Load new page without clicking on an <a href> (using IUI)

[Zoltán]

Hi!

I'm using iui.js, works fine, but I have a little problem.
Now my page contains links, the links are sliding fine, but I need a
better solution.

I want to use this instead of <a href>s:

<select id="biz" onChange="loadThisPage(this)">
<option value="sel.php?id=1">First</option>
<option value="sel.php?id=2">Second</option>
</select>

I have the value of the new page, I can alert() it :), I can put into
an <a> elements href, but I don't know how to tell to this iui
framework to slide it. :(

Please, help me!

Thanks,
Z.

Normally, if you put a onChange="window.location(this.value)" in the select, this should work

Try using iui.showPageByHref(this.value, null, "GET", false, null)

That should load your page fragment via ajax and then perform the slide.

Sean, thank you very much, it works! :)

Remi, your solution does not work, if I do that, the page won't slide,
but opens it outside the framework.

Thanks for the posts!

This could work also, just a target value to change i think.
btw, happy for you if it works :-)
url ?

Changing window.location will only work if the desired page fragment has
already been loaded and can be referenced with an anchor. Although, in
this case, it would probably be better to call iui.showPageById(pageId)
because it will take effect immediately, whereas when you set the
location you have to wait up to 300ms for the interval timer to fire and
call checkOrientAndLocation().
