jQuery Mobile Radio fieldset has different styling - css

These two jQuery Mobile checkboxes have different styling, however I believe I am creating them in very similar ways. The top boxes I am appending dynamically, where as the bottom box is hardcoded. Does anybody know why this is this discrepancy in styles?
Div to hold fieldset
<fieldset id="surveyViewer" data-role="controlgroup">
</fieldset>
Appending radio buttons
$('#surveyViewer').append('<legend>Survey Preview:</legend><input type="radio" name="options" id="1" value="1" /><label for="1">1</label><input type="radio" name="options" id="2" value="2" /><label for="2">2</label>');
This line to refresh styling:
$('#surveyViewer').trigger("create");
$("input[type='radio']").checkboxradio("refresh");

All of your CSS is not being applied when you are dynamically loading the top two.
Add .trigger("create") on the element that gets the content added to.
See here: jQuery Mobile does not apply styles after dynamically adding content
UPDATE
However, if you generate new markup client-side or load in content via
Ajax and inject it into a page, you can trigger the create event to
handle the auto-initialization for all the plugins contained within
the new markup. This can be triggered on any element (even the page
div itself), saving you the task of manually initializing each plugin
(listview button, select, etc.).
For example, if a block of HTML markup (say a login form) was loaded
in through Ajax, trigger the create event to automatically transform
all the widgets it contains (inputs and buttons in this case) into the
enhanced versions. The code for this scenario would be:
$( ...new markup that contains widgets... ).appendTo( ".ui-page" ).trigger( "create" );
UPDATE #2
// HTML
<a id="myButton" href="" data-role="button" data-theme="e">Add Radio</a>
<div id="radiodiv1">
<fieldset id="surveyViewer" data-role="controlgroup"></fieldset>
</div>
// JS
$( "#myButton" ).bind( "click", function(event, ui) {
$("#surveyViewer").append('<legend>Survey Preview:</legend><input type="radio" name="options" id="1" value="1" /><label for="1">1</label><input type="radio" name="options" id="2" value="2" /><label for="2">2</label>');
$("#radiodiv1").trigger("create");
});
I created a JSfiddle to illustrate a solution. I did all this on my iPad (you're welcome) so if this works for you, PLEASE at least mark it as the correct answer lol. Here's the link (based on adding the radio buttons via a button click)

ReactJS. The component's state won't change if click is performed on nested html element

So, I have the IssuesList component, which is the list of issues that I get using ajax and github api, and DevStatus component, which sort of wraps the list up and contains all the logic, triggers state changes by two radiobuttons and so on.
My problem: When I click on one of the radiobuttons, the DevStatus component won't change state if the click was on the text inside the radiobutton. And when I click on the corners of the radiobuttons, the blue areas without text, the state changes perfectly.
Here's the structure of the radiobuttons:
<div className="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label className="btn btn-primary active"
onClick={this.onChangeRadioButton.bind(this)}
id={this.CLOSED_ISSUE_ID}>
<input type="radio" name="options"
autoComplete="off"
id={this.CLOSED_ISSUE_INPT_ID}
onChange={this.onInputChange.bind(this)} /> Closed Issues
</label>
<label className="btn btn-primary"
onClick={this.onChangeRadioButton.bind(this)}
id={this.OPEN_ISSUE_ID}>
<input type="radio" name="options"
autoComplete="off"
id={this.OPENED_ISSUE_INPT_ID}
onChange={this.onInputChange.bind(this)} /> Open Issues
</label>
</div>
Here's the codepen with the code and here's the full page view so you could better see and understand what I'm talking about.
Please, open the full page view and try to click on parts of the button that contain text and on ones that don't and you'll notice that as long as you click on parts without text - the state changes and if you click on text itself - the state doesn't change at all.
Could you please help me with that problem?
PS: removing onChange from the input element is not the solution.
Update 1
If you go to DevTools and inspect the radiobutton element, you'll see that inside the label tag there're input and weird span elements. The span element is not in the code I wrote, did React automatically add that? For some reason, the onClick event listener is not applied to those input and span elements.
Update 2
I've tried to add click event listener to the radiobutton in the console of dev tools and tried to figure out the target of the clicked element. When I click on the text - it is the span element and when I click on place without text - it is the label element and that's why the click event is not working.
Can my problem be solved using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, so that it won't create the unnecessary span?
Could you tell me please how to solve that?
React is creating a span because your text is not in any div. Also it would create a span if there was any white space (but in your case this is because there is no div around your text).
But the real problem here is the way you check your event. You need to check e.currentTarget instead of e.target
Then no need to use the ugly dangerouslysetinnerhtml!
React appeared to sometimes be adding span tags around text, no matter if there are the free white-spaces or not. The spans didn't allow the onClick event to fire when they were clicked on.
So, to force React not to render the spans, the dangerouslySetInnerHTML may be used:
noSpanRender(text) {
return { __html: `<input type='radio' name='options' autoComplete='off'/>${text}` };
}
render() {
return (
<div className="dev-status-page col-centered">
<div className="graphs">
<h1 className="text-center page-header">
Our Recent Closed and Opened Issues from GitHub
</h1>
</div>
<div className="issues col-centered">
<div className="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label className="btn btn-primary active"
onClick={this.onChangeRadioButton.bind(this)}
id={this.CLOSED_ISSUE_ID}
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={this.noSpanRender('Closed Issues')} />
<label className="btn btn-primary"
onClick={this.onChangeRadioButton.bind(this)}
id={this.OPEN_ISSUE_ID}
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={this.noSpanRender('Open Issues')} />
</div>
<IssuesList issues={this.state.issues} />
</div>
</div>
)
}
It was vital to avoid those span elements inside the input tag, so using dangerouslySetInnerHTML finally helped.

