[jQuery] Re: Creating an OS Web Interface in jQuery (Part I)

2008-12-16 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux

Rick, I read the tutorial in its entirety before commenting. This
document lacks structure and not only that, I could have pointed the
many english mistakes, because obviously this was written quite fast,
and i'm sure with a little more care and some more mindset framing, it
should be perfect. I don't know what you consider a tutorial, but as
for me, a tutorial means something meant to teach. In this document,
adam shows obvious skills, but does not teach, hence i'd call this a
demo.
I meant to be constructive because he shows a lot of enthusiasm and
that's his strength. But telling him this tutorial is perfect won't
help him improve, nor the jquery community as a whole.

hope this helps clarify my comments.

Best,

Alexandre

 I may seem a bit dense, but what's the objective here?  And is 'OS'
 Operating System, Open Source, something else?  Maybe Part 2 clears
 all this up, but some intro/background would help a lot.

On a side note: replace all your div#myid by #myid, it will give a
performance boost, since you'll then be using the getElementById
instead of first selecting all divs, then finding the one with the id.

 As the CMS, that's the purpose I'm using it. One for seeing already
 existing 'pages' and stuff, and two for file management (when linking
 to stuff, inserting images etc). Although I find it much easier that
 normal treeview navigation, I am not sure if others agree as I haven't

   that implementing useful features that exist on Mac's Finder (search,

   You can find the plugin ( demo) here:

   I hope the source code is readable and self-explanatory, I did comment

   release, I've just included a link to the script in the demo page, and
   a link to a zip file that contains the demo page along with css

[jQuery] Re: jQuery.uploader released: Flash based jQuery uploader

2008-12-08 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux

Methen,

heil to a fellow php coder: )

you need to use the callbacks provided by gilles'script, especially these ones:

http://jquery.webunity.nl/jQuery.uploader/docs/callbacks#fileUploadStarted

fileUploadStarted callback will launch when the upload actually start,
so theer, feed it with a function that displays your animation gif
image.

fileUploadProgress callback will send you a regular update about the progress.


fileUploadCompleted callback will be triggered when the upload is
finished: feed it with a function that takes care of removing the
animation image (or whatever please wait message you display)

clearer ?

 happening and then when its all done be able to to hide the spinning
 doodad.  Am I making sense?  I don't need anything so fancy as a
 progress indicator though that might be cool.

 What would that look like as an addition to the upload image example

 I apologize for the likely silly questions.  I'm more of a PHP coder

indeed, that's what i meant. the confusion between two pages:

http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects

and

http://docs.jquery.com/Effects

 I realized in the meanwhile effects.js is different and does not rely
on ui.core.js

i would propose to organize a one-entrydoor page for Effects.
example structure

1./ built-in effects available in jquery

2./ additional effects available in effects.js


This is meant as a constructive comment: don't get me wrong, i really
find jquery documentation to be very helpful as a whole, it's just
this one accessdoor that is, for me, a bit confusing.

hi Brice,

the sigmoid curve feels right, so that's an improvement. Yet the
scrolling remains too harsh IMHO. strange...

(btw, i'm on FF3.0.3, winxpSP2 with an above average computer hardware )

 Alexandre,

  That's a VERY COOL effect. I think I could mimick that
 functionality, although would need to add callback support to
 jqRevolve FIRST, and then spend some time writing some *very special*
 callback code for the effects and size/posistion calculations. Should
 be FUN :)

  In the meantime; I have revised the codebase, and released +r2.

  The new version includes smoother scrolling with sigmoid function
 pressure calculation as well as improvments under FF and Linux. Please
 let me know if the scrolling is smoother on your end.

 In blockui doc, there is a nice simple way to systematize its use:

 It took me about 15-30 seconds to get used to it, and then it's
 absolutely cool ! Understanding the navigation is like a reward, and I
 don't regret it. My only bad point would be the extremes left and

 So far, so simple.

 Currently, I'm hiding all the submenu UL's on load:

 an LI containing an A with a class of selected.

 To rephrase: if any of the A elements (which are all inside an LI

 want the UL to remain expanded.

 To rephrase even more: I don't want to hide the subnav containing the

Hi Alexandre,

very interesting approach, this internal dialog that you report. Thanks for it.

I could propose a short introduction to address this initial what
now?. Basically, what needs to be said is :

 move your mouse over the barcode lines to access lisa pram's photo
sets. You can use the keywords on top to filter out the type of work
you are more interested in. The bottom line navigator is the complete
list of albums organised in a line of clickable rectangles, of which
width indicates the number of images it contains. Enjoy the visuals. 


