I want to create common header and footer pages that are included on several html pages.
I'd like to use javascript. Is there a way to do this using only html and JavaScript?
I want to load a header and footer page within another html page.
You can accomplish this with jquery.
Place this code in index.html
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"
integrity="sha256-2Kok7MbOyxpgUVvAk/HJ2jigOSYS2auK4Pfzbm7uH60="
crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#header").load("header.html");
$("#footer").load("footer.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<!--Remaining section-->
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
and put this code in header.html and footer.html, at the same location as index.html
click here for google
Now, when you visit index.html, you should be able to click the link tags.
I add common parts as header and footer using Server Side Includes. No HTML and no JavaScript is needed. Instead, the webserver automatically adds the included code before doing anything else.
Just add the following line where you want to include your file:
<!--#include file="include_head.html" -->
Must you use html file structure with JavaScript? Have you considered using PHP instead so that you can use simple PHP include object?
If you convert the file names of your .html pages to .php - then at the top of each of your .php pages you can use one line of code to include the content from your header.php
<?php include('header.php'); ?>
Do the same in the footer of each page to include the content from your footer.php file
<?php include('footer.php'); ?>
No JavaScript / Jquery or additional included files required.
NB You could also convert your .html files to .php files using the following in your .htaccess file
# re-write html to php
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# re-write no extension to .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
You could also put: (load_essentials.js:)
document.getElementById("myHead").innerHTML =
"<span id='headerText'>Title</span>"
+ "<span id='headerSubtext'>Subtitle</span>";
document.getElementById("myNav").innerHTML =
"<ul id='navLinks'>"
+ "<li><a href='index.html'>Home</a></li>"
+ "<li><a href='about.html'>About</a>"
+ "<li><a href='donate.html'>Donate</a></li>"
+ "</ul>";
document.getElementById("myFooter").innerHTML =
"<p id='copyright'>Copyright © " + new Date().getFullYear() + " You. All"
+ " rights reserved.</p>"
+ "<p id='credits'>Layout by You</p>"
+ "<p id='contact'><a href='mailto:you#you.com'>Contact Us</a> / "
+ "<a href='mailto:you#you.com'>Report a problem.</a></p>";
<!--HTML-->
<header id="myHead"></header>
<nav id="myNav"></nav>
Content
<footer id="myFooter"></footer>
<script src="load_essentials.js"></script>
I tried this:
Create a file header.html like
<!-- Meta -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<!-- JS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
<title>Your application</title>
Now include header.html in your HTML pages like:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ></script>
<script>
$(function(){ $("head").load("header.html") });
</script>
</head>
Works perfectly fine.
I've been working in C#/Razor and since I don't have IIS setup on my home laptop I looked for a javascript solution to load in views while creating static markup for our project.
I stumbled upon a website explaining methods of "ditching jquery," it demonstrates a method on the site does exactly what you're after in plain Jane javascript (reference link at the bottom of post). Be sure to investigate any security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues if you intend to use this in production. I am not, so I never looked into it myself.
JS Function
var getURL = function (url, success, error) {
if (!window.XMLHttpRequest) return;
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState === 4) {
if (request.status !== 200) {
if (error && typeof error === 'function') {
error(request.responseText, request);
}
return;
}
if (success && typeof success === 'function') {
success(request.responseText, request);
}
}
};
request.open('GET', url);
request.send();
};
Get the content
getURL(
'/views/header.html',
function (data) {
var el = document.createElement(el);
el.innerHTML = data;
var fetch = el.querySelector('#new-header');
var embed = document.querySelector('#header');
if (!fetch || !embed) return;
embed.innerHTML = fetch.innerHTML;
}
);
index.html
<!-- This element will be replaced with #new-header -->
<div id="header"></div>
views/header.html
<!-- This element will replace #header -->
<header id="new-header"></header>
The source is not my own, I'm merely referencing it as it's a good vanilla javascript solution to the OP. Original code lives here: http://gomakethings.com/ditching-jquery#get-html-from-another-page
The question asks about using only HTML and JavaScript. The problem is that a second request to the server using JavaScript or even jQuery (requesting the extra header.html "later") is:
Slow!
So, this is unacceptable in a production environment. The way to go is to include only one .js file and serve your HTML template using only this .js file. So, in your HTML you can have:
<script defer src="header.js"></script>
<header id="app-header"></header>
And then, in your header.js put your template. Use backticks for this HTML string:
let appHeader = `
<nav>
/*navigation or other html content here*/
</nav>
`;
document.getElementById("app-header").innerHTML = appHeader;
This has also the benefit, that you can change the content of your template dynamically if you need! (If you want your code clean, my recommendation is not to include any other code in this header.js file.)
