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>

I have been trying to implement the autocomplete and have come across a problem that has stumped me. The first time I call .autocomplete it all works fine and I have no problems. If, however, I call it after I have removed some (unrelated) elements from the DOM and added a new section to the DOM then autocomplete does nothing and reports no errors.
Code:-
$.ajax({
type : 'get',
dataType : 'json',
url : '/finance/occupations',
cache:true,
success:function(data){
occupationList = data;
$('.js-occupation').autocomplete({
source: occupationList,
messages: {
noResults: '',
results: function(){}
},
minLength : 2,
select:function(event, ui){
$('.js-occupationId').val(ui.item.id);
}
});
}
});
The background to this page is that it contains multiple sections that are manipulated as the user moves through them. Hide and show works fine and does not impact on the autocomplete. However, if I do the following:-
var section = $('.js-addressForm:last').clone();
clearForm(section);
$('div.addressDetails').append(section);
$('.js-addressForm:first').remove();
Which gives the user the bility to add multiple addresses on the previous section then the autocomplete stops working.
Any suggestions or pointers on something obvious I am missing?
I have tried to put the initialisation of the autocomplete on an event when the element gets focus and it still does not work.
You have to create the autocomplete after all other underlying objects. If you F12, you will see that the list is "visible", however it is below and hidden by all instances created after it.
If you created a div with inputs (one input being the autocomplete), then you create the automplete then the dialog instances, the autocomplete will never show. If you create the dialog then the autocomplete, no problem. The problem is the z-order
I have faced the same issue. For now to fix this, i'm creating widget on the input once input is in focus. It will help you solve the issue.
You can look for the help on
making sure some event bing only when needed
Sample code will look like this
$( "#target" ).focus(function() {
//I don't care if you manipulated the DOM or not. I'll be cautious. ;)
(function() {
$( "#combobox" ).combobox();
$( "#toggle" ).click(function() {
$( "#combobox" ).toggle();
});
})();
// use a flag variable if you want
});
This solved my problem. Hope its the solution you were looking f
This is my first time with jQuery Mobile and I'm actually using it from a WP theme I got. I understand that this might be theme related but I just want to make sure.
So, it is a Wordpress jQuery Mobile theme, you plug it and it works a treat. The thing is, I've converted the Wordpress menu from an UL to a SELECT.
I have then added some jQuery to fire the select on change by getting the value of the selected option. That works, I get the loading thinggy and then the page changes with my desired effect.
But I can't get the Select menu to show the current selected item. It always reverts to the first one.
I have used:
$('#main_menu').selectmenu("refresh");
$('#main_menu').selectmenu("refresh", true);
But nothing...
You can have a look at the site here: http://avatarblog.fl1hosting.com/ and look at the source.
You will see that my mobile event are all before the jQuery Mobile include, which doesn't make much sense to me, but if I put them afterwards, nothing works.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks
You need to set which option to show in the select menu. Try this,
$("#main_menu")[0].selectedIndex = 2; // this will select the 3rd in the menu list
$("#main_menu").selectmenu("refresh");
You can add the following script your header.php:
$(document)
.unbind("pageshow.initMenuBtn")
.bind("pageshow.initMenuBtn",
function() {
$.mobile.activePage = $("div.ui-page-active");
$("#main_menu", $.mobile.activePage)
.unbind("change")
.bind("change", function() {
var page = $(this).val();
$.mobile.changePage(page);
});
var selectedIndex = 0;
$("#main_menu>option", $.mobile.activePage).each(function(index) {
if ($(this).hasClass("current-menu-item")) {
selectedIndex = index;
}
});
$("#main_menu", $.mobile.activePage)[0].selectedIndex = selectedIndex;
$("#main_menu", $.mobile.activePage).selectmenu("refresh");
});
I defined my jQuery tabs like this:
$('#serviceTabs').tabs({
idPrefix: 'ui-subtabs-',
spinner: 'Retrieving data...',
cache: false,
select: function(event, ui) {
if(checkServiceTabs(ui.index))
{
$('#ui-subtabs-'+(currentDetailTab+1)).html(" ");
currentDetailTab = ui.index;
return true;
}
else
return false;
},
collapsible: true
});
Unfortunately after reloading my page the index of my tabs is raised incrementally.
