jQuery Forum

Sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.

For about a week now, whenever I try to manage my plugins in the plugin site, i get the 'white screen of death'. (pls see attached). Am I the only one getting this?

hi
i would like to know why .dialog('destroy') does not return the dialog
container to it's original position in the dom? im building an ajax
application and am re-binding the dialog to new html retrieved and
inserted into the dom via ajax. the container ID will be the same in
every case. for example: $('#download-dialog').dialog();
when i want to re-bind the dialog after an ajax request, javascript
gets confused as there are now 2 divs with the same id in the dom.
this is because the UI dialog widgets moves the dialog html to the end
of the document.
from the jquery ui docs, it says using .dialog('destroy') "will return
the element back to its pre-init state". this is not the case for me,
the dialog element remains at the end of the document.
ofcourse a quick fix in my situation would be something like $
("#download-dialog").dialog('destroy').remove(), but i found that
using destroy was misleading, and i had to investigate to figure out
what actually it does.
i was just wondering if this is intentional or a small oversight?

Hi there
The subject soughta explains my query; why is there no preview of the
ui-theme when download jquery ui packages? I think this will be most
useful ;)

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, please let me know if
I should post site bugs somewhere else.
There's a little bug in the jQuery UI site functional demos.
When you click on one of the effects links (Easing or General or Show/
Hide), then click on one of the buttons to preview the effect, it
redirects you to http://ui.jquery.com/download_builder/
Is this a bug or this intentional? (I think it's a bug.)
I spent a bit of time going through the UI Javascript trying to find
the event that is being binded to these buttons, but have had no
luck.
I hope this reaches the right people.

Why doesn't the little snippet of jQuery code on the homepage use a
better example? When you run the code, it show's a paragraph, but the
paragraph has padding, so towards the end of the animation it "jumps".
Wouldn't it be so much smoother, and hence more impressive, to show a
paragraph without any padding?
I'm assuming the .show("slow") function doesn't take into account
padding when finding the height of the container, and hence the
unexpected animation jump. (Doesn't the innerHeight() plugin, that is
now part of jQuery core, take care of this?)
I think someone should fix that example, I hope this message reaches
the right people.
Peace, Rich

Hi all
I recently make a classic old school "snakey" game using jQuery. It
was a lot of fun, and something I'd been wanting to do since I was
young. It ain't no serious game, more like proof of concept?
Anyways, it's kinda fun. It supports levels, wall obstacles, snake
growth etc.
I've just create a new project over at google code, you can check it
out there:
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-snakey/
- I will put up a demo soon, for now you can view the source and
download the demo files..
- I would like to get some feedback from people; suggestions, bugs &
errors so I can improve the game. - I've only tested it on FF2 & FF3.
many thanks

How long does it take to sort out hosting issues?
1 month, 2 months?
I've been reading all the comments from frustrated developers who are
unable to do their job because the jQuery site does not load. I
thought those people should understand the situation and be patient.
Now it's my turn to complain, because now this is affecting my job.
Media Template obviously don't have the knowledge or capacity to
correctly host a high traffic site. What's the problem, really, i'm
curious why this SERIOUS issue has not been resolved after so long?

Hi There
I've integrated a keyup event listener to listen for when the enter
key is pressed on certain elements, to submit a form, as I am using a
custom submit button (in the form of an anchor).
I'm using the following code:
$("#email, #password").keyup(function(e) {
if(e.keyCode == 13) {
$("#loginform").submit();
}
});
Fair enough, that works as expected. The only problem I have is when I
focus on the #email field, for example, my browser presents me with a
drop down list of previous entered email addresses, (form history).
When I use my arrow keys to scroll down the list to select my email,
and I hit enter, the form is posted. This behavior makes complete
sense, I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions with regards
to a work around? (IE, when I hit enter on the selected email in the
form history drop down, I don't want the form to be posted, I just
wanted the selected email to populate the focused form input element.)

