This is a mock of what I'm doing:
function loadPage(pn) {
$('#'+pn).live('pagecreate',function(event, ui){
$('#'+pn+'-submit').click( function() {
$.mobile.changePage({
url: 'page.php?parm=value',
type: 'post',
data: $('form#'+pn+'_form')
},'slide',false,false);
loadAjaxPages(pn);
});
});
function loadAjaxPages(page) {
// this returns the page I want, all is working
$.ajax({
url: 'page.php?parm=value',
type: 'POST',
error : function (){ document.title='error'; },
success: function (data) {
$('#display_'+page+'_page').html(data); // removed .page(), causing page to transition, but if I use .page() I can see the desired listview
}
});
}
in the ajax call return if I add the .page() (which worked in the past but I had it out side of the page function, changing the logic on how I load pages to save on loading times), make the page transition to the next page but I can see the listview is styled the way I want:
$('#display_'+page+'_page').html(data).page();
Removing .page() fixes the transition error but now the page does not style. I have tried listview('refresh') and even listview('refresh',true) but no luck.
Any thoughts on how I can get the listview to refresh?
Solution:
$.ajax({
url: 'page.php?parm=value',
type: 'POST',
error : function (){ document.title='error'; },
success: function (data) {
$('#display_'+page+'_page').html(data);
$("div#name ul").listview(); // add div wrapper w/ name attr to use the refresh
}
});
Be sure to call .listview on the ul element
If it didn't style earlier, you just call .listview(), bot the refresh function. If your firebug setup is correct, you should have seen an error message telling you that.
I didn't have time to get down to creating some code before you posted your fix, but here's a little recommendation from me:
if(data !== null){ $('#display_'+page+'_page').html(data).find("ul").listview() }
This is a bit nicer than a new global selector. Also - you don't need the div and you can provide a detailed selector if you have multiple ULs.
caution: the above code requires data !== null. If it's null - it will throw an error.
If you add items to a listview, you'll need to call the refresh() method on it to update the styles and create any nested lists that are added. For example:
$('#mylist').listview('refresh');
Note that the refresh() method only affects new nodes appended to a list. This is done for performance reasons. Any list items already enhanced will be ignored by the refresh process. This means that if you change the contents or attributes on an already enhanced list item, these won't be reflected. If you want a list item to be updated, replace it with fresh markup before calling refresh.

I have a little problem with my script here. For some reason, it doesn't enable the #-tags and I don't know why. I created this javascript using the help of this tutorial. (The loading of the pages works well with no problems at all.)
Could someone please look it over and tell me why it doesn't work?
var default_content="";
$(document).ready(function(){ //executed after the page has loaded
checkURL(); //check if the URL has a reference to a page and load it
$('ul li a').click(function (e){ //traverse through all our navigation links..
checkURL(this.hash); //.. and assign them a new onclick event, using their own hash as a parameter (#page1 for example)
});
setInterval("checkURL()",250); //check for a change in the URL every 250 ms to detect if the history buttons have been used
});
var lasturl=""; //here we store the current URL hash
function checkURL(hash)
{
if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash; //if no parameter is provided, use the hash value from the current address
if(hash != lasturl) // if the hash value has changed
{
lasturl=hash; //update the current hash
loadPage(hash); // and load the new page
}
}
function loadPage(url) //the function that loads pages via AJAX
{
// Instead of stripping off #page, only
// strip off the # to use the rest of the URL
url=url.replace('#','');
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible'); //show the rotating gif animation
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_page.php",
data: 'page='+url,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0) //if no errors
{
$('#content').html(msg); //load the returned html into pageContet
} $('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');//and hide the rotating gif
}
});
}
You can simplify this immensely by adding a function to listen to the hashchange event, like this:
$(window).on("hashchange", function() {
loadPage(window.location.hash);
});
This way you don't need to deal with timers or overriding click events on anchors.
You also don't need to keep track of lasthash since the hashchange even will only fire when the hash changes.
I was looking at Emberjs recently and found this useful article written by one of its main contributors: Advice on & Instruction in the Use Of Ember.js
It walked me through an example which fetch a list of user data from a server and render them on screen. I'll briefly explain how it worked:
The app contacts the server to fetch a list of user data though ajax
call.
At the end of the ajax call an empty enumerable is returned
immediately, which is later used as a property of a controller.
Once the ajax call is completed, it populates the enum with data which
in turns update the controller's property, and finally triggers an
automatic re-rendering.
This works fine as long as the list is not revisited. As a user revisit the list, say he/she navigates to another state and then comes back, the logic will be triggered again, fetching the data from server and populates the list. However, the list this time is not empty! Thus we have a list of duplicated data. I would like to resolve this by clearing the content of the list when the ajax call is successful. Below is the code for the ajax call:
allAwesomebergs: [],
fetch: function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/emberjs/ember.js/contributors',
dataType: 'jsonp',
context: this,
success: function(response) {
response.data.forEach(function(awesomeberg){
this.allAwesomebergs.addObject(App.Awesomeberg.create(awesomeberg))
}, this);
}
});
return this.allAwesomebergs;
},
The above code does not clear the content of the list. I tried adding a line "allAwesomebergs = []" at the beginning of the success function, but what I got was just a blank screen. I thought I may not be doing this correctly, but I looked at the document from Ember and didn't see anything about clearing the content of an Enumerable.
