Animate jQuery UI dialog auto resize - jquery-ui

I have a dialog with a dynamic form inside that can increase the height of the dialog. autoResize is set to true, width is 500. Is there any way to animate the dialog resize when more content is added?

Animating dialog size, while staying in the center of the screen
jQuery("#dialog").dialog("widget").animate({
width: '400px',
height: '110px'
}, {
duration: 500,
step: function() {
jQuery("#dialog").dialog('option', 'position', 'center');
}
});

Originally I was using .show('fade') and the size of the dialog would jump whenever .show was called. When using the effect .show('fast') or .show('slow'), the dialog is resized in a sliding fashion which works for me.

When i was using #Steven's answer i have issues with content size, like #jedierikb said in comment. So i created this code and it works.
$(dialogSel).dialog("widget").animate({
width: 100,
height: 200
}, {
duration: 200,
step: function (now, tween) {
if (tween.prop == "width") {
$(dialogSel).dialog("option", "width", now);
} else {
$(dialogSel).dialog("option", "height", now);
}
}
});

yAxis resizer to change svgrenderer position also highcharts

I have a chart with some indicators below it. Each indicator area consists
of a svg renderer button. so when I use resize property to drag and resize
the panes, the series resized perfectly but the button remains in its same
position, Can we move the button with the resizer?
Here I created a sample link to regenerate
https://jsfiddle.net/q0ybpnvx/2/
Any help will be appreciated. I am having great trouble. Thank you
You can add and position the custom button in render event:
chart: {
events: {
render: function() {
var chart = this;
if (chart.customBtn) {
chart.customBtn.attr({
y: chart.yAxis[1].top,
});
} else {
chart.customBtn = chart.renderer.button(
'sometext',
5,
chart.yAxis[1].top,
function() {
console.log('some task')
}).add()
}
}
}
},

API Reference:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/chart.events.render
https://api.highcharts.com/class-reference/Highcharts.SVGElement#attr
I was able to do something by manually changing the x/y attributes of my svgRenderer label, the same should apply to buttons.
I'm in angular and have a listener for screen resizing:
Also Note that you can change the entire SVGRenderer label with the attr.text property.
this.chart = Highcharts.chart(.....);
// I used a helper method to create the label
this.chart.myLabel = this.labelCreationHelperMethod(this.chart, data);
this.windowEventService.resize$.subscribe(dimensions => {
if(dimensions.x < 500) { //this would be your charts resize breakpoint
// here I was using a specific chart series property to tell where to put my x coordinate,
// you can traverse through the chart object to find a similar number,
// or just use a hardcoded number
this.chart.myLabel.attr({ y: 15, x: this.chart.series[0].points[0].plotX + 20 });
} else {
this.chart.myLabel.attr({ y: 100, x: this.chart.series[0].points[0].plotX + 50 });
}
}
//Returns the label object that we keep a reference to in the chart object.
labelCreationHelperMethod() {
const y = screen.width > 500 ? 100 : 15; 
const x = screen.width > 500 ? this.chart.series[0].points[0].plotX + 50 :
this.chart.series[0].points[0].plotX + 20
// your label
const label = `<div style="color: blue"...> My Label Stuff</div>`
return chart.renderer.label(label, x, y, 'callout', offset + chart.plotLeft, chart.plotTop + 80, true)
.attr({
fill: '#e8e8e8',
padding: 15,
r: 5,
zIndex: 6
})
.add();
}

