[jQuery] problems with filter() a variable ajax response

[Mathew]

I ma having trouble with this for a few hours and thought id post to
see if i can get help.
I am trying to use ajax to load an element from another page. i can
see the response and the id element i am looking for inside but i can
get nothing but a null value trying to extract the html()
im using variations of this:
jQuery.ajax({

url: 'index.php?
option=com_resource&view=list&category_id=9&user_id=64&layout=useritems&view_what=created&Itemid=0',

timeout: 0,

error: function() {

  console.log("Failed to submit");

},

success: function(lt) {

  //alert(r);
var ltm = jQuery(lt);
var cone = ltm.filter("#jsc_leftbody").html();
jQuery("#contentPut").html(''+cone+'');
alert(cone);


}

  });


i dont know why but i always gets null vlaue anyone know why?

cool little chunk of code, thanks for sharing. I did something like this 
for sets of trimpath templates (js/html templates), never thought to do 
it for scripts. Nice.

Perfect.  Thank you, I did try using a $.get request but I was tyring
to replace charecters instead of injecting the data as text.  This is
exactly what I was trying to do.  I thought there was a very simple
and clean way to do it but I wasn't sure how.  Thank you much!

[jQuery] Re: Get text of external HTML and encode

[Abdullah Rubiyath]

Hi There,

If I am getting this right.. you are trying to get the contents of
another file and inject it into an element, but ensuring it shows as
plain text and javascripts are not executed.

Can you try replacing $('#thisDiv').load with a $.get request and do
the following:

$.get('../sample.html', function(data) {
   $('#thisDiv').text( data );
});

With this approach,  the html entities (<,&,> etc.) will be converted
to their appropriate characters and then injected to $('#thisDiv').

I hope this helps,

Thanks,
Abdullah.

If you get the developer build, each of the files is separated out
into a: ui.core.js, ui.draggable.js, etc format. If you want to add a
bit of spice:

$.uinclude = function(){

[jQuery] Re: effect similar to windows task bar in auto-hide mode

[Nikola]

Check out the amazing jQuery UI Layout plugin.  Go through the demos,
I'm sure you can keep the south pane hidden and then show it on
hover.  Conversly, you could always use a fixed position DIV at the
bottom of the page, hide it and then on hover use something like
slideUp to show it..

Hi. I'm new to JQuery.

It works perfectly for Firefox and Chrome, however, none of the

[jQuery] DOM Rendering is not finished before ThickBox tried to display = Grey Screen

[Jim D]

Hi. I have a problem of getting a "grey screen" instead of grey screen
with JQuery ThickBox on top of that.
I need to open ThickBox on page load.
It seems that sometimes! DOM is not finished when ThickBox is trying
to modify it.

Here is a code I have at the end of my .jsp file (showWarning() just
opens a ThickBox)



formElement = document.shippingRulesArrayForm;
window.onLoad=window.setTimeout("showWarning()", 1400);


Note: even if I put this code in footer, it still sometimes gives a
grey screen.

[jQuery] Superfish Firefox Problem: No Show

[anole]

The site below has a vertical superfish jquery menu that was working
fine in FF and IE when I last posted it.

Today, I re-arranged the menu items, and I'm not getting any of the
fly-out s in Firefox only.  Hovering just gives me the mouse-over
color changes for the element itself.  I don't know if the re-
arranging of the menu items did it, though, because some pages that
have not changed are no longer working.

I know the commented-out sections of the menu are sloppy, but there is
a lot of information pending that I didn't want to start from scratch
on.  Sorry.  And it *was* working - even with this mess - until
recently.

Anyone have any ideas as to where to look?

Thank you in advance...

[jQuery] dynamically reload your data in json (for categorical filtering)

[craig mcrae, interactive developer @ roundarch]

What's going on here?

We're pulling in a json object with all of our data (itemListMaster)
and keeping a record of it to parse data from later and populate our
default json object (itemList). I'll comment in the code below to
explain what's going on.

