JQuery :: Sorting Dynamically Created Unordered Lists?
Jan 17, 2011
I have some code that creates form fields as needed, then the once the user inputs data the values are stored in my action page as an unordered list. The list is then displayed back on my page with an ajax call. All this works fine, but now I wanted and need to have the lists sorted alphabetically. I actually found a thread here and some code someone posted to do this. I thought at first it worked, but it seems to be if'y. Maybe it has to do with the order in which I might add an item to my form. I also wanted to sort by more than the first letter. When I thought, and Im pretty sure it was, working, it seemed it only sorted up to the first letter. Ex:
What I have is a dynamically created group of unordered lists. My jQuery code allows the user to "add" forms that essentially create a new unordered list per form. The first list item is displayed in a heading 2 tag strictly for the style formatting the h2 tag gives.
The user enters data in the forms which are then passed via url.data method to my action page. This is where my code loops(nested loop) through the lists, inserts the appropriate items in either the heading 2 tag or the rest of the list item tags. Then this(these) lists are saved in a temporary file and then called and displayed back by way of an include. The problem is I want these lists to be sorted alphabetically. I have a function that I am close to getting it working, but the problem I think is the fact that I have the special "first" list item within a heading tag.
Here is the function:
var items = []; $('li').each(function() { items.push($(this).text());
I want to create a recipe site with similar functionality to a feature on coolspotters. I've only dabbled in jQuery so I'm not sure how complicated it would be to do this. Basically what I want to do is allow a user to add recipes to dynamically created lists. For example if a user searches for Italian food they should be able to create a list called "Italian" and add italian recipes to the list. Or if they do a search for Japanese dishes they will be able to create a list called "Japanese" and add Japanese recipes to it, etc. I know their would be some back-end code involved but I was wondering if jQuery could handle the front-end. I've only dabbled in jQuery so this sounds like a complex thing to do.
I have an application that dynamically adds unordered lists forms as needed, then once the user(backroom) enters values in the form fields, the lists are saved to an action page and displayed. The lists are written to a page called vendorProductList.cfm and written as an unordered lists. Then that page pulls the html out and inserts the newly created list(s) into my page. Here is the code that does that written with cf:
I've got an unordered lists. I need to make the numbers larger (ordered lists numbers) and keep the text in the list at the same size. So what I was assuming I need to do is make the <li> font-size larger (the size I want the unordered list number to be), then wrap the text with a <span> and make the <span> smaller. I'm using a CMS and since the client will be modifying the text in the CMS, I can't exactly tell them to put <span> text, blah, blah</span> in the unordered lists as they won't figure that out. So how would I write the jQuery to wrap the text in the unordered lists with a span? Currently the output is like so:
I'm trying to create an unordered list dynamically and then turn it into jQuery UI tabs... I think I'm having problem with syntax here, I managed to create the list and turn it into the widget, but those tabs don't look right, they have the outline of the widget but the content doesn't have actual tabs, so my guess is it only 'kind of worked'
$ ( "#doc3" ). append
[Code].....
is this the way to do it? (for now its just the test, eventually i want to use for loop to create the list and pull data from an array)
I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:
I want fill a select list with the first list on page load, then depending on which option is chosen, fill another select list with the appropriate list. I'd prefer using only javascript!
I dynamically create a textbox as follows, but I cannot retrieve the value entered by the user:
bp_boards = ' <tr id="hwNumberBoards"> <td>No. of modules:</td>[code]....
The dynamically created textbox shows up on the page but after the user enters a value, I cannot retrieve it from jquery(alert ($("#hwNumberBoards").val()) is "undefined")
I am creating Textboxes at Runtime with something like this code...
and what this function does it count the number of Characters that have been typed in a Textbox. so i am displaying the remaining characters. So that is working fine on my example because the Element is known at Early Binding. Now my question is what if the textbox is created dynamically ?
contentbox
this is the name of the Textbox in my example.
how do we use a J Query in Dynamically created Textbox.
How to add an ID to dynamically created input field. Type of serial Input field its possible to add, but If I insert any input field in the middle is the problem for me.
Add/Delete of the input field is happening like this [URL]... How to add the ID for the input field
I'm using some javascript to generate multiple input text fields with the same name of additionalDate[] but cant seem to get datepicker to work on it.Here is the datepicker code:
I have recently started exploring the world of jQuery and it looks incredibley rich and powerful! I am stuck on something, though. When I dynamically create a div
var divTag = document.createElement("div"); //Set the parameters divTag.id = "divMaster"; //Create it and immediately hide it!

This is probably really obvious, but I cannot figure out why? Perhaps jQuery is looking for elements already in the original HTML, and my div tag was added to the DOM after loading the original elements?
The code below creates images based on a json feed, no problem. All images are created and the click function works perfectly, but... I can't access any of the images by their id's so I can't make thefunctionbehave as I wan't.
I first thought jQuery appended my image object as html and didn't insert it as a valid object in the dom, but as the click function is working that can't be it?
I found some other people had the same problem but they were using vanilla js, their solution was using .appendChild() but thatdoesn'twork in jQuery.
I can see the raw HTML in firebug etc, but the dynamic elements (the ones created by jquery for example), obviously don't appear there. I struggle referencing some of them - Ideally I'd like to be able to trigger a display showing what handle to use for any given element - for example by clicking on them.
i created image links by reading an xmland creating the img and a tags in jquery. how do i put a function init? i tried the function below but it doesnt seem to work. These imagelinks are stored in the div: "thumbs"Below is the code:
After loading a HTML fragment using AJAX, I can not select the newly embedded elements using the $("#id") notation. document.getElementById works fine though.
Previously when developing my own modal windows I have been creating a "mask" div directly in my markup, in the CSS setting it to be display:none and then setting it to show() by jQuery when a button is clicked.
I'm sure there is a better way to do this but i'm getting a little stuck.
I tried adding the "mask" div and its content to the body using prepend() when my button is clicked but i found i then can't select any of the added elements in jQuery.
How can you select elements you have added to a page by jQuery?? Also if this is the right approach whats the best way to insert a block of html to a page??
I'm trying to update a plugin i downloaded. What i'm trying to do, is make it able to work with dinamically created objects. I'm using the live function to assing javascript events, but i need to know how to assing a plugin dynamically. This is what i have right now:
$("#txtinstruments").AutoComplete("query"); What this does is apply the AutoComplete plugin, to all the objects with id txtInstruments that are already created but, i create more objects with that id on the fly, and i need to assign the plugin to them.
When submitting a form, I would like to check the values of some fields first. These fields are dynamically generated by javascript after the page has loaded (that is, a user selected a value from a dropdown between 1 and 10, if 2 is selected, 2 inputs are generated, if 7 is selected, 7 inputs are generated etc). I think I understand that Jquery isn't aware of these items because they were created after the DOM was scanned. Is there any way I can 'refresh' jquery to make it aware of these new items?