Hey There
I recently starting working on a Mac using FF2 as my browser of
choice. After a short period I noticed the infuriating text dimming
FF2/Mac opacity bug. Thanks to the support from this group, I found
that by by adding -moz-opacity:.999 to the body would fix this issue,
but recently Joel Birsh pointed out this fix causes issues with FF3.
He found an elegant solution to this:
if ($.browser.mozilla && parseFloat($.browser.version) < 1.9 &&
navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Mac') !== -1) $('body').css('-moz-
opacity',.999);
I see sites daily that experience the same issue because the
developers are obviously unaware of the issue, as I was until I
started working on a mac. So, why not include the above as part of the
core jQuery package to once and for all sort his issue out?

Hi There
I have been struggling to correctly format a datastring to be sent via
POST that may contain 'invalid characters'. I am trying to send text &
html via ajax post, and this has been achieved mainly due to
Javascript's escape() function. For example, to send the ampersand
(&), escape() is used to convert the character to it's (8bit?) value.
For the most part the escape function correctly formats the data
string, but there are certain characters that will not be escaped, and
will be processed literally, eg: the plus (+) character.
I assume the reason why I cannot send the + char as part of the data
string, is because if the + is used in the url it is seen as an
escaped space character.
Without completely re-working my system, is there any possible way of
sending all data literally in a data string using $.ajax via post?
I'm using the following code:
$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '/cms_page_manager/savepage',
        data: dataString,
        error: function(XHR, status, error) {
        },
        success: function(msg){
        }
     });
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had some more
experience with character handling, right now i'm about to pull my
hair out!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi There
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed or experience the weird
effect that fade has on the screen when viewed in FF on a mac
(leopard). In safari and opera, even IE run under parallels, there is
no screen flicker.
When the fade is occuring, some colours, even the font changes
slighty, then returns to normal state once the fade has finished. This
does not occur with a simple timed opacity change, using regular
javascript. I cannot say I have experienced this with other libraries.
Is it just the type of screen i'm using, or is this common for FF(2)
Mac?
I was wondering if I should post this as a bug?
Peace, Rich

Hi there
I have noticed a very weird bug when using $.html() in IE6.
For example I have:
<div id="content">

paragraph

<ul>
<li>list item 1</li>
<li>list item 2</li>
<li>list item 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
When I used
$("#content").html()
I get

paragraph

<ul>
<li>list item 1
<li>list item 2
<li>list item 3
</ul>
Other other browser is fine, problem is with IE6.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Just a suggestion, or a question, why aren't css sprite images being
used to build the dialog window? Less requests = faster loading. You
could place all those separate (background) images into 1 image file
and use background-position. This is what I have done, not sure why
the default dialog does not use this technique, perhaps this issue has
been addressed before?
Peace
Rich

I was wondering if there is any way of making the tabs still retain
their original link after you have click on a tab.
IE when you click on a tab, it goes selected but the link still
remains and the cursor still remains as a link area, so when you are
viewing the content of the selected tab, you still have the option of
reloading the content of the tab you are viewing by clicking on the
selected tab.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi There
I'm realling ejoying using tabs, especially the ajax content. I would
like to know if there is painless way of updating the current tabs
content via ajax without using the tabs. For example you view the
content of a tab, click on a link within the tab, and the current tabs
content updates dynamically, without changing the order of the current
selected tab?
Any suggestions would be greatly apprecated.

I love jquery, the only issue I have is the non-graceful degradation
of some methods with mainly Safari Ver < 2.
I understand this browser is outdated, and perhaps the worst browser
out there, but my colleagues at work still use it.
If some of the features of jquery are not available for safari 1x, why
not make it degrade gracefully?
For instance, I want to show() a division layer, that has set
display:none.
If safari 1x does not support the opacity effects, then why not
degrade to simply changing the container style to display:block,
instead of returning and doing nothing?
I think this would be a great advantage if jquery could do this, i
would like to know why jquery does not support "graceful degradation".
Thank you for any comments.
