[jQuery] Odd behavior calling height() or width() on a page with flash content
OK, this is strange, at best. I'm trying to use the clueTip plugin for some titles on a page that plays video content in a flash player, in the event that the title has exceeded a given length. clueTip works fine, but it's triggering a redraw of the flash content in FF. Working fine in IE. I think I've narrowed the problem down somewhat - in testing, I can check the height() / width() of pre-existing content, but if I create a div and check its height() / width(), the redraw is triggered. Am I going slowly mad, or is this something anybody else has seen?

Thickbox and an iFrame linking to a secure page would do the same thing.

Don't know about your problem, but if you give the UI Tabs another
try, you can utilize the click callback. If that callback returns
false, the tab click gets aborted. So you would have to return false
only in case of the first tab gets clicked:
var $tabs = $('#example').tabs({
click: function() {
if ($tabs.tabsSelected() == 1) return false;
}
});

Here's the code I'm using:
document.onkeydown = function(e){
if (e == null) { // ie
keycode = event.keyCode;
} else { // mozilla
keycode = e.which;
}
if(keycode == 27){ // escape, close box
tb_remove();
} else if(keycode==13) { // return, submit form
signMeUp();
}
document.onkeydown = function(e){
if (e == null) { // ie
keycode = event.keyCode;
} else { // mozilla
keycode = e.which;
}
if(keycode == 27){ // escape, close box
tb_remove();
} else if(keycode==13) { // return, submit form
signMeUp();

[jQuery] Re: .hover() issue
Well, this isn't the prettiest way of doing it, and it isn't formatted
to be a plugin, but this works:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".HP_Column1").hover( expand, contract );
});
function expand() {
$(".HP_Column1").unbind("hover");
$(".HP_Column1").animate({width: 525}, 1500, function() {
$(this).hover(expand, contract); });
};
function contract() {
$(".HP_Column1").unbind("hover");
$(".HP_Column1").animate({width: 325}, 1500, function() {
$(this).hover(expand, contract); });
};
The reason this works is that, when you hover, this immediately
disconnects the hover until the animation is completed. Then, it simply
reconnects the hover again. I haven't tested it completely (I'm on a
very old iBook G4, my testing options are limited), but it does work on
this machine.

Hi,
I came across a weird situation. I would appreciate if someone can
help me figure out a way to prevent this.
Please see my sample page at http://www.rabbihorowitz.com/index_new2.cfm.
The way this is supposed to work is that when you hover over the red
column it animates and expands over the green column and contracts
back when you remove your mouse.
But I found that (in Firefox) if you put your mouse over the red
(which starts the animation) and then you quickly move your mouse over
the green area before it gets covered, the animation will go into this
silly loop where it will expand and contract continuously for as long
as you leave your mouse in the green area (in IE it will stop after a
few loops but in FF it goes on forever). How can I prevent this from
happening?

[jQuery] Re: What does "Unobtrusive Javascript" mean?
Hey, Pops -
I'm actually getting ready to do a presentation on this - Unobtrusive
Javascript and CSS. See, when a page is designed through MS-Word, for
example, the CSS styles are embedded directly in the page (usually,
directly in the element itself). This works, but it's ugly and not
easily extensible.
The same applies to Javascript - if you've got a link, for example,
with href="javascript:alert('foo');" in it, it's hard-coded. Inflexible
and inefficient.
The jQuery way (which is way beyond jQuery, but jQuery makes this easy)
is to create elements which can be 'hooked' into (a link with an ID /
class, which CSS and JS can connect to easily). A separate CSS or JS
file can be included in the head of the document, which hooks to that
element and does something to it.
The beauty of it is, down the line, all the elements of a given
class/ID can be updated/modified in a single central location. An
example with CSS - take a look at Zen Garden sometime to see it in
action. The same things can be done via JS - if a developer creates a
page, he can swap in and out JS files which can perform drastically
different actions on the same elements.
Hope this helps!

[jQuery] Re: Adobe AIR question - keypress?
Ah. keypress is set to something screwy for the arrow keys, I think. For alphanumeric, keypress works fine in Safari.

[jQuery] Re: Adobe AIR question - keypress?
Well, it works, but it's catching the keydown event, not the keypress - so I'm back to having to hit the key over and over...

[jQuery] Re: [NEWS] VERY COOL Bookmarklet Element Inspector
Something to note about the XRay bookmarklet, though - when you close it, it destroys any javascript event handlers you've set up. Not a big issue, just reload your page, but even so, it sort of blows up the bridges behind it. Mike Alsup wrote: You can also just use FireBug and click the DOM tab. You'll see the jQuery object in the global namespace. You can then drill in and and see that it's version 1.1.3.1 (jQuery.fn.jquery). Mike For those who don't know how I found that it's a jQuery app, I just right-clicked on the bookmarklet (after I'd bookmarked it), chose 'Properties...', and copied and pasted the url into Aptana.

Heh. I dissected it a bit, and it's a jQuery app. cool. - Toby Rey Bango wrote: Ajaxian is reporting about a very neat and cool bookmarklet, XRay, that helps you visually get information about specific elements on your page. The site best describes its functionality as "a free cross browser tool (a bookmarklet) that lets you see the box model in action for any element, letting you see beneath the skin of any web page. Just click the XRAY button to instantly answer those vital questions: where is the top and left of this element? how big is each margin? how big is the padding? how wide and high is the content box?". I tried this out and it was VERY cool. While there's some overlap with Firebug, this is definitely being added to my toolkit. The only downside is that it doesn't work on IE. http://westciv.com/xray/ Rey...
[jQuery] Re: Layout Panels?
ExtJS has been written to be compatible with YUI, Prototype or jQuery so, to answer your question, yes. Use the ExtJS layout panels, and use your jQuery as well. Mitchell - ExtJS is another JS library, extending the functionality of what some core libraries are doing. There is some (not much, from what I've seen) overlap, but mostly it's cosmetic functionality that works pretty well. Yes, it's free. It was originally written for the YUI framework, but much work has gone into making it play nice with jQuery.

[jQuery] Re: 3 state buttons - The Final Act - and a jQuery bug?
Wooo... Whatever you do, don't mouse in and out of that nest really fast -- it queues up a bunch of fades in/out. Funky!! Mitchell Waite wrote: I added the 3 state button to the final application I am working on. In doing so I learned a lot about jQuery, so if you are a beginner you might want to check this code out with view source. It shows a lot of different features of the scripting language. I am sure someone could see a way to make it better but I think its pretty close to perfect. http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/3statebutton_framed_4.html It works best in Firefox. I think I found a bug in jQ's effects. In IE the small button leaves a white hole in the image. Not in Firefox. Could this be related to the image type? I am using PNGs cause they have so much transparency control compared to GIFs. Or is this a bug in the jQuery fadeTo function? Mitch

That's just the way Gmail threads its messages. It appears the poster

Instead of using the actual subject Gmail uses a common index or ID
that is in the message header. Some mail clients don't do this which
is why we often see two or more threads on the same topic, e.g.,
Subject and re: Subject.
The downside to this is that original subject title in no longer

[jQuery] Re: Binding actions after an ajax call?
Answering my own question... I tried it out, and this works beautifully,
so far:
$('#myEventList div.itemContent').load('/events/quicklist',
function(){
$('#myEventList div.itemContent a.event').bind('click',
function(){
showEventDetails(this.id);
})
});
... And then showEventDetails() strips out what it needs, and does the
same load() for each related DIV. Woo-hoo!! jQuery ROCKS! And it makes
rapid development simple with CakePHP!!
