Jquery dialog resizing only happens the first time it's opened - javascript

I have this code for a JQuery a dialog for a div containing a gridview that loads with a lists of tasks. The dialog fits to the contents OK, but if hundreds of tasks are loaded the dialog gets too big and can't be resized by hand, so I needed to code a way for it to open with a manageable size.
Before anyone suggests it, I tried setting the max-height property on my div to 500px and that worked fine except the div wouldn't fill the whole dialog if the dialog got higher than 500px, which we want it to. I also tried setting the maxHeight property on the dialog directly but that only takes effect when you resize the dialog by hand, not when the dialog opens. And when the dialog opens bigger than the screen that can't be done.
So instead I wrote this code which declares the dialog, then if more than 20 tasks are loaded the dialog is supposed to be resized to 500px high. That way the div inside fills the dialog completely at all times and the dialog size stays managable.
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
//On crée le dialog à partir de la même div
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0,
title: 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title
});
//if more than 20 refered tasks are found
if (taskCount > 20) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'height', 500);
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'position', 'center');
}
}
This code is called from a button in each line of a parent gridview, loading each line's tasks.
Here is what happens when I refresh my page and flush the cache (ctrl+F5), then open some task lists.
If I open one list of tasks containing more than 20 tasks (a dialog that will need to be refreshed), it works fine.
If I open any list of tasks, even one with less than 20 tasks that doesn't need resizing, then close it, and open one with more than 20 tasks, the dialog opens and the gridview is filled perfectly but the resizing doesn't work, the dialog is too big to fit on the screen, and can't be resized by hand.
Basically the resize part of my code only works on the first dialog I open after refreshing my page and flushing the cache. I think something must be kept in memory after the first time a dialog is opened, but I'm a newbie with JQuery and JS in general and I can't find the answer.
<div id="litReferedTasks" style="background-color: White; display: none; overflow:auto; height:95%;">
<asp:GridView ID="gvReferedTasks" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gvReferedTasks_RowDataBound" Width="97.5%" Visible="false">
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Label ID="lblNoReferedTasks" runat="server" Visible="false" Width="100%"></asp:Label>
</div>
Any help?

Okay, so if you set the option after the dialog has been opened, height may not have an effect, but if you put height into the initial dialog creation code, it should have a set height just fine:
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
var dialogOptions = {
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0,
title: 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title
};
//if more than 20 refered tasks are found
if (taskCount > 20) {
dialogOptions.height = 500
}
//On crée le dialog à partir de la même div
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog(dialogOptions);
}

I think you are over-complicating the .dialog function. The easiest thing to do is create the dialog once with autoOpen set to false, rather than trying to re-initialize it every time. I think you'd have better luck with something like this:
// Do this once when the document is ready
$(function() {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0
});
});
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'title', 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title);
if (taskCount > 20) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', {
height: 500,
position: 'center'
});
}
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('open');
}

Accessing the TitleBar close event from a grid button

I am launching a shieldwindow from shield Tree View.
The shieldwindow has a single ‘close’ button on the TitleBar as per code below:
var dbwindow = $("#mapworkpanel").shieldWindow({
width: "60%",
height: "100%",
appendToBody:false,
draggable: false,
position: { left: 700, top: 0 },
title: "Dictionary Definitions",
titleBarButtons: [ 'close' ],
events: {
close: function(e) {
//
}
},
content: {
remote: {
url:thisurl,
iframe: true,
}
},
modal: false,
}).swidget();
The URL launches a shield UI grid with a few buttons including a Close Button.
When I click the “x” button on the Titlebar the form closes with no issues.
How can I access the TitleBar close button from the Close Button on the grid?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Mario
Hopefully I'm understanding your question correctly, but I'm not sure why you need access to the actual title bar's close button. In the case you're just looking to close the window an additional way, there's an API function in the Shield Window widget for that. Assuming your dbwindow reference is available, you should just be able to call dbwindow.close() in the event handler for your grid's close button.

