How can I automatically refresh the page (with JS/jQuery) whenever the user resizes the window ?
(it must sound like a weird thing to do but I have a good reason to want this : in summary, Dailymotion videos cannot be resized by JS dynamically as YouTube videos can, but their size can be set by JS based on the window size)
window.onresize = function(){window.location.reload();}
In some browsers the resize event is triggered continually while resizing, so you need a debounced event. When that event goes off, there are many ways to refresh the page.

So in my app, I create an additional page. When that page is opened, it will guide a user through a series of steps, that ultimately open a webview pointing to a URL in backend, that generates an image to be saved to the server. The user doesn't need to know what's being drawn in the webview, so the webview can be set invisible (opacity = 0.0).
The image can only be generated by that web page (which is why I have to open it with webview). This is a client-side javascript and HTML5 canvas process that can't be done by server-side code alone. There's actually a web page that has to be opened. And all the Flutter code need to do is to open the webview component long enough for the image to be created and automatically saved into the server.
The problem is, the process may take dozens of seconds. In my case, it takes like 7-12 seconds. And the user may press back on the page that unfortunately will close the webview too and cancel the image generation and submission. I already added an infinite circular progress indicator, but apparently, from the early user tests, some users weren't patient enough to wait that long and already pressed back before the image is finished rendering.
My question is, how can I create a webview detached from the current screen, so that even after the current screen is closed, the webview will still be running in the background?
Currently, I use flutter_webview_plugin: ^0.3.11 for this. It allows for launching webview popup that's hidden. But when I close the page, the invisible webview popup also gets closed too.
Combine Offstage widget with custom pop logic (instead of popping back, just hide the webview by setting bool offstage to true).
As per Offstage docs:
A widget that lays the child out as if it was in the tree, but without
painting anything, without making the child available for hit testing,
and without taking any room in the parent.
Offstage children are still active: they can receive focus and have
keyboard input directed to them.
Animations continue to run in offstage children, and therefore use
battery and CPU time, regardless of whether the animations end up
being visible.

I am using Wordpress, with a plugin called "Visual Portfolio" It has a feature that allows some of the content to load, then when you scroll down, it loads more portfolio thumbnail content, like an infinite scroll feature for pagination.
The problem is, this makes it so if content is loaded dynamically, when they go to a portfolio item, then press back, the content is not loaded in the same way, and they can't easily go to another portfolio item, without scrolling down again.
Is there any way to solve this, so when they press back, it loads the page the way it was when they were their before?
Thank you for your attention on this
I've just started on a new project of my own.
What I would like to do is, on large screens, having a button activating a modal window BUT, on smaller screen (mobiles), I would like that modal window to become an off canvas section and when the button is clicked, the off canvas slides in from the side. Within that modal/off canvas part, there will be a form to fill out. (there will actually be multiple buttons that will need to activate the feature. Think something like multiple thumbnails with each a button to let viewers add comments)
I'm using Bootstrap 3 as my base framework. I would like to minimise the javascript (jQuery) functionalities but I understand I can't completely.
Questions I have,
do I have to create two HTML sections, one for the modal and one for the off canvas and then programatically hide/show according screen size?
Would it be best to create the form and then thru javascript, add the proper HTML around it according screen size? (though I think this option would be a tough to implement as my javascript skills are "advance beginner" at best)
How would I make the same button switch activation of the modal window or the off canvas form?
It seems to me that I need to detect screen size, no matter how I do the above, what would be the best way to detect the screen size, the safest and surest way?
Thanks for any insights you guys might have on this.
You will have to show code in your questions here, so i also vote to close your question.

Angular JS decouples Twitter's Bootstrap from javascript. See: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/

Take a look to the Responsive Utilities: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities
The screen detection of Twitter's Bootstrap is based on CSS media queries.

To give the same button different function based on sceensize you will need javascript / jQuery. See: Get the size of the screen, current web page and browser window you also could consider to use something like enquire.js, see also http://bassjobsen.weblogs.fm/responsive-banner-ads-2/
Or create two buttons and hide / show them with the the Responsive Utilities.
I am using addthis thirdparty tool for facebook and twitter like button , The twitter like button rendering parallely with the page but facebbok button renders a bit late, after the whole page, I am using it like that :
a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:href="#"
Is there a way for rendering it same time with the whole page ?
Unfortunately, it isn't possible to guarantee when the buttons will be rendered. All the buttons will load at different times depending on how fast the resources (JS/CSS) are loaded and how quickly the code executes to render the buttons. This is done to make sure your page always load and doesn't get blocked by the buttons loading. The reverse could happen where Twitter loads slowly and Facebook loads quickly. Is there a functional reason for wanting them to load at the same time? If so, you could "hide" the div containing all the buttons and then have them all appears after a certain amount of time to increase the likelihood that all buttons have been rendered. I hope that makes sense.
I have a webview and want to drag the url on the webview to a textlabel.
I know there is the option of 'Copy', but I prefer to do as the dragdrop function in normal computer.
Is this possible for iphone app?
Welcome any comment
Thanks

I am assuming you want to drag&drop a hyperlink from an HTML page rendered in a UIWebView control to another control on the screen.
Unfortunately I doubt that this is trivial, if at all possible. There is no documented way to find out if a UIControlEventTouchDown event received by a UIWebView object is hitting a rendered hyperlink and discover that hyperlink's URL.
If you were able to do that, you would still have to create and show a custom view that would track touchesMoved and touchesEnded to know when the user drops it, and if it falls on the intended destination control.
