Is there a way to use CSS3 to recreate the behavior of jQuery UI's Selectable interaction, specifically in a grid setup, as seen here?
Yes, this can be achieved by using a radio buttons :checked selector and the sibling selecter (+ or alternatively ~)
You essentially have radio buttons that the user can choose, but hide them, and use <label>'s with for="" attributes.
Demo
This doesn't let you drag or control click to select multiple boxes however, you would need javascript (and checkboxes rather than radio buttons) for that

I want to implement similar functionality to the jQuery UI Draggable & Sortable, but using Kendo UI.
This should allow me to drag from a list of options and place them within a sortable list.
Here is the jQuery UI functionality: http://jqueryui.com/draggable/#sortable
I want 2 panels, one with items that can be dragged and the other containing the dragged items. The closest thing I could find on Kendo UI is: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/sortable/linkedlists, but the items in the first list (on the left) are sortable and this moves the item from the first list.
I have looked at all of the Kendo UI samples on Teleriks website, but I cannot see any examples of how to do this.
Update:
I am now part way there. I have 2 sortable lists and I have added code to stop the 'draggable' items from sortable. However, when I drag an item to the 'sortable' list, it disappears from the 'draggable' list.
Here's the code I'm using to stop the items being sortable:
start: function() {
$("#draggable li").each(function() {
$(this).removeClass("sortable");
});
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kgjertsen/r4xmLevq/
Anyone able to tell me how to stop the items from disappearing?
After a lot of investigation, it turns out that you cannot link draggable with sortable, as you can with jQuery. You need to drop the item into the container, then sort it from its default place, which is at the bottom.
Telerik justify this with a statement saying that they cannot implement this behaviour as the controls cannot know about each other, as this is bad practice.
Personally, I think this is terrible and the functionality would be a great addition to the Kendo UI library.
I've been trying to create an horizontal radiobutton horizontal list, but somehow I don't get the same visual result as when done with the data-* attributes.
If I do it with code I get squared buttons, while using the attributes I get a nice rounded corner toolbar.
Here is the code I use for creating the button list:
$(element).controlgroup({ mini: true, type: "horizontal" });
which should be the same as the one I use with the data-* attributes:
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true">
I've posted a jsfiddle to show the result
http://jsfiddle.net/simonech/zeDt4/3/
Can someone shad some light on this strange behavior?
Thx
Simone
To make them look the same, try this:
$("#mycontrolbox").controlgroup({ mini: true, type: "horizontal"});
$("#mycontrolbox").attr("data-role", "controlgroup");
updated jsFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/zeDt4/4/
Now, why is this.
I think that jQuery mobile is actually not build upon jQuery UI even though it is currently very close. jQuery mobile is using those data-** attributes to select what is going to be a role of each tag. When the element is added to the html, jqm reads the content and based on what is in these data-role attributes, it decorates / replaces / the current content with its own. This is more about what is done to the element in order how it looks.
On the other hand, when you call
$("#mycontrolbox").controlgroup();
This does create a jQuery component allowing you to use the methods of that component. etc.
This is close to how the component behaves from the script point of view. This does not, however, add data-role attribute to the element itself.
I need to be able to dynamically replace the radio buttons in a controlgroup. I've come up with a solution, but I'm wanting to make sure I'm going about it the right way. Here's a jsFiddle.
Should I be manually modifying the classes after calling .checkboxradio() on each of the newly-created radio buttons, or is there a method in jQuery Mobile somewhere that will help me accomplish this?
Please note that the jsFiddle here works as I need it to. I'm asking if there's an easier (or more idiomatic) way to update the dynamically-created radio buttons' visual styles to conform to the controlgroup style.
Content should be added to the DOM before jquery mobile enhancement, for instance by binding to the page beforecreate event instead of the page pagebeforeshow. This way your content will be properly enhanced.
As for dynamic content, you can enhance it as soon as it has been inserted in the DOM. See this modified fiddle.
try this:
$('#creneauListPage #fieldcontain input').checkboxradio();
$('#creneauListPage #fieldcontain .ui-btn').removeClass('ui-btn-corner-all');
$('#creneauListPage #fieldcontain .ui-btn:first').addClass('ui-corner-top');
$('#creneauListPage #fieldcontain .ui-btn:last').addClass('ui-corner-bottom ui-controlgroup-last');
Is it possible to create a small checkbox / toggle like button using JQuery Mobile?
Placing them in a field set and set class=custom sort of does what I want, but I can't find a way to stretch the set so it fills 100% of the client width.
placing individual checkboxes in a grid with data-iconpos=center also sort of does it, but checkboxes don't quite support this mode.
Ideas?
Need 7 checkboxes horizontally. no text, just check or toggle.
Yes it is possible.
Make a sprite for the checkbox.
So when the image is "checked" showed checked sprite, and if it not, show the unchecked sprite.
The site http://jqueryui.com/demos/ describes how to set styles for buttons, radios, and checkboxes.
It can be achieved by
$(".saveButton").button(
{
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-disk"
}
});
So why not TextBoxes and DropDownLists? Can I apply the button like style to text boxes and drop down lists.
I suppose a logical answer for your question is that, the widget is called "button", not "form element". There is, however, a combobox demo for the autocomplete widget, that you might find useful. Here's another demo page with the combobox without autocomplete: http://jonathan.tang.name/files/jquery_combobox/demo.html.
You may also find the jQuery UI MultiSelect Widget useful; it's a jQuery UI plugin.
As for text boxes, you can simply reuse some classes in the jQuery UI CSS framework.
See a couple of examples here: http://jsfiddle.net/william/gJh2d/1/.
Also, dropdown lists are not like links or divs or other simpler html elements (form or otherwise) they tend to have default "lower level" implementations in the browser involved with their rendering. So its much harder to change the way they look. That's why a drop down list doesn't break down to simpler elements i.e. its not a textbox with a button next to it, its a complete "thing" / "control" in itself.
However, you can reclaim control (but I'd generally say usually better to work with what you get from browser here as you can see its not simple to fully control the style such elements.
