show kendo tooltip only when ellipsis is active - kendo-grid

I want to show a tooltip when the content of a kendo grid element is only partially visible. I am not able to control the display of a tooltip on the elements of a kendo grid.
I saw this issue has been discussed but I'm not able to find The problem, it seems to be the values of offsetWidth and scrollWidth.
The ellipsis works as expected defining in a css
.k-grid td {
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
table-layout: fixed;
}
As I saw on this forum I use a function to detect when ellipsis, namely
function isEllipsisActive(e) {
return (e.offsetWidth < e.scrollWidth);
}
and I call it on the mouseenter event as
kendoGrid.tbody.on("mouseenter", "> tr > td", function (e) {
var target = e.target;
if (isEllipsisActive(target)) {
return target.outerText;
}
return false;
});
The problem is that misteriously I get scrollWidth and offsetWidth equal, while I expected scrollWidth to vary according to the content of the element.
How is this possible, and what am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for any help
best regards

Here is an example of how to show tooltip only when there is a text with ellipsis (partially visible in the cell) and don't show tooltip if there is a full text is visible or if there is no text in the cell.

How to set Overflow:hidden but still make scrollbar visible?

When modal is shown I add a class with overflow: hodden to body tag. So content behind the modal is not scrolling. Everything is good.
BUT
If the original page is big enough to have a scrollbar, then I can see ugly shift of the page to the right, when I open the modal. I find out the reason of such behavior. Overflow: hidden causes scrollbar to dissapear, so that's why it is ~10px shift to the right.
My question is how to fix this. In fact, I need to apply overflow:hidden but still have scrollbar shown.
(function() {
let _scrollPosition;
function preventScroll(e) {
e.preventDefault();
window.scroll(..._scrollPosition);
}
function lock() {
_scrollPosition = [window.pageXOffset, window.pageYOffset];
$(window).on('scroll touchmove', preventScroll);
}
function unlock() {
$(window).off('scroll touchmove', preventScroll);
}
return {
lock,
unlock
};
})();
You can just lock the scrolling position as soon as you open the modal with this code.

How to correctly override .ng-hide class in order to change hiding/showing nature?

When using ng-hide or ng-show directives a .ng-class is added or removed so DOM elements are visible or not.
However they kinda get positional "removed" as for example, hiding or showing two continous div elements one on top of the other.
<div ng-show="condition1">First div</div>
<div ng-show="condition2">Second div</div>
So, if condition1 evaluates to false first div will be hidden BUT second div will take the position which the just hidden div took.
How can I avoid that? I only want DOM elements to be invisible but not to get somehow removed.
First workaround.
I tried to overried .ng-hide class and getting a secondary class, only-hide, for elements on which I wanted this effect:
.ng-hide.only-hide {
visibility: hidden !important;
}
But didn't get results so far.
I achieved it with this second class approach by setting:
.ng-hide.only-hide {
visibility: hidden !important;
display: block !important;
}
As Angular sets .ng-hide with display:none, I make it invisible but present setting display:block.
To preserve and maintain the space occuped by the div you can't use directly ng-hide or ng-show.
You can use the ng-style directive as following:
<div ng-style="conditionHide1">First div</div>
<div ng-style="conditionHide2">Second div</div>
then your conditionHide1 and conditionHide2 should be like
if (condition1)
$scope.conditionHide1= {'visibility': 'hidden'}; // then div1 will hidden.
else
$scope.conditionHide1= {'visibility': 'visible'}; // then div1 will visible.
if (condition2)
$scope.conditionHide2= {'visibility': 'hidden'}; // then div2 will hidden.
else
$scope.conditionHide2= {'visibility': 'visible'}; // then div2 will visible.
You can change the visibility of the button by changing the $scope.conditionHide1 and $scope.conditionHide2 according to your conditions.
Solution2 by using a custom directive:
Create a new directive named condition and relative to an Attribute. Set-up a watch to watch the value of the attribute and, based on the value, set to the element (in this case the div) an appropriate css style. The value is mapped to the variable showDiv which change his value by clicking on the button. Clicking on the button, the value showDiv became the opposite !showDiv and the watch change the visibility from visible to hidden and vice-versa.
angular.module('MyModule', [])
.directive('condition', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attributes) {
scope.$watch(attributes.condition, function(value){
element.css('visibility', value ? 'visible' : 'hidden');
});
}
};
})
.controller('MyController', function($scope) {
$scope.showDiv = true;
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app='MyModule' ng-controller='MyController'>
<div condition='showDiv'>Div visible/invisible</div>
<button ng-click='showDiv = !showDiv'>Hide div or show it</button>
</div>

