[jQuery] jMaps: Unable to continue, in need of new maintainer.
Hi folks, Unfortunately this has been on the cards for a while now. Due to an increase in my work schedule, and major move into Android application development I simply cannot afford the time to maintain this library any more. However I don't want to see the project die and I am looking for a maintainer or maintainers to take over the project and continue to improve it and fix any bugs. The maintainer would take control of this group and the google code repository. If you think you are up to the task, please email me off the list. Thanks, Tane Piper
[jQuery] Re: jMaps Updates
Hi Folks, The documentation is now available at http://map.ifies.org These documents cover the underlying API as well as several examples, these include: * Address searching + Reverse Geocoding * Directions Search * Adding a GeoXML Feed * Adding a Ground Overlay * Adding and Removing markers * Adding and Removing Polylines + Polygons * Adding and Removing Street Views * Adding and removing Traffic Info These don't cover all the API (for example Screen Overlay and Ads Manager) but give a quick overview of what can be done. The API documents show the underlying code that makes jMaps work. Here you can see all the methods that are directly callable via the .jmaps function, plus the options that can be passed and what is returned in the callback. All Releases in the future will be marked by their revision number in the SVN. At the moment, its r59 and you can download it from http://jmaps.googlecode.com/files/jquery.jmap-r59.js If you would like to see any more example uses, please get in touch and please remember to use the issue tracker to mark any bugs. Thanks, Tane On Nov 8, 10:26 pm, Tane Piper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey folks, I have found some time this weekend to finish off some improvements to the jMaps plugin for jQuery. First off, after jumping about a few repos - I've settled back on Google Code for this project, mainly because most people are familiar with it. The URL for the repo ishttp://code.google.com/p/jmaps/ In there, the latest revision is now available to download for testing. This version fixes a few bugs as well as adding support for Google's new reverse geocoding feature. Of course, this version uses the updated cleaner API which I am now getting round to documenting. If you check out the trunk you'll be able to see the API docs plus 3 small demos showing Address searching + reverse geocoding, directions searching and adding a GeoXML feed. I'm hoping to complete this tomorrow (but documentation is so boring) At the moment the docs are being autogenerated from the source, so you can look into it if your stuck:http://code.google.com/p/jmaps/source/browse/trunk/dist/jquery.jmap.js Please feel free to leave any issues on the tracker, or if you have any questions please get in touch.

[jQuery] Re: jMaps Updates
Hey Mike,
No thats an absolutly fair point and if you can suggest anything?
I don't want to have them as plugin functions, unlike getCenter and
getBounds as these are specific to the map. The functions you are
talking about are helper functions to be used anywhere within the
application, so:
var valid = SearchCode(result.code)
looks nicer than:
var valid = Mapifies.SearchCode(result.code) or var valid =
jQuery('#map').jmaps('SearchCode', result.code);
But I suppose the second version would make sense in the new API. If
you have any thoughts on it, please let me know.

Hi Tane,
That's some great coverage of functionality that you have there! But
why are you defining your helper functions to be global? Why not tuck
all the functionality into the Mapifies namespace? I know that Google
totally pollutes the global namespace, but I don't think it's a good
idea to follow their lead. Just my .02. :-)
Cheers!

[jQuery] Re: jMaps Updates
Another fair point.
I've pushed r61 which contains these changes and updated
documentation.

