How to capture events for dynamically created data-role="collapsible" - jquery-mobile

Could you please let me know how to capture the events for data-role="collapsible"
This is my fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/5kbEE/18/
I have tried it this way
$('.my-collaspible').on('collapsibleexpand', function() {
alert('herere');
});
How ever i observed that the above event is working fine in case the data-role="collapsible" is static one (http://jsfiddle.net/5kbEE/19/).
Could you please let me know how to make it work if it created dynamically

You have to use event delegation. The container handles the event and delegates it to the collapsible. In this way the collapsibles do not have to exist at the time the handler is created.
$(document).on('collapsibleexpand', '.my-collaspible', function () {
alert('herere');
});

jQuery mobile listview multiple click event

I fill list dynamically, and after that on click I have multiple calls of event. 1st time it is repeated 1 time, 2nd time 2 times, 3rd time 3 times, etc...
First, more about this problem can be found in my other answer: jQuery Mobile: document ready vs page events
Prevent multiple event binding/triggering
Because of interesting jQM loading architecture, multiple event triggering is a constant problem. For example, take a look at this code snipet:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow','#index' ,function(e,data){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/CCfL4/
Each time you visit page #index click event will is going to be bound to button #test-button. There are few ways to prevent this problem:
Solution 1:
Remove event before you bind it:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die().live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/K8YmG/
In case you have different events bound to an object:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die('click').live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Solution 2:
Use a jQuery Filter selector, like this:
$('#carousel div:Event(!click)').each(function(){
//If click is not bind to #carousel div do something
});
Because event filter is not a part of official jQuery framework it can be found here: http://www.codenothing.com/archives/2009/event-filter/
In a nutshell, if speed is your main concern then Solution 2 is much better then Solution 1.
Solution 3:
A new one, probably an easiest of them all.
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
if(e.handled !== true) // This will prevent event triggering more then once
{
alert('Clicked');
e.handled = true;
}
});
});

Jquery mobile How to tap the screen to no avail

I tested on the Apple device, and when I click on the screen when there is no effect. This is my code. Click on the events of this writing there are questions?
<script>
$(function() {
$('#test').tap(function() {
$('#menuNum').text('1');
})
})
</script>
You need to change few things.
Do not use $(function() { or classic document ready to check for a correct state, they can cause problems with jQuery Mobile. Instead use jQuery Mobile alternative called page events.
Then don't bind tap event like that, use proper modern way of doing that. In your case element must be loaded into the DOM for that kind of binding to work. And because of $(function() { sometimes it can happen that element is still loading when binding is executed. So use it like this:
$(document).on('tap','#test',function() {
$('#menuNum').text('1');
});
This method don't care if element exist or not, it will even work if element is loaded into the DOM after binding process.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/SQ7DF/
In the end you want something like this:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){
$(document).on('tap','#test',function() {
alert('Tap');
});
});

Using data-direction with dynamically loaded pages

I'm trying to load dynamic pages with jQuery, following this example.
(EDIT): Updated the code to provide a better view of the context
Here is a code sample
<div data-role="page" id="pageSample">
<div data-role="header">title</div>
<div data-role="content">
<a href="#home" data-role="button" data-transition="slide" data-direction='reverse'>Home</a>
</div>
<div data-role="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
$(document).bind( "pagebeforechange", function( e, data ) {
// Generate dynamic content of targeted pages...
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
dataUrl:url,
reverse:reverse
});
});
The back button may be dynamically generated or not (such as this snippet). In both cases, it does not work reverse, as changePage is triggered through pagebeforechange.
Therefore, I inserted a reverse variable in changePage() options.
I can't find a way to retrieve the data-direction value of the clicked item.
I tried this just before changePage():
reverse = false;
$('a[data-direction="reverse"]').on("click", function(){
reverse = true;
});
But the reverse value is not updated in changePage(). I guess both codes run synchronously.
Is there a way to update the reverse value in changePage() ?
Final update
As per our discussion and your example http://jsfiddle.net/Iris/UZBhx/21/
Change this
$('a').on("click", function()
to
$(document).on("click", 'a', function()
Another update
Binding the $.mobile.changePage to pagebeforechange triggers all your code twice. Thus you lose the value of reverse or it gets neglected when the command executes the first time.
Try binding it to pagebeforehide as below.
$(document).bind( 'pagebeforehide', '[data-role="page"]#PageId', function( e, data ) {
// Generate dynamic content of targeted pages...
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
dataUrl:url,
reverse:reverse
});
});
Update
To use reverse effect on specific buttons, you can follow this method.
First, assign a class for buttons with reverse effect, e.g. ui-reverse and add the below script.
$(document).on('click', '[data-role='button'].ui-reverse', function() {
$.mobile.changePage( url, {
transition:"slide",
reverse: true,
dataUrl:url
});
});
"Back" button links - Jquery Mobile
data-direction="reverse"
Is meant to simply run the backwards version of the transition that will run on that page change, while data-rel="back" makes the link functionally equivalent to the browser's back button and all the standard back button logic applies.
data-rel="back"
This will mimic the back button, going back one history entry and ignoring the anchor's default href.
Adding data-direction="reverse" to a link with data-rel="back" will not reverse the reversed page transition and produce the "normal" version of the transition.
In your case, you want to reverse transition, use the below code.
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
reverse: true, // this will reverse the affect of the transition used in the page.
dataUrl:url
});

Attach ui-widget to dynamic element

When dynamically creating a div using an .ajax() function. I'm unable to attach the .tabs() widget to the newly created .
This link creates the new div and pulls the #tabs div from "somefile.php"
Creates New Div
Here is the dynamically created div:
<div id="newdiv">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Example One</li>
<li>Example Two</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Here is the script I'm using. Output - Error: (d || "").split is not a function
Copy code
$( "#tabs" ).live(function(){
$(this).tabs()
});
I'm able to show the tabs when adding an event parameter, However I want the tabs to display without an event.
Copy code
$( "#tabs" ).live("click", function(){
$(this).tabs()
});
Someone please help me understand what I'm missing. I've been stuck on this for 3 days.
Chris
Are you trying to assign the live handler before the AJAX callback has completed?
My suspicion is you need to move your code into the success handler of your AJAX object and not use live because I don't think it does what you think.
If you post more of your code we'll be able to help you out a bit more.
My guess as to what you're trying to do:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/tabs/",
async: true,
success: function() {
$('#tabs').tabs()
}
});
RSG is correct in that you're using the live function incorrectly. The live function is specifically for attaching event handlers to elements and calling functions. As RSG pointed out, in your case the best thing to do is call the tabs widget in the success function of the ajax request.

Bind jQuery UI autocomplete using .live()

I've searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find any help...
I have some textboxes that are created dynamically via JS, so I need to bind all of their classes to an autocomplete. As a result, I need to use the new .live() option.
As an example, to bind all items with a class of .foo now and future created:
$('.foo').live('click', function(){
alert('clicked');
});
It takes (and behaves) the same as .bind(). However, I want to bind an autocomplete...
This doesn't work:
$('.foo').live('autocomplete', function(event, ui){
source: 'url.php' // (surpressed other arguments)
});
How can I use .live() to bind autocomplete?
UPDATE
Figured it out with Framer:
$(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function(){
$(this).autocomplete({
source : 'url.php'
});
});
});
jQuery UI autocomplete function automatically adds the class "ui-autocomplete-input" to the element. I'd recommend live binding the element on focus without the "ui-autocomplete-input"
class to prevent re-binding on every keydown event within that element.
$(".foo:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)").live("focus", function (event) {
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
Edit
My answer is now out of date since jQuery 1.7, see Nathan Strutz's comment for use with the new .on() syntax.
If you are using the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js try this instead
.bind("keydown.autocomplete") or .live("keydown.autocomplete")
if not, use the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js and see if it'll work
If that doesn't apply, I don't know how to help you bro
Just to add, you can use the .livequery plugin for this:
$('.foo').livequery(function() {
// This will fire for each matched element.
// It will also fire for any new elements added to the DOM.
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
To get autocomplete working when loaded dynamically for the on() event used in jQuery > 1.7, using the syntax Nathan Strutz provides in his comment:
$(document).on('focus', '.my-field:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)', function (e) {
$(this).autocomplete(options)
});
where .my-field is a selector for your autocomplete input element.
.live() does not work with focus.
also keyup.autocmplete does not make any sense.
Instead the thing I have tried and working is this
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup' , function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
})
This works perfectly fine.
You can't. .live() only supports actual JavaScript events, not any custom event. This is a fundamental limitation of how .live() works.
You can try using this:
$('.foo').live('focus.autocomplete', function() {
$(this).autocomplete({...});
});
After reading and testing everyone else's answers I have updated it for the current version of JQuery and made a few tweaks.
The problem with using keydown as the event that calls .autocomplete() is that it fails to autocomplete for that first letter typed. Using focus is the better choice.
Another thing I have noticed is that all of the given solutions result in .autocomplete() being called multiple times. If you are adding an element dynamically to the page that will not be removed again, the event should only be fired once. Even if the item is to be removed and added again, the event should be removed and then added back each time the element is removed or added so that focusing on the field again will not unnecessarily call .autocomplete() every time.
My final code is as follows:
$(document).on('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete', function(e){
$(this).autocomplete(autocompleteOptions);
$(document).off('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete');
});
autocomplete is not an event rather a function that enables autocomplete functionality for a textbox.
So if you can modify the js that creates the textboxes dynamically to wrap the textbox element in as a jquery object and call autocomplete on that object.
I just noticed you edited your post with this answer. It was obvious to me so I'm posting it below for others. Thank you.
$(function()
{
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
});
This works for me:
$(function()
{
$('.item_product').live('focus.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete("/source.php/", {
width: 550,
matchContains: true,
mustMatch: false,
selectFirst: false,
});
});
});
You can just put the autocomplete inside input live event, like this:
$('#input-element').live('input', function(){
$("#input-element").autocomplete(options);
});
