determine when sifr is done? - sifr

How can I determine that sifr is finished running? I need to know the height of an element where there is sifr text on page load, but when I check the height, sifr has not yet completed and I get an incorrect value (the height of the element before sifr has been applied). And I definitely want to avoid having to place an arbitrary delay in finding the height. Any suggestions?

You could use the onReplacement callback, which is invoked each time an element is replaced. It's specified as an argument to sIFR.replace(), more here: http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/JavaScript+Methods.
From there on you'd use the FlashInteractor object, which is passed as the first argument, to get to the replaced element.
Do note though that when the page resizes, the text could wrap, changing the height of the Flash movie. There is no callback for this.

I spent a TON of time on this and finally came up with a cross-browser jQuery solution. I hope this helps a bunch of people in similiar situations:
<script src="/path_to_jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2"></script>
<script language="javascript">
function setEqualHeight(columns)
{
var tallestcolumn = 0;
columns.each(
function()
{
currentHeight = $(this).height();
if(currentHeight > tallestcolumn)
{
tallestcolumn = currentHeight;
}
}
);
columns.height(tallestcolumn);
}
$(window).load(function(){
var dlay = setInterval(function(){
if(jQuery('.sIFR-replaced').length>=sIFR.replacements.length){
setEqualHeight($(".jqueryheight"));
clearInterval(dlay);
};
},100);
});
</script>

Page Anchor takes 2 clicks to scroll to its anchor

enter code here I have setup navigation links to smooth scroll to an anchor point on my page.
Unfortunately I always have to click twice on every link for the anchor to move.
I think the smooth scroll javascript I'm using is causing the problem. but I don't know anything about java script and I have just copy/pasted this code from somewhere.
I'd be appreciative if you could help me understand, which part of this code is causing the problem.
//Smooth Scroll for Page Anchor
$(document).ready(function(){
// Add smooth scrolling to all links
$("a").on('click', function(event) {
// Make sure this.hash has a value before overriding default behavior
if (this.hash !== "") {
// Prevent default anchor click behavior
event.preventDefault();
// Store hash
var hash = this.hash;
// Using jQuery's animate() method to add smooth page scroll
// The optional number (800) specifies the number of milliseconds it takes to scroll to the specified area
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
}, 800, function(){
// Add hash (#) to URL when done scrolling (default click behavior)
window.location.hash = hash;
});
} // End if
});
});

JQueryUI - droppable.touch change

I am currently trying to make an extended droppable area but I got some problem. Here is the code (explanation below) :
$('div#1').find('div[cid="draggable"]').each(function(i, e) {
$(e).after("<div id='drp' style='width:100%;'></div>");
$('div#drp').droppable({
drop:function(event, ui) {
ajaxCall = false;
ui.draggable.css("left", "0");
ui.draggable.css("top", "0");
$(event.target).after(ui.draggable);
$(this).css("height", "0px");
$(this).removeClass("isDroppable");
$(this).removeClass("mb-1");
var t = ui.draggable.attr("i");
// callPage(81758758, 'POST', {t:t,s:0}, '');
},
over:function(event, ui) {
$(this).css("height", (parseInt(ui.helper.css("height")) + 50)+"px");
$(this).addClass("isDroppable");
$(this).addClass("mb-1");
if($(this).prev().attr("o") < ui.helper.attr("o")) {
// Move to top : Un padding s'ajoute, étrangement.
}
},
out:function(event, ui) {
$(this).css("height", "0px");
$(this).removeClass("isDroppable");
$(this).removeClass("mb-1");
},
accept:function(d) {
if(d.attr("cid") == "draggable" && d.attr("i") != $(this).prev().attr("i")) {
return true;
}
},
tolerance:'touch'
});
});
So actually, I am creating, for each child of div#0, a div#drp. It means that if I have, in div#0, 5 div#card, I will have, for each div#card, a div#drp (width:100%, height:0), for a total amount of 5 div#drp. As you should have understand, each div#drp is a DROPPABLE AREA (and each div#card can be dropped on each div#drp).
But here is the problem : The only way to get this working is to set the tolerance, as it is on my code, to "touch", as long as "pointer", "intersect" & "fit" will never work because of div#drp is set to height=0px.
Now, imagine the following structure :
<div id="card" i="1" style="width:100%;height:300px;">CARDTEST</div>
<div id="grp" i="1" style="width:100%;height:0;"></div>
<div id="card" i="2" style="width:100%;height:100px;">CARDTEST</div>
<div id="grp" i="2" style="width:100%;height:0;"></div>
<div id="card" i="3" style="width:100%;height:100px;">CARDTEST</div>
<div id="grp" i="3" style="width:100%;height:0;"></div>
Here, if I move the 2nd or 3rd card, everything will be alright. But if I move the first card (with height:300px) :
First, the id#grp height will be set to "(parseInt(ui.helper.css("height")) + 50)+"px"", it means 350px.
Second, even with that, my first card will trigger the first div#drp and the second div#drp as long as it height is too big. It's like if changing the height of my div#drp doesn't extend my DROPPABLE AREA.
So, my question is : Is there a way to "actualise" the DROPPABLE AREA within the "over" event ? I tried to change the droppable event within the "over" event, I also tried to change the tolerance within the "over" event, but nothing seems to work.
Any idea ?
Solution :
There isn't anything in Droppable() making this possible. However, it is possible to update DROPPABLE AREA positions within Draggable options. See below :
$( ".selector" ).draggable({
refreshPositions: true
});
I didn't expect a DROPPABLE property to be editable through DRAGGABLE elements. Note that, according to the documentation :
"If set to true, all droppable positions are calculated on every mousemove. Caution: This solves issues on highly dynamic pages, but dramatically decreases performance."
Tested on multiples devices, it doesn't cause lags or freez, so it should be fine.
Note that this config value will also fix margins caused by any Element added on Droppable.over if the Draggable Element is under the Droppable element (In example, if you want to do the same as what Sortable() do, but with Draggable() & Droppable()).
Problem solved !

