Changing Document.location.hash In IE7 Overrides Event.stop(e) And Submits Form

Jul 7, 2009

I am writing a modification to Invision Power Board that makes replying to post via Ajax.

The "Submit" button is being overrun by Prototype's observe function. When the custom function is executed, I run Event.stop(e) to prevent the actual form from being submitted and reload the page.

I have developed and tested on Safari but users began to report bugs in IE, after investigation I discovered that the line

Code:

Is making IE execute all the code after it, and then execute its own onclick() function as if Event.stop(e) was not there. Commenting this line fixes the problem, the page is not reloaded, but this line is vital to the code.

So why do I need to set the anchor? To support the back button function after a user makes an ajax reply, pressing Back should hide the new content, and pressing Forward should make it visible. (e.g. every time the anchor is changed) This all works nicely. But not in IE.

This only happens the first time the page is visited ever, or clearing cache and visiting it again. Reloading the page fixes the problem but this is not normal behavior and users shouldn't have to reload to use the Ajax fast reply...

Location.hash Not Changing History In Ie6?

Oct 10, 2008

I have a problem with IE and location.hash. If I change the hash, the history doesn't "update" and it only keeps one record of the URL. This whole website is AJAX-driven and I need the user to be able to use the forward and back buttons in the browser. Everything works fine and dandy, tested on all the major browsers on PC and Mac, except for IE (both 6 and 7).

In case I wasn't clear, here's a way to reproduce in IE6/7:

Go to google.com
Go to yahoo.com#one
Go to yahoo.com#two
Click back. You'll be back to google.com instead of yahoo.com#one

Setting The Hash Location Of A Web Page With The Onkeyup() Event

Aug 10, 2010

What I want is a textbox that the user can enter information into. When they press a key the onkeyup event will simulate a function. All that I can do. The function needs to automatically scroll down the page to the anchor that corresponds to the number the user entered. The web page is a factor finding program. You can enter 2 numbers and it finds all the factors of all the numbers between the 2 you entered. Here is the link: [URL] As you can see, when you try to find factors of numbers a new window opens and there is a search box in the top left. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. If you want to check out the code look at the web page but here is the bit that creates the new window

Location.hash

Jul 23, 2005

Here is my relevant code for an arbitrary page (let's call it PAGE_B):
<body onload="window.location.hash='anchor'">

With this code, if the user goes from PAGE_A to PAGE_B, he will jump to
PAGE_B#anchor after PAGE_B has fully loaded. BUT... if he clicks the
back button, instead of returning to PAGE_A (which is what I want), he
will return to PAGE_B (without the anchor).

Is there any way to change this behavior... perhaps to replace the
anchor of page without touching the history stack?

CSS And Form Validation - Changing The Font Color Of Labels ONLY When Stop The Form From Submitting Due To Blank Fields

Nov 2, 2011

I'm having trouble changing the font color of my labels ONLY when I stop the form from submitting due to blank fields. I'm not sure whether if just changing my CSS will achieve what I want, or am I going to have to add somethig to my if else statement, or both? I would think I would need to change CSS to :

label.onfocus {
color:red;
}

but a little confused on what else.

Detection Change Of Location.hash

Aug 18, 2005

A page I have shows a different background colour depending on the
hash portion of the url as it is first loaded. For example a link to
mysite/mypage#0000FF would result in a page with a blue background. But
another link, this one to mysite/mypage#FF0000, would not give me a red
background if directed to the window where mypage#0000FF was loaded
just one moment ago. This is normally to be expected, because the browser
thinks same page, no load event, basta.

If I use the search portion, for obvious reasons, that is treated a new page
load, even when it is from the cache, but I need the hash here. So how do I
detect in mypage the moment when the hash string is changed by a user click
event on another page in another window, perhaps even from another domain?

Location.hash Does Not Work Without SetTimeout

Jul 23, 2007

Basically, my problem is exactly as described in the subject. The
problem is somewhat intermittent and unpredictable, but the majority
of the time if I just have a statement such as

window.onload=location.hash('somewhere');

the URL is indeed appended, i.e. www.example.com/index.php#somewhere,
but window itself doesn't actually move to the bookmark. However, if
I do something like

window.onload=setTimeout("location.hash('somewhere')",0)

it works fine. On very large pages, the timeout actually has to be a
second or two. Any idea why this is happening? I don't know much
about JS, but my thought is that it's trying to move to that bookmark
before it has actually been loaded in the page; the timeout forces it
to wait for the rest of the page to load before going to the bookmark.

JQuery :: Hash Location But Different Files?

Sep 25, 2011

I am trying to make sense of the location hash etc. However, I have a few issues that I need to overcome in the process.I have 3 tabs, which need to create a hash and then allow return to that tab on page reload.This is what I need doing: firstly, I need to check the filename accessed and if it is the correct filename (say 'testing.php' or 'testing') then I need to check the GET parameters to see which ones have been called and exist, THEN I need to check the hash to see which tab to load.

