Re: [jQuery] [mcDropdown] Enhancement Request
There's no need to add this to the code. You can just place the wrapper in
the actual HTML and apply whatever CSS you need specific to the instance of
the mcDropdown.

The GivaInc.com site says that the devs monitor this list for stuff

The mcDropdown is great but needed a little push from me in order to
get the field to display properly on a form with labels to the left of
the field (versus above). Because of that I needed to have a way to
create css for the anchor and wrapper div tags inserted by the
mcDropdown plugin.
I added the following two new defaults:
, wrapperId: null // The id of the wrapper for
more css
control ... added 2010-01-18 Jerry Ablan jab...@pogostick.com
, anchorId: null // The id of the
anchor for more css
control ... added 2010-01-18 Jerry Ablan jab...@pogostick.com
In addition, the following was changed at line 160 (after insert of
above two lines):
// create the div to wrap everything in
$divInput = $('div class=mcdropdowna ' + (
settings.anchorId !
== null ? ' id=' + settings.anchorId + ' ' : '' ) + 'href=#
tabindex=-1/ainput type=hidden name=' + (el.name || el.id) +
' id=' + (el.id || el.name) + ' //div')
.appendTo($('div ' + ( settings.wrapperId !== null
? 'id=' +
settings.wrapperId + ' ' : '' ) + 'style=position: relative;/
div'))
.parent();
With the wrapper div and anchor accessible now, I can style the CSS to
get the field in the right place.
Thanks!
Re: [jQuery] Sum up of selected classes
palgo:
You probably mean:
$(#total).val(tot);
The selector $(total) would be looking for an element named total (i.e.
total /,) where as $(#total) looks for an element with an id of total.

[jQuery] Re: $.post() speed
Adonis, The $.post() function is asynchronous (by default) when your code hits a $.post() call, it'll keep executing code.

[jQuery] Re: Paste an image into a tag...
It's been a while since I've looked at either TinyMCE or FCKEditor (now CKEditor) but non of the WYSIWYG editors based on the browser can do what Hogsmill wants. In order to paste an image from the clipboard, you'll need something that can also upload the image to the server on the paste operation. The product I've used in the past to accomplish this is XStandard--which comes as either a Firefox add-on and an ActiveX control for IE. It does require an client installation, but it's a very powerful XHTML-based editor and works really well for us. The images are uploaded to the server via a web service on the paste operation--it even handles multiple images in the clipboard. We choose XStandard, because users could copy an entire Word document into the clipboard with multiple images and simply paste it into the XStandard editor and the content would get pasted complete with all the images in the Word document. There are some Java-based rich text editor controls I found too, but they were all much more expensive. Also, if you *only* care about pasting a single image (and don't really need the whole rich text portion) you could write a signed Java applet to do this. For our help desk application, I wrote a signed Java applet that would either take the screenshot for the user or allow pasting an image from the clipboard to add as an attachment. I can't share the code, but it's relatively straightforward (the biggest issue is handling clipboard operations on the Mac.) -Dan On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 9:22 AM, Peter Edwards p...@bjorsq.net wrote: Have you thought of using a rich text editor to do this such as TinyMCE and FCKEditor - they both have paste from clipboard functionality On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 11:12 AM, Hogsmill i...@hogsmill.com wrote: This may or may not be possible, but if anyone knows a way to do it, I'd love to hear from you.

[jQuery] New iPhone-style button plug-in released...
We've just released another jQuery plug-in which emulates the iPhone-style button used to toggle settings on/off. The plug-in works with both checkbox and radio button groups and we've worked hard to make this a complete plug-in. While there are several similar plug-ins, we couldn't find one that actually had all the features we needed--which is why we built this version. http://www.givainc.com/labs/ibutton_jquery_plugin.htm You can see a demo here: http://www.givainc.com/labs/ibutton_example.htm Here are the features: - Works with checkboxes or radio elements - Full keyboard support — use the [TAB] key to move from field to field and use the spacebar to toggle the status of the iButton (or use the arrow keys for radio buttons) - Custom event handlers - Detach iButton behavior from the element - Metadata support — when used with the jQuery Metadata Plug-inhttp://plugins.jquery.com/project/metadata, you can define the properties for your button completely within the class attribute of your input elements - Enable/disable drag support — while the dragging behavior is intuitive on touch-based devices, it's not always be the best or expected UI behavior and may cause some mouse users problems (NOTE: In order to help differentiate between an intended mouse click or an actual drag event, we're developed the clickOffset option. If the time (in milliseconds) is under this value (120ms by default) it's assumed the user was attempting to click the button and not drag the handle.) - Enable/disable animation - Single sprite image — easily change the look of your button by just replacing the image sprite - Customizable labels — use any labels you want for your buttons - Support for disabled buttons - Easing support for animations - iPhone support Hopefully some of you find this useful. -Dan

[jQuery] Re: input has focus
You can add a class to your field when it has focus and then check for the
class:
$(:input)
// add focus/blur events
.focus(function (){
$(this).addClass(has-focus);
})
.blur(function (){
$(this).removeClass(has-focus);

Now you can just do $(input#1).is(.has-focus) to check if it has focus.

[jQuery] Re: [Linkselect] Change function fires when using replaceOptions
skube,
This is not a limitation, but a specific design decision. If you're
replacing the options in a select box you are in affect also changing the
value (or at least potentially changing) the value since you now have a
completely new set of values in the box.
Therefore, to ensure that dependency attached to the behavior are correctly
carried through the change callback is fired.
For example, let's say had 3 linkselects in your chain. Select 1 changes the
options in Select 2 and Select 2 changes the options in Select 3. When you
change the value in Select 1, the options in Select 2 will change, however
the options in Select 3 will also correctly change to reflect the new value
in Select 2.
However, if you *really* need to avoid the callback from running, the
replaceOptions() method does have a second argument you can set to false for
preventing the change callback from running. However, this really should be
the exception to the rule and should only be used if you're going to end up
with some kind of circular logic.

