[jQuery] Re: Tell-a-friend script?
On Monday, October 08, 2007 3:19 PM marlyred said: Hi, PHP, but my pages are static html. Marlyred You may have already received an email about this offlist but javascript (jQuery is javascript) cannot send emails. What it will need to do is submit the form's data to a server side script (in your case PHP) and have the server send the email through its MTA (probably sendmail, possibly postfix). Static HTML doesn't have anything to do with it. The PHP script that needs to be written doesn't necessarily need to display anything to the user. The flow would go like this: static page with form - form is submitted to PHP page - PHP page sends email and then redirects to another static page with a confirmation e.g. Your tell-a-friend request has been sent.

[jQuery] Why doesn't jQuery complete animations smoothly?
Hello, Maybe this has everything to do with implementation and is not a fault of jQuery but I've always wondered why animations (like slideDown) do not finish smoothly. Case in point: http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ The animation is smooth until the very end where it jumps to completion, skipping several frames of motion. Why is that? I've noticed it in my own basic animations too. Thanks, Chris.
[jQuery] Re: Why doesn't jQuery complete animations smoothly?
On Monday, September 24, 2007 10:34 AM John Resig said: In your code you're modifying the .html() of contents twice after the animation has already started. If you do a show animation (like what .show() and .sildeDown() do) then they do a calculation animating the height to auto - if that height changes after the animation has already begun then there will be a jump at the end in order to compensate. In your _show_image_data() function just call your two .html() cases before you begin any animations and that should help. Actually, that link is not to my own work. I'm not able to test my own code right at the moment but I will post back later after I experiment a little. Thanks, Chris.

Typing abed doesn't get any results but it should because there is Jonathan Abed. Also I think it tries to filter too quickly. Since it's a bit slow (I don't know if that can be rememedied through improved code), don't filter on each keypress (which it seems to be doing).

[jQuery] Re: bassistance: jQuery plugin: Autocomplete
On Wednesday, September 05, 2007 1:09 PM Jörn Zaefferer said: http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/ I'm confused by this plugin. Is it meant to restrict the input to a predefined list of options ONLY or should it also allow new entries along with a predefined list (or both)? I'm just coming into this thread so hopefully this hasn't already been mentioned. I didn't see it in the Known Issues section on your site. Depending on the answer to my first question I think there is a big usability flaw in this. When typing an option that doesn't have a match the autocomplete list stays open and active. This shouldn't be the case. For example, on the demo page, typing Lo selects Lockbourne but typing Los doesn't dismiss the list. Lockbourne is still highlighted. If I press tab (to go to the next field in the form), Lockbourne is entered into the field. This is confusing and frustrating. It's very difficult to enter a value other than what is in the list. If this plugin is meant to restrict form input (in text fields) to a predefined list I would suggest that it be modified just a little. When someone starts typing something that is not in the list it would be great if the autocomplete box responded that it is aware of what's happening. The list should be replaced with a warning like: That is not a valid entry., That option is not available., Invalid option, Option unavailable etc. Regards, Chris.

[jQuery] Re: Shopping Cart Dynamic Price Update
On Monday, June 18, 2007 3:52 PM cfdvlpr said: Now, the prices are dynamically generated, but only for 1 size of product. I'm hardcoding the size of the product where you see the 0. However, I'm not sure how to take this to the next step and to take into account the size. By size do you mean small, medium, and large? Do I need a more complicated variable structure? You somehow need to pass the size into that function along with all your other data so that you can replace all those zeros with a variable called size. Any examples out there like this that I can take a look at? I'm not even completely sure what you're doing. Let's say 1 product costs $10. But 5 or more products costs $9. So with this function, when someone updates the qty in their cart from 4 to 5+, the price per unit will change from $10 to $9. Right? If so, that's why I'm confused about what size means. If size is an attribute of the product (e.g. color, material, etc.) then you should be returning the price break levels for that specific product (a brown, large, widget made of clay) and not fishing them out of an array. But I have a feeling that's not what size means... Chris.

Hello, As a humble user of jQuery and several great plugins I would like to request that anyone who releases anything to the public always insert the version of the release in the filename.

I think this part should be left up to the developer. If the developer chooses to leave the version in the filename then they're aware they will need to change filenames when the time comes. Otherwise they can generalize the filename and simply rename the latest file (from the plugin/jquery website) once it has been downloaded into their generalized filename. Chris.
[jQuery] Adding AJAX(?) functionality to existing site... do I make new server files?
Hello, What's the standard method for fitting an existing site with AJAX functionality? Currently all my server side files that process requests, like deleting rows from a database (e.g. customers, products, etc.), automatically redirect the user to another page with a status message (e.g. success/failure). But now that I'm trying to add some AJAX functionality to this existing site I'm not sure how to handle the server side of it. 1. Is it a better practice to create totally new AJAX specific server files? 2. Or is it a better practice to modify the existing files to know that an AJAX request is being made and that they should (1) not redirect and (2) return the data in a different format? I'm opting for #1 but I can see this might also be an issue because of the need to maintain multiple files. Chris Parker Aardvark Tactical, Inc.

