Hi,
I will try to explain better :)
I basically have a website where the main menu links are loaded by an ajax call to dynamically load the target page in a container div. I have the +/- same functionality as this site from your examples:
http://www.go-mono.com/ . Only the part below the main menu is loaded each time on clicks on a link from the main menu.
My Forum.html page contains:
<body>
The Democracy Monkey Discussion<script src="http://n2.nabble.com/embed/f1464914"></script></body>
I have some ajax code that is called from this part of my index.html and should load Forum.html in the <div id="content">:
<li>
Forum</li>
The ajax is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
var bustcachevar=1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
var loadedobjects=""
var rootdomain=""
var bustcacheparameter=""
function ajaxpage(url, containerid){
var page_request = false
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
page_request = new XMLHttpRequest()
else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
try {
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){
try{
page_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){}
}
}
else
return false
page_request.onreadystatechange=function(){
loadpage(page_request, containerid)
}
if (bustcachevar) //if bust caching of external page
bustcacheparameter=(url.indexOf("?")!=-1)? "&"+new Date().getTime() : "?"+new Date().getTime()
page_request.open('GET', url+bustcacheparameter, true)
page_request.send(null)
}
function loadpage(page_request, containerid){
if (page_request.readyState == 4 && (page_request.status==200 || window.location.href.indexOf("http")==-1))
document.getElementById(containerid).innerHTML=page_request.responseText
}
function loadobjs(){
if (!document.getElementById)
return
for (i=0; i<arguments.length; i++){
var file=arguments[i]
var fileref=""
if (loadedobjects.indexOf(file)==-1){ //Check to see if this object has not already been added to page before proceeding
if (file.indexOf(".js")!=-1){ //If object is a js file
fileref=document.createElement('script')
fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
fileref.setAttribute("src", file);
}
else if (file.indexOf(".css")!=-1){ //If object is a css file
fileref=document.createElement("link")
fileref.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
fileref.setAttribute("href", file);
}
}
if (fileref!=""){
document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(fileref)
loadedobjects+=file+" " //Remember this object as being already added to page
}
}
}
</script>
Maybe this is the wrong way to do things with nabble. It's rather late and I should have solved this by now, tiredness kills. What I ideally want to know is the functionality used by the example sites to dynamically load the embedded forum....... (i.e. put it in a div container like in go-mono without just displaying the link and without reloading the whole page)
thanks in advance
