JQuery dialog display according to html - jquery-ui

The JQuery $('#dialog').html(htmlContent) displays the html as dialog's body .
I want to display it like twitter bootstrap modal approach .
For ex:
<div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header">
some content...
</div>
<div class='ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content'>
some content...
</div>
Now , at time displaying dialog the 'title-bar' div content should be display in dialog's title header and same for diloag body should show 'ui-dialog-content' divs content.
So is there is any way to show dialog with this approach..

This might do what you're trying to achieve:
$("#dialog").remove(); // Remove any existing dialog
var $html = '<div id="dialog"><div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header">' + headerContent + '</div>' +
'<div class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content">' + htmlContent + '</div></div>';
// Append modal HTML to the page
$("body").append( $html );
You'll need to dress it up with some CSS of course.

Navbar content loading all options

I have a navbar in Jquery mobile which have 5 contents, each content have a text right now. The problem is that the first time that I load the page, in the first tab all the content is loaded, and as soon as you start pressing the buttons, the content is loaded normally, as shown in the image below:
Then when I start clicking the buttons the content shows correctly:
Below is the code that I'm using:
Javascript:
<script>
(function($) {
// Before handling a page change...
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function(e, data)
{
// If the new page is not being loaded by URL, bail
if (typeof data.toPage !== "string")
{
return;
}
// If the new page has a corresponding navbar link, activate its content div
var url = $.mobile.path.parseUrl(data.toPage);
var $a = $("div[data-role='navbar'] a[href='" + url.hash + "']");
if ($a.length)
{
// Suppress normal page change handling since we're handling it here for this case
e.preventDefault();
}
// If the new page has a navbar, activate the content div for its active item
else
{
$a = $(url.hash + " div[data-role='navbar']").find("a.ui-btn-active");
// Allow normal page change handling to continue in this case so the new page finishes rendering
}
// Show the content div to be activated and hide other content divs for this page
var $content = $($a.attr("href"));
$content.siblings().hide();
$content.show();
});
})(jQuery);
Here is the HTML:
<body>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
<div data-role="navbar">
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Four</li>
<li>Five</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<center>
<div data-role="content">
<div id="oneContent">First</div>
<div id="twoContent">Second</div>
<div id="threeContent">Third</div>
<div id="fourContent">Fourth</div>
<div id="fiveContent">Fifth</div>
</div>
</center>
</div>
</body>
How can avoid the problem of loading all content at first load?
UPDATED TO ANSWER NEW REQUEST BELOW
If you want the first tab to show up by default, set the CSS of them all individually then toggle them into view.
First put this in your <head> or in a linked CSS file:
<style>[data-role=content] > div { display: none; }</style>
Then insert these two lines into your Javascript at the beginning like so:
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
var path = (window.location.hash) ? window.location.hash : '#oneContent';
$(path).show();
});
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function (e, data) {

How do I correctly render jQuery Mobile Tab widget items using KnockoutJS?

jsFiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/nAgfQ/2/ (See top of HTML section for explanation and workaround.)
Scenario
I'm using jQuery Mobile (1.4.2) and KnockoutJS (3.1.0) to build a very straightforward single-page tab-based web app for displaying data to business users.
Code
Here's the JS:
$(function () {
var Tab = function (Title, TabID) {
var self = this;
self.Title = ko.observable(Title);
self.TabID = ko.observable(TabID);
self.TabHref = ko.computed(function () {
return '#' + self.TabID();
});
};
function DashboardViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.Title = ko.observable();
self.DashboardID = ko.observable();
self.tabs = ko.observableArray([
new Tab("Tab 1", "tabs-1", []),
new Tab("Tab 2", "tabs-2", [])]);
self.refreshTabs = function () {
$('#tabs').tabs("refresh").tabs("option", "active", 0);
//Added to callback to convert navbar div into jQuery Mobile Navbar
$('#dashboard_navbar').navbar();
};
}
dvm = new DashboardViewModel();
ko.applyBindings(dvm);
});
Here's the body content of the page:
<body>
<div data-role="page" id="page-1">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>jQuery Mobile Tabs Test</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="tabs" id="tabs">
<div data-role="navbar" id="dashboard_navbar">
<ul data-bind="template { foreach : tabs }">
<li><a data-bind="attr : { href: TabHref } , text: Title" data-ajax="false"></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div data-bind=" template { foreach :tabs, afterRender: refreshTabs}">
<div data-bind="attr : { id: TabID }" class="ui-body-d ui-content">
<h4 data-bind="text: Title" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div></body>
Issue
When you have a Tab widget in jQuery Mobile, you are encouraged to declare an element to have a data-role attribute set to "navbar."
When jQuery renders the page, it looks for the first ul child element of the selected element, and reads the number of li elements underneath that ul.
It then uses this to add a class with the naming schema ul-grid-N, where N is the letter of the alphabet corresponding to the number of elements found minus 1 (i.e. ul-grid-a for 2 elements, ul-grid-b for 3, etc.) If there is only one element, it uses a special class ul-grid-solo.
However, when you use KnockoutJS to load a set of bound tabs, you just supply a single li element as a template underneath a foreach binding. jQuery Mobile only sees the 1 element and so adds the ul-grid-solo class and then the navbar li elements end up being rendered as stacked on top of one another instead of horizontally aligned.
Workaround
The solution I have so far is to remove the "navbar" data-role and instead use KnockoutJS's afterRender callback to convert the element into a navbar once all the bound tabs have been inserted. (See the *refreshTab*s function in the DashboardViewModel object.)
This works, but is less than ideal since it forces the ViewModel to know something about the View which is an MVVM no-no.
Questions
Can I tell jQuery Mobile to hold off applying the grid class to the navbar until after the bindings have been applied? I poked around its API but didn't see anything particularly useful.
Is there something I can do with Knockout's custom bindings? Again, trying not to inject any DOM manipulation into the ViewModel.
In general, any other workarounds, comments on the code, etc. would be appreciated.
Working with knockout and jQuery Mobile for a while, I can confirm that they simply do not play nice together. Our team has a list of re-usable knockout custom bindings just for working with jQuery mobile, because they're such a pain.
You could essentially wrap up the below workaround, or your own, into a custom binding that you'd use in place of foreach. Or subscribe to changes to the array of navbar items and update there.
Workaround based on your jsFiddle, trying to recreate the navbar, you have to also rip out the dynamic markup that jQuery mobile puts into the elements. Try adding this (source):
navbar.find("*").andSelf().each(function(){
$(this).removeClass(function(i, cn){
var matches = cn.match (/ui-[\w\-]+/g) || [];
return (matches.join (' '));
});
if ($(this).attr("class") == "") {
$(this).removeAttr("class");
}
});

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
</div>
</div>

Twitter hashtag

I want to add twitter hastag widget to my application how do I do it. the feature should ask the user to add teh hash tag of the particular thing and add it to his profile page, how do I do that.
Please suggest me the logic and implementation
I finally got the solution for this problem i was able to retrieve feeds from the twitter and post it on my web app, I search for particular hash tag and the feeds of that particular hash tag will be displayed
here is the code,
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() // don't do anything until the document is loaded.
{
$("#submit").click(function(event){ // wire up this as an onclick event to the submit button.
var searchTerm = $("#search").val() ; // get the user-entered search term
var baseUrl = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23";
$.getJSON(baseUrl + searchTerm + "&rpp=1500&callback=?", function(data) // call getJSON providing the complete url with search term and a JSONP callback
{
$("#tweets").empty(); // clear out any previous results.
if(data.results.length < 1) // friendly "no results"
$('#tweets').html("No results JOINEVENTUS");
$.each(data.results, function() // iterate over the results;
{
$('<div align="justify"></div>')
.hide()
.append('<img src="' + this.profile_image_url + '" width="80px" /> ')
.append('<span><a href="http://www.twitter.com/'
+ this.from_user + '">' + this.from_user
+ '</a> ' + makeLink(this.text) + '</span>')
.appendTo('#tweets') // append the constructed results HTML to the tweets div
.fadeIn(2000); // fade in the results over 2 seconds.
});
});
});
});
function makeLink(text) // this REGEX converts http(s) links that are embedded in the tweet text into real hyperlinks.
{
var exp = /(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&##\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&##\/%=~_|])/ig;
return text.replace(exp,"<a href='$1'>$1</a>");
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="margin-left:20%;margin-right:20%">
<div align="center">
<h2>Twitter tag search</h2>
<div>Enter Search Term</div>
<input type="text" id=search />
<input type="button" id=submit value="Search" />
<DIV id="tweets" />
</div>
</BODY>

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;
}
}
