How to set overflow:hidden for dojo's dialog box - scroll

I'm using a dojo dijit dialog box to popup data for the lightbox effect.
The problem is that dojo dynamically changes the style attributes of "containerNode", so that if the box is bigger than the browser window a scroll bar appears. It sets "overflow:auto" dynamically.
I know this makes sense to do, but I want to override this and force the user to open up the browsers as the modal/lightbox looks really bad otherwise.
How can I change this behaviour? Sample code would be helpful!
Thanks

You can subscribe to 'show' method of your dialog and modify any styles you need.
dojo.connect(yourDialogWidget, "show", yourDialogWidget, function(){
dojo.style(this.containerNode, "overflow", "hidden");
});

Bootstrap tooltip doesn't hide when modal triggered if placement=body

I have a kendo grid which each row has an edit button. I am using Bootstrap to add a tooltip to the edit button, as well as other things. The edit button brings up a window to edit the attributes of the row model.
The tooltip kept getting cut off by the boundaries of the grid. To solve this I used placement=body when initializing the tooltips.
The problem I have now, is that the the tooltip does not hide if the button is clicked, and the editor window comes up. I tried changing the trigger to just be 'hover', but that did not help.
I tried doing ('[title]').tooltip('hide') in the edit event of the grid, but that doesn't seem to work at all.
I believe the problem has to do with 'edit' opening a kendo window. Because the other buttons with tooltips are fine, as they trigger a BootstrapDialog.
What happens is that the .tooltip has a z-index of 1070 while .modal has a z-index of 1050.
You can add the following to your css to ensure that .tooltip is displayed below .modal :
.modal{
z-index: 1071;
}
Of course, this means that you absolutely can't have a tooltip displayed from inside your modal, so this maybe doesn't suit your specific needs.
If that's the case, you should be able to add another class to your tooltip div and override the z-index on this class.
I'm well aware of the monkey-patch nature of this fix, but I've looked for a solution for this for weeks and couldn't find anything better.

Kendo UI Toolbar and Grid - strange save behavior when triggered from Toolbar control

I have some pages where I have a kendo ui grid (wired up to full CRUD services), but use a separate Kendo UI Toolbar control (as opposed to the toolbar configuration in the grid itself). I have a number of different buttons/menus on the toolbar, but am seeing a strange behavior when calling saveChanges() on the grid. If a cell is being edited when the save button is clicked, the grid is saved, but the edited value is lost (it reverts back to where it was). The following details what I see in different situations:
When using a save button configured in the grid (command: "save"), any changes in a cell being edited are committed with the save.
When using a plain html button that calls the saveChanges() method of the grid, any changes in a cell being edited are committed with the save.
When using a save button configured in a toolbar control, the changes in a cell being edited are LOST when saveChanges() is called.
The following jsbin shows the behavior of all three:
http://jsbin.com/jazobexatu/2/edit?html,js,output
I have tried calling the save from the toolbar button a number of different ways (even trying to trigger the click event of the external button), but nothing seems to correct the behavior. I also tried calling closeCell() on the grid (to try to force the value back into the data, but that doesn't work either). I haven't been able to debug the javascript enough to figure out what is different. I'm hoping someone with a deeper understanding of these controls can help me out.
For some reason, the mouse down event on the toolbar button doesn't cause a blur on the editor.
You can try it yourself by clicking in the cell to edit it, then click and hold the mouse button down on the "normal" button. The editor closes on mouse down, causing a blur of the editor, and persists the change.
If you do the same thing, click and hold mouse down, on the toolbar button, the editor stays open.
I've been poking through the source, but haven't figured out exactly why this happens. My best guess would be that the mousedown handler on the toolbar prevents the event from bubbling or running its default action and the editor doesn't blur.
Additional detail: On mousedown on the grid header button and the normal button, the focused element changes (which is what causes the editor blur). But on mousedown of the toolbar button, the editor input element still has the focus.
Shifting the focus on mousedown of the toolbar might be a workaround.
Sort of a weird hack, but this works in Chrome (any should in any browser that supports activeElement
click: function (e) {
$(document.activeElement).blur();
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").saveChanges();
}

