Update Panel in Firefox loading forever - ajax

I have 2 select controls. One change event updates the other. Also, it updates a grid inside update panel.
On page load, I call an ajax method to get the drop down values for both select. I populate the control and trigger a button click event which then updates the grid inside the update panel.
Everything works fine in all browsers, except in Firefox. Any idea as to why this might be happening?
Upon using break point i discovered that in other browsers the server side method is called first and then the ajax method while in Firefox its the other way around.
I narrowed down the issue to when using EndRequestHandler. I use EndRequestHandler event to change the class for a control. I remove that functionality and its perfect. The code for it is below:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler); function EndRequestHandler()
{
var type = $('[id$=ddlType]').val();
$('a[data-categoryid="' + type + '"').parent().addClass('selected');
}

Finally, there was a typo in my code. I forgot the closing square bracket in the EndRequestHandler. Surprisingly, the other browsers didn't care about it!
Updated code.
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler); function EndRequestHandler()
{
var type = $('[id$=ddlType]').val();
$('a[data-categoryid="' + type + '"]').parent().addClass('selected');
}

Link directly to a notebook page in a view

I have an view that extends the current project view, where we add multiple tabs (notebook pages) to show information from other parts of a project.
One of these pages is an overview page that summarizes what is under the other tabs, and I'd like to link the headlines for each section directly to each displayed page. I've currently solved this by using the index of each tab and calling bootstrap's .tab('show') method on the link within the tab:
$(".overview-link").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var sel = '.nav-tabs a:eq(' + $(this).data('tab-index') + ')';
$(sel).tab('show');
});
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="<int>" to each header link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab later, the current indices will be broken. Earlier I relied on the anchor on each tab, but that broke as well (and would probably break if a new notebook page were inserted as well).
Triggering a web client redirect / form link directly works, but I want to show a specific page in the view:
this.do_action({
type: 'ir.actions.act_window',
res_model: 'my.model.name',
res_id: 'my.object.id',
view_mode: 'form',
view_type: 'form',
views: [[false, 'form']],
target: 'current'
});
Is there any way to link / redirect the web client directly to a specific notebook page tab through the do_action method or similar on FormWidget?
If I understood well you want to select the tab from the JavaScript (jQuery) FormWidget taking into account that the id could change if anybody install another module that adds another tab
Solution 0
You can add a class to the page in the xml form view. You can use the id of the element selected by this class name in order to call the right anchor and select the right tab item. This should happen when the page is completely loaded:
<page class="nb_page_to_select">
$('a[href=#' + $('.nb_page_to_select').attr('id') + ']').click()
NOTE: As you have said the following paragrah I assume that you know where to run this instruction. The solution I suggest is independent of the index.
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="<int>" to each

if a new notebook page were inserted as well).
Solution 1
When the page is loaded you can get the tab list DOM object like this:
var tablist = $('ul[role="tablist"]')
And then you can click on the specifict tab, selecing by the text inside the anchor. So you don't depend on the tab index:
tablist.find('a:contains("Other Information")').click()
I think if you have two tabs with the same text does not make any sense, so this should be sufficient.
Solution 2
Even if you want to be more specific you can add a class to the notebook to make sure you are in the correct notebook
<notebook class="nt_to_change">
Now you can use one of this expressions in order to select the tab list
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul.nav-tabs[role="tablist"]')
// or
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul[role="tablist"]')
Solution 3
If the contains selector doesn't convince you because it should be equal you can do this as well to compare and filter
tablist.find('a').filter(function() {
return $.trim($(this).text()) === "Other Information";
}).click();
Where "Other Information" is the string of the notebook page
I didn't tried the solution I'm giving to you, but if it doesn't work at least may be it makes you come up with some idea.
There's a parameter for XML elements named autofocus (for buttons and fields is default_focus and takes 1 or 0 as value). If you add autofocus="autofocus" to a page in XML, this page will be the displayed one when you open the view.
So, you can try to add this through JavaScript, when the user clicks on the respective link -which honestly, I don't know how to achieve that by now-. But you can add a distinctive context parameter to each link in XML, for example context="{'page_to_display': 'page x'}". When you click on the link, I hope these context keys will arrive to your JS method.
If not, you can also modify the fields_view_get method (here I wrote how to do that: Odoo - Hide button for specific user) to check if you get the context you've added to your links and add the autofocus parameter to the respective page.
As you said:
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="" to each header
link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab
later, the current indices will be broken.
I assume that your app allow multi-user interaction in realtime, so you have to integrate somewhere in your code, an update part function.
This function will trig if something has changed and cleanout the data to rebuilt the index in order to avoid that the current indices will be broken.

