[jQuery] Another quick update to CFJS

[Chris Jordan]

Hey folks,

I've made another quick update to the DateFormat function in CFJS. You can
read about it on my blog if you like (http://cjordan.us/index.cfm/CFJS).

It's at version 1.1.12, and as always is available from
http://cfjs.riaforge.org.

Cheers!
Chris

[jQuery] A quick note about CFJS

[Chris Jordan]

I just wanted to let everyone know that CFJS 1.1.11 is now available. There
was a small bug in two of the list functions (ListContains and
ListContainsNoCase). You can read about the changes
here.
You can download the latest version of CFJS here .

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Quick announcement about CFJS for jQuery

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I just wanted to drop a quick note letting everyone know that I've
committed cfjs 1.1.10 to the repository on riaforge.org (http://
svn.riaforge.org/cfjs/). This new version includes HTMLCodeFormat()
and HTMLEditFormat(). I'll be working on NumberFormat() soon as well
as a short list of Array functions that have been on my to-do list for
quite a while now.

These include:
ArrayAverage()
ArrayClear()
ArrayDeleteAt()
ArrayInsertAt()
ArraySum()

You can visit the project page over at cfjs.riaforge.org, or read my
blog articles about it over at http://cjordan.us/index.cfm/CFJS

Hope folks are continuing to find this useful. :o)

[jQuery] Detecting Selected Text

[Chris Jordan]

Is there a particularly jQuery-ish way to determine if there is text
selected on the screen? I've googled around for some code on this
subject, but I want to be sure that whatever I use is cross-browser
compatible. It's been my experience that if I let jQuery do the heavy
lifting for me, that my solutions are always compatible across the
major browsers.

What I'm specifically needing to do is see if the length of what the
user has selected in a text field is the same as the length of all of
the text in that field. Make sense? In other words, if I've got a text
box with fifteen characters in it, I want to know the length of their
selection (zero to fifteen).

Thanks!

[jQuery] Re: Selectbox Manipulation...Works in FF but not in IE6 or IE7

[Chris Jordan]

James,

Thanks for the response. I don't know why I didn't see it before, but
your comment about the conditional check got me thinking. I did try
  $this.attr("selected", "selected");

and that works just as well as my original, but the conditional is
where my problem was. FF understood the 'textContent' attribute, but
IE6&7 only understood 'text'. Honestly, when I was looking at the
thing originally in FF, I just didn't see 'text' I saw only
'textContent' so that's what I used. Thankfully though FF and IE6&7
understand $this.attr("text"), so I'm all good now.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: Selectbox Manipulation...Works in FF but not in IE6 or IE7

[Chris Jordan]

I just realized I may need to explain a little further.

I've got a table on the same page. Clicking on a record in that table
populates a small form on the page with the information from that
record. The text and check boxes are easy enough to populate, but
telling the select box which of it's options is now selected as a
result of that user click is a little harder it seems.

The code snippet in my original post fires when a user clicks on a
record in the table, and in FireFox 3.0.6 it works just fine, but in
IE6 and IE7 it fails. I should also probably mention that I'm using
jquery 1.2.6 packed.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Selectbox Manipulation...Works in FF but not in IE6 or IE7

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to manipulate which item in a select box is selected using
jQuery. The following code snippet works great in FF but fails miserably in
IE6 and IE7

 // select the publish to option
$("#PublishToID > option").each(function(){
$this = $(this);
if($this.attr("textContent") == PublishTo){
$this.attr("selected", true)
}
});


Given that I have a select box that looks like this:


Some Page Title
Some Other Page Title
Page 5
Page 1
Page 2

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.

[Chris Jordan]

Given your requirements, you can't go wrong with using jQueryUI. - modal
pop-up (check)
- easy to control life cycle (check)
- good documentation (check) -- http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog
- easy to customize look and feel ( same link as above, see "Theming", also
check out the theme roller, very cool!)

on the topic of documentation, jQueryUI is "officially supported" and it has
it's own mailing list (google group) with all sorts of knowledgeable people
to help out.

Just my two-cents again. :o)

[jQuery] Re: $ Not defined

[Chris Jordan]

I had a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be a permissions
issue with just the jquery source file. Fixed the permissions problem, and
the file started getting included properly.

Have you looked at a possible permissions issue?

