I'm new to Ajax and was told need to use it for what I'm trying to accomplish here.
Here is the website... http://modocom.ca/gillons
If you scroll down up will see a section called Find an Office with drop down menu in it. What I need is for when someone click on for example Emo in the dropdown menu the location info from.... http://modocom.ca/gillons/emo goes under the dropdown and so on for each location in the dropdown and also when your on the Emo page for example you click on the dropdown menu and can choose different location and get new info as well for selected location.
Hope that makes sense and hopefully someone could give me a hand.
Thanks,
Mike
OK, I'm not going to write code as it looks as though you haven't actually tried anything yourself yet.
However, the sequence of events, one version of them anyway, might look like this.
Using jQuery, put a change event on your dropdown.
When the event triggers, and this depends on your backend as you have not spcified APS.Net, MNV, Java etc, you need to post back to a code file of some sort and pass in the value within the dropdown.
From there, in your c#, java, pythod, whatever, code, take that value, generate some HTML and return that HTML to the client.
At the client, you accept the HTML and fill say a DIV with the returned HTML.
If you are using MVC, you can return a PartialView which is a better design.

I have an HTML page that has an option for drag-n-drop and a "Preview" button. I want to call a function on the click event of that button, which will fetch all the files that are dragged onto the page. When I press this button, it opens a <px-modal> (a popup which displays some data), and it has a dropdown (<paper-dropdown> and <paper-item>), which should display the filename fetched earlier.
So I have the data, but I don't know how to store it or display it as dropdown content.
I have tried the <template> tag, but it fires on page-load when I need it to fire after the files are dropped onto the page. Otherwise, the data is null.
How do I solve this?
Without some code to look at, it's hard to help you but in general, my advice will be to use a service to store your data and all your directive/controller that needs to have access to the data should havce a dependency on this service.
Have a look at option 1 on this answer

I'm creating a webform using a marketing automation platform. I want to add a field that functions with jquery to do an autocomplete. Unfortunately, the forms are generated through a WYSIWYG editor in the software, and then generated and put into the page when it renders. The only code for the form that appears in the HTML for the page is a simple variable placeholder - %%FORM::DEFINITION%% - which is then replaced with the form code when you visit the URL. The software support team tells me that making the change I want to make is impossible, which I see as a challenge.
The only thing I need to be able to do is add an id="autocomplete-dynamic" attribute to the input on the form. I had two ideas how I could achieve this.
The first, and most preferable option, would be some script that runs at the bottom of the page that simply inserts the attribute into the input tag after the page renders out. This would only be a client-side change, but since all this does is make the text field capable of looking up values out of another table, it should be fine. If someone had a script blocker in place, they would not be prevented from typing into the text field normally, it's just that the auto-lookup wouldn't work. We're trying to make it easier to select an item from a list of thousands of possibilities, but if someone had to type in their own entry without the autocomplete, it would not be a disaster. This seems like a clean solution, but I am not sure if it can be done.
The other possibility is to get the form code out of the software and embed it in a separate HTML document, and make the change there. You can extract the raw HTML for the form for use on another page, but pasting this code right back into the landing page causes errors. So, the thought then was that if I have taken the code generated by the software and put it in an HTML page on a separate web server, I could modify it as needed, and then turn around and use an iframe to stick it right back in the landing page. The software shouldn't complain because the form is being used on an external site like it's supposed to be... I have just hidden that external site back inside the platform-hosted page.
Option 1 would still be much easier to implement, I think, provided it is actually possible.
Thanks in advance.
Your first solution seems completely appropriate.
$(function() {
$('#myForm input').attr('id', 'autocomplete-dynamic');
});
This can be added anywhere inside a script tag because it's wrapped in a shorthand document.ready function, which waits to run until the DOM is ready.
I'll try and ask this as accurate as possible as I don't exactly understand my assignment.
Basically we had to create 3 HTML controls or JS controls and for each control we had to add an event handler that'd read something from a control and show it in a DIV.
Now my question is, how can I save the information shown in that DIV. I really don't understand how to do this. To be more specific, when I close the Build and re-open it after typing something in a textbox that would for example then give me the info from the textbox in a DIV, i'd want to see the same information I typed earlier in the Div again.