NVD3 Charts not rendering correctly in hidden tab

I am building a page which contains many charts, which are displayed one at a time depending on which tab you are looking at.
The chart in the initially active tab renders correctly. However when I click to another tab, the chart is not rendered properly.
Presumably this is because the hidden field does not have dimensions until it is made visible. In fact if I resize the window the chart will correct it's proportions, and render so that it fills the available width.
I can fix this problem by explicitly defining the chart size via css, but this defeats the responsive aspect of the charts.
Can anyone tell me how to trigger the same NVD3 event which gets activated when the window resizes? That way I can bind it to the selection of a new tab, and hopefully remedy the rendering issue.
I had the same issue (charts on multiple tabs), and this is the only thing that I could get to work.
$(function () {
$(document).on('shown.bs.tab', 'a[data-toggle="tab"]', function (e) {
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
});
});
I have a feeling, however, that all of the charts are being re-rendered, regardless of whether they are on the active tab (visible) or in the non-selected tabs (hidden).
Does anyone know how to ensure ONLY the active chart gets resized / redrawn?
I figured out how to trigger the resize event I needed. In my case the tabs are driven by bootstrap. So I simply modified my bootstrap show tab event to trigger a page resize event as well. It's a little indirect, but it gets the job done:
jQuery('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
jQuery(this).tab('show')
jQuery(window).trigger('resize'); // Added this line to force NVD3 to redraw the chart
})
Just add this JavaScript:
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
})
hidden.bs.tab is the event that fires after a new tab is shown as per the Bootstrap docs. This code fires a resize event after each tab change.
Reason For New Answer
Vanilla Javascript is necessary for a lot of people in 2018. As a lot of frameworks and Javascript libraries that exist today do not play well with jQuery. Once upon a time answering all Javascript problems with a jQuery solution was acceptable but it is no longer feasible.
Problem
When loading C3.js or D3.js graphs, if the viewport is not actively in site during page load the graphs do not render correctly.
Example
If you type in the URL then open a new tab and then go back after your page loads.
If you refresh the page that has your graphs on it then minimize the browser and open it back up after the page has loaded.
If you refresh or go to the page with the graphs then swipe away to a new window on your computer. Then go back to the page with the graphs after they have loaded.
In all these cases your C3.js / D3.js graphs will not render correctly. Typically you will see a blank canvas. So if you were expecting a bar chart, you would see a canvas without the bars being drawn.
Background
Although I have seen this question answered I needed an answer that did NOT use jQuery. Now that we have reached the days of everything can not be fixed with jQuery I thought it seemed fit to provide a vanilla Javascript answer to this question.
My team faced the issue that the C3.js / D3.js graphs would not load if you refreshed the page and swiped away or minimized. Basically if you did not stay on the page and keep it in site till it was done loading you would not see the graphs till you resized the page again. I know this is a problem that happens to everyone using C3.js / D3.js but we are specifically using Lightning in Salesforce.
Answer
Our fix was to add this in the controller function that initializes the charts. Anyone can use this in any function they write to initialize their C3.js / D3.js graphs regardless of their stack. This is not Salesforce dependent but it does indeed work if you are facing this issue in Salesforce.
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
console.log(document.visibilityState);
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
});
I was facing same issue. I was using ng-show to make div hidden . Once I replaced ng-show with ng-if I am able to see graph drawn in expected behavior. Explanation:
When we use ng-show or ng-hide to make div hidden it only changes it display property but div will be in dom.
When we use ng-if div is removed from dom and again added to dom so internally it performs redraw operation on nvd3 graph too. Hence we see correct graph instead of squished one.
The event that usually triggers a redraw is the window resize event -- NVD3 doesn't use a custom event for this. You can control this yourself though; the usual definition is
nv.utils.windowResize(function() { d3.select('#chart svg').call(chart); });
(where "#chart" is the element that contains the graph). There's nothing stopping you triggering the code on another event or even just running the redraw code explicitly when you change the tab.
a more efficient approach would be to use the chart.update() method
var chart_x = nv.models.somechart()
var chart_y = nv.models.somechart()
..... show charts
jQuery('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
jQuery(this).tab('show')
if(jQuery(this)...something === '..x..')
chart_x.update(); //CALL THE UPDATE
else ...
})

How to make cell save when slickgrid looses focus

I have a SlickGrid with some Editors on a form with some buttons above it. (Save and Cancel). When i edit a cell in the grid and click the buttons above the grid - the cell does not commit it's edit. I've debugged and it is not calling : commitCurrentEdit. I've also tested on clicking an empty area anywhere out of the grid area...
Has anyone noticed this scenario and have a solution to get the cell to commit when one clicks out of the grid. Due to the various positions the grid good be in it would be hard to do an overlay.
Thanks
You can try this:
$("#buttonName").bind("click", function(){
gridName.getEditController().commitCurrentEdit()
});

dojo Show/Hide One ContentPane While Another ContentPane Is Liquid

I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.