Jquery animate() to slide from right to left

We have an application which is implemented with slide up animation already. But, now we want to change that to slide right animation. We want to display a slideshow like display for the content. What all i need to change in the existing code, to do so?
function gallery() {
//if no IMGs have the show class, grab the first image
var current = ($('#gallery a.show') ? $('#gallery a.show') : $('#gallery a:first'));
//Get next image, if it reached the end of the slideshow, rotate it back to the first image
var next = ((current.next().length) ? ((current.next().hasClass('caption')) ?
$('#gallery a:first') : current.next()) : $('#gallery a:first'));
//Get next image caption
var caption = next.find('img').attr('rel');
//Set the fade in effect for the next image, show class has higher z-index
next.css({
opacity: 0.0
})
.addClass('show')
.animate({
opacity: 1.0
}, 1000);
//Hide the current image
current.animate({
opacity: 0.0
}, 1000)
.removeClass('show');
//Set the opacity to 0 and height to 1px
$('#gallery .caption').animate({
opacity: 0.0
}, {
queue: false,
duration: 0
}).animate({
height: '1px'
}, {
queue: true,
duration: 300
});
//Animate the caption, opacity to 0.7 and heigth to 100px, a slide up effect
$('#gallery .caption').animate({
opacity: 0.7
}, 100).animate({
==> height: '20px'
}, 500);
//Display the content
$('#gallery .content').html(caption);
}
This code, slides up the content. I tried placing,
right: '700px', in the line marked with ==>
In that case, it appeared like, the second content alone came from right to left.
Any help is greatly meant.
Thanks
In line 42 try replacing the line height: '1px' with width: '1px'. Just a thought, cant guarantee it will work.

Keep a jQuery dialog in a div

I am trying to create a number of jQuery dialogs but I would like to constrain their positions to inside a parent div. I am using the following code to create them (on a side note the oppacity option is not working either...):
var d= $('<div title="Title goes here"></div>').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
closeOnEscape: false,
draggable: true,
resizable: false,
width: dx,
height: dy
});
d.draggable('option', 'containment', 'parent');
d.draggable('option', 'opacity', 0.45);
$('#controlContent').append(d.parent());
A bit more helpful and complete version of above solution.
It even limits the resizing outside of the div too!
And the JavaScript is fully commented.

jQuery(function($)
{
// When the document is ready run the code inside the brackets.
$("button").button(); // Makes the button fancy (ie. jquery-ui styled)
$("#dialog").dialog(
{
// Set the settings for the jquery-ui dialog here.
autoOpen: false, // Don't open the dialog instantly. Let an event such as a button press open it. Optional.
position: { my: "center", at: "center", of: "#constrained_div" } // Set the position to center of the div.
}).parent().resizable(
{
// Settings that will execute when resized.
containment: "#constrained_div" // Constrains the resizing to the div.
}).draggable(
{
// Settings that execute when the dialog is dragged. If parent isn't used the text content will have dragging enabled.
containment: "#constrained_div", // The element the dialog is constrained to.
opacity: 0.70 // Fancy opacity. Optional.
});
$("#button").click(function()
{
// When our fancy button is pressed the stuff inside the brackets will be executed.
$("#dialog").dialog("open"); // Opens the dialog.
});
});

I have found a way to do it. This is now my method for creating a dialog:
var d = $('<div title="Title"></div>').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
closeOnEscape: false,
resizable: false,
width: 100,
height: 100
});
d.parent().find('a').find('span').attr('class', 'ui-icon ui-icon-minus');
d.parent().draggable({
containment: '#controlContent',
opacity: 0.70
});
$('#controlContent').append(d.parent());

jQuery UI Draggable set drag size

I have a number of small icons which are draggable via jQuery which i clone, can i make the draggable icon larger when drag starts?
You could set the .height() and .width() using the start and stop events, something like this:
$(".icon").draggable({
start: function() {
$(this).height(100).width(100); //drag dimensions
},
stop: function() {
$(this).height(50).width(50); //original icon size
}
});​
You can give it a try here, or a bit more compact:
$(".icon").draggable({
start: function() {
$(this).css({ height: 100, width: 100 });
},
stop: function() {
$(this).css({ height: 50, width: 50 });
}
});​
Bind events to dragstart and dragend, see sample here:
Active Drag Demo (number 5)
And addClass() when dragging start with styles that couse image will be bigger, and removeClass() when drag stops.

