[jQuery] Re: slideDown trouble in Safari/Chrome
> Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.
Without looking into it too much I can't see the cause of the
problem...
... however, site design wise, would it not be better to have the
buttons expand an area on the page to show the information? You could
have the divs all created prior to the page loading (much like you do
now [as a side note here, hiding the divs in the definition would be a
good idea as when it loads up slowly it shows them before hiding
them]) then just using the $("#divid").show("slow"); when clicking on
them (and hiding the currently open one).
I know that isn't exactly the answer you were looking for - but it
should help out. For reference, you can change CSS type properties
directly with a call like this :
document.getElementById("NAMEOFDIV").style.width = 10;
I can't remember how to do it in a more jquery like way at the moment.

Use a div to hold the image - set it at a higher Z index than
everything else. When the document has finished loading (or whenever
you deem it should) use $("#DIVNAME").fadeOut("slow").remove();
And you should be good to go.

[jQuery] Re: simple jquery question
This will do what you want, first I assigned the elements via a

elements = $('h3').filter('.example');
Then I scrolled around the items found and output them to a span for
debugging.
elements.each(function() {
$('#Output').html($('#Output').html() + "" + $(this).html());
});
Here's the entire test code :
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/

$(document).ready(function(){
elements = $('h3').filter('.example');
elements.each(function() {

[jQuery] Jquery Game : Outer Empires : Open Beta
Well, we've finally entered the open beta phase of Outer Empires (http://www.outer-empires.com) which is a game that is built using a lot of Jquery... :) If you fancy having a go, head on over to the site to get started (the main news item will give you all the information you need) - it'll show you a bit about what Jquery can do when coerced into playing ball. (And a bit more information : ) Outer Empires (http://www.outer-empires.com ) is a space based game combining the game play of Elite (market trading, modding of your ships in a seemingly endless galaxy), Sins of a solar empire (colonisation of planets/moons and production of items to aid you or your faction) and EvE (what space mmo couldn't be compared to EvE?). It's a full MMO - with a sandpit type gameplay, we don't force people to do any particular job or role in game it's up to them to find their own way (although there are some pointers for people at the beginning). One of the differences between this MMO and others is that it's cross platform, those on the browser can interact with those in the iPhone and vice versa. That and it's a real MMO for the iphone instead of an imobster clone. For reference, however, the iPhone version is a proper native app, NOT using Jquery in any way, except for the in game galaxy viewer. If you have any questions or comments, either leave them here, or post them up in the "newbie" channel in game and I'll reply in there. See you soon, Paul Hutson (ala, Thoras Agea, in game) Lead Developer Outer Empires.

Excellent find, thank you.
As a bit of repayment, do the following to loop the sound :
Change the play: function to : play: function(url, loopNumber,
options)
then change this bit of code :
var element = $.browser.msie
? $('').attr({
src: options.url,
loop: 1,
autostart: true
})
: $(this.template(options.url));
to be :
var element = $.browser.msie
? $('').attr({
src: options.url,
loop: loopNumber,
autostart: true
})
: $(this.template(options.url));
I think that should work, although I've not tested it (I'm playing
with adding in a length of track option that works).

[jQuery] Finding items in an UL by their LI's Attributes
Hello, I've been trying to work this out for a bit now but seem to have come a bit unstuck. I'd like to be able to use .find to search an element and find out if there are any items with two attributes the same as a search choice. i.e. : My UL looks like this : Element 1 Element 2 I would like to do a search of the above UL and get back the id of the first LI element you can see in the list there by doing a search for typeref="E" && typeid="1". Is that possible using Jquery? Any help would be very very gratefully recieved! Regards, Paul Hutson
[jQuery] Re: Outer Empires - based around Jquery
The handsets use their own client versions which connect to the servers at the backend - however, cheating was a concern at first but we've implemented a system that passes access keys to the client when they first log in and use it for future access calls. The key is associated with the device, so if they use it on another device it won't work. We've used a similar system with KingdomGame (KingdomGame.net, which (for reference) only uses a very small amount of Jquery for implementation of some AJAX and styles) and have found it to be secure for the last.. ooh.. eight months or so :) Regards, Paul On May 28, 11:45 am, "ryan.j" wrote: > i am curious though - assuming you've got the CPU utilization down to > something the handsets can cope with, is cheating not a concern > because of the open nature of client-side script?

