Content of <div> not updating - asp.net-mvc

I've got a div element which I am using as a popup which does not update itself. I'll use the picture below to explain:
When I click on each row in the grid, the right hand side updates to show the details, part of which is a potentially lengthy Note field. The button View Note triggers a popup with the full text inside. Here, I have previously selected Donor 2000000, which displayed the correct note. However, when I select another Donor(2000002 as highlighted) the information in the popup retains the info for the first selected Donor. So, essentially it sets it once and then does not update.
The (partial) code for the main View is:
<div class="col-md-4 col-md-push-8">
<h4>
Donor Details
</h4>
<div id="donor-details">
<p class="muted">
Select donor to display detailed infomation
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-pull-4">
#Html.Action("DonorSummaryGrid") #* configure grid in a partial view *#
</div>
</div>
<script>
$(function () {
pageGrids.donorSummaryGrid.onRowSelect(function (e) {
$.post("/Donor/GetDonorDetails?donorId=" + e.row.DonorId, function (data) {
if (data.Status <= 0) {
alert(data.Message);
return;
}
$("#donor-details").html(data.Content);
});
});
});
</script>
The code for the partial view - which contains the details - is:
#if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Model.CurrentNoteText)) {
<div id="note-dialog" title="Note for Donor #Model.DonorId">
<p>#Html.DisplayTextFor(model => model.CurrentNoteText)</p>
</div>
<br />
}
#Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/NoteDialogue.js")
When I debug, the value of Model.CurrentNoteText and #Model.DonorId do reflect the correct data.
NoteDialogue.js is:
$(function() {
$("#note-dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
show: {
effect: "blind",
duration: 500
},
hide: {
effect: "blind",
duration: 200
}
});
$("#opener").click(function() {
$("#note-dialog").dialog("open");
});
});
I hope this is clear :)
Oh, there are no errors shown in the browser, and everthing functions as expected, except for updating the info in the popup.
I have tried
<script>
$("#note-dialog").html("#Model.CurrentNoteText");
</script>
with no success.

Got there in the end :)
Looking at the generated source, I noticed that the code for
<div id="note-dialog" title="Note for Donor #Model.DonorId">
<p>#Html.DisplayTextFor(model => model.CurrentNoteText)</p>
</div>
<br />
was being generated right at the bottom, outside all the other divs containing the grid and details. Looked something like this:
<div tabindex="-1" class="ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-front ui-draggable ui-resizable" role="dialog" aria-describedby="note-dialog" aria-labelledby="ui-id-1"....>
As I clicked each row with a note in, an extra div was being generated, with the aria-labelledby attribute incrementing, e.g. "ui-id-2", "ui-id-3"...
The first generated div was being selected for the dialogue opening.
The solution was to remove the div on the row click event. Code now is:
$(function() {
pageGrids.donorSummaryGrid.onRowSelect(function (e) {
$("#note-dialog").remove();
$.post("/Donor/GetDonorDetails?donorId=" + e.row.DonorId, function(data) {
if (data.Status <= 0) {
alert(data.Message);
return;
}
$("#donor-details").html(data.Content);
});
});
});

