Jquery Mobile - Script page navigation / Transition - jquery-mobile

Is it possible to trigger a page navigation/transition via code rather than a physical button using JQuery Mobile - I need a script to re-direct a page according to logic and would like it to navigate using the flow transition.
Cheers

Yes! It is possible using $.mobile.changePage('URL', { options } );
Go through the link

$.mobile.changePage('URL', { options } ); is deprecated now. http://api.jquerymobile.com/jQuery.mobile.changePage/
The proper way would be to use:
$.mobile.navigate("#bar", {transition: "slide", info: "info about the #bar hash"});
$.mobile.pageContainer.pagecontainer("change", "target", {transition: "flow", changeHash: false, reload: true})
Just thought I'd answer this question from what I've learnt from the other threads.
I don't have enough reputation to put up the rest of the links. Just search the code up on Google to find their respective StackOverflow threads.

jquery ui 1.10.2 tabs - link to a tab from another page or website

I'm using the most recent JQuery UI Tabs (1.10.2). http://jqueryui.com/tabs/
I need to be able to link to individual tabs from external pages. Maybe the more correct way to say it would be to say that I need to be able to change the initially active tab via a bookmarble link.
I know how to set the active index so that #tabs-3 is the active tab
$( "#tabs" ).tabs({ active: 5 });
But I need to know how to change the value for .tabs({ active }) with the url hash so that a link of "tabs-page.html#tabs-3" will load the third tab of "tabs-page.html" by changing .tabs({ active }) to "2" (since it is a zero-based integer).
I'm really more of an html/css designer and a novice to JQuery/JQuery UI, please and thank you for your help. I've searched and found fixes for earlier versions and alternate libraries like JQuery Tools, but nothing for JQuery 1.10.2. I've found ways to link to the section and then reset the window location, but that results in a lot of "jumpiness" as the browser switches between window locations. If there is another page with this fix please link in the comments. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
You will need to read the value of the hash within your jQuery. Some good information can be found here Getting URL hash location, and using it in jQuery
var url = "http://site.com/file.htm#3";
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#',''); // '3'
Once you have this, you will be able to set the active tab on the jqueryUI Tabs
$('#tabs').tabs( "option", "active", hashValue );
You would need to do all of this when the page initially loads, so within a $(function(){ ... });
Update
Here is the full code;
<script>
$(function () {
// run the jquery ui plugin
$('#tabs').tabs();
// grab the url
var url = document.URL;
// grab the value of the hash
var hashValue = url.substring(url.indexOf('#')).replace('#', '');
// check to make sure it is a number
if (!isNaN(hashValue)) {
// set the active tab
$('#tabs').tabs("option", "active", hashValue);
}
});
</script>

Closing jQuery Mobile new popup cause page to refresh uselessly

I'm using the new jqm popup with the 1.2.0 alpha release and my problem is that my page from which I call the popup is refreshed uselessly when closing the popup using esc key or clicking on the screen... This refresh happen only the first time I close it. If I reopen and close again the popup the page is not refreshed...
It seems that for some reason jqm history mecanism get messed up....
It don't seem to be a built-in feature because this does not happen for any popup in the jqm demo page.
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks
Etienne
I had a similar problem and, as I did not need to use history in my case, I solved it disabling globally popup history like this:
$.mobile.popup.prototype.options.history = false;
Found this post while having a similar problem on IE11 with jQuery Mobile 1.4.5
I found that I could prevent the "reload" when closing the popup by declaring the popup with the data-history="false" attribute in my HTML.
Ex:
...
Per my comment, here's a temporary workaround to the issue. Just appropriately bind to the navigate event and call preventDefault. This will prevent the reloading of the page. I ended up binding to the popupafterclose, only when it's been opened:
$('.my-popup-selector').on('popupafteropen', function () {
$(this).one('popupafterclose', function () {
$(window).one('navigate.popup', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
});
I had a similar problem and I fixed it with using history: false:
$("#selector").popup({ transition: 'slidedown', history: false, overlay: true });
$("#selector").popup("open");
Add data-history="false" to popup div. thus when popup closes it doesn't redirect to another page .

