Getting Modernizr.mq working in IE 8 - modernizr

I'm using Modernizr.mq(http://modernizr.com/docs/#mq) to run checks in my JS, and I was under the impression that the Respond polyfill would make Modernizr.mq work in IE 8 as IE 8 does not support media queries but this isn't the case, see this test page in IE 8: http://goo.gl/ND9sA, the bg should be orange according to this:
if (Modernizr.mq('screen and (min-width: 650px)')) {
$('body').css('background', 'orange');
}
So does Respond only work for media queries specified within CSS and not JS? I thought Modernizr.mq uses matchMedia and Respond includes the matchMedia polyfill but still doesn't work.
So how do you get Modernizr.mq working for IE 8 or can't you?

Modernizr doesn't change the values of its tests if you load polyfills, so if the browser doesn't support media queries, Modernizr.mq() will return false, and adding the Respondjs polyfill won't change that.
Sorry about that.
Having said that, if you've got the polyfill loaded, then you're already doing all you can to support old browsers (Respondjs supports IE6/7/8), so there's not a huge amount more you can achieve with the Modernizr flag. , You theoretically shouldn't need to use the Modernizr test with the polyfill in place, as all browsers should support the feature anyway.

How does React deal with pre-compiled HTML from PhantomJS?

I compiled my reactjs using webpack and got a bundle file bundles.js. My bundles.js contains a component that make API calls to get the data.
I put this file in my html and pass the url to phantom.js to pre-compile static html for SEO reasons.
I am witnessing something strange here, the ajax calls for APIS are not getting fired at all.
For example, I have a component called Home which is called when I request for url /home. My Home component makes an ajax request to backend (django-rest) to get some data. Now when I call home page in phantomjs this api call is not getting fired.
Am I missing something here?
I have been using React based app rendering in Phantomjs since 2014. Make sure you use the latest Phantomjs version v2.x. The problems with Phantomjs occur because it uses older webkit engine, so if you have some CSS3 features used make sure they are prefixed correctly example flexbox layout.
From the JS side the PhantomJS does not support many newer APIs (example fetch etc.), to fix this add the polyfills and your fine. The most complicated thing is to track down errors, use the console.log and evaluate code inside the Phantomjs. There is also debugging mode which is actually quite difficult to use, but this could help you track down complex errors. I used webkit engine based browser Aurora to track down some of the issues.
For debugging the network traffic, try logging the requested and received events:
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.onResourceRequested = function(request) {
console.log('Request ' + JSON.stringify(request, undefined, 4));
};
page.onResourceReceived = function(response) {
console.log('Receive ' + JSON.stringify(response, undefined, 4));
};

History issue combining WP7.5, phonegap and jqm

I have a phonegap app that uses jqm that works fine in android and ios.
Porting to WP7 i have an issue with the history, specifically history.back() (but also .go(-1) etc). This refers to going back in history where the previous 'page' was in the same physical html file, just a different data-role=page div.
using a jwm site in a regular browser is fine (with separate 'pages' in the same html file). Also, using history.back() when we go from one html file to another in the app is fine. It's the specific combination of WP7.5, jqm and PG.
Has anyone come across a solution for this? it's driving me crazy, and has been as issue since PG 1.4.1 and jwm 1.0.
EDIT 1: It's possible that the phonegap process of initialising the webview on WP7.5 somehow overrides the jqm history overrides, after they've loaded.
EDIT 2: definitely something to do with jqm not being able to modify the history. each time there is a 'page' change, history.length is still 0.
EDIT 3: When i inspect the 'history' object, i found there is no function for replaceState or pushState - i know jqm uses this for history nav, maybe that's the problem.
ok - this isn't perfect, but here's a solution (read: hack) that works for me. It only works for page hash changes, not actual url changes (but you could add a regex check for that). Put this somewhere in the code that runs on ondeviceready:
if (device.platform == 'WinCE') {
window.history.back = function () {
var p = $.mobile.urlHistory.getPrev();
if (p) {
$.mobile.changePage("#" + p.pageUrl, { reverse: true });
$.mobile.urlHistory.stack.splice(-2, 2);
$.mobile.urlHistory.activeIndex -= 2;
}
}
}

