Dynamically injecting buttons into JQM footers seems to be an exercise in frustration. Anyone have a clue how to apply proper formatting for this? Here are several anomalies I found trying to do this:
Multi-column button grids are not properly formatted in the footer
data-corners="false" attribute (to get flush buttons) does not apply to the first and last buttons in the footer
With data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" for the footer buttons, if there are too many buttons to fit in one row the styling looks weird (since some buttons will have rounded corners, others will not)
If data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" are omitted for the footer buttons, buttons may be rendered partially off the screen...
In general - argh!!!! Anyone have any success dynamically injecting buttons into a footer? If so, would much appreciate to hear how this was achieved.
Thanks!
Would something like this work:
http://jsfiddle.net/eznh8/7/
JS
$('#addButtonName').click(function() {
var theFooter = $('#addMoreButtons');
var buttonName= $('#newButtonName');
if(buttonName.val() != '') {
theFooter.append(''+buttonName.val()+'');
buttonName.val('');
$('#theHomePage').trigger('create');
}
});
HTML
<div data-role="page" id="theHomePage">
<label for="basic">Button Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="newButtonName" id="newButtonName" value="" />
Add New button
<div data-role="footer" class="ui-bar" id="addMoreButtons">
</div>
</div>
Multi-column button grids are not properly formatted in the footer - this is my response to that.
One thing to check if you are using controlgroup with a href links - make sure your each of the links in the control group has the following CSS;
vertical-align:top;
You will also have to get more control over how the elements look if you are styling them as buttons. I posted a similar discussion over here:
https://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-mobile-horizontal-control-groups-creating-a-custom-split-list
https://forum.jquery.com/topic/css-code-to-help-control-entire-button-in-a-jquery-mobile-theme
Hope that helps.

I have the following for a polymer web application. The whole page scrolls. I would like for the contents of and to scroll independently. foo has a longer view and bar is generally able to fit in the page with maybe a little vertical scrolling.
How do I make the two contents of vaadin-split-layout scroll independently vertically?
<app-drawer-layout fullbleed force-narrow>
<app-drawer slot="drawer">
<app-toolbar>
<div main-title>Models</div>
</app-toolbar>
<section>
<div style="margin-bottom:90px;width:100%;"></div>
</section>
</app-drawer>
<app-header-layout>
<app-header slot="header" fixed effects="waterfall">
<app-toolbar>
<paper-icon-button icon="menu" drawer-toggle></paper-icon-button>
<iron-icon id="logo" src="icon.svg"></iron-icon>
<div main-title>Spliter Sample</div>
</app-toolbar>
</app-header>
<section>
<vaadin-split-layout orientation="horizontal">
<foo></foo>
<bar></bar>
</vaadin-split-layout>
</section>
</app-header-layout>
</app-drawer-layout>
Thank you for any advice.
You can style the panels of a vaadin-split-layout as any other div as the panels are in the light DOM as you can see when inspecting their examples.
Thus give them an explicit height and an overflow:auto or overflow-y:auto; to enable scrolling. The style rules be placed in your usual CSS.
When creating some clickable dropdowns, I noticed the dropdown menu will hide behind any clickable dropdown buttons if they overlap. Here is an example
How can I fix this? Here is the code used to create the dropdown.
<div class="w3-container">
<div class="w3-dropdown-click">
<button onclick="myFunction()" class="w3-btn">Click Me!</button>
<div id="Demo" class="w3-dropdown-content w3-border">
Link 1
Link 2
</div>
</div>
</div>
I also made a fiddle, but it doesn't seem to be working: https://jsfiddle.net/n2fole00/99d8d7pj/
BTW, would this be considered a bug?
Thanks.
Based on Tony Hensler's comment, it was the z-index.
<div id="<?php echo $course->course_id; ?>" class="w3-dropdown-content w3-border" style="right:0; z-index:1;">
I just added z-index:1 to the w3-dropdown-content div as an inline style for the fix.
Thanks Tony.
Using Jquery-mobile, the following (abbreviated here) footer
<div data-role="footer">
<a href="#table" data-role="button" data-icon="plus"
data-iconpos="left" class="ui-btn-left">Open</a>
<a href="#" data-rel="back" data-role="button" data-icon="delete"
data-iconpos="notext" class="ui-btn-right">Close</a>
</div>
that exist in a popup, when popped-up, its buttons
are displayed outside the popup-frame, aligned under it.
Why? What am I doing wrong?
The full example is in http://jsfiddle.net/yotam/d0aqmx6m/
I'm beginning to wonder if button footers are not supported in popups. Or at least, not fully supported. From the docs, you need to throw a "ui-title" in there too - it's what will give the footer height (The docs show a span after the button definitions).
I've done that here:
<div data-role="footer">
Open
Close
<span class="ui-title"></span>
</div>
See: http://jsfiddle.net/had4or71/
Of course, it only partially solves your problem, as though they are now in the footer, they don't yet look good. I tried with a navbar in the footer with similarly disappointing results (the navbar was well positioned top, bottom, and left, but ran over the right border pretty badly.
Finally, I did this version real quick as well:
http://jsfiddle.net/ph0e54ee/2/
Which shows pushing the close button into the header like the demos site does, and just presenting your open button inline as a standard button - alas, it's a compromise, and not what you asked for.
On further investigation, it would appear the "ui-btn-left" and "ui-btn-right" classes are not supported in the footer, see:
gh:6331
gh:6872
gh:6137 (comment)
Again, I messed about with the CSS a bit, and managed to get something sort of nice, at least on my test browser of chrome. I suspect your mileage will vary greatly outside of chrome.: http://jsfiddle.net/9crnjakr/
I have two dynamic horizontal control groups of radio buttons:
<div class="categories-panel" id="sections-panel">
<fieldset id="section-choice-fieldset" data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
<!-- ko foreach: Sections -->
<input type="radio"
data-mini="true"
...
/>
<label data-bind="text:Name, attr:{'for':Id}"></label>
<!-- /ko -->
</fieldset>
</div>
The content of controlgroups is updated by knockoutjs. The markup is updated this way:
self.refreshCategoriesList = function() {
$("#section-choice-fieldset").find("input[type='radio']").checkboxradio();
$("#category-choice-fieldset").controlgroup();
};
The problem is: the controlgroups don't fit in one row until I turn of and turn on the display: inline-block property of .ui-controlgroup-controls div in debugger:
before display: inline-block refresh:

after display: inline-block refresh (desired view):

How to make jQM always paint my controlgroups in one row?
First of all, the way you select your control group is wrong in this line :
$("#category-choice-fieldset").controlgroup();
Mustnt it be
$("#section-choice-fieldset").controlgroup();
(Maybe a typo)
You could do this in any of the two ways :
Method 1
Works fine in my fiddle. I'd say you move the <script> tag from head to body because page events of jQM dont play well with KnockOut.js and KnockOut.js needs a DOM ready to work properly, AND DOM ready doesnt work well with jQM. So I guess its a vicious loop indeed.
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/hungerpain/k7UR5/
Method 2
And you could try one more thing in your refreshCategoriesList method:
//$("#section-choice-fieldset").find("input[type='radio']").checkboxradio();
//$("#category-choice-fieldset").controlgroup();
$("[data-role=page]").trigger("create");
Refreshing the entire controls on the page - thats what trigger("create") does
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/hungerpain/k7UR5/1/
If you are updating the control group (appending, modifying etc) , access the control group like this:
$("#my-controlgroup").controlgroup("container")["append"]($el);
You need to access the control group container. See my jsfiddle for modifying the control group:

I'm trying to learn jquery mobile and have been playing around with it for the past few days and things are going alright, but I'm not so sure if I'm taking the proper approach.
I tried making a site with a similar UI as the facebook app. On the top right and left corners of the page's header are buttons that causes the page to slide out like a drawer.
The top left button will slide the page out to the right to reveal a menu, while the top right button will slide out to the left to reveal a form to fill out.
What I did was create divs outside the page and used javascript to slide out the active page, to reveal the menu or form depending on which button is pressed:
<body>
<div id="my-menu">
<ul>
<li>Menu Item 1</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- end of my-menu -->
<div id="my-form">
<form method="post" action="form-action.php">
<!-- form elements -->
</form>
</div> <!-- end of my-form -->
<div data-role="page" id="home">
<div data-role="header">
</div>
<div data-role="content">
</div>
</div> <!-- end of home -->
</body>
I used my own CSS to style the menu, but I also noticed my theme wasn't applied to "my-form", but everything in the page "home" had all elements properly styled.
I can't put the form inside the page "home" because I will not be able to do sliding drawer effect that I've done with the menu.
Am I suppose to have my own styling applied to the form outside the page or is there a way to apply the jquery mobile theme to elements outside the page?
Would this be the best approach to implement this kind of user interface or is there a better way using what's available in jquery mobile?
Since this will be my UI for the application does that mean I will just copy the same code to all the pages? Or is there a better way to do this?
I'd like to use the best practice for this use case so please offer any advice!
Thanks in advance for the help!
BTW I did the slide menu based on this blog post:
http://blog.aldomatic.com/facebook-style-slide-out-menu-in-jquery-mobile/
Solution 1:
As I told you in comments, jQM style can not be applied outside of page container but that should not prevent you from using its css.
If you are using firefox, use firebug plugin and take a look at every jQM page element, copy its structure and css. Use it to create styling outside page container.
One more thing, new elements are going to be styled but they will not have functionality, you will need to redo it by yourself.
Solution2:
Have your content inside a data-role="page" div at page-load, let jQuery Mobile style the page, and then move your content div out of the data-role="page" div to be a child of the body tag.
