I have one main page with menu buttons. When clicked, they change the main "content" area with AJAX. In the header of this page I have all of the appropriate Dojo references.
I know the AJAX works because i have successfully pulled in and displayed data in the content area, and I know the Dojo Dijit TimeTextBox works because I have successfully displayed it before I make any calls with AJAX.
When I try to make a call with AJAX and pull in new input fields for the TimeTextBox widget, they display only as regular text boxes, and seem to ignore the fact that I have them set to be the TimeTextBox.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?
EDIT:
Here is the code:

^^That is the data being pulled in
Are the css files for those dijits pulled up? You might want to require them at the beginning (when the page loads) which get cached and will be used when the dijits are pulled via AJAX.
EDIT: Not sure but can suggest you try to add startup() call for the widget you created.
it apears to me like you are forgoetting to call:
dojo.parser.parse();
after setting the content i your ajax call. it should look like this:
function getPage(page)
{
$.ajax({
url: "admin"+page+".php",
type: "POST",
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
$('#content').html(html);
dojo.parser.parse();
$('#content').fadeIn('slow');
}
});
}
the dojo parser will not execute by itself, it is too resourses expensive to do that, so each time the content changes so you add a dijit you moust call dojo.parser.parse();

In my HTML below button and <p>is used..
<button class="btn btn-info" id ="btn">submit</button>
<p></p>
I have used Jquery to run my script whenever I click submit button as follows,
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btn").click(function(){
$('#loading').show();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'testme.php',
success: function(data) {
//alert(data);
$("p").text(data);
$('#loading').hide();
}
});
});
});
This works fine and I could see the loading screen until testme.php executes.
Now I need to make a confirmation box as below before executes...
Is some one clicks Yes I need to go ahead and run my testme.php if not I need to close the window box.
I have checked some examples in below site but could not find a method to combine it with my existing code. Can someone help me on this case?
https://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Sliding-Confirm-Dialog-Plugin-with-jQuery-Bootstrap-Confirm/
Thanks in Advance!
Update:
Here is my complete code after Rory McCrossan's answer But seems there is an issue
...
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Colombo");//set you countary name from below timezone list
// Check if the user is logged in, if not then redirect him to login page
if(!isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) || $_SESSION["loggedin"] !== true){
header("location: login.php");
exit;
}

In the link in your question, it's the second example which is relevant to you. That will bind the event handler to the first button to display the confirmation dialog. From there you can place your $.ajax() logic within the confirm handler for it to be invoked when the user confirms the dialog.
Also note in the example below that I hide the loading spinner in the complete callback. This is to ensure that you don't freeze the UI in a permanent loading state if the AJAX request fails.
$("#btn").confirm({
title: "Delete confirmation",
text: "This is very dangerous, you shouldn't do it! Are you really really sure?",
confirm: function(button) {
console.log('AJAX request in progress...');
/* Commented for this demo only

$.ajax({

success: function(data) {

complete: function() {
$('#loading').hide();

I am trying to figure out how to use a jQuery plugin with the Kendo UI template.
I have an index.html that calls a views/home.html file. Then there is a home.js file that controls some functionality for the home.html using a model.
I am trying to use a jQuery barcode plugin. We are dynamically getting data from our service and outputting the data (although right now I am just trying to hardcode values). How would I get the jQuery plugin to work with the Kendo UI template code.
My code is below.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link href="kendo/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div id="MemberCardHeader">
<div data-template="memberTemplate" data-bind="source: MemberInfo">
<!--Member card x-kendo-template id="memberTemplate" renders here-->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="memberTemplate">
<div id="memberCard">
<!--Barcode should render here-->
<div id="Barcode"></div>
</div>
</script>
home.js
var app = app || {};
app.MemberInfo = (function (){
/*Barcode code*/
/*HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK WITH KENDO UI CODE ABOVE*/
$("#Barcode").kendoBarcode({
value:"288288",
type:"ean8"
});
}());
you can instantiate the widget in the init event of the view:

I'm new to this jQM stuff, as well as AJAX.
I have a site that keeps a static header and footer, and replaces #mainContent div with external .html/.php pages.
What I am finding is that when I click one of the nav-bar tabs (included in the header), and the #mainContent is replaced with another page, the jQuery Mobile-styling (of buttons, drop-down menus, etc) does not load right away.
Initially the default-style of buttons appears, then (if AJAX loads) a second later the page does a 'refresh-type blink', and the buttons are replaced with the jQM styled-versions.
Occasionally I get stuck with the AJAX 'loading circle', and the buttons retain their original style until the 'nav-bar link' is pressed again.
I know there's a perfectly good reason for this.
Research indicated that using "$(document).ready(function() { .... });" is not ideal for jQM. I replaced this in my navigation-script with "$(document).bind('pageinit', function() { .... });", which didn't really make a difference (though the navbuttons still work).
Here is my basic script initialization for my index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>NoteVote</title>

