I can not trace when a html element has been generated - html

There are two elements(table and header) that I can not see when they have been generated in my code.I checked all the .js files, all the templates but there is nothing 'suspicious'.Can you tell me how could I trace the moment when the element has been generated and eventualy from which file?
I used the Fiddler2 to see the order that the things are being loaded and I can see all the .js files and .css files, I checked them all but nothing.

Sure - go to your dev tools, go to the console, and run something like this:
$("body").bind("DOMSubtreeModified", function() { debugger; });
You can monkey with the selector (also assumed jQuery was available) to get it down to the specific item you want. That should give you a stack trace as well.
Let us know if this works!

visual studio code React does not recognize html

as you see, the HTML content is not colorful, and it cannot autocomplete HTML tag
There are 2 ways to do that.
1) You could manually set the syntax to "Javascript React".
For that click on "Javascript" on the bottom right of your screen:
Then simply enter "react" and select it. After that you should have autocomplete for the html parts inside your render functions.
2) You can instruct VSCode to always open .js files as "javascriptreact". For that go to your settings and copy files.associations over to your local settings. Make sure it looks something like this and save:
"files.associations": {
"*.js": "javascriptreact"
}
Note on that one: This will always set the syntax to "javascriptreact" when you open .js files and might not always be what you want. A better solution would be to generally name react files as myfile.jsx. This way vscode will automatically set the syntax to "javascriptreact".
Hope this helps.
Save the file as .jsx ie (App.jsx) instead of .js
This is because you are saving the file as .js ie App.js.JavaScript files cannot understand HTML tags.
Another alternative is you can save in (.js) but your web pack should be configured in such a way that it should transpile it into .jsx.
For doing refer this - https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app
React understand javascript xml only.

how to add Json config to particle js

I've installed particle.js in my project and it works with the default effect, I have gone through this site http://vincentgarreau.com and found 5 effects: default, snow, NASA, Buddle and Nyan cat. My question is how can I use those effects in my project? I choose one and I downloaded the JSON config but I don't know how to add it to my project.
You just need to load the json file. The syntax would be something like this
<script>
particlesJS.load('particles-js', 'particles.json', function(){
console.log('particles.json loaded...');
});
</script>
Write the appropriate path if these files are located elsewhere. The 'particles.json' file will be your config file you downloaded from somewhere. You can even edit the particles.json file yourself to get your desired result.
This video by Traversy media is a great reference if you wish to dig deep into particle js and create your own desired effects.
Good luck!

chrome-extension:// links open about:blank

I've recently been contributing to the Enhanced Steam extension and I've found that a link fetched with chrome.extension.getURL simply opens about:blank and not the link described.
I do not believe it's actually a problem with the extension, but rather a problem in chrome. The link it supplies is valid (chrome-extension://pimjhgjngccknempdnehdeaihcjbajod/options.html) and navigating directly works correctly.
I tried chrome.tabs.create, but found that I am not allowed to use it due to the script modifying pre-existing content.
Any help or work arounds would be appreciated.
I put all my required files into "web_accessible_resources", it solved my problem. See this in #4 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=310870#c4
It is Chrome's previous problem which is not secure. In build 31.0.1650.57, Chrome fixed this which is to force to put required files in "web_accessible_resources". In Chrome extension, lots of samples don't use "web_accessible_resources", those are the bugs, those samples will have this "chrome-extension:// links open about:blank" problem in build 31.0.1650.57.
Actually my chrome extension MarkView was facing this issue and I had to update its manifest.json to make it work for this Chrome update. By the way, MarkView is tool to read and write Awesome Markdown Files, it provides features including Content Outline, Sortable Tables and code block syntax highlight with line number.
Looks like a bug in Chrome to me. If you don't have too many pages like this to change then could you try using message passing to pass the page you want to open to the background page? Then use either window.open or chrome.tabs.create within the background page. Example code shown below:
//CONTENT SCRIPT
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({greeting: "OpenPage", filename:"somepage.html", querystring:"?aValue="+someVal}, function(response) {});
Then in your Background page
//BACKGROUND PAGE
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
if (request.greeting == "OpenPage"){
open_page(request.filename, request.querystring)
}
});
function open_page(filename, querystring){
var pageUrl = chrome.extension.getURL(filename)+querystring;
chrome.tabs.create({'url': pageUrl }, function(tab) {
// Tab opened.
});
}

