.trigger('create') cannot create a listview - jquery-mobile

Here are the codes I have to dynamically create and enhance a page. The similar pattern has been working for many other kinds, such as text field, button, grid-view, etc. But I found it cannot work with a listview.
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function route(e, data) {
...
$content = $page.children(":jqmData(role=content)");
var markup = '<ul id="calendarList" data-role="listview"><li>HELLO</li></ul>';
$content.html(markup);
$page.trigger('create');
$.mobile.changePage($page);
});
I would always get an error message like,
Cannot read property 'jQuery16409763167318888009' of undefined
Through debugging using Chrome, I found it always fails on the line of $page.trigger('create');

I found the solution myself. It works fine if I replaced the line,
$page.trigger('create');
with,
$page.page();
$content.find( ":jqmData(role=listview)" ).listview();
However, I still don't understand why. I thought the former was a newer, simpler syntax to replace the latter. A single call of $page.trigger('create'); can enhance the entire page at one shot. Does anyone know the difference of these two?

if the original JS has many functions, how dart to initiate them?

after several rounds of research, I found there is no clear answer about the situation like below:
I have a js file called 'AAA.js', and there is simple code in side like this:
var AAA = {
listenForMenuLayer: function () {
console.log("menu initiated");
$('.nav-menu').on('click', function() { console.log("menu clicked")});
}
init: function(){
this.listenForMenuLayer();
}
};
And in the dart, I wrote like below (using 'dart:js'):
js.context['AAA'].callMethod('init');
Then, when I run it, everything looks fine, the "menu initiated" shows properly, which means the 'listenForMenuLayer' is initiated, but when click on the '.nav-menu', there is nothing happened. (I check many times, there is no spelling error or else)
My question is: Can Dart accept this kind of initiating of external JS event? or we should re-write those JS events at all, please advise, many thanks.
Updates:
I found that if we write the js code like above, the jquery will not be initiated properly, which means all the features begin with '$' will not be functional.
guys, I update it to using 'package:js/js.dart';
#JS('AAA.init')
external void aInit();
then some where, just simply call after including:
aInit();

How to query for an element inside a dom-repeat

I have been scouring the web for a clear answer on how to query for an element generated by a dom-repeat element from Dart code.
sample.html
<dom-module id="so-sample>
<style>...</style>
<template>
<template is="dom-repeat" items="[[cars]] as="car>
...
<paper-button on-click="buttonClicked">Button</paper-button>
<paper-dialog id="dialog">
<h2>Title</h2>
</paper-dialog>
</template>
</template>
sample.dart
I'll omit the boilerplate code here, such as imports or the query to my database to fill the cars property ; everything works fine.
...
#reflectable
void buttonClicked(e, [_])
{
PaperDialog infos = this.shadowRoot.querySelector("#dialog");
infos.open();
}
This generates the following error :
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'querySelector' of undefined
I have tried several 'solutions', which are not, since nothing works.
The only thing I saw on quite a lot of threads is to use Timer.run() and write my code in the callback, but that seems like a hack. Why would I need a timer ?
I understand my problem may be that the content of the dom-repeat is generated lazily, and I query the items 'before' they are added to the local DOM.
Another advice I didn't follow is to use Mutation Observers. I read in the polymer API documentation that the observeNodes method should be used instead, as it internally uses MO to handle indexing the elements, but it again seems a bit complicated just to open a dialog.
My final objective is to bind the button of each generated model to a dedicated paper-dialog to display additional information on the item.
Has anyone ever done that ? (I should hope so :p)
Thanks for your time !
Update 1:
After reading Gunter's advices, although none of them actually worked by themselves, the fact that the IDs aren't mangled inside a dom-repeat made me think and query paper-dialog instead of the id itself, and now my dialog pops up !
sample.dart:
PaperDialog infos = Polymer.dom(root).querySelector("paper-dialog");
infos.open();
I now hope that each button will call the associated dialog, since I'll bind data inside the dialog relative to the item I clicked ~
Update 2:
So, nope, the data binding didn't work as expected: All buttons were bound to the item at index 0, just as I feared. I tried several ways to query the correct paper-dialog but nothing worked. The only 'workaround' I found is to query all the paper-dialog into a list and then get the 'index-th' element from that list.
#reflectable
void buttonClicked(e, [_])
{
var model = new DomRepeatModel.fromEvent(e);
List<PaperDialog> dialogs = Polymer.dom(this.root).querySelectorAll("paper-dialog");
dialogs[model.index].open();
}
This code definitely works, but it feels kind of a waste of resources to get all the elements when you really only need one and you already know which one.
So yeah, my initial problem is solved, but I still wonder why I couldn't query the dialogs from their id:
...
<paper-dialog id="dialog-[[index]]">
...
</paper-dialog>
#reflectable
void buttonClicked(e, [_])
{
var model = new DomRepeatModel.fromEvent(e);
PaperDialog dialog = Polymer.dom(this.root).querySelector("dialog-${model.index}");
dialog.open();
}
With this code, dialog is always null, although I can find those dialogs, correctly id-ied, in the DOM tree.
You need to use Polymers DOM API with shady DOM (default). If you enable shadow DOM your code would probably work as well.
PaperDialog infos = new Polymer.dom(this).querySelector("#dialog")