iframe prevents iScroll scrolling on mobile Safari

I am using iScroll on my mobile enable website (using iPhone here) to scroll inside a div.
In this this div, I have an iframe with a fixed height like this:
<body>
<div id="iscroller">
<iframe id="theIframe"></iframe>
Other stuff
</div>
</body>
Now, while scrolling within the div, everything works as expected but I cannot scroll when the scrolling gesture begins on the iframe.
The problem is described here pretty well: https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll/issues/41
So, I used the css workaround from that post by applying pointer-events:none to the iframe.
Now scrolling works perfectly but I cannot click any links which are defined within the iframe because all click/touch events on the iframe seems to be blocked due to pointer-events: none.
So, I thought:
"Ok, while the user scrolls, I need pointer-events:none. If he is
not scrolling (and instead clicking), I must set pointer-events:auto
in order to let the click/touch events pass."
So I did this:
CSS
#theIframe{pointer-events:none}
JavaScript
$("#theIframe").bind("touchstart", function(){
// Enable click before click is triggered
$(this).css("pointer-events", "auto");
});
$("#theIframe").bind("touchmove", function(){
// Disable click/touch events while scrolling
$(this).css("pointer-events", "none");
});
Even adding this doesn't work:
$("#theIframe").bind("touchend", function(){
// Re-enable click/touch events after releasing
$(this).css("pointer-events", "auto");
});
No matter what I do: Either scrolling doesn't work or clicking the link inside the iframe doesn't work.
Doesn't work. Any ideas?
I found the perfect solution. Works great on iOS and Android.
The basic idea is to put a div layer on top of that iframe. This way scrolling works smoothly.
If the user wants to tap/click on an element on that iframe I simply catch that click on the layer, save the x and y coordinates and trigger a click event on the iframe's content at these coordinates:
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="layer"></div>
<iframe id="theIframe"></iframe>
</div>
Other stuff
CSS:
#layer{
position:absolute;
opacity:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
z-index:2
}
JavaScript:
$('#layer').click(function(event){
var iframe = $('#theIframe').get(0);
var iframeDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;
// Find click position (coordinates)
var x = event.offsetX;
var y = event.offsetY;
// Trigger click inside iframe
var link = iframeDoc.elementFromPoint(x, y);
var newEvent = iframeDoc.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
newEvent.initEvent('click', true, true);
link.dispatchEvent(newEvent);
});
I found a solution for this, it happens to be close to what other guys already mentioned on github but this may be useful for whoever wants to find a fast working resolution for this problem.
I'm assuming a few things, like there's only one iscroll container, here represented as ID. This is not properly tested and needs refactor. It's working in my project, but I changed it here slightly for the example but I guess you'll easily understand what you need to do:
var $iscroll = $('#iscroll');
document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e) {
if ($iscroll.find('iframe').length > 0){
$.each($iscroll.find('iframe'), function(k,v){
var $parent = $(v).parent().first();
if ($parent.find('.preventTouch').length == 0){
$('<div class="preventTouch" style="position:absolute; z-index:2; width:100%; height:100%;"></div>')
.prependTo($parent);
};
$parent
.css('position', 'relative').css('z-index', 1);
});
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
});
};
};
document.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) {
if ($iscroll.find('iframe').length > 0){
setTimeout(function(){
var $iscroll = $('#iscroll');
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').remove();
$iscroll.find('iframe').css('z-index', '');
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').off('click');
}, 400);
};
};
Thanks for looking!

