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
Something this simple doesn't need a plugin. This might look like a lot of code but it's really pretty simple.
ReplyDeleteFirst the CSS - tweak this however you like:
a.selected {
background-color:#1F75CC;
color:white;
z-index:100;
}
.messagepop {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px solid #999999;
cursor:default;
display:none;
margin-top: 15px;
position:absolute;
text-align:left;
width:394px;
z-index:50;
padding: 25px 25px 20px;
}
label {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 15px;
text-indent: -15px;
}
.messagepop p, .messagepop.div {
border-bottom: 1px solid #EFEFEF;
margin: 8px 0;
padding-bottom: 8px;
}
And the JavaScript:
$(function() {
$("#contact").live('click', function(event) {
$(this).addClass("selected").parent().append('<div class="messagepop pop"><form method="post" id="new_message" action="/messages"><p><label for="email">Your email or name</label><input type="text" size="30" name="email" id="email" /></p><p><label for="body">Message</label><textarea rows="6" name="body" id="body" cols="35"></textarea></p><p><input type="submit" value="Send Message" name="commit" id="message_submit"/> or <a class="close" href="/">Cancel</a></p></form></div>');
$(".pop").slideFadeToggle(function() {
$("#email").focus();
});
return false;
});
$(".close").live('click', function() {
$(".pop").slideFadeToggle(function() {
$("#contact").removeClass("selected");
});
return false;
});
});
$.fn.slideFadeToggle = function(easing, callback) {
return this.animate({ opacity: 'toggle', height: 'toggle' }, "fast", easing, callback);
};
The appending of the div is an ajax call in my app - you might want to change the append code.
And finally the html:
<a href="/contact" id="contact">Contact Us</a>
Hopefully this code is less weird for you.
Check out jQuery UI Dialog. You would use it like this:
ReplyDeleteThe jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog();
});
The markup:
<div id="dialog" title="Dialog Title">I'm in a dialog</div>
Done!
Bear in mind that's about the simplest use-case there is, I would suggest reading the documentation to get a better idea of just what can be done with it.
I use a jQuery plugin called ColorBox, it is
ReplyDeleteVery easy to use
lightweight
customizable
the nicest popup dialog I have seen for jQuery yet