Not if you've clobbered someone else's SearchCode function. Or
createIcon, getCenter, getBounds, etc. You're making an assumption
about the environment that you have no control over.
[jQuery] New jMaps Release
Hi folks,
I'm pleased to announce a new release of jMaps. It's been a while
since it has been updated, but I found out it recently features in a
chapter in O'Reilly's JavaScript: The Missing Manual so I decided it
was probably time to fix it up!
The new release has a few major changes which I'll come onto later,
but none should affect your existing code too much (just method names,
as explained later)
This is a branch version with the new Mapifies namespace. The new
release is available at:
http://www.bitbucket.org/digitalspaghetti/mapifies/
Eventually, this will be merged back into the trunk version, however
the reason for the new code structure is as follows.
If you can't compile with ant, there is a pre-built version here:
http://jmaps.googlegroups.com/web/jquery.jmap.js
Within the source folder, you will see the new Google API stuff in
files like:
Google.Core.js
Google.Markers.js
The application is now split up into separate files for different
functions, to allow more modular code, and it's a hell of a lot easier
to read. If you don't need a function in the code (say for example
traffic then just don't include it in the build!) The new ant script
builds the output file, currently only building google, but eventually
it should support other map type too.
The API is mostly the same for function, the only exception being
functions are now capitalized. So for example seachDirections becomes
SearchDirections and addMarker becomes AddMarker.
Some options may have changed, check the functions defaults() method,
each main function has one of these and contains the default options
to be merged with what your passing.
The library is missing some of the features in the current release,
like streetview. However these were not finished in release, and I
need to review them.
One of the things to come out the API too is improved callbacks and
chainibility. Almost every function has a callback which allows you
to access the object you have created. This does put the onus on you
as the develop to handle events and errors. Here are a couple of
examples:
* Create a map and marker manager and add a marker and control
visibility with a toggle control.
jQuery('#map').jmap('init',
{
mapCenter:[55.958858,-3.162302]
}).jmap('CreateMarkerManager')
.jmap('AddMarker',
{
'pointLatLng':[55.958858,-3.162302]
}, function(marker) {
jQuery('.togglemarker').toggle(function(){
marker.hide();
}, function(){
marker.show();
});
});
* Add a feed to the map and control it's visiblity
jQuery('#map').jmap('AddFeed',
{
'feedUrl':'http://mapgadgets.googlepages.com/cta.kml'
}, function(feed){
jQuery('.togglefeed').toggle(function(){
feed.hide();
}, function(){
feed.show();
});
});
Here is an example of better error handling via callbacks, in this
example between addresses:
jQuery('#map').jmap('SearchDirections',
{
'fromAddress':'Edinburgh',
'toAddress':'Nowhere',
'panel':'#directions
}, function(directions) {
if (!directions.getStatus().code == 200) {
jQuery('#directions').html('strongDirections cannot be found/
strong');
return false;
}
return true;
});
Anyway, feel free to poke and prod at the code and feel free to
feedback any issues. There is a public tracker on the repo above that
you can raise tickets to as well.
Thanks,
Tane

[jQuery] Re: New jMaps Release
As I said, I'd work on the streetview module and here it is! You can
grab the latest source, or grab the build from here:
http://groups.google.com/group/jmaps/web/jquery.jmap.js
To see the streetview in action, here is a snippet to use:
$('#map1').jmap('init', {mapCenter:
[40.75271883902363,-73.98262023925781]}).jmap('CreateStreetviewPanorama',
{
'latlng': [40.75271883902363,
-73.98262023925781],
'overideContainer':'#map2'
}, function(view) {
$('.toggle-
streetview').toggle(function(){
view.hide()
}, function(){
view.show()
});
$('.remove-
streetview').click(function(){
view.remove();
});
});
This will let you see the streetview in another port from the map, and
with toggle and remove buttons to show you how easy it is all in one
chained function!

[jQuery] [Announce] Password Strength Meter 2 release
Hey folks,
Just a quick update to let you all know that I've released a new version
of my password strength meter plugin:
http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk/2008/05/new-password-strength-meter-released/
This version has a lot of improvements over the last few versions, and
now includes a method within the name space to add your own custom
validation methods, like so:
digitalspaghetti.password.addRule('twelvechar', function (word, score) {
return word.length = 12 score;
}, 3, true);
This would return true once the word is = 12 chars, and returns a score
of 3. The final true makes sure the validation method is added to the
list. You can write any type of validation rule here you like, and even
override existing ones. This was inspired by Jorn's validation plugin,
and the whole re-write was inspired by Doug Crockford's videos on YUI -
I suggest anyone serious about JavaScript development to check them out.
Any comments and feedback are welcome.