[jQuery] Re: [linkselect] Positioning menus off bottom of window
Sherri, You can use the open callback to handle repositioning the container if you wish.

You could just offset it's top position by XXX amount to move the box up. -Dan On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 10:07 AM, Sherri enigmaticf...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I'm working on a website where we're using the jquery.linkselect plugin, and we're running into a situation where we have one of the dropdown linkselect menus happening near the very bottom of the users' window. Imagine that we have a list of articles with abstracts, authors, etc. running down the left hand side in a div which is set to show a scrollbar if the results list gets long, and each article has a linkselect dropdown menu. Unexpectedly, if you've scrolled to the bottom of the scrolling div and you're on the last item in the list, linkselect is allowing the menu to drop down extending past the bottom of the scrolling div and outside the boundary of the browser window. This is problematic, as it makes the menu items inaccessible. We're looking for a way to have it automatically detect the bottom of the screen and reposition the menu accordingly (similarly to the way it does it to make sure it doesn't get positioned off the right hand side of the screen). I might be able to hack it, but was hoping maybe the linkselect team might be able to put something in more quickly and efficiently than I can. :) Alternately, a way to specify that a menu drops up rather than drops down would also be a great solution to our situation (I didn't see that in the options, though please let me know if I missed it).

[jQuery] Re: Linkselect Plugin Woes
What's your code looks like? Are you using the replaceOptions() method
correctly:
$(#id).linkselect(replaceOptions, options*, doCallback*)
Replaces the options in the dropdown with the array of objects passed into
the options argument. You can use this API method to repopulate a Linkselect
with options via an AJAX call. When the options are replaced, the
changecallback is triggered for the newly selected item. You can set
the
doCallback to false to prevent callback from being triggered.
For example:
var options = [
{value: 1, text: Option 1}
, {value: 2, text: Option 2}
, {value: 3, text: Option 3, selected: true}
, {value: 4, text: Option 4}
, {value: 5, text: Option 5}
];
$(#id).linkselect(replaceOptions, options);
Each item in the options array is a JavaScript object that must contain
at least the keys value and text. Also supported are the keys selected
(which can be true for any single item that needs selecting) and the
className key, which can be used to define a class for the option /
element.
Are you using v1.2.07?

[jQuery] Re: jquery.calculation modification
Since you have a very specific use case, you're probably better off just
writing custom logic to accomplish this task.
However, one way you could hack this solution is to define a custom
jQuery.fn.getValue function:
jQuery.fn.getValue = function (){
return this.attr(some_str);
}
If the calc plug-in finds a jQuery method called getValue it'll use that
function to retrieve it's value instead of the val method. So you can just
write a getValue method that grabs the value from the correct location.
Just be aware that the getValue() method will be used for all the methods in
the calc plugin for retrieving the value.

[jQuery] Re: mcDropdown jQuery Plug-in v1.2.07
Darren:
One thing to keep in mind is this plug-in was designed to be a new form UI
control that allows the users to type in their choices. Thus, the default
behavior when clicking in the box puts the focus in the text box so you can
begin typing.
However, you could accomplish what you want by:
* Using a div element instead of an input / element. This will make the
dropdown readonly w/no keyboard support.
* Attaching a click handler to the layer with the mcdropdown class
Example:
div id=mcdropdown/div
script type=text/javascript
// create the drop down
$(#mcdropdown).mcDropdown(#menu);
// attach a click handler to the div class=mcdropdown element
$(#mcdropdown).parent().click(function(){
// when the element is clicked on, open the menu
$(#mcdropdown).mcDropdown().openMenu();
});

[jQuery] New Plug-in: Marquee, an ESPN-style ticker...
My current employer (Giva, Inc) has released another jQuery plug-in today called the Marquee jQuery Plug-in. The jQuery Marquee plug-in converts a list element (ul / or ol /) into an ESPN-style scrolling marquee. Messages are scrolled in from top or bottom (based on the yScroll option) and longer messages will then ticker to the left in order to show the full message. While there are a number of ticker/marquee style plug-ins, nothing did exactly what I needed. I really wanted something that would scroll up/down new messages, but would then ticker messages that didn't fit on the screen. In our SaaS application, our customers wanted a place at the top of the screen where they could put important notices to their clients, and they seem to be very happy with the effects we use in this plug-in. The Marquee jQuery Plug-in has an example you can look at or you can see several different marquees in different configurations at: http://www.givainc.com/labs/marquee_example.htm Marquee Plug-in: http://www.givainc.com/labs/marquee_jquery_plugin.htm Marquee jQuery Project Page: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/giva-marquee The plug-in is only 3K minimized. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: Known issues with webkit and jQuery 1.3?
Kelvin, While I didn't really dig into the problem, looking at the inspecting the jScrollPaneContainer element in Chrome, the width is being set to 1130px for me. My guess is something in your code is calculating the wrong width for the element. My best guess is this is due with the issue in Webkit where if you don't load *all* the CSS before the JS, then the ready() function fires before all the CSS is applied, therefore your dimensions can be off. You might try moving the scrollpane code in a $(window).load() event temporarily to see if that changes things. -Dan On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Kelvin Luck kelvin.l...@gmail.com wrote: Hi again, I have now reproduced the issue in Safari on PC and now Chrome on PC.

