[jQuery] basic news ticker

2009-02-24 Thread Ettiene

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a news ticker script that horizontally slides 1
item from right to left in a box. Most news ticker scripts use
multiple items for this, but my needs are somewhat different.

Well I've kinda got it working, except for when I hover over it. Then
when the cursor goes away, the speed's been affected as well as the
item stops ticking by. Here is my code:

[jQuery] error - name.match is not a function

2009-02-23 Thread Ettiene

On line 782 of jquery-1.3.1.js this line of code makes this error:
name.match is not a function.

On line 782 there is:
if ( name.match( /float/i ) )

I'm trying to write a news scroller This is my code:

$(document).ready(function() {
function scroller() {
$(div#newsticker ul li).animate(
$(this).css(left, -200px),

$(this).css(left, 200px);
scroller();

);
}
scroller();
});

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2009-02-23 Thread Ettiene

Ok this is what the solution should look like, but I'm not getting it
working so that if I hover then the sliding should stop, and when
hovering out, it should continue sliding again.:

$(document).ready(function() {
function scroller() {
$('#newsticker ul li').animate(
{left: -200px},
2000,
linear,
function(){
$(this).css(left, 200px);
scroller();
}
)
.hover(
jQuery(this).stop(),
function(){
$(this).css(left, 
$(this).offset.left);
scroller();
});
};
scroller();
});

[jQuery] Simple Accordion menu script

2008-12-18 Thread Ettiene

Hi there,

I've implemented the accordion menu from this site:
http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/jquery-accordion-menu-redux2/

It works vry well, markup is cleaner than any other jquery accordion
script I've come across sofar, but I need some help with the
functionality.

Basically how this script works, is that when you click on an item
with sub-items, it just expands the sub-items. How would one typically
go about if you would like to navigate to one of the parent items
and not just expand the sub-items.? Also can someone please help me
implement this solution into the javascript? I'm not sure how to do
it.


Thanks

[jQuery] Re: How to pass a jQuery object to PHP as an array

2008-11-03 Thread Ettiene

Have a look at JSON. PHP's got a json_encode function where you can
encode variables/data to json, and then use in javascript. So I guess
it could be done the other way around too.

[jQuery] idTabs and hoverintent

2008-10-29 Thread Ettiene

Hi there,

I've implemented idTabs on a website and used the mouseover event to
toggle between the tabs. Now I've been thinking of also integrating
the hoverintent plugin, so the tabs only change when it looks like the
user wants to hover there.

Can anybody please help me with this? I've tried to chain the
hoverintent command but it needs an on and off event, but I don't know
where to get that from idTabs.

Thanks

[jQuery] Re: Dialog box that auto expands depending on content

2008-10-29 Thread Ettiene

Well I see in Firefox (using Firebug) that if you set div
class=dialog_box ui-dialog-content ... to have height: auto  then
it'll expand as the content in the dialog expands.
You using a Jquery UI dialog plugin?

 I have a form that I pull into a dialog box. I've set the dialog to

 form is pulled in.

 However I'm also using the validate plugin which when displaying an
 error message adds additional height the the form. However the dialog
 doesn't expand with this additional content.

 Does anyone know how I can make it do this?

 You can see a test of the dialog on this link:

 http://common.leeds-art.ac.uk/validate/openday_bookings/test.php

 Leave all the fields blank and you click save changes and you notice
 that some of the form disappears off the bottom of the dialog.

  Hi All,

  Today we released our first jQuery plugin, which provides an easy way to

  announcement blog entry:

 http://blogs.ihwy.com/dev/post/jQuery-listnav-plugin-version-10-relea...

  And below is the info from the blog entry to save you the click. Thanks to
  Mike Alsup for his docs about creating jquery plugins, and a shout out to
  Liam Byrne, who helped me (via this list) a few months ago with some jQuery
  for isolating text inside of list items.

  - Jack

  
  blogged

  Today we're releasing a jQuery plugin that we created for the business
  directory section of a pet project site of ours,
 http://www.hwy9.com/Directory/boulder-creek.aspx. We'd always wanted to
  have a javascript-based control that we could easily apply to long lists of
  items to allow quickly navigating around the list. Since most lists are
  alphabetically sorted, we came up with a plugin that allowed us to have a
  long list and then, by binding the list to our jQuery listnav plugin, an
  alphabet-based navigation bar would magically appear above the list, 
  showing
  all of the letters from A to Z. Clicking on a letter dynamically filters 
  the
  list, so you can, for example, click on C and the list changes on-the-fly 
  to
  show you only items beginning with C.

  There are lots of neat little features to the control. We've posted full
  information and demos here:

 http://www.ihwy.com/labs/jquery-listnav-plugin.aspx.

  A couple of the interesting features worth calling out are 1) that when
  you hover over a letter in the list navigation bar, a count appears above
  the letter, telling you how many items will appear if you click that letter
  2) letters that don't have any items under them appear looking disabled,
  as a visual clue that there aren't any items starting with that letter (so
  that the user doesn't have to find out by clicking the letter).

  One of the demos (demo 4) also shows using the listnav plugin on a list
  that has floated items in it. In the demo, each list item looks like a box
  and they are arranged left-to-right, row by row. Clicking on a letter shows
  only the boxes that have wording that starts with that letter. This could 
  be
  handy for making an address-book like layout on a web site: click the 
  letter
  in the navigation to see the contacts that start with Y, for example. Each
  box can contain anything you want it to: the listnav control pays attention
  only to the first letter of the first text in the list item.

  The control has been optimized for speed. It's able to handle binding to
  lists with hundreds of items in them very quickly. Any jQuery selector can
  be used to bind to your lists, so you can bind it to multiple lists on a
  single page using just a CSS class name, if you want to. It works with UL
  and OL (numbered) lists. If you use an OL, the numbers restart themselves
  for each set of list items that appear (ie, if you click on 'C' and that 
  has
  5 items, they will appear numbered from 1-5).

  We hope you enjoy the jQuery listnav plugin. We enjoyed creating it.


[jQuery] superfish + bgiframe problem on IE6

2008-10-03 Thread Ettiene

Hi there,

Well sorry if I'm asking a question that's been answered a lot
already, but I just can't seem to get it working for me on IE6.

I was recently involved in building the UI for www dot geotrust dot
com ., but I can't get the bgiframe to work on IE6 on pages where the
menu drops down over (or under) a select element. Was wondering if
anyone could maybe have a look and give some insight into what I can
do to fix it.

the page in question is here: www dot geotrust dot com /about/contact/
support-form/index.html

2008-10-03 Thread Ettiene

hmm.. I thouhgt I was using the latest method :)

I've downloaded the latest version of bgiframe which is currently on

call to superfish in my head with the simple one like you listed, and
it should do the trick?

I'll try that in any case.

 There is now a much simpler and less buggy way of using bgIframe. It

 You will need to make sure you are using the most up-to-date version
 of bgIframe which you can get 
 here:http://brandonaaron.net/jquery/plugins/bgiframe/docs/#where_can_i_get_it

 The improved code for applying bgIframe to Superfish is this:

 $(document).ready(function(){

 });

 Much simpler than the older method that you are currently using.

[jQuery] Re: superfish + bgiframe problem on IE6

2008-10-03 Thread Ettiene

Ok, I'm struggling a bit here...

My call in the head looks like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
$(ul.nav).superfish()
.find(liulli:has(ul)).addClass(isparent)
.find('ul').bgIframe({opacity:false});
});

I've got that first find in there to add a class isparent to all
li's that have a ul in them, basically if they have dropdown
menus.
The second find is for the bgiframe code

But this doesn't do anything in IE6.

Unfortunately I can't update the code on the geotrust website before
I've fixed it.

Thanks

[jQuery] [tooltip] IE6 not using CSS classes depending on position.

2008-06-10 Thread Ettiene

Hi there,

This tooltip works great, but when I even view the demo page (
http://jquery.bassistance.de/tooltip/demo/ ) in IE6, and look at the
fancy / pretty tooltips, the one at the right hand side of the
screen doesn't display the correct image background. Also if I scroll
the page so that the tooltips are almost at the bottom of the page,
and the image backgrounds need to pop up above the cursor position,
the image background is also wrong. (This last one is a problem in all
browsers I think). And I'm referring to the image that looks like a
speech bubble.

Can anyone help me out please?