[jQuery] Re: Doc's site down?

[Chris Jordan]

That's good news, John. All this reminds me that I've not donated to jQuery
in a several months. I somehow feel like I need (and want) to send in more
support. I don't know if the hosting for the jQuery site (servers,
bandwidth, administration, maintenance, etc.) is being donated or what, but
a little money couldn't hurt, right?

Thanks for all you (and the rest of the jQuery team) do, John! :o)

[jQuery] Re: Doc's site down?

[Chris Jordan]

No offense to Remy, but I just don't like the way the Visual jQuery docs are
laid out. I *really* like the way the official docs are laid out on
docs.jQuery.com. If a copy of the docs in that exact format could be hosted
somewhere else as an alternative to docs.jQuery.com, then I'd be happy with
that.

Just my two-cents. Having docs down (they appear to be down right now 2:22pm
cst) is very frustrating, but I'm happy to know that they're working to
resolve the issue.

Any kind of update on the problem, Rey?

[Chris Jordan]

Thanks Abba. I'm using it because it's convenient. I don't have to worry
about anything. I just call it. If it does a little more, I'm not real
worried about it. Also, once the thumbnail is clicked on, I'm using blockUI
again to display the larger image.

Never mind. Problem solved. Here's the code I ended up with:

// change message border
$.blockUI.defaults.css.border = '0px solid red';
$.blockUI.defaults.css.cursor = 'pointer';

// make fadeOut effect shorter
$.blockUI.defaults.fadeOut = 200;

$(".thumb").hover(function() {
   // MOUSEOVER HERE
$(this).block({
message: $(this).attr("alt"),
css: {
padding:0,
margin: 0,
width:  '100%',
top:'0px',
left:   '0px',
textAlign:  'center',

backgroundColor: '#F2F2F2',
opacity:'0.6',

})
},function() {
   // MOUSEOUT HERE

[jQuery] BlockUI: message as complete overlay

[Chris Jordan]

Recently in another thread (BlockUI: Strange flickering problem), I found
that what I'd like is to have my message be the entire overlay. So as it
stands right now, you get a semi-transparent overlay with a message in the
middle. When you run your mouse over the overlay bit, the cursor turns into
an hour glass, but when you've got your mouse over the message in the middle
your cursor stays the normal default (or whatever you've set it to).

So what I'm dealing with is a grid of images where, on mouseover, I'm
throwing an overlay over the image that the user has moused over. I'd like
my message to be the entire overlay so that the cursor is never changed to
the hour glass. Also, I can then bind a click event to the message (I guess
that's how that works) so when the user clicks they get a larger view of my
image.

check out what I'm talking about at
http://rock-itnaturalstone.com/dev/ThinVeneer.php

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: BlockUI: Strange flickering behavior.

[Chris Jordan]

I figured out what the hour glass is all about. I'm throwing up an overlay,
and that puts up the hour glass automatically. if you hover over just the
text in the middle, then there's no hour glass there.

Thanks for everyone's help!

[jQuery] Re: BlockUI: Strange flickering behavior.

[Chris Jordan]

Hey, that's progress! I'm still getting the hour glass too, but the flicker
is gone. It seemed before like the constantly being blocked and unblocked in
rapid succession. Now, it looks just right, except that I don't like the
hour glass. But I think I can show it to my client like this.

Any further assistance would be much appreciated. If anyone can figure out
how to get rid of the hour glass, that'd be great.

Here's what the code looks like now:
// change message border
$.blockUI.defaults.css.border = '0px solid red';
$.blockUI.defaults.css.cursor = 'default'; // I'm just assuming that this
will work.

// make fadeOut effect shorter
$.blockUI.defaults.fadeOut = 400;

$(".thumb").hover(function() {
   // MOUSEOVER HERE
$(this).block({
message: $(this).attr("alt"),
css: {
padding:0,
margin: 0,
width:  '100%',
top:'40%',
left:   '35%',
textAlign:  'center',
color:  '#FF',
cursor: 'default', // but just in case it didn't work
above, i set it here too...
backgroundColor:'transparent',
fontWeight:'bold'
},
overlayCSS:  {
backgroundColor:'#F2F2F2',
    opacity:'0.6'
}
})
},function() {
   // MOUSEOUT HERE
   $(this).unblock();
});

Just to clarify, in order to see the problem (especially in FF -- it looks a
little different in IE) mouse over one of the thumbnails in the center of
the page, and then leave the mouse there. You don't have to do any further
movement of the mouse to see the problem happening.

