[jQuery] Re: Simple one: difference between varXy.find(':text') and $(varXy).find(':text')
Rick, as far as I can tell there is something wrong with two of the
code examples you provided.
var mySet = '$(mySet)'; ...this sets the mySet variable to a string
that *looks* like a jQuery selector, but your quotes make it into a
useless string.
$('mySet').find(':text')......this selector looks for a mySet
HTML object (which does not exist), again, because of the way you have
the quotes. It doesn't use the mySet variable reference at all.
To answer GGerri's question..
var mySet = $('trtd:nth-child(2n)'); ...assigns a jQuery object to
the mySet variable.
mySet.find(':text') ...takes your jQuery object applies find() to
it.
$(mySet).find(':text') ...takes your jQuery object, runs it through
the jQuery selector engine again, applies find().
Both ways work okay, but the 2nd way isn't the best because running a
jQuery object through the selector engine again serves no purpose that
I'm aware of. Normally you'd use the 2nd example only if mySet was a
DOM object reference, not a jQuery object reference.
Regarding GGerri's question about the this variable - in jQuery,
this refers to a DOM object so you always need to wrap it with the
jQuery $(...) selector if you're going to use jQuery methods on it.
A useful variable naming convention I've seen is to prefix any jQuery
object variables with a dollar sign. It's an easy reminder that the
variable is already a jQuery object. In other words:
var $mySet = $('div h1 a'); $mySet becomes a jQuery object
$mySet.show(300,function() {
$(this).fadeIn(); ...this is a DOM object, so you need to wrap it
with the jQuery selector
});
Hope that helps!

[jQuery] Re: $.browser and jQuery 1.3
Just adding my $0.02 about why browser sniffing should be discouraged
but never completely deprecated -
I use browser sniffing to redefine the fadeIn/fadeOut effects to
slideDown/slideUp for IE7, because of the ClearType issue. It's a case
where the effect _works_, so I can't use feature detection, but since
the opacity animation effects look awful, it's not realistic to use
those effects in IE7. As far as I can tell, it's a case where browser
sniffing is still the best option.
if ($.browser.msie) {
jQuery.fn.fadeOut = jQuery.fn.slideUp;
jQuery.fn.fadeIn = jQuery.fn.slideDown;
}
(I know I *should* be testing for IE version ... but then again it
wouldn't surprise me at all if the ClearType problem persists in IE8)

[jQuery] Re: How to queue up ajax requests?
partner[etc], Currently, when the pan ends, an onEnd event is fired, which then fires off the ajax. So what you're suggesting is that i queue the pan onEnd events? Nope, I think. Back to your pan-pan-pan-pan-pan situation, doing what you suggest would still fire 5 times (onEnd fires after each individual pan) correct? What Shawn actually suggested (and from your reply, sounds like you may not have understood) was to delay executing your ajax request until a setTimeout timer expires. If another pan event happens during the timeout period, you reset the timeout start the timer over. So, that's not a queue. The beauty with the timer is you don't flood the server with useless requests. I've used the timeout trick for ajax requests triggered by hover events on table rows. Same situation as yours - it only makes sense to do the ajax request when the user takes a 200ms (or whatever you think is appropriate) break. If you appreciate good UI design, throw a loading indicator up immediately (during the timeout period) to indicate to the user that something is happening. If you are worried about your ajax response taking longer than 200ms or whatever you use for the timer delay, then you'll need the ajax request queue solution too of course, but judging from your discussion, the timeout method will take care of 99% of the problem it's more direct fix for the problem as you described it. -Wick http://www.CarComplants.com On Jul 16, 9:47 pm, partner56290674 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I suppose shawn we can just agree to disagree because your comments about it's application specific, IMO, is completly misguided in this topic.

