I have been trying to do the following. Using JS I want to create an
input element (text box) and attach a event listener. I have done in
in two different ways. The first is using xml elements directly (as in
e4x) and the second using the dom method createElement (which is much
clunkier to write). I'd prefer the former. I've included a stripped
down example below.
It appears that when creating an input element using the line:
var inputBox = <input type="text" size="30" />
that it does not have the same properties as when it is created with:
var inputBox2 = document.createElement("input");
because when an event listener is attached using addEventListener, an
error is generated on the first, but not the second.
My thoughts on this are either
1. The namespace for the input element is not correct and whether input
can have a listener attached. However, my guess is that it would not
show up in the first div box. Code:
I am trying to "ajaxify" my site. Now I have one problem:
$("#posts").children().remove(); $("#tag-sidebar").children().remove(); $.each(data.Tags_Sidebar, function (indexInArray, valueOfElement) { var insert = $("<li>");
[Code]......
Now when I click one of those links (href1, href2, href3) generated, the click event won't execute! What's the problem? Also, is it right that I have to transfer the valueOfElement over, like I did? What does stopEventPropagation do? Prevent the href from being navigated to? That's what I am trying to do.
I have just started my adventure with jQuery. I wrote a post on a forum and a men wrote me:"Don't mix javascript with the html of the view as in your <body onLoad="load()">, but put it in a different javascript file thatyou include. In the JQuery tutorial there are example of how to attach events to DOM elements without "touching" the html. "I know how to put my javaScript code to the a ****.js file but I don't can not find any information how to do:attach events to DOM elements without "touching" the html. I was looking for a tutorial here but I couldn't find
1. Is there any possibility to find out if mouseover, mouseout or any other mouse event is taking place for the given element right now? 2. Is there any possibility to find out for which element such event is taking place right now?
I need clarification on this particular idea. I believe the elements are not yet loaded into memory/accessible during the first firing of a script in the head tag, so this would cause me an error (or at least it has):
document.getElementById('cText').onkeyup = function addBlurb(e)
So in order to solve this I had to put it inside the onload method of the window. However it seems as if I am missing something here. Any words? Do I have to attach events inside the onload? Are there things I should know relative to this in regards to jQuery (for future reference).
Im working on a ajax app and not sure what is the best way to bind events to elements (performance wise).I have a number of elements with 'click', 'focus', 'keydown' events which can be assigned though the delegate to the parent, like so:$('#parent').delegate('#child', 'click', func.....)but is it better to add a delegate to the 'document' for multiple events and use IF statement to filter for elements which should fire an event, like so:[code]Each element can be replaced with an updated version retrieved from the server.
I define a "click" event on "a" tags in the ready part of a page. It fires just fine when I click on any "a" tag on the page. I then have a button which sets the content of a div using ajax. This content contains a couple of "a" tags. The issue now is that the "click" event does NOT fire when clicking on these tags. I suspect it is because they did not exist when the page was initially rendered. What is the "JQuery way" of dealing with an issue like this? Of course I cannot be the only one in the world who needs to return HTML with events from my ajax calls :-)
It looks like when I do $("object").bind("<mouse-event>") the event isn't actually being bound to the element in Chrome and Firefox (not sure about IE). Using $("object").each(function()
while creating this i am attaching the change event using live() function. On changing the above option i am recreating the above dropdown again. This dropdown in under a div .For eg:it has an id=1. During the time of recreating the above dropdown,i am dettaching the event handlers using die() and after that i remove the div with id=1.Again i will create a div with id=1 and a dropdown.
The problem now is that when i try to change the option two change events are triggered.I think the die() method haven't worked. Is it because i have created the dropdown under the div with same id?
I'm trying to use a javascript class to assign specific event handlers to different elements. I create an object and pass it a reference to the element, and some properties for the event handler to use. When the event fires, I want the handler to reference the properties of the object. But I'm clearly doing something wrong as multiple instances all refer to the most recent object only.
I have an div element (lets call it div number 1) that I have attached a click event to using jquery.bind() method. That works fine. I then have another div element (div number 2) that is absolute positioned on top of div 1. Now div number 2 also has a click event binded to it, which works... the problem is when I click div 2 and the click event triggers, so does the click event from div 1... I don't want the click event from div 1 to fire.
