[jQuery] jQuery Flash Stacking Order

2009-10-15 Thread MauiMan2

I am working on a project now where I am cleaning up the code on a
certain page. I am upgrading to using the jQuery Flash plugin as part
of it. The only problem is that, once I made that upgrade, a small PNG
image that needs to be placed over the Flash now goes behind the SWF
object in the stacking order, whereas before it appropriately sat on
top of the Flash. I can give the URL if somebody asks for it but the
project is mildly proprietary at the moment and I think I have
probably described the problem well enough for an answer. As usual,
thanks in advance for any help.

 One thing that often helps in these cases is to set wmode=transparent
 in the object's params

Thanks. I think I have done that. You can see the page I am working on
here:

embedding code) here:

[jQuery] Smart Banner Modification Needed

2009-09-22 Thread MauiMan2

On the site I am almost finished developing at
http://www.murphytx-online.com/murphy/eating-out-american.php I am
using the Smart Banner jQuery script from
http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/smart-floating-banners/

This script keeps the content of the two sidebars always visible as
the visitor scrolls down through the main content. However at any time
other than when it's at its beginning position it is too low. I
realize it is being kept at its starting position but when it doesn't
need to be there I am trying to get it to stay at the top of the
viewable area (with a little padding, of course).

This is especially important to get worked out for monitors with a
lower resolution because on those monitors some of the sidebar content
is *never* seen but is always below the viewable area.

I have made several attempts to fix this and I figured each attempt
would either: a) fix it, or, b) throw everything completely out of
whack. But oddly enough each of my attempts had no affect whatsoever.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can use ending tags in HTML 4.01. It helps for DOM reasons to know
where an element begins and ends.

 I have a question for everyone. Supposedly for HTML 4.01, the ending
 of an input tag is simply  but in w3school it show /.
 It does work either way, but which one is corrrect by syntax?

 Should ending tags matter in terms of it may or may not be rendered by
 the browser correctly?

[jQuery] Append before closing tag

2009-04-19 Thread MauiMan2

Does jQuery provide a way to append an element immediately before the
closing tag of another element? For instance, say I have the following
paragraph element:

pLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean
adipiscing gravida leo. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Phasellus
auctor odio id ligula. Morbi in risus et nulla vehicula blandit.
Quisque varius, enim eget interdum cursus, risus est auctor nisi, vel
laoreet magna orci ac neque./p

But that I would like to add a link in right before the end to obtain
this:

pLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean
adipiscing gravida leo. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Phasellus
auctor odio id ligula. Morbi in risus et nulla vehicula blandit.
Quisque varius, enim eget interdum cursus, risus est auctor nisi, vel
laoreet magna orci ac neque.a href=http://www.hotbot.com;Remember
Me?/a/p

Is there a way to do that? If not, is it possible to make a plugin for
that?

Have you verified if jQuery is running at all in IE6? For example,
create a new page and insert a simple jQuery action that would let you
know if it's running  (such as an alert message).


That's what I have now: a simple jQuery action and as far as IE6 is
concerned it is not there at all.

Can I save each script file using UTF-8 encoding in Notepad? If not,
how do I do it?

[jQuery] listnav related - DL

2009-02-16 Thread MauiMan2

I have a need for the listnav plugin to work for definition lists.

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

Since the plugin breaks the lists up alphabetically it seems like it
would make the most sense for definition lists but the Features
section only mentions it working for ordered and unordered lists.


[jQuery] Re: listnav related - DL

2009-02-16 Thread MauiMan2

Basically it's going to be for a glossary. It'll be a food-related one
with a lot of terms related to a particular kind of ethnic food and
there'll be enough terms (and therefore numerous DT/DD pairs) that
breaking it down would be very helpful but at the same time it only
needs to be contained within one DL element and it'd be great to be
able to use the listnav plugin for this job.

I guess I want it to look most like your demo #1 but instead of the
list items actually linking to something they would just have their
definition definition below them and then the next definition term
is after that. I can take care of the styling.

Let me know if you need more info. And thanks in advance for any help.

BTW, I like that you know that it's okay to capitalize mention of X/
HTML elements when they are not within an XHTML document.

 The correct place for the jQuery.noConflict() call would be after mootools,
 after jQuery (which you've got in the right order - mootools first, then

 But you also need to fix lines 536 to 540 by either substituting jQuery for
 the $, or wrapping them in this pattern:

[jQuery] Turn off elements depending on current URL

2008-08-26 Thread MauiMan2

I am starting to learn jQuery now and have added a couple effects
(table sorter and whatnot) so far to my blog at: http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/.
One thing I want to do with it is to turn off certain page elements if
the current URL equals a certain string. For example: I have a number
of different entries on Mexican food at Disneyland but sometimes
visitors will look at one entry and then leave the blog without
finding the information they were looking for and usually it's because
they don't click (or know about) the disneyland tag at the bottom of
each entry. So yesterday I created the following image:

http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/panchitoMessage.gif

I put the image in each separate Disneyland entry and linked it to the
tag, which all works good, except that once people are in the
disneyland tag (http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/
disneyland) I don't want them to have to see the image anymore. Not
only will it show up about 13 times but it may confuse some visitors,
making them think that they are still not on the correct page. So my
first attempt at creating a jQuery statement (once I added the jqURL
plugin in) was:

$.jqURL.url(http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/disneyland) {

$('IMG[src=http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/
panchitoMessage.gif]').addClass('noDisplay');

}

Now that may be laughable or it may be close. I don't really
know . . . but it didn't work. What I'm basically trying to get the
statement to say is, If the current URL equals 'http://
ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/disneyland' then add the class
'noDisplay' to any instance of the panchitoMessage.gif image occurring
on the page. Of course, the class 'noDisplay' in the style sheet is
set to display: none.


UPDATE: The person I had e-mailed this problem to responded with this
script:

if ( $.jqURL.url() == http://ocmexfood.blogspot.com/search/label/
disneyland ) {
  $('IMG[src=http://www.ocmexfood.com/images/
panchitoMessage.gif]').addClass('noDisplay');
}

Which *does* seem like it should work . . . but it doesn't. After
writing back to tell him it didn't work I never heard from him again.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
