Apply jQuery UI CSS Across Entire Site - jquery-ui

I was wondering - is it possible to apply the jQuery UI CSS to an entire site without having to apply it individually upon elements?
So, for example, instead of having to do:
<input type="button" value="Submit" class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all" />
to all my buttons, I instead have some sort of class applied at at top-level DIV which will change the entire site whenever it can be (any element that jQuery UI can handle). If it's not possible, it's no big deal, but it would be great if it is.

Yes. You can just call
$('button').button()
from your script to select all button elements using jQuery and apply the jQuery UI button theming to them. See, for example, the sample code on the jQuery UI button demo.

I suppose you could apply it on the $(document).ready(function(){$("*").addClass("ui-state-default")});
This is not tested, so don't take my word for it.

jquery mobile + knockout hide issue

I am stuck on this, I am trying to unhide / hide jquery mobile flip switches using knockout. When knockout action is applied the jquery mobile controls stopped working. Could you please help me on this
here is the code
target.formattedValue(target());
return target;
and jsFiddle where the third control would hide if female selected but when male selected again the control disabled and not working
http://jsfiddle.net/FU7Nq/45
San.
When inspecting the rendered DOM of the following element:
<div data-bind="if: isMale">...</div>
you can see that after the radio button is changed to female, then the entire rendered HTML of that DIV is removed. Then, when switching back to the male, the content of that DIV is rendered back, but is this means that events are still attached to those slider HTML elements? I'm not sure how the way jQuery mobile attached the events, but it seems to me that this is the problem, cause you are clicking on the slider, but no action is taken. You can workaround this by recreating the Slider again:
$("#select-ifmale").slider()
Eventually this can be a bug in jQuery mobile. Sorry for suggesting this as an answer, but I don't have enough points, just to comment on your question.

Styled button appearing strange (using Bootstrap, jQuery Mobile) - double text

I'm getting this appearance in my form buttons - notice the double text. I'm using a style sheet generated from jQuery Mobile Download Builder (navigation, location push and transitions selected only). It seems to be jQuery Mobile that is causing this. I've tried data-enhanced="false" on the page div but doesn't seem to do anything. I don't want any styling from jQuery, just the navigation for graceful degradation. For styling, I'm using Bootstrap.
See button - http://ma.rtyn.biz/bizness/homepage2/form_button.png
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Add</button>
Can anyone tell me how I can stop this from happening? I'd prefer to use a button tag rather than a link as I want it to submit the form without JavaScript.

jQuery UI & Content Editable in Modal dialogs

Are there any issues surrounding the use of contenteditable div elements in jQuery UI that lead to the caret not appearing. Here is a bit of code to show what I mean
<div id='diaHTMLEd' style='display:none'>
<div id='divRTE'></div>
<!--iframe src='xrte.html' height='300' width='500'></iframe-->
</div>
function openHTMLEditor( {
$('#diaHTMLEd').dialog({
height:200,
width:450,
modal:true,
open:addRTE
});
}
function addRTE() {
$('#divRTE').html("<div contenteditable='true'>Testing</div>");
return;
}
Explanation - I am opening up a modal jqUI dialog and in its :open event am adding a contenteditable div element to an inner div in the dialog. The text shows up but it does not become editable when clicked. If I replace that code and use the commented out iframe instead which contains an contenteditable drive everything works just fine.
It looks like there is something that stops content from becoming editable inside the dialog.
This question may be lacking in some detail but given the complexity of my application I am not really in a position to provide more representative code. Any help would be much appreciated.
A note for anyone running into this thread. After much work I eventually discovered the issue. Using contenteditable with jQuery UI dialogs is not by itself a problem. The problem in my case came down to some sort of conflict with the excellent jstree plugin which I am using.
As a general rule - in complex applications that use multiple plugins you are probably better off sandboxing contenteditable content inside an iframe

is it possible to use jQuery Mobile Forms in my webpage

I love the way jquery mobile renders a form, is it possible to embedded a jquery-mobile-form in a table, div or any container in my webpage?, to be clear: I have a html5 webpage anf the layout is done by divs and css, is it possible to include a jquery-mobile-form in one of the divs.
I have been tried to do that but jquery-mobile-form always takes the 100% of the page, I want to use the form in an specific high/with div container, is that possible?
Thanks!
Yes, you can adjust the size of this forms like any other div elements.
Just wrap the form in a block element and apply the css "width"-attribute on it.
I created a Fiddle for that:

ASP.NET MVC 2 Popup dialog - performance and strange behaviour

I use this in my Index.aspx:
<%= Html.StandardOverlayCreateButton() %>
<div class="apple_overlay" id="overlay">
<div class="contentWrap">
</div>
</div>
Which is translating into this:
<button type="button">Create</button>
<div class="apple_overlay" id="overlay">
<div class="contentWrap">
</div>
</div>
When you press the button the popup with the Create.aspx occurs. Look at this -> Loading external pages into overlay
For me it seems that the overlay performance is slow.
And there is some strange behaviour, because I can nearly everytime see the old values in the popup. If I click the edit button and then close the popup and click another edit button, I can see the old values for a short time.
Is there a better approach of doing a popup using ASP.NET MVC and jQuery?
Are there tutorials?
Everything is being done client-side so the performance is purely down to JavaScript and jQuery code and nothing to do with any server-side code such as ASP.NET MVC.
You're using quite a few sophisticated effects with that popup, I see <div /> resizing animations, transparency, drop-shadows, the works. JavaScript performance has come on leaps and bounds with recent browsers, but it's performance but still be slow for doing very extravagant visual effects. Have you tried tuning down the visual effects with whatever modal popup JavaScript library you're using.
"And there is some strange behaviour,

I assume the pop-up is actually loading an iframe which points to the 'Employee/Create' page. My guess is that when the pop-up is closed and then re-opened again with a different page, the previous page will still be sitting in the pop-up's iframe, and the "load-new-page/url" event isn't fired until the pop-up re-appears, hence why you're seeing the old page very briefly.
I had a similar problem to this, you need to tune the modal pop-up behaviour slightly so that it first loads the new page then opens the pop-up, rather than the other way around which is what it's currently doing. My solution to this was a bit hacky in that the page inside the iframe has an $(document).ready({}); event that called some JavaScript function the the iframe's parent to load the pop-up. eg. put this in your page that sits inside the iframe:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
window.parent.openPopup();
});
</script>
Then you need to define the 'openPopup()' JavaScript method in the iframe's parent (ie. the main page the lists your records).
do you really need the animation?
maybe you don't need the effect: 'apple' attribute?
Effects are slow, especially on IE.
