I have a Grails application with a form in it. Once the user has entered the data and submitted it, and it's been validated etc.. I need a message to popup in a little window to give the user some feedback - it needs to popup, rather than be displayed on the page. Can anyone advise me on the best way to do this?
I have implemented the same mechanism for my application, and I am using the jQuery plugin 'smartmodal' (used by the Nimble plugin originally). See here
You simply have to redirect the request in the controller validation code to a GSP page containing the following code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="${resource(file: 'jquery-1.3.2.js')}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${resource(file:'jquery.smartmodal.js')}"></script>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="./css/smartmodal.css">
...
<body>
...
<g:javascript>
$(function() {
$("#msg").hide();
$("#msg").modal({hide_on_overlay_click:false});
$("#msg").modal_show();});
</g:javascript>
<div id="msg">
My feedback message is here
</div>
<g:link controller="..." action="...">Close</g:link>
I hope it helps,
Fabien
EDIT:
An extract of the smartmodal.css file that will render the 'modal effect' is:
#modal_content {
display: none;
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
padding: 0px;
top: 10%;
background: #FFF;
border: 0px solid #d2d2d2;
width: 400px;
margin-left: -200px;
text-align: left;
}
#modal_overlay {
background-color: #000;
}
However if you want the complete file, it is available inside the great Nimble grails plugin

The above, is a button (kind of) that downloads an image. It works fine on my laptop, but when I navigate to the url on my iPhone it doesn't download. Just takes me to the actual image.
Anyone know why? Or how I can fix this?
Thanks!
iPhone doesn't have a download functionality. You will need to tap-and-hold, and select "Save".
WordPress Widget Area Links Only Work From Home Page
Below is the code in wootique theme footer 1 widget area. The links works fine from the home page but when any of the links is click again from the page that it landed on the homepage url is repeated in the url section of the page and it says page not found. This happens when you click any of the links.
Here is the code that I placed in the widget footer 1 area:
<div id="parent-footer">
<div id="first">Product Gallery</div>
<div id="second">Blog</div>
<a href ="XXXXXXXXXX.com/returns/"> <div id="third">Return Policy</div>
</div></a>
<style>
#parent-footer {
width: 200%;
white-space: nowrap;
}
#parent-footer div{
display: inline-block;
width: 33.3%;
color: #5BB191;
margin-left: 105px;
padding: -60px;
}
#first{
margin-right: 20px;
}
</style>
if the url is repeated like www.xxx.com/something/www.xxx.com/something the problem could be that it is interpreting the url as relative. Add http:// (or https if you are running on a secure link) to the url.
I am using Grails 2.1.0 and Twitter Bootstrap Plugin 2.1.1 and am encountering an issue with navbar-fixed-top.
In order to get the Navbar fixed to the top of the page to behave correctly during resize, the Twitter Bootstrap Docs states:
Add .navbar-fixed-top and remember to account for the hidden area underneath it by adding at least 40px padding to the . Be sure to add this after the core Bootstrap CSS and before the optional responsive CSS.
How can I do this when using the Grails Plugin for Twitter Bootstrap?
Here is what I have tried:
main.gsp
<head>
...
<r:require modules="bootstrap-css"/>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
.sidebar-nav {
padding: 9px 0;
}
</style>
<r:require modules="bootstrap-responsive-css"/>
<r:layoutResources/>
</head>
The problem is that Grails Plugin for Twitter Bootstrap takes the content of bootstrap.css and bootstrap-responsive.css and combines them into the following merged file: static/bundle-bundle_bootstrap_head.css.
Thus, I am not able to put the body padding style "after core Bootstrap CSS and before Responsive CSS" as per Twitter Bootstrap docs.
Here is the View Source HTML that I get from the main.gsp above
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
.sidebar-nav {
padding: 9px 0;
}
</style>
<link href="/homes/static/bundle-bundle_bootstrap_head.css" type="text/css"
rel="stylesheet" media="screen, projection" />
If there is no way to do this, I could always just drop the Grails Twitter Bootstrap Plugin and manually download Twitter Bootstrap and put it my Grails Project's web-app/css, web-app/images, and web-app/js. However, I would like to be able to use the Grails Twitter Bootstrap Plugin.
Thank you very much in advance, I appreciate it!
