JqModal AjaxText not appearing - coffeescript

I have a delegated popup that is designed to display a modal on tablets and phones. Unfortunately, the modal appears to wait until the ajax call to #href is complete before it displays anything. From the docs it appears the modal should pop up with ajaxText filled in during the ajax call, but I see nothing until the popup suddenly appears. The call is predictably long enough (~5sec in development) that I know there isn't a chance that the loader isn't appearing for a split-second.
$('a.word').on(touchstart: touchWordPopup)
The following is in CoffeeScript, but follows convention from the official docs.
touchWordPopup: (event) ->
event.preventDefault()
// another function handles mouse hover popups,
// so let's disable that stuff.
$(this).off('mouseover mouseenter mouseleave')
$('#popup').jqm(
closeClass: 'close'
ajax: #href
ajaxText: '<h2>Loading...</h2>'
modal: true
).jqmShow()
HTML:
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>
<div class='subscription'>
<a href="/words/foo" class='word'>Foo</a>
<!-- several more words... -->
</div>
<div id='popup' class='jqmWindow'></div>
</body>
</html>
I'm wondering whether delegation or CoffeeScript could be to blame, but I can't tell where the problem might be fixed.

The CoffeeScript is not to blame.
I've released jqModal 1.3.0, which immediately shows (displays) ajax enabled modals.
Documentation has been updated, and I've included an example (#5) to test for slower remote responses.
Because the equivalent of jqmShow() is now triggered immediately, if your ajax response includes elements that match closeClass, they will never attach. This is best corrected by patching jqModal and binding the event handler to the modal iteself, but for now you can use onLoad:
onLoad: function(hash){
var modal = hash.w;
$(hash.o.closeClass, modal).click(function(){
modal.jqmClose();
return false;
});
}

How to getBodyElement() in RootLayoutPanel GWT

I want to make a progress bar before my application starts.
Here the code from my html page
<body>
<div id="appLoading">
<img src="images/bar.gif" />
</div>
...
</body>
And later on the client side I wrote
DOM.removeChild(RootPanel.getBodyElement(), DOM.getElementById("appLoading"));
But now I'm using RootLayoutPanel and it doesn't have getBodyElement() method. So help me please explain how to remove my progress bar now.
You don't need to remove it. When you attach a RootLayoutPanel (after your app is loaded and starts), it will take over the entire browser screen, and your progress bar (and any other HTML in your host page) won't be visible.
If, for some reason, you still need to get the BodyElement, you can do it by calling
Document.get().getBody();

Magnific Popup - Popup disappearing on click

I've just recently implemented the 'Magnific Popup' and the popup comes up fine, however when I click an input box the entire popup disappears back to the parent page. On the examples shown on the plugin website, the entire dialog box is clickable until you click outside of that box.
I'm hoping its just something extremely simple I've missed, but it's still doing my head in.
I really appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks :)
If you're using "ajax" content type, you need to make sure that you've got only one root node.
http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html#ajax_type
E.g., this is correct contents of ajax file:
<div>
html content
<script src="something.js"></script>
</div>
Incorrect:
<script src="something.js"></script>
<div>
html content
</div>
Incorrect:
<div>
html content
</div>
<div>Another content</div>
Also make sure that closeOnContentClick is set to false http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html#closeoncontentclick
If, for whatever reason, you can't change the contents of ajax file, you may parse content in parseAjax callback, like described here (so the mfpResponse.data contains only one root node).
I can't reply yet (too low rep..) so adding it like this:
seems that this also counts for type: 'inline'. Safe to always wrap content by a div..
$.magnificPopup.open({
items: {
src: '<div>'+ html +'</div>'
},
type: 'inline',
closeOnContentClick: false
}, 0);
I had the same error.
Turned out to be a dumb mistake from my side, i had the same class on my opener and my inline div.
Open
<div id="popup" class="dialog mfp-hide"></div>
Of course they needed to be different classes like so:
Open
<div id="popup" class="dialog-box mfp-hide"></div>
Dmitry explains the problem here https://github.com/dimsemenov/Magnific-Popup/issues/34
Add modal:true in the magnificPopup:
$('.your_class').magnificPopup({
type: 'ajax',
modal:true
});

jquery mobile <a> onclick javascript function does fire

This button
<a href='#' onclick='update_status()' data-role='button' data-icon='check' >update</a>
Never fires the JavaScript function on iPhone, however does on my desktop (Chrome, Firefox). I tried to assign a "bind" on pageinit, never fires as well.