Explanation about speed
In the HTTP/2 world, the web server "undestands" what additional files (.css, .js, etc) should be sent along with a specific .html, and sends them altogether in the initial response. But, if in your "original" .html you do not have this header.html file imported (because you intend to call it later with a script), it won't be sent initially. So, when your JavaScript/jQuery requests it (this will happen much later, when HTML and your JavaScript will get "interpreted"), your browser will send a second request to the server, wait for the answer, and then do its stuff... That's why this is slow. You can validate this, using any browser's developer tools, watching the header.html coming much later.
So, as a general advice (there are a lot of exceptions of course), import all your additional files in your original .html (or php) file if you care about speed. Use defer if needed. Do not import any files later using JavaScript.
I think, answers to this question are too old... currently some desktop and mobile browsers support HTML Templates for doing this.
I've built a little example:
Tested OK in Chrome 61.0, Opera 48.0, Opera Neon 1.0, Android Browser 6.0, Chrome Mobile 61.0 and Adblocker Browser 54.0
Tested KO in Safari 10.1, Firefox 56.0, Edge 38.14 and IE 11

Aloha from 2018. Unfortunately, I don't have anything cool or futuristic to share with you.
I did however want to point out to those who have commented that the jQuery load() method isn't working in the present are probably trying to use the method with local files without running a local web server. Doing so will throw the above mentioned "cross origin" error, which specifies that cross origin requests such as that made by the load method are only supported for protocol schemes like http, data, or https. (I'm assuming that you're not making an actual cross-origin request, i.e the header.html file is actually on the same domain as the page you're requesting it from)
So, if the accepted answer above isn't working for you, please make sure you're running a web server. The quickest and simplest way to do that if you're in a rush (and using a Mac, which has Python pre-installed) would be to spin up a simple Python http server. You can see how easy it is to do that here.
I hope this helps!
It is also possible to load scripts and links into the header.
I'll be adding it one of the examples above...
<!--load_essentials.js-->
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />');
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />');
document.write('<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>');
document.getElementById("myHead").innerHTML =
"<span id='headerText'>Title</span>"
+ "<span id='headerSubtext'>Subtitle</span>";
document.getElementById("myNav").innerHTML =
"<ul id='navLinks'>"
+ "<li><a href='index.html'>Home</a></li>"
+ "<li><a href='about.html'>About</a>"
+ "<li><a href='donate.html'>Donate</a></li>"
+ "</ul>";
document.getElementById("myFooter").innerHTML =
"<p id='copyright'>Copyright © " + new Date().getFullYear() + " You. All"
+ " rights reserved.</p>"
+ "<p id='credits'>Layout by You</p>"
+ "<p id='contact'><a href='mailto:you#you.com'>Contact Us</a> / "
+ "<a href='mailto:you#you.com'>Report a problem.</a></p>";
<!--HTML-->
<header id="myHead"></header>
<nav id="myNav"></nav>
Content
<footer id="myFooter"></footer>
<script src="load_essentials.js"></script>
For a quick setup with plain javascript and because not answered yet, you could also use a .js file to store your redundant pieces (templates) of HTML inside a variable and insert it through innerHTML.
backticks are here the make it easy part this answer is about.
(you will also want to follow the link on that backticks SO Q/A if you read & test that answer).
example for a navbar that remains the same on each page :
<nav role="navigation">
<img src="image.png" alt="Home"/>
<a href="/about.html" >About</a>
<a href="/services.html" >Services</a>
<a href="/pricing.html" >Pricing</a>
<a href="/contact.html" >Contact Us</a>
</nav>
You can keep inside your HTMl :
<nav role="navigation"></nav>
and set inside nav.js file the content of <nav> as a variable in between backticks:
const nav= `
<img src="image.png" alt="Home"/>
<a href="/about.html" >About</a>
<a href="/services.html" >Services</a>
<a href="/pricing.html" >Pricing</a>
<a href="/contact.html" >Contact Us</a>
` ;
Now you have a small file from which you can retrieve a variable containing HTML. It looks very similar to include.php and can easily be updated without messing it up (what's inside the backticks).