Yeah that is pretty sweet. Except that...
It's a waste. You *still* absolutely have to do proper server-side
validation. Client-side validation is trivial to circumvent.
Although, security issues aside, I guess it could help to prevent
mistakes from your users. Would it make things easier for the user or
frustrating?
I want to put in the spaces like this .
But for Amex I want 99 9.
Ultimately, I want to submit to the server without spaces. (Maybe a
hidden form field)
How should I achieve this?
Possibility #2: onChange of the select, change the class of the input
and then re-apply the mask with an if statement which reads the class
and applies the correct mask. Totally unsure how to do this.
I'd go this route. I would do it on blur because I seem to recall FF not
recognizing onchange in certain cases.
js:
// set the default field mask
$('#cc_field').maskedinput('visamc_mask');
// now change the mask if necessary
$('#selectbox').blur(function () {
// is it this.value?
if(this.value == 'amex')
{
$('#cc_field').maskedinput(...);
}
});

I had no problem with your English. :) I want to dispatch a load event on a link in a loaded content.

But that's not what happens and I understand it because the DOM is not re-loaded and JQuery can't detect the new link... Any help/link would be appreciated. You have to reapply the events in the callback of the load() function (iirc). The best way to do it is to assign your events to a function and then call that function every time you need it. e.g. The first time and then each time you reload the content.

I think you should change the 'container' option into a more flexible
'attachTo' option.
It would work like this:
html
form
textarea id=text1 .../textarea
div id=count_text1/div
/form
/html
$(textarea).charCounter(100, {
attachTo: #count_text1,
className: counter

[jQuery] Can't set focus on element with DatePicker applied
Hello, I'm trying to set focus on a form field but when I apply the DatePicker plugin* it stops working. But perhaps this doesn't really have anything to with DatePicker and is a js/jQuery thing. Here's the relevant code: js: $(#date).focus(); $(#date).datePicker(); HTML: input id=date ... / If I comment the datePicker() line it works fine. I even tried selecting focus with something other than the id e.g. $([EMAIL PROTECTED]).focus(); but I don't like that method and it doesn't work anyway.

[jQuery] TableSorter sorting weird
Hello,
Anyone know how to get the TableSorter plugin to reliably sort short
dates?
By default it works with dates in a long format (US) like this:
April 25, 2007 12:00 Am
But it won't work with a short format (out of the box) like:
April 25, 2007
However, I did manage to get it to sort with that short date format, but
it seems to be a bit unreliable. For example, I have four rows that are
being sorted like:
May 1, 2007
April 15, 2007
April 16, 2007
April 27, 2007
Clearly this is wrong and should be:
May 1, 2007
April 27, 2007
April 16, 2007
April 15, 2007
The modification I made was simple. I added a conditional(?) grouping on
the time portion of the regex.
(watch wrap)
Original: (on or around line 510)
/^[A-Za-z]{3,10}\.? [0-9]{1,2}, ([0-9]{4}|'?[0-9]{2})
(([0-2]?[0-9]:[0-5][0-9])|([0-1]?[0-9]:[0-5][0-9]\s(AM|PM)))$/
Mine:
/^[A-Za-z]{3,10}\.? [0-9]{1,2}, ([0-9]{4}|'?[0-9]{2})(
(([0-2]?[0-9]:[0-5][0-9])|([0-1]?[0-9]:[0-5][0-9]\s(AM|PM?$/
It seems to work fine most of the time but on rare occasions I've seen
it act screwy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris.

I would like to make a character counter for a textarea input. I would like the string that is the number of chars typed in the box to always be the last chars of the textrarea. A bit like this: I [1 char] I can [5 char] I can type [10 char] you get the idea, the little [x char] string floats along as if the insertion point was just before it. Is this going to be possible? All the best, Dug I suspect that it's possible but it sounds like it'd be really annoying/confusing from a usability standpoint. What happens when the user exits that field? What happens when the user goes back into that field? If they press the End key where does their cursor go? What happens when the user tries to put their cursor after the [x char] string? Maybe you'd be better off going the traditional route and offer the character counter on the top/side/bottom of the textarea like everyone else? Regards, Chris.

[jQuery] Why do hide/show elements appear at the end?
Hello,
I am hiding/showing a tr that appears (in the HTML) immediately after
the tr that contains the control but when it is shown it appears at
the end of the table (along with the other trs that I'm doing the same
thing to).
HTML:
table
tr
tdspan class=sub_events sub_id=2hide/show control/span/td
/tr
tr class=sub_events sub_id=2
tdhere I am!/td
/tr
tr
tdspan class=sub_events sub_id=3hide/show control/span/td
/tr
tr class=sub_events sub_id=3
tdhere I am!/td
/tr
/table
Visual:
hide/show control
hide/show control
here I am!
here I am!
I would expect it to look like this:
hide/show control
here I am!
hide/show control
here I am!
Here's my relevant jQuery code:
// fold and unfold subordinates' event tables
$('tr.sub_events').hide();
$('span.sub_events').toggle(function () {
sub_id = $(this).attr('sub_id');
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]'+sub_id+']).show();
}, function() {
sub_id = $(this).attr('sub_id');
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]'+sub_id+']).hide();
});
Things are hiding/showing correctly but not in the places I expect. What
can I do to fix this?
Thanks!
Chris.

It would defeat the purpose of the plugin if I didn't hide the additional elements. I disagree. I think it's a useful mode beyond the idea of debugging. It's basically the same behavior as Gmail's file attachment system and I think that's really useful. If I were to use this (which I probably will) I would probably always put it in debug mode so that I (or anyone else) could quickly change the path of a file instead of having to remove and then re-add the correct one. Hopfully I'm not missing the point of the debug mode. If I am please let me know. Chris.

I've thought about alternative ways to display the admin notes for each record. If you have suggestions for that as well, I'll certainly read them :-) I don't know how to do this but I think the approach I would take (until I found something better) would be to build your table out of a multi-level array. You could easily sort the top level without sorting the children. You could then recursively go thorugh your array and build your table. Chris.