jqtouch go back after form submiting

I'm using jQtouch to build a page where the user can enter a kind of an ID and
get information (exam result) for this ID.
Because I take the results from the server, I used a form in the first page
with a text field and a submit button, and the action of this form send the user to the next page. Or at least, supposed to...
The problem is that also I'm being transferred to page with the results, and see the results properly, the Back button do nothing! BTW, in the address bar (above) I still see the name of the first page.
How can I go back to the "form" page? Thanks
<div class="current" id="byUserId">
<div class="toolbar">
<a class="back" id="goBack" > Back</a>
<h1> Exam Results</h1>
</div> ...
where the id="goBack" has a javascript:
$(function() {
$('#goBack').click(function() {
location.href = "enterId.jsp";
});
});
Using the regular back doesn;t work either:
<a class="back" href="#"> Back</a>
I now this is pretty late, but I had a similar frustrations and finally figured it out. The problem is that jQTouch intercepts all AJAX and form submit commands and safely send them itself. This isn't a problem except for when it's expecting some sort of callback, and there isn't one. In my case, I wanted to submit a form without a callback. To do this, look in the jqtouch.js library (around line 434) and comment out the following line:
if (href != '#') {
$.ajax({
url: href,
data: settings.data,
type: settings.method,
success: function (data) {
**// var firstPage = insertPages(data, settings.animation);**
This basically just tells jQTouch to submit the AJAX call but do nothing afterwards (don't change div's, don't show any callbacks and don't do any animations). Hope this helps.