It seems like some people solved the problem by adjusting the order of the script and css files in the head of the document but this didn't work for everyone. I first started getting reports like this around the time jQuery 1.3 came out and I don't think there were any previous to that. So it may be related to 1.3. But it could also be related to some changes I did at that time... I am asking my users to help me debug but I wondered if there was any known issues that might be causing this... Thanks for any ideas or pointers, Kelvin :)
[jQuery] Re: Form plugin: input elements excluded
Dennis, You could do a manual AJAX submit and then just manually serialize your form fields. Also, before doing the AJAX submit, you could do something like: $(#your_form).append(#your_dialog); This would move the fields back into the form / element. -Dan On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 5:16 AM, dth dennis.thry...@gmail.com wrote: Aha!

I'm working on an ESPN style ticker and one of the problems I'm running in to is that I need to base animation on a specific speed, not a duration.

Karl, I wish I could give you some good news, but instead I can only commiserate. FF 2 had all sorts of problems like that. Try having an absolutely positioned div overlapping the scrollbar of a div with overflow: scroll. Ugly. I even recall seeing a cursor in one tab's textarea blinking through to the currently visible tab. Those problems appear to have been fixed in FF3. FF3 works as expected. I know FF2 has a few bizarre issues like this, but I just thought placing a div overlay over an input field was common enough that there might be a fix for the issue. -Dan

[jQuery] SOT: Using FF2 input element sometimes including padding in width...
This is slight off-topic, but I thought maybe someone on this list might
have seen the issue before.
I've got an input element that has some a large padding to include a
background image icon. Most of the time in FF2 the element renders properly,
however occasionally the input element renders it's 100% width so that the
padding is included in the width (making the element too large for the space
its in.)
This is seemingly random, but once it starts rendering it that way it tends
to render it that way for an indeterminable amount of time and then it will
eventually start rendering properly.
I suspect this is just a bug in FF2, but wanted to see if anyone's seen the
issue before and has a fix.
Here's what the pertinent code looks like:
#search_input {
background: #fff url(./images/1.5/icons/search_text_16_disabled.png)
no-repeat 4px 4px;
font-size: 10px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 25px;
border: 1px solid #c3c3d5;
width: 100%;
color: #ccc;
}
#search_input.active {
background-image: url(./images/1.5/icons/search_text_16.png);

}

[jQuery] Re: linkSelect - the width of the options container
Snobo, I stumbled upon the situation, which seems confusing to me. In my app, I noticed that the LinkSelect used to create the container for its option list which is too wide. I read the docs and found the option fixedWidth. To my bewilderment, it didn't work. I fired the Venkman and analyzed, what's going on... So, the following piece of code takes care of the container width (lines 532-537): // get the width of the anchor link unless inline, then grab width of parent var aw = ($a.css(display).indexOf(inline) -1) ? $a.parent().outerWidth() : $a.outerWidth(); // get the original width of the container var width = options.fixedWidth ? aw : $container.width(); // make sure the width of the drop down is at least as wide as the link if( width aw ) width = aw; in my case, the fragment of DHTML structure (after LinkSelect has already transformed SELECT into A) is: td h5ORIGIN/h5 labelCountry: /label a class=linkselectLink id=_link href=#Select country.../ ainput type=hidden value= id= name=/ labelPort:/label a class=linkselectLink id=_link href=#Select city.../ainput type=hidden value= id= name=/ /td so, while the width the options for each SELECT is only appox 140px, LinkSelect executes the line if( width aw ) width = aw; and takes the WIDTH OF THE CONTAINER (td), which is way bigger - 330px in my case. Needless to say, the container turns to be excessively wide. I worked this around by enclosing my original SELECTs in a span. But the question to the developers of LinkSelect - is it the intended and correct behavior? Yes, this is the expected behavior and it's done by design. If the link is an inline element, then the container will size to it's parent element (unless the CSS rules change this behavior.) However, you can control this behavior via CSS by imposing a max-width to the container or by just altering the CSS, like in Example 10 (go to http://www.givainc.com/labs/linkselect_example.htm#example10 and click on the Select Style button; you'll see the width of the container is the same size as the anchor element.) -Dan

[jQuery] Re: mcdropdown mouseout problems
Ken,
I am trying to use mcdropdown for an easy search function for a
shopping cart.
The category list is long enough to force two columns. When mousing
from the first column to the second the entire menu will disappear.
In another case when drilling down below 3 levels if you mouse up to a
parent selection the entire menu will disappear.
My test page is at:
http://reloadinginternational.com/catalog/includes/index_nav.php
To experience the first issue select search by caliber and use the
mouse to select from the second column (works if you're really quick).
To experience the second issue, select search by manufacturer,
highlight a style, highlight a caliber. Then move the mouse back up to
the selected style.
This is an incredible plugin but these issues really limit it's use in
a lot of cases.
The problem is due to the anchor tags. That's going to cause problems with
the event handlers attached to the li / tags. What you need to do is
remove the anchor tags and select option to go to the URL:
$(#category).mcDropdown(#nav, {
select: function (value, display){
select.location = /catalog/index.php?cPath= + value;
}
});
This plug-in was really designed to be a form control, not a navigation
control (which is why anchors don't work well.)
If you remove the anchors and just use the code above, things should work
well.

[jQuery] Re: Dan Switzer's Autocomplete plugin - can I do this...
Andy,
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,Vehicle
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.
-Dan
[jQuery] Re: Dan Switzer's Autocomplete plugin - can I do this...

