Having issue to reference jQuery plugin inside the template of kendo grid - kendo-ui

I am trying to use jquery plugin inside template:
But I am getting error, can anyone point me out where it goes wrong?
I've called the function $("span.pie").peity("pie") inside the script tag and tried to use it inside one of my column template of the grid. { field: 'userId', title: 'ID', template:"<span class=ul>#=userId#</span> </br> <span class='pie'>1/5</span>", width:60 }
https://dojo.telerik.com/ihEzi

The problem is that you call the plugin before the template has been rendered. The call to the plugin only finds and affects what is in the DOM at that time. Anything you add afterwards, even though it matches the span.pie selector, is unaffected until you call it again.
I suggest subscribing to the grid dataBound event (see the Telerik documentation) and calling the plugin in the handler function you define. DataBound is called after the grid has rendered all its UI components so everything is then in the DOM ready to be found.

Reload javascript after thymeleaf fragment render

I have javascript files defined in the <head> of both my layout decorator template and my individual pages which are decorated. When I update a thymeleaf fragment in one of my pages the javascript defined in the head of the parent page no longer works. Is there a standard way to 'refresh' these js files?
Thanks.
Additional clarification :
I have a form submitted by an ajax call which updates a table in the page. I have a Jquery onClick function targeting a button in the updated table. The javascript doesn't seem able to bind to the returned elements in the updated part of the page. I select by element class and can see that the selection works prior to the partial fragment render.
For me it is unclear what you mean by
javascript defined in the head of the parent page no longer works.
The page is created on the server. Normally it contains urls of the javascript files
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
In this case 'refreshing' the javascript files can happen only in the client.
Check the html of the page in the client.
Are the tags as expected ?
Are there tags for all expected javascript files ?
With the browser tools (for example Google Chrom developer tools ) check that all script files are actually loaded.
If this doesnt help, it could be that the order of the script tags has changed between the first and second load. This could cause a different behaviour of the javascript executed in the browser.
EDIT :
With the initial load you bind javascript callbacks to dom elements.
You do this directly or through Jquery or other libraries.
When a new dom element is loaded, it has no callbacks bound to it, even if it has the same id as a replaced dom element.
So after the load you have to bind your callbacks again.
If you bound them 'by hand', just bind it again.
If you are using a JQuery plugin, that made the bindings, look into the code or documentation, many of them have a function for that or you can call initialization again.
Once you added new content to the DOM you need to bind again the new content.
Let's say I have a button with some class, the event in binded to the class:
<button class="someclass">Button 1</button>
<script>
var something = function() {
// do something
};
$(".someclass").on("click", something);
</script>
If I add more buttons from the same class to the DOM, they will have not have the click event binded. So once you load the new content via ajax, also remove all binding and add again (you need to remove or you will have buttons with 2 events).
$(".someclass").off("click");
$(".someclass").on("click" , something);

KendoDropdown placed in fancybox popup = Bad practice?