[jQuery] getJSON Callback not firing

LoadContent = $.klass({
initialize: function(options){
$loadingarea = this.element;
console.log($loadingarea)

[jQuery] [Announce] Release of jMap2 API
Recently I have been so busy that I’ve been neglecting some of my code -
however this weekend I decided to make some amends for that. The most
requested piece of code I have released has been the jMaps plugin for
jQuery.
The last version I worked on, I tried to combine a single API for Google
Maps and Yahoo Maps. With this new release, I am focusing on Google
Maps only.
This is a re-write from scratch, hence the new version is jMap2. First
of all, you need to grab the code - I’m now hosting it in my local
repository, and I’ll work on removing the Google Code page.
Download:
You can either download the release directly - jMap2 Alpha 1:
http://hg.pastemonkey.org/jmaps/archive/tip.tar.gz
or
http://hg.pastemonkey.org/jmaps/archive/tip.zip
Or you can grab the file from the mercurial repository:
hg clone http://hg.pastemonkey.org/jmaps jmap2
Below is a basic introduction to jMap2 - one thing I have been lacking
has been documentation, and I’d like to amend this at a later date, but
for now hopefully below will be enough to get you started.
API
$('#div').jmap(options, callback);
This is the initial function to use with jMap2. This will initialise a
GMap2 object and attach it to the selected DIV element. The map has
some default options that you can override:
$.jmap.defaults = {
// Initial type of map to display
// Options: map, sat, hybrid
mapType: map,
// Initial map center
mapCenter: [55.958858,-3.162302],
// Initial map size
mapDimensions: [400, 400],
// Initial zoom level
mapZoom: 12,
// Initial map control size
// Options: large, small, none
mapControlSize: small,
// Initialise type of map control
mapShowType: true,
// Initialise small map overview
mapShowOverview: true,
// Enable map dragging when left button held down
mapEnableDragging: true,
// Enable zooming with scroll wheel
mapEnableScrollZoom: false,
// Enable smooth zoom
mapSmoothZoom: true,
// Enable Google Bar
mapEnableGoogleBar: false
}
For example, to overide the map type, you simply pass:
$('#map').jmap({mapType: hybrid});
$('#map').markerManager();
The markerManager function creates a Google marker manager object, if
you create this all your markers will be added to it, otherwise they can
be directly rendered.
$('#map').addMarker(options, callback);
This allows you to add a marker to the map. It is called from other
functions such as searchAddress(). To add a point, you pass in
paramters to the function:
$('#map').addMarker({pointlat: 53, pointlng: -3});
There are other options to pass in, check the code to see them.
$('#map').createGeoCache();
This function creates a Geocoder Cache.
$('#map').createGeoCoder(cache);
Creates a GeoCoder object. The cache is optional.
$('#map').searchAddress(options, pass, callback);
Allows you to pass in an address and get a returned Geocode object. You
can optionally pass to addMarker() to add to the map as a marker:
$('#map').seachAddress({address: Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh,
addMarker: true, {isdraggable: true});
The above for example will search for Edinburgh Castle, add a tmarker
and allow it to be draggable (via the addMarker options).
This is all I’ve got so far, but I feel it is a good start towards a
new, more stable API.
Feel free to leave comments, I’d love to hear your opinions - especially
on what features to concentrate on and any optimization of code. Have fun!

[jQuery] Re: How do you do Client/Server interaction? (CakePHP/JSON/jQuery)
Just to let you all know, I've put up a tutorial explaining it a bit more here:
http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk/2007/11/02/developing-a-persistent-javascript-variable-with-cakephp-12-jquery/
Please feel free to comment as it probably could be improved upon.

function getJSON() {

What this component does is allows me to pass in arrays to a global
array in the controller, json_for_layout. Every time I call this from
a controller, it add's to the array. The next step is in my
beforeRender() function in my AppController, I do this:
$this-set('json_for_layout', $this-Json-getJSON());
This sets my view variable. I then need to actually generate the JSON
and output it to a var:
?php
class JsonHelper extends JavascriptHelper {
function renderJSON($data, $varname = 'Pastemonkey'){
$json = json_encode($data);
$output = $this-codeBlock('var ' . $varname . ' = ' . $json
. ';');
return $output;
}
}
?
Now, what I do is inside my header, I echo this out to the view:
?php e($json-renderJSON($json_for_layout));?
And thats it! Check your DOM tab in firebug to see the global object
now available.
For example, if I pass in my sitename, I can simply call it with:
Pastemonkey.sitename
Hope this helps out a few people, and I intend to write a more
thorough blog about it tomorrow.

[jQuery] Re: LiveQuery (Discuss Please)
Bahh, I accidently hit the send button as I was typing this out What I was trying to say was livequery is missing one major component that breeds bad design - an ajax history manager. I've tried using jquery ajax history plugins, and even tried developing my own hijax, but just couldn't get it to play nice when livequery was involved. This has led me to take out a lot of my ajax navigation and livequery is now only used for the messaging system in the app. Also, as I was also saying I wonder if it needs more speed testing and optimisation, as I've noticed an increase in speed in my app since I removed a lot of livequery.

