[jQuery] Re: dev tip: combining JS script files
When you load the script, has nothing to do with the dom. The script can modify/alter the dom but the loading sequence is a completely new story. If you use the jQuery ready() method, your script will be processed right after the dom is loaded and before the images are loaded, which is what you want if you want to alter the dom, but don't care about images being shown when you do it. The scripts you want to put in after the body is script that are not run before the user interacts. That does not include behaviors, because you want them to work as soon the user e.g. clicks an element (and he/she can do that as soon as the page render). IMHO you're better of gzipping your files (and of course minimize them) and don't put more library (i.e. scripts) than you need.

You have trouble with CLASS and ID, try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#commentbox').hide();
$('a#comment-toggle').click(function() {
$('#commentbox').slideToggle(slow);
alert($('#commentbox'));
return false;
});
});
div class=story
div class=storytitle
hello

div class=storybg
blah blah blah
/div

Is better to use ID, is faster. You have not more as one comment form

[jQuery] Re: Animate bug under IE6?
Dan G. Switzer, II wrote: Collin, Hey all -- I'm new to the list (but not so new to jQuery), and was hoping I could get some assistance regarding what appears to be a bug in the .animate function when running under IE6. Inside a .click function assigned to a specific anchor tag, I call .animate using jQuery 1.1.3.1. It works in Firefox and Safari, but IE6 reports a runtime error. When I switch to jQuery 1.1.2, it works (mostly). The first animate sequence doesn't slide, but merely re-draws when the final frame is done, but all subsequent animations work fine. Perhaps this is due to my standalone IE6 (from evolt), as I've seen it have other weird problems with JS, too. I'm running IE7 installed, unfortunately. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've posted a demo of the issue at the following location (sans a few images): http://www.command-tab.com/jquery/animate_bug/ What happens if you change the doctype from strict to transitional? My experience with using a strict XHTML declaration almost always causes me trouble in IE6. -Dan It does not necessarily have some to do with Strict or Transitional if IE runs in Quirks Mode or in Standards Mode, especially if the Doctype is XHTML. It depends on how the Doctype declaration looks like (does it have a system identifier or not?)

[jQuery] Re: Dynamically set function settings?
From: juliandormon
Is it possible to write javascript dynamically so new
functions are created with the new parameters once the user
makes a change? These functions need to be added to the head
of my page because they get called after other functions. In
other words, the new functions interact with the javascript
that's already on the page. I guess they could be written
elsewhere dynamically within a main function and I simply
call this remote function and thereby any sub functions that
have been written to it. Is this possible?
JavaScript is a dynamic language. A *very* dynamic language. You can do
anything, any time.
JavaScript functions do not reside in the head nor the body of the document.
All global functions are actually properties of the window object. Where or
when you define them has no effect on that.
Consider this piece of code:
myfunction = function() { alert( 'hi!' ); };
You could execute that code in a script tag in the head, in a script tag in
the body, in a script that you load dynamically, or in a script that you
*create on the fly*. It will do the same thing regardless.
How about this one:
eval( myfunction = function() { alert( 'hi!' ); }; );
That does exactly the same thing, but now you're using a string that you
could have generated any way you like.
If there is other code in the page that calls myfunction(), and you later
redefine myfunction, that existing code will start using your new function.
One exception: Suppose a piece of code does this, or something like it:
var savemyfunction = myfunction;
And then that code calls savemyfunction(). Code like that will not pick up
your new function definition, because it has already saved a reference to
the previous myfunction.
I didn't look at your specific question about innerFade, I'm just addressing
the general question of defining functions dynamically.

[jQuery] DNN and jQuery Conflict
I've recently been brought into a DNN project where I'm trying to enlighten my co-woker(s) with the goodness which is jQuery. I'm having a problem getting the two to play nicely, together, though. I've tested both DNN and the jQuery code separately, and they work like a champ. I can also get them both to work successfully together in an individual module, but any other module that I call the jQuery from will fail with an Object expected; to be expected since it can't reach that script including. So, my next thought was to use Page Header Tags to include the jQuery script(s) at the top of the page before any of the modules even have a chance to try and grab custody. However, it appears to only crash the entire DNN Page with an Operation aborted message with no other details. Any information I can relay to help figure this out, I will. Sadly, do to the classification of the network I'm working on, I'm unable to copy the code over. If it would be helpful for me to make a mock-up of my work, to display here, let me know. Thanks, in advance, for any and all help! James McCabe james [dot] mccabe [at] lostwhispers [dot] com