</head>
<body>
<div data-role="page" id="noteVote">
<!-- HEADER -->
<div data-role="header" align="middle" class="header">
<img src="images/banner_post_it.png" align="middle" alt="Banner Image" height="100" width="250"/>

<div data-role="navbar" data-grid="c" id="navBar">
<ul>
<li><a class="ui-btn" id="coursesButton">Courses</a></li>
<li><a class="ui-btn" id="searchButton">Search</a></li>
<li><a class="ui-btn" id="submitButton">Submit</a></li>
<li><a class="ui-btn" id="accountButton">Account</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- /NAVBAR -->
</div>
<!-- /HEADER -->
<!--

-->
<div data-role="content" class="ui-content" id="mainContent">

</div>
</div>
<!-- /MAIN -->
<!-- FOOTER -->
<div data-role="footer" class="footer" id="footer">
<?php
require_once('../account.php');
if ($account == "_")
{
echo "Not logged in";
} else {

}
?>
</div>
<!-- /FOOTER -->
</div>
<!-- /INDEX -->
<script src="./scripts/navScript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
My navScript.js:
$(document).bind('pageinit', function() {
$("#coursesButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('courses');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/courses.html");
});
$("#searchButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('search');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/search.html");
});
$("#submitButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('submit');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/submit.html");
});
$("#accountButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('account');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/accountPage.php");
});
});
And then here is one of my external pages loaded. This is where the button-styling doesn't load properly... (search.html):

If you could give me a pointer as to why it takes a second to 'refresh' before the jQuery-Mobile style over-rides that of the standard HTML5, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have a feeling it is due to the scripts/styles being loaded twice (ie in the index.php and the search.html ), but if I do not load them in each page, then the buttons do not get stylized...
Though not really affecting basic functionality, it does give the web-app the appearance of really lagging.
Cheers.
The problem is you are not initializing the content you are loading via Ajax. When you load external data dynamically, you need to manually initialize any jQuery Mobile's "widget".
All you need is to call .enhanceWithin() on $("#mainContent") after data is successfully loaded. Hence, you need to use .load()'s callback function to initialize those elements.
$(document).on('pagecreate', "#noteVote", function () {
$("#coursesButton").on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#mainContent").load("URL", function () {
$(this).enhanceWithin();
});
});
});
Demo (1) - Code
(1) Click "Courses" or "Search" buttons
Within a jQuery Mobile page, I have a div which needs to be refreshed after a php mysql JSON call is made. This call updates the number of entries in a database. This update needs to be displayed within the div. I searched stackoverflow and found .listview("refresh"), .trigger("create") and other potential solutions but could not get to work. I think .listview("refresh") is not applicable since I am not using a list.
The main page has two mobile pages within it #outerwrap0 and #outerwrap1:
<html lang="en">

<!--*** PAGE 1 ***-->
<div data-role="page" id='outerwrap1' class="outerwrap" data-url="/account_m.php">
<div class="mineBox">

</div
</div
the applicable portion of the shuffleMainJplayerJQM1.1.js javascript, wherein the php is updated and code should be called to refresh the div is:
$(".adder").click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'AddToMine1.2.php?id=' + currentId,
type: 'POST',
dataType:'json',
success : function (result) {
var errorCode = (result['errorCode']);
switch (errorCode) {
case 0: alert(result['errorMess']);
break;
case 1: alert(result['errorMess']);
break;
case 2: break;
}
},
error : function () {
alert("error");
}
});
// not working - would like to refresh mineBox div here
$(".mineBox").trigger("create");
});
Here is the contents of .mineBox after rendering:
<div class="mineBox">

<img src="../images/mine_block_full.jpg" width="14%" align="absmiddle" />
</p>

You should put the $(function () ...) script into the <head> tag of your HTML page. This way, the countdown will be initiated once the DOM has fully loaded.
I think that the problem is that you are missing the reference to the "jQuery Countdown CSS". In the usage instructions of the plugin it says:
Download and include the jQuery Countdown CSS and JavaScript in the
head section of your page. #import
"jquery.countdown.css";
But you can still make it work without the "jQuery Countdown CSS" if you remove the class attribute from the <h4> element with the id "countdown", like this:
<div class="time_box">
<h3 class="italic">When The Clock Hits Zero ... </h3>
<h4 id="countdown">14min 20sec </h4>
</div>
JSFiddle Example
The countdown plugin uses the class hasCountdown to test whether the countdown has already been instantiated, so you should use a different class name.
From jquery.countdown.js:
/* Class name added to elements to indicate already configured with countdown.*/
markerClassName: 'hasCountdown'
