JB,

You may find what you're looking for in the online
examples/documentation for DataTable.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/

The database technology isn't important.  The server page/service that
will be requested by the DataSource needs to be able to communicate
with the database and reply to the http request with some form of
serialized data (JSON/XML/etc) for the DataSource to feed the
DataTable with.

Hope this helps,
Luke

If your element type is 'SELECT', please try this workaround.

From:
  document.getElementById(combo).innerHTML = o.responseText;

To:
  el = document.getElementById(combo);
  el.innerHTML='';
  el.outerHTML= el.outerHTML.replace('</SELECT>', o.responseText + '</
SELECT>');

One thought would be to use SQL's FOR XML clause.

Subject: Resize utility causes horizontal scroll bars and obscures its content.

aniad

Send Email

I have a layout inside a resize utility which has only the bottom
resize handle.  The resize border seems to add just a little
edge/padding around the layout causing horizontal scroll bar to
appear.  How can I avoid this?  The resize is rendered with
'proxy:true' so when actually dragging the resize handle the right
edge of the proxy is scrolled off the screen.  Having the 'proxy:true'
or 'false' does not seem to make any difference.  The resize control
also obscures the bottom pixels of the layout and, as mentioned,
extends the width (thus the horizontal scroll bars). How do I fix this?

BTW, whether it is layout, or tab control, or whatever, it doesn't
matter.  It seems any control rendered at full width inside the resize
causes this behavior.

Here is my very simplified code.  Thank you,
Ania.

<script>

var layout;
var resize;

var IE_QUIRKS = (YAHOO.env.ua.ie && document.compatMode == "BackCompat");

// UNDERLAY/IFRAME SYNC REQUIRED
var IE_SYNC = (YAHOO.env.ua.ie == 6 || (YAHOO.env.ua.ie == 7 &&
IE_QUIRKS));

function initLayout()
{
    layout = new YAHOO.widget.Layout('layoutDiv',
    {
       height: 500,
       units: [
          { position: 'right', header: 'Right', height: 490, width:
300, resize: true, gutter: '2px 5px', footer: 'Footer', collapse:
true, scroll: false, body: 'right1', maxWidth: 1000 },
          { position: 'center', height: 490, scroll: false, resize:
true, body: 'selector', gutter: '2px 5px', collapse: true,
collapseSize: 50, maxWidth: 1000 }
             ]
    });

    layout.render();
}

function initResize()
{
    resize = new YAHOO.util.Resize('layoutDiv', { handles: 'b', proxy:
true});

    resize.on('resize', function(args) {
       var panelHeight = args.height;
       var headerHeight = (this.header == null ) ? 0 :
this.header.offsetHeight; // Content + Padding + Border
       var bodyHeight = (panelHeight - headerHeight);
       var bodyContentHeight = (IE_QUIRKS) ? bodyHeight : bodyHeight;//
- PANEL_BODY_PADDING;

       YAHOO.util.Dom.setStyle(this.body, 'height', bodyContentHeight +
'px');

       if (IE_SYNC)
       {
          this.sizeUnderlay();
          this.syncIframe();
       }

       layout.set('height', bodyContentHeight);
       layout.resize();

     });
}

YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(initLayout);
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(initResize);

</script>

<body class=" yui-skin-sam">

"beatenbyrobots" -

The problem here is the Menu shadow.  In order to provide shadow support
for the Menu's default "Sam" skin, I had to manage the sizing of the
shadow through script.  If you are creating your own custom skin and
don't want your menus to have a shadow, then simply hide the shadow
element via CSS.  This will solve the IE 6 issue.  Here is an example:

http://yuiblog.com/sandbox/yui/v251/examples/menu/example02.html

If you DO want your custom skin to have a shadow, I have created a patch
that corrects the shadow sizing error.  Here is an example of how to use
the patch:

http://yuiblog.com/sandbox/yui/v251/examples/menu/example03.html

Of course, you'll still need to provide the necessary custom style
definition for your shadow.

Subject: problems showing/hiding calendar control

windrunner37

Send Email

I am having problems with showing and hiding the calendar control from
code.

I create it like this:

     YAHOO.calendar.cal1 =
         new YAHOO.widget.CalendarGroup( "cal1", "calendar",
                                         { pages: 2,
                                           title: calendarTitle,
                                           pagedate: pageDate,
                                           close: true } );

My friend does not need to call the control's show method to display
it. He just creates the object similar like above and calls render and
thats it! the calendar appears. But I for some reason can only display
my calendar after calling it's show function.