### the code ###


var mycarousel_itemListMaster = [...]; //pull in/assign the data here
var mycarousel_itemList = [...]; //same as above
var carouselObj;//global object for your carousel

//this is the function we will be using to reload our carousel with
new data
function reloadCarousel(myCatCode){
mycarousel_itemList = []; //clear out the array
var jQList = mycarousel_itemListMaster; //get the number of items
from the master list to iterate through in order to find a matching
category

var counter = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < jQList.length; i++){
if (mycarousel_itemListMaster[i].catCode == myCatCode){ //check 
for
match in array with category code
mycarousel_itemList[counter] = 
mycarousel_itemListMaster[i]; //once
a match is found add it to your new array
counter++;
}
}

carouselObj.reset(); // reset the carousel object with the new data
}

//this is where we assign the carousel object to our new global
variable
function mycarousel_initCallback(carousel)
{
carouselObj = carousel;
}


jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#mycarousel').jcarousel({
wrap: 'circular',
initCallback: mycarousel_initCallback,
itemVisibleInCallback: {onBeforeAnimation:
mycarousel_itemVisibleInCallback},
itemVisibleOutCallback: {onAfterAnimation:
mycarousel_itemVisibleOutCallback}
});

reloadCarousel(mycarousel_itemListMaster[0].catCode); //we add
this line to the default code in order to display the content related
to the first category in our list of categories. you can remove this
to display all of your content on the initial load.

[jQuery] [treeview] nodes in firefox 3 won't collapse

[Joseph Cocco]

some basic info:
jQuery: 1.3.2
Plugin: Jörn Zaefferer's Treeview plugin (1.4.1)
coding with asp.net c#

We are building out the HTML for the treeview in the codebehind, and
then adding it to the innerHTML of a UL already on the page.  This has
not given us any issues in IE.  The treeview renders perfectly, there
are no issues with expanding and collapsing nodes.

However, in Firefox 3, nodes will expand, but not collapse.  I did
some digging, and noticed the height of the UL was 0px.  So I set the
height of the UL to 1px (just to give it a non zero value), and
collapsing then worked fine in FF.  But then I went back to IE, and
now all the text is on top of each other because I set the height of
the UL to 1px.

I know Treeview works in FF, because I saw it working in the demos.  I
have also tried this with a list already in the markup, thinking there
was a problem with creating the HTML in the code behind, but I get the
same results.

Hopefully this explanation is clear.  If you guys need any more
information, let me know.  I really appreciate the help...  Thanks!

[jQuery] Closing Ajax Requests

[Sam]

I couldn't find anything on this in the jQuery documentation. Is there
a way to close all jQuery ajax requests? I've built a bit of comet-
like long polling ajax script, but it seems as though Internet
Explorer is keeping these long polling requests open when I refresh or
redirect to another page. Sense IE has a 2 connections per domain
limit, the client would have to wait till the long polling is complete
(which takes roughly 1 minute) before the other pages load. So what I
need is a way to stop all ajax requests so I can place it in a
onbeforeunload event.

Anyone know of a way that I can stop all jQuery ajax requests?

[jQuery] How to get Superfish to display outside frameset boundary

[DaveT]

I am developing a horizontal menu bar using Superfish. I have
configured it using a simple file, no problems, now I am trying to
integrate it into my site.

The site uses frames (can't get around it) for a header, TOC, body.
The menu bar is in the top "header" frame, right at the bottom of the
frame.

Unfortunately, the Superfish menu popup does not appear because it is
"cut off" or clipped by the frame it's in. I tried the bgiframe plugin
in hopes it would work, but it didn't (probably not what it's for I
guess).

So is there any way to make a menu like this to display over its frame
boundaries?

Appreciate any help!

[jQuery] A silly question from a newbie

Hello.
I have a page that loads another page and I want to change the height of an

$("#main").css("height","111px")
});


That doesn't work, #main is inside #page.

Thanks in advance!

[jQuery] Thank you John Resig

[Geuis]

I just want to say, thank you John. I have been developing sites with
jQuery for the better part of a year and it has just made the amount
of work I can get done sky rocket. Now, however, I just started a new
job this week and they are using YUI.

I have been patient and have spent the better part of 5 days trying to
do the most basic things the YUI-way and I'm falling flat on my damned
face. I have actually resorted to writing code using basic DOM api
functions simply because YUI is so frakking hard to use. Their
documentation is all over the map. They have multiple sub-libraries to
do the most basic thing like DOM selections and manipulation. Should I
be using YAHOO.util.Selector, or YAHOO.util.Dom.get, or
YAHOO.util.Element.getByElementId( or TagNames, or ClassNames).
CHRIST!

oh, the joy of $('#my id, .someclass, div>p)

I think people that insist on their work being hard must be aliens.
That's about the only explanation that I can come up with.

Good god, are there any ex-YUI people that found the goodness of
jQuery that can point me at a coherent tutorial for this pile of crap
called YUI?

[jQuery] Re: Is there a way to get a link to submit like a button?

[Rick Faircloth]

Well.it's a little complicated in that the form submission is interrupted

by jQuery code which generates an iframe on the calling page, then

the post is to a cfc method which processes and image and the data

and sends that data back to be added to a div.

 

It's the "upload and view a file via ajax utilizing an iframe" bit.

