Is there a addon somewhere that adds mousewheel support to the jQuery UI datepicker? (So that using the mousewheel over the calendar causes the month to advance/go back.)
The changelog seems to indicate that mousewheel support was added in 1.7, but it looks like that changeset actually had nothing to do with the datepicker. A cursory search of 1.8 indicates there's no built-in mousewheel support.
I know Keith Wood's datepicker supports the mousewheel, but I'm using this timepicker, which depends on jQuery UI's datepicker.
It can be easily added by adding the following code to your ready function. It uses the jQuery mousewheel extension and adds a live event listener for mousewheel events on jQuery UI datepicker divs. If one is detected, it triggers the click event on the prev/next month button.
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/PSFgY/
$('.ui-datepicker').live("mousewheel", function(event, delta){
if(delta < 0){
$(this).find('.ui-datepicker-next').click();
} else {
$(this).find('.ui-datepicker-prev').click();
}
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
});
A small update:
As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers.
Also I had to use event.originalEvent.wheelDelta to get the delta.
$(document).on('mousewheel', '.ui-datepicker', function (event) {
var sel = event.originalEvent.wheelDelta < 0 ? '.ui-datepicker-next' : '.ui-datepicker-prev';
$(this).find(sel).click();
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
});
Here is another way to handle the problem especially when minimum and maximum dates are set:
$('.ui-datepicker').bind("mousewheel", function(e){
var delta = e.originalEvent.wheelDelta;
if(delta < 0){
$(this).find('.ui-datepicker-next').click();
} else {
$(this).find('.ui-datepicker-prev').click();
}
e.preventDefault();
});

I don't really understand what they're saying about pageshow on the jQuery Mobile site:
The triggering of this event is deprecated as of jQuery Mobile 1.4.0.
It will no longer be triggered in 1.6.0. The replacement for pageshow
is the pagecontainer widget's pagecontainershow event. In jQuery
Mobile 1.4.0, the two events are identical except for their name and
the fact that pagecontainershow is triggered on the pagecontainer,
whereas pageshow is triggered on the page.
I don't think it's a matter of changing 'pageshow' to 'pagecontainershow'. I think it's a different selector, isn't it?
You use the $(":mobile-pagecontainer") or $(document) or $("body") selectors
$( ":mobile-pagecontainer" ).on( "pagecontainershow", function( event, ui ) {
var newPageID = ui.toPage.prop("id");
});
API Doc: http://api.jquerymobile.com/pagecontainer/#event-show
Then to see which page is being shown check the ui.toPage jQuery object.
I fill list dynamically, and after that on click I have multiple calls of event. 1st time it is repeated 1 time, 2nd time 2 times, 3rd time 3 times, etc...
First, more about this problem can be found in my other answer: jQuery Mobile: document ready vs page events
Prevent multiple event binding/triggering
Because of interesting jQM loading architecture, multiple event triggering is a constant problem. For example, take a look at this code snipet:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow','#index' ,function(e,data){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/CCfL4/
Each time you visit page #index click event will is going to be bound to button #test-button. There are few ways to prevent this problem:
Solution 1:
Remove event before you bind it:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die().live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Working jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/K8YmG/
In case you have different events bound to an object:
$('#index').live('pagebeforeshow',function(e,data){
$('#test-button').die('click').live('click', function(e) {
alert('Button click');
});
});
Solution 2:
Use a jQuery Filter selector, like this:
$('#carousel div:Event(!click)').each(function(){
//If click is not bind to #carousel div do something
});
Because event filter is not a part of official jQuery framework it can be found here: http://www.codenothing.com/archives/2009/event-filter/
In a nutshell, if speed is your main concern then Solution 2 is much better then Solution 1.
Solution 3:
A new one, probably an easiest of them all.
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){
$(document).on('click', '#test-button',function(e) {
if(e.handled !== true) // This will prevent event triggering more then once
{
alert('Clicked');
e.handled = true;
}
});
});

Is there a way to replace all click event by vclick event in jQuery mobile?