Also, my calendar does not disappear when I call the hide function
from my selectEvent handling function:

function selectEventHandler(type, args, obj) {
     alert( "inside selectEventHandler()" );

     var dates = args[0];
     var selDate = dates[0];    // this should be an array in this
format: [YYYY, MM, DD]

     document.getElementById( inputFieldForCal ).value( selDate[1] +
'/' + selDate[2] + '/' + selDate[0] );

     this.hide();
}

My div container tag seems to be set up properly:

<div id="calendar" name="calendar"
style="position:absolute;display:none;"></div>


So why am I having these problems? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sanjiv,

This is undoubtedly problematic, and we need to make it easier. As Josh mentioned, we'll look at making the chart less brittle against ancestor DOM changes in the next release -- no schedule for you on that yet, but we'll announce it here when we have a target date.

In the meantime, here are a couple of things to look at:

I've used mychart.set("series", seriesDef); to force the chart to redraw in my own implementations. This has not been sufficient to recover a tabbed chart that I've broken via display:none in my tests, but it may work in your example if you've moved the chart in the beforeActiveTabChange event.
This mockup gets you pretty close to what you're looking for: http://ericmiraglia.com/yui/demos/tabchart.php . It looks like it works in FF, Safari, and Opera. I didn't have time to trap the IE6 flow issues, but I suspect they're manageable with some additional fine tuning of the CSS. Note that this approach hacks the TabView contentVisible attribute for the chart's tab, preventing display:none from ever being invoked; instead, it moves the contentEl for the chart's tab into negativeland and sets its height to 0px.

Sorry not to have a better answer for you on this. Hopefully resetting your chart's series attribute will get you the effect you need.

Regards,

Eric

Eric,
I'm having troubles with this too. A simple test of moving the chart to a different div (in negetiveland) and then adding it back to its original location results in the chart being displayed really small. When I click on the chart, it ends up reloading / redrawing itself.

Do you have a working example of this? Is there a way to force the chart to redraw without requiring me to click the chart. I'm not so concerned about the reload, but would like the chart to be displayed right when re-added to the original location. I can see that the "object tag has height and width to 100% and the parent div has the correct dimensions, yet the chart displays 20x 60px when added back to original location.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

tully_tim,

We don't have a demo of a workaround for you at present, but one thing you might try is using the TabView's event system to move the chart out of the being-hidden tab before it's hidden, and move the chart itself into negativeland (eg, left:-3000). Then, when the tab is activated again, move the chart back into place.

I would start with the TabView's activeTabChange event and go from there.

Eric

The DataTable fires the checkboxClickEvent and you can do whatever you want with that.

In http://satyam. com.ar/yui/ 2.5.0/assortedCo ntrols.html I showed how you can send that information to the server on each click because that is what many people ask, but you are certainly not forced to do so. If you have sortable columns, you have to update the recordset for each click so that on sorting the checked boxes don't get lost, but you don't need to communicate that to the server and you certainly can keep a separate array of your own in parallel with this.

Hi Allen,

Hey Jack -

When a menu is hidden, its selection is cleared.  So, when the menu is
clicked you'll have to store a reference to the selected item and then
use the "parent" property to crawl up and show each parent menu.  That
said, why are you doing this?  What is the use case here?  This
interaction you are trying to create doesn't make sense to me.  I have
never used an application where a button's flyout menu appears pre-
expanded with the selected item shown.

As noted on SF, the workaround for this bug is to include the following line of js before the instantiation of a DataTable:

YAHOO.widget.DataTable._bStylesheetFallback = !!YAHOO.env.ua.ie;

A true fix for this will need more investigation and you should see it in an upcoming release.

Hope this helps,
Luke

I have a problem with using YUI's JSON parser in Internet
Explorer(IE). I'm using IE, version 6.  I'm able to use the parse
method just fine in Firefox(By the way, I'm using YUI 2.5.1).
However, when I try to use the JSON parser inside IE, I get unhandled
exception errors. Any clues as to what could be causing this problem?
  Thanks in advance.

Eric,
Thanks for taking the time in putting up the sample. Unfortunately your sample doesn't work for me in IE 6 or FF 2. In FF 2, on changing tabs I only see the axes and not the lines of the chart, and in IE that chart doesn't even appear partially.

You suggestion of mychart.set("series", seriesDef); does redraw the chart, unfortunately the chart DOM removal / move in the prior step to move it out of the tab area results in a JS error which corrupts the chart. (eg skins are lost when moved back to original location).

Looking forward to seeing a working solution for this in your next release as in the current state the charts cant be used in most ajax apps which typically hide / show content.

Thanks again.

This is undoubtedly problematic, and we need to make it easier. As Josh mentioned, we'll look at making the chart less brittle against ancestor DOM changes in the next release -- no schedule for you on that yet, but we'll announce it here when we have a target date.