 

The initial form on the calling page isn't actually submitted, but has the

method and other attributes added by the jQuery.  The method of the

form is "post", and a button works fine, but the link won't cause the

processing to occur properly.  I've worked this all the ways I can think

of, but can't get that link to cause the process to occur properly.

 

Maybe just the simple addition of "return false;" will cure the problem.

I had that in one iteration, but took it back out.

 

I'll try it again.

 

Thanks, Charlie.

If your  tag has a method="post" attribute, adding a
('#myForm').submit() to the click event of the link should submit the form
via post.  Don't forget to return false; to prevent the default link
behavior (attempting to follow the link)

[jQuery] Re: Get text of external HTML and encode

Thanks MorningZ, I gave this approach whirl and in a roundabout sort
of way it seems to accomplish the same thing I was doing in my third
example.

$("#thisDiv").load("../sample.html", { }, function() {
var div = document.createElement("div");
var text = document.createTextNode($("#thisDiv").html());
div.appendChild(text);
var EscapedHTML = div.innerHTML;
$("#thisDiv").text(EscapedHTML);
});

text. I'm able to do this, with HTML, but I'm unable to prevent the
javascipt in the HTML from executing.  My goal is to write a simple

[jQuery] Re: jQuery and Ruby on Rails

[Matt Quackenbush]

jQuery is client side.  Ruby is server side.  jQuery (or any JavaScript) is
completely incapable of setting a Ruby (or any server-side language)
variable.  However, you can use jQuery's $.ajax() method to send an
asynchronous request to the server, passing along the variable value.  Check
the jQuery docs for details on the $.ajax() method.

[jQuery] Re: Get text of external HTML and encode

Does the ".load()" at least work?

-  Your first method -
$("#thisDiv").text("<").replaceWith("<");

that's going to fill "#thisDiv" with "<"


-  Your second method ---
$("#thisDiv").text().html();

is going to be a string value after ".text()" and would throw an error
because there is no ".html()" method on a string object


- Your third attempt ---
Would have worked, except you are missing the fact that the ".load"

$("#thisDiv").load("../sample.html", { }, function() {
var div = document.createElement("div");
var text = document.createTextNode($("#thisDiv").html());
div.appendChild(text);
var EscapedHTML = div.innerHTML;

As already mentioned above, the only thing you will need for tabs to
work is the following rule:

.ui-tabs-hide {
 display: none !important;
}

So the only thing that's imposed here seems to be our free time spent
to help creating a rock-solid ui library. I won't go into detail why
we chose to use a class for hiding tab content.

[jQuery] [validate] Tips on multi field validation - Composite unique constraint

[Ted]

I have this working, but not the most user friendly.  The case is
there is a combination of fields that must meet a criteria, uniqueness
in this case.  The problem I am finding is that the rules are all
attached to fields, where this case really applies to the form in
general.

In this example, an end user is adding a Member record.  A member is a
combination of a User and a Group.  Users can join many groups, groups
have many users.  A user cannot join the same group twice, so the
alternate, natural key to the Member database table is usr_id,
group_id.

The form has fields with id of user and group.

While it does work, when an error is detected, the field you just
changed is marked with the error.  The other field in the pair is not
marked as being invalid.  If I go and change the other field to make a
valid combination, the other field still shows as being in the error
state.

Looking for ideas to implement an N field validation nicely.  (I used
a ClassRule for single field unique checks, but that doesn't help
here.)

Thanks,

Ted

[jQuery] Re: FadeIn/Out mulitple images in one container

[Zachariah]

I've solved this issue before using absolutely positioned divs.
by having (in this case) three absolutely positioned divs within
#lakeview-placeholder, each with the correct img src inside,
you could hide two and leave one visible (using classes maybe). Then
animate the fades to either crossfade or callback (fadeout then
fadein).

Another option would be to use the cycle plugin with novel use of the
pager function. Example here: http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html

Thanks for the reply.  However, the examples link only shows static

I understand how to initialize multiple carousels on a page, but not
multiple dynamic ones.  Each one needs to pull from a different array.
I'm just trying to get an idea of what I need to modify so that each
carousel pulls from a different array of items.

[jQuery] Re: Append asterisk to required field labels

[Baum]

James,

Maybe it is a question of timing?

When I hard-coded class="required" on the input fields I received the
desired effect. However, I want to get this effect based on business
rules on my object model.

Version 1.3.2 that comes as part of the asp.net mvc releases does not
contain any changes to the code. Something I forgot to mention (did
more research) and the xVal code adds the class="required" attribute
via the addClass method to the input field at runtime based on jQuery
validation (addon?) rules. I have verified using Firebug that the
class is being applied to the elements correctly.
