I have tried to find some custom alert boxes , which don't use some libs like: jQuery, Prototype etc.. I want to get plain sample, which has rich UI as jQuery but doesn't use it.
I have tried to google, but have found an army of jQuery samples... I don't need it. Maybe you have links on websites with the plain js samples, which don't use some libs?
Because I want to get plain samples with rich UI, which are not based on libs like: jQuery, Prototype.js, Enyo etc
Thank you!
I think these links wil help you:

It's not very difficult. Basically all you've got to do is append both something to cover the whole screen and something to show the content to the body and position them correctly and attach event listeners to the right elements to remove it at the right time. All (well, most) of the positioning and styling can be done with CSS. For example, to position the thing to cover the whole screen, you could use this CSS:
position: fixed;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
You might even want to make it a little translucent so it's easier to tell that the dialog is modal:
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
Try out a little example.

Sorry about this absolutely newbie question, but I've been searching for an already similar post, and couldn't find it.
My question is:
I have a paragraph text in my HTML code which I want to automatically change into a new text once I click a specific Button.
Can this be done with CSS only, without any javascript?
Since some users block javascript, that's why I was looking for a way around...
Thanks a lot.
actually #Vaidya & #Preet it is possible via css only :
https://css-tricks.com/swapping-out-text-five-different-ways/
#fana you'll need to use a plus selector or tilde selector to make the changes affect the following div not itself but other than that you're good to go.
I can see that using css to replace content is strongly discouraged within the stackoverflow community. However I haven't found another cause other then that of code cleanliness.
I really think in coming years the true potential of CSS/SASS will unravel and people will cease to see the programmatic/dynamic as strictly excluded from CSS/SASS.
It can't be done through CSS You must need to add a script for an on-click event.
I know it is not what you exactly want but it can give you idea about it and with some changes you can make it.(but conditional and on click event using css is definitely not possible, you need javascript for that)
If you can make it work on Text click itself then it is easily possible. You only need a checkbox which is hidden and label in which you will show text. On click of text you can swap into anther text with only css:
#example {
position: relative;
}
#example-checkbox {
display: none;
}
#example-checkbox:checked + #example:after {
content: "Hide";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: white;
}
<input id="example-checkbox" type="checkbox">
<label for="example-checkbox" id="example">Show</label>

Hope it will help you.
So I found a really cool web structure I'd like to implement into one of my sites on http://www.nextendweb.com/demo/smartslider2/. There are settings gearboxes that rotate as the user scrolls down the page.
It's being done using the Transform: Matrix function. I would post a code-block of the element but I can't seem to locate the JS behind it. This is not my site, so I obviously only have access to the front-end.
HTML
<div class="cog cog2" style="transform: matrix(-0.68823, 0.72548, -0.72548, -0.68823, 0, 0);"></div>
CSS
#technicaldetails .cog {
background: url(images/bigcog.png) no-repeat 0 0;
width: 502px;
height: 476px;
position: absolute;
}
the element in question is located in a div with Id's cog1 & cog2 if you're having trouble locating it on the web page.
could anyone guide me in finding the JS behind this element from the front-end? I tried inspecting and looking through the sources...
The site uses a JavaScript plugin called "TweenMax" from http://www.greensock.com, which is part of their "GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP)" product.
The usage is simple. For example:
TweenMax.to("#technicaldetails .cog2",1,{rotation:"-=20"});
perhaps this website would be useful: http://croberts.me/2013/02/16/howto-rotating-gears-when-user-scrolls/
theres js, html and a codepen example
What I do when I want to find a behaivior or a style in a site is look for the ID or class name in all the javascripts and CSSs. In this case, you can find that the .cog class is being used in the scripts.js file, in which they use the TweenMax plugin to update the cog's rotation. Check that plugin too.
It seems that this is a new feature in JQuery UI 1.9.0, because I used JQuery UI plenty of times before and this text never poped up.
Couldn't find anything related on the API documentation.
So using an basic autocomplete example with local source
$( "#find-subj" ).autocomplete({
source: availableTags
});
When the search matches it shows this related helper text:
'1 result is available, use up and down arrow keys to navigate.'
How can I disable it in a nice way, not by removing it with JQuery selectors.
I know this has been asnwered but just wanted to give an implementation example:
var availableTags = [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp",
"BASIC",
"C",
"C++"
];
$("#find-subj").autocomplete({
source: availableTags,
messages: {
noResults: 'no results',
results: function(amount) {
return amount + 'results.'
}
}
});
This is used for accessibility, an easy way to hide it is with CSS:
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible { display:none; }
Or (see Daniel's comment bellow)
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible { position: absolute; left:-999em; }
The top answer here achieves the desired visual effect, but defeats the object of jQuery having ARIA support, and is a bit dickish to users who rely upon it! Those who've mentioned that jQuery CSS hides this for you are correct, and this is the style which does that:
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible {
border: 0;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
}
Copy that into your stylesheet instead of removing the message, please :).
According to this blog:
We now use ARIA live regions to announce when results become available
and how to navigate through the list of suggestions. The announcements
can be configured via the messages option, which has two properties:
noResults for when no items are returned and results for when at least
one item is returned. In general, you would only need to change these
options if you want the string to be written in a different language.
The messages option is subject to change in future versions while we
work on a full solution for string manipulation and
internationalization across all plugins. If you’re interested in the
messages option, we encourage you to just read the source; the
relevant code is at the very bottom of the autocomplete plugin and is
only a few lines.
...
So how does this apply to the autocomplete widget? Well, now when you
search for an item, if you have a screen reader installed it will read
you something like “1 result is available, use up and down arrow keys
to navigate.”. Pretty cool, huh?
So if you go to github and look at the autocomplete source code, around line 571 you'll see where this is actually implemented.
Adding the jquery css also worked to remove the instructional text.
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
Since this is in there for accessibility reasons it's probably best to hide it with CSS.
However, I would suggest:
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible { position: absolute; left: -9999px; }
Rather than:
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible { display:none; }
As the former will hide the item off-screen, but still allow screen-readers to read it, whereas display:none does not.
Well, this question is a bit older, but the text does not show up at all when you include the according css file:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.0/themes/YOUR_THEME_HERE/jquery-ui.css" />
Of course you have to insert an actual theme instead of YOUR_THEME_HERE e.g. "smoothness"
Style it how the jQuery theme itself styles it. A lot of the other answers suggest including a whole stylesheet, but if you just want the relevant CSS, this is how it's done in http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css:
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible {
position: absolute !important;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px);
clip: rect(1px,1px,1px,1px);
}
The jQuery CSS .ui-helper-hidden-accessible is in the themes/base/core.css file. You should include this file (at a minimum) in your stylesheets for forward compatibility.
Adding this code right after the autocomplete in your script will push the annoying helper off the page, but the people using screen readers will still benefit from it:
$(document).ready(function() { //pushing the autocomplete helper out of the visible page
$(".ui-helper-hidden-accessible").css({"position": "absolute", "left":"-999em"}) //{"display","none"} will remove the element from the page
});
I'm not a fan of manipulating CSS with JS but in this case I think it makes sense. The JS code created the problem in the first place, and the problem will be solved a few lines below in the same file. IMO this is better than solving the problem in a separate CSS file which might be edited by other people who don't know why the .ui-helper-hidden-accessible class was modified that way.
Currently I'm working on a website where I'd like to show some toolstips for specific DIV elements. My weapon of choice is jQuery Tools.
So when I use $(".toolTipMe").tooltip(); it works quite nice. As soon as I hover the element a new DIV appears in the DOM:
<div class="tooltip" style="display: none; position: absolute; top: 313.65px; left: 798.5px;">foo</div>
However the design is done by our very own css-monster (you should this this guy!) and he's using a a lot of z-indexes so the .tooltip-DIV is behind the other elements.
Now the question:
The following code in our .css File is not having any effect:
.tooltip{
z-index: 9001;
}
In fact the attribute is not even showing up when debugging the website. But the following will work:
$(".toolTipMe").tooltip({
onShow: function(){
$(this).css("z-index","9001");
}
});
I'm not sure how CSS Rules are applied for dynamic inserted DOM Elements but what I really detest in the current workaround is the mixture of functionality and style. Any chance to clean up this mess? :C
I am not familiar with jquery tools, but if your z-index is not working you must need a !important tag or making it position:relative or position:absolute
In jquery tools tooltip you need to specify the z-index inside the tooltip constructor like:
$(".toolTipMe").tooltip({ z-index: '9001'});
I'm not sure if it is z-index or zindex.. check it out
I'm doing something that involves ajax auto-completion of phrases in a <textarea>. I've got this working well using the jquery autocomplete plugin; however, it is hard-coded into this to position the popup below the <textarea>.
For what I'm working on, the <textarea> is at the bottom of the page; I ideally want the options to appear above the <textarea>.
Is there a similar existing (and half-decent) autocomplete script that would allow this? My other options are:
try to reposition it after-the-fact using more jquery
hack the plugin code to pieces to reposition it
write something from scratch (sounds simple, but there are a few nuances in a decent autocomplete)
Suggestions?
For info, here's what I ended up with:
#known-parent .ac_results
{
position: fixed !important;
top: auto !important;
bottom: 80px !important;
}
It's not the cleanest solution in the world, but you can overwrite the style properties that the autocomplete plugin writes by using "!important" in your css.
Styles belong in CSS as much as possible anyways.
If I remember correctly, the plugin sets the "top" value in the "style" attribute of the autosuggest div.
In your css you should be able to just do:
#whatever_the_id_of_the_box_is {
position: absolute !important;
top: {{ whatever value you want here }} !important;
}
Can you change the CSS of the popup and assign negative values to margin-top? That should move the content to the top, but your results will look a little weird as the relevant values will be on the top.
Wouldn't it also be possible to edit the autocomplete plugin to edit the style of the container and move the location of the box? I don't think it would be too difficult, but I haven't seen that plugin in a while.
<div style="display: none; position: absolute; width: 151px; top: 21px; left: 91.65px;" class="ac_results"></div>
You'd need to adjust this in the plugin code.
Edit: I actually wouldn't recommend this. There should be a way to reverse the result order in the UI plugin. Do that, and change the style values, and you should have a clean looking result set. I'll add the exact code when I get a chance
