Question

AddThis button will not work inside AJAX, but will work normally.

Answer 1

A:

It seems like the script is calling the onLoad event of javascript and using this ajax call won't actually trigger that event. You could try other "share this" widget?

Like http://sharethis.com/#STS=g12m3ugh.21zb or pre-load that button?

Can you post a little bit more of the story on what are you doing?

Answer 2

A:

Is details.html a fully compliant page on it's own? HTML, BODY, HEAD tags, etc?

If so, I think things can get kind screwy when you try to load it into another page. I would either change details.html to just include the barebones markup that you need - or - if you need it to still be individually accessible - you could use jQuery to strip out the needed bits after the ajax call and only inject that portion.

Details.html

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="details">
    The needy bits.......
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Index.html

$("#targetDivID").load("detail.html #details");

Answer 3

+2 A:

if i understand your question correctly, in the callback of the ajax function, bind the roll-over to the add-this button.

 $.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "some.php",
   data: "name=John&location=Boston",
   success: function(){
     $('.addthis_button').hover(
       function(){
         //do mouse over
       },function(){
         //do mouse out
     });
   }
 });

you can also try

$('.addthis_button').live('mouseover',function(){//do mouseover});
$('.addthis_button').live('mouseout',function(){//do mouseout});

i've never used live, but it seems like it would work for you since your add_this button's get created after the $(document).ready()

Answer 4

A:

Add this snippet of .js to the .html you are loading. Replace "#atbutton" with your button's selector.

addthis.button("#atbutton");

Answer 5

A:

I recently ran in to issues with using AddThis on an all AJAX site and was able to come up with a couple of solutions for this issue.

It turns out there is a variable that you can pass when loading the AJAX script as well as a way to re-initialize the script if the DOM is reloaded via AJAX. I have posted the full solution in detail on my blog here:

http://joecurlee.com/2010/01/21/how-to-use-addthis-with-ajax-and-overflowauto/

To briefly summarize, the solution is loading AddThis with the variable domready=1 appended, and re-initializing the script by deleting the initial load and then reloading the script dynamically:

var script = 'http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#domready=1';
if (window.addthis){
    window.addthis = null;
}
$.getScript( script );
