[jQuery] List overload

[Trans]

I just want to point out that this list is so active that I simply
can't keep up. I wonder if splitting the list into two or more lists
based on some criteria would be advisable.

Just a thought,
trans.

 try a mailclient that supports threaded views (you have to turn it on
 though), then regularly 'mark all as read' even though you only scanned
 the headlines..

I already use Google Groups. Problem is there are so many new topics
every day.

Maybe it's not feasible but I wish I could look at product
announcements separate from beginners questions and separate from
advanced discussions.

[jQuery] Re: Progress image swap

[Trans]

FYI, I figured out a solution.

The trick was to use setTimeout() to run the loading code as a
separated process.

  $(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_on.gif).show('fast');
  setTimeout(load_stuff_with_ajax,100);

Thanks for youall's attempt to help. I appreciate your efforts.

[jQuery] Progress image swap

[Trans]

Hi--

I'm pulling my hair out trying to make this work. I want to change an
image to an animated gif to indicate progress while I pull down some
files via synchronous ajax, and then switch the image back to a static
one when finished. Everything I try fails, invariably the animated gif
doesn't become visible until all the ajax loads complete, and then of
course it gone. HEre the basic code I have at them moment:

  $(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_on.gif).show('fast', function() {
load_stuff_with_ajax();
$(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_off.gif).show();
  });

Any help will is greatly appreciated. I can;t tell you how sick I am
of reading tutorials saying how easy AJAX is when the simple things
like seem impossible to figure out.

Thanks,
T.

 This is untested but something like:

 var ajaxCalles = 16;
   $(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_on.gif) // change the src tag to the
 animate gif
 $.ajax({
 url: 'myurl',
 success : function(){//do processing},
 error: function(){/process error},
 complete : function(){
 ajaxCalles--;
 if(ajaxCalles == 0){
 $(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_off.gif)

 }
 } // this gets called after success and error callbacks are executed
 });

 Make your group of ajax call like above and that should get you going.

Thanks again. I implemented exactly what you suggested and
unfortunately it does the exact same thing. All rendering of the page
seems to occur only after all the javascript completes execution. It's
like one made flurry of page rendering just at the end. Why would that
be? Do I have to flush a change queue or something?

 Any chance you can post a test page somewhere?  It's a little hard to

Here's a strip down rendition of exactly what I'm doing:

  function Mica() {
this.tally = 18;
this.types = ['htm', 'txt', 'xml', 'gif', 'jpg', 'png'];
this.sizes = ['sm', 'md', 'lg'];
  };

  Mica.prototype.start = function() {
var mica = this;
$(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_on.gif).show(fast, function()
{
  mica.load_files();
});
  };

  Mica.prototype.load_files = function() {
for(var i=0; i  this.types.length; i++) {
  ftype = this.types[i];
  for(var j=0; j  this.sizes.length; j++) {
fsize = this.sizes[j]
fname = data/ + ftype + / + fsize + . + ftype;
this.load_up(fname, ftype, fsize);
  };
};
  };

  Mica.prototype.load_up = function(fname, ftype, fsize) {
var mica = this;
$.ajax({
  url: fname,
  cache: false,
  async: false,
  complete: function() {
mica.tally--;
if (mica.tally == 0) {
  $(#meter).attr(src,img/meter_off.gif);
}
  }
});
  };

 Trans: async: false means that the browser will lock up each request will
 not do it asynchronously, which means the code we provide will not work.  Is
 there a reason you are doing it with async: false?

Ah, so it's not refreshing the screen _before_ it starts into the
synchronous load. The reason I'm using async: false is b/c I'm also
timing how long it take to load _each_   file.

[jQuery] Ajax/load doesn't load Google Ads?

[Trans]

Hi--

I am using AJAX to load a sidebar into my page:

  $('#side').load('side.html')

It loads fine except for the the Google Ad code that is in side.html:

  div style=margin-left: 3px;
  script type=text/javascript!--
  google_ad_client = pub-;
  google_ad_width = 160;
  google_ad_height = 600;
  google_ad_format = 160x600_as;
  google_ad_type = text_image;
  //2007-10-01: xanadu
  google_ad_channel = 9867202388;
  google_color_border = 336699;
  google_color_bg = FF;
  google_color_link = FF;
  google_color_text = 00;
  google_color_url = 008000;
  //--
  /script
  script type=text/javascript
src=http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js;
  /script
  /div

Why doesn't this execute when loaded by the ajax load method? Is there
a way for me to fix it?

Thanks,
T.

 Try $(window).unload(...). Works for me on firefox. I think these docs are

Thanks. That worked for when the window changes or redirects.

Is there anyway to detect a browser window being closed?

[jQuery] unload

I tried this:

  $(document).unload(function() { alert(Bye now!); } );

But it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I doing wrong?

(I'm using the latest version of jQuery.)

 Hello,

 is it possible in prototype to get all checkboxes on a page with a fixed

 and i want to get all checkboxes beginning on my_

I'm having a similar issue. I used:

var videos_checkboxes = $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

That seems to work, however I can't seem to use it. I have:

var videos = [];
var videos_checkboxes = $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

alert( videos_checkboxes.size() );  // returns 3 like I expect

   // But this only iterates over 1 element and it is not a jQuery
object.

$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each(function(i, e) {
  alert(e); // [object HtmlInputElement]  (why?)
  videos.push(e.val());  // Error
});

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to collect all the value attributes
of the selected checkboxes.

 jQuery always returns a jQuery object, regardless of whether it finds
 anything or not. To see if anything has been selected, use last.length or
 last.size() being greater than 0. This is by design so chaining won't break
 if nothing is selected:

 $('.someSelector').addClass('highlighted');

 Will add the class to the selected stuff, if anything is selected.
 Otherwise, it doesn't do anything.

Ah, of course. That makes lots of sense. Thanks for the tip.

[jQuery] find is finding what?

[Trans]

Hi, I have the following:

var stack = $('#mydiv')
var last = stack.find('.card:last-child');

It doesn't make sense to me, b/c even if stack has no children, last
is being assigned to some object irregardless of the '.card' filter.
To work around I had to do this next:

if (last.is('.card')) {
  return last;
} else {
  return null;
};

What am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,
T.