Notice Change Of Window.location.hash Without Polling

Nov 29, 2005

Is it possible to notice a change of window.location.hash without
polling?

I'm working on a Ajax-platform (yes, inventing the wheel again) and
have finished almost everything except the support for
back/forward-buttons. The track I'm working on is "hidden frames" to
keep state in window.location.hash. I've seen some solutions along this
way that includes polling window.location for a change... which doesn't
comply with my otherwise strict event-driven design...

Change Location.hash (1) Without History Entry And (2) Without Scrolling The Page

Mar 13, 2009

I'm attempting to implement some deep-linking in my simple AJAX application by setting location.hash, and I've run into two problems:

1) Sometimes setting location.hash seems to send the window on both IE and FF to scroll to the top of the page. I do not want any scrolling to occur. The location.hash change happens in a function which is triggered in an onclick event.

2) Changing location.hash creates a history entry on FF (not on IE)... that's pretty cool for FF, but in this case I do not want a history entry created. How can this be avoided?

I found an example which seems to have avoided both these problems, but cannot decipher the pertinent code: [URL]

Cleaning Up The "hash" Part Of The Location

Dec 30, 2005

I don't like the way that a link to page top leaves the location bar with something like '#top' appended to it.

So, I'm hooking a listener to the link click event, doing a window.scroll and stopping default action. This is fine as long as the location doesn't already have a hash portion. When it does, I'd like to clean that up without causing a page reload or any server requests.

Is this possible? The closest I got with MSIE is to remove the tail end, but I can't get rid of the actual '#'.

Multistep Form Validation - Form Submits Too Early?

May 14, 2011

I have a multistep jquery form that validates user input and then should send me an email. Problem is, right now, I can only get it to validate the first page, then it sends the email before the rest of the pages are viewed. I'm just trying to delay the submission of the form until the "submit_fourth" button is pressed. I've got $25 via paypal for the one who sticks with this one for long enough to come up with a workable solution.

Here is my code I know it's a lot, but I wasn't sure how much would be HTML code is in the second post in this thread (it was just too much to fit in one go).

"#" Prefix For Location.hash?

Jul 20, 2005

Does anyone know if there are any browsers where you must specify "#"
as a prefix when setting the hash for the location?

For example, the following would move to the intro section of the
document:

window.location.hash = "#intro";

But in the same browser, this would not work:

window.location.hash = "intro";

So far, in the browsers I've tested, the "#" seems to be optional. If
this behaviour is compliant, any references, on-line or otherwise,
would be welcome.

JQuery :: Using Contains() When Form Submits?

Feb 17, 2010

I am trying to figure out the contains() selector, and I may be using it incorrectly.

Basically I am trying to check if the email input field contains 'invalid' in the user entered value.

So shorthand it would be like this:

if (email value contains 'invalid' when form submits) {
do something;
}

This is what I have:

Form No Longer Submits After Adding A Second Form?

Sep 6, 2009

I am using a simple form to submit values to another website. This has been working without any problems. I now have added a second form to the page. I have separated the text boxes and duplicated the information from one form to another. The problem is, when I click on the link that use to submit the information, nothing happens. Before the addition of the new form a new window would open with the search that I had submitted. Am I missing something to point to one form or the other? The following is the code that i am using in the form that no longer submits.

<script language="javascript">
function submitPostLink()
{
document.postlink.submit();
}

Document.location.href Or Document.URL

Dec 18, 2002

Which is the better option to use when dynamically loading a page?

document.location.href = "newpage.html"

or

document.URL = "newpage.html"

My book says that Netscape depreciated document.location.href in favour of document.URL, but yahoo are using document.location.href. Also, is there a good online reference (up-to-date) of the DOM which includes stuff like this?

Firefox Submits Form On Hit Another Button...

Dec 6, 2005

It has a jsp which has a form and two buttons, one of them is html:submit, and the other is html:button. Submit has to post the form, of course, that works correctly on all of
the browsers.

But the other button has an onclick event declared. It calls the implemented javascript function in IE and in Opera, too, but Firefox submits the form as well when I hit submit button.

Form Submits Despite Return False?

Jul 29, 2011

This is a simple email form validation, with javascript. I first coded the basic 'have you filled in the field" stuff and that worked great, the error message poped up and the form would not submit until corrected.I then put together a email validation function using reg ex, and things went slightly awry. The reg ex works, so hat is cool, but after catching an invalid email address, it submits the form anyway.Following the logic, you can see that the form gets validate, then the email address is validated, then the form validation function returns true, which is probably why it is submitting with the bad email address.I never seen an example of this, but can you put a called function into an if statement? So it would go: validate the form, then if the email validation function returns true, go ahead and submit.Anyway, here is the code:

JS code:
function validateForm ()
{
