Re: [jQuery] OT: technique to pass values to JS/JQuery through HTML
Hi there,another interesting feature I use very often is to extend the XHTML namespace and just use custom attributes like isDisabled, isEditable and such stuff.At any rate, your browser will ignore these attributes and you will have access to them via getAttribute, if you want a validating xhtml file, you should also add a custom dtd file. Check this out:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Hi Klaus,thanks for your answer and your hint to w3! So it seems to be a common
technique. I was wondering if I am the only one doing this, but it'sgood to know that I have accomplices out there ;-)Cheers, ArashKlaus Hartl schrieb:Arash, you could as an alternative use the class attribute for that, but
theres no need to feel false about the id as well. From the HTML Spec:The id attribute has several roles in HTML: * As a style sheet selector. * As a target anchor for hypertext links.
* As a means to reference a particular element from a script. * As the name of a declared OBJECT element. * For general purpose processing by user agents (e.g. foridentifying fields when extracting data from HTML pages into a database,
translating HTML documents into other formats, etc.).The class attribute, on the other hand, assigns one or more class namesto an element; the element may be said to belong to these classes. A
class name may be shared by several element instances. The classattribute has several roles in HTML: * As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign styleinformation to a set of elements).
* For general purpose processing by user agents.http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2

[jQuery] Preserving context within closure
Hi guys,
My friend has had some trouble signing up for this list, so he asked
me to forward this question while he tries to get his signup sorted
out:
// start quote
Is there any standardized way to preserve context when setting
callbacks within an object's method? Here's how I see it is done now:
function Editor() { // class Editor
var self = this;
$(document).ready(function() { self.doSomething(); });
}
Here's how I think it could be improved:
function Editor() { // class Editor
$(document).ready(function(ctx
) { ctx.doSomething(); }, this);
}
Do you see what I mean?
Thanks in advance,

Re: [jQuery] Preserving context within closure
From: Jonas Galvez (via Patrick Hall)
Is there any standardized way to preserve context when setting
callbacks within an object's method? Here's how I see it is done now:
function Editor() { // class Editor
var self = this;
$(document).ready(function() { self.doSomething(); });
}
Here's how I think it could be improved:
function Editor() { // class Editor
$(document).ready(function(ctx
) { ctx.doSomething(); }, this);
}
No offense, but that seems more complicated to me. To use it, I have to
remember two rules:
1) The second argument to .ready() is an object.
2) This object is passed into the callback function as the first argument.
That's not too bad, but what about .hover()? It takes two callback
functions. I guess we will have to add that context object as the third
argument. Every jQuery method would have to have this extra argument added,
documented, and tested.
By contrast, for the first example all I have to remember is:
1) Lexical scoping always works, with any nested function, in any JavaScript
code.
And it requires no code in jQuery to implement this.
I think I can understand a possible motivation for the context argument
approach, having been through a similar discussion a few years ago at Adobe.
I was using closures extensively in the Acrobat multimedia JavaScript API
that I was developing. My manager, an outstanding C++ programmer, saw this
code and got a little freaked out - he asked me if I had a bug, because it
didn't possibly look like it could work. I explained about closures, but he
thought JavaScript programmers were unlikely to understand them or be
comfortable with them, so he insisted that we provide context arguments very
much like the one in your example.
In retrospect, I should have stood my ground. Closures may be a bit
discomforting when coming from other languages that do not encourage or
allow them (C++, Java, etc.), but they are so powerful and useful that it
pays to get familiar with them.
If there's another motivation for the context argument I'd be curious to
know what it is - I certainly may have overlooked something.

