JavaScript - Looking For A Neat History Trick
I currently use this type of code on my "Processing" page:
Code: <META content="2; url=../" http-equiv="refresh"> I am wondering if its possible to use like JavaScript history to go back? Code: <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> setTimeout(2000) { history.back(); } </SCRIPT> The above is a bit of a guess. Can something be done like that? Similar TutorialsHi all, first post and a bit of a newb, so please be gentle I have a file that generates web galleries in Adobe Lightroom. They are generated depending on which files are selected and the metadata in those files. Basically it is a series of pages of thumbnails called index.html index_1.html index_2.html etc. Then a set of pages for each individual image. An example can be seen he http://68.169.32.107/jonrouston/clients/su-dathan/ (the page navigation links are not great, but I have addressed that, they're at the bottom >> ) Currently if a user clicks on a photo there is a 'return to thumbnails button at the top, but this always takes them to /index.html So the user could be at a picture after browsing to /index_39.html and still get returned to /index Is there any way I can use history.go to find the last instance of index.html Or index_x.html (where x is any number) and take them back to that instead? Thanks for any help Jon Overview: Order entry project. I am using an iFrame to pull external forms that I can not change. Once our employee enters in the information and submits I would like to redirect the existing window to a new page. I've tried many variations of: Code: <script type='text/javascript'> function iHistory() { var hist=history.length; if (hist>1) { parent.window.location = "orderentry.php"; } } </script> Since I have no control of the external form I have been using OnLoad() in the iFrame tag to call iHistory(). The script works great unless the browser history is >1 If possible, I would like to also setup like a 5 or 10 second delay so the employee can see the framed confirmation page before redirect. So the function needs to check current history.length, when that changes delay 5-10 seconds and redirect parent window to orderentry.php Hiya was wondering if someone can help me with this: basically i'm trying to create a Back button for a report page. the first report page is a listing of dates... if i click on a date... it will open up a page with detail. I want to put the history.go on the page with detail to go back to the date listing page. obviously the page with details has page numbers. i already added a counter for clicking on the [previous] or [next]. i'm thinking of just using that click++ value and put the value on the var within history.go(var) Code: var clickCount = 1; function addcount() { a = clickCount++; return a; alert(a); } <a href="javascript:history.go( dunno what to put here )">Back</a> <a href="abc" onclick="addcount()">Previous</a> <a href="def" onclick="addcount()">Next</a> possible? or is there a better way to do this? no direct url won't work. I know that Javascript cannot look at the URLs in the browser's history object. I am not concerned with the content. I have a page that is a serious problem when user's hit the BACK button and get to it because it causes a ping-pong affect of going back, and then loading the next page again (and again and again) each time the user hits back. Is there any way to know if the page being displayed is not the last page in the history? If I can see that it is not the last page then I can send the user to the correct page instead of just pushing them forward. THANKS! I am using a Jump Menu: Code: function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0 eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'"); if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; } function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v3.0 var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);} if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n]; for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document); return x; } function MM_jumpMenuGo(selName,targ,restore){ //v3.0 var selObj = MM_findObj(selName); if (selObj) MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore); } Code: <form name="FrontPage_Form1" language="JavaScript" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)"> <!--webbot bot="Validation" b-disallow-first-item="TRUE" --><select name="menu" class="TextArea" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('self',this,0)"> <option value="javascript:myVoid()" selected>Choose One </option> <option value="1.html">One</option> <option value="2.html">Two</option> </select> </form> Is there some way to make such a jump menu observe the history, so that going back will go back to the page containing the form? I am not sure if this has been posted before but I need help with this. When a user clicks on the back button I need them to be directed to the previous page and still have their original selections and not the defaults. Here is the rest of code on the back button. At the moment this is not working. <input id=STDBUTSHORT type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.back();">') Thanks in advance. Hello all is there any way to get browse history list ? with java script ? I need an html page that when visited automatically redirects the browser to return to the previous page it was on. here is the current code I have: Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function load() { history.go(-1) alert(""); } </script> </head> <body onload="load()"> <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html> this works in firefox but in IE you have to press ok in the alert box before it returns. I admit I am a javascript novice. Any suggestions Hi,