Ajax URL broken

I have an javascript setinterval which runs every 2 minutes to get latest feeds. However, this only work on the index page. The script is in a js file which I included in the main layout page of the site. What could be the cause? I know it has to do with the path, because when I check on Net tab in Firebug, the path is wrong. However, the file is included in the main layout, and every page has it(the layout).
Dont know if it will help, but my script is:
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(myfx, my_time);
}
myfx(){
ajax({ url: "mypage", ..)};
}
I think the path is relative to the 'folder' that the user is currently in on the site,.. which is what is causing problems. Thanks
The problem is that your URL is relative, which means the target that you're querying changes as you change pages. I.e. if you're at http://website.com/ then mypage is http://website.com/mypage, but if you're at http://website.com/help/details then mypage is at http://website.com/help/mypage, which probably doesn't exist.
The fix is to make your url absolute (start it with '/', e.g. /mypage) so that it always points to the same location.

CodeIgniter + jQuery(ajax) + HTML5 pushstate: How can I make a clean navigation with real URLs?

I'm currently trying to build a new website, nothing special, nice and small, but I'm stuck at the very beginning.
My problems are clean URLs and page navigation. I want to do it "the right way".
What I would like to have:
I use CodeIgniter to get clean URLs like
"www.example.com/hello/world"
jQuery helps me using ajax, so I can
.load() additional content
Now I want to use HTML5 features like pushstate to
get rid of the # in the URL
It should be possible to go back and forth without a page refresh but the page will still display the right content according to the current URL.
It should also be possible to reload a page without getting a 404 error. The site should exist thanks to CodeIgniter. (there is a controller and a view)
For example:
A very basic website. Two links, called "foo" and "bar" and a emtpy div box beneath them.
The basic URL is example.com
When you click on "foo" the URL changes to "example.com/foo" without reloading and the div box gets new content with jQuery .load(). The same goes for the other link, just of course different content and URL.
After clicking "foo" and then "bar" the back button will bring me back to "example.com/foo" with the according content. If I load this link directly or refresh the page, it will look the same. No 404 error or something.
Just think about this page and tell me how you would do this.
I would really love to have this kind of navigation and so I tried several things.
So far...
I know how to use CodeIgniter to get the URLs like this. I know how to use jQuery to load additional content and while I don't fully understand the html5 pushstate stuff, I at least got it to work somehow.
But I can't get it to work all together.
My code right now is a mess, that's the reason I don't really want to post it here. I looked at different tutorials and copy pasted some code together. Would be better to upload my CI folder I guess.
Some of the tutorials I looked at:
Dive into HTML5
HTML5 demos
Mozilla manipulating the browser history
Saner HTML5 history
Github: History.js
(max. number of links reached :/)
I think my main problem is, that everybody tries to make it compatible with all browsers and different versions, adds scripts/jQuery plugins and whatnot and I get confused by all the additional code. There is more code between my script-tags then actual html content.
Could somebody post the most basic method how to use HTML5 for my example page?
My failed attemp:
On my test page, when I go back, the URL changes, but the div box will still show the same content, not the old one. I also don't know how to change the URL in the script according to the href attribute from the link. Is there something like $(this).attr('href'), that changes according to which link I click? Right now I would have to use a script for every link, which of course is bad.
When I refresh the site, CodeIgniter kicks in and loads the view, but really only the view by itself, the one I loaded with ajax, not the whole page. But I guess that should be easy to fix with a layout and the right controller settings. Haven't paid much attention to this yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.
If you have suggestions, ideas, or simple just want to mention something, please let me know.

