click event using jquery live - jquery-ui

I have the following script which works as long as the are static html
$('li.tab').each(function(index) {
$("#tab" + index ).click(function() {$("#tabs").tabs( "select" , index );});
});
This is what the static html looks like:
<div class="item" id="tab0"><div class="icon" style="background-image: url('http://intranet/icon0.png');"></div> Default</div>
<div class="item" id="tab1"><div class="icon" style="background-image: url('http://intranet/icon1.png');"></div> Reports</div>
<div class="item" id="tab2"><div class="icon" style="background-image: url('http://intranet/icon2.png');"></div> Other</div>
If I use a database to generate the 3 html lines via jquery/ajax, do I have to use the jquery live function to connect the click event look in the script above?
If yes, how would I do this?

yes you need to use live
$('li.tab').each(function(index) {
$("#tab" + index).live('click', function() {
// ...
});
});

$('.your_target_class').live('click', function () {
//your code here.
});

Instead of .live(), use .delegate() which you bind to an object that surrounds what you're targeting. You can chain .delegate() plus it's better performance wise (you can look it up here http://jquerybyexample.blogspot.com/2010/08/bind-vs-live-vs-delegate-function.html)
Also, don't forget to use .die()/.undelegate(), otherwise you're running a risk of firing multiple requests (ie, if your .live() declaration gets called multiple times, your click event will fire multiple times. You can look this up here jQuery UI ajax tabs - requests multiplying when loading links within tabs)
Mind you, jQuery 1.4.2 has a bug in it's .live(), take that into account.

Change href attribute pointing to popup id jquery Mobile

How can I use jquery to change the id of a div acting as a jquery mobile popup as well as the href of the anchor pointing to the popup?
In my webapp I have an anchor that, when clicked, brings up a jquery mobile popup div all of which I'm inserting dynamically. In any instance of the webapp, I don't know how many times this code will be inserted. Therefore, my understanding is that I need to be able to dynamically create a unique id for the jquery mobile popup div and set the href of my popup icon.
I am not currently succeeding at dynamically changing the id and href. I've created the following test (JSFiddle Test).
Here is my sample html:
<div class="phone1">
<p class="textLeft"> <strong>Number: </strong><span>(555)555-5555</span>
Learn more
</p>
<div id="myPopup" data-role="popup" class="ui-content" data-theme="a" style="max-width:350px;">
<p class="flagText">This number has been flagged as incorrect</p>
</div>
</div>
Change href property
Here is my sample javascript / jquery:
$('#changeButton').click(function () {
alert("Handler for .click() called.");
$('.phone1 > a').prop('href', 'myNewPopup');
$('#myPopup').attr('id', 'myNewPopup');
});
Thank you for your help in advance!
As your anchor is not a direct child of .phone1 but rather a grandchild, the > selector does not work. Also the href needs the # symbol:
$('.phone1 a').prop('href', '#myNewPopup');
Technically you should also use prop to update the id as well:
$('#myPopup').prop('id', 'myNewPopup');
Updated FIDDLE
Are you sure you need to do this. After dynamically inserting the popup the first time, you could just update it each successive time by testing if it exists in the DOM first:
if ($("#myPopup").length > 0){
//update
} else {
//create
}

Using data-direction with dynamically loaded pages

I'm trying to load dynamic pages with jQuery, following this example.
(EDIT): Updated the code to provide a better view of the context
Here is a code sample
<div data-role="page" id="pageSample">
<div data-role="header">title</div>
<div data-role="content">
<a href="#home" data-role="button" data-transition="slide" data-direction='reverse'>Home</a>
</div>
<div data-role="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
$(document).bind( "pagebeforechange", function( e, data ) {
// Generate dynamic content of targeted pages...
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
dataUrl:url,
reverse:reverse
});
});
The back button may be dynamically generated or not (such as this snippet). In both cases, it does not work reverse, as changePage is triggered through pagebeforechange.
Therefore, I inserted a reverse variable in changePage() options.
I can't find a way to retrieve the data-direction value of the clicked item.
I tried this just before changePage():
reverse = false;
$('a[data-direction="reverse"]').on("click", function(){
reverse = true;
});
But the reverse value is not updated in changePage(). I guess both codes run synchronously.
Is there a way to update the reverse value in changePage() ?
Final update
As per our discussion and your example http://jsfiddle.net/Iris/UZBhx/21/
Change this
$('a').on("click", function()
to
$(document).on("click", 'a', function()
Another update
Binding the $.mobile.changePage to pagebeforechange triggers all your code twice. Thus you lose the value of reverse or it gets neglected when the command executes the first time.
Try binding it to pagebeforehide as below.
$(document).bind( 'pagebeforehide', '[data-role="page"]#PageId', function( e, data ) {
// Generate dynamic content of targeted pages...
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
dataUrl:url,
reverse:reverse
});
});
Update
To use reverse effect on specific buttons, you can follow this method.
First, assign a class for buttons with reverse effect, e.g. ui-reverse and add the below script.
$(document).on('click', '[data-role='button'].ui-reverse', function() {
$.mobile.changePage( url, {
transition:"slide",
reverse: true,
dataUrl:url
});
});
"Back" button links - Jquery Mobile
data-direction="reverse"
Is meant to simply run the backwards version of the transition that will run on that page change, while data-rel="back" makes the link functionally equivalent to the browser's back button and all the standard back button logic applies.
data-rel="back"
This will mimic the back button, going back one history entry and ignoring the anchor's default href.
Adding data-direction="reverse" to a link with data-rel="back" will not reverse the reversed page transition and produce the "normal" version of the transition.
In your case, you want to reverse transition, use the below code.
$.mobile.changePage($(page), {
transition:"slide",
reverse: true, // this will reverse the affect of the transition used in the page.
dataUrl:url
});