Hi all, I have a frame structure (three frames) where the top one is my flash navigation. The navigation itself is quite complex so I have given up on the idea of creating a back button code to control the flash. All I want to do now is to refresh the flash page when browser's back button is pressed. What I would like to do is to set a variable of the previous page I just have been so when I hit browser's back button I know if this page is the same as the variable. In each individual page i would set the varaible to be the previous page. Here are few things I have tried so far and none of them seems to work (even online!) (sections is the name of the main frame) old_page = parent.sections.history.previous; old_page =document.referrer; I tried both of them at the beginning of each page. then used onUnload command in the body tag to call a function on another frame where I have the comparison: function check_history(old_page){ if (old_page == parent.sections.location){ alert(" refresh flash"); } If I use referrer, the value is null (empty) or if I use history the variable is undefined. Has anyone come accross with anything similar? Thank you very much for your help. I have a stupid problem... Page 1 and Page 2 have a link to Page 3 Page 3 is a html page, the frame source is Page 4 There is a javascript:history.go(-1) link on Page 4. I want to go back to page 1 (not inside the frame, i want it to go back to the previous page just like when you click the "back" button of your browser) or go back to page 2 (whichever one is the last page) but the link doesn't work because it's inside a frame... If i go directly to page 4 without using the page with the frame (page 3) the link will work and get me back to page 1 or page 2... some help would be appreciated !! Hi I am using back button with javascript:history.back(); on it but the page I want to go back have anchor link smth like: http://example.com/index.php#anchor_link How do I go back ? I've tried javascript.history.go(-1); a Hi, I need a javascript function to show and allow user to access Browser stored Favorites and Recent History in a web page. Thanks, GravityPush how i can refresh my main history page without page refresh alert message? i am using the following code on the submitpage.asp <%response.write ("<script>window.location.reload(history.go(-2));</script>")%> i got the attached message when it refreshes the main page. is there is a way to refresh directly without this message? The question is on iframes/bookmarkablity and back button functionality. This issue I am facing is how to create iframes with bookmarkable url's without loosing the back button functionality.Lets say all the pages are in the same domain and the child pages inform parent of the child page load for updating the window.location.hash property to modify the current browser address bar. The updation of the url works fine on IE/FF/webkit. But the back button works as expected in IE-8 but the browser back-button does not work in FF/webkit (just the url changes the previous page is not loaded). If we don't update the window.location.hash property the back button works but the window url is not meaningful. Is there a way to get this functionality accross browsers, or is there an easier better way to do it (any other js libs). All pages are served from the same server to get around the permission issue. Gmail and other sites looks like they does something like this. I've been working on a site where the content is displayed in an iframe. The iframe content is on a different domain than the iframe itself. I've already got around the cross-domain problems by creating a file on the parent domain that the iframe content references via another iframe. (which uses parent.parent to skip the permissions issue) That was all fine and pressing back and forward in the browser navigated back and forward in the iframe (at least in FF, not 100% sure about other browsers) Then the client wasn't happy that the url in the browser didn't change and pages couldn't be bookmarked. So I created a solution where the parent.parent.location.href was changed to be domain.com/#/path/to/iframecontent.php so that pages could be bookmarked, that works fine but now back and forward don't work, or more specifically the url changes correctly but the iframe content doesn't go back. So, i have this code which retrieves php files for me using jquery and id love to get it working with Jquery history plugin. I tried modifying the code i got from the ajax demo to work for me, but i just couldnt do it as i do not know any javascript really.. ( actually what i tried was simply to change "#ajax-links a" to "#menu li a" and .html to .php ..but nothing.. :rolleyes: Id be very gratefull if someone would help me out with this one. All related code can be found bellow (the ones that should be needed anyways): This is the code that retrieves php files inside "#content" when item from "#menu li a" with the specified id is clicked Code: $(document).ready(function(){ //References var change = $("#menu li a"); var loading = $("#loading"); var content = $("#content"); //Manage click events change.click(function(){ //show the loading bar showLoading(); //load selected section if(this.id == "home") { change.load(this.className='current-page'); content.slideUp(); content.load("pages/index.php", hideLoading); content.slideDown(); } else if(this.id == "secondpage") { change.load(this.className='current-page'); content.slideUp(); content.load("pages/secondpage.php", hideLoading); content.slideDown(); } else { //hide loading bar if there is no selected section hideLoading(); } }); //show loading bar function showLoading(){ loading .css({visibility:"visible"}) .css({opacity:"1"}) .css({display:"block"}) ; } //hide loading bar function hideLoading(){ loading.fadeTo(1000, 0); }; }); Heres the structure of the menu/content Code: <ul id="menu"> <li><a id="home" class="normal" href="#Home"></a></li> <li><a id="secondpage" class="normal" href="#Secondpage"></a></li> </ul> <div id="content"> <ul id="sec-menu"> <li><a id="link1" class="normal" href="#">Link1</a></li> <li><a id="link2" class="normal" href="#">Link2</a></li> </ul> </div> Heres the code that jquery history plugin uses in demo for ajax Code: jQuery(document).ready(function($) { function load(num) { $('#content').load(num +".html"); } $.history.init(function(url) { load(url == "" ? "1" : url); }); $('#ajax-links a').live('click', function(e) { var url = $(this).attr('href'); url = url.replace(/^.*#/, ''); $.history.load(url); return false; }); }); |
