[jQuery] Populate plugin updated (plugin to fill forms using JSON)
Hi Everyone, I've finally updated my Populate plugin, which populates a form using JSON data. This plugin supports full PHP hierarchical naming and deep JSON data structures, as well as checkbox arrays and other non-standard UI controls. The plugin can be used as part of your AJAX toolkit, or for separating server-side code from HTML by populating a form after the page has loaded. The project homepage is here: http://www.keyframesandcode.com/code/development/javascript/jquery-populate-plugin/ And I have finally got round to providing demos! Including: * Populating a simple form, using string variable types for textfields, radiobuttons, dropdowns and checkboxes * Populating a complex form, using array variable types for checkbox arrays and multi-list boxes * Populating a hierarchical form, using hierarchical JSON data You can access full instructions and the demo page here: http://www.keyframesandcode.com/resources/javascript/jQuery/demos/populate-demo.html If you'd like to report any bugs, or have features included I've not thought of, please respond via the commenting system on the project home page. Cheers, Dave
[jQuery] Highlight plugin updated (highlight elements and related elements as you interact with them)
Hi Everyone, I've recently updated my Highlight plugin, which is designed to increases usability by highlighting elements as you interact with the page. Its primary use is for forms, but it can also be used for tables, lists, or any element you specify. Examples uses: * Form-filling can be made clearer by highlighting the element around a control as you tab into it * Table rows can be made more visible as you pass the mouse over them, or click them * Elements can be toggled on and off as you click them The project homepage is here: http://www.keyframesandcode.com/code/development/javascript/jquery-highlight-plugin/ And I have finally got round to providing demos! Including: * Highlighting the areas around form controls as you tab into / focus upon them * Highlighting table rows or cells as you rollover them * Toggling table rows as you click them * Highlighting list items and sub items as you rollover them You can access full instructions and the demo page here: http://www.keyframesandcode.com/resources/javascript/jQuery/demos/highlight-demo.html If you'd like to report any bugs, or have features included I've not thought of, please respond via the commenting system on the project home page.

Hey Stephen, RegExps are always going to be slower than a basic indexOf, so perhaps when you loop through the names you could try running an indexOf first, then if it comes out positive, only then do you the RegExp replacement. I imagine that there would be a cutoff point where the performance increase would or would not be apparent. Glad to help! :D
[jQuery] Re: trying to find the first instance of a person's name on the page
As well, when your name list gets rather large, I'm sure other pre-
processing routines could speed things up.
For example, you could split the XML list into 26 sections, based on
First Name, then text the html for which Capital letters it contains.
You then only loop through again for those names which contain those
capital letters.
I'm sure there's lots of other optimization routines out there too,
like B-Trees (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree) and what have you.

[jQuery] Mac OS X default system drag and drop is overriding Interface's drag and drop
Hi all, I'm developing a back end for a photographer's agent, and she wants the site to be mainly drag 'n' drop thumbnail images, so she can create collections of various images, by dragging from various bins. So I've started with a styled ul list of images, and each li contains an img. Each img aligns to the middle of it's li so the whole thing looks like a grid of slides. I'm using the Interface plugin and it's all working great; I can grab the lis and it's easy to re-arrange them. However - with the Mac, when you go to click on the li the browser intercepts the click on the img and thinks you want to drag the image to your desktop! Any functionality gained through Interface is lost. Does anyone have any solutions? I'm going to look at placing some kind of div over the top, but I wanted to ask here first. Cheers, Dave

Not sure, but from an id/class point of view, any page id should be unique, so your order identifier if it is to be used on many TDs, should really be a class=order.

OK - this is the best I could come up:

It adds to the global namespace (so won't work with prototype for

Thoughts?
[jQuery] jQuery won't recognise attribute names containing [square brackets]
I'm finding it impossible using jQuery to select any attributes with square brackets in them. I'm sure most people know PHP uses square brackets within form element names to submit multi-dimensional arrays, ie: contact[name] contact[email] contact[telephone] contact[options][option 1] contact[options][option 2] contact[options][option 3] This is read natively by PHP as: contact = array ( name, email, telephone, options = array( option 1, option 2, option 3 ) ) In a way, jQuery's refusal to recognise square brackets makes sense, as it leans towards attribute selectors (which are fantastic tools), but vanilla getDocuementById() works, so I'm wondering why jQuery hasn't some kind of check for this kind of thing? In the meantime, does anyone have any best-practice workarounds to this issue, for example for the above data structure? Combined selectors, e.g. #contact-email and separate selectors e.g. #contact #email offer different advantages. Has anyone any preferences, and why?? Many thanks, Dave Stewart
[jQuery] Re: jQuery won't recognise attribute names containing [square brackets]
Wow, that's really useful to know, thanks Karl. I think I'll just use a regular expression: selector = selector.replace(/(\[|\])/g, '\$1') It would be really useful if this were an option, somehow. My jQuery- foo is not all that. Any ideas, anyone? Cheers, Dave
[jQuery] Re: [validate] Validation Plugin - how to remove a control form validation
Hi Jorn, Sorry for teh delay - was ill yesterday so took a day off. Well it looks like you've made some amendments to the code, so I don't think I can reproduce the steps now, but, this is what *did* happen: 1 - new page, no email or password 2 - click Email my password - Email validation message is displayed - Password validation is hidden 3 - enter email address password bit now click Login - nothing happens 4 - click Login again - Password validation message is displayed 5 - Enter password and click Login Looking forward to what you come up with. Cheers, Dave
[jQuery] Re: [validate] Validation Plugin - how to remove a control form validation
Hey Jorn, Actually the main form image are part of the Art and Science of CSS book (hell, they published it, so I guess you can) but you could just specify no bg image and have coloured blocks instead. The highlight code is mine, but I've updated the first line to cleaner jQuery to read var elements = $(input[type!='submit'], textarea, select) And also, change the page title! Just checked the code. Looks pretty good, however if the user decides halfway through that he does remember his password, and clicks Login, he then has to click it a second time to get the password validation to kick in. Is there a solution for this? Looking good though! :D
[jQuery] Re: [validate] Validation Plugin - how to remove a control form validation
Hi Jorn,
Firstly, thanks for putting the time into this. It is appreciated.
I've updated the live page with some new code that strips the
validation metadata and that portion works great in isolation.
However, it leaves the form exposed if the email address does not
validate the first time, as the password now requires no validation!
Thus you can fail the email the first time (by leaving it blank) and
clicking the Forgot email link, then enter your email and submit.
The password validation has been wiped, so the form will now submit,
password-less! Ouch...
Therefore I attempted to:
1) store the password settings
2) then test-validate the form using $
(#login).validate().form()
3) restore the original settings if teh form fails.
However, this is quite a hacky solution (check the code!). A better
solution perhaps would be to keep all the previously-setup validation
values, and instead set a temporary ignore flag on the password
field.
$(#form).validate({ignore:'#password'})
Then, you just submit as normal, and Validation processes all the
element except the ignored elements.
If the submission fails on any other element all ignored elements are
restored and the form is one again bullet-proof, ready for another
submission.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Dave

Ok, I think I found the issue here. Its caused by the metadata plugin,
which caches the data it reads from the DOM. So setting attr(validate)
yields nothing, because the validation plugin uses metadata() to access
the metadata which uses jQuery's data API to cache the value. So in this
case this removes the required rule from the password field:
delete $(#password).metadata().required;
Hope that works for you. Let me know about the results, I'd like to add
that to a FAQ or as an example in the docs somewhere.

[jQuery] [validate] Validation Plugin - how to remove a control form validation
Hi there
I'm building a login form, with a Forgot password link. When
clicked, I need to unset some validation options to successfully
submit the form.
The code I'm running does this:
1 - remove the validation constraints from the password field
2 - hide any error messages that were displayed for the password
field
3 - submit the form using form.submit()
However, I can't seem to do either properly. Here's the code I'm
using:
$('#password').attr('validation', '')
$('label.error[for=password]').hide()
$(#login).validate()
The problems are:
1 - form.submit() seems to bypass any of the validation
2 - if I click the submit button manually, the initial validation
kicks in and the password error is re-displayed
Can anyone shed any light on what I should be doing. I'm not sure if
there are already options for this, alrthough I've looked through the
docs several times over.
Thanks,

[jQuery] Re: Validation Plugin - Associate array naming with a single error label
I made a small discovery (in my sleep no less!) that works in HTML, but screws up the PHP: HTML: If I put the array properties in single quotes (the spaces are to make it clearer), the controls are validated as a group! This is good. input type=checkbox name=group[ ' property_1 ' ] / input type=checkbox name=group[ ' property_2 ' ] / PHP: However, the PHP also receives those single quotes, so variable names now come through like this: [ ' property_1 ' ] = 1 [ ' property_2 ' ] = 2 This is not good. Hopefully someone (Jorn!?) will have the solution. Thanks, Dave
[jQuery] Re: Google map plugin?
Hi Chris, The trick to Google Maps (for me at least) was getting to know the basics of the OOPness of it all. EVERYTHING (just about) is an object. You rarely pass values, you normally instantiate objects, then pass them. For example, in the example Bohdan gave, you would have to 1) create the Point, then instantiate a 2) new Marker with it, then 3) add the Marker to the map. (From memory, but you get the idea) You only need to know a few basic objects, and you're away, although the size of the API can be overwhelming the basics are easy to get. Hope that helps. :D

[jQuery] [validate] Validation Plugin - Associate array naming with a single error label
Hey folks, I often pass variables to the backend using associative arrays.

Is there currently a way for the plugin to recognise that the 2 items ARE in fact an array? Can I use some kind of wildcard or selector in the for attribute of the error label? For reference, PHP will see the values like this: Array ( [group] = Array ( [property_1] = 1 [property_2] = 2 ) ) I can upload a live version if necessary. Cheers, Dave
[jQuery] Re: Parsing XML using jQuery
Not sure if this is the best reply, but in order to access the

Then you can use jQuery to traverse the tree.

[jQuery] Re: using a different tag than label for error messages
Hi MorningZ, I just did some quick Googling on the matter, and turned up this useful link: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200711/use_the_label_element_to_make_your_html_forms_accessible/ Each label element can only be associated with a single form control, while a form control may have several labels associated with it. This could be very useful for displaying hints and error messages since it would let you separate those messages in the markup for much easier positioning and styling. Unfortunately my limited screen reader testing (JAWS 8.0 and VoiceOver) of multiple labels suggests that screen readers ignore them. So it appears you are right in your semantics argument! My worry was that a single label ONLY should be used to describe the form control, such as Username, and additional labels would only serve to confuse; for example a user might think a form control had TWO names. Then again, it appears that screen readers mostly ignore additional labels. But I think I'm going to go with labels over divs for the time being. I now agree that they are the best in this situation, so thanks for spurring me to look further. Cheers, Dave

SORRY - the word [jQuery Validation Plugin] was supposed to appear in the title, but didn't. Hello Diego, Sorry, it's a separate question, actually.

To restate the problem: Using the jQuery Validation Plugin, you can associate an element (in this case a label) with a form element in which you might display an validation error message when validating the form. The way how the plugin seems to work is to look for an associated label using the label's for attribute. I want to know if I can use any other element, such as a div, rather than a label, as I'm already using one label.

[jQuery] getScript Safari fix
I have no idea if this possible solution to making getScript work
across all browsers (including Safari) has already been mentioned, but
I thought I'd provide it in case anyone was looking for a way. I've
seen uses of timeouts and such to try to figure out when a script has
been loaded, but ultimately I think this solution is better. It gets
javascript (and css) by means of AJAX, then dynamically creates style
and script tags and appends the text content of the ajax response. Of
course a few browser specific fixes are incorporated, but that's the
gist of it. I made this plugin for personal use a couple months ago,
and I guess I should have probably shared it back then, but I hope
better late than never.
An example use of this plugin would be:
$(#load).click(function(){

This uses $.include to dynamically load each listed file one after the
other. It might be beneficial because it doesn't load the script for
making jqModal work until it's needed. This might not be the best
example, but it shows what it can do.

* hard time figuring out a way to ensure js/css is loaded before
proceeding with the next file
* - use ajax to get js/css file then inject it in a new script/
style tag
*
* hard time trying to figure out why safari wouldn't work with
either:
* - script.onload
* - script.text
* finally found http://tobielangel.com/2007/2/23/to-eval-or-not-to-eval
* - append javscript text to script tag with
document.createTextNode
*
* keep in mind that no two external files should have the same name,
becase path is disregarded
*
* Options:
* - sync: determines whether or not the files are load
synchronously (Default: true)
* - onload: the function to run after all the files are loaded
(Default: null)
* - jsBase: the base directory where javascript files are found
(Default: '')
* - cssBase: the base directory where css files are found (Default:
'')
