I'm trying to load a div from another page using ajax but maintain the URL integrity using the History API. The ajax and history part is working (ie. the div is loading and the url is changing) but for some reason my div contains my entire page not just what is meant to be in the div!
This is the case for both the original page and the page div being loaded.
Stripped back HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="slider">
... all the page content
<a rel='tab' href="p/password.jsf">Forgot password?</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
JS
<script>
$(function(){
$("a[rel='tab']").click(function(e){
//get the link location that was clicked
pageurl = $(this).attr('href');
//to get the ajax content and display in div with id 'content'
$.ajax({
url:pageurl + '?rel=tab',
success: function(data){
$('#slider').html(data);
}});
//to change the browser URL to 'pageurl'
if(pageurl!=window.location){
window.history.pushState({path:pageurl},'',pageurl);
}
return false;
});
});
/* the below code is to override back button to get the ajax content without reload*/
$(window).bind('popstate', function() {
$.ajax({
url:location.pathname+'?rel=tab',
success: function(data){
$('#slider').html(data);
}});
});
</script>
