Ok. had enough of trying out lightboxes, overlays and dialog boxes plugins. The problem is that very few of them support nested (multiple) dialog open at the same time - a typical requirement in my opinion.
I'm looking for a recommendation for a simple plugin that:
supports callsbacks for the usual onShow/onLoad... events
supports nested instances i.e. the user open a dialog, clicks a button on it, another dialog opens up while keeping the first one open in the background. In other words, it should support the closure of each instance programatically
is NOT the jquery ui dialog plugin
This came about after the big disappointment with SimpleModal's inability to support multiple modal boxes open simultaneously!!!! #EricM, why would you do that to me? why???? ;)
I have narrowed it down to jqModal and the jquery tools overlay. The usage of the latter is weird. Maybe i'm tired but i just don't get it.
So before i dive into jqModal, does anyone have any recommendation based on personal experience that will achieve what I'm trying to do?
thanks

If there's any way to simulate a real mouse click (press + release) at the absolute position of current desktop with PyQt, without other extenal library like PyUserInput?
I search around and just found this and this. But If I don't misunderstand, they seem to send their click event to Qt application it self, instead of the desktop?
Use PyQt's QTest, together with unittest or such. See also for example http://www.voom.net/pyqt-qtest-example.
If this is not for unit testing, look at sendEvent and postEvent (See http://doc.qt.digia.com/qq/qq11-events.html#syntheticevents). There are some limitations to Qt's mechanism for generating "artificial" events but based on what you describe, it is likely to work. If you have tried those and it doesn't work, please post the code you tried.
I am working on a responsive site and need to output my Structure powered nav into a select menu for smaller screens. In looking at Structure's documentation this doesn't seem possible natively. Am I missing something?
After some digging it seems like the add-on Structure Entries is the ticket I need with one caveat. SE has quite a bit of overheard (in terms of queries) while using it to spit out custom nav. What's the best approach to minimize the impact performance for complicated menus?
I am doing this currently using Twitter Bootstrap's Button Dropdown javascript plugin. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#dropdowns
I also use MX Mobile Device Detect to serve devices the dropdown while the desktop users get the full menu.
I think the Dropdown Button script only allows for a single level list, however since its mobile do you need more than one?
I know it's obviously preferable to do it in the template itself, but a JS alternative is TinyNav.js.
It will convert your nav to a select dropdown.

I have a vb.net project running as a toolbar extension in ArcMap. Each one of my tools opens a modal dialog using the .ShowDialog() method. My client wants to be able to open a PDF document from the tools that will serve as the help documentation tool rather than a traditional method like HTMLHelp or Windows Help Viewer.
So, I've imported the Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll and set up a form with an AxAcroPDF (veiwer) object on it. Whenever the user clicks the help button on any of the tool dialogs, the help form opens using .Show() and goes to the associated page in the document using the .setCurrentPage method. Everything works great up to this point.
However, as you can imagine, because the tool dialog is modal, it blocks the user from being able to interact with the PDF form. So, what I need is a technique to prevent this block so that the user will be able to scroll pages, click links within the PDF, etc. while the tool dialog is open. I.e., I need a solution that will mimic using the traditional HTMLHelp veiwer.
I've tried opening the PDF form in a new thread, but that causes ArcMap to crash at Application.Run(New PDFForm). Maybe this is because I have very little experience with multithreading, or maybe because ArcMap does not support multithreading. Not sure.
Anyway, any suggestions to get me started would be greatly appreaciated.
Per user feedback, I am opening a new question for this topic.
So I am currently using Struts-Menu to handle my menu needs for my Struts 2 J2EE application. It is not necessarily a package I wish to work with I have found by playing around with it. So what are some alternatives to this package? I immediately flocked to Struts-Menu because I saw a fair amount of web search traffic pointing to it, including those who use Struts2. What I am worried about is difficulty in the future of making it work with other packages, given its 2007 last update and the extra tap dance I had do to make it work with my configuration. It seems too fragile at this point for my taste.
I have several different menus in my app, but the one I am specifically addressing at the present is like this ... The top level menu drops down upon mouse hover over it. The submenus expand horizontally upon mouse hover. Exactly one menu item can be selected as no radio buttons or check boxes are contained in the menu. This particular menu does not require db access to populate its children. It works sort of like Velocity CoolMenus4 from the Struts-Menu demos.
I've never used struts-menu, but it looks like overkill to me.
I would recommend that you locate a menu that you like and then write a tag file to handle outputting it in your view layer. To me, that's a lot easier than using a framework or library just to output a menu. Plus, its specific to the actual menu you want to use. Your tag can handle doing security checks to ensure that the user only sees what they have permission to access, etc.
Is there a way to override the "undo" and "select all" in right click context menu of the browser over textarea?
Thank you.
You cannot edit the browser's built-in context menu, but you can disable it and replace it with your own using the oncontextmenu event on the window object. I would caution that this is often a bad idea. Users expect to find the built-in context menu and are often frustrated when it isn't there.
I know you can prevent the whole context menu from opening by registering to the click() event, doing some cross-browser mumbo-jumbo to get wich button was clicked, and then return false if the right one was clicked.
However, I don't think it's possible to modify the context menu itself, at least not using javascript.
I should add that you may want to rethink why you're doing this. This will never be a protection against anything (some try to prevent copying images from their website), as it may simply be disabled by turning javascript off.
UPDATE: Ok, so you don't want to prevent users to do things, bug have them doing things your way. Then, I guess the best thing to do is :
Provide users with a toolbar that allow them to do these things (and thus making them use your actions instead of the default one
Map the usual keyboard shortcuts to your actions (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Z, etc...)
Replace the right click menu with your own.
You mentionned in another comment that you cannot reproduce copy/paste, which is correct, but you can implement you own clipboard (that will only work for your webapp) if you really have to.
