create a window chrome with an exception in back - background

I'd just like to create a new window from the background page and put it in back. I tried focused:false but it doesn't seem to make the trick. I tried to save the previous windowId and tabId and update it after having creating the new window but it doesn't solve the problem neither.
Do you know how we can do that?
Here is my code:
function saveTabId() {
// Get the current tab
chrome.tabs.getSelected(null,function(tab){
if (tab != 'undefined') {
if (tab.windowId != windowId) {
currentTabId = tab.id;
currentWindowId = tab.windowId;
}
chrome.windows.create({url:"http://www.google.com", width:100, height:100, top:0, left:0, focused:false}, function() {
chrome.tabs.get(currentTabId, function(tab) {
chrome.windows.update(tab.windowId, {}, function(w) {
chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {selected:true});
});
});
});
}
});
}
I launched this code at the beginning of background.html and when I refresh the extension, the window is on top of the extensions tab.
P.S: something more strange the window is on top of the extensions tab and when I change tab in this window, the new window stays on top of the other one even if I click and type text in the other one...

I got it kind of working, but popup window is still showing up for a moment before going underneath the current window:
chrome.windows.create({url:"http://www.google.com", width:100, height:100, top:0, left:0, focused:false}, function() {
chrome.windows.update(currentWindowId, {focused:true});
});

Thanks, here is the code I'm using now. The problem in the code of the question was the focus to the other window before updating it. It is strange, when you focus on a window, it doesn't show it on top of the others.
function focusTab(tabId) {
chrome.tabs.get(tabId, function(tab) {
chrome.windows.update(tab.windowId, {}, function(w) {
chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {selected:true});
});
});
}

callbacks not firing when opening a magnific popup from another one

I currently have a magnific popup and within that popup i have a link that opens another magnific popup. Something along the lines of:
$('.logbook-entry-details').magnificPopup({
type: 'ajax',
closeBtnInside:true,
closeOnBgClick:false,
closeOnContentClick:false,
callbacks: {
beforeOpen: function () {
$.magnificPopup.close();
},
open: function() {
console.log('Popup open has been initiated');
},
beforeClose: function() {
console.log('Popup before close has been initiated');
},
close: function() {
console.log('Popup close has been initiated');
},
afterClose :function() {
console.log('Popup after close has been initiated');
}
}
});
After reading i found that callbacks on the second popup will not be registered until i close the original popup as opening the new one just replaces the content and actually doesn't recreate a new instance.
I am trying to figure out how i could have my link within my popup close the current popup before calling the code to open the new one so it can register my callbacks.
By the way, the reason I am trying to do this is i want to reopen the original popup after closing my new popup. If you happen to have a better solution please let me know.
So just in case someone needs this answered, i had to add the following code to my new popup.
// a button that closes the popup
$('#cancel-logbook-entry-btn').click(function(){
$.magnificPopup.proto.close.call(this);
});
$.magnificPopup.instance.close = function () {
//code to show the original popup
};
And then in the original popup i had to add otherwise it will never close the popup
$.magnificPopup.instance.close = function () {
// "proto" variable holds MagnificPopup class prototype
// The above change that we did to instance is not applied to the prototype,
// which allows us to call parent method:
$.magnificPopup.proto.close.call(this);
};