Intercept dialog from <webview> and read the contents

I use this code to intercept a dialog from a webview but I can not see the content or interact with it:
Element webview= querySelector("#webview");
Map<String,String> map=new Map();
map["src"]=urlWebView+user;
webview.attributes.addAll(map);
querySelector("#webview_cont").style.visibility="visible";
window.addEventListener("dialog",(Event e){ //Use window or webview returns the same result
e.preventDefault();
... //What should I do here ??
} );
Any solution?
Thanks

The problem definitely lies with your usage of Dart's Event class.
It simply does not support the extra properties that Chrome is adding to the event: e.dialog, e.messageText, e.messageType.
It does not seem like there is a ready solution for that, at least not in chrome.dart.
Sadly, I don't know Dart well enough to give you a solution. You need to somehow extend that event class, possibly dropping to JS level.
This library, even if abandoned, should give you ideas on how to do that (by catching the JS-level event and stuffing the extra properties in CustomEvent's detail property), though implementing DialogController (which is not JSON-serializable) would be a bit trickier, I guess.

JQuery table sorter pager with AJAX - sorting not working ok

I have a problem with JQuery table sorter pager plugin.
I am trying to use paging with AJAX call. It seems to work OK for most cases, but I am unable to get the sorting working.
The problem is that when the request is made it always looks like (assuming the code from example here):
http:/mydatabase.com?page=0&size=100&{sortList:col}
just like the last parameter {sortList:col} is never actually replaced with proper sorting column.
If I'm reading the example correctly the request for sortList = [[2,0],[3,0]] should actually look like:
http:/mydatabase.com?page=0&size=100&col[2]=0&col[3]=0
But in my case it never is. Also when I click on the header the sorting is performed, but no request is made.
Is there anything I am missing in the linked example?
EDIT
The first part of my problem has been solved by replacing the plugin with the newest version.
For the second part, I still cannot get a request when clicking (sorting) columns. The ajaxProcessing function is almost exactly the same as in the example here, only headers variable is renamed.
As Mottie sugested I am posting an example result from AJAX call (MS MVC JsonResult):
{
"total_rows":1,
"headers":["Id.","Date","User name","File name","status","Hash","Link"],
"rows":[
{
"Id":"21",
"ReceiveDate":"02.12.2012",
"UserName":"John Doe",
"FileName":"test.txt",
"Status":"",
"Hash":"4A71FD2E12F7E04ED0C04E17476BD1BC5F823C8F",
"FileNameLink":"\u003ca style=\"padding-left:10px\" href=\"GetFile?Id=21&fileName=test.txt\"\u003eSave\u003c/a\u003e"
}]
}
Regards
I apologize, but I didn't get a chance to thoroughly test the latest changes to the pager. Some of the code was written by someone else, so I might have missed something obvious.
Anyway, this might be the bug that is causing you problems. It resets the table to the first page after each sort... I'll have fixed in the next update.
In the pager plugin, lines 460-470 is this code:
.bind('filterEnd.pager sortEnd.pager', function() {
//Prevent infinite event loops from occuring by setting this in all moveToPage calls and catching it here.
if ($.data(table, 'pagerUpdateTriggered')) {
$.data(table, 'pagerUpdateTriggered', false);
return;
}
c.page = 0;
updatePageDisplay(table, c);
moveToPage(table, c);
changeHeight(table, c);
})
Just change the c.page = 0 to this:
if (e.type === 'filterEnd') { c.page = 0; }
and add an e to the function(e).

Nitrogen: changing targetID breaks lightbox

I'm using Nitrogen & lightbox. I'm looking for some guidance after spending way too long trying to understand why a working example breaks as soon as I change the targetID of a lightbox. The fragment below works if I use "name_dialog" or "share_dialog", but not if I use "compose_dialog". I've looked through the source and style sheets, but have not found where those two are defined any differently than what I'm trying to do.
In my .hrl:
...
-record (compose_dialog, { ?ELEMENT_BASE(compose_dialog_element) }).
..
In my element module:
...
reflect() -> record_info(fields, compose_dialog).
render_element(_HtmlID, _Record) ->
#lightbox { id=compose_lightbox, style="display: none;", body = [
..
show() ->
wf:wire(compose_lightbox, #show {}).
ok -- for anyone running into the same NOOB error...
What I neglected to do was add my new element on the body in webview. As a result, I had an undefined object with no ID. Adding it there (and making sure not to create duplicates) fixed this error.
