I have a form inside an iframe which is inside a jQuery UI dialog box. The form contains a file input type. The jQuery UI dialog contains an Upload button. When this button is clicked, I would like to programmatically call the submit method. My question is how I could select the form which is in a iframe using jQuery. The following code should clarify the picture:
<div id="upload_file_picker_dlg" title="Upload file">
<iframe id="upload_file_iframe" src="/frame_src_url" frameborder=0 width=100% scrolling=no></iframe>
</div>
frame_src_url contains:
<form action="/UploadTaxTable" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" id="upload-form">
<p>Select a file to be uploaded:</p>
<p>
<input type="file" name="datafile" size="60">
</p>
The jQueryUI dialog box javascript code:
$('#upload_file_picker_dlg').dialog({
...
buttons: {
'Close': function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
},
'Upload': function() {
$('#upload-form').submit(); //question is related to this line
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
....
});
From the javascript code snippet above, how can I select the form with id upload-form that is in the iframe whose id is upload_file_iframe ?
Accessing an element inside an iframe is tricky.
You should use the following syntax:
$('#iframeID').contents().find('#upload-form').submit();
where 'iframeID' is obviously an ID you've given to the iframe.
Hope it is correct!
The answer is:
$('#upload_file_iframe').contents().find('#upload-form').submit();
which I learned from http://simple.procoding.net/2008/03/21/how-to-access-iframe-in-jquery/
Off the top of my head I'd say you might have to add the logic to the file where the iframe source is from.

I am trying to bind jquery mobile horizantal radio buttons using knock out teplate binding.
The fielsset in template looks like
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-bind="attr: {id:QuestionID+'_fld'},template: {name:'optionTemplate', foreach: OptionList}">
</fieldset>
and the option template looks like
<script type="text/x-jquery-tmpl" id="optionTemplate">
<input type="radio" data-bind="attr: { id:OptionID+'_radio',value:OptionID, name: QuestionID+'_rd'}, checked:$parent.OptionId" />
<label data-bind="text:OptionText, attr: {id:OptionID+'_optn', for : QuestionID+'_rd' }"> </lable>
</script>
I have tried
$('input[type=radio]').checkboxradio().trigger('create');
$('fieldset').controlgroup().trigger('create');
Here my problem is that the mobile css is not applying to the fiedset.
You must do this after the template has built your page or during the page initialization event, something like this:
$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#pageID', function(){
});
Page content can be enhanced ONLY when content is safely loaded into the DOM.
Second this do NOT mix refresh functions with trigger create. Either one or the other. Trigger create is used to enhance whole content, and it should NOT be used on single elements. No point in restyling whole page every time you add new content.
Basically you only want to use:
$('input[type=radio]').checkboxradio().checkboxradio('refresh');
or if first line throws an error:
$('input[type=radio]').checkboxradio();
and:
$('fieldset').controlgroup();
But I would advise you to only use this line after everything has been appended:
$('#contentID').trigger('create');
where #contentID is an id of your div data-role="content" object. Or in case you are not using content div, only data-role="page" div then use this:
$('#pageID').trigger('pagecreate');
where #pageID is an id of your page.
To find out more about marku enhancement of dynamically added content take a look at this answer.
I am using jquery mobile and a dialog to display some multiple select boxes. Some of the content is dynamically created with Ajax based on the selections. I would like to make the Ajax call when the dialog is closed (through the regular x button). The main parts of the html look as follows:
<a href="#queryPage" data-rel="dialog" data-transition="slidedown" >Filter Results</a>
<div data-role="page" id="queryPage" data-theme="a">
<div data-role="header" data-theme="a">
<h1>Select Filters</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<form action="" method="get" id="filterForm">
<fieldset id ="filterFields"></fieldset>
</form>
</div>
</div>
I am currently making the call by running the code on page hide as follows:
$('#queryPage').live('pagehide', function(event) {
//code for ajax call
});
However, I would like to make the call when the dialog closes because some of the select lists are large and they create a new page that hides the queryPage even though the dialog has not been closed. I have tried:
$('#queryPage').bind('dialogclose', function(event) {
alert('closed');
});
and also tried
$('#queryPage').dialog({close:function(event, ui){
alert("closed");
}});
These I have put in a function called on page load but the alert is not shown when the dialog is closed. Any help will be appreciated.