The view area of ckEditor sometimes shows empty at the start

I am using the following directive to create a ckEditor view. There are other lines to the directive to save the data but these are not included as saving always works for me.
app.directive('ckEditor', [function () {
return {
require: '?ngModel',
link: function ($scope, elm, attr, ngModel) {
var ck = ck = CKEDITOR.replace(elm[0]);
ngModel.$render = function (value) {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
setTimeout(function () {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
}, 1000);
}; }
};
}])
The window appears but almost always the first time around it is empty. Then after clicking the [SOURCE] button to show the source and clicking it again the window is populated with data.
I'm very sure that the ck.setData works as I tried a ck.getData and then logged the output to the console. However it seems like ck.setData does not make the data visible at the start.
Is there some way to force the view window contents to appear?
You can call render on the model at any time and it will simply do whatever you've told it to do. In your case, calling ngModel.$render() will grab the $modelValue and pass it to ck.setData(). Angular will automatically call $render whenever it needs to during its digest cycle (i.e. whenever it notices that the model has been updated). However, I have noticed that there are times when Angular doesn't update properly, especially in instances where the $modelValue is set prior to the directive being compiled.
So, you can simply call ngModel.$render() when your modal object is set. The only problem with that is you have to have access to the ngModel object to do that, which you don't have in your controller. My suggestion would be to do the following:
In your controller:
$scope.editRow = function (row, entityType) {
$scope.modal.data = row;
$scope.modal.visible = true;
...
...
// trigger event after $scope.modal is set
$scope.$emit('modalObjectSet', $scope.modal); //passing $scope.modal is optional
}
In your directive:
ngModel.$render = function (value) {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
};
scope.$on('modalObjectSet', function(e, modalData){
// force a call to render
ngModel.$render();
});
Its not a particularly clean solution, but it should allow you to call $render whenever you need to. I hope that helps.
UPDATE: (after your update)
I wasn't aware that your controllers were nested. This can get really icky in Angular, but I'll try to provide a few possible solutions (given that I'm not able to see all your code and project layout). Scope events (as noted here) are specific to the nesting of the scope and only emit events to child scopes. Because of that, I would suggest trying one of the three following solutions (listed in order of my personal preference):
1) Reorganize your code to have a cleaner layout (less nesting of controllers) so that your scopes are direct decendants (rather than sibling controllers).
2) I'm going to assume that 1) wasn't possible. Next I would try to use the $scope.$broadcast() function. The specs for that are listed here as well. The difference between $emit and $broadcast is that $emit only sends event to child $scopes, while $broadcast will send events to both parent and child scopes.
3) Forget using $scope events in angular and just use generic javascript events (using a framework such as jQuery or even just roll your own as in the example here)
There's a fairly simple answer to the question. I checked the DOM and found out the data was getting loaded in fact all of the time. However it was not displaying in the Chrome browser. So the problem is more of a display issue with ckEditor. Strange solution seems to be to do a resize of the ckEditor window which then makes the text visible.
This is a strange issue with ckeditor when your ckeditor is hidden by default. Trying to show the editor has a 30% chance of the editor being uneditable and the editor data is cleared. If you are trying to hide/show your editor, use a css trick like position:absolute;left-9999px; to hide the editor and just return it back by css. This way, the ckeditor is not being removed in the DOM but is just positioned elsewhere.
Use this java script code that is very simple and effective.Note editor1 is my textarea id
<script>
$(function () {
CKEDITOR.timestamp= new Date();
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});
</script>
Second way In controller ,when your query is fetch data from database then use th
is code after .success(function().
$http.get(url).success(function(){
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});
I know, that this thread is dead for a year, but I got the same problem and I found another (still ugly) solution to this problem:
instance.setData(html, function(){
instance.setData(html);
});

CasperJS click event having AJAX call

I am trying to fetch data from a site by simulating events using CasperJS with phantomJS 1.7.0.
I am able to simulate normal click events and select events. But my code fails in following scenario:
When I click on button / anchor etc on remote page, the click on remote page initiates an AJAX call / JS call(depending on how that page is implemented by programmer.).
In case of JS call, my code works and I get changed data. But for clicks where is AJAX call is initiated, I do not get updated data.
For debugging, I tried to get the page source of the element container(before and after), but I see no change in code.
I tried to set wait time from 10 sec to 1 ms range, but that to does not reflect any changes in behavior.
Below is my piece of code for clicking. I am using an array of CSS Paths, which represents which element(s) to click.
/*Click on array of clickable elements using CSS Paths.*/
fn_click = function(){
casper.each(G_TAGS,function(casper, cssPath, count1)
{
casper.then ( function() {
casper.click(cssPath);
this.echo('DEBUG AFTER CLICKING -START HTML ');
//this.echo(this.getHTML("CONTAINER WHERE DETAILS CHANGE"));
this.echo('DEBUG AFTER CLICKING -START HTML');
casper.wait(5000, function()
{
casper.then(fn_getData);
}
);
});
});
};
UPDATE:
I tried to use remote-debug option from phantomJS, to debug above script.
It is not working. I am on windows. I will try to run remote debugging on Ubuntu as well.
Please help me. I would appreciate any help on this.
UPDATE:
Please have a look at following code as a sample.
https://gist.github.com/4441570
Content before click and after click are same.
I am clicking on sorting options provided under tag (votes / activity etc.).
I had the same problem today. I found this post, which put me in the direction of jQuery.
After some testing I found out that there was already a jQuery loaded on that webpage. (A pretty old version though)
Loading another jQuery on top of that broke any js calls made, so also the link that does an Ajax call.
To solve this I found http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/
and I added the following to my code:
this.evaluate(function () { jq = $.noConflict(true) } );
Anything that was formerly assigned to $ will be restored that way. And the jQuery that you injected is now available under 'jq'.
Hope this helps you guys.

