[jQuery] Re: Script to keep draggable windows in the main window not working?

[pd]

I'm completely guessing but i think these lines might be the problem:

newTop= window.height - $(this).outerHeight();
newLeft= window.width - $(this).outerWidth();

maybe try:

newTop= $(window).height() - $
(this).outerHeight();
newLeft= $(window).width() - $(this).outerWidth
();

Good luck

[jQuery] Proposal: new method for determining variables without value

[pd]

Hi All

This idea by James Edwards seems like a winner and an ideal candidate
for a new jQuery core utility method:

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/10/16/techy-treasures-1/

Obviously his choice of name conflicts with the jQuery .empty() method
however another name could be used such as:

hasValue()

This method would simply return a boolean response.

What does everyone think?

[jQuery] Safari Mac fatal error

[pd]

Hi All

Had some trouble today with Safari on a crApple. Thought I should pass
it on in case anyone else suffers a similar fate and wants to keep
what hair they have (if any) on their heads.

This is a case of one browser being significantly more strict than
several others. So strict it stops loading the script code when it
incurs this error whereas - rightly or wrongly - most other browsers
cope with the problem which is:

duplicate function names

Now come on, confess, what coder doesn't make liberal use of the old
copy/paste? In this case one section of jQuery code was copied and the
function names were not changed so they became unique. A cut down
example:

$(document).ready(

  function () {

 field1.click(

   function somename () {

 // do something

   }

 );

field2.click(

   function somename () {

 // do something

   }

 );

  }

);

This code will fail on Safari Mac 2.0.4 (419.3) due to the duplicated
somename function however **does not fail** on

Safari Win 3.0.3 (522.15.5)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/
2007110805 Minefield/3.0b2pre
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/
20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9
IE Win 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254
IE Win 7.0.5730.11

For the record I understand that this code should probably break every
time, but since the majority of mainstream browsers do not force this
code to break, consistency is better than idealism in cross browser
coding, I think :)

[jQuery] hasLayout question

[pd]

Hello

This is a CSS question more than a jQuery one. I hope people don't
mind.

Using the IE Developer Toolbar version 1.00.2188.0 when I try to check
the value of the hasLayout property of an element, I invariably get
-1.

What does this value mean? Generally speaking I thought a value of -1
in a preference context means no value has been set, or the value is
auto.

I'd really appreciate if anyone could give me their experiences of
what values the IE Dev Toolbar shows and their corresponding real-
world meaning.

[jQuery] $(document).ready window.history.back() bug?

Not sure if this should go straight to the dev list so trying here

$(document).ready(

  function () {

   $('td.dynamicBackButton').addClass('txtAlignRight');

   $('.dynamicBackButton').append('button tabindex=-1

 Umm... window.history.back() loads a new page (well, an arbitrarily

 i can't imagine that it is. Calling back() is similar to using GOTO -
 you send flow control somewhere completely different at that point.

[jQuery] Documentation on $('#foo')[0] or $('#foo').get(0) ??

[pd]

Hi All

I've been hacking with jQuery on and off lately and I've now hit the
annoying problem of not being able to access simple DOM 0 properties
unless, apparently, using either of the following syntaxes:

$('#foo')[0]

$('#foo').get(0)

Eventually after scratching my head each time, I've found this syntax
answer again. However is this documented? I really find the jQuery
documentation very handy but I do not remember seeing this crucial
information within it.

It seems from searching this group, I'm not the only person who
perceives jQuery methods to provide additional functionality above
JavaScript, but to still allow access to the simple properties we are
all familiar with. If this is not the case, and it doesn't seem to be,
these and other syntax 'shortcuts' really should be documented and
very obviously at that, shouldn't they?

I can access the wiki and I'm happy to add this information though I
am not convinced I have a complete 'handle' on it.

[jQuery] Re: Documentation on $('#foo')[0] or $('#foo').get(0) ??

[pd]

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses.

Firstly, everyone is assuming I am referring to an array. Not
necessarily the case. In fact in a legit XHTML 1.0 Strict document an
id is supposed to be unique is it not? My example used the # to refer
to a unique id on the page, therefore *not* an array of objects.

Secondly my question is, in part, not so much about the worth, speed,
friendliness of this code, but whether it's clearly documented.

Perhaps I am merely experiencing the simplicity of jQuery's design and
expecting it to extend further than it can? Perhaps not.

I don't understand (and I am more than willing to suggest it might be
my lack of understanding here that is the issue) why Example A (below)
and Example B (more efficient but same example) should work, but
Example C does not.

Example A

document.getElementById('foo').selectedIndex;
document.getElementById('foo').nodeName;
document.getElementById('foo').className;
document.getElementById('foo').nodeType;
document.getElementById('foo').blahProperty;
document.getElementById('foo').exampleProperty;

Example B

var fooObject = document.getElementById('foo');

fooObject.selectedIndex;
fooObject.nodeName;
fooObject.className;
fooObject.nodeType;
fooObject.blahProperty;
fooObject.exampleProperty;

Example C

$('#foo').selectedIndex;
$('#foo').nodeName;
$('#foo').className;
$('#foo').nodeType;
$('#foo').blahProperty;
$('#foo').exampleProperty;

Please don't jump on the properties I've picked, they are just taken
from Firebug and merely illustrative.

