Does anyone know if there is a option buried in Firefox to turn off validation per specific file? I like to use the Web Developer Toolbar to alert me if I have errors in my own javascript and css but when I use jQuery and the jQuery UI libraries it always gives me an error. I know that these are made to be cross browser compatible and will not validate but using these defeats the purpose of using the Web Developer toolbar. I have looked through all the options and can't seem to find anything.
Or does someone know of another nice add-in that will do what I want?
Thanks for the help!

Context: Trying to use jquery ui plugins (tabs and dialog) in a primefaces application directly from javascript (due to a certain requirement).
Problem: Getting 'length undefined' and 'undefined not a function' errors on the calls. More specifically, $("#id").tabs() is throwing the error.
What I did: search in stackoverflow; checked $.fn.* and $.ui.* in the console; surprisingly a lot of ui plugins are available (datepicker, droppable, selectable) but dialog and tabs seem to be missing. $.ui.version is 1.11.3. I tried using outputScript and directly <script> tags to include jquery ui, but none seemed to include these plugins; tried noConflict.
Additional info: It worked at some point intermittently.. not sure what caused it to work and what is preventing it from working now. Spent a lot of time troubleshooting this.
Advance thanks for your time and shall drop additional info if required.
PrimeFaces contains a customized (subset) of the jQuery-UI components. The others have to be added by you. And make sure you use them from a compatible version. Compatible with the jQuery version that PrimeFaces uses.
Including them should be done like you normally would include separate jquery-ui components or jquery-ui compatible ones by normally loading them via a javascript tag
I want a single online web page for my bookmarks. The page should include small windows which opens the following pages:
Fizy, Facebook, Guardian.
There should also be a button for adding a new window with an URL text input.
Here's an illustration of how the page should look: http://i54.tinypic.com/2hrkb48.jpg
I've built a version of this at http://bit.ly/heqEd1, but as you may see, it uses iframes under javascript windows, which can not open frame-breaking sites (like fizy.com), or Facebook.
I'll make the research and but I am not sure how to proceed. Any solution will be accepted, like HTML5, XUL, Flex, AJAX or others. A solution with a local installation(like a Firefox extension) is not preferred, but still be ok.
Note: Piro Sakura has built a Firefox extension called split-browser. There's an element of the project called "subbrowser". An AJAX window that can show a subbrowser MAY solve the problem. I know the page will only be available from Firefox, but that is ok. (Again, a solution without an installation is preferred)
Any suggestions? How should I proceed? What should I learn? Is this possible?
Thanks.
I think you should use a Javascript with iFrames to do this. I'm not too sure what you're trying to accomplish with this, but it should be possible. As for which framework you'll use, it's up to you, but there will be a lot of custom code needed to implement this.
You can make multiple draggable windows in FLEX same as you have in you app
Please check sample as Starting point Movable/Draggable window and its demo
also u knows JS-DESKTOP lib with little customization to achieve that one of them are
jsdesk
sonspring-JQuery based
also you can do this using
Hopes that helps
I've developing a Google chrome extension and I'm wondering what are the different options available to me when adding dialog boxes? I need something which has it's own head and body elements. Basically my Dialogs will be custom stlyed forms with some JQuery. What are the options available to me? I'm already aware of iframes but is there anything else available for this?
Chrome API doesn't provide any help with dialogs. So whatever you can do with a javascript (+jquery +plugins) is what you got, just like on a regular html page.
I want to implement with jQuery a tabbed interface for my website (like the firefox ones). They should also be able to be moved like the ones FireFox has.
If anyone knows of an already written library, please give me a link.
If you're already using jQuery, the jQuery UI Tabs has a sortable option for this.
Checkout the other demos for all the widgets there as well...in most cases it's not worth it to include the jQuery UI library for any 1 widget or effect...but if you can make use of a few of them, it's a nice library to work with. Of course there are alternatives out there, just throwing this as the simple/configurable option.
As a side note, it is jQuery UI....style it like you want.
ExtJS is more suitable for such interfaces. In the process of trying it out you will find many more amazing possibilities that it opens up. Also, it is very well written and a pleasure to work with.
I'm learning jQuery and am about to write some pages using intensively that library. I just learned that some user disable JavaScript on their browser (I didn't even know that was possible and/or necessary).
Now, here's my question: What happens to my web application if a user disable JavaScript? For instance, I'd like to display some screens using AJAX and commands such as 'InsertBefore' to bring in live a DIV that will display the result.
So, if JavaScript is disabled, I wonder what going to happen to all this work that relies on JavaScript?
I'm kind of lost.
Thanks for helping
You may want to start by reading on Progressive Enhancement and Unobtrusive JavaScript.
I would also suggest to investigate how popular rich web applications like GMail, Google Maps and others, handle these situations.
I just learned that some user disable javascript on their browser
I do. The "NoScript" plugin for FireFox does the trick.
So, if Javascript is disabled, I wonder what going to happen to all this work that relies on Javascript?
It won't be functional.
A good practice suggests designing a site not to rely on JavaScript for major functionality. At least, accessing its content (in read-mode) should be possible. JavaScipt should only add interface enhancements like Ajax techniques etc. But the fallback version should always work.
I feel really sad when I see a site which is completely broken without JavaScript. Why can't people use CSS to put elements in proper places? Why do they try to align elements with JavaScript even if there is no dynamics involved?
The same goes for Flash sites. Once in a while a land upon a "web-design-agency" site which makes picky comments about me not allowing JavaScript. When I do I only see a basic primitive site with a few menus and that's it. What was the point of using Flash when the work is so primitive it can be done with raw HTML and CSS in an hour? For me it's a sign of unprofessional work.
All what's done in JavaScript won't work. Some users disable it for security reasons, NoScript is an excellent example. You can try it yourself by removing the scripts from your page or installing the NoScript-plugin for Firefox.
As a rule of thumb:
Make the website working with only semantic HTML
add the CSS
add the JS
But the website should be (almost) fully functional in stage 1.
If you disable Javascript in Safari things like Lexulous in Facebook won't work properly, the mouse letter carry function doesn't work.
