I am making a rails app where I want a fullscreen video in the background. Should I use html5 or .js to do this? If I'm going to use .js, is bigvideo.js any good even though there is no gem for it yet?
Add the jquery plugin Bigvideo.js to your JS folder.
require the plugin in your application.js file
call the plugin at the bottom of your <body> tag. This should prepare the page for the js, and then fire the function upon loading the page.
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
$(function() {
var BV = new $.BigVideo();
BV.init();
BV.show('http://wherevideoislocated.mp4');
});
});
</script>

We are using ckeditor inline edit in our asp.net mvc application. It removes the script tag when rendering the content. Following is the script we are trying to add in the source mode and save it to the database:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(function() {
document.oncontextmenu = function() { alert('Right click disabled for security reasons!!') ;return false;}
});
</script>
It adds fine to the database and when rendering the content back to the webpage, it removes the script tag.
Below is the image where I was able to add the script and save:
Below is the image where it removed the script when rendering back the page after save:
Following is the code i am using in my page to render the saved content:
<div id="content_editable" contenteditable="true">#Html.Raw(Model.PageContent.ToString())</div>
When i remove Html.Raw, it displays the script as the text in the page, but I need to have the script only in the source mode. I also have allowedContent = true in my config.js of ckeditor.
Please suggest how to handle this?
.I want to use jquery bubble popup to create a bubble.
I read that the folder “jquerybubblepopup-themes” should be copied in the root of my website.
Also, I have a jsp that isn't directly under the root of my website, but under "mywebsite/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/myfile.jsp". It contains this javascript code :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.infoTip').CreateBubblePopup({
themeName: 'black',
themePath: 'jquerybubblepopup-themes'
});
});
</script>
I read that in "themePath", the relative path of "jquerybubblepopup-themes" should be set.
In my case, "jquerybubblepopup-themes" can't be loaded, how could I modify themePath value so that the file "jquerybubblepopup-themes" will be loaded ?
Thanks in advance
You should see errors in the browser console, ther you can see where it is trying to search for the themes (path), and adjust the path accordingly
I am using Xcode 4 with PhoneGap (Cordova 1.6) and ChildBrowser. I've used SiteCrawler on OSX to successfully download a website and localize it, and it is fully browsable locally with images, PDFs, etc. I have moved all the localized site files into the PhoneGap www folder and the app test builds fine - the site is fully browse able.
I want the PDFs on the site to open in their own window, and ChildBrowser does this perfectly as far as my needs. Using http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2012/03/installing-the-childbrowser-plugin-for-ios-with-phonegapcordova-1-5/ I was able to get ChildBrowser installed and working - I have PDF files opening in the ChildBrowser.
My problem is that using the link above, I have to add ontouchstart="loadChildBrowser('/path/to/file.pdf'); return false;" to every PDF link on the site. Since we use a CMS, this isn't much of a problem - the bulk of PDFs are called from a template with data filled in from the CMS and they are fine. But there are some pages in the site where the client has added a link to an uploaded PDF into the content of the page. In this case, there is no easy way to add the above code to the inline link.
I figured that I can use jQuery to look at each a tag on the page when clicked and if clicked, run the ChildBroswer instance, and this would cover both types of PDF links, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/cordova-1.6.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/ChildBrowser.js"></script>
<script>
// install ChildBrowser
var cb = ChildBrowser.install();
//loading a web page in ChildBrowser
$('a[href$=pdf]').click(function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
cb.showWebPage(encodeURI(href));
return false;
});
</script>
Using the above with no inline link javascript, the PDF opens on its own, without child browser.
Using the below along with ontouchstart="loadChildBrowser('/path/to/file.pdf'); return false;", child browser will open, and for some links shows the PDF, and for others just says loading. I figure this is just tweaking for paths, but I think the above would be most universal if it can be made to work.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/cordova-1.6.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/ChildBrowser.js"></script>
<script>
// install ChildBrowser
var cb = ChildBrowser.install();
//loading a web page in ChildBrowser
function loadChildBrowser(file) {
cb.showWebPage(encodeURI(file));
}
</script>
Through trial and error I was able to get this working for the most part. I'm still hitting a couple of unrelated bugs (well, related to Childbrowser but not the loading go local PDF files).
So, using ontouchstart="loadChildBrowser('/path/to/file.pdf'); return false;" on all links to PDFs on the site is still the way to go. What changed was the JS function I am using to determine the path to the PDFs and launch ChildBrowser. I had to do this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/cordova-1.6.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/a/js/ChildBrowser.js"></script>
<script>
// install ChildBrowser
var cb = ChildBrowser.install();
//loading a web page in ChildBrowser
function loadChildBrowser(file) {
var path = location.pathname+file;
var len = path.length;
var locleft = path.indexOf('/www/')+4;
var trim = len-locleft;
var left = path.slice(0,-trim);
var locright = path.indexOf('/assets/');
var trim = len-locright;
var right = path.slice(-trim);
var finalPath = left+right;
cb.showWebPage(encodeURI(finalPath));
}
</script>
in my included header file (so it lives in the head of every page on the site). The problem was that when ChildBrowser pulled up the path to the file, it was appending the part below the normal site's web root (/assets/documents/xxx.pdf) to the full path to the page being viewed in the app at the time, so I ended up with:
/var/users/name/blah/blah/www/page.html/assets/documents/xxx.pdf
when we wanted:
/var/users/name/blah/blah/www/assets/documents/xxx.pdf
The script above prepends location.pathname to the file var passed from the function (ontouch start) that calls ChildBrowser so that we end up with
/var/users/name/blah/blah/www/page.html/assets/documents/xxx.pdf (not correct)
It then splits it into a left section (everything before /www) and a right section (everything including and after /assets/) and then concatenates them (effectively removing all the site directory and html file information) and then calls ChildBrowser with that finalPath. Working for me.
I am using Rails 3 and JqueryUI-1.8.3). I have images on the page that I want the user to be able to resize.
Application.html.erb is as follows:
<%= javascript_include_tag "application.js" %>
<link class="jsbin" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script class="jsbin" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script class="jsbin" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.13/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
When I write the code as below in my application.js, the image is resizable:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#img1").resizable({ handles:'n,e,s,w,ne,se,nw,sw' , maxHeight: 300, aspectRatio: true });
});
However, the above code has problem because the image is sometimes not loaded correctly (the page had to be refreshed to display the image). This is because though the document is ready, image has not been loaded.
So I thought of using the following in application.js to fix the need for refresh:
$("#img1").load(function () {
$("#img1").resizable({ handles:'n,e,s,w,ne,se,nw,sw' , maxHeight: 300, aspectRatio: true });
});
However, this makes the image not resizable (only displays image, but no resize). The code seems to work on JSBin (http://jsbin.com/iboxoy/40/edit#source), but not in my Rails code. Anytime I do not use document.ready(), the image does not remain resizable in rails Jquery-UJS code.
Does application.js file always need to have document.ready()?
Why does (#img).load() not work in this case?
Is there any other solution which would be more efficient.
Thanks!
Try rebinding the resizable behavior both when the document is ready, and when the image has finished loading.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#img1").resizable();
$("#img1").load(function () {
$("#img1").resizable();
});
}
Just in case someone comes across this question in the future --
I solved it by changing
$(document).ready()
to
$(window).load()
This is because we are doing actions on the images which need to be first loaded. This resolved the issue I was seeing.
Somehow $("#img1").load() within $(document).ready() is not working. It would be great if someone could explain why this is the case. My guess is that document is ready before image gets loaded (if image is not in the cache, typical for a new user of the page and the $("#img1").load() does not get fired (Since image is not loaded when document is ready).
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>
