[jQuery] Animation glitch in Innerfade

2007-12-13 Thread withoutwax

Hi All,

I have created a fading rotating section on my new travel site which
is designed to cycle through a number of special offers.

When the page loads it created 3 ul which innerfade works on
perfectly.

Visitors to the site are able to view more info on hotels which
removes the special offer content and replaces it with hotel
information using ajax. If they then click the Back to specials
button the reverse happens, with the hotel info dissapearing and being
replaced by the special offer content appended using ajax. (this is
all as designed)

This is where the problem strikes - the animation on the content
flicks back and forth between the different special offers before
settling on the correct one. Does anyone know why this happens on the
ajax appended content?

Because this is a pre-production site I really can't publish the url
here however I will happily email it to anyone privately.

I hope I have explained my probelm sufficiently for someone to know
what on earth I am going on about :)

Andy,

Thanks for your comments - the same thing has been happening to me - I
will need to examine the order I call the fade() and $.ajax functions.

 Okay...

 I played around with the site for a few minutes and it works really well.
 I'm using IE7/PC and I noticed a few things that don't look quite right:

 Anytime the far right sidebar changes content here's what happens:

 1) Existing content fades out
 2) Existing content fades back in for about a half second
 3) New content suddenly appears.

 It seems like you've got something out of order in your code as the center
 column works flawlessly. All in all this appears to be a great site and
 makes me wish I was in Europe right now riding the rails.

 I get a page not found when I click the link:http://www.trainbreaks.com/

 Is that the right one?

 Thanks Mike, I think there are still a few issues to work out with regard to
 cross browser compatibility. Hopefully I will get some more feedback form
 our Mac/Safari and Opera users this week.

 I am also going to be working on improving the site's ability to degrade
 gracfully when javascript is turned off. I can see this being quite a
 challenge.

[jQuery] Re: datePicker v2 beta

2007-04-27 Thread withoutwax

Wow absolutely fantastic!

I played around with the previous version on a travel website I was
developing but found it just wasn't quite right. But this new version
looks awesome.

It works perfectly in IE7 - any news on backwards compatability with
IE6 for example?

Also - how difficult would it be to link the two datepicker example to
a length input/select, to track nights for example?

Anyway thanks for all your hard work developing this.

Ben

 Hi,

 I'd like to announce the beta release of v2 of my datePicker plugin for 
 jQuery. This release is a complete rewrite which makes the date picker 
 considerably more powerful and flexible than it previously was. Check out the 
 temporary project page:

 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,

 Kelvin :)

[jQuery] New Travel Site using jquery

2007-04-25 Thread withoutwax

Hi everyone,

I have just released my first site using jquery and in particular
jquery's ajax functions. The concept is to provide a one page
application and improve the user experience.

It only launched today (as always there are a few teething problems)
but I would love to hear your comments.

Regards Ben

No luck with Firebug - didnt show anything up.

I can provide you with a link to the code via a private email message
if you have the time to assist me, I just can't post it here just yet,
would that be possible?
Any solutions I of course will post back here.

Ok, I have got permission to post code snippets - sorry for the

This is called:
---
function showsp()
{
$(#info).empty();
$.get(https://www.site.com/2007/php/ajaxsp.php;, { rid: $
(input#routeselect).attr(value)},
 function(data){
$(#info).append(data);
});
$('#info').fadeIn('slow');

 Often the core javascript would help diagnose the issue.

 The top most suggestion in my mind is that you remove said
 'funkyness' (remove all effects / animation)
 applied by jquery. Double check what your server is returning to the
 client using firebug (your ajax requests)

 Good luck.

2007-04-18 Thread withoutwax

THhanks for all your help guys -

I have searched through line by line and found the real problem was
IE6 couldnt apply changes to the DOM so quickly, so I used the pause
plugin and applied that strategically and it has solved the problems.
The site works a treat in all major browsers now.

 No it isn't. Could you post what the 'data' is? I assume #info is a div?

  is this is a well known problem - i.e. are there standard work arounds

   To me it sounds like it is most likley style / animation based,
   however you may find that you will be successful using a process of
   elimination.
