Using Anchor Jumps With 'instant' Anchor Based Navigation?
Sep 4, 2011
Having a little bit of trouble with a site I'm currently working on I'm using some AJAX for the instant g-mail/facebook style navigation, you know the kind, with no refreshes, etc. Problem is, to allow for back/forward and bookmarks, I currently use a URL that looks like:[URL].. This is fine, not a problem... The issue comes into play when I want to open up the news.html page, from my home.html page, and have it open to news item #6 (for example).
I can't add a #, because one is already being used to reference the anchor for the content div. Has anyone run into a similar problem before? If so, how did you resolve it? Can some jQuery be used to find the location of the news item div in question, on load, and scroll to it like that?
I need to get the page to reload with the anchor in the link when it is clicked in a dropdown menu. For example if I am on 'www.domain.com/about/#2' and I then click on 'www.domain.com/about/#3' the url changes but the page doesn't reload so I need the page to reload, but keep the new anchor (#3).I gave the links with anchors a class of 'reload' and tried this:
I have a script that scans an HTML document for headers and special comment tags for the purpose of generating a left-floating/position-fixed DIV that contains the document's outline or "table of contents." Within the DIV are lists (UL element by default) whose items (LI elements) are jump-to links (A elements) to the points (headers, special points marked for inclusion in table of contents) in the document. The problem is this. I have typical HTML document with links that jump to points (usually headers) inside the document, as shown below:
Code:
<body> <p>This is addressed <a href="#later-text">later</a> in this document <h1><a id="later-text"></a>Header Text</h1> <p>... </body>
But my script, being a document outliner that finds headers in a document, inserts another anchor as a jump-to point just before the first occurrence of text in the header (inserted A element shown in red below). This somehow disables the document-coded jump anchor (shown in blue below). And it occurs in FF and IE, which suggests it is not a browser-specific issue. Why does it occur? Is there something in the HTML spec that states that two anchors to which a jump occurs are not allowed to be adjacent elements in the document?
Code:
<body> <p>This is addressed <a href="#later-text">later</a> in this document <h1><a id="later-text"></a><a id="jump-1"></a>Header Text</h1>
[code]....
To reproduce what I am seeing, search for the text "Why Is A Survey Done". The first occurrence is a within-document jump-to link, which should jump to a header below it. If the script execution to generate a document outline is disabled, the jump works. But if the script is executed and the document outline generated, the jump-to link does not work.
I recently had a request from a client and I'm not entirely sure this is possible. I'll try to explain it the best I can, as I can't share the development files yet...
We have a page with an image map of the United States. If anyone clicks on a state, it will bring them to a new
page. This new page contains a table that has named anchors on it, each row being a different state.
So, for example, if someone clicks on South Carolina on the map page, they will be brought here[code]...
The #sc anchor will scroll the new page down to the row in the table about South Carolina.
Is there any way to highlight the table row that the person is looking for? For example, if they click on South Carolina, they will be brought to this new page and the South Carolina row in the table would be highlighted.
Does anyone have any javascript code that can navigate to an anchor in the page load? I use location.href and it works in IE, but I can not get it to work properly in FireFox.
1) In setting the attributes on the fly, how do I attach the anchor's text (the user clicks on) to the anchor?
2) Is there a way to include the attributes within the global variable's original definition, thereby sparing me from coding the attributes on the fly?
I'm starting to play with JS/JQuery and I don't know how to get the name af an anchor. I have a list of img faces and when hovering them, I want to display a random quotation
I have a div that scrolls horizontally that I use for navigation. As you go to each page, it'd be great if that scrolling nav div would take you to which page you were currently on, so you could navigate easier. If I use anchors for the links, it works (as in scrolls to the right spot), but obviously also shifts the page down, which I don't want.
Does anyone know a method to which I can get this div to scroll without shifting the page down?
I need to add acnhor tag dynamically using javascript. I have achived this using following code, but there is little prioblem.