For the arrows, it might still change, so we'll see...

 Hi,
 Your page loads pretty well here (about 10 sec for all).
 The afterload impression is quite what now ?, then a random click,
 and uh... ok, lets try to understand this bizarre thing. Half of the
 visitors should abandon here, since they are lazy to make any effort
 by themselves. I honestly would have been one of them if it wasn't for
 testing.
 It took me about 15-30 seconds to get used to it, and then it's
 absolutely cool ! Understanding the navigation is like a reward, and I
 don't regret it. My only bad point would be the extremes left and
 right doors needed to switch photos one by one, which I deplore the
 design choice, but it's only a matter of taste.
 If the visitor is really here to discover the work, I think he will
 enjoy the session.

hi ricardo,

here is my try at it, let me know if it is better. What i did is :

- load the first image of each set (as it is needed for the hover state)
- use a placeholder.gif file put as src attribute value for all
images,  the real src being stored as a custom attribute
(realsrc=http://path/to/my/image.jpg; ) and on album selection,
replace each of the album images src attribute with the realsrc value.

[jQuery] Re: Script like this site: http://ringvemedia.com/

2008-10-30 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux

i think there is first and foremost a clever use of CSS, because if i
disable javascript, the effect is still there. Anyway, what's nice is
this proportional resizing of the image, according to the viewport
dimensions.

Then, the relevant code is this:

kina = {
doc: { x: 0, y: 0 },
fix: function()
{
if (kina.bg.complete  (db.offsetWidth != kina.doc.x ||
db.offsetHeight != kina.doc.y || kina.fix.src != kina.bg.src))
{
var bg = kina.bg.getSize();
kina.doc = { x: db.offsetWidth, y: db.offsetHeight };
kina.fix.src == kina.bg.src || $extend(kina.fix, { p: bg.x
/ bg.y, src: kina.bg.src });
kina.bg.setStyles({ width: (bg.y = kina.doc.x  (bg.x =
Math.round(kina.doc.y * kina.fix.p))) ? kina.doc.x : bg.x, height:
bg.y ? Math.round(kina.doc.x / kina.fix.p) : kina.doc.y });
}
}
}


kina.bg is an image available in the DOM.  kina.db is the document.body .

hi mindstormkid,

thank you for the feedback! According to your comment and christoph's
comment about the loading time: it's a photographer 's portfolio site,
it is bound to be image-heavy.
So why then load them all up toether instead of streaming them? The
barcode cannot work with only partial images. So what i'm thinking is
to use the loading time to actually explain what will come up next as
rotating text messages. I also am considering displaying each image as
a thumbnail once it's loaded. So basically, work on the preloading
phase so that it communicates much more.

thanks and keep them coming!

h Ricardo

thanks a lot for the thorought report.

Are the galleries dynamic? If they are not you could just
cache/hardcode the bar sizes and then load on demand, or just make the
bar sizes relative to the number of pictures, not their dimension.

 that's actually something that could be possible, i'll have to test if it 
 can be a solution. in fact i only need the first image of each set (the one 
 shown on hover), the rest could be loaed on demand.
the galleries are dynamic (just wished i could show you the beautiful
/ ergonomic CMS behind but it's private zone :) ) . but the CMS
produces a static output and an xml. The xml is loaded in a noscript
tag for non javascript users, and the json is loaded by the rest of
us, who have javascript enabled.

5. the right/left arrows are too discrete and look quirky, a simple
styled arrow without the vertical bar would be more beautiful and
useful

 they were actually designed by the customer, and i personally find them 
 quite good looking but it's all amount to taste in the end. and you know, 
 it's just arrows. Once you know they are there, you won' spend much time

 Hi Alex,

 Glad to see you managed to iron the bugs out.

 But as I said before, load time is definitely a huge downside to the
 website. Are the galleries dynamic? If they are not you could just
 cache/hardcode the bar sizes and then load on demand, or just make the
 bar sizes relative to the number of pictures, not their dimension.
 Took about 30 seconds to load here too (4mbps) but that is way too
 much waiting to expect from regular users.

