Hi All,

In my page, in addition to the YUI menubar I also have a
Yahoo.widget.Panel. When I rollover a menu item, the drop down that
appears is partially covered by the overlay Panel.

Is there any way to prevent this so that the menu drop down is always
displayed on top of the Panel?

Regards,
Prashant

Is the "name" attribute value on the select element set?

The following is an example of a multi-select field, with varied option
elements:

<select name="typeSelectMultiple" size="5" multiple="multiple">
   <option value="">First</option>
   <option value="2">Second</option>
   <option>Third</option>
   <option>Fourth</option>
   <option>Fifth</option>
</select>

Selecting all options, via Connection Manager's setForm(), produces the
following response from PHP:
[typeSelectMultiple] =>
   Array ( [0] =>
           [1] => 2
           [2] => Third
           [3] => Fourth
           [4] => Fifth )

If you are still unable to resolve this problem, please post a link to a
functional example; or, show me the full code example that produces the
described condition.

Thomas

Subject: Submenus dissapearing in IE7

c_vadillo

I have seen many threads on this topic, and I have a new insight on it. The
zoom: 1 works fine if you are in IE7 quirks mode. But if you try to use html4 or
xhtml and add a line in your page like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Or any or many other variations then the problem appears again.

Does anyone found a solution for this problem. MenuBar works fine in IE6,
Firefox and others but it is very annoying in IE7 and certainly our product
cannot go on production with this problem.

Prashant -

The easiest way to add an id to the anchor of each item would be via a
"render" event listener:

myMenuBar.subscribe("render", function () {

      var items = this.getItems(),
          anchor;

      for (var i=0, nItems = items.length; i<nItems; i++) {

          anchor = items[i].element.firstChild;

          YAHOO.util.Dom.generateId(anchor);

      }

});

Menu inherits Overlay's "bringToTop" method which you can call in
response to the "show" event of a submenu to ensure it is on top.
Here is some sample code:

myMenuBar.subscribe("show", function () {

     if (this.parent) {
         this.bringToTop();
     }

});

Additionally, I would recommend reading this section of the Overlay
landing page for further reading:

Thanks Todd ! That worked for me.

Since an id is already defined for the menu item in the JSON, is there a
possibility that the id that is applied to the <li> could be automatically
applied to the anchor as well, rather than having to implement the function you
have mentioned below?

Or is there a specific reason that this was not done?

manne_swiss

My requirement is some thing like this :

i have implemented auto-complete to the datatable and it worked fine..i wish to
keep the search box(filter) inside the datatable is that possible?

instead of keeping the search filter just above the datatable can i integrate it
within the datatable itself by adding another dummy row and placing it within
that row.

Note: the datatable consists of dynamic data and server side pagination too..as
i navigate to the next page the dummy row needs to be shown always at the top.

Can this be achieved ? if so please help me out.

Subject: Charts in tabs slow in Firefox

colmaengusmu...

Hi,

When you have charts in tabs it seems that in Firefox the chart redraws every
time you switch tabs.
With IE, Chrome or Safari the charts aren't redrawn when you switch tabs.

This can be easily seen in the example :
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/charts/charts-tabview.html

This chart redraw impacts on Firefox performance when you have a few charts in a
tab.

Is there any way to avoid this redraw ?

I'm using YUI 2.8.0r4.

Hi,

Just noticed that when you have multiple charts in a tab only IE8 can do fast tab switching.
Firefox (3.5.3), Safari (4.0.3), Chrome (3.0.195.25) all take quite a few seconds to switch tabs.

This is due to the flash player plugin. When the tabs are toggled, the browsers
reset the flash player. As a result, the chart needs to redraw. Otherwise, there
would be no chart.

Hi Tripp,

This is a shame as it really impacts on user experience.
There is no such delay in IE8, does this mean Microsoft just do things different ?

toddkloots

The id of the of the menuitem's li shouldn't be applied to the anchor
as well because ids need to be unique.  You are the first to request
the need to apply an id to the anchor.  Is there a reason why you
can't use the id on the anchor's parent <LI>?  If you've got a valid
use case it might be something we can add in a future version of YUI.

Todd Kloots here, author of YUI Menu.  My understanding was that this

Hence my solution in the Known Issues section of the YUI Menu landing

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/menu/#knownissues

If you have a URL that reproduces this issue in IE 7 in standards

Subject: DataTable pagination abandoned in 3.0?

ctiberg

Hello!

I hope to hear that the DataTable in YUI 3 has abandoned pagination in favor of something, say, a bit more natural. Present a user with a table of data and a scrollbar. Will he try to drag the scrollbar to the approximate position he needs, or will he try to guess a page number at random? It's your guess, enough said.

