Adding An Onclick Event To A Div From Within Javascript
Sep 5, 2007
I am trying to add an onclick event to a div from within javascript. Basically i have 2 divs containing arrows ("<<" and ">>"), used to toggle the week of a calendar. At the moment the ajax communication and handling of the response is working fine. After i processed this, i want to switch the arrows, basically add onclick to the previously non-active arrow and then nullify the previously active arrow. How do i go about doing this? Below is my attempt at solving it, with no luck. Code:
I can add a onclick="code here" to the tag so that when the drop box alabama is selected it triggers the onclick event. Im using Ibox in order to have a image of the state open.
Code: <a href="images/large/image_1b.jpg" rel="ibox" title="alabama at 1024x450!"><img src="images/small/image_1.jpg" alt=""/></a>
the above is a <a> link tag correct? How do I go bout adding the above code into the onclick event?
Im trying to develop an AJAX application which updates a <select> list with a series of <option> tags when the user makes an entry in a field.
Therefore, my ajax application needs to dynamically create <option> tags and append them to the <select> list on the form. I have got this working in all browsers. However, i do not know how to add an "onclick" event handler to each <option> tag that is dynamically created in my javascript code.
Code:
As you can see, i create an option javascript object for each new <option> tag and add it to the <select> list. This works. But how can i also add an "onclick" event handler in the javascript code?
I'm trying to add a onclick event that will sort an two dimensional array to a existing element that I can not change. The error I keep getting is User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E) Timestamp: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:15:48 UTC
I'm using the ibox javascript library which is very similar to lightbox in functionality. I'm trying to do something seemingly simple but am having difficulty.
My goal: Use ibox to show a dynamic graph based on a clicked link.
When the user clicks the link it will grab data from the current table row, format it, and render it using the flot library. This will all be done in a hidden div. This is easy enough. Then the hidden div will be displayed using ibox.
These are both easy enough tasks individually. What i'm having trouble with is combining them into a single click.
Currently I have it setup like this.
Code "Html:
When a user clicks this link the loadGraph() function never executes. I'm assuming this is because priority is being given to ibox (indicated by the rel attribute). How can I force my onclick event to be executed before the ibox is loaded?
I would even be ok if it was executed after the ibox was loaded, my main goal is to get both actions to occur in a single click.
when the image is clicked with the mouse, function func1 is invoked as expected. When I call function changeFunction, I want to change the code that is invoked when the image is clicked from func1 to func2. Instead, both are invoked because addEventListener and attachEvent add an additional handler instead of setting one.
I am looking for a way to change the handler from one function to another. Can anyone think of a solution probably using removeEventListener?
I created a "cancel" button for my form at the clients' request, I accidentally copied a submit button and added an OnClick event- a very simple javascript.history function. It did not appear to work at all- it kept submitting the form. I changed the submit button to a plain old button and it worked fine.
Can anyone explain how the browser works with a javascript onClick event ona submit button? Does it automatically submit the form no matter what onClick event you use?
I want to make it so that when I click on something, it changes what document.onclick does.
This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:
Code: <div id="clickme" onclick="document.onclick = function(){ alert ('This should not be alerted on the first click'); }">Click here</div>
However, as you'll notice, the alert box shows up on the first click as well. The only way I have been able to get around this behaviour is to have the first onclick execute a timer that will then set the document.onclick after 1ms, however this seems very messy to me.
currently on our site we have and expanding <div> that responds to both the onmouseover and onmouseout events. It works wonderfully.
The UX people now would like the expanding <div> to open with the onclick event and then as soon as the mouse leaves the expanded div, it would close. I have tried using the onmouseout event in conjunction the onclick event but it does not work (the div persists).
This is driving me insane. I'm trying to use createElement inside a loop to make some <divs>, each of which has an onclick event. I threw together this test page to demonstrate it:
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>
[Code]....
When I click on any of the boxes it alerts "5", the final value of x after the loop ends, instead of what the value of x was when the loop executed and created the element ("0", "1", "2", etc.). This is happening if FF and ie.