Re: [jQuery] Display Data in Chunks
Hi Rahul,
I am running a PHP script which processes around 1500 records. Is
there a way in jQuery to get partial data back from the server. i.e.
get 100 finished records.
no, this is not JQuery's business (and this goes for every other
Ajax-Framework too). You have to make the *server* return only 100 records.
So you could call your server like this:
$('div').load('http://myserver.com/script.php?page=1pageSize=100');
$('div').load('http://myserver.com/script.php?page=2pageSize=100');
$('div').load('http://myserver.com/script.php?page=3pageSize=100');
...
And of course you have to adjust your script to process page/pageSize.
Cheers, Arash

Re: [jQuery] Preserving context within closure
Hi, As it stands the solution is having a var self = this variable declared in the same function context as the event callback closure is defined... but am I the only one who sees it as a bit way too messy? I guess so ;-) I don't think it is messy, actually it is very clear what happens and why it should be that way. I think your additional parameter is a lot more messy. Actually I don't see any problem with var selft=this. I guess only a few people use class-based approaches like I do, that might a possible explanation why no one has complained about it before The var selft=this-construct has no problems with your class-based approach. Maybe it is not comfortable for you, but JavaScript is not a class-based language and jQuery is not a class-based library.

Ok, this fixes one problem, but a further error occurs on line 641:

It appears that the getAttribute method on XML elements only accepts
a single argument:
return elem.getAttribute( name );
From the MS docs the second argument of 2 forces the method to be
case-sensitive, which if I'm correct, isn't required by any browser
other than IE. So is it possible to detect whether the browser is IE
and the document is an HTML doc - in which case use the two args method,
otherwise call with just one arg.
Sorry, I got this wrong - it doesn't force case sensitive.
According to the docs:
2 - Returns the value exactly as it was set in script or in the source
document.
Now I'm even more confused, what else would it return?

Re: [jQuery] Accessibility. Take it Seriously in Your Web Apps.
Consider your own independence. Now consider needing to rely on others for many tasks in your life. Why would someone with disabilities be any less desirous of independence than yourself? Sure, it's a bit of a hassle from a developer's point of view when you have so much else already stacked on your plate. Maybe screen reader companies who want an edge on the market should work harder at working with the mess of a web that is already out there. And maybe we can all chip in a bit to make the web a more useful place for everyone. Frankly, solid semantic web design is a goal for me regardless of the accessibility issue. Where it gets tricky of course is graceful degredation of all the javascript work we're so fond of on this list.

Adding accessibility to jQuery would be a whole 'nother issue. Thanks for the feedback. For my needs, if you can't bookmark the results of an AJAX application, it's not ready for prime time. Note that this is the /exact/ metric I applied to good Flash apps. I'd be interested in hearing John's perspective on this. [1] There is no such thing as an ALT or TITLE tag - they are attributes. Please start referring to them as such. Yes I know. I was typing quickly and had the img and anchor tags on my mind when I wrote that.

[jQuery] Help with loading a Google Map
I am trying to load this map page:
http://www.4realty.info/newAugust06/maps/map_test.html
into this test page:
http://www.4realty.info/newAugust06/map_example.html
The map_test.html file is the standard Google maps API script with
fixed coordinates.
The map_example.html file uses jquery to load map_test into a div using
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$(a.snoco).click(function(){
$(div#mapContainer).load(maps/map_test.html);
});
});
/script
As you can see by viewing the example, the file is loading into the
div, but the map is not being displayed.
I was unsuccessful in trying to use pieces of the Google Map plugin found here:
http://olbertz.de/jquery/googlemap.html
My goal is to have a list of cities that when clicked will load the
corresponding map into the div on the page (Ajax style).
Thanks for any help.

[jQuery] Multiple IE+Opera problems
Hi all,
I've got a problem, probably found a bug in jQuery.
The $.load function doesn't refresh the DOM in select-fields when
using IE6 (7 not tested) or Opera(8.5 and 9beta) but in FF it works.
I've got the following source (unimportant things are hided):
in Head:
script type=text/javascript src=appxfile/jquery.js/script
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#KLS).bind(change, function() {
$(#STW).load(./ajax.html);
})
});
/script
in Body:
table
tr
td class=FixTextKlasse/td
td class=FixTextStichwort/td
/tr
tr
td
select name=KLS id=KLS
option/option
option value=AdrGruppeAdressgruppe/option
option value=AdrVerantverantwortliche
Person/option
/select
/td
td
select name=STW id=STW
/select
/td
/tr
/table
an Alert instead of the load function works.
Another Problem is to display a ToolTip (or any other hover-Thing) when
hovering an option within a select-list like this:
select name=KSWT
optgroup label=foo
option value=foo title=foofoo/option
/optgroup
/select
Without optgroup it doesn't work, too.
Thanks for replying (and please leave me a copy if you answer to the
mailinglist - i only receive daily digests)
Yours,
Michael

