Bootstrap 4 modals get all input fields erased once closed - .net-core

Whenever I open a bootstrap modal, close it and open it once again, all of the input fields get erased (textbox, hidden fields, everything)!
Obviously this causes a lot of troubles (first of all the antiforgery token, stored in an hiddenfield, that if missing doesn't allow me to call any page handler or API method where it is required).
I couldn't find anything about this weird behaviour (except for a "hidden.bs.modal" method that could be overridden, but of which I couldn't find any implementation in our code).
This is what I can see from the developer console:
First time I open the modal:
Second time I open the modal:
As you can see in the last photo, the antiforgery token value is gone, and even more funny, the value of the input field "destinatariMain" is filled but the form doesn't show anything.
Any tip?

Ok, it was not Bootstrap nor JQuery fault..
I found this piece of code:
$('[data-dismiss=modal]').on('click', function (e) {
var $t = $(this),
target = $t[0].href || $t.data("target") || $t.parents('.modal') || [];
$(target)
.find("input,textarea,select")
.val('')
.end()
.find("input[type=checkbox], input[type=radio]")
.prop("checked", "")
.end();
})
The key part is related to the Jquery selector "[data-dismiss=modal]" that seems related to bootstrap.
Here you can find something about it.

algolia wordpress autocomplete

I'm trying to tweak the WordPress plugin https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-wordpress to suit our needs. What we want to be able to do is have a search result that will load the data up in the same page.
I have my WordPress posts and its data being indexed successfully. I have added a search box to the page, and autocomplete is being fired.
Out of the box, the WordPress plugin template wraps the result in an anchor tag and assigns it the URL of the found result. When clicked, this navigates you to that post. However, what I want to do is intercept that click and load the result in the same page without navigating away.
I have removed the href from the anchor. I have also edited the supplied autocomplete.php template where the call to autocomplete:selected occurs. In there I have removed the call to navigate away by removing window.location.href.
Now I have two main issues.
1 - When the user clicks the search result I would like the input to be populate with the title of the item they clicked on. I added this in the autocomplete:selected callback by adding $searchInput[0].value = suggestion.post_title. Which seems to change the value of the input correctly, but as soon as I click away from the input, it is re-set back to the original typed value. So if I type 'may' and click the result 'mayonnaise', the result data can be accessed but the input returns back to 'may'. My function looks this:
/* Instantiate autocomplete.js */
var autocomplete = algoliaAutocomplete($searchInput[0], config, sources)
.on('autocomplete:selected', function (e, suggestion) {
console.log(suggestion);
autocomplete.autocomplete.close();
});
2 - It seems that the autocomplete dropdown does not hide when the user clicks away. To resolve this i've had to use what I think is a bit of a nasty hack with jQuery. I was wondering if this is really required? My code just below the autocomplete:selected call looks like this:
jQuery('body').on("click", function(event){
if (!jQuery(event.target).closest($searchInput[0]).length) {
autocomplete.autocomplete.close();
}
});
Found some answers to my questions.
1 - In order to populate the input with the title of the selected search result I added a call to the setVal method of the autocomplete object. I'[m still not sure why this is required.
/* Instantiate autocomplete.js */
var autocomplete = algoliaAutocomplete($searchInput[0], config, sources)
.on('autocomplete:selected', function (e, suggestion) {
autocomplete.autocomplete.setVal(suggestion.post_title);
});
2 - It looks like the config of the autocomplete object uses the value of WP_DEBUG in order to set the debug value. The options available for the autocomplete component can be found here https://github.com/algolia/autocomplete.js#options. This lead me to find that when debug is set to true, the autocomplete box does not hide on selection. This is to allow for easier debugging and styling of the component.

FlowRouter without page reload

I am following this example https://kadira.io/academy/meteor-routing-guide/content/rendering-blaze-templates
When I click on my links the whole page is being reloaded. Is there any way to load only the template part that is needed and not the whole page?
Edit: Also I noted another problem. Everything that is outside {{> Template.dynamic}} is being rendered twice.
Here is my project sample. https://github.com/hayk94/UbMvp/tree/routing
EDIT: Putting the contents in the mainLayout template and starting the rendering from there fixed the double render problems. However the reload problems happen because of this code
Template.mainLayout.events({
"click *": function(event, template){
event.stopPropagation();
console.log('body all click log');
// console.log(c0nnIp);
var clickedOne = $(event.target).html().toString();
console.log('This click ' + clickedOne);
//getting the connID
var clientIp = null // headers.getClientIP(); // no need for this anymore
var clientConnId = Meteor.connection._lastSessionId;
console.log(clientIp);
console.log(clientConnId);
Meteor.call("updateDB", {clientIp,clientConnId,clickedOne}, function(error, result){
if(error){
console.log("error", error);
}
if(result){
}
});
}, // click *
});//events
Without this event attached to the template the routing works without any reloads, however as soon as I attach it the problem persists.
Do you have any ideas why this code causes such problems?
EDIT 2 following question Rev 3:
event.stopPropagation() on "click *" event probably prevents the router from intercepting the click on link.
Then your browser performs the default behaviour, i.e. navigates to that link, reloading the whole page.
EDIT following question Rev 2:
Not sure you can directly use your body as BlazeLayout target layout.
Notice in the first code sample of BlazeLayout Usage that they use an actual template as layout (<template name="layout1">), targeted in JS as BlazeLayout.render('layout1', {});.
In the tutorial you mention, they similarly use <template name="mainLayout">.
That layout template is then appended to your page's body and filled accordingly. You can also change the placeholder for that layout with BlazeLayout.setRoot() by the way.
But strange things may happen if you try to directly target the body? In particular, that may explain why you have content rendered twice.
Original answer:
If your page is actually reloaded, then your router might not be configured properly, as your link is not being intercepted and your browser makes you actually navigate to that page. In that case, we would need to see your actual code if you need further help.
In case your page does not actually reload, but only your whole content is changed (whereas you wanted to change just a part of it), then you should make sure you properly point your dynamic templates.
You can refer to kadira:blaze-layout package doc to see how you set up different dynamic template targets in your layout, and how you can change each of them separately (or several of them simultaneously).
You should have something similar in case you use kadira:react-layout package.