:active pseudo-class doesn't work in mobile safari

In Webkit on iPhone/iPad/iPod, specifying styling for an :active pseudo-class for an <a> tag doesn't trigger when you tap on the element. How can I get this to trigger? Example code:
<style>
a:active {
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<!-- snip -->
Click me
<body ontouchstart="">
...
</body>
Applied just once, as opposed to every button element seemed to fix all buttons on the page. Alternatively you could use this small JS library called 'Fastclick'. It speed up click events on touch devices and takes care of this issue too.
As other answers have stated, iOS Safari doesn't trigger the :active pseudo-class unless a touch event is attached to the element, but so far this behaviour has been "magical". I came across this little blurb on the Safari Developer Library that explains it (emphasis mine):
You can also use the -webkit-tap-highlight-color CSS property in combination with setting a touch event to configure buttons to behave similar to the desktop. On iOS, mouse events are sent so quickly that the down or active state is never received. Therefore, the :active pseudo state is triggered only when there is a touch event set on the HTML element—for example, when ontouchstart is set on the element as follows:
<button class="action" ontouchstart=""
style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);">
Testing Touch on iOS
</button>
Now when the button is tapped and held on iOS, the button changes to the specified color without the surrounding transparent gray color appearing.
In other words, setting an ontouchstart event (even if it's empty) is explicitly telling the browser to react to touch events.
In my opinion, this is flawed behaviour, and probably dates back to the time when the "mobile" web was basically nonexistent (take a look at those screenshots on the linked page to see what I mean), and everything was mouse oriented. It is interesting to note that other, newer mobile browsers, such as on Android, display `:active' pseudo-state on touch just fine, without any hacks like what is needed for iOS.
(Side-note: If you want to use your own custom styles on iOS, you can also disable the default grey translucent box that iOS uses in place of the :active pseudo-state by using the -webkit-tap-highlight-color CSS property, as explained in the same linked page above.)
After some experimentation, the expected solution of setting an ontouchstart event on the <body> element that all touch events then bubble to does not work fully. If the element is visible in the viewport when the page loads, then it works fine, but scrolling down and tapping an element that was out of the viewport does not trigger the :active pseudo-state like it should. So, instead of
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body ontouchstart></body></html>
attach the event to all elements instead of relying on the event bubbling up to the body (using jQuery):
$('body *').on('touchstart', function (){});
However, I am not aware of the performance implications of this, so beware.
EDIT: There is one serious flaw with this solution: even touching an element while scrolling the page will activate the :active pseudo state. The sensitivity is too strong. Android solves this by introducing a very small delay before the state is shown, which is cancelled if the page is scrolled. In light of this, I suggest using this only on select elements. In my case, I am developing a web-app for use out in the field which is basically a list of buttons to navigate pages and submit actions. Because the whole page is pretty much buttons in some cases, this won't work for me. You can, however, set the :hover pseudo-state to fill in for this instead. After disabling the default grey box, this works perfectly.
Add an event handler for ontouchstart in your <a> tag. This causes the CSS to magically work.
<a ontouchstart="">Click me</a>
This works for me:
document.addEventListener("touchstart", function() {},false);
Note: if you do this trick it is also worth removing the default tap–highlight colour Mobile Safari applies using the following CSS rule.
html {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
As of Dec 8, 2016, the accepted answer (<body ontouchstart="">...</body>) does not work for me on Safari 10 (iPhone 5s): That hack only works for those elements that were visible on page load.
However, adding:
<script type='application/javascript'>
document.addEventListener("touchstart", function() {}, false);
</script>
to the head does work the way I want, with the downside that now all touch events during scrolling also trigger the :active pseudo-state on the touched elements. (If this is a problem for you, you might consider FighterJet's :hover workaround.)
//hover for ios
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: #ccc;
This works for me, add to your CSS on the element that you want to highlight
Are you using all of the pseudo-classes or just the one? If you're using at least two, make sure they're in the right order or they all break:
a:link
a:visited
a:hover
a:active
..in that order. Also, If you're just using :active, add a:link, even if you're not styling it.
For those who don't want to use the ontouchstart, you can use this code
<script>
document.addEventListener("touchstart", function(){}, true);
</script>
I've published a tool that should solve this issue for you.
On the surface the problem looks simple, but in reality the touch & click behaviour needs to be customized quite extensively, including timeout functions and things like "what happens when you scroll a list of links" or "what happens when you press link and then move mouse/finger away from active area"
This should solve it all at once: https://www.npmjs.com/package/active-touch
You'll need to either have your :active styles assigned to .active class or choose your own class name. By default the script will work with all link elements, but you can overwrite it with your own array of selectors.
Honest, helpful feedback and contributions much appreciated!
I tried this answer and its variants, but none seemed to work reliably (and I dislike relying on 'magic' for stuff like this). So I did the following instead, which works perfectly on all platforms, not just Apple:
Renamed css declarations that used :active to .active.
Made a list of all the affected elements and added pointerdown/mousedown/touchstart event handlers to apply the .active class and pointerup/mouseup/touchend event handlers to remove it. Using jQuery:
let controlActivationEvents = window.PointerEvent ? "pointerdown" : "touchstart mousedown";
let controlDeactivationEvents = window.PointerEvent ? "pointerup pointerleave" : "touchend mouseup mouseleave";
let clickableThings = '<comma separated list of selectors>';
$(clickableThings).on(controlActivationEvents,function (e) {
$(this).addClass('active');
}).on(controlDeactivationEvents, function (e) {
$(this).removeClass('active');
});
This was a bit tedious, but now I have a solution that is less vulnerable to breakage between Apple OS versions. (And who needs something like this breaking?)
A solution is to rely on :target instead of :active:
<style>
a:target {
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<!-- snip -->
<a id="click-me" href="#click-me">Click me</a>
The style will be triggered when the anchor is targeted by the current url, which is robust even on mobile. The drawback is you need an other link to clear the anchor in the url. Complete example:
a:target {
background-color: red;
}
<a id="click-me" href="#click-me">Click me</a>
<a id="clear" href="#">Clear</a>
No 100% related to this question,
but you can use css sibling hack to achieve this as well
HTML
<input tabindex="0" type="checkbox" id="145"/>
<label for="145"> info</label>
<span> sea</span>
SCSS
input {
&:checked + label {
background-color: red;
}
}
If you would like to use pure html/css tooltip
span {
display: none;
}
input {
&:checked ~ span {
display: block;
}
}
