callback jquery plugin printThis - jquery-plugins

I was trying to find a solution by using this search and google, but I couldn't find anything and I hope you can help me.
I'm using the printThis plugin for print only parts of my page (in my case a DIV=modal dialog). Plugin-Page: https://github.com/jasonday/printThis
After the print-dialog is called and I printed the document I want to close my modal dialog automatically, but therefore I need a callback function.
So that's the code which is working for printing:
$(".printable").printThis({
debug: false,
printContainer: false,
pageTitle: $("#info-modal .short-info .panel-headline-wrapper h1").html(),
formValues: true,
printDelay: 0
})
Now I thought I add a "done()" function from jquery which "catches" the callback...
I tried the following, but it didn't work:
$(".printable").printThis({
debug: false,
printContainer: false,
pageTitle: $("#info-modal .short-info .panel-headline-wrapper h1").html(),
formValues: true,
printDelay: 0
}).done(function(n){
//close modal dialog
});
I found something in the pull requests: https://github.com/jasonday/printThis/pull/28
But I don't know how I can use it.
I'm using the latest version of printThis (v 1.4) and jquery (v 1.11.0)
thank you very much.
cheers,
Marco

I am the author of the printThis plugin.
Due to the nature of the print dialog, your current setup won't work, because there is no event tied to the print dialog (when it's fired, done, etc.). Additionally, $.done is part of a deferred object, or promise. It won't work in this context.
I haven't yet tested the pull request, but it 'might' work because the browser probably halts and stacks javascript execution while the print dialog is open. However, I don't know how this works across browsers.
If you look in the pull request, the submitter added instructions in the header with the other instructions. You essentially put a function in the config object.
There is another option. You can simply close the modal on the same click event you are using to trigger the print functionality. This approach would be simpler, until I figure out a way to effectively incorporate callbacks.

Load data on ajax for Row expander in ExtJs

I am using Sencha ExtJs grid 4.2 . I am using a Expander plugins for my grid and try to load data under expanded region from Ajax. Right now I am using this code to show data on expanding.
plugins: [{
ptype: 'rowexpander',
rowBodyTpl: new Ext.XTemplate(
'<br><img height="31" width="32" src="../upload/patient/thumb/{patient_image}">',
' <p><b>{fname}, {lname}</b></p>',
'<br> {accordian_view}'
)
}],
Here you can see that data is pre populated, but my requirement is to load data on expanding. I am trying hard to find the event or process to do it. But still no luck. If anyone have any idea please share.
Thanks in Advance
You might check out the expandbody event on the RowExpander plugin: http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#!/api/Ext.grid.plugin.RowExpander-event-expandbody
This event passes not only the row's bound record, but also the expanded element, so you could:
Request data via Ext.Ajax.request({...})
Handle response
Add content to expanded row
One thing to keep in mind, however, is the async nature of this approach. That is, the row is going to expand immediately, regardless of how long the subsequent request takes to come back. So it would probably be a good idea to do something like this instead when handling the expandbody event:
Add "loading" text/icon/whatever into expanded row area
Make Ajax request
Handle response
Replace loading text/icon/whatever with the data returned from the Ajax request
It's likely someone has already done so, but you could also (and I would highly suggest it) wrap this process into a custom plugin of your own that extends the RowPlugin. That way you could use it elsewhere in your app for any grid. If you end up creating a custom plugin, please share it with the community!
EDIT: A quick Google revealed a number of custom plugins that do precisely this. For example: https://github.com/nickbretz/Ext.ux.AsyncRowExpander/blob/master/AsyncRowExpander.js

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.

Attach event handler in chrome not working

This code:
function attachDateNavEventHandler() {
$('.ui-datepicker-title option').each(function () {
$(this).mouseup(setFlag);
});
attaches the event fine in FF but not in IE 8 or Chrome. I'm working with the jQuery datepicker and want to set a flag if the user navigates with the month or year drop-downs. I can't seem to attach to the onchange event of the selects. I think there must be an internal block on those events. I also had trouble using a simple click
Any suggestions mooooooost welcome :).
Try:
$(this).on('mouseup', setFlag);
Though this is basically the same thing you have.
I have a feeling that the options themselves may have the funny business. Options can't do everything that a typical HTML element can, but I'm not certain of the limitations on what browsers.
What about setting an on change on the whole select itself instead of trying to listen for mouseup events of each individual option.
$('.ui-datepicker-title').change(

Watir and Ajax requests

In my webapp I have a simple textfield. To this textfield I have a jQuery function which will be always executed on every keyup. With this function there is an Ajax request assigned which loads every time the result of the SQL-Query. My code is equivalent to the code of
RailsCasts. Now I'm testing my webapp with Selenium. With this line of code
browser.text_field(:id => 'textfield').set("Search text")
the text will be written and the content will be changed. After it should click on a link which is placed on the dynamic content with this code
browser.a(:id => "link").click
The problem now is that the click event won't be executed. Has somebody an idea what the problem could be? Or maybe an example with Watir and Ajax?
Without an example site to test against it's hard to be sure but I will throw out a few potential solutions for you
If the client side javascript is looking for onkeyup events, you may need to fire one after setting the contents of the field. You can do that via the .fire_event method
You could just be looking at a timing issue. If the nature of the link is changing as a result of the input, it's possible that Watir is firing off the two comments in rapid succession and the client side code is still in the midst of doing it's thing (especially if there is back and forth between the jquery code and the webserver that as happening as that also induces networking delays. You may need a brief sleep between commands (brute force) or to wait for a particular element to assume an expected state (a little more work but also a bit more robust and not subject to breaking is the delay exceeds your sleep duration)
I'd suggest executing the commands manually via IRB (you could just cut and paste from your script as needed) to be able to watch the state of the browser, and note any delay in updating the screen/DOM after a particular action. If stuff works properly in IRB but not when executed via a script it's often taken as confirmation of a timing issue.
If this is the original Watir/Firewatir I would try getting it to hover over the link before it attempts to click it.
I've had this problem previously with links that appear after typing into an "autocomplete" field (i.e. it attempts to guess at the text you want by filtering down from a huge list of possibilities).
Try this:
browser.wait_until{browser.link(:id => "link").present?}
browser.link(:id => "link").fire_event("onmouseover")
browser.link(:id => "link").click
If it works, try it without the .fire_event("onmouseover"), because it could just be that it's trying to click the link before it's visible and failing to do so.
If this is actually a question regarding "Selenium" (wrongly labelled Watir) then ignore all of the above, because I that is an application I've never used.
you can use capybara method.
click_link("link")
for ajax set :js => true in you test case

Detect when AJAX changes HTML in a DIV in WebBrowser

After I load a page through a WebBrowser, and I click a link that fires an AJAX script, I need to detect when the AJAX java script finishes loading HTML changes into a div. Since no DocumentCompleted event is fired when the AJAX script is run, I don't know when it finish running. Is there a way I can attach an event to be raised after I know 100% that the javascript finished changing the div?
The project is in C#.
Thanks
I did something similar recently (using jQuery):
$('#mydiv').change(function(){
// do stuff
}
);
Granted, I also use jQuery to set the HTML of that div. I suppose one non-jQuery approach for you could be to set HTML through your own function, which in turn can fire an onchange event.
#New in town: From my experience that is not correct. I use this on multiple DIVs that never get focus in the first place, and it works well and consistently. The normal behavior is as you describe, and normally only applies to the INPUT and SELECT elements, but this is not the case with jQuery.
There is no event. You must patch the JavaScript callback that the browser runs when the reply for the AJAX request comes in. This will contains code like "div.innerHTML = ...". Just put your code below that.
