Click on a disabled Jquery UI Slider goes to top of page - jquery-ui

When you click on a JQuery UI slider that is disabled and the page has been scrolled down, the page goes back to the top.
This is happening because the slider widget is implemented with an anchor tag containing an Href of #.
This is my hack solution.
$(".ui-slider-disabled").on("click",
".ui-slider-handle",
function () {return false;});
It works well but, is there a native (API) way to stop this?

How about this (you may need to change the class, depending on how you set it up)
$(".ui-slider").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation()
});

Jquery Mobile 1.3 slider conflicts with panel

I am trying to set up a JQuery Mobile 1.3 site that uses a panel and a slider.
Problem is, that using the slider triggers the panel, which opens on a "swiperight" event, as I am moving the slider to the right. The slider will be for pagination, the panel for a menu.
Code here:
http://jsfiddle.net/kMARn/1/
Move the slider to the right and the panel will open.
I have tried using the .not() selector for the panel to not react on the slider:
$(document).not("#slider").on("swiperight", function(event, ui) {
$("#myPanel").panel("open");
});
But it won't work, the panel opens when i move the slider to the right. Tried a bunch of variants too, but I'm lost...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
A bit late to the party, but you can disable swipe-to-close by setting the data-swipe-close attribute to "false" on the panel div.
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.3.0-beta.1/docs/panels/options.html
In my case I used this simple code, without data-swipe-close = "false" in panel.
Keeping panel close with swipe right, outside of the slider.
$('#panel').find('#slider')
.on('slidestop',function(e,ui) {
var value = e.target.value;
//...operations with slider value...
})
.parent().on('swiperight',function(e,ui) {
e.stopPropagation(); //block panel close
})
From the 1.3.0b1 Docs for Swipe:
"Triggers when a horizontal drag of 30px or more (and less than 75px
vertically) occurs within 1 second duration"
This applies to and can be configured for swiperight too. You can make the slider small in length and this would ensure that both the slider event stop and the swipe are not triggered at the same time, yet that may not be practical for all scenarios.
What might be better is to bind the swipe right to a DIV or section of the page. By this, I mean if you have a 75 px div box on the left hand side of the display, and when a swipe event occurred within that div, it could trigger the menu.
I feel the logic here might be better controlled by a button, much like used in the Facebook App to display there slide out menu. In the Dolphin browser on Android, this type of event also triggers a bookmark menu, so if a page has a swiperight event and trigger it, I sometimes get both the event and the bookmark menu from the App. Annoying!
I did fork your jsfiddle and will play with it more (http://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/Hg2pw/). FYI, they have JQM 1.3.0b1 in their available frameworks so you don't have to link it in your HTML. If I find some more info, I will comment here.
The following solution is more a workaround. It should be relatively reliable though.
$(document).ready( function () {
var menu_available = true;
$(document).on("swiperight", function(event, ui) {
if (menu_available) $("#myPanel").panel("open");
});
$("#slider").on("slidestop", function( event, ui ) {
menu_available = false;
window.setTimeout(function() {menu_available= true;},250);
});
});
The variable menu_available is false for a 250 milliseconds right after the slide stops. The window.setTimeout block will reset the variable so that the menu is available again.
This is a stupid workaround, but jQuerys function event.stopEventPropagation(), which IMHO would be the correct way to go, didn't work.