I also noticed in Firebug if I put a breakpoint on the "yay.onclick=function(){alert(x)}" line that it will break everytime I click on one of the boxes. Very strange...
How can I put in a variable on the yay.onclick=function(){alert(x)} line and have it "stick"?
As you can see the image has an onclick associated with it.I want to do a similar thing with the selection of the font-size.As the action needs to occur after the client has selected the size, probably I will need "on buttun up" ( or is it onRelease ? ) this one <select name="x_size"> ?or on all the option statements ?
I am in the process of creating a billboard script for our company front page which will switch between two images. I am using the following script as a base: [URL]
I am eager to learn coding, but am still a novice at it so I was wondering if anyone could assist me with adding the following functionality:
1. Rather than (or perhaps in addition to) having the two images change based on a timer, I'd like to be able to insert a "next" arrow. Therefore I will need assistance in coding a button to change the images from "ad_1" to "ad_2" which is currently done automatically by the interval timer
2. I'd like to make the images clickable with unique destinations (so when you click on "ad_1" it will take you to "link 1", "ad_2" will take you to "link 2"
Below is my current code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head>
I am dynamically creating page elements by looping through an array and adding them to the DOM. Each element has an action that should be performed when it is clicked. This action (or a reference to it) determined by the current array value as well. Because the code called in the onclick handler is not executed until the event fires, the value of the current array item (at the time the onclick handler is attached) is not preserved resulting in the expected behavior not happening.Here is an extremely simplified example of the problem I'm facing:
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I am trying to display a notice to users whose browser does not support a method for adding an event. However, I want this notice to appear in a DIV rather than in an annoying alert box each time the page loads. I would also like this DIV to go away if it is clicked on. However, I can't get anything into the onClick attribute in Firefox 1.5 or Internet Explorer 6.
var alert_element = document.createElement('div'); alert_element.style.color = 'darkred' alert_element.style.border = ƈpx solid darkred' alert_element.style.padding = Ƌpx' alert_element.style.cursor = 'pointer' alert_element.innerHTML = '<b>Your browser does not support the addition of event listeners!</b>'
/* Remove the alert element when clicked. */ alert_element.onClick = "parent_element.parentNode.removeChild(this)";
/* Create the temporary status message element. */ parent_element.parentNode.insertBefore(alert_element, parent_element.nextSibling);
The "parent_element" is already declared before this is reached. There are no errors displayed and the new DIV element shows up just as expected. However, clicking on the DIV does nothing.
I wanted to add a onclick event handler to an image in a loop cos I have a dynamic number of images. The problem is I also need to pass a parameter. This works in Opera 8, but doesn't work in IE:
document.images[i].onclick = "javscript: ShowDesc(" + i + ");";
This makes a link that calls myFunction(0) when I click it. Now I want to add a popup whenever the user clicks the link (but I can't add it to myFunction for some reason), so I add an event listener to this <a> in the $(document).ready() function:
$('ul.menu li a').click( function() { alert("hi"); });
Now the the popup does appear, but it doesn't execute myFunction(0) anymore.
So finally my question: is there a way to pass my <a>'s href to this click-function and makes it execute? Or is there a better way?
I've worked with them on many occasions, but my question if an HTML tag currently has an onclick event and I need to add another, can I just simply add another onclick? Example
<a href="/files/Registration_Form.doc" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/Registration_Form_Universal'); onclick="javascript:this.form-just a sample">here</a>
I can add a onclick="code here" to the tag so that when the drop box alabama is selected it triggers the onclick event. Im using Ibox in order to have a image of the state open.
<a href="images/large/image_1b.jpg" rel="ibox" title="alabama at 1024x450!"><img src="images/small/image_1.jpg" alt=""/></a>
the above is a <a> link tag correct? How do I go bout adding the above code into the onclick event?
im busy with a school project to create a photo viewer type site with java script. the whole thing i being created from java script and im giving all the img's an ID tag how do i go about getting the id of the img that i have just clicked. i know my current code doesn't work properly in IE. the reason i want the Id is so later i can hopefully use the info to determine which img to "zoom in" etc
