[jQuery] Re: New plugin: jquery.smoothDivScroll-0.5.js

[Sam Sherlock]

Nice stuff there.  I have been playing around with it I would like to be
able to click on the arrows and advance more rapidly through the
scrollablearea.  Guess this might be going against what your trying to do.

Perhaps also some class should be added so that certain styling is applied
where js is able to run

if some extra options could be specificed when initializing - in some cases
it would be nice to be able display the items in sets of 4 (configurable
rows  columns) perhaps also being able to initialze to a position (like
scrollable plugin see flowplayer example site)

Would be interesting to be able to use this with lazyloading images
(preloading two adhead)

[jQuery] Re: remove() Method Causes Flicker in Firefox

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Not sure why you would remove the photo... What happens when you hide
it.

On my G4 mac everything looks good except on the photo of "Little Dave
Thompson". It moves up and down as it comes in. No flicker but it
doesn't look right.

I think your problem is related to different dimension in your images.
When you display "Little Dave Thompson" you are removing an image with
different height dimensions. I'd recommend keep heights and widths the
same on all images. No need to remove images either. Just hide them,
check to see if they are there before you load them. (Easy to do in
JQuery)

The website looks great BTW. I have my own band (http://
RodeoClownsBand.com)

[jQuery] Re: please check website before launch

[ricardobeat]

wow that's way faster. Now the site loads in 5-10 seconds at most. I
didn't have any problems browsing the sets, images were always loaded
ahed. The only issue I found was that the navigation arrow image
didn't appear until all images in the set were loaded.

nice work!

[jQuery] Scroll Up Headline Reader ... with reverse button.

[Pixelstuff]

I just recently stumbled across jQuery while searching for a method to
scroll some headlines. Not only did I find a nearly perfect solution
but realized jQuery could do half the other things I wanted. All from
the same library.  So I'm impressed.


Anyway, I would like to modify the Scroll Up Headline Reader to back-
up one headline upon a button click, (ie. show the previous headline
that just went by) then refresh the interval. I was thinking I would
need a new function called headline_reverse that would basically do
the opposite of headline_rotate. I'm just having a little bit of
trouble getting my head around the actual calculations it's using to
step through and then reset to the first headline.

For the reverse or previous button I figured I would look for a click
on a "#prev" div and call the headline_reverse function. What I'm not
sure about is if there is a clean way to do this or if I should just
tack it on after the close of the hover call.

I'm also thinking it will only be a simple matter to build a next
button while doing just for niceties with whoever uses these things in
the future. I'm thinking both buttons should reset the timer after
scrolling up or down respectively.

Can anyone help me out with this. I'm not much of a programmer yet.

[jQuery] New plugin: jquery.smoothDivScroll-0.5.js

[tkahn]

Hi!

My name is Thomas Kahn and this is my first post to this list. I'm a
web developer working in Stockholm Sweden and I've just started
developing my my first plugin for jQuery; in fact jQuery is a totally
new experience for me - I started from scratch a week ago.  :-)

All the info, a demo and the current source code can be found here:

http://www.maaki.com/thomas/SmoothDivScrolling/

All the scrolling plugins that I found on the jQuery website where
scrolling in "element steps" and I wanted a plugin that would scroll
smoothly. Since I couldn't find one, I decided to code one myself.

Now I'm releasing somehing that is really a Beta with a big "B". It
wasn't intended to be released in public in the first place, but when
I saw that I would save time by developing a plugin for the project
that I'm currently involved in, I tought I'd share the code hoping
someone else will find it useful.

All improvements and suggestions are welcome!

[jQuery] Advice on sIEve/Drip

[Jeffrey Kretz]

While debugging my application (which makes heavy use of jQuery), after
several hours IE had consumed about 300MB.

 

So I figure I've got some memory leaks.

 

I tried sIEve 0.8 and wasn't able to find anything specific that was leaking
or causing problems.  I tried the system, dragged things around, opened
various popups, etc.  Basically used a while series of functions on the CMS.
No leaks reported at any time.

 

I then pulled up one of heavier js pages and put it auto-refresh for about
10 minutes.  It slowly went from 61MB to 66MB over a 10 minute period.

 

At no point during the auto-refresh, or during the other stages when I was
actually using the system, dragging things around, etc. were any specific
leaks reported.

 

Are there other actions I can take to track down the problem?

 

I noticed that sIEve/Drop hasn't been updated in over 2 years, so I'm
guessing it's not a maintained project.  Is there a better alternative?

[jQuery] Re: jQuery based Media Player - streaming today!

[Brice Burgess]

Hah! Well it turns out that the CDN crapped out and the streaming crew
is forced use a WMP stream -- all good except that the player I
provided was compiled (packed) without Windows Media Support! So; it
looks like the player will arise another day. In the meantime I'll be
cleaning things up, writing more documentation and skins, and gearing
up for a more public release. Feel free to email if you'd like to take
a peek at the code.

[jQuery] click

[blasto333]

I am having an odd behavior when calling click() on a checkbox [2] vs
manually checking a checkbox [1].



function checkbox_click(event)
{
event.stopPropagation();
do_email(enable_email.url);
if($(event.target).attr('checked'))
{

$(event.target).parent().parent().find("td").addClass('selected');
}
else
{
$(event.target).parent().parent().find("td").removeClass();
}
}


1. $('#sortable_table tbody :checkbox').click(checkbox_click);
2. $("#sortable_table tbody tr").click(function(event)
{
$(this).find(":checkbox").click();
});


#1 calls the function checkbox_click when a checkbox inside a table is
clicked. Is a checkbox is checked after the click occurs,$
(event.target).attr('checked') is TRUE.

#2 is called when a row in the table is clicked. It then finds the
checkbox inside the row and clicks it. This causes checkbox_click to
be fired, but ,$(event.target).attr('checked') is FALSE.

How can I get the same result from each function?