Thanks everyone. I really, really need help on this. :o(

[jQuery] BlockUI: Strange flickering behavior.

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

after solving my previous BlockUI problem, I'm wondering if anyone has ever
seen it do this before:

http://rock-itnaturalstone.com/dev/ThinVeneer.php

Just hover over some of the stone samples to see what it's doing. It's
driving me crazy. It's almost as if the mouseover even fires constantly
while the mouse is hovered over the element, rather than just firing once.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

the "thumb" class is applied to a bunch of images on my page. when I
mouseover the image I want a layer put up over just that image along with a
message (the alternate text). The error I get is: $(this).blockUI() is not a
function. Likewise I get the same on the mouseout only with the appropriate
function name listed in the error.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

[jQuery] Re: Jquery, AJAX and MySQL update

[Chris Jordan]

Chris,

The hash idea that the other site was talking about is what I was telling
you in my previous post. I do this all the time:

function myFunction(email){
   var args = {};
   args.name = $('#nameid').val();
   args.location = $('#locationid').val();
   args.email = email;
   args.someStringLiteral = "I am a string!";

   $.ajax({
  url:"updatesql.php",
  type:"post",
  data: args,
  error:function(){
 alert('Failed');
  },
  success:function(){
 alert('Success');
  }
   });
}

Note that in JavaScript what a hash (or what I would call a structure) is
also an associative array, and it's an object, and both can be accessed
using either dot or array notation. So if you had an object
(hash/structure/associative array) called 'session' you could access the
'loggedin' property by saying session.loggedin or session['loggedin']. You
could set up that hash/associative array/struct/object as I've mentioned
above:

var session = {};
session.loggedin = true;

or

var session = {"loggedin":true};

Check this excellent page (http://www.quirksmode.org/js/associative.html)
for much more detailed information. :o)

jQuery will take an object like this and translate it into the
"name=John&location=Boston" for you. I find passing an object of arguments
easier and more preferable (personally) than passing
"name=John&location=Boston".

[jQuery] Re: Jquery, AJAX and MySQL update

[Chris Jordan]

yeah, the other method of passing data via ajax is:
...
url: "myurl.php",
type: "post",
data: {"variablename":"value", "variablename2":someJSValue},
...

you could declare an object that contains your arguments that you want to
pass in to updatesql.php like this:

var args = {}
args.name = "John"
args.location = "Brisbane"
args.SomeOtherVariable = someJSVariable

then you could do:
...
url: "myurl.php",
type: "post",
data: args,
...

where args is the object that you just created.

Hope this helps! :o)

+1 for "I'd attend" (and I answered the poll in the same way). I would 
like to know that for my fee, I could be given access to a recording of 
the session for my later review and study. I realize you guys aren't to 
that point yet, but if I pay, and perhaps I'm not able to attend (which 
could be likely unless it was held on a weekend) or even if I do attend, 
but then want to study what was discussed later, I'd like to be able to 
review the entire class.


IMO this is a great idea.

[jQuery] Dell.com is using jQuery 1.2.2

[Chris Jordan]

Just a quick note to say that I noticed today that Dell.com is using jQuery
v. 1.2.2

Go to dell.com and look at the source for yourself if you want. It looks
like they're using some version of thickbox or something too. Click on "My
Account" and a modal-type window comes up for a login.

Pretty damn sweet if you ask me. Has anyone raised a pint to jQuery
recently? The jquery dev teams and this community ought to be damn proud of
the work they've done!

If the modal dialog is the error container itself, the validation

Really tight integration into a modal dialog would most likely need 
some improvements in the validation plugin. You should recondisder 
actually trying to implement that, because it gets you quite close to 
alert-validation.


In any case it would help if you could show what you've got so far and 
describe in more details what you want to achieve.


Jörn


Hi Jörn,

Basically, what I didn't like was that I had a nice centered login 
screen and the errors appearing next to the elements where they did 
caused all of my elements to shift undesirably. It doesn't have to be in 
a modal (though I don't personally see what's wrong with that. What I'd 
really like to have is a message area that is always there and where the 
errors appear when they need to. Typically I handle this by 
incorporating a message container div which always takes up the space 
that a message would (so I always make sure my largest message will fit 
into it) and it is into that div that place all of my messages to the 
user. This is sort of like the status bar on a browser -- it's always 
there, and messages just appear when they need to -- and the display 
doesn't do any weird shifting about.