Hmm, I left off a small portion that might help figure this one out. When I place the remote script include text (script src=some/where/ else/jquery.js/script) in the Page Header Tags, I can use basic jQuery across the modules. However, the problem comes when I try and add more than one jQuery script (plugins, etc.). Like I said, I have no problem when I put the jQuery and the plugin script in the same module, but once I try and make them cross-module by putting them in the header or just putting the extra remote script call in the desired module, I get the Operation Aborted failure.

While there is some simple javascript I've found that can do this kind

To do so, the javascript has to have some way to check if the funciton

For example:

believe, but I couldn't figure out how to get the reference to it.

[jQuery] Re: Loading Javascript Dynamically (in other words, as needed)
Hi, Chrisss, Maybe $.getScript is what you looking for. say, there is a hello.js with content: alert(hello); when you invoke $.getScript(hello.js) , scripts in hello.js will be eval and execute. for more details about $.getScript you can checkout the api doc On Jul 21, 12:57 am, Chrisss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I was wondering if jQuery can be used to load javascript dynamically, on an as-needed basis. Here is the problem I have: I want to load a page with as little javascript as possible. When someone clicks on an item that requires some javascript functionality, I want it to load a javascript function from an external file and then execute it. While there is some simple javascript I've found that can do this kind of thing by appending the script to the DOM, it can't do things in order. For instance, I want to load the function, and then execute it. To do so, the javascript has to have some way to check if the funciton exists. I don't like the idea of doing a time-out loop, so I was wondering if jQuery has something built in for this kind of thing. Thank you! Chris

[jQuery] load record and show form, two responses from clicking one link
Hi-
I have to thank you all for things like 15 days of jquery and the sites with
the tutorials, I've been able to add some great things to my pages lately.
Apologies if this question is stupid.
I have a form. There's a table on the page that displays the records. Each
record has an edit button. Hit the edit button, the record gets loaded and
the form is displayed - in Firefox 2.0+, not in earlier versions or any
versions of Internet Explorer.
Here's the code:
script type=text/javascript;
$('a#slick-show').click(function() {
$('div#the_form').show('slow');
});
/script
a href='admin.php?id={$row['id']}action=edit' class='bold'
id='slick-show'edit/a
I've been looking at bind? I tried:
$('a#slick-show').bind(click, function() {
$('div#the_form').show('slow') );
});
but no luck - it breaks it in Firefox and I get an error message missing ;
before statement
Any thoughts very much appreciated.
Take care.

Could you post a sample page somewhere where these fail? This is pretty

library. Have you looked at them in Firebug?
One more possibility: Is your code inside a $(document).ready() block?
If not, and if it's running in the head of the document, then JQuery
doesn't have any DOM elements to work with.
script type=text/javascript src=/path/to/jquery.js/script

$(document).ready(function() {

I need to read more about selectors.
It may also be my project has too many bells and whistles that it's not a
true test of your ideas.
Only if one of those bells is not working well with JQuery. It happens,
especially if other code is using the $() function.
-
Essentially, you need some way with CSS (or possibly XPath) selectors to
distinguish the elements that need your new behavior. Create a selector
for those elements and create a JQuery object from them using the $()
function. Then it's easy to send a behavior to the click method of this
JQuery object.

