IE6: select inside jQuery tabs does not render dropdown list - jquery-ui

I have a form inside jQuery tabs; I create tabs in a simple way:
$("#tabs").tabs({selected: 1});
The selected index 1 is the tab where form is placed. The problem is, on remote computer with IE6 both selects only display a small blank line instead of list with options when dropdown arrow is clicked:
Incorrect dropdown http://queen3.at.tut.by/DropDownIE6jQuery.PNG
The options are there in page source, and everything actually works on other machines, in other browsers and also in IE6 (though I use IETester).
Everything also works if I
remove tabs creation, that is .tabs() - options do appear and work; or
first select tab without form (tab 0), and then click on it - options do appear and work
only when clicking; programmatic .tabs("select", 1) after tabs creation doesn't help
Does anyone know what can cause this? Is it IE6 bug or something with my scripts?
Update: hm, thanks to this, I found it's something with my CSS - if I disable Site.css it works. I thought about scripts only. Still have to find out what's that.
Update: OK, this was caused by this CSS rule:
body { font-size: 0.7em; }
It works if I set 0.8 or greater, but for 0.7 and less IE6 does the indicated bug.
Can someone explain this? Yes it is IE6 - weird by definition, but this one is too weird in my opinion.

I have also ran into this exact problem, although I couldn't fix it by altering any body font sizes, I did manage to get around it using the (slightly modified) "Ugly hack" method as described in the dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4734 link, posted by CiscoIPPhone:
// Ugly hack to switch tabs in IE6, fixing select menu bug.
if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version.substr(0, 1) <= 6) {
$("#tabs").tabs({ selected: 1 });
setTimeout(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs("select", 0);
}, 10);
}
Seems as though the timeout is the key to avoiding this bug.

I found that this workaround fixed the issue on some machines, but not on others.
My solution was to hide all the select elements initally in the style sheet, then after calling $( "#tabs" ).tabs() I use $('select').show() to display them.
That fixed it for me.

How to add a scrollbar on a listbox

In Vaadin 14, I would like to have a listbox with a scrollbar. Either permanently present, or even better, one that appears when the space needed for the list exceeds the maximum height of the listbox.
It does not necessarily have to be done using the vaadin core component; if there is something else out there that would do the same job and can be integrated into my Vaadin application easily, that's also fine.
I have little experience in web components and have no idea where to start to achieve this.
If much more knowledge is necessary, please point me in the right direction to learn it.
This is how a ListBox component already works in Vaadin :) Scrollbar appears, if there is no enough space to display all items
ListBox<String> listBox = new ListBox<>();
listBox.setItems("Bread", "Butter", "Milk");
listBox.setHeight("100px");
add(listBox);
A Web-component Vaadin docs page Vaadin-ListBox HTML
Setting height will work, and with minor CSS changes max-height will also work. Here’s what you need to add to your theme.
In Java (Vaadin 14+):
#CssImport(value = "./styles/my-styles.css", themeFor = "vaadin-list-box")
In CSS (my-styles.css):
[part="items"] {
flex: auto;
height: auto;
}
I opened a new issue for fixing this: https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-list-box/issues/56

iOS 11 Semantic UI textbox modal cursor outside of textbox

I am facing a problem very similar to what was reported and resolved in this SO Question: iOS 11 Safari bootstrap modal text area outside of cursor
. However, the difference for me is that I am using Aurelia & Semantic UI.
I have tried using position: fixed in ux-dialog-body as described in several fixes for the problem occuring in bootstrap (in those examples to be added to the body of the modal), however that did not work.
I would appreciate any help on this issue, thanks in advance.
So I got the idea for the fix here : Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI-React
Basically the problem relates to the height of the content behind the modal/what the modal is lying on top of. So, hide all of it when opening the Modal and put it back when done. However, only for iOS, because for some reason on our site doing otherwise breaks Android devices.
iOS: boolean = !!navigator.platform && /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.platform);
In opening the modal
if (this.iOS) {
$('body > :not(ux-dialog)').hide();
$("ux-dialog").show();
}
And closing
if (this.iOS) {
$('body > :not(ux-dialog)').show();
$("ux-dialog").hide();
$("ux-dialog-overlay").hide();
$("ux-dialog-container").hide();
}
I hope this helps someone else.