I've got a problem, probably found a bug in jQuery. The $.load function doesn't refresh the DOM in select-fields when using IE6 (7 not tested) or Opera(8.5 and 9beta) but in FF it works. It's a cross-browser issue, arguably a bug in IE (and Opera?), but should jQuery should try to work around the problem. I am pretty sure that IE does not support innerHTML to update options on a select element. The ajax .load() basically reduces to innerHTML, so that won't work. I believe it does work to replace the entire select though, maybe you could do that. Or, you could send your information as JSON and have the callback build the option elements using new Option methods. ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
[jQuery] Performance of idrag/idrop
Hi,
I've created a UI where items can be dragged from a palette and
dropped into a table - using jQuery and iDrag/iDrop from Interface.
So, I've made every table cell and heading ('th.td') a Droppable,
so there could be hundreds of droppables, but only a small amount
of draggables (ie. less than 20).
Now this is causing a major delay on starting a drag operation.
I've had a look at idrop.js, and highlight() seems to where the
delay occurs. I tried to profile the code using venkman, but can't
my head round it at the minute - anyone know an easy way to profile
a javascript function?
Anyway, could anyone suggest an alternative, some performance
improvements, or where the bottleneck is in highlight()?
I thought about making the whole table a droppable - but I'm unsure
of how to retreive the target element from a draggable.
(BTW, i'm using ghosting if it makes a difference)
Cheers

Re: [jQuery] Performance of idrag/idrop
When you drag an element each droppable is interrogated until overlaps
or to the end if no droppable is overlapped. If you have a large amount
of drop zones in a grid with the same dimensiunos then you can use
'onDrag' and 'onDrop' callback from draggable to use mathematic rules
for overlapping and decide witch drop zone is overlapped and to do
further action.

Re: [jQuery] Accessibility. Take it Seriously in Your Web Apps.
I took this from the other thread "Ajax Throbber How-to?" since I believe it fits into this one better: When was the last time you disabled _javascript_? Today, yesterday and most days before that. Not for my normal web browsing, but for ensuring that the applications I build work without _javascript_. Now even if you don't care about blind people, one thing you should care about is writing good code. That includes using graceful degradation for every aspect you can. Why that is important? Because the landscape of browsers out there is incredibly complex and it's difficult to test your site with all of them. Now you can take the common "screw everything non ie/firefox" path or even include "opera/safari" in that, but you can also try to do better. No matter how old / bad a browser is, chances that it displays semantic html correctly and can handle normal forms are *very* high. So if you make a site that works just with that, and can manage it to build all this fancy _javascript_ as a layer on top of it, you've build an accessible web application for 99% of the people. That also includes the majority of internet users that do *not* have access via broadband and sometimes turn off JS / images just to gain speed. And I have to admit that I'm on a 64 kbit connection myself and most of those fancy 500 kb js web 2.0 apps have very little appeal to myself. Yet another reason I like the lightweightness of jQuery. One exception to what I've written above is the administration / back end area of your site. I think it's reasonable to set lower goals for the accessibility requirements on it unless it's going to be used by thousands of people. However, I still try do keep it light on JS anyway.

Re: [jQuery] Accessibility. Take it Seriously in Your Web Apps.
That's an excellent point Yehuda. It's very easy to under estimate the work involved in making an entire application accessible. I've suffered through this pain for a huge Swing application. But at the same time, people often over estimate what is involved (especially for a small web-app or website). The bar is actually rather low: the app or site must be usable. If I disable css and js, can I use your site? If I use a screen reader with your site will it work? It doesn't have to be pretty and it doesn't have to be optimized (bonus points if it is though). It just has to work. Mike On 9/11/06, Yehuda Katz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Visual jQuery does not work without js. That was a purposeful decision I made to get it out the door and working.