You can now link that file like any other javascript file and innerHTML the var nav inside <nav role="navigation"></nav> via
let barnav = document.querySelector('nav[role="navigation"]');
barnav.innerHTML = nav;
If you add or remove pages, you only have to update once nav.js
basic HTML page can be :
// code standing inside nav.js for easy edit
const nav = `
<img src="image.png" alt="Home"/>
<a href="/about.html" >About</a>
<a href="/services.html" >Services</a>
<a href="/pricing.html" >Pricing</a>
<a href="/contact.html" >Contact Us</a>
`;
nav[role="navigation"] {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Home</title>
<!-- update title if not home page -->
<meta name="description" content=" HTML5 ">
<meta name="author" content="MasterOfMyComputer">
<script src="nav.js"></script>
<!-- load an html template through a variable -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css?v=1.0">
</head>
<body>
<nav role="navigation">
<!-- it will be loaded here -->
</nav>
<h1>Home</h1>
<!-- update h1 if not home page -->
<script>
// this part can also be part of nav.js
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
let barnav = document.querySelector('nav[role="navigation"]');
barnav.innerHTML = nav;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
This quick example works & can be copy/paste then edited to change variable names and variable HTML content.
another approach made available since this question was first asked is to use reactrb-express (see http://reactrb.org) This will let you script in ruby on the client side, replacing your html code with react components written in ruby.
Use ajax
main.js
fetch("./includes/header.html")
.then(response => {
return response.text();
})
.then(data => {
document.querySelector("header").innerHTML = data;
});
fetch("./includes/footer.html")
.then(response => {
return response.text();
})
.then(data => {
document.querySelector("footer").innerHTML = data;
});
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Liks</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<header></header>
<main></main>
<footer></footer>
<script src="/js/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
You can use object tag of HTML with out use of JavaScript.
<object data="header.html" type="text/html" height="auto"></object>
Credits : W3 Schools How to Include HTML
Save the HTML you want to include in an .html file:
Content.html
Google Maps<br>
Animated Buttons<br>
Modal Boxes<br>
Animations<br>
Progress Bars<br>
Hover Dropdowns<br>
Click Dropdowns<br>
Responsive Tables<br>
Include the HTML
Including HTML is done by using a w3-include-html attribute:
Example
<div w3-include-html="content.html"></div>
Add the JavaScript
HTML includes are done by JavaScript.
<script>
function includeHTML() {
var z, i, elmnt, file, xhttp;
/*loop through a collection of all HTML elements:*/
z = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (i = 0; i < z.length; i++) {
elmnt = z[i];
/*search for elements with a certain atrribute:*/
file = elmnt.getAttribute("w3-include-html");
if (file) {
/*make an HTTP request using the attribute value as the file name:*/
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
if (this.status == 200) {elmnt.innerHTML = this.responseText;}
if (this.status == 404) {elmnt.innerHTML = "Page not found.";}
/*remove the attribute, and call this function once more:*/
elmnt.removeAttribute("w3-include-html");
includeHTML();
}
}
xhttp.open("GET", file, true);
xhttp.send();
/*exit the function:*/
return;
}
}
}
</script>
Call includeHTML() at the bottom of the page:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script>
function includeHTML() {
var z, i, elmnt, file, xhttp;
/*loop through a collection of all HTML elements:*/
z = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (i = 0; i < z.length; i++) {
elmnt = z[i];
/*search for elements with a certain atrribute:*/
file = elmnt.getAttribute("w3-include-html");
if (file) {
/*make an HTTP request using the attribute value as the file name:*/
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
if (this.status == 200) {elmnt.innerHTML = this.responseText;}
if (this.status == 404) {elmnt.innerHTML = "Page not found.";}
/*remove the attribute, and call this function once more:*/
elmnt.removeAttribute("w3-include-html");
includeHTML();
}
}
xhttp.open("GET", file, true);
xhttp.send();
/*exit the function:*/
return;
}
}
};
</script>
<body>
<div w3-include-html="h1.html"></div>
<div w3-include-html="content.html"></div>
<script>
includeHTML();
</script>
</body>
</html>

DISCLAIMER: I'm a complete newbie to programming. I've my experiences with editing code through trial and error, but I do not have any real knowledge.
I'm looking to build a website from scratch. How do I make it so that I don't have to paste the same header/footer code to every page? I'd assume that there is a designated file for the header/footer; on the pages which I want to include the header/footer, I would have to include a line of code to call it?
Also found this similar question/topic/thread: Use same header and footer on all webpages
if you are looking to do it using just Html there is no possible way, but you can use JavaScript inside your html to create a custom attribute which will include your html files. You can read more about it here - template tag examples
This is not the best solution for this, I won't personally recommend you to do this as you are a beginner.
