insert anchor element before every bar column ti make it tabbable - d3.js

I am trying to make my chart 508 compliant. Hence in order to make it possible to navigate the chart using keyboard, i want to add anchor elements before every bar column. I tried doing :
d3.select("svg").insert("a",".nv-bar").attr("href","");
but it didnt work.
Can anybody suggest a better way of doing it. Thanks !

Here's one way to do it:
d3.selectAll('.nv-bar')
.each(function() {
var el = this;
d3.select(el.parentNode)
.insert('a', function(){return el;})
.attr('href', '');
});
The insert method will add elements to each item in the current selection, regardless of how many elements the "before" parameter matches.
My solution will add an anchor for each bar in the document, and takes advantage that the insert method can accept a selector string or a function that returns an element to insert before. (Although, somewhat frustratingly, it does not accept a DOM node directly)
Edit: Here's a jsfiddle with an example: https://jsfiddle.net/bgp6atzo/

How do you use the dc.redrawAll() function onclick?

I would like to be able to use the dc.js select menu (dc.selectMenu) in such a way that when I click on an element it gets the value of said element and that becomes the value of the select, once selected it should refresh the data as it normally would if you had just selected in the first place.
The problem I'm having is that I can set the value, but dc.redrawAll() seems to do nothing for me so I think I must be filtering wrongly, but I can't find much information online regarding how to do it other than simply using the filter method (not onclick).
I have tried to set the destination to whatever data-destination is which appears to be working, the value of the select does update when I check with console.log to check the value of the select menu, I then use the dc.redrawAll() function expecting it would filter based on the select option but it does nothing (not even an error in the console)
My function so far is looking like:
function select_destination(ndx) {
var destination_dim = ndx.dimension(dc.pluck('destination'));
var destination_group = destination_dim.group();
var destination = null;
document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
if (!e.target.matches('.open-popup-link')) return;
e.preventDefault();
var destination = e.target.getAttribute('data-destination').toString();
document.getElementById('select-destination').value = destination;
dc.redrawAll();
});
dc.selectMenu('#select-destination')
.dimension(destination_dim)
.group(destination_group)
.filter(destination);
}
I would expect the graphs to update based on the select option but nothing happens, and I get no error message to go off either.
I suspect I'm using dc.redrawAll() wrongly as if I go to the console and type dc.redrawAll(); I get undefined but I'm really at a loss now and the documentation isn't really helping me at this point so I don't know what else to do.
they are bits of your code that I don't quite understand, for instance why do you have have filter(destination /*=null */)
anyway, So you want to filter the select menu? you can call directly the replaceFilter function with the value, as done in the source code:
menu.replaceFilter(destination);
dc.events.trigger(function () {
menu.redrawGroup();
});
See the source code for the full example of how it's done
https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/docs/html/select-menu.js.html#sunlight-1-line-129
as for why it doesn't work, I have had some surprising results mixing d3 with pure dom js. Try to rewrite your even handler in d3, eg
d3.select('#select-destination').property('value', destination);
it's possibly that changing the value on the dom directly isn't triggering the change event.
My experience with d3 is that it works better to change the underlying data (call directly filter functions or whatever you want to do) and let dc redraw the needed rather than manipulating the dom directly

only select one pie slice [duplicate]

I have a dc.rowchart that has 5 different "categories". Initially, all are selected. When I click on one, then only that one is highlighted. When I click on a second one... both the first and second one I clicked are highlighted.
How can I make it/configure the rowchart such that only a single category is highlighted every time a bar is clicked?
dc.filter("category1");
dc.filter("category2");
Both of these in sequence appear to "append" filters than replace.
Ethan's answer is almost there. It's likely unintentional, but dc.js doesn't appear to use the return value for addFilterHandler, so you'll have to modify the filters parameter for it to work, like so:
myChart.addFilterHandler(function (filters, filter) {
filters.length = 0; // empty the array
filters.push(filter);
return filters;
});
This works great as long as your chart doesn't use cap (e.g. a pie chart with limited slices), as this handler prevents the others group from working. I've yet to come up with a satisfactory solution for that case, unfortunately.
I assume you'll want addFilterHandler - https://github.com/dc-js/dc.js/blob/master/web/docs/api-latest.md#dc.baseMixin+addFilterHandler
You'd probably want to do the following, but it's untested.
myChart.addFilterHander(function (filters, filter) {
return [filter];
});

Hiding columns of handsontable from javascript

Is there any way i can hide HOT columns from javascript?
The requirement is such that the column to hide will come as a parameter in javascript and based on that the respective column will show hide accordingly.
The HOT has rowHeaders and colHeaders and the data with 20 columns.
Please advise.
OUTDATED SOLUTION
Ok I founnd a possible solution. I tested it out on my own system but it's actually quite simple.
You should be using a customRenderer in your columns option. Read up about this if you aren't already. The idea is that you're giving each cell its own renderer. In this custom function, you can do something like this:
var colsToHide = [3,4,6]; // hide the fourth, fifth, and seventh columns
function getCustomRenderer() {
return function(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
if (colsToHide.indexOf(col) > -1) {
td.hidden = true;
} else {
td.hidden = false;
}
}
}
What this renderer does is hide the cells that the var colsToHide specify. All you do now is add a DOM element that lets the user pick which and so every time the table gets rendered (which happens basically after any change, or manually triggered need be), the cells in the columns specified will be hidden, keeping the data array intact like you described. And when not in colsToHide they are re-rendered so make sure you get that working as well.
Here I implemented it with very basic functionality. Just enter the index of a column into the input fields and watch the magic happen.

