Re: jQuery $.get callback function not being called

2009-11-08T17:16:06Z

I tried echo json_encode($tweets);
and still no callback function. The XMLhttp response header looks like
this:

Date Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:57:25 GMT
Content-Type text/html
Connection close
Server Apache
X-Powered-By PHP/5.2.1
Expires Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-
check=0
Pragma no-cache
Content-Length 20283

Is the Cache-Control setting of no-store, no-cache a possible problem?

Instantiating a chart in a dynamically-added div

2009-11-08T16:55:30Z

Hi there,

I've got a page that has navigation tabs, with each tab linked to a
specific div (divs made visible by the click of the tab).

The divs themselves are populated by load statements - a PHP file is
fed an input code, and returns an HTML stream which then gets plonked
in the div. Each time the code input changes, each div's PHP scripts
is run in turn and all 5 divs are repopulated with content pertaining
to the new input code.

One of the divs has a child div that contains a SWF; at present the
entire structure works exactly as I want, but the SWF is slow and fat
(as SWFs are). I want to replace the SWF with a jqplot element.

The problem is that there is no 'click' event (or other event) that
can be used to trigger a 'live' instantiation of jqplot on this
(dynamically-populated) child div. Once the PHP script has run, it's
just 'there'. My attempts to get the jqplot element to insert itself
have been pathetic, to say the least.

So the following code is in my footer (after the script tag for
jquery): as you can see, all I am trying to do at this stage is target
the #chart1 and #chart2 divs (both which are added within the content
populated into #summDiv when /includes/StockFullSum.php is run).

If I put a breakpoint within doTheChart(), the breakpoint triggers (so
the function is being activated) but nothing happens to either #chart
div. Furthermore, the breakpoint occurs before #summDiv is populated
(evidenced by the fact that loading.gif is still displaying).

There is something I'm missing - it's clear that doTheChart has to be
delayed until AFTER #summDiv's content is fully loaded: how can that
be achieved? More to the point, why don't I get an error telling me
that I'm trying to do stuff to an elements that doesn't exist (yet)?

Re: Superfish: CSS to change the color of text on hover

2009-11-08T16:30:20Z

can add

Hello,

I have a superfish menu where I'd like to have the color of the text

to change and stay changed when I hover over the menu item and its
submenus.

The bit of CSS that makes this work for changing the background color
is this:
.sf-menu li:hover, .sf-menu li.sfHover,
.sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover, .sf-menu a:active {
	background:		#CFDEFF;
	outline:		0;
}

but setting the color here only changes the color of the single item
hovered over - so the submenu item, but not the parent menu item when
I hover over a submenu.

Not really a jQuery problem I know, but I'm hoping someone here can
help.

Beginners question: how to set width on an element

2009-11-08T16:18:22Z

I want to read the body width when a page loads and set an element's
width to the same width. The reason I want to do this is that the page
is generated programmatically. Alternatively I can have the program
set the width value to a constant but in any case, I believe I need to
do this when the page is loaded versus a CSS file that is not created
by the form generator.

Here is what I have tried:

<style type="text/css">
body
{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 430px;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/JavaScript/
jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.AspNet-Menu").width() = $("body").width();
});
</script>

Note: my program that creates the page sets the body width. So I could
replace the code with
$("ul.AspNet-Menu").width() = "430px";

Would it be possible to have a section on your website where examples

css based on url wildcard

Just wondering if there is a way with jQuery of adding css to an id

'BlogRetrieve.aspx' add .class to this #id.

Append Help

2009-11-08T13:59:35Z

I have a div that I want to add new content to after the div closes

<div id="original">original content here </div>

<div id="something_new> new content here </div>

So the new content I am adding gets inserted after the original div.

I tried:

$(response).fadeIn('slow').appendTo('#original');
$(response).fadeIn('slow').append('#original');
$(response).fadeIn('slow').prependTo('#original');
$(response).fadeIn('slow').after('#original');

But its always ending up inside
<div id="original">original content here
<div id="something_new>new content here</div>
</div>

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Re: Function to bind itself to some element

2009-11-08T13:54:14Z

I have found the solution (and it is somewhat based on Qamal's suggestion for assigning. thanks Qamal!)

Solution is to declare variable for new function, nested inside "main one" and to bind that one as event handler. Also to add call to that nested function when "main one" is called.

jQuery.dataTableHandler = function(param1, param2, param3) {

var dataTableHandlerFunction = function(param1, param2, param3) {
$.ajax({
method: "post",
data: ({newparam1: param1, newparam2: param3}),
urL: "../somepath",
success: function(returnedData) {
$("someDiv1").html(returnedData);
},
complete: function(xhr, status) {
$.("someDiv2").bind("click", function(e) {
dataTableHandlerFunction(param1, param2+1, param3) ; <!-- here is the problem
});
}
});
}

//main executes
dataTableHandlerFunction(param1, param2, param3);
}

Problems with Jquery 1.3 and Google web optimizer?

2009-11-08T13:30:53Z

Hi,

When migrating to JQ 1.3.2, we seem to have found an issue with our
Google Web Optimizer (GWO) experiments.

there seems to be a race hazard of some kind before GWO redirects to
an alternate page version.

The error is along the lines of "document.body does not exist"... when
we roll back to JQ 1.2 the error dissapears.

Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Thanks in advance,

Well, if you have the plugin working, then you obviously have the
server side coding complete.. you'd simply add this "Add New" to the
end of these results on the server

Re: Function to bind itself to some element

2009-11-08T12:24:40Z

Yes, I have tried (and now again) and I still keep getting the same message.
Can the problem be something about order inside .js file? That the function is not properly declared?
The first message I have posted contains full content of my .js file.

you can try initializing the variable firsthand...

jquery.dataTableHandler = function() {};

or something... then assign the function, but i doubt thats necessary

Firefox/Webkit differences from position()

2009-11-08T11:34:51Z

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to jQuery.

The navigation numbers at the top of this page are highlighted when
clicked:

http://carillontech.org/vademecum/

The problem is that the blue highlighting box is positioned 7px higher
in the Webkit browsers. Short of writing different instructions in
the JS for each browser, is there anything I'm doing wrong that is
responsible for this? I'm guessing that the different browsers read
different coordinates from position(). Using <span>s instead of
<div>s for the navigation numbers and carets gives a different result,
also inconsistent between browsers.

I haven't even looked at it in IE yet, and am a little terrified to.

Thanks!!

Re: simple question regarding trigger jquery events with non-jquery code

2009-11-08T11:23:39Z

I'm not sure I get what you need but if you need to use jQuery from another script you can as long as you're placing that other script after you've loaded jQuery. Then again, of course, this other script should give you an opportunity to run the callback somewhere. As long as jQuery() is declared in the same context there should be no problem.

2009/11/8 jQueryNoobzor <warkorea@...>

Thank you but the problem is that it's not an event detectable by jquery as
far as I know. It's an event that I have a script for and it triggers when
the mouse moves towards a tab or the close window, but NOT when it moves to
the left, right or bottom of the browser's viewable area.

So I just need to 'execute' a jquery event ( the .click) from a non-jquery
piece of code.

Sorry for making it sound complicated :(

Re: Re: jQuery $.get callback function not being called

2009-11-08T11:14:51Z

Well the doc suggests that json_encode doesn't change the variable passed as a parameter but returns the encoded string so you've got to do something like this :
echo json_encode($tweets);

To get a jason encoded serialisation of your data output in the response and not :
json_encode($tweets);
echo $tweets;

Which would only output $tweets not encoded.

Though if it doesn't work like I tell you, you'd better worry about something else and I don't know exactly what at this point.

Re: Superfish CSS questio

2009-11-08T10:33:48Z

Haven't looked closely at the css but just wanted to point out one
thing. The order in which items appear in the style sheet is only one
piece of the puzzle as to what is applied. Specificity is the
larger. You can actually assign a numerical value to a selector to
decide if it is more specific than another and hence will have its
rule applied. For example take these three selections applied to this
code.

a href class="anyclass" id="anyid" .......

#anyid {background: orange;}
a {background: yellow;}
a.anyclass {background: red;}

all of these css rules select the same a element and even though the
red background appears last in the list the one that will be applied
is the orange.

Heres how it works.

An ID is given a rating or specific value of 100
A class 10
an element 1

you can add up the numbers in any css rule to see which is more
specific and will be applied. in our preceding example

orange = 100
yellow = 1
red = 11

Hope that helps somewhat. And by the way if two have the same value
the last one to appear in the stylesheet will be the rule that
applies.

Thanks Karl. Turns out both worked for me, but I had placed the return

Re: How to determine number of elements after dom manipulation ?

2009-11-08T10:18:56Z

You'll have to do it within the success callback:

function dataloader(location,service,div){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "includes/data.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {

$(xml).find('group').each(function(){
if($(this).attr("name") == service) {
$(this).find("Service").each(function(){
var type = $(this).find("Type").text()
var host = $(this).find("Host").text()
var name = $(this).find("Name").text()
var site = $(this).find("Site").text()

if(type == "Host" && site == location){
$('<img src="images/server.jpg" title="'+ host +'" /
>').appendTo('#'+div);
}
});
}
});
alert($('#' + div).find('img').length); // <-- should give you
correct number here
}
});
}

Re: How to determine number of elements after dom manipulation ?

2009-11-08T10:13:50Z

where did you exactly call 'alert($('img').size())'? inside the callback function? remember ajax is asynchronous, if you're calling it after calling dataloader() the ajax mat not return yet and your images aren't yet in the DOM.

In the meantime, I changed the wording on that page.

Both of the following will work:
1)
return this.each(function() { /* do something */ });
2)
this.each(function() { /* do something */ });
return this;

Autocomplete - Is there a way?

2009-11-08T08:19:32Z

I'm using Autocomplete in a search field to reference and load a
record from a database ... it's working perfectly, thank-you for
making this UI concept so easy to accomplish ...

Is there a way to have a "special item" return in the autocomplete
list regardless of what the user types ... In other words something
like ...

Imagine a Movie database -- with a UI that allows you to type the
movie name in an autocomplete enabled text area ... as you type the
name ... possible matches are displayed and available for selection
(so far, exactly as you would expect autocomplete to work) ... but as
you type, and the list continuously narrows, the user finds that the
movie is not in the list ...

What I'm trying to figure out how to do - is to have an "Add New"
option in the Autocomplete list that shows (at the top or bottom of
the autocomplete list) as a selectable option, regardless of what the
user is searching for.

I can obviously have an "Add New" option when the user types an
"a" ... what I would like is for the "Add New" selectable option to
show up in all circumstances.

Thanks again,
Chip
