How To Discover If AttachEvent Was Done To An Element
Aug 28, 2007I need to check if attachEvent was done to an element. The problem is that attachEvent does not save this information anywhere.

View 12 RepliesSpecifically, assume I have a div tag of absolute dimensions. I need
to figure out, first, whether or not the text inside the div tag is
partially hidden by the overflow setting, and if so, what the hidden
text is.
Is this even possible? Obviously, the rendering engine in the browser
"knows" this information, but is it accessible through Javascript?
I'm just trying to register a simple click event onto a input element with addEventListener and attachEvent... My code:
[Code]...
Today I have been testing the event models from Netscape 4.8 and IE 4
to the current crop of browsers. I'd like to write a small event
library similar in purpose to the Yahoo! UI event library but with less
features and code. The Yahoo! event library is one of the best
libraries in YUI but it still seems to me to have some confused
code...that or I'm still confused.
The Yahoo! UI library focuses on using addEventListener and
attachEvent. However, due to the click and dblclick bugs in Safari a
long legacy event workaround is included to use a Netscape4-type event
model for Safari. Something like this
var listeners = [function(event){}, function(event){}];
document.getElementById('blue').onmouseover = function(event) {
for (var i=0; i<listeners.length; i++) {
listeners[i](event);
}
};
With this above example, multiple handler functions can be fired for a
single event. I imagine that this is an old trick that has been around
for a long time, yes?
With all the new browsers I tested with this legacy workaround, the
listener handlers can use event.stopPropogation() or
event.cancelBubble=true and they work as desired. The handler functions
can also use event.preventDefault() and event.returnValue=false and
they too work. These seem to work because the event object passed to
the handlers is a modern event object and not one from Netscape4.
My question is, if Safari needs this legacy workaround, and the legacy
workaround seems to work in all the browsers that have addEventListener
or attachEvent, then why bother with the addEventListener and
attachEvent functions at all? Why not just use the legacy way for all
browsers and all type of events.?
if i use AttachEvent like this,it can't work;
eg:
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.attachEvent("onclick",alert("test"));
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.appendChild(img); //can't work;
div.innerHTML="<-click this";
but i use attachEvent like this,it work; eg:
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.attachEvent("onclick",alert("test"));
var text = document.createElement("span");
text.innerHTML="<-click this";
var div = documet.createElement("div");
div.appendChild(img); //can work
div.appendChild(text);
I am trying to write a loop that will add 10 divs to the screen. Each
div will have an onclick event. The function that will be called
onclick requires a parameter. That parameter is dynamic based on the
index of the loop. In Firefox this is no problem. However in IE I get
some results that I wouldn't expect.
Here is my code:
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var linename = jsonObj.lines[i].line;
var childcountid = jsonObj.lines[i].childcount;
var lineid = jsonObj.lines[i].lineid;
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.setAttribute("id","main" + i);
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
//************ this is the problem area
*****************
newspan.attachEvent("onclick", function() {getCategories('main' +
i)});
}
else
{
newspan.setAttribute("onclick", "getCategories('main" + i + "')");
}
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(n ewdiv);
}
What happens is when the element is clicked the parameter being passed
to getCategories is always 'main9' IE always grabs the current value
of i, not the value of i at the stage of the loop that attachEvent was
called.....
As I understand it so far:
element.attachEvent()
IE 5+ for PC
element.addEventListener()
Gecko, KHTML
element.event
NS3+, IE4+, dunno about opera or others
Since I'm only concerned with attaching a single event and don't care about bubbling/capturing, am I best off not using the old style of event registering to assure maxium compatibility?
Does anyone know of a way to attach multiple events to the document element?
I have a class that when initiated attaches events to the element it effects but also attaches an event to the document element.
If my class is declared more then once, only one of the classes will be effected by the event (on the document element) where as I need both.
this.addEvent = function(obj, type, fn )
{
if(obj.attachEvent)
{
obj['e'+type+fn] = fn;
obj[type+fn] = function()
{
obj['e'+type+fn]( window.event );
}
obj.attachEvent( 'on'+type, obj[type+fn] );
}
else
obj.addEventListener( type, fn, false );
}
I presume it works fine on Firefox because addEventListening allows multiple assignments where as attachEvent doesn't.
The event added to the flash object (videoPlayer) or to its container (player) responds as expected in all browsers except ie. I trtied everything I could possibly think of and still can't get it work in ie. The only event that works in ie is "onactivate".