[jQuery] SOT: Documenting keyboard entry for select element
Has anyone seen any good documentation on how the keyboard selection works for the select / element in the various browsers. It looks like the behavior is pretty different in each browser. Firefox and IE7 allow variations of doing ba to select the first option with a string starting with ba, however the actual implementation differs (and quite frankly confusing.) IE6 only allows you to toggle through the first letter. So press b and then a would go to the first option starting with b and then go to the first option starting with a. I've been trying to find any documentation, preferable something really indepth. We've had some customers ask for use to replicate this behavior in a plug-in, but since the behavior is so different in all the browsers I'm trying to really fully understand how each method works before I make recommendations. -Dan

[jQuery] Re: do I need to use var $var = something
I've seen jQuery developers use the following syntax when declaring variables. Does the $ character help in any way? Does it do anything or is it mostly just for convenience. For example is this: var paras = $(p); better than this: var $paras = $(p); The $paras declaration identifies it as a jQuery object. The $ doesn't hold any special function, it's just a way of using Hungarian Notation. Take the following: var el = document.getElementById(products); var $el = $(el); You now you know that el is a reference to the straight DOM object, while $el is a reference to the jQuery equivalent. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: do I need to use var $var = something
Forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but...if I understand correctly, using $ is purely for the developers own benefit so they remember that the variable is using jQuery. Correct. That's the idea behind the Hungarian Notation (which I recommend you read up on if you want more information.) You're using pre-determined naming convention with variables so that you can easily identify the data type by the variable name. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: $(this) is powerful, but is it a member of the family?
I have two jQuery books and scant coverage of $(this) between them. I
need to know if $(this) has parents, children and siblings, and if so
how to access them. Here's why...
I have a page with six one-line forms on it. I put the forms in divs
and hide the divs on page load based on the class of the divs. Each
div has an immediate sibling a that will toggle the form on a click.
It works great if I write a separate function for each div, but I want
to combine them into one function, bind that function to all of the
a by ID and use $(this) to know which is which when the event fires.
No problem, except that I need to fire the event on the next sibling,
not on the element I get with $(this). I've tried using the + sign in
several ways, but nothing has worked so far. How do I select the
parent, child or sibling of $(this)?
This would attach the behavior to any link element with the class of
formToggle:
$(a.formToggle).click(function (e){
// this = anchor tag that was just clicked
$(this).prev().toggle();
});

I didn't notice any speed difference between the 2 pages. The fx fluidity seemed the same to me. What I would recommend doing any time you're having a problem, is updating to the latest build of jQuery. I see you're running v1.2.3 and v1.2.6 is the latest release. Upgrading to v1.2.6 will also remove the need for the jquery.dimension.js plug-in, since all that functionality is now integrated into jQuery. A couple of other notes: 1) You're using a speed of 1000ms (1 second) for your fx. You might want to use a faster speed. If you have a lot of stuff happening in the background (like lots of setIntervals or functions that keep calling setTimeout) then that can affect the fluidity of animations. 2) Since the content panel is draggable, I'd make sure you're running the latest version of the UI plug-ins too. There's been lots of work on these plug-ins to fix various bugs and issues. -Dan

[jQuery] Re: Custom sort on table cell attribute value in tablesorter plugin rather than innerHTML value: help please!
I am using the tablesorter plugin, which I really like. However, in
several of my table cells I have oddly formatted time values that look
like the following:
1d 12h 34m 25s
Which maps to:
1 day, 12 hours, 34 mins and 25 seconds
I cannot change how these values are displayed - they have to be in
that format. However, in my code I also create an attribute to the
table cell called sorttable_customval in which I insert the raw number
format as a float:
td sorttable_customkey=dlt sorttable_customval=65.093 1m 5s/
td
I have tried to write my own add-on to the tablesorter source code to
get this attribute value in the confines of the tablesorter
textExtraction method:
Javascript at the top of my webpage with the table
==
(#monitor).tablesorter({
textExtraction: 'customattribute',
debug: true,
widgets:['zebra']
})
The modified part of tablesorter.js (rows 233 and 234)
=
221 function getElementText(config,node) {
222
223 if(!node) return ;
224
225 var t = ;
226
227 if(config.textExtraction == simple) {
228 if(node.childNodes[0]
node.childNodes[0].hasChildNodes()) {
229 t = node.childNodes[0].innerHTML;
230 } else {
231 t = node.innerHTML;
232 }
233 } else if(config.textExtraction ==
customattribute) {
234 t = $(node).attr('sorttable_customval');
235 } else {
236 if(typeof(config.textExtraction) ==
function) {
237 t = config.textExtraction(node);
238 } else {
239 t = $(node).text();
240 }
241 }
242 return t;
243 }
I thought this would work, but I get the following error in Firebug:
s is undefinedjquery.tablesorter.js (line 703)
return $.trim(s.toLowerCase());
The problem with using the textExtraction (at least from my understanding)
is that it works for all columns. So, I suspect the error is coming from the
fact that the 'sorttable_customval' only existing on some columns and is
returning undefined for the other columns (thus breaking $.trim().)
You were close when you wrote a custom parser--which is the way I've solved
this problem in the past. The problem is you used the is option instead of
the function option.
Try this:
$.tablesorter.addParser({
id: 'dlt',
is: function (s){ return false },
format: function(value, table, cell){
return cell.parentNode.getAttribute('sorttable_customval');
},
type: 'numeric'
});
In the format option, the value is what's coming back from the
textExtraction method. In this case, we want to ignore this value all
together, and instead use the cell to extract the attribute.

