Question

I have the following link which opens a dom window…

<a href='#inlineContent' class='defaultDOMWindow'>(edit interests)</a><br /><br />";?>

    <script type='text/javascript'> 
    $('.defaultDOMWindow').openDOMWindow({ 
    eventType:'click', 
    loader:1, 
    loaderImagePath:'animationProcessing.gif', 
    loaderHeight:16, 
    loaderWidth:17 
    }); 
    </script> 
    <div id='inlineContent' style='display: none;'> 
    <h1 class='login-hdr'>Your Interests!</h1>

What I need to do is if a user visits a certain url eg, http://www.mysite.com#DOMwindow the DOM window would then load without the user having to click the link, but if he visits the url normally with http://www.mysite.com the window would not load, im not sure if this is possible but thought id ask…

Answer 1

I don’t know what openDOMWindow() does, but I suspect/guess it is attaching a click event to .defaultDOMWindow. If so, try the following:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.defaultDOMWindow').openDOMWindow({ 
        eventType:'click', 
        loader:1, 
        loaderImagePath:'animationProcessing.gif', 
        loaderHeight:16, 
        loaderWidth:17 
    });
    // if the visitor requests www.mysite.com#DOMwindow
    // trigger a click event on the .defaultDOMWindow
    // thus the window will be opened automatically on load time
    if(window.location.hash == '#DOMwindow'){
        $('.defaultDOMWindow').trigger('click');
    }
});