jquery ui dialog fixed positioning

I needed the dialog to maintain its position fixed even if the page scrolled, so i used the
extension at http://forum.jquery.com/topic/dialog-position-fixed-12-1-2010 but there's 2 problems with it:
it flickers in IE and Firefox on page scroll (in Safari/Chrome it's fine)
on closing and then reopening, it looses its stickyness and scrolls along with the page.
Here's the code i'm using for creating the dialog:
$('<div id="'+divpm_id+'"><div id="inner_'+divpm_id+'"></div><textarea class="msgTxt" id="txt'+divpm_id+'" rows="2"></textarea></div>')
.dialog({
autoOpen: true,
title: user_str,
height: 200,
stack: true,
sticky: true //uses ui dialog extension to keep it fixed
});
And here's the code i'm using for reopening it:
jQuery('#'+divpm_id).parent().css('display','block');
Suggestions/solutions?
Thanks
I tried some of the solutions posted here, but they don't work if the page has been scrolled prior to the dialog being opened. The problem is that it calculates the position without taking into account the scroll position, because the position is absolute during this calculation.
The solution I found was to set the dialog's parent's CSS to fixed PRIOR to opening the dialog.
$('#my-dialog').parent().css({position:"fixed"}).end().dialog('open');
This assumes that you have already initialized the dialog with autoOpen set to false.
Note, this does not work if the dialog is resizable. It must be initialized with resizing disabled in order for the position to remain fixed.
$('#my-dialog').dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false });
Tested this thoroughly and have found no bugs so far.
I combined some suggested solutions to the following code.
Scrolling, moving and resizing works fine for me in Chrome, FF and IE9.
$(dlg).dialog({
create: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStop: function(event, ui) {
var position = [(Math.floor(ui.position.left) - $(window).scrollLeft()),
(Math.floor(ui.position.top) - $(window).scrollTop())];
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
$(dlg).dialog('option','position',position);
}
});
Update:
If you want to make it default for all dialogs:
$.ui.dialog.prototype._oldinit = $.ui.dialog.prototype._init;
$.ui.dialog.prototype._init = function() {
$(this.element).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
$(this.element).dialog("option",{
resizeStop: function(event,ui) {
var position = [(Math.floor(ui.position.left) - $(window).scrollLeft()),
(Math.floor(ui.position.top) - $(window).scrollTop())];
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
// $(event.target).parent().dialog('option','position',position);
// removed parent() according to hai's comment (I didn't test it)
$(event.target).dialog('option','position',position);
return true;
}
});
this._oldinit();
};
I could not get Scott's answer to work with jQuery UI 1.9.1. My solution is to reposition the dialog in a callback from the open event. First set the css position to fixed. Then position the dialog where you want it:
$('selector').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).dialog('widget')
.css({ position: 'fixed' })
.position({ my: 'center', at: 'center', of: window });
},
resizable: false
});
Note: As noted in another answer, resizing the dialog will set its position to absolute again, so I've disabled resizable.
Bsed on Langdons's comment above, I tried the following, which works fine with jQuery-UI 1.10.0 and resizable dialogs:
$('#metadata').dialog(
{
create: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStart: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
},
resizeStop: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed');
}
});
try:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myDialog').dialog({dialogClass: "flora"});
$('.flora.ui-dialog').css({position:"fixed"});
)};
(from http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/2848)
Force your dialog box's position to be position:fixed using CSS
$('.selector').dialog({ dialogClass: 'myPosition' });
and define the myPosition css class as:
.myPosition {
position: fixed;
}
$("#myDilog").dialog({
create:function(){
$(this).parent().css({position:"fixed"});
}
});
I found that these answers didn't work for me but combining some of them did.
I used the create function to set the dialog as fixed so it didn't scroll the window down when the dialog was created.
create: function (event) {
$(event.target).parent().css('position', 'fixed')
}
Also I used the open function to make sure the dialog didn't disappear off the screen by changing the top value.
open: function(event, ui) {
$(event.target).parent().css('top', '30%')
}
This worked with autoOpen and resizable.
$('#myDialog').dialog({ dialogClass: "flora" });
$('.flora.ui-dialog').css({ top: "8px" });
this will keep the dialog on top position no matter were we have clicked.
$('#'+tweetidstack.pop()).dialog("open").parent().css({position:"fixed"});
Why use $(document).ready ? This might be a recent development, but it works fine now.
$( ".ui-dialog" ).css("position","fixed");
$( ".ui-dialog" ).css("top","10px");
put this code on open function of dialog
First, create your dialog. Something like this:
$("#dialog_id").dialog({
autoOpen : false,
modal : true,
width: "auto",
resizable: false,
show: 'fade',
hide: { effect:"drop",duration:400,direction:"up" },
position: top,
height: 'auto',
title: "My awesome dialog",
resizeStart: function(event, ui) {
positionDialog();
},
resizeStop: function(event, ui) {
positionDialog();
}
});
$("#dialog_id").dialog('open');
Then make it auto center with this:
function positionDialog (){
setInterval(function(){
if($("#dialog_id").dialog( "isOpen" )){
$("#dialog_id").dialog('option','position',$("#dialog_id").dialog( "option", "position" ));
}
},500);
}
//setInterval is for make it change position "smoothly"
//You can take it off and leave just the if clausule and its content inside the function positionDialog.
The solution is actually really simple. I don't know if this applied when the question was asked but it does now anyway.
//First a container/parent-div with fixed position is needed
var dialogContainer=document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
dialogContainer.style.position="fixed";
dialogContainer.style.top=dialogContainer.style.left="50%";//helps centering the window
 