[jQuery] [INTERESTING PLUGIN] Wait plugin
I came across an interesting plugin today on my travels around the web:
http://blog.jcoglan.com/2007/10/30/asynchronous-function-chaining-in-javascript
It's interesting, because it's a setTimeout plugin but is coded so it
can be chained along my event queue. For example, in my code before I
had:
$(self).animate({top: -90, opacity: 0.9}, 2000);
setTimeout(function() {
$(self).animate({ top: -150, opacity: 0 }, 1000);
}, 5000);
But using this plugin, I can now do:
$(self).animate({top: -90, opacity: 0.9}, 2000).wait(5).then.animate({
top: -150, opacity: 0 }, 1000);
To me, this makes a lot of sense, and also looks more jQuery-like.
Kudos for the developer for making this one.

I dunno, I'm one of these people starting to really see the benefits
of keeping as much out the core as possible, as jQuery's plugin
architecture doesn't add any overhead, although I'm starting to link
along the lines of jQuery.core.js and jQuery.utilities.js, where
functions like this come as part of a core package, but are not
required by the core.

[jQuery] Live Query + History Remote plugin issues
Hey folks,
I've hit a snag in developing my application, and I'm hoping someone
out there can help.
I have been using Live Query on my app now for a few weeks and
everything has been working great so far.
At the weekend, I decided to introduce the History remote plugin into
my app, so the back button can be used - but this has introduced an
annoying bug. To try explain:
When the page at http://dev.pastemonkey.org loads, I click View All
Pastes, and it loads fine. The URL loads into my #content div, and
the window.location update.
Now, when I click any other link (for example New Paste), and I
watch firebug what loads is the New Paste page View All Pastes
page again, then below it the New Paste page again, however what
loads in the #content area depends on what is the last thing loaded,
and in the case of the New Paste form, it's always View All Pastes
because that takes longer to load.
My code is quite simple:
$('a.ajaxLink').livequery(function(){
$(this).remote('#content');
return false;
});
However, I think the problem lies in the History plugin, as inside the
.remote() function, there is a click bind within the function.
However any attempts to debug it have failed. Can anyone help out
with this?

[jQuery] Re: Plug-in Developers...
One massive tip for developing plugins, is to make them futureproof
and compatible with the jQuery.noConflict() is to develop your plugin
inside a closure:
(function($){
...
})(jQuery);
This means you can use. $ inside your plugin and never worry about it
not working with jQuery. Since I use .noConflict() in my app, I've
seen problems with many plugins that are not developed this way.

Rick,
I agree with you and as far as my plugins and myself are concerned, it is a
learning experience for me also. Almost all my code prior to coming upon
jQuery has been for my eyes only and never thought twice about someone
else needing to understand what I heck I am trying to do. But since
developing my first plugin jqShuffle, my commenting and instructions have
improved, eg. jqGalView, but that is only because of the questions that were
asked. The questions asked help me understand where I needed to improve in
my instructions and wording.
My point is, and I am assuming it is the same for all new plugin developers
who never had to make their code usable of others, that it is a learning
experience and can only get better with constructive tips.
Thanks for bring this up again Rick, keeping good documentation on the front
burner is very good for us all.

Good morning, all…
After seeing that some who are new to jQuery wrestle
with trying to get something working, I had the idea that perhaps
we need a Quick Start Guide for jQuery generally and
plug-ins specifically.
What experienced users can grapple with the sometimes overwhelming
amount of info involved with jQuery as a whole, newbies get lost quickly,
especially those who have no previous js experience… and that would be
a major part of the growing user base, I would think, of jQuery. I'm one
of those newbies with little prior js experience.
However, I've been around jQuery and the community that I kind of
get the system…
Once someone is experienced with jQuery, it's easy to look at this
with new eyes.
Developers, Team Members, if it's not already there, please consider
offering a bottom-up, nothing-assumed, Quick Start Guide to
whatever is being explained. That's where newbies will almost always
turn for a quick, gratifying experience. After success with that, they
dig deeper as the addiction grows!

