[jQuery] Re: Need Open/Shut Function

2008-12-10 Thread Andy Matthews
If you're going to have the same code in more than one place, you might
consider creating a function for that. Something like this maybe:
 
function mouseExpand(source,target) {
$('#' + source).hover(function(){
$('#' + target).show();
},function(){
$('#' + target).hide();
});
}
 
and you'd call it like this:
 
mouseExpand('MSFree','menu2');

Yes, it does work.

I just have a couple follow up questions. When I first load the page, the
element that's supposed to be hidden is displayed. Is there a way to modify
it so that it doesn't display until someone mouses over the yellow MS-Free
thingy?

I put a working example online at http://www.geobop.org/Test.php


Also, suppose I wanted to add a similar function, named Stuff, for example.
Would I just add a separate script, as below?:

$(\'#MSFree\').hover(function(){
  // do something on mouse over
  $(\'#menu2\').show();
},function(){
  // do something on mouse out
  $(\'#menu2\').hide();
});


$(\'#Stuff\').hover(function(){
  // do something on mouse over
  $(\'#menu3\').show();
},function(){
  // do something on mouse out
  $(\'#menu3\').hide();
});

Thanks.

For that, you can use .mouseover() and .mouseout with callback functions.
The callback functions will be called when certain events happen, and that
is where you place the .hide() and .how() code:

// Untested...
$('#MSFree').mouseover(function()

I've been looking for JQuery examples pages and started browsing through
plugins, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet, so I wondered if
anyone here could make some recommendations.

If you visit my web page at http://www.geosymbols.org/World/Arizona/, you'll
see a Microsoft-Free box in the top right corner of the page. Hovering
over it with your mouse causes a small display to appear.


At the end of the article is a little Links/Books image with similar
behavior (though there's currently no content to display).

What JQuery function, plugin or whatever should I use to duplicate those
functions? I'd like to be able to style it so that it looks pretty much as
it does now

Dave...

First of all, thank you for checking out my code. Second, you just answered
a question that I've had since I started using jQuery, namely why does the
animation queue up endlessly, or keep going after my mouse moves out.

I assume that all you have to do is to add in the .stop() method to
accomplish that?

var childHeight = $cont.find('li:first').height();

The primary reason I'm approaching it this way is to be able to use a
semantic list of information indexable by search engines, yet have it only
take up the height of one element, just like a select box would. The
clientele are people looking for automobiles so I'm not all that concerned
with blind people, and as it's going to live just above a Google Maps
implementation, I'm also not that concerned with people who have low-end

The crawler fully 'understands' both methods, but bear in mind that in
addition to rendering the source code, the crawler also treats the rendered
code as text. References to domains can provide a modest increase in
performance. While I don't know the exact amount, I'm guessing it's not more
than a few percent.

This information comes from our in-house SEO department who are all Google,

Is that really true? A crawler has to convert all relative URLs to their
full form in order to get to those pages. So it has the exact same full URL
on hand whether the HTML has a full or relative URL.

I don't have any hard evidence one way or the other, it just seems
surprising that a search engine would treat full and relative URLs any
differently, given that it has the full URL in all cases anyway.

The problem is that I'm trying to apply the same effect but using different
width buttons, I mean, the first button is 88px width, the second 100px, the
third 75px and so on...

I tryed defining the widths in the CSS but didn't work, the effect cuts in
700px even if I defined a 960px container, got this CSS:
* defaults for all examples */
.kwicks {
list-style: none;
position: relative;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 690px;
}
.kwicks li{
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
/*  cursor: pointer; */
float: left;
width: 130px; /*  */
height: 50px;
margin-right: 0px;
}

.kwicks li a {
display: block;
height: 50px;
}
#it1 {
background: url(../img/nav/home.jpg) no-repeat; } #it1.active {
background-color: #86e6bb;

#it4 {

#it5 {

#it8 {

#it8.active {

}

and the js I'm using is in the example 2:
http://www.jeremymartin.name/examples/kwicks.php?example=2

As I said, I tried adding the width: 100px; property to each #it (li
id=it1/li, li id=it2/li, li id=it3/li and so on) but didn't
work.

Is there a way to do that effect in different width buttons or I have to
change my design and make all buttons the same width?