Append html to div not working on cordova iOS

I am using cordova 2.2.0 with Xcode 4.5.2. On one of my pages I have a select component and once a particular option is selected I want to display a table within a div. My html looks like this: <div class="hero-unit" id="#facprog"></div>
The javascript/jquery looks like this:
<pre><code>
$(function() {
$('#selFaculty').change(function() {
var facultyName = $('#selFaculty').val();
var progDetails = app.fillFacultyProgramme(facultyName);
alert(progDetails);
$('#facprog').append(progDetails);
});
});
</code></pre>
Note that #selFaculty is the id of the select object. However, when the select option changes, everything in javascript executes except for the append. Nothing shows up in the div. Is there a different way to add html element to a div in jquery under cordova 2.2.0 in iOS?
Thanks in advance,
José
With jquery you can refresh a div.
This is a good example:
<script>
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function()
{
$('#loaddiv').fadeOut('slow').load('reload.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 20000);
</script>
and now you need to put the div in the body section of your page
<div id="loaddiv">
</div>
from http://designgala.com/how-to-refresh-div-using-jquery/
and there is another example here:
refresh div with jquery
The first example is useful when you need to load a script and refresh and the second one is useful when you need to make a change, e.g. append html and then refresh as in your case.

jQuery UI tabs: How do I load a specific element from a different page?

I have jQuery UI tabs set up, but a problem that I'm having with links to different pages is that they load all contents of the page into the tab. This includes the footer, header, and other navbars that I don't want in the tab. What if I would only like to load a single ID from that page?
My tabs are set up this way:
<div id="mytabs">
<ul>
<li>Awesome page</li>
<li>Foo</li>
</ul>
</div>
Nothing much going on in the jQuery...
$(function() {
$( "#mytabs" ).tabs();
});
Let's say this is the html of "awesomepage" (that the first link targets):
<html>
<head>
<title>awesome page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">bla</div>
<div id="awesomeness">awesomeness!</div>
<div id="footer">fdsfd</div>
</body>
</html>
...And I only want the tab to load #awesomeness from the page. How would I go about doing this? I've read into some guides that do that by adding a data-target="#youridhere" attribute to the HTML, but I'm still confused on how to implement the javascript. It seems like this is a convenient solution, as I won't be targeting the same ID in every page. Any clues on how to get the javascript working?
Thanks in advance!
The function that allow to load partial code of the response is the $.load() function.
Unfortunately, the tabs() feature does not use this function but use $.ajax instead.
You can try this solution:
You can try to stop the default processing on the beforeLoad callback and manage your ajax call with the $.load() method.
(base on the 1.9 documentation, you may should adapt)
$('#tabs').tabs({
// Callback run when selecting a tab
beforeLoad: function(event, ui) {
// If the panel is already populated do nothing
if (ui.panel.children().size() > 0)
return false;
// Make your own ajax load (with fragment feature)
ui.panel.load(ui.tab.attr('href') + ' #yourFragment');
// stop the default process (default ajax call should not be launched)
return false;
});
NOTICE: I'm not sure about extracting the URL with ui.tab.attr('href'), check before what object is ui.tab, but it should be easy to retrieve the href parameter.
Good luck
Got the solution :) Using one of the answers as a reference point, the tabs can now load a single element specified in the data-target attribute. Here is the modified version:
$(function() {
$('#tabs').tabs(
{
beforeLoad: function(event, ui) {
if (ui.panel.children().size() > 0)
return false;
ui.panel.load($('a', ui.tab).attr('href') + $('a', ui.tab).attr('data-target'));
return false;
}
});
});

jQuery Mobile - back button

I am developing the application using jQuery Mobile 4.1.
In my app, I have two html pages like login.html and home.html. In the home.html have 3 pages. () like menupage, searchpage, resultpage.
The project flow is login.html ---> home.html. In home.html, menupage is displayed as a first page. If I choose the some option in the menupage it will move to searchpage and then resultpage. consider, currently I am in the resultpage. If I press the back button on the mobile browsers (iPhone-safari, Android-chrome) then it moves to the login.html.
But I want to display the searchPage. How to solve this one? is it possible to do this?
[Note : The pages should be in the single html page(home.html).
use the attribute data-rel="back" on the anchor tag instead of the hash navigation, this will take you to the previous page
Look at back linking: Here
Newer versions of JQuery mobile API (I guess its newer than 1.5) require adding 'back' button explicitly in header or bottom of each page.
So, try adding this in your page div tags:
data-add-back-btn="true"
data-back-btn-text="Back"
Example:
<div data-role="page" id="page2" data-add-back-btn="true" data-back-btn-text="Back">
try
$(document).ready(function(){
$('mybutton').click(function(){
parent.history.back();
return false;
});
});
or
$(document).ready(function(){
$('mybutton').click(function(){
parent.history.back();
});
});
You can try this script in the header of HTML code:
<script>
$.extend( $.mobile , {
ajaxEnabled: false,
hashListeningEnabled: false
});
</script>
You can use nonHistorySelectors option from jquery mobile where you do not want to track history. You can find the detailed documentation here http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/api/globalconfig.html
This is for version 1.4.4
<div data-role="header" >
<h1>CHANGE HOUSE ANIMATION</h1>
Back
</div>
try to use li can be more even
<ul>
<li>back</li>
</ul>
