I am using JQueryUI draggable and I would like to be able to add styling to the draggable element while it is being dragged. I have tried variations on this code:
$(".ui-widget-content").draggable({
drag: function(event, ui) {
$(this).css("width", "50px");
});
However, my attempts have failed and I believe it it because I don't know how to get the draggable element from the ui object. What am I missing?
No need for extra JavaScript. Just use this CSS selector:
.ui-draggable-dragging {
/*
This class is applied to the element while it is being dragged.
This is done automatically by jQueryUI.
*/
width: 50px;
}
Read the docs here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/#overview-main

We are adding custombuttons to our fullcalendar like below.
Is there a way to change the background and foreground color of the button?
And is there a way to set padding or margins to the custom buttons?
var calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
customButtons: {
myCustomButton: {
text: 'custom!',
click: function() {
alert('clicked the custom button!');
}
}
},
headerToolbar: {
left: 'prev,next today myCustomButton',
center: 'title',
right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay'
}
});
Yes, you can set any properties you like using CSS.
On inspecting how fullCalendar renders the buttons in HTML, I noticed it gives each one a class according to the property name of the button.
For example, if - per your sample code - you call the button myCustomButton then fullCalendar will give the rendered <button a CSS class called fc-myCustomButton-button. This means you can specify any rules you like for that class, e.g.:
.fc-myCustomButton-button
{
background-color: red !important;
}
(You need the !important so that fullCalendar's other CSS rules don't override it.)

I have a textarea generated with the bellow js code, I also have a button that creates additional text areas when clicked, I NEED to make each text area draggable, Ussually because the "id" is "myForm" it should become draggable using jquery $('#myForm') but it does not work, I have try all forms but it does not work. I also have check similar questions but not luck... I will appreciate if some one can help me out. in the folder I have the Html, The css and all jquery libraries working Ok.
I check with the alert box.
Note: all I need is a textarea with a button to add as many additional text areas and this areas to be draggable, the code to generate this text areas can be any code. In case there is a easier way to accomplish the same thing... Thank you in advance.
function myFunction() {
var x = document.createElement("FORM");
x.setAttribute("id", "myForm");
document.body.appendChild(x);
var y = document.createElement("TEXTAREA");
document.getElementById("myForm").appendChild(y);
}
Is HTML5 Drag and Drop what you are looking for?
All you need to do is define draggable=true in your element and code the relevant ondragstart and ondragend logic. This works with both vanilla JS and frameworks like React.
Made for you kindly however dosn't work in this editor
var new_offset = {top:30, left:40};
var new_width = 200;
var new_height = 150;
var newElement$ = $('<div><textarea id="textarea"></textarea></div>')
.width(new_width)
.height(new_height)
.draggable({
cancel: "text",
start: function (){
$('#textarea').focus();
},
stop: function (){
$('#textarea').focus();
}
})
.resizable()
.css({
'position' : 'absolute',
'background-color' : 'gray',
'border-color' : 'black',
'border-width' : '1px',
'border-style' : 'solid'
})
.offset(new_offset)
.appendTo('body');
textarea {
height:100%;
background-color:whit;
width:100%;
resize:none; border:none;
padding:0px; margin:0px;
}
div { padding:0px; }

I hacked it and piggy tailed to a span element this way the span element is easy to make draggable with jquery, The textarea is not draggable but it has to follow the span element THUS is draggable.
The span element has the class= "drag",then I used the jquery $('.drag').draggable and that made the whole trick. Dirty code BUT it works 100% the way I needed.
I would like to extend the native button element but I am not sure how to add styling. In Google's example here they don't use a template so the fancy-button custom element itself is the button, rather than adding a template and shadow DOM containing a button element. It seems to defeat the object of extending a native element if I just add a button directly to the shadow DOM, but I don't know how to style and extend native element. How can I create a custom element which is simply the native button element extended to have a red background?
var style = `button { background-color: red; };
class FancyButton extends HTMLButtonElement {
constructor() {
super();
}
customElements.define('fancy-button', FancyButton, {extends: 'button'});
since you don't have shadowDOM involved you can use global CSS
you can set styles in the connectedCallback: this.style.background='red'
you can dynamically create a STYLE tag with unique identifier scoping your element
See JSFiddle for all 3 examples: https://jsfiddle.net/WebComponents/gohzwvL4/
Important is the notation for your Customized Built-In Element
Correct : <button is="fancy-button></button>
InCorrect: <fancy-button></fancy-button> (this is Autonomous Element notation)
.
Firefox pitfall:
The INcorrect notation works in Firefox , but not in Chrome & Opera
Firefox processes Extended Built-In Elements with Autonomous Element notation
but only for elements created in the DOM prior to definition:
This
<fancy-button>Hello Fancy Red Button #1</fancy-button>
<script>
class FancyButton extends HTMLButtonElement {
constructor() {
super();
}
connectedCallback() {
this.style.background = 'red';
}
}
customElements.define('fancy-button', FancyButton, { extends: 'button' });
</script>
<fancy-button>Hello Fancy Red Button #2</fancy-button>
is displayed in Firefox as:
any number of Custom Elements before the SCRIPT tag are colored!
When the <SCRIPT> is moved into the <HEAD> Firefox won't color any background
When the script is executed after the onload event all buttons are colored
This is non-standard behaviour!
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;
}
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;