There are no specific events for dialogs as they are simply pages that are displayed as a dialog. Try the pagehide event.
$("#MyDialog").bind("pagehide",function(){
alert("Dialog closed");
});
Also, the first line of your sample code has a link that is outside of a <div data-role="page"> which should not be done.
Pagehide can be delegated as such:
$(document).delegate("#MyDialog", "pagehide", function() {
alert("Dialog closed");
});
and you will also have access to the screen elements of the calling page.
Andleer shared the appropriate event for closing the dialog using jquery. however, we can also code in this way.
$(document).on("pagehide","#Dialog",function(){
console.log('Dialog has closed.');
});
I want to transform a div composed of image + text (for translation) in a submit button. Is it possible?
I managed to use the image as submit but the text is not a link and it gives a 'broken' feeling to the whole image + text
<div onclick="document.myform.submit()"></div>
Jquery usage.
$('div').click(function () {
$('form').submit();
});
You can do it in two ways.
You can use a button with type submit and use CSS to style it as a div
Add an onClick on the div, and submit the form on the click event.
For method 2 you can either do it through jQuery or without, With plain js
<script>
function submitOnClick(formName){
document.forms[formName].submit();
}
</script>
<form id="myForm" ...>
....
<div onclick="submitOnClick('myForm')>
...
</div>
...
</form>
Trevor's answer shows how to do it with jQuery.
In his example just replace the 'div' and 'form' with the ids of your div and form as this:
If ids of div and form are myDiv and myForm specify them as '#myDiv' and '#myForm', here # is used to specify the following string is an id of an element.
I am trying to install the jQuery UI autocomplete on my website. I have it up and working but I want it to automatically submit the search form when someone clicks on an option. The default behavior seems to be that it just fills out the form with the selected item and then the user must click the submit button. I want it to just automatically redirect like Google. I'm running PHP 5.+ and MYSQL 5+ and jquery.1.4.2 and jqueryui.1.8.6.
Here is the javascript:
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#query" ).autocomplete({
source: "/scripts/autocomplete_handler.php",
minLength: 2,
select: function(event, ui) {
$('#query').val(ui.item);
$("#results").text(ui.item); // for testing purposes
$('#search_form').submit();
}
});
});
</script>
Here is the form:
<form name="search_form" id="search_form" action="search.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="query" id="query" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
<code id="results"></code>
As you can see, I am trying to change the value of the input field "query" using $('#query').val(ui.item). The problem is that when I select an autocomplete option $_GET['query'] becomes [object Object]. i.e. My website searches for the string "[object Object]" instead of the value that I clicked.
At the bottom of the form there is a code tag with id "results". I also can't get this to populate with the text(ui.item). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this type of Google like functionality in their autocomplete, but I can't find any examples anywhere.
Try this in your select function:
$('#query').val(ui.item.value);
I am tryng to use this: http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form
I have:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog();
$("#dialog").dialog('close');
$('.myPop').click(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog('open');
});
});
Which allows me to pop-up on the click of '.myPop' which is just a temp input button in my list which is working:
<button type="button" class="myPop"></button>
My question is - what is the best way to use this pop-up to go to the Edit method of my controller, populate controls and then be able to save back to the model and refresh the list page?
I want to keep with best practice in ASP.Net MVC please.
Am I beetr maybe using this? http://dev.iceburg.net/jquery/jqModal/
Thanks
There's obviously a bunch of ways to do that, but here's how I would solve it. Perform an ajax call before loading the dialog to populate the dialog's contents, show the dialog, than on save close the dialog and refresh the grid. Those are the basics, there's some helper code below. I find it a good practice to return a json result from the save action to determine if the saved was successful, and if not an error message that indicates why it failed to display to the user.
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<!-- loaded from ajax call -->
<form id="exampleForm">
<input blah>
<input type="button" onclick="Save()" />
</form>
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
$('.myPop').click(function() {
$.get("editController/loadContents", function(data){
$("#dialog").html(data);
});
$("#dialog").dialog('open');
});
});
function Save(){
$.post("/editController/Edit", $("#exampleForm").serialize(),
function(data){
$("#dialog").dialog('close');
//update grid with ajax call
});
}
</script>