Items removed from Dojo grid on update when item is updated elsewhere

I have an enhancedGrid backed by a JsonRestStore which displays summary information and can be clicked to show and edit the full information in another tab. However when I then refresh the grid with a setQuery command any items that have been edited are removed from the grid (though they still seem to be in the _index property of the store).
This happens if I just update the database manually or use a dojo editor. The json coming back from the server is still valid and if I do a page refresh in the browser the item re-appears. Any ideas what might be going on?
This is the code to create the grid.
var gridStore = new dojox.data.JsonRestStore({
target : '/api/prospects/',
idAttribute : 'prospect_id',
});
var grid = new dojox.grid.EnhancedGrid({
store: gridStore,
structure: gridStructure,
columnReordering: true,
selectionMode: 'single',
plugins: {filter: true},
});
gridPane.setContent(grid);
This is the code to set the query
dojo.connect(tree,'onClick', function(node){
if (node.type == 'project') {
grid.setQuery({project:node.project_id});
}
});
Typical after searching high and low for the reason that this is happening I find the answer after posting it here. It seems that jsonreststore has a bug in its rendering engine that could be solved by removing a few lines from the ClientFilter file (presumably, although I haven't checked JsonRestStore has the exact same bug as I tested with and without cacheing and had the same result).

JQuery Simplemodal and Tabs Help Needed

I've got an asp.net page containing a Textbox with an Autocomplete extender on it.
It's setup so the user can type a short reference code into the textbox and then choose from the list of matching codes returned by the autocomplete.
On the "select", I then call the server using JQuery. I'm currently using $.get here....
The callback function from $.get checks for "success" and then displays a simple-modal dialog containing info about the item they've just selected.
if (sStatus == "success") {
$.modal(sText, {
overlayClose: true,
appendTo:'form',
onShow: function(dialog) {
$("#ccTargets_tabContainer").tabs();
},
onClose: function(dialog) {
$("#<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").val("");
$.modal.close();
}
});
$.ready();
}
One of the bits of info being loaded here is a JQuery TABS setup, so the onShow function of the simplemodal is used to initiate the tabs which are within the simplemodal.
Now to the crux of my problem.
If I do multiple consecutive "autocompletes" on the same page it all works fine Unless I have selected a different tab on the tabs in the simplemodal ....If I select a different tab, close the simplemodal and then do another autocomplete I get a JQuery error which seems to relate to a selector doing something with the "old" selected tab that was on the "closed" modal.
I'm clearly missing some sort of cleardown / initialisation somewhere, but can't find what it is. Help?
I've tried "tabs.destroy" before the modal call in the code above and I've tried a $.ready() call as indicated too....
UPDATE: Is it something to do with JQuery Tabs appending my addressbar URL with the selected tab's ID?
I've found the problem.
It's with the "history" script that the tabs plugin normally uses. Obviously as I am continually creating and destroying popups there is no history to speak of - it's all done outside of the normal app navigation.
I've removed the jquery.history_remote script and now it works just great!

AutoComplete Stopping When User Presses "Enter"

I am using the AutoCompleteExtender on a commercial site. My problem is the users are quickly typing in part of a word and immediately pressing "Enter" which causes the AutoComplete control to NOT come back with a list of suggestions. For example, if my database has the phrase "Texas, United States" in it but the users just type "Texas" quickly followed by Enter then the dropdown list does not appear.
What I would like is for the AutoComplete control to ignore the fact the user has pressed Enter and go and fetch the suggested data anyway. (The ultimate would be if it ignored Enter when there was currently no list, but selected an item when there was a list).
I can simulate this exact problem by going to the samples section of this Microsoft ASP.NET site and typing in some characters very quickly followed by 'Enter'.
Please could someone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks, Martin
I've hacked around this problem before with an extra keydown handler on the textbox that is the target of the auto-complete. Replace this._autoCompleteBehavior in the snippet below with a reference to your instance of AutoCompleteBehavior (obtainable via $find() and the BehaviorID). The idea here is to force the auto-complete behavior to think it needs to perform a lookup by calling _onTimerTick(), which executes after the typing delay has expired. By default the typing delay gets cancelled by hitting the enter key, so this just forces the lookup anyway on enter or tab.
Disclaimer: my hack references "private" members of the AjaxControlToolkit code (stuff that starts with underscore is "private"), so it is probably not guaranteed to be future-proof.
_searchTextbox_keydown: function(e)
{
var key = e.keyCode || e.rawEvent.keyCode;
// If the user hits enter or tab before the auto complete popup appears, force the autocomplete lookup at that moment.
if ((key === Sys.UI.Key.enter || key === Sys.UI.Key.tab) && this._autoCompleteBehavior._currentPrefix != this._autoCompleteBehavior._currentCompletionWord())
{
this._autoCompleteBehavior._onTimerTick(this._autoCompleteBehavior._timer, Sys.EventArgs.Empty);
e.preventDefault();
}
}
Hey try jQuery or YUI autocomplete extender. It will be lightning fast.