Does that make more sense? I don't feel like I'm explaining it very 
well. Right now, all I've done is left justify my whole login screen and 
let the plug-in work like it does so the shifting doesn't happen, and 
I've moved on to something else pending any response to this message.


Cheers!
Chris

[jQuery] validation plug-in and error placement -- need help

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I'm in need of some assistance in figuring out how to place error
messages via Jörn's form validation plug-in. I'm not sure I understand
how it works. So far what appears to happen is that the plug-in itself
adds a  tag with the class "error" and then the text of the
error that I've specified in my code or the default if I've left one
out.

I know there's some documentation on this, and I continue to read it,
but up to now I don't seem to be catching on to quickly. If someone
had a very simple example of how to place the error message anywhere I
wanted that would be fantastic. I will of course continue to work on
the problem myself, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Just to let you know, that switching from jquery.validate.pack.js to

[jQuery] Problem with form validation (works in FF, but not in IE)

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

This page  works in FireFox without
problem, but doesn't do anything in IE. Now, I'm only talking about
validation here, the form doesn't actually *do* anything just yet. All I was
trying to do was get the validation going.

This is the first time I've attempted to use Jörn's validation plug-in, and
I'm kinda getting the hang of it (or so I thought), but now this isn't
working in IE so I'm all stumped. I'd like to figure this out before I try
to work on learning anything else (like error message placement ... hints on
that would be welcome too, though).

Thanks heaps everyone,

[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...

[Chris Jordan]

Karl,

I ran the site through the validator you linked to (thanks for that), but my
problem still remains. I should note that there are still 43 errors, but
they're things like "No ALT specified" and "there is no attribute X"

The errors that are bothering me most right now are:

   1. cannot generate system identifier for general entity "osCsid"
   2. general entity "osCsid" not defined and no default entity.
   3. reference to entity "osCsid" for which no system identifier could
   be generated.

I don't know how to fix these. osCommerce dynamically generates the code
that this is complaining about.

I notice now that I'm getting a javascript error in IE: "Object does not
support this property or method" unfortunately, as has been seen no such
error manifests itself in FF.

I've been given two hours to fix this, and I've only got an hour left. What
a pia...

Anyway, if anyone can help me out. I'd love the help. I'll of course keep
working on it from my end.

Thanks so much everyone,
Chris

Sorry, I'm just now getting back to this guys (I was sick yesterday). I
appreciate all the suggestions. I'll bet it's malformed markup. I don't
create it though. This is an osCommerce shopping cart. I'll see if I can
find where the HTML is getting messed up.

Thanks heaps!

Thanks Jack! I'm trying to fit troubleshooting this IE problem in with
working on other parts of this particular menu project, and I may not get a
chance to try out your suggestion tonight, but I appreciate your effort, and
would love to know if you find anything. Also, when I get a chance to try
out your suggestion, I'll report back my results.

Thanks,

[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...

[Chris Jordan]

You said it was positioning correctly for you? What version of IE was that
in? For me, in IE6 it shows up in the top left (0,0) of the view port...
it's supposed to show just below the top-level menu choice.

Also, I know there are broken images. Ignore those and look mostly at the
ones that do have images. I'm still waiting on my graphic artist guy to get
me the rest of the images. I also don't see anywhere (unless I'm just
missing it) where the sub-menus are being positioned. You can check out all
the css if you have the Web Developer extension for FF.

Thanks again,
Chris

[jQuery] Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks.

I'm having another problem with the jdMenu plug-in. In IE when I hover over
the top-level menu the sub-menu appears in the absolute top left of the
view-port! Bah! I don't know what I've done wrong. I've used jdMenu at
another client of mine, and it works great in both FF and IE. This time
around however, I *am* customizing the css file quite a bit to better suit
my needs.

The problem can be seen here .

This is causing me much aggravation, and more time at this one particular
client that I should really be spending.

I would *really* appreciate anyone's help on this problem. Of course, I'll
keep working on finding a solution, but if someone knows what I'm going
through, or can offer suggestions, that'd be great.