In Extjs4 how to set scrollbar position to bottom of form panel

i am working in extjs4. i have form panel with autoscroll true. I have 20-25 fields with fileUpload field at bottom. When i am uploading file, form's scroll is going to top by default. i want to keep scroll of form as it is on where it was while uploading file. So how to set this scrollBar at bottom of or at upload field section in extjs4
You can try by adding the following method to your form declaration:
scrollToField: function(fieldId) {
var field = Ext.get(fieldId);
field.el.scrollIntoView(this.body.el);
}
Here you have a working sample
IMHO,it will be better, however, to group fields using tabs or something similar to avoid having a long a and hard to read / fill form
I have solve this problem into Ext js 4.2 for Ext.form.panel
See the following code. It will helpful to you.
onRender function call on render event
onRender: function () {
this.callParent(arguments);
if (!this.restoreScrollAfterLayout) {
this.mon(Ext.get(this.getEl().dom.lastElementChild), 'scroll', this.onScroll, this);
this.restoreScrollAfterLayout = true;
}
},
onScroll: function (e ,t, eOpts) {
this.scroll = Ext.get(this.getEl().dom.lastElementChild).getScroll();
},
afterLayout: function () {
this.callParent(arguments);
if (this.restoreScrollAfterLayout && this.scroll) {
var el = Ext.get(this.getEl().dom.lastElementChild),
scroll = this.scroll;
el.scrollTo('left', scroll.left);
el.scrollTo('top', scroll.top);
}
}

Disable the escape key in dojo

I have a requirement to disable the escape key when the dialog is open.currently when i click the escape button the dialog closes and the transaction is submitting.I tried the following code snippet but its not working chrome.
dojo.connect(dialog, "onKeyPress", function(e){
var key = e.keyCode || e.charCode;
var k = dojo.keys;
if (key == k.ESCAPE) {
event.preventDefault();
d.stopEvent(event);
}
});
Could you please help on this..i have searched a lot and havent found a suitable solution for my problem.
Thanks inadvance..
Dojo uses the _onKey event for accessibility. You can override it by using:
dialog._onKey = function() { }
I wrote an example JSFiddle, hitting the Escape key should not work anymore.
In the event you want to override the escape key in all dialogs (rather than a particular instance), you can use dojo/aspect:
require(['dojo/aspect', 'dijit/Dialog'], function (Aspect, Dialog) {
Aspect.around(Dialog.prototype, '_onKey', function (original) {
return function () { }; // no-op
});
});
You can create an extension for the Dialog widget like this in a new file:
define(["dojo/_base/declare", "dijit/Dialog"],
function(declare, Dialog){
return declare(Dialog, {
//Prevents the 'ESC' Button of Closing the dialog
_onKey: function() { }
});
});
save the file into dojo Directory (say: dojo/my/my_dialog.js),
and instead of calling: 'dijit/Dialog', just call: 'my/my_dialog'.
this will save you the hard work of editing each Dialog call,
And the same thing to the "dojox/widget/DialogSimple" Widget.