AFAIK all three examples get an element on the page as a *single* (not
an array) object.

I think it's reasonable (though perhaps not programmatically correct)
to see $('#foo') as the equivalent of document.getElementById('foo').
If this is not true in jQuery, which it does not appear to be, all I
am saying is this distinction should be clearly documented.

In an ideal world, I think it would rock to have a syntax like this:

$('#foo').anyProperty;  // for normal 'old school' DOM properties
$('#foo').jQueryMethod(); // for jQuery methods

However I'm not pretending to know the level of JS that the great Mr
John Resig knows. If the ideal world syntax is not possible or if
people don't like it, fair enough. Again my point is that there may be
a need for this topic to be documented, that's all I'm saying.
Personally I'll probably never forget again after this experience!

 pd, just to help clarify... The $() function returns an array of DOM
 elements. You access elements of an array, of course, by using [n].

 I don't know if I would call this an annoying problem, it's just the way
 it is.

 Imagine this code:

var myArray = [
   document.getElementById('foo'),
   document.getElementById('goo')
];

 Now you have an array of two elements, [0] and [1], and each element is a
 reference to a DOM element.

 If you want the first element of the array, you would use:

myArray[0]

 And you could access DOM properties with:

alert( myArray[0].id );  // alerts 'foo'

 Or you could do:

var firstElement = myArray[0];
alert( firstElement.id );  // alerts 'foo'

 What you couldn't do:

   alert( myArray.id );  // alerts undefined

 After all, myArray is not a DOM element, it's an *array* of DOM elements.

 A jQuery object returned by $() is no different. Whenever you see $(), think
 array of DOM elements.

 (Well, it is slightly different - it is not an actual JavaScript Array
 object, but it does have .length and [n] properties so it works like an
 array for these purposes.)

[jQuery] Re: Documentation on $('#foo')[0] or $('#foo').get(0) ??

[pd]

Futher to this overall topic Eric, do you think it would be possible/
wise to implement a jQuery method that returns any of the standard DOM
properties? I'm just wishlisting but I think this syntax (each line a
different example property):

$('#foo').dom('className');
$('#foo').dom('size');
$('#foo').dom('type');

would be very intuitive for developers and very consistent with the
rest of the jQuery library.

It seems more intuitive and consistent than:

$('#foo')[0].className;
$('#foo')[0].size;
$('#foo')[0].type;

to me, though maybe the method name of dom() is not the most clear and
or explicit. It is short though :)

[jQuery] use of this in jQuery selectors

Hi All

Can someone clarify the use of the JavaScript keyword

this

in a jQuery context?

I find it strange that the following code doesn't work

$(this + '.requiredField')

but this does

$(this.id + '.requiredField')

even when the object calling the code does not have an id attribute!

objects with blah class name ?

[jQuery] Iteration through multiple class attribute values

I'm trying to iterate through a DOM object's class values to develop

spaces. Therefore this doesn't really work:

var fieldClasses = parsedInField.className;

or

var fieldClasses = $(parsedInField).attr('class');



$.each( fieldClasses ,

   function (count, clarse) {

 if (clarse == 'alphanum') {

   // blah

 } else if (clarse == 'numeric') {

   // blah

 }

   }

 ContextMenu is a lightweight jQuery plugin that lets you selectively

 You can download it here:http://www.trendskitchens.co.nz/jquery/contextmenu/

 ContextMenu is now truly context-sensitive, allowing you to enable/
 disable individual items depending on the context, or you can choose
 dynamically to hide the menu.

 Changes in this version:
   *  $.contextMenu.defaults() now works correctly
   *  onContextMenu, onShowMenu callbacks added (thanks Dan G. Switzer,
 II)
   *  drop shadow!

 Plus a few other changes and bug-fixes. 
 Seehttp://www.trendskitchens.co.nz/jquery/contextmenu/

 r3 is currently in the works with support for nested menus, a much
 requested feature :)

 As always comments/bug reports are much appreciated!

 http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/

 Note, this is currently in beta and may be a little rough around the edges 
 but I'd love to get some feedback. I've tested in FF2, IE6 and Opera 9 but it 
 would be good to know if it works in other browsers (particulaly Safari). 
 Plus any other feedback on extra stuff you'd like adding or bugs you discover,

 Cheers,

[jQuery] Re: Help Test jQuery 1.1.3

[pd]

I've tested it and zebra striping is fine, mouseover/out highlighting
is fine, getJSON is still fine as well.

Tested with Fx 2.0.0.3, IE7 and IE6 (SP2) on Windows XP.