Wibiya toolbar breaks Drupal quicktabs

I have the Drupal Quicktabs module installed at:
http://ar.sacherokeedev.com/auction-directory
I've also installed the wibiya toolbar, http://www.wibiya.com.
Everything works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE7, with the toolbar enabled, it breaks the ajax tab loading. With the toolbar disabled, IE7 works fine. Wibya has a "Javascript Conflict" mode, and I've tried that as well as changing my DocType, as they suggest.
I've narrowed it down to a couple of things. First, quicktabs behavior is based on the "type" of the tab:
if (tab.tabObj.type != 'view') {
// construct the ajax path to retrieve the content, depending on type
var qtAjaxPath = Drupal.settings.basePath + 'quicktabs/ajax/' + tab.tabObj.type + '/';
switch (tab.tabObj.type) {
case 'node':
qtAjaxPath += tab.tabObj.nid + '/' + tab.tabObj.teaser + '/' + tab.tabObj.hide_title;
break;
case 'block':
qtAjaxPath += tab.qtid + '/' + tab.tabObj.bid + '/' + tab.tabObj.hide_title;
break;
case 'qtabs':
qtAjaxPath += tab.tabObj.qtid;
break;
}
In my case, when using the toolbar in IE, tab.tabObj.type is "undefined". So, I'm thinking that wibiya is hijacking my objects or something.
I also get a runtime error, "Object does not support this property or method" in the following block:
if (!Drupal.quicktabs.scripts[files[i]] && !files[i].match(/^\/misc\/jquery\.js.*$/)) {
Drupal.quicktabs.scripts[files[i]] = files[i];
html += '<script type="text/javascript" src="' + files[i] + '"></script>';
}
Has anyone seen this before, or have any suggestions?
Update: I did console.log(tab.tabObj) and in Firefox and Chrome, I get something that makes sense, an Object with a block id, a type, etc... But in i.e. I get this:
function(fn,thisObj){var scope=thisObj|window;for(vari=0,len=this.length;i<len;++i){fn.call(scope,this[i],i,this);}}
Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE: I am currently using the Drupal specific wibya module, and the toolbar itself works fine on my site whether one is using IE, Firefox or Chrome. The issue is that the ajax tabs on that page are prevented from functioning by the wibiya toolbar. I'm inclined to agree with #clive that it's a jQuery/javascript conflict, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.
As for running Drupal 6, I inherited the system, and as of now, can't upgrade.
UPDATE: I just tried loading jQuery 1.4 using the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/1058168. That caused IE to work properly, but now Chrome and Firefox don't like it.
UPDATE: This is a conflict between jQuery 1.3 which runs on Drupal 6 and the Wibiya toolbar which uses at least 1.4. I'm accepting #clive's answer, mainly because he's right about the fact that this is just something that I'm going to have to live with if I have to keep using Drupal 6.
My best guess would be that you're using Drupal 6 which ships with jQuery 1.2.6 (or 1.3.2 with the jQuery update module. The Wibiya baar conversely uses jQuery 1.4.2 upwards.
According to a page on the Wibiya support forums (which I'm sure you've already seen):
if page loads another version of jQuery like 1.2.6 or 1.3.2 previously, Wibiya bar's loading of its own jQ 1.4.2 does not work. No bars, nothing.
But if you load your own jQ 1.4.2 in the first place, then your bar works, despite all other Drupal functions suck like polls, votes, hierarchical select tags, nice menus, some collapsibles, etc.
There a lots of these types of problems with Drupal which is why the community comes up with workarounds and solutions: The Drupal specific Wibiya module will probably save you a lot of headaches.
UPDATE
There's a JS error on your site:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://ar.sacherokeedev.com/auction-directory from frame with URL http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N1727.autoremarketing.com/B5111890.6;sz=728x90;click=http://adclick.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?sa=L&ai=B6dLCjz5qTqvUGIfN0AXN67WqBa-C-usBAAAAEAEg7ZqAFjgAWK_Q_80gYLu2moPQCrIBFGFyLnNhY2hlcm9rZWVkZXYuY29tugEJZ2ZwX2ltYWdlyAEJ2gEtaHR0cDovL2FyLnNhY2hlcm9rZWVkZXYuY29tL2F1Y3Rpb24tZGlyZWN0b3J5mAKgjQbAAgLgAgDqAhNBUl9Ib21lX0xlYWRlcmJvYXJk-ALw0R6QA4wGmAPgA6gDAeAEAaAGFg&num=0&sig=AOD64_1Xi82LSwUc1kKF0RL_orTztOMfxg&client=ca-pub-2649455708539916&adurl=;ord=1670303729?. Domains, protocols and ports must match.
Is it possible that unsafe frame attempt is stopping IE7 from processing the rest of the JS, thereby making your tabs not work?

userscript chrome vs. firefox

i have written a big userscript for greasemonkey which works just fine in firefox, but in chrome nothing happens :(
// ==UserScript==
// #name Name
// #description Desc.
// #author chiefwrigley
// #version 7.3
// #license (CC) chiefwrigley
// #namespace http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/103899
// #include *
// #require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js
// ==/UserScript==
which functions can i use and which not? e.g. GM_setvalue... are there equal functions?
Use Tampermonkey. It allows almost all GM scripts to run on Chrome.
For a somewhat dated matrix of what Chrome userscripts allow, otherwise, start with this table (which needs updating).
You can check out the Greasemonkey Wiki to find out about cross browser compatibility. A good rule of thumb though is that other browsers don't really support any GM_* functionality.
For Chrome specifically, it looks like it doesn't support "#require, #resource, unsafeWindow, GM_registerMenuCommand, GM_setValue, or GM_getValue." and "GM_xmlhttpRequest is same-origin only." [Source]
If nothing is happening, and you're depending on jQuery, the likely cause is that chrome doesn't use #require, so jQuery isn't present... meaning your $(document).ready() is doing nothing, so the script never starts.
I've written a userscript/Greasemonkey pattern which will let you get jQuery (and UI, and whatever else you need) working, in both Chrome and FF, as well as Opera. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/123588

YUI3 selector problem in ie8

Y.one('form fieldset:nth-child(2)').toggleClass('hide');
in chrome, FF, opera this line works but in ie6-8 it throws an error
'Y.one(...)' is null or not an object.
where is the problem?
Have to add the "selector-css3" module to your .use() statement if you want to use CSS3 selectors in browsers that don't support them natively.
