Kendo splitter is undefined after several ajaxrequest - kendo-ui

I have a splitter containing left and right pane. On the left pane it display the navigation , when an item was clicked, the URL corresponding to that item will be loaded into the right pane. I have successfully do this but I notice that after three successful ajaxrequest, my splitter is undefined after the fourth clicked.
Here is my partial js:
var onPanelItemSelect = function (e) {
var windowPath;
windowPath = $(e.item).attr('data-value');
if (windowPath != '#') {
// get a reference to the splitter
var splitter = $("#splitter").data("kendoSplitter");
// load content into the pane
splitter.ajaxRequest("#right_pane", windowPath);
}
return false;
}
Do I miss something?

Are you sure the reason is that you load the partial view three times? The reason for that behavior might be what is actually loaded with these requests.
Famous problem is to load another jQuery with these ajax requests and thus all the widgets will be cleared from the memory and you will start to get the undefined problems.

How to set focus on a section of my web page then scroll down click on an element and again scroll down to view the elements visible on opening

I am able to scroll to a section of the website, and click on the element. But my test fails as the elements opening on the click is not visible without scrolling again.
This is the code I used to scroll and click:
var filter = theSwitch.pageBar;
var scrollIntoView = function () {
arguments[0].scrollIntoView();
};
browser.executeScript(scrollIntoView, filter);
theSwitch.pageBar.click();

Nativescript Get Current Page

How can I get the current screen I'm working on? For example, I have a slidedrawer containing buttons to navigate to another page. When I'm on a certain page(About Page) and when I tap the button to navigate to the About Page, I want to just close the slidedrawer if it is on the same page.
My idea is that to get the current page and just compare it but I dont know how.
Note: The slidedrawer content menu is a custom component.
There are several ways to solve this problem. The easiest is to install the nativescript-dom plugin and then you can do this really simply:
// This will return an array of elements that are SlideDrawer's.
var slideDrawers = getElementsByTagName('SlideDrawer');
or even better is if you have assigned your SlideDrawer an id, you can do
<!-- Declarative XML -->
<SlideDrawer id="myId">...</SlideDrawer>
// JS: Will return a single element that matching the id.
var mySlideDrawer = getElementById('myId');
However, if you just want to not use any helpers and you want to get direct access to the currentPage the method is to do:
var frame = require('ui/frame');
var myPage = frame.topmost().currentPage;
Please note; the currentPage will reflect the old page while navigation is taking effect until the navigatedTo event is fired, at that point the currentPage is actually updated to be the currentPage. However, if you are looking for the current page during any of the navigation events (NavigatingTo, NavigatedTo, Loaded, Unloaded) each of those events are transferred a parameter with the current page as part of the object.
exports.onNavigatedTo = function(args) {
var page = args.object;
// do what you want with the current page variable
}

How do I show/hide images in Enyo?

I am using HP webOS 3.0 and the Enyo framework.
I have simple question that how can I show and hide images on click of a button. I have 2 images and I want to show images on click of one button and hide on click of another button.
I have two panes called left pane and right pane on a single view.
I have around 10 items on left pane.
On each of the item click appropriate view is called on right pane.
I am doing it with following code.
showTaskView: function(){
this.$.rightPane.selectViewByName("taskView");
},
Now I want to know how can access the control's property in the main view containing both left pane and right pane.
For example,
I want to show / hide image in the taskView displayed on the right pane on click of the button that is neither in the left pane or right pane but on the header part of the view that contains both left and right pane.
It is not allowing me to access the control's image.setSrc method from the main view.
I have tried it with the following code.
editTask: function() {
this.$.task.image.setSrc("images/image2.jpg");
}
and
editTask: function() {
this.$.image.setSrc("images/image2.jpg");
}
It gives me the following error:
Cannot read property 'setSrc' of undefined
With VirtualList, your hash will only reference the currently "selected" row. "selected" being either the row receiving an event or one explicitly selected using prepareRow(). If you want to change every row, you should set a property and call refresh() on the list to cause it to rerender.
The below should work (I think ...)
setupRow: function(inSender, inIndex) {
var row = this.data[inIndex];
if (row) {
this.$.caption1.setContent("Greet a " + row.task + ":");
this.$.star.setSrc("images/grey-star.png");
if(this.hideStart) this.$.star.hide();
this.$.caption2.setContent(row.assignto);
return true;
}
},
buttonClick: function(){
this.hideStar = true;
this.$.myVirtualList.refresh();
}

