[jQuery] height of div
Hi,
I'm trying to get the height value of a div that's contents are retrieved
from a separate html file using .load, but it only ever comes back with a
value of zero. This is probably because the div is yet to have any contents
loaded into it. How would I go about getting the height only when the
contents have been fully loaded?
here is the code I have so far
$('#content').load('home.html');
var sep_height = div = $('#content').height();
$('.seperator').css('height', height);
Thanks for any help

[jQuery] Best of both jquery validate and jqueryyav
Hi
I have a dilema between jquery validate and jqueryyav.
I am using validate which offers great flexibility in the error placement,
because I can pass a function to it :
errorPlacement: function(error, element){
jqueryYAV offers the implies that I need, but I cannot pass a function to
the error placement.
Its showError method looks like that :
evalText = jQuery('#+ objError.id +'). + params.errorPosition +
(\ +
+ params.errorTag + class='+params.errorClass+' +
objError.msg + / + params.errorTag +
+ \);
Is there a miracle solution ? ;-)
Will implies be integrated anytime soon in validate ?
Is jqueryYAV's code easily hackable in order to pass a function to the
errorPosition ?
-Olivier
PS: here is my actual errorPlacement code just to let know the sort of thing
I'm doing :
errorPlacement: function(error, element){
element.after(div class=\error_exclamation_mark\/divdiv
class=\errorBox clearfix\div
class=\errorBoxTitle\Error/div/div);
$left = element.offset
().left+element.width()+element.next(.error_exclamation_mark).width();
$top = element.offset().top;
element.siblings(div.errorBox).css('position',
'absolute').css('left', $left).css('top', $top);
error.appendTo(element.siblings(div.errorBox));
if ($.browser.msie) element.wrap(div
id=\wrap_select_for_ie\/div);

[jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.1.4 incompatible with Interface 1.2
Interface isn't really being maintained anymore. As jQuery has updated to new versions more and more interface issues have emerged. because interface isn't being updated you only have 3 options: 1) Stick with an older version of jQuery 2) Wait for the new ui library to replace Interface 3) Muddle through as best you can with the minimal features of interface that you absolutely must have and that you can verify still work with the latest jQuery For example the only part of Interface I'm still using is idrag for draggables. I wanted to use the sliders but they don't work very well and from 1.1.3 they didn't work at all in IE. So I've been using drag and building my own sliders on top of that.

You messed up a usual closure with jQuery document.ready method:
Use:
$(document).ready(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
or the shortcut (which looks similiar to yours but isn't):
$(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
And together with the self executing anonymous function you have:
(function($) {
$(function() {
// DOM is ready
});
})(jQuery);

The position of the

pass jQuery transversing
and manipulation functions (after, before, prepend,). The rest
(the error visualization) can
be set using CSS. You can also play with error elements after the
validation process using onError
function.
As I see, your code seems show the error in a layer box. This example
with jQuery.YAV can help

Hi Konstantin,
To add HTML content immediately following that script tag, you
wouldn't need to know the parent element. Instead, you could try
something like this:
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').after('divYour HTML/div');
That particular example (using a div) would only work if the script

To find the parent of that script, you could do this:

Hi,

This is the thing...
1. i have to fill a select optgroup with its options.
2. Filling the optgroup is okay, but with the options this works well
with firefox:
$(category[title:contains(\' + $optionGroup + \')]/...
where optionGroup is the optgroup label taken from the category/title
e.g. new journey text from the xml.
3. Look at this link: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors
i used this $(li[a:contains('Register')]); method.
4. It works well with firefox but doesn't work at all with IE.
So any idea how can i solve this problem?

[jQuery] Form Input Lookup
Hello, please do excuse my lack of knowledge with JS and JQuery but i
have attempted to avoid everything JS for many years as i just did not
like it.
Although JQuery did make some simple aspects more manageable i still
try to avoid it... but sadly now i need to work with AJAX to make
aspects of a project more simple for its users :D
I am currently trying to create a Username Look up function with
JQuery and i am trying to learn how to do this by hacking up the
jquery.autocomplete plugin i stumbled apon via pengoworks.com.
But i feel im failing as i dont quite understand what is happening
with the script and this means im not really learning anything along
the way - which is not good for me in the long run as i would like to
finally get my head around JS ;)
So if someone would like to step me in the right direction to what i
need to look at for creating a simple JQuery plugin/function that
would allow me to
1: Grab the value of a form input
2: Grab results of a .php page via AJAX ( $.get()?? )
3: Check through the AJAX results ( should i return the data as JSON?
or just | it? )
4: If there is a match / likeness for what is in the form input
addClass('error') IF NOT addClass('accept')
Quite simple really, but with my head my arse regarding JS im not 100%
sure what i should be looking to get through the points.
If someone could just point me to the correct aspects of the API or
Help pages that would be great.
Many thanks for any help and sorry if im just being a twittering
little JS noob :(