Thanks,

Chris

[jQuery] $(window).scrollLeft is not a function ... help! :o(

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use jdMenu for jQuery (which I have successfully used before),
but I'm getting the following errors when trying to use it this time around
(1.3.beta2).

When using the unpacked version I get:

   $(window).scrollLeft is not a function

When using the packed version I get the following:

missing ; before statement

... which then causes this error:

$("ul.jd_menu").jdMenu is not a function

Can anybody help? I really need this menu to work right now.

Thanks so much,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: Programmatically controlling cut and paste

[Chris Jordan]

Okay, I think I just found it. Before I posted this question I was searching
google for "javascript programmatic cut and paste" (and other variations on
that theme), but getting no where. Just a bit ago it occurred to me that was
I was really trying to do was get access to the clipboard. Duh. A search for
"javascript clipboard access" returned what I was looking for --
window.clipboardData.setData();

Before folks start writing to tell me that this is a security risk, keep in
mind that a) my app is for company intranet use only and not available to
the general public and b) I'm not using the control for evil... only for
good ;o) I won't be storing the information for any long term use, or
tracking what IP had what in their clipboard... nothing like that. I'm one
of the good guys *show's everyone his white hat*

Also, I realize that the method I mentioned above only works for IE which is
okay for me because when users launch this app they don't get a browser
choice. It's automattically using IE 6.

All that said, comments are still welcomed. :o)

[jQuery] Programmatically controlling cut and paste

[Chris Jordan]

Is there a way to use jQuery (or javascript in general) to programmatically
controll copy and paste functions? I'd like to replace the right-click
context menu and *only* offer the ability to cut and paste. I was looking at
using Chris Domigan's ContextMenu plug-in to capture the right-click and
replace the stock menu with my own, but then it occurred to me that I don't
know how I would control the copying and pasting ability.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: new jARIA plugin

[Chris Jordan]

This looks cool. I have to admit that to this point, I've not been required
to make sure that things are accessible by screen readers and the like. It
looks like if I'm ever required to do so, that this plug-in will make things
*much* easier! Nice work. :o)

[jQuery] Re: DateJS: Robust Date manipulation library

[Chris Jordan]

that's pretty dang cool. I like the syntactic sugar. I was amazed that for
all it's coolness when I entered "tomorrow at 8:15PM" that it understood
that as tomorrow at 8:15AM... it ignored my AM/PM designation! It only works
off of a 24 hour clock. That's a little disappointing, but not so much as
it's file size.

Still it's pretty sweet. :o)

[jQuery] Re: I just hate the way this mailing list handles grouping messages...

[Chris Jordan]

The way Gmail view emails as conversations really works for me. There may be
100 posts on a particular thread, but it only shows up as one line in my
inbox. I have an account on a Zimbra server that's also able to view the
inbox either as a list of individual emails or as conversations. I thought
outlook could do that too (well, full blown outlook, not express).

[jQuery] Re: noob: table row level link and hover

[Chris Jordan]

I just noticed Glen's reply and looked at that example. It's almost
identical to what i was suggesting with a couple of minor differences that I
thought I'd point out.

His example:

var newURL;
$("td").click(function(){
newURL = $(this).parents("tr").attr("goto");
window.location.href = newURL; alert(newURL);
});

the click event is being bound to each td. While there's nothing
particularly wrong with that it's not really necessary. Just bind the click
event to the tr. That's where you wanted it anyway wasn't it? The only time
I really bind click events to td tags is when it's possible that clicking on
one td will do one thing, while clicking on a different td (in the same row)
will do something else.

Also, the code I provided does less work. The selector I chose:
$("tr[link]")
... tells jQuery to look at only tr tags, and then return only those that
have an expando called "link". While the other example looks at every single
td in the DOM and tries to apply a click to it based on the parent's
expando.

I should also point out that I should probably have var'd my link variable
outside of the function just as a matter of form.