I have read this 10 times and I am still not sure what you are saying.
Concise, elegant, and completely unreadable, huh? My wife says that all
the time! :-)
And I bet she is a great at getting to explain it to mere mortals.
One more try: You have a number of elements to which you want to attach
certain behavior. The core of JQuery has to do with how you select
those elements. JQuery will accept a description of the set of elements you
want (a selector) and walk through the document object model (DOM)
creating a single object that wraps up all matching elements.
This concept of walking is something that I am not familiar with. In fact
I have to say that I am not well versed in the DOM and I think that is
lowering my ability to get the big picture, so that is part of my work
ahead. I certainly get the essence of your point, which is the ability to
take a collection of css and HTML and manipulate it as a single element with
JQuery and all its tools. Is there a place I can learn all about the DOM
that is not super technical?
This lets you work with these elements in many ways as though they were a
single element.
When you run this:
$(#myDiv img.myClass).click(someFunction)
what you are doing is creating a CSS-based selector, #myDiv img.myClass,
which can be thought of as all the images whose classes include 'myClass'
and are contained in the element with the id 'myDiv'.
So you mean: if you have something like an HTML table with 6 img
src=href.. statements in it, and you give each of these a class=myClase
then every one of those images will be considered by jQuery to be the ID of
their main container DIV, which is #myDiv here. So you are able to perform
some cool manipulation of all those imgs. Is that close?
You are wrapping those in a single JQuery object by calling the $()
function with that selector. Then, you are calling the method click on
that object, passing in the function as a parameter. Behind the scenes,
JQuery is binding that function to the click event of each matching element.
I think I get this.
The variety and the brevity of selectors you can apply is one of the
hallmarks of JQuery. But for your purposes, simple selectors, such as
img.myClass would probably be enough.
Does that make any more sense? Or am I just confusing the issue?
It helps a TON Scott.
I read the Selectors docs. Pretty useless to me. The entire subject is
confused by the inclusion of xpath and no real world example. I could not
make any thing of its contents.

It is important that the script tag for the jQuery library be placed before the tag for our custom scripts; otherwise, the jQuery framework will not be available when our code attempts to reference it. So, there may not be much fluff, but we tried really hard to explain even the simplest of concepts so that people making a shift from design to development or from some other programming language to JavaScript would feel comfortable.

Is there a place I can learn all about the DOM that is not super technical? Hi Mitchell, Here is a little snippet from the book (Learning jQuery) that might help explain the DOM concept a bit: ++ One of the most powerful aspects of jQuery is its ability to make DOM traversal easy. The Document Object Model is a family-tree structure of sorts. HTML, as well as other markup languages, uses this model to describe the relationships of things on a page. When we refer to these relationships, we use the same terminology that we use when referring to family relationships: parents, children, and so on. A simple example can help us understand how the family tree metaphor applies to a document: html head titlethe title/title /head body div pThis is a paragraph./p pThis is another paragraph./p pThis is yet another paragraph./p /div /body /html Here, html is the ancestor of all the other elements; or, in other words, all the other elements are descendants of html. The head and body elements are children of html. Therefore, in addition to being the ancestor of head and body, html is also their parent. The p elements are children (and descendants) of div, descendants of body and html, and siblings of each other. ++ When Scott refers to walking the DOM, he's talking about accessing elements in your HTML by moving up from child to parent or down from parent to child or across from sibling to sibling. Does that make sense? --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com

[jQuery] Re: Click to Call a Function Part 2
$(this) is the anchor link the user clicked on.
What is nice about jquery is the whole concept of $(this). Once you know
what the user moused over or clicked on or dragged or whatever, you have a
place to start in your code.
For instance, let's say you had a table with ten rows. and this code:
$('td').click(function(){
$(this).parents(tr).addClass(foo);
});
That means you would be binding a click event to EVERY row, and use one
single click function to mean, Whatever row the user clicked on...climb up
to the TR and give it a new css class called Foo. It's incredibly
powerful. One of my first jQuery examples used the same thing but with a
mouseover instead of a click. That let me highlight the background of the
row the user was one. My goodness, I was so happy to be gone with
onmouseover and onmouseout of every single TR.
This line: $(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
Basically what it means is that I want to end up with one of the following:
$(#console a.click).fadeIn(1000);
$(#console a.over).fadeIn(1000);
$(#console a.out).fadeIn(1000);
But rather than make 3 lines. I used a flexible feature of jQuery which is
using variables in the middle of the statement.
I ended the part in quotes after the a-dot, and then used + type. Type is
just a made up word. I could have said eventType or Foo.
If you notice all the lines that call this had the type in the
parenthethes. showLink(over).
So it's kind of like a fancy CSS rule builder using a variable. I consider
it an advanced technique (FOR ME). I am not a programmer.
The tutorials are a great place to start. I would do all the basic examples
first. You will be surprised how much foundation
they give you.
Glen
On 7/21/07, Mitchell Waite [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
There is LOT going on in your excellent examples, lots for me to ponder.
For the first example it appears that first you make single container
called #console which you use to display what I think are links (a). Then
you set its display to none so its invisible.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#nest').click(function(){
showLink(click);
});
$('#nest').mouseover(function(){
showLink(over);
});
$('#nest').mouseout(function(){
showLink(out);
});
$('#console a').click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut(slow);
});
});
Here I believe you attaching four mouse events to the #nest div, and
calling the showlink function with a parameter that displays the name of the
event. This so much simpler then my approach where I hide and showed DIVs
that contained static messages. However my actual goal is not to display
messages but to reveal more graphics but how would you have known that? So I
will next post what my actual goal is in a new demo. Still I love this
method.
$('#console a').click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut(slow);
});
I think this cool piece of code says that any link in the div #console
should fadeout slowly if it receives a click. *I don't know what (this)
means however.*
function showLink(type) {
$(#nest).fadeTo(1000, .5);
$(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
}
I think this function does a double duty which I did not know you could
do. First
$(#nest).fadeTo(1000, .5);
fades the #nest image to 50%. However unlike my example yours fades on any
mouseover, mine just did it on a click event. That's because all you events
call the same routine. I would like to distinguish the Mouseover from the
Click.
Then I think this piece of code, which again is a lot for a beginner
$(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
Takes any link that has been clicked and somehow comes up with a string
like mouse over, but god only knows how it works.
Thanks for all the emails, I'll take as many as you can deliver.
I'm going to wait till I grok this before moving to the fancy smanchy one.