This is a classic so to say. By the time of the click handler gets
called k has the value it had at the time of the last loop.
You would need to capture the value in a closure.
But: You can do that more easily with jQuery. First of all, an id in
HTML must not start with a number:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-name
So let's say you're changing the ids accordingly to a-1, a-2 etc.
You can then make better use of selectors and run the matched items
through an each loop (that will take care of the rest):
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]a-]').each(function(i) {
$(this).bind('click', function() {
toggleTab(i);
});
});

[jQuery] Re: Form plugin and error validation
Steve,
If you need that kind of control over the reset then I suggest you use
the resetForm function rather than the resetForm option property. In
your success handler, once you've determined there is no logical error
you, can simply invoke:
$('#myForm').resetForm();

Is there anyway to tell ajaxForm when there is a logical error so that

[jQuery] Re: Form plugin and error validation
Hi mike,
First and foremost, thanks for your reply!
As for the validation, should I return a string such as 'errors' and
eval() it in my success callback? I'm not entirely sure how to let js
know that the server deemed something in the form as a booboo.
Thanks again.

If you need that kind of control over the reset then I suggest you use
the resetForm function rather than the resetForm option property. In
your success handler, once you've determined there is no logical error
you, can simply invoke:
$('#myForm').resetForm();

[jQuery] Re: Form Input Lookup
A Google link? Come on, man. Why even reply?
Phunky, there are autocomplete plugins. You can find them on this page:
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins
I've used and enhanced this one:
http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm
My enhanced version includes the changes listed below. Let me know if you'd
like to use it!
Updates to jquery.autocomplete.js
- You can have a question mark in your Url (will use a instead, in that
case).
- Responses are expected to be Json.
- If there are more results than the number to be displayed, an ellipsis is
shown.
- Added the option displayField. Whatever you specify for this option will
be the field that is displayed in the search results. The default is id.
- Added the option valueField. Specify a string to use as the attribute to
use for the value of the field. The default is id.
- Added the option formFieldForValue. Specify a string that matches the
field you want to use to store the value of the selected item. For example,
#MyHiddenField.
- Took out the caching for now, because it was causing problems and I don't
currently think it's a good idea.
- Added the option onUnknownValueEntered, which is an event called when the
user enters a value that isn't found. The value entered is passed as a
parameter to the function you specify.
- The onItemSelect and onUnknownValueEntered callbacks pass the input field
to you as the second argument (the first being the li).
Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug in moveSelect(step) that allowed an empty list (lis) to be
indexed into, even when the .length was 0.
- Fixed a bug which caused raw Html to be inserted into the autocompleted
field when tabbing when nothing was selected.
- In selectItem(li), I added a line that converts all of the Html entities
(e.g. amp;) to their textual counterparts (e.g. ).

[jQuery] Re: Form plugin and error validation
Steve,
How you handle the server response is entirely up to you of course.
Personally, I like to use json and do something like this:
success: function(json) {
if (json.error) {
// display error
alert(json.error);
}
else {
// process response where json.data is
// something like Thanks for your comment.
$('#myTargetDiv').append(json.data);
}
}
But if your response contains substantial markup then json isn't a
good fit. You need to establish a protocol that is straight-forward
but can scale for your application/website.

time. In IE7, sometimes the section expands as desired, sometimes the page
goes to the link in the href tag. It's like it completely ignores my jQuery
click handler.
Here's the relevant HTML
div class=openComments
a href=Teeth!Comments :4: - View comments/a
/div
(I know the link is bogus, but I'm just testing).
Here's the jQuery code:
$('.openComments a').click(function(){

return false;
});

