Sortable
Hello, I would like to begin using sortable. I know it's in alpha stage, and I have some problems with it. I would like to help, but don't know who contact for helping. Thanks! Cris
Weekly bunch of project updates
Hi guys, here's the weekly roundup of updates: <br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. uiUpload</span> Gilles released a first beta version of the uiUpload component to try out. If you have not tried it before, give it a shot: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/t/81f1cc3635fbc529">http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/t/81f1cc3635fbc529</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Generic callback and plugin methods</span> There is now a generic callback function
UI + Metadata plugin
I've been thinking of how to simplify enabling/creation of simple UI widgets. What about using the class attribute, like the metadata plugin does? Example: <div class="ui-draggable">Drag me</div> <div class="ui-droppable:{accept:'ui-draggable'}">Drop on me</div> <div class="ui-resizable:{minWidth:200,maxHeight:100}"> Resize me <div class="ui-se-resize"></div> </div> The idea being that this would be equivalent to the following: <div id="myDrag">Drag me</div> <div id="myDrop">Drop on me</div>
Where's doc for Sortable?
All I got is an empty page... Should I use Interface for now instead? http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Sortables Thanks!
It's all about the filesize :)
Hey guys, not so important but still nice: If you include all files needed for drag and drop, it relates to these filesizes (ui.js, ui.mouse.js, drag.js, drag.ext.js, drop.js, drop.ext.js) 27,4k raw source code 19,0k minified (with Dean Edward's packer) 11,6k packed (with Dean Edward's packer) All that's left for inclusion is jQuery (of course) and the dimensions plugin (from 5 to 8k). Now is that lightweight for a full featured drag and drop solution or what?! ;-)<br clear="all"> -- -- Paul Bakaus
Themeables
Hey guys. So I started looking at Ext (nice set of UI controls) and there's a lot there, but luckily jQuery already has most of them implemented as plugins, (tableFilter, tabs, thickbox, ect...). Two things I'm not sure we have are resizeable boxes (so fun to play with) and trees. Digging into the UI code on the SVN it looks like we might have resizeables covered. So what I'm wondering is, can we come up with a list of all the plugins we want themeable (at least initially)?
Another example of pro UI components
Guys, as you're building out the UI components, one company that seems to have a good handle on the UI component game is Nitobi (<a href="http://www.nitobi.com/">http://www.nitobi.com/</a>). Be sure to check them out for possible ideas on theming, features, functionality and even demos. <a href="http://www.nitobi.com/">http://www.nitobi.com/</a> Rey...
Fix for Safari "Label Click"-bug added to "files"
Guys, i've uploaded a fix for the Safari "Label Click"-bug in the "files" section.
tree table
Plus: #TreeTableView idea, the simple rough version: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $(".tableTree tr").each(function(){ var tr = $(this); var td = $("td:first", tr); td.flag = true; td.bind("click", function(){ var i = $(td).parent().attr("id"); if(td.flag) { $("tr[@id^="+ i +"_]").hide(); td.flag = false; } else { $("tr[@id^="+ i +"_]").show(); td.flag =
uiConsole?
Is it an idea to create some sort of console box? This could be a simple div with some functions and styling attached to it. It would certainly help me if i could drop this on the page and check callbacks. Anybody up for it?
uiUpload status
Okay guys, i've put a lot of time into uiUpload yesterday. The Javascript is currently 2.5kb uncompressed and the actionscript code is currently 11,9kb uncompressed (2kb (!!) compiled SWF). The actionnscript code is a rewrite of SWFUpload and i added some more callbacks to it, cleaned up some errors and so on. This means we don't use Adobe Flash for this (=we don't have to supply an FLA and people have to have Adobe Flash installed) but we supply an open-source .AS file which people can edit and
document.elementFromPoint
Hey All - So Rey stumbled across this interesting post talking about a semi-obscure method: document.elementFromPoint. Apparently it's implemented in all browsers but Firefox. At the very least, it seems like it could be used to speed up some chunks of code rather well. Here's a blog post of the guy talking about it: http://www.rubendaniels.com/2007/07/12/multibrowser-complex-dragdrop/ You can download it here: http://developer.javeline.com/downloads.php He built it for this application: http://www.ajax.org/
UI Event Handlers
ningu (in addition to providing a bunch of drag-n-drop fixes - thanks!) suggested ui event handlers have access to the event object, to get things like modifier keys, etc. I suggest this be the first argument for all our handlers. Thoughts? - Richard
Updated droppables test page
I updated the droppables test page along with a couple fixes (rev2343,2345): <a href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/tests/drop.html">http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/tests/drop.html</a> I'm continuing as in drop.html and testing each option and each callback in the same order as they are documented. So far I've just done the two accept options (fn and string), but each test uses other options as well (activate, deactive, over, out, drop) to make it a little more interactive/demo-like.
