he scenario is that I want to add on onclick handler to a link. When the onclick handler fires, I want action A to take place, which will be a request. I want to insure that action A completes before the click to the link retrieves the page. To do that, I would like to issue a preventDefault(), wait for action A to complete and then direct the browser to the page specified in the link (e.g., set location.href="clicked_link_ref").
I just cannot find any practical information that leads me to a way to do this. I have googled and read the O'Reilly book on JS and the JS cookbook, as well. I haven't been able to backtrack from their examples to a solution to my own problem.
The Yahoo! UI event library goes to extremely great lengths to solve this problem. Their solution is very creative but uses browser sniffing. In Safari 1.3 (and earlier?) the following example follows the link when it should not. Does anyone know of any solutions without browser sniffing?
<p><a id="one" href="http://www.yahoo.com">link cancelled with e.preventDefault()</a(isn't cancelled in Safari 1.3, is cancelled in Safari 2)</p>
I have this function which prevent the default envent of a link. So far is ok. Then the function execute some tasks and then I need TO CONTINUE with the event with something like event.continueDefault(); Can I do this?
Something like:
$('.link').live('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); // STOP THE EVENT ...//EXECUTE SOME TASKS event.continueDefault() // LET THE EVENT CONTINUE. Of course, this line doesn't work. });
I'm using IE8 and when I pass: event.preventDefault(); I get an error message:
Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/ 4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729) Timestamp: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:07:41 UTC Message: Object doesn't support this property or method Line: 256 Char: 3
I know the title is not so good, it's hard to explain the simply thing I'd like to do.In fact, I'm looking for a reverse e.preventDefault() method, something like that :
$(document).keydown(function (e){ if ( e.keyCode == 9) {
I am checking if a form on a jQuery tab is changed, and if it has, the user should get a popup warning when they navigate away from the tab with the form or click any other link on the page for that matter. So I setup this code:
$('a').bind('click', function(event) { if (formChanged == true) { event.preventDefault()
[code]....
in the $(document).ready() function. I can see the code is executed, but the click on the link still comes through and the form is lost. I've tried .click() and .live('click') as well but that doesn't work either.
I want create a page which has animation at the bottom of that page. I use jQuery to do that. This is the way I do it <a href="#" class="animation">Animate this</a> And this is the jquery
$(document).ready(function() { $('a.animation').click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); //animation goes here; }); }); When I run the code, all animation run very well except the page always scroll to the top. I try to change the href attribute to javascript:void(0); but it still run like that..
I am having issues with a new window that I create in my application not executing its Javascript. The js is there in the source and looks all normal, but it is simply not being recognized. I am running on Jboss 4.0.2. Here is the code, its simple... Code:
i would like to use it to replace a checkbox with an image and to swap it when it's clicked.unfortunately the change is not recognized inside the internet-explorer.
here is the code:
<label for ="footer_ger_lock"
[code]...
there is some php too that saves and displays the lock/unlock states, but i only wrote down the bare bones to keep the overview here.
Let's say I have two images. I make one dragable. I physically move one image directly over the other. While my mouse is pressed I release it. The image underneath recognizes and gives a message indicating it's covered by the other????
I am using jQuery Superfish (with Supersubs) but I'm getting an JS error when loading the page:Error: $("ul#topmenu").supersubs is not a function I looked at the supersubs.js file but I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm calling jquery.js, jquery.superfish.js, and jquery.supersubs.js on the <head> and initiating menu as suggested:
I'm new to programming with the DOM and new to this forum as well. I have the code below showing a web page that is simply trying to alert the user of recognized DOM nodes. I am not getting the bodyElement or textElement to be recognized by the browser. The error states that "an object is required."
I'm using some jquery in a website I'm building. Here's what I'm trying to do on one of the pages: I've got a span with some text and a button in it. When the button is clicked, it fires up a jquery click function for its class that is supposed to insert a textbox into it and take the text and put it in the textbox. The class of the button is also changed from "editButton" to "finishButton" so that the other click function fires, which is going to call a webmethod to update whatever the user entered in the database.
But, the function for the editButton class gets executed when it's clicked the next time instead. I know that the class of the button has changed because the css styles for the finishButton class are in effect. I also tried removing the clicked button and creating a new one dynamically, but that one does nothing at all; it doesn't go to either click function. The stuff in the .finishButton function is only there just so I can test whether or not that function actually runs. Whether it works or not, it shouldn't matter... I'm using Firebug so if I put a break point in there, it should hit it either way, right? And this is in an aspx page if that matters at all.
I have two functions show after the message. The first works fine. When a checkbox is clicked with the class availableProfile, its class is removed, selectedProfile added. It is then appended to anotehr list and destroyed in the original. However when i click the now moved checkbox it doesn't recognize it has the new class of selectedProfile.
the below code is for a form that is validated against some external (valid.js) functions. It's my first forray into Event Delegation and stupidly (testing in FF only just now) I didn't realise that the addEventListener isn't recognised in IE. Anyone got an idea which way I should look at sorting it. I am still searching and playing around but can't seem to find the right solution.
[code] Hide from browsers that do not understand Javascript.The addLoadEvent function adds functions to the window.onload command to load multiple functions at startup function addLoadEvent(func)[code]When the page loads I get the nice alert box that says loading and then one that says count equals 0.When i click my edit list drop down and choose modify I get a message box that reads count equals in edit function 0.If I type text in the textbox and leave the text box I get an alert box that reads count equals in subcheck function Undefined and then another one that says NaN.
problem: input values not recognized in dinamicly loaded IFRAMEs
here is the thing I have a parent window that has an IFRAME I then load a diffrent page into the IFRAME that contains an input
when I try to access - iFrm.document.all["grid_name"].value
i get an error saying that - "value is null or not an object"
I tryed checking to make sure the page is fully loaded using: document.readyState=="complete" and it is loaded and completed
the weirdest thing is that when debugging the error I can see the value in the debbuger and after that I get the value alerted just fine so how come I get an error ????? Code:
My HTML looks something like the following: <label for="myTextBox"> Name:<span style="color:red;">*</span> <input type="text" id="myTextBox"></input> </label>
In my document ready I have a function which runs 'on blur' of the textbox and hides the span. The following code DOESN'T work to hide the span: $('#myTextBox').closest('span').hide();
I'm currently using the code below which does work but was wondering why the above code doesn't.... $('#myTextBox').parent().children(':first').hide();
Has anybody used <button type="submit" name="dil" value="bert">dilbert</button> and attempted to add submit validation through the submit handler and preventDefault() only to find out the element value is missing? I'm currently experiencing this problem and it's a real headache.
