Attach event handler in chrome not working - events

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(

kendo grid works fine when javaScript alert exist but not working without javaScript alert

When I add a new row kendo ui grid it does not move to next page even I set page number dynamically.
But when there is a javaScrip alert it's working fine.
Has any one faced this issue before. Please suggest me a solution.
Thank you.
The problem is that when you add a new row there are a series of actions that happen in parallel and they are not immediate. If you try to move to the end but the row still is being created, if fails.
When you add an alert, you delay the fact of moving and creation now have time.
If you really need to do it, you can add a timeout (delay) it is not nice/clean but should work.
Do something like:
setTimeout(function() {
grid.page(3);
}, 500);
for introducing half second (500 ms) delay, should be enough.
We had sort of similar issue in IE - onchange fired twice with alert in the event handler. According to what you saying, it sounds like when the alert is NOT in you are getting correct behaviour. Review your code without having the alert in or post a fiddle. Below is an answer from Kendo support in regards to alerts while debugging. Do not use alerts with kendo to stay safe.
Basically this behavior is caused by using "alert" method for debugging purposes - please note that this is not recommended because it can lead to unexpected behavior when interacting with focusing elements. After replacing the "alert" method and with "debbuger" command or "console.log()" function the change event is working as expected - please check this screencast(http://screencast.com/t/7qIAdK6hZ5kD).
Hope it helps.

Interacting with VB6 client using hidden control in embedded web browser control

I'm having difficulty trapping a programmatically triggered click event on a hidden button control from a ASP.NET MVC 4 web app inside a VB6 thick client (which is using a web browser control). I'm able to trap the click event itself using the following:
Private WithEvents WebDoc As HTMLDocument
Private Function WebDoc_onclick() As Boolean
Select Case WebDoc.activeElement.iD
Case "A"
Do something
Case "C"
Do something else
End Select
WebDoc_onclick = True
End Function
And this works just fine if the control is visible. But if the control is invisible:
<div class="HideBtnDiv">
<input id="C" name="NoItems" type="button" class="BtnDiv" style="display:none"/>
</div>
and I try to trigger a programmatic click via one of the following:
$("#C").('click');
$("#C").trigger('click');
$("#C").triggerhandler("click");
$("#C").focus();
$("#C").trigger('click');
I'm getting an empty string for the "id" attribute and as a result I can't distinguish which button was clicked. This button serves no purpose other than to indicate to the VB6 app that a certain criteria has been met and that's the reason why I need it to be hidden. Does anyone have any idea why the id is getting stripped? Or is there any other way to communicate back to the client?
I've also tried filtering by element style using
Select Case WebDoc.activeElement.Style
Case "display:none"
Do something else
End Select
but it came back as "[Object]" so no luck there either. Please let me know if there is a way around this.
Thanks,
Lijin
You seem to have tried several ways of dynamically triggering the click event, but did you try the most obvious way:
$("#C").click();
???
But here is what I would do:
1- Make all of your buttons visible, by removing "display:none" from their style
2- Wrap the buttons you want to hide in a new DIV
3- Set "display:none" style in the newly created DIV
4- You can then trigger the .click() event of any button even if not visible by calling $(id).click();
Thanks, Ahmad. Actually I meant .click() not .('click'). Sorry about that.
Anyway, I tried your suggestion and made the button visible and set the style of the wrapping div to display:none but the id attribute was still coming through as an empty string.
However, I did figure out another way to get this to work. If I keep the wrapping div and button as visible and then focus and click when the condition is met and then do a hide(), my problem is resolved!
$("#C").focus();
$("#C").trigger('click');
$("#C").hide();
The button doesn't get displayed and VB6 still passes the id on the click event. The weird thing is it requires the focus() call to still be made. Without it, I'm back to square one. Not sure if this is a bug.

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.

jQuery Showing an Ajax loader during transmission & Prevent Multiple Submits

I have an app that has several different types of form elements which all post data to the server with jQuery AJAX.
What I want to do is:
Show a loader during AJAX transmission
Prevent the user from submitting twice+ (clicking a lot)
This is easy to do on a one off basis for every type of form on the site (comments, file upload, etc). But I'm curious to learn if that is a more global way to handle this?
Something that's smart enough to say:
If a form is submitting to the server and waiting for a response, ignore all submits
Show a DISABLED class on the submitted / clicked item
Show a loading class on the class="spinner" which is closest to the submit item clicked
What do you think? Good idea? Done before?
Take a look at the jQuery Global Ajax Event Handlers.
In a nutshell, you can set events which occur on each and every AJAX request, hence the name Global Event Handlers. There are a few different events, I'll use ajaxStart() and ajaxComplete() in my code sample below.
The idea is that we show the loading, disable the form & button on the ajaxStart() event, then reenable the form and hide the loading element inside the ajaxComplete() event.
var $form = $("form");
$form.ajaxStart(function() {
// show loading
$("#loading", this).show();
// Add class of disabled to form element
$(this).addClass("disabled");
// Disable button
$("input[type=submit]", this).attr("disabled", true);
});
And the AJAX complete event
$form.ajaxComplete(function() {
// hide loading
$("#loading", this).hide();
// Remove disabled class
$(this).removeClass("disabled");
// Re-enable button
$("input[type=submit]", this).removeAttr("disabled");
});
You might need to attach to the ajaxError event as well in case an AJAX call fails since you might need to clean up some of the elements. Test it out and see what happens on a failed AJAX request.
P.S. If you're calling $.ajax or similar ($.getJSON), you can still set these events via $.ajaxStart and $.ajaxComplete since the AJAX isn't attached to any element. You'll need to rearrange the code a little though since you won't have access to $(this).
I believe you have to do 2 for sure and 3 to improve usability of your app. It is better to keep backend dumb but if you have a security issue you should handle that too.

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.