 Hi Everyone -

 A test build of the upcoming 1.1.3 release is ready for everyone to
 try. We need to be super-sure that there haven't been any regressions
 in this release, and in order to do that we'd like you to download
 this alpha release and try it in place of jQuery 1.1.2 (wherever you
 may be using it).

 Download the test release:
  * jQuery 1.1.3a (Uncompressed, Test Release)
http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.1.3a.js

 Here's what you can do to help:

1. Download the test release of jQuery 1.1.3
2. Temporarily replace your copy of jQuery 1.1.2 with this test
 release in some of your web pages
3. If something is now broken, please submit a ticket letting us
 know what happened. The more specific you can be, the better (demos or
 test cases are highly desired).
http://dev.jquery.com/newticket

 Note: Pay special attention to Events, Selectors, and Animations;
 significant changes happened in all three of those areas, so if
 there's any place where a regression is possible, it would be more
 likely to occur in there.

 Once we're confident that there's no new bugs, we'll be releasing
 jQuery 1.1.3 fully (hopefully some time this week).

 Thanks everyone!

[jQuery] Re: .ready() unreliable due to IE6 inconsistencies?

[pd]

Hi John

Firstly due recognition: **bowing down to the master** :) jQuery is
like gold, sensational, thank you.

Re jQuery Flash yes two very specific reasons, one of which I raised
in the dev list after the flash plugin author suggested it seemed to
be overlooked.

That is the ActiveX issue with the jQuery packed version. As referred
to on the jQuery Flash plugin page.

Secondly it doesn't seem that the jQuery Flash plugin is as good as
swfobject at detecting Flash. Despite specifying silent degradation I
was getting if your browser doesn't support ... override ... text
displaying in IE7.

My install of IE7 is possibly flaky (beyond the default flakes built
in by MS :) ) though so I'm really not sure what is going on.

I'd be happy to test any tweaks to the jQuery Flash plugin if anyone
would like me to.

Regarding using script tags in the body of a document, I agree it's
not ideal. In the end instantiating swfobject with script tags at the
end of the document body worked though. Perhaps this is an indication
of what you suggested regarding .ready() being a different (more
tolerant?) beast now than in June 2006.

Thanks for your time

 There's more to the story than this, however. The jQuery ready()
 implementation was very very different in June of 2006 (hence the
 problems with script elements). I think the reason why Swfobject
 causes problems is that it's not coded very well - hence the reason
 for a jQuery Flash plugin. Is there any specific reason that you're
 choosing not to use it?

  Hi Sam

  Thanks for your offer of help.

  Thankfully my colleague and I have solved the nightmare.

  We recently abandoned the jQuery Flash plugin and implemented
  swfobject instead. Thanks to luckily searching and finding a thread
  on .ready() issues and from June 2006 I noticed script tags in the
  body were suspected to cause issues with jQuery's .ready() method.

  The solution? Instantiating swfobject after the last body element, not
  immediately after the element it is trying to replace.

  Moral of the story? Beware when mixing jQuery .ready() and script
  tags in the body of your document.

   opera is useful debugging ie issues (I think suggested by someone on this

Hello

The following site uses progressive enhancement to zebra style

In IE6 on Windows XP this URL:

loads zebra striping (on the second table), centre aligns text in

   http://devel.wynlearn.net.au/style/default.css

JS file containing $(document).ready() code:

I have swfobject onloading the top right Flash animation where clients
have Flash 8 or higher. Hence if swfobject can reliably behave onload,
it seems the symptoms are jQuery related.

Can anyone please help?

[jQuery] Re: Selectors: x td in all rows of a table

[pd]

Hi Karl

That's excellent, works a treat, thanks!

I tried :eq(0) and :nth(0) Selects the Nth element from the matched
element set

from

http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors#Custom_Selectors_2

without luck.

I thought it was possible though and of course the simple nth-child
does the trick. I was close with :nth haha.

I'm surprised both textAlign and text-align work as .css() properties.
That is really developer friendly, sensational.

jQuery is the best thing since sliced bread. Mr Resig and colleagues
are gods!

[jQuery] Re: Selectors: x td in all rows of a table

[pd]

Ah, one problem Karl. Thanks again for your help though there's just
one thing that I don't really understand.

I was attempting to use such a selector in a site-wide $
(document).ready() context. Hence this applies to all tables which is
problematic.

Hence initially I was attempting the equivalent (using your example)
of:

$('.relevantTableClass td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');

and I've tried this again just now but it fails.

Should a similar syntax be possible?

The following works:

$('#relevantTableId td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');

however a class-based solution would work better for me. Is this
possible?

Thanks
pd

 If I understand your situation correctly, you might be looking

 You could, for example, get the 2nd cell of each row this way:
 $('td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');

 Remember that nth-child() is the only jQuery selector that is 1-
 based, because it's based solely on the CSS spec.

Rather strange but all is well that ends well.

 I put together a simple test page using your code: $('.relevantTableClass

 and it works for me as expected:http://test.learningjquery.com/nth-child.html

 Let me know if that helps you pinpoint any differences in your code
