How To Set Link's "visited" Property/pseudo-class Without Clicking On The Link
Apr 27, 2007
I would like to set the link's "visited" pseudo-class with javascript
without clicking on the link. My goal is to update the link's color
(previously set in the CSS file) to be "visited" without actually
clicking on the link and then clicking "back" in the browser.
Does anyone know how? Here are the following things I've already
tried to no avail:
var obj = document.getElementById("idOfMyLink");
//obj.visited=true; // NO
//obj.style.visited=true; // NO
//obj.click(); // NO, performs a click and takes me away from
current page
/*
// Setting the src of an iframe on the same page, trying to
"stuff" this URL into browser's "History"
var theFrame = document.getElementById("myiframe");
theFrame.src = obj.href;
// NO. The iframe does go to correct URL, but the link's color
doesn't update.*/Any ideas?
I'm creating a list of items which visually look like checkboxes. They will work similar to the ones used on eBay that allow you to select only new/used items. Mine are a little simpler though. Here is the markup:
I have strip of navigation tabs, which are marked up as a <ul> and styled to look like tabs with borders and all that. In my stylesheet I have the pseudo-classes for :link , :visited , :hover , :active and all of those work fine.
But I'd like to have the browser highlight whichever link a viewer is currently on by having Javascript activate the already defined :active pseudo-class. What's the syntax for that? Is it even possible?
I've been googling for almost an hour and havn't gotten anything.
is there a way to force a pseudo class on an element?
something like navObj.style.hover = true;
I haven't been able to find anything, but what I'm trying to do it make it so if you click on a button or whatever it keeps its active state until another button is clicked.
I don't know if this is the right place for this, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else!
I have the folowing test page: [index.html]
<html> <body> <form id="go" method="post" action="page2.html"> <a href="java script:;"* here 1</a> <a href="java script:;"* here 2</a> </form> </body> </html>
*"java script:;" should not have the space, but for some reason if you don't use the space it comes out "javascript:;"
In IE if you click the link "Click here 1", and then return to this page it will mark the link that you clicked as visited (and leave the other unvisited even tho it goes to the same place, which is nice) but if you do the same in Firefox it will not mark the link as visited, which is rather frustrating. Does any one know if it is possible to get the clicked link marked as visited in firefox?
There's a feature I want to implement, but don't really know how to code. The intention is to use jQuery to convert words with a certain class attribute into Wikipedia links.
An example to make things clearer:
PLAIN TEXT: There is a <span class="wiki">penguin</span> there.
EXPECTED RESULT: There is a <a href [url] there.
Hence the code would have to grab the string of words inside the tag and place them inside a href with the first part of the link already attached to it. Doesn't seem too complicated, but I wasn't able to do it.
I have been trying to use the code below (created by Patrick Haney and improved by enraged) as a basis, but no deal. This code subistitutes words for code, but it searches for specific words.
If anybody knows a script like that, modify the code below,
Anyone know how I can change the color of a text link on a page that doesn't load a new page, but rather stays on the same page?The nav links already use an onClick to present content below it that changes depending on what link in the nav I select. In other words, there's already two things going on -- links take you to content on the same page using a JS onClick.What I want to add to that is when you click on the link, it changes style, like turns bold or changes color. So then the user knows that not only have they selected new content, but the link they selected stands out as well.
I'll admit right away that this is for a homework assignment, but I really did try to solve it myself before I decided to post here. The instructions are to have a confirm box pop up when links with the HTML class value "external" are clicked. If the user clicks "OK" they should be directed to the linked page. If they click "Cancel" they should not be directed anywhere.Here's my code:
function checkClass() { var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for ( var i = 0 ; i < links.length ; i++ ) {
I'm having issues with jquery and the tabs I'm using. My tabs work but... I want some more functions and that seems to be a big problem for a Javascript and jquery newby.
I really don't know if this is correct but it works! What doesn't work is the active class. If you use one of the buttons in the first tab you go to the right tab but the tab itself has no class called active and that ruins the style.