//Now whenever a dialog is to be created do it something like this:
$(myDialogContent).dialog({
appendTo: dialogContainer,
position: {
at: 'center center',
of: dialogContainer
}
});
About "appendTo": http://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#option-appendTo
About "position": http://api.jqueryui.com/position/
While similar to some of the other answers above, I've found that I had to do more than just position: fix the dialog, but I also had to position: static it's content to keep it attached to the dialog.
$('<div id="myDialog" class="myClass">myContent</div>')
.dialog(dialogOptions)
.parent()
.css({ position: 'fixed' })
.end()
.position({ my: 'center', at: 'center', of: window })
.css({ position: 'static' });
After this, I could call .dialog('open') any time I wanted and it would simply appear where I left it. I actually have this in a function that will return the existing dialog or create a new one as needed and then I just change the values of the dialog before .dialog('open') gets called.
As i wrote in my blog https://xbrowser.altervista.org/informatica-portata/jquery-easyui-bug-fix-window-dialog-position-widget/
I've found a bug in “window” element or “dialog” element.
When you instantiate this widget, it go out of the main window browser, in particular in top and left position (when you drag o resize it).
To resolve this problem i’ve implemented this solution.
You can read the source code below:
$(dialog).window({
onMove: function(left, top) {
if (left < 0 || top < 0) {
left = (left < 0) ? 0 : left;
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).window('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
},
onResize: function(width, height) {
var opt = $(this).window("options");
var top = opt.top;
var left = opt.left;
if (top < 0) {
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).window('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
}
}).window("open");
The same code is for dialog:
$(dialog).dialog({
onMove: function(left, top) {
if (left < 0 || top < 0) {
left = (left < 0) ? 0 : left;
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).dialog('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
},
onResize: function(width, height) {
var opt = $(this).window("options");
var top = opt.top;
var left = opt.left;
if (top < 0) {
top = (top < 0) ? 0 : top;
$(this).dialog('move', {left: left, top: top});
}
}
}).dialog("open");
Futhermore, when you call “$(this).window(“options”);” inside “onResize” method, and start your App,
you don’t see the window; so i must insert the “.window(“open”);” at the and of declaration of dialog.
I hope to help you.