[jQuery] Re: Select option value
To answer your question as far as what is _wrong_ with your code -
AFAIK, you can't mix an object reference (variable) a text string
within a single jQuery selector parameter. You have the right idea
though. Modifying what you had just a little will work:
var spName = $(option:selected,current).val();
.. which matches option:selected within the context of your
current object reference. Using that second selector parameter is a
good idea whenever you have a this object reference available where
you're selecting children of that object... it cuts down the amount of
work jQuery has to do.
What Michael Geary suggested definitely works fine with all modern
browsers. A lot of developers I know still prefer to use the old-
school method of getting the value of the selected option though, for
no very good reason anymore except habit.

[jQuery] Re: Get input value from a loaded page
Do you have an example page? As ferdjuan mentioned, the usual issue is
with the timing - i.e. your hidden input #counter its value aren't
available until to the parent page until after your ajax .load()
finishes up.
In terms of troubleshooting, you don't need to echo your php variable
because you can easily see it's being set - view the HTML source. As
long as you see it there, your hidden input value is being passed via
ajax along with all the rest of the HTML code.
I'd start by alerting $('#counter').length from the parent page, see
if it's matching any elements. Remember timing is an issue so for any
troubleshooting, you'd also have to use .load()'s callback function or
make a test function that runs when you click a link (so you can run
it AFTER you see your ajax page finish loading).
Hope that helps! Again, I'd suggest you put up a quick test page if
you still need help. Good luck,

[jQuery] Re: better examples for UI DatePicker?
Hi Marc - I couldn't agree more, the functionality range of options for DatePicker is incredible, especially considering how complicated a calendar app is. I should have mentioned that in my first post. Ironically in looking around for other DatePicker styles, I ran across your blog entry about Google using DatePicker UI saw you wrote, I think the simple skin provides an easy way to adopt the datepicker's look and feel into web applications, but I think that we need new skins for the datepicker. If anyone wants to contribute designs please let me know. Amen :) With so many features, it seems odd to me that there isn't some sort of style library or at least more polished skins available - that's the only area I can think of where DatePicker is lagging. Thinking out loud, would you consider having a design competition, similar to what happened with the jQuery logo? It could be a nice way to involve the community of people using DatePicker. What I meant by detrimental to DatePicker's success is with better skins available, I think DatePicker would appeal more to folks looking for a drop-in solution - mainly beginners anyone short on time - I imagine that's a fairly wide segment of potential DatePicker users especially now that jQuery is mainstream. Thanks for the reply the great plugin. -Wick http://www.CarComplaints.com On Apr 3, 10:57 am, 1Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wick, I made that default skin and there is no offense taken.

[jQuery] Re: still confused, but a little more organised
Hey Cherry, I like the new page layout! I have one comment about your
Methods: $().append section that I thought might be confusing to
people. It's just a technicality.
You write, I wanted to replace my h1 heading with an image. But,
using .append() does not literally replace your h1 heading text,
rather, it adds on (yes, appends!) to anything contained in your h1
tag. Using the .append() code in your example, you end up with:
h1 insnoscriptHeader Text/noscript/insimg . //h1
.. which works fine, but as you can see technically your header text
isn't replaced. It's been appended onto.
Another more straightforward way to accomplish what you're after is
this HTML:
h1Header Text/h1
.. and this Javascript:
$('h1').html('img . /');
.. This way your Header Text is replaced by the image. The .html()
method replaces anything inside the selected tags. This way is
validation-friendly and degrades gracefully if someone has Javascript
disabled. For more information on other similar DOM manipulation
methods, see this link - there's a bunch:

[jQuery] Re: yet another beginner's diary (pls review!)
Hi Cherry - I enjoyed reading your blog. It's especially interesting
informative to read what issues jQuery newcomers come across.
One issue that it seemed you may not have grasped is when to escape
characters. This isn't something specific to jQuery - it's actually a
Javascript-wide issue, but you run across it a lot with jQuery.
It's simple once you realize what's going on: You only need to escape
characters within data when they are the same as the character you're
using to surround (define) the data. Basically you are preventing
Javascript from being confused about the start end of the data.
Simplifying the replace text with an image example in your blog a
bit:
$('h1').append('..');
...Here you are using single quotes to define the parameter data for
append, so you only need to escape any single quotes that are within
your parameter data. There are none, so it's not necessary to escape
anything. For consistency's sake, in your example the double quote
after fullinfo.html is missing a backslash. But, it doesn't matter
since again for that example, you don't need to escape double quotes
at all.
You've inadvertently discovered this: it's a great idea to use single
quotes to define the parameter data when using HTML code, since
usually you don't need to escape anything (unless there are single
quotes in your HTML). If you're defining a something like a sentence
containing single quotes, it's best to use double quotes to define it
since you don't have to escape the single quotes:
$('h1').append(Here's a sentence that's got some single
apostrophes.);
...again because I'm using double quotes to define the start/end of
the sentence, only double quotes within the sentence will cause
problems. There are none, so I'm all set.
Taking one more look at your example, I've changed the title to
contain some single quotes. Both of these examples will work, but I
prefer the 2nd one since there's a lot less escaping to be done.
$('h1').append(img src=\/images/headertext.gif\ alt=\alt text\
title=\Here's a great site. It's awesome.\ longdesc=\http://
something.com/fullinfo.html\ /);
$('h1').append('img src=/images/headertext.gif alt=alt text
title=Here\'s a great site. It\'s awesome. longdesc=http://
something.com/fullinfo.html /');
Hope that makes (more?) sense.

In FF2 - but not IE7 - the overflow property changes the box model behavior. As far as I can tell, the box model change caused by the overflow property is part of the CSS2 spec. It's a problem in this situation: - div A is floated left - div B is not floated has a left margin greater than the width of div A. - div B is animated using jQuery (show, hide, slideUp, slideDown etc) Test page here: http://www.carcomplaints.com/test/overflow.html Anyone know of a clean way around this issue? I'm tempted to apply overflow: hidden permanently to the affected elements ditch the left margin altogether, but it seems like there should be a better way. Pretty frustrating since the layout that causes the problem is simple common. Any suggestions?
[jQuery] Re: How to get an html page not knowing its address
Sounds like you're talking about cross-domain scripting which as
Richard mentioned, isn't possible with AJAX requests - the
jquery .load() command uses AJAX, so what Richard is saying is it's
simply not possible to use jQuery's .load() to access an html file on
a different domain. With AJAX, the file you access must be on the same
domain as the page that's trying to access it - that security
restriction is built into all modern web browsers.
There's another way to load information dynamically (not using AJAX)
from files hosted on other domains as long as they are javascript
code, but it sounds like you want something that can access files
containing html code.
The type of request you are are asking about is usually handled using
a server-side programming language. With server-side languages like
PHP or Perl etc you can easily make an HTTP request to any page on any
domain store/process the result.
With PHP I believe you'd use Curl:
http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2007/06/php_tip_how_get_web_page_using_curl
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
With Perl you'd use LWP:
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/08/20/perlandlwp.html
One way to accomplish your request is to make a server-side proxy
script. Basically here's how that works - your web page makes an AJAX
request to the proxy script, which in turn makes the cross-domain HTTP
request, then returns the result to your page via AJAX. AJAX works
for this because the proxy script is on the same server as your web
page. Keep in mind there are security implications about making a
proxy that accesses any page on any other domain - you'd probably want
to come up with a method so that your proxy script can only be
accessed by your web page. Here's an article about that method:

Hope that helps!

Ciao Richard,
thanks a lot, really.
It, clearly, works.
But, if I may ask you more, if I would to pass an address with the
same problem to a jQuery selector, what should I write?
Would it enough to create a variable and insert its name into the
selector?
Below it is an example:
var my_variable_name = '' + document.location.hostname + '/folder/
subfolder/file.html';
jQuery(my_variable_name).something;
Would it be right? That is just to learn.
Thanks anyway again for your help.

