Off-topic / Re: jQuery(document).ready function issue
« on May 18th, 2013, 11:09 AM »
Again I'm not particularly great with FancyBox, I don't know the library well enough to be considered a valuable source of help. There's always StackOverflow. I generally get some useful responses on my own questions there, but the best place to look is the community surrounding the plugin.

Could always have a multiple choice test the potential testers have to answer and flag some answers as an automatic "no". Think of it as a filtering system. There's nothing wrong with a thread and a posting guideline, but if you're really thinking of locking the topic then that certainly shows it does bother you having to monitor and reply constantly. Would make life easier for you for a while. At least until an even better method comes up.
I'm interested though - if you want to test Wedge, and I mean really test it - give a copy to someone with a big board. (hilarity might also ensue)

vBulletin has my congratulations for being the first digital technology that smells.

Off-topic / Re: jQuery(document).ready function issue
« on May 14th, 2013, 07:14 AM »
Just out of interest, have you tried removing the $(document).ready? I ask this because if you've followed the convention of loading in your scripts at the bottom of the page (before the closing <body> tag), then there's no *absolute* need for $(document).ready. However if this is a misleading title and the problem lies in either JQuery or FancyBox - then that sure is a misleading title. ;)
Tried solving this puzzle myself but this is the first time I've been exposed to FancyBox (and I don't have access to all your code)... Did the obvious checking for any syntax errors, found none so you're good there... One thing to note though is that JQuery does have it's own quirks - some of it's methods do modify the state of the object so there could be some conflict.
Also, it might be worth having a look at the scope of "this" to see if it's actually pointing to what you want it to using Chrome Devtools or Firebug. If it isn't, you can pass the outer scope of "this" using either .call() or .apply() methods on a function. So, if for example I had an object:
Code: [Select]
And I called myObject.myMethod() - I'd get a representation of myObject. However, if I wanted "this" inside aMethod to be the scope of this OUTSIDE of the object, I'd do this:
Code: [Select]
Also, it must be a pain having to type jQuery all the time. If you're doing this because you're using another library that uses the "$" object/variable, then there's still a way to use the $ when working with jQuery by passing the jQuery object as a parameter to a self-executing anonymous function that takes a parameter of $:

myObject.myMethod.call(this); // pass the scope of this as it is outside the object - in this case the global object
myObject.myMethod() // "this" refers to the myObject

(function($) {
$(function() {}); // <-- and even use the shorthand version of $(document).ready()

I was reading about this the other day after seeing it trending on Github and thought about sending it to you to cheer you up - I see you found it before I could ^.^
