First off, this is functioning much better than before. Good work.
In the click handler you bind to the h1 you have a few areas where you could
optimize your code.
First you declare a var named outerchild like this:
var outerid = $(this).parent().attr(id); var outerchild = $('#' + outerid
+ '-details');
Then later you use outerchild again but you wrap it in another jQuery
object.
$(outerchild)
This isn't necessary and I often times name my jQuery object vars with a $
to remind me it is the jQuery object and not just the DOM node.
var outerid = $(this).parent().attr(id); var $outerchild = $('#' + outerid
+ '-details');
Now you can just use $outerchild.attr(...).
Moving on ... there is a handy method called is that lets you test if the
object is something. So lets look at this particular if statement and see
how it can be written using the is method.
As you have it now:
if ($(outerchild).attr(class).indexOf('outeropen') == -1) {
Using the is method:
if ( !$outerchild.is('.outeropen') ) {
Or you could also use the ':hidden' selector like this:
if ( $outerchild.is(':hidden') ) {
Hope that helps optimize the code a little. :)

[jQuery] Coldfusion: using $.get() to directly call a CFC living outside of the webroot
Right now m JS looks like this:
$.get(psychic.cfm, {method:idArr[0],key:idArr[1]}, function(data){
//do some stuff
});
psychic.cfm contains the following code:
cfset VARIABLES.ps = CreateObject(component,includes.salesman)
cfparam name=URL.method default=
cfparam name=URL.key default=
cfset func = VARIABLES.ps[URL.method]
cfoutput#func(URL.key)#/cfoutput
It's the only way that I can think of to call a CFC outside of my webroot. I
don't like having to do this as it requires a middle-man page. The upside is
that it works flawlessly.
I do have a mapping to the CFC directory (not the one above):
apps.cfcs.theCFCinQuestion
Is there any way to call against that CFC directly instead of having to use
a middle page?

Are you talking about viewing source in IE vs FF? Because if you perform an

Or are you saying that it's not even applying the style?

Andy, If you want all the information to just be there, then include it in the original HTML and just hide it. The core benefit you gain by loading content on demand is you only send the data that's necessary. If you ended up doing a bunch of AJAX calls to load all the data, all you've done is made the code harder to manage and inundated your server with a bunch of requests instead of one single request (remember, each AJAX call is a separate HTTP request-depending on your page and the number of users you could really flood your server w/requests.) Also, there is no way to stop a request once it's started. Once you initiate the HTTP request, the server will start processing it. You can stop listening for the result you get back from the server, but the server is still going to attempt to complete the request. -Dan _ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Matthews Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 9:56 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Stop pending AJAX processes? First a small walk-through of what I've got now: http://www.commadelimited.com/uploads/psychic http://www.commadelimited.com/uploads/psychic Right now, if you click any of the black images, it triggers an AJAX call which places it's response in a hidden div. That's easy enough and already works. In an effort to make this work as speedily as possible, I'd like to do following: 1) When ANY session first opens, every row that has more data (indicated by the black image which has a class of nav) should make it's associated AJAX call and return it's information. I would like this to happen with no action from the user. 2) If the user switches to a new accordion section, ideally I'd like to cancel all pending AJAX calls, then trigger new calls for the current accordion section. So, that's my question...is this possible, and if so, how would I do it? The thought is that the user will spend at least a few seconds looking at the basic interface before clicking into any of the details. It would be awesome if, when the user clicks any details image, that the data was already there and the details would just slide open. Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this, if it's even possible?

Does it work if you move the inline $(document).ready(function(){}); into
the head element? I can't think of a situation where you would need it in

While that is generally the best practice, there are exceptions for every rule. The one place I do use inline JavaScript is when I'm leverage jQuery for server-side component helpers (for example, Custom Tags in CF.) In this case, my jQuery code is generally outputted after the DOM element is created. While not ideal, it makes it much easier to encapsulate all my code into one helper function in my server-side code. Having all your JS business logic in one place, definitely makes debugging and modifying code easier, but there are times when inline code makes sense. -Dan PS - This really isn't addressed to Andy, just a general note.

One thing to point out about mine and Dan's suggestion is that your Seach engine ranking will take a hit if you use this method. Google penalizes sites who use redirects to other pages.

