I have an application in which i am displaying a fancybox. After display fancybox i am making an ajax call and that call return some data. when i append that data into fancybox i am getting scrollbars. I want to resize fancybox whenever any data added/removed in fancybox dynamically. Please friends help me on this problem.
Thanks You All, finally i have found the solution, just add these replace this line in your fancybox origHeight = body.outerHeight(true); with origHeight = body.height()+10; and add this line too origWidth = body.width()+10;.
after that just set your height of fancybox to auto and call window.parent.jQuery.fancybox.update() after any append/ remove of your data. Like
$("a.fancy-view").click(function(){
var viewID = $(this).attr("id");
$("#"+viewID).fancybox({
type: 'iframe',
'autoSize': false,
'autoDimensions' : false,
href: $("#"+viewID).attr('href'),
width:600,
height:'auto',
'beforeLoad': function(){
$.fancybox.showLoading();
}
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#append").click(function(){
$("#mydiv").html(anyhtmldata);
window.parent.jQuery.fancybox.update();
});
});
after done i have found that for what i am looking i got it.
I found plenty of stuff on StackOverflow and tried different things to achieve what i want, but i'm stuck on this here.
I have a Text in my HTML, if i click this text a fancybox should open with an Image Gallery, the images should come from the images Array.
What happens now is that it's opening a broken fancybox, without any styling, opacity, closebutton whatsoever. Here's a example of what it looks like!
My Javascript is the following
$(function(){
$("#turn_all_pictures").click(function(){
if(images.length == 0){
loadImages();
}
$(this).fancybox();
$.fancybox.open(
images,
{
'autoScale': true,
'autoDimensions': true,
'centerOnScroll': true,
helpers:{
overlay:{
css:{
'background' : 'rgba(58, 42, 45, 0.95)'
}
},
buttons:{}
}
});
});
})
An entry in the Array looks like this, which should be right according to this Stack Overflow Q/A
Object { href="<img class="hidden_img fancybox" rel="turn_gallery" src="../../../images/1085/5263-3-medium.jpg"/>"}
The needed HTML is this:
<p><span class="turn_left" id="turn_all_pictures">Alle Bilder anzeigen</span></p><br>
What am i doing wrong, what do i miss so that the fancybox will open correctly formatted and with the image Gallery instead of the Text from the HTML?
EDIT
I tried out to append the images in my loadImages() function to a div and then ref to this div with my fancybox.
$.fancybox.open(
images,
{
// 'autoScale': true,
// 'autoDimensions': true,
// 'centerOnScroll': true,
// helpers:{
// overlay:{
// css:{
// 'background' : 'rgba(58, 42, 45, 0.95)'
// }
// },
// buttons:{}
href: '#hidden_pictures'
}
)
That will show all pictures, the whole div, in a fancybox, so i'm guessing that it has something to do with the images array
Check the location of your resources such as your CSS and images for fancybox. You can also inspect your DOM using firebug or some DOM inspection tool to see if your resources are ring found.
I used firebug and looked at the NET tab which showed the http request to the resource. You may see a 404 error if it's not found.
Check you have passed images array in a format like this:
[
{
href: 'image1.jpg',
title: 'title 1'
},
{
href: 'image2.jpg',
title: 'title 2'
}
]
make sure you have included the css properly (check the path)

I have a fancy box that opens up and inside that is a link to trigger another fancy box image gallery where I pass in an array of images.
When you click the trigger on the first visit, it loads only the first image and does not let you cycle through the others.
Strangely when you click the link again it is all fine??
What am I missing here? It is clearly loading part because the first image appears however no controls to cycle are present.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.gallery').bind('click', function () {
$.fancybox(['imgURL', 'imgURL2', 'imgURL3'], {
'padding': 0,
'transitionIn': 'none',
'transitionOut': 'none',
'type': 'image',
'changeFade': 0
});
});
});
I'm using Grails 1.3.7 and I use tinyMCE via richui. I'm trying to display a modal window which enables users to send a mail. However, if tinyMCE is correctly displayed, I can't use the text editor because of this error :
t.win.document is null
I finally found the reason here, at the end of the article :
http://blog.mirthlab.com/2008/11/13/dynamically-adding-and-removing-tinymce-instances-to-a-page/
It seems that when I call the page with the jquery script building the modal window, DOM isn't refreshed and doesn't create the corresponding textarea.
Anyway I don't know how to resolve this, so here is my code :
Jquery code :
function dialogSendFirstMail(id) {
var monurl = "/myApp/emailTemplate/writeFirstMail.gsp?id_for_mail="+id;
var titre = "Premier email"
//alert(monurl);
$("#dialogSendFirstMail").load(monurl, function() {
$(this).dialog({
height: 'auto',
width:'auto',
modal: true,
position: 'center',
overlay: {
backgroundColor: '#000',
opacity: 0.5
},
title:titre
});
});
}
GSP calling the script for the modal window :
<!-- ... -->
<g:if test="${params.sendFirstMail}" >
<div id="dialogSendFirstMail"></div>
<script>dialogSendFirstMail(${idProfil});</script>
</g:if>
</body>
modal window (only this for the moment) :
<richui:richTextEditor name="firstMail" value="%Email_de_bienvenue%"/>
In summary, if I detect that I have to send a first mail, the page creates a div in which is placed tinyMCE. This is what the user will see.
