I'm experimenting with adding Turbo to a Rails 6.1 app.
It seems to be loading (see "What I've tried"), but when clicking around the clicks does not seem to be intercepted. I'm still getting full page reloads.
Can anyone help me spot what is missing here?
What I've tried
Added an event handler with console.log() output that shows that the turbo:load is indeed getting triggered
Ensured Turbo.session.drive = true in application.js
Even tried adding data-turbo="true" to a <main> tag, but that seems to have made no difference. Perhaps not too surprising, given pt. 2.
Firefox and Chrome
Setup
// app/javascript/application.js
import { Turbo } from "#hotwired/turbo-rails"
Turbo.session.drive = true
# config/importmap.rb
pin 'application', preload: true
pin '#hotwired/turbo-rails', to: 'turbo.js'
// Debugging statement
document.addEventListener('turbo:load', function() {
console.log('turbo:load');
})
So I found out that the mere inclusion of the Google Analytics 4 script tag in <head> caused Turbo not to work:
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=<OUR ID>"/>
The reason? GA4's automatic outbound link click tracking, which we have enabled. There's a very recent Github issue about this. As mentioned in a comment:
"... seems like they call preventDefault on link-click events, even if
it's not an outbound click. Turbo then decides it's not a significant
event so allows the navigation to go ahead as normal"
I disabled this feature in GA4, and was good to go.

I am trying to add a yes/no message box to a google sheet that will display on an iPad. I have tried all the things below but none of them display the message. My goal is if the user changes a field the macro will change other fields if the user says it is ok. I can get this to work on a windows machine with no issues but when I try it on an ipad the message never appears. At this point I am just trying to get a message box to appear. This is what I have tried
1.
function onEdit(e) {
Browser.msgBox("test");
}
Result: The macros times out
2.
function onEdit(e) {
var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Page')
.setWidth(400)
.setHeight(300);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp or SlidesApp or FormApp.
.showModalDialog(html, 'My custom dialog');
}
Page.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
Hello, world! <input type="button" value="Close" onclick="google.script.host.close()" />
</body>
</html>
I enabled the trigger for onEdit to get it to work and it works on the windows machine without issues but when run on the iPad I get:
Exception: You do not have permission to call Ui.showModalDialog. Required permissions: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui
So next I tried:
3.
function myFunction(){
Logger.log("myFun")
var html = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile( 'Page' )
.evaluate()
.setWidth( 800 )
.setHeight( 400 );
SpreadsheetApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp or FormApp.
.showModalDialog( html, 'My page title' );
}
function onEdit(){
ScriptApp.newTrigger('myFunction')
.forSpreadsheet(SpreadsheetApp.getActive())
.onEdit()
.create();
}
Using the same page.html, this time in executions it looks like it runs but no box appears on the ipad(it does work on windows). I also tried spreadsheetApp.getUi().alert and prompt, these had the same results.
And Yes I have to use the iPad, I can not use another type of tablet.
Issue:
"Exception: You do not have permission to call Ui.showModalDialog. Required permissions: googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui"
Fix:
What you can do is installing the trigger instead of using a simple trigger. The image below shows the difference between an installed (above) and a simple (below) trigger using the same code.
Output:
Note:
Don't use reserved function names on installed triggers to avoid it being executed twice like what's shown above. Change onEdit to something like promptUI or something else.
If the above fix isn't enough to show the dialog box, then we need to confirm if the issue might just be on the safari browser (if you are using one) since it worked on your other devices which I assumed are not using safari. You can try using an alternative browser in your device such as Google Chrome and see if the same issue persists. I recommended doing this since i'm seeing a number of issues between showModalDialog and safari
EDIT:
I have seen these related posts pointing out that there are some limitations on mobile apps. See the references below.
Also, some answers suggests that you need to access the spreadsheet via browser (google chrome desktop mode) and then trigger the script there.