Thus the question is: what is the easiest way to resolve this duplicate loading issue? Clearing the content before hand seems the most obvious but I can't make it work.
You can call clear() before you start adding the new objects. See this documentation.
New code would be:
allAwesomebergs: [],
fetch: function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/emberjs/ember.js/contributors',
dataType: 'jsonp',
context: this,
success: function(response) {
this.allAwesomebergs.clear();
response.data.forEach(function(awesomeberg){
this.allAwesomebergs.addObject(App.Awesomeberg.create(awesomeberg))
}, this);
}
});
return this.allAwesomebergs;
},
I think your approach was ok, but it should have been:
this.allAwesomebergs = []
It is all about the this in front of it. So clear is not needed here.
I am using jQuery Address plugin, and all my ajax navigation is based on it, and more precisely on internalChange or externalChange events like that
$(document).ready(function() {
initDeepLinking();
});
function linkClicked(e){
var request = $.ajax({
url: e.path,
data: e.queryString,
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
});
request.done(handleResponse);
return false;
}
function handleResponse(response, textStatus, jqXHR){
$('#main').html(response.responseText);
};
function initDeepLinking(){
$.address.internalChange(function(event){
linkClicked(event);
});
$.address.externalChange(function(event){
linkClicked(event);
});
}
so when i click on a link leading to the current page, nothing happens.
I would like the page to reload when I do that. Any simple options ?
Thanks !
I am having troubles understanding what your question really is:
you don't know how to attach a handler to the link
you don't know what statement can be used to refresh the current page
In order to set a handler you can use some selector. For example, getting the element by class. More about jquery selectors here.
After you have the element, you can attach an event handler for the 'on click' event and do something like this:
window.location.reload(true);
Well this has me well and truly stumped. After searching for the last few hours I still cannot seem to work out where I am going wrong.
I am trying to append an AJAX response to a container when it gets clicked. That works fine but I don't want it to append another object when the elements from the AJAX response also gets clicked.... so:
<div id="container">
<!-- AJAX response to get inserted here, for example -->
<span id="ajaxResponse"></span>
</div>
Here is my script:
$('#container').click(function(e) {
var current_el = $(this).get(0);
$.ajax({
url: 'text.html',
success: function(data) {
$(current_el).append(data);
}
});
return false;
});
So it works fine but for some reason the click event on #container also fires when I click on the AJAX response span!?
According to jQuery documentation:
To stop further handlers from
executing after one bound using
.live(), the handler must return
false. Calling .stopPropagation() will
not accomplish this.
But unless I am mistaken, I am calling false? :(
Anyone help me out on this?
UPDATED:
So the only way I can get it to work is by updating my code to this:
$('#container').live('click', function() {
var current_el = $(this).get(0);
$.ajax({
url: 'text.html',
success: function(data) {
$(current_el).append(data);
}
});
});
$('#ajaxResponse').live('click', function(e) {
return false;
});
This seems a little messy though... anyone have a better solution?
Where is live part you mention in the title of the question ?
It is how the event model works.. If you click on element which does not handle the event, the event will travel up the DOM hierarchy until it finds an element that handles the click (and stops its propagation..). Otherwise you would not be able to put an image inside a <a> tag and click on it..
You can bind a canceling handler on the inner element assuming you have someway to target it..
$.ajax({
url: 'text.html',
success: function(data) {
$(current_el).append(data);
// assuming the returned data from ajax are wrapped in tags
$(current_el).children().click(function(){ return false;});
}
});
I think the return false is referring to something else in this case...
you should try calling stopPropagation() - this should stop the "click" function from propagating down to the ajaxResponse span....
One option that you may want to try is switching over to using live(). Essentially, the click event you setup is calling bind(), and the solution you referenced is using live() which is a variation on bind().
For example:
$('#container').live("click", function(e) {
var current_el = $(this).get(0);
$.ajax({
url: 'text.html',
success: function(data) {
$(current_el).append(data);
}
});
return false;
});

I have a jQuery application, a shopping cart, that posts back info to the server, if the text inputfield is changed. This is done in an Ajax request. Now, if the Ajaxrequest is a success, I want to reload the shoppingcart asynchronously. The code is as follows:
$(document).ready(function() {
var jInput = $(":input");
jInput.change(function() {
var vareAntal = $(this).val();
var vareID = $(this).siblings("input#vareID").val();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'checkout.aspx',
data: { 'ID': vareID, 'Antal': vareAntal },
success: function() {
$("#newbasket").load(location.href + " #newbasket>*", "");
}
});
});
});
This works, but only once! If I change the text inputfield, after the page is loaded for the first time, the div with the ID of newbasket reloads asynchronously. But if I try to change it again, nothing happens.
I've tried to do some debugging with Firebug, and the first time I change the text inputfield, it fires a POST-event, and afterwards a GET-event, when the POST-event is succesful. But after that, nothing happens when I change the text inputfield again.
So, how do I achieve triggering the .load() method after each text input change?
I've also tried experimenting with the .ajaxComplete() function, but that, of course, resulted in an infinite loop, since the .load() is an ajax-object.
Instead of .change(func), use .live('change', func) here, like this:
jInput.live('change', function() {
This will make the selector work on any new inputs added as well. When you're replacing the elements like you are currently, their event handlers are lost (or rather, not re-created, because you have new elements). .live() is just for this purpose, it listens for events from old and new elements, regardless of when they were added.
