Partial Page Refresh
Refresh certain elements of a page using jQuery after a set amount of time, can be used with any element with an ID. I amended the example given with the URL to only refresh once and not intermittently. Works in all browsers.
$('#button1').click(function() {
var url = "http:www.your-url.com?ID=" + Math.random(); //create random number
setTimeout(function() {
$("#elementName").load(url+" #elementName>*","");
}, 1000); //wait one second to run function
});
nice stuff,
Thanks guys.
I have a quick question about this one, since after you do this the DOM treats the refreshed elements as new elements. Since my JS is in separate files how would I reselect the elements in my other script?
As a basic example lets say I have a lightbox script for the image links within the refreshed element. That script won’t fire after I refresh them. This is because it doesn’t have the ‘new’ elements selected.
Is there a good way to reselect these for that lightbox script? Would restating the lightbox call within this function do the trick?
Take a look at the jQuery .live() and .die() functions. They handle most of your AJAX refresh woes.
