Sortable and droppable knockout list
I am using knockout to bind a UL. I am wanting to gives users the ability to drag and drop a LI and for my viewmodel to update with the reorder.
Drag and drop is working and I have the correct event working within my jquery but I am not sure how to make the update.
I have had a hunt around the documentation but cant find anything.
I've created a fiddle to make explaining what I am doing a little easier
Js Fiddle here
Any suggestions would be awesome!
Updated the jsfiddle link
I've never worked with Knockout and I don't have time to understand its intricacies right now, so this isn't a complete solution, but here's something to get you started. See below for links to some pages I found while searching that may help you complete the solution.
This is the part that I changed from your original fiddle:
var view_model = new ViewModel(initialData);
ko.applyBindings(view_model);
$(function() {
$( "#sortable" ).sortable({
revert: true,
stop: function(event, ui) { console.log("stop event")},
start : function ( event, ui ) {
ui.item.data( 'previous_index', ui.item.index() );
},
// start
update : function ( event, ui ) {
var question = view_model.questions.splice(
ui.item.data( 'previous_index' ), 1
)[0];
view_model.questions.splice( ui.item.index(), 0, question );
ui.item.removeData( 'previous_index' );
}
// update
});
});

I'm using draggable with connectToSortable to allow <tr>s from my tables to be dragged and added to other tables.
It works great, but once I drag a <tr> to another table, it cannot be moved again, except for within its own (new) table. Is this an inherent limitation of jQuery UI or did I do something wrong?
Sortable:
$("#sem1").sortable({
receive: function (event, ui) {
ui.item.remove();}
});
$("#sem2").sortable({
receive: function (event, ui) {
ui.item.remove();}
});
Draggable:
$("#sem1 tr").draggable({ connectToSortable: "#sem1, #sem2",helper:"clone"});
$("#sem2 tr").draggable({ connectToSortable: "#sem1, #sem2",helper:"clone"});
I had to use the clone helper and then remove because otherwise the drag would do funky things like overlap rows... open to any suggestions!
Thanks in advance for any help!
P.s, this is a follow-up to a question I had previously gotten answered:
Are dynamically created table rows not targetable by jQuery?
Got it - I just added the exact same code above to be executed on a onmouseup handler attached to my <tr>s
I fill list dynamically, and after that on click I have multiple calls of event. 1st time it is repeated 1 time, 2nd time 2 times, 3rd time 3 times, etc...
First, more about this problem can be found in my other answer: jQuery Mobile: document ready vs page events
Prevent multiple event binding/triggering
Because of interesting jQM loading architecture, multiple event triggering is a constant problem. For example, take a look at this code snipet:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow','#index' ,function(e,data){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/CCfL4/
Each time you visit page #index click event will is going to be bound to button #test-button. There are few ways to prevent this problem:
Solution 1:
Remove event before you bind it:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die().live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/K8YmG/
In case you have different events bound to an object:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die('click').live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Solution 2:
Use a jQuery Filter selector, like this:
$('#carousel div:Event(!click)').each(function(){
//If click is not bind to #carousel div do something
});
Because event filter is not a part of official jQuery framework it can be found here: http://www.codenothing.com/archives/2009/event-filter/
In a nutshell, if speed is your main concern then Solution 2 is much better then Solution 1.
Solution 3:
A new one, probably an easiest of them all.
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
if(e.handled !== true) // This will prevent event triggering more then once
{
alert('Clicked');
e.handled = true;
}
});
});

