[jQuery] Re: iframe bug document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,null)
I think this this is covered by bug 1661 http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/1661 I just ran into this problem as well. Hopefully it will be addressed soon.

As a quick fix for this problem, you can make a plugin (I think this
would classify as a plugin)
just add the following after you include jquery
jQuery.extend({
curCSS: function(elem, prop, force) {
var ret, stack = [], swap = [];
// A helper method for determining if an element's values are
broken
function color(a){
if ( !jQuery.browser.safari )
return false;
var ret = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(a,null);
return !ret || ret.getPropertyValue(color) == ;
}
if (prop == opacity jQuery.browser.msie) {
ret = jQuery.attr(elem.style, opacity);
return ret == ? 1 : ret;
}
if (prop.match(/float/i))
prop = styleFloat;
if (!force elem.style[prop])
ret = elem.style[prop];
else if (document.defaultView
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) {
if (prop.match(/float/i))
prop = float;
prop = prop.replace(/([A-Z])/g,-$1).toLowerCase();
var cur = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
null);
if ( cur !color(elem) )
ret = cur.getPropertyValue(prop);

stack.unshift(a);

display type that they
had)
for ( a = 0; a stack.length; a++ )
if ( color(stack[a]) ) {
swap[a] =
stack[a].style.display;
stack[a].style.display =
block;
}
// Since we flip the display style, we have to

[jQuery] New Google Browser announced
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10029974-2.html?tag=mncol;txt Looks like we have another browser to contend with.
[jQuery] Re: New Google Browser announced
Not sure what the part about the new javascript virtual machine means. The browser is being written with WebKit, the open-source engine at the core of Apple's Safari and Google's Android. The browser is also getting a new Javascript virtual machine, V8. It's said to be a better solution for complex and rich Web applications--it should yield better performance as well as smoother drag and drops in interactive applications.

Great. That is what I thought and was hoping for. Thank you for the info -Geoff On Oct 1, 7:00 pm, Mike Alsup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I make a query, say using a class selector. I will get a jquery object back. I can iterate over that object using each(). Is there a guaranteed order that the elements in this object will be exposed in the each loop? If so, what is it? I have looked around and I can't seem to find this documented anywhere. If this is address somewhere, sorry. Thanks -Geoff If it's a simple selector, like .myClass, then the order of the elements will match the order in which they appear in the DOM. If it is a compound selector, like .classOne, .classTwo then your each loop would iterate all the .classOne elements first (in their DOM order) and then the .classTwo elements. Mike
[jQuery] Questions about $.live, Live Query and performance
$.live and Live Query are both wonderful. I am hoping to put them to
extensive use in my projects.
I have a few questions about $.live and Live Query and their effect on
performance.
Background: If I recall correctly, the original release of Live Query
could have some performance problems. I don't remember if things
bogged down when the DOM had a lot of elements, when you added a large
number of Live Query events, did a lot of updating or exactly what.
Question 1:
What were the specific concerns around performance with the 1.0.x
releases of Live Query?
Now with jquey 1.3, there is $.live. $.live does not do everything
that Live Query does, but does do some of it.
Question 2:
Does $.live use a different technique for handling events than Live
Query?
Question 2a:
If it is different, are there any performance concerns using $.live
like there used to be with Live Query?
Live Query 1.1.x requires jquery 1.3. I am guessing that the new
version uses $.live internally.
Question 3a:
Is the performance of Live Query better in the 1.1.x version?
Question 3b:
Are there some selectors that have better performance than others? or
to say it another way, do all of the selectors perform the same or,
for example, does
$('input').livequery('click', function() { });
perform better than
$('input').livequery('change', function() { });?
Using $.live or Live Query.
Question 4:
Is there any difference in performce between using
$('input').livequery('click', function() { });
vs
$(input).live(click, function(){ });?
I am thinking of really diving in to using $.live and/or Live Query. I
am trying to get a complete understanding of all of the issues that
may arise.
Thanks

The subjective part is defining a sample group. If someone has a sample group that they have measured connections speeds for, the rest of the equation falls into place. I am not asking for 'imaginary' numbers. I am asking if anyone has investigated this question and if they have any results they can share.