Thank you very much!

Subject: [jQuery] Has jQuery development halted?


Hi all,

There hasn't been a jQuery update in what seems like ages, and jQuery UI 
1.6 will be released 'in the next few days' since somewhere in 
september.  I know John has been really busy with a lot of great things, 
but it seems to me like the development of jquery has seriously lagged 
the last few months.

As a small example: there isn't even a way to detect chrome in the 
official jquery builds yet, and chrome has been out for several months now.

I'm afraid that the lack of updates will eventually have a negative 
impact on the great Query community, causing people to leave for other 
js frameworks. I sincerely hope not, but i _am_ worried about it.

Best, Bob.

Yes...

You can use the animate method to fade in/out any element by applying
opacity.

This is driving me loopy.  Simple post, trying to get a result back
from the server.  Heck even copied it from the documentation and the
callback just will not fire, but the post works fine:

var answer = confirm(Delete Selected?);
if (answer){
$.post(test.php, { name: test }, function(data){
alert(popped off!);
 alert(data.name); // John
 console.log(data.time); //  2pm
}, json);
}

PHP:

?php

echo json_encode(array(name=John,time=2pm));

?

I also tried with XML with no luck either.  Firebug doesn't seem to
show a response, but I know the post variables are passed just fine,
because I wrote a logger [not included] to tell me what the variables
where being passed.  No dice on the return info.  Tried this with both
firefox and opera and in neither the call-backe worked.

Ideas?




[jQuery] ANN: Books-a-million.com using jQuery

[jQuery] Re: treeview pluging issues - .find(.hitarea)

2008-11-20 Thread Andy Matthews

Without seeing the rest of the code, the  .hitarea is a CSS selector for
direct descendants. There's generally something on the left of the angle
bracket such as :

body  .hitarea

Which would apply ONLY to those objects with a class of hitarea directly
inside the body tag.

I am fairly new to jquery and I am trying to create a product/category
browser/tree using the treeview plugin and ajax.

My first simple issue is this peice of code i am trying to understand.

.find(.hitarea)

what is happening here ? I understand the find functino but not sure
about the chevron usage ?

the overall problem is this.

On viewing my list. if i click on one of the initial categories the
second sub categories show up fine. I can then contract this sub list
if i wish. If i leave this open and click on one of the sub categories
for some reason i cannot then contract it again.

I have looked into the treeview plugin code and found that the
toggler method which would normaly just contract the list branch
fires twice causing it to hide again.

If anyone has any idea on thie general problem that would be great.

thanks for any help in advance




[jQuery] Re: newbies question

2008-11-19 Thread Andy Matthews

Assuming there's only a handful of characters that might be at the beginning
of the test1 string, you could use a regular expression, like so:

var test1 = 'a8';
if (test1.match(/^[abcd]8/)) alert('true');

Run those two lines and you should get an alert box saying 'true'. Change
the a to a z, and you'll get nothing.

Subject: [jQuery] help with hover function


Hi,

I have been using jquery for several projects and I am very happy with
how easy it is to use.  I need some help with (I think) chaining
functions, or using callbacks because I'm not sure I quite understand
how to tell jquery to go like this:

mouseEnter - do this - stop - do this

Specifically I have a page that I am building that is setup with
thumbnails of images.  Please take a look here:

http://jameslovinsky.com/couture/index.php

When you mouseOver the thumbnail the main image and caption should
fadeIn.  When you mouseOver the next function I want the visible span
to fadeOut, then the new span to fadeIn.  Currently its set so that
each span will fadeOut when the mouse leaves the thumbnail.  This is
how the HTML is setup (pseudocode):

li
a background-image: url(thumbnail) 
spanimgcaption/span
   /a
/li

Its setup this way so it will degrade gracefully as IE6 doesn't
allow :hover on anything other than a elements.  Anyway, the jquery I
tried to make this work the way I described above is (I tried
mouseOver and hover functions as well):

$(li  a)
.bind(mouseenter,
function(){
$(span).fadeOut(1000);
$(this).find(span).css(visibility, visible).fadeIn
(1000);
$(.center).children(img).hide
();
}
);

But then when you mouseOver the thumbnail the image will fade in and
out in a loop until you move the mouse off.

