JavaScript functioning exclusively for specific list items within an unordered list

After implementing JavaScript on my website, I noticed that it only works when clicking on certain list items (li's) and not on others. Specifically, the functionalities for Specialties, Contact Us, and Referral Schemes are not working correctly.

Even after modifying scripts.js, the issue remains unresolved.

Answer №1

Tim made a valid point, however, it is important to note that the three functions mentioned are not being called at all.

Within scripts.js, there are links set up to trigger gotoSpecialities, gotoContactUs, and gotoReferral upon clicking. Yet, there exists two functions with the same names in the exact scope - ultimately causing the latter definition to overwrite the former. Thus, for gotoReferral, the following function will be executed:

function gotoReferral() {
    $('#pointer').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(1091px 0px)' }, $speed);
    return false;
}

... instead of this one:

function gotoReferral() {
    $scrollerWindow.stop().scrollTo($('#context'), $speed, { axis: 'x', offset: { left: 0, top: 0} });
    $('h1').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(-4900px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('#pointer').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(1091px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('h1').text('About Charlie');
    //_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Nav', 'About']);
    return false;
}

Answer №2

It appears that the functions in your scripts.js file are set to trigger when a user clicks on a navigation link, but they all have scrollTo($('#context') which should be replaced with the actual content id you want to display. It seems like these functions were copied and not updated from the original gotoContext() function. Additionally, the H1 tag text is also not being properly updated.

function goToSpecialities() {
    $scrollerWindow.stop().scrollTo($('#context'), $speed, { axis: 'x', offset: { left: 0, top: 0} });
    $('h1').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(-2940px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('#pointer').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(643px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('h1').text('Specialties');
    //_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Nav', 'Specialties']);
    return false;
}

function goToContactUs() {
    $scrollerWindow.stop().scrollTo($('#contact'), $speed, { axis: 'x', offset: { left: 0, top: 0} });
    $('h1').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(-3920px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('#pointer').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(867px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('h1').text('Contact Us');
    //_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Nav', 'Contact Us']);
    return false;
}

function goToReferral() {
    $scrollerWindow.stop().scrollTo($('#referral'), $speed, { axis: 'x', offset: { left: 0, top: 0} });
    $('h1').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(-4900px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('#pointer').stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: '(1091px 0px)' }, $speed);
    $('h1').text('Referral');
    //_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Nav', 'Referral']);
    return false;
}
