I'm using the most recent JQuery UI Tabs (1.10.2). http://jqueryui.com/tabs/
I need to be able to link to individual tabs from external pages. Maybe the more correct way to say it would be to say that I need to be able to change the initially active tab via a bookmarble link.
I know how to set the active index so that #tabs-3 is the active tab
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({ active: 5 });
But I need to know how to change the value for .tabs({ active }) with the url hash so that a link of "tabs-page.html#tabs-3" will load the third tab of "tabs-page.html" by changing .tabs({ active }) to "2" (since it is a zero-based integer).
I'm really more of an html/css designer and a novice to JQuery/JQuery UI, please and thank you for your help. I've searched and found fixes for earlier versions and alternate libraries like JQuery Tools, but nothing for JQuery 1.10.2. I've found ways to link to the section and then reset the window location, but that results in a lot of "jumpiness" as the browser switches between window locations. If there is another page with this fix please link in the comments. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
You will need to read the value of the hash within your jQuery. Some good information can be found here Getting URL hash location, and using it in jQuery
var url = "http://site.com/file.htm#3";
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#',''); // '3'
Once you have this, you will be able to set the active tab on the jqueryUI Tabs
$('#tabs').tabs( "option", "active", hashValue );
You would need to do all of this when the page initially loads, so within a $(function(){ ... });
Update
Here is the full code;
<script>
$(function () {
// run the jquery ui plugin
$('#tabs').tabs();
// grab the url
var url = document.URL;
// grab the value of the hash
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#', '');
// check to make sure it is a number
if (!isNaN(hashValue)) {
// set the active tab
$('#tabs').tabs("option", "active", hashValue);
}
});
</script>
Select2 loads all items from my list successful, the issue I found when try to select a specific value when page loads. Example:
:: put select2 in a specific html element, no value is selected even all items are loaded.
$('#my_id').select2();
:: When the page is loaded I'm trying to show a specific item selected, but doesn't work as expected, because even selected, the select2 doesn't show it.
$('#my_id').val('3'); //select the right option, but doesn't render it on page loads.
How to make a selected option to pop up when pages loads?
Thanks in advance.
#UPDATED
:: How I load all select2 items (sorry, its jade, not pure HTML):
label(for='category') Category
span.required *
select(id='category', style='width:230px', name='category')
option(value='') - Select -
each cat in categories
option(value='#{cat.id}') #{cat.description}
P.S.: All items from my list are loaded.
:: How I initialize the select2:
Just put the following line code on my javascript and it does successful:
$('#category').select2();
:: How I'm trying to select a specific value:
First attempt:
$('#category').select2(
{
initSelection: function(element, callback) {
callback($('#field-category').val());
}
}
);
Second attempt:
$('#category').val($('#field-category').val());
P.S.: #field-category has a value its a hidden input field and works OK.
You need to use the initSelection option to set the initial value.
If you are using a pre-defined select element to create the select2, you can use the following method
$('select').select2().select2('val','3')
Demo: Fiddle
add a trigger change after setting val:
$('#my_id').val('3').trigger('change');
A very simple way to tackle this problem is :
//Step1: Here assuming id of your selectbox is my_id, so this will add selected attribute to 1st option
$('#my_id option').eq(0).prop('selected',true);
//Step2: Now reinitialize your select box
//This will work, if you haven't initialized selectbox
$('#my_id').select2();
or
//This will work, if you have initialized selectbox earlier, so destroy it first and initialise it
$('#my_id').select2('destroy').select2();
This may help:
$('#mySelect2').val('1'); // Select the option with a value of '1'
$('#mySelect2').trigger('change'); // Notify any JS components that the value changed

Per here initSelection is deprecated in Select2 4.0 and later.
Using Select2 4.0.0 this worked for me:
$('#my_id').select2({val:3});
HT: #Kokizzu
Here is how to make val in select2 just select the corresponding element.
For some reason, select2 doesn't provide the function to look up selections by id.
init:
$("#thing").select2({data:sources, initSelection: function(item, callback) {
// despite select2 having already read the whole sources list when you
// do .val(n) you have to explicitly tell it how to find that item again.
var to_be_selected = null;
$.each(sources, function(index, thing) {
if (thing.id == item.val()) {
to_be_selected = thing;
return;
}
})
callback(to_be_selected);
}})
normal code
// to load the thing with id==3 from the initial sources list.
$("#thing").select2({'val': 3})
For me I was sending selected in the data set still default option was not getting selected. I had to do something like below to make it work -
$(".select").select2({
data: data_names
});
data_names.forEach(function(name) {
if (name.selected) {
$(".select").select2('val', name.id);
}
});
I had a multiple select2 box with multiple selections.
Step 1 was to put my string of school_ids into an array of integers corresponding to the id of each school, and remove a leading zero. I had to do this in a separate script tag.