How to call the same function that the ToolBar editbutton does

So I have created a context box upon right click that has Add/Edit/Delete Rows. I also have a bunch of code launched before the Dialog is shown. My problem is that when I use the context menu it doesn't go through some of the code. I have tried to call on the functions directly but it doesn't format correctly.
I am mainly concerned with the edit button, here is the code I am using to bring up the edit Dialog
function editRow() {
var grid = jQuery("#<%= Jqgrid1.ClientID %>");
var rowKey = grid.getGridParam("selrow");
if (rowKey) {
// I have tried calling functions here and it still doesn't work
grid.editGridRow(rowKey, grid.editDialogOptions);
}
else {
alert("No rows are selected");
}
}
So if I use this to display the editform it isn't formatted correctly nor does it go through the functions all correctly.
I am using the ASP Webforms version of Jqgrid so I call the function by doing this
<cc1:JQGrid1 ID="Jqgrid1
//other attributes
ClientSideEvents-BeforeEditDialogShown="ChangeMonitor"
//Rest of code />
So this works just fine, and I'm trying to get the Edit button on the context menu to display correctly.
My thought was to use Jquery to trigger a click on the actual Edit button once someone used the context menu. I couldn't find an ID that would work however.
Is there an easy way to connect my context menu Edit button, with the actual Edit button in the toolbar?
Well I found a solution to my problem.
The id field of the button was edit_ct100_cpMainContent_Jqgrid1_top so I just triggered a click with this code.
$("td[id^=edit][id$=top]").trigger("click")
For some reason when I used the _ct100_cpMainContent_Jqgrid1 it wasn't working, but now it does. Hope this helps someone.

Google Chrome Extension - How can I include a content script more than once?

I've been working on Chrome Extension for a website for the past couple of days. It's coming along really nicely but I've encountered a problem that you might be able to help with.
Here's an outline of what the extension does (this functionality is complete):
A user can enter their username and password into the extensions popup - and verify their user account for the particular website
When a user browses http://twitter.com a content script is dynamically included that manipulates the DOM to include an extra button next to each tweet displayed.
When a user clicks this button they are presented with a dialog box
I've made a lot of progress but here is my problem:
When a user visits Twitter the content script is activated and all tweets on the page get my new button - but if the user then clicks 'More...' and dynamically loads the next 20 tweets... these new additions to the page DOM do not get affected by the content script (because it is already loaded).
I could add an event listener to the 'More...' button so it then triggers the original content script again (and adds the new button) but i would have to predict the length of twitter's ajax request response.
I can't tap into their Ajax request that pulls in more tweets and call my addCurateButton() function once the request is complete.
What do you think is the best solution? (if there is one)
What you want to do is to re-execute your content-script every time the DOM is changed. Luckily there is an event for that. Have a look at the mutation event called DOMNodeInserted.
Rewrite your content script so that it attaches an event listener to the body of the DOM for the DOMNodeInserted event. See the example below:
var isActive = false;
/* Your function that injects your buttons */
var inject = function() {
if (isActive) {
console.log('INFO: Injection already active');
return;
}
try {
isActive = true;
//inject your buttons here
//for the sake of the example I just put an alert here.
alert("Hello. The DOM just changed.");
} catch(e) {
console.error("ERROR: " + e.toString());
} finally {
isActive = false;
}
};
document.body.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", inject, false);
The last line will add the event listener. When a page loads the event is triggered quite often so you should define a boolean (e.g. var isActive), that you initialize to false. Whenever the inject function is run check whether isActive == true and then abort the injection to not execute it too often at the same time.
Interacting with Ajax is probably the hardest thing to coax a content script to do, but I think you’re on the right track. There are a couple different approaches I’ve taken to solving this problem. In your case, though, I think a combination of the two approaches (which I’ll explain last) would be best.
Attach event listeners to the DOM to detect relevant changes. This solution is what you’ve suggested and introduces the race condition.
Continuously inspect the DOM for changes from inside a loop (preferably one executed with setInterval). This solution would be effective, but relatively inefficient.
The best-of-both-worlds approach would be to initiate the inspection loop only after the more button is pressed. This solution would both avoid the timing issue and be efficient.
You can attach an event-handler on the button, or link that is used for fetching more results. Then attach a function to it such that whenever the button is clicked, your extension removes all the buttons from DOM and starts over inserting them, or check weather your button exists in that particular class of DOM element or not and attach a button if it doesn't.