HI Michael,
Thank you so much for the very informative answer. I believe it will serve
me well in the future.
I guess what I was driving at, was rewriting a function in the head of my

from the head - so there is no need to rewrite the functions that reside
there.
Cheers!
Michael Geary wrote:
From: juliandormon
Is it possible to write javascript dynamically so new
functions are created with the new parameters once the user
makes a change? These functions need to be added to the head
of my page because they get called after other functions. In
other words, the new functions interact with the javascript
that's already on the page. I guess they could be written
elsewhere dynamically within a main function and I simply
call this remote function and thereby any sub functions that
have been written to it. Is this possible?
JavaScript is a dynamic language. A *very* dynamic language. You can do
anything, any time.
JavaScript functions do not reside in the head nor the body of the
document.
All global functions are actually properties of the window object. Where
or
when you define them has no effect on that.
Consider this piece of code:
myfunction = function() { alert( 'hi!' ); };
You could execute that code in a script tag in the head, in a script tag
in
the body, in a script that you load dynamically, or in a script that you
*create on the fly*. It will do the same thing regardless.
How about this one:
eval( myfunction = function() { alert( 'hi!' ); }; );
That does exactly the same thing, but now you're using a string that you
could have generated any way you like.
If there is other code in the page that calls myfunction(), and you later
redefine myfunction, that existing code will start using your new
function.
One exception: Suppose a piece of code does this, or something like it:
var savemyfunction = myfunction;
And then that code calls savemyfunction(). Code like that will not pick up
your new function definition, because it has already saved a reference to
the previous myfunction.
I didn't look at your specific question about innerFade, I'm just
addressing
the general question of defining functions dynamically.

I've been trying to get it to work with MYSQL but so far I've had no
luck.
Here is the code I have for save.php

require_once 'dbConnection.php';
function getLastID() {
$id = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query(SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(), $this-
linkId));
return $id[0];
}
$query=INSERT INTO edits(id, token, value)
VALUES('$_POST[id]', '%s', '$_POST[value]');
if(!mysql_db_query($dbname,$query,$link_id)) die(mysql_error());
(stripslashes($_POST['value']));
$result = mysql_query($query);
usleep(2000);
print $_POST['value'];
?
/END CODE
I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to PHP/MYSQL...
Can anyone help me get it working?

You need to var the generate_to variable in the click handler. Currently

Thanks. This works perfectly.
Also, I think I'd change the plug-in a bit. IMO, I would make more sense to
use like:
$(#button).generate_password(#passwordField, iLength);
That way you can attach the behavior to any element. Also, by using a
selector for the field to update, you could update multiple fields with the
same value (in those cases where you had both a password and confirm
password fields.)
I think I understand but how do I handle the #passwordField part
within the plugin?
Thanks,

[jQuery] Jquery doesn't work with mod_rewrite ?
Hello, I've already post this message in another lists wihch was not the right one. Hello, First of all, I'd like to say that the JQuery lib is the best I've ever used ! But I've a tiny problem with my script. I'm rewriting URLs with the mod_rewrite and when I try to run JavaScript scripts powered by JQuery, it doesn't work if it's a rewritten URL and I can't fix that. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance, Nico. I've tried to use absolute and relative path in my src attribute in my script element but none of them fixed my problem. Jquery.js is correctly loaded but I can't run any of the functions. Thanks, Nico.