Unable to remove scroll in kendowindow

everyone
I have a popup that opened when click button from another popup. When the popup open it has scroll bar that I don't expect it appear.
var win = $("#q-exp-add-edit-window").kendoWindow({
draggable: false,
visible: false,
modal: true,
//position: {
// top: 5,
// left: 8
//},
resizable: false,
}).data("kendoWindow");
//Set the Window Title
win.title("Entry Notes");
//Set the Window Width & Height
$("#q-exp-add-edit-window").css("width", "870");
$("#q-exp-add-edit-window").css("height", "460");
$("#q-exp-add-edit-window").html("");
win.refresh({
url: ExpensesEditGrid.urlAddEditNote + params,
iframe: true
});
//Center & Open the Window
win.center();
win.open();
Here is image:
Many thanks for help .
Decrease the inner table height and width,
so that only inner table will fit and get scrolls inside model.
check the model height and width (or try to assign)
and change the following lines, less than models size.
$("#q-exp-add-edit-window").css("width", "870");
$("#q-exp-add-edit-window").css("height", "460");

Google Chrome packaged app window

I'm creating a Chrome packaged app that has two pages [for now]. And by pages a mean actual .html files. One is called login.html and the another is index.html.
Now everything related to the user is stored in chrome.storage.local.
Here is the code for launching the pages in chrome.js.
chrome.app.runtime.onLaunched.addListener(function () {
var dimensions = getDimensions(screen),
positions = getPositions(screen);
chrome.storage.local.get('login', function (result) {
if(result.login.status === "loggedOut") {
chrome.app.window.create('login.html', {
id: 'loginWindow',
'bounds': {
'width': 400,
'height': 600
},
minWidth: 400,
minHeight: 600,
maxWidth: 400,
maxHeight: 600,
frame: 'none'
});
} else {
chrome.app.window.create('index.html', {
id: 'mainWindow',
'bounds': {
'top': positions.top,
'left': positions.left,
'width': dimensions.width,
'height': dimensions.height
},
minWidth: dimensions.width,
minHeight: dimensions.height,
maxWidth: dimensions.width,
maxHeight: dimensions.height,
frame: 'none'
});
}
});
});
Now because chrome.storage.local.get login.status === loggedOut it pops the login page with the login form. So how do I proceed when the user puts the correct credentials. How do I close the login window and then open the main. The code above is just to open the index.html next time and not showing the login again.
I have done the code to check the credentials and that works, but I want to now close the login form window and open a new index.html with the same bounds, max-, minwidths and heights as you can see in the code above.
Here is what I'm looking for: [this is now in login.js which is called inside login.html]
if(login === success) {
// close login window and goto mainWindow
} else {
// Username or password is wrong
}
Thanks in advance!
What you have to do to accomplish this is to add this tho check if changes happen inside the chrome.storage.local.
chrome.storage.onChanged.addListener(function(changes, namespace) {
chrome.storage.local.get('login', function (result) {
if (result.login.status === "loggedIn") {
chrome.app.window.get('loginWindow').close();
chrome.app.window.create('index.html', {
id: 'mainWindow',
'bounds': {
'top': positions.top,
'left': positions.left,
'width': dimensions.width,
'height': dimensions.height
},
minWidth: dimensions.width,
minHeight: dimensions.height,
maxWidth: dimensions.width,
maxHeight: dimensions.height,
frame: 'none'
});
}
});
});
Of course you could use those changes and namespaces but I chose to leave them out.
MiroRauhala has answered your direct question, but maybe you should rethink how your app is structured.
Chrome apps don't have navigation like a normal site does. They have windows, and each window corresponds to a different html page. Instead of closing one window and opening a new one up with the exact same bounds, you could just have different divs within the one document which you hide and show as necessary.
I think changing your structure will lead to a simpler app in the long run.
If you do go with the separate window approach you will need to be careful. For example, if you add an id to a window and specify bounds, the bounds are only applied the first time it is shown. Afterwards it remembers the bounds. You can get around that by creating it hidden, then moving it, then showing it. You might run into other things like this as you're using the chrome apps platform in a way it wasn't designed for.

Colorbox positioning on top of another element

I've got quite an issue with positioning of colorbox. The methods described on official website http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/ are not quite enough for my purpose. The thing is that I have button opening the colorbox and I need to position it "over the button" (button is 50px height, colorbox is something about 700px height so I need to center it over the button (something like 300px top of the button).
I have tried basic repositioning with jquery in onOpen and onLoad function in colorbox like:
onOpen:function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');
},
It works but colorbox settings automatically overwrite those settings right after onOpen or onLoad and colorbox is positioned in center of the viewport again.
So I am basically calling for help, colorbox positioning settings like top, left etc. are simply not enough for positioning on top of the button element.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: full code below
$(".reserve_").live('click',function() {
var loadUrl = $(this).attr("href");
$.colorbox({
innerWidth:660,
innerHeight:720,
returnFocus: true,
overlayClose: true,
fixed: false,
iframe: true,
href: loadUrl,
opacity: 0.6,
reposition: true,
onOpen:function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');//test
},
onLoad: function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');//test
},
onClosed:function() {
}
});
return false;
});
EDIT 2: link on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zS8J8/8/ (sorry about the messy code in CSS and HTML)
The jsfiddle was helpful, I was able to use the same code as you and get it working.
This was tested in firefox 20, chrome 26, IE 9 on Win 7. The "Open Colorbox" link isn't visible in IE using your HTML, but if you move your mouse in that area, you'll see the cursor change and if you click, Colorbox will open in the correct location.
Here's the HTML, I changed class="rezervuj" to id="rezervuj" because we're keying on a single element rather than a bunch of images:
<h3 style="margin-bottom: 300px;">TOP OF THE PAGE</h3>
<div class="unitKontejner">
<div style="float:right;">
<a id="rezervuj" href="http://www.imgur.com">
<div class="reserveIt">
<div class="reserveIt-content">
open colorbox »
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
Here's the script that you can put in the head:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
// I removed the options that were set to the default.
// The top and left can be left out or set to a default,
// I used them as a test to see the difference when the event hook is used.
$("#rezervuj").colorbox({
iframe:true,
innerWidth:660,
innerHeight:720,
opacity: 0.6,
top: 0,
left: 0
});
// Use the "cbox_complete" event hook.
// It allows the colorbox div to be positioned after it opens,
// but before the content is loaded.
$(document).bind('cbox_complete', function(){
// Grab the position of the button,
// colorbox can be positioned relative to it.
var pos = $(rezervuj).position();
//console.log(pos);
// Set the position of the colorbox div
// You can add to or subtract from the pos values
// Example: top: (pos.top + 20) + "px"
$("#colorbox").css({
position: "absolute",
top: pos.top + "px",
left: pos.left + "px"
}).show();
});
});
</script>
you can also try this.
$.colorbox({
width: "600px", height: "500px", inline: false, overlayClose: false, escKey: true, iframe: true,
onComplete: function () {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top', '100px');//test
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('display');//test
$('#colorbox').css('display', 'block');//test
},
onLoad: function () {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('display');//test
$('#colorbox').css('display', 'none');//test
},
});

Jqueryui dialog "resizeable: false" not working?

Below is my code. When it opens the modal, it IS resizeable even though it's set to false. This is not expected. All other parameters work as expected (height, width, position, draggable, modal).
//MODAL IFRAME POPUP FOR EDITS/adds
$("#modalDiv").dialog({
modal: true,
autoOpen: false,
height: '400',
width: '400',
position: ['150','200'],
draggable: true,
resizeable: false,
title: ''
});
//catch a click on an item with the class "add" open modal div.
$('.add').live('click', function () {
var thing = $(this).attr('add')
url = 'add/' + thing + '.aspx?appid=' + $('.lblAppID').html();
$('#modalIFrame').attr('src', url);
$('#modalDiv').dialog('open');
return false;
});
However, if I call the following code from within the modal iframe, it makes it unresizeable (as expected).
window.parent.$("#modalDiv").dialog("option", "resizable", false);
This works, but preferably I'd like to know what I'm missing... I'm sure it's something stupid. Help?
It's resizable, not resizeable.
You're spelling the word two different ways :-)