 Some points on the interface:

 1. It's not clear at first sight that the bars contain pictures,
 specially if you hover the ones that display a solid white/grey/black
 background
 2. some bars are just too thin, that makes navigation clumsy
 3. hover animations could be more responsive, it takes some time to
 start fading the image in, and the expanding animation is too slow,
 gets annoying very soon
 4. there is no indication that the bars on the bottom are an
 alternative set navigation, at first it looks like it's relative only
 to pictures in that set. some coloring in the main 'barcode' and
 repeated on this one could help make the connection clearer.
 5. the right/left arrows are too discrete and look quirky, a simple
 styled arrow without the vertical bar would be more beautiful and
 useful
 6. after entering a set, there is no apparent way back to the home
 page/barcode
 7. clicking the category names at the top is a mistery. I guess it
 adds (underline) or removes (no underline) categories from the
 barcode, but that is far from intuitive and there is no animation, it
 just pops a new barcode instantly

 I know this sounds like 'destroying' the original idea of an
 innovative interface, but you have to make some concessions, I've been
 through that too. It's not like a game where people enjoy discovering
 their way through, in this case it's a stone in their path. Great
 designs for the web are the ones that innovate but still have a
 natural feel to it, there is no guessing or confusion for the end-
 user. I'm sure you can figure it out and get this site closer to
 perfection :)

 Sorry for my negative feedback but this site is close to unusable. I
 accidentally found out that I can navigate between pictures by
 hovering/clicking on an invisible bar below the pictures. Besides it took
 me two minutes to load the site. Usually I give a site 5 to 10 seconds and
 after that just go away. The whole navigation is like mystery meat. I
 wouldn't know how to use it. And I doubt I would usually spend the time to
 find out. Nothing against a well-done site that looks different. But this
 is too much. Even jQuery doesn't help. :)

Yup I second Mike's advise. Make sure first that CSS allows it in a
static demo file, then when you get it to work, you'll know what to
script exactly.

Just a remark $('ul ul li') is not the same as $('ul li'). In the
first case it would only concern li which are inside an ul, inside
another ul (so, excluding first-level ul). Second case concerns all LI
elements.

2008-10-23 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux

With so little data it's hard to really give an advise.

do you populate the content inside the div via an ajax call? Then you
need to bind their click event (after they have been loaded see
livequery plugin), to a function that does ajax calls inside the div

you could also use an iframe (

point to _self.

[jQuery] Re: Modal Window Page Refresh

2008-10-22 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux

depending on which modal window you use, of course.

Personally, I use jqModal, which has a handy onClose callback. I also
had the need to, in some cases, refresh the main page after modal
close. So i added an option variable (boolean) telling if it should
refresh or not after closing the modal.

I wrote a complete how-to here:

http://www.pixeline.be/blog/2008/javascript-loading-external-urls-in-jqmodal-jquery-plugin/

the bit of code you are interested in is:

   if (hash.refreshAfterClose == true)
{
window.location.href = document.location.href;
}

[jQuery] Re: jQuery Uploader Flash player 10 fix

2008-10-21 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux
hi Gilles,

i was about to take the same path: convert YUI uploader into jquery for the
new version of jquploader, because it's simply the best implementation i've
seen so far (kuddos to yahoo). i'll be very interested with what you come up
with.
There is one issue i still lack for a good answer, i'd be interested in your
opinion: say you want to control the uploaded file 's name, for example so
that it does not erase an existing file with the same name: then the
serverside script woudl produce a unique file name, according to a given
logic (timestamp appended, etc), or simply to avoid empty spaces or quote
characters in the name. Is it actually possible that the flash file returns
the serverside-generated file name ?

thanks,

Alexandre

  Guys;
 
  A lot (8) people have allready asked me if i was going to fix the mess
  Adobe made and my answer is yes, i am working on it. This post is to
  assure you that the jQuery Flash based uploader i wrote in 2006 has
  been revived.
 
  The project will no longer be based on swfupload, since i added way to
  much code of my own into it. The new version is (looseley) based upon
  YUI uploader component, and off course i've taken a peek to see what
  FancyUpload does in their code. To be honest; they are both very good
  products and both have their pro's and con's. I am hoping to create a
  project which will be the best of both worlds and more (currently,
  approx. 80% code is my own work)
 
  I've allready put about 10 hours of work in the new jQuery upload
  plugin (which was originally hosted onhttp://uploader.webunity.nl/)
  but unfortunately it is not finished yet. Since i based the startcode
  (e.g. how to create an AS3 movieclip) on YUI, I must abide by their
  license, which is BSD. The uploader plugin (Javascript) is going to be
  included as full source, but the Actionscript file is going to be
  precompiled. This is due to the fact that i simply put to much work in
  it.
 