jQuery mobile popup not appearing in center

I am using jQuery mobile and trying to show jQuery pop on page load. But when the page is loaded popup is not appearing in center, instead popup's TOP LEFT corner is appearing in center.
But as soon as browser window size gets change popup automatically shifts to center (Even if I press F12 for developers tool). And then all frequent calls to $('#popupBasic').popup("open"); make it to appear in center of the screen.
But first time top left corner of the popup box appearing in center.
try this: data-position-to="window".
this is the source
You may try repositioning the popup on pageshow:
$( '#popupLogin' ).popup( 'reposition', 'positionTo: window' );
I reckon what you are experiencing is down to the positioning happening prior the page is fully drawn by the browser. You can overcome this by repositioning the popup like this:
$(document).on('pageshow', '.selector', function(){
$('#popupBasic').popup('reposition', 'positionTo: window');
});
$(document).on("popupafteropen", function() {
$('#popup').popup('reposition', 'positionTo: window');
});
You can use the custom pop up events to reposition it after opening
I was getting the same error. You only want to show the popup after the page has been painted.
Adding your code to listen to the pageshow event instead of the pageinit event will probably fix your problem. It fixed it for me.
This is a very vague question.
A few items you should provide:
What browser are you testing on and what version?
What version of JQM?
Are there any custom CSS interacting with JQM?
As of JQM 1.2, Popup options available:
default: "origin"
Sets the element relative to which the popup will be centered. It has the following values:
"origin" When the popup opens, center over the coordinates passed to the open() call (see methods page).
"window" When the popup opens, center in the window.
jQuery selector When the popup opens, create a jQuery object based on the selector, and center over it. The selector is filtered for elements that are visible with ":visible". If the result is empty, the popup will be centered in the window.

It worked for me when I set the width of popup div manually; try:
$("#popupBasic").css("width","200px");

How to animate the opening and closing of collapsible objects with jquery mobile?

I'm using Jquery mobile and doing some custom stuff.
The default collapsible object just seems to 'show' the hidden content instantly, which I find a bit user unfriendly. A few problems occur with this in that if the button is at the bottom of the screen, and the hidden content is off screen, then the user might not know that anything has even happened.
In my mind two things should happen.
The content should slideDown().
I should have the option to have the page scroll down so that the button finds itself at the top of the screen, in doing so guaranteeing the the previously hidden content is visible.
Any pointers in how I might go about doing either of these?
If I understood you correctly you are talking about a collapsible content block and when a user taps on the header it should scroll down a bit so that the body part is shown to the user.
You can do it by attaching a click event to the header that triggers a scrolling. In the code below I have done it as an animation. I also have adjusted the scroll position with -40px so that the user still sees some part of the elements that are on top of the header.
$('.ui-collapsible-heading-collapsed').on('click.scrollintoview', function (event) {
$('body').animate({ scrollTop: $(event.target).offset().top - 40}, 500);
});

jQuery Mobile: scrollview and swipe events

I have a basic JQM page which displays a left side sliding menu when swiping (like the facebook mobile app). It worked fine until I started using scrollview (to properly keep the header fixed). The swipe event is not triggered when I swipe over my page content (it still works if I swipe on the header).
$('.ui-page-active').live("swiperight", function() {
if (!menuStatus) {
showMenu();
}
});
Does anyone has any idea on how to make it work?
Cheers!
I think you might find that the event is consumed in the scrollview control. You can override the javascript handler against that control to allow it to keep bubbling.
To override the function you can use this technique: Overriding a JavaScript function while referencing the original
Having a quick look at the file, it looks like this method could hold clues as to what you want:
_handleDragMove: function(e, ex, ey)
specifically:
var svdir = this.options.direction;
if (!this._directionLock)
I was using the version of scrollview shown here: http://jquerymobile.com/test/experiments/scrollview/scrollview-nested.html

How do I prevent scrolling to the top of a page when popping up a jQuery UI Dialog?

I currently use jTemplates to create a rather large table on the client, each row has a button that will open a jQuery UI dialog. However, when I scroll down the page and click on one of those buttons, jQuery dialog will open, but the scroll position get lost and the page jumps back to the top (with the blocking and the actual dialog showing off the screen). Has anyone seen or know what might cause this problem?
Thanks.
Are you using an anchor tag to implement the "button" that pops the dialog? If so, you'll want the click handler that opens the dialog to return false so that the default action of the anchor tag isn't invoked. If you are using a button, you'd also need to make sure that it doesn't submit (by returning false from the handler) and completely refresh the page.
For example,
$('a.closeButton').click( function() {
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
});
<a class='closeButton'>Close</a>
If your buttons work with an html anchor tag with href="#" replace the href for example by href="javascript:;" or any other method that you use to disable the href. The reason why the scrolling happens is because of href="#" scrolls to the top of your page.
change your code like this
$('a.closeButton').click( function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
});
You can try :
scrollTo(0, jQuery("body"));
