JQuery UI AutoComplete Position - jquery-ui

I'd like to position my autocomplete (menu) properly in relation to the browser window. That is, when the autocomplete is at the top of the page get the menu going down and if at the bottom of the page get the menu going up (even if we have some vertical scrollbar).
Thx.

Use the position option to activate collision detection:
$( "#someElement" ).autocomplete({
source: [...]
position: { collision: "flip" }
});​
DEMO
The autocomplete uses the jQuery UI Position utility to easily place the menu relatively to the input element.
The option collision to automatically move the element to an alternative position in case the element would not be viewable in the default direction in the viewport.
The value flip will show the menu below or above, in the direction is will be fully viewable.

Click on a disabled Jquery UI Slider goes to top of page

When you click on a JQuery UI slider that is disabled and the page has been scrolled down, the page goes back to the top.
This is happening because the slider widget is implemented with an anchor tag containing an Href of #.
This is my hack solution.
$(".ui-slider-disabled").on("click",
".ui-slider-handle",
function () {return false;});
It works well but, is there a native (API) way to stop this?
How about this (you may need to change the class, depending on how you set it up)
$(".ui-slider").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation()
});

Drag & Drop in iFrame using jQuery UI issue

I'm using jQuery UI. When I drag element in the iframe and I move mouse out of the iframe, the element is still in the draggable state. So when I move mouse back to the iframe, I can still drag it, like I would had left mouse button down.
How to avoid it? So that if I start to drag element, it stops when I go out of the iframe in the last draggable position?
You need to trigger a mouseup() when your pointer leaves the iframe so that the element being dragged is no released.
$('body').one("mouseleave", function(){
$('body').mouseup();
});
There were more questions asked pertaining to my solution, so please refer my question posted here for more details

Jquery Mobile 1.3 slider conflicts with panel

I am trying to set up a JQuery Mobile 1.3 site that uses a panel and a slider.
Problem is, that using the slider triggers the panel, which opens on a "swiperight" event, as I am moving the slider to the right. The slider will be for pagination, the panel for a menu.
Code here:
http://jsfiddle.net/kMARn/1/
Move the slider to the right and the panel will open.
I have tried using the .not() selector for the panel to not react on the slider:
$(document).not("#slider").on("swiperight", function(event, ui) {
$("#myPanel").panel("open");
});
But it won't work, the panel opens when i move the slider to the right. Tried a bunch of variants too, but I'm lost...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
A bit late to the party, but you can disable swipe-to-close by setting the data-swipe-close attribute to "false" on the panel div.
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.3.0-beta.1/docs/panels/options.html
In my case I used this simple code, without data-swipe-close = "false" in panel.
Keeping panel close with swipe right, outside of the slider.
$('#panel').find('#slider')
.on('slidestop',function(e,ui) {
var value = e.target.value;
//...operations with slider value...
})
.parent().on('swiperight',function(e,ui) {
e.stopPropagation(); //block panel close
})
From the 1.3.0b1 Docs for Swipe:
"Triggers when a horizontal drag of 30px or more (and less than 75px
vertically) occurs within 1 second duration"
This applies to and can be configured for swiperight too. You can make the slider small in length and this would ensure that both the slider event stop and the swipe are not triggered at the same time, yet that may not be practical for all scenarios.
What might be better is to bind the swipe right to a DIV or section of the page. By this, I mean if you have a 75 px div box on the left hand side of the display, and when a swipe event occurred within that div, it could trigger the menu.
I feel the logic here might be better controlled by a button, much like used in the Facebook App to display there slide out menu. In the Dolphin browser on Android, this type of event also triggers a bookmark menu, so if a page has a swiperight event and trigger it, I sometimes get both the event and the bookmark menu from the App. Annoying!
I did fork your jsfiddle and will play with it more (http://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/Hg2pw/). FYI, they have JQM 1.3.0b1 in their available frameworks so you don't have to link it in your HTML. If I find some more info, I will comment here.
The following solution is more a workaround. It should be relatively reliable though.
$(document).ready( function () {
var menu_available = true;
$(document).on("swiperight", function(event, ui) {
if (menu_available) $("#myPanel").panel("open");
});
$("#slider").on("slidestop", function( event, ui ) {
menu_available = false;
window.setTimeout(function() {menu_available= true;},250);
});
});
The variable menu_available is false for a 250 milliseconds right after the slide stops. The window.setTimeout block will reset the variable so that the menu is available again.
This is a stupid workaround, but jQuerys function event.stopEventPropagation(), which IMHO would be the correct way to go, didn't work.

jQuery mobile popup not appearing in center

I am using jQuery mobile and trying to show jQuery pop on page load. But when the page is loaded popup is not appearing in center, instead popup's TOP LEFT corner is appearing in center.
But as soon as browser window size gets change popup automatically shifts to center (Even if I press F12 for developers tool). And then all frequent calls to $('#popupBasic').popup("open"); make it to appear in center of the screen.
But first time top left corner of the popup box appearing in center.
try this: data-position-to="window".
this is the source
You may try repositioning the popup on pageshow:
$( '#popupLogin' ).popup( 'reposition', 'positionTo: window' );
I reckon what you are experiencing is down to the positioning happening prior the page is fully drawn by the browser. You can overcome this by repositioning the popup like this:
$(document).on('pageshow', '.selector', function(){
$('#popupBasic').popup('reposition', 'positionTo: window');
});
$(document).on("popupafteropen", function() {
$('#popup').popup('reposition', 'positionTo: window');
});
You can use the custom pop up events to reposition it after opening
I was getting the same error. You only want to show the popup after the page has been painted.
Adding your code to listen to the pageshow event instead of the pageinit event will probably fix your problem. It fixed it for me.
This is a very vague question.
A few items you should provide:
What browser are you testing on and what version?
What version of JQM?
Are there any custom CSS interacting with JQM?
As of JQM 1.2, Popup options available:
default: "origin"
Sets the element relative to which the popup will be centered. It has the following values:
"origin" When the popup opens, center over the coordinates passed to the open() call (see methods page).
"window" When the popup opens, center in the window.
jQuery selector When the popup opens, create a jQuery object based on the selector, and center over it. The selector is filtered for elements that are visible with ":visible". If the result is empty, the popup will be centered in the window.

It worked for me when I set the width of popup div manually; try:
$("#popupBasic").css("width","200px");

jQueryUI - draggable with a separate click to drop

I've implemented drag and drop OK with jQueryUI draggable and droppable.
For the less savvy users, I'd like to also offer a visible "move" button. When they click this button, the element would be picked up, and when they click again on a drop target, it's dropped. So the same as drag and drop, but started with one click and dropped with another.
I know it would be possible to do this with separate code, but I'd rather not reinvent everything for a slight variation. Is there a way to get jQueryUI to do this?
The only thing I found is calling the trigger method of the draggable, but you have to pass a mousedown event...
Thanks
See my answer on this other question. If you change it so instead of
$("#headerDiv")
.mousedown(function(event) {
x = event.pageX;
y = event.pageY;
$(this).parent().addClass('movable');
})
.mouseup(function() {
$(this).parent().removeClass('movable');
});
bind to click and implement a toggling mechanism to decide if you are beginning the drag (mousedown equivalent) or ending the drag (mouseup equivalent) you should be most of the way there.
I would use .animate to animate the object to its target. I have done this before with a game. For example you could specify top and left coordinates for the element to move to onClick of the button.