I've put up a successful minimal example of HTML5 history here: http://cairo140.github.com/html5-history-example/one.html
The easiest way to get into HTML5 pushstate in my opinion is to ignore the framework for a while and use the most simplistic state transition possible: a wholesale replacement of the <body> and <title> elements. Outside of those elements, the rest of the markup is probably just boilerplate, although if it varies (e.g., if you change the class on HTML in the backend), you can adapt that.
What a dynamic backend like CI does is essentially fake the existence of data at particular locations (identified by the URL) by generating it dynamically on the fly. We can abstract away from the effect of the framework by literally creating the resources and putting them in locations through which your web server (Apache, probably) will simply identify them and feed them on through. We'll have a very simple file system structure relative to the domain root:
/one.html
/two.html
/assets/application.js
Those are the only three files we're working with.
Here's the code for the two HTML files. If you're at the level when you're dealing with HTML5 features, you should be able to understand the markup, but if I didn't make something clear, just leave a comment, and I'll walk you through it:
one.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="assets/application.js"></script>
<title>One</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>One</h1>
Two
</div>
</body>
</html>
two.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="assets/application.js"></script>
<title>Two</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Two</h1>
One
</div>
</body>
</html>
You'll notice that if you load one.html through your browser, you can click on the link to two.html, which will load and display a new page. And from two.html, you can do the same back to one.html. Cool.
Now, for the history part:
assets/application.js
$(function(){
var replacePage = function(url) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'get',
dataType: 'html',
success: function(data){
var dom = $(data);
var title = dom.filter('title').text();
var html = dom.filter('.container').html();
$('title').text(title);
$('.container').html(html);
}
});
}
$('a').live('click', function(e){
history.pushState(null, null, this.href);
replacePage(this.href);
e.preventDefault();
});
$(window).bind('popstate', function(){
replacePage(location.pathname);
});
});
How it works
I define replacePage within the jQuery ready callback to do some straightforward loading of the URL in the argument and to replace the contents of the title and .container elements with those retrieved remotely.
The live call means that any link clicked on the page will trigger the callback, and the callback pushes the state to the href in the link and calls replacePage. It also uses e.preventDefault to prevent the link from being processed the normal way.
Finally, there's a popstate event that fires when a user uses browser-based page navigation (back, forward). We bind a simple callback to that event. Of note is that I couldn't get the version on the Dive Into HTML page to work for some reason in FF for Mac. No clue why.
How to extend it
This extremely basic example can more or less be transplanted onto any site because it does a very uncreative transition: HTML replacement. I suggest you can use this as a foundation and transition into more creative transitions. One example of what you could do would be to emulate what Github does with the directory navigation in its repositories. It's an intermediate manoever that requires floats and overflow management. You could start with a simpler transition like appending the .container in the loaded page to the DOM and then animating the old container to {height: 0}.
Addressing your specific "For example"
You're on the right track for using HTML5 history, but you need to clarify your idea of exactly what /foo and /bar will contain. Basically, you're going to have three pages: /, /foo, and /bar. / will have an empty container div. /foo will be identical to / except in that container div has some foo content in it. /bar will be identical to /foo except in that the container div has some bar content in it. Now, the question comes to how you would extract the contents of the container through Javascript. Assuming that your /foo body tag looked something like this:
<body>
foo
bar
<div class="container">foo</div>
</body>
Then you would extract it from the response data through var html = $(data).filter('.container').html() and then put it back into the parent page through $('.container').html(html). You use filter instead of the much more reasonable find because from some wacky reason, jQuery's DOM parser produces a jQuery object containing every child of the head and every child of the body elements instead of just a jQuery object wrapping the html element. I don't know why.
The rest is just adapting this back into the "vanilla" version above. If you are stuck at any particular stage, let me know, and I can guide you better though it.
Code
https://github.com/cairo140/html5-history-example
Try this in your controller:
if (!$this->input->is_ajax_request())
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('your_view', $data);
if (!$this->input->is_ajax_request())
$this->load->view('footer');