[jQuery] Re: Strange jQuery cross-browser problem
Vladimir, We are developing a site at http://www.trashortreasure.com.au/ When you click on an icon on a Google map, the info window opens and when you click on read more it should open a thickbox. Problem is that some of our users report the feature not working in FF3. Then for some it doesn't work in IE6. For others it works. Most of them got it to work in IE7. That's a strange FF3 and IE6 consistency problem. I was wondering if you can you have a go with it and see if you can spot anything unusual? My guess is it's not a browser problem, but a JS problem. I just took a look at your tb_show() function and that thing is huge. You also have everything in a try/catch block with the catch just doing nothing--which is probably what's happening. You might want to add a statement to your catch block that sends the error to your server--that way you can view the exceptions being thrown. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: Best way to detect between jQuery triggered event and actual browser-based event...
Hmmm...that hasn't come up for me yet. Seems like the way you're doing it would be the way to go for now. Maybe in the next jQuery version they could add a key internalTrigger or something like that to the event object when the trigger method is run. Needing to determine the difference is a corner case, but it's an issue I've run into from time-to-time. For example, I've got a plug-in where I've got a click event set to toggle the current visibility of an element. However, if I call that event programmatically I always want to make sure that it shows the element (and doesn't toggle the state.) As I said, it's a corner case but one I've run into a few times in the past 6 months. -Dan

The ctrlKey is only available when a keyboard event occurs. I needed
something that works for the click event too. There may be some issues with
this, so it would be nice if a jQuery event object had: e.jquery = true.
That would make my code fullproof.

[jQuery] Re: How to center text (sweet mother of mary can it be this hard?)
ltg,
I really did not want to post here and ask for help on centering
text. But I have created the simplest possible JQuery sample page,
used Firebug, and still can't figure it out.
Can anyone say what it would take to center text on this page:
http://dev.hdgreetings.com/test.htm
You can do this purely in CSS:
.redButton {
background-color:#E5214B;
color:white;
font-family:arial;
font-weight:bolder;
font-size:16px;
letter-spacing: 0.5pt;
text-align:center;
width:150px;
height:50px;
/* center text */
position: fixed !important;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -25px
margin-left: -75px;
}
The idea is you're placing the div in the middle of the screen and then
using negative margins so that the very middle of the div is now dead
center. Without the negative margins, the top left of the div is in the
middle of the screen.
Also, I had to use the !important directive on the position, since the
corner plug-in looks to be setting the position to relative. You could use
either an absolute position or a fixed position. I used fixed in this
example so that even if you scroll, the layer will stay dead center (which I
thought is probably what you were going after.

[jQuery] Best way to detect between jQuery triggered event and actual browser-based event...
Just curious as to everyone's recommendations on detecting the difference between a jQuery created event object (i.e. $(#el).trigger(click)) and a real event object (i.e. create by the browser.) Right now I'm doing: if( !(ctrlKey in e) ) I believe the ctrlKey should be sent by every browser when the event action occurs via a user's action, but just wanted to know if there's a better way. It would be really nice if jQuery would pass a key that indicates whether an event object is generated by the browser or by jQuery. I've come across a few occasions were I needed to do different things based on how the event was being triggered. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: Google Analytics Tracking with JQuery
Gaudicia,
I just started looking into JQuery and I have a few questions. Mostly
about how to make tagging my links with google analytics tracking
faster.
I want to be able to track my outgoing links, which I've read is
possible, but I really haven't see anything about tracking third party
booking engines.
So basically what I want is this.
If I have links linking to my domain or an eCommerce or booking
engine, I don't want those links to be tagged as outgoing. However,
if the link is to a booking engine/eCommerce I want them to be tagged
like this:
a href= https://www.securecart.com/?store=parameters;
onclick=pageTracker._link(this.href); return false;Purchase Now/a
or like this a
href=javascript:openWindow(pageTracker._getLinkerUrl('http://
bookingengine.com'))Booking Engine/a
What you're looking to do is very easy:
$(a).click(function (){
pageTracker._link(this.href);
return false;
});
a href=https://www.securecart.com/?store=parameters;Purchase Now/a
Or if you only wanted to track specific links:
$(a.track).click(function (){
pageTracker._link(this.href);
return false;
});
a href=https://www.securecart.com/?store=parameters;
class=trackPurchase Now/a
Also, I'm not sure how Google Analytics link tracking works, but just
remember that if JS is disabled, no tracking will occur.

[jQuery] Re: New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown
Tony, I was able to fix by own bug. I commented out like 899 ($self.blur();) and added a return true after line 901. That makes it so if you hit tab while at the end of the tree the tab will bubble up to the browser which will move focus to the next item. I tested in IE7 and FF4 and it works great. On line 150 I added tabindex=999 so that pressing tab would move from the dropdown to the next form field. Without the tabindex the next tab moved the selection to the dropdown arrow image, which isn't how a standard dropdown works. On an unrelated issue this plugin doesnt' work with jQuery.noConflict(). That probably doesn't matter for most people but I'm transitioning from prototype and need to use noConflict. I just replaced $. with jQuery and $( with jQuery( and it everything worked great. I just pushed out a new build that should resolve all the issue you were having. My fixes were a bit different, but they should do exactly what you're wanting (for example, I'm using tabindex=-1 which should prevent the dropdown anchor from being in the tab order altogether.) v1.2 (2008-06-26) * Added focus() method * Fixed autocomplete list from showing dropdown when go back levels in FF3 * Fixed autocomplete list corruption in when go back levels after using mouse * Added tabindex=-1 to the dropdown arrow (so it shouldn't recieve focus on tabbing) * Fixed tabbing behavior so hitting [TAB] should go to the next element in the tabindex * Autocomplete no longer shows (by default) if the input is empty and recieves focus (use the setting.showACOnEmptyFocus to control this behavior) * Added setting.showACOnEmptyFocus (used for controlling whether the autocomplete list shows on focus if list is empty; default = false) * Fixed noConflict() bug (where $ wasn't being properly scoped) http://www.givainc.com/labs/mcdropdown_jquery_plugin.htm -Dan
[jQuery] Re: [autocomplete] combobox behaviour (and SELECT/OPTION accesibility)
Enrique, thank you, I'll test that and check speed for local 6.000 options (our customers/vendors)... Replacing 6,000 items is going to be slow. Quite frankly, that's a job for AJAX. A select element w/6,000 items not only is a lot of content to push to the client, it's a usability nightmare. That's really a perfect candidate for AJAX. If you really require unobtrusive JS, from a UI standpoint I think you'd be better breaking that list down for the user (either by splitting things up alphabetically or by categories.) You can then always replace that with the autocomplete box if JS is enabled. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown
Josh, Very nice! One small issue...if I click in the main part of the dropdown, rather than on the down arrow, I can't select any options with the mouse.