Can anyone suggest a way to either select and fade out any span that
is not a descendant of $(this) li  a for the first part of the
function, or a way to chain the functions so that the effect is

select any visible spans - fade them out - stop - select descendant
span of $(this) - fade it in

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

As you can see in the comments some people are having problems with

jQuery seems to add a second callback method thus making the JSON data
from twitter invalid and breaking the javascript on the page.

Here is a page that only has the example code:

[jQuery] Effect like Kwicks plugin

2008-11-17 Thread Andy Matthews
I'm looking to achieve an effect similar to that of the Kwicks plugin
http://www.jeremymartin.name/projects.php?project=kwicks . However, I
don't want to use this for navigation, I want to use it for the main body of
my site. Currently it looks like the Kwicks plugin can only work on list
items, but I'd like something which can be applied to div tags. One
http://www.jeremymartin.name/examples/kwicks.php?example=7  of the
examples shows the use of divs inside the list item tags, but I don't think
that's valid xHTML so I'd rather not use that method.

 

Does anyone know if there's a similar plugin that can be applied to div
tags, or does anyone have plain code they might share which can do this?
I've already got something that works but doesn't look all that good:

 

http://commadelimited.com/code/maternitymealplanner/

 

The problems I'm having with my version are:

 

1)  Far right div gets pushed to bottom as animation plays out

2)  Animation is a little jerky as the various elements position
themselves 

3)  Occasionally, the cursor will position itself just right and the
animation will queue up and then go on for like an extra 5 seconds after the
mouse is moved off of it.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the Kwiks for jQuery plugin with
something other than list items. Just remove the 'li' from the .children()

var kwicks = container.children('li');

becomes

var kwicks = container.children();

Its absolute position will be relative to the container div, not the page.

 I just noticed, after looking over the code again, that since you have 
 all three pieces of the robot that are bouncing bounce at the same 
 time the line of code can be condensed into one. As well as the two 
 that bounce together at the beginning.
 This:

         
 $(#content).animate({top:-=+num+px},150).animate({top:+=+num
 +px},150);
         
 $(#branding).animate({top:-=+num+px},150).animate({top:+=+num
 +px},150);

 Becomes this:

         $(#content,#branding).animate({top:-=+num+px},
 150).animate({top:+=+num+px},150);

 And in the next function this:

         
 $(#sec-content).animate({top:-=5px},150).animate({top:+=5px},
 150);
         
 $(#content).animate({top:-=5px},150).animate({top:+=5px},150);
         
 $(#branding).animate({top:-=5px},150).animate({top:+=5px},150);

 Becomes this:

         $(#sec-content,#content,#branding).animate({top:-=5px},
 150).animate({top:+=5px},150);

 Of course, if you wished to have each part bounce a different amount 
 or at different rates you would need to set up different timeouts
 with different functions if they couldn't be set with the current 300 
 ms function. But if you wanted something to go at half speed or a 
 whole number multiple speed you could just changed how much code was 
 in the function and the numbers associated with it. (If any of that 
 makes sense.)

 But that saves more code, and again, makes the file a bit (Quite 
 seriously only  a few bits :P) smaller.

brings whatever was below up. I'd rather have whatever is below slide up

Subject: [jQuery] Large text files via AJAX


Greets all.

I have an application which passes large amounts of plain text to update a
pre id=textdata/pre block on the client. This is all plain text and
can range in size from a few bytes to 64MB. Typically though the text files
are less than 1MB. 

Updating the pre block can be slow. I'm sending the request via POST and
getting the data back in a json object along with some metadata about the
text file. I'm starting to look at this and I'm thinking that I would see
better performance by breaking out the request into two parts:

0) Make sure the data is gziped
1) Request the text file via POST and get json response of metadata only
2) Update the web page from the json response
3) Second request to update the pre block directly from text data GET
request

Thoughts?  What is the fastest way to update a text block with large amount
of plain text? Paging isn't an option here :)

Thanks.

Another thing you can try is attach the handler directly to the load event
for each image:

$(img).load(function() {
alert('image ' + this.src + ' is loaded and has width ' +
$(this).width()); });

This should work ok within document.ready, as the img tags will be loaded in
the DOM and have the event handler bound before the images themselves are
loaded.