There is a problem when I put Kendo Dropdown List info Fancybox - Popup.
For detail:
I have page A :this page contains Kendo Dropdown list (with id = #myDropdown).
I have page B : I put my Fancybox caller here- I mean I use Fancybox to load page A (by ajax)
Everything look well , but I got a problem here:
You know, when I initialize a Dropdown List, Kendo-UI will create an "anchor" Tag for UI-effect purpose.
Ex:
DropdownList has id = #myDropdown
Kendo will create one more Tag with id = #myDropdown-list.
After closing the Fancybox-popup , The "#myDropdown" was removed from DOM, but "#myDropdown-list". It still on the DOM overtime, and it willing to be double after I call the popup again(ofcourse if dont refresh current page).
And The Kendo-DateTimePicker as the same too.
p/s: and so sorry about by english if it was too bad :D. I hope you get my question.
im going to put my "popup" in iframe.But I dont know if it is good when using iframe in this case...
Using IFrame or not is not the cause of the error. I tried with a container and without it to load the fancybox via ajax, but it didn't make a difference.
What I found is sort of a hack, however it solves the problem. Let's suppose we have a code which creates the popup and the popup's content is located in the href 'popupFrame':
$.fancybox({
'href': 'popupFrame',
'type': 'ajax',
beforeClose: removeKendoHelpers
});
The other part is the function which is called before closing the popup:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$("#myDropdown-list").remove();
}
Of course you can create the removeKendoHelpers as an inline function and if there are more parts to remove then put that code into the removeKendoHelpers function as well.
One interesting remark: in the fancybox API onCleanup and onClosed are listed as options but they do not work, instead use beforeClose or afterClose.
UPDATE:
Actually a lot of problem is solved with calling the kendo widget's destroy() method. It solves the removing problems for the widgets except for one of the three helper divs of the DateTimePicker, so the close looks like the following:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$("#myDropdown-list").data("kendoDropDownList").destroy();
$("#datetimepicker").data("kendoDateTimePicker").destroy();
}
And to resolve the date time picker's actual problem which is I think a bug in the kendop framework (I will report this and hopefully get some feedback) the last function only needs to be extended with:
$(".k-widget.k-calendar").remove();
OTHER solution:
This one is more crude but works like a charm for me even if the page has multiple kendo controls and even if you open another fancybox from your fancybox.
Wrap the fancybox creation in a function, like:
function openFancyBox() {
$("body").append("<div class='fancybox-marker'></div>");
$.fancybox({
'href': 'popupFrame',
'type': 'ajax',
beforeClose: removeKendoHelpers
});
}
This will create a new div at the very end of the body tag, and the function at the closing of the fancybox uses this:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$(".fancybox-marker").last().nextAll().remove();
$(".fancybox-marker").last().remove();
}
I hope these solves all your problem!

jQuery 'on' not registering in dynamically generated modal popup

I was under the impression that jQuery's on event handler was meant to be able to 'listen' for dynamically created elements AND that it was supposed to replace the behavior of live. However, what I have experienced is that using on is not capturing the click event whereas using live is succeeding!
The tricky aspect of my situation is that I am not only dynamically creating content but I'm doing it via an AJAX .get() call, and inserting the resultant HTML into a modal .dialog() jQueryUI popup.
Here is a simplified version of what I was trying to accomplish (wrapped in $(document).ready(...) ):
$.get("getUserDataAjax.php", queryString, function(formToDisplay) {
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
buttons...
}).html(formToDisplay);
});
$(".classThatExistsInFormToDisplay").on("click", function() {
alert("This doesn't get called");
});
From the documentation for on I found this which which was how I was approaching writing my on event:
$("p").on("click", function(){
alert( $(this).text() );
});
However, for some reason, live will work as I expect -- whereas on is failing me.
This isn't a question for "how can I make it work" because I have found that on will succeed (capture clicks) if I declare it inside the function(formToDisplay) callback.
My question is: what is wrong with on that it isn't finding my dynamically created elements within a modal popup? My jQuery instance is jquery-1.7.2. jQueryUI is 1.8.21.
Here are two jsFiddles that approximate the issue. Click the word "Test" in both instances to see the different behavior. The only difference in code is replacing on for live.
Where the click is captured by live.
Where the click is NOT captured by on (click 'Test - click me' to see nothing happen).
I realize I may just be using on inappropriately or asking it to do something that was not intended but I want to know why it is not working (but if you have something terribly clever, feel free to share). Thanks for your wisdom!
Update / Answer / Solution:
According to user 'undefined', the difference is that on is not delegated all the way from the top of the document object whereas live does/is.
As Claudio mentions, there are portions of the on documentation that reference dynamically created elements and that what you include in the $("") part of the query needs to exist at runtime.
Here is my new solution: Capture click events on my modal dialog, which, although it does not have any content when the event is created at runtime, will be able to find my content and element with special class that gets generated later.
$("#dialog").on("click", ".classThatExistsInFormToDisplay", function() {
... //(success! Event captured)
});
Thanks so much!
live delegates the event from document object, but on doesn't, if you want to delegate the event using on method, you should delegate the event from one of static parents of the element or document object:
$(document).on("click", ".clickHandle", function() {
alert("Content clicked");
});
The problem is that the element to which you attach the event has to exist.
You have to use on like this to capture clicks on p tags created dynamically
$("#existingContainerId").on("click", "p", function(){
alert( $(this).text() );
});
if you have no relevant existing container to use, you could use $("body") or $(document)
If selector is omitted or is null, the event handler is referred to as direct or directly-bound. The handler is called every time an event occurs on the selected elements, whether it occurs directly on the element or bubbles from a descendant (inner) element.
When a selector is provided, the event handler is referred to as delegated. The handler is not called when the event occurs directly on the bound element, but only for descendants (inner elements) that match the selector. jQuery bubbles the event from the event target up to the element where the handler is attached (i.e., innermost to outermost element) and runs the handler for any elements along that path matching the selector.
Event handlers are bound only to the currently selected elements; they must exist on the page at the time your code makes the call to .on(). To ensure the elements are present and can be selected, perform event binding inside a document ready handler for elements that are in the HTML markup on the page. If new HTML is being injected into the page, select the elements and attach event handlers after the new HTML is placed into the page. Or, use delegated events to attach an event handler, as described next
Take a look to section Direct and delegated events here for more details