More info
If you want to find more about this problem take a look at this article, working examples are included.
I have a list of draggables that need to be dropped onto divs loaded by AJAX. However, when the divs are loaded by AJAX it breaks the droppables functionality. I removed AJAX from the equation and it worked fine.
Here's working code. With this code I can drag items in my .contentList to #block1 div and everything works peachy.
<div id="block1"></div>
$(".contentList").draggable();
var dropOpts = {
hoverClass: "activated",
tolerance: "pointer",
drop: getURL
};
$("#block1").droppable(dropOpts);
I then have the following code load a new div via jQuery .load.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#template1").click(function() {
$("#dynamic-ui").load("/templates/newtemplate.html");
});
The newtemplate.html contains a div with the same id; #block1. However, once it loads I can no longer drag onto it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Add the code to make #block1 droppable after the newtemplate.html is loaded into dom. e.g.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#template1").click(function() {
$("#dynamic-ui").load("/templates/newtemplate.html");
var dropOpts = {
hoverClass: "activated",
tolerance: "pointer",
drop: getURL
};
$("#block1").droppable(dropOpts);
});
});
The binding of events happens when the browser loads the webpage.
So during the loading if the JavaScript didn't find the specified division/element they won't bind the event. So for dynamically created divisions you need use jQuery live to bind the events.
For your question i think this question will answer you.
Hope it will help you.
Good luck
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");

I've searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find any help...
I have some textboxes that are created dynamically via JS, so I need to bind all of their classes to an autocomplete. As a result, I need to use the new .live() option.
As an example, to bind all items with a class of .foo now and future created:
$('.foo').live('click', function(){
alert('clicked');
});
It takes (and behaves) the same as .bind(). However, I want to bind an autocomplete...
This doesn't work:
$('.foo').live('autocomplete', function(event, ui){
source: 'url.php' // (surpressed other arguments)
});
How can I use .live() to bind autocomplete?
UPDATE
Figured it out with Framer:
$(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function(){
$(this).autocomplete({
source : 'url.php'
});
});
});
jQuery UI autocomplete function automatically adds the class "ui-autocomplete-input" to the element. I'd recommend live binding the element on focus without the "ui-autocomplete-input"
class to prevent re-binding on every keydown event within that element.
$(".foo:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)").live("focus", function (event) {
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
Edit
My answer is now out of date since jQuery 1.7, see Nathan Strutz's comment for use with the new .on() syntax.
If you are using the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js try this instead
.bind("keydown.autocomplete") or .live("keydown.autocomplete")
if not, use the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js and see if it'll work
If that doesn't apply, I don't know how to help you bro
Just to add, you can use the .livequery plugin for this:
$('.foo').livequery(function() {
// This will fire for each matched element.
// It will also fire for any new elements added to the DOM.
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
To get autocomplete working when loaded dynamically for the on() event used in jQuery > 1.7, using the syntax Nathan Strutz provides in his comment:
$(document).on('focus', '.my-field:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)', function (e) {
$(this).autocomplete(options)
});
where .my-field is a selector for your autocomplete input element.
.live() does not work with focus.
also keyup.autocmplete does not make any sense.
Instead the thing I have tried and working is this
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup' , function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
})
This works perfectly fine.
You can't. .live() only supports actual JavaScript events, not any custom event. This is a fundamental limitation of how .live() works.
You can try using this:
$('.foo').live('focus.autocomplete', function() {
$(this).autocomplete({...});
});
After reading and testing everyone else's answers I have updated it for the current version of JQuery and made a few tweaks.
The problem with using keydown as the event that calls .autocomplete() is that it fails to autocomplete for that first letter typed. Using focus is the better choice.
Another thing I have noticed is that all of the given solutions result in .autocomplete() being called multiple times. If you are adding an element dynamically to the page that will not be removed again, the event should only be fired once. Even if the item is to be removed and added again, the event should be removed and then added back each time the element is removed or added so that focusing on the field again will not unnecessarily call .autocomplete() every time.
My final code is as follows:
$(document).on('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete', function(e){
$(this).autocomplete(autocompleteOptions);
$(document).off('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete');
});
autocomplete is not an event rather a function that enables autocomplete functionality for a textbox.
So if you can modify the js that creates the textboxes dynamically to wrap the textbox element in as a jquery object and call autocomplete on that object.
I just noticed you edited your post with this answer. It was obvious to me so I'm posting it below for others. Thank you.
$(function()
{
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
});
This works for me:
$(function()
{
$('.item_product').live('focus.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete("/source.php/", {
width: 550,
matchContains: true,
mustMatch: false,
selectFirst: false,
});
});
});
You can just put the autocomplete inside input live event, like this:
$('#input-element').live('input', function(){
$("#input-element").autocomplete(options);
});