[jQuery] Timeout on a .getScript()
Hey folks,
In my app, what I have on pageload is a .getScript() that loads in the
Ajax API for recaptcha (as can be seen at
http://pastemonkey.digitalspaghetti.me.uk).
I also use blockUI on this site, and I have hit a snag, in that if the
getScript fails for whatever reason, it doesn't time out and the Ajax
request continues, hence my .ajaxStop that removes the blockUI is
never fired.
I'm wondering, is there a way to timeout the getScript after x seconds
if the request fails, and return the UI to the user?
If not, maybe an idea for additonal functionality?
$.getScript('.', 'timeout', function(){
..Code in here for sucess.
}, function() {
.Code in here for fail to get within timeout.

It is still in the beta stage, but very functional, with features such as: * Use of Live Query and jQuery UI to create a rich interface * A permalink for both the user (http://pastemonkey.org/add/yournamehere) and for pastes * Expiry time for pastes (Day, Week, Month or Never) * The ability to edit a paste, and download a diff patch file, as well as download the origional source * Live Search, where you type in the word you are looking for in the source, tab off the field and it will be searched and highlighted for you * SPAM CAPTCHA using ReCaptcha (a captcha project with a purpose, check out http://recaptcha.net) * You are able to search by tags and by language to find similar posts. Hopefully you will all find it useful, and I am happy to offer subdomains to any communities that may want to use the bin (or you can host your own if you dare!), and please submit any bugs or enhancements at http://code.google.com/p/pastemonkey/issues/list -- Tane Piper Blog - http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk AJAX Pastebin - http://pastemonkey.org This email is: [ x ] blogable [ ] ask first [ ] private
[jQuery] Ignoring field within whole DIV
Hi there,
I am running into a little problem, I cannot seem to get my code to
work to ignore 1 field inside a DIV. I have a .ajaxLoad() on the div,
that fires block UI when the content of the DIV changes, however also
inside the DIV I have a field that has a autocomplete attached to it.
When I type in this field, it fires the .ajaxLoad() and the block UI.
My code is below:
$pastemonkey('#PasteTags').livequery(function(){
$pastemonkey(this).autocomplete('/tags/find/', {multiple: true,
matchContains: true});
});
$pastemonkey is my own var for $ using .noConflict. I've tried using
:not but couldn't get it to work. Can anyone help?

Its what's called a colaborative paste bin. Basically, if you are in IRC and stuck on some code, rather than flood the channel with your code you paste it to the web and post the link, anyone can now look and edit it. It's also a great place to put snippits of code to share - especially now my local version has the expiry stuff working and I'll be uploading it later today.

[jQuery] Paste Monkey Beta Launched
Hi folks, I'm pleased to announce the public beta of my latest app, Paste Monkey: http://cakephp.digitalspaghetti.me.uk At the moment, this is a beta application. I'm still waiting for the proper domain name to propagate through, but until then it's sitting at that URL. Paste Monkey is Yet Another Pastebin, but hopefully your see by playing with it, that it's a very nice pastebin :) It is pretty much full AJAX, due to the wonderful LiveQuery plugin for jQuery being used. It's built with CakePHP 1.2, with jQuery for JavaScript/AJAX and the GeSHi library for code highlighting. Some features include: *The ability to directly input your username via http://cakephp.digitalspaghetti.me.uk/add/digitalspaghetti * Around 50 languages supported * The ability to download the code in a formatted file * Create amendments between pastes, and download the Diff file * A Button to select all text * You are able to tag pastes, making them easily searchable Some planned features include: The ability to attach images to pastes, for example showing a screenshot of a bug Captch to reduce spam (because it's eventual) Add in expiry date code User accounts to track and delete pastes The project is also open source, and available at http://pastemonkey.googlecode.com, where there is also an issue tracker to submit bugs and comments. p.s. if you do use it, please remember that this is a beta application and the data is not safe nor permanent, so please do not use for anything important. -- Tane Piper http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk This email is: [ ] blogable [ x ] ask first [ ] private

It would be interfaced to the plugin repository. this would mean developers would login to their area and : - create a new project - associate the plugins he uses in this project. Now, plugin authors can update their plugins in the repository. Therefore, it is possible to have a warning: update is available for plugin pluginname displayed on the developer area page. He can then see in which of his projects he used it, and know where updates need to be done. This interface does not need to be clogged of everything jquery, but only for tracking updates and personal projects.

