I am having trouble getting a jquery plugin called ui multiselect to show up properly inside a modal (using jqmodal). I actually have tried another modal called simplemodal and a different multiselect plugin as well with no luck. From what I can gather, it appears the CSS of the for uimultiselect is not being applied because the multiselect resides inside the modal div, which has display: none at page load. I have tried a number of different things suggested by others having this issue and none have worked. Perhaps I am doing it wrong.
In my code, I displayed the multiselect inside and outside of the modal. It works perfectly fine outside.
here is my html:

please try to place your jquery code before </body> and after the target selector...
so jquery code after target selector can fire it up .
because jquery need to be manipulation the target after.
All three of the following syntaxes are equivalent:
$(document).ready(handler)
$().ready(handler) (this is not recommended)
$(handler)
You might be using syntax that is not recommended, try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
instead of this
$().ready(function() {
I resolved the issue. I had to apply the mutiselect js in the callback from jqmodal
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
var myOpen=function(hash){
hash.w.css('opacity',1).show();

Working on a personal project with a navigation bar. I am using jquery x.load() to load html pages into a specific div. The pages load correctly into the div. However, one of the is using a jquery flipswitch. I am trying to read the state of this flipswitch, to no prevail. I have a main javascript file that loads the individual pages, which is basically my x.load(). I have a working jquery script for reading the switch state, that works when placed directly into the developers console. I have attempted this code both inline in the individual page as well as my main javascript file. When I place it inside the individual page, it will at times cause a race condition to develop.
I am looking for any suggestions, advice, or direction on being able to read the status of the flipswitch from the individual pages.
The first section of code is my javascript file. The second section of code, is both my individual page, as well as my main html page that loads the individual html page, respectively.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var SideNav = $('.side-nav'),
NavTrigger = $('.nav-trigger'),
Content = $('.content'),
ApartmentAlarm = $('#Alarm'),
$('.ui-flipswitch').click(function(){console.log($(this).hasClass('ui-flipswitch-active') ? 'On' : 'Off')})
NavTrigger.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert("click works");
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});
ApartmentAlarm.on('click', function() {
//event.preventDefault();
Content.load('alarm.html');
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});

As you are using jQuery Mobile Flipswitch of type checkbox, you can get the status by checking the property checked. Here is a jQuery Mobile Flipswitch playground:
var cases = {false: "Unchecked", true: "Checked"};
function getStatus() {
$("#statusLeft").html(cases[$("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked")]);
$("#statusRight").html(cases[$("#RightSwitch").prop("checked")]);
}
$(document).on("change", "#LeftSwitch", function(e) {
var status = $(this).prop("checked");
$("#statusLeft").html("Changed to "+cases[status]);
});
$(document).on("change", "#RightSwitch", function(e) {
var status = $(this).prop("checked");
$("#statusRight").html("Changed to "+cases[status]);
});
function toggleLeft() {
var status = $("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked");
$("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked", !status).flipswitch("refresh");
}
function toggleRight() {
var status = $("#RightSwitch").prop("checked");
$("#RightSwitch").prop("checked", !status).flipswitch("refresh");
}

By using the change event instead of click you will be notified of the flipswitch toggling also if you are setting the status in code.
Additional notes:
About what you are defining "race condition" i believe you are referring to one of the common mistakes when using jQuery Mobile, i.e. document.ready vs. page events. Please read this post here, and also take some time to read the whole story in deep in this great post of Omar here: jQuery Mobile “Page” Events – What, Why, Where, When & How? (you will find here some other useful posts about this topic).
Moreover: you are trying to update the flipswtches manually by setting the ui-flipswitch-active class by yourself, but i believe you will run into the problem of keeping the status and the ui consistent. So, you may better use the standard JQM way to set the flipswitch status by using flipswitch.refresh. There is already an example in my code snippet.
The last note: until you strongly need it - and you know how to versioning jQuery Mobile - please use the same version of these libraries in all your files, so in your case i believe the pair jQuery 2.1 + JQM 1.4.5 shall be just fine.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var SideNav = $('.side-nav'),
NavTrigger = $('.nav-trigger'),
Content = $('.content'),
ApartmentAlarm = $('#Alarm');
$('.ui-flipswitch').click(function(){console.log($(this).hasClass('ui-flipswitch-active') ? 'On' : 'Off')});
NavTrigger.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert("click works");
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});
ApartmentAlarm.on('click', function() {
//event.preventDefault();
Content.load('alarm.html');
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');

I'm new to jQuery and JavaScript. I have a checkbox list that looks great, but I'm trying to add a button to it so that when the user is done checking, the button is hit, and then my function is called to figure out what is checked and also what is not checked.
However, my button is missing. I tried adding the code within li tags with the rest of the checkbox part, but it didn't show up. I tried adding it after the dd tag and also after the end of the div. I think I have to keep it within the form tag for my function to work, unless I'm mistaken. Any ideas why the button isn't showing up?
This is the example I found the function idea in. I searched on the internet and can't find any good ideas why my button doesn't show up. It's probably a syntax error with the tab or something.
Thanks!

Is there any standard way of coding in Jquery mobile... (ie) Why this question is because the same code for page event is working fine in some devices..and some devices not even produce error or alert...
Example:-
Check the below code
$(document).on('pageinit', "#pageid", function() {
alert("inside page init");
$('input[name="radioBtn"]').on('change', function () {
alert($(this).val());
});
});
It is working fine in browsers both webkit, chrome and mozilla ...but not working in mobiles..
I don't know what is wrong..Can anyone please advice..
NOTE: I tried and using the following link http://www.gajotres.net/document-onpageinit-vs-document-ready/
but still its not working...
This is about my page structure:

Thanks in advance...
When I use $.mobile.navigate to change the page, the page will load but the my custom script won't bind to the elements. If I refresh the page, the custom script will load and bind to the elements. I have a select element to choose between pages:
<select name="calc-Nav" id="calc-Nav">
<option value="a.php">A</option>
<option value="b.php">B</option>
<option value="c.php">C</option>
</select>
This is the event bound to the select element:
$("#calc-Nav").on("change", function (e) {
var opt = $("#calc-Nav option:selected").val();
if (opt) {
e.preventDefault();
$.mobile.navigate(opt);
}
});
Also, I link to my javascript files in the following order:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="custom-scripting.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-mobile.js"></script>
Does anyone have any ideas how to make this work?
thanks.

Here is the template used for all pages
This is the standard Template of each of the pages.

you need to bind them to the document
try-
$(document).on("change","#calc-Nav", function (e) {
var opt = $("#calc-Nav option:selected").val();
if (opt) {
e.preventDefault();
$.mobile.navigate(opt);
}
});
also be sure to add the link to your custom script after the jqmobile script

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'
