Issue with event timing. Autodesk Forge Viewer - autodesk-forge

I am having trouble with running code only when a toolbar button is clicked. Here is my code:
$(document).on('click', `#toolbar-markupTool`, function(e) {
console.log('hi');
});
This works with anything except the markupTool icon... lucky me! I think this is due to there being an event that hide the toolbar that is handled by the markups gui extension. When the icon is clicked, the toolbar gets hidden, so my guess is that my event doesn't get executed because the element is hidden now.
The reason why I absolutely need to do it this way because I have an element that captures a screenshot that must absolutely only be shown when markups mode is activated. Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this issue?

You can take advantage of EXTENSION_ACTIVATED_EVENT filtering by extensionId ("Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsGui") or TOOL_CHANGE_EVENT filtering by toolName("markups.core").

A link on my websites homepage doesn't work properly

I've got a problem where an anchor link on homepage isn't working properly. The link works if opened in another window. The link itself works fine, also I can see link when hovering with mouse over it.
The URL for my website is https://kuddexperten.se/
The button URL is https://kuddexperten.se/collections/kuddlandet
I've tried validate the code in JSON formatter etc, but since i got no experience of coding its kind of hard to identify the problem as i get alot of errors and warnings.
I've tried using diffrent browsers and turning off adblockers etc. It doesnt work either on desktop or mobilephone.
I'd be happy if anyone had a clue of why the button doesnt work as it should.
Picture of the button:
As you can see in Chrome's Elements / Event Listeners subtab, there's a JavaScript event listener on it in theme.js:
$('.btn-link').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // <------------------------- here's your saddle bur
var $this = $(this);
$this.closest('.card').toggleClass('open');
});
You probably shouldn't be using classes intended for a button element on an anchor.

Forge Viewer show UI while adding Markups

I'm working with the MarkupsCore extension and want to keep my added UI open inside the viewer while adding or working with Markups.
From what I can tell once I call enterEditMode the UI won't return until I hide all of my Markups. The buttons I have added don't seem to change state and their still marked as visible when I'm debugging, yet they don't show.
I tried setVisibility on the objects but the method returns false because it evaluates the buttons as not hidden.
Is there something I'm missing?
If I'm understanding your question right, that's expected as you cannot move/rotate/zoom the model when editing the Markups, mainly because these are SVG shapes on top of the view. Ideally you should also keep the Viewer state to restore when viewing the markups later.

How can I inspect html element that disappears from DOM on lost focus?

I'm trying to inspect CSS properties from an input into a table cell. The input appears on click and disappears on lost focus, as when I try to inspect it.
How can I do it to don't lost focus while I move to another window (the inspector)?
In Chrome browser, open Developer Tools and select Elements tab, then
open the contextual menu of the parent node of the element you want to inspect, in the contextual menu click on Break on > Subtree modifications.
Afterwards you just need to click on the page and you'll get on the inspector without losing focus or losing the element you want to inspect.
In chrome devtools settings, there is an option named Emulate a focused page which is disabled by default. After enabling this option, if you click anywhere on the devtool window, it wouldn't cause loss of focus on any element in the DOM.
For Chrome version >= 86:
Open devtools and then press Command+Shift+P (Mac) or Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) to open the Command Menu. Start typing Rendering in the Command Menu and select Show Rendering. There you can enable Emulate a focused page.
After that, just click on any element to focus, and then click anywhere on the devtool window. You would see that element doesn't lose the focus. So now you can easily inspect or debug.
For Chrome version < 86
Go to devtool settings -> preferences and under Global option, enable Emulate a focused page.
You can capture the disappearing element if you pause JavaScript execution without moving the mouse. You can do so with a keyboard shortcut or by triggering a debugger statement. This works for elements whose appearance is controlled by JavaScript, rather than CSS :hover (if CSS, see Dumba F.'s answer).
Keyboard shortcut
This approach works for pages which don't use JS to trigger special behavior on keypresses. These instructions are for Google Chrome, but can be adapted to other modern browsers:
Open up Developer Tools and go to Sources.
Note the shortcut to pause script execution—F8 (there may also be another shortcut depending on your OS).
Interact with the UI to get the element to appear.
Hit F8.
Now you can move your mouse around, inspect the DOM, whatever. The element will stay there.
debugger statement
To trigger a debugger statement which executes while the hovered element is visible, use setTimeout:
Open the JS console, and enter:
// Pause script execution in 5 seconds
setTimeout(() => { debugger; }, 5000)
Cause the hover to open and wait for the script execution to be paused.
(Same as Nick Farina's answer)
If all else fails, type this in the Console:
setTimeout(() => { debugger; }, 5000)
Then you've got 5 seconds (or change the value to anything else) to make whatever you want to debug appear.
None of the other answers worked for me - the DOM tree kept getting modified (i.e. stuff I care about disappeared) right before the script paused.
Not sure if this works in your situation but normally (and in every case worth to mention in this regard as it is a great tool) in Chrome Developer Tools you can simulate element states and one is also :focus.
To do so go to the Elements tab in the Developer Tools and make sure you are in the Styles section on the right (this should be the default location when you start the Developer Tools). Now just beneth the Styles in the top right corner you have an icon Toggle Element State. When you click it you can simulate :active, :hover, :focus and :visited for the element you selected on the left in your code view.
In Chrome on the developer tools page for the page under test... click the options menu and open settings for preferences... under DevTools enable 'Emulate a focused page'
Then in the test page cause the elements to appear. This worked to keep my popup search results is focused to stay on the screen so I could work with it.
Not a real solution, but it usually works (:
Focus the element
Right click for context menu
Move down to developer tools
I had a very difficult situation and no answer was working from here (I didn't verify the answers changing the container, which is the body for me, or the original event, because I don't know that). I finally found a workaround by breaking via the Control Event Listener Breakpoints in Chrome Inspector. Maybe that is also a cross browser way of breaking for complicated situations where even F8 or right clicking mouse hide the popup again:
Click right of element in chrome devtools ;-)
Paste the following Javascript in the browser developer console:
// Delayed console log of parent element with disappearing child element(s)
// Once code is trigger, you have 3 seconds to trigger the hidden element before it snapshots.
// The hidden elements should appear in the console ready to inspect.
var timer = 3000; //time before snapshot
var parent_of_element_to_inspect = 'div.elementcontainer'; //container of element to snapshot
setTimeout(function(){
console.log(document.querySelector(parent_of_element_to_inspect).cloneNode(true));
},timer);
I have a quicker fix since I'm not very good with using tools, here's what i do.
event.originalEvent.preventDefault();
event.originalEvent.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.originalEvent.stopPropagation();
If you open Chrome DevTools and then trigger the element inspector using keyboard shortcuts, it should solve the problem.
Mac: Cmd+Opt+J and then Cmd+Opt+C
Windows: Ctrl+Shift+J and then Ctrl+Shift+C

