What's the deal with the MIT license, is complying with it really as simple as just including the license?

If you didn't see it, jQuery is going to be integrated with ASP.NET in the near future, including IntelliSense in Visual Studio.

Both Microsoft and Nokia have announced they are integrating it with their development environments.

And within a few days of using jquery, I have filed my first bug .

If an element is positioned using the css "bottom" property, then jquery.ui.draggable() is applied to it, the bottom will remain fixed while you drag it around. It's not the most common use case, but it's hurting me right now.

Still way better off for using jquery than I would be without it though

Is there some way to insert conditionals into one of these jquery chains? I'm using the jquery html canvas plugin to draw a curved box around an element like this:

code:

$("#myCanvasElement").polygon(
         [0, 0],
         [
         ['moveTo', [ntr, nt]],
         ['quadraticCurveTo', [nr, nt], [nr, ntt]],
         ['lineTo', [nr, ntb]],
         ['quadraticCurveTo', [nr,nb], [ntr, nb]],
         ['lineTo', [ntl, nb]],
         ['quadraticCurveTo', [nl, nb], [nl, ntb]],
         ['lineTo', [nl, ntt]],
         ['quadraticCurveTo', [nl, nt], [ntl, nt]],
         ['lineTo', [ntr, nt]]
         ],
         { 'fill': true, 'stroke': true, 'close': true },
         {
             'fillStyle': 'rgba( 150, 195, 150, .9)',
             'strokeStyle': 'rgba( 0, 0, 0, 1)',
             'lineWidth': 1
         }
         );

I want it to be a "speech bubble" with one corner pointing to a point on screen, but the corner chosen depends on the relation of this element's position to that point. Is there some way for me to toss a conditional into the middle of this chain?

Edit: Oh crap, forgot that I'd switched to this "polygon" function that isn't even a chain. Ugh.

Why dont you prepare some variables with the location of the tail thingo, and *then* use your canvas to do it.

Or just not nest it.

quote:

canvasArea.style(style).beginPath().moveTo([tr, t]).drawCorner([r, t], [r, tt]) is undefined

Dromio posted:

I don't really like using the switch() to determine the relation of the target to the bubble, but it's the best I could come up with.

Woah look what I found....

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jqcouch

CouchDB bindings for jQuery.

I genuinely think schemaless databases like couch are the future, but looking at that, holy poo poo would couch make a loving amazing local end store for offline JS apps.

Some sort of setTimeOut() call maybe?

KuruMonkey posted:

Of course you should be using setTimeout.

Dromio posted:

I'm still a little shaky in javascript, so I plead ignorance. When I asked, I was (mistakenly) led to believe that setTimeout only took strings. I learned the truth and implemented it properly.

On the other hand, having to chain setTimeout inside setTimeout inside setTimeout in order to simulate a mouse-click then typing text is UGLY

KuruMonkey posted:

2; chaining whaaaaa? Example and context/reason/rationale for doing this please?!?

Dromio posted:

Less "chaining" than nesting, so I could have it pause appropriately between each step.

code:

  setTimeout(function() {
    ...
    setTimeout(function() {
        ...
        setTimeout(function() {
            ...

I needed to move the "cursor.png" to the textbox, blink it black then back to indicate a click, then start typing the text out char by char. I can't copy+paste the code right now, but here's pseudocode what it ended up like:

code:

cursor.animate({top:toY, left:toX},animMovementTime, function() {
  cursor.attr("src", "blackcursor.png");
  //playsound click
  setTimeout(function() {
    cursor.attr("src", "whitecursor.pnh");
    setTimeout(function() {
      //play typing sound
      //while there is a character left to type
        setTimeout(function() {
            //get letter
            //type letter, etc.
    

Then close all the setTimeout calls with the appropriate delays.

That was good practice. Heh, kinda forgot this was the jQuery thread though, I intentionally took out my little $ and map helpers. It's neat what you can do when functions are objects.

I'm gonna go ahead and steal that, got a name/url or email you want in the source for, like, credit due and such?

Couldn't you accomplish something similar with the decorator pattern?

Is this pretty much the JavaScript questions thread now, or should I start a separate JavaScript/ECMAScript thread?

LOLLERZ posted:

A separate one will probably fare better.

I think it would be fine to put regular javascript questions in here. The topic isn't that different and the people who read this thread should be able to give you good answers.

I have a report that generates a big table of stuff. I have added columns to show hourly data, so that's 24 extra columns. Now the table is quite wide, so I wanted to have those hour columns hidden by default, and have a toggle to show/hide them. The problem is my implementation executes very very slowly and even makes the browser appear to be frozen for some seconds.

Every table cell I want to toggle has the class 'hour'.

code:

$("#hourToggle").click(function(){
	
	if ($(this).text() == '>>')
	{
		$(".hour_block").toggle();
		$(this).text('<<').blur();
	}
	else
	{
		$(".hour_block").toggle();
		$(this).text('>>').blur();
	}
	return;
}); 	

Is there a better faster way to do this?