[jQuery] [ANNOUNCE] New Simple Array manager plugin
Today, I've released a small bit of code that I have been working
with. I needed an easy way to track my arrays, and be able to pop and
push data in to them, so i created the jQuery simple array manager:
http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk/index.php?q=node/31
To use the manager, you first need to create your 2D array:
var myArray = $().arrayMan({width: 6, height: 6});
You can then pop data into any x/y position within the array:
$().arrayPush(myArray, 'This is the data I want to insert', {x:0, y6});
To display this data, I can then easily assign it to a variable for example:
var mydata = $().arrayPop(myArray, {x:0, y:6});
The plugin should be easily expendable to support more dimensions in
arrays, but for my needs I only needed a 2D array. Hope someone finds
this code useful.

If it begins, it will animate fully and then remember to do the closing animation if you moused out in the meantime. I think the ability to stop animations mid-way is planned for a future release of jQuery. In the meantime I highly recommend looking at Brian Cherne's hoverIntent plugin as it will definitely help cut down on triggering unwanted animations for menus like this. haha, very funny, Joel. :-) I hope Ganeshji Marwaha doesn't mind my pasting a previous email of his that answers the same question: 1. There is a plugin called hover intent. The primary purpose of this plugin is to stop these kind of actions on unintentional hovers. So, you can allow the user to move the mouse over ur link, and when it is clear that the users intention is to actually use the link, the hover event is fired. This can solve your problem although, this might not be what you are looking for. 2. You can unbind the mouseover event when the animation starts and in the animation end callback you can bind the handler again. Same can be done for mouse out as well. This way if the user mouseovers the link, the unbind event happens and the animation starts. During this time if the user hovers over it again and again, your handler wont be called because you have unbound it already. Once the animation is done, attach the handler again. And you can see an implementation of suggestion #2 in Ganeshji's jQuerified version of another Mootools accordion thingie: http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jkwick/test/test.html Just have a look at the source js. That should get you going in the right direction. This questions has been asked a lot lately.

Are you hard-coding the easing or allowing options?

One suggestion. Use a button sprite to have the caps and the body as
part of the same image. That way it would load all at once.

wow, u guys overwhelm me ;-). I sent this message before starting for
work, and when i reach my desk i have such a pleasant surprise...
Thanks
guys...
Now, lemme answer some of your concerns...
@Stephan - I am sure u know what !important is. If your question is,
why i have commented that out, then, it is because, the original
mootools
author chose to use images as menu items instead of text for some
reason.
Since he used images, he had to hack IE 6 with gif versions of the
images.
So, he had the !important hacks in place. But, since i figured it is
cleaner
and easier to use text rather than images there, i didnt need those
hacks,
so i just commented them out. ;-)
Also, the backout easing effect is causing the bubble to move out of
the target sometimes... I experimented with other easing effects, and
it
looks cool for most of them. I chose to display backout as my first
effect
because that is the same as
what mootools version uses and that will give you apples and apples to
compare and comment.
@Brandon - Thanks a ton... blushing
@Mike - Thanks
@Andy - I am using the hoverIntent plugin, that is probably causing
the delay, but as of now i dont have a choice because, if i directly
use
hover, then the effect will be spoilt. For example, if you move your
mouse
all the way across from the first menu item to the last menu item and
then
back, you will notice a long animation that slowly passes over one
menu item
after another although your intent was not to hover over the interim
menu
items. This can at present be solved with interface's animation
library. I
will try that next. The good news is, once jquery 1.2 comes out, i
wont need interface plugin as well, coz John has promised a method to
stop
animations for jquery 1.2
@Rick - Yes, you are right... You will find lot of documentation when
this little thing progresses into a plugin. I really have an eye for
documentation. Take a look at my
jCarouselLitehttp://gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/index.phpand u will
know what i am mean ;-) jus kidding...
@Rajesh - See comments for @Andy above. I guess that should address
your concern.
Thanks again guys... Based on the reponse it seems that it is worth
making this into a real plugin... I will start doing that...

