#4908 closed feature (fixed)

Support cross-window use of plugins

Description

One great jQuery's feature is that you can pass a context for a selector (ie: $("#target", top.document)) and this allows to use functions among different windows/iframes, anyway when jQuery UI attaches its own handlers, the context argument is ignored!

You can reproduce the problem creating an iframe inside a page and by placing into the iframe a code like:

$("#tabs", top.document).tabs();

You will see the tabs rendered in the page but, once you click on any tab you will get: "uncaught exception: jQuery UI Tabs: Mismatching fragment identifier."

These kind of errors are raised by all plugins.

Can't apply 'sortable' plugin to elements in frame form the top frame. Example: 1.html 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
	<button onclick="makeSortable()">make sortable</button>
	<hr/>
	<iframe src="2.html" height="300" id="frm"></iframe>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	//<![CDATA[
	function makeSortable()
	{
		$0('#holder', $0('#frm').get(0).contentDocument).sortable({'axis': 'y'});
	}
	//]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>

2.html 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
	<div id="holder">
		<div>11111111111</div>
		<div>22222222222</div>
		<div>33333333333</div>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

After the button is clicked I try to sort elements in 'frm' frame, but the behavoir of them is realy wierd. For example I need to drag items out of the frame's bounds to see that something is changed. (jqueryui is 1.7.2, jquery 1.3.2)

I believe this ticket is the key issue preventing use of jQuery UI in GreaseMonkey.

(I would provide a link but akismet doesn't seem to like me)

The widget factory provides window and document properties. Once all widgets make consistent use of those, this issue should resolved.

Places where document is accessed directly:

  • jquery.ui.core: scrollParent() and zIndex() use document
  • datepicker (no use of widget factory)
  • draggable
  • effect. and effect-transfer
  • mouse
  • position, for the fraction support test
  • resizable
  • sortable

Places where window is accessed directly:

  • datepicker
  • dialog, the position.of property defaults to window
  • draggable
  • position, for the default within:window
  • sortable
  • spinner, to access Globalize

Resolution: → fixed
Status: open → closed

Closing fixed as the majority of cases have been handled. The remaining should be covered in the remaining rewrites. Any other issues should be reported as individual bugs.
