I’m having an issue while developing a basic Rails application. I’ve implemented Twitter Bootstrap

  • 0

I’m having an issue while developing a basic Rails application. I’ve implemented Twitter Bootstrap and its responsive navbar. When the page is loaded on mobile screens the navbar should slide down and slide back up as designed. I’m trying to figure out why certain scenarios are making the jQuery animation glitchy and unusable. I want to make sure that this problem won’t manifest in deployment and because it’s quite annoying.

My scenarios are:


Development server on localhost

Chrome (17.0.963.83)

  • Animation works fine.
  • No issues in Developer Tools

Firefox (7.0.1)

  • Animation glitchy.
  • Firebug shows a 3 step process happening in

    `<div class="nav-collapse" style="height: auto;">...</div>`
    
    `<div class="nav-collapse collapse" style="height: 0px;">...</div>`
    
    `<div class="nav-collapse" style="height: auto;">...</div>`
    

Safari on iPhone 4 and iPhone Simulator

  • Animation glitchy.
  • Apparent 3 step process as well.

Deployed on Heroku

Chrome (17.0.963.83)

  • Works fine

Firefox (7.0.1)

  • Works fine

Safari on iPhone 4 and iPhone Simulator

  • Works fine

As requested…

JSFiddle with my basic code


bootstrap-collapse.js

I think that something in this could be causing the issue but I’m not sure.

!function( $ ){

  "use strict"

  var Collapse = function ( element, options ) {
    this.$element = $(element)
    this.options = $.extend({}, $.fn.collapse.defaults, options)

    if (this.options["parent"]) {
      this.$parent = $(this.options["parent"])
    }

    this.options.toggle && this.toggle()
  }

  Collapse.prototype = {

    constructor: Collapse

  , dimension: function () {
      var hasWidth = this.$element.hasClass('width')
      return hasWidth ? 'width' : 'height'
    }

  , show: function () {
      var dimension = this.dimension()
        , scroll = $.camelCase(['scroll', dimension].join('-'))
        , actives = this.$parent && this.$parent.find('.in')
        , hasData

      if (actives && actives.length) {
        hasData = actives.data('collapse')
        actives.collapse('hide')
        hasData || actives.data('collapse', null)
      }

      this.$element[dimension](0)
      this.transition('addClass', 'show', 'shown')
      this.$element[dimension](this.$element[0][scroll])

    }

  , hide: function () {
      var dimension = this.dimension()
      this.reset(this.$element[dimension]())
      this.transition('removeClass', 'hide', 'hidden')
      this.$element[dimension](0)
    }

  , reset: function ( size ) {
      var dimension = this.dimension()

      this.$element
        .removeClass('collapse')
        [dimension](size || 'auto')
        [0].offsetWidth

      this.$element[size ? 'addClass' : 'removeClass']('collapse')

      return this
    }

  , transition: function ( method, startEvent, completeEvent ) {
      var that = this
        , complete = function () {
            if (startEvent == 'show') that.reset()
            that.$element.trigger(completeEvent)
          }

      this.$element
        .trigger(startEvent)
        [method]('in')

      $.support.transition && this.$element.hasClass('collapse') ?
        this.$element.one($.support.transition.end, complete) :
        complete()
    }

  , toggle: function () {
      this[this.$element.hasClass('in') ? 'hide' : 'show']()
    }

  }

  /* COLLAPSIBLE PLUGIN DEFINITION
  * ============================== */

  $.fn.collapse = function ( option ) {
    return this.each(function () {
      var $this = $(this)
        , data = $this.data('collapse')
        , options = typeof option == 'object' && option
      if (!data) $this.data('collapse', (data = new Collapse(this, options)))
      if (typeof option == 'string') data[option]()
    })
  }

  $.fn.collapse.defaults = {
    toggle: true
  }

  $.fn.collapse.Constructor = Collapse


 /* COLLAPSIBLE DATA-API
  * ==================== */

  $(function () {
    $('body').on('click.collapse.data-api', '[data-toggle=collapse]', function ( e ) {
      var $this = $(this), href
        , target = $this.attr('data-target')
          || e.preventDefault()
          || (href = $this.attr('href')) && href.replace(/.*(?=#[^\s]+$)/, '') //strip for ie7
        , option = $(target).data('collapse') ? 'toggle' : $this.data()
      $(target).collapse(option)
    })
  })

}( window.jQuery );

    Are you using RVM locally? If you are – try setting up a clean gemset for your app and running bundle install again.

    That way you’ll know that you’re using the exact same versions as on your heroku deployment.

    If that doesn’t fix your problem, then there might be a bug in the bootstrap code itself – try raising an issue on the bootstrap issues age. (Or search the existing issues at least)

    As suggested in the comments (and for future googlers…) – Check your compiled assets. Once you’ve ensured that you’re running the same gem versions, make sure you’re referencing the exact same asset files. Delete all of the precompiled assets in the public folder and change config.assets.enabled = true in application.rb.

    This is especially important on Heroku deployments.