jquery mobile, pgaechange and pageload not work

I am trying to use ajax to load sometag , but my appended code is not being enhanced by JQM.
I tried $(this).trigger('create') and $(this).trigger('updatelayout') but It still not working.
Then I tried to call ajax by function jquery mobile support: $.mobile.changePage()
my code:
$.mobile.changePage({url:'/', data:'add_new_tag=true', type:'GET'}, 'slide', false, true)
in action index: I render 'index.html'
I have checked it in firebug and see response is right (expected) . But I see nothing change in my browser.
Did I miss something ? I hope to recieve your help . Thank you :D
I have never been able to get the trigger('create') method to work for me either. Maybe someone else *cough (Jasper) can help me out with that part of the answer. I may be able to help you with your changPage code though.
Try this for changePage instead:
$.mobile.changePage( '/',{
data: "add_new-tag=true",
type: "get",
transition: "slide"
});

jQuery / jQuery UI - $("a").live("click", ...) not working for tabs

So I have some jQuery UI tabs. The source code is as follows:
HTML:
<div class="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Ranges</li>
<li>Collections</li>
<li>Designs</li>
</ul>
<div id="ranges"></div>
<div id="collections"></div>
<div id="designs"></div>
</div>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tabs").tabs();
});
My problem is that I am trying to make each tab load a page into the content panel on click of the relevant link. To start with I am just trying to set the html of all the panels on clicking a link. From the code below, if I use method 1, it works for all links. However if I use method 2 it doesn't - but only for the links in the tabs (i.e. the labels you click to select a tab).
Method 1 (works for all links all the time, but would not be applied to links which are added after this is called):
$("a").click(function () {
$("#ranges, #collections, #designs").html("clicked");
});
Method 2 (works for all links which are not "tabified"):
$("a").live("click", function () {
$("#ranges, #collections, #designs").html("clicked");
});
Does anyone know why it is behaving like this? I would really like to get method 2 working properly as there may well be links which I need to add click events to which are added after the page is originally loaded.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
PS yes the function calls for .live and .click are both in the $(document).ready() function, before anyone says that that may be the problem - otherwise it wouldn't work at all..
Edit:
The solution I came up with involves an extra attribute in the anchors (data-url) and the following code (which outputs a 404 not found error if the page cannot be loaded). I aim to expand this over the next few weeks / months to be a lot more powerful.
$(".tabs").tabs({
select: function (event, ui) {
$(ui.panel).load($(ui.tab).attr("data-url"), function (responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
switch (XMLHttpRequest.status) {
case 200: break;
case 404:
$(ui.panel).html("<p>The requested page (" + $(ui.tab).attr("data-url") + ") could not be found.</p>");
break;
default:
$(ui.panel).html("<p title='Status: " + XMLHttpRequest.status + "; " + XMLHttpRequest.statusText + "'>An unknown error has occurred.</p>");
break;
};
});
}
});
I don't know if I understand what you are going for but basically you want to do something once a tab is clicked?
Here's the docs for setting up a callback function for selecting a tab.
EDIT: Don't know if that link is working correctly, you want to look at select under Events. But basically it is:
$("#tabs").tabs({
select: function(event, ui) { ... }
});
Where ui has information on the tab that was clicked.
jQuery UI tabs has an outstanding issue where return false; is used instead of event.preventDefault();. This effectively prevents event bubbling which live depends on. This is scheduled to be fixed with jQuery UI 1.9 but in the meantime the best approach is use the built in select event as suggested by #rolfwaffle.
Maybe the tabs() plugin that you are using is calling event.preventDefault(); (Reference) once it has created it's tabs.
Then it captures the click event and the bubbling stops, so it doesn't invoke your click-function. In jQuery this is done with
$(element).click(function(){
// Do stuff, then
return false; // Cancels the event
});
You'd have to alter the tabs() plugin code and remove this return false; statement, OR if you are lucky, the plugin might have an option to disable that behavior.
EDIT: Now I see you're using jQuery UI. Then you should check the documentation there, since it is an awesome plugin, it will do anything you want if you do the html right and pass it the right options.

sIFR3 show text while loading

I am using sIFR3 on a website. I remember in sIFR2 you coul use this sIFR.bHideBrowserText = false; to show the text before sIFR kicks in.
How do you do this in sIFR3 and where do you put the code?
Thanks for your help.
C
The feature as it existed in sIFR 2 no longer exists in sIFR 3. You could achieve the same affect like this, though:
sIFR.autoInitialize = false;
sIFR.activate(movie);
sIFR.removeFlashClass();
sIFR.replace(movie, { selector: 'h1' });
window.onload = function(){
sIFR.setFlashClass();
sIFR.initialize();
};
Where, of course, movie is the appropriate variable that references the Flash movie. You might want to connect to the onload event through another JavaScript framework. You must wait until full page load, things like $(document).ready() (jQuery) will not work reliably cross-browser.