scroll can't be default prevented on touchmove event on iOS10

On Safari 10, by defining a simple listener that prevents default a touchmove event within a scrollable element, the event is not default prevented as it does with Safari 9 and less (it also does in all major browsers).
This is reproducible here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/PGRxOv
Steps to Reproduce:
Take an element with scrollable content (overflow: scroll).
Add an event listener on it for touchmouve event, and call event.preventDefault() in that event listener.
Expected Results:
The element should not be scrollable.
Actual Results:
The element is still scrollable on Safari 10.
Version:
iOS 10.0.2
Probably a webkit issue...I opened an issue on webkit bug tracker.
In the mean time, if anyone has a workaround (except prevent the touchstart), it would be great :)
I also tried to return false in the listener but it does not work either.
You need to pass the {passive:false} option to addEventListener (explanation), and you also need to make sure you execute e.preventDefault() on touchmove and touchstart:
window.addEventListener("touchstart", e=>e.preventDefault(), {passive:false});
window.addEventListener("touchmove", e=>e.preventDefault(), {passive:false});
Thanks for writing about this and raising an issue — it had me completely baffled!
Your codepen solution didn't seem to work for me, but I have since found another solution here: https://github.com/metafizzy/flickity/issues/457
This is their solution:
window.addEventListener( 'touchmove', function() {})
Feels very hacky but has worked for my situation.
I hope this helps anyone else frustrated by this.

Is there a way to specify an order of toolbars using Mozilla add-on sdk?

Our app is using 1+ toolbars written using add-on sdk. The problem is, right now the toolbars seems to decide for themselves in which order they will get displayed. In the first window I have toolbar A below toolbar B. However, if I open a new window, toolbar B will be on top.
Anybody else encountered this issue? Do you guys have any tips on how to deal with it?
Thanks!
Luka
EDIT: attaching a code that shows how I create toolbars:
this.myframe = new ui.Frame({
url: self.data.url(this.LABELS.TRANSLATION_FRAME)
});
this.mytoolbar = ui.Toolbar({
title: this.NAME,
items: [this.myframe],
hidden: true
});
The second toolbar has the same three arguments (title, items, hidden) and both frames contain a properly structured, very minimal html files.
These toolbars reside in two separate extensions. If both are enabled, as I mentioned above, the ordering seems to be pretty random.

Grails UI Menu flakey behavior in IE

I'm using a GRAILS UI (1.2-SNAPSHOT) an it's implementation of the YUI menubar (YUI 2.7.0.1). I am seeing flakey mouseover behavior in IE (Firefox is ok). When I mouse over the menu item with a submenu, it will show. As I try to mouse over the sub-menu, the submenu disappears before I can click. This happends in a pattern I haven't fully figured out. Usually the first time I select a menu it's fine but if I move around the menu back to a menu item, the submenu begins to display this behavior. By clicking and holding the mouse button I can usually get the sub-menu to stick around.
I've palyed with various configurations like keepopen and automenudisplay but they don't seem to change the behavior. I have not seen much posted about this. But I also don't see menu's documented in the UI plugin either. I could really use some feedback if UI menu is not ready for primetime yet or I'm missing something else. I've not worked with much AJAX before.
Below is the code with the added options I played with that did not have a positive impact.
<gui:menubar id='menubar' renderTo='mainmenu' autosubmenudisplay="false" shadow="true" keepopen="true">
<gui:menuitem url="/esmzone">Home</gui:menuitem>
<gui:submenu label='Profile'>
<gui:menuitem url="${createLink(controller:'memberProfile', action:'view')}">View</gui:menuitem>
<gui:menuitem url="${createLink(controller:'memberProfile', action:'profile')}">Edit</gui:menuitem>
<gui:menuitem url="${createLink(controller:'user', action:'account')}">Settings</gui:menuitem>
<gui:menuitem url="#">Subscription</gui:menuitem>
</gui:submenu>
Here is the code generated by the plugin:
<script>
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() {
GRAILSUI.menubar = new YAHOO.widget.MenuBar("menubar_div", {'autosubmenudisplay': false,
'shadow': true,
'keepopen': true});
GRAILSUI.menubar.render('mainmenu');
});
</script>
I made some progress on this by researching the YUI library. There is a documented bug with IE7. Apparently the grails-ui plugin does not address the fix. I'm testing with IE8 but I assume it's still there.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/menu/#knownissues
It appears that you should set the zoom property to 1 (zoom:1) for the bd class.
I added the following code to my style sheet
div.yuimenubar .bd {
zoom: 1;
}
and it seems to help. I see no side effect in Firefox but I didn't dynamically check for the version of browser as I would need to hack the code that generates the YUI javascript and put in
if (YAHOO.env.ua.ie === 7) {
YAHOO.util.Dom.addClass(document.body, "ie7");
}
after the render() call. Then instead of the style I added you could do an IE7 (probably >=7) style.
This is what the Yahoo site had to say about it:
The following application of
"zoom:1" sets the "hasLayout"
property to "true" and prevents
first tier submenus of a MenuBar
from hiding when the mouse is moving
from an item in a MenuBar to a
submenu in IE 7.
