Greeting,
I am trying to use local anchor in a web page, but it doesn't work. The local anchor's URL like this:
https://hostname:port/info?newElement=true#a
If I use this URL to load the web page directly, I can see the web page is located in the correct position where the local anchor is. But if I click the hyper link in the web page, nothing happens, though I can see the URL is correct in the footer when I hover mouse on the hyper link.
The web page is not reloaded and the URL in the browser's address box is not changed to the URL with "#a" at end. Is it due to the web page is an active web page?
Below is the code sample:
"form.jsp":
<div>
<div>
<jsp:include page="form-nav.jsp" />
<div>
<jsp:include page="form-location.jsp" />
....
</div>
</div>
</div>
"form-nav.jsp":
<div>
<ul class="tab">
<li>
Name
</li>
....
</ul>
<div>
"form-location.jsp":
<div id="location" class="page">
...
</div>
Thanks,
Zhe
DEMO
Here is an example of how to use the anchor tag.
Anchor syntax:
Link text
Referenced Element:
<div id="someid">You content goes in here</div>
everyone,
by further codes reading, I found the problem now. There is a override of the hyper link's click behavior in a js file:
$("body..... ul.tab li a").on('click', function() {
...
return false;
})
By deleting this override logic, the local anchor works well now. Thanks a lot for your comments!
Hello!!
i have a question and i haven't found any solution for it anywhere...
So, I have a button that link to internal div page (#page2) with a very long list, I need that the internal div page will be "loaded" before the transition will start...
Here is a very simple Sample Code:
<!-- Page #1 -->
<!-- ... -->
<div data-role="content">
<p>View internal page: goto Page 2</p>
</div>
<!-- ... -->
<!-- Start of Page #2 -->
<div data-role="page" id="page2">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Bar</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->
<div data-role="content">
<ul><li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<!-- About 300+ of: <li>...</li> -->
</ul>
</div>
So, Clicking over The link to #page2 should give you jquery mobile "Loading..." And after it "loaded" the content the transition should begin..
The reason Im doing it in the same page it that im inserting to the page#2 div dynamically all facebook friends (Long list), and it take a long time from the Click and until the transition begin...
Here is a nice example of what i need:

Just go to: Live Demo-> Login -> Click Artists...
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thank you very much!!!!
Basically you want to do this:
Use button like this:
goto Page 2
Add a click event to it:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){
$(document).on('click', '#to-page2', function(){
// Load internal page content
});
});
Where #index is an id of your button containing page.
Show loading animation aka ajax loader
setTimeout(function(){
$.mobile.loading('show');
},1);
SetTimeout is needed because web-kit browsers have a problem with dynamically triggered ajax loader.
Load your internal page content. Now if you are using 1 HTML page with multiple pages you can append new content to listview immediately. This is because listview is already loaded into the DOM. If you are using several HTML pages then store your page content into localstorage variable.
Hide ajax loader, again with setTimeout.
Start page transition with:
$.mobile.changePage("#page2");
If you have 1 HTML page then this is it. If you have stored your page content inside a localstorage then you will need to load it during the pagebeforeshow event of a second page, like this:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#page2', function(){
// Load internal page content from local-storage and append it
});
Last step is listview page content initialization. For that look at my other answer, just look for a topic regarding listview.
I am very new to Jquerymobile,html5 and css.Now I am working on jquerymobile project in that i need to display the html code which i am getting from rest service in a page and i am doing by using the following code.
<div data-role="content" style="width:700px">
<div id="html_content">
</div>
</div>
and javascript is
$("#paystub-html").live('pageinit',function(){
$.getJSON(url,function(events){
$(events).each(function(i,item){
$(item.Data).appendTo($("#html_content"));
});
});
});
I can display the html but not fully its not scrolling horizontally.I tried by using overflow tag also but its not solved.
Is there any other way to do that one ? how ?
Thanks in advance.
This situation can be solved with overflow, but you will first need to remove the width from the content to have things handle properly
<div data-role="content">
<div id="html_content" style="overflow-x:scroll">
</div>
</div>
You can test it here
By the way, jQuery mobile standard usage would require you to include your content in a page container.
Is there any way to have multiple distinct HTML pages contained within a single HTML file? For example, suppose I have a website with two pages:
Page 1 : click here for page 2
and
Page 2 : click here for page 1
Can I create a single HTML file that embeds simple static HTML for both pages but only displays one at a time? My actual pages are of course more complicated with images, tables and javascript to expand table rows. I would prefer to avoid too much script code. Thanks!
Well, you could, but you probably just want to have two sets of content in the same page, and switch between them. Example:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function show(shown, hidden) {
document.getElementById(shown).style.display='block';
document.getElementById(hidden).style.display='none';
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Page1">
Content of page 1
Show page 2
</div>
<div id="Page2" style="display:none">
Content of page 2
Show page 1
</div>
</body>
</html>
(Simplified HTML code, should of course have doctype, etc.)
I used the following trick for the same problem. The good thing is it doesn't require any javascript.
