Div as Ajax.ActionLink - asp.net-mvc-2

Is it possible to create Ajax.ActionLink which has instead of text, the whole DIV?
I'd like to map div on Ajax.ActionLink

I don't think that this will work using the standard MVC Ajax scripts. I believe that the MVC javascript is created to use an <a> element by default. On a different note, embedding a div tag within an <a> is not valid XHTML. What are you trying to achieve?
Using Jquery is probably the easiet way you want to go. As an example:
<div onclick="SomeAjaxFunction()">some div content</div>
function SomeAjaxFunction()
{
$.get('<%= Url.Action("SomeAction", "InSomeController") %>', function(data) {
$('.result').html(data); // assuming a partial view
alert('Load was performed.');
});
}
However, if you are dead set on using MS Ajax, to work with divs, you need to possibly look at the Sys.Mvc.MvcHelpers._asyncRequest function and do some of your own re-wrapping to make it usable. I have not tried or tested this, so use at your own risk. (Stick with the Jquery, there is far better help and support available.)

Wrap H1-H6 Tags with Typo3 ParseFunc depending on the class set in RTE

I want to add inline-svgs to my h1 to h6 Tags depending on the class set in the RTE.
Example:
RTE:
<h1 class="icon--clock">Header</h1>
Output:
<h1 class="icon--clock"><svg>...</svg>Header</h1>
I've done something similar with links before, using the parseFunc Config. A method like this: https://wiki.typo3.org/External_links
Is there any way to access and split the tag and class like the link parameters through TypoScript?
I also tried using a userFunc
lib.parseFunc.userFunc = ...\MyClass->MyUserFunc
but in Params I only get the tag content, not the tag or the classes that have been set themselves.
I'm using Typo8 with the ckeditor, but I don't think that makes a difference.
Can I even do this?
How do I do this?
I know that I can alternatively add different header layouts and use the tt_content header field, because it's easier to manipulate the template there. But I'd love to know if there is a way to this in the RTE.
I think you could do it in typoscript, but that would be very complicated as you need to analyze the attributes of the Hn-tags.
A simpler method which came to mind would be: use CSS and ::before. So you can use a selector to the class to insert the matching SVG.
This also can be done with javascript but as CSS can do it it would be more efficient to use CSS.

How to use a custom template when extending the L.Control function?

When creating Leaflet maps, I currently programmatically add my menus and legends by extending the L.Control like so:
var overlaysMenuCtrl = L.Control.extend({
onAdd: function(map){
var container = L.DomUtil.create('div', 'legend');
container.innerHTML = '<div id="mainMenu"><ul><li>blah</li></ul>';
return container;
}
});
The problem is that my custom menus are massive and I hate having to write the innerHTML code like that.
Is there a way to use some kind of template from another file and write the code there and then call the variable like so:
container.innerHTML = myMenuTemplate;
Then, the template could be like:
<div>
<ul>
<li>A list item</li>
<li>and so on...</li>
</ul>
</div>
The problem is that if I do the above method, I have to minify and remove line breaks/white space/etc in the code and makes it rather tedious everytime I make updates. Thanks for any tips!
I would suggest Mustache for javascript
The script is available on CDN
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mustache.js/2.2.1/mustache.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
You can easily find some tutorials.
Here is an example with your data
EDIT:
Templates are useful to separate views and data.
If you don't really need templating but only an easy way to write your menus, you can just write them in invisible html elements that you access with
document.getElementById('menu1').innerHTML