The last difference I want to point out is the use of the .click() method
vs. the .bind() method. Both work just fine. I *think* that the .click()
method is essentially a shortcut for the .bind() method. I'm not sure which
is preferred or "better". It probably comes down to a matter of style.
Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: noob: table row level link and hover

[Chris Jordan]

crybaby,

Given the following markup:


Row 1 Cell 1Row 1 Cell
2
Row 2 Cell 1Row 2 Cell
2


you could do something like this:

$(function(){
$("tr[link]").bind("click", function(){
var link = $(this).attr("link");
window.location.href = link;
});
});

In case you hadn't see this before, the
$(function(){
   // put all your jQuery goodness here.
});

bit of the code is short hand for

$(document).ready(function() {
// put all your jQuery goodness in here.
});

I hope this helps. If not, ping us back and keep askin' :o)

Cheers
Chris

[jQuery] Re: AJAX and dynamically created dropdowns

[Chris Jordan]

Yaz,

View Source will never show you dynamically generated content. Download the
FireFox extension: View Source
Chart<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/655>.
It's quite handy, and shows you dynamically generated content. It's often
helped me to figure out problems where I really need to know what the
generated markup looks like.

Chris

[jQuery] Re: Select box show/hide

[Chris Jordan]

Also, I just noticed this code:
$(document).ready(function() {
 // (hide the divs on initial view)
 $('#option-1').hide();
 $('#option-2').hide();
 $('#option-3').hide();
 $('#option-4').hide();
 $('#option-5').hide();
 $('#option-6').hide();
 $('#option-7').hide();

 // (need help figuring out how to trigger the show)

});

you could simplify that code like this:
$("div[id^='option']").hide();

This says, get me all the elements of type div that have the attribute 'id'
that starts with 'option'.

Seven lines to one line! Isn't that cool!?

Have fun!

[jQuery] Re: Select box show/hide

[Chris Jordan]

bombaru,

I had just helped another user with almost this same question. I'm lazy, so
check out this short
thread
.

He was doing things on a click, but you could do them on  the change event.
I've not used this event in jQuery so I'm making an assumption that it's
covered. Why wouldn't it be, right?

so in the code in that thread I do something like:

$(".someClass").bind("click", function(){
 // function goes here...
});

you would do something like:

$("#mySelectBoxElement").bind("change", function(){
 // function goes here...
});

or I think you could do:
$("#mySelectBoxElement").change(function(){
 // function goes here...
});

I'm not sure which is the preferable syntax. I think it's a matter of style.
I tend to use the bind function.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: Does JQuery 1.2 solve the thickbox positioning problem when scrolling?

[Chris Jordan]

I'm having this same problem. I have a very long list of items that
are each clickable. When the user clicks on one it pops up a thickbox
that allows the user to edit that item. However, when the user clicks
on items far down in the list, they appear to get no thickbox. After a
little investigation, I find that the thickbox did indeed show up,
just off screen! Ack!

How can I fix this?

I'll continue investigating this, but if anyone has the answer right
off, I could really use it.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Thickbox 3.1: Transparency issues in IE6

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I've just started using thickbox 3.1 and I notice that transparencies
are *not* working in IE6. Is anyone else having this issue? I've not
had this issue in the past, so it's confusing me. The CSS appears to
be correct to me, but for some reason, the background refuses to be
transparent.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks heaps,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: Problem with a possible race condition

[Chris Jordan]

alert("Customer 
not found.  Please fill out name and customer
number for this applicant.");

parent.LastName.readOnly = false;

parent.FirstName.readOnly = false;

parent.CustomerNumber.readOnly = false;

parent.SSN.value = data.SSN;
}
else{

parent.LastName.value = data.LASTNAME;

parent.FirstName.value = data.FIRSTNAME;

parent.CustomerNumber.value = data.CUSTOMERNUMBER;

parent.SSN.value = data.SSN;
}
parent.TB_remove();

alert("Error");
}
});
}

Customer SSN



        






//$("##SSNID")[0].focus();





I'll try the onShow callback, but if you can think of anything else,
I'd love to hear about it.

Many thanks,

[jQuery] dumb interface question

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I've never used the interface plug-in before, and I've just downloaded
it, but I'm not completely understanding how to "install" it.

The zip file contains a file called interface.js and then a folder
called compressed that contains all the effects js files. Am I
supposed to put the interface.js and any dependant .js files in the
directory where I keep the rest of my JS? If I include interface.js do
I need to include the specific effects .js files that I want to use,
or do I need to keep some special directory structure so that
interface.js will know where to look for the necessary dependencies?

I did a quick search of the archives for this sort of interface
question, but it's such a popular and much talked about plug-in that
it seems I run the risk of growing old while searching for the answers
I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: How do I find this error?