Bootstrap recommends that place for the style because when the screen width goes below 980px navbar becomes static (not fixed). So calling bootstrap-responsive.css after the padding prevents from a blank space at the top in mobile devices (there's not fxed element to fill that padding).
You can reproduce this behaviour using a media query:
#media (min-width:980px) {
body {
padding-top: 40px;
}
}
Put this CSS anywhere in your stylesheets, and don't worry about your <links>
I have an html page where I am experimenting with resizable and other ui features for divs created dynamically. The page shows correctly when in a local directory and accessed by IE File > Open. When I tranfer the file to the web server and access by http://localhost/file.html. The resizable grip icons aren't shown. Also, there are css styles that aren't applied.
The div is defined
var index = getCookie("divindex");
if (index == "" || index == null) index = 1;
var divid = "compage"+index;
$("#page").append('<div id="'+divid+'" class="comdiv ui-widget-content"></div>');
$('#'+divid).append('<p class="comhdr editableText ui-widget-header">Sample'+index+'</p>');
$('#'+divid).css('top',50);
$('#'+divid).css('left',50);
$('#'+divid).css('width',150);
$('#'+divid).css('height',150);
$('#'+divid).resizable();
$('#'+divid).draggable();
$('#'+divid).draggable("option", "handle", '.comhdr');
$( '#'+divid+' p').editableText();
This also happens for a static div.
<div id="editdiv" class="comdiv ui-widget-content" style="position: absolute; top: 150px; left: 850px; width:350px;
height:250px; border:1px solid grey;">
<p id="heading" class="comhdr editableText ui-widget-header">Editable</p>
</div>
The libraries in the file are
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.15/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.15/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/demos.css">
<style>
.comdiv { position:absolute; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid black}
.comhdr { text-align: center; margin: 0; cursor:move; font: 14px bold Georgia; border 1px solid grey; background: grey;}
</style>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#editdiv" ).resizable();
$( "#editdiv" ).draggable();
$( "#editdiv" ).draggable("option", "handle", '#heading');
});
</script>
Why would the behavior be different between the local file and the web server?

If I download a copy of jquery/jquery-ui to my web server this fixes the problem. From http://jqueryui.com/download I downloaded stable version 1.8.15 UI lightness theme.
I also had the probelm that the resizable grip isn't showing up along with some other styles not applied. In my case, I found out that I had a css defined which overrode some jquery-ui styles. You can see such things e.g. in Firebug. In my case, I had defined the background for div tags which weighed heavier than the ".ui-icon-gripsmall-diagonal-se" and ".ui-icon" class style definitions.
I did not need to install a local copy of jquery on my web server. CDN version works fine now.
I am trying to click on a link using webdriver but it throws me a ElementNotVisibleException saying "Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with"
My WebDriver code:
addProgram.click();
addProgram refers to an anchor element. This is populated by annotating #FindBy(how= How.LINK_TEXT, using="Add Program"). In other words it is similar to driver.findElement(By.linkText("Add Program")).
My HTML is:
<div class="form_btn">
<a href="/program/addProgram">
<span>Addrogram</span
</a>
</div>
It starts working when I remove the css declaration from the above div. The dive has a hover style, may be that is the one causing the problem.
CSS:
.form_btn {
float:left;
background:url(/bg_button_right.gif) no-repeat scroll top
right;
color: #fff;
display: block;
height:22px;
font: bold 10px arial;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top:2px;
padding-right: 4px; /* sliding doors padding */
text-decoration: none;
}
.form_btn span {
background:url(/assets/images/provider/bg_button_left.gif) no-repeat;
display: block;
float:left;
line-height:18px;
padding: 2px 5px 5px 10px;
font-size:11px;
}
.form_btn a{
color:#fff;
}
.form_btn a:hover{
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:hand;
}
I have trawled the web trying to find a solution but none has worked. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris.
(UPDATE) This issue was resolved and should be available since Selenium 2.4.0
Sounds like you ran into the same bug as I did:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=1445
the work-around is to get the element inside the link and click.
re-writing your code:
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Add Program")).findElementBy(By.tagName("span"))
I just solve this error while using capybara in ror project by add " Capybara.ignore_elements = true " to features/support/env.rb
Working from #Zernel's solution, the following solves for ror project using capybara.
Add Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements = true to the file config/environments/test.rb
Using texts is not always the good methodology.
Try this:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.form_btn > a[href*='addProgram'] > span")).click();
Always Use CSS, It performs better than XPath.
