I'm having problem on the page I'm working with, I'm trying to set a permalink with an id so that if the page is fully loaded, it would show the page and it focuses on the element with the ID as its top of the page. But the scenario here, after the focus goes to the ID, eventually the view goes to the top of the page.
The page view should go to the heading that says "Care facilities with rest home and hospital level care"

What could a quick fix. Not familiar with the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Like Evan Knowles said you need to add names to your anchors for the browser to be able to browse there.
Replace
<a id="trigger-sa" href="http://metlifecare.staging.wpengine.com/living-at- metlifecare/metlifecare.staging.wpengine.com/living-at-metlifecare/assisted-living#care-facility"></a>
with
<a id="trigger-sa" name="care-facility" href="http://metlifecare.staging.wpengine.com/living-at-metlifecare/metlifecare.staging.wpengine.com/living-at-metlifecare/assisted-living#care-facility"></a>
I see what you are referring to as the 'jump to the top'. It looks like this piece of code make the entire page block and then jumps to the top
<script type="text/javascript">
html2canvas(document.body, {
onrendered: function(canvas) {
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
}
});
</script>
Removing that code stop the jump and makes the #care-facility work correctly.
I have never worked with html2canvas, so I can't comment on what it is doing.

I have a page with a few anchors. When a user clicks an anchor, the anchors work, and user is taken to the correct location.
If a user tries to refresh the page, it retains the anchor ID in the URL window and so naturally, when refreshing, it does not go back to the top of the page.
I think it would be more user friendly to go back to the top of the page on a refresh.
How would I achieve this?
My page currently is primarily using bootstrap, css, jquery, javascript, and php.
I think I need to set up some code so that after clicking the anchor, it removes the anchor from the url window, so that if someone refreshes, they'd be refreshing just the initial page state without an anchor, but I don't know how to begin. Or maybe I'm over thinking this and there's some way to always go to top of page on a refresh regardless of anchors or not. I'm not too code savvy.
Right now my code is like this...
An example of one of my anchors:
<a class="hoverlink" href="#firefighter"><li style="float:left; margin-right:1em; color:white; background-color:red" class="appao-btn nav-btn">Fire Fighter</li></a>
One of the elements for example that the anchor will jump to:
<div style="min-height:10px;" name="firefighter" id="firefighter" class="anchor"><p style="min-height: 10px;"> </p></div>
CSS style on my anchors:
.anchor:target { height:200px; display: block; margin-top:-2em; visibility: hidden;}
Actual Results With My Code: Page Refresh Stays At Anchor Location
Desired Results: Page Refresh Goes To Top Of Page
After some searching, I found a solution that almost works for me:
<script>
window.onbeforeunload = function () {
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}
</script>
But it creates a flickering effect that doesn't look the best such as my example site at
https://graceindustries.com/gracetest/Grace%20Industries%20Website%20Design%202019%20Alternate%20Version/documentation.html
Anyone know how to remove the "flicker"?
You can try this (with the .some-anchor is the class for all a tag that points to some destinations within the page).
$('.some-anchor').click(function() {
var target = $(this).attr("href");
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("" + target).offset().top
}, 1000);
return false;
});
The "return false;" or preventDefault() event method will prevent the page from flickering. As I observed this does not make the # to the URL so refreshing is not a problem.

Navigating to page content using URL Fragments (#someLink) in anchor tags is a core part of the HTML specification. The standard implementation in most (if not all) web browsers is to add the fragment to the address bar. The fragment is part of the URL and therefore, when the page is refreshed the browser scrolls to the element with that ID. Most users will be familiar with this behaviour, even if they don't understand how or why it works like that. For this reason, I'd recommend not working around this behaviour.
However, if it is absolutely necessary, the only way to achieve the result you're looking for is to not use URL fragments for navigation and use JavaScript instead, therefore not putting the fragment in the URL in the first place. It looks like the Element.scrollIntoView() method might do what you're looking for. Rather than having
Click me
you'd use
<a onclick="document.getElementById('element1').scrollIntoView();">Click me</a>
or even better, implement this in an external JS file. If you experience issues due to the element not having the href attribute, you could always add an empty fragment href="#".
