jquery ui dialog: ui-icons showing up weird - jquery-ui

When adding an ui-icon element to a jquery dialog, something weird is displayed instead of the requested icon - (check here for an example: http://jsfiddle.net/aE2Fb/)
It seems like ui-state-default somehow hides the actual icon, because if I remove it, then icon shows up ok. Note that same issue occurrs with ui-state-hover as well.
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog" class="">
<span class="ui-icon ui-state-default ui-icon-plusthick ui-corner-all" ></span>
</div>
$(function() {
$( "#dialog" ).dialog();
});
Similar topic was discussed here:jquery ui Portlet : incorrect effect on hover ( ui-state-hover ), but the "fix" was not explained at all and therefore its not really clear, what is going on...

When you put the div into a jQuery UI dialog, you add a load of extra parents, and extra classes - with the result that the icon image file you wanted is getting over-ridden twice.
The first override is from the css for the standard widget background image, which also sets the image position to '50% 50%' - so putting the middle of the image in your button. This then again gets over-ridden back to the correct icon image file, but without any position settings - so you end up seeing the middle of the icon image in your button.
Try putting the icon span inside another container, and move the ui-state-default and ui-corner-all classes to the container instead:
http://jsfiddle.net/7CLL6/
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog" class="">
<span class='ui-state-default ui-corner-all'>
<span class="ui-button ui-icon ui-icon-plusthick"></span>
</span>
</div>

jquery mobile popup close button doesn't always work

I'm using jquery mobile 1.4.5. In some instances, I generate a pop-up when a user clicks a link and fill that popup with the results of an ajax call. The generated code taken from firebug after the ajax call returns looks like:
<div id="detailsPopup-popup" class="ui-popup-container ui-popup-active" tabindex="0" style="max-width: 1250px; top: 68.9967px; left: 146px;">
<div id="detailsPopup" class="ui-content ui-popup ui-body-a ui-overlay-shadow ui-corner-all" data-role="popup" style="width: 971.538px;"><a class="ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-btn-a ui-icon-delete ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-right" data-iconpos="notext" data-icon="delete" data-theme="a" data-role="button" data-rel="back" href="#">Close</a>
<div data-theme="a" data-role="header">
...content...
</div>
</div>
</div>
The popup is showing up fine. I'd say 90% of the time, when i click the close button, the popup closes. However, 10% of the time it just sits there. Usually it'll highlight the close button as blue, indicating it is active or something but the window itself stays open. If I click around in the popup box a few times and keep trying, it will eventually close, but it is extremely frustrating and user unfriendly.
I'm not sure why it doesn't work that small fraction of the time? I've included a screenshot of what the modal looks like. I don't know if the parent div (the blue outline) is somehow covering half of the button and so that is catching the clicks sometimes?
any thoughts as to what is going on here? I've only been able to try in android/chrome and not an iphone, so i don't know if it is browser specific.
Thanks!
edit: adding javascript code that parses ajax response and generates window. NOTE: i know i'm putting everything in the header div right now (for padding purposes), however I don't think that's causing the issue. I stripped out a lot of the contents of the window for brevity.
function showPopup(jsonResponse){
// parse json response
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON( jsonResponse );
// close button
var closeBtn = $('Close').button();
// start to construct window contents from response
var content = "<div data-role=\"header\" data-theme=\"a\">";
content += '<table border="0" style="width:100%"><tr>';
content += '<td style="vertical-align:top;">';
content += '<a data-ajax="false" href="show.php?id='+obj.id+'"><img src="'+obj.pic+'" style=\"max-height: 2em;\"></a><br><b>'+obj.title+'</b></div>';
content += '</td></tr></table>';
// close header div
content += '</div>';
// Popup body - set width is optional - append button and Ajax msg (was 1.5 width originally)
var popup = $("<div/>", {
"id": "detailsPopup",
"data-role": "popup",
"class": "ui-content"
}).css({
"width": $(window).width() / 1.3 + "px"
}).append(closeBtn).append(content);
// Append it to active page
$(".ui-page-active").append(popup);
// Create it and add listener to delete it once it's closed
// open it
$("#detailsPopup").on("popupafterclose", function () {
$(this).remove();
}).on("popupafteropen", function () {
$(this).popup("reposition", {
"positionTo": "window"
//x: 150,
//y: 200
});
}).popup({
"dismissible": false,
"history": false,
"theme": "a",
"overlayTheme": "b",
"class" : "ui-content"
}).popup("open");
} // end showPopup
ok, so i finally figured it out. was 100% my fault (as expected). i was overriding some default JQM css, and of course it caused the error. on another part of the page i had to try to fit 3 buttons on the same row, and had used the following to do it.
.ui-btn{
font-size:12px;
}
(originally: 1em)
That shrunk the buttons enough to fit that other requirement, but that also caused the close button to not show properly (as you can see below it was missing the outer border). Thus, I'm guessing it was just a weird offset/padding/etc error caused by the differing font-size that was the reason behind the clicks not registering or being handled properly.
(insert advice to never override jqm css)
thanks!

