I'm using the Angular UI Bootstrap typeahead to display a customized list of suggestions as the user types into a text input form control. This form control exists inside a div using jQuery slimScroll in order to maintain a constant div size despite the size of its contents fluctuating. I really hoped the typeahead would display over everything like a regular html select dropdown, but unfortunately it does not, as can be seen in this plunker. I've tried futzing around with the z-index and adjusting the position and display properties; all fruitless endeavors.
Does anybody know how to get the typeahead popup to display over its parent border? If not, is there a way I could coerce the select tag to display HTML content so I can include glyphicons, emphasized text, etc. in the list of suggestions?
The problem is with the slim scroll - you are inside a div with relative position and overflow hidden (think of it as an iFrame). There is a small workaround...
You could, essentially set the position of the generated UL (.dropdown-menu) to fixed, set a height for it, then set an overflow:scroll...
It would work in some scenarios where the input field has a fixed position... otherwise you'd need to control where the input is and adjust the position of the auto-complete to follow, and a whole other bunch of nasty scripts.
Without looking at your application, I cannot understand why your have this particular architecture, but I can say that there must be cleaner options for handling autocomplete outside of slimscroll.
I just set typeahead-append-to-body="true" on the typeahead control and it worked. Not sure exactly why, but it's certainly a simple solution.

I've been searching around (both on SO and around the web) to try to figure out how I can get the current height of the editor after the user has resized it. The TinyMCE 4.x docs don't show any kind of resizing event. When searching around I did come across the ResizeEditor event but that seems to apply only when objects within the editor are resized (which makes it seem like a poorly named event). Despite that, I tried to listen to the ResizeEditor event just to see and it does appear to fire whenever I resize the editor (though, I'm unsure if that's because the actual editor is resizing or because elements within the editor are getting resized, too. In any case, only the event object is passed in as an argument to the listener and I don't see any way to get the editor's current height (after the resize) from that event.
So, is there a way I can do this? To listen to the editor being resized and get its height?
thnx,
Christoph
You should be able to get the entire height of the editor (Menus, Toolbars, StatusBar, content area, etc) with code like this:
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContainer().clientHeight
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContainer().clientWidth
When you call tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContainer() you are getting the outermost div that contains all that makes up TinyMCE. From there it is just standard JavaScript to get the relevant dimensions of that element.
Here is an example: http://fiddle.tinymce.com/qigaab/18
I have a select menu on a responsive page, which is set with a fluid width (% value). Everything looks fine until i decrease the page size, when the default value of the select menu (i.e when it's not focussed or clicked on) becomes squashed in the container and overflows, causing part of the text to be hidden, like this. Ideally, this needs to be solved.
I was thinking of incoporarting a line-break, using CSS/Javascript whenever the text overflows. However, I can not think of an appropriate CSS property or JS method to do this on a select element. Does anyone have experience with this or know how to solve it? You don't need to use my suggestion, feel free to come up with something else. The main thing is the text needs to be shown in it's entirety all the time on any screen size.
I have a jsfiddle link here, which uses CSS animations to simulate the page size decreasing.
Ok im struggling to find anything on this as im probably searching the wrong keywords.
I have a backed form thats use to display content on a page. When entering the details i want to be able to use a basic text editor to style the text, like bold, bullets, underline.
On top of that i would also like to allow them to wrap section in paragraph tabs, apply a certain style i.e style id="x".
Its more for backend so it doesnt have to be really user friendly but if there was an uncomplicated way of showing the styles in the form as i apply them, basically a WYSIWYG view. If not i will settle for applying the styles without having to see all the hmtl and css tags in the editor but when the information is passed via the INSERT query it will show pass all the relevant code like My Style and so on.
Now im quite happy to spend the time learning how to do this if you point me in the right direction but i have no idea what keywords to search. Ideally if there is a script out there i can just edit to my needs would be great too rather than starting from scratch.
Finally since im learning php and mysql still keeping it dumbed down will help and also since my values im passing is going to be full of characters the code wont like what functions should i look up to pass the code and content into the database to avoid breaking the code
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it seems you can achieve what you want using an editor like for example TinyMCE in combination with JQuery?
With JQuery you can show/hide items and ander your css like
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","red");
});
I have a combo box that when I open it should show text like
However I get something like
with the scrollbar set to middle. Thing is sometimes for the same values it shows properly
and sometimes it shows from middle(for same value).
I want it to show properly like in the first image and I've tried a couple of things but with no succes.
itemSection.setHoverAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setTextAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
... and other irelevand stuff ...
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks alot!
If I am not getting wrong, You want to set your scrollbar at particular position. FOr that you need to ovverride the css of that and try to set scrollbar position to 0. So that your problem will get solved.
The problem with any kind of selections box is, that the boxes display and behave completely different across browsers. The older the browser the worse it handles long texts in selection boxes (some just truncate the text). I suggest to keep the displayed text as short as possible. That way you can avoid this problem.
If you really need long description, you can try to add a tooltip to every entry. Or use a different widget to make the select from, e.g. some custom widget in a separate dialog...
I've done the prerequisite searching of stackoverflow and looking on the internet. I suspect that the answer is ' This can't be done. ' but I'm hoping someone here might have a solution.
My page loads fine, but many of my YUI components don't fully load before being displayed. For example, my DataTable will resize itself when displaying or my buttons will appear in their native form and then get YUI-fied.
Is there a way to delay the displaying of the page until all the Javascript is finished (i.e. all my YUI components are finished rendering)? I don't know how this would happen, as a lot of the JS depends on the DOM being present to manipulate it.

If I understand correctly you would like to hide it until it's done?
If that's the case I have an idea:
add a wrapper around the element you
want to hide (or use
position:absolute to cover it)
give that div a background which use
the color of the surrounding with a
positive z-index
when all your javascript has loaded remove the
z-index or change the color of the background to transparent
Your javascript code would look like this:
do 1. and 2.
load your js
do 3.
Of course it needs to be synchrone.
As an alternative you could use visibility:hidden / visible on the element itself but I dunno for sure if it's well supported.
Try putting your Javascript in the head section of the page, as if it's near the end of the page, it'll load later (making the first elements load faster). OR, better yet, serve up your Javascript compressed and via a CDN, such as Amazon CloudFront so that it loads quickly.
