Reload page out of iframe

Image
By User



I'm using Fancybox and Zend. Hope the following is clear.





On www.example.com/template/edit/id/3 I have jQuery UI Tabs. They are reachable directly via anchors. E.g. www.example.com/template/edit/id/3#tabs-2





On #tabs-2 I have some elements, doesn't matter what it is exactly. You can create or edit them. This elements got a own controller, so for editing them you call /elements/edit/id/44. Currently, I'm doing that in a Layer with Fancybox. I'm using the Iframe functionality of Fancybox for that.





So, if you are on /template/edit and you click on the edit button of an element, a layer opens which includes an iframe which loads /elements/edit.





So, if you change the element now and click on save, i want the layer to automatically close and reload.





Fancybox provides an option to specify what it should do when it gets closed. At the moment i got it like that:







'onClosed'          :  function() {window.location.reload();}







This actually reloads the top window and not the iframe. Also, there's a possibility to close Fancybox via JS. I'm doing that by setting a View Variable which triggers this, e.g:







<?php if($this->close): ?>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    parent.$.fancybox.close();

    </script>

<?php endif ?>







So, if the saving was successfully I set $this->view->close = true and the layer gets clsoed which triggers my JS.





This works fine. My Problem now is to do the reloading with having #tabs-2 in my url.





Of course i could get the urls, clean it up from other anchors the user my typed in etc. and build my url which i set to the window's location, but somehow i think, there must be an easier solution.





E.g. setting the url of the browser to #tabs-2 without reloading, but this also sounds not very nice. The reloading is easy but having the anchor there is quite tricky.

    window.location.href = "#tabs-2"


    Maybe:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.$.fancybox.close();
    window.location.href = "#tabs-2" //Add the anchor, won't stack. Will replace existing anchor
    window.location.reload() //Refresh the screen, maintain anchor
    </script>

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
