I am using a twitter jquery plugin to display a list (ul/li) of twitter posts .
Also I want my users to be able to rearrange the posts as they want and I want the moved post to be marked.
I saw a post here how to do so.
If I use this the selectable function doesn't work(I can rearrange but can't select):
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".ul_sortable" ).sortable().selectable();
});
If I use this the sortable function doesn't work(I can select but cant re arrange):
$(".ul_sortable" ).sortable().selectable();
The key is to use the sortable handle option as shown in the link to the other question.
Sortable and selectable both take over the mouse events for the items they are applied to, however the handle option allows you to apply the sorting to a part of the item therefor allowing selectable to work on the rest of the item.
It should also be noted that selecting a bunch of items then sorting them all together is not natively supported.
For marking if an item is moved you can use a variety of sortable events such as stop and change docs

I am trying to create a page that shows a table that contains products and I would like for the user to be able to toggle the categories. For example, if there are categories jeans, shirts and jackets, I would like a set of checkboxes that would toggle between showing the three categories of products. The problem is that I am unsure of how to approach this problem. I am not sure how to allow the user to relay the information to the controller without changing every users toggled categories. I also don't know how to get around the fact that refreshing the page to refresh the table would simply reset all of the categories.
you can do it in this way,
based upon event click of checkbox fire up ajax request on get req/param_catagory
get and assign data and load it over data table
you can use jquery data table plugins for that
There are few easy jquery plugins for that example: jquery data table
Hope this will help.
We have hierarchical items here with a series of TR structure and not in a nested table structure. So we need to have the functionality to drag and drop items with the same level or a function to sort same level items.
For example I'll try to move Item 1.1 below Item 1.4, that row must be displayed below Item 1.4 together with its children items(Item 1.1.1 and Item 1.1.2). It will work but if you will try to move the children items, it will not work.
And we should also be able to sort/move the Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3 together with its children.
Help with regards to these sorting in jQuery UI.
var tmpTr = jQuery(ui.item).clone(true, true);
var tmpParent = jQuery('tbody[data="'+ui.item[0].id+'"]').clone(true,true);
I think there's something wrong in my code for clone. By the way here's the jsFiddle link

Thanks,
After experimenting with jquery-ui Sortable for a recent implementation of a heirarchical list of items that are draggable/droppable/sortable, I ended up rolling my own implementation using Draggable and Droppable. It helped avoid a lot of squidgy issues with hierarchical and complex sorting/dragging/dropping interactions with Sortable. Even though I got less up front, I was able handle all the cases we needed to without understanding and hacking the default behavior of Sortable. This is not exactly an answer to your question about the behavior of clone, but it may help!
I have a selectbox which takes its option values from a <ul> list. The list is changeable via jQuery UI sortable functionality, and the selectbox dynamically updates as you sort items differently.
I have made that functionality, the code is dirty but it does the job:
http://jsfiddle.net/trunkadelic/TtnTf/2/
What I need is a "reset" function, which brings the list (and thus, the selectbox) back to their original values. I am not sure how to approach this, even a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated.
On page load I would store off the initial state of the list in a JavaScript variable. Then, when the reset link is clicked I would restore the state of the <ul> to what it was on page load. From there you can use the same method you already have to update the selectmenu to match.
I forked your jsFiddle to show this - http://jsfiddle.net/g8GLw/
I have a select option list and im using jQuery Mobile. My list is very long so Id like to give users the option of searching the list by typing in text.
Is there some native / jQuery Mobile way of adding a text search when you focus on the list? If not I guess instead on an input ill need to create a link to a new page with a filter list, and use javascript to populate the 'input' with the value selected.
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/lists-search.html
The short answer is no, unless you want to go nuts editing the JQM code to add that feature to the select box. That being said, I also had this problem (with the select menus being way too long), and here's what I did:
For one scenario, I used an autocomplete search box (that had results drop down: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/) in addition to the select menu, populated with the data in the select menu. That way the user could choose whether to use the select menu or search.
For a second scenario, I allowed the user to search for something, then brought up a menu (really a dialog plugin) with only the results that matched what they searched for.
Hope this helps.
Personally, I could not get the jqueryui autocomplete to work well with jQuery Mobile. But this autocomplete code from Andy Matthews worked well:
http://www.andymatthews.net/code/autocomplete/
Used in conjection with an input text field, it provides a way for users to type in a few characters and see a list of choices to select.
I have a JQuery Mobile (1.0rc1) application that has a list view with a search filter implemented. It's similar to this sample.
Under certain conditions, I am dynamically loading additional items into the list with an ajax call. When this happens I want to clear anything entered in the search filter, otherwise I end up with a partially filtered list.
I've tried firing the clear button like this:
$('.ui-button-clear', $.mobile.activePage).click();
and clearing the form like this:
$("form > input", $.mobile.activePage).val('');
but neither worked. Can someone enlighten me to the proper way to accomplish this?
You should be able to clear clear the searchfilter with
$('input[data-type="search"]').val("");
Edit: To update the list you will also have to trigger the "change"-event on the searchfilter:
$('input[data-type="search"]').trigger("keyup");
JSFiddle
if you talking about Jquery mobile listview, then you need this
$('#autocomplete li').click(function () {
$('.ui-input-clear').trigger("click");
});
I use the following code:
$("form")[0].reset();
The [0] points to the DOM element method.
