I am using a jQuery Dialog in a web application that uses Silverlight on several pages. When the dialog appears on pages with a SL window, the dialog is hidden behind the SL. I cannot use windowless mode. Is there any straight-forward way to make this dialog appear in front of SL?
You can always create a floating div of the same size as the dialog. It will be above the silverlight plugin. You'll also need code to dismiss the div when the dialog is closed.
The dialog will be part of the div and therfore float above it above the silverlight.
It appears to work fine using an iframe doing similar to what you explained with the floating div.
It might needs tweaking, but hopefully this can help others.
On your page, include an iframe like so:
<div id="popupDiv" style="display: none">
popup contents...
</div>
<iframe id='popupSupporter-iframe' tabindex='-1' frameborder='0' style='display: block;
position: absolute; z-index: -1; border: 0px none transparent; opacity: 0; top: auto;
left: auto; width: auto; height: auto;'></iframe>
And in the script portion where you declare your dialog:
$('#popupDiv').dialog({
open: function (event, ui) {
var myDialogIFrame = $('#popupSupporter-iframe');
var myDialog = $('#popupDiv').dialog("widget");
myDialogIFrame.css("z-index", "10");
var left = myDialog.offset().left + 'px';
var top = myDialog.offset().top + 'px';
var height = (myDialog.height() + 15) + 'px';
var width = (myDialog.width() + 15) + 'px';
$(myDialogIFrame).css("left", left).css("top", top).css("height", height).css("width", width);
},
close: function (event, ui) {
$('#popupSupporter-iframe').css("z-index", "-1");
}
});
Setting the following values for background and windowless attributes for the silverlight application worked for me :)
<param name="background" value="transparent" />
<param name="windowless" value="true" />

How would i come across the effect from this website http://www.theqcamera.com or http://plugandplaydesign.co.uk (the video + image at top) so that the image fills the screen on any screen size. Im not sure if this is responsive height but really would like to know how to do it.
There are a few ways to do this. The easiest is to use vh (vertical height) in your CSS. A setting of 100vh will make your div be 100% of the height of the screen being used to view the page. Combine this with a background image that is set to "cover" and a 100% width on the domain and you should be good to go.
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="div_1">
content
</div>
<div class="div_2">
other content
</div>
</div>
</body>
.div_1 {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
.div_2 {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Please note: vh is not supported in IE8. If you need to support IE8 for your project, going with position:absolute; height:100%; width:100%; margin: 0; is a slightly more complicated, but more backwards compatible answer.
try using height 100% , position absolute , margin 0 auto
this is how I've made my picture 100% on my website (http://www.dotto.be)
I'm using Ionic Framework to develop a mobile application for Android.
My issue is that I need to have a list of containers at random positions and are able to be clicked.
The list of containers are displayed correctly at the random positions but the click areas only work when i click at the top of the view, not at the position itself.
The clicking works fine in the mobile browsers at the correct position but when I run the app as a native application in Android, the clicks messed up.
It seems like clicking areas are lined up at the top of the view, does anyone know what is causing this?
The codes are here:
HTML file
<div class="col" ng-model="qtablelayout">
<div qtable ng-model='qtable' ng-repeat='qtable in qtablelayout.qtables' class="tablediv" ng-class="qtable.tstatus" ng-style="{'left': {{qtable.x}}+'px', 'top':{{qtable.y}}+'px'}" ng-click="tblActions(qtable)">
<h2>{{qtable.tableNo}}</h2>
<ul>
<li class="tablesize">{{qtable.currentHP.qsize}}/{{qtable.maxSize}}</li>
<li class="tabletime">{{qtable.tabletime.hours}}h {{qtable.tabletime.mins}}m {{qtable.tabletime.secs}}s</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS file
div.tablediv
{
position: absolute;
background: url("../img/table/tablestatus.png") no-repeat;
color: #fff !important;
width: 178px;
height: 178px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
The Controller side
$scope.tblActions = function(m)
{
alert("x:" + m.x + ",y:" + m.y);
}
I found out the cause of the problem is that I had an Ion-Refresher before the list of containers and it seemed to have shifted up the clicking areas together with the space for the Ion-Refresher.