You can remove the id from the url right after the user click on the anchor tag
history.scrollRestoration = "manual" will set the scroll to the top of the page on refresh
<a onclick="removeAnchorFormURL()" href="#sec-2">here</a>
<script>
history.scrollRestoration = "manual";
const removeAnchorFormURL = () => {
setTimeout(() => {
window.history.replaceState({}, "", window.location.href.split("#")[0]);
}, 100);
};
</script>

I am writing a suite of automated UI tests. I have a set of tests that verifies the links in a navbar work correctly, they take an annoying long time because it's loading 2 pages per test and there are many links in the nav bar. I am wondering if it is necessary to actually click the links?
One of the links would look like this, they're all basically the same, all contained inside a list of of <li> elements:
<a href="/projects/7d9162e5-e59c-452e-b9f5-684a2e0f2924/home" data-reactid=".0.2.0.0.0.$0.0">
<span class="icon icon-home" data-reactid=".0.2.0.0.0.$0.0.0"></span>
<span class="label" data-reactid=".0.2.0.0.0.$0.0.1">Home</span>
</a>
I could grab the content from the href attribute and request the page programmatically (don't load it in the browser) to assert that the href is correct and this would be significantly faster.
Is there any chance that an element could have an href attribute that points to the page as expected, but for whatever reason clicking on this element could be broken?
This might be the solution that you are looking for:
Link to Page
That code would append the href attribute as text to the body every time a link was clicked but not actually go to that link. The return false; part of that code prevents the browser from performing the default action for that link. That exact thing could be written like this:
$("a").click(function(e) {
$("body").append($(this).attr("href"));
e.preventDefault();
}
By taking the href content, you might risk that your automation passes test even though the navbar link does not work. It could be that navbar link was disabled by mistake, but as the link is still present in the DOM your automation will not capture it.
Just my 10 cents...
How can I create a link that doesn't show its information at the bottom left or right (this depends on the link's position) when you hovering a hyperlink?
Lets say that we have a link like this:
Users
and we want to hide its information or more precisely its hyperlink information that's displayed at the bottom left corner of the browser, like the example on the image below:
Now, I know this is possible because Stack Exchange network sites itself uses this for the "Welcome Banner" displayed on the front page for the very first time you visit each site.
If you hover any of the links:
Anybody can ask a question
Anybody can answer
The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You'll see that no hyperlink information is displayed. Check out image below to see "Welcome Banner"
It cannot be done with pure html and css. You would have to use javascript for this. Showing the link of an anchor tag is just how most browsers work. Also the user expects to be able to see where he will be redirected.
But it can be done: you can avoid using an anchor tag. Then have another attribute hold the href - like "data-href". Then bind a click event on the a tag that redirects based on this attribute.
I would however, not do this - as I am uncertain if crawlers would see the link.
This is how it can be done, but note that snippets cannot redirect outside SO :)
var aTags = document.querySelectorAll('span[data-href]');
for(var i = 0; i < aTags.length; i++){
var aTag = aTags[i];
aTag.addEventListener('click', function(e){
var ele = e.target;
window.location.replace(ele.getAttribute('data-href'));
});
}
span[data-href]{
cursor:pointer;
}
<span data-href="http://www.google.com">test</span>
After digging even more deeper, I've found a more simpler and easier solution for it on this w3schools article and also with the help of this question in SO I could manage it to open on a new window:
<button id="anchorID" >Go to page</button>
$("#anchorID").click(function() {
window.open(
'http://www.w3schools.com',
'_blank' // <- This makes it open in a new window.
);
});
Jsfiddle live example: http://jsfiddle.net/6sLzghhm/
Remove the href="whatever" from the link and open link by calling a function. This completely removes the link preview on the bottom left of the page.
