jQueryMobile Change listview's item attributes dynamically - jquery-mobile

I want to change dynamically (click event) a data-theme of a list item in a jQueryMobile listview. Firebug shows me that the change is performed but the list is not refreshed. (If I add elements it works, but with attribute changes the list won't be refreshed.) For example I want to change the data-theme from c to f when the item is clicked.
I tried everything I read in this forum, from trigger('mouseout') over trigger('create') on parents to refreshing the whole page, but no effect at all, so I guess I am blind to see something obvious. Maybe somebody can give me a hint... :)
<script>
function fillList() {
var li = '<li data-theme="c">List item</li>';
$("#alist").empty().append(li).promise().done(function () {
$(this).off("click").on("click", ".info", function (e) {
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
var theLiElem = $(this).closest('li');
theLiElem.attr('data-theme','f').trigger('mouseout');
theLiElem.trigger("create");
});
$(this).listview("refresh");
});
}
$(document).on("pageinit", "#info-page", function () {
fillList();
});
</script>
<div data-role="page" id="info-page">
<div data-role="content">
<ul data-role="listview" id="alist" data-inset="true">
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Kind regards,
Steve

jQuery Mobile - Make only certain part of collapsible widget active

does anyone know of a way to make only a certain part of a collapsible widget actually toggle the collapsible part? I have been trying to figure this out for hours and can't seem to get it.
Basically, I don't want a whole <li> to trigger the expand/collapse, but only a small area on the right.
Thanks.
This is my solution:
block default events
create a clickable element on the right side
manage expand/collapse status
HTML
<div data-role="page" id="page">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-collapsed="true">
<h1>Title <span class="clickme">Click me</span></h1>
<h5>Content</h5>
</div>
<div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-collapsed="true">
<h1>Title <span class="clickme">Click me</span></h1>
<h5>Content</h5>
</div>
<div data-role="collapsible" data-inset="false" data-collapsed="true">
<h1>Title <span class="clickme">Click me</span></h1>
<h5>Content</h5>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript
$(document).on("pagecreate", "#page", function()
{
$("[data-role=collapsible] a").on("click", function()
{
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
});
$(".clickme").on("click", function()
{
var element = $(this).closest("[data-role=collapsible]");
if (element.attr("data-collapsed") == "true")
{
element.attr("data-collapsed", "false");
element.collapsible("expand");
}
else
{
element.attr("data-collapsed", "true");
element.collapsible("collapse");
}
});
});
JSFiddle
So there were a few things I was doing incorrectly, helpfully pointed out by Sga.
You can't use vclick. For whatever reason, this jQM plugin isn't using an established jQM event to handle it's stuff. I was previously listening to the vclick event:
$parent.on('vclick', '[data-role=collapsible] a', function() {});
You can't bind the thing you want to prevent default on on a parent. For example:
$parent.on('click', '[data-role=collapsible] a', function() {});
That doesn't work, you have to bind it after the elements are rendered a la:
$('.collapse-target', $list).on('click', function() {});
After doing all that, which totally isn't optimal, I was able to achieve the effect I wanted. It's too bad this feature wasn't included out of the box for the collapsible widget. Hopefully this helps someone.

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

autodividersSelector of jquery mobile listview not working

I'm trying to use the autodividersSelector option of a jquery-mobile listview as described in the "Autodividers" section of the List views section of the jquery-mobile documentation.
The list renders fine, but no dividers whatsoever. The function assigned to autodividersSelector just never gets called.
There are some other complexities here like jsrender and such, so I'm leaving them intact, but you'll see them below and I don't expect they are part of the problem. What am I missing?
Relevant code below:
<div data-role="page" id="myListPage">
<div data-role="content">
<ul id="myListView"
data-role="listview"
data-autodividers="true"
>
</ul>
</div><!-- /content -->
</div><!-- /page -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#myListPage" ).on("pagebeforecreate", function(event) {
renderTemplates();
});
function renderTemplates() {
var data = {
testItems: [
{name:1},
{name:2},
{name:3},
]
};
$('#myListView').html(
$('#myTemplate').render(data)
);
}
/********** FORMATTING **********/
$("#myListPage").on("pagecreate", function (event) {
console.log("pagecreate");
$("#myListView").listview({
autodividers: true,
autodividersSelector: function (li) {
console.log("autodividersSelector");
var out = "hi"; //var out = $(li).find("h3").text;
return out;
}
});
$("#myListView").listview("refresh");
});
/********** FORMATTING **********/
</script>
<script id="myTemplate" type="text/x-jsrender">
{{for testItems}}
<li><a href="#">
<h3>Name: {{:name}}</h3>
<p>Test: {{:name}}</p>
</a></li>
{{/for}}
</script>
The document you linked to is experimental. You are trying to implement something that isn't quite finished yet. Notice how the url says test.

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();
});

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;
}
}