 I figured out why it's not working. My code is firing before the

 I installed a click event on each image which reported the actual

 So, how might I only run this code AFTER the images have loaded?

All that's on the page are images. For every img on the page I was trying to

Regarding the 404 suggestion, these are images not under my domain. I'm

[jQuery] Re: pagination solution

The OP said that he was using ASP.

Depending on what data you're showing, the tablesorter plugin might work for
you. It's got pagination built in if I recall.

'plugin' usually refers to a javascript thing.

I have a pop up div on our sites home page. The content changes based on the

A triangle tab should then move to reside between the clicked menu item and
the popUp.

This works fine of the dev server, but not on our live server
(http://www.pro-bel.co.uk/)

We've checked:

The jQuery.js files and tried re-uploading the latest version, both compact
and normal.
My scripts are the same on both servers.
Both sites are on the same server though, just a difference domain?!

To see the problem go to the live site: http://www.pro-bel.co.uk and click
on Routing  Control then Automation and Media Management then Master
Control. The blue triangle moves on the dev server to match the position of
the clicked link.

My Code:

$('div#solutions a.popUp').click(function(event) {  
event.preventDefault();

/* Position tag */  
var myPos = $(this).position();

var popup = $('#solutionTool'); 

// 327 is the Y position of the UL
// 24 is the aprox height of the li item

var myY = (myPos.top - 327 + 24) + 'px';

$('#solutionTool').css(backgroundPosition, 0px

He's not talking about clicking on the link to activate it, but clcking on

I will say that you might be better off applying the sortable to an LI tag
which contains the link, rather than directly to the link itself.

Remember that a link isn't technically a list, but a group of li tags are.

I'm a Jquery newbie, so if this answer is available somewhere, please let me

My user needs to click button B, which processes some info with AJAX
(working great), and then needs to programmatically click button A, which
itself runs an AJAX request. Button B works fine, but when it tries
$('a.buttonA').click() the code in button A doesn't run. I suspect this is
because I'm using $(event.target).is('a.buttonB'), resulting in no binding
for click() to run. Can anyone confirm? Any suggestions to fix this?

Subject: [jQuery] Cappucino's FlickrDemo in 45 lines of jQuery


After reading about the release of the Cappuccino web application framework
a few days ago, I thought I'd take a stab at re-implementing one of their
demos in jQuery. Cappuccino is obviously a huge framework with tons of
features, but I don't think jQuery can be dismissed quite so easily in
favour of something so heavy.

This took me about 3 hours. It's probably not perfectly optimized, and I
took a few CSS shortcuts that only work in Gecko and WebKit.

[jQuery] Re: jQuery test suite on new Google Chrome browser

2008-09-04 Thread Andy Matthews

This is how Chrome reports itself:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13

So you can see that the word Chrome is clearly in the UA string.

someone posted that Chrome is sending the headers for AppleWebKit Safari. It
would seem google needs to change this so they can receive the actual due

[jQuery] Re: jquery for web designers

2008-08-29 Thread Andy Matthews

John...

You could focus on some of the things which can be condensed in the document
using jQuery. For example. In an app I'm writing, I want rounded corners on
some of my containers but both the color of the container, and the
background against which it is displayed are dynamic, so I couldn't used an
image. What I came up with was to stack 2 divs before, and 2 after my main
container like so:

div class=short/div
div class=medium/div 
div id=contentBody
my content
/div
div class=medium/div 
div class=short/div

That gives a nice, subtle rounded corner effect while still letting me
colorize the elements. Now, with jQuery my HTML is plain vanilla:

div id=contentBody
my content
/div

While my jQuery code looks like this:
$('#headerBody')
.before('div class=short/div')
.before('div class=medium/div')
.after('div class=short/div')
.after('div class=medium/div');

[jQuery] Change event for hidden form field

2008-08-28 Thread Andy Matthews
I'm modifying the value of a hidden input field from a popup window. I
thought it would be a simple thing to bind a change event on this field so
that when it's value changed, something else would happen. This doesn't seem
to work. Am I doing something wrong, or am I misunderstanding what I need to
do?
 
Or is there another way to do this, one that's better? In essence, this is
what I'm doing.
 