2) I also have one other question: lets say that all the above is my second page and I have my frontpage in which I also have buttons. I want somebody to use the button and end up in the third tab of page 2. My link is something like
Code: page2.html#tab3
I read that using this should lead you the third tab but it's not working for me. You go to the first tab of page 2 instead.
I've been reading a LOT! Jquery for dummies, I googled, read the forum and other forums. I posted on a Dutch forum but no answer. I've added a lot of different code but it doesn't work.
I have all links that is needed to be click on so what I want to do is, after they click all 4 links, it will enable the button. I know that we have to do this in Javascript but I'm stuck.
Example, there 4 links, after they click all links, it will enable the button.
I'm relatively new to jQuery, and I'm trying to figure out how to create a restaurant menu, that when you click on an item on this menu, an image and description will show on the page. [URL]I've looked through several plugins but cannot find this exact solution. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
I use malsups Cycle plugin a lot as it is very versatile, however when I have a pager with a slider and click through to the next slide (whilst current slide is animating) it jolts to the end of the current slide transition before continuing with the next slide transition. Example: [URL]. Ideally, when you click on the next pager link, (before it has finished sliding), it finishes it's animation and scrolls to the next OR slides from it's current point on the current transition to the end of the next slide.
I have a problem with my menu. I am trying to add and remove classes when clicking on the main menu links. For instance when on load, the 'Home' is the current tab clicked, but when I click on 'Contact Me' I would like the class current to be removed from 'Home' and added to
'Contact Me' instead.</div> <div> </div> <div>The code im using is the one below.</div>[code]....
I have several tags on a webpage of the same class. If the user clicks a specific checkbox I'd like to be able to alter the display property of the class, affecting all objects of that class.
This is an intranet application so we know that javascript will be enabled and the browser will be IE.
How can I affect all the members of this class? Is there a way I can toggle the DISPLAY property of a class so all the elements using that class would be affected? Code:
How can I get the CSS properties from such "class inheritance" set-up? More in particular, how can I get the marginLeft from the class "combination" .northSouth.ambiPixelBox? I tried the following in jQuery, but that failed:
The script is working, tab-content is changing but when clicked a tab I want to change class property of the li of active tab as class="current"How can I do it
Using 1.4.1. A comments app. Clicking certain links fetches a comment form which displays below. The button then becomes a "cancel" link. Clicking that removes the form and sets the button back to its original state. Or so it should. I'm seeing some strange behavior. Some strange, but understandable, some not so much.
Basic code:
After removing the form, my code fetches it again and re-displays it. The problem appears to be that click event isstill "happening" and so live() fires immediately. I tried using stopPropagation(), which keeps the form from re-loading but for some reason also keeps displayFormHandler from being run on subsequent clicks.
I saw a hint in the comments for stopPropagation() and added, in cancelFormHandler:
And:
Again, this keeps the form from re-displaying but, bizarrely, causes displayFormHandler to always return false (the console.log() line runs every time). I can understand why the original problem happens but this doesn't make any sense at all. If the class has been removed, subsequent clicks should proceed normally because hasClass() is being evaluated at the time of the click, not when live() is called.
. I have a problem where I designed my web page project and eventually it must contain a background song that will continuously play even clicking the links/pages.
For some reason I cannot get jQuery.css('name') to return a style property that was assigned by a class. However, it returns the property if it was assigned by style="". Has anyone else run into this issue? Bug?
I could use a hand changing the display property of a group of objects based on classname. What I have here doesn't work; perhaps you can see why? I think the basic problem is that I don't know how to access the objects properly.. Code:
I am using javascript to switch between a series of divs, on clicking a navigation tab the divs display property is set to 'block' and all other divs have their display property set to 'none'. That works fine, the problem I have is when I redirect to another page (e.g. a PHP script) on return to the index the divs have reset and only the default div is shown, rather than the div that was showing when the user left the page. The solution, as I see it, is two stages: Write a function to display the relevant div based on the variable passed to it, then work out how to pass this variable around various pages (post/get). I am very inexperienced with javascript and it drives me mad that the script literally does nothing rather than throwing up an error (as in PHP) but this is what I have so far in terms of a function:
I have two links that have the same class name (like class="item191") on the same site. I want to hover one of these links and both links should become highlighted.