backbone view passed to jQuery Mobile

I've been trying to use backbonejs and jqm together.
I can render the main page alright. The page has a list that the user can tap on. The item selected should show a detail page with info on the list item selected. The detail page is a backbone view with a template that's rendered in the item's view object.
The detail's view .render() produces the html ok and I set the html of the div tag of the main page to the rendered item's detail markup. It looks like this:
podClicked: function (event) {
console.log("PodListItemView: got click from:" + event.target.innerHTML + " id:" + (this.model.get("id") ? this.model.get("id") : "no id assigned") + "\n\t CID:" + this.model.cid);
var detailView = new PodDetailView({ model: this.model });
detailView.render();
},
The detail view's render looks like this:
render: function () {
this.$el.html(this.template({ podId: this.model.get("podId"), isAbout_Name: this.model.get("isAbout_Name"), happenedOn: this.model.get("happenedOn") }));
var appPageHtml = $(app.el).html($(this.el));
$.mobile.changePage(""); // <-- vague stab in the dark to try to get JQM to do something. I've also tried $.mobile.changePage(appPageHtml).
console.log("PodDetailView: render");
return this;
}
I can see that the detail's view has been rendered on the page by checking Chrome's dev tools html editor but it's not displaying on the page. All I see is a blank page.
I've tried $.mobile.changePage() but, without an URL it throws an error.
How do I get JQM to apply it's class tags to the rendered html?
the HTML and templates look like this:
<!-- Main Page -->
<div id="lessa-app" class="meditator-image" data-role="page"></div>
<!-- The rest are templates processed through underscore -->
<script id="app-main-template" type="text/template">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>#ViewBag.Title</h1>
</div>
<!-- /header -->
<div id="main-content" data-role="content">
<div id="pod-list" data-theme="a">
<ul data-role="listview" >
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main-footer" data-role='footer'>
<div id="newPod" class="ez-icon-plus"></div>
</div>
</script>
<script id="poditem-template" type="text/template">
<span class="pod-listitem"><%= isAbout_Name %></span> <span class='pod-listitem ui-li-aside'><%= happenedOn %></span> <span class='pod-listitem ui-li-count'>5</span>
</script>
<script id="page-pod-detail-template" type="text/template">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Pod Details</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<div id='podDetailForm'>
<fieldset data-role="fieldcontain">
<legend>PodDto</legend>
<label for="happenedOn">This was on:</label>
<input type="date" name="name" id="happenedOn" value="<%= happenedOn %>" />
</fieldset>
</div>
<button id="backToList" data-inline="false">Back to list</button>
</div>
<div data-role='footer'></div>
</script>
Thanks in advance for any advice... is this even doable?
I've finally found a way to do this. My original code has several impediments to the success of this process.
The first thing to do is to intercept jquerymobile's (v.1.2.0) changePage event like this:
(I've adapted the outline from jqm's docs and left in the helpful comments: see http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/page-dynamic.html
)
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function (e, data) {
// We only want to handle changePage() calls where the caller is
// asking us to load a page by URL.
if (typeof data.toPage === "string") {
// We are being asked to load a page by URL, but we only
// want to handle URLs that request the data for a specific
// category.
var u = $.mobile.path.parseUrl(data.toPage),
re = /^#/;
// don't intercept urls to the main page allow them to be managed by JQM
if (u.hash != "#lessa-app" && u.hash.search(re) !== -1) {
// We're being asked to display the items for a specific category.
// Call our internal method that builds the content for the category
// on the fly based on our in-memory category data structure.
showItemDetail(u, data.options); // <--- handle backbone view.render calls in this function
// Make sure to tell changePage() we've handled this call so it doesn't
// have to do anything.
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
The changePage() call is made in the item's list backbone view events declaration which passes to the podClicked method as follows:
var PodListItemView = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'li', // name of (orphan) root tag in this.el
attributes: { 'class': 'pod-listitem' },
// Caches the templates for the view
listTemplate: _.template($('#poditem-template').html()),
events: {
"click .pod-listitem": "podClicked"
},
initialize: function () {
this.model.bind('change', this.render, this);
this.model.bind('destroy', this.remove, this);
},
render: function () {
this.$el.html(this.listTemplate({ podId: this.model.get("podId"), isAbout_Name: this.model.get("isAbout_Name"), happenedOn: this.model.get("happenedOn") }));
return this;
},
podClicked: function (event) {
$.mobile.changePage("#pod-detail-page?CID='" + this.model.cid + "'");
},
clear: function () {
this.model.clear();
}
});
In the 'showItemDetail' function the query portion of the url is parsed for the CID of the item's backbone model. Again I've adapted the code provided in the jquerymobile.com's link shown above.
Qestion: I have still figuring out whether it's better to have the code in showItemDetail() be inside the view's render() method. Having a defined function seems to detract from backbone's architecture model. On the other hand, having the render() function know about calling JQM changePage seems to violate the principle of 'separation of concerns'. Can anyone provide some insight and guidance?
// the passed url looks like #pod-detail-page?CID='c2'
function showItemDetail(urlObj, options) {
// Get the object that represents the item selected from the url
var pageSelector = urlObj.hash.replace(/\?.*$/, "");
var podCid = urlObj.hash.replace(/^.*\?CID=/, "").replace(/'/g, "");
var $page = $(pageSelector),
// Get the header for the page.
$header = $page.children(":jqmData(role=header)"),
// Get the content area element for the page.
$content = $page.children(":jqmData(role=content)");
// The markup we are going to inject into the content area of the page.
// retrieve the selected pod from the podList by Cid
var selectedPod = podList.getByCid(podCid);
// Find the h1 element in our header and inject the name of the item into it
var headerText = selectedPod.get("isAbout_Name");
$header.html("h1").html(headerText);
// Inject the item info into the content element
var view = new PodDetailView({ model: selectedPod });
var viewElHtml = view.render().$el.html();
$content.html(viewElHtml);
$page.page();
// Enhance the listview we just injected.
var fieldContain = $content.find(":jqmData(role=listview)");
fieldContain.listview();
// We don't want the data-url of the page we just modified
// to be the url that shows up in the browser's location field,
// so set the dataUrl option to the URL for the category
// we just loaded.
options.dataUrl = urlObj.href;
// Now call changePage() and tell it to switch to
// the page we just modified.
$.mobile.changePage($page, options);
}
So the above provides the event plumbing.
The other problem I had was that the page was not set up correctly. It's better to put the page framework in the main html and not put it in an underscore template to be rendered at a later time. I presume that avoids issues where the html is not present when jqm takes over.
<!-- Main Page -->
<div id="lessa-app" data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1></h1>
</div>
<!-- /header -->
<div id="main-content" data-role="content">
<div id="pod-list" data-theme="a">
<ul data-role="listview">
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main-footer" data-role='footer'>
<div id="main-newPod" class="ez-icon-plus"></div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- detail page -->
<div id="pod-detail-page" data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1></h1>
</div>
<div id="detail-content" data-role="content">
<div id="pod-detail" data-theme="a">
</div>
</div>
<div id="detail-footer" data-role='footer'>
back
</div>
</div>

