Question

Hidding a java applet with jquery ? Possible ?

Answer 1

+1 A:

You can remove it's DOM object, or set it's CSS property to hidden.

jQuery("#applet").remove();

or

jQuery("#applet").hide();

You can also kill the applet:

 <script>
 document.MyApplet.killApplet();
 </script>

 public void killApplet() 
 {
    AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() 
   {

        public Void run() {
            // kill the JVM
            System.exit(0);
            return null;
        }
    });
 }

However, this stops the applet, and throws JS errors in IE6

You can also set the applets size to (1,1), and set it back when you're finished.

jQuery("#applet").height(1).width(1);

Ok, .hide() works. But when I put 'show' it doesn't show it back

Try a show on the applet itself instead of it's DIV

i have : <applet id="myapplet"> and then $("#myapplet").hide() works, but $("#myapplet").show() doesn't.

Flash has this problem too, you set the Window Mode to transparent for it. Don't know if you can do this with Java Applets or not.

mmmh ... is there a way to tell jquery to 'change' the applet src ? that could solve the problem

Disco 2010-02-15 18:40:21

jQuery("#applet").attr("src", "null");

mmh seems a bug of fancy box : $(document).ready(function(){ $("a#ajax").fancybox({ 'onStart': function() { alert ('opened');}, 'onClosed': function() { alert ('closed'); } });});onclosed is never displayed.

Disco 2010-02-15 18:47:43

So trigger it yourself :) jQuery("fancybox").trigger("closed");

Malfist 2010-02-15 18:49:30

i'm really new to jquery; what is the 'trigger' supposed to do ? how to use it ?

Disco 2010-02-15 18:51:16

trigger triggers an event handler. You can use it to cause custom events. http://api.jquery.com/trigger/ For example, if I did jQuery("#button").tigger("click") it would fire the click event of the button.

Malfist 2010-02-15 18:58:55

ok I see but i need to do some action when user clicks on the close button of fancybox; onClosed function doesn't seem to work (http://fancybox.net/api)

Disco 2010-02-15 19:03:23

manage the click event for the close button

Answer 2

+1 A:

Try something like this:

var save=$('#applet').clone();
$('#applet').html('');

and when You need it back

$('#applet').html(save.html());
save=null; //to free this bit of memory

not tested, but I expect it to work ;)