Wanting to help
Hello jQuery Team, My name is Marshall Salinger and I am a front-end web developer. I am not a javascript guru by any means, but I have been using jQuery for a while now and I am very interested in helping with the jQuery UI project. I would be happy to do QA testing or anything that needs to be done. Thanks, Marshall
Shadows
<a href="http://www.sunsean.com/jQthemes/shadow.html">http://www.sunsean.com/jQthemes/shadow.html</a> Imageless shadows using sister elements. It would require some javascript for maintaining the height and widths, but that's ok. This type of shadow concept allows us to change it's color too. ~Sean
Many updates: widget architecture, mouse interaction
Hi guys! I have been quite busy the recent days, but seeing all that recent activity, I woke me up very early this morning and invested a couple of hours. Here are the results. 1. Plugin architecture I have added a global UI manager to the file ui.js, which is very easy to use, both for the users and the developers. Read the following paragraph: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide#Registering_plugins">http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide#Registering_plugins </a> Please make sure
uiBox
John, Yehuda, and I were talking about methods for creating the various DOM needed for theming. This is the solution we came up with: ## jQuery style [<span style="font-style: italic;">javascript</span>] <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> $("div.modal")</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> .uiBox({</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> top:'<span
Theme DOM
I've mode some notes on the DOM needed for freedom in styling. I suggest we write some jquery code to wrap elements with this DOM. (I'm already working on the wrappers for my testing) <span style="font-style: italic;"> <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>I would like to hear your feedback.</span> I chose <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><dl></span> because that aren't used very often so there will be less collision hopefully. Also I hope to have some mockups for the designs
[POLL] UI irc channel?
UI-ers, Paul and I had a quick im chat yesterday about my idea for optimizing the droppables intersection search. It occurred to me later that that kind of chat could take place on irc, but maybe best not in the main #jquery channel (similar to having this mailing list separate from main jquery). Any interest in a #jquery-ui irc channel? If we decide to have one, anything important discussed/decided there should still be posted on this list for those not present and/or archiving. Vote away. - Richard
Introduction and Draggables
Hi all. I'm Richard Worth. I started using jQuery a couple months ago and love it. I got up to speed very quickly and within days was able to even help others. This is a huge testament to what has been built here, both in terms of the project and the community (the best ever). Nicely done. I'm very interested in the new UI development work, both as a user and (hopefully) contributor of jQuery. I have been working for a month or two on a tree (nested UL-LI, beautifully sortable, like Ext's) as well
Droppables documentation and first bug fix
I put together some documentation for Droppables: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Droppables/droppable">http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Droppables/droppable</a> . I noticed the 'greedy' option as I was finishing, so there's a stub for that one, but that's it. The rest are as I understood them from the code and/or demo. I am still working on making the drop demo/test page more like the drag demo page, with a demo/test for each option. In the meantime I found that droppable.onActivate wasn't working.
Coding Style Guide & API Reference
Hi guys who work on jQuery UI, first off, it's great to have powerful forces moving the project in the right direction around me! To make the jQuery UI experience seemless and united, we all must to stick to a certain coding style. I will create a first version as a wiki page, which will hold information about Syntax, inline commenting, callbacks, chainability and a lot of tipps I discovered. Look at it here: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide">http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide</a>
Introduction and wish list :)
Most of you have all ready seen me on the main list as a contributor now and then. Unfortunately i have way to little time and way to much to do, and i think i am speaking on behalf of all of us when i say that i would like to clone myself a zillion times to do all things i would like to do. Anyway, i've made some contributions to the interface library in the past, mainly asking Stefan for the slider widget and i did a big fix on the selectables code. The reason i contacted Paul is that i wanted
Ahoy
Hey guys, An official UI for jQuery sounds like a great extension. I'd like to help. I'll start by taking a look at what you have in the SVN. Are you only considering the basic abilities (like sortables/ dragables)? Or are you also considering modal boxes, and overlays (like thickbox)? ~Sean