[jQuery] $(html) error...I think. Please help, I'm stumped!
Hello everyone! My name is Dustin and was hoping I could get a little
help with a JQuery problem I've run into. I just started using JQuery
and have been trying out a little AJAX when I ran into a problem. In
Firefox (using Firebug) I get the error:
ret[i].getElementsByTagName is not a function
r = jQuery.merge( r, ret[i].getElementsByTagName( tag ));
Here is my Javascript code where the error appears to be.
$.ajax({
url: 'CS_AJAX_Server_Responder.cfm',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'html',
timeout: 3,
data:
{Invoice:invoiceNum,Store:storeNum,Div:divNum,invoicevalidate:'true' },
error: function(){
$('#loadingimg').fadeOut(slow);
alert('Error accessing server. Please try again.');
},
success: function(html){
$('#loadingimg').fadeOut(slow);
alert('test message');
$(html).find('#invoice').each(function(){
var invalidDiv = $(this).text();
alert(invalidDiv);
});
}
});
}
}
My server side code is very simple.
ulli id=invoiceinvalid/li/ul
The error appears to be caused by $(html).find() but I really do not
have a clue as to why. Once I remove the $(html).find() code it no
longer throws the error. The frustrating thing is that I had
everything working yesterday but it does not work any longer and I
have no idea what I changed that could have led to this error. In IE I
don't get any error but it doesn't proceed through the code like
normal. Please, any insight and help would be appreciated...this has
been driving me up the wall.

[jQuery] Re: Graceful degradation (Safari 2)
I was wondering why jquery would not automatically do a browser sniff,
and fall back to methods that non-supported browsers understand.
Instead of me doing the browser checking, why doesn't jquery do this
for me?
For example, something like this within the show, or animate methods:
if ( $.browser.safari parseFloat($.browser.version) 2 ) {
var theobj = document.getElementById(showlayer);
theobj.style.display = block;
}
Would this browser sniffing significantly increases file size? Is this
the reason why jquery does not do this?

instead of returning and doing nothing?
I think this would be a great advantage if jquery could do this, i
would like to know why jquery does not support graceful degradation.
Thank you for any comments.
[jQuery] Ajax .load
Is it possible to execute java after an ajax .load ? I have a page where I use .load to pull in an external page. The java code on the external page doesn't load or fire when it loads inside the new page. Is the .load event just for loading HTML only ? I'm very new to jquery and java in general, so I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong command.

The problem seems to be that IE strips script and

and
firefox doesn't...
I'm shocked that this issue isn't noticed or

more, but I guess I'm just too new to this to know
these kinds of things.
Does anyone know a way to force this behavior to

I am using the latest JQuery from the download

What I have is a full webpage that I am
dynamically
injecting some HTML into via $.load(...) and
that
injected bit has a style and script block. On
FireFox
it seems that that scripts and styles get
activated,
but on IE is doesn't. For example if I put a

when
the
page loads, but on IE I don't.
To be honest this is a huge difference in
behavior, so
I figure I can't be the only one that ran into

of

[jQuery] Re: Best of both jquery validate and jqueryyav
Hi
So far I have been able to make custom error boxes with the following code:
$(.error).each(function(i, n){
$formElement = $(n).next('input, select');
$offset = $formElement.offset();
$left =
$offset.left+$formElement.width()+$formElement.parent().next(.error_exclamation_mark).width();
$top = $offset.top;
$(n).wrap(div class=\errorBox
clearfix\/div);
$(n).before('div
class=\errorBoxTitle\Error/div');
$formElement.after('div
class=\error_exclamation_mark\/div');
$formElement.wrap('div
class=\errorFormElement/div');
$(n).parent(.errorBox).css('position',
'absolute').css('left', $left).css('top', $top);
});
Open issues with that are :
- the code is being runned each time I hit the submit button, so the error
boxes are are duplicated.
I dont know how to make it run just once.
-my dimension code get some positions wrong, I cant tell where it comes
from.
But that is peanuts compared to the pain of getting the implies rules to
work.
I just broke my head on that the whole afternoon and feel very frustrated.
The rules syntax seem easier on the yav website.
Sevir, you may want to add examples on your website.
If I can give some constructive critics:
-The code in the alt attribute may be indented. its just too long to read.
-Each example should have only one specific thing: for instance
http://projects.sevir.org/storage/yav/relationships.html
that page demonstrates a relation + a custom rule.
Ok, that's what I can say for now, my brain is smoking ;-(

The position of the

pass jQuery transversing

(the error visualization) can
be set using CSS. You can also play with error elements after the
validation process using onError
function.
As I see, your code seems show the error in a layer box. This example
with jQuery.YAV can help

I notice you are running an each method when the find is looking for an
id (#invoice). This implies that you are looping over multiple elements
with the same id. This will mess things up as it is invalid to have
multiple elements with the same id. Try using invoice as a class rather
than an id in your html.

