Setting the id of a link based on it"s href





$('.portfolioThumbs ul li a').mouseover(

function(){

var buttLink = $(this).attr('href')

var buttLinkArray = buttLink.split( '/' ); // Split the URL after each / and Create an array of each

var pFN = buttLinkArray[2]; // We want the Portfolio Folder Name

var url = window.location.pathname;



$('.galleryNav ul li a').removeClass('hovered');

$('.galleryNav ul li a' + '#' + pFN).addClass('hovered');

window.location.pathname = url + '#' + pFN;

}

);







This code allows me to set an ID on each button based on its href when the user "mouseover's" it. Does anyone know how this can be done automatically when the page loads, so that each button in the list gets and ID based on it's href, without any user interaction.





Thanks,





Dan

  1. Iterate through all links on page load. If you are using jQuery 1.7+ then use prop to set the href attribute. Otherwise use attr.

    $('.portfolioThumbs ul li a').each(
    function(){
    var buttLink = $(this).attr('href') //do you really want attr or do you want prop?
    var buttLinkArray = buttLink.split( '/' ); // Split the URL after each / and Create an array of each
    var pFN = buttLinkArray[2]; // We want the Portfolio Folder Name
    var url = window.location.pathname;
    $(this).prop('href', url);
    }
    );

  2. You can run code after the document loads:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    // your code here
    });

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

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()...