Unable to focus Input element inside a Bootstrap Popover inside a jQuery UI Dialog

I am having a difficult time getting this to work. I have a link that opens a jQuery UI Dialog which contains links. Those links open a Bootstrap popover which contain an input field. For some reason, the input field is not editable.
See: http://www.bootply.com/Z46ZXA133U
Markup :
<div id="dialog">
<a data-placement="bottom" data-toggle="popover" data-title="Login" data-container=".ui-front" type="button" data-html="true" href="#" id="login">Login</a>
</div>
<form id="popover-content" style="display:none">
<input type="text" value="try changing me">
</form>
Script :
$( "#dialog" ).dialog({
height: 300,
width: 350,
modal: true,
});
$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
html: true,
content: function() {
return $('#popover-content').html();
}
});
This is because you have
data-container="body"
on your popover. At the same time, ui-widget-overlay and ui-front covers the body area entirely, preventing clicks and keyboard events from being "sent" from body to the popover.
Change to
data-container=".ui-front"
and you are good. Forked bootply -> http://www.bootply.com/AXpc6PKuSO
in my case change data-container="body" to .ui-front did not help!
But the direction is right
I get modal body container selector and use them!
container: '#myModal-2 > section > div.modal-dialog > div',
Try to explain: if you use container='body' and use modal then modal overlay is blocking focus on body elements

How to make Drop down panel in jQuery mobile 1.4.0?

I have the following Panel in my jQuery mobile app , I want to make it to be drop down as appears in the following image rather than to be slide from the page edge . Is this can be done in jQuery mobile and How can i do this ?
<div data-role="page" id="MainPage" >
<div data-role="panel" id="Mainnavpanel" data-theme="b" data-display="overlay" data- position="right" data-position-fixed="true">
<ul data-role="listview"><li>
<a href="#MainPageheader" data-rel="close" class="ui-btn" >Close</a></li>
<li>Page1</li>
<li>Page2</li>
<li>Page3</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div data-role="header" id="MainPageheader" data-position="fixed" data-tap- toggle="false" data-fullscreen="false">
<div> <font size="6px"> Main Page </font></div>
</div>
<div data-role="content" >
//content
</div>
</div>
You can use popup widget to simulate dropdown menu.
As of jQuery Mobile 1.4, a new attribute data-arrow is added to popup widget. This creates an arrow which can be positioned anywhere in popup.
Arrow:
The popup can display an arrow along one of its edges when it opens if the data-arrow attribute is set. The attribute can take a value of true, false, or a string containing a comma-separated list of edge abbreviations ("l" for left, "t" for top, "r" for right, and "b" for bottom). For example, if you set data-arrow="r,b" then the arrow will only ever appear along the bottom or right edge of the popup. true is the same as "l,t,r,b" and false or "" indicates that the popup should be displayed without an arrow.
HTML
<div data-role="popup" id="popupID" data-arrow="t">
<!-- content -->
</div>
Add data-rel="popup" to button to call popup.
Menu
To modify arrow's size, check this link.

jquery ui icons, hover not working

I'm trying to put a help icon from jquery ui next to a input field. I get a button with a question mark but no effect when I hoover over it.
<span class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-icon ui-icon ui-icon-help"></span>
Also, the questionmark is not yellow like is not yellow like it is in the demo. I have all the files.
What am I missing?

Sharing an element between jQuery UI tabs?

I'm using jQuery UI's tabs to divide content on my page. I have a 'link bar' I would like to have hang at the bottom of each tab. (The tab text will change but generally they will navigate the user left or right through tabs.)
Hosting the #linkBar div inside the first tab makes it 'look' right, inside Themeroller's border. Putting it just outside the 'parent tab' div places the links below the theme's border. I've tried creating a spacer div but it just pushes #linkBar down further.
Of course when the user switches to another tab, the link bar goes away. How is ownership of elements organized between tabs? Should I dynamically destroy the #linkBar div on the tab being navigated away from and rebuild it in the tab being navigated to? Or is there a better way to move it between them, or just manage visibility?
I would like to have the link bar follow the content on each tab as a footer, 'floating' one or two lines below the last content of each tab (rather than having it in a fixed position relative to the tab bar).
Ok ... It was simply adding the jQuery UI classes to the linkBar. Check out my working jsFiddle demo:
I moved the linkBar div out of the tabOne div and put it at the bottom of the tabs div:
<div id="container">
<div id="title">
<h1>title bar</h1>
</div>
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ul>
<div id="tabone">
content goes here
<br><br><br><br>more stuff<br><br><br>more stuff<br><br>
</div>
<div id="tabtwo">
content goes here...
</div>
<div id="tabthree">
content goes here...
</div>
<div id="linkBar">
<span id="leftLink"><< left link</span>
<span id="rightLink">right link >></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I slightly altered the linkBar style by giving it a top and bottom margin as well as hiding it by default:
#linkBar {
display: none;
margin: 10px auto;
}
Then I simply added the jQuery UI classes to the $linkBar. I slightly altered the jQuery to be more readable:
$("#accordion").accordion({ header: "h3" });
var $tabs = $("#tabs"),
$linkBar = $("#linkBar");
$linkBar.addClass("ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom");
$linkBar.show();
$tabs.tabs();
$('#title').click(function() {
$tabs.tabs('select', 0);
return false;
});
Note: You could just add class="ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom" to the linkBar div and be done with it. But, I think I like it better managed in the JS.
