Hey Arvin, I would try something like this:

var myprompt = $.prompt(/* ... */); setTimeout(5000, function(){ if(myprompt){ // if it still exists $.prompt.close(); });

Hope that helps

Hey guys, it seems that there is no way to run a code after the timeout reach 0 in impromptu? I want to refresh a page even if a user did not click the Ok button but automatically close after 5 seconds, how can I do that?

I think the issue with these was broken html. IE crashes with broken html where firefox recovers and sometimes figures out what you’re trying to do.

I am also getting the same problem as mariecon and herr rilke.
When i tried to figure out the problem, I came across ie6( which should be set to true when using IE6 or lower) variable in js source file, that gets set to true even though I am using IE7

I haven’t tried dynamically resizing the prompt as that has never crossed my mind, but that would be pretty cool if it did that. Could you not just use the jQuery animate() function for this?

Hey Trent, I gave Impromptu a spin today, great work! I started to head down the path of using it as a generic ajax small form control but I’ve run into a few issues and have come up with workarounds. One is the bubbling of key listeners. I tackled that in the loaded callback with a preventDefault. The other issue I encountered is dynamically resizing and recentering the form. I do not have a great solution yet. Again, in the Loaded function, I’m changing the width and then recentering. Ideally, I’d like to pass in an override width such as 500 and prompt auto handle it. Have you done anything like this?
Thanks,
Mike

Is your code publicly available where I could take a look? If you prefer not to post the link on here the contact link at the top will send only me an email.

hello,

thanks for sharing this great plugin!

but i’m facing the same problem as mariecon de los reyes (no.17)

while FF3 and Chrome displaying everything as expected IE6 and IE 7 throw an error @ line 89:

jqi.css({ position: “absolute”, top: “100px”, left: “50%”, marginLeft: ((((jqi.css(“paddingLeft”).split(“px”)[0]*1) + jqi.width())/2)*-1) });

saying “jqi.css(…) is null or is not an object”.

then it shows the message-box at the bottom left corner of the page that is actually frozen.

and, trent, to answer the no. 18 question: it doesn’t make any difference if i’m using your css or mine :(

do you have an idea what’s going wrong?
i could send you access of my online application so far if that could help.

thank you!

Thanks for letting me know, that one slipped by me. I will try to release a fix tonight.

I have found a small issue with the latest version of impromptu(1.5) when used in IE6 with other frameworks. At line nos 39 and 107, you have used the “$” shortcut. It has to be replaced with the longhand “jQuery” to ensure proper compatibility.
