JavaScript - Open Page In Self?

Hey there

I want to know how i can make a page that opens and loads content in a div tag when i click a certain link on my home page.

i have a javscript code to load content into a div tag when the link is on the same page as the div tag, but i want to get a script where it will open a new page and load content into a div tag on that page.

like the link must be something like main.html?div=content.html

i know how to do this with iframes, but i want to work with div tags

thank you

javascript for loading content into the div tag on the same page :

PHP Code:

var bustcachevar=1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
var loadedobjects=""
var rootdomain="http://"+window.location.hostname
var bustcacheparameter=""

function clientSideInclude(containerid, url){
var page_request = false
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
page_request = new XMLHttpRequest()
else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
try {
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
} 
catch (e){
try{
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){}
}
}
else
return false
page_request.onreadystatechange=function(){
loadpage(containerid, page_request)
}
if (bustcachevar) //if bust caching of external page
bustcacheparameter=(url.indexOf("?")!=-1)? "&"+new Date().getTime() : "?"+new Date().getTime()
page_request.open('GET', url+bustcacheparameter, true)
page_request.send(null)
}

function loadpage(containerid, page_request){
if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1))
document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML=page_request.responseText
}

function loadobjs(){
if (!document.getElementById)
return
for (i=0; i<arguments.length; i++){
var file=arguments[i]
var fileref=""
if (loadedobjects.indexOf(file)==-1){ //Check to see if this object has not already been added to page before proceeding
if (file.indexOf(".js")!=-1){ //If object is a js file
fileref=document.createElement('script')
fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
fileref.setAttribute("src", file);
}
else if (file.indexOf(".css")!=-1){ //If object is a css file
fileref=document.createElement("link")
fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
fileref.setAttribute("href", file);
}
}
if (fileref!=""){
document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(fileref)
loadedobjects+=file+" " //Remember this object as being already added to page
}
}
} 

Hi
Im trying to creat a website so when the small image is rolled over a new page opens in the frame ( called main) i will upload it now to http://www.e-z-host.com/GZ/ all help apricated ! at the momment you have to click to open the page in the main frame.

Hello Everybody

I have recently been tasked with a unique task and for the life of me I can not work out how to do it.

Using this website as an example:

http://www.coastalcontacts.com/cFaq.html

You can see that the FAQ questions open and close as you click on them, leaving the page looking clean for the most part.

Now I am writing up a landing page that will be doing something similar, however I would like the page to scroll down as each new question is opened up.

Meaning I click on one of the faq questions closer to the bottom of the page and then it scrolls down to show all the new content.

This does not need to happen for questions that do not go to the bottom of the page and are fully visible.

Any and all ideas would be much appreciated

Thank you

I have a website that is using ajax to keep the page up to date with the database information. I call this page through a file called start.php. Once index.php is loaded it has a menu with selections. I then want it to call a page called query.php in an iframe to update the information, but not open a new window. In the iframe the query.php will run and then redirect itself to blank.php. The code is as follows and any help would be much appreciated. I have tried several methods of doing this and they have been commented out because they didn't work or didn't do what I wanted them to do. I do not want to use window.open since IE doesn't work well with it.

window.open does work by pop up windows but I want to stay away from them.
The main code I am looking to get help on is in red under start.php.

In start.php I will include the entire file. In index.php I'm only going to include the main sections I use for this snippit. In query.php I'm not going to include query.php since I beleive this file isn't important for this snippit.

start.php
Code:

					//Display your error message here. 
					//and inform the user they might want to upgrade
					//their browser.

				}

					//Setup the connection as a GET call to SayHello.html.
					//True explicity sets the request to asyncronous (default).
				    receiveReq.open("GET", 'index.php', true);
					//Set the function that will be called when the XmlHttpRequest objects state changes.

I have a menu that lists all the categories and sub categories, when someone clicks a main category it opens up the sub cats for it. if someone clicks one of the sub cats the page open up to show all items in that category.

But what I would like to find out is how do I get the menu to open up as it was so it shows the category and sub category open?

How could I open a page/popup after closing one?
The objective is to log the user out if they haven't Logged out or clicked Logout.

I am sure there is a simple way to do this. None of my ideas work.