Is there a fool-proof way to determine if a user has Javascript enabled in their browser? As discussed on another mailing list, there's no real need to detect if JS is enabled. If you write unobtrusive JavaScript (which is what jQuery helps you to do) if the user has JS disabled, things will continue to work. There's no reason to have separate JS/non-JS pages in most cases--especially for the kind of things you're working on. That said, the most full proof way I'm aware of to test if JS is enabled/disabled is driving traffic through a splash page which does a redirect. meta http-equiv=refresh content=2;url=page.htm?js=false script type=text/javascript self.location = page.htm?js=true; /script In this example if JS is enabled, the JS code would be executed redirecting the user to page w/a URL parameter indicating that JS was enabled. If the JS code doesn't execute, then the meta refresh would take over. However, I can't emphasis this enough, testing for JS is really unnecessary for all the work you've been talking about. You keep saying you want to make your code easier to manage and develop and detecting for JS in this case is just adding more complexity. It's much easier to just write the JS and if it doesn't execute then let the server-side code re-enforce the behavior. The last time I wrote any kind of detection script, was for a project that required Flash. It's been 9 years since I've written a script to detect for JS--and that was because I didn't know better. -Dan

Subject: [jQuery] Retrieving information outside of $this
I have a small problem, probably more to do with me not knowing more than
anything else!!
My structure is like so:
div class=main loc rel=album name=17 h3Los Angeles/h3 div
class=data div class=editable name=17bLatitude:/b span
name=latitude34.052019404448785/spanbr / bLongitude:/b span
name=longitude-118.24318885803223/span
/div
p
img src=trip-goto.gif name=goto rel= width=16 height=16
border=0 alt=View this location on the map. title=View this location on
the map. / a href=img src=trip-remove.gif width=16 height=16
border=0 alt=Remove this album from the trip. title=Remove this album
from the trip. //a /p /div /div
Clicking on each of these blocks (multiple blocks per list) changes it to an
editor and you can select on aGoogle Map the location and it updates etc.
Now what I want is when the trip-goto.gif img is clicked I want the map to
scroll to the lat and long held in the span. What I can't work out is in the
click event how to grab the lat and long from the span tags... either
traversing the tree backwards etc or another way. I can't / don't want to
use id's as there can be 20 of these per page in ahierachical fashion so I'd
rather work with '$this'...
Any thoguhts? I am sur eit's easy...
Thanks
Simon

Okay... I played around with the site for a few minutes and it works really well. I'm using IE7/PC and I noticed a few things that don't look quite right: Anytime the far right sidebar changes content here's what happens: 1) Existing content fades out 2) Existing content fades back in for about a half second 3) New content suddenly appears.

I can see the logic behind it: wanting to keep things behaving as much like ColdFusion as possible. However, I disagree with this choice. I'd rather each language deal with arrays the way they were designed. When sending JSON encoded data back from ColdFusion, arrays are converted from 1 based to 0 based. I think this is the right thing to do... but folks are welcome to disagree. :o) I'll be looking through the rest of the functions to see that they are also returning arrays whose indexes start with zero.

[jQuery] $('#model').change( function() not working
I had this code that I wrote which changed the href of the page based on a
dropdown. It worked as a stand-alone page, but now that I'm integrating it
into my site, it's not working. Code is at the bottom of the page. Here's
what's happening:
1) On load, the make dropdown fills in with live data. This part works
perfect in both IE and FF.
2) By default the first make option is selected, which tnen triggers all
models for that make. In this example, Honda is first, so it loads
2007 Accord and 2007 Civic.
- In FF, the Civic is the selected option, in IE the selected option is
--please select a model-- with the Accord and the Civic loaded after.
- In IE, the selected option is correct
3) When the user changes the Make, it should reload the model dropdown with
live data.
- This works in FF, but for some reason does not work in IE
Does anyone have any ideas?

Make:br /
select id=make disabled=true
optionloading.../option
/selectbr /
Model:br /
select id=model disabled=true
optionloading.../option

/form
Here's the jQuery code:
$(document).ready( function() {
getMakeSelect();
$('#make').bind(change,function(){
var modelSelect = $('#model');
getModelSelect($(this).val());
});
$('#model').change( function(){
var selModel = $('#model').val().replace(/ /g,%20);
alert($('#model'));
// var invid = $('#invPageid').val();
// var urlString = '/pages/page.cfm?pageid=' + invid +
'pagetype=35featureid=-1model=' + selModel;
// location.href = urlString;
});
function getMakeSelect() {
// load in the make dropdown
$.get(/Includes/ds3relatedselects.cfm, {method:'getMakesInInventory'},
function(data){
var tempData = data.split('!!!')
$('#make').removeAttr('disabled').html(tempData[1]);
re = /value=(\w+)/i;
found = tempData[1].match(re);