The only solution I've found so far is to register a vclick event as below
$('a').bind("vclick", function (ev) {
// Do Some stuff
ev.preventDefault();
});
The problem is that this solution doesn't prevent jQuery mobile click event to fire so clicks are triggered twice
For some reason, I got the following to work:
$('a').bind('vclick click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//do some stuff//
})
Without the e.preventDefault() the event fires twice. With it, it only fires once (but it does fire)
This is similar to what you stated, but may be more all encompassing.
$("#elementId").bind('vclick',function(event){
event.preventDefault();
//your code..
});
this is working properly.
How do you trigger jQuery UI's AutoComplete change event handler programmatically?
Hookup
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies,
change: handleCompanyChanged
});
Misc Attempts Thus Far
$("#CompanyList").change();
$("#CompanyList").trigger("change");
$("#CompanyList").triggerHandler("change");
Based on other answers it should work:
How to trigger jQuery change event in code
jQuery Autocomplete and on change Problem
JQuery Autocomplete help
The change event fires as expected when I manually interact with the AutoComplete input via browser; however I would like to programmatically trigger the change event in some cases.
What am I missing?
Here you go. It's a little messy but it works.
$(function () {
var companyList = $("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
change: function() {
alert('changed');
}
});
companyList.autocomplete('option','change').call(companyList);
});
this will work,too
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source : yourSource,
change : yourChangeHandler
})
// deprecated
//$("#CompanyList").data("autocomplete")._trigger("change")
// use this now
$("#CompanyList").data("ui-autocomplete")._trigger("change")
It's better to use the select event instead. The change event is bound to keydown as Wil said. So if you want to listen to change on selection use select like that.
$("#yourcomponent").autocomplete({
select: function(event, ui) {
console.log(ui);
}
});
They are binding to keydown in the autocomplete source, so triggering the keydown will case it to update.
$("#CompanyList").trigger('keydown');
They aren't binding to the 'change' event because that only triggers at the DOM level when the form field loses focus. The autocomplete needs to respond faster than 'lost focus' so it has to bind to a key event.
Doing this:
companyList.autocomplete('option','change').call(companyList);
Will cause a bug if the user retypes the exact option that was there before.
Here is a relatively clean solution for others looking up this topic:
// run when eventlistener is triggered
$("#CompanyList").on( "autocompletechange", function(event,ui) {
// post value to console for validation
console.log($(this).val());
});
Per api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/, this binds a function to the eventlistener. It is triggered both when the user selects a value from the autocomplete list and when they manually type in a value. The trigger fires when the field loses focus.
The simplest, most robust way is to use the internal ._trigger() to fire the autocomplete change event.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source : yourSource,
change : yourChangeHandler
})
$("#CompanyList").data("ui-autocomplete")._trigger("change");
Note, jQuery UI 1.9 changed from .data("autocomplete") to .data("ui-autocomplete"). You may also see some people using .data("uiAutocomplete") which indeed works in 1.9 and 1.10, but "ui-autocomplete" is the official preferred form. See http://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/#changed-naming-convention-for-data-keys for jQuery UI namespaecing on data keys.
You have to manually bind the event, rather than supply it as a property of the initialization object, to make it available to trigger.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies
}).bind( 'autocompletechange', handleCompanyChanged );
then
$("#CompanyList").trigger("autocompletechange");
It's a bit of a workaround, but I'm in favor of workarounds that improve the semantic uniformity of the library!
The programmatically trigger to call the autocomplete.change event is via a namespaced trigger on the source select element.
$("#CompanyList").trigger("blur.autocomplete");
Within version 1.8 of jquery UI..
.bind( "blur.autocomplete", function( event ) {
if ( self.options.disabled ) {
return;
}
clearTimeout( self.searching );
// clicks on the menu (or a button to trigger a search) will cause a blur event
self.closing = setTimeout(function() {
self.close( event );
self._change( event );
}, 150 );
});
I was trying to do the same, but without keeping a variable of autocomplete. I walk throught this calling change handler programatically on the select event, you only need to worry about the actual value of input.
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies,
change: handleCompanyChanged,
select: function(event,ui){
$("#CompanyList").trigger('blur');
$("#CompanyList").val(ui.item.value);
handleCompanyChanged();
}
});
Well it works for me just binding a keypress event to the search input, like this:
... Instantiate your autofill here...