I'm having an issue with the page changes... In phonegap it works once and on chrome it doesn't work.
This is the code I use to load an external page in the dom and open it. After moving away it get's removed from dom.
function changeToMypage() {
$.mobile.loadPage('http://mydomain/mypage.html', {
prefetch: "true"
}).done(function() {
$.mobile.changePage('#mypageid');
});
}
$(document).on("pagehide", "#mypageid", function() {
$(this).remove();
});
On phonegap it works the first time I navigate to the external page but when I navigate to a local page and back to the external page it stops working.(Reloads the current page in stead)
In chrome it never works. It seems to try and load file://indexpage.html#mypageid in the changepage
but this doesn't work because I'm using single page navigation.
I don't understand how the pageload appends the mypage.html to the dom to navigate to it with the pageid?
Using jQuery.mobile.navigate() solved my problem but this is a low level api method according to the JQM docs. Maybe someone could give some extra information why it works with this method and not with changepage?
I have followed all the instructions to get the back button to appear but it's not working.
Here is what I'm following:
*The auto-generated Back button feature is off by default.
To activate auto generated back buttons on specific pages, simply add the data-add-back-btn="true" attribute on the page container and the magic will be back. To activate this globally, set the addBackBtn option in the page plugin to true. Here is an example of how to set this:
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {
$.mobile.page.prototype.options.addBackBtn = true;
});
Note: You must include this script before the jQuery Mobile library is referenced in the head of your page for this to work. The mobileinit event is triggered immediately upon execution, so you need to bind event handlers before jQuery Mobile is loaded. Learn more about setting global config options.*
I've also cleared the cache and I still don't get the back button...
I'm I missing something new?
OK I found the solution.
I've decided to post it here for anyone who might have the same problem.
The code must be instead in a specific order.
After the jquery library but before the jqm library...
Make sure that this snippet is AFTER jQuery library loads but BEFORE jQueryMobile library is loaded... so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {
$.mobile.page.prototype.options.addBackBtn = true;
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.mobile-1.0b1.js"></script>
Solution found here:

I have a few multiselect boxes from the Jquery UI on a page that work perfectly well in Chrome & Safari but not in Firefox for some reason... when I load the Error Console in Firefox I see:
Error: $.widget is not a function
Source File: http://localhost:3000/javascripts/jquery.multiselect.js?1302660373
Line: 563
Any ideas why?
edit: the line itself is within the open function right where it says "// react to option changes after initialization"
// open the menu
open: function(e){
var self = this,
button = this.button,
menu = this.menu,
speed = this.speed,
o = this.options;
widget: function(){
return this.menu;
},
// react to option changes after initialization
_setOption: function( key, value ){
var menu = this.menu;
switch(key){
case 'header':
menu.find('div.ui-multiselect-header')[ value ? 'show' : 'hide' ]();
I am assuming you are using the jQuery Multiselect plugin… which depends on jQuery UI.
Sounds like you have not included enough of the jQuery UI library or just none of it. You need to include the core parts of jQuery UI (including Widget) if you build a custom download. Or just download the whole jQuery UI and include it instead.
For anyone else who is getting this but has the requirements; make sure you are including the Javascript files in the correct order. This error was being caused by my jquery-ui.js being included after the multiselect js file.
This answer is probably unrelated to the situation of the questioner, but I put it here for the sake of others Googling the question.
I got this error using Rails 3.2 and fixed it by deleting (renaming) the public/assets folder. It seems there are a lot of problems with the assets pipeline still. I don't know the details but have had other Javascript failures that are fixed this way.
Actually if you are getting this error then it's either
a) per #andyb answer - you haven't included the correct jQuery UI components
OR
b) your DOM is not loaded yet with the correct $.widget and therefore your function is attempting to call before $.widget has loaded. to fix the problem, ensure $.widget is called BEFORE your function
I'm using "Jquery UI 1./Dan Wellman/Packt Publishing" to learn JQuery UI. I'm working on the 'Dialog widget' chapiter.
After I've completed a series of exercises in order to build a Dialog widget (using Google Chrome), I then tried my work with Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The result has been disappointing.
Chrome was perfet
With Internet Explorer, (1) the title of the Dialog widget did not appear, (2) The location of the dialog widget was not correct (given the position: ["center", "center"]). It was rather offset toward left.
With Firefox, the location was respected. However, only the outer container was visible. the content was missing, just a blank container.
Also using Option Show:true and Hide:true did only work with Chrome.
I wonder now if JQuery UI was meant to be used only with Google Chrome. I just think that I might be missing some directives to make it work with major browsers (as the author claimed in his book).
Here's the code. Since, I'm using ASP.NET MVC, certain codes, such as the element to the css, do not appear. But, for the rest, all the functioning code is bellow.
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