CSS:
.body {
margin: 0em;
}
.page {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: -100vw;
overflow-y: auto;
z-index: 0;
background-color: hsl(0,0%,100%);
}
.page:target {
left: 0vw;
z-index: 1;
}
HTML:
<ul>
<li>Click here for page 1</li>
<li>Click here for page 2</li>
</ul>
<div class="page" id="one">
Content of page 1 goes here.
<ul>
<li>Back</li>
<li>Page 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="page" id="two">
Content of page 2 goes here.
<ul style="margin-bottom: 100vh;">
<li>Back</li>
<li>Page 1</li>
</ul>
</div>
See a JSFiddle.
Added advantage: as your url changes along, you can use it to link to specific pages. This is something the method won't let you do.
Hope this helps!
have all the pages in distinct div areas
<div style="" id="page1">
First Page Contents
</div>
<div style="display:none" id="page2">
Second Page Contents
</div>
then use a js script to workout what you are viewing (like within an hashtag style) to navigate. Either that, or ajax to get the response from a specific file (like /pages/page1.html)
var $prehashval = "";
function loop()
{
if (location.hash.slice(1)!=$prehashval)
hashChanged();
$prehashval = location.hash.slice(1);
setTimeout("loop()", 100);
}
function hashChanged()
{
var $output;
switch (location.hash.slice(1))
{
case "page1":
document.getElementById('page1').style.display = "";
document.getElementById('page2').style.display = "none";
break;
case "page2":
document.getElementById('page1').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('page2').style.display = "";
break;
default:
$output = location.hash.slice(1);
}
}
loop();
Have you considered iframes or segregating your content and using a simple show/hide?
Edit If you want to use an iframe, you can have the contents of page1 and page2 in one html file. Then you can decide what to show or hide by reading the location.search property of the iframe. So your code can be like this :
For Page 1 : iframe.src = "mypage.html?show=1"
For Page 2 : iframe.src = "mypage.html?show=2"
Now, when your iframe loads, you can use the location.search.split("=")[1], to get the value of the page number and show the contents accordingly. This is just to show that iframes can also be used but the usage is more complex than the normal show/hide using div structures.
JQuery Mobile has multipage feature. But I am not sure about Desktop Web Applications.
This is kind of overriding the thing of one page, but... You could use iframes in HTML.
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="page1.html" border="0"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
And page1.html would be your base page. Your still making multiple pages, but your browser just doesn't move. So lets say thats your index.html. You have tabs, you click page 2, your url wont change, but the page will. All in iframes. The only thing different, is that you can view the frame source as well.
Screen Rec
You could use Colker, which is built for this, but you'll have to remove the search box, and search feature code, because searching isn't compatible with the type of content you intend to use.
Page contents are stored in a java-script array, and the "page" (eg: ?page=pagename) URL parameter determines which page content to serve.
Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories.
It generates a single html with multiples pages.
Maybe it is not the right tool for you but it could be useful for someone else looking for something similar.
By hiding and showing one another, you can achieve this without embedding it. While Guffa's answer worked quite well, I couldn't figure out how to add more than 2 pages, and while Binz Nakama's answer fixes that, it doesn't quite let you only show Page 1 and toggle between them.
Here's the codepen I made, and here's an example I made from one of my existing websites.
HTML:
<div class="part1">
Page 1 content goes here.
<button onclick="hidePart1()">Go to Page 2</button>
<button onclick="showPart3()">Go to Page 3</button>
</div>
<div class="part2">
Page 2 content goes here.
<button onclick="hidePart2()">Go to Page 1</button>
<button onclick="showPart3()">Go to Page 3</button>
</div>
<div class="part3">
Page 3 content goes here.
<button onclick="hidePart2()">Go to Page 1</button>
<button onclick="hidePart1()">Go to Page 2</button>
</div>
CSS:
.hide {
display: none !important;
}
.show {
display: block !important;
}
.part1 {
display: block;
}
.part2 {
display: none;
}
.part3 {
display: none;
}
JS:
function hidePart1() {
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.add("show");
}
function hidePart2() {
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.add("show");
}
function showPart3() {
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.remove("hide");
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part1").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.remove("hide");
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.remove("show");
document.querySelector(".part2").classList.add("hide");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.remove("hide");
document.querySelector(".part3").classList.add("show");
}
While the code above is probably not quite optimized (especially the JS), it definitely works well for me. I am still quite new to JavaScript, and not very good at it.
Edit: Added part 3 to the code.
Edit: Added example.
It is, in theory, possible using data: scheme URIs and frames, but that is rather a long way from practical.
You can fake it by hiding some content with JS and then revealing it when something is clicked (in the style of tabtastic).
Solution 1
One solution for this, not requiring any JavaScript, is simply to create a single page in which the multiple pages are simply regular content that is separated by a lot of white space. They can be wrapped into div containers, and an inline style sheet can endow them with the margin:
<style>
.subpage { margin-bottom: 2048px; }
</style>
... main page ...