This might be overwhelming at first but you don't need to understand or learn it right now. For a quick example -
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Test File</title>
</head>
<body>
<div include-your-html = "header.html">
<!--Cosidering I have header.html file in the same directory-->
<p>This is my body</p>
<div include-your-html = "footer.html">
<!--Cosidering I have footer.html file in the same directory-->
<!--You can use this script to set the attribute-->
<script>
function includeHTML() {
var z, i, elmnt, file, xhttp;
z = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (i = 0; i < z.length; i++) {
elmnt = z[i];
file = elmnt.getAttribute("include-your-html");
if (file) {
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
if (this.status == 200) {elmnt.innerHTML = this.responseText;}
if (this.status == 404) {elmnt.innerHTML = "Page not found.";}
elmnt.removeAttribute("include-your-html");
includeHTML();
}
}
xhttp.open("GET", file, true);
xhttp.send();
return;
}
}
}
includeHTML()
</script>
</body>
</html>
For some of the people this may be blocked due to CORS policy, you can set up a CORS proxy to get around this. More detailed information at sideshowbarker's answer here
I'd like to use a style sheet from Wikipedia. For that, I'm fetching this style sheet. When trying to
pass the url fetched using ajax to the head of my html document, the url retrieved behave unexpectedly.
First, I simply try to use the url as it is fetched :
var stylesheetElem = doc.querySelector('head link[rel="stylesheet"]');
Here is the full code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- testing purpose file, used for trying to print a correctly formatted wikipedia page -->
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title> game setup </title> <!-- Titre de l'onglet -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"> </script>
</head>
<body style="background-color:white;">
<div class='container'>
<h1 id="title">MiniWiki</h1>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
<script>
function loadPage() {
"use strict";
var url, doc;
console.log("IN LOADPAGE")
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org:443/api/rest_v1/page/html/' + 'Ancient_Egypt';
// fetch the article data
return $.ajax(url).then(function (data) {
doc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
// Use mediawiki content stylesheet
var stylesheetElem = doc.querySelector('head link[rel="stylesheet"]');
console.log("SHOW stylesheetElem");
console.log(stylesheetElem);
$('head').append(stylesheetElem);
//Update content
var contentElem = document.getElementById('content');
var $content = $(contentElem).empty();
Array.from(doc.body.attributes).forEach(function (attr) {
$content.attr(attr.name, attr.value);
});
$content.append(Array.from(doc.body.children));
});
}
loadPage();
</script>
In this case, the url fetched is
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/w/load.php?lang=en&modulening.con...%7Cext.cite.styles&only=styles&skin=vector">
I was expecting that it would also include https://en.wikipedia.org/ at the beginning of the url like this :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?lang=en&modulening.con...%7Cext.cite.styles&only=styles&skin=vector">
Since it dit not, I thought I could add it myself by simply adding this line of code just
before the line
console.log("SHOW stylesheetElem");
stylesheetElem.href = "http://en.wikipedia.org" + stylesheetElem.href
when printing the stylesheetElem url, this unexpectedly returns the following url :
http://en.wikipedia.orgfile//en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?...kin=vector
What happened here ? Why didn't I get the following correct url ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?...kin=vector
The dots (...) indicate that the developer tools have left out part of the url. You copy that instead of the real url, which you can see when you do "View Page Source":
/w/load.php?lang=en&modules=ext.uls.interlanguage%7Cext.visualEditor.desktopArticleTarget.noscript%7Cext.wikimediaBadges%7Cskins.vector.styles.legacy&only=styles&skin=vector
My website has the same navigation menu throughout, instead to rewriting the HTML code for every page, can I link to a second HTML file (that contains the nav HTML code) like you would with CSS? Or will that create problems?
Simple way would be to put the header part in a separate html file.
Now load this file in html code using jQuery load function like
$("#headerDiv").load("header.html")
Know that, this will require web server because load function sends a request to server.
Check out the code sample:
demo.html
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#headerDiv").load("header.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="headerDiv"></div>
<!-- Rest of the code -->
</body>
</html>
header.html
<div >
<a>something</a>
<a>something</a>
</div>
That is called HTML includes, and YES, it is possible
<div w3-include-HTML="content.html">My HTML include will go here.</div>
<script>
(function () {
myHTMLInclude();
function myHTMLInclude() {
var z, i, a, file, xhttp;
z = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (i = 0; i < z.length; i++) {
if (z[i].getAttribute("w3-include-html")) {
a = z[i].cloneNode(false);
file = z[i].getAttribute("w3-include-html");
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
a.removeAttribute("w3-include-html");
a.innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
z[i].parentNode.replaceChild(a, z[i]);
myHTMLInclude();
}
}
xhttp.open("GET", file, true);
xhttp.send();
return;
}
}
}
})();
</script>
NOTES
HTML doesn't have a simple include mechanism (except for frames like iframe, which have side effects).