[Chris Jordan]

Thanks heaps, Mike! I've a question though.

That blog entry you point to says:

"When you've enabled Script Debugging 'View->Script Debugger' will now
be present to help you break into the debugger."

But, I'm not finding that's the case. Also, it goes on to talk about
three applications that the author has used for script debugging. Do I
have to have one of those in order to debug? Why don't I have the
'View->Script Debugger'? Have you used this debugger in IE? How many
angels can dance on the head of a pin? What are the eleven secret
herbs and spices in Kentucky Fried Chicken? Can God make a rock so
heavy even He can't lift it? Are you tired of my questions yet? ;o)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: New Plugin Repository

[Chris Jordan]

Okay, I've finally looked over this big ol' thread to see if my
question was covered or not... and it wasn't.

Back when this page was first released (and then "removed" after the
DDOS atack), I had registered and added my plug-in. The good news was
that I went to put my plug-in back in the repository, and found it
already there! Yay!

However, a question I had back then (and obviously still have now)
concerns SVN (CVS... whichever), and that is: Can plug-in authors
store their code in some jQuery SVN repository? Before this plug-in
page existed, I stored my code for folks to download on my own server.
Then I got permission to host it on riaforge.org, and that's where the
most up to date versions are kept today. But, it's only tangentially
related to the material that riaforge.org was created for.

If there is a way to do this on the jQuery plug-in page, then it
alludes me. I saw that I could upload files, but it adds a .txt
extension to them. And then it's got file attachments. What's the
difference between those and the part of the release form that says,
"Choose the file that will be associated with this release"?

Also, using SVN over at riaforge.org, I can create branches for
different implementations of my code, etc. Can I do that sort of thing
here?

Did I miss some handout with instructions or am I blind and missing
the online help? ;o)

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

[jQuery] Can I select just one?

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I've not really had a need to do this before, but is it possible to
tell jQuery that when doing a selection I just want the first one
found?

I know that I can reference the zeroth element in the array of
matches. As it happens, right now I've got a need to just get the
first occurance of x, and instead of returning all of them, I'd like
to just return the first one.

Any thoughts?

Chris

Sorry it's taken me so long to follow up on the advice you've given
me. I still seem to be having a bit of trouble.

I'm using:
jquery.js 1.1.2
jquery.dimensions.js (version not listed in source)
jquery.jdMenu.js 1.3.beta2 (2007-03-06)

Here's my entire example page:
@import url("CSS/jdMenu.css");
@import url("CSS/jdMenu.slate.css");





$(function(){
$(".jd_menu").jdMenu();
});



jdMenu test

Here's the Firebug output when I click on "File" in the menu:

[jQuery] Re: dynamic jdMenu help

[Chris Jordan]

@Ben,

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

@Brian, I think you've hit the nail on the head, actually. Jonathan's
post seems to bear that out.

@Jonathan,

Thanks I think that's what I was missing when I was doing this in
1.2.1. However, I'm having a separate issue in 1.3 in that I can't get
it to work at all. Even on just a simple unordered list. I'm going to
try simplifying things even further with the 1.3 version to see if I
can't get *something* working. But I'll ask now, is there *anything*
that I need to do differently in 1.3 than I did in 1.2.1? In 1.2.1 all
I did was include the plug-in and write the unordered lists making
sure that the top most level had a specific class. Is that the same
procedure to use in 1.3?

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm feeling much calmer today even
though my deadline is that much closer. Yikes! :o)

Chris

[jQuery] Re: dynamic jdMenu help

[Chris Jordan]

Ben,

Thanks for responding. I am frustrated, and I have a headache. Thanks
for bearing with me.

I just got back from dinner, and I'm going to hit the sack to try and
let go some of this frustration, but tomorrow I'll put some code
together to show online.

I'm having a couple of problems now.

First, the problem that I described in this post, and at the time I
was using jdMenu 1.2.1.

Now I'm trying to use jdMenu 1.3, and I can't even get a simple hard
coded menu to work.

I think I'd like to get all this accomplished using the latest
version, but I'm having so little luck with it right now that I don't
know what to do. So if you're still willing tomorrow, I'd love the
help. I'll be sure to get some code posted somewhere that the general
populace can get to it.