So on first request my TabID's look like:
#ui-subtabs-1, #ui-subtabs-2, #ui-subtabs-3
after reloading my page it looks like:
#ui-subtabs-4, #ui-subtabs-5, #ui-subtabs-6
The side effect is, that the tabs are locked after reload. The select event doesn't work anymore.
FYI: The tabs are in a DIV and merged with $.get function.
So i don't reload the whole page but only the div.
Before the new request I already blank the div with .html(" ") and I also tried
$('#serviceTabs').tabs("destroy");
Does anybody have an idea how to delete the TabID cache ?
Unfortunately, the tabIndex variable from which the TabID is coming from is encapsulated in the anonymous function of the Tabs plugin, making it totally invisible to the outside world. It is only incremented and the plugin offers no method to be able to reset it. Even destroying the instance of the plugin would not help.
On the overview page of the plugin's documentation though, it is specified that the tab containers can be references using the Title attribute of the <a> elements serving as tab buttons.
You would have then this kind of markup for the tab buttons:
<li> ... </li>
This will create tab containers with the title as ID (replacing spaces with underscores):
<div id="My_Tab_1"> ... </div>
You would have then to modify you select method accordingly.
wasted my day while searching how to get selected options values in JQuery UI widget by Michael Aufreiter. Here's the link to his demo site and github: http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect/
As a result I just need value fields of selected options without POST/GET sendings to PHP script.
I tried many methods and resultless.
Need your help and ideas
*Found many topics about jquery ui multiselect but useless because of Aufreiter :s *
That should work. Tested with Chrome console
$("#countries").val();
I went to the site you've got listed above, and was able to run this in my chrome console:
$('.ui-multiselect .selected li').each(function(idx,el){ console.log(el.title); });
It seems like the values you want are stored in the title attributes of the list items within the div.selected element.
Edit:
Doh! Well of course you want the values. Sorry mate. Completely missed that. The real goods are stored in the jQuery data() objects. In this case, the key you want is 'optionLink'. It maintains a reference to an option element. Each list item in the '.selected' div used the jQuery.data() method to add the underlying option to it.
So, you need to get the selected list items, iterate through, grab the 'optionLink' from the data jQuery data store, and then get the value.
The following code works on the example page:
$('.ui-multiselect .selected li').each(function(idx,el){
console.log(el);
var link = $(el).data('optionLink');
// link now points to a jQuery wrapped <option> tag
// I do a test on link first. not sure why, but one of them was undefined.
// however, I got all four values. So I'm not sure what the first <li>
// is. I'm thinking it's the header...
if(link){
// here's your value. add it to an array, or whatever you need to do.
console.log(link.val());
}
});
This is the first I've seen of the multiselect. It's slick. But I sympathize with your frustration trying to get something out. A 'getSelectedOptions()' method would be nice.
Cheers
Try accessing the selected values on the close event.
e.g.
$("#dropdown").multiselect({
header: false,
selectedList : 1,
height: "auto",
}).multiselectfilter().bind("multiselectclose", function(event, ui) {
var value = $("#dropdown").val();
});
Hope that helps.
Best solution
$('#select').multiselect({
selectAllValue: 'multiselect-all',
enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering: true,
enableFiltering: true,
height: "auto",
close: function() {
debugger;
var values = new Array();
$(this).multiselect("getChecked").each(function(index, item) {
values.push($(item).val());
});
$("input[id*=SelectedValues]").val(values.join(","));
}
});
You can try this:
$('#ListBoxId').multiselect({
isOpen: true,
keepOpen: true,
filter: true
});
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.