$(this) is the anchor link the user clicked on.
What is nice about jquery is the whole concept of $(this). Once you know
what the user moused over or clicked on or dragged or whatever, you have a
place to start in your code.
For instance, let's say you had a table with ten rows. and this code:
$('td').click(function(){
$(this).parents(tr).addClass(foo);
});
That means you would be binding a click event to EVERY row, and use one
single click function to mean, Whatever row the user clicked on...climb up
to the TR and give it a new css class called Foo. It's incredibly powerful.
One of my first jQuery examples used the same thing but with a mouseover
instead of a click. That let me highlight the background of the row the
user was one. My goodness, I was so happy to be gone with onmouseover and
onmouseout of every single TR.
This line: $(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
Basically what it means is that I want to end up with one of the following:
$(#console a.click).fadeIn(1000);
$(#console a.over).fadeIn(1000);
$(#console a.out).fadeIn(1000);
But rather than make 3 lines. I used a flexible feature of jQuery which is
using variables in the middle of the statement.
I ended the part in quotes after the a-dot, and then used + type. Type is
just a made up word. I could have said eventType or Foo.
If you notice all the lines that call this had the type in the parenthethes.
showLink( over).
So it's kind of like a fancy CSS rule builder using a variable. I consider
it an advanced technique (FOR ME). I am not a programmer.
The tutorials are a great place to start. I would do all the basic examples
first. You will be surprised how much foundation
they give you.

There is LOT going on in your excellent examples, lots for me to ponder.
For the first example it appears that first you make single container called
#console which you use to display what I think are links (a). Then you set
its display to none so its invisible.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#nest').click(function(){
showLink(click);
});
$('#nest').mouseover(function(){
showLink(over);
});
$('#nest').mouseout(function(){
showLink(out);
});
$('#console a').click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut(slow);
});
});
Here I believe you attaching four mouse events to the #nest div, and calling
the showlink function with a parameter that displays the name of the event.
This so much simpler then my approach where I hide and showed DIVs that
contained static messages. However my actual goal is not to display messages
but to reveal more graphics but how would you have known that? So I will
next post what my actual goal is in a new demo. Still I love this method.
$('#console a').click(function(){
$(this).fadeOut(slow);
});
I think this cool piece of code says that any link in the div #console
should fadeout slowly if it receives a click. I don't know what (this) means
however.
function showLink(type) {
$(#nest).fadeTo(1000, .5);
$(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
}
I think this function does a double duty which I did not know you could do.
First
$(#nest).fadeTo(1000, .5);
fades the #nest image to 50%. However unlike my example yours fades on any
mouseover, mine just did it on a click event. That's because all you events
call the same routine. I would like to distinguish the Mouseover from the
Click.
Then I think this piece of code, which again is a lot for a beginner
$(#console a. + type).fadeIn(1000);
Takes any link that has been clicked and somehow comes up with a string like
mouse over, but god only knows how it works.
Thanks for all the emails, I'll take as many as you can deliver.

You should think about your html like a giant tree. The html tag is the

means towards the trunk of the tree. Siblings are branches right next to

:) This is really funny. I have never seen anything like this. Yes, I think it's accurate. One note: In general, try to keep the subject like the same and just click reply. In Gmail, that keeps the thread together. Otherwise, it looks like three threads. Makes it easier for people to skip a topic if they want.

The html tag is the trunk, then the body tag is a branch, and then the table tag is a branch off that, and so on and so on, down through each nested item. Climbing up means towards the trunk of the tree. Siblings are branches right next to something. A great tool, which is sounds like you may not have it Firebug for Firefox and IE Dev Toolbar for Internet Explorer. They are MUST HAVE tools for any web developer. They are absolutely essential. Google for them and you will see. Ooops, kids need to be brought to the park. Gotta run. :) Glen
