[jQuery] Re: not defined error using instance variable in each callback

2008-10-06 Thread marty

Thanks very much for the reply!

That was a big help!

I was missing the fact that this inside the loop is not the same as
this outside the loop.

Your suggestion really helped!

Regards,
Marty

 see if

 this.children.each( function() {

 (this).text() );

 } );

 works... although i will note that is just a shot in the dark without
 seeing more of your script

Hi Mike,

You're right, I want to be able to use this.rowTextArray later on.

You're code suggestion works great!

Thanks so much for the help!!

Marty

 Another problem is the misuse of push - it's a method, not a property you
 can store into. (You *can* store into the push property - as the code does
 successfully, but what that does is replace the normal push method with
 your data!)

 Marty, I assume that the purpose of the second example is so you'll have
 this.rowTextArray available for use elsewhere in your code, is that right?

 Then try this (pun intended):

     // build an array of text on the line
     var rowTextArray = this.rowTextArray = [];

     // add text into array
     this.$children.each( function() {
         rowTextArray.push( encodeURIComponent( $(this).text() ) );
     });

 Note the correct use of .push, and also the optional (but nicer) use of []
 instead of new Array().

 I also took the liberty of renaming the children property $children, a
 naming convention I highly recommend (and you'll see in much jQuery code)
 when you have a variable or property containing a jQuery object as I assume
 this.children does.

[jQuery] Re: $ Not defined

2008-08-28 Thread Mike Alsup

 I am having trouble with the $ not defined error and after reading
 Karl's response (http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/
 browse_thread/thread/17dab2899c5cfc18/7312dc68c84d93af?lnk=gstq=%24+is
 +not+defined#7312dc68c84d93af) I have assured myself that it is in
 fact NOT loading my local copy of the jquery file.

 I have tried placing it in the same directory as the calling file, my
 js directory, all diff places.   I renamed the download file to
 jquery126.js and did the following...

 script type=text/javascript src=js/jquery126.js/script
 script type=text/javascript src=js/global.js/script

 Oddly enough when using firebug - I can confirm that the jquery file
 is giving me a 404  - yet the global.js file is being served just
 fine.  They are both located in the same placve, I have confirmed the
 file spelling etc.  I even tried using the Dreamweaver code hints to
 help me browse for and select the correct file.

 Yet the only file that will not wok is my jquery file.

 Any ideas anyone?


What type of webserver are you using?  Sometimes webapps need to be
bounced when deployed into app servers like WebSphere in order to
redeploy static resources.

[jQuery] Re: $ Not defined

2008-08-28 Thread Chris Jordan
I had a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be a permissions
issue with just the jquery source file. Fixed the permissions problem, and
the file started getting included properly.

Have you looked at a possible permissions issue?

We get this question a lot. jQuery returns the DOM in an array like fashion.
This is standard:
if($(div).length) ...
or sometimes:
var div = $(div)[0];
if(div) ...
