I'm trying to make AJAX pages using the post from Tutorialzine.
This script makes pages appear using AJAX. The problem is that the script works with numbers, example: http://example.com/#page1
, http://example.com/#page2
etc..
How to make this script so it doesn't need the #page1
or #page2
in the URL, but #home
etc..
Sorry if I explained this wrong, English isn't my native language and it's hard for me to explain.
index.html
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="#page1">Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#page2">Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#page3">Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#page4">Page 4</a></li>
<li><img id="loading" src="img/ajax_load.gif" alt="loading" /></li>
</ul>
<div id="pageContent"></div>
script.js
var default_content="";
$(document).ready(function(){
checkURL();
$('ul li a').click(function (e){
checkURL(this.hash);
});
//filling in the default content
default_content = $('#pageContent').html();
setInterval("checkURL()",250);
});
var lasturl="";
function checkURL(hash)
{
if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash;
if(hash != lasturl)
{
lasturl=hash;
// FIX - if we've used the history buttons to return to the homepage,
// fill the pageContent with the default_content
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);
$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
}
}
});
}
load_page.php
<?php
if(!$_POST['page']) die("0");
$page = (int)$_POST['page'];
if(file_exists('pages/page_'.$page.'.html'))
echo file_get_contents('pages/page_'.$page.'.html');
else echo 'There is no such page!';
?>