Better Solution: handsontable: hide some columns without changing data array/object

How to select a row in kendo grid by data item ID?

I need to select a specific row in kendoGrid but NOT by data-uid (as data-uid is changed when the grid dataSource is loaded again) but by the row itemID. I saw posts but they only select the row by uid which is not what I needed, I actually need to restart the HTML5 application and when grid is loaded, a specific item should be selected. This is what I've been seeing
Demo: jsfiddle.net/rusev/qvKRk/3/
e.g. the object has OrderID as ID, and every time the grid is loaded, it will be the same, unlike uid, I want to know how will I be able to select a row with OrderID, instead of uid.
You cam mix row itemID and data.uid, I guess.
var grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
var dataItem = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.get(itemID);
var row = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid").tbody.find("tr[data-uid='" + dataItem.uid + "']");
Going along with what umais has mentioned, the better approach, since there is no built in functionality for this as of yet, would be to iterate through all the records to find the one you need. The function that I built will work even if there are pages of data. The only other way that I can think of doing this would be do do a secondary ajax call; But this works well. Note that i haven't tested it with more than 2000 records.
var dataGrid = $("#GATIPS").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
var numOfRows = dataGrid.total();
var currentPageSize = dataGrid.pageSize();
dataGrid.pageSize(numOfRows);
var dataGridData = dataGrid.data();
for (var i = 0; i < numOfRows; i++) {
if (dataGridData[i].uid == e)
return dataGridData[i];
}
dataGrid.pageSize(currentPageSize); // reset the view
e is the UID. However this can be substituted for what ever variable you need just replace the check.
a work around that I managed to have, was to go through all rows and check which row model has that ID equal to the parameter, and then get that row data-uid and select the item through data-uid. It's working fine for me, since there were no suggestion, it's the better answer for now.
Well, accordingly to what I have done (and worked for me), and even though the work around isn't the prettiest, set one more Column, with your model id and with ClientTemplate then create any html object (div in my case) inside it give it a html id of your id, so when ever you need it, you just have to go and look with something like:
grid.dataItem($("td div#id").closest("tr"));
Because remember that the dataItem method is waiting for a selector then you get your selectedItem as regular one.
EDIT:
I forgot to say, that you should (or could) use the style property
display:none
If you don't want to display that col.

Jquery UI Slider - Input a Value and Slider Move to Location

I was wondering if anyone has found a solution or example to actually populating the input box of a slider and having it slide to the appropriate position onBlur() .. Currently, as we all know, it just updates this value with the position you are at. So in some regards, I am trying to reverse the functionality of this amazing slider.
One link I found: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-177578.html is a bit outdated, but looks like they made an attempt. However, the links to the results do not exist. I am hoping that there may be a solution out there.
I know Filament has re-engineered the slider to handle select (drop down) values, and it works flawlessly.. So the goal would be to do the same, but with an input text box.
Will this do what you want?
$("#slider-text-box").blur(function() {
$("#slider").slider('option', 'value', parseInt($(this).val()));
});
Each option on the slider has a setter as well as a getter, so you can set the value with that, as in the example above. From the documentation:
//getter
var value = $('.selector').slider('option', 'value');
//setter
$('.selector').slider('option', 'value', 37);
UPDATE:
For dual sliders you'll need to use:
$("#amount").blur(function () {
$("#slider-range").slider("values", 0, parseInt($(this).val()));
});
$("#amount2").blur(function () {
$("#slider-range").slider("values", 1, parseInt($(this).val()));
});
You'll need to use Math.min/max to make sure that one value doesn't pass the other, as the setter doesn't seem to prevent this.
You were almost there when you were using the $("#slider-range").slider("values", 0) to get each value. A lot of jQuery has that kind of get/set convention in which the extra parameter is used to set the value.
I've done some work around the jQuery UI slider to make it accept values from a textbox, it may not be exactly what you were after but could help:
http://chowamigo.blogspot.com/2009/10/jquery-ui-slider-that-uses-text-box-for.html
$slider = $("#slider");
$("#amountMin").blur(function () {
$slider.slider("values", 0,Math.min($slider.slider("values", 1),parseInt($(this).val()) ) );
$(this).val(Math.min($slider.slider("values", 1),parseInt($(this).val())));
});
$("#amountMax").blur(function () {
$slider.slider("values",1,Math.max($slider.slider("values", 0),parseInt($(this).val()) ) );
$(this).val(Math.max($slider.slider("values", 0),parseInt($(this).val())));
});
I just used martin's code and updated the id to #slider also added the math.max as he suggested so the sliders won't overlap.
