I'm trying to build a simple accordion Polymer component. I have it working so when I click on an item in the list, an open class is added to the item which shows its contents.
I don't want to be able to have multiple items open at a time, so in my click function, I essentially want to say:
$(".list-item").on("click", function() {
$("list-item").removeClass("open");
$(this).addClass("open");
}
Of course this is in jQuery and not Dart...so that doesn't help me much.
What's the above equivalent in Dart?
Here's what I have working right now (just opens each clicked item, but doesn't close others in the process).
_openedChanged: function() {
if (this.opened) {
this.toggleClass('open', true);
}
else {
this.toggleClass('open', false);
}
this.setAttribute('aria-expanded', this.opened ? 'true' : 'false');
}
To remove a class from all list-item elements in Dart, you could do:
querySelectorAll('list-item').forEach((item) => item.classes.remove('open'));

jQuery UI menu inside a jqGrid cell
My specific implementation of a grid has to call setRowData in numerous places. When setRowData is called, the formatter for the column will get called, and will return the <button>s when the row rebuilds in response to the setRowData.
But in the Menu example, the formatting of the buttons (the calls to .button() and .buttonset()) occur on the loadComplete. Since loadComplete obviously does not run after the setRowData, the buttons in the column display unformatted. So, say we add a button to the body:
<button id="setRowData">Set Row Data</button>
and a click event in the $(function() {})
$("#setRowData").click(function() {
var $grid = $("#list");
var data = $grid.jqGrid('getRowData', 1);
data.name = "Changed!";
$grid.jqGrid('setRowData', 1, data);
});
If you click on the button, the "My Action" and "Bla Bla" buttons show up unformatted.
So, I am looking for an event which I can hang off the setRowData for when after the <button>s have been added to the dom, so I can call .button() and .buttonset() on them again. I want to use an event, since I have a generalized routine which is doing the setRowData (in another library altogether).
Okay, I dug through the JQGrid code, and noticed there was a jqGridAfterGridComplete getting called after the setRowData finishes. So I added a:
$("#list").on("jqGridAfterGridComplete", function() {
... call the .button code again
});
to the ready function, and the styles are applied again. There may be a better way, and please feel free to offer one. But this seems to work.
I'm writing my own ESC handler because I need to do other actions when ESC is pressed, specifically I need to manage where focus goes for keyboard-only users. I have it working for all menus and some dialogs (both of which are using jQueryUI) but I'm having problems with dialogs that open on top of other dialogs (confirmation dialogs).
I'm using a Backbone View and adding my keydown handler on dialogcreate. this.$el.on('dialogcreate', this.bindKeydownEvent);
My handler:
bindKeydownEvent: function(ev, ui) {
var self = this;
this.$el.dialog().on('keydown', function(evt) {
if(evt.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.ESCAPE) {
self.$el.dialog("close");
if(self.options.closeFocusEl) {
$(self.options.closeFocusEl).focus();
}
evt.stopPropagation();
}
});
}
I've checked and this.$el.dialog() is the correct dialog when the second dialog calls this.bindKeydownEvent but for some reason the keydown handler is not being triggered no matter what I press in the dialog (Tab, Space, Enter, random letters, etc).
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or have a better way I could bind the keydown event?
EDIT:
I just noticed that this is also happening in some first-level dialogs. It looks like the only difference is the way we get the template and therefore create the interior of the dialog. In our Alert and Confirmation dialog classes, we define the template as an attribute on the object like this: template: _.template("<div><%= o.content %></div>"). In other views (in which the keydown binding works) we build the child elements and add them to the DOM of the dialog, set the template in the initialize function
this.options.template = 'navigation/CreateNewDialog.template';
or set it when we call the dialog
var closeConv = new views.CloseConversationDialogView({
confirm: this.closeConversationConfirmed,
content: i18n.t("closeConversationInput"),
template: "conversation/CloseConversationDialog.template"
});
closeConv.render();
Is there a reason that creating the template inline as an attribute on the view would not bind keydown correctly?
To understand why your event handler isn't being triggered you need first understand how event delegation works.
The key to event delegation in that events bubble up the DOM. So when you bind your event using this.$el.dialog().on('keydown',..., what you basically doing is listening to any keydown event that is triggered on your $el or it's descendants. In this case being that your second dialog isn't a descendant of your $el it's events won't bubble up to it and therefore don't trigger your handler.
To work around this you can either bind directly to your second dialog, or instead bind to a exisitng higher level element like the document. For example
$(document).on('keydown', '.myDialog', function() {...
The only thing my original attempt was missing was "widget". The widget method, according to api.jqueryui.com,
Returns a jQuery object containing the generated wrapper.
I don't see any documentation on what exactly $('.selector').dialog() returns but apparently it is not the same as $('.selector').dialog("widget"). I also changed on('keydown'... to just use the jQuery keydown instead.
bindKeydownEvent: function(ev, ui) {
var self = this;
this.$el.dialog("widget").keydown(function(evt) {
if(evt.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.ESCAPE) {
self.$el.dialog("close");
if(self.options.closeFocusEl) {
$(self.options.closeFocusEl).focus();
}
evt.stopPropagation();
}
});
}
I have the following:
$(document).on("pageinit", function (event) {
alert("pageinit called");
$('#logout').bind('click', function() {alert("clicked!");});
});
The first time the page runs you get a single alert 'pageinit called'. Clicking the element with id #logout fires the alert 'clicked!'. If I click any other links in this page I still get the 'pageinit called' alert (and I get it multiple times, apparently for each page I have previously navigated as well) but subsequently the handler for #logout is gone and never never re-established.
