jQuery Forum

i want to use an event when a textarea has changed, but only actually respond AFTER the user appears to be completed.

the best i have come up with is something like this:

i can only assume that the jquery wizards will find much amusement in my silly solution and come up with something far better.

thank you all very much.

block/block is a very useful plugin.

also, is this plugin actively maintained?  it appears there has been no activity for a few years.

i currently have this code:

this works great, as does this method (probably the same thing)

1. jQuery('div.One').click(function() {    myFunction(1);  });
2. jQuery('div.Two').click(function() {    myFunction(2);  });

i am currently trying to put these values into a object and loop through it like so:

1. var marksObject =
2. ( 'One'     :  1
3. , 'Two'     :  2
4. , 'Three'   : 3
5. };
6. for ( key in marksObject ) {
7.     className = 'div.' + key;
8.     idNbr = marksObject[key];
9.     jQuery(className).bind('click', function() { myFunction(idNbr);  });
10. }

my problem is that EVERY div ends up being bound to the LAST entry in marksObject.

in other words, "div.One", "div.Two", and "div.Three" all end up binded using a value of 3.

i suspect there is an easy solution or workaround to this.

thank you all very much.

i have been using the awesome superfish (v1.5.9) for some time with a rather large number of menu items and sub-menu items.

in other words, i could have 10 menu items, and each item in that menu has 10 more menu items, and each of those has 10 more menu items.

the problem has been that the menu items very quickly start to open below the bottom of the page.

so i put together this jquery script below to start forcing any menu item near the bottom of the page to open upward rather than down.

my question:  is there a better way to handle this situation?  my approach has worked fine, but i fear a new release of superfish might cause my jquery to stop working.

or should i submit this as a new idea to handle this situation?   or has this been handled in a subsequent release?  i would think this is a common situation.

21.                 // the very first hover-drop-down-open should not be moved.
22.         if  ( mainTop !== parentTop ) {
23.             if  ( mainBottom > ( parentBottom - thisHeight ) ) {
24.                 $(this).css('top', - (parentTop - mainBottom));    
25.             } else {
26.                      // just open upward, make the bottom of the block that just opened parallel with the bottom of the parent element
27.                 $(this).css('top', - (thisHeight - parentHeight) );
28.             } // }