Is it possible to change jquery mobile form elements , increase sizes by JS in %

I want to resize jquery mobile form elements that I am using Phonegap in mobile App. Now I want to resize and give more height to form elements based on some number or percentage which will depend upon screen size. I know jquery Mobile handle width by itself but I want to give height via JS so that all form elements' height increase by that specific ratio/percentage.
I know that JQuery Mobile CSS can be changed but I want to change height using JS on runtime not setting CSS once. So what is best way to do this?
I actually want to get screen size and give size to all elements according to some percentage. While if I see at jQuery Mobile CSS then there are a lot of thing that I need to set, and still not sure if it will be set. So is there some way to do that without modifying or rewrite whole CSS? Or I just need to write custom CSS and form elements ?
Any suggestion and effort will be appreciated.
Here is a fiddle demonstrating this with input elements: http://jsfiddle.net/ezanker/akgEa/
In this example I have 3 inputs of type text and a button which doubles their height each time you click it. The button iterates through each input, gets its current height and then sets the height to 2 times current.
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="textinput-fc1">Text Input:</label>
<input type="text" name="textinput-fc1" id="textinput-fc1" placeholder="Text input" value="" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="textinput-fc2">Text Input:</label>
<input type="text" name="textinput-fc2" id="textinput-fc2" placeholder="Text input" value="" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="textinput-fc3">Text Input:</label>
<input type="text" name="textinput-fc3" id="textinput-fc3" placeholder="Text input" value="" />
</div>
<input id="btnSet" type="button" value="Set Heights" data-theme="a" />
$('#btnSet').on("click", function(e){
$("[type='text']").each(function( index ) {
var curH = $(this).height();
$(this).height(curH * 2);
});
});
NOTE: depending what type of form elements you are using, setting height will not work for all of them. I suggest you look in the inspector at the generated code for your form and see what is the best way o set the height for each element type.

Jquery Mobile & Jquery UI CSS issue

Ok, im NOT a desginer and my CSS skills suck.
So I have a styling issue with buttons\submit
On most of my pages im using jquery mobile and jquery UI.
The problem is I want to apply jquery mobile style to particular buttons\submit and not jquery UI.
So by default jquery UI is applying its style to the button, but I want to use jquery mobile.
<input type="submit" value="Save">
how to tell that submit to use jquery mobile css? (I still need to use both styles on the page, just want to tell the button to use the mobile style)
You must read the documentation for buttons.
As per the documentation, all following code will generate jQuery mobile style button
Anchor
<form>
<button>Button</button>
<input type="button" value="Input">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
If it is not working, the reference to the jquery-UI would be the culprit.
Have your tried:
<input type="button" value="Input">
If it does not work, you might have an issue somewhere else on the page.

How to center input radio

I'm using jquery mobile for my project. It automatically converts all radio buttons in its inputs with its styles. The major problem is that in different situations i have different number of buttons (it depends on user) with its different width and i need it every time center.
<div data-role="fieldcontain" id="inline" >
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" data-mini="true">
{section name=i loop=$data['input'] start=0}
<input name="position" id="radio{$smarty.section.i.index}" value="{$data['input'][i]}" type="radio" />
<label for="radio{$smarty.section.i.index}">
{$data['input'][i]}
</label>
{/section}
</fieldset>
</div>
As you see each button has his size (for example Up and Zoom In are different). As i said before - i don't know what buttons will be for each users - it depends on their own settings, so i need somehow automatize process of centering it - is some ideas?
You could try it with <a> instead of <input> as done in the documentation, if at all possible in your situation.

Select the containing div of selected radio button

With the following markup:
<div class="paymentOption">
<input type="radio" name="paymentOption" value="1" />
<span class="marginLeft10">1-time payment using a different credit card</span>
</div>
Using CSS only, how do we select the div that contains a selected radio button? (is this possible?)
This is currently impossible with CSS. You can use jQuery though:
