I have a toolbar in jquery mobile, made up of a bunch of links, which load "pop" modal dialog boxes on top of my javascript application.
Like this:
Info
Where the div with id="about" has a data-role="page". I'd like to open the same dialog from the code, perhaps as part of a button handler, but I can't find any way to do this.
This code does not work. It only shows the elements of the "about" page transparently ontop of my currect page (without styling). How do I do this?
$("#buttAbout").click(function () {
$('#about').show();
return false;
});
It looks like jQuery mobile's dialogs are quite different to jQuery UI. This should do what you want:
$.mobile.changePage('#about','pop',false,true)
The documentation for changePage is here. Basically, the first argument is the string to find the page you want (can be an element id, jQuery object, or a page URL), second argument is the page transition, third is the direction of the transition (false for forwards, true for backwards), and the final argument is whether you want the page URL to update after the transition. I think you'll also need to make sure that the data-role attribute is correctly set to dialog on the div for your dialog, in order to ensure the correct history/styling behaviour.

Is it possible to animate a div, or any other HTML element on a page refresh using jQuery or a similar web technology?
I am thinking something like the Google Photos search box animation.
When clicking the input, the element remains, while the rest of the page fades out and the URL changes. Then the new elements fade in.
This has to be possible by telling the browser somehow that an element should remain on the page after a request and providing the information, that it is the same as the other element loaded with the request.
This is the combination of two things:
Typical animation (you can do that with jQuery by adding classes and leave animation to CSS or use jQuery Animations https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_animate.asp)
History API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) you can manipulate with URL
I have a lot of experience in Swing and WPF but not much in Javascript. I am learning as I go. The below is what I would like to do
Have a single HTML Page for End User
Preload Dialogs which will be displayed in response to user action
Currently I have all the divs for the dialog boxes load as part of the document and then in the document $(document).ready() function I call hide().
I then open and close them. All this works currently. However I have the following problems:
The divs sometimes momentarily appear on page load
It annoys me that all these dialogs that are not part of the index page have to be loaded as part of the index page. (I am a little OCD with Code Organization).
Thanks-in-advance,
Guido
You could start the dialog box divs off with a style attribute set to:
style="display:none;"
Which is what jQuery does when it calls .hide(), then you wont have to wait for jquery to be ready before the element is hidden, the CSS will automatically do it for you
The jQueryUI Dialog will ease your display issues. I've found it to be more stable than anything I could write myself. You can, using AJAX, load content dynamically and put that markup into a single dialog DIV. It's as simple as knowing the DIV's ID, setting the html based on the AJAX response and then calling .dialog() on the popup.

HI,
I need some ones help with this, thank you in advance.
In my site i have that when the user clicks on a input box then a new div opens up on top of the input box in that exact place.
Now i need to add that when that div opens i need the background of the hole screen to become black with some opacity, i think it is called overlay.
some thing like i want you can find here:
http://www.omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/
if you hover with the mouse over the div on the side that says "come work at splunk".
How can i do something like that with jquery or any thing else.
Thank you very much
You want to use the jQuery UI Dialog Modal.
Edit: jQuery's Dialog method will give you a similar effect but is usually used for onclick events rather than mouseover/mouseout. Have a look at the javascript code on the page you linked (around line 356) and you'll see:
$('#splunkjobs').mouseenter(function() {
// make element absolute, positioned over the top of the float and resize
$('<div id="shade"></div>').
appendTo('body').
css('height', $(document).height()).
animate({opacity: 0.6});
This essentially creates a that covers the page and then fades it in.
I still think using a Dialog for your button is preferred (and much simpler).
this is caled 'modal', you can use jquery:

I'm trying to find something similar to the 'Table of Contents' drop down at the top located at http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/ but for jQuery. It looks like that site uses the moo tools fx library. Does anyone know of an already existing plugin for jQuery that does the same thing or easy javascript code to accomplish the same sliding effect for that menu?
It's right there in the core; http://api.jquery.com/slideDown/ . Just call that function in a link's onclick event and you should be good to go.
$('a.expand').click(function() {
$('#toc').slideToggle(); // slide up if down, down if up.
});
To achieve that exact effect you'll just have to use the slideToggle() function built into jQuery.
$('#toggleButton').click(function(){
$('#tableOfContents').slideToggle();
});
You'll need to wrap the table of contents in and have a link/button/whatever width id="toggleButton" to activate it. Make sure the button is outside the table of contents though!
You can check out this links -

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/build-a-top-panel-with-jquery/
You can even google out for more. There are many of them available.
You can use the jQuery .slideDown() and .slideUp methods.
http://api.jquery.com/slideDown/
However something as big as that menu you probably want to call in on the fly with ajax with the callback function on slideDown.
Edit : The reason I recommend calling in the menu with AJAX is because of the usability/accessibility issue cause by having around 100 links off screen that a keyboard user can still tab through. It would take ages for a keyboard user to tab through all the off screen links to finally come to the "Table of Contents" link that activates the menu and then to shift tab back to the one he/she wants...terrible. The menu already does not work with JS off. (There is a link to the Table of Contents page below instead). Therefore calling the menu in with AJAX and giving the first link of the menu focus() is a much better solution.
Yep, it's mootools Fx.Slide. In jQuery you should use slideDown (http://api.jquery.com/slideDown/)
I have a modal dialog form which has some "help links" within it which should open other non-modal panels or dialogs on top of it (while keeping the main dialog otherwise modal).
However, these always end up behind the mask. YUI seems to be recognizing the highest z-index out there and setting the mask and modal dialog to be higher than that.
If i wait to panel-ize the help content, then i can set those to have a higher z-index. So far, so good. The problem then is that fields within the secondary, non-modal dialogs are unfocusable. The modal dialog beneath them seems to somehow be preventing the focus from going to anything not in the initial, modal dialog.
It would also be acceptable if i could do this "dialog group modality" with jQuery, if YUI simply won't allow this.
Help!
By default, YUI manages the z-index of anything that extends YAHOO.widget.Overlay and uses an overlay panel. It does this through the YAHOO.widget.Overlay's "bringToTop" method. You can turn this off by simply changing the "bringToTop" method to be an empty function:
YAHOO.widget.Overlay.prototype.bringToTop = function() { };
That code would turn it off for good and you could just put this at the bottom of the container.js file. I find that approach to be a little bit too much of a sledge hammer approach, so we extend the YUI classes and after calling "super.constuctor" write:
this.bringToTop = function() { };
If you do this, you are essentially telling YUI that you will manage the z-indices of your elements yourself. That's probably fine, but something to consider before doing it.
The original dialog can't be modal if the user is supposed to interact with other elements—that's the definition of modal. Does the original dialog really need to be modal at all? If so, have you tried toggling the modal property of the original dialog before you open the other elements?
