JQuery :: Re-creating A Desktop Application As A Web-app?
May 10, 2010
It's not something that's ever really come up before, but I'm re-creating a desktop application as a web-app and I'm coming across a number of places where:1. A select box may be pre-filled with data from a database, and2. Changing that select box affects the rest of the page.I'm looking for a neat way to perform an action that could happen when the page loads, and/or when the select changes. Knowing my luck it's something stupidly easy.For example, some code that is currently in progress:
switch($('option:selected',$transaction).text()){ // On Load
case 'Comparable': case 'For Sale / To Let':
$.each($priceFields, function(){
I just came across following demo application: [URL] I have a few questions about this:What is the right approach to start a project, which have heavy use of JS? how to choose which library is best, or one should develop his own library specific to requirements to keep the file size smaller?
I 'm working on a menu which imitates a desktop application menu toolbar (like this on your firefox ).Here's a demo[1] The menu is an <ul> containing <li> elements and <ul>s for sub-navigation.[2] User clicks the top-nav <li> with the arrow indicator and sub-menu pops out.[3] By clicking again the sub-menu hides.[4] Also by clicking outside the top-nav <ul>, a visible sub-menu hides (i used focusout event for this one).[5] Last one, a usability enhancement. Once a user clicks a top-nav <li> element with arrow indicator, he doesn't have to click again the rest <li>s with sub-nav. For instance, in the demo, if i click "Articles" and the menu pops out i shouldn't have to click "Games" in order to display it's own sub-nav.I'm having problems with [2]-[3], like arrow flickering as i click but before releasing the mouse button.umber [5] is a big mystery to me, i 'm not at this level right now.
Im designing a site with friends can chat online. Now im facing the problem of creating the frame for each chats. I actually created a new page on clicking the link. But the user wants it to be a frame not a page. Also i find a difficulty in passing the username in the link url so that i can get in the next page using get method. Im using php and javascript so i face the problem in passing the values from php to java script I use php to fetch users who are online from the database.
I am working on an application where the user is able to draw using square images placed using absolute positions. The user can draw any shape but it must always be connected. I now need to work out the outline of the shape they created. The only information I have is the x y of the pictures that were placed. Its driving me crazy... I tried to work out a system of looping through all the pictures and seeing if there were any images touching.
My most recent idea was to make the javascript select the images and see if I could get the coordinates of the shape from there... In simple I need a way of merging the images into a shape rather than separate entities.
I have a shopping cart where if a user have problems of buying products or transactions, I want to give support via a chat programme. I want to reply users in different chat threads not like in a chat room as other people dont want to see others chat.I am new to this subject.
I've been searching for a script that creates a desktop shortcut for a URL. The script must work for all versions of Windows and Mac. I haven't found anything useful in my research yet. I know it sounds pretty basic but I am not sure where the limitations are when jQuery and the clients' browser interact with the OS.
Does anybody know if there has been any groundbreaking on this subject with jQuery?
Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, Take Your CSS to the Desktop with Adobe AIR!.
The only book that covers Adobe AIR with AJAX (html, javascript) is Larry Ullman's Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) with Ajax: Visual QuickPro Guide
All the other books cover Flex (MXML) and Flash (Actionscript) and expect you to know those things first.
You'll see I'm a gamer as well as a web/desktop developer and I have built so many application in both technologies.
But yesterday I was amused by something I saw. I like to play this Combat Arms game from Nexon a very well developed FPS online action game, scince I downloaded the update I noticed that when I double click on the game icon it actually open a browser where I login (in the past I log in from the game itself) when I login I press a button IN THE SITE where it says "START GAME" and the game automatically starts.
now the question is "HOW THE HECK DID THEY DO THAT?" [code]...
i followed my first AJAX tutorial on the web: [URL]
the AJAX is working fine on the site itself, but when i download the source codes provided with the tutorial, it won't run from my machine. i checked this with several tutorials and all same. i.e. no results when run from the desktop machine.
I am working on getting my tumblr blog on my web site and there's a feature in the template that I would like to use on my site but after going through lots of sites offering tools, I couldn't find one the same.
this is my blog [URL] when hovering over a photo, you see the zoom button, clicking it makes the picture bigger and fades the background out.
Anyone know where I can get a script to do this? Has anyone used one of these? Do they automatically work on all images on the page without extra code on each image?
is possible with JavaScript to drag and drop a .jpg from your desktop to a small square box on you website. On drop the picture has to upload the file and store it on the server.
Ineed to pass two variable in a querystring from one application (in PHP) to another (in ASP.NET). It's a one way transfer...That is I need to encrypt it in PHP and decrypt it in ASP.NET (c#). The data will be anywhere from 5 - 15 characters..only letters and numbers.
This isn't really a beginner question. I need to build a webpage that has some form elements on it. These form elements act like filters on a set of page elements. Several input element can be grouped as one of many filters. For example six checkboxes are filter 1 and a radiobutton and a pulldown element are filter 2.
When the user makes some changes in these filters a server request is send and an answer is send back with the result. Depending on the result every filter (group of elements) need to be re-initialized to reflect the new model state on the server.
So my question is: Is it right to see the filters as widgets in a Jquery UI sense? Or is it more appropriate to just see them as plugins. Can someone please share some insight?
I have an application developed using jQuery1.2.3 and I currently have issues with printing a pre-defined area of a page within the application.I found the solution in the jQuery Plugin - PrintArea but it's not compattible with jQuery 1.2.x. The introduction of PrintArea and jQuery 1.3.2 to my app throws errors like "exception thrown and not caught - Query1.3.2.js" and "object does not support this property or method - on the line where I'm calling the printArea function".
What I mean is this: the "who is using" list is usually comprised of websites - Google, Dell.com, etc. What I'm trying to find is a closed source, enterprise example of jQuery usage...a Paid version of WordPress, for example.
I understand the MIT license, but I'm having a hard time selling my managers on moving to including jQuery in our product, so I'm really fighting for examples to get us started.
I currently have a standard .NET grid in my application and am considering a few options. I could replace the grid with divs so the current rows would be like posts in a forum. Or replace the .NET grid with the new jQurey grid, that way I would gain a whole lot of functionally!
My question is can a grid be modified so that the rows are about 11/2 inches tall and be formated to show several lines of text? I want them to show 2 business names, addresses and some details gotten from a form.
how to manage the script scope on a full ajax application Let me explain a scenario
- Pages are loaded dynamically in a div, - pages are php files - pages contains scripts tags (static and generated via php) depending on context
Load Scenario :
1. master page load pages via $.load jquery function 2. page are inserted and the script is executed (mostly input events or live events)
when i select another page (just imagine a combo with all pages listed), the Load Scenario is executed again... the 2 js code line that matter in the master page
I can't seem to get the row striping working with my application. The table data is being pulled in via AJAX and for some reason that is interfering with the striping code. It's hard to debug also because the table info doesn't show up in a view source.
