There&#39;s no need for jQuery.

    window.location.href = &#39;http://example.com&#39;;

Use:

    window.location.replace(...)

See this Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow question for more information:

*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/*

Or perhaps it was this you remember:

    var url = &quot;http://stackoverflow.com&quot;;
    location.href = url;


This is easier:

    location.href = &#39;http://address.com&#39;;

Or

    location.replace(&#39;http://address.com&#39;); // &lt;-- No history saved.


I think you are looking for:

    window.location = &#39;http://someUrl.com&#39;;

It&#39;s not jQuery; it&#39;s pure JavaScript.


Ideally, you want to be using `window.location.replace(...)`.

See this answer here for a full explanation: *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery*


You can use just JavaScript:

    window.location = &#39;http://address.com&#39;;


None of the tutorials will help!  
They all do that thing where they just assume I know what to do..

Currently, my terminal window starts with..

    # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
    # with &#39;#&#39; will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
    # On branch master
    # Changes to be committed:
    #   (use &quot;git reset HEAD &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to unstage)

but there&#39;s no way to know how to do what they say to do here..  
http://learn.github.com/p/normal.html

All it says is

&gt; We simply type our commit message and exit the editor.

What does that mean?!  
Just because you write the word **simply** doesn&#39;t mean it is simple..

When I start to type it does wierd stuff, says &quot;recording&quot; or &quot;inserting&quot; and there are about 300 files, and it wants me to replace every line with a message?!?

### Help !

I would use their handy Mac application for this, but if it&#39;s over 20 files or so, it freezes up !  
What&#39;s up with that??

How can I commit files with git?

Today I got a problem. I am in the need of a `static` member function, `const` is not a must but a better. But, I didn&#39;t succeed in my efforts. Can anybody say why or how?

I remember there&#39;s a redirect function in jQuery.

It was like:

    $(location).href(&#39;http://address.com&#39;)

But what was it exactly? I couldn&#39;t remember and can&#39;t find it using Google Search.


jQuery location href

I remember there's a redirect function in jQuery.
It was like:
<pre><code class="hljs language-javascript">$(location).href('http://address.com')
</code></pre>
But what was it exactly? I couldn't remember and can't find it using Google Search.

Here&#39;s a snippet of the start of my code:

    var myUpload = $(&quot;#upload_link&quot;).upload({bla bla bla

Basically what I&#39;m trying to do is make the same call with a few different ID&#39;s...

I would have assumed this would work but it doesn&#39;t:

    var myUpload = $(&quot;#upload_link,#upload_link2,#upload_link3&quot;).upload({

Any ideas?

jQuery Multiple ID selectors

I want to make a confirmation before user leaving the page. If he says ok then it would redirect to new page or cancel to leave. I tried to make it with onunload

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
    function con() {
    	var answer = confirm(&quot;do you want to check our other products&quot;)
    	if (answer){
    		
    		alert(&quot;bye&quot;);
    	}
    	else{
    		window.location = &quot;http://www.example.com&quot;;
    	}
    }
    &lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    
    &lt;body onunload=&quot;con();&quot;&gt;
    &lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;main page&lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

But it confirm after page already closed? How to do it properly?

It would be even better if someone shows how to do it with jQuery?

JavaScript before leaving the page

Using only pure JavaScript, what is the most efficient way to select all DOM elements that have a certain `data-` attribute (let&#39;s say `data-foo`).

The elements may be different, for example:

    &lt;p data-foo=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h6 data-foo=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;

What is the meaning of polyfills in HTML5? I saw this word in many sites about HTML5, e.g. [HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills.](https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills)

&gt;  So here we&#39;re collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills
&gt; in order to implant HTML5 functionality in browsers that don&#39;t
&gt; natively support them.

I actually don&#39;t understood what is the meaning of polyfills.

Is it a new HTML5 technique or a JavaScript library? I never heard this word before HTML5.

And what is the difference between shims, fallbacks, and polyfills?

Is there a way to detect when a page has finished loading ie all its content, javascript and assets like css and images?

so like:

    if(PAGE HAS FINISHED LOADING)
    {
    // do something amazing
    }

and also additionally if the page has been loading for more than 1 min then do something else such as:

    if(PAGE HAS BEEN LOADING FOR 1 MIN)
    {
    // do something else amazing
    }

I&#39;ve seen websites like Apple&#39;s MobileMe do similar checks but haven&#39;t been able to figure it out in their huge code libraries.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

EDIT: This is essentially what I want to do:

    // hide content
    $(&quot;#hide&quot;).hide();
    
    // hide loading
    $(&quot;#loading&quot;).hide();
    
    // fade in loading animation
    setTimeout($(&#39;#loading&#39;).fadeIn(), 200);
    
    jQuery(window).load(function() {
      $(&quot;#hide&quot;).fadeIn();
    
      $(&quot;#loading&quot;).fadeOut(function() {
        $(this).remove();
        clearInterval(loadingAnim);
      });
    
      setTimeout(function() {
        $(&quot;#error&quot;).fadeIn();
      }, 60000);
    });



Detect if page has finished loading

    var classes = $(this).attr(&#39;class&#39;).split(&#39; &#39;); // this gets the current element classes
    
    var classes = $(this).parent().attr(&#39;class&#39;).split(&#39; &#39;); // this gets the parent classes.

The parent in the above situation is an ankor.

If I wanted to get the first parent DIV of $(this) what would the code look like?

    var classes = $(this).div:parent().attr(&#39;class&#39;).split(&#39; &#39;); // just a quick try.



*** Basically I want to get the classes of the first parent DIV of $(this).

thx


How to select first parent DIV using jQuery?

## Goal:

Using jQuery, I&#39;m trying to replace all the occurrences of: 

    &lt;code&gt; ... &lt;/code&gt;

with:

    &lt;pre&gt; ... &lt;/pre&gt;

### My solution:

I got as far as the following, 

    $(&#39;code&#39;).replaceWith( &quot;&lt;pre&gt;&quot; + $(&#39;code&#39;).html() + &quot;&lt;/pre&gt;&quot; );

### The problem with my solution:

but the issues is that it&#39;s replacing everything between the (second, third, fourth, etc)&quot;code&quot; tags with the content between the **first** &quot;code&quot; tags. 

e.g. 

    &lt;code&gt; A &lt;/code&gt;
    &lt;code&gt; B &lt;/code&gt;
    &lt;code&gt; C &lt;/code&gt;

becomes

    &lt;pre&gt; A &lt;/pre&gt;
    &lt;pre&gt; A &lt;/pre&gt;
    &lt;pre&gt; A &lt;/pre&gt;

I think I need to use &quot;this&quot; and some sort of function but I&#39;m afraid I&#39;m still learning and don&#39;t really understand how to piece a solution together.