I have a cross domain iframe resizing script (using postMessage) that works perfectly in Chrome, FF, Safari and IE9 - browsers that use addEventListener I'm trying to get it to work in IE8 by adding what I thought was the right language for attachEvent, but it's not working in IE8 - I just get 'Object doesn't support this property or method' - again just in IE8.

A page I'm working on lets users open a new window, which in turn lets them send data back to the parent page to create new table rows, cells, links, etc. One of the links created is "delete", so it should delete the row that the delete link belongs to when clicked on. I can do this no problem in ff using the setAttribute('onclick',onClickEvent), but can't do this in IE. I'll show some code to make this easier to understand....

why the following code refuses to do anything.

I get the error "sfHover isn't defined". What am I doing wrong? The purpose of the code would be to add a :hover (here: .sfHover) css pseudo-class on the mouseover event, to work in IE.
i have a menu generated by a list with nested lists. i want the parent link to stay highlighted when the mouse hovers over the sub menus. because those sub menus are also generated by jquery (qtip), CSS alone won't do it (triedul.topnav li:hover a {background-color: #F00;}).is there a way to do this using jquery?

The table is dynamically generated using a Django template ( form.as_table() ) so I'm not able to alter the original HTML markup too much.

I have created a form with malsup's Form Plugin wherein it submits on change of the inputs. I have set up my jQuery script to index drop down menus and visible inputs, and uses that index to determine whether keydown of tab should move focus to the next element or the first element, and likewise with shift+tab keydown. However, instead of moving focus to the first element from the last element on tab keydown like I would like it to, it moves focus to the second element. How can I change it to cycle focus to the actual first and last elements? Here is a live link to my form: [URL]. Here is my script:
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
target: '#c_main',
success: setFocus

i have got about 50 definition lists on one html-page witch all look linke this:
<dl>
<dt class="title">aaa</dt>
<dd class="subtitle">bbb</dd>
<dd class="city">ccc</dd>
<dd class="email">ddd</dd>
<dd class="website">eee</dd>
<dd class="description">fff</dd>
</dl>
if the dt-element in one of the definition lists has a specific css-property (e.g. length > 100px) then the dd-element with the css-class "subtitle" in the same definition list should be removed.
I'm doing a very simple expand/collapse function using 'slideToggle'. The button that triggers this event simply says 'Expand/collapse'. I want this text to change depending on whether an element is visible or hidden.

If I generate a new element via AJAX, jQuery don't listen to events at this element. I read that live() how to use this function together with post().
That's what I have:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('products.php', $('#products_form').serialize(), function(returnData) {
$('.target').html(returnData);
});

Is this possible with JQuery? I have the following code which I think Should do this, but it's not working :/These are two different functions which I've been testing, and the html element is supposed to create a dropdown list via some PHP which will have the option "Other" within it. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly how to turn "Other" into a text box when the user clicks, and I've been spending a lot of time on this already.

I'm using the Microsoft Virtual Earth Version 1 Commercial Control.
I want to make it so you can click on a pinpoint that's plotted on the
map and all mouse events are passed to the map so that the user can
click anywhere on the map (including the pin points) and drag/zoom the
map around.
For those of you who haven't used Virtual Earth:
Basically, there are a bunch on absolutely positioned Div elements. I
basically want to pass all mouse events from one absolutely positioned
div element to the absolutely positioned div element directly beneath
it.
