How to load only the body content from some static html page via Ajax.
// main.js
(function($){
/**
For example:
You might load pages for each links on your menu.
Eg.
<ul>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#services">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
**/
var url;
$('#mymenu a').click(function(e){
// Prevent the open link
e.preventDefault();
// Retrieve the link value and replace hash mark
url = $(this).attr('href').replace('#', '');
// Sets the correct page
load_page( url + '.html' );
});
// The body content logic.
function body_content_logic() {
// Here your stuff for body content loaded data.
}
// Load some body content on any page.
function load_page(url) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
dataType: 'text',
type: 'get',
success: function(str,b,xhr){
// Retrieve the title text (if you want)
var title = str.match(/<(title)>[\s\S]*?<\/\1>/gi)[0].replace('<title>', '').replace('</title>', '');
// Retrieve the body content
str = str.match(/<(body)>[\s\S]*?<\/\1>/gi);
str = str[0].replace('<body>','').replace('</body>', '');
// Pay attention here:
// All code here in this example is saved in my case at "main.js" path.
// So, you need remove this script (or scripts) from your page "before" you embed the body content
// for avoid duplicity code on the fly.
str = str.replace('<script src="main.js"></script>', '');
// Ok, now replace html body content on the current page.
$('body').empty().html(str);
// Change history page url (if you want)
window.history.pushState({}, title, url);
// Change the page's title (if you want)
document.title = title;
// Finally, call the method again for repeat the cycle
body_content_logic();
}
});
}
// Apply your logic for current body content
body_content_logic();