jQuery Functions need to run again after ajax is complete

I am developing a website that parses rss feeds and displays them based on category. You can view it here: http://vitaminjdesign.com/adrian
I am using tabs to display each category. The tabs use ajax to display a new set of feeds when they are clicked.
I am also using two other scripts- One called equalheights, which re-sizes all of the heights to that of the tallest item. And the other script I am using is called smart columns, which basically resize your columns so it always fills the screen.
The first problem I am having is when you click a new tab (to display feeds within that category). When a new tab is clicked, the console shows a jQuery error:
$(".block").equalHeights is not a function
[Break On This Error] $(".block").equalHeights();
The main problem is that each feed box fills up the entire screen's width (after you click on a tab), even if there are multiple feed boxes in that category.
MY GUESS - although all of the feeds (across all tabs) are loaded on pageload, when a new tab is selected, both jQuery scripts need to be run again. any ideas on how I can make this work properly?
One thing to note - I used the ajaxSuccess method for making equalHeights work on the first page...but it wont work after a tab is clicked.
My jQuery code for the tabs are below:
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all content
$("ul.tabs li:first").addClass("active").show(); //Activate first tab
$(".tab_content:first").show(); //Show first tab content
$("#cities li:nth-child(1)").addClass('zebra');
$("#column li ul li:nth-child(6)").addClass('zebra1');
//On Click Event
$("ul.tabs li").click(function() {
$("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active"); //Remove any "active" class
$(this).addClass("active"); //Add "active" class to selected tab
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all tab content
var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); //Find the href attribute value to identify the active tab + content
$(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the active ID content
$(".block").equalHeights();
return false;
});
Thanks to Macy (see answer below), I have brought my jQuery script to the following: (still does not work)
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(){
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'js/equalHeight.js';
document.body.appendChild(script);
equalHeight($(".block"));
I found some small problems in your code. I am not sure that my suggestions will solve all the problems, but I decide to describe my first results here.
1) You should remove comma before the '}'. Currently the call look like $("#column").sortable({/**/,});
2) The function equalHeight is not jQuery plugin. It is the reason why the call $(".block").equalHeights(); inside your 'click' event handler follows to the error "$(".block").equalHeights is not a function" which you described. You should change the place of the code to equalHeight($(".block")); like you use it on other places.
3) The script http://vitaminjdesign.com/adrian/js/equalHeight.js defines the function equalHeight only and not start any actions. Once be loaded it stay on the page. So you should not load it at the end of every ajax request. So I suggest to reduce the script
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(){
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'http://vitaminjdesign.com/adrian/js/equalHeight.js';
document.body.appendChild(script);
equalHeight($(".block"));
$("a[href^='http:']:not([href*='" + window.location.host + "'])").each(function() {
$(this).attr("target", "_blank");
});
});
to
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(){
equalHeight($(".block"));
$("a[href^='http:']:not([href*='" + window.location.host + "'])").each(function() {
$(this).attr("target", "_blank");
});
});
4) I suggest to change the code of http://vitaminjdesign.com/adrian/js/equalHeight.js from
function equalHeight(group) {
tallest = 0;
group.each(function() {
thisHeight = $(this).height();
if(thisHeight > tallest) {
tallest = thisHeight;
}
});
group.height(tallest);
}
to
function equalHeight(group) {
var tallest = 0;
group.each(function() {
var thisHeight = $(this).height();
if(thisHeight > tallest) {
tallest = thisHeight;
}
});
group.height(tallest);
}
to eliminate the usage of global variables tallest and thisHeight. I recommend you to use JSLint to verify all your JavaScript codes. I find it very helpful.
5) I recommend you to use any XHTML validator to find some small but sometime very important errors in the markup. Try this for example to see some errors. The more you follow the XHTML standards the more is the probability to have the same results of the page in different web browsers. By the way, you can dramatically reduce the number of the errors in your current code if the scripts included in the page will be in the following form
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
/* here is the JavaScript code */
//]]>
</script>
I didn't analysed the full code but I hope that my suggestions will solve at least some of problems which you described in your question.
Essentially, when you add a new element to the document, the equalheights script has not attached its behavior to that new element. So, the "quick fix", is probably to re-embed the equalheights script after an ajax request has completed so that it re-attaches itself to all elements on the page, including the elements you just added.
Before this line: $(".block").equalHeights(); , add a line of script which re-embeds/re-runs your equalheights script.
$.getScript('<the location of your equalHeightsScript>');
$.getScript('<the location of your smartColumnsScript>');
$(".block").equalHeights();
or
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = '<the location of your script>';
document.body.appendChild(script);
A better solution would be to upgrade the plugin so it takes advantage of live. However, I'm not up to that at the moment :)
Some Error Here
$("ul.tabs li").click(function() {
$("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active"); //Remove any "active" class
$(this).addClass("active"); //Add "active" class to selected tab
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all tab content
.
.
.
});
Should be re-written like this
$("ul.tabs li").click(function() {
$(this).addClass("active").Siblings("li").removeClass("active");; //Remove any "active" class Add "active" class to selected tab
$(".tab_content").hide(); //Hide all tab content
.
.
.
});
I don't think you need to run the scripts again after the ajax, or at least that's not the "main" problem.
You seem to have some problems in the script smartColumn.js
Right now it seems to only operate on the ul with the id "column" ('#column'), and it is working on the one UL#column you do have, but of course your HTML has many other "columns" all of which have the class "column" ('.column') that you want it to work on as well.
Just to get the beginning of what you are trying to do, change all the selectors in smartColumn.js that say 'ul#column' to say 'ul.column' instead, and then alter the HTML so that the first "column" has a class="column" rather than an id="column".
That should solve the 100% wide columns at least.
That should solve your "Main" Problem. But there are other problems.