Prevent screen from moving when clicking on <a href=></a>

I'm using <a href> element along with :target css selector to show a <div> which by default is set to display:none. Problem is, that when I click on the link to show that <div>, it is automatically scrolling down my site towards that <div>.
Is there a way to stop the screen movement?
Unfortunately I am not yet proficient in anything besides CSS and HTML.
You can use event.preventDefault() to avoid this. Something like this:
$('a.yourclass').click(function(e)
{
//your code
e.preventDefault();
});
OR:
link
in the link enter:
Link here
You'll need JS anyway:
// (in jQuery)
$el.on('click', function(e) {
// find current scroll position
var pos = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
// let normal action propagate etc
// in the next available frame (async, hence setTimeout), reset scroll posiion
setTimeout(function() {
window.scrollTo(0, pos);
}, 1);
})
I don't know if this will flicker the screen. It might. It's a horrible hack either way.
In my Chrome, there's no flicker: http://jsfiddle.net/rudiedirkx/LEwNd/1/show/
There are two ways to tell the browser we don't want it to act:
The main way is to use the event object. There's a method
event.preventDefault().
If the handler is assigned using on (not by
addEventListener), then we can just return false from it.
Example:
Click here
or
here
This is a bit of a hack but you could use a basic css work around:
CSS only Example
#div1 {
height: 0;
overflow:hidden;
}
#div1:target {
height: auto;
margin-top: -110px;
padding-top: 110px;
}
#div2 {
background:red;
}
Click to show
<div id="div1">
<div id="div2">Content</div>
</div>
If you need it to be a little more flexible you can add some js...
More Flexible Example with JS
$('a').click(function () {
$('#div1').css({
'margin-top': 0 - $('#div1').position().top + $(window).scrollTop(),
'padding-top': $('#div1').position().top - $(window).scrollTop()
});
});
Basically you're pulling the top of div1 up with the negative margin and then pushing div2 back down with the padding, so that the top of div1 rests at the top of the window... Like I said its a hack but it does the trick.
Those links are anchor-links and by default made for those jumps :) You could use JS to prevent the default behaviour in some way. For example using jQuery:
$('a').click(function(e){e.preventDefault();});
or by default add return false; to the links
Avoid using :target all together and just use onclick event.
function myFunction()
{
document.getElementById('hiddenDiv').style.display = 'block';
return false;
}

How to create a "placeholder" for DIV that act like textfield?

Div don't have a placeholder attribute
<div id="editable" contentEditable="true"></div>
I want <Please your enter your Name> to show in DIV when the User backspace the whole text in the DIV, or no text on inside, How can I do it?
Here is a pure CSS only solution:-
<div contentEditable=true data-ph="My Placeholder String"></div>
<style>
[contentEditable=true]:empty:not(:focus):before{
content:attr(data-ph)
}
</style>
Here, we basically select all contentEditable <divs> that are empty & blurred. We then create a pseudo element before the CSS selection (the editable div) and fix our placeholder text (specified the data-ph attribute) as its content.
If you are targeting old school CSS2 browsers, change all occurrences of data-ph to title
Correction.......the :empty selector is not supported in IE version 8 and earlier.
What I find in other answers is that when using :not(:focus) pseudo class, I have to click again in order to get the blinking cursor and be able to type. Such issue doesn't happen if I click on an area other than the placeholder.
My workaround is simply removing :not(:focus). Even though in this way the placeholder will still be there after I click on the editable div, I'm able to type no matter where in the div I click, and the placeholder disappears immediately after I type something.
BTW, I inspected YouTube's comment div implementation, seems they are doing the same thing, e.g. #contenteditable-root.yt-formatted-string[aria-label].yt-formatted-string:empty:before
.editableDiv1,
.editableDiv2 {
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
outline: none;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.editableDiv1[contentEditable="true"]:empty:not(:focus):before {
content: attr(placeholder)
}
.editableDiv2[contentEditable="true"]:empty:before {
content: attr(placeholder)
}
<div class="editableDiv1" contentEditable=true placeholder="If you click on this placeholder, you have to click again in order to get the blinking cursor and type..."></div>
<div class="editableDiv2" contentEditable=true placeholder="Click on placeholder is fine, it'll disappear after you type something..."></div>
You can try this one !
html:
<div contentEditable=true data-text="Enter name here"></div>
css:
[contentEditable=true]:empty:not(:focus):before{
content:attr(data-text) }
check it out (demo)
in HTML
<div id="editable" contenteditable="true">
<p>Please your enter your Name</p>
</div>
in JavaScript
jQuery.fn.selectText = function(){
var doc = document;
var element = this[0];
console.log(this, element);
if (doc.body.createTextRange) {
var range = document.body.createTextRange();
range.moveToElementText(element);
range.select();
} else if (window.getSelection) {
var selection = window.getSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(element);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
}
};
$("#editable").click(function() {
$("#editable").selectText();
});