Preventing flexcroll on event

What I have currently is a very simple div that has a flexcroll scroll bar. This simple div contains some draggable itmes inside of it. My goal is to be able to drag one of the items and and move it about without the flexcroll scroll bar moving.
As it stands right now if I were to drag one of the items below the viewable area the simple div will scroll down. I would like to prevent this.
I'm using jQuery UI for the draggable items. I've already tried using the option "scroll:false" but this does not work for flexcroll.
I'm sorry I don't have any example code, I'm currently away from my work computer.
flexcroll: http://www.hesido.com/web.php?page=customscrollbar
I don't know if you have already resolved this problem. This morning, I have the same problem and I found your post. After that, I have googled a lot to find a solution without any lucky. So finally, I decided to do someting myself, I hope my idea will help you.
After read the Programming Guid, I found that in this version (2.0) of flexcroll, we could register a function for onfleXcroll whose description could be found by searching the keyword "Pseudo-event: onfleXcroll". This is to say that the method will be executed after a scroll is done. So here, what I restore the "top" style with the value before you drag an element.
Here are the code
var $assetswrapper; // This variable indicates the contentwrapper of you div.
var $assetsscrollbar; // This variable indicates the vscroller of you div.
window.onfleXcrollRun = function () { // This method will be executed as soon as the div has been rendered with the help of flexcroll
// You could find these two divs by using firebug, because the top value of these two divs will be changed when we scroll the div which use the class .flexcroll.
$assetswrapper = $('#contentwrapper');
$assetsscrollbar = $('#vscrollerbar');
}
var wrapperTopPosition = 0; // This is used to stock the top value of the wrapperContent before dragging.
var scrollbarTopPosition = 0; // This is used to stock the top value of the scrollbar before dragging.
var dragged; // This is a boolean variable which is used for indicating whether the draggable element has been dragged.
var dropped = false; // This is a boolean variable which used to say whether the draggable element has been dropped.
$('.draggable').draggable({ // you could change .draggable with any element.
start: function (event, ui) {
// Your code here.
wrapperTopPosition = $assetswrapper.position().top;
scrollbarTopPosition = $assetsscrollbar.position().top
dragged = true;
},
stop: function (event, ui) {
// Your code here.
dragged = false;
dropped = true;
}
});
$('your drag div')[0].onfleXcroll = function () { // This method will be called each time when a scroll has been done.
if (dragged) {
$assetswrapper.css('top', wrapperTopPosition);
$assetsscrollbar.css('top', scrollbarTopPosition);
} else {
// Code here is used for keeping the top position as before even though you have dragged an element out of this div for a long time.
// You could test the scrollbar without this piece of code, if you drag an element out of the div for a long time, the scrollbar will keep its position,
// but after you dropped this element and try to scroll the div, then the scrollbar will reach the end of the div. To solve this problem,
// I have introduced the method setScrollPos with the old top position plus 72. 72 here is to set the scroll increment for this scroll, I know
// this value is not fit for any size of windows, but I don't know how to get the scroll-increment automatically.
if (dropped) {
dropped = false;
$('your drag div')[0].fleXcroll.setScrollPos(false, Math.abs(wrapperTopPosition) + 72);
$('your drag div')[0].fleXcroll.setScrollPos(false, Math.abs(wrapperTopPosition) + 72);
}
}
};
I hope this could give you a help if you haven't found any solution yet.

iScroll scrollToElement not working with jQuery Mobile

I have something similar to this iScroll example: http://cubiq.org/dropbox/iscroll4/examples/simple/
Except that I'm using jQuery mobile (i.e., the header, footer, and content are set using jQuery Mobile). Everything is running smoothly except for scrollToElement.
Is there any way to get scrollToElement working when using jQuery Mobile and iScroll?
Here's the iScroll script I currently have:
var myScroll;
function loaded() {
myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');
}
document.addEventListener('touchmove', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { setTimeout(loaded, 200);}, false);
EDIT: Forgot to mention what I'm trying to achieve. In the iScroll example mentioned above, I'm trying to scroll to a specific row. The only problem is that jQuery Mobile prevents scrollToElement from working for some reason.
Also make sure that you're using a timeout
setTimeout(function () {
myScroll.scrollToElement(".elementClass", "0s");
myScroll.refresh();
}, 0);
The workaround I have found is to capture the elements position and then use scrollToPage():
var w = $("#showselectedauthors").offset().top;
// ...
$.storeScroller.scrollToPage(0, w);
Of course for this to work you have to capture the position when the element is visible or the offset will be meaningless. You can do this when the page is built but before the scroller is initialized.
In my case the element is visible and I capture w at that time. I then refresh some content and refresh the scroller. After I do that I want to make sure the element is still visible.
Case anyone needs to scroll to a jQuery Object here's my code .
Make sure you're calling this method inside a setTimeout and your "iscroll" object is defined .
function scrollToElement($element) {
if ($element.size() > 1) {
throw new Error("Cannot be a node!");
};
var offset = $element.offset().top;
var to = -(offset - iscroll.y);
to = (iscroll.maxScrollY > to) ? iscroll.maxScrollY : to;
iscroll.scrollTo(0, to);
}