No need to provide the full URL, including the domain/server name. In fact,
there's a security restriction on Ajax that prevents fetching an html page
from a domain other than the current one, so you only need to specify a
relative url to load:
jQuery('#footer-navbar').load(/clients/clickadvisor-02/snippets/footer-
navbar.html);

I should have made progresses, I hope.
I saw that it would be better to use .load method to get some simple
pre-formatted html bunch of code.
But the problem is still there, I don't know how to pass as arguments
a domain address I am not able to know in advance.
So I tried with the code below, but it doesn't work:
function address() {
var website = document.location.hostname;
var snippet_address = '' + website +
'/clients/clickadvisor-02/
snippets/footer-navbar.html';
document.write(snippet_address);
}
jQuery('#footer-navbar').load(address(););
Any suggestion?

First of all I want to apologize with all devs out there for my
questions. I am sure that solution will be easy but I am just a
designer, so I am a moron with Javascript...
The problem is that I need to put some html code into a div (#footer-
navbar) getting the html code from a page of which I already know its
hierarchy (clients/clickadvisor-02/snippets/footer-navbar.html) but of
which I don't know its domain (http://www.I_DONT_KNOW_THIS.COM).
I tried to create a script with jQuery like this:
jQuery('#footer-navbar').html(function () {
jQuery.get(function () {
document.write('' + this.location.hostname + 'clients/
clickadvisor-02/snippets/footer-navbar.html')
});
});
Where do I make a mistake?
Thanks in advance to everyone.

I am making use of jQuery because of some incompatibilities with
other libraries.
[jQuery] Re: jQuery UI Datepicker v3.0 Released! (Previously named jQuery Calendar)
@Micha - If you look closer at popwincal the differences, I think it's a bit more complicated than that. I agree with Graeme - the thing I like best about popwincal is the simpler/slicker header area, mainly the fact that popwincal fits the important date controls onto one, clean thin control area. Granted some changes like the colors, images for next/prev removing the calendar borders is easy via CSS like you mentioned, and a few of the the other differences like 3-letter day abbreviations can be accomplished through Datepicker config options. However Popwincal does not use select boxes for the month year dropdowns which would make styling those items a lot more flexible. Also the way the Datepicker html is coded, there's a container div wrapped around the month/year section that also includes the calendar table, which makes it nearly impossible to cleanly arrange the prev/ next controls in the same horizontal area as the month/year control, like popwincal has. Some feature requests other comments: - a few config options for the positioning behavior would be great, to control: 1) where the calendar flys out (i.e. to the side of the trigger element rather than below) 2) enable/disable the auto- reposition based on available screen area. - a config option to turn off the day-of-the-week links. Neat feature but it seems to me like a lot of users would click on a day header by accident find the reorganized calendar confusing. Thanks for the plugin, awesome job.

[jQuery] Re: jQuery UI Datepicker v3.0 Released! (Previously named jQuery Calendar)
I was just looking through the code noticed my a config option to turn off the day-of-the-week links feature request is already implemented. Nice! I missed it in the option documentation.

[jQuery] Re: Catfish Advert Plugin
That bottom padding makes it so all the normal page content appears
above the catfish advert - in other words you can scroll to the bottom
of the normal page the content at the very end isn't covered up by
the ad - the padding goes behind the catfish ad.

Is this line really necessary:
$('html').css('padding', '0 0 ' + this.settings.height + 'px 0');
It seems as if it changes the padding of the whole page.
I also wonder what happens if the user doesn't support cookies. I think the
best solution would be
not to display the ad at all.

[jQuery] Re: Documentation on $('#foo')[0] or $('#foo').get(0) ??
It seems more intuitive and consistent than:
$('#foo')[0].className;
$('#foo')[0].size;
$('#foo')[0].type;
If you're repeatedly accessing the first DOM object of a jQuery
selector array, it's a good practice to set a variable:
var myObject = $('#foo')[0];
..then you can access DOM properties like you're used to doing, also
save the browser from the duplicate object lookups:
myObject.className
myObject.size
myObject.type