Code: function addURL(token){ var tableObject = document.getElementById("tableConfirmationsToAttach"); var rowCount = tableObject.rows.length; var row = tableObject.insertRow(rowCount);
I use named anchors to take users to specific parts of a long page. But I want to add some processing and do some things with my nav bar when users go to certain sections delineated by named anchors. I understand that the anchors array creates an element for each anchor in the page when the page is loaded, but how do I identify which anchor is currently being viewed?
Here's some pseudo code:
if (document.anchors.name == "section_B") {
then do this or that
}
But what do I test to determine the current anchor name?
What about using id's instead of names? Can the anchors array return anchors created with id's as well as names? Would this be of any benefit?
I placed an anchor at the end of my long page inside a top <iframe>.
my entry field is in another iframe at the bottom. when i enter something and hit return, it adds a new line to the html file as well as <a name=END></a> tag (there is only one END tag at the end of the file)
I then request top frame to reload and goto END tag.
sometimes it works, sometimes it won't (IE). Is this normal ? Is it Frame related?
If using an onclick event handler to execute javascript when an anchor element is clicked on, what should the href attribute be? #? javascript:void(0)? Something else?
So div.class1 wil animate from 100px to 250px if it's clicked. However, I couldnot click the link inside this div. Everytime i click it will be animated to 100px, and I can never get the link.
How can I keep the div.class1 open so that I can click on the link??
Now i want to get the anchor name of the corresponding paragraph. For example: if i hover the paragraph 2 then it will display the name of anchor tag as "Paragraph 2". can we do this in jquery? if yes then how can we achieve this?
I tried the following, but no luck. It updates the html value of all anchor tags with the value contained in the 1st tr $('td.c1Top table tbody tr td.ms-vb a').attr('href', $('td.c1Link table tbody tr td.ms-vb a').html());

I currently have a script to jump to an anchor tag when the page loads:
<script type="text/javascript"> function goToAnchor() { location.href = "myPage.html#myAnchor"; } </script>
Now, I would like to take it a step further and would like to link from page A to page B that usually takes a while to load and once the page loads, run a script to jump to the specified anchor tag on the page after everything has loaded. I know I have to add some parameters at the end of the url link on page A, but that's where I get stuck.
I want to add a small but informative weather widget to one of my web sites. Having searched around, most are either too big or too simple.
I did find "one" that I liked but it links to a lame page. I would rather have no link rather than the one provided. The widget I like is a simple javascript "include file" similar to this one:
I Am trying to use the following script to generate a url dynamically and I can get the link working just fine with plain txt in the anchor area but when I try to add an image - I am running into trouble.
I'm filling in for a coworker on a radio stations website.
The station currently streams live online. I want to add an event tracking so I can track how many people are streaming. I'm really new to js, but I think I figured it out (keyword is "think"). However, there was already an onclick event within the anchor tag. Can I have two in the same tag? Is there a better way to do this?
To order a customized product from my site, the user has to upload an image and then submit text (separate steps but part of the same php form) before adding to their cart. Currently, the user must scroll back down from the top of the page to the next part of the form after each step which is more confusing than I would like.
The first step of the form uses a straight forward <form> and I was able to add an action="#anchor" to jump down to where I set the first anchor.
The second step is regrettably not so straight forward and I'm having trouble adding an anchor. After entering text, the user clicks a submit button which triggers an alert letting them know the text was submitted successfully. When the user clicks the okay button on the popup alert, I would like the page to jump down to the 'add to cart' portion.
I have a questionregarding passing a function within an anchor element href during dom scripting using javascript. for eg:
the xslt file contains <a href="javascript:{@test}('{@value}')">
how will i write this in javascript. Basically the xml file has
test = "help" and no value parameter in this particular xml file currently
the basic idea is to pass help('') in href of anchor tag the help function is already defined.
i have currently written as: var help = element.getAttribute('test'); var value = element.getAttribute('value'); elementA.href = 'javascript:help + '(' + value + ')'
value should be equal to ' ' where as in my case it is returning null and not sure on the syntax that i am using for href.