1) Open a new window
2) In this new window, click a link which corresponds to an image
3) In the new window, get the filename of the selected image; pass it back
to a specified hidden input field in the parent window.
4) When the hidden input field's value changes, fire an event/function which
changes the src attribute of an img tag to match the value of the hidden
form field.
 
Any ideas? The value of the input field updates properly, but it just
doesn't fire the change handler.

I would recommend replacing the pop up window with an in-page modal window
(http://ui.jquery.com/repository/latest/demos/functional/
#ui.dialog). The modal windows these days are advanced enough to function
much like a pop up window with draggable, resizable, scolling and whatnot.
This would be easy to do if you were to use a modal window because once
hidden form field is populated you can us jQuery's event trigger method
(http://docs.jquery.com/Events/trigger#typedata)
to make it happen.

If you absolutely need to use the pop up window then have the new window
call a function in the parent window. This function can execute a trigger.

//this function is in the parent window.
function triggerHiddenFormField() {
  $('$hiddenFormField').trigger('change');
}

//pop up window calls the the parent window's function
window.opener.triggerHiddenFormField();

I think it might actually work without those changes you suggested. Problem
is that at the point I'm calling the plugin, it doesn't recognize
showResults as a method:

$(#category).autocompleteArray(
// this array comes from the coupons_edit.cfm file

minChars:0,
matchSubset:1,
onItemSelect:selectItem,
onFindValue:findValue,
autoFill:true,
maxItemsToShow:10
}
).click(function(){
showResults();
});

When I click the input field, I get an error:

showResults is not defined
http://testlogin.dealerskins.loc/admin/coupons/js/coupon_edit.js
Line 130

Any ideas? Also, is Jörn's plugin listed on the jQuery site?

First I'd recommend updating to latest version that Jörn's been managing. I
have no plans on updating my version.

I'm using Dan's autocomplete plugin in an app and it's working great. I 
just have one question. I'm loading in all options (around 5-10) into 
an array when the page loads. I'd like to trigger the list selection 
screen when the user clicks into the text field. Is this possible?

So if I've got the following in my array:
[Accessories,Interior,Maintenance,Parts,Service,Tires,Vehi
cle
Sales]

I'd like all of those items to display when the user clicks the text field.
Then, as they type, it would filter out other options. Or of course 
they could select it straight away, or type their own.

I thought it would be enough to put a click handler on the input field 
like
so:

.click(function(){
showResults();
 });

but that doesn't work. Anyone? Dan?

I think you might be able to hack it the way you want by changing the line:

var prev = ;

to:

var prev = null;

And then you'd need the to set the option minChars to 0.

I haven't tested this and don't know what else this might impact.

Subject: [jQuery] Hiding other divs when I show one


I'm working on a script, and I've got it working about halfway. The page
will show a bunch of panels, and clicking a link hides a text div and shows
a form.

Here's the jQuery. Right now, it toggles the searchform and panel_text divs
in the same searchpanel div. I'd like to have it so that when you show the
form for a different searchpanel, it will hide any other currently visible
searchform.

So for example, if I come to the page and click to reveal the form in
#panel1, I want panel 1 to go back to showing the text when I show the form
for #panel2.

While I'm at it, can we fade out instead of just switching these?
Thanks!

$(document).ready(function(){
$(.searchpanel .searchform).hide(); // hide the forms

$(a.showform).click(function(){
$(this).siblings(.searchform).toggle();
$(this).siblings(.panel_text).toggle();
return false;
});
});

Here's some example HTML, set up pretty much the same as my actual html,
just simplified a bit.

div id=searchbox
div class=searchpanel id=panel1
a class=showformClick to toggle/a
div class=panel_textText/div
div class=searchformForm/div
/div
div class=searchpanel id=panel2
a class=showformClick to toggle/a
div class=panel_textText/div
div class=searchformForm/div

Hi there, 

First thing to do is make sure the reference to the jquery.js file is
correct. That sort of error usually occurs when it can't find the jquery.js
file. In Firefox, open the script tab in Firebug (If you don't have this
extension, get it here: http://www.getfirebug.com/ ) and click on the file
name heading. you should see two file names, one for jquery.js and one for
the current html page. Select the jquery.js file and look in the Script

You'll probably want to add a return false; after the alert line, too.