Is it intentional that the bubble slides past its target, and then
back (a single bounce effect)? That's a bit disconcerting - when
it
happens i think, oh, no, it's moving to the wrong menu item. Have
you tried it without the bounce?
And a CSS question for you:

[jQuery] Re: Cycle Plugin update
Very nice - I like the fact you haven't limited to only some transition types, but allow for custom types too. I'll be having a look at this one more in-depth. On 8/13/07, Mike Alsup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've just uploaded a new version of the Cycle Plugin: http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/ This new version adds some new transition effects, the ability to create custom transitions, and the ability to transition on a click event rather than a timeout. But the biggest change is an overhaul to how transitions are defined. Transitions are now defined using a plugin scheme. This means you can create your own transition definitions, plug them in to the Cycle Plugin, and then use them by name. This provides a lot of flexibility, and together with the custom transition support lets you create some pretty wacky stuff. The documentation provides lots of examples. Cheers!

[jQuery] jQuery-fy Ellipsis code
Hey folks,
I took up the challenge of Steffen Rusitschka to convert his Ellipsis
code from Prototype to jQuery. Unfortunately I decided to do this at
the end of my work day as a little aside, and haven't managed to crack
it yet - so I'm posting what I have so far to see if anyone can fix it
- My demo is here: http://dev.digitalspaghetti.me.uk/ellipsis/
His original code is here:
http://www.ruzee.com/blog/2007/08/ellipsis-or-truncate-with-dots-via-javascript/
And here is what I have so far (please note it uses the Dimensions plugin):
(function($){
$.fn.ellipsis = function(){
$(this).css({marginRight: '-1px'});
var w = $(this).width() - 1;
var t = $(this).html();
$(this).html('span'+ $(this).html() +'/span');
while (t.length 0 $(this).children().width()= w) {
t = t.substr(0, t.length - 1);
$(this).children().html(t + ...);
}
}
})(jQuery);
I did a console.log on 't' inside the while, and it does remove the
characters one by one, but doesn't seem to stop. If anyone can figure
it out (probably easy but I've had a long day), you get the cookie.
It's also very slow, so if you can figure out a way to speed it up,
that would be handy too.

[jQuery] Re: Checking for popup blocker when using click()
Hi Geoff, I think the point of popup blockers is that they should be non-detectable, otherwise every spam site would just disable it and it would be useless. Instead of a popup, why not use something like a modal element, which allows you to have popup/alert like functionality by appending a div to the current window, and making that the focus object - the user then needs to click a button to close it. There are a few modal plugins out there, check the plugin repository at http://jquery.com/plugins On 13/08/07, Geoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

I've been thinking about what these might be and have a lot of other ideas. In our books we would start with the most basic uses of jQuery and move up in difficulty and level towards later chapters. We would aim to have How Tos that actually did things that are useful but we would try and keep them short as possible.

[jQuery] Re: jQuery Maps 1.3 released with Yahoo! Maps Support
Yep, that's the idea. When you set up the map, there are lots of
options that allows you to add and remove controls from the page, as
well as disabling map dragging and enabling mouse zoom.
In regards to adding pins, at the moment the plugin allows just
standard red google markers and orange yahoo markers, the next release
I intend to allow custom icon support, similar to how the polylines
are at the moment (you build the icon in your own code and pass it to
the addPoint method)
At the moment when adding a point, it is usually done by searching for
an address, I should actually add the functionality to just be able to
click a point onto the map too. You can then save this in your db, as
the map returns the lat/lon data by returning the data to a form.
I then show this saved data on the map by outputing a mix of js and php:
$('#mymap').addPoint(?php e($lat);?,?php e($lon);?,?php
e($html);?, false, false);
Now when the point shows on the map, you click it and whatever
contents were passed into $html will show in the infowindow.
Hope this helps.

[jQuery] Building up DOM tree using .append()
Hey folks,
I'm optimizing one of my plugins, and I'm looking to move from
creating HTML within a var and using .html() to add it to the element,
to creating the elements on the fly.
I've tried the below, with no luck because .append() does not accept a
callback, but hopefully someone will understand what I'm trying to do:
jQuery(controlbox).append('span class=hide^/span');
jQuery(controlbox).append('span
class=aheader' +
settings.header + '/span');
jQuery(controlbox).append('div
class=ability/div', function(){
if (settings.textsizer == true) {
if (curtextsize) {
jQuery('body').removeClass().addClass(curtextsize); }
jQuery(this).append('ul
class=fontsize/ul', function(){
for (var i=0, len
= settings.textsizeclasses.length; i len; i++) {
jQuery(this).append('lia
href=# class=btn-' +
settings.textsizeclasses[i] + ' rel=' + settings.textsizeclasses[i]
+ '' + settings.textsizeclasses[i].toUpperCase() + '/a/li');
}
});
}
});
Basically, the code gets as far as div class=ability / in Firebug
- so what i want to happen next is within this DIV, the ul
class=fontsize / is appended, and then each LI element is added.
ANY help is much appreciated.