  Some stuff that i added;
  - A lot more and consistant event handlers
  - A lot more and better logging
  - Multiple simultanous (!!) uploads
 
  And, ported from my old version:
  - Queue managemen
  - Max file size
  - Max queue size
  - Max queue count
 
  The idea is to even make it possible to add files while you are
  allready uploading; sort of background file transfer so to say.
 
  Anyway; i'll hope to finish the Actionscript code tomorrow evening (it
  is now 20:00 here) and the demo's the day after that. Basically; by
  the end of the week you should have some working examples.

 This plugin enables you to display a custom context menu on right

 applications that are simulating desktop behavior or wish to add
 advanced functionality for their users.

 There are other context menu plugins - so why did I write one? This
 one is extremely configurable, customizable, and extensible. If any
 part of the default behavior is not exactly what you need, it is very
 simple to override the default functionality without changing the
 plugin code. Several themes are included so you can display the
 context menus in a style that you pick. Writing your own themes is
 very simple. Understanding and customizing the CSS is straight-forward
 and documented.

 There are many examples showing off lots of the functionality here.
 The best way to see what this plugin can do is to try it out!

[jQuery] Re: JQuery to select rows inside a particular table

2008-10-16 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux
just a bit of explanation on what you tried and why it didn't work:
 $('#myTable  tr');

means select TR tags immediately () after the TABLE tag, whereas, as karl
rightly pointed out, for browsers, even though you wrote your html as table
 tr, it really is table  tbody tr

whereas

$('#myTable tr');

means: select all TR inside the TABLE tags. No problem if there is a tbody
or not, the TR is in any case inside the table.

also you wrote

table#myTable  it is ok, but it is in fact  a bit slower to process because
there is nothing more efficient that getElementById. If you specify the tag
TABLE, then it first looks for TABLES tags, then check for their id.  so it
is better to use only the ID.

 mouse cursor over the image. This looks cool, but doesn't rank high on

[jQuery] Re: don't understand this bug _ please review code

2008-10-14 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux
hi ricardo, first of all, thank you for your time.
Can you tell me which browser  you used for the test?

preloading the images is necessary because the other alternative would be to
not put the img tags in the dom and feed them via ajax, but then it would
make the website content unaccessible for non javascript browsers.

What i'm thinking is to actually have the img tags, change their src value
to a generic placeholder and store their src attribute value in a dummy
attribute. Then actually loading the images and when loaded, fill their path
back in the src attribute. Don't know if it will work though.

as for my bug, it is indeed what happens when clicking on the keywords that
produces the hickup, but i can't seem to solve it. Still trying...

thanks !

 The grey box is one (or more) of the bars. When you click one of the
 keywords to regenerate the barcode, it starts growing in width. The
 one I looked at went up to 18808px, then shrank back to 33px,
 restoring the barcode - it's a long running function, took around 10
 seconds. I don't have time to look at the code right now, but that
 should give you a clue of what's going on.

 Do you really need to preload all the images? It's a huge hit on the
 server and slows down the browser considerably.

[jQuery] OT : javascript editor (with code formatting)

2008-10-07 Thread Alexandre Plennevaux
Friends,

aptana studio, albeit a nice editor, is recently crashing all the time and
now doesn't even want to restart. I'm looking for a good alternative, that
has a code formatting (auto indenting) functionality.

Any suggestion ? I'm on Windows XP SP3...

 Hi All,

 Today we released our first jQuery plugin, which provides an easy way to

 Liam Byrne, who helped me (via this list) a few months ago with some jQuery
 for isolating text inside of list items.

 - Jack

 
 blogged

 Today we're releasing a jQuery plugin that we created for the business
 directory section of a pet project site of ours,
 http://www.hwy9.com/Directory/boulder-creek.aspx. We'd always wanted to
 have a javascript-based control that we could easily apply to long lists of
 items to allow quickly navigating around the list. Since most lists are
 alphabetically sorted, we came up with a plugin that allowed us to have a
 long list and then, by binding the list to our jQuery listnav plugin, an
 alphabet-based navigation bar would magically appear above the list, showing
 all of the letters from A to Z. Clicking on a letter dynamically filters the
 list, so you can, for example, click on C and the list changes on-the-fly to
 show you only items beginning with C.

 There are lots of neat little features to the control. We've posted full
 information and demos here:

 http://www.ihwy.com/labs/jquery-listnav-plugin.aspx .