Using jQuery Plugins with live()

I have a page that dynamically loads content with the jQuery load() function, so I need to use live() for each of my jQuery functions on this page. However, I am unable to get live() to work with jQuery plugins. For example, I want to use jQuery accordion:
$("#accordion").accordion();
But I cannot find the right syntax to get accordion to work with live(). I have tried:
$("#accordion").live("load", accordion());
$("#accordion").live("load", $("#accordion").accordion());
$("#accordion").live("load", $(this).accordion());
I either receive the "b is undefined" error, or "accordion is not defined."
You must use anonymous function
$("#accordion").live('load',function(){
$(this).accordion();
});
Edit:
If the accordion is already in the page when you first render it, then you shouldn't call it using live(), but by page load
$(function(){
$("#accordion").accordion();
});
This could partly answer your question:
I would suggest using livequery instead to do this:
$("#accordion").livequery(
function() { $(this).accordion(); },
function() { $(this).accordion("destroy"); }
);
The first function will initialize jQuery UI's accordion functionality on any $("#accordion") element that's added to the DOM, and the second one will destroy the accordion object when that same element is removed from the DOM.

jQuery children of cloned element not responding to events

Summary
I am using jQuery to clone a div ("boxCollection") containing groups ("groupBox") each of which contains a set of inputs. The inputs have change events tied to them at $(document).ready, but the inputs inside the cloned divs do not respond to the event triggers. I can not get this to work in IE7, IE8, or FF3.
Here is my sample code:
HTML:
<div class="boxCollection"><div class="groupBox" id="group_1"><input type="text"></input></div></div>
jQuery events:
$(".groupBox[id*='group']").change(function(){
index = $(this).attr("id").substring(6);
if($("input[name='collection_"+index+"']").val() == "")
{
$("input[name='collection_"+index+"']").val("Untitled Collection "+index);
}
});
jQuery clone statement:
$(".boxCollection:last").clone(true).insertAfter($(".boxCollection:last"));
Use live() to automatically put event handlers on dynamically created elements:
$(".groupBox[id*='group']").live("change", function() {
...
});
You appear to be putting a change() event handler on a <div> however (based on your sample HTML). Also, I would recommend not using an attribute selector for this. You've given it a class so instead do:
$("div.groupBox ...")...
Lastly, you are trying to give each text input a unique name. You don't say what your serverside technology is but many (most?) will handle this better than that. In PHP for example you can do:
And $_POST will contain an element "box" with an array of three values.
I'm not sure if this will work, but I'm going to give it a shot and say that you need to assign live events
$(".groupBox[id*='group']").live('change', function() { });
You'll probably have a problem with change and live in IE6/7, so I advise you to use the livequery plugin to resolve that issue.
