I have a page with an accordion that contains search criteria. Once a person clicks the search button, the criteria closes (I simulate a click on the accordion heading). This works great.
The problem is when there the user provides invalid input, my AJAX call returns and I attempt to show the search criteria again before the accordion finished closing (again with a simulated click on the accordion heading). This of course fails to open the search criteria.
A simple example of this would be double clicking on the accordion heading. Nothing happens if the accordion is in transition during this double click.
How to avoid this in my situation? NOTE: It seems to be more of a problem in Chrome/FF than in IE as IE does not animate the accordion open/collapse.
Basic idea from the code where #section1 represents the accordion heading:
$("#section1").click();
//some very fast AJAX.
$("#section1").click();

Call stop on the children of the accordion:
$("#accordion").children().stop(true, true);
http://jsfiddle.net/gGaJn/9/
Use async: false parameter in your Ajax call. This will let the Ajax call finish executing before the second click.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
Or you can perform the second click in the success function:
$.ajax({
success: function (data) {
$("#section1").click();
},
...
});

I have a need to capture an event (like a click) on a object that is elsewhere on the page and not a child of the select2 object while the select2 object has focus and is showing results. When the select2 results object is focused, I cannot click on a button/anchor elsewhere on the page and have it perform its action. It merely closes the select2 object.
Is there a way to do this? Here is a demo that shows this behavior: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/JoJobW
<!-- Javascript snippet -->
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#e1").select2();
$("#e2").click(function(){
alert("click!");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
<!-- HTML snippet -->
<select id="e1"></select>
Click here when select2 is focused
Using select2 v3.5.2 and jQuery 1.11.0
Select2 places a "mask" element behind the drop-down that captures the mouse click. Others have complained about this.
Here is a jsfiddle that shows the mask element.
You could try to remove the mask element when the drop-down is opened.
$('#e1').select2().on('select2-open', function() {
$('.select2-drop-mask').remove();
});
Of course, this means the drop-down will not close when the user clicks off of it, but you could add an event handler on the document (or body) to do that.
$(document).click(function() {
$("#e1").select2('close');
});
You have to make sure the click event on the other element does not propagate to the document in that case.
$('#e2').click(function() {
alert('click!');
return false; // Prevent default action and stop propagation.
});

I am using jQuery tabs, each tab has variable heights.
When I select a tab I need to refresh the content in a div to accomodate the window scroll appearing/disappearing.
Looking at the API documentation for the tabs plugin there is load event and a select event. I cannot seem to find any other events I can plug into.
The load event works fine but when selecting a tab that is already loaded the select event fires before the content is displayed.
$("#tabs").tabs({
cache: false,
select: function (e, ui) {
// running the event here will not work as it runs before the content is diplayed
},
load: function (event, ui){
// running it here works ok as it fires the event after the content is displayed
}
});
I need the event to fire after the content is displayed.
Is there an event I can plug into for this particular behaviour?
The JqueryUI 1.8 API documentation describes the show and select events.
If show doesn't work, then perhaps configuring a timer in the select handler to refresh the div a few milliseconds later will do the trick.
I have a page where I need to show/hide divs based on what button the user clicks. In the page, I have two divs (divBranchList and divGrowerList) and two buttons (btnBranch and btnGrower). I am using the following code to show/hide the divs.
$(document).bind('pageinit', function () {
alert("here");
$("#divBranchList").hide();
//show hide lists
$("#btnGrower").click(function () {
$("#divGrowerList").show();
$("#divBranchList").hide();
});
$("#btnBranch").click(function () {
$("#divBranchList").show();
$("#divGrowerList").hide();
});
});
While this works perfectly when the page loads or if I refresh the page, but fails to work when the user clicks on a listitem and the page comes back from the server after getting some data. The page has both lists visible although if I put a breakpoint at the following line in Firebug's script panel, it does get hit.
$("#divBranchList").hide();
Any ideas why the div is not hiding or how to make it work?
If you're showing and hiding content in a JQueryMobile page, you will probably need to trigger the UpdateLayout event
$("#divBranchList").trigger("updatelayout");
after you've done your showing / hiding...
So, I am using jQuery Mobile and I'd like to animate individual elements on a page change both before and after the change. I set transitions to "none" in jQuery moblie then try to add class to css3 animate individual elements. It works on pagechange, so when you go to a new page the transition on the elements appears, but pagebeforechange happens to quickly and the animation is lost. Is there a way to make the pagebeforechange function wait until the animation is done then go on to the next page? preventDefault(); stops the page from changing at all. I need like a call back or deferred obj or something? If I call changepage in pagebeforechange after the animation is done...the function runs recursively :(
transitions: function(){
$(document).bind( "pagebeforechange", function( e, data ) {
$('.search_words li').addClass('animated flipInX');
});
$(document).bind( "pagechange", function( e, data ) {
$('.search_words li').addClass('animated flipInX');
});
},
Thanks in advance!
you could try pageshow instead of pagebeforechange. Beaucse pageshow is fired before the pagechange event
I currently use jTemplates to create a rather large table on the client, each row has a button that will open a jQuery UI dialog. However, when I scroll down the page and click on one of those buttons, jQuery dialog will open, but the scroll position get lost and the page jumps back to the top (with the blocking and the actual dialog showing off the screen). Has anyone seen or know what might cause this problem?
Thanks.
Are you using an anchor tag to implement the "button" that pops the dialog? If so, you'll want the click handler that opens the dialog to return false so that the default action of the anchor tag isn't invoked. If you are using a button, you'd also need to make sure that it doesn't submit (by returning false from the handler) and completely refresh the page.
For example,
$('a.closeButton').click( function() {
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
return false;
});
<a class='closeButton'>Close</a>
If your buttons work with an html anchor tag with href="#" replace the href for example by href="javascript:;" or any other method that you use to disable the href. The reason why the scrolling happens is because of href="#" scrolls to the top of your page.
change your code like this
$('a.closeButton').click( function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#dialog').dialog('open');
});
You can try :
scrollTo(0, jQuery("body"));
