The navBar function works smoothly. However, there seems to be an issue with applying a similar approach to another class and div, resulting in redirection to error.html upon clicking the projectbutton class. The JavaScript code does not seem to recognize/handle the class onclick, causing the unsupported href type to trigger a redirect to error.html. It is unclear what might be incorrect within the code structure.

Answer №1

greetings!

Within your HTML code, the

<a href="projectnew" class="projectbutton">
link element has an href attribute that redirects to a non-existent page "www.yourdomain.com/projectnew", leading you to an error page...


To address this issue, it is recommended to utilize preventDefault to halt any unwanted actions by the link element.

    $('a.projectbutton').click(function(event)  {
        event.preventDefault();
        var page = $(this).attr('href');
        $('#content').fadeOut(400);
        setTimeout(function(){$('#content').load('views/' + page + '.html')}, 400);
        $('#content').fadeIn(400);
        return false;
    });

Although untested, this solution should resolve the problem.

For more information on preventDefault, visit: https://api.jquery.com/event.preventdefault/


Alternatively,

To address the core issue of the href attributes in your link elements, consider removing them altogether;

<a href="#" title="home" id="blacktext">Home</a>

Utilize the title attribute as a specifier in your JavaScript;

$('a.projectbutton').click(function()   {
    var page = $(this).attr('title'); //changed this into title.
    $('#content').fadeOut(400);
    setTimeout(function(){$('#content').load('views/' + page + '.html')}, 400);
    $('#content').fadeIn(400);
    return false;
});