You should now be able to use the mouse to select options in the autocomplete option. -Dan

[jQuery] Re: New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown
Graeme, This plugin looks really cool! I found a small issue: If you load the page for the first time (in ff3) and just click on the blank area in the dropdown (instead of the down arrow) there is no animation when it expands down and the hierarchy arrows don't work when you use the mouse. If you then click the down arrow and go down a level or two in the hierarchy and don't select something and go back to clicking on the blank area of the dropdown, the formatting gets messed up (large vertical spacing of the Entertainment entry in the demo). 1) If you click inside the text box, you go into keyboard entry mode--so you're actually seeing the autocomplete box, not the dropdown menu. You can change the styles in the CSS to make this look however you want (so that you can make it look visual different.) Currently, when you're in keyboard entry mode you can not use the mouse to select entries. You can disable keyboard support by using a div/ element instead of an input/ element and then clicking inside would always cause the same menu as dropdown arrow. 2) The second issue (with the large vertical spacing) seems to be related to the Chili plug-in (which is used for syntax highlighting.) The problem seems to be random and only occurs when Firebug reports Chili errors (at least that's the only time I've seen the behavior.) I've never seen the behavior on a page that doesn't have the Chili plug-in. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown
Stan, Very nice plugin! I second Jorn's thought on the usage of both modes. I found myself slightly confused at first when I went into keyboard mode and couldn't click on anything. Seems to be an issue too when you click on the arrow, the menu is expanded and then you proceed to click on the white area that would normally trigger the keyboard mode. I know Safari wasn't in your list of supported browsers, but I did notice that the keyboard mode didn't seem to work correctly in Safari 3.1 on OS X. Safari has a fairly decent user base, especially amongst the jQuery crowd and I could see this as advantageous to you to get the plugin more circulated. All in all, excellent plugin - I will likely use it on a project of my own. What about the keyboard functionality isn't working? Is it not working at all, or just not working correctly? Unfortunately capturing keyboard entry is really a PITA. It varies drastically from browser-to-browser even on the same OS. It certainly does not surprise me it's not working correctly on Mac Safari. Obviously, if you find a fix, please let me know. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: tablesorter: Glue two rows together

With my mod you can add the CSS class of expand-child to each paired tr/ element in order to group the tr/ tags together. You can change the CSS class with the cssChildRow option. You can actually have multiple rows grouped together. Basically what happens is every consecutive tr/ tag with the expand-child class is going to be grouped with the last tr/ tag without the css class.

[jQuery] Re: easy way to get all input value
Jack, I asked this via another thread, but no reply yet... so tossing it in here, too. Do you know if *any* selector can be used with .formHash() or just an id for a form? IE, if I have a few divs inside a form can I use a div id to just get the formHash for form fields inside that div? If your selector returns multiple form elements, then it will process them. You can't feed it the div directly, but you can do any of the following: div form, #someElement form, form.someClass, .someClass, form, etc, etc. Whatever jQuery object is passed to the hashForm() method is then filtered for just form elements. So even if .someClass was assigned to various elements, it uses the filter() method to limit the collection to just form elements. -Dan

Hi,
what would you consider the 'best practice' to access form input
values?
Having an input field
input value=New topic class=inputEdit name=title
type=text
I could use
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').val()
or
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]title]').val()
or
$('[name=title]').val()
or
$('[name=title]').val()
(
I also once observed, that the right side of the '=' was evaluated, so
it was possible to write
var x = 'title';
$('[name=x]')
but i could not reproduce it today, so maybe I'm wrong.
)
Of course assigning an additional id
input value=New topic class=inputEdit name=title
type=text id=title
would allow for
$('#title')
but that appears to be somewhat redundant to me.
In short I am looking for the most simple built-in syntax to access
form values, like prototype's $F().
This means that querying option lists should return a list of selected
values (or texts), and text areas should work also.
Thanks

I have a default image loaded into an img tag with an id of specialImage. I also have a select box which displays a list of vehicles.

When the user selects a vehicle, I want to change the src of the img tag but I'm running into a few issues that I'm not sure how to get around. 1) Because I'm not using an AJAX call, I don't know if the file actually exists on the server. A few images are then showing as broken which is a big no no. 2) The images being loaded in aren't huge, but they might be 40k or so. Because I'm simply changing the src, I can't display a loading image while the requested image is loading. Are there ways around this? I'm thinking I could do an AJAX call to get the response headers for the file. When I trigger the AJAX call, I'd display the loading image. Then, if the response comes back 200, then I can display the actual file, if not, I can display a no image available image. Any thoughts on this method? Is there a better way to do this?

