I’m wondering how hard it would be to dynamically replace content in a wordpress site through the use of JQuery.
This is the article I’m going off of:
http://css-tricks.com/6336-dynamic-page-replacing-content/
My basic idea was to change the elements referred to in their javascript file to the elements created in wordpress by default. This means changing page-wrap to wrapper, main-content to main-col, and guts to content.
I ran into a speed bump when I tried replacing ‘guts’ though. For some reason the page doesn’t show the content anymore.
Anyway, after I get that sorted out,
I figured it out. I’ll insert the code into my wordpress site and hope for the best.
one of the pages:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<header></header>
<div class="nav">
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</header>
<section id="main-col">
<div id="content">
<h2>Home</h2>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</div>
</section>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Javascript that is inserted into the header:

$(function() {
var newHash = "",
$mainContent = $("#main-col"),
$pageWrap = $("#wrapper"),
baseHeight = 0,
$el;
$pageWrap.height($pageWrap.height());
baseHeight = $pageWrap.height() - $mainContent.height();
$("sf-menu").delegate("a", "click", function() {
window.location.hash = $(this).attr("href");
return false;
});
$(window).bind('hashchange', function(){
newHash = window.location.hash.substring(1);
if (newHash) {
$mainContent
.find("content")
.fadeOut(200, function() {
$mainContent.hide().load(newHash + "#content", function() {
$mainContent.fadeIn(200, function() {
$pageWrap.animate({
height: baseHeight + $mainContent.height() + "px"
});
});
$("sf-menu a").removeClass("current");
$("sf-menu a[href="+newHash+"]").addClass("current");
});
});
};
});
$(window).trigger('hashchange');
});
Change name into your css ID as well.. That is the only reason. If you have changed id in js and your php/html but not in css than defiantly it wont show any content.
So change #page-wrap to #wrapper and #main-content to #main-col and its done.
So overall you need to modify 3 files
Js, HTML/PHP and CSS
