How to select current page or by page id using jqmData - jquery-mobile

I have a multi-page document and I'm binding to the pageshow event of page "myId":
$('#myId').live('pageshow', renderMyIdTempalates);
I'm applying my JSON templates with PURE like this
function renderMyIdTempalates(event) {
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();
var $page = $("#myId");
// do ajax call
$page.children( ":jqmData(role=header)" ).directives(...).render(data);
$page.children( ":jqmData(role=content)" ).directives(...).render(data);
$.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
}
Initially I was using
$('#myId').directives(...).render(data);
to apply my templates. This caused problems since the selector didn't include the jqm attributes. So I used the jqmData method to grab the header and content to apply my templates. This works fine, but how do I select the entire document that I'm working with? I would prefer to apply my templates to the entire document once.
I tried:
$(":jqmData(role=page)") // selects all pages
$(":jqmData(id=myId)") // no luck
Any ideas?

the selector
div:jqmData(id="myID")
should work. just remember that myID should not be the id of that div.That page div should have a parameter data-id="myID"

jquery mobile trigger('create') callback function

I am using jquery mobile and using the $().trigger('create') function to initiate it. I need a callback after this function is done modifying the html with the new styling. Is this possible?
I need this because i need the new dimensions of the screen after an ajax load of new content.
I would use TriggerHandler(). You can bind to your custom event...
See the DEMO at the bottom of the link:
http://api.jquery.com/triggerHandler/
I found that the "updatelayout" event gets fired when I do a x$.trigger("create"). This from some js using Backbone...
var content$ = this.$el.find("#somediv");
content$.on('updatelayout', function () { alert("woo hoo"); });
content$.trigger("create"); // add some JQM magic, wait for the 'woo hoo'
From the jQuery api:
"This event is triggered by components within the framework that dynamically show/hide content, and is meant as a generic mechanism to notify other components that they may need to update their size or position."
It turns out that there is a devil in the detail. Not all triggered JQM content leads to a JQ "updatelayout" event. I had to add a wrapper div with 'data-role="controlgroup" in another case to get it to fire. More digging required...

JQM - Inject dynamic content at load time only

I'm trying to dynamically populate a select tag at load time (latest jQM version) using a custom template filling function.
If the fn is called in the "pagebeforechange" event, the select tag is properly initialized. Since this event is called on every page transition, I thought of moving the fn to the 'pageinit' event. This does not work, presumably because the DOM is not yet fully available. How can I coerce jQM to inject content in a page only once? Currently, I am using a kludge. There surely must be a smarter way. Thanks for any suggestions.
$(document).bind('pageinit', function () {
InitSelTagTest("#selActTag", "tplTag"); // Does not work.
});
$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function (e, data) {
if ($("#selActTag").children().size() === 0) {
InitSelTagTest("#selActTag", "tplTag"); // Kludge, but it works
}
});
function InitSelTagTest(el,tpl) { // Append all tags to element el
var lstAllTags = JSON.parse($("#hidTag").val()); // Create tag array
// Retrieve html content from template.
var cbeg = "//<![" + "CDATA[", cend = "//]" + "]>";
var rslt = tmpl(tpl, { ddd: lstAllTags }).replace(cbeg, ").replace(cend,");
$(el).html(rslt).trigger("create"); // Add to DOM.
}
EDIT
In response to Shenaniganz' comment, it seems that the "pagebeforecreate" event could do the trick ie.
$("#pgAct").live("pagebeforecreate", function () {
// Populate tag select. Works. Traversed only once.
InitSelTag("#selActTag", "tplTag");
});
I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I'll throw a few things out there and you let me know if I can extend further.
To make something trigger only once on page load you can try to implement a regular JQuery $(document).ready(function(){}) aka $(function(){}) for the exact reason why JQuery Mobile users are told not to use it. It triggers only once on DOM load. Further pages don't trigger it because they're being switched via Ajax.
Other than that, on regular dynamic content loading you take a look at the following example I put together for someone else earlier:

Jquery calls not working in $viewContentLoaded of Angular

Unable to call jquery functions in $viewContentLoaded event of Angular controller, here is the code for the same.
$scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function() {
jQuery.growlUI('Growl Notification', 'Saved Succesfully');
jQuery('#category').tree()
});
Is any configuration required here?? I tried even noConflict(); var $jq = jQuery.noConflict();
Does it require any other configuration?
Thanks,
Abdul
First thing first, don't do DOM manipulation from controller. Instead do it from directives.
You can do same thing in directive link method. You can access the element on which directive is applied.
Make sure you load jquery before angularjs scripts, then grawlUI, three, angularJS and finally your application script. Below is directive sample
var app = angular.module("someModule", []);
app.directive("myDirective", function () {
return function (scope, element, attrs) {
$.growlUI('Growl Notification', 'Saved Succesfully');
element.tree();
};
});
angularjs has built in jQuery lite.
if you load full jquery after angular, since jQuery is already defined, the full jquery script will skip execution.
==Update after your comment==
I reviewed again your question after comment and realised that content which is loaded trough ajax is appended to some div in your angular view. Then you want to apply element.tree() jquery plugin to that content. Unfortunately example above will not work since it is fired on linking which happened before your content from ajax response is appended to element with directive I showed to you. But don't worry, there is a way :) tho it is quick and dirty but it is just for demo.
Let's say this is your controller
function ContentCtrl($scope, $http){
$scope.trees=[];
$scope.submitSomethingToServer=function(something){
$http.post("/article/1.html", something)
.success(function(response,status){
// don't forget to set correct order of jquery, angular javascript lib load
$.growlUI('Growl Notification', 'Saved Succesfully');
$scope.trees.push(response); // append response, I hope it is HTML
});
}
}
Now, directive which is in controller scope (it uses same scope as controller)
var app = angular.module("someModule", []);
app.directive("myDirective", function () {
return function (scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$watch("trees", function(){
var newParagraph=$("<p>" + scope.trees[scope.trees.length-1] + "</p>" ); // I hope this is ul>li>ul>li...or what ever you want to make as tree
element.append(newParagraph);
newParagraph.tree(); //it will apply tree plugin after content is appended to DOM in view
});
};
});
The second approach would be to $broadcast or $emit event from controller (depends where directive is, out or in scope of controller) after your ajax completes and you get content from server. Then directive should be subscribed to this event and handle it by receiving passed data (data=content as string) and do the rest as I showed you above.
The thing is, threat that content from ajax as data all the way it comes to directive, then inject it to element in which you want to render it and apply tree plugin to that content.

mobile.changepage requiring page refresh

I'm using $.mobile.ChangePage() to navigate from one HTML page to another. But the contents of the page is not changing. while doing so the page URL changes but the new page is not loaded. it requires to be refreshed to load.
you should use JavaScript function to change the page..using
window.location = 'your page ';
hope it will resolve your problem !
In the code that you provided in the comments above, you are likely getting an error stating that next_page is not defined. Given that you are dealing with jQuery Mobile, try assigning the click handler slightly differently:
Change the definition of the link to something like this:
<a id="btnNextPage" href="#" >Details</a>
You don't have to give it an id - you could just use selectors to identify the link in the following javascript:
// the event handler
function next_page() {
$.mobile.changePage("http://www.google.com", {transition:"slide"});
}
// assign the click event when the DOM is ready
$(function() {
$("#btnNextPage").click ( next_page );
});

jQuery UI dialog display inside frame, from bookmarklet?

I'm writing a bookmarklet which needs to work in the context of pages whose design I don't control. Some of the pages I need the bookmarklet to function in use frames (in framesets). Is it possible for a jQuery-UI dialog to work inside a frame?
Currently, when I encounter a page with a frameset, I creating my dialog like this:
var frame = window.frames[0];
var div = $(frame.document.createElement("div"));
div.html("My popup contents");
div.dialog( ... );
The result is that jQuery appends the ui-widget div to the main document, rather than the frame's document. Since the main document is just a frameset, nothing is displayed. I can't find any options in the jquery-ui API to specify which document the widgets should be constructed in. The bookmarklet will necessarily be running (or at least starting) from within the context of the outer document.
I'm aware that it won't be possible to display an overlay over the frames; I'm comfortable with display just in a single frame. Also, some other notable bookmarklets fail to function on pages with framesets, so this may be a common problem.
Suggestions?
Bookmarklets typically don't use jQuery. Most bookmarklets open a window which has jQuery.
Here's what I ended up doing: rather than attempting to display within or over a frame, I just had the bookmarklet rewrite the page to remove the framesets and add my own body and content to the page. This allows the bookmarklet to still introspect the frames and get data that it needs from them to construct the overlay prior to removing the framesets, but allows the overlay to still work.
Something like this:
if (window.frames) {
for (var i = 0; i < window.frames.length; i++) {
// ... grab data from the frame ...
}
}
if ($("frameset")) {
$("html").children("frameset").remove();
document.body = document.createElement("body");
$("html").append(document.body);
// ... add my stuff to body ...
}
