[jquery-dev] Re: Drag and Drop - Div Position

2009-08-11 Thread ludovic

Hi,
With drag & drop, there are different behaviors :
- when you can move an object everywhere. Then you have to get the
position in pixels to display the draggable at the same place the
following time. You get it with $(div).offset()
- when you reorder objects and put it into predefined droppables,
( and it will be preferrable to use sortable with connectWith and not
draggable ). Then two items identify you position : the parent
container, and the index.
The parent can be retrieved by $(div).parent() and the index by $
(div).prevAll().length

If you precise you situation, I'll detail one of the two options.

Regards,
Ludovic

[jquery-dev] Drag and Drop - Div Position

2009-08-11 Thread Tamer

Hi All,

  I developing an asp.net application where i allow user to design the
layout and save his settings into database. User can drag and drop
objects on the page.

I wonder how can i get the position of the DIV object before Drag and
the new position after the drop.  I hope you have some hints can help
to solve my problem.


Kind Regards
Tamer Ibrahim

[jquery-dev] Autocomplete Flush Cache

2009-08-11 Thread Thilani


hi
I m using that jquery autocomplete library.
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
It works fine.
I wanted to know how long cache will keep a suggestion for a
particular pattern.

Ex: Say I typed "d".After that there will be an Ajax request and a
suggestion list is displayed
   then matched list for "d " is cached.Which means if I delete the
first letter again and type d,It will not
generate ajax request.But I found out that , after typing some
letters, again if I type "d"  it ll cause an Ajax request.
This may because cache is flushed after certain period of time??

[jquery-dev] Re: Is jquery still not handling namespaces?

2009-08-11 Thread David

I have looked a little more, and found some behavior that puzzles me.
Desespite the claim that jquery doesn't support namespaces,
$("[x:\\name]") or $('[x:\\name="value"]')
_does_ work to select nodes in the original dom.
however,
$(document).find("[x:\\name]")
does not.

I had assume that find() used the same code as the basic selector, so
what is causing this difference?

Also, if I use jquery to _construct_ a document fragment with a
namespaced attribute, then the $([attrib],fragment) selector fails to
find it.

So to summarize, namespaced attributes work if and only if they are
defined in the dom and found using $([attrib]) instead of $().find
([attrib]).  Why is this?

Test code enclosed:

  
   Test

   http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/
jquery-1.3.2.js">
  


Fragments for tests:



this was a namespaced in-DOM div




this was a safe in-DOM div




Testing $('[attrib]'):

Testing $("#id").find("[attrib]") etc:




var written=$('
this was a namespaced jquery-written fragment
'); var writtenSafe=$('
this was a safe jquery-written fragment
'); var selectInSafe=$('[safe]'); var selectIn=$('[ex\\:method]'); var selectWrittenSafe=$('[safe]',writtenSafe); var selectWritten=$('[ex\\:method]',written); var findInSafe=$("#indom-safe").find('[safe]'); var findIn=$("#indom").find('[ex\\:method]'); var findWrittenSafe=writtenSafe.find('[safe]'); var findWritten=written.find('[ex\\:method]'); $("#select-exist") .append(selectInSafe.clone()) .append(selectWrittenSafe.clone()) .append(selectIn.clone()) .append(selectWritten.clone()); $("#find-exist") .append(findInSafe.clone()) .append(findWrittenSafe.clone()) .append(findIn.clone()) .append(findWritten.clone()); written.children().clone().appendTo("#fragments"); writtenSafe.children().clone().appendTo("#fragments"); On Aug 10, 11:15 am, David wrote: > thanks; this is helpful. > > On Aug 10, 3:52 am, DBJDBJ wrote: > > > var $xml = $(" > x:name='n1'>No namespaces"); > > > $xml.find("*[x:name=n1]").length < 1 > > /* > > Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [x:name=n1] > > */ > > $xml.find("*[x\\:name=n1]").length < 1 > > /* > > true > > */ > > $xml.find("*[name=n1]").length < 1 > > /* > > true > > */ > > Therefore : > > 1. *Sizzle* does not support namespaces in selector syntax > > 2. for node selectors namespaces will be ignored > > 3. for attribute selectors namespaces are provoking error . silent or > > not. > > > Please see this > > too:http://groups.google.com/group/sizzlejs/browse_thread/thread/48ef4372... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.

[jquery-dev] Re: about iterators, closures and scope

2009-08-11 Thread Pauan

I agree. As said, it was an unfortunate blunder that will probably
remain for the forseeable future.

On the plus side, it's not terribly hard to work around, and if it's a
major problem you can overwrite the jQuery.fn.each function, or even
jQuery.each (it shouldn't be that big of a deal, though).

Well! Maybe you *should* read a good book on JavaScript before you go making
careless posts again.

All we know about here is jQuery, but the guys on comp.lang.javascript said
there's only one good JavaScript book.

Definitive something or other. It shouldn't be too hard to track down.

That code has the same problem as the original, though. It is going to
queue up ARR.length-1 fadeOut operations that all have i==ARR.length
and fail. To get the code to work you need to create a closure
*within* the loop that captures the current loop value, which
jQuery.each does for you. Or am I missing something?

2009-08-11 Thread tres

I'm not seeing any functionality that can't already be done. It might
take off a few lines of code, but this doesn't really add anything
useful. If it allowed namespaces and the ability to use 'this' inside
the namespaces as you would in jQuery, then I, for one, would find it
very useful.