Set class or ID on <h:inputHidden> in JSF

I'm trying to set a class or id parameter on a <h:inputHidden> in JSF. The code looks like this:
<h:inputHidden value="#{getData.name}" class="targ" />
But in the browser, the class isn't set:
<input type="hidden" name="j_idt6" value="j_idt6">
I need to set a class to this parameter, because I have a JavaScript autocomplete function for a <h:inputText> that sets a value in the hidden input, which needs to be passed in the next page.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I know it's a little bit late, but it can help someone in the future.
As inputHidden shows nothing in the browser there's no sense to allow it to have a class.
You can use the Id but as the Id could change as you change the component parents using it would bring some headache.
I'd suggest as a workaround, you can give it a parent so you can manipulate it by javascript.
Exemple:
JSF
<h:panelGroup styleClass="someCssClass">
<h:inputHidden id="someId" value="someValue" />
</h:panelGroup>
Javascript (using jQuery, you could use pure javascript also)
$('.someCssClass input[type=hidden]').val('yourNewValue');
None of these answers here satisfied my needs (need the PrimeFaces component, need class not ID, wrapping is too much work), so here's what I came up with:
Use pass-through attributes: https://www.primefaces.org/jsf-2-2-pass-through-attributes
Use pass:hidden-class="blah" (in my case, it's xmlns:pass up top)
Use [attribute=value] selector:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_attribute_value.asp
document.querySelector multiple data-attributes in one element
That basically boils down to using something like this (because h:inputHidden becomes a regular input): document.querySelector("input[hidden-class=" + blah + "]")
Please, see similar question - How can I know the id of a JSF component so I can use in Javascript
You can sed "id" property, but in final html code it can be not the same, but composite: for example, if your input with id="myhidden" is inside form with id="myform", final input will have id="myform:myhidden".
In the end, I used a standard HTML <input type="hidden"> tag, as I had no advantages for using the JSF one. If you're trying to set a value in a hidden input with JavaScript, I recommend using this workaround.

Prevent EPiServer from wrapping content in <p> tags

I'm working on a site in EPiServer, and whenever I create a page property with the type set to "XHTML string" (which uses the WYSIWYG content editor in Edit mode), it wraps all content in <p> tags.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I can't remove the paragraph margins universally through my CSS (e.g. p {margin: 0 !important;}) since I do need the margins for actual paragraphs of text. I've even tried going to the HTML source view in the editor and manually deleting the <p> tags that it generates, but it immediately adds them back in when I save!
It doesn't happen when the property type is either a long or short string, but that's not always an option since the content might contain images, dynamic controls, etc.
This is becoming a real nuisance since it's very hard to achieve the layout I need when basically every element on the page has extra margins applied to it.
As Johan is saying, they are there for a reason - see more info here. That being said, it's not impossible to remove them. It can be done in one of two ways (taken from world.episerver.com:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
myEditor.InitOptions["force_p_newlines"] = "false";
}
or
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
force_p_newlines: false
});
</script>
You can add your own custom TinyMCE-config that removes P-elements or strip them out using regular expressions either when saving the page or when rendering the property/page.
I think it's a bad idea though. P-elements are what the editors generate the most and in most cases their content is also semantically correct. Better to wrap your property in a div with a class and adjust margins using CSS like you mention.
If you're using a version of EPiServer with TinyMCE editors, you can insert <br /> elements instead of <p> elements if you type shift-enter instead of enter. This should eliminate your margin problems.
More info at the link below:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE_FAQ#TinyMCE_produce_P_elements_on_enter.2Freturn_instead_of_BR_elements.3F
EDIT: My comment below answers his question better.
I discovered that while I can't remove the <p> tags from the source view (because it adds them back in automatically), if I replace them with <div> tags, it'll leave things alone. It does mean that I've got an extra <div> wrapping some elements that I don't really need, but at least a <div> doesn't add margins like a <p> does, so...good enough!

Proper way to embed EXTJS in html

What is the recommended way to stick Extjs elements in your html?
At the moment I have
<div><script type='text/javascript'>
Ext.onReady(function(){
new Ext.grid.Panel({params...}).show();
})
</script></div>
But this feels very awkward ( Embedding script tags all over the place rankles my soul )
Components have a renderTo, but if the html element doesn't exist, - I think? ( not too sure about that ) - that the component still gets created.
It depends entirely on what you want to do, check out the learning centre on Sencha:
http://www.sencha.com/learn/
http://www.sencha.com/learn/components/
Usually you use a complete layout system, though if you want to attach to an existing element, such as a div you'll need something like renderTo.