[jQuery] Validate: Focus on first invalid field after validation
I've been building up my validation using the jquery validation plugin but I can't work out how to get a failed validation to default the focus to the first invalid input rather than to the last selected input. If there is no input field selected, when I submit then a failed validation will focus the cursor on the first field but if the cursor was left in a field and submitted then the focus stays there (if it's invalid) rather than jump to the first invalid input. From what I've read and seen, this is the expected behaviour but not what I want. Is there a way I can get the first invalid field and set the focus to that?

Hmmm...I tried this but I discovered on the first submit that it
doesn't focus the first invalid field but it will if I hit return to
submit again.
Also, when hitting submit on a field that's not checked for validity,
the form will submit successfully this second time as well despite
still having invalid fields.
You can test it out using my sample form from the OP.

[jQuery] Re: Validate: Focus on first invalid field after validation
Not for me.
In Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5.3 under Snow Leopard and Firefox 3.5.3
under XP:
Click in a required field (not the first one) and hit return. Focus
stays in the focused field. Hit return again and the focus jumps to
the first invalid field.
If you focus a non-required field and hit return, the focus stays in
the non-required field but you do get the error messages for invalid
fields. If you hit return again, the focus jumps to the first invalid
field but then the form submits successfully.
In Internet Explorer 7 under XP:
Click in required field (not the first one) and hit return. Focus
stays in the focused field. Hit return again and the focus stays in
the focused field.

[jQuery] Re: Validate: Focus on first invalid field after validation
Ok, the problem with the non-validated fields submitting on hitting
return twice is resolved by removing the following...
onfocusout: function(element) {
$(element).valid();
},
The problem is, I want this as I want an error to show if they tab
through required fields and leave them blank.
It doesn't resolve the issue of the first submit still focusing on the
last field focused and the second submit then moving the focus.

If you can get by without the ability to click on the slider to get the handle to move, you might try a real ugly hack. You can put two handles on the slider, and then hide the first handle. Only the first handle is affected by clicking on the slider. It is ugly, but might solve your problem.

Yeah, I see the hidden slider too when clicking and dragging.
Looking at firebug, it looks like a copy of the handle is made while
sliding, and that is what is showing up.
Maybe there is a solution with unbind? May not even need to have the hidden

On first try I've got some strange stuff happening if i click and
inadvertently drag a little. The hidden slider appears while being
dragged and then disappears again when let go... but maybe some
tweaking can solve that...
Maybe we could override the click event somehow? Sadly the following
doesn't work:
$('.slider').click(function(){ return false; }).Slider(
{
accept : '.indicator',
fractions: 100,
onChange : function( cordx, cordy, x , y) { /* Do

values: [ [200,0] ]
}
);
Nor does it work if i move the .click() to after the .Slider() . Also
tried adding .unbind('click') but no joy there either. If there's some
way of making it work then that would be the cleanest solution
probably. Any ideas? :)

Gordon, I am not going to be much help with the slider questions you have. I can only give some personal experience. Sorry. I did a project a few months ago and found the sliders to be wanting in many ways. They were hard to get set; the css had to be very precise. There is the annoying bug with a double slider where if you click on the rail, on slider will jump to that position, but not the other. We had to do some hacks when hiding/showing sliders as well. For a stepped, double slider, we decided to allow both handles to come together to select only one increment, and then either one could progress pass the other. We have no limit to one handle crossing the other. The other hack that we used was to actually have 3 handles, and to hide the first one to prevent the problem of clicking on the rail. If you want to check it out, go to www.farecast.com and run a search for a flight. You can pull it all apart some with firebug. Sorry I couldn't help you further.

[jQuery] thickbox, lightbox jqModal, reloaded, dim screen...
I have a new project on my plate to create an interface similar to Netflix, basically, a lightbox effect. By its very nature, the content in the lightbox will be in the form of an Iframe. Which plug in would be recommended? There seems to be a number of them that do similar effects. I am unsure of what the plusses and minuses of each are. Are they all up to date with the current release of jquery? (Though it looks like this project will be staying with 1.1.2 for awhile.) There is some question as to the height of the included page in the Iframe. The height of the included page may be variable, and the desire is to have a variable height of the iframe. That is, not to have a scroll bar in the iframe, but to scroll the including page (this is not a hard and fast requirement) Do any of these plugins have a feature like this? Does anyone have a preferred plugin for this type of user interface? Any that are too old or have other issues and should be avoided? Thanks in advance -Geoff

I am interested in how to create a query to specific elements inside an iframe. The assumption is that the iframe is already loaded _ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karl Swedberg Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 12:37 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: bookmarklet iframe question Hi Geoffrey, I don't know much about iFrames, but Daemach put together a frameReady plugin that should point you in the right direction: http://ideamill.synaptrixgroup.com/?p=6 --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Aug 1, 2007, at 3:26 PM, Geoffrey Knutzen wrote: I am writing a bookmarklet for my own debugging needs.