In my opinion (and only my opinion) i think that it is kinda disturbing if we hover on one item and immediately if we hover on another item, the accordian doesn't open for the second item. I think that the interface should always be responsive to the user. If the mouse is over a menu it should activate. The animation is really just an 'extra'. The ability to navigate a web site by accessing the menu items is of paramount importance. One possible solution might be to offer either behavior as an option.

For example, | --jquery-1.1.4.js:1604- | // check if target is a textnode (safari) | if (jQuery.browser.safari event.target.nodeType == 3) |event.target = originalEvent.target.parentNode; Why not just: if (event.target.nodeType == 3) event.target = originalEvent.target.parentNode; ?

I agree that people like the animation effects. I'm all for them.

I don't think so - in the case where it isn't broken then nothing bad will result. The correction will not execute. In fact, it's less code to take the better approach. And how do you know it's not broken in another browser, and will never be broken in any future browser? Fixing it only in the case you know about right now is short-sighted and completely unnecessary. Experienced Javascript developers could look at the cited code and use it as a reason to question the coding in the library. What if another browser comes out that breaks when this fix is applied? Is that even possible? And even if it somehow is, isn't it far less likely than another browser coming out that has the same problem but won't execute the fix because you've limited it to only safari?

I do have some comments, and this is not just you but nearly all the web 2.0 sites: - No Javascript Since it depends on JavaScript, and you don't want to make it work in web 1.0, then add the following: noscript This site requires JavaScript to be enabled! /noscript That is easy to fix and I will add it. There was some thought I might create a version that did require JS but I can see now that is the impossible dream. It is really odd to see a site go gun-ho with a fancy like web 2.0. It must it taking alot of work, yet, they don't do some basic fundamentals. - Font Size Scaling Don't assume one size fits all. For me, my eyes are not like it use to be. So many times I hit ctrl + a few times to increase the size.. Many sites don't scale correctly when the fonts change. Plus, it really looks fantastic to be able to increase the web site font size on a large flat screen! You would be able to demo your web site and people see it from a distance. :-) I have the same complaint about sites using fonts that are too hard to read. Honestly I have not been thinking about eyes and I better start today. Can you offer any words of wisdom on what I need to do to scale well. Does it mean using ems instead of points? I dont know much about ems and not sure I understand them enough to do it right. What happens when the font is too big for its container? Like I didnt design the tabs or accordion and I dont know how to scale them. For your web site, 1) why restrict the width size? Make it work with 2 4 or 5% left and width margins. I definitly want to restrict the width because this is a control panel like environment, not a web site. Its more like Flash. I need to know where text is precisely for this to work. That is why the height is fixed too. 2) You will see the run off in tab 1 if you don't auto-fit the content. What do you mean here but run off How do I see that? 3) Tab 2 is all messy when the font size has changed. More below with tab 2. I just did moved the font size around and I am surprised at how little is wrong with it. I didnt know that radio buttons owuld enlarge when you make the font larger but of course that makes sense now. I dont see how I can do that if the width is fixed. 4) Tab 3 is perfect, It scales correctly (but will look better if the width was wider). It better look good. All that is there is a single paragraph of text. About tab 2, very nice looking, but there is so much. The whole goal of this was to get it on one screen so that is why its the way it is. I probably have gone a little overboard but I cant get rid of a lot of stuff on that page and still have it make sense. - Make it work in full screen! This is a debatable issue. I think full screen would look weird but I am open to seeing it. - Maybe another tab? You could put History on another tab, but the beauty is allowing people with large screens see it all. To be honest if I had to do this all over again I might use a drag and drop front end where the user could decide what to move and where to put it. I could hide the radio buttons in a drop down menu. - Make the location an accordion too? - How about group it by region - North East States - Mid East States - South East States - North Central States - Mid Central States - South Central States - North West States - Mid West States - South West States Or just North, Mid, South or East, Central, West. If you used region it might work nice as an accordion.
