Question

Im building a Magento platform webshop.

I call a content block in the template with:

<a href="#tab">TAB BUTTON</a>
<div id="tab"><?php echo $this->getChildHtml('CONTENT'); ?></div>

Only the content of getchildhtml is too large to load at once. Is it possible to load the php echo once clicked on the button?

Display-none will still preload the content, but i’m looking too load the php content of getchildhtml.

Answer 1

You can but you will need to use AJAX and have a server side script to serve the content

  <a href="#tab" id="button">TAB BUTTON</a>
  <div id="tab"></div>

$(function() {
  $('#button').on('click', function() {
    $('#tab').load('_URL_TO_PHP_THAT_ECHO_CONTENT_');
  });
});