History pushState inside iframe, affecting parent window layout in Chrome?

I have an iframe in which the pushState is triggered in order to provide the user with the ability to browse back and forward.
This iframe has some transform applied to it, and the parent window responds to mouse move updating the perspective-origin.
See the page in question.
All is fine in Safari, but when browsing back in history with Chrome, the layout of the parent breaks horribly. This sounds crazy to me, as the iframe contents shouldn't ever influence the layout of the parent window.
To test you can browse a few tabs inside the iframe, then click the back button in the browser.
Also note how if you go to "People" tab, and open any of the persons with a picture, the "Back" button in the top left calls the same function bound to pop state (furnax.goBack), without affecting the parent window.
Either this is a bug, or browsing back the history does more than I think.
I hope anyone has some insight.
Popstate handler:
$(window).on("popstate", function () {
if (furnax.popStoryEnabled) furnax.goBack();
});
goBack function:
goBack: function () {
var myHistory = tempDb.getItem("prev").split(",");
var to = "";
if (myHistory != "") {
to = "#" + document.getElementById(myHistory[myHistory.length - 1]).id;
} else {
to = "#" + $(".view").first().attr("id");
}
furnax.load(to, "pushright", true);
myHistory.pop();
tempDb.setItem("prev", myHistory.toString());
},
This is happening for me in both Chrome 41 and Safari 8 on OS X 10.10.2. I don't think the issue is with pushState. I believe what's happening is that when you change the URL in the iframe, the browser sets focus on the iframe and auto-scrolls the document to show the full iframe.
I believe it's similar to a bug I'm experiencing with focusing on inputs inside a CSS transformed iframe. Webkit bug #143100, Chromium bug #470891.
I'm not sure if your situation qualifies as a bug, as I believe it's intended behavior for browsers to do everything they possibly can to show focused elements, even if that means scrolling an overflow:hidden element. Then again, I'm not positive the iframe is actually receiving focus, it might be a different issue that just has some overlap.
One thing I would try is to make the pop state handler move the "iPhone" to the center of the window, and only change its URL after it has finished animating. If that doesn't work, maybe you can take a look at the example page I reference in my bug reports. It might give you some additional insight into the nature of the automatic scrolling.

"Inspect" a hover element?

