I am starting to learn jQuery now and have added a couple effects (table sorter and whatnot) so far to my blog at: http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/. One thing I want to do with it is to turn off certain page elements if the current URL equals a certain string. For example: I have a number of different entries on Mexican food at Disneyland but sometimes visitors will look at one entry and then leave the blog without finding the information they were looking for and usually it's because they don't click (or know about) the "disneyland" tag at the bottom of each entry. So yesterday I created the following image:
http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/panchitoMessage.gif I put the image in each separate Disneyland entry and linked it to the tag, which all works good, except that once people are in the "disneyland" tag (http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/ disneyland) I don't want them to have to see the image anymore. Not only will it show up about 13 times but it may confuse some visitors, making them think that they are still not on the correct page. So my first attempt at creating a jQuery statement (once I added the jqURL plugin in) was: $.jqURL.url(http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/disneyland) { $('IMG[src="http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/ panchitoMessage.gif"]').addClass('noDisplay'); } Now that may be laughable or it may be close. I don't really know . . . but it didn't work. What I'm basically trying to get the statement to say is, "If the current URL equals 'http:// ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/disneyland' then add the class 'noDisplay' to any instance of the panchitoMessage.gif image occurring on the page. Of course, the class 'noDisplay' in the style sheet is set to display: none. UPDATE: The person I had e-mailed this problem to responded with this script: if ( $.jqURL.url() == "http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/ disneyland" ) { $('IMG[src="http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/ panchitoMessage.gif"]').addClass('noDisplay'); } Which *does* seem like it should work . . . but it doesn't. After writing back to tell him it didn't work I never heard from him again. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
