]]> Comment on How to quickly create iPhone style on off buttons by Walmik http://www.walmik.com/2011/06/how-to-quickly-create-iphone-style-on-off-buttons/#comment-402 Walmik Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:32:09 +0000 http://www.walmik.com/?p=97#comment-402 Hi Colin, There is a small technique that I use to add some 'extra' value to HTML elements instead of explicitly setting a Javacscript or a PHP variable/function to check something simple. What I do is, I add a custom attribute to an HTML element to track it later via jQuery. I have not entirely understood what you want to achieve but an example would be like this: If I had a div that I need to hide or show or simply set it on or off or whatever, I d just add an extra attribute to it like this: <code><div id="device" active="false">Content for this div</div></code> Here I ve set 'active' as a custom attribute to this div with id 'device'. I can now use jQuery to get or set this attribute and based on that I can take further action. Like, if I test for <code>$("#device").attr("active")</code> If I wanted to run a if statement to do something based on if the device is active or not, then <code>if ( $("#device").attr("active") == "false" )</code> <code>{</code> <code>//do something and then set the attr to true</code> <code>$("#device").attr("active") = "true";</code> <code>}</code> You can check the status of this device on <code>$(document).ready();</code> In case you are not accustomed to it then you d <code>$(document).ready(</code> <code>if ( $("#device").attr("active") == "false" )</code> <code>{</code> <code>//do something and then set the attr to true</code> <code>$("#device").attr("active") = "true";</code> <code>}</code> <code>);</code> I have even written a post on this technique on this blog on this <a href="http://www.walmik.com/2011/06/making-html-tags-more-useful/" rel="nofollow">page</a>. I hope this helps. Hi Colin,

Here I ve set ‘active’ as a custom attribute to this div with id ‘device’. I can now use jQuery to get or set this attribute and based on that I can take further action. Like, if I test for

$("#device").attr("active")

If I wanted to run a if statement to do something based on if the device is active or not, then

if ( $("#device").attr("active") == "false" )
{
//do something and then set the attr to true
$("#device").attr("active") = "true";
}

You can check the status of this device on
$(document).ready();

In case you are not accustomed to it then you d

$(document).ready(
if ( $("#device").attr("active") == "false" )
{
//do something and then set the attr to true
$("#device").attr("active") = "true";
}
);

I have even written a post on this technique on this blog on this page. I hope this helps.

I wonder if you or someone can help me with something. Bit of a noob with js/jquery. I am using a bit of ajax to get a value from an external php script and this value (on or off) will set the position of the switch (as well as the standard slider functions). Basically I am using the slider to switch something on and off and need to know the current status of the device each time I load the page. I have tried altering the html: <b>""</b> to <b>""</b> Using php but this makes no difference. I am not familiar with any of the document object references used in the js. I'm guessing I will need a new js function that will set the position of the slider depending on what value I pass to the function!!? Many thanks Colin Hello,
