Can Anyone explain what each line of this code means? I'm trying to move the <script>
call statement to a specific position in my HTML but the code generated by my script always moves this to the bottom of one particular table and I think it has something to do with this code. I would prefer to position it myself by rewriting this function to insert the code at the point where the <script>
appears in the HTML.
function initialize(instance) {
_this = instance;
// build html
var realCaller = caller != null? caller:$("body");
var cornerClass = options.showRoundCorner? "ui-corner-all ":"";
realCaller.append("<div id='"+windowId+"' class='window_panel "+cornerClass+options.containerClass+"'></div>");
container = realCaller.children("div#"+windowId);
Thanks in advance!
Your <script>
tag should be left wherever it was originally. Moving it around will not help.
I am assuming the page is using jQuery, but I can't tell for sure from what you've posted.
First, you need to put an id
attribute on the page element where you want the HTML to be inserted (i.e. <div id="your_id_here"></div>
. Then, change this line:
var realCaller = caller != null? caller:$("body");
To this:
var realCaller = $('#your_id_here');
Replacing "your_id_here" with the ID that you set on the page element.
Note: Since you posted so little of your code, it's hard to know whether this "fix" will break other parts of the code....
function initialize(instance) {
_this = instance; // _this is now equal to the instance variable.
// build html
var realCaller = caller != null? caller:$("body"); // if caller isn't null make realCaller equal to caller otherwise the body element
var cornerClass = options.showRoundCorner? "ui-corner-all ":""; // same deal here
realCaller.append("<div id='"+windowId+"' class='window_panel "+cornerClass+options.containerClass+"'></div>"); // append this element to corner class variable
container = realCaller.children("div#"+windowId); // container equals all children within the realcaller object.