Change position of input filed for jQuery Mobile Filter List

Im using the jQuery Mobile Filter List:
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/lists-search-with-dividers.html
Is it possible to move the position of the input field so I can put it into a div already on my page?
Using jQuery's appendTo seems to work fine but its kind of a hacky solution. Thanks
this is what I found while searching for solution to a similar problem.
HTML code example:
<div data-role="page" id="page-id">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input type="search" name="password" id="search" value="" />
</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="one">1</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="two">2</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="three">3</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="four">4</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="five">5</div>
</div>
</div>
JS code example:
$(document).delegate('#page-id', 'pageinit', function () {
var $filterDivs = $('.filter-div');
$('#search').bind('keyup change', function () {
if (this.value == '') {
$filterDivs.slideDown(500);
} else {
var regxp = new RegExp(this.value),
$show = $filterDivs.filter(function () {
return ($(this).attr('data-filter').search(regxp) > -1);
});
$filterDivs.not($show).slideUp(500);
$show.slideDown(500);
}
});
});
This way you can place your input text box anywhere on your page and it should properly filter a list of items you want.

submitting the form after clicking the item on the tab menu in Jquery

The example at: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/, I would like the form is submitted when clicking the tab-2 menu.
The following is my code. However, the form doesn't submit after clicking.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks!
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
$('#tabs-2').click(function() {
$('#target').submit();
});
});
</script>
<div id="tabs">
<form id="target">
<ul>
<li>Tab-1</li>
<li>Tab-2</li>
<li>Tab-3</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
</div>
<div id="tabs-3">
</div>
</form>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#tabs-2').click(function() {
$('#target').submit();
});
});
You'll probably find that the tab plugin is preventing the default actions of the click anyway and not calling your click event.
You should try hooking into tabselect event instead and use ui.tab to check if the selected tab's href attribute is #tabs-2.
$("#tabs").bind("tabsselect", function(event, ui) {
if(ui.tab.attr('href') == '#tabs-2') {
$('#target').submit();
}
});
Or you could do this when you create the tabs instead:
$("#tabs").tabs({
select: function(event, ui) {
if(ui.tab.attr('href') == '#tabs-2') {
$('#target').submit();
}
}
});
You could also use ui.index to get the zero-basde index of the selected tab, or ui.panel to get the selected content div for that tab. Whichever you prefer!
I think you need to define id for Tab-2 as mentioned here. but here you are referring div id click.
<li>Tab-2</li>
$('#tabs2').click(function() {
$('#target').submit();
});

JQuery disable tab 3 when click tab 2?

I am new to this forum so first let me say a big hello and thanks for providing such a great website!
I am new to JQuery but I love it, I have some JQuery tabs doing the usual List/Edit/Create stuff in a backend.
I have managed to set the edit tab to deisabled when viewing the list tab (as you need to slect a list item to edit) and it is enabled when a list item edit icon is clicked.
The question I have is if I then click the third tab how do I disable the second tab onlick?
This is my standard tab code...
$(function()
{
$("#tabs").tabs({disabled: [2]});
$("#tabs").tabs();
}
);
HTML:
<div class="demo">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><wont let me post 3 links>Jobs</a></li>
<li>Create Job</li>
<li>Edit Job</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1" style="background-color: #fff">
Include...
</div>
<div id="tabs-2" style="background-color: #fff">
Include...
</div>
<div id="tabs-3" style="background-color: #fff">
Include...
</div>
</div>
Thanks
First you HTML is no correct so the plugin does not initialiaze well. The first tab button link is incorrect:
<li><wont let me post 3 links>Jobs</a></li>
Should be
<li>Jobs</li>
Then you are initializing two times the plugin, only do it once.
In the show event handler, enable/disable the tabs according to the actual tab shown:
$(function()
{
$("#tabs").tabs({
//disabled: [2],
show: function(event, ui) {
if (ui.index === 0) {
$('#tabs').tabs('enable', 1);
$('#tabs').tabs('enable', 2);
} else {
$('#tabs').tabs('disable', ui.index === 1 ? 2 : ui.index === 2 ? 1 : -1);
}
}
});
/*$("#tabs").tabs();
}*/
);
Here is a live working example on jsfiddle

Show feedback to a user when loading content though ajax

I'm using the jquery tab plugin with the same results that are on jquery ui site (link text).
The problem is that I want to change the tab label to something like "Loading" when the Ajax request is waiting for a response. How shall I achieve that?
Edit:
What I have now:
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>User Profile</li>
<li>Edit</li>
<li>Delete AccountT</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<% Html.RenderPartial("UserProfile", Model); %>
</div>
</div>
and on javascript I just have the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#tabs").tabs({
});
});
</script>
What i want is to show a loading message inside the div of the active tab.
According to the widget doc, ajax should work outside the box if your href is an actual link :
To customize loading message, you can use the spinner option :
Fetch external content via Ajax for
the tabs by setting an href value in
the tab links. While the Ajax request
is waiting for a response, the tab
label changes to say "Loading...",
then returns to the normal label once
loaded.
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({
spinner: "<em>My Loading Msg</em>",
ajaxOptions: {
error: function( xhr, status, index, anchor ) {
$( anchor.hash ).html(
"Couldn't load this tab. We'll try to fix this as soon as possible. " +
"If this wouldn't be a demo." );
}
}
});
});
</script>
Why don't you just set the tab label to "loading" onclick and change it to whatever you want once you get a response back from your AJAX?
$(function () {
$("#tabs").tabs();
$("#tab1").click(function() {
$(this).val("Loading...");
$.ajax({
blablabla...
success: function() {
$("#tab1").val("Tab 1");
}
});
});
This should give you an idea, obviously the function could be written better to act on each tab.
I think what you are after already exists in the jquery ui for Tabs.
The HTML content of this string is
shown in a tab title while remote
content is loading.
http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#option-spinner
Hope this helps!
From your example am I correct in assuming that you want to navigate to another page when the user clicks on either of the second two tabs, but you want a loading message to be displayed while you are waiting for the next tab to load?
If so, you could do it by keeping a loading message in the other tabs like so:
<input type="hidden" id="modelId" value="<%=Model.Id%>" />
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>
User Profile
</li>
<li>
Edit
</li>
<li>
Delete AccountT
</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<% Html.RenderPartial("UserProfile", Model); %>
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
<p>Loading, please wait...</p>
</div>
<div id="tabs-3">
<p>Loading, please wait...</p>
</div>
</div>
And doing the redirection to your other pages in your javascript, doing it something like this:
$(document).ready(document_ready);
function document_ready()
{
$("tabs").bind("tabsselect", onTabSelected);
}
function onTabSelected(event, ui)
{
var modelId = $("#modelId").val();
switch (ui.panel.id)
{
case "tabs-2":
window.location.href = "/User/EditUser/" + modelId;
break;
case "tabs-3":
window.location.href = "/User/Delete/" + modelId;
break;
}
}
