Using codemirror in jquery.ui.dialog loses focus onload - jquery-ui

i try to use codemirror in a jquery ui dialog.
here you can see the result in jsfiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/HtntY/
the problem is that the content in codemirror does not appear on first load. it only appears after you set focus on the editor and than type something, after that the preloaded content appears.
can this be fixed somehow. i tried to do it with the refresh() function without success.
thanks for you short time.

Looks like jQuery UI hasn't actually unhid the DIV when the opener runs. Putting a refresh call in a timeout (as in http://jsfiddle.net/NP9SL/ ) seems to do the trick.

I ran into the same problem and wound up running the editor.refresh() off the focus event, FWIW. I thought I'd mention another, somewhat related problem. If you try to take advantage of the CodeMirror dialog/search functionality inside of JQueryUI modal dialog, the integrated search dialog fails to get focus and you can't type into it. Interestingly I can paste text into the search field, but I cant type. Have yet to find a way around this other than setting modal to false.

Select2 - Add pending tag after losing focus

I am trying to use select2 for creating tags, but when I'm writing a new tag and I lose the focus of the field (click somewhere else, for example) what I was writing gets deleted.
Is there a way that after losing focus to the input of the select2, a new tag gets created?
From the documentation:
$('select').select2({
selectOnClose: true
});
This will capture the selection and create a tag if the user clicks elsewhere.
It looks like the browser problem that i've seen.
It seems that the tags option doesn't work correctly on ie11.
I don't have the same behavior between ie11 and chrome (and edge). If you check the example https://select2.github.io/examples.html#tags with ie, it is not possible to add tag. You can start taping letter but you lose the focus immediately.
Everything works on Chrome and Edge.
Is it this sort of problem, you've got.

Select2 additional checkbox not checking

Hei guys.
I'm trying to add additional HTML elements below search box.. like checkboxes for filtering purposes.
But the added checkbox is not functional, you can't actually check it. I'm not sure but I think that search box is taking the focus from them... I created this jsFiddle so you guys can check it out.
http://jsfiddle.net/6wz2hLh0/
$("#e1").select2();
//Inserting additional HTML elements below search... filter in my case
$(".select2-search").after("<input type='checkbox'/>");
When the dropdown is open you can't even write in jsFiddle input's.
I tried commenting out various focus calls from source code with no luck.
Can any one point me in to right direction in source code what is causing this non stop search box focussing.
One thing to try is to have the checkbox element stop the mouse events from propagating. That seems to prevent them from getting to Select2, so Select2 cannot kill them.
$("<input type='checkbox'/>")
.insertAfter(".select2-search")
.on('mousedown mouseup click', function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); });

My guess is that this is because Select2 kills (stops propagation and prevents default) most events that occur within the dropdown. This is so Select2 doesn't leak events, but it also causes problems like not being able to catch click events or embed links.
When the dropdown is open you can't even write in jsFiddle input's.
This is because Select2 uses a mask that captures all events outside of the dropdown.

You are going to want to look through the source for killEvent, as this is the method Select2 uses that kills events. As most browsers listen for the click event for native controls, you probably want to remove this killEvent for dropdown clicks.

TinyMCE won't display properly in Fancybox on second view in IE8

I'm using a fancybox to display a form with a tinyMCE inside it in a rails app. The first time I open the fancybox it works fine, but when I close it and reopen it, the initial value of the tinyMCE doesn't appear until I type a character into the tinyMCE.
Upon debugging, I found that the first time I close the fancybox, I get an error where 'window.parent.tinyMCE' is null or not an object, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. Does anyone know how to make sure the tinyMCE shows the initial value on load?
I figured it out in case anyone is having this issue -- in the afterShow callback, I added tinyMCE.get(editor_id).initContentBody();

jQuery radio buttons disappear after click in IE and FF, works fine in chrome

I have multiple sets of jQuery radio buttons on a jQuery modal dialog. Clicking one in each set hides or shows divs. Anyway, they work perfectly in Chrome, but in FF and IE, they work hide/show the divs properly... but they start disappearing as they're clicked.
I've tried adding plain radio buttons that do nothing, but they still disappear individually as they're clicked. Am I missing some sort of declaration?
I would post the code, but it can literally be a copy from the jQuery website for radio buttons and they'll still disappear.
Thanks for any help.
Have you tried the same example page from another system? If all examples you can find have this behavior, I'd start to suspect your display driver or even hardware. Give a link for a page that you see the problem with, and we can see if it happens for us.
I'm still not quite sure what the problem is, but I implemented a work around.
In Chrome, I remember I had to add an unused jQuery radio button at the top... that hides when the dialog is opened... and "unhides" when the dialog is closed (the dialog is hidden when closed, so the user doesn't ever see this radio button).
For some reason I had to add another one of these jQuery radio buttons that hides and unhides itself to prevent the disappearing jQuery radio buttons in IE9 and FF. So in my case, Chrome required one of these fake buttons... while IE and FF needed two.
Anyway, I think the root of the problem stems from my overall layout template. I think multiple divs all over the place are screwing something up somewhere.
I'm just an amateur programmer so I know this isn't the solution that I'm sure many people would be looking for, but it works for now so at least I'm able to move on.

jQuery UI autocomplete combobox in a modal dialog

I want to use a autocomplete combobox http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox within a modal dialog. However whenever I click on the down arrow (of the combobox) it causes a refresh that results in my modal window closing.
How do I stop the refresh from occuring? (I am still new to jQuery)
I am using UI 1.8 and jQuery 1.4.1.
The problem is discussed on the jQuery forum here:
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/autocomplete-combobox-problem-when-it-is-placed-inside-a-form-tag
They suggest several different ways of adjusting the source code of the autocomplete combo to fix it. The simplest one seems to be this:
Change the line that says
$("<button> </button>")
to
$("<button type=\"button\"> </button>")
this prevents the type="submit" from being inserted into the final button.
Ok I fixed my own problem by removing the form tag from around the combobox
