Are there any good alternatives to jQuery FlexBox? I need the functionality to select from auto-suggest drop down list and input new values like on a textbox.
So the Autocomplete control from jQuery UI has emerged to be a useful alternative for my own purposes:
http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
Try this :
http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/index.htm#demos/jqxgrid/dropdowngrid.htm
this will contain all functionality of grid.

Is it possible to extend rich:select or h:selectOneMenu to enable multiple selection? I am looking for a jsf component which looks like the jQuery Chosen plugin.
The component should let me select multiple options from the drop down.
Please note that I can not use h:selectManyMenu or list box because of the specific requirement.
Note: just saw the tags field below the description box while posting a question. I am looking exactly for the same functionality, except that I want a JSF component, not a js plugin.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I would use that jQuery Chosen plugin and do something like this:
use jQuery to apply it to your select
use jQuery to get the selected data
pass the data to the backing bean via a hidden input field
There may be 'pure JSF' ways but it looks like more work. If you find something interesting let me know.
I am using Struts jQuery plugin. Problem is with <sj:tabbedpanel>.
I want to preselect the tab depending on the input while loading the page.
I know there is property selectedTab="1".
But I want it to change it while loading the page using jQuery.
In jQuery-UI plugin, there is function $("#tab").tabs('selected',2) which does that.
What is the similar function which does the same thing here.
Try this:
<sj:tabbedpanel id="tabbed" selectedTab="%{selected}"></sj:tabbedpanel>
selected should be a parameter, which decides the opened tab.
If you still wanna use jQuery, please check the api: jQuery Tabs API
here is the important part:
A series of events fire when interacting with a tabs interface:
tabsselect, tabsload, tabsshow (in that order)
tabsadd, tabsremove
tabsenable, tabsdisable
If you want to do this from javascript then use option to set selected tab.
$("#tab").tabs( "option", "selected", 2);
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.

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 just started looking into using jQuery Mobile on a XPages project. I am unsure whether I should use XPages controls or standard HTML controls in certain circumstances.
For example, I need a simple "Save" button on a page. An xp:button does get rendered with the jQuery Mobile style. But how would I then apply attributes to it, such "data-icon" and "data-inline"?
Or should I be using a standard HTML tag in this case? If so, I lose the ability to code XPages simple actions to, say, save the data sources.
Thanks for any tips.
If you are using 8.5.3 you can use the attr property of the button to add the data-icon and data-inline tags.
<xp:button value="Label" id="button1">
<xp:this.attrs>
<xp:attr name="data-icon" value="marky"></xp:attr>
</xp:this.attrs>
</xp:button>
If not then you can use jQuery to add the attribute using $().attr('data-icon', 'whatever'). Remember though the clientID of the button will change through the interface and you will need to adjust for that. You could you my x$ function

I am looking for a jQuery list that is editable (add, change, delete elements), what is a good starting point code base that does this?
I found this one example which is great, but it doesn't add, edit or delete list items:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/default.html
you would use that jQuery library along side some small plugins, there not that hard to extend if you understand the Dom and jQuery.
take a look at this plug-in for example.