A better solution would be to use Server-Side includes, which is the preferred way of adding common parts to your document, on the server, of course.
for an HTML solution -since you have no other tags in your question- there is HTML imports:
<link rel="import" href="nav.html">
But this new -working draft- and it doesn't have good browser support.
Resources:
W3C - imports
MDN - HTML Imports
caniuse - HTML Imports
webcomponents.org - introduction to html imports
html5rocks - imports
W3schools has an include. They also have there own CSS as a side note. Put the callup in footer (wherever)
<script src="vendor/w3js.min.js"></script>
<script src="w3.includeHTML();"></script>
And then on page:
<header class="header navbar-fixed-top">
<nav id="inc_nav" w3-include-html="nav.html"></nav>
</header>
<section id="inc_header" w3-include-html="header.html"></section>
<div id="content" tabindex="-1"></div>
I have file named a.html with this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">

(function () {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = '//ilostatic.one.com/iloapp/gallery/js/init.js?' + (new Date).getTime();
document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(script);

Need some help here.
If you are using Jquery you can do the following:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#includedContent").load("b.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="includedContent"></div>
</body>
</html>
If you are looking to do raw Javascript DOM then you can do the following:
function loadDoc() {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
}

You could include an HTML code from another file without scripting using SSI (Sever
Side Includes).
Just name your file with .shtml extension and write something like at the place you want to include your file (e.g. index.html):
<!--#include virtual="/galerie/index.html" -->
Usually SSI works in .shtml files by default without any configuration.
Web server will work up .shtml file, looks for SSI directives inside it and process them.
I've succesfull integrated galerie in script. :) Thanks all guys for youre tips. I've used iframe . Finaly worked
Sorry for my English, I am a new to jquery mobile and only have basic knowledge about javascript languages in general; I was playing around with a single page website mobile ( I usually use Dreamweaver CS6) and I reached a good result with photoswipe and everything was good since I had just few images. I have added a lot of them so now I would get the images' link dynamically.
In short, I want to start from a folder on my ftp and read all images file within it and create the <li> items for each one. Can I make this job with jquery mobile or should I use a language like php or .Net
I have read some examples around here and on google but they didn't help me a lot, like this one, I am sure it could be an answer for me in it but I don't know how to start
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#DirectoryReader
Here some code I'm using:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.2/jquery.mobile-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<!-- Librerie PhotoSwipe -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../PhotoSwipe/photoswipe.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../PhotoSwipe/styles.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../PhotoSwipe/klass.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../PhotoSwipe/code.photoswipe-3.0.5.min.js"></script>
<!-- End PhotoSwipe -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){ var myPhotoSwipe = $("#Gallery a").photoSwipe({ enableMouseWheel: false , enableKeyboard: false, captionAndToolbarAutoHideDelay: 0 }); });
</script>
Then my page
<div data-role="page" id="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Title of my Page</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<ul id="Gallery" class="gallery">
<li>
<a href="../Images/img04.jpg">
<img src="../Images/img04.jpg" alt=""></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
When i land on this page everything works fine. Shall I use something like this?
That I took from this website, can I use JSON to accede to my ftp folder and than cycle the content?
Should I put this in a function? If yes who is going to call it?
$("#Photos").live("pagebeforeshow", function(){
$("ul#PhotoList").children().remove('li');
var tag = MyTag
$.getJSON("https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/" + tag + "/media/recent?callback=?&client_id=####",
function(data){
$.each(data.data, function(i,item){
$("ul#PhotoList").append('<li><img src="' + item.images.low_resolution.url + '" alt="' + item.caption.text + '" width="200" /></li>');
});
});
var photoSwipeInstance = $("ul#PhotoList a").photoSwipe();
});
Any help is appriciated, thank you in advance, I am sure my issue here is my limited knowledge.
You should use pageinit and pagebeforeshow Instead of $(document).ready. Also .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live(). http://api.jquery.com/live/
Append list Items:
$("#PhotoList").append('<li><a href="..
When you finish refresh the list to display your new list:
$('#PhotoList').listview('refresh');
Update:
I use php programs on my server in order to retrieve json strings. Something like this...
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET","http://192.168.100.2/sr/quotelisttest?name="+s,true);
xhr.send("");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4){
alert(xhr.readyState);
alert(xhr.responseText);
var v = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