[jQuery] Outer Empires - based around Jquery
Hello all, I've mentioned this from time to time in these discussion threads - but I'm back to talk a little more about it. My team and I have been building a browser (and iphone/ipod touch) based MMO over the past few months - the browser side of the game is almost entirely based on Jquery using Jquery's ajax methods and a number of the awesome plugins). Today we've posted a short video on youtube with a few in game bits and pieces for everyone to have a look at... the game is still a little rough around the edges, but it's a good demonstration of what we're doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAj2KYuFV2g We are, as always, looking for more testers and - from my POV - it'd be excellent to get some more technically minded testers from the Jquery community.. Looking forward to your comments and questions. Regards, Paul Hutson

[jQuery] Jquery Sound
Hello,
I've been trying to get the following working :
http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/sound/
However, it only plays about a second to three seconds of the
designated sound before shutting off (in FF and Safari) but loads

$.sound.play('Sounds/Music/OE1.mp3');

[jQuery] Re: xml parsing
Ah ha - the IE nasty problem, I solved it like this :
On Ajax Success :
var xml;
if($.browser.msie){
xml = new ActiveXObject( 'Microsoft.XMLDOM');
xml.async = false;
xml.loadXML( xmlData);
}else{
xml = xmlData;
};
So, essentially, I'm allowing IE to process the XML like it wants to
and *every other browser in the entire world* to process it in a
normal way.
Putting it in to your code :
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get("films.xml", { name: "yyy" }, function(xml) {
var theXML;
if($.browser.msie){
theXML = new ActiveXObject( 'Microsoft.XMLDOM');
theXML.async = false;
theXML.loadXML( xmlData);
}else{
theXML = xmlData;
};
var theName=$(theXML).find("name:contains('x')");
alert(theName.text());
});
});

[jQuery] Re: Ajax Search - Plugin Needed
> Is there a good jquery plugin for this sort of thing? Do you need a jquery pluggin for that? Sounds like what you need to do is use an AJAX call to call the search page you're using (upon the enter button being pushed in the search area) then process the XML that comes back (with the search items..) then put them in the right boxes. Here's the AJAX documentation link : http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax HTHs, Paul

Then just move them from one place to the other. If you want to make them save every move, use an AJAX call once the drop has occured - if not add a save button to save the changes once a drop action has occured (as in show it, or enable it).

[jQuery] Re: Superfish - Horizontal Internet Explorer Width Problem
I think it may be the table width your using for the section - you're saying that you'll allow a 516 pixel width for the table - so it keeps filling up the space. If you want it to act like it does in firefox you could fake it by putting a div on the right hand side of the page in a high up layer and making sure it's always in the same position as you close the page up.
[jQuery] Re: Update DIV
> > Ajax.Updater allows you to simply update the content of a DIV.
If you want to go back to the super simple, you can update the inner
content of a div with:
$("#DIVID").html("CONTENT");
i.e. :
$("#blah").html("I've just been added to the div blah...");
Therefore, on your callback from the AJAX - as mkmanning has posted -
you could do the update using the items that come back from the ajax.

[jQuery] Drag - Drop - with Layers
Hello, I've been having a problem with the UI.draggable and UI.droppable functionality. I've set up my screen like the following : http://outer-empires.com/images/Screenshots/inGame-SpaceStationHome.jpg At the bottom of the screen you can see the "cargo" and "hanger" area, people can pick up their "resource" and move it from one area to the other. Now, all of the above works - however, when dragging from the left to the right, the cloned item slides underneath the background for the hanger. Both of the "drop" zones are the on the same layer (div wise), moving right to left works fine... Any ideas at all as to what the problem could be would be much appreciated - is there a bug with layers in the draggable interface? Thanks in advance, Paul Hutson p.s. As you can see, I'm building a game using an awful lot of Jquery :)

Hello,
I'm a(nother?) new person to Jquery and have found it to be
*excellent* so far (when I say that I may be understating how damned
awesome it is!!)
There is only one thing that has been bothering me - I can't seem to
find a way of finding a position of an item with an easy Jquery
shortcut.
i.e. to find out the style.top value of an element, I have to use the
following :
document.getElementById("TheDivInQuestion").style.top
Am I missing something that does this with something like : $
("#TheDivInQuestion").top or $("#TheDivInQuestion").style.top :?
(both of which don't work for me..)