$("#CompanyList").bind("keypress", function(){
if (nowDoing==1) {
nowDoing = 0;
$('#form_459174').clearForm();
}
});
$('#search').autocomplete( { source: items } );
$('#search:focus').autocomplete('search', $('#search').val() );
This seems to be the only one that worked for me.
This post is pretty old, but for thoses who got here in 2016. None of the example here worked for me. Using keyup instead of autocompletechange did the job. Using jquery-ui 10.4
$("#CompanyList").on("keyup", function (event, ui) {
console.log($(this).val());
});
Hope this help!
Another solution than the previous ones:
//With trigger
$("#CompanyList").trigger("keydown");
//With the autocomplete API
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete("search");

I've searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find any help...
I have some textboxes that are created dynamically via JS, so I need to bind all of their classes to an autocomplete. As a result, I need to use the new .live() option.
As an example, to bind all items with a class of .foo now and future created:
$('.foo').live('click', function(){
alert('clicked');
});
It takes (and behaves) the same as .bind(). However, I want to bind an autocomplete...
This doesn't work:
$('.foo').live('autocomplete', function(event, ui){
source: 'url.php' // (surpressed other arguments)
});
How can I use .live() to bind autocomplete?
UPDATE
Figured it out with Framer:
$(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function(){
$(this).autocomplete({
source : 'url.php'
});
});
});
jQuery UI autocomplete function automatically adds the class "ui-autocomplete-input" to the element. I'd recommend live binding the element on focus without the "ui-autocomplete-input"
class to prevent re-binding on every keydown event within that element.
$(".foo:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)").live("focus", function (event) {
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
Edit
My answer is now out of date since jQuery 1.7, see Nathan Strutz's comment for use with the new .on() syntax.
If you are using the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js try this instead
.bind("keydown.autocomplete") or .live("keydown.autocomplete")
if not, use the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js and see if it'll work
If that doesn't apply, I don't know how to help you bro
Just to add, you can use the .livequery plugin for this:
$('.foo').livequery(function() {
// This will fire for each matched element.
// It will also fire for any new elements added to the DOM.
$(this).autocomplete(options);
});
To get autocomplete working when loaded dynamically for the on() event used in jQuery > 1.7, using the syntax Nathan Strutz provides in his comment:
$(document).on('focus', '.my-field:not(.ui-autocomplete-input)', function (e) {
$(this).autocomplete(options)
});
where .my-field is a selector for your autocomplete input element.
.live() does not work with focus.
also keyup.autocmplete does not make any sense.
Instead the thing I have tried and working is this
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.search').live('keyup' , function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
})
This works perfectly fine.
You can't. .live() only supports actual JavaScript events, not any custom event. This is a fundamental limitation of how .live() works.
You can try using this:
$('.foo').live('focus.autocomplete', function() {
$(this).autocomplete({...});
});
After reading and testing everyone else's answers I have updated it for the current version of JQuery and made a few tweaks.
The problem with using keydown as the event that calls .autocomplete() is that it fails to autocomplete for that first letter typed. Using focus is the better choice.
Another thing I have noticed is that all of the given solutions result in .autocomplete() being called multiple times. If you are adding an element dynamically to the page that will not be removed again, the event should only be fired once. Even if the item is to be removed and added again, the event should be removed and then added back each time the element is removed or added so that focusing on the field again will not unnecessarily call .autocomplete() every time.
My final code is as follows:
$(document).on('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete', function(e){
$(this).autocomplete(autocompleteOptions);
$(document).off('focus.autocomplete', '#myAutocomplete');
});
autocomplete is not an event rather a function that enables autocomplete functionality for a textbox.
So if you can modify the js that creates the textboxes dynamically to wrap the textbox element in as a jquery object and call autocomplete on that object.
I just noticed you edited your post with this answer. It was obvious to me so I'm posting it below for others. Thank you.
$(function()
{
$('.search').live('keyup.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete({ source : 'url.php' });
});
});
This works for me:
$(function()
{
$('.item_product').live('focus.autocomplete', function()
{
$(this).autocomplete("/source.php/", {
width: 550,
matchContains: true,
mustMatch: false,
selectFirst: false,
});
});
});
You can just put the autocomplete inside input live event, like this:
$('#input-element').live('input', function(){
$("#input-element").autocomplete(options);
});