var deletelink = this;
var deleteid = $(deletelink).attr('id');
var x=window.confirm(Are you sure you want to delete?)

function(deleteid){
$j(deletelink).parent().parent().slideUp('slow').remove();
});
return false;
} else {

});
Since my table structure is always the same, I can find the parent TD,
then the parent TR and remove them from the DOM tree.

deleting the post from my system, but when it is sucsessful I also
want to hide the table row.
A typical row looks like this:
tr id=post-8 class=odd
td8/td
tdTest Post/td

function(deleteid){
$j('tr').attr('id', 'post-' +
deleteid).slideUp('slow');
});
return false;
} else {
return false;
}
});
When the code executes, it does delete the post from the system, it is
then supposed to find the corresponding row and the slideUp is fired.
But instead of just the row, the whole table disappears!
The code also seems ugly to me, does anyone have a more elegant
solution, maybe finding the parent tr of the link??

[jQuery] [SITE] Performancing using jQuery
Came across this on Technorati: http://performancing.com/the-new-pmetrics-dashboard The new pMetrics Dashboard is designed to quickly and efficiently show you the traffic data that you care about. It is full of live refresh fun (many thanks to the jQuery JavaScript library), and includes the ability to drag and drop the modules to wherever you want on the screen. They'll stay there forever until you move them again. The screenshot above shows a number of modules from the Dashboard. Take the 'Links' one for example. It shows your top 5 incoming links by default, but also allows you to view outgoing links and top incoming domains simply by clicking the appropriate link. Only that module is updated when you click items, making the dashboard very fast and efficient at getting the data you want. Trend data from the previous period is shown on the right for each item, in green if your trend is good, or red if it's bad. If you are viewing a single day, the previous period is the day before. If you are viewing a date range, for example the last 14 days, then the previous period is the 14 days before that. You can hover your mouse over the trend to see a tooltip that defines the previous period for you and gives you the value. Clicking on the trend is where things get a lot more interesting, though. The module will instantly refresh and show you trend data for just that one item, either from the last 14 days if you are viewing single days, or the last 10 periods if you are viewing a date range. Screenshot In development is the ability to pick and choose only the modules you want, and choose how much data is shown within each individual module. We'll also be adding a Google Maps module. However, these features will be for premium accounts only! Detailed trend data (when you click the trend link) will also become premium only, but is available to everyone right now. Overall, it's a lot of fun, especially the trend data. Ideas from the new Dashboard will be implemented into the rest of the site over the coming weeks, so the whole site will work like this rather than just the dashboard. Please help us spread the word by blogging about this! We think the new interface is really cool and we want everyone to know about it. :) Have fun! -- Tane Piper http://digitalspaghetti.tooum.net This email is: [ x ] blogable [ ] ask first [ ] private
[jQuery] Re: [ANNOUNCE] Check Out dzone.com for jQuery Articles
Another tip for jQuery's avid readers is for Technorati. If you search for jQuery in the tags, you can get an many new daily posts about other peoples experiences with jQuery - including code, plugins, examples, tests, reviews and editorials: http://technorati.com/tags/jquery Now, if you get the RSS feed and put it in your reader - you now get a daily pipe of all Jquery-related stories on the blogosphere. To boot, Technorati already uses jQuery on its site :) On 7/18/07, Rey Bango [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Many of you may not be aware of a news aggregator called dzone.com. dzone is a jQuery-powered site which offers links to awesome development postings and stories and allows you to vote for these stories in much the same fashion as you would on Digg (also jQuery-powered). The big difference is that Dzone is technology-specific and offers complimentary options such as the dzone Snippets source code repository, dzone Jobs, EclipseZone (Eclipse IDE community) and much more. There's a wealth of information on there and a ton of jQuery-related material, some of which has not even been discussed on this list. Please be sure to visit dzone.com and register for an account. There are times when we post articles on the site and your vote definitely counts in ensuring exposure.