<script>
var school_ids = <%= raw JSON.parse(#search.school_ids).map{|x| x.to_i} - [0]%>
</script>
Step two was to create the select box, then set the values, then trigger like so:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.select2-multiple').select2({
placeholder: "Hit Enter After Selection",
width: 'resolve'
});
$('.select2-multiple').val(school_ids);
$('.select2-multiple').trigger('change');
</script>
trigger just select2 to set the value
$('#my_id').val('3').trigger("change.select2");
and this will trigger select2 with dropdown
$('#my_id').val('3').trigger("change");
I meet with the same problem, this works for me：
Using Select2 > 4.0.0
$('#select_id').val('3').trigger('change');
var option=$(this);
if(option.val()==data.StudentCourses.CourseId)
{
option.setAttribute('Selected');
}
});
i have initilized select2 because i just want few options selected from them.
If you are using select2 v4.0.0 or above, you can check select2 documentation
// Initialize select2 for all select tags
$('select').select2();
// Initialize select2 for a specific id
$('#my-id').select2();
// Initialize select2 for a class
$('.my-class').select2();
// Update the displayed value after changing the selected option.
$('#my-id').trigger('change');
$('.classname').each(function() {
$(this).siblings().find('.select2selection__rendered').text($(this).text())
})
in my case I were dealing with a class then I used this way to set showing content at select2
<option selected value="your_value">your_text</option>
u need to put this at each select box's first option
I am using cordova 2.2.0 with Xcode 4.5.2. On one of my pages I have a select component and once a particular option is selected I want to display a table within a div. My html looks like this: <div class="hero-unit" id="#facprog"></div>
The javascript/jquery looks like this:
<pre><code>
$(function() {
$('#selFaculty').change(function() {
var facultyName = $('#selFaculty').val();
var progDetails = app.fillFacultyProgramme(facultyName);
alert(progDetails);
$('#facprog').append(progDetails);
});
});
</code></pre>
Note that #selFaculty is the id of the select object. However, when the select option changes, everything in javascript executes except for the append. Nothing shows up in the div. Is there a different way to add html element to a div in jquery under cordova 2.2.0 in iOS?
Thanks in advance,
José
With jquery you can refresh a div.
This is a good example:
<script>
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').fadeOut('slow').load('reload.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 20000);
</script>
and now you need to put the div in the body section of your page
<div id="loaddiv">
</div>
from http://designgala.com/how-to-refresh-div-using-jquery/
and there is another example here:
refresh div with jquery
The first example is useful when you need to load a script and refresh and the second one is useful when you need to make a change, e.g. append html and then refresh as in your case.
I am loading two MVC Partial Views in jQuery UI dialog using following code for editing and adding a record:
$.get(url, function(data)
{
dialogDiv.html(data);
var $form = $(formid);
$form.unbind();
$form.data("validator", null);
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse(document);
var dat = $form.data("unobtrusiveValidation");
var opts = dat ? dat.options || '' : '';
$form.validate(opts);
//THIS FUNCTION ADDS PLUGINS ETC.
runEditCreateStartScripts();
dialogDiv.dialog('open');
});
Following is the function that wires-up chosen functionality.
function runEditCreateStartScripts(){
$("select.chzn-select").chosen(
{
no_results_text: "no match",
allow_single_deselect: true
});
}
Everything is perfect on first call. After opening one dialog say edit a few times everything is broken. There is only hyperlink available in place of chosen stuff. This also happens if I open one dialog say add and then second dialog. The bindings and other functionality from first one (add) is gone.
Any insights on why this might be happening?
The problem that caused my issue was that the modals I was loading via AJAX had inputs with the SAME ID as an input field that was already on the page (using Django that has generic ID generators for model fields). This caused collision between the two inputs when re-triggering .chosen() on the selector. When I made the ID fields unique, all worked as expected.
Hope this would have helped.
I'm building a select list with an Ajax call that is triggered when another select list is changed.
The page loads correctly with the jQuery styling, but when I replace my ajax container with the new div I can't get jQuery mobile to format it. This means that it reverts to the native select list format.
I have tried what is suggested in the JQM documentation:
var myselect = $("select#foo");
myselect[0].selectedIndex = 3;
myselect.selectmenu("refresh");
but that does not work. My page initially loads with this:
<div id="ajax-destination">
<select id="destinationAirport" data-native-menu="false">
<option value="-- Please Select --" data-placeholder="true">-- Please Select --</option>
</select>
and this is my jQuery code wrapped in the change function of the other select list.
$('#ajax-destination').empty();
$.post(url, { departureAirport : departureAirport }, function(data) {
$('#ajax-destination').append(data);
var myselect = $("#destinationAirport");
myselect[0].selectedIndex = 1;
myselect.selectmenu("refresh");
});
The only other way I can think to do this is to return a JSON array via Ajax and use that to add the options to the select list, but I would prefer to just send formatted HTML because it's simpler to follow.
If myselect.selectmenu("refresh"); or myselect.selectmenu("refresh",true); doesn't work you can always refresh the page using
you could try myselect.trigger('create');
#Andy :
myselect.selectmenu("refresh"); will refresh the select box and where as
myselect.selectmenu('refresh', true); will rebuild the select menu.It may helps you out. Check this link once http://forum.jquery.com/topic/how-to-add-items-and-refresh-the-select-menu-in-jquery-mobile
