I have spent the last few days trying to properly install the jQuery.AreYouSure? plugin with inconsistent results.
I decided to use this plugin based on information from this post: Warn user before leaving web page with unsaved changes. I've also read through the plugin's documentation on GitHub: jQueryAreYouSure
Here's what I've done:
I refresh the page.
I've been copying the code from the custom.js file into the console in chrome.
I make a change to the form
I either click on the refresh button or another site link to navigate away without saving.
My result: Sometimes I get the alert message but more times then not, I do not. I also cannot not replicate or understand when I do receive the alert. Sometimes it may come when I first click to leave page and at other times it may appear when I clicked around a few times.

I created javascripts/custom.js:

Removed turbolinks by removing
//= require turbolinks from the application.js file.
(Currently Jan 2018)
jquery.AreYouSure only works when the page is refreshed if turbolinks is active.

I'm using Skrollr-menu to animate down a page on a button press using the following
HTML
<div class="trigger-scroll left">></div>
... the page i want to reveal, using scrolling ...
<section id="End" class="scroll-here">
<div class="hsContainer bottom"></div>
</section>
JavaScript
var s = skrollr.init();
skrollr.menu.init(s, {
animate: true,
//How long the animation should take in ms.
duration: function(currentTop, targetTop) {
//By default, the duration is hardcoded at 500ms.
return 18000;
//But you could calculate a value based on the current scroll position (`currentTop`) and the target scroll position (`targetTop`).
//return Math.abs(currentTop - targetTop) * 10;
},
//This event is triggered right before we jump/animate to a new hash.
change: function(newHash, newTopPosition) {
//Do stuff
},
//Add hash link (e.g. `#foo`) to URL or not.
updateUrl: false //defaults to `true`.
});
What happens when I click the button is that it works, that is not the problem.
The problem is that it seems to change speed as skrollr-menu animates the page. It starts off quite quickly, which means that the first few elements on the page (about the first 2000px) flash past without being readable. Then the speed evens out and is fine right until the last 3000px (approximately) where skrollr-menu is very slow. What I want is for the click of the button to resemble holding the down arrow on the keyboard or the scroll sidebar, which by default it seems skrollr-menu does not do.
I've tried using math equations to change the speed but the issue persists no matter what i try, and there doesn't seem to be any "simple" way to change the acceleration speed, and I suspect the problem is somewhere within the Skrollr.menu.js file, but I can't see where.
Is there any way which I can make the scrolling an even speed, rather than fast at the start and slow at the end?
Note: I'm not very experienced in JavaScript or jQuery, so it's probably something simple I've overlooked.

It seems that, even though Skrollr states that easing's default is linear (no easing), the default is ACTUALLY set to sqrt (or at least it was in my case). The problem can be solved by forcing easing to linear in skrollr.menu.init, or chaning the skrollr.menu.js file to remove easing from the function. The first of these two solutions is cleaner, and won't cause issues later.
skrollr.menu.init(s, {
duration: function(currentTop, targetTop) {return 20000;},
easing: 'linear'
});
I want to make some adjustments (actually, fixes) to the Bootstrap 3 Button plugin, but I can't wait for the whole submit code/pull request/approval process. I also don't want to make any edits directly to the bootstrap.js file. I thought I could add another file called bootstrap-override.js which loads after bootstrap.js and contained another copy of the Buttons plugin code with my customizations, but this isn't working. The code from the original Buttons plugin fires.
What is the correct pattern for replacing an already defined plugin like this:

You need to remove the original Bootstrap button plugin's event handlers using jQuery.off(). You need to .off() each of the original button plugin's .on()s. Example:
$('document').off('click.bs.button.data-api focus.bs.button.data-api blur.bs.button.data-api');
I've got a file which needs to run on page load (randomise_colors.js), but also needs to be called by another file as part of a callback function (in infinite_scroll.js). The randomise_colors script just loops through a list of posts on the page and assigns each one a color from an array which is used on the front-end.
Infinite Scroll loads new posts in to the DOM on a button click, but because the randomise_colors.js file has already ran on page load, new content loaded is not affected by this so I need it to run again. I'm open to other suggestions if it sounds like I could be tackling the problem in a different way, I'm no JS expert.
Currently I'm getting Uncaught ReferenceError: randomise_colours is not defined referring this line of infinite_scroll.js:
randomise_colours.init();
I'm calling all files that need be loaded on document.ready in app.js
require(['base/randomise-colours', 'base/infinite-scroll'],
function(randomise_colours, infinite_scroll) {
var $ = jQuery;
$(document).ready(function() {
infinite_scroll.init();
randomise_colours.init();
});
}
);
This is infinite_scroll.js which initialises Infinite Scroll and features the callback. The callback function runs whenever new items are loaded in via AJAX using the Infinite Scroll jQuery plugin. I've put asterix around the area where I need to run the randomise_colors.init() function from randomise_colors.js.
define(['infinitescroll'], function() {
var $ = jQuery,
$loadMore = $('.load-more-posts a');
function addClasses() {
**randomise_colours.init();**
};
return {
init: function() {
if($loadMore.length >= 1) {
this.setUp();
} else {
return false;
}
},
setUp: function() {
this.initInfiniteScroll();
},
initInfiniteScroll: function() {
$('.article-listing').infinitescroll({
navSelector : '.load-more-posts',
nextSelector : '.load-more-posts a',
itemSelector : '.standard-post'
}, function(newItems) {
addClasses();
});
//Unbind the standard scroll-load function
$(window).unbind('.infscr');
//Click handler to retrieve new posts
$loadMore.on('click', function() {
$('.article-listing').infinitescroll('retrieve');
return false;
});
}
};
});
And this is my randomise_colors.js file which runs fine on load, but needs to be re-called again after new content has loaded in.
define([], function() {
var $ = jQuery,
$colouredSlide = $('.image-overlay'),
colours = ['#e4cba3', '#867d75', '#e1ecb9', '#f5f08a'],
used = [];
function pickRandomColour() {
if(colours.length == 0) {
colours.push.apply(colours, used);
used = [];
}
var selected = colours[Math.floor(Math.random() * colours.length)];
var getSelectedIndex = colours.indexOf(selected);
colours.splice(getSelectedIndex, 1);
used.push(selected);
return selected;
};
return {
init: function() {
if($colouredSlide.length >= 1) {
this.setUp();
} else {
return false;
}
},
setUp: function() {
this.randomiseColours();
},
randomiseColours: function() {
console.log('randomise');
$colouredSlide.each(function() {
var newColour = pickRandomColour();
$(this).css('background', newColour);
});
}
};
});
You would have to reference randomiseColours inside the infiniteScroll file. So you need to change your define function to the following:
define(['infinitescroll', 'randomise-colours'], function(infiniteScroll, randomise_colours)
Remember that when using require you need to reference all variables through the define function, otherwise they will not be recognised.
I found myself reading the same questions over and over, so I wanted a way to hide questions.
I have a script to does what is suppose to do, however it cripples existing javascript, such as the upvote button and adding tags when asking questions. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to fix it?
Edit: oh, in the error console I am getting:

Never inject JS if you don't have to, and never use the page's jQuery in FF GM -- that's the main source of errors in this case.
The entire script should be:

}
function removeQuestion (e)
{
var id = getId(e.data.questionSummaryDiv.id);
$(e.data.questionSummaryDiv).hide(250);
idList.push(id);
setTimeout(function() {

return false;
}
$('div.question-summary').each(function (index, questionSummaryDiv)

if (idList.indexOf(id) != -1)

return;

var link = $('<a><em>(Too Stupid)</em></a>');
link.attr('href', '#' + questionSummaryDiv.id);
link.click({questionSummaryDiv: questionSummaryDiv}, removeQuestion);
$('div.started', questionSummaryDiv).append(link);
});
That script attempts to include jQuery first thing:
(function()