HTML-
<a (click)="openUrl('https://google.com')">
JS-
openUrl(url: string): void {
window.open(url, '_blank');
}
The stackoverflows Anybody can ask a question-Link is not a hyperlink. Its a HTML Element (in this case a li-Element):
<li id="q">Anybody can ask a question
</li>
with the CSS cursor: pointer; and a click-Eventlistener.
The easiest answer is just use-
<p onclick="window.open('Your Link')">Blah Blah Blah</p>
Easy!
You can also open more links at a time-
HTML:
<p onclick="OpenTwoLinks()">Google And StackOverFlow</p>
Javascript:
function OpenTwoLinks() {
window.open('https://google.com');
window.open('https://stackoverflow.com');
}
I have a code that is formatted like this:
<div id = "test" class = "invisible">
<!--I want to hide this!-->
%%GLOBAL_ProductDescription%%
</div>
<script type = "text/javascript">
//Takes the info within the div above and manipulates some information
var desc = $('#test').html();
//Put edits to new_desc
$(document).ready(function() {
document.getElementById("info").innerHTML = new_desc;
});
</script>
<div class = "stuff" id = "product">
<a id = "info"><!--receive info from script here--></a>
</div>
The code works properly in terms of the last div displaying the information and formatting that I want to have. The problem now is: the page is displaying the original information plus the edited one in the bottom. Whenever I try to hide the first div, everything else goes away!
I would manipulate the data by just assigning the contents of the global variable into my Javascript variable but that it sort of out of the picture right now. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong and why hiding this one div completely gets rid of all the other information in the page?
Note: When I type some gibberish at the beginning of the code, it shows even though there's a display:none. If I put it anywhere below that line, it does not show either.
The content changes per product. There may have been some divs in there that weren't closed properly and that's why it's pushing the latter part of the code somewhere inside %%GLOBAL_ProductDesc%%. I did not know it could behave like that so I overlooked that part in my check.
I can't really go ahead and bulk edit about 4000 products such that the HTML in there is correct so I inserted 4 s before the start of the script and everything looks good. I know this may not be the most robust answer to the question but it works for now. Thanks for all the help!
Using mootools.js 1.3.2 and mootools-more.js
As far as I can tell this is supposed to reveal the div and also hide the content and linkTab divs at the same time.
$('blogLink').addEvent('click', function(){
$('homeLink').removeClass('active');
$('linkTab').removeClass('active');
$('blogLink').addClass('active');
content.slideOut();
linkTab.slideOut();
blogLink.slideIn();
});
This is the HTML
Blog
<div id="blogContent">
content here
</div>
It all works properly and that's OK but in addition to this, I also want to be able to give people a URL like http://mysite.com/#blogLink and have that blogContent div opened. When I do that now, it takes me to the top of the page and the blogContent div is hidden.
How do I do achieve that? I did try adding the mootools-smoothscroll.js and using the method outlined here http://davidwalsh.name/smooth-scroll-mootools but that just broke the entire page - would not load properly.
I have zero experience with mootools and weak on Javascript so please excuse me if I take a while to 'get' what you're trying to explain.
Many thanks.
First, are you particularly attached to MooTools? If you're a JavaScript newbie, jQuery is probably easier to use and definitely has a larger support community. But I'll post a solution that should work in MooTools for now:
If I understand you correctly, what you want to achieve is the following:
The anonymous function you posted will run when "Blog" is clicked
The function will also run if someone visits the page with #blogLink in the URL.
That's not too difficult to achieve:
// Once the DOM has loaded - so that our elements are definitely available
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
// Check for #blogLink hashtag, and reveal blog
if(window.location.hash == 'blogLink') { revealBlog(); }
// Make sure blog is revealed when link is clicked
$('blogLink').addEvent('click', revealBlog);
});
function revealBlog() {
$('homeLink').removeClass('active');
$('linkTab').removeClass('active');
$('blogLink').addClass('active');
content.slideOut();
linkTab.slideOut();
blogLink.slideIn();
}
You could also change your link mark-up to:
Blog
To make sure they're always on the correct link when the blog is revealed.