Can anyone tell me how I can get the handler for #logout to remain? I've tried:
$('#logout').die('click').live('click', function() {alert("clicked!");});
to no avail.
After looking more closely (and as commented by Omar), this problem is caused by a combination of the jquery mobile paging system AND trying to attach to a 'single' element by id.
In my case each time I clicked a link within the page it would load into the jqm paging system a separate page, each one containing its own #logout element. My solution was to query for all the buttons and attach handlers to each one:
var buttons = $("*[id='logout']");
buttons.each(function() {
// handle click or whatever here
});
Instead of:
var button = $('#logout'); // Only hooks into the first #logout element
How do you trigger jQuery UI's AutoComplete change event handler programmatically?
Hookup
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies,
change: handleCompanyChanged
});
Misc Attempts Thus Far
$("#CompanyList").change();
$("#CompanyList").trigger("change");
$("#CompanyList").triggerHandler("change");
Based on other answers it should work:
How to trigger jQuery change event in code
jQuery Autocomplete and on change Problem
JQuery Autocomplete help
The change event fires as expected when I manually interact with the AutoComplete input via browser; however I would like to programmatically trigger the change event in some cases.
What am I missing?
Here you go. It's a little messy but it works.
$(function () {
var companyList = $("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
change: function() {
alert('changed');
}
});
companyList.autocomplete('option','change').call(companyList);
});
this will work,too
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source : yourSource,
change : yourChangeHandler
})
// deprecated
//$("#CompanyList").data("autocomplete")._trigger("change")
// use this now
$("#CompanyList").data("ui-autocomplete")._trigger("change")
It's better to use the select event instead. The change event is bound to keydown as Wil said. So if you want to listen to change on selection use select like that.
$("#yourcomponent").autocomplete({
select: function(event, ui) {
console.log(ui);
}
});
They are binding to keydown in the autocomplete source, so triggering the keydown will case it to update.
$("#CompanyList").trigger('keydown');
They aren't binding to the 'change' event because that only triggers at the DOM level when the form field loses focus. The autocomplete needs to respond faster than 'lost focus' so it has to bind to a key event.
Doing this:
companyList.autocomplete('option','change').call(companyList);
Will cause a bug if the user retypes the exact option that was there before.
Here is a relatively clean solution for others looking up this topic:
// run when eventlistener is triggered
$("#CompanyList").on( "autocompletechange", function(event,ui) {
// post value to console for validation
console.log($(this).val());
});
Per api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/, this binds a function to the eventlistener. It is triggered both when the user selects a value from the autocomplete list and when they manually type in a value. The trigger fires when the field loses focus.
The simplest, most robust way is to use the internal ._trigger() to fire the autocomplete change event.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source : yourSource,
change : yourChangeHandler
})
$("#CompanyList").data("ui-autocomplete")._trigger("change");
Note, jQuery UI 1.9 changed from .data("autocomplete") to .data("ui-autocomplete"). You may also see some people using .data("uiAutocomplete") which indeed works in 1.9 and 1.10, but "ui-autocomplete" is the official preferred form. See http://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/#changed-naming-convention-for-data-keys for jQuery UI namespaecing on data keys.
You have to manually bind the event, rather than supply it as a property of the initialization object, to make it available to trigger.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies
}).bind( 'autocompletechange', handleCompanyChanged );
then
$("#CompanyList").trigger("autocompletechange");
It's a bit of a workaround, but I'm in favor of workarounds that improve the semantic uniformity of the library!
The programmatically trigger to call the autocomplete.change event is via a namespaced trigger on the source select element.
$("#CompanyList").trigger("blur.autocomplete");
Within version 1.8 of jquery UI..
.bind( "blur.autocomplete", function( event ) {
if ( self.options.disabled ) {
return;
}
clearTimeout( self.searching );
// clicks on the menu (or a button to trigger a search) will cause a blur event
self.closing = setTimeout(function() {
self.close( event );
self._change( event );
}, 150 );
});
I was trying to do the same, but without keeping a variable of autocomplete. I walk throught this calling change handler programatically on the select event, you only need to worry about the actual value of input.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies,
change: handleCompanyChanged,
select: function(event,ui){
$("#CompanyList").trigger('blur');
$("#CompanyList").val(ui.item.value);
handleCompanyChanged();
}
});
Well it works for me just binding a keypress event to the search input, like this:
... Instantiate your autofill here...
$("#CompanyList").bind("keypress", function(){
if (nowDoing==1) {
nowDoing = 0;
$('#form_459174').clearForm();
}
});
$('#search').autocomplete( { source: items } );
$('#search:focus').autocomplete('search', $('#search').val() );
This seems to be the only one that worked for me.
This post is pretty old, but for thoses who got here in 2016. None of the example here worked for me. Using keyup instead of autocompletechange did the job. Using jquery-ui 10.4
$("#CompanyList").on("keyup", function (event, ui) {
console.log($(this).val());
});
Hope this help!
Another solution than the previous ones:
//With trigger
$("#CompanyList").trigger("keydown");
//With the autocomplete API
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete("search");
