Re: [jQuery] Interface 1.1
I like the new demo layout but it might be wise to put some initial content in the demo window, pointing people to the links below. Also, I got an error on the selectables demo. When I click serialise (XP and FF2) it gives me, Error: a.get(0) has no properties Source File: http://interface.eyecon.ro/interface/interface.js Line: 8 Great work as always, thank you!

Re: [jQuery] Beginner question re: getting and setting element class name
I can pass 'this' but using (#+this.id) was the way to do it with the least code written. Inside the function I need to check the first 4 letters of the ID string of the calling element to determine how to proceed, as well as use the id as an element reference for the jQuery object. So it's either pass that or use 'this' and inside the function: checkid = $(id).attr(id).substring(0,4) and then use checkid in comparisons. But I thought creating the extra object inside the function to carry this was wasteful. Since passing the concated '#id' string works without further modification inside the function it seemed like the best way to go about it. I'm not a particularly skilled JS developer though, so perhaps the best practice is to keep shenanigans like that inside the function? If it's hackish perhaps I'll find it doesn't always work in the future.

Re: [jQuery] Flickering problem in Firefox
There's no white page thing happening for me. It's smooth on the way down, a bit jerky on the way up but I don't see the page turning white for a second.

Maybe flickering is the wrong expression, since it just blinks if you have a computer that's fast enough. It shows much more if you're on a slow computer.

Thanks, and I already took your advice :) On 1/14/07, Ⓙⓐⓚⓔ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a bit clunky. To me clunky is a overly long calling sequence this or this.id is easy to pass. #+this.id is more clunky when you put the more clunky expressions inside a function you can re-used 'proven' code.

[jQuery] Beginner question re: getting and setting element class name
Hi, I'm just starting to use jQuery and, while I'm not much of a coder, I
love the way it works. I was developing a project using the Prototype
library, but after discovering jQuery I'm converting everything. I'm finding
it straightforward but I have a request for a clarification on something.
I have a function that branches depending on the class name of the element
that was passed to it.
Using Prototype:
function checkState(id) {
if ($(id).className == something) { etc
but in jQuery it doesn't work. It does work if I use:
if ($(id).attr(class) == something) { etc
I'm just wondering, as a beginner, if that would be the most 'correct' way
to do it.
Also, if I want to toggle the class name of an element between say active
and inactive what is the easiest way to do that? From the documentation I
see that addClass won't replace the existing class so it looks like the best
way is to use the attr(key,value) method and do something like:
$(id).attr(class, active)
It works, I'm just looking for 'best practise' advice.
Thanks
Miles

Re: [jQuery] Beginner question re: getting and setting element class name
Thanks! I didn't know that existed, I assume it returns boolean. That's
great!
Cheers

Use the is method:
$(id).is(something);

Is id an ID? If so, you could use $('#id.something') and chain
whatever methods you want onto it.
The code that sets the event and function call is:
$(#options).find(a).click(function(){checkState(#+this.id)});
If there's a better way to pass an element reference to a function I'd love
to know, this works but it feels a bit clunky having to append the # like
that.
IYou could do something like this:
$(id).removeClass('inactive').addClass('active');
and this:
$(id).removeClass('active').addClass('inactive');
Your approach will strip the id of any other classes that it might
have as well. So, if the element were div id=foo class=inactive
pretty, you would be changing it to div id=foo class=active,
and you would be losing the pretty.
By using .removeClass() and .addClass() you can be a little more
precise.
Thanks, I thought about that, it is probably better practice than the way
I'm doing it using the attr method.
Cheers