DIV 2 is inside DIV 1. DIV 1 has mouse events (i.e. onmouseover, onmousemove). The problem is, when DIV 2 is over DIV 1, the mouse events don't fire. In my specific case, DIV 2 follows the mouse so it's always right below the mouse and always above DIV 1. How can I make the DIV 1 events fire?
I have HTML tags stored in XML. I want to be able to use these HTML elements with Javascript, just as you can with elements in document.body. How can it be done? (And don't try and tell me I should use server-side because I have written it all for Javascript and the project is nearly complete minus this and there are practical reasons for not doing this server-side. After all, anything is possible with Javascript!)
Let me explain:
- I have HTML templates such as this [URL]
- I want javascript to populate these templates then add them to my page
- The only way I know javascript can get this kind of data is by parsing XML
- I want to parse the XML then be able to use the HTML elements just like those in document.body
- As far as I'm aware, XML is the only good way of storing data for javascript. I don't want to store it in javascript variables (too much multiline data with " and '). Nor do I want to build it using document.createElement("div")... etc
As someone not yet with any experience in computer science etc, please ignore my poor terminology! However, I'm not a beginner when it comes to javascript.
Here's the script concerned but I doubt it'll help you understand my problem: [URL]
On my site, I have some click-able spans (will be referred to as toggle spans) that show or hide other spans (that contain the content I want on my site; will be referred to as content spans). The layout of these spans is like this:
Using $.get() and insertBefore() work great for what I'm doing. But, the data I insert does not respond to events that I have set up. I'm notsurprised by this. I'm sure there is something extra I need to do. But, what is that?
Internet Explorer can't bind events to absolute positioned elements ? can't bind a "click" to an element that is overlapping another.Have tried loads of different ways, here are 5 of them:
version 1: $(".classHolder").click(function(){ alert( $(this).html() ); }); version 2:
1. Get a piece of HTML from a db 2. Display it on my page with a requirement - clicking on any links in that HTML should not take me away from the page.
This does not only include links which are formed by <a>nchor tags, but also other ways of doing it, like, <span onClick='location.href="http://someurl"'> Blah blah.. </span>
In other words, all the events that can be raised by this piece of html should be blocked.
Setting all the 'onClick's and 'href's to "#" or blank string is probably a good idea to start with, but the list of all such possible causes for an event to be raised, may not be very straightforward to compile.
I was wondering if there could be any way to nullify/block the events that can be raised by such a piece of HTML.
In the examples for live() and delegate(), the selectors match at least one element that already exists. Will either of these commands work on elements for which there is no match at all on page load?
In my case, I want to bind a keyup event to the textareas that jeditable creates. I could probably create custom plug-in (to the plug-in :) to do the job, but I'd like to use live or delegate if they would work.
when is bind some jquery events to, for example, <p id="test">. and later i remove this HTML with jquery should i unbind all events first or are they unbinded with removing the html?
I'm using some click events on normal <a> tags. When I rewrite the links within a html() method call, the click events no longer work. I've set up a very simple example here:When the page is loaded, clicking either of the 'link 2' links displays the correct information.When 'link 1' is then clicked, the main information is redisplayed. However, now, the 'link 2' link in the main paragraph doesn't work, although the 'link 2' link in the menu does.
I have been trying to use jquery function .html() but I noticed that it clears all events that are attached to the selectors. Is there a way around this issue? I want to change the content and keep the events.
I am aware of live and delegate functions but I am making changes to an external page so I do not have control over attaching events or knowing what they are at the first place.
I have a problem with jQuery appending new text to a div - but then not firing events attached to the inserted text.Let me explain. I have a div that contains a number of divs - the div has a link and a hidden form. Clicking on the link fires a slideToggle event which reveals the form.When you submit the form AJAX handles it and jQuery builds another div with the correct link and the correct form which it sticks on the end of the list. That all works fine and dandy.What I want to be able to do is to click on the newly-added link and have it behave in the same way as the other elements that were on the page when it was built. However, nothing happens when you click on it. Zip. Nadda. Rien du tout.Usually I have found a way round the problem - but I am slightly stuck on my current project. Apart from forcing a page reload, is there any way to get the browser to see the newly inserted link and apply the jQuery action to it?