In the meantime, here are a couple of things to look at:

I've used mychart.set("series", seriesDef); to force the chart to redraw in my own implementations. This has not been sufficient to recover a tabbed chart that I've broken via display:none in my tests, but it may work in your example if you've moved the chart in the beforeActiveTabChange event.

This mockup gets you pretty close to what you're looking for: http://ericmiraglia.com/yui/demos/tabchart.php . It looks like it works in FF, Safari, and Opera. I didn't have time to trap the IE6 flow issues, but I suspect they're manageable with some additional fine tuning of the CSS. Note that this approach hacks the TabView contentVisible attribute for the chart's tab, preventing display:none from ever being invoked; instead, it moves the contentEl for the chart's tab into negativeland and sets its height to 0px.

Sorry not to have a better answer for you on this. Hopefully resetting your chart's series attribute will get you the effect you need.

Eric

Eric,
I'm having troubles with this too. A simple test of moving the chart to a different div (in negetiveland) and then adding it back to its original location results in the chart being displayed really small. When I click on the chart, it ends up reloading / redrawing itself.

Do you have a working example of this? Is there a way to force the chart to redraw without requiring me to click the chart. I'm not so concerned about the reload, but would like the chart to be displayed right when re-added to the original location. I can see that the "object tag has height and width to 100% and the parent div has the correct dimensions, yet the chart displays 20x 60px when added back to original location.

tully_tim,

We don't have a demo of a workaround for you at present, but one thing you might try is using the TabView's event system to move the chart out of the being-hidden tab before it's hidden, and move the chart itself into negativeland (eg, left:-3000). Then, when the tab is activated again, move the chart back into place.

I would start with the TabView's activeTabChange event and go from there.

wind runner:

You may be experiencing a "scope" issue.  There are ways in most/many
of the yui elements to specify the scopre that should be active in a
handler.  For starters, change this.hide() to YAHOO.calendar.cal1.hide
() (assuming the calender namespace is valid), or just use a global
variable (for testing).  If this works, then you just have a simple
scope issue.  Check to see if you can declare the scope for the
handler you are hooking in the docs.

If you can't get the calendar to show up at all, verify that your
HTML is properly formed (I have found that unclosed tags can be very
disruptive to yui!).  Also, make sure your target element is an
immediate child of body.  If it is hidden, you'll have to call show.
If it is not hidden, you may not have to call show.

display:none can be problematic, at least I think it was in some
versions of YUI.  Do a search and see if you can find some messages
about this.  If I remember correctly, display:none styled elements
may not be visible to YUI or the DOM or both (or something like that).

I drop my calendar(s) into a simple div like this:

     <div id="mycalcontainer"></div>

If that is at the "end" of your page, then it essentially is
invisible.  Then you set the x/y and everything else in the config
block when you instantiate your calendar (or via cfg calls).  This
has worked best for me.  I actually have a page generator class I use
that "builds" the framework of my pages in my site(s) and it adds
this div automatically (along with ones for alert messages,
colorpickers, etc).  I just "know" they'll be there!

Hope that helps,
~~bret

Sanjiv,

My apologies. I left a line of CSS in there that was breaking it in FF2 (it works now). IE6 is the piece I didn't work through. But I agree with your assessment that the fragility of the current implementation makes it hard to deal with showing and hiding the chart.

We worked through this on the ProfilerViewer Control, which has a similar UI paradigm (chart is part of a selectively shown/hidden canvas), but there were fewer limitations there with respect to the parent container.

Eric

"jacintorodrigues" -

As the Menu author, I looked into this issue and cannot reproduce this
problem using the latest build (2.5.1).  Here is my test case:

http://yuiblog.com/sandbox/yui/v251/examples/menu/example04.html

If you are having this problem, a very likely cause is that you are
reusing the same id each time you are creating a ContextMenu without
first destroying the previous instance that used that id.  Take a look
at the above example and if you are still experiencing this issue,
please notify me as well as provide a URL to a simple example that
clearly illustrates how to reproduce the bug.

Thanks,

Are you building your Menu from existing markup or completely from
script.  If the former, do you have the first-of-type CSS class names
applied in the correct places in the markup before you call the MenuBar
constructor?  Lastly, can you provide a URL to a simple example that
illustrates the problem?

Thanks,

Pieter -

Can you clarify the order of operations for creating your button? Is the
AJAX call you are making returning the HTML that will be used to create
the Button?  If so, you should be creating the Button inside the scope
of the callback for the AJAX request.  For example, some pseudo code:

onAJAXResponse(data) {

     contentElement.innerHTML = data;

     var oSubmitButton1 = new
YAHOO.widget.Button("add-initial-aliquots-submit-button", {
type:"submit" });

}

Better yet - can you provide a URL to an example that illustrates how
this comes together?  That'll make it much easier to help you debug.