Livequery fires click no matter where the user clicks in the document

I have replaced the traditional select/option form elements with a nifty little popup window when a triggering image is clicked. The page is for accounting purposes and so multiple line items are to be expected. I've written the javascript that will dynamically generate new line item select/option elements. When the page loads, the initial set of choices loads and the user can click on them, get a pop up with some choices, choose one and then the box closes. The move to the next choice and so on and so forth. I've added livequery to my code for those dynamic elements. However... the livequery("click"...) seems to fire no matter where the user clicks on the page. Very frustrating.
I've read on here how great "live()" is in jQuery 1.3, but I am not able to upgrade fully to jquery 1.3 because a custom JS file depends on 1.2, so using live() is out of the question, however I have invoked the livequery() plugin and I really need to understand if I'm using it correctly.
I will post partial code. There's just way too much to post all of it.
Basically, I'm searching for divs starting with "bubble" and then a number afterwards. Then run the event on each them. Only bubble1 is static, 2 and up are dynamic. Am I missing the whole usage of livequery?
>$jb('div[id^="bubble"]').each(function () {
> var divid = $jb('div[id^="bubble"]').filter(":first").attr("id");
>var pref = "bubble";
>var i = divid.substring((pref.length));
>var trigger = $jb('#trigger' + i, this);
>var popup = $jb('#pop'+ i, this).css('opacity', 0);
>var selectedoption = $jb('selectedOption' + i, this);
>var selectedtext = $jb('selectedOptionText' + i, this);
>$jb([trigger.get(0), popup.get(0)]).livequery("click",
> function () {
>//alert(i);
// code removed for brevity (just the contents of the popups)
>});
Live works by using event delegation. A click event is attached to the body, and anytime something is clicked the selector is tested against the target. If it passes the selector test it calls the function (thus simulating a click event).
You probably want something like this:
$('div[id^="bubble"]').livequery("click", function() {
var divId = $(this).attr("id");
var i = divId.substring("bubble".length);
var trigger = $("#trigger" + i, this);
var popup = $("#pop" + i, this).css("opacity", 0);
// alert(i);
}
