Help me make a jquery AJAXed divs' links work like an iframe.
- by Dave
I want to make a few divs on the same page work similar to iframes. Each will load a URL which contains links. When you click on those links I want an AJAX request to go out and replace the div's html with new html from the page of the clicked link. It will be very similar to surfing a page inside an iframe.
Here is my code to initially load the divs (this code works):
onload:
$.ajax({
url: "http://www.foo.com/videos.php",
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$("#HowToVideos").replaceWith(html);
}
});
$.ajax({
url: "http://www.foo.com/projects.php",
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$("#HowToProjects").replaceWith(html);
}
});
This is a sample of code that I'm not quite sure how to implement but explains the concept. Could I get some help with some selectors(surround in ?'s) and or let me know what is the correct way of doing this? I also want to display a loading icon, which I need to know where the right place to place the function is.
$(".ajaxarea a").click(function(){
var linksURL = this.href; //
var ParentingAjaxArea = $(this).closest(".ajaxarea");;
$.ajax({
url: linksURL,
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$(ParentingAjaxArea).replaceWith(html);
}
});
return false;
});
$(".ajaxarea").ajaxStart(function(){
// show loading icon
});