 A couple of the interesting features worth calling out are 1) that when
 you hover over a letter in the list navigation bar, a count appears above
 the letter, telling you how many items will appear if you click that letter
 2) letters that don't have any items under them appear looking disabled,
 as a visual clue that there aren't any items starting with that letter (so
 that the user doesn't have to find out by clicking the letter).

 One of the demos (demo 4) also shows using the listnav plugin on a list
 that has floated items in it. In the demo, each list item looks like a box
 and they are arranged left-to-right, row by row. Clicking on a letter shows
 only the boxes that have wording that starts with that letter. This could be
 handy for making an address-book like layout on a web site: click the letter
 in the navigation to see the contacts that start with Y, for example. Each
 box can contain anything you want it to: the listnav control pays attention
 only to the first letter of the first text in the list item.

 The control has been optimized for speed. It's able to handle binding to
 lists with hundreds of items in them very quickly. Any jQuery selector can
 be used to bind to your lists, so you can bind it to multiple lists on a
 single page using just a CSS class name, if you want to. It works with UL
 and OL (numbered) lists. If you use an OL, the numbers restart themselves
 for each set of list items that appear (ie, if you click on 'C' and that has
 5 items, they will appear numbered from 1-5).

 We hope you enjoy the jQuery listnav plugin. We enjoyed creating it.

hi,

1/ set up your html:

div id=myFixedContainer...this content will be replaced by the php
script/div

2/ fix the css properties that will make it stay at the same screen
position:


div id=myFixedContainer
style=position:fixed;top:20px;left:20px;width:200px;height:200px;border:1px
solid black;padding:20px...this content will be replaced by the php
script/div


3/ that's it. now use javascript to load content inside your div:

script
$(document).ready(function(){

$('#myFixedcontainer').load('path/to/phpPage.php');

});



that's the basic idea if the world was really round and browsers obeyed the
standards.
you will have to google for a fix to make position:fixed work across older
browsers...

 I'm using jScrollPanel to implement the scrollbar for a chat (very

 time a message is submitted, the page is scrolled to the bottom. That
 is, if the chat has 3 lines height like this:

 Kp hi

 Kp hello too

 When someone writes the fourth line, the view port will end up with
 THAT line and the latter two. I think the objective is easily
 understandable, right?

 How can I achieve this? I know scrollTo is probably the solution, but
 how can I set it that it always scrolls to the very bottom of the

 My proof of concept


 http://www.overset.com/2008/08/30/animated-sortable-datagrid-jquery-plugin-jtps/

 I haven't yet seen html scrolling animation like this non-flash or
 flex. This is essentially an unreleased jquery plugin that you can
 attach to an already created table that will allow for sorting and
 pagination. The animation is sensitive to the page delta, i.e. it will
 scroll faster if you go from page 1 to 5 than from page 1 to 2. The
 core of the animation is really a queued style.display: ( 'none' ||
 '' ) and given the delay by hijacking the .animate() functionality as
 many have used in the past. It feels somewhat dirty but is easier than
 programming another whole setTimeout management layer for this.

 I put a bit of work on coding an intelligent sort that is similar to
 php's old natural sort (STRING_SORT) and is faster (as of some initial
 testing) than other implementations I've seen.

 I'm going to re-vamp the re-drawing of the table rows to make this
 faster considering how slow it currently is.. but the animation of the
 pagination is something I wanted to throw out there for some feedback.

 It's currently floating around 10KB un-minified and well commented

 Cheers

i would handle that on the serverside of life, not the clientside.
basically, your serverside script processes the form, saves it in a
database, then if all correct, call the external form, via GET (that
is, as query variables).

 this is my code:

 Any suggestion?



what is this:

input type=text class=required /


?? no name attribute? Maybe your validation script chokes on this, and
not on FCK ?

 jqModal is a tiny general-purpose windowing / dialog / popup / modal /

 The new revision contains
  some minor code tweaks,
  the ability to overide default parameter values via the new
 $.jqm.params global,

 The plugin page was updated with more documentation and a link to
 Alexandre Plennevaux's tutorial  on effectively using jqModal to load
 external sites into a popup dialog (His method updates an iframe
 inside a dialog with the HREF attribute of the triggering element. It
 is an excellent example of real-world jqModal usage. As an added
 bonus; the bling-factor is furthered by showing off some fancy
 animated transistions! Be sure to check out his demonstration.)

According to this code, i think you should simply reference the

won't have to check: it will use the same window name property:

var winRef = null;

$(a.openW).click(
 function(e) {

well, AFAIK the only safe solution is to have the close button in the

in the main from the iframe for security reasons i think
.