[jQuery] Re: Tablesorter - Disabled Header Options with Pager
In most cases, you never want to call the same plug-in twice on a set of
jQuery objects that initialize a behavior on the page (you called
tablesorter() twice in your incorrect example.) This is because in most
cases you're applying the behavior twice and may end up with really bizarre
results.

Subject: [jQuery] Tablesorter - Disabled Header Options with Pager
This week I've been working on implementing Tablesorter. It's a great
Jquery table sorting utility, but I spent quite a bit of time trying
to figure out why I could only sort columns in descending order while
using the pager plugin when I set the header option to disable some
columns. I didn't see anything on here about it so, I thought I would
post my fix / solution.
Below, the incorrect way to do it.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#SearchResultsTable).tablesorter({
// pass the headers argument and assing a object
headers: {
0: {
// disable it by setting the property sorter to false
sorter: false
},
4: {
// disable it by setting the property sorter to false
sorter: false
}
}
})
.tablesorter({widthFixed: true, widgets: ['zebra']})
.tablesorterPager({
container: $(#ctl00_MainContent_pager),
positionFixed: false
}); ;
});
From what I've discovered, you really need to pass all the parameters
in one pass like below:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#SearchResultsTable)
.tablesorter({
headers: {0: {sorter: false},6: {sorter: false}},
widgets: ['zebra']
})
.tablesorterPager({
container: $(#ctl00_MainContent_pager),
positionFixed: false
});
});
Above, I am calling table sorter to disable columns 0 and 6, use the
zebra widget, then call the tablesorter Pager plugin.
[jQuery] Re: Filtering charachter input with jquery/javascript
Giovanni,
You need to use the keypress event if you truly want to know which character
was pressed.
However, IE6 doesn't register the keypress event for certain non-printable
characters (like the backspace, the arrow keys, etc.) So, for IE6 you need
to capture those characters either on keydown (which I prefer) or keyup and
then call your event handler function (onlyNumbers) for when those keys are
pressed.

Subject: [jQuery] Filtering charachter input with jquery/javascript
Hi, I'm having a problem filtering keyboard input in a text field.
Here is the page with the test:
http://lab.gianiaz.com/jquery/filter_input/
I use this function to catch the key pressed by the user:
function onlyNumbers(e) {
key = e.keyCode;
if(debug) log(onlyNumbers\nkey_code:+key);
if ((key==null) || (key==0) || (key==8) || (key==9) || (key==13) ||

if(((0123456789.,).indexOf(keychar) -1)) {
if(debug) log('OK');
return true;
}
if(debug) log('KO');
return false;
}
But If I press a number it works, when I press the dot or the
comma key I receive this:
onlyNumbers key_code:190
keychar:¾
KO
onlyNumbers key_code:188
keychar:¼
KO
Can you help me understand why it doensn't works?

[jQuery] Re: Java applet doesn't load when markup loaded via jquery
I've had a ton of problems using Applets on a page with jQuery in FF2
because FF does not like jQuery accessing the expando elements when the
window.onunload event runs.
I've had to revert to using an iframe to load my applets in, so that it can
be embedded in a page without jQuery. Perhaps you can do the same thing in
your tab. Just load the applet in a iframe that only displays the applet.

Follow up - I can get my applet loaded and running in a jquery tab
(issue above was applet-specific) but this leads to another question -
Is there a way ui.tabs could work that allowed an applet to stay
loaded?
I've been reading up on this and it appears there is a workaround for
hiding and revealing DIVs without unloading an applet but
jquery.ui.tabs doesn't do this.
Any thoughts?

[jQuery] Preventing text field focus() when user tabs to field...
I'm working on an input field where I need to disable the browser from
automatically doing this.select() on an input text field. In a nutshell,
I've got an input box I basically am treating like a masked input.
The reason is I'm manually pre-selecting a text range. If I invoke my
function to pre-select the correct text asynchronously (via setTimeout) it
works correctly, but you get a very brief flash as the browser natively does
a select() on the text already in the input field.
I've tried using both e.preventDefault() and e.stopPropagation(), but
neither stopped the behavior in FF. Returning false doesn't prevent the
behavior either.
Here's basically what the code looks like:
$(input#myField).bind(focus, function (){
setTimeout(function (){
// preselect just the first 2 chars
setSelection(this, 0, 2);
}, 0);
});
// set the text selected in a text field
function setSelection(field, start, end) {
if( field.createTextRange ){
var selRange = field.createTextRange();
selRange.collapse(true);
selRange.moveStart(character, start);
selRange.moveEnd(character, end);
selRange.select();
} else if( field.setSelectionRange ){
field.setSelectionRange(start, end);
} else {
if( field.selectionStart ){
field.selectionStart = start;
field.selectionEnd = end;
}
}
field.focus();
};
Does anyone know of a trick to completely prevent FF from trying to select
all the text in a field automatically?

