[jQuery] Safari 4 with jQuery/Json - anyone experience problems?
Hi everyone
I've been working on an ajax call which activates a spellchecker when
someone inputs a word (if it's incorrect) and returns a Json string of
suggestions for the user to choose from, and then be able to replace
the incorrect word.
It seems to work the first couple of times but then Safari will hang
and finally quit. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but for some
reason the console on FF doesn't register the call so I'm assuming
something else is causing a problem - unless there's a compatibility
issue with jQuery on Safari 4.
Here's my function that calls the spellchecker (Sorry it's a bit
long!)
/**/
var SpellCheckOptions = { learn : false, serverScriptURL :
'spellchecker.php' };
function checkSpelling(type,targetId,exists,len,ulen) {
var theid = "#"+targetId;
var $spellcheckthis = $(theid);
var thetext = $spellcheckthis.text();
var callback = function(textInfos) {
if(type=="textarea"){
$("form")[0].reset(); // reset textarea content before
populating it
with the edited text
}
$spellcheckthis.text(textInfos[0].text);
if(type=="word"){ // if we're spell checking a word/phrase
if(exists == false){ // if that word doesn't exist in the
userwords array
if(len<6){
words[targetId][1].push(textInfos[0].text);
var userwordexists = false;
for(var u=0;u
[jQuery] Re: Get the onclick method of an element
Ok, I've done some tests and here is my suggestion.
First of all, should just ask - I assume you are calling it after the
element? Probably is obvious, but thought I'd check.
Ok, here's the deal: "onclick" is not really an attribute but a mouse
event. Therefore jQuery will take the contents as a function and write
it out as an event. The only alternative is to insert your "DoSomething
(this);" into a standard attribute like "title" or "alt" and then take
it from there. This way you should be able to insert it exactly as its
written and not have it converted into an event.
Hope this will help?

Perhaps then you can extract it as text like I mentioned in my first
post, then store it in a variable?
As I am not sure what your function does or why it needs to be applied
this way, I can't solve the problem exactly - but why not just use an
event instead of an onclick in the element? That is what jQuery is
there for :-)

[jQuery] Re: Jquery gradient and tabs
Having checked the source code, it looks like you're not even including the core and tabs ui. For example: http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/</a> ui.core.js"> http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/</a> ui.tabs.js"> If you were to link direct to jquery. That may be why your tabs are not working properly.

Sorry I should have written

[jQuery] Re: Get the onclick method of an element
You will need to use the text() attribute to do this.
so, once you do:
var onclick = $('a').attr('onclick');
You then place it where you want this way:
$("a").text(onclick);
However, if you have several links on a page it will be better to
assign it to an id. Plus, since "onclick" is a javascript handler I'm
thinking it may be better to use a different phrase as your variable
to avoid confliction.

Oh, and also - there's a little drop down box in the top right corner which will allow you to change the language to English :-) On Sep 14, 11:24 am, Paul Collins wrote: > Hi all > > I'm currently using the Jquery Flipv plugin, which works well.

[jQuery] 'key' related events throw up warnings in FF
Hi everyone
Everytime I try to use a keyup/keypress/keydown event in my code, I
get a warning in my Firebug whenever it is fired:
>> The 'charCode' property of a keydown event should not be used. The value is
>> meaningless.
I'm not quite sure what this means, but I'm guessing it's because I
have not set the value of a particular key - however, this is not
required for my function which basically just makes a button appear
when the user puts text in an input field.
My function:
$(function() {
$("#myinput").keyup(function() {
var theval = $("#myinput").val();
var mybutton = $("#thebutton");
if(theval!=""){
mybutton.fadeIn(200);
}else{
mybutton.fadeOut(200);
}
});
});
Which seems to actually word - except I get the warning above. Does
anyone know how to avoid this happening?
Thanks,
Mike

Probably because you're sending the data to the url, but stopping the

[jQuery] Re: Removal of element before body
To remove them you could use
$(function() {
$("br").remove();
});
but to find where they are is more difficult, as you could end up
removing key elements like the tag itself. If it's placing it
where you don't want it to, maybe the script needs tweaking? Could you
possibly post it here, or even a link would be better? That would
enable me to help you a bit easier.
Mike
However in order to detect where they are in the document is more
difficult.