Item of sortable element loses its CSS styles when it is being dragged? (If appendTo: 'body')

I have a sortable list of items that returns results based on what the user types in the search box. The results always overflows and here i am using the following css for it:
#list { overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: hidden; }
This allows me to have only a vertical scrollbar. I then drag the individual li's that are in the list over to a droppable area. The sortable functionality is added to the list using the JQuery below:
$("#list").sortable({
connectWith: ".connectedSortable",
helper: 'clone',
appendTo: 'body',
zIndex: 999
});
The reason i use the appendTo: 'body' is to ensure that the item that is being dragged is on top of everything and will not be under the list's other items when being dragged. However, whenever I drag any item from the list, the DIVs that are in the item will have their CSS styling gone.
I understand that this is due to the fact that when the item is dragged, it is appended to 'body' and thus does not have any parent to inherit the original CSS styles.
My question is how do i style the dragged item back to its original styling to make sure it stays the same even if I am dragging/not dragging it? through the events?
EDIT:
Found the reason for the css messing up. It was a random br thrown in between two div's causing it to be interpreted differently when the item was being dragged and appended to the body.
You have two options to sort the problem. One is to create your own helper with the function. This way you can style is any way you want, wrap it in an element, add classes, etc.
The following demo shows the difference, the top one works, the bottom one is broken. http://jsfiddle.net/hPEAb/
$('ul').sortable({
appendTo: 'body',
helper: function(event,$item){
var $helper = $('<ul></ul>').addClass('styled');
return $helper.append($item.clone());
}
});
The other option is not to use append:'body', but to play with zIndex. Your zIndex:999 clearly has no effect, since the default value is 1000. :) The problem with zIndex is that it only matters for siblings, elements within the same parent. So if you have another sortable on your form with a greater zIndex than your current sortable, its items could easily be on top of your dragged one, regardless of the zIndex of your currently dragged item.
The solution is to push your whole sortable on top when dragging starts and restore it when it stops:
$('#mySortable').sortable({
start: function(){
// Push sortable to top
$(this).css('zIndex', 999);
},
stop: function(){
// Reset zIndex
$(this).css('zIndex', 0);
}
});
If the original value matters, you can even save the original zIndex with .data() and retrieve it afterwards.
Thank you DarthJDG. I am aware this thread is a little old but I hope to help others that had the same issue I did.
I had to edit your solution a little bit because the styling was off when appending the item to the helper. I ended up just recreating the list element. Just in case others run into the same issue I did.
I added this into the area where I created the sortable.
I took the text out of the sortable and created a new list item with that as text.
Javascript:
appendTo: 'body',
helper: function(event,$item){
console.log(event);
var $helper = $('<ul class = "styled" id="' + event.originalEvent.target.id + '"><li>' + event.originalEvent.target.innerText + '</li></ul>');
return $helper;
}
I was then able to add custom styling to the draggable object, including custom text with out an issue. The styling I ended up using was that of JQuery Smoothness.
CSS:
.styled li{
margin-left: 0px;
}
.styled{
cursor:move;
text-align:left;
margin-left: 0px;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 1.2em;
width: 390px;
border: 1px solid lightGrey;
background: #E6E6E6 url(https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/themes/smoothness/images/ui-bg_glass_75_e6e6e6_1x400.png) 50% 50% repeat-x;