<div class="subpage">
<!-- first one is empty on purpose: just a place holder for margin;
alternative is to use this for the main part of the page also! -->
</div>
<div class="subpage">
</div>
<div class="subpage">
</div>
You get the picture. Each "page" is just a section followed by a whopping amount of vertical space so that the next one doesn't show.
I'm using this trick to add "disambiguation navigation links" into a large document (more than 430 pages long in its letter-sized PDF form), which I would greatly prefer to keep as a single .html file. I emphasize that this is not a web site, but a document.
When the user clicks on a key word hyperlink in the document for which there are multiple possible topics associated with word, the user is taken a small navigation menu presenting several topic choices. This menu appears at top of what looks like a blank browser window, and so effectively looks like a page.
The only clue that the menu isn't a separate page is the state of the browser's vertical scroll bar, which is largely irrelevant in this navigation use case. If the user notices that, and starts scrolling around, the whole ruse is revealed, at which point the user will smile and appreciate not having been required to unpack a .zip file full of little pages and go hunting for the index.html.
Solution 2
It's actually possible to embed a HTML page within HTML. It can be done using the somewhat obscure data: URL in the href attribute. As a simple test, try sticking this somewhere in a HTML page:
blah
In Firefox, I get a "blah" hyperlink, which navigates to a page showing the FOO heading. (Note that I don't have a fully formed HTML page here, just a HTML snippet; it's just a hello-world example).
The downside of this technique is that the entire target page is in the URL, which is stuffed into the browser's address input box.
If it is large, it could run into some issues, perhaps browser-specific; I don't have much experience with it.
Another disadvantage is that the entire HTML has to be properly escaped so that it can appear as the argument of the href attribute. Obviously, it cannot contain a plain double quote character anywhere.
A third disadvantage is that each such link has to replicates the data: material, since it isn't semantically a link at all, but a copy and paste embedding. It's not an attractive solution if the page-to-be-embeddded is large, and there are to be numerous links to it.
going along with #binz-nakama, here's an update on his jsfiddle with a very small amount of javascript. also incoporates this very good article on css navigation
update on the jsfiddle
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("a"))
.map(x => x.addEventListener("click",
function(e){
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("a"))
.map(x => x.classList.remove("active"));
e.target.classList.add("active");
}
));
Let's say you have multiple pages, with id #page1 #page2 and #page3. #page1 is the ID of your start page. The first thing you want to do is to redirect to your start page each time the webpage is loading. You do this with javascript:
document.location.hash = "#page1";
Then the next thing you want to do is place some links in your document to the different pages, like for example:
Click here to get to page 2.
Then, lastly, you'd want to make sure that only the active page, or target-page is visible, and all other pages stay hidden. You do this with the following declarations in the <style> element:
<style>
#page1 {display:none}
#page1:target {display:block}
#page2 {display:none}
#page2:target {display:block}
#page3 {display:none}
#page3:target {display:block}
</style>
An example that actually uses two separate HTML files. The example is based on this tutorial from Tutorial Republic.
app.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#screen").load("page1.html")
$(document).on("click", '#page1_button', function(event) {
$("#screen").load("page2.html")
});
$(document).on("click", '#page2_button', function(event) {
$("#screen").load("page1.html")
});
});
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="eng">
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="screen"></div>
<!-- Import JQuery -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Import main JS -->
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
page1.html
<div>Welcome to page one</div>
<button id="page1_button" type="button">Go to page 2</button>
page2.html
<div>Welcome to page two</div>
<button id="page2_button" type="button">Go to page 1</button>
Important: Page one and page two should only have the body content, i.e., without <body> and <HTML> tags.
In case the container should span over the whole page (taken from this StackOverflow answer):
stycle.css
#screen
{
position:fixed;
padding:0;
margin:0;
top:0;
left:0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
<html>
<head>
<script>
function show(shown, hidden) {
document.getElementById(shown).style.display='block';
document.getElementById(hidden).style.display='none';
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Show page 1
Show page 2
<div id="Page1">
Content of page 1
</div>
<div id="Page2" style="display:none">
Content of page 2
</div>
</body>
</html>
There are two links in html document, which i want to open with in same page(not window) but one link content should appear at a time?
<body>
Numbers
Data
<div id="show"> </div>
</body>
Using jQuery it becomes as simple as using one method called load.. to make it elegant first add class to your links, e.g.
<a class="loader" href="numbers.html">Numbers</a>
<a class="loader" href="data.html">Data</a>
Then include jQuery and have such code to achieve what you need:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".loader").each(function(index) {
$(this).click(function() {
$("#show").load($(this).attr("href"));
return false;
});
});
});
This will load the HTML contents into the show div, replacing any previous contents.
what about you have an event on each link to switch between two divs, hide one and show the other. so it could be:
<div onclick="Show(numbers.html)"> Numbers</div>
<div onclick="Show(data.html)"> Data</div>
and in Show() JS function you have and show the wanted div.
