I created a custom hamburger with its own animation. I wanted to know if there was a way of attaching it to the rightmost side of the MasterDetailPage's sliding menu so that it moves when it is pressed? Is there any way to get that value or at least a value to do with the animation of that page so that I can translate it accordingly
What you need is accomplished through using the "RotateYTo" method and it works also on MasterDetailPage.
Try the following in your MasterDetailPage initiation.
this.RotateYTo(180);
this.Master.RotateYTo(180);
this.Details.RotateYTo(180);
Edit:
It looks like I got your question all in a wrong way.
Anyways. If you need something to appear right next to the Master Page you should add it on the left side of the Detail page. The Master page also takes a width parameter which you can manipulate.
I am using CKeditor with autogrow plugin. But there is a problem when I am working with large text. I want to apply some style. So I need to scroll to the top of the page, click on the button and then scroll back to the bottom. This is very inconvenient.
Is there some plugin which can help to improve usability is such situations? Or I need to write it by myself?
I would limit the growth size to a maximum value with something like autoGrow_maxHeight : 800 - or whatever size works for you. I very much prefer the ckeditor content scrolling instead of the page scrolling.
Another option would be to separate the toolbar in a fixed element to make sure it always stays in sight. See http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7595/_samples/sharedspaces.html for an example; there is an editor there where the toolbar is statically visible and the editable area is apart from the toolbar.
I know there have been a million questions asking this, but mine is different. I don't want to just make a navigation bar that you can hover over and view sublevels. I want the actual navigation bar (which I have as an image) to come in from out of sight. What would be the best way to go about this? Coding, Flash, CSS?
First, using a hover event to show a navigation bar can be very difficult for users to use, though is does save valuable screen space to have it hide. If you choose to stick with the navigation that shows after a hover event, keep it very basic.
Check out this link, it uses the same idea... but uses a click instead. Just change it to work with hover instead.
Hope this fixes your problem!

I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.
I'm building my first jQuery plugins. One is a tab-views switcher thing, and the other is a sliding pager thing. They can both be seen on this test page: http://test.benlwilliams.com/powerwash/
The problem I'm having is with the slider plugin called, blwslider(). The implementation can be found at the bottom of the test page.
I want to be able to have any number of sliders to be independent of one another. The slider on the top works perfectly, but the slider on the bottom will not animate the sliding.
The bottom slider has 2 pages, and starts on the first page. You can see by clicking on the arrows that they appear and disappear correctly, as if the page had turned, but no animation is actually happening to turn the page. What makes me really confused is that if I use Firebug and put some "stops" in the turnPage function, all the variables have the correct values. I can't find any reason why the page is not turning.
I also considered that maybe only the first appearance of a .blwslider() is working for some reason. But I already swapped the order of the two chuncks of slider code, and still the slider with the #slider2 chunck refuses to work.
All the code is visible with firebug, but let me know if I need to post something specific. Thanks!
So it turns out it has nothing to do with the plugin's implementation or structure, but rather a math problem when the slider has only two pages.