Opera.  I am running this in IIS on my XP Pro box.  IE just gives me
the error Object Expected.





[jQuery] Re: input:empty and remember password

2008-08-25 Thread Andy Matthews

This is what someone on this list gave me about 2 weeks ago:

// the focus / blur functionality of the text input
// fields for the email a friend form.
$('#input.email').bind('focus', function() { 
// Set the default value if it isn't set 
if ( !this.defaultValue ) this.defaultValue = this.value; 
// Check to see if the value is different 
if ( this.defaultValue  this.defaultValue != this.value ) return; 
// It isn't, so remove the text from the input 
this.value = ''; 
}) 
.bind('blur', function() { 
// If the value is blank, return it to the defaultValue 
if ( this.value.match(/^\s*$/) ) 
this.value = this.defaultValue; 
});

Subject: [jQuery] input:empty and remember password


I have a script that displays username and password as background images in
the input fields when the field is empty and they removes it when on focus
(or when there's content left in the field). I then came up against the
issue where if someone's browser populates the input fields after their
browser is asked to remember their password and I end up with both the input
fields being populated and the background showing.  Here's my initial
script:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#loginArea').addClass('active');
  $('#loginArea.active input')
.focus(function() {
  $(this).addClass(nobg);
})
.blur(function() {
  if ($(this).val() == '') {
$(this).addClass(nobg);
  };
   });
});

I tried using
  $('#loginArea.active input:empty').removeClass(nobg);
but FF doesn't add the username/password until after the page has loaded (I
don't know what other browsers are doing), and thus the decision to addClass
is based on empty cells.

Anyone have an idea of how to resolve this one?




[jQuery] Best way to toggle a form field value

2008-08-21 Thread Andy Matthews
I'm storing a boolean in a hidden field, and I'd like to flip it's value
when someone clicks a link. Here's the function I've got currently:
 
function toggleInput($el) {
// get the ID of the element being passed in
var id = $el.attr('id');
// get form element
var $formEl = $('input[name=' + id + ']');
// get the current value of the selected form field
var value = $formEl.val();
// set the new value 
$formEl.val(!value);
alert(value);
}
 
I seem to recall a way to invert the value in one line, but it's eluding me
at this time. Can someone help me out?

[jQuery] Re: Best way to toggle a form field value

2008-08-21 Thread Andy Matthews
Anyone have input on this? This code runs, but it doesn't seem to want to
toggle the value of the form field at all. It changes it once, then
continues using the same value.

[jQuery] Re: How to set background image when file name contains a space?

2008-08-21 Thread Andy Matthews

Spaces in file names for web apps are asking for trouble. Any way of getting
around having the spaces ?

space?


Hi, I have an image with path '/documentengine/user/xhuntertest/
Uploaded_Documents/Toad Getting Started Guide1_thumb.jpg'.  When I try and
set this as the background of my DIV using

$('#frontside').css('backgroundImage','url(' + img
+')');

where img contains the offending name, nothing appears.  I figure this has
something to do with the space in the file name as other images without a
space appear just fine.

Grateful for any advice, - Dave




[jQuery] Toggling boolean values in form fields

2008-08-21 Thread Andy Matthews
I'm storing a boolean in a hidden field, and I'd like to flip it's value
when someone clicks a link. Here's the function I've got currently:

HTML:
input type=hidden name=saveAsTemplate value=0 /
 
TRIGGER:
a href= id=saveAsTemplate class=toggleImageSave as template/a
 
JAVASCRIPT:
$('.toggleImage').each(function(){
// shortcut to the current element
var $this = $(this);
// toggle the click handler
$this.toggle(function(){
// toggle the check image to the on state
toggleImage($this,'save');
toggleInput($this);
},function(){
// toggle the check image to the off state
toggleImage($this,'save_faded');
toggleInput($this);
});
});
 
function toggleInput($el) {
// get the ID of the element being passed in
var id = $el.attr('id');
// get form element
var $formEl = $('input[name=' + id + ']');
// get the current value of the selected form field
var value = $formEl.val();
// set the new value 
$formEl.val(!value);
alert(value);
}
 
Does anyone know why this isn't working right or, at some times, at all?