[jQuery] Client-side query term highlighting demo using jQuery
Client-side query term highlighting demo using jQuery
http://dossy.org/referer-demo.html
Here's a quick client-side query term highlighting demo that uses jQuery
to parse the document.referrer and walks the DOM to highlight text by
wrapping it in a span with the class qterm.
Thanks, John, for pointing out that I can recursively walk the DOM with
$(body *) ... that hit the spot.
Here's the code:
style type=text/css
.qterm { color: #444; background-color: #ee9; font-weight: bold; }
a span.qterm { color: #00f; text-decoration: underline; }
a:hover span.qterm { color: #666; }
/style
script language=JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
if (!document.referrer) return;
var matches = document.referrer.match(/[?]q=([^]*)/);
if (!matches) return;
var terms = unescape(matches[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
var re = new RegExp().compile('(' + terms + ')', 'i');
$(body *).each(function() {
if ($(this).children().size() 0) return;
if ($(this).is(xmp, pre)) return;
var html = $(this).html();
var newhtml = html.replace(re, 'span class=qterm$1/span');
$(this).html(newhtml);
});
});
/script
Naturally, my parsing of document.referrer is *very* naive. Naturally,
adding the appropriate expressions to match more than just Google (or
any search engine that uses the q=terms form) is probably necessary.
I leave that up to you folks to help fill that part in. :-)

[jQuery] Tabs plugin update: autoheight, effects
Hi all,
I have updated the tabs plugin a bit again. There is now an autoheight
option with which turned on all tabs have the same height. That avoids
jumping content on a page on tab selection.
$(...).tabs({fxAutoheight: true});
Not sure if I mentioned it here before, but you can also have a fade
and/or slide effect for the tab switching...
$(...).tabs({fxSlide: true, fxFade: true, fxSpeed: 'fast'});
If you omit the fxSpeed option it will default to 'normal'.
All kind of examples here: http://stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs/
If you use effects you should include the following CSS in your style
sheet to override inline styles and ensure printing (it's also in the
demo's CSS, but I think it's worth mentioning):
@media print {
.fragment {
display: block !important;
height: auto !important;
opacity: 1 !important;
}
}
This works in all modern browsers. Needless to say that IE is not a
modern browser. I will add that later.

[jQuery] Only allow PDF File upload
Hi, I would like to create a simple file upload form. The whole thing should be something like described here: http://ch2.php.net/features.file-upload But I would like to restrict the upload to PDF files. Since I already have jQuery running for other purposes I was thinking about using it for this as well. (At least for the first stage to check the last three letters of the filename. If I am right it is not possible to check the MIME type before sending) My idea is to check the file-input field as soon as the name of the file is in there. I am not sure now if I can treat this file-input field like a text-input field or if I have to look for something special. If I have to treat is special can someone give me more information on how to do it? Thanks, Raffael ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Would anyone have any idea why checkboxes within the THEAD and TFOOT of
a table would not be recognized up by the following:
$(document).ready(function(){

// do whatever
});
}); // end ready function
I'm working on a check/uncheck all script:

where the checkboxes in the header and footer of the table should
select/deselect all the others. If I put those checkboxes into regular
TBODY rows, they work fine. But as soon as the THEAD and TFOOT tags are
applied, it's as if the script can't even see that they exist (as tested
using simple alerts).
Any ideas?

Make sure you dont just accept any inputs from that form, its really easy to spoof referrers and all of that, so be sure to check the file's header in your server-side script and make sure its application/pdf.

Re: [jQuery] Checkboxes
Actually, have discovered that the problem has nothing at all to do with
the HTML table structure. Appears to be a conflict with the table
sorting script that I currently have in place (which will shortly be
replaced with the excellent JQuery solution from Christian Bach).
Appreciate the look-see, though, Matt!
