jQuery Question

[Archadian28]

I have a dropdown submenu in the nav bar of my website...when i click on one of them it works fine. When im on the same page as where those links point to they dont seem to work correctly. ex: if i am anywhere else on the website except the portfolio page the links work fine, but when im running the portfolio.php script and i try to click any of the links it just takes me back to the home part of the portfolio page. I will have to post my web address because even im confused about what i just said lol. its imaginationunleash3d .com/new/

 

jQuery was used to make the slide down divs for the submenu

 

just trying to figure out a way to make all links work whether they are for that particular page or not. Its giving me a headache XD.

 

I forgot to mention that im using jQuery .tab() plugin. When i click the link i want it to open that particular tab, which it does, unless im on the page already.

Is your portfolio page in a different folder? If so, might set your links to use absolute paths instead of relative.

no its all in the same one

get rid of that 'New site design...' script you have running. It's very very annoying. Thereafter we can take a look at what's going on.

Can anyone help with this? I mainly want everything after the ? taken out of the URL once the page is visited. I think the link would work then. Its nothing serious but i want everything to work. Thanks.

Why do you have the "?" within the link? Is that required by the javascript you are using? Most javascript tab scripts that I know of only use something like page.html#hash.

[Archadian28]

Good question. I guess im used to php URL strings lol. I took it out but still not doing what i want it to do :/.

[falkencreative]

I've played around with this a little, and my best guess is that maybe it's an issue with the tab script itself. This issue doesn't seem to occur when Javascript is turned off, though I'm not sure how much that actually means. I'm assuming you don't have anything PHP related on the page that messes with the URL?

[Archadian28]

No, im using the plugin from http://jqueryui.com. The tab plugin. There is code you can use to select tabs using jquery but im not too sure how to implement that 100% lol.

[Archadian28]

I have been searching for the past 2 days on how to make this work. If anyone can point me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if I can help you any more with this. I'm not seeing any reason this should occur. If this were me, either I would figure out some alternatives that didn't use the tab functionality, or switch to a different tab script and see if that makes any difference.

Is it possible to pass PHP through jQuery? or a value of a variable in PHP to jQuery?

[falkencreative]

I'm not completely sure what you have in mind, but you could pass in a variable in the URL using $_GET[] and then echo out that variable within a <script> block in the page. Definitely escape any variables passed in through the URL though.

I just disabled the submenu when ur on the page. ex: If you are on the portfolio page the submenu will be hidden for the Portfolio navigation with this:

 

$("ul.portfolio li").hide();

 

That works for me, i just didn't want it to seem like i had broken links
