Customizing jQuery Mobile checkboxes labels - jquery-mobile

I've a <fieldset> of checkboxes with custom labels that contains both item names and descriptions, as you can see here:
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Zw823/
On the third checkbox I need to have a custom <input type="number" /> below description, which will be editable only if its checkbox is checked. Is it possible? I tried to put a <div data-role="fieldcontain"> with label+input below the <p>, but the <input/> number didn't display as expected... How can I achieve that goal? Thank you in advance!

This is how I managed to do what you want. The trick is to load the jquery scripts at the bottom of the page, so you don't have to call trigger('create') and break your code.
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" >
<label for="check-1" >
<a class="ui-li-heading" href="">Service 1</a>
<p class="ui-li-desc">Lorem ipsum text</p>
</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="check-1" data-iconpos="left">
</fieldset>
<!-- rest of your data-role="page" -->
</div> <!-- end of page -->
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-mobile.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Jquery external panel content not appearing correctly

I'm making a multi-page web app. I want it to have a left and right panel that are available no matter what page you're on. I managed to do that but the contents don't seem like they have the jQuery CSS rules applied to them. I did
$("[data-role=panel]").panel().enhanceWithin();
And that made my panel work... kinda of the labels for my check marks aren't formatted like they were when the panel wasn't external. I guess I'll just put the code up. I swear I've searched this site forever trying to find answers.
$(function () {
$("[data-role=panel]").panel().enhanceWithin();
});
<div data-role="panel" id="RoomInfoPanel" data-display="overlay" data-theme="b" data-position="right" data-dismissible=false>
<div data-role="main" class="ui-content">
<h2 id="roomNumberHeader">Panel Header..</h2>
<p class="main" id="CrewText">Crew Assigned:</p>
<select id="selectCrew" >
<option>Select Crew</option>
</select>
<div id="cblist" style="display:inline">
<label for="#compChk" class="ui-content">Completed</label>
<input type="checkbox" value="first checkbox" id="compChk" />
<input type="checkbox" value="first checkbox" id="paidChk" />
<label for="#paidChk">Paid</label>
</div>
<div data-role="main">
Edit Crews
</div>
</div>
</div>
Remove # in for attribute. It should be for="checkboxID" without hash.

scrollbar won't go away in jquery mobile

I'm using jQuery Mobile and no matter how much content is on the page there is always a scrollbar that appears to the right. Even turning on overflow-hidden doesn't make it go away. The page has nothing but a header, a link, and a panel. How can it be removed?
The HTML is roughly as follows:
<body>
<!-- Document framework -->
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="panel" id="toolmenu" data-theme="a">
<form>
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>Select Tool:</legend>
<input name="radio-choice-v-2" id="radio-choice-v-2a" value="on" checked="checked" type="radio">
<label for="radio-choice-v-2a">One</label>
<input name="radio-choice-v-2" id="radio-choice-v-2b" value="off" type="radio">
<label for="radio-choice-v-2b">Two</label>
<input name="radio-choice-v-2" id="radio-choice-v-2c" value="other" type="radio">
<label for="radio-choice-v-2c">Three</label>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
<div data-role="header">
<h1>TITLE</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
Stuff<br />
Open panel link
</div>
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
Footer
</div>
</div>
</body>
Thanks.
I solved the problem. The issue was that I had the css files in the wrong order. When you are using a custom theme with jquery mobile, you have to have the css files in a particular order--namely, your themeroller-created custom theme has to come BEFORE the jquery mobile css, and you have to use jquery.mobile.structure-1.4.2.min.css (or the equivalent for whatever version you are using anyway), not the full css file.

How can I add a text box beside the label for checkbox using jquery mobile?

How can I add a text box beside the label for checkbox using jquery mobile? It should be in one line (checkbox --> label (for checkbox) --> textbox)
If you want to add a label in the same line as its referencing element, like for example:
My legend [ ] Checkbox label
you may want to try using field containers, with data-role="fieldcontain".
For example:
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>Agree to the terms:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-2" id="checkbox-2" class="custom" />
<label for="checkbox-2">I agree</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
The code above will give you:
Agree to the terms: [] I agree
Check the online doc for more information: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.1/docs/forms/checkboxes/
Now, if you want to several elements on one line (= several elements in different columns), I mean more than just a label and its element, you may wanna check the jQuery Mobile's Layout grids: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.1/docs/content/content-grids.html
Considering your example case, I think you may want to try to use a combination of the 2 methods above. So, you may try something like this:
<div class="ui-grid-a">
<!-- FIRST COLUMN -->
<div class="ui-block-a">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>Agree to the terms:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-2" id="checkbox-2" class="custom" />
<label for="checkbox-2">I agree</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
<!-- SECOND COLUMN -->
<div class="ui-block-b">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps.