The goal of this tutorial is to explain one method of creating
model classes for an ASP.NET MVC application. In this tutorial,
you learn how to build model classes and perform database access
by taking advantage of Microsoft LINQ to SQL. In this tutorial,
we build a basic Movie database application. We start by creating
the Movie database application in the fastest and easiest way possible.
We perform all of our data access directly from our controller actions.
</p>
<div style = "font-size:.7em" id = "myDialog" title = "This is the title">
In this tutorial -- in order to illustrate how you can build model classes
-- we build a simple Movie database application.
The first step is to create a new database. Right-click the
App_Data folder in the Solution Explorer window and select the menu option
Add, New Item. Select the SQL Server Database template, give it the name
MoviesDB.mdf, and click the Add button (see Figure 1).
</div>

$("#myDialog").dialog(dialogOpts);
});
</script>
Thank for helping.
EDIT
I've re-done the same exercise yesterday. From the beginning to the end, each time I've introduced a behavior, I've tested my work in all 3 browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome).
Everything works until I add option Show and Hide. Then only Chrome works.
If I remove Show and Hide, everything works again.
If I keep only Show and Hide, everything works perfectly
Maybe Show and Hide options for dialog widget do not mix up well with other options.
Thanks for helping.
No, jQuery UI works in any of those browsers. It's probably either the steps you're following don't work so well with the version you're using or the version you're using is old. I've used jQuery UI without issue on both browsers. If you don't believe me, then open this URL in your browser:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
In Firefox 3.6, it loads just fine for me.
I'm not an expert on jQuery UI, but providing the code here might help.
jQuery supports all the major browsers however there are know issues with;
Firefox 1.0.x
Internet Explorer 1.0-5.x
Safari 1.0-2.0.1
Opera 1.0-8.x

We have successfully implemented a Dialog widget without major issues. We did have some problems making sure the correct versions of the libraries were created. I would suggest you build a custom file using the jQuery UI download tool. This will put all the necessary files in a single minified file.
If the Dialog examples don't help then posting code will be necessary to obtain further help.
EDIT:
I have anchors created with the classes dialogOpen and dialogClose and use the following code to utilise the created UI Dialog;
$(document).ready(function(){
var dialogOpts = {
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 840,
height: 560
};
$(".dialogOpen").click(function(){
$("#myDialog").dialog("open");
return false;
});
$(".dialogClose").click(function(){
$("#myDialog").dialog("close");
return false;
});
$("#myDialog").css('display','block').dialog(dialogOpts);
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar").hide();
});
NB: The use of the css function when creating the dialog stops the content appearing on the page before the Dialog is created. We needed this because our dialog has flash.
You may be missing something. It surely works in all major browsers.
jQuery is ment to be cross browser. Any errors with this can have to reasons
- Programmer's error
- Explicit incompatibilty
There are some explicit incompatibility's with IE5.5 and IE6 in jQuery. They are in the comments of jQuery and a good js compatible IDE like netbeans will allow targeting and warn you about it.
I never had any problems with the dialog widget positioning or contents.
jQuery UI is most definitly not designed to work with Google Chrome only.
I've successfully created applications using jQuery UI working on all major browser platforms.
jQuery UI (and jQuery) contain code to work around certain browser issues.
Of course there can be issues in jQuery UI which show on IE, like this one, but those are certainly not by design.