In an ideal world, I'd like to see something that client programs in all modern OS's have had for years - virtual lists. You simply tell the DataTable that there are 1,497,977,412 rows, and the first screenful is displayed, along with a scrollbar. You might say that with such a huge number of rows, a search is the most efficient way to find what one's looking for - but that's also irrelevant, since even a search would probably turn up thousands of records in such a humungous dataset.

So, will we ever get to this higher form of DataTable, or will I have to continue to dream?

Best regards,
�Christian Tiberg

daniel.ldoyle

Hi there,

One of our users brought it to my attention that the YUI Charts (both the 2.7.0
and the 2.8.0r4 versions) crash the flash plugin in Safari when resizing the
window. After some testing, this only seems to occur when the width of the
element is set to "auto" and the window is collapsing to the point where the
chart is trying to resize - if I set it to a hard value like "400px" nothing bad
happens.

This seems to work fine in Firefox regardless, and IE is already on our "no
support" list so I haven't tested it there.

Sorry, I hit "Send" when I meant to preview what I had already and there's no
way to back that out save for making the browser go back.

It seems that there is an actual issue with Safari when height / width
attributes are set to a % with flash crashing. I was posting this to make it a
known issue, not to suggest that there is something wrong with YUI. Thanks.

I think the key here is to understand your user and to design accordingly.
Provide them enough search refinement to allow them to target selectively. If
your point is to decide between pagination and scrolling, this really depends on
the user's needs.  Let the user be able to sort or refine the results once they
are returned.

Pagination will not be abandoned in YUI 3.  It is a well understood design
pattern.  A scrollable interface that limits fetched table records to those
appropriate to display in a scrolled region has been on the todo list for YUI 2
DataTable as well and will undoubtedly be addressed in YUI 3 at some point--we
have to get DataTable into YUI 3 first :)

Of course, YUI is an open source library and we welcome feature contributions,
so you don't have to wait for us to implement it!

Subject: upon initial load, all content pushed down in webkit browser by container

craig_music

Hello,

   Thanks for all the help in these forums guys.

   I'm having a problem with a new page I'm creating. On webkit browsers, upon
initial load of the page, sometimes all the content is pushed down and there is
white space for about 50 pixels at the top of the page.

  Link to effect in safari with dev window open:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/12756057@N07/3992956597/sizes/l/

   It seems the problem is due because the 'rendered containers' in this case
simple dialogues instead of actually being hidden are actually taking up space,
they are not visible, but still taking up space.

   I was initially using onDomReady to send various ajax calls to get initial
content for the Table and other search items and that caused the problem to
accur very frequently.

   I changed onDomReady to window onload and this has reduced the frequency of
this problem, perhaps this is some sort of race condition.

   The code is quite extensive, and I'll be glad to add anything here, but
thought this might be enought to get a pointer from someone.

  The initial jsp page includes all the necessary yui components (2.7.0) and i
never get this problem on non-webkit browsers.

  at the end of my jsp, i'm actually calling:
	 <script type="text/javascript">
		 window.onload = function() {
			 createTable();
			 filter();
			 updatePortfolioSummary();
			 init();
		 }

	 </script>

Very simple, and pretty much each of these functions will send an ajax call
using connection mamanger to create the elements seen from the image, DataTable,
simpledialogue which serves as search on left, and other data gathering.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Without seeing the rest of the implementation code, I would guess that
setting overflow:hidden on the containing element will fix this.

If not, send along the rest of the code, and I will take a look.

Hi,
Take a look at the progressive enhancement technique ("Avoiding The
Initial Flash Of Unstyled Content") used in the following examples:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/container/module.html
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/container/dialog-quickstart.html

By window load (I imagine the init() function is creating your Dialog
instances), the page should have retrieved the container CSS required
to position the Dialog absolutely and hide it, thereby removing the
whitespace.

Hope that helps.

Yes of course, I'm all for search & sort, just saying that it should be possible to scroll through a large data volume using DataTable.

Subject: Creating dynamic containers

m_nhk

I want to be able to instantiate multiple panels dynamically, the examples in
YUI create the panels by hard coding when instantiating the Panels, thus:

YAHOO.example.container.panel1 = new YAHOO.widget.Panel("panel1" ...
YAHOO.example.container.panel2 = new YAHOO.widget.Panel("panel2" ...
YAHOO.example.container.panel3 = new YAHOO.widget.Panel("panel3" ...

I would be able to name the Panels dynamically by creating a global counter
function and do something like

{
counter++;
return "panel"+counter;
}

but I don't see how I can dynamically create the variable to reference:

YAHOO.example.container.panel1

any help on this would be great, I basically want to create a 1..n popups
thx