Why am I getting this Javascript HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR with jQuery Mobile and Razor?

Dazed and confused here... The field in question is a boolean, and I want the UI to be a checkbox (or a yes/no or on/off jQuery slider). Each time I try to add in this checkbox input, I end up getting a
Microsoft JScript runtime error: DOM Exception: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR (3)
error.
Here's the HTML+Razor
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo, new { #type="checkbox" })
<label for="WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
Here's the generated HTML:
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input data-val="true" data-val-required="The WinByTwo field is required." id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="checkbox" value="False" />
<label for="WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
Apparently this error occurs when there are conflicting or overlapping id's as jQuery Mobile creates its checkbox widget
$.widget( "mobile.checkboxradio", $.mobile.widget, { ...etc...
But how do I use the HTML and/or razor to make a simple checkbox work in jQuery Mobile?
If the problem with jQuery Mobile really is duplicate names for the HTML tags, then you'll have to render your own input type=checkbox tag in HTML, as the ASP.NET MVC Html.CheckBoxFor helper method will render an input type=hidden tag with a duplicate name value. See this post for a discussion.
The hidden form tag is there because if you submit an unchecked checkbox to the server, the form value for that field isn't included. So a hidden input tag is included with value=false so that if the checkbox is unchecked, the value false is still submitted. The model binding process in MVC will filter out the duplicate form values for you, but if you're having a client-side problem with the duplicate name attributes, you'll have to render your own checkbox and label in HTML, then handle the fact that no value will be submitted for the HandicapSession.WinByTwo property when the box is unchecked. If no other property for HandicapSession is submitted, then that whole object will be null.
So, you can manually create the checkbox input and still load the checked and value attributes from your model, as desired, but you can run into model binding problems where the value for WinByTwo will still be false even when the box is checked.
Note also that the for attribute on your label doesn't match the ID of the checkbox in your sample. You need the full HandicapSession_WinByTwo.
The following manually creates the input tags:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.js"></script>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" #(Model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo ? "checked=checked" : "") value="#(Model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo.ToString().ToLower())" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The HTML output is as follows for a checked checkbox on load:
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" checked=checked value="true" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The best would be just to use the MVC helper methods, so I'm not sure if you'd tried the following. The default Html.CheckBoxFor and Html.LabelFor helper methods work with jQuery Mobile 1.0a4.1 or 1.1.0 just fine. The following works for me:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.js"></script>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HandicapSession.WinByTwo)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.HandicapSession.WinByTwo, "Win By Two?")
<input type="submit" id="SubmitForm" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</div>
}
</div>
</div>
This produces the HTML output:
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<form action="/Mobile/Mobile" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input checked="checked" data-val="true" data-val-required="The WinByTwo field is required." id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="checkbox" value="true" />
<input name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="hidden" value="false" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
<input type="submit" id="SubmitForm" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Fix might be pretty simple.
Choice 1: Go scorched earth and turn off Ajax based navigation. This will ensure that unique IDs stay unique. This will ensure that you never encounter this issue again. Only downside is that you lose the pretty little transitions from page to page (someone call the whambulance). You can do this by setting up a global configuration script...
script src="jquery.js"
script src="custom-scripting.js"
script src="jquery-mobile.js"
inside that you'll override the ajax settings to disable them...
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
});
Choice 2: Call pages that are going to require this uniqueness with a link that has an attribute of rel='external' or target='_black' which will accomplish the same thing without disabling all ajax based navigation. If you are reaching the page as a results of a form post, you can use data-ajax='false' on the form tag to accomplish a clean load.

JQueryMobile not styling a Checkbox in Dialog

I am opening a page as a dialog. This dialog does not style the checkbox correctly.
Tried using checkboxradio("create"); but no joy.
How do I get the checkbox to style correctly in the Dialog box??
Here's a jsFiddle with the code.
You need to put the checkbox in a div with the proper markup
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>Agree to the terms:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox-1" id="checkbox-1" class="custom" />
<label for="checkbox-1">I agree</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/shanabus/8xMX2/12/
Based on the example in the docs here: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/docs/forms/forms-checkboxes.html
I think you'll have to put the checkbox inside of a form tag in order to get jQuery Mobile to style it.
Looks like this might be a bug. Adding the <form> tag works but you also had create but needed refresh for the checkboxradio():
http://jsfiddle.net/8xMX2/11/
JS
$('#page2').live('pageshow', function(){
$("input[type='checkbox']").checkboxradio("refresh");
});​
HTML
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Page One</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
Open as Dialog
</div>
</div>
<div id="page2" data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
Back
<h1>Page Two</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<form>
This is a dialog Box.
JQM seems to be not styling the below checkbox.<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="cb1" id="cb1" />
<label for="cb1">A Checkbox</label>
<br>
A button is styled well.<br>
Just a Button
</form>
</div>
</div>​
