The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
Having effects on append won't work because the content the browser displays is updated as soon as the div is appended. So, to combine Mark B's and Steerpike's answers:
ReplyDeleteStyle the div you're appending as hidden before you actually append it. You can do it with inline or external CSS script, or just create the div as
<div id="new_div" style="display: none;"> ... </div>
Then you can chain effects to your append:
$('#original_div').append('#new_div').show('slow');
The essence is this:
ReplyDeleteYou're calling 'append' on the parent
but you want to call 'show' on the new child
This works for me:
var new_item = $('<p>hello</p>').hide();
parent.append(new_item);
new_item.show('normal');
or:
$('<p>hello</p>').hide().appendTo(parent).show('normal');
Set the appended div to be hidden initially through css display:hidden.
ReplyDeleteSomething like:
ReplyDelete$('#test').append('<div id="newdiv">Hello</div>').hide().show('slow');
should do it?
Edit: sorry, mistake in code and took Matt's suggestion on board too.
Another way when working with incoming data (like from an ajax call):
ReplyDeletevar new_div = $(data).hide();
$('#old_div').append(new_div);
new_div.slideDown();