If you want to apply an id to the actual <button> element, then you will
need to utilize the DOM to access that node inside the Button instance's
root element:

oButton.get("element").firstChild.firstChild.id = "my-button-id";

Maybe you need to include the pass through arguments in the anonymous function wrapper?

var me = this;
this.myACDataSource = new YAHOO.widget.DS_JSFunction(function (a,b,c) {
    me.someFunc(a,b,c);
});

Or a more broad brush approach:
var me = this;
this.myACDataSource = new YAHOO.widget.DS_JSFunction(function () {
    someFunc.apply(me, arguments);
});

Hope this helps,
Luke

Hey Jim,

The simple and surefire way is to treat Grids as a blank shell: Put
your HTML inside of Grids' and style only your HTML.

Of course it is possible to add your design's CSS to Grids' nodes
directly. Doing so may be somewhat more efficient (in terms of page
weight, etc), but may introduce some risk (if you change width,
border, margin, padding, position, float, display ... .)

Thanks,
Nate

Hollywood and Sanjiv,

For what it's worth (no big claims here), this does seem doable:

http://ericmiraglia.com/yui/demos/tabchart2.php

This approach works for me in FF2.0.0.13, IE 6 and 7, Opera 9.26, and Safari 3.1.

When I looked at this again this afternoon, I noticed that IE didn't need any special treatment -- so I forked around YAHOO.env.ua.ie to prevent IE from seeing the hack. There are three things I dislike about this:

The fork is based on UA;
It modifies a private member of the chart's Tab;
The underlying fragility of the Chart isn't addressed.

That said, if you're looking to get this rolling right away, you may want to take a look. If we come up with a better short-term solution, we'll let you know; meantime, we'll work on the underlying issue wrt to recovering from display:none and visibility:hidden on the Chart itself.

Regards,

Eric

Eric,
Thanks for taking the time in putting up the sample. Unfortunately your sample doesn't work for me in IE 6 or FF 2. In FF 2, on changing tabs I only see the axes and not the lines of the chart, and in IE that chart doesn't even appear partially.

You suggestion of mychart.set("series", seriesDef); does redraw the chart, unfortunately the chart DOM removal / move in the prior step to move it out of the tab area results in a JS error which corrupts the chart. (eg skins are lost when moved back to original location).

Looking forward to seeing a working solution for this in your next release as in the current state the charts cant be used in most ajax apps which typically hide / show content.

Thanks again.

Sanjiv

Sanjiv,

This is undoubtedly problematic, and we need to make it easier. As Josh mentioned, we'll look at making the chart less brittle against ancestor DOM changes in the next release -- no schedule for you on that yet, but we'll announce it here when we have a target date.

In the meantime, here are a couple of things to look at:

I've used mychart.set("series", seriesDef); to force the chart to redraw in my own implementations. This has not been sufficient to recover a tabbed chart that I've broken via display:none in my tests, but it may work in your example if you've moved the chart in the beforeActiveTabChangeevent.
This mockup gets you pretty close to what you're looking for: http://ericmiraglia.com/yui/demos/tabchart.php . It looks like it works in FF, Safari, and Opera. I didn't have time to trap the IE6 flow issues, but I suspect they're manageable with some additional fine tuning of the CSS. Note that this approach hacks the TabView contentVisibleattribute for the chart's tab, preventing display:none from ever being invoked; instead, it moves the contentEl for the chart's tab into negativeland and sets its height to 0px.

Sorry not to have a better answer for you on this. Hopefully resetting your chart's series attribute will get you the effect you need.

Regards,
Eric

Eric,
I'm having troubles with this too. A simple test of moving the chart to a different div (in negetiveland) and then adding it back to its original location results in the chart being displayed really small. When I click on the chart, it ends up reloading / redrawing itself.

Do you have a working example of this? Is there a way to force the chart to redraw without requiring me to click the chart. I'm not so concerned about the reload, but would like the chart to be displayed right when re-added to the original location. I can see that the "object tag has height and width to 100% and the parent div has the correct dimensions, yet the chart displays 20x 60px when added back to original location.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

tully_tim,

We don't have a demo of a workaround for you at present, but one thing you might try is using the TabView's event system to move the chart out of the being-hidden tab before it's hidden, and move the chart itself into negativeland (eg, left:-3000). Then, when the tab is activated again, move the chart back into place.

I would start with the TabView's activeTabChange event and go from there.
