[jQuery] Re: jQuery problem with setTimeout()
Kali, since we're wondering if this is a jQuery problem, let's find out by
taking jQuery out of the equation. Where the code uses jQuery to load the
message into the #mailSuccess element, we'll just alert it instead - but
we'll call alert in exactly the same way that you're calling jQuery now.
First, I assume there's a typo or two in this code:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout('$("#mailSuccess").html(message) 1000);
and it actually reads:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout('$("#mailSuccess").html(message)', 1000);
}
Correct?
So let's change it to:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout('alert(message)', 1000);
}
That doesn't work either, does it? This helps narrow it down: it's not a
jQuery problem, so it must be a problem in this little bit of code itself.
What's wrong? When you call setTimeout with a text string, that code gets
executed *in the global scope*, i.e. just like code that is outside of any
function at all. Your message variable is local to the successHome function,
so code running in the global scope can't see it.
Instead of passing a string to setTimeout, it's almost always better to pass
a function. An inline anonymous function is often used:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout( function() {
alert(message);
}, 1000 );
}
Now the code will work as you expect, because the inner function has access
to the variables of the outer function.
Going back to the jQuery code, it would be:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout( function() {
$("#mailSuccess").html(message);
}, 1000 );
}

[jQuery] Re: jQuery problem with setTimeout()
I solved this, BUT:
another weird problem:
var message is passed to the function, so I have:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout('$("#mailSuccess").html(message) 1000);
but it says 'message' is not defined
only this works:
function successHome(message) {
setTimeout('$("#mailSuccess").html("Your email has been sent.Thank
you.");', 1000);
this is so bizarre
if I do:
function successHome(message) {
alert(message);// no probl here
// but here:
setTimeout('$("#mailSuccess").html(message);', 1000);
// it says 'message is not defined'
???

[jQuery] Hover elements in wrong state once page finishes loading
Sorry if this has been addressed before -- it's a hard issue to
describe.
The page in question:
http://testing.ericprice.cc
The code in question:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".teaser").hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("hovered").find(".thumbnail").stop(true,
true).slideDown(100);
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass("hovered").find(".thumbnail").stop(true,
true).slideUp(200);
});
});
The problem:
http://testing.ericprice.cc/problem.png
What I'm seeing is that if you move your mouse around the thumbnails
before all of the page elements finish loading (which you might have
to do rather quickly if you have a fast connection), once the page
finishes loading, some of them will suddenly appear in their "slid-
down" state despite not being hovered over. This happens in both
Safari and Firefox, and only seems to happen when I'm using the
slideDown/slideUp effects -- hide/show doesn't cause the same issue.
Any thoughts? I've already tried .mouseover/.mouseout and .bind
instead of .hover, but to no avail.

[jQuery] Swittching between innerfade slide shows
I have a page with links to a couple of slide shows implemented using the innerfade plugin. I prefer this plugin because it gives smoother transitions between images than I have been able to achieve using the cycle plugin. I would like to disable the innerfade when switching between slide shows. (I do not want to hide the div and have innerfade running burning up cpu cycles) The plugin does not provide a removeInnerfade function. Is there a way to remove innerfade from a div. Thanks, -john
[jQuery] Re: The jQuery Prototype Object and Working with Others' jQuery Plug-Ins
Hey guys,
On the topic of namespacing, I have also found 'pollution' of the core
a problem. I recently worked for a company that had over 30 plugins
and I did run in to conflicting problems, especially with jQuery UI,
which is one reason I stay away from it amongst others.
If you are interested I've created a way to add namespacing to jQuery
whilst still using 'this' as DOM array. Currently, it only goes 1
level deep, but I have found it extremely usefull. Instead of:
$('div').dialog('open');
you could go:
$('div').dialog().open();

[jQuery] Changing droppable accept or scope dynamically in the "drag" callback.
I've tried about everything and can't get the results I need. Basically I have some draggables in a movable div (pane). When I'm over the pane I only want the draggable to be droppable on elements in the pane (and have a visual cue as such). When I move beyond the pane I only want the draggable to be droppable on elements on a background div the size of the window behind the pane. Right now if I drop on a droppable in the pane and there is a droppable behind the pane they both get the drop call. I'm setting up the droppables in the "start" callback of the draggable. I've tried changing the accept on the droppables outside the pane in the "drag" callback, when the draggable crosses outside the pane boundary. I can't seem to change the accept on droppables dynamically from within the drag callback. They seem locked to the state when the drag first started. I've also tried changing the scope of the draggable (and also tried it on the droppables) from within the "drag" callback, when the draggable crosses outside the pane boundary. The scope doesn't seem to change dynamically when called from within the "drag" callback. They also seem locked to the state when the drag first started. I would really like the activeClass cue to change dynamically when I cross the pane boundary as well. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make this work. Thanks, -ml