[jQuery] Re: New Yahoo Minifier - YUI Compressor
I went to a short talk by Steve Souders, the Chief Performance Yahoo. He has done a bunch of investigation on performance at Yahoo and has come up with his 13 rules for better performance. And has written a book about it. http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html His research showed that $40 - %60 clean cache number. Really puts a different light on relying on cache to shorten page load. Makes me happy for 20k limits on things Note: Even he admits that the rules are more of a guideline and that they need to be implemented when it makes sense, not all the time, every time. _ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brandon Aaron Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 7:18 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: New Yahoo Minifier - YUI Compressor Cool. Thanks for sharing with the list. Minifying and gzip compression is my preferred solution. Using JSMin it gets down to about 36k and using mod_deflate it goes down to about 11k. However, the most interesting thing I read out of that article was that that claim, 40% to 60% of Yahoo!'s users have an empty cache experience and about 20% of all page views are done with an empty cache. If that is true ... so much for that age old but it gets cached argument. -- Brandon Aaron On 8/14/07, Tane Piper mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey folks, Today I came across this article via DZone: http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/08/13/introducing-the-yui-compressor/ The YUI Compressor is a new JavaScript minifier. Its level of compaction is higher than the Dojo compressor, and it is as safe as JSMin. Tests on the YUI library have shown savings of about 18% compared to JSMin and 10% compared to the Dojo compressor (these respectively become 10% and 5% after HTTP compression) I've given it a test run on my own code, and it really seems to work, version 1.4 of jMaps was 12.6k, and this compressor took it down to 4.6k minified, that's a 58% reduction in code, while producing no errors, something I have never truly been able to get with packer. jQuery minified with this (1.1.3) goes down to 31.5kb - not as small as the packed version, but still an impressive reduction in size. -- Tane Piper http://digitalspaghetti.me.uk This email is: [ x ] blogable [ ] ask first [ ] private
[jQuery] Re: Interface slider - get value of multiple handles
I don't think you can get both values using onSlide(). You need to keep track of both values somewhere else and update those values as you slide. It gets tricky when the sliders cross, but you can work through it -Original Message- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simpel Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:42 AM To: jQuery (English) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [jQuery] Interface slider - get value of multiple handles Hi there! so...I've been looking at the interface slider (http:// interface.eyecon.ro/demos/slider.html) I'd like to use two horizontal sliders but how do I get the current value for them, the onSlide function only seems to display the value for the slider that was changed last, I wan't to be able to pull the values for both handles whilst dragging one of them /Joel

[jQuery] Re: Enterprise Javascript?
In a former life, I worked at a startup that was doing just that. Giving database access to server-side javascript. Worked pretty well too. The company died during the dot-com bust, but the remnants live on as a company called Dataweb. http://www.dataweb.com/default.view You can sign up for their trial and have a look. It is actually pretty cool. *note: their development environment hasn't been updated in years, so it doesn't work with FF. -Original Message- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake McGraw Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:03 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: Enterprise Javascript? Actually, if you'd like to use js to access a database, may I suggest Adobe AIR? Basically, in allows you to embed JS/HTML into an installable application, which allows you to move away from the browser security model and do all kinds of crazy stuff like cross site scripting, off-line operation and direct database interaction. I just attended the Adobe onAIR conference in NYC, there is a lot of interest in this new technology and I think jQuery could play a major role in desktop applications if this becomes popular. www.adobe.com/go/air - jake On 9/26/07, Danjojo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We have Java, .NET, PHP, and CFM...

[jQuery] detecting height change in an iframe
I am trying to write a function to autosize an iframe so that the iframe expands it's height to the height of the page the iframe contains. I have been successful in getting the iframe to resize when a page is loaded into the iframe. My problem is what to do when that page is dynamic and changes it's height after it has loaded. Is there some way to detect when a page has changed it's height? I have been looking at this problem all day and have been blocked with everything I have tried. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance -Geoff
[jQuery] Order of elements in a jquery object
