Need help with javascript code

mark1ra · 07-23-2012, 06:52 PM

Problem is in website url names, that are generated automaticaly.
1. www.mywebsite.com
2. www.mywebsite.com/wallpapers/show/...
3. www.mywebsite.com/wallpapers/browse_by_size/...
4. www.mywebsite.com/categories/show/...

I need to hide div section only in one type of pages (2 in the list).
So there is the code that I need help with:

Code:

<script type = "text/javascript">
function showMyDiv() {
var url = window.location.href; 
if (/(wallpapers)/i.test(url)) { // the word appears in the url
document.getElementById("hide").style.display="none";
}
else {
document.getElementById("hide").style.display="block";
}
}
</script>

I assume (since you did not provide it) that you are running "showMyDiv()" on page load?

If you do it as you show, then the <div> will appear briefly and then get hidden.

Wouldn't it be better to *START* with it hidden and then only show it if the URL does *not* contain "wallpaper"??

If so, it's easy:

Code:

<html>
<body>
...
<div id="hide" style="display: none;">....</div>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
if (! /wallpapers/i.test(location.href) ) { 
    document.getElementById("hide").style.display="block";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

As I said I have problem with urls, so as you can see 2 and 3 have the same word in it:
1. www.mywebsite.com
2. www.mywebsite.com/wallpapers/show/...
3. www.mywebsite.com/wallpapers/browse_by_size/...
4. www.mywebsite.com/categories/show/...
PROBLEM: I need to show DIV only in 2-url, which leads to wallpaper, while 3-url leads to wallpaper category.

Code:

if (/(wallpapers\/show)/i.test(url)) { // the words appears in the url

Do please read the posting guidelines regarding silly thread titles. The thread title is supposed to help people who have a similar problem in future. Yours is useless for this purpose. Everyone posting here wants help with his Javascript code. You can (and should) edit it to make it more meaningful.