Thanks in advance!
I am trying to set up a menu selection similar to what Mercedes-Benz Canada has when you choose a car and there is more then one body option. (http://www.mercedes-benz.ca/content/canada/mpc/mpc_canada_website/en/home_mpc/passengercars.flash.skipintro.html).
I have created it on here http://jsfiddle.net/sofew/db2BF/3/ I would like to hover over the coupe title and the info and pictures would change to the coupes list item.
I have tried various forms of jquery but I can not seem to have it work the way I am hoping. Can someone can point me in the right direction.
If you want a menu to appear based on the element you are hovering over you'll need to use AJAX. You can use the load() method in jQuery to fill a selected element with the returned value of an AJAX query.
What this means is that you only need a single hidden element, and when the onhover event is fired the div is cleared, populated with AJAX data and then displayed. You will just need to pass either an ID or the name of the vehicle to the method which accepts the AJAX query so that it can return the pertinent data.
If you specify your server side language I might be able to give you a more concrete example if you are unfamiliar with AJAX calls.
EDIT:
Ajax is really easy to do! All Ajax does is make a call to a function on your web server, and then take the result of that call and put it somewhere on your page without having to reload the page itself. If you're on Linux and using PHP then let's imagine you want to display the current server time on your page. You could make a function like this...
public function WhatTimeIsIt()
{
return time();
}
And then create a div on your page with the id "time". Then all you need to do is in your jQuery, use the following call:
[event handler] {
$('#time').load([path to the WhatTimeIsIt() function]);
}
And when ever that given event handler is fired, your time div will update to contain the current server time. A bit of a trivial example, but if you created a function which took a car ID as a parameter, got all the information on the car and formatted it into nice HTML and returned that, you'd have your solution.
I made a demo of something you can use: http://jsfiddle.net/DFXZn/22/.
I recommend using $.ajax to grab the content. Visit here to learn about ajax calls: http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/. Let me know if this helps. Happy coding!
I have a column that has 2 Categories, Done and Pending. I would like to Hide/Disable edit button once the user selects an item and if that item has a Status column of "Pending".
I would like to know how can this be done, whether in visual studio 2010 or ECMA Scripts.
I know this question is old but if someone still needs the answer:
Create a custom action in visual studio like this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff408060(v=office.14).aspx
This hides the button you want, now you can set a condition via enabledscript parameter to choose in which case the button should be hidden:
Just add this code after </CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler
Command="HideEditRibbon"
CommandAction="javascript:return true;" EnabledScript="javascript:checkIfNeedsToBeHidden();" />
</CommandUIHandlers>
<CustomAction Id="yourJsReference" Location="ScriptLink" ScriptSrc="yourJsFile.js"></CustomAction>
If you need this in List-Ribbon, Edit and DisplayForm, you need to make 3 Custom Actions and change the Location-Part and maybe your js-code.
If you want to use an out of the box edit form then you're not going to do this with server side code; you'd need an entirely custom edit form to do that.
This means using Javascript on the edit page, which is fragile, and doesn't prevent users from saving the data if they know what they're doing.
The input field for every column will have a 'title' attribute with the column name. JQuery can find the element with title='column name' rather easily, so that's how you'll know if you need to hide the save button. The save button isn't quite as easy to get to. You could try getting the input with type=button and value=save.
If it's important to have actual security around this, so that no matter what someone can't edit an item in this state then you can use an event receiver on the ItemUpdating event. Just check the properties of the item and use the properties.Cancel = true; (or something like that) so that even if they disable your JavaScript and save the event anyway, it won't get saved. If you need help adding an event receiver or getting it working just ask.
Edit: In your comment that you say you just want to prevent access to the edit form entirely under certain conditions. For that, I'd make a new webpart/user control and add it to the edit page. In that section you can fetch the appropriate item (the ID of the item will be a query parameter) and see if the page should be 'viewable'. If not, then you can redirect to another page.
Another addition to the above would be attempting to edit the list view such that there is no edit link for certain items. This would be substantially harder, and I doubt it would even be possible (practically) with out of the box webparts. You would need to have an entirely custom list view page in order to control which items have links to an edit page. (Others feel free to correct me here.)
