adds support for component and component installer for composer

tested with composer custom repo definition in composer.json:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/glensc/blockui"
        }   
    ]
    "require": {
        "components/jquery-blockui": "*@dev",

after PR merge, probably should:

1. create new git tag (f.e 2.66) in blockui and push it to github (don't forget to update versions in source)
2. register package on packagist.org

$ bower install jquery.blockUI
bower cloning git://github.com/malsup/blockui#~2.55.0-2013.01.23
bower caching git://github.com/malsup/blockui#~2.55.0-2013.01.23
bower fetching jquery.blockUI
bower error status code of git: 128

There were errors, here's a summary of them:
- jquery.blockUI status code of git: 128
fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

$ bower search jquery.blockUI

Hi, I am using BlockUI for exactly what i need to do, which is to load a custom html format (including css classes including background images) message on trigger. In IE, this works perfectly but in FF, Safari and Chrome, none of the background images from the CSS display at all, so i am left with an untidy/incomplete looking loading screen. What is strange is that i have an unordered list with custom styled bullet images which are defined by the css and these display without problem in FF, Safari and Chrome. It is the div background images that do not work.

Do you have any ideas. Other than that BlockUI is awesome.

Thanks

There is fragment of code in block logic: if ($.css(this,'position') == 'static') this.style.position = 'relative';

The problem is that after unblock it is not ralled back. So if inside div are absolute positioned element (like lightweight dialogs) they logic will be broken

Using this code:

$(document).ajaxStart($.blockUI).ajaxStop($.unblockUI);

I know there's already some code to correct this issue here: https://github.com/malsup/blockui/blob/master/jquery.blockUI.js#L118-L120

// style to replace wait cursor before unblocking to correct issue of lingering wait cursor
cursorReset: 'default',

This doesn't act on IE 10 unfortunately.

As always, if I move the mouse the wait cursor goes way, but this is not good from a user point of view, that is, the user has to move the mouse. The cursor should reset back to the default one automatically.

Works great with latest Chrome 24 and Firefox 18.

BlockUI is working well in any Safari version when OSX is 10.7 or less, but it's failing when using it on OSX 10.8. It blocks the UI with a blank screen. Maybe it has something to do with new Notification Center feature of Mountain Lion.

Take a look: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Articles/SendingNotifications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001483-CH23-SW6

It would be cool, if blockui would pass the JSHint (with default options):

http://www.jshint.com/

Currently we get a lot of warnigs like this:

Line 38: if (title) $m.append('<h1>'+ title+'</h1>');
    Expected '{' and instead saw '$m'.
Line 521: if (e.keyCode && e.keyCode == 9) {
    Expected '===' and instead saw '=='.
Line 572: setup(jQuery);
    'jQuery' is not defined.
Line 545: function focus(back) {
    'focus' is defined but never used.

Hi there, I'm using this plugin and it works really nice but now I'm having problem with a legacy page when I'm reusing some templates with style from css and the content that is shown in into the modal dialog just does not preserve their styles.

Is there something to do so the content into the modal keeps the styles?

I've noticed that the cursor changes to the wait cursor by default on block but in Internet Explorer when the screen is unblocked the cursor doesn't change back right away. The user has to move the mouse for the cursor to change. It works fine in all other browsers. Any way to work around this?

Hi

I use blockUi to display informations without processing something.

Is it possible to not change mouse icon to wait ? I need normal arrow. I try to use mouse : null or erase this line but nothing change.

Is it possible ?

Thank

The example on this page where you click on the link doesn't block in Chrome (Version 52.0.2743.82 m) or IE11...

http://jquery.malsup.com/block/#element

It works as expected in Firefox 48.0

Hi, I would like to download the production version of blockui, but the link doesn't work. is http://malsup.github.io/min/jquery.blockUI.min.js the correct one that can download the minified version? Thanks a lot.

Hi. I tried the demo page https://jquery.malsup.com/block/ but it neither works in a current Safari nor Chrome.

My personal installation however does work with Chrome, but still Safari makes problems.

This code does show a spinner whenever a link or submit button is pressed. When the target page is loaded, the ui disappears. It works fine in Chrome. But Safari does not show it.

$(document).on('click',
    'a[href*="/"][target!="_blank"]:not(.suppress-block-ui), button[type=submit]:not(.suppress-block-ui)',
    function (e) {
       // e.preventDefault() // **
        if(! e.ctrlKey && !e.metaKey )
            myBlockUi();
    });

If I try to prevent the navigation (**), the ui does appear on Safari as well.

Hello, there are a possibility to execute something like:

$('.selector').on('block', function(){
   console.log('the element has been blocked');
});

$('.selector').on('unblock', function(){
   console.log('the element has been unblocked');
});

$('.selector').block();
$('.selector').unblock();

Thank you!

Is there a way to update the message in the $.blockUI without calling another $.blockUI? The behavior of calling another blockUI to update the block message momentarily removes the existing block to put the new block up. This is not ideal as we want to keep the screen locked during a process and only want to update the message, but currently the screen unlocks for a split second to change the block message when calling blockUI again to update the block message.