As you have mentioned, the reason that you the the error "t.win.document is null" is because the DOM isn't refreshed. So you will have to add the tinyMCE control explicitly when you load the modal dialog. You can use something like this in the gsp which renders the richUI editor (writeFirstMail.gsp in your case) :
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//your tinyMCE settings here
tinyMCE.settings = {
mode : "textareas",
theme : "simple",
editor_selector : "mcesimple",
width: 400
};
tinyMCE.execCommand("mceAddControl", false, "yourTextareaId");
});
Once the dialog is closed, you can remove tinyMCE control from the textarea using this:
tinyMCE.execCommand("mceRemoveControl", false, "yourTextareaId");
Javascript and jQuery (Fancybox) question
I'm using the Javascript function below for Twitter sharing (as well as other services; the function code is simplified to just Twitter for this question) that grabs the to-be-shared page URL and title and it is invoked in the link with onclick. That results in the Twitter share page loading in a pop up browser window, i.e.<img src="/images/twitter_16.png" onclick="share.tw()" />
In order to be consistent with other design aspects of the site, what I'd like to be able to do is have the Twitter share page open not in a standard browser window but in a Fancybox (jQuery) window.
Fancybox can load an external page in an iFrame when the img or href link contains a class (in this case class="iframe" ) in the link and in the document ready function in the header.
Right now, of course, when I give the iframe class to the link that also has the onclick share.tw(), I get two popups: one browser window popup with the correct Twitter share page loaded, and a Fancybox jQuery popup that shows a site 404.
How can I change the function to use Fancybox to present the Twitter share page? Is that a correct way to approach it? Or is there a better way, such as implementing the share function in jQuery, too?
Thanks...
Javascript share function:
var share = {
tw:function(title,url) {
this.share('http://twitter.com/home?status=##URL##+##TITLE##',title,url);
},
share:function(tpl,title,url) {
if(!url) url = encodeURIComponent(window.location);
if(!title) title = encodeURIComponent(document.title);
tpl = tpl.replace("##URL##",url);
tpl = tpl.replace("##TITLE##",title);
window.open(tpl,"sharewindow"+tpl.substr(6,15),"width=640,height=480");
}
};
It is invoked, i.e.: <img src="/images/twitter_16.png" onclick="share.tw()" />
Fancybox function, invoked by adding class="iframe" in the img or href link
$(".iframe").fancybox({
'width' : '100%',
'height' : '100%',
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe'
});
No matter how you change your design, using an iframe with Twitter isn't going to work.
If you replace the URL http://twitter.com with anything else eg http://www.godaddy.com - it will work. I tried something like below:
$('h1').click(function(e) {
$.fancybox({
href : 'http://www.godaddy.com', // http://twitter.com will not work here
title : 'twitter window',
width : 640,
height : 480,
type : 'iframe'
});
});
This is because Twitter uses javascript to "break" iframes on purpose for security reasons.
So your idea of showing a FancyBox iframe in this way cannot work if using Twitter.com. There is confirmation of this and some ideas on getting around it here: (like using API calls from an iframe) - http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/b1bca9ef074086c7
For your "other services" that hopefully don't have the same restrictions (I suspect some of them might) then the other answer further down the page from wajiw seems a good compliment.
My approach would be to remove the fancybox initialization and trigger it directly from your share function:
var share = {
tw:function(title,url) {
this.share('http://twitter.com/home?status=##URL##+##TITLE##',title,url);
},
share:function(tpl,title,url) {
if(!url) url = encodeURIComponent(window.location);
if(!title) title = encodeURIComponent(document.title);
tpl = tpl.replace("##URL##",url);
tpl = tpl.replace("##TITLE##",title);
$.fancybox({
'href' : tpl,
'title' : title,
'width' : '100%',
'height' : '100%',
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe'
});
return false;
}
};
I'm not sure my syntax is correct, but something like that should work for you.
Another different attempt may be to use a dummy anchor, alter it's attributes, and trigger click on it:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#dummyLink").fancybox({
'width' : '100%',
'height' : '100%',
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe'
});
return false;
}
};
});
var share = {
tw:function(title,url) {
this.share('http://twitter.com/home?status=##URL##+##TITLE##',title,url);
},
share:function(tpl,title,url) {
if(!url) url = encodeURIComponent(window.location);
if(!title) title = encodeURIComponent(document.title);
tpl = tpl.replace("##URL##",url);
tpl = tpl.replace("##TITLE##",title);
$("#dummyLink").attr('href', tpl);
$("#dummyLink").attr('title', title);
$("#dummyLink").trigger('click');
return false;
}
};
HTML:
What I see is that the window.open function, is responsible for opening the new browser window. This one should go. Instead you should be setting the href of a link like This goes to iframe, and then invoke the fancybox function.
It's been a while since I've used fancybox, I prefer using jquery-ui.dialog, so I could be wrong ..
I've run into this same exact issue using the jQuery Colorbox plugin. I was trying to make Share on Twitter and Share on Facebook links that would open up in the modal box. When you would open the links, the modal box would appear, however the iFrame would be blank and only a white box would be displayed.
Unfortunately, this is expected behavior. Both the Twitter sharing page and the Facebook sharing pages have instructions to break out of the frame when the link is followed, thus the blank box you're seeing. Since the content that is being delivered by the respective sites are not under your control, there is no way to stop this.
Its impossible with twitter as others noted.
If you View Source of Twitter homepage, you will see a small script like this just below the body tag.
<script>
if (window.top !== window.self) {
document.write = "";
window.top.location = window.self.location;
setTimeout(function() {
document.body.innerHTML = ""
}, 1);
window.self.onload = function() {
document.body.innerHTML = ""
}
};
</script>
Which means if you are in an iframe(self != top), pull out a blank page.
No workarounds are possible.
Perhaps take a look at http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js and see how Twitter creates their popup, then figured out if you could stick that incide a widget.
