete' link. When the user clicks on that, a small complete form opens in a jQuery UI-Dialog window. I ran into a problem though because along with the grab/replace link changing I also had to toggle this 'complete' link with a grey non-link 'complete' or an actual 'complete' link (if ticket released - disable complete link or visa versa).
The problem is that if this 'complete' link was greyed out and I replaced that with a 'complete' link, the UI Dialog window would not open. Like (no idea what I'm saying) the link wasn't in the DOM.
I got frustrated for a bit and then tried wrapping the script in a <div> and doing an html page replacement on the whole script. I HTML replaced the greyed out 'complete' with a 'complete' link and then HTML replaced the script right after. Interestingly that worked, but I'm really curious as to why it worked. When you ajax insert a script through an HTML replacement, does that inserted script have access to the modified DOM where the original script only has access to the what was the original DOM from the page load?
<div id="html_replace_sript">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.complete_ticket_link' ).click(function(){
var url = $(this).attr("href");
$("#form_load").load(url,
function() {
$(this).dialog({
modal:true,
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
width:'auto',
height:'auto',
title: ' Complete Ticket ',
position: [125, 50]
});
});
return false;
});
</script>
</div>
Thanks - much apprecaited!
Check out live()'s much less recource-demanding counterpart: delegate()
Attach a handler to one or more events for all elements that match the selector, now or in the future, based on a specific set of root elements.
That means that instead of having to look through the entire window for an element, it starts at the specified root, significantly reducing overhead. This is the best solution for your issue.
The answer is YES.
But if you want to bind events to elements that match the selector now and in the future, you can use .live()
So you'd do:
$('.complete_ticket_link' ).live('click' function(){
...
});
Using this, your code can be on your main page and it will work.
Hope this helps. Cheers
