I am using jQuery UI Autocomplete plugin on a textarea
What I want is the textarea content should not be modified when the user hovers on the autocomplete list
This means, if the user scrolls though the list or hovers on the options, the textarea contents should not change. The change should occur only on selection of the option.
$("#my_textarea").autocomplete({
source: mySource,
focus: function (event, ui) {
event.preventDefault() // <-- prevent the textarea from being updated.
}
});

I am referring the following url http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox
to render comboBoxes in my HTML page. Using the following line of code I can determine when an item from the comboBox is selected.
$("#myDropDown").combobox({
select: function (event, ui) {
//item from combobox is selected
},
});
I wish to attach an onFocus or an onBlur event to this dropdown. On searching I only come across the select event. Is there a workaround to bind an onFocus or an onBlur event to the comboBox?
I have a need to capture an event (like a click) on a object that is elsewhere on the page and not a child of the select2 object while the select2 object has focus and is showing results. When the select2 results object is focused, I cannot click on a button/anchor elsewhere on the page and have it perform its action. It merely closes the select2 object.
Is there a way to do this? Here is a demo that shows this behavior: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/JoJobW
<!-- Javascript snippet -->
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#e1").select2();
$("#e2").click(function(){
alert("click!");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
<!-- HTML snippet -->
<select id="e1"></select>
Click here when select2 is focused
Using select2 v3.5.2 and jQuery 1.11.0
Select2 places a "mask" element behind the drop-down that captures the mouse click. Others have complained about this.
Here is a jsfiddle that shows the mask element.
You could try to remove the mask element when the drop-down is opened.
$('#e1').select2().on('select2-open', function() {
$('.select2-drop-mask').remove();
});
Of course, this means the drop-down will not close when the user clicks off of it, but you could add an event handler on the document (or body) to do that.
$(document).click(function() {
$("#e1").select2('close');
});
You have to make sure the click event on the other element does not propagate to the document in that case.
$('#e2').click(function() {
alert('click!');
return false; // Prevent default action and stop propagation.
});
jsfiddle
$('#ac').autocomplete({
source: '/url',
appendTo: $('#ac').closest('.popupWindow'),
select: function (event, ui) {
// do stuff
}
});
in IE9 first time everything works fine, but when i type text is second time, elements don`t reacts on clicks
error appears only when using appendTo option
solve it: on one of parent elements was click event handler with e.stopPropagation()
I am using jQuery tabs, each tab has variable heights.
When I select a tab I need to refresh the content in a div to accomodate the window scroll appearing/disappearing.
Looking at the API documentation for the tabs plugin there is load event and a select event. I cannot seem to find any other events I can plug into.
The load event works fine but when selecting a tab that is already loaded the select event fires before the content is displayed.
$("#tabs").tabs({
cache: false,
select: function (e, ui) {
// running the event here will not work as it runs before the content is diplayed
},
load: function (event, ui){
// running it here works ok as it fires the event after the content is displayed
}
});
I need the event to fire after the content is displayed.
Is there an event I can plug into for this particular behaviour?
The JqueryUI 1.8 API documentation describes the show and select events.
If show doesn't work, then perhaps configuring a timer in the select handler to refresh the div a few milliseconds later will do the trick.
I need a function which will get the text of the currently selected tab. I can get the selected tab using events, but I need to get the text even if the selected event is not yet thrown.
Here's my event script,
$( "#tabs" ).bind( "tabsselect", function(event, ui) {
_textOfTab=$(ui.tab).text();
});
How can I just query the tabs for the currently selected one?
The <li> of the selected tab will have a ui-tabs-selected class on it, you can use that to find the active tab.
$("#tabs ul.ui-tabs-nav li.ui-tabs-selected").text()
You can test it out here.