Cheers Ben,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: dynamic jdMenu help

[Chris Jordan]

Ben,

I don't have an online demo that anyone can view.

I could have been a little clearer. "MenuLists" was just a non-sense
name I came up with for the post that was supposed to represent what
was sent back from the server which is "the rest of the list
elements". It's being returned as a string of HTML. I could have just
as easily said,

.empty().append(the_HTML_string_returned_from_my_ajax_call_goes_here);

Yes. I'm sure it's passing back what I want.

Are you even familiar with the jdMenu plug-in?

[jQuery] dynamic jdMenu help

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

I'm in need of some help using jdMenu. I've got a nice menu up and
running using ver. 1.2.1, but it's static: meaning that I've hard
coded the un-ordered lists that make up the menu contents. What I need
now is a way for my app to build the menu on the fly depending on what
screen the user is currently viewing.

The app makes extensive use of ajax and so is only loaded one time at
the beginning. I've tried having an empty  element that contains
the jdMenu class, like this:



and then making an ajax call to the server which builds the rest of
the list elements and then does an empty().append(MenuLists); upon
returning, but that didn't work.

I've tried just building the what I need in JavaScript into some
variable that I then do an append() with, but that's not working
either.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Does anyone thing they can
help?

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] OT: How to request something from the google groups folks?

[Chris Jordan]

Does anyone know if you can request a feature for GoogleGroups?

Just in case someone from Google is monitoring (... they *do* do that
don't they?) here's my request:
I've got a request for the web based interface. I'd like to see a
method of adding code windows. Not unlike those in BlogCFC or over at
jQuery.com.

For example:


if(my.codeExampleWorks){
I.will.eat(my.hat);
}


You know? It'd be really nice. I realize they'd have to do something
special so that the posts when sent as email appeared normal, but
that's probably doable right? :o)

[jQuery] CFJS now at version 1.0.5

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

Just a quick note that I've made some significant improvements to the
CFJS for jQuery plug-in. Most noticeably is the inclusion of all but
one of the ColdFusion List functions. I've left out ListQualify()
because in the context of JavaScript it didn't seem particularly
useful to me. If anyone disagrees let me know and I'll add it too. :o)

There's also a changelog that I will make an effort to keep updated,
and it lives in the root of the SVN repository.

Also, shortly after sending this post, I'll be updating the home site
(http://cjordan.us) with examples and a demo or three. I'll also be
pointing the download links on the cfjs site to point to the SVN
repository on RIAForge.org. The version on cjordan.us is very old.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. :o)

Cheers,
Chris

[jQuery] Re: CFJS Announcement: please get the latest version

[Chris Jordan]

I'm sorry for the maybe too frequent updates, but I've just spotted
another bug and have fixed it.

The newest version is 1.0.4. SVN Revision 20 (unpacked) or SVN
Revision 18 (packed).

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Cheers,
Chris

[jQuery] Thickbox question: Passing variables to pages in the iframe

[Chris Jordan]

Hi folks,

First let me say that I *did* search the list, and I *did* find a
thread or two on this subject, but the solutions I found there seemed
hokey to me.

The problem is I'm trying to pass a JSON string on the URL (I'm using
TB_show directly), and my most recent guess as to the problem is that
the string is too long. :o(

Here's the code that opens the TB:

TB_show("Model Dialog", "HELPER_SelectModel.cfm?Models=" + thisVehicle
+ "&keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=90&width=300", null,
CloseButtonImage);

Where thisVehicle is the JSON encoded string.

Is there another approach I should take?

I hope someone can help.

Thanks,
Chris

[jQuery] CFJS Announcement: please get the latest version

[Chris Jordan]

Hey folks,

Anyone using the cfjs plug-in for jQuery is urged to go get the very
latest version from the SVN repository over at http://cfjs.riaforge.org.

Why?

Well, I accidentally left some debugging alerts in the code of my last
update. The alerts were associated with my last bug fix for the
DollarFormat() and _CurrencyForThousands() functions.

Anyway, it's possible that you've got the alerts but haven't noticed
them because you're not using DollarFormat(). To ensure you've got the
latest code, look at the comments of the uncompressed version and it
should be v1.0.3a (SVN revision 16). If you're using the packed
version, be sure to get SVN revision 15.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I have to work. :o(
Chris
