Disclaimer 1: I am not a programmer, just a curious designer, so please take that into consideration in your replies.
Disclaimer 2: Despite all advices against it, I couldn't find a better solution to my website than using iFrame
Disclaimer 3: Before asking for help, I researched *several* forums and although I found people discussing similar issues,
implementing a method to intercept and redirect external links to a dynamic iframe. By "dynamic" iframe I mean an iframe whose SRC would be filled up in accordance to the external URL being intercepted and that it would resize its HEIGHT accordingly in order to avoid scroll bars.The function for resizing the iframe id="child" is already correctly implemented like so:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function calcHeight()[code]...
This "replacement" function would be called onLoad and if tested true would run and refresh the page with the proper value in the iframe SRC.All this should be accomplished while still making the iframe HEIGHT dynamically adjustable and show a "clean" URL in the browser, such as "http:[url].....The potential issues I foresee is an infinite loop due to two onLoad queries (one for SRC, another for HEIGHT) in the parent and child objects, which might required a merge into a single script.
I am trying to get an iframe to have dynamic height - I want it to resize to fit the contents of the page.There is a four or five step process within the iframe. So for example, page 1 is rather short, and it'll have a link that sends you to page 2, which might be rather long.I have no control over the pages I am using in the iframe and they are on another domain.I have googled and and searched the forum and I've yet to find anything that works. A lot of them say they're not cross-browser compatible, but I haven't gotten anything to work how I'd like in any browser.I'd like to do it without jQuery.
does anyone have sample code to display a pop up when a user leaves the site? I really don't want to use this technique, but the clients demand it.
I'm thinking something like un body onunload, catch the URL they're linking to and parse it for our own site's url and only display the pop up if they're different.
I'm normally over on the PHP board but this one is definitely a javascript issue. The thread title doesn't quite cover my issue, so I'll try to explain a little further.I built a website for a client who tells me that when he hovers over a word on his page it pops up a link to a competing site. I assured him that I didn't put the links in there, that it's a script or program running on his computer creating those links as he views the page.So my questions:
1. Is there a name for this evil? 'Popup spam ads' or something? 2. Anyone know of a way to build in javascript or any other method to stop this from happening to his site?
I am using Toby's iKonize script and would like to add a little more functionality to the script but not sure how to.
I would like the script to find all external links and have them open in a new window, rather than setting the target, can this be achieved? Also, if the image could be added after the anchor so it doesn't get any of the styling associated with the anchor element.
I should write a script which should distinguish internal and external links with JS. The links can be absolute or relative. I thought the best guess would be to first check if it is a relative link by checking the first character of the string is a /. (but how do you do this?) Then it will be always an internal link.
Then I thought to check if the URL (this.href) starts with the current protocol + location.host . If YES, it is an internal URL, else it is an external URL.
So does anybody know how to check if a URL starts with '/' or '[URL]
I am using a JavaScript to add a 'blank' target to any links that have 'external' specified in the REL. This is working great, but on some of the links, I need to give the user the ability to click the surrounding <li> item as well.
So my regular link looks like this:
<li><a rel="external" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li> I need to figure out how to add the REL to the onclick in the LI <li onclick="location.href='http://www.google.com/';"><a rel="external" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li>
[Code]...
I can't seem to find any instructions about how to insert this REL option....
For example, you want to make different all links (a tags), which href attribute is set to external site. So I wrote a small piece of JQuery code, which add class, to all external links.As bonus it's also do shortening of long URLs in link text.
into an external javascript function that will do the same thing (open all links in a new window individually if javascript is enabled, without destroying links in html for if javascript is not enabled).
I have an external JS file with an array of menu links called (menu.js).
The code is shown below:
I have called the javascript in my websites main page (index.html), but it does not work.
The html code is shown below:
The javascript for the array of menu links works when it is inserted directly within the html file, but when it remains external and is called in index.html it does not work. I am not sure why this is the case.
My site pages are now html4/strict so I used the "function externalLinks" script found here [URL]. I followed the instructions carefully, made sure I copied the script shown to the external.js file and uploaded it into the same directory as the html files. Also made sure that external.js was called as required in the head. Also made sure all target="_blank" were changed to rel="external" as required. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The link takes the visitor outside my site, instead of creating a new window. I don't get it. Here's one of my pages ... [URL]
If you click on the Retaining Walls link, it will direct you to a new page and the anchor will be highlighted. The issue is that if you attempt to click on Drainage or Design/Build, then it will not scroll up to the anchor.Other than that, if you were already on that page, then the anchors and scroll works fine. Is there something I can do to fix it?
