Re: [jQuery] jQuery and Jack Slocum's Ext

Wow - this is fantastic news!

Great to see those two libs somewhat merge together and possibly also
boost the communities around these projects. :)

Re: [jQuery] Very long input text value and focus

2007-01-15 Thread Alex Brem
Hi Roberto,

I'm a bit in a hurry without much time for testing this but you can try
to get and then again set the selection.

Just use my plugin to accomplish this:
http://laboratorium.0xab.cd/jquery/fieldselection/0.2.3-test/

If this doesn't work, try it like this:
Get the selection range, store it, position the cursor to the end and
then re-set the stored range.

 Hello,
 I don't know how to do that in JS or in JQuery, here is the problem:
 
 Imagine 2 or 3 text fields of a form. A long value text is displayed
 in each field. The text is too long and when I put a focus on a field
 I did not see the cursor. How can I automatically display the end of
 the text when I focus it?
 
 Hoping is clear... thanks in advance -- Roberto

Re: [jQuery] Cursor position inside of textfield / textarea?

2006-12-19 Thread Alex Brem
Hello Jonathan,

as Karl and Jörn already pointed out, at the time I'm coding a plugin
which handles all the selection stuff inside an input field / a
textarea. The latest Version also includes setSelection.

More information can be found in this thread:

http://www.nabble.com/plugin%3A-fieldSelection-tf2833491.html

Please note: The plugin is relatively new and I have the feeling that
some of the API may change in the near future as I already got some
suggestions on how to improve the plugin. :)

Also I have to write some documentation...

Alex

 Is it possible to get the current cursor offset in a text field?
 
 For example Hello world if the cursor is between the H and e could I
 somehow get the offset of 1?

Re: [jQuery] plugin: fieldSelection

2006-12-18 Thread Alex Brem
Hi John,

many, many thanks for your ideas!
So maybe you are interested in the latest version where I implemented
the cursor to new text suggestion. Just pass true to
replaceSelection() as a second parameter. Or maybe it should be the default?

The latest testing version is is 0.2.1, but please note, it is not very
well tested in Opera and Safari. Also there are known IE quirks!

http://laboratorium.0xab.cd/jquery/fieldselection/

Also new is setSelection() which.. let's you set a field selection. :)
But please note: although it basically works, I for sure have to rewrite
the arguments stuff which is way too hackish. But what I wanted to
implement is stuff like this:

setSelection([2, 5])
setSelection({start: 5, end: 'current'})
setSelection({pos: 5})
setSelection('$') // cursor to end

I also want to implement things like select word under cursor and
similar things.

And I thought about optionally passing a function e.g. to intercept
replaceSelection(). This way you could easily implement stuff like
additionally wrap spaces around the inserted text, but only if there are
non surrounding, if you know what I mean.

So.. am I moving it into the right direction? :)

 Ok, this is really really impressive. Every time that I have to deal
 with text-field selection, I'm constantly banging my head against the
 keyboard. This is a fantastic plugin to have on hand.
 
 Some quick suggestions:
 - When you replace a snippet, the cursor loses focus. It would be
 fantastic if the new replaced snippet was selected too.  Like so: foo
 [bar] baz becomes: foo [zoo] baz (where [] is the selection)
 - In the object that you return, including two other properties:
 before (The text before the current selection) and after (the text
 after the current selection)
 - Make it so that you can bind a .selection() event (or some such) so
 that you can have a method be called back every time the selection
 changes, for example:
 $(...).selection(function(e,s){
alert( s.text );
 });
 (This would only have to fire whenever the selection is complete)
 
 This is a great plugin - I can't wait to use it! (Especially
 considering that it works great in IE, Safari and Firefox!)

Re: [jQuery] Plugin Rewrite: Accordion

 Hi folks,
 
 instead of pointing Frank what he could change on his code, I gave it
 a try for myself. You can see the result, yet badly documented, here:
 http://www.joern.jquery.com/accordion/accordion.html
 
 The behaviour should be exactly the same as the original. Is this
 worthy to put it in the jQuery plugin repository?

Hi Jörn,

with Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Windows I see some display bugs concerning the
height of the sub elements.

In the 1st example the height of the third element and in the 2nd
example the second and third element grows out of its box at the bottom.

No problems seem to appear on Firefox (DeerPark) 1.5.0.6 on my Mac.

 I don't have a Win 2000 handy right now, I will have a look into it on

 I really wonder, whats the difference between Firefox on Win 2000 and XP!

 How about this Cheat Sheet I made, based off visual jquery..

Hello Nilesh,

thanks for the sheet, I really like it. About the 2nd/back page: I think
this would be great. Maybe also with some tricks and/or often used
idioms (which would IMHO be a great help for beginners of jQuery).

Greets, Alex