Note: I've read similar threads, but none quite my issue - I can right click on it fine, it just then disappears.
I find 'Inspect Element' an invaluable tool in Chrome, however I'm having trouble using it for sub-menu for an element on my nav bar, which pops up below on hover of its parent item.
The popup (or down) isn't quite styled how I'd like, so I right-click > inspect element to see what's coming from where exactly, and get a better idea of how to achieve my desired effect.
However, as soon as I move my mouse away from the menu, it's gone; thus I can't select different elements in the inspection pane, and see which area is highlighted at the same time.
Is there a way around this, without changing the menu, so that it stays 'popped up' once activated?
If the hover element is triggered by JS (if triggered by CSS :hover, see gmo's answer), you can inspect it if you pause script execution. This is a much simpler way of freezing the DOM than the other answers suggest. You can pause script execution without losing the hover element as follows:
1. Via a keyboard shortcut
Here's how you do it in Chrome. I'm sure Firefox has an equivalent procedure:
Open up Developer Tools and go to Sources.
Note the shortcut to pause script execution—F8 (there may also be another depending on your OS).
Interact with the UI to get the element to appear.
Hit F8.
Now you can move your mouse around, inspect the DOM, whatever. The element will stay there.
2. Via a delayed debugger statement
Some web pages attach keydown / keypress / keyup event listeners which interfere with the shortcut above. In those cases, you can pause script execution by triggering a debugger statement while the hover is open:
Open the JS console, and enter:
// Pause script execution in 5 seconds
setTimeout(() => { debugger; }, 5000)
Trigger the hover and wait for the debugger statement to execute.
If the hover effect is given with CSS then yes, I normally use two options to get this:
One, to see the hover effect when the mouse leave the hover area:
Open the inspector in docked window and increase the width until reach your HTML element, then right click and the popup menu must be over the inspector zone... then when you move the mouse over the inspector view, the hover effect keep activated in the document.
Two, to keep the hover effect even if the mouse is not over the HTML element, open the inspector, go to Styles TAB and click in the upper right icon that says Toggle Element State...(dotted rectangle with an arrow) There you can manually activate the Hover Event (among others) with the checkbox provided.
If it's not clear at all, let me know and I can add a few screenshots.
Edited: screenshot added.
And finally and as I say at the begining, I only be able to do this if the hover is set with CSS:HOVER... when you control the hover state with jQuery.onMouseOver for example, only works (sometimes), the method One.
Hope it helps.
What worked for me is selecting the specific a tag I wanted to inspect and configure it to break on attribute modification:
After doing the above, I would again normally select that a tag then the dropdown will automatically stay as-is even when I mouseover to other places like Inspect Element, etc.
You can just refresh the browser when doing inspecting the menu dropdown elements to go back to normal state.
Hope this helps. :)
You can also do this in the javascript console:
$('#foo').trigger('mouseover');
An that will "freeze" the element in the "hover" state.
Here's how I do it with no CSS changes or JS pausing in Chrome (I am on a Mac and do not have a PC in front of me if you are running on Win):
have your developer console open.
do not enable the hover inspection tool yet, but instead open up your desired sub menu by moving your mouse over it.
hit Command+Shift+C (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+C (Win/Linux)
now the hover inspection tool will apply to the elements you have opened in your sub-nav.
Open Inspect element
Now go to elements now on right side and select hover
It will show all hover effects
Not sure if it was present in previous browser revisions, but I just found out this extremely simple method.
Open the inspector in chrome or Firefox, right click on the element you are interested in, and select the appropriate option (in this case: hover).
This will trigger the associated CSS.
Screenshots from Firefox 55 and chromium 61.
I needed to do this, but the element I was trying to inspect was added and removed dynamically based on hover state of another element. My solution is similar to this one, but that didn't quite work for me.
So here's what I did:
Add simple script to enter debugger mode upon mouseover of the element that triggers the hover event you're concerned about.
$(document).on('mouseover', '[your-hover-element-selector]', function(e) {
debugger;
});
Then, with the dev console open in Chrome, hover over your element, and you will enter debugger mode. Navigate over to the sources section of the dev tools, and click the "Resume script execution" button (the blue play-like button below).
Once you do that, your DOM will be paused in the hover state, and you can use the element inspector to inspect all the elements as they exist in that state.
I found a very simple way to do this if for some reason you have problems with script pausing:
Open Dev Tools on "inspect"-tab.Hover to make the pop-up appear.Right-click on the desired element in your pop-up and press 'Q' (in Firefox) to inspect that element.Use keyboard to navigate: Arrow Up/Down: Move between elementsArrow Left/Right: Collapse/ExpandTab/Shift+Tab: Move between inspector and CSS rules and inside CSS RulesEnter: Edit CSS Rule
Excellent stuff!
Thank you to gmo for that advice. I did not know about those attribute settings massively helpful.
As a small revision to the wording I would explain that process as follows:
Right Click on the element you would like to style
Open 'Inspect' tool
On right hand side, navigate to the small Styles tab
Found above CSS stylesheet contents
Select the .hov option - This will give you all the settings
available for the selected HTML element
Click and Change all options to be inactive
Now Select the state that you would like to tweak - On activation of any of these, your Stylesheet will jump you directly to those settings:
Styles - Tweaking Filters - Interactive elements
This information was a lifesaver for me, cannot believe I have just heard about it!
Change the CSS so that the property which hides the menu isn't applied while you work on it is what I do.