Subject: [jQuery] Re: SWFObject.js, IE and the onChange handler
Andy,
This is an extension of my post from yesterday...I've got some more
information and it's quite tricky.
My company uses SWFObject extensively to rewrite our SWFs. It's in
loads of places at the moment. Now, my coworker and I are writing some
related selects which work fine on a page by themselves, but when
combined on a page which uses SWFObject, the onChange handler in IE stops
working.
We're having trouble duplicating this exactly as sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't. But it appears that when SWFObject.js (1.4 or
1.5) is combined with jQuery.js and the change event handler the event
handler (at least for select boxes) stops working.
Has anyone else has experience with this? Does anyone have ideas of
what it could be or how to get around it? Here's what we know:
1) Without swfobject.js being used, the code works everytime.
2) When swfobject.js is used, the code only works about 1/10 of the time.
3) It almost seems like it has something do with the addVariables
method of the Flash object, but we can't be sure of that either.
Is this happening in every browser? I took a look at the source code for
SWFObject I didn't see anything that jumped out to me as being a conflict.
The only thing I saw that could be questionable, could be questionable is
this line:
/* add document.getElementById if needed (mobile IE 5) */ if
(!document.getElementById document.all) { document.getElementById =
function(id) { return document.all[id]; }}
Which really shouldn't even be executed for jQuery support browsers.

My second thought was that about a dozen or so people find it useful, but keep having to re-download, because I'm constantly releasing new functions and fixes. Either way, it's a fun bit of code to work on. :o) So, I've just released a new patch, which brings us up to 1.1.2. This patch adds the dimension checking ability to the IsArray() function. $.IsArray(myArray, 3); will return true if 'myArray' has three dimensions, and false otherwise. If you don't need this functionality right away, don't feel like you've got to go get the latest release. There are no additional bug fixes or anything of that nature. If you're interested, here's an idea of what I want to do next: 1. finish the DatePart() function. It's missing the 'y' and 'ww' date parts. 2. Add three additional functions (can't remember off hand which ones, but I've got it written down) :o) 3.

This code gives you an arrary containing the first character of any string

I only used the capStr var because I couldn't get indexOf working with the
capStr array. I'd also be interested in seeing if anyone has ideas to
improve the code.

You are first animating it to the left slowly, and then animating it to the
right. The left animation of all others includes the current one, and these
animations follow one after the other. I think if you filter out the
current one from your list to return left, it should work:
$('#buttons a span').not(# + me.attr('id')).animate({left: 0},
slow);

Subject: [jQuery] Conventional JS/DOM to jQuery conversion help
I am new to jQuery and have several questions:
1. To access a form element, I use: document.forms[frmname] [elementname]
What is the jQuery equivalent?
Will there be any significant speed difference between the old and
jQuery way?
2. This is basically the same as #1. I am getting the hang of accessing
elements by id using $(#elementid), but how do I access form elements by
name so I can avoid using ids.
3. I want to strip error messages after an input element -- essentially just
stripping DOM siblings after the input element. See function below:
function removeNextSiblings(elementid) {
var element = document.getElementById(elementid);
var parent = element.parentNode;
while (parent.lastChild) {
if (parent.lastChild == element)
break;
parent.removeChild(parent.lastChild);
}
}
Is there a shorter jQuery way to do this function. Ideally, it could start
with a reference to the source element object instead of an elementid so I
can avoid the use of ids in form elements.
And of course, what's the advantage to the jQuery way? Less code?
Slickers?

[jQuery] Boolean value for if an element exists
I've got some multiple dropdowns that I'm trying to conditionalize. Our
designers can select one (or both) of two sets of code. I'd like to
conditionalize my jQuery code so that if the redline dropdowns exist, I can
run that code, or if the inventory dropdowns exist, I can run THAT code.
Is there a way of assigning a boolean value using a jQuery call? Something
like this maybe?
var redlineExists = $('#redlineSelect');
Where if the element is there, then redlineExists would be true, and false
if it did not?
How might I do that?

var redline = $('#redline');
if (!redline.size()) {

The OP has a case where there are two forms, each with its own ID, however,
the elements of each form are the same so there are duplicate ID's.
Perhaps this is not the best design pattern, and class or name could be used

I think you can use a selector in a context attribute, but there isn't
much point in this situation. If all of your ID's are unique (and
they should be), $('#make') is enough. You don't need a context.
When you use the #, it's the same as doing document.getElementByID();

Maybe, within click or change:

});
So you document should look like:
tr
tdinput type=radio name=mybutton//td
td/td
td/td
td!-- This is your target --/td
td/td
...
/tr
The chain order:
$(this) -- the radio button
.parent() -- The td element wrapped around radio button
.siblings(td:eq(3)) -- All td element siblings, get the fourth
Haven't tested, hope it works for you.

