Wt

Hey,

It sounds indeed like a bug. A small test case would probably provoke us to fix this quickly...

Hi koen,

sounds promising!

Please let me know in case i can contribute somehow.

Thanks,

Dieter

Hey Dieter,

You could help us by providing a test case ! That shows how you are using the API (with subtle choices that may affect the appearance of the bug).

Hi Koen,

I analyzed the problem more in detail and tried to reproduce it within a simple example.

BTW, sorry haven't got your test case hint immediately ;-)

Actually it turned out that the problem depends on jquery mobile usage.

Therefore i also corrected the topic title.

w/o jquery mobile being included everything works fine!

Unfortunately it's a mobile web application and i have to use jquery mobile.

I' using jquery 1.8.2 and jquery mobile 1.2.0.

I also tried newer jquery (1.9) and jquery mobile (1.3 latest) version, w/o success.

This is my wt-config file content:

<server>
<application-settings location="*">
<progressive-bootstrap>true</progressive-bootstrap>
</application-settings>
</server>


I slightly modified the BroadCast (attached) example by adding the mentioned selection box and an image.

Expected behaviour would be that every second the counter increases and that the selection and the image toggles.

Behaviour seems to be not deterministic. In the BroadCast example also the image doesn't toggle.

Don't know to what extend jquery mobile already is supported?

Best regards,

Dieter

Hey,

In the past we've done a project with JQuery Mobile (investigating how it would interact with Wt), but we didn't commit to supporting it. Our main conclusion was that it could be made to work but it's a fight against many parts of JQuery Mobile that do things behind the back of Wt.

The main problem with a toolkit like JQuery Mobile is that it has its JavaScript and CSS is tightly interwoven. It would be much nicer to see the CSS of JQuery Mobile in a form like that of Twitter Bootstrap, which we did now integrate with great success.

I could fix the test-case by calling the 'refresh' method on the form element after updating it. You will probably want to create specialized widgets that invoke the appropriate jquery mobile methods at the right times.

        selection_->setCurrentIndex(server.getCount() & 1);
        selection_->doJavaScript("$('#" + selection_->id() + "').slider('refresh');");

Hi Koen,

ok, got your point.

I tried to refresh the widget as you suggested and it works!

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sometimes i get a jquery mobile error "cannot call methods on " + name + \" prior to initialization; \" with this change for the widget.

But that's a different topic and isn't really related to WT.

Thanks again,

Dieter