This issue there is that jQuery is guaranteed to be loaded on Stack Overflow to begin with...if it's not present you have much bigger issues. That whole jQuery replacement shouldn't happen, as it's both impacting already registered plugins (nuking then) and using a newer version of jQuery that Stack Exchange currently does, meaning other potentially breaking changes as well.
Since the script needs none of the latest functionality, that entire chunk above should simply be:
GM_wait();
For the other issues, there are a few more $ conflicts...but you still want to be safe with respect to load order here. Here's a cheaper and still safe version that...well, works:
var idListString = GM_getValue('idList', '');
var idList = idListString.split(',');
GM_setValue('idList', idList.join(','));
GM_wait();
function GM_wait() {
if (typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined') {
window.setTimeout(GM_wait, 100);
return;
}
unsafeWindow.jQuery(function($) {
var link = $('<em>(Too Stupid)</em>').click(removeQuestion);
$('div.question-summary').each(function (index, questionSummaryDiv) {
var id = getId(questionSummaryDiv.id);
if (idList.indexOf(id) != -1) {
$(questionSummaryDiv).hide();
} else {
$('div.started', questionSummaryDiv).append(link.clone(true));
}
});
});
}
function getId (idString) {
return idString.split('-')[2];
}
function removeQuestion () {
var q = unsafeWindow.jQuery(this).closest("div.question-summary").hide(250);
idList.push(getId(q.attr("id")));
setTimeout(function() {
GM_setValue('idList', idList.join(','));
}, 0);
return false;
}
I'm trying to build a Javascript listener for a small page that uses AJAX to load content based on the anchor in the URL. Looking online, I found and modified a script that uses setInterval() to do this and so far it works fine. However, I have other jQuery elements in the $(document).ready() for special effects for the menus and content. If I use setInterval() no other jQuery effects work. I finagled a way to get it work by including the jQuery effects in the loop for setInterval() like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
var pageScripts = function() {
pageEffects();
pageURL();
}
window.setInterval(pageScripts, 500);
});
var currentAnchor = null;
function pageEffects() {
// Popup Menus
$(".bannerMenu").hover(function() {
$(this).find("ul.bannerSubmenu").slideDown(300).show;
}, function() {
$(this).find("ul.bannerSubmenu").slideUp(400);
});
$(".panel").hover(function() {
$(this).find(".panelContent").fadeIn(200);
}, function() {
$(this).find(".panelContent").fadeOut(300);
});
// REL Links Control
$("a[rel='_blank']").click(function() {
this.target = "_blank";
});
$("a[rel='share']").click(function(event) {
var share_url = $(this).attr("href");
window.open(share_url, "Share", "width=768, height=450");
event.preventDefault();
});
}
function pageURL() {
if (currentAnchor != document.location.hash) {
currentAnchor = document.location.hash;
if (!currentAnchor) {
query = "section=home";
} else {
var splits = currentAnchor.substring(1).split("&");
var section = splits[0];
delete splits[0];
var params = splits.join("&");
var query = "section=" + section + params;
}
$.get("loader.php", query, function(data) {
$("#load").fadeIn("fast");
$("#content").fadeOut(100).html(data).fadeIn(500);
$("#load").fadeOut("fast");
});
}
}
This works fine for a while but after a few minutes of the page being loaded, it drags to a near stop in IE and Firefox. I checked the FF Error Console and it comes back with an error "Too many Recursions." Chrome seems to not care and the page continues to run more or less normally despite the amount of time it's been open.
It would seem to me that the pageEffects() call is causing the issue with the recursion, however, any attempts to move it out of the loop breaks them and they cease to work as soon as setInterval makes it first loop.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I am guessing that the pageEffects need added to the pageURL content.
At the very least this should be more efficient and prevent duplicate handlers
$(document).ready(function() {
pageEffects($('body'));
(function(){
pageURL();
window.setTimeout(arguments.callee, 500);
})();
});
var currentAnchor = null;
function pageEffects(parent) {
// Popup Menus
parent.find(".bannerMenu").each(function() {
$(this).unbind('mouseenter mouseleave');
var proxy = {
subMenu: $(this).find("ul.bannerSubmenu"),
handlerIn: function() {
this.subMenu.slideDown(300).show();
},
handlerOut: function() {
this.subMenu.slideUp(400).hide();
}
};
$(this).hover(proxy.handlerIn, proxy.handlerOut);
});
parent.find(".panel").each(function() {
$(this).unbind('mouseenter mouseleave');
var proxy = {
content: panel.find(".panelContent"),
handlerIn: function() {
this.content.fadeIn(200).show();
},
handlerOut: function() {
this.content.slideUp(400).hide();
}
};
$(this).hover(proxy.handlerIn, proxy.handlerOut);
});
// REL Links Control
parent.find("a[rel='_blank']").each(function() {
$(this).target = "_blank";
});
parent.find("a[rel='share']").click(function(event) {
var share_url = $(this).attr("href");
window.open(share_url, "Share", "width=768, height=450");
event.preventDefault();
});
}
function pageURL() {
if (currentAnchor != document.location.hash) {
currentAnchor = document.location.hash;
if (!currentAnchor) {
query = "section=home";
} else {
var splits = currentAnchor.substring(1).split("&");
var section = splits[0];
delete splits[0];
var params = splits.join("&");
var query = "section=" + section + params;
}
var content = $("#content");
$.get("loader.php", query, function(data) {
$("#load").fadeIn("fast");
content.fadeOut(100).html(data).fadeIn(500);
$("#load").fadeOut("fast");
});
pageEffects(content);
}
}
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a few of them and they still did not lead to the desirable effects. After some cautious testing, I found out what was happening. With jQuery (and presumably Javascript as a whole), whenever an AJAX callback is made, the elements brought in through the callback are not binded to what was originally binded in the document, they must be rebinded. You can either do this by recalling all the jQuery events on a successful callback or by using the .live() event in jQuery's library. I opted for .live() and it works like a charm now and no more recursive errors :D.
$(document).ready(function() {
// Popup Menus
$(".bannerMenu").live("hover", function(event) {
if (event.type == "mouseover") {
$(this).find("ul.bannerSubmenu").slideDown(300);
} else {
$(this).find("ul.bannerSubmenu").slideUp(400);
}
});
// Rollover Content
$(".panel").live("hover", function(event) {
if (event.type == "mouseover") {
$(this).find(".panelContent").fadeIn(200);
} else {
$(this).find(".panelContent").fadeOut(300);
}
});
// HREF Events
$("a[rel='_blank']").live("click", function(event) {
var target = $(this).attr("href");
window.open(target, "_blank");
event.preventDefault();
});
$("a[rel='share']").live("click", function(event) {
var share_url = $(this).attr("href");
window.open(share_url, "Share", "width=768, height=450");
event.preventDefault();
});
setInterval("checkAnchor()", 500);
});
var currentAnchor = null;
function checkAnchor() {
if (currentAnchor != document.location.hash) {
currentAnchor = document.location.hash;
if (!currentAnchor) {
query = "section=home";
} else {
var splits = currentAnchor.substring(1).split("&");
var section = splits[0];
delete splits[0];
var params = splits.join("&");
var query = "section=" + section + params;
}
$.get("loader.php", query, function(data) {
$("#load").fadeIn(200);
$("#content").fadeOut(200).html(data).fadeIn(200);
$("#load").fadeOut(200);
});
}
}
Anywho, the page works as intended even in IE (which I rarely check for compatibility). Hopefully, some other newb will learn from my mistakes :p.