Hi,
I'm trying the autocomplete plugin from:

I have a problem with the onSelectItem option that I suppose it will
be triggered when I select a value, right?
So i would like to do something when the value is selected, but It
doesn't work with my code:
script type='text/javascript'
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$(#searchbox).autocomplete(db.php, {
minChars:2,

onSelectItem:function(){
alert('Hello');
},

});
/script
input type=text name=myinput id=searchbox class=ac_input
Everything works fine but the onSelectItem option seems to do nothing,
any ideas?
thank you very much

[jQuery] Re: Preventing text field focus() when user tabs to field...
Karl, I don't know off-hand, but the first place I'd look would be Josh Bush's Masked Input plugin. He has done a ton of work to make it an excellent plugin, so I'm guessing you could get some ideas by looking at his code: http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin Hope that helps. I looked there after I made my post and he's also using setTimeout to do it asynchronously--so there may not be a cross browser way to actually stop the default behavior (there might be, but Josh didn't have a solution either.) -Dan
[jQuery] Re: Expression/Selector question...
Karl,
Yeah, it's also strange that while this doesn't work:
$(body ul li).filter($li[0]);
this does:
$(body ul li).not($li[0]);
I'm a little lost by your parents example, though. Not sure exactly
what you're trying to get (esp. since you don't show where you've
declared $el and $parent.
Let's say you have:
ul
li id=1
Parent 1
ul
li id=2
Child 1
/li
/ul
/li
/ul
What I want to do is see if Child 1 has Parent 1 somewhere in it's
parent path. I don't really care if Child 1 would be a child of a child of
a child, just that at some point Parent 1 was actually in the parent path.
So, I would expect to be able to do:
var $p = $(#1);
$(#2).parents($p);
Well this does work:
$(#2).parents(#1);
It doesn't work for me, since the actually expression I need to check
against a jQuery object that can't be reliable queried through a pure
CSS-style selector.
couldn't you do something like
$el.parent() ?
or $el.parent('.someclass') ?
or $el.parents('.someclass:first') ?
(just using class in the parents filter because not sure what you're
after).
As I stated, using a CSS expression doesn't work for me because I'm actually
checking to see if another jQuery object is somewhere in the parent's tree.

[jQuery] Re: use jQuery selector on IE5.5
Angus,
I just know that in jQuery + IE5.5 most selectors return empty array.
After digging into source code I found that it will try to get the
nodeName and nodeType of document (nodeType=9) which IE 5.5's document
element doesn't have these two attributes. As a quick fix I add the
following lines at the beginning of my HTML:
if (document) {
if (!document.nodeType) document.nodeType = 9;
if (!document.nodeName) document.nodeName = '#document';
}
and all of my selector works. Of course there should be other cases
failed in IE 5.5 but at least simple selectors will work
Hope this help
Just so you know IE 5.5 is not supported by jQuery. So while this fix may
work for what you needed it for, it's likely that you'll run into other
problems with various jQuery code or plug-ins.

[jQuery] Re: How to access TableSorter configuration properties
Carl, I'm using the TableSorter plugin on a table that will have new rows appended to it by AJAX calls. I want to resort the table using the current sort settings after new rows are added. I am using the TableSorter .trigger(update) and .trigger(sorton, [sorting]) methods to resort the table. I need to access the tablesorter config object to extract the SortList. How can I do this? A couple of weeks ago I created a mod of the TableSorter code: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2008/3/28/Finished-jQuery-Tablesorter-m od-for-Collapsible-Table-Rows My mod using the jQuery .data() method to set the config options for the current table, so you should be able to do: var config = $.data(tableElement, tablesorter); To get the config options. While this is a mod, Christian has said my changes will be implemented in the next release of the tablesorter code (although I can't say whether or not he'll revise how I implemented things.) -Dan
[jQuery] Re: SOT: Using iframe to load in a Flash movie with dynamic height
Andy, I've been dealing with this irritating issue on and off now for about a month. I'm finally going to ask for help. I have a page here: http://lexusofdanversma.redlinecontent.com/Pages/Page.cfm?pageID=118873 It contains a Flash movie whose height is set dynamically based on it's content. The Flash movie might be 250px tall, or it might be 700px tall depending on what it's currently displaying. This page works perfectly. However the client has another site on which they have an iframe which loads in the above page. On THAT page, the content of the Flash movie is getting cut off for some reason. You can see my quick example here: http://www.commadelimited.com/uploads/iframe.html Notice that when the Flash movie first loads, the bottom inch or so is getting cut off. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how I might go about fixing it? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. This is where Firebug comes in handy--as it lets you easily find padding/margin problems. It's padding and margins on your body, td and form tags that are probably the root cause. If you remove the padding/margin on those tags it basically fixes the problem. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: SOT: Using iframe to load in a Flash movie with dynamic height
Andy, So your'e saying that even though the page works fine when not loaded into an iframe, it's still a padding issue? That sounds odd to me. I'll check it though...that'd be a great thing to have fixed. You may have a different style sheet being loaded. Also, if you're opening the IFRAME up to the exact dimensions you're expecting, but haven't accounted for the padding and margins, then the height won't match up.
[jQuery] Re: clone() not maintaining checked state of cloned checkbox inputs
Jim, I'm using the following code to get all selected checkboxes from my html page and copy them into the form I'm about to submit: $ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]'BatchItem']:checked).clone().appendTo(#checkboxContainer) ; I'm pretty certain that with previous versions of jquery (specifically 1.2.1), this was working for me, but since I've upgraded to 1.2.3, the cloned checkboxes are no longer checked when the form is submitted. I've had to add additional code to specifically re-check them after the cloning. Has anyone noticed similar behavior? It seems to me that the checked state should be maintained during cloning. I've seen this behavior in IE 6 7. The fix I used was (for IE) to copy over the HTML: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2007/7/16/IE6--IE7-quirks-with-cloneNod e-and-form-elements You'd probably want to use outerHTML in your instance, but I believe that will fix the problem.

I know there are several little quirks with the clone() method right now--and this is one of them. -Dan

Then I select '10' (to go back to 10 results per page) and everything is displayed fine and correct. Any help? Try setting the positionFixed to false. -Dan
[jQuery] Re: Brain fade...how do you destroy a div?
Sounds like an odd way to do it, just do

You'd really need to do:
$('span').fadeOut(function (){ $(this).remove() });
To make sure you don't remove the element until after the animation has
finished.
