Im trying to find out a good JavaScript library that can create a nice "inner-window" popup within a page on my site. I would like to not have to worry about screen positioning (i.e. dont have to calcuate if the size of the window will be off screen, etc...), but just make a new pop-up that has content in it. I'll be using .NET 3.5 ASP...
I have a div that contains several child elements, one of which is a flash movie. When rolling over this div, I want it to change style to indicate it is rolled over. My problem is that the mouseover and mouseout javascript events don't always trigger, especially if the user moves the mouse over the flash element too quickly. Any sugge...

if ($('status_'+id).getText()=="Active") anybody knows why JS returns false even if the passed string is "Active"? i also tried changing the code to if ($('status_'+id).getText()==String("Active")) or even if (String($('status_'+id).getText())=="Active") and still no luck T_T... i've also checked $('status_'+id).getText() throu...

I've been trying to track this one for literally a month now without any success. I have this piece of code on an car advertising website which basically allows thumbnails to rotate in search results given that a car has multiple pictures.

A strict equality operator will tell you if two object types are equal, however, is there any way to tell if two objects are equal, much like the hash code value in Java? This is similar to this question, but requires a more academic answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194846/is-there-any-kind-of-hashcode-function-in-javascript...
In my javascript experience, I found that is a very common task "searching the nearest ancestor of an element with some condition (tag name, class,...)". Can the parents() method of jquery do the job? The order of returned elements of parents() is predictable? Is top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top? For the moment I use this utility functio...

At the moment I am generating a string containing the empty html using a loop divstr = '<div></div><div></div>...<div></div>'; and then injecting that into my container: $('#container').html(divstr); Is there a more elegant way to insert multiple, identical ele...
What is the best jQuery status message plugin? I like jGrowl and Purr, but jGrowl doesn't have the feature to remain sticky (not close automatially) and Purr doesn't seem to work right in IE 6. I would like to show messages like... the site is about to go down for maintenance, your such and such job has completed, and stuff like that. ...
I have a one-dimensional array of strings in Javascript that I'd like to turn into a comma-separated list. Is there a simple way in garden-variety Javascript (or jQuery) to turn that into a comma-separated list? (I know how to iterate through the array and build the string myself by concatenation if that's the only way.) ...
Hey right now I'm using jQuery and I have some global variables to hold a bit of preloaded ajax stuff (preloaded to make pages come up nice and fast): $.get("content.py?pageName=viewer", function(data) {viewer = data;}); $.get("content.py?pageName=artists", function(data) {artists = data;}); $.get("content.py?pageName=instores"...
I have a page where search resuts are shown both in a grid and on a map (using KML generated on the fly, overlaid on an embedded Google map). I've wired this up to work as the user types; here's the skeleton of my code, which works: $(function() { // Wire up search textbox $('input.Search').bind("keyup", update); }); update = f...
I am performing a lot of JavaScript work in the browser and would like to have some of that backend functionality in the front-end. Specifically, it would be nice to have the functions get(), save(), all() and count() available to the client. Additionally, it would be great to have the field list of the model already available in the gen...
I would like to have an input element (type=text) or textarea element that validates dynamically by triggering specific keystrokes. This will be used for Chinese pinyin input, so for example: The user types "ma2" into an input element. The keydown event triggers for every keystroke, and the 2 never appears. Instead, when the user pre...
I am building an application where most of the HTML is built using javascript. The DOM structure is built using some JSON data structures that are sent from the server, and then the client-side code builds a UI for that data. My current approach is to walk the JSON data structures, and call script.aculo.us's Builder.node method to bu...
I'm writing an asp.net application. I have a textbox on a webform and I want to force whatever the user types to upper case. I'd like to do this on the front end. You should also note that there is a validation control on this textbox, so I want to make sure the solution doesn't interfere with the asp.net validation. Clarification: It a...