This works on any "href" external link or link with class of "external". I have one link that needs to be added that is external but needs to appear to not be and not give the warning message.
I am in a bit of a rut in the self-teaching with JS. I am trying to get links to change the external js file currently on the main page without reloading, the external files are basically long document.write sections with a few interactive functions.
The closest I have found for help with this so far is a rotating script, but I want a manual change from a link (button, image, etc) instead of timeOut rotation. I am not sure what I need to do for the links to replace the timeout function to change the dynamic section.
I have a form with several rows and each has a text box labeled 'Status'. The user should be able to change the value of Status, then click Save and a GET query will be run in an iframe without interrupting the browser window. To do this I am using a onkeydown event so the Save button's (which is an a href link) href address is changed to what is in the box. But I can't get the box's value to change! Code:
I have the existing code that will change all my links to external sites to open in a new window. I now want to change it to allow me to have a way that it will not do this if I put something special in the a href tag.
trying to make a simple web app that will let a user select from a catagory, then, when the catagory is selected, it stores the selection in a php session variable, which will be used in another sql statement to retrieve a locations list where catagory = "the stored catagory selection". The new list of locations will be displayed in a second div and each item in the locations list will also get information from the database when selected. Im able to pull the first catagory list from the database and show the div that they are displayed in using jquery and php but the new list of links will not change to show the contents of the third div.
Here is a short tutorial on dynamic-links which use javascript to create the page. Ok to start open up notepad and type
<html><head> <title>My first dynamic link</title> </head><body><script> var name=prompt("Enter name:",""); var age=prompt("Enter age:",""); if (name == "" || age == ""){ document.write("Please reload and fill everything in."); } else { document.write('<a href="javascript:dp='Your name:'+name+'<br>Your age:'+age+''">Click here for dynamic page</a>'); } </script> <noscript><a href="getfirefox.com">Get a decent browser</a></noscript> </body></html>
Ok save it and test it out. I am writing this kinda fast so if it doesn't work pm me or reply to this topic. Ok we will go over what it does now. 1. First it gives you the prompt name then age. It checks whether they are both filled in and if they aren't it says to reload. Otherwise it writes down the link. Next we will go over the link. 2. Here is the infrastructure of the link.
1. The start of most links "<a href="
2. The starting of the string for the browser to connect to " " "
3. The tag that defines a javascript page and its name is dp. "javascript:dp"
4. What the javascript equals " = "
5. Start of the string for the javascript to do " ' "
6. Now it displays the text Your name: "Your name:"
7. It now appends the variable from the script name to it. EG:your name you entered. "'+name+'"
8. It makes a line break and displays the text Your Age: "<br>Your age:"
9. It now appends the variable from the script age to it. EG:your age you entered. " '+age+' "
10. Leaves a blank space " "
11. Starts to end the javascript string by closing the space for text and a semi-colon to end the page. "'"
12. Ends the html string for the link and displays text for the link." ">Click here for dynamic page"
returnSingleValue() is a Javascript function, from this function I need to access all the dynamic href values in the form. How do I do this ? I tried many options, but it didnt work out..
I searched, but couldn't find answers--probably because I'm not sure what this is called... Anyway, I have about 50 web pages and I want to have some JavaScript that will read in a list of keywords, scan the web page and create links on any of those keywords... Is there any way to do this sort of thing?
probably a simple question but I can't for the life of mefigure out how to do this:I have a page that has information on various # anchors, a list ofthem are at the top and once clicked I need the one clicked to becomeunderlined and remain underlined untiled a different # is clicked.How on earth do I do this? I've managed to use jquery toggle to turnon an underline once it is clicked, but i have to click the same linkagain to turn it off, which is not what I want, I need it toautomatically turn off once a different link is clicked
My application reads an array of URLs in Javascript and displays them in a table. I need to create mouseover events for each of the links (just an alert message for now.) I have tried this a few ways, but for each one the mouseover event fires for each link before anything else is loaded on the page, and when the page is loaded, no link is displayed. Here are the two ways I've tried:
The code below displays a dynamic table with all its contents in the form of links.I wanna know as to how i can detect whether any of the links in the table has been clicked.As the table is dynamic i am not aware of the syntax of how to use the onClick evnt handler for these links. Code:
