Re: [jQuery] New Forums

[Jack Killpatrick]

A little quibble I'd like to add is that, as a plugin developer who has 
been relying on filtering incoming emails to support the plugins, now I 
have no way to easily do so, since the forums can't email me everything 
that's happening. I think a workaround is being instated, but I'm not 
sure. I've also tried to reset my pw at the forums two times and each 
time it emails me the password confirm link and takes me right back to 
the beginning, so I have no idea how to actually confirm my 
registration. Ug?

Re: [jQuery] Complicated Question

[Jack Killpatrick]

If you're rendering the button on-the-fly (as part of your form) be sure 
to either a) hook up that button click handler after the button is 
rendered or b) use the event delegation approach I showed in my example. 
It sounds like your click is not firing now, probably because the click 
isn't actually getting bound to the button.

I have completely removed the uRec function for now and changed to a regular

Re: [jQuery] Complicated Question

[Jack Killpatrick]

If uRec is still like it was before:

function uRec(selector){
   var $form = $(selector);

in the example below you're passing it an id, so try:

   var $form = $('#' + selector);

I was suggesting changing the button type from submit to button, yes. 
It's no big deal, but at least it will prevent inadvertent submits while 
you're working things out.

Re: [jQuery] Complicated Question

This may or may not help you, but often in situations like this what I 
do is use .closest() to get the id that I need for the edited record, 
like this:



   your form gets injected here
   your form gets injected here


assuming each form has it's own submit button, you could use event 
delegation to handle the click and get the record id:


$('#forms').click(function(){ // create click handler at UL level
   var $this = $(this);

   if( $this.is('submit') ){ // check to see if a submit button was clicked
  var recordId = $this.closest('.record')[0].id.split('_')[1],  // 
get the recordId

data = $this.closest('form').serialize();

  // do some stuff with your recordId and serialized data
  return false; // to prevent the submit from actually submitting, 
assuming you're handling the submit via ajax

   }
});

Maybe that'll give you some ideas. If you can, use a 'button' instead of 
a 'submit' button type and remove the return false; from the example.

that opens last. So if the user clickes edit, edit , edit for each of the
example records above its only submitting to the last record.

I know where the problem is, I just don't now how to fix it. When the user
clicks "edit" the js gets the variable from the newly loaded form_id and
that gets passed in the uRec(form_id);  saying to edit this "form" so as
soon as the user clicks edit again the first form_id is gone and replaced
with the newly opened form. Any ideas where I am going wrong here? I cant
change the idea to have only 1 form at a time open setup. If I could add a
bind sumbit to the script to grab the form_id of what was just submitted
then run the function i think that would do the trick. Pretty new at this
and not sure where I would go about adding the bind submit. Something like:

var form_id = '#';
$(form_id).bind("submit", uRec(form_id) { return false; }
 
My script onthe page with all the records is :


var form_id = '#';
uRec(form_id);

 
My external js:

function uRec(selector){
 
 var $form = $(selector);
 
 $form.submit( function() {

Re: [jQuery] Listmenu Question: Number of returned lines...

[Jack Killpatrick]

Each browser performs differently, because of how the plugin takes the 
original set of DOM nodes (list items, usually) and moves them around in 
the DOM. Basically, IE6 sux wind, but IE7+ is OK. Safari and Chrome 
seemed to be the fastest in my not-so-scientific tests. Firefox 3+ was OK.


I didn't try it with 1500 items. I think the most I tested was around 
400. If you have the 1500 items already getting rendered, it shouldn't 
be too hard to plug it in and see what happens. I suspect it might take 
a noticeable "while" to load. I've thought about some alternate 
approaches for loading large sets of items or making it easy to show a 
loading message (at worst), but haven't set down to code any of them yet.


You might want to experiment by capturing the HTML from the plugin demo 
page and adding your items to one of the demos.


If your items aren't changing often, there might be a way to dump out 
the generated HTML and reuse that as static HTML, but it'd take some 
chopping on the plugin to get rid of the stuff that creates the HTML.


If you don't need to use the includeOther:true option, you could prefix 
the items you want to exclude with some text other than A-Z and 0-9.

[jQuery] Re: keeping table header fix

[Jack Killpatrick]

Hmm, I gave this a try. Setting height stretches the table rows out 
vertically if there are less records than the height. I tried putting a 
fixed height div around the table and not setting a height on the tbody, 
but then the tbody overflow-y never kicks in. Hmm.


Also, if I set the height of the tbody and the overflow-y does kick in, 
then the scrollbar eats horizontal space in the rightmost col, which 
means that I need to style that col to allow for it. Either way: if the 
scrollbar were to show outside the table I'd need to allow room for it, 
but just bringing it up as a caveat.


I know this issue has been tackled various ways in table plugins, but I 
don't think I've seen a plugin made specifically just for show/hiding a 
scrollbar and working around some of these issues. Anyone?


Thanks,
Jack

You might be able to use the show, hide and destroy methods here to make 
sticky tooltips:

but I don't think there's support for dragging. I used this library 
recently and found it to be solid across browsers, FYI.

rvdb wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to find a tooltip solution that allows for the display of
HTML elements as tooltips, with following specific behaviours:
  -tooltips popup on mouseover; disappear on mouseout
  -tooltips can be made sticky + draggable on click, and can be closed
with a 'close' link

The first requirement is met in most tooltip libraries: only one
tooltip is shown at a time, content can be picked up from other HTML
elements on the page, and tooltips disappear on mouseout. The second
requirement is often found only partially: many tooltip libraries
offer sticky tooltip options, but don't allow multiple sticky tooltips
to appear simultaneously.

So far, I only found one tooltip library that did it all out of the
box: domTT. The demo at 
http://www.mojavelinux.com/cooker/demos/domTT/example4.html
shows what I am looking for.

I have successfully combined this library with JQuery in my webapps,
but unfortunately bounced into memory leaks on large pages (probably
due to the domTT library itself). Without any disrespect, that library
has its age and I guess modern-day JS frameworks like JQuery are
better geared to avoiding memory leaks by design.

Therefore, I'm looking into a pure JQuery solution to implement this
functionality, since it promises fast + robust js development for
common behaviours + an extensive plugin library. The biggest problem,
however, is that even elaborated JQuery plugins like clueTip are
limited to displaying only one sticky tooltip at a time.

Thanks in advance to any suggestions!

Hey folks,

I've been absent from the jquery lists for quite awhile, but just
recently had the opportunity to build a cool little plugin for a
project I'm working on so I decided to release it to the public.  This
plugin acts as an "eyedropper"-style color picker, allowing a user to
select a color by clicking a pixel in an image.

The plugin replaces selected img elements on the page with a canvas
element, and provides click, mousemove and mouseout event callbacks.
The callback is sent a color object (describing the color under the
mouse for the event). It also shows a little hovering preview of the
color near the cursor when over the image.

You can find it on github with a simple demo included:

http://github.com/sstrudeau/jquery-dropper

I'm hoping to receive some feedback on things like:

* callback function naming conventions
* which other arguments would be useful & appropriate to send via the
callback
* should I instead (or also) trigger events instead/as well as offer
callbacks?
* any best practice examples for making something like the color hover
chip style-able, optional?
* any other feedback

No live demo yet -- but if I hear a clamor, I might find a place to
tuck one.

Notable limitations: doesn't work on IE (the VML canvas hack doesn't
offer pixel-level access to images) and images must be hosted from the
same domain as the origin page (canvas security limitation).

Essentially, grabbing the first character, as a reference for

I have already accomplished this via ajax, but I believe using the

The upshot is, the button would have variable onclick functionality,
dependent upon the current caption of the button.  I suppose it would
merely result in a different value of the button's 'name=' attribute
when the container form is submitted.

My goal is to pair something like that with a textbox for searching
one of several different fields (the button caption would be 'name',
'phone', 'email' for example, and clicking the button would search for
the textbox string in whichever field the button says.

I'm pretty sure how I'd make one but if it's already been done, why
reinvent.  Elsewise, I'm diving in.

[jQuery] Re: Listmenu - tips for making it faster in IE

[Jack Killpatrick]

Hi Anoop.

I spent considerable time tuning the code for performance, but yes, IE 
does lag behind, especially when approaching 1000 items or more. I found 
Safari and Chrome to both be quite fast and Firefox nearly as fast as 
those. The IE issue stems from the code that moves the items from the 
original UL or LI into the separate lists used for each submenu.


I messed around a little with implementing a built-in Loading... 
message, but found IE's behavior so annoying (it likes to appear hung 
when it's not and workarounds only delayed the load time) that I decided 
not to include that in the plugin. I'm on vacation right now, but early 
next week could take a look at a workaround you might be able to use to 
show a message and then hide it after IE is done chugging way. Let me 
know and I'll put some thought into it.


Thanks,
Jack

On IE 7 it is quite slow, the lag is very noticeable - the menu

about 8-10 seconds. Since this is an intranet app, I need to ensure 
that IE 7 works very well. I have about 2000 elements and they are not 
at all balanced across the alphabets...


Are there any tips that I could follow such that the menu displays 
quicker in IE? Or at the very least is there a way I can show a 
"Loading... " text or an animated gif while the menu loads..


But thank you for this wonderful plugin it is really well made, I only

[jQuery] ANNOUNCE: new revs of listnav and listmenu plugins

[Jack Killpatrick]

Hi All,

New versions of the jquery listnav and listmenu plugins are now available:

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

What's new:

-- ListNav plugin -

1. added an includeOther option to provide a top level '...' nav link to 
access items that start with chars other than A-Z and 0-9. For example, 
chars like Ä and Ü.


2. added a prefixes option to provide a way to show "The New York Times" 
under T and N. Pass in your own prefix array.


See the new demo 6 here for examples of both:

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

-- ListMenu plugin ---

1. added an includeOther option, just like the one for the ListNav plugin.

2. added an onClick option that simplifies handling clicks in the 
dropdown menu (for things like pulling an href out of the clicked link 
to use it for an ajax call). The onClick uses event delegation, so is 
low overhead and the clicked object is available as a jquery object in 
your onClick function.


See demo 3 here for includeOther example and demo 6 for onClick example:

   http://www.ihwy.com/labs/demos/current/jquery-listmenu-plugin.aspx


Some of these features were based on user requests. Thanks to everyone 
for the feedback.


- Jack

[jQuery] Re: listmenu

[Jack Killpatrick]

Paul,

I found and fixed that issue, thanks for bringing it to my attention. It 
also inspired me to add another option that's been on my backburner for 
a while ;-)


I've added an includeOther: true/false option that, if true, will cause 
a [...] menu item to appear at the end of the nav bar, where things like 
", something" (items starting with punctuation) and Äpfel (chars other 
than A-Z and 0-9) will appear.


I'm shooting for putting the new rev out tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks,
Jack

If the values are truly the words Yes and No in the db, then it's

[jQuery] Re: Listnav initial display of no items?

[Jack Killpatrick]

Ah, I see. Since you have includeAll: false, it required a different 
workaround, since that forces the first available letter's contents to 
show. I grabbed a copy of your test and verified that this works:


$(function(){
   var clicks = 0;

$('#alphalist').listnav({
   includeAll: false,
//  cookieName: 'xalpha_list',
 onClick: function(){
clicks++;
if(clicks == 1){$('#alphalist').show();} // this has clicks 
== 1 instead of == 2 now

 }
}).hide();  // I added this
});

Hope that works for you.

[jQuery] Re: Listnav Umlauts and special chars

[Jack Killpatrick]

Good idea making "All" a variable. You're the 2nd person in the last few 
days who had a need for that.


And thanks for your thoughts on the special chars. As I mentioned in my 
other email a few minutes ago, I'll be adding support for that, I just 
need to think it through a bit more. It seems like it would be nice to 
have them automatically appear in the navigation, but that means losing 
control over how many things are in the nav, and therefore how wide it 
will be on the page (which could result in wrapping). One idea is to 
lump them into an "other" listnav item, but that doesn't seem very good, 
either. Another is to add a new row to the nav for dynamically adding 
nav links for special chars. Or the "other" could be a dropdown (but 
then it's items are out of view, which reduces the ability to quickly 
visually scan the list).


Offhand, I don't know if there's an easy way (or whether it really makes 
sense logically to a user) to "degrade" chars to their nearest neighbor. 
I don't know enough about other languages to know.


Thanks,
Jack

sixtyseven wrote:

I ran into a problem when having umlauts as first letter in the

IMHO the better way would be to have a function, that "degrades" the
letter to the next near neighbor, i.e. if it is ü, make it to u, if
it's é make it to e, etc. Do you have any Idea how to achieve this?
Such a function would make the listnav more multilingual. While
speaking of this, perhaps you could make the word "All" a variable,
too.

Same thing with special chars like *,# etc. How about adding them into
a group of its own? Probably one could handle it like this: If the
first letter is neither a number nor a letter, it must be a special
char.

Hope I could explain the problem, my english is not that good.

[jQuery] Re: Listnav initial display of no items?

[Jack Killpatrick]

Hmm, it just dawned on me that listnav fires a click internally when it 
initiates, so this won't work quite like I wrote it out below. Instead 
of using:


   var isShowing = false;

use:

   var clicks = 0;

and:

  onClick: function(){
 clicks++;
 if(clicks == 2){
$('#yourUL').show();
 }
  }

(not tested .. let me know if you hit a deadend)

Jack Killpatrick wrote:

There's nothing built into the plugin that will hide the full list 
(it's wired to show the first available letter unless you specify a 
letter to show), but here's a workaround that might do the trick for you:


1. set the css for your UL to:

   display:none;

2. add a function to the listnav onClick option that will show the UL 
if it's not showing already, something like:


var isShowing = false;

$('#yourUL').listnav({
   onClick: function(){
  if(!isShowing){
 $('#yourUL').show();
 isShowing = true;
  }
   }
});

That onClick will fire on every letter click, but that's minimal 
overhead since you'd be just checking the value of isShowing after the 
first click is handled (which makes your UL show up).

[jQuery] Re: listmenu plugin: non-ascii characters

Hi Dave,

I have a few things penciled out to add to the plugin, but haven't had a 
chance to get to them yet. I have your email from a while ago with the 
mockup of your idea ( 
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/618/listmenuz.png ), thanks very much 
for that, it seems like a good approach.


Thanks,

Also, I think that # would mean "starts with a number" to most people,

[jQuery] tables and chairs app

[Jack Killpatrick]

Hi All,

I'm thinking out how to put together a web app that allows a user to 
have a "room" and in that room, place tables and chairs, which will then 
be used for a scheduling app. The scheduling part I'm on top of. The 
graphical part for positioning tables and chairs is what I'm looking for 
a good solution to.


At minimum the user has to be able to drag/drop and rotate the tables 
and chairs, to position them in a way that resembles the "real" room. 
Ideally, they should be able to either resize the table (drag sides of a 
rectangle or enlarge a circle) or, less desirably, I could give them a 
set of different tables to choose from (or both).


Right now I'm thinking of using canvas and looking into jQuery plugins. 
Any pointers?


Thanks,
Jack

[jQuery] Re: AIR plugin for jQuery?

[Jack Killpatrick]

From your examples, it looks like you're thinking more about helper 
methods than just exposing the API, which makes sense, but then the 
question is "what helper methods should we create to make this a good 
framework?" (I think). If that's the case, have you thought about it 
much? Helper method meaning something that wraps a chunk of air native 
code up to support some reusable functionality beyond the lower level 
air stuff.

strong, but I've never written a plugin, and would really want someone 
to provide a good code review for best practices. The cool thing is 
that there wouldn't be much "jQuery" in the plugin. It's mostly an 
abstraction of the AIR APIs into a tighter, simpler package.
 
I think the best place to start would be some of the lower hanging 
fruit. Some of the API methods that are straightforward and don't 
require a lot of options. Then we could move into SQLite, File System 
access, etc.

The first thing that the listmenu plugin does is this:

which I *think* should have prevented what you're describing. If not, is

It works ok, but maybe you could consider adding this so it would be

It's an alphabetical list of letters down the left column. When you hover
over those letters, a list in a block on the right side (with overflow
hidden) moves up or down to the letter that's being hovered over. It's sort
of reminiscent of the iPhone alphabetical list on the right side of the

I was thinking of creating the letters with anchors to the list as you would

[jQuery] Re: scrollTo plugin: prevent tabbing between slides?

[Jack Killpatrick]

Thanks for the ideas. Interesting idea, disabling the fields out of 
view, but my scenario actually has a series of forms (like 6 of them), 
so that'd seem like a bit much for my case.


Here's what I ended up doing (which amounted to disabling the tab for 
the relevant fields):


1. created this plugin:

(function($) {
   $.fn.preventTab = function(options) {

   return this.each(function(){
   $(this).bind('keydown', function(e){
   if(e.which == 9){
   return false;
   }
   });
   });
   };
})(jQuery);

2. added this to form fields that the tabbing went to before going to 
the next slide:


   class="preventTab"

3. wired up the plugin by doing this:

   $('.preventTab', $myContext).preventTab();

The rub is that it disables shift-tab as a result, so once the user goes 
into that field, they can't shift-tab back out. It also doesn't take 
care of shift-tabbing from the first form field to one in a previous 
slide (unless I apply it to that field, too, in which case tabbing 
forward from it won't work). I did a little googling to see how best to 
handle/detect shift-tab, but so far am not sure (other than maybe to use 
the jquery hotkeys plugin, which I've already got in the project anyway.


Thanks,
Jack

Thanks guys, I understand now.

Related question (but maybe for the UI guys)... does anyone know if any 
jquery UI components (sortables and dialog in particular) bind events to 
something outside their own scope (like by using .live())? I'm guessing 
not and that I'm safe instantiating one of those components on a 
dynamically created DOM node that I can then get rid of using .empty() 
on it's parent and no event handlers will be left behind, but am not sure.

Yes and no. empty() will unbind events that were bound to the elements 
that are being removed. But since live() is actually binding the 
events to document, they won't be unbound unless you you use die()  -- 
or maybe $(document).unbind()


Hope I didn't just muddy the waters.

The .live() method binds event handlers at a higher level than the

If you need to remove a live event, just call .die(). It is like
.unbind() but for .live() events.

Hi All,

Wondering if someone knows the answer to this:

Using jQuery 1.3.2, if some items inside a div have events bound to them
via .live() and then .empty() is called on the div will the events that were
bound via .live() get removed? The .empty() doc says:

http://docs.jquery.com/Manipulation/empty

Note that this function starting with 1.2.2 will also remove all event
handlers and internally cached data.

But something I'm working on makes me think that the .live() events are
not removed. I haven't nailed it down yet.

[jQuery] Re: question re: .live() and .empty()

[Jack Killpatrick]

Thanks, Brandon. So .empty() won't touch events that were bound using a 
selector on objects inside what is being emptied, right? Gotta use 
.die() to get rid of them?

Brandon Aaron wrote:

The .live() method binds event handlers at a higher level than the
node(s) selected. So, in other words the events aren't actually bound
to specific nodes so they won't be removed when you call empty.

If you need to remove a live event, just call .die(). It is like
.unbind() but for .live() events.

[jQuery] just a shout out

[Jack Killpatrick]

I've been majorly head's-down in a jQuery-driven AIR app for the last 
few weeks. I've been using jQuery almost daily since very early on (2+ 
yrs?). It works great for my web apps and great for this AIR app, which 
is _very_ heavy js/jQuery.


Great work! Thanks, kudos, etc to the jQuery and jQuery UI teams!!

Now, back to my custom plugins and chaining events  ;-)

[jQuery] Re: EasySlider 1.5: Tabbing through forms

[Jack Killpatrick]

I suspect you might have to have the focus() event on each field (or a 
delegate for it) do something to figure out what slide the focused field 
is in and have a function to move to that slide (or fire the click 
handler for "Next"). I don't remember seeing any slider plugins that 
will do that natively. I've got probably 20 bookmarked, but if you find 
one that does, I'd be interested in knowing about it.

[jQuery] Re: JQuery Slide Panel

I had a problem (not sliding panel specific) once where a google map

visibility:hidden. I think in my case I had to load the map offscreen 
(using absolute a div with negative positioning) and then using .append 
to move it's contents into the place where I wanted it to actually 
appear (definitely a kludge, but worked).

[jQuery] Re: Why JQuery Autocomplete displays only one item?

[Jack Killpatrick]

I think you need to return data with line breaks after it:

one
two
three

internally the autocomplete plugin splits on the pipe. See this:

http://grover.open2space.com/node/190

and this:

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete/autocomplete#url_or_dataoptions

"The result must return with one value on each line. The result is 
presented in the order the backend sends it. "

Am using JQuery Autocomplete on my templete, but as i get the results

[jQuery] flexbox question

[Jack Killpatrick]

I'm evaluating Flexbox for a project:

http://www.fairwaytech.com/Technology/FlexBoxDemo.aspx

In example #1 there I can type in some chars and items with those chars 
*inside* a result get highlighted (though only the first instance of the 
found chars in any given item gets highlighted).


In all of the other demos the matching only occurs at the beginning of 
the items.


Is it possible to have the *in the words* matching behavior happen (like 
in example #1), but also have the list filtering behavior that the other 
demos show? IE, if I have:


Guinea Pig
Pig
Iguana
Fox

and type in "i", I would like to have the dropdown display all matches 
with "i" anywhere in them:


Guinea Pig
Pig
Iguana

The jquery autcomplete plugin will do it (type "i" in the E-Mail example):

http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/

but there are some other features that Flexbox has that I'd like.

Thanks,
Jack

[jQuery] Re: Tablesorter with pager extension check boxes not present on form submit

[Jack Killpatrick]

Checkbox names are only posted if they're checked. You'll need to check 
for the presence of the name on the server side and if it's not there, 
then none were checked. That's not a tablesorter issue (doesn't sound 
like it).


- Jack

Justin wrote:

Hello everyone,

This is my first post to the jQuery group.  I am using the tablesorter
and tablesorter.pager jQuery plugin in an ASP.NET web page.

Each row in the table has a checkbox and is intended to be used by the
user to add or remove an item from the final selection.  The problem
is that when the form is submitted and you are on a page with no
checkboxes checked, on the server side, the Request.Form.AllKeys does
not show the checkbox's named as a member of the request.

I think this has something to do with the caching mechanism and the
fact the checkboxes are physically taken out of the table.

What methods are there to make sure all the "hidden" rows form
elements are submitted back to the server?