Dojo lightbox problem

I made a custom basic lightbox with Dojo to be used with forms and data. Not really dealing with images or such.
The problem that I seem to be facing is this. When Dojo makes a call via AJAX to ajaxtb.php with specific code for example; ?f=login or ?f=register the page is loaded. When you I close the lightbox and try to view something different say ?f=stuff the lightbox will show what ever was before it be it ?f=login or what ever, it will show it until ?f=stuff is fully loaded.
Here is the code for the lightbox, also can some one tell me how to optimize it since its pretty redundant at the moment and very basic.
dojo.ready(function(){
#loads logout confirmation
dojo.query("#jsLogoutPromp").connect("onclick", function(){
dojo.byId("qpbox-title-text").innerHTML = "Logout Confirmation";
dojo.query("#qpbox-content").style("display", "block");
dojo.query("#qpbox-overlay").style("display", "block");
dojo.xhrGet({
url: "ajaxtb.php?f=logout",
load: function(newContent) {
dojo.byId("utm").innerHTML = newContent;
},
// The error handler
error: function() {
// Do nothing -- keep old content there
}
});
});
#loads options to upload profile photo
dojo.query("#jsUserPhotoPromp").connect("onclick", function(){
dojo.byId("qpbox-title-text").innerHTML = "Upload Photo";
dojo.query("#qpbox-content").style("display", "block");
dojo.query("#qpbox-overlay").style("display", "block");
dojo.xhrGet({
url: "ajaxtb.php?f=display_pic",
load: function(newContent) {
dojo.byId("utm").innerHTML = newContent;
},
// The error handler
error: function() {
// Do nothing -- keep old content there
}
});
});
#closes everything when clicked well technically hides everything
dojo.query("#qpbox-close").connect("onclick", function(){
dojo.query("#qpbox-content").style("display", "none");
dojo.query("#qpbox-overlay").style("display", "none");
});
#shows up for logout only, same as above code, but does not work since the original id is included in ajax.php?f=logout
dojo.query("#qpbox-stay").connect("onclick", function(){
dojo.query("#qpbox-content").style("display", "none");
dojo.query("#qpbox-overlay").style("display", "none");
});
});
The functions responsible for closing everything is qpbox-close and qpbox-stay. Technically both only hide the lightbox not close. The other problem is with qpbox-stay. qpbox-stay id is located in ajax.php?f=logout and when clicked it does not close the lightbox so not sure whats the problem with it.
here is the code for ajax.php
if($_GET['f'] == 'logout') {
echo '
<p>Are you sure you want to exit right now?</p>
<br>
<button type="submit">Logout</button> No, I wana Stay
';
}
Thanks
You can use dojo.empty(dojo.byId('utm')) before showing the lightbox to delete all the contents.
Also, you can refactor your code quite a bit. Both click handlers do basically the same thing. So why not refactor them in a function?
dojo.ready(function() {
function showLightBox(title, url) {
var utm = dojo.byId('utm');
dojo.empty(utm);
dojo.byId("qpbox-title-text").innerHTML = title;
dojo.style(dojo.byId("qpbox-content"), "display", "block");
dojo.style(dojo.byId("qpbox-overlay"), "display", "block");
dojo.xhrGet({
url: url,
load: function(newContent) {
utm.innerHTML = newContent;
},
// The error handler
error: function() {
// Do nothing -- keep old content there
}
});
}
function hideLightBox() {
dojo.style(dojo.byId("qpbox-content"), "display", "none");
dojo.style(dojo.byId("qpbox-overlay"), "display", "none");
}
dojo.connect(dojo.byId('jsLogoutPromp'), 'onclick', function() {
showLightBox("Logout Confirmation", "ajaxtb.php?f=logout");
});
// ...
dojo.connect(dojo.byId('qpbox-close'), 'onclick', hideLightBox);
});
You can try and connect to #qpbox-stay after you've loaded the content, or if using Dojo 1.6, you can use NodeList.delegate like:
dojo.require('dojox.NodeList.delegate');
dojo.query('#utm').delegate('#qpbox-stay', 'onclick', hideLightBox);
That will connect to #utm which is already loaded, but work for #qpbox-stay only. It works with event bubbling, similar to jquery.live(). See http://davidwalsh.name/delegate-event

Interaction between XUL windows

I'm a beginner with XUL. I have the following problem.
In the browser overlay I declare a menu item which opens a new window - so far so good.
menu_entry.addEventListener('command', function() {
window.open('chrome://myextension/content/mywindow.xul',
'myextension-mywindow',
'chrome,centerscreen');
}, false);
I'd like this to be more flexible. If the window is already open, it should be focused instead. This is what I have tried
menu_entry.addEventListener('command', function() {
let mywindow = document.getElementById('myextension-mywindow');
if (mywindow) {
mywindow.focus();
}
else {
window.open('chrome://myextension/content/mywindow.xul',
'myextension-mywindow',
'chrome,centerscreen');
}
}, false);
The problem is that document.getElementById('myextension-mywindow') always returns null, so I never enter the if. I guess this is because the window is another chrome in itself.
But if this is so, how can I make the windows interact with each other? Is it possible to focus a window from a widget in another window? I cannot do this from a module, since document and window are not available there.
I finally found I have to use the nsiWindowMeditator. All I had to do is
menu_entry.addEventListener('command', function() {
let windowManager = Cc['#mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].
getService(Ci.nsIWindowMediator);
let mywindow = windowManager.getMostRecentWindow('mywindowtype');
if (mywindow) {
mywindow.focus();
}
else {
window.open('chrome://myextension/content/mywindow.xul',
'myextension-mywindow',
'chrome,centerscreen');
}
}, false);
and then in the xul
<window id="myextension-mywindow" windowtype="mywindowtype>
...
</window>