The only answer I could come with (after testing the whole day...)
IE(any version), Firefox, and other browsers don't support this idea, due to the fact that the user clicked close and you can't impose things on them.

Hi all , I need some help in altering the location tag and the View Larger Map links to open in a new window, currently it opens in the same window.

I didn't set any links myself, they were already in the code that I got from Google Maps, I placed it on my page as a custom script.

I tried to edit it myself and other frames on my page got all muddle up in preview !!!!!


_THE CODE_
<iframe width="350" height="280" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.109574,-8.030563&amp;spn=0.011328,0.022724&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.109574,-8.030563&amp;spn=0.011328,0.022724&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>

Hi, I have some JavaScript that is being used to open a new window and display a PDF file. This is working fine apart from the title of the new window being open. I am using the window.open function and I have set the title of the page using the document.write function (see code below). The code works fine for FF and IE but for some reason Google Chrome just displays 'Untitled - Google Chrome'

Code:

<body>
    <a href="javascript:openNewWindow();">Click Here</a>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function openNewWindow()
        {
            var pdfWindow = window.open('', "window",
                'resizable=1,scrollbars=0,width=800,height=600');

            pdfWindow.document.write('<html><head><title>Window Title</title></head>');

            pdfWindow.document
                    .write('<body><iframe src="" id="ifrm" name="ifrm" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>');

            pdfWindow.document.write('</body></html>');

            pdfWindow.document.close();
        }
    </script>
</body>

Note: I have also tried adding - pdfWindow.document.title="Title"; - to the JavaScript, with no luck.

Is there anything specific that is required for Chrome or am I just missing something??

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Gurus,

For Example:
In this forum, when hovered on each topic, the topic description is displayed as tool-tip.

can anyone shed some light?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I am trying to open some SWF videos from an HTML page. When the user clicks the link, I would like to have the videos open in a transparent window (not a separate browser wndow).

I have figured out how to embed the files and have them open in a transparent window as soon as you load/refresh the page but I want to open the SWF using a link.

Any suggestions?

Thank you all.

my password target opens in a new window using the 'open.window' command but i would like a command string that opens this target in the same frame within my frames page that my other pages open in.
thanks in advance manj

I have an older website consisting of frames (html). Now I want to password protect one page. So far I added the following Javascript which I found on youtube:

<SCRIPT>
function passWord() {
var testV = 1;
var pass1 = prompt('Please Enter Your Password',' ');
while (testV < 3) {
if (!pass1)
history.go(-1);
if (pass1.toLowerCase() == "letmein") {
alert('You Got it Right!');
window.open('protectpage.html');
break;
}
testV+=1;
var pass1 =
prompt('Access Denied - Password Incorrect, Please Try Again.','Password');
}
if (pass1.toLowerCase()!="password" & testV ==3)
history.go(-1);
return " ";
}
</SCRIPT>
<CENTER>
<FORM>
<input type="button" value="Enter Protected Area" onClick="passWord()">
</FORM>
</CENTER>


This works but the protected page opens in a new window not in the main frame. What do I have to add and where?
Will search engines pick up this page and display it on the public?

Thank you.

Hi,

I want to restrict opening my popup window if it is already opened. For simple scenario, it is quite possible to do but in my case --

1) When parent page is opening popup window, it is getting refreshed (required from client for some reason).

2) Once submit button is clicked from popup window, again parent page is getting refreshed (again its a requirement from client side).

With these 2 conditions, I lost my saved value from variable and hence new popup is keep coming when the action is same.

Currently I am using below code to open popup

[CODE]
function OpenWindow()
{
if(winPop && !winPop.closed)
{
alert("Popup is already open");
}
else
{
winPop = window.open('MyPopupPage.aspx');
}
}
[CODE]

Please help me to get rid of this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hey All,

I replied in another thread asking about this, but I figured it would be best to have a separate thread for it.

I'm trying to use lightbox (Video Lightbox) to not just open a video when clicking on a thumbnail image, but a mock "page" of several videos, where the main video plays, but there are surrounding thumbnail images that can then also be selected to play in the main player.

Has anyone ever done anything like this? I've seen it done elsewhere, but wasn't sure how to actually implement it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
