I wonder if someone can guide me on how to remove the url label that appears at the bottom of the page when you hover over an anchor (I wonder if it's even posible). I've googled a lot and didn't find any answers.
Suppose I have
<a href="www.somepage.com" title="The Page">Link< /a>
in the bottom of the page there will appear a tooltip/label showing "www.somepage.com".
Please see here for an example
Thanks in advance!
You can use either Javascript or JQuery.
For example, you can set to A attribute "href=#" and add an attribute url=www.somepage.com something like this:
Link
If you click over this nothing happen.
Now, you need to apply with javascript or JQuery click event. The next example is using JQuery and Javascript:
At the bottom of page's body:
<script>
$('#link').click(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('url');
window.location.href=url;
});
</script>

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.
Other helpful answer: jQuery flicker when using animate-scrollTo
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>

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 want to know how in this web site, when I hover the mouse over report ad of the page, it show the link as ....com/***/***#report-item, but when I click on it, it shows me a pop-up. but still the original URL is not changing to ....com/***/***#report-item?
I checked the source of the page, and it shows the link code as:
<span><i class='ico-report'></i>Report Ad</span>.
That is because they prevent the browser from doing what it is meant to do (default event).
Here is the JavaScript code for that:
event.preventDefault();
You can include that inside the element, something like
Link
And inside the function, add that code. It would prevent the default function; that is to change the URL.
Maybe they're using jQuery for that because I can't see any sort of onclick="" inside the element. So what they might be doing would be this:
Generate Report
and the jQuery code would be as:
$('a.report').click(function () {
event.preventDefault(); // prevent the default function of the hyperlink
/* show the pop up */
});
This way, the website is preventing the default function and is using that link to do some other function.
Here is a fiddle for that: http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/3zPd6/
To get the Elements Attribute
To get the element's attribute in JavaScript you use the following code
document.getElementById("hyperlinkId").href;
This would get you the href of the hyperlink. And you can reference it in your call.
I tried to find the solution but can't. I need a custom image for Pinterest (Pin It) button and pin some custom image by url but not a current page.
I created a custom link:
Pin It
in style I set the background image but I see only default Pin It button and not my custom button
There are some solutions where you can set custom button image for Pin It button but I can't change the media={ImageURL} in those solutions.
The popular solution is
<a href='javascript:void((function()%7Bvar%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)%7D)());'><img src='http://www.brandaiddesignco.com/blog/PinIt.png'/></a>
But it doesn't help me. Does any one know the solution?
Indeed the popular solution by Jeremy Mansfield at www.brandaiddesignco.com has a great method to customize the Pinterest button any way you want!
I've made three examples, in the form of jsFiddle's, so you can see how it's done using that method.

Adding an encoded whitespace before the last fragment of the URL will prevent Pinterest's JS from "hijacking" the link:
//pinterest.com/pin/create/%20button?url=
Update:
It seems that my previous solution doesn't work anymore. Here is another one:
//pinterest.com/pin/create%2Fbutton/?url=
At the risk of over simplifying things, use your 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=' path that you've already got, set up your variables, and append them as you do, and just don't include any pinterest javascript. Without that js, it won't find the link and replace it out with their own pinterest button. Just customize your link with an image inside it (or set a background image or whatever) and screw the pinterest js. Set the target to open in a new window.
Custom Link/Button looks like this:
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11312923/custom-pinterest-button-for-custom-url-text-link-image-or-both" data-image="http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sstatic.net%2Fstackexchange%2Fimg%2Flogos%2Fso%2Fso-logo.png" data-desc="Custom Pinterest button for custom URL (Text-Link, Image, or Both)" class="btnPinIt">
Custom Pin it image or text here!
</a>
Note: I don't think the data attributes need to be encoded (like I did for data-image) but it doesn't seem to hurt it.
JQuery:
$('.btnPinIt').click(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
var media = $(this).attr('data-image');
var desc = $(this).attr('data-desc');
window.open("//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"+
"?url="+url+
"&media="+media+
"&description="+desc,"_blank");
return false;
});
Here is what worked for me :
<img src="../img/custompinint.png" />
The attribute data-pin-custom is what I picked up from Pinterest documentation.
Hope this helps.
After a bit of trial and error, below is what worked for me. This response is a combination of #rharvey's response thread and another stack overflow post. This solution opens up a pop up to share content via pinterest.
Note: In order to prevent 2 windows from popping up you need to set a target. Below is the full solution:
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11312923/custom-pinterest-button-for-custom-url-text-link-image-or-both" data-image="http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sstatic.net%2Fstackexchange%2Fimg%2Flogos%2Fso%2Fso-logo.png" data-desc="Custom Pinterest button for custom URL (Text-Link, Image, or Both)" class="btnPinIt" target= "pinIt">
Custom Pin it image or text here!
</a>
<script>
$('.btnPinIt').click(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
var media = $(this).attr('data-image');
var desc = $(this).attr('data-desc');
window.open("//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"+
"?url="+url+
"&media="+media+
"&description="+desc,"pinIt","toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, top=0, right=0, width=750, height=320");
return false;
});
</script>
Works for me perfectly.
Your script
<script>
function pinIt()
{
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');
e.setAttribute('src','https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);
document.body.appendChild(e);
}
</script>
Call it with
Pin
I was wondering if anyone knew how, when on link submit the page does not move i.e
If it was 2 page lengths down it would shoot up to the top.
If you have attached event to HTML control through jQuery then you can use return false like
$("#myDiv").delegate("tr", "click", function() {
enter code here
return false;
});
No need to replace anchors, as your own answer to the question states.
This will work just as well:
<a href="#" onclick="yourOwnSubmitFunction(); return false;">
In short, just make sure that whatever function is in the onClick handler returns boolean false.
Whilst having the link's onclick handler return false; is the correct way to stop a link being followed, it's a bit of a hack to use a link this way, because what you've got is an action and not a link. You can't do the usual link-like things to your link, like right-click-bookmark, or middle-click-for-new-tab and so on, so it shouldn't really have that affordance.
An alternative (that eg. SO uses) is to put the onclick on a non-link element instead, eg.:
<span id="potato">Do something</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('potato').onclick= function() {
// do something
};
</script>
This is cleaner, but has a drawback in is that the link can't be focused and activated by the usual keyboard tabbing method.
Arguably better is to use an <input type="button"> or <button type="button">, which are the right markup to represent an action. Of course these look quite different, but you can use CSS to style them so that they look like a link instead of a button if you like. The one drawback of this method is that good old silly IE cannot completely restyle a button; you will get a few pixels of unremovable extra padding in this browser.
If you are using .net 2.0
There is a
MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback
property in #page directive that you can use to maintain the scroll position of the page.
Gets or sets a value indicating
whether to return the user to the same
position in the client browser after
postback. This property replaces the
obsolete SmartNavigation property.
When Web pages are posted back to the
server, the user is returned to the
top of the page. On long Web pages,
this means that the user has to scroll
the page back to the last position on
the page.
When the
MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback()()()
property is set to true, the user is
instead returned to the last position
on the page.
If you can't use this then set location.href to an anchor tag at the specified position after the submit.
location.href = "#anchAtPos";
where anchAtPos is the id of the anchor tag at a specified position.
I solved this using:
function anchorReplace()
{
$("#reportWrapper a").each(function(i){
var anchorElement = $(this);
var newAnchorElement = $('<a href="#link' + i + '" name="#link' + i + '">'
+ anchorElement.text() + '</a>').insertBefore(anchorElement);
anchorElement.remove();
});
}
I've fixed this before by putting
onclick='return false;'
Inside the link
<a href="#" onclick='return false;' id='attachAlistenertothisID'>This link doesn't jump to the top!</a>
I use this for my links that have click listeners attached them via jQuery.
Hope this helps someone!
