i keep on getting 'There is no such page!' message anytime i try to use the buttons to change the content.
Here is the index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<h2>You make difference.</h2>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="#forum">Forum</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#register">Register</a></li>
<li><a href="#login" target=pageContent>Login</a></li>
<li><img id="loading" src="img/ajax_load.gif" alt="loading" /></li>
</ul>

<div class="clear"></div>

<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="pageContent">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div></div>
<div align="center" class="#footer">eWorld</div>
</body>
</html>
The script.js:
var default_content="";
$(document).ready(function(){
checkURL();
$('ul li a').click(function (e){
checkURL(this.hash);
});
default_content = $('#pageContent').html();
setInterval("checkURL()",250);
});
var lasturl="";
function checkURL(hash)
{
if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash;
if(hash != lasturl)
{
lasturl=hash;
if(hash=="")
$('#pageContent').html(default_content);
else
loadPage(hash);
}
}
function loadPage(url)
{
url=url.replace('#page','');
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_page.php",
data: 'page='+url,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0)
{
$('#pageContent').html(msg);
$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
}
}
});
}
Also, the load_page.php:
<?php
if(!$_POST['page']) die("0");
$page = $_POST['page'];
$newstr = str_replace("#","", $page);
if (!file_exists('pages/'.$newstr.'.html'))
echo file_get_contents('pages/'.$newstr.'.html');
else echo 'There is no such page!';
?>
It seems like the script is working fine, but somehow it couldn't get into the directory of new pages (which is /pages/forum.html ; /pages/login.html and so on). Would be grateful if somebody could show me where have I made the mistake... :)
You are trying to get .hash of DOM element:
$('ul li a').click(function (e){
checkURL(this.hash);
Instead get the href attribute:
checkURL(this.attr("href"));
.hash only works on URL object
Also, this first use of checkURL(); after documentReady should be throwing errors as it does not match the method definition
The solving was as both Auris and Pointy explained. First of all, getting the href atribute made resolved errors in console with processing. Also !file_exists meant, as Pointy said, "if the file does not exist". Everything working perfectly right now, thanks for support!