It worked when I put the Ion-Refresher at the bottom of the HTML.
When we want to insert a Facebook like box, we're given auto-generated code to insert into our website.
Unfortunately, the width of the like box is hard baked into the code:
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/bibandtucker.net.au" data-width="450" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="false" data-width="300" data-header="true" data-stream="true" data-show-border="false"></div>
How can I make the Facebook like box responsive, so that it will reduce in width to accommodate content areas less than the hard coded width value?
You can see the problem on this website. Watch what happens when you reduce the width of the view port.
You can make it fluid by doing this (googled for it):
.fb_iframe_widget,
.fb_iframe_widget span,
.fb_iframe_widget span iframe[style] {
width: 100% !important;
min-width: 200px;
}
You can make it responsive by finding where it starts messing up the layout:
#media (max-width:1100px) {
.fb_iframe_widget,
.fb_iframe_widget span,
.fb_iframe_widget span iframe[style] {
width: 100% !important;
min-width: 200px;
}
}
Since it's an iframe that you don't control, you can't style it further.
Demo: http://jsbin.com/mehil/1
This no longer works as of 2015 -- facebook has updated their code so that there is a minimum width of 180px.
to get around this you have to use JS.
in this case, .facebook-likebox is the wrapper (which is dynamically being scaled in relation to other elements), and .fb-page is the container for the iframe. the code is cross browser.
here is my code snippit:
facebookScale = function () {
var adjustWidth;
adjustWidth = $('.facebook-likebox').width() / 180;
return $('.fb-page').css({
'-webkit-transform': 'scale(' + adjustWidth + ')',
'-moz-transform': 'scale(' + adjustWidth + ')',
'transform': 'scale(' + adjustWidth + ')'
});
}
$(function(){
$(window).on('resize', facebookScale);
})
EDIT: also make sure the following is in your CSS:
.fb-page{
transform-origin: 0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin: 0px 0px;
-moz-transform-origin: 0px 0px;
}
Edit 2: facebook seems to have updated the widget to now have a min width of 180. so the code has been updated to reflect that. the widget should resize to fit the width of your container otherwise
<div class="fb-wrap">
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/#"
data-width="100%" data-height="#"
data-show-faces="true" data-stream="false" data-header="false"></div>
</div>
.fb-wrap {
padding-top: 10px; width:90%; margin: 0 auto;}
.fb-like-box, .fb-like-box span, .fb-like-box span iframe[style]
{width: 100% !important; }
This works perfectly for me
this works for me with show faces true
.fb_iframe_widget,.fb_iframe_widget span,.fb_iframe_widget span iframe[style]
{max-width: 100% !important;}
I want to include a "google+1" button on a page, yet I want to use a custom image with a custom size for it and preferably without javascript, much like is possible to do with Facebook and Twitter. I don't care if it don't show the count number for now.
Finally! Found a nice solution to this problem. So simple and working :) Hope it helps you!
<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=ADD_YOUR_URL" >
<img src="path_to_your_image" alt="Google+" title="Google+"/>
</a>
Source: http://notesofgenius.com/how-develop-custom-google-plus-button/
This is the official example from the google developers page:
Also consider that the URL was updated.
<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;">
<img src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-64.png" alt="Share on Google+"/>
</a>
use opacity 0 to just make it invisible. Then use background for making it looks like what you want.
<style>
.my_custom_googleplusone{
overflow: hidden;
background: url(blahblah.png);
}
.my_custom_googleplusone:hover{
background: url(blahblah2.png);
}
</style>
<div class="my_custom_googleplusone">
/// GOOGLE BUTTON WITH OPACITY OF 0 (and z-index 1 with absolute position);
</div>
You can overlay an image and keep functionality:
http://tcg.ellininc.com/buttonTest/
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<style>
.my_custom_googleplusone{
overflow: hidden;
background-image: url(styled.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 30px;
width: 161px;
position: absolute;
pointer-events: none;
}
.my_custom_googleplusone:hover{
visibility: hidden;
}
.hideMe {
height: 30px;
width: 161px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1; !Important
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div><g:plusone></g:plusone></div><br />
<div class="my_custom_googleplusone"></div>
<div class="hideMe"><g:plusone></g:plusone></div>
</body>
My apologies for any extraneous css.
If you were willing to use JavaScript, this will give a more official experience.
HTML
<a href="#" onclick="gPlus('http://example.com');" title="+1">
<img src="custom-image.png" alt="Google+ +1 Button">
</a>
JavaScript
function gPlus(url){
window.open(
'https://plus.google.com/share?url='+url,
'popupwindow',
'scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=400'
).focus();
return false;
}
If you include that function globally, you can have such buttons all over the place without using multiple, lengthy, in-line onClicks.
I used Chrome's element inspector to figure out the elements to target (you could also use Firebug):
The original sprite for +1 is here: https://ssl.gstatic.com/s2/oz/images/stars/po/Publisher/sprite.png
On my implementation, the rendered <a> has a classes of a-sb-ig-e and a-sb-ig-ps-e and its parent is a <div> with a class of a-sb-ML
From there, you could simply style the button within your own CSS. Similarly, you can also style the counter bubble by inspecting it and figuring out its element's classes.
Edit: since the +1 button is called within an iframe, what I described above won't work. What you could do instead is target the +1 div and set its opacity to 0, then place it on top of your own image. The div ID to target is #___plusone_0
Considering the button resides in an iframe and due to cross-domain restrictions, altering this is unlikely.
This is my solution for using a custom icon for the official google +1 code
+1 Button - Google+ Platform - Google Developers
<style type="text/css">
.google-plus-container {
position: absolute; /* just to position the container where i wante the button, position absoliute or relative is required*/
right: 0;
top: 0; }
.google-plus-iframe {
z-index: 1;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
-moz-opacity: 0;
-khtml-opacity: 0;
opacity: 0;
}
.google-plus-icon {
z-index: -1;
width: 32px;
height: 20px;
background: transparent url(http://static.educations.com/masterpages/pics/icons/social/gplusbw.png) no-repeat;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
<div class="google-plus-container">
<div class="google-plus-icon"></div>
<div class="google-plus-iframe">
<!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render. -->
<div class="g-plusone" data-size="medium" data-annotation="none"></div>
<!-- Place this tag after the last +1 button tag. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.___gcfg = { lang: 'sv' };
(function () {
var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>
</div>
</div>
Works like a charm
You should use this now: https://plus.google.com/share?url=URL_HERE
When running our Silverlight 3 application out-of-browser, startup takes a little time, but it's long enough to be noticeable. During this startup, the background of the window hosting the application displays an ugly white background color. When running in-browser, we have a splash screen, but that's loaded via JavaScript of course. How can I get a splash screen working for an out-of-browser Silverlight 3? Or if that's not possible, is there a way I can at least change the background color of the window?
I actually found a way to do this. Hooray! Much credit goes to the document found at this page. Note that we're distributing our application on disk; these instructions won't work for a Silverlight application installed by a user from the web.
It turns out that the Silverlight launcher loads an HTML page at the start. Where the application gets installed, there's an index.html file. The page contains an <object> tag similar to the one used to host Silverlight on the Web.
Unfortunately, this <object> does not support the Silverlight splash screen XAML or progress indicator, which I guess is to be expected since the XAP isn't being downloaded. Also, setting the background color of the page or of the <object> also doesn't seem to take effect. However, it turns out that it's just that Windows immediately starts drawing the plugin, so the default window color is shown while doing so.
To work around this, I set the visibility of the <div> that hosts the Silverlight to hidden. Then, at the bottom of the HTML, I added a <script> that sets a timer. When the timer fires, the visibility of the <div> is changed to visible, and the Silverlight object is given focus. Even if the timer is set to 1 millisecond, that allows the HTML's host a chance to do the initial drawing of the web page. That allows any content underneath the Silverlight to show up.
Here's my entire HTML page:

Unfortunately, Silerlight 3 does not provide a way to customize this.