For those of you who don't know, Coldfusion is built upon Java. Someone has taken it upon themselves to write a Java library, called Quertus, which parses PHP code. Someone else then built upon THAT and wrote a Coldfusion library which references the Quertus library and allows you to combine PHP and Coldfusion code on the same page, pass variables back and forth to each other and more. http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/ColdFusion_8_running_ PHP I don't know what the speed is (probably not as fast as the native zend interpreter, but still...PHP code mixed in with CF code is pretty kick ass. I read that someone else has done the same thing for Ruby.

[jQuery] Re: Getting the numeric value of the top attribute of an object
Right...I thought about using dimensions, but I don't think we're explicitly
setting top. So rather than loading in a plugin for only one usage location,
I just went a different route. Thanks for the reply Glen.

Is top set? What does firebug/ie developer say?
Are you looking for it's placement? You might want to use the dimensions
plugin, which can give exact placement.

I would like to dynamically get the numeric value for the top of an object.
I'm using this code:
var inventoryObj = $('#inventory');
inventoryObj.css('top');
But it just returns auto.
1) Am I using the correct method?
2) If so, is there a different method that I can use to get the value that I
need?

Subject: [jQuery] keycode javascript conversion to jquery
Hi all,
I'm looking to convert an old javascript function to jquery. It simple
captured the keycode event 13 (user pressing enter on the keyboard) if the
user hits enter it initiates the action of clicking a button. I want to try
jquery because no matter what I do with regular javascript, the keycode
never get properly initiated in firefox. I was wondering if any of you could
suggest the best method using jquery so it works with both firefox 2 and
IE6/7
Current javascript:
/* for enter key to initiate simple search clicking enter key */ function
DoEnterSearch(buttonName,e) {
var key;
var key = (e)? e.which: event.keyCode;
if (key == 13)
{
//Get the button the user wants to have clicked
var btn = document.getElementById(buttonName);
if (btn != null)
{ //If we find the button click it
btn.click();
if (event) event.keyCode = 0 ;
return false
}
}
}
Jquery implementation
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#searchtxt).keydown(
function(e){
var key = e.charCode || e.keyCode || 0;
$('buttonsmp').click();
}
);
});

Don't we have a plugin which might allay some of the speed concerns?

And honestly, these days, people spend 100k just on one IMAGE, which doesn't even provide any functionality. I'd say that increasing the library size up to 10k would be an acceptable compromise to get increased speed and flexibility.

Prototype is probably the best example of this, having been forced to finally formalize the project after sitting in limbo for almost a year, add chaining and even improve its DOM querying. With that said, its definitely our turn to get things ramped up but we're kind of in a quandary. See, one of the benefits of jQuery is its very small file size. We're still the smallest library out there and our overall functionality is on par with any of the ones listed. In terms of overall ease of use, I still think we're the leader. But in keeping a small size we're limited in how much tweaking can be done. Neither PT, Ext or Moo have limitations on file size so they have the flexibility to add much more code to enhance their speed than we do. Our core team certainly has the talent to greatly enhance the selector speeds but we want to continue to provide a nice, small package. So at the end of the day, it comes down to this: - We can increase selector speeds at the expense of file size or - We can continue to focus on providing tight code in a small package and take what is arguably a small hit in speed The reason I say arguably is because unless you're manipulating a HUGE amount of selectors, I'm not sure how much of a visual difference you would see. I know this has been discussed before and that was pretty much the consensus (ie: small # of selectors, no big deal. Large # of selectors, possible concern). Considering that we are, IMO, the project thats most in tune with its community, your feedback is definitely most welcome. Rey...

Your code is saying an A tag that has an id of response. To get a jQuery
object containing all a tags inside that div, it should look like this:

[jQuery] Re: Why I can't access to a tag in a div
Well, it depends. When you say that the content is generated dynamically,
are you saying that it's generated by a server side language like ColdFusion
or PHP? Or is it being generated by Javascript? If it's created by
javascript, after the page is loaded, then you'll need to reassign the click
handler to ANY new element on the page.

What I don't know is whether $('div.bam, span.bam') is faster than

I took the html from today's digg.com home page and changed the selectors to match it's content. I also added some full path selectors because I really did not know what would be faster, those are located toward the bottom of the list. With my new selectors, the test takes a bit longer, from start to finish it took about 2min 20 sec. I personally still don't get the li[class|=di], li[class~=digg-it], li[class*=igg], li[class$=it], li[class^=digg], I read the http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors page, but still don't get the full benefit of using them.