[jQuery] How to unbind data?
Hi everyone
I'm trying to write a function that will pass through the id of a
clicked element, and then use that id for spellchecking the word
that's been clicked on. However, although this seems to work, when i
click on another word, it returns the previous corrected word rather
than the new one - as if it's storing the same data all the time. I
was advised to unbind the event but that doesn't seem to work...
Here is my code - but let me quickly explain. First off, there is a
div with text in which has several "clickable" words which can be
altered by the user by means of a pop up tooltip with input box. If
the user types a word in and hits "save", the spell check will
activate (i.e. checkWordSpelling). I'm firstly unbinding the click
event, and then rebinding it for the next word - and although the
correct id is detected, the word that it's supposed to place there
after correcting is always the same one (i.e. the first one that was
corrected):
$('#'+tooltipsavebtn).unbind('click');
$('#'+tooltipsavebtn).bind("click",{theid: id },function(e) {
var newval = $('#'+tooltipinput).val();
setProfileText(id,newval,tooltipid,targetid);
spellchecked = false;
pickedfromlist = false;
checkWordSpelling(e.data.theid);
var exists = false;
for(i=0;i
[jQuery] Re: Help with using the 'not' selector
Thanks for your help but this is still not working. All that happens
is as soon as I click the word to make the div appear, it fades out
again.
I'm probably being totally thick here and missing something really
simple but I just cannot figure it out. All I need is for the div to
appear when clicking the link and to disappear when clicking out of
it.
This is how I make it appear:
$('a').click(function(e){
var x = $('#FM_OPTIONS').css( {
'left' : e.pageX - 100,
'top' : e.pageY + 35
} );
x.show();
});
which works.
I tried just a simple test:
$('body').click(function(){
$("#FM_OPTIONS").fadeOut('fast');
});
and even that doesn't do anything. I tried implementing the :not()
selector by saying "if it's not an tag" but I don't think that's
what it's actually for. I hope someone can come up with a working
solution - I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

[jQuery] Re: Help with using the 'not' selector
Thanks for your reply.
This is pretty much what I want - except I need my div to appear when
a particular link is clicked, but since I've put the fire in the body,
it's basically doing the fadeOut on every click (which stands to
reason since everything is the body!) So really what I need is
something else in there that says if it's also NOT an tag...but
I'm pretty sure that if the tag is clicked it will recognise it as
the body still? Is there some kind of work around for this?
Thanks

[jQuery] Help with using the 'not' selector
Hi group,
I would appreciate a point in the right direction here, as I seem to
be getting lost. I would like to be able to write a function which
will trigger when the mouse is clicked, but only do a certain thing
based on WHAT is clicked. Which is why I figured the "not" selector
would be useful.
Here is my function:
function closeIt(){
$().not("#FM_OPTIONS").click( function() {
$("#FM_OPTIONS").toggle();
});
}
Basically what I want to say is, if what I click does NOT have the id
'#FM_OPTIONS' (it's a floating div), make that div disappear. In other
words, if someone clicks away from it, it should close. However it
seems that even if I click the div itself, it makes it disappear as
well - surely the 'not' selector is supposed to prevent this? Am I
structuring the function incorrectly? Any help would be much
appreciated.
Thank you.
Mike
[jQuery] Re: Live function being weird
If I remember correctly the live event can only handle tag elements
not specific names. So for example, $("form").live('click', function
() { }); would work. Perhaps you can use an id on your form, maybe
that would work? Do you have to use the live event specifically or
were you just curious as to why it won't work the same way?

[jQuery] Replace string characters using jQuery
Hi Everyone
First post - please be gentle.
I am running a search on my web site which uses jQuery to take the
search terms and build up a URL based on them.
For example, if someone searches for "chair" my URL will be appended
with /chair/.
However, if someone searches for something which is two words, for
example "chair covers" I need the space inbetween to be replaced by a
"+" sign so the URL will now be appended with /chair+covers/
I'm not sure if it is possible to string replace in jQuery? Here is my
current code:
function sendSearchInput(whichelement,hiddeninput,formid) {
hval = $("#"+hiddeninput).val();
$("#"+formid).submit(function() {
if ($("input:#"+whichelement).val() != hval) {
var searchval = $("#"+whichelement).val().toLowerCase();
$("#"+formid).attr("action","retail/search/"+searchval+"/");
return true;
}
$("input:#"+whichelement).focus();
return false;
});
}
This will basically check that the form is not the default value
(specified in the hidden field "hval") and then change the search term
to lowercase and append the URK using "attr". I have tried a couple of
methods including
var test = searchval.text().replace(' ','+');
And then trying to alert "test" to check it but the function just
simply doesn't work.
Any help here would be much appreciated, thank you.