You're right: the constructor property doesn't work property even in an 
unoptimized beget() function.  I retract my previous message. I sent it 
without testing my assertion. That was careless, and I apologize.

My carelessness, however, is not sufficient reason for you to accuse me

Of course, if you optimize it in this way to share a single constructor 
function, you can't find the prototype of an object created with beget() 
with o.constructor.prototype. Not sure how important that is, but there

Well, except you have to hash the object to get an accurate key for the
object property.

I don't particularly think that this is something worth pursuing.

For B), it would create duplicates objects as it wouldn't be the same
objects as source, but it would conserve cycles inside an object
graph.
It don't think it causes a semantical problem, as when you copy a
graph, it would be normal to copy relations between nodes too.

For A), this is another problem. Yes, it could reduce performances as
we would have to create a mapping object and we would have to test and
add every object on it.
But,

-  after all, it is only a condition to add
if( typeof mapping[ copy ] != 'undefined' ) {
   target[ name ] = mapping[ copy ];
}
where copy would be the object inside a cycle. In fact, it is a bit
more complex, but not more costly

- When I see the complexity of some functions to have exactly the
exact rendering we want, I don't understand why it causes a problem to
add one or two conditions and store temporarily data.

[jquery-dev] Re: Recursive $.extend should manage loops

2009-08-11 Thread Daniel Friesen

jQuery does reproduce loops:

var father = {
child : {}
}
father.child.father = father;
$.extends( {}, father )

The problem here is you are telling jQuery to recurse into things it 
shouldn't be recursing into.

$.extends( true, .. ); is for when you want to duplicate nested objects, 
rather than reference the same objects.
By definition, you are asking jQuery to:
Take {}
Take the keys in father:
for the child key:
create an object to make a duplicate using and place that onto {}.child
recurse into child:
   for the father key:
  create an object to make a duplicate using and place that onto 
child.father
  recurse into father:
 for the child key:
create an object to make a duplicate using and place 
that onto father.child
recurse into child:
   ...

There is no problem here, jQuery is following your orders just as you 
give them.

If jQuery were to try and track circular references it would:
A) Make .extends extremely inefficient because it would have to store 
just about everything it touches and make sure it doesn't recurse
B) No longer create duplicate objects as it was told to

[jquery-dev] Recursive $.extend should manage loops

2009-08-11 Thread ludovic

Hi,
I've got loops in my objects relations. Example :

var father = {
child : {}
}

father.child.father = father;

$.extends( true, {}, father ) causes a infinite loop.

Jquery should reproduce loops.

[jquery-dev] Re: about iterators, closures and scope

2009-08-11 Thread Daniel Friesen

Event callback: function(eventObject) { this = domnode }// Because 
that's the way events have always worked
each() callback: function(index, sameAsThis) { this = item/domnode } // 
Keeping the pattern
map() callback: function(index, sameAsThis) { this = item/domnode } // 
Keeping the pattern
filter() callback: function(index) { this = item/domnode } // sorta 
keeping the pattern
vs.
Event callback: function(eventObject) { this = domnode } // event 
callbacks MUST use this as domnode, otherwise you destroy the api it was 
based on
each() callback: function(item, index?) { ... }
map() callback: function(item, index?) { ... }
filter() callback: function(item, index?) { ... }

Whether you like it or not, jQuery is a library for working with the 
dom. Thus when created each/map/filter had nothing to do with the array 
methods that have only been put into browsers recently (yes, recently... 
you are comparing standards set by new features, with decisions that 
were made years ago; not the best comparison), they were created to give 
control over the jQuery object's list of dom nodes. Thus, since all the 
other apis which worked with dom nodes used `this` to refer to the dom 
node that same api was used when writing those methods.
It's only a side effect that these methods happen to be usable on 
non-domlist arrays. Though frankly, imho that is abuse, these methods 
are not meant for that purpose, you can plainly see that in how $.fn.map 
differs from Array.prototype.map in how it folds arrays into the list 
rather than adding them as items.

And how is it inferior to set the current item as an argument to the
callback? This is how Array.prototype.forEach works. It causes less
problems while providing the exact same functionality. Also, event
handlers are not the same as functions used to iterate over an object,
nor do they serve the same purpose, so one model doesn't necessarily
apply to the other.

There definitely is a reason for it.  jQuery is a library for working
with the DOM, it is not a library meant to fix every problem with
JavaScript or to try to extend JavaScript in every possible way.  When
using jQuery specifically to work with the DOM (probably >90% of what
you're using it for, and 100% of what the average user uses it for),
it makes perfect sense to set the context to the current item.  Also,
native event handlers set the context to the event target, so jQuery
had an existing model to follow.

I think you guys are missing the point. This isn't a question about
object-oriented programming (in JavaScript or otherwise). It's about
jQuery's handling of "this" within the context of "each".

To answer the original question, I don't think there's any real reason
for it. It was an unfortunate blunder (probably intended for
convenience) that will probably remain (for backwards compatibility).
As said, you can store the reference to "this" in a variable, so you
can work around it.

2009-08-11 Thread Oleg Slobodskoi

I make always an a reference to my instance with var self = this; and
using always 'self' namespace after that, at this way you can be
always sure accessing the right object.

I think jQuery is alwas referencing 'this' to current elements set, so
jquery can't and won't to do any exception  in case of each method.
Its the style of jquery, because almost all methods you are using by
jquery are bounded to elements.
