JQuery :: Click Function On Anchor Element?
Jun 10, 2009I'm confused as to why when I have:
$('a').click(function(){
alert(this);
return false;
[code]....
I'm confused as to why when I have:
$('a').click(function(){
alert(this);
return false;
[code]....
consider the following code;
$("#content").click(function(event)
{
if($(event.target).is('a'))
{
$(this).//do something
}
}
I'm binding a click event to a div so that I can see whether is was the div or some element inside the div that has been clicked. When the if() in my code evaluates to true $(this) is still equal to $("#content") whereas I'd like to have the clicked anchor as matched element. How would I do this?
I started with the simplest step - the hide() function:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a#p").click(function(event){
$("#HiddenDiv").hide();
})
});
It worked fine as long as the href attribute of the anchor tag was '#'. Then I tried using href other than '#' and ran into a problem. I just changed the href to:
<a id="p" href="test.php">Click me</a><br />
<div id="HiddenDiv">Testing mate</div>
test.php is the page in which both these sections (html and jquery) are present, so like a postback to the same page.
This method didn't work and on clicking the anchor tag, the div stayed visible.
I then tried theevent.preventDefault(); method and that worked.
So I experimented more. I tried using the hide function on a dynamic link, something like test.php?a=1.
I ran into a problem again. The div remained visible on clicking that link.
my first attempt to post seems to either have been rejected or simply gone into the cyber void.
I currently have a link on a webpage as follows:
<a href="#" id="loadData"><img src="images/bookcase.png" alt="" width="114" height="167" border="0"></a>
which is picked up by
$("#loadData").click(function()
which then executes:
.load("subgenre.php" , function() etc
What I want to be able to do, however, is pass a parameter to the php script, along the lines of:
.load("subgenre.php?param=" + passedParam , function() etc
I have a class hidden by default at the document ready state. I use the show() function when its parent has been clicked and I want to be able to apply a click function to this newly visible element - when I write it I am finding that it is overriding the initial hide(). How do I work around this? I should say that this element is just a bit of text that says "close x" and will be used to "close" its parent div down...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to call the click event of the link (anchor tag) on the click of the button. I used this code below in the click event of button to call links click event and it works fine in IE.
document.getElementById('linktag').click();
But, this doesn't work in Firefox. I googled a bit and found that in firefox, you have to do something more to achieve this behaviour. So, I ended up doing this on button click to work in firefox:
var link=document.getElementById('linktag');
var e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
e.initEvent(
[code]....
The above code does the click on link when I click on the button. But my problem now is that I have defined a link as
<a href="mailto:abc@xyz.com?subject=abc&body=email body">email </a>
and when click is called and mailto links opens my email client, it somehow ignores the subject and body parameters of the link. It works properly when i actually click a link element. but it doesn't work when i simulate the click event by code written above. above dispatching event code somehow ignores the link parameters?
I have a problem with my jquery. This is my code:
jQuery(function(){
jQuery(".class1").toggle(function(){
jQuery(this).animate({ height: 250 }, 'slow');
jQuery(".class12",this).animate({ height: 250 }, 'slow');
[Code].....
So div.class1 wil animate from 100px to 250px if it's clicked. However, I couldnot click the link inside this div. Everytime i click it will be animated to 100px, and I can never get the link.
How can I keep the div.class1 open so that I can click on the link??
I want to use JQuery to detect when a link below is clicked.
HTML Code:
<ul id="mapoutput">
<li>
<a href="#">street=Mathew+Avesuburb=Jewellsstate=NSWpostcode=2280</a>
</li>
[Code]....
Once I have detected which link has been clicked it should pass the co-ordinates to a script.
How should I pass them? The only way i can think of it do have hidden fields whose value I pick out with javascript.
This should be pretty simple one ,yet I can't seem to figure it out. There are posts that are similar to my question on here, but they don't really answer my questions. The a user comes to the page, they're at a URL like such: [URL]..
[Code]...
The following code was tested in Firefox and works also in IE 8. But when clicking the anchor (id=movefoot), it does not work in IE 7.
jQ code :
$('#movefoot').click (function (event) {
// move footer
event.preventDefault();
switch (footeropen) {
[Code].....
When I load the page the div #forgot_login blindes down even though I did NOT click the anchor link. Also, clicking the anchor link does not toggle it up and down. The event binding is not working.
HTML
<a href="#" id="forgot_login_link" title="Show">Show</a>
jQuery Event
$("#forgot_login_link").click(show_hide($("#forgot_login")));
Here is the show/hide code:
function show_hide(p_Element) {
p_Element.toggle('blind', { direction: "vertical" }, 500);
}
First, my url looks like this [url]...
I would like, depending on the value of the anchor called, to add a class to the box related.[code]...
as you can tell by the following statements, i'm new to jQueryI'm trying to do the following (in plain english) without too much success.. ) when document ready.. 2) find the element with id 'next'.3) pull / take all 'li' elements, and perform so and so, all whilst excluding 'last' element.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#next').click(function() {
$('li').each(function() { //for each li ..
[code]....
I`m trying to make selecting an select list option (as it become when we click on it)by clicking on a special pseudo element.I`m trying to do it in this way:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".psevdo-checkbox").each(function(){
$(this).click(function(){
[Code].....
I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I want to, when an anchor link is clicked, the id of the link is grabbed by jquery then passed to a function. The id is would be the same as the id of the div that is used for the function (highlight).
[Code]...
The code is a little messy but I am just testing right now. So if someone clicks on #aq1 link the id "aq1" is grabbed and used for the highlightFade function. It would highlight the div with id "aq1".
I have to intercept the click on anchor's because they do reload the page.
The anchors does use the href attribute to do the reload/jump.
How can I get the event of this? How can I prevent this?
I have a set of links which get assigned listeners by a 3rd party javascript. What I'd like to do is simulate a click of the first anchor (which is dynamically built with PHP), so the click events trigger.

HTML Code:
<form id="fromPreview2commitForm" action="[thisurl]" method="post">
..on a page with JS like so:
Code:
function userBackingOutFromPreviewing() {
document.forms["fromPreview2commitForm"].submit();
}
and an anchor like so:
HTML Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="userBackingOutFromPreviewing()">here</a>
but I am getting this error in FF3/Mac: document.forms.fromPreview2commitForm.submit is not a function Why?I just want the anchor (when ciicked) to submit the form.I have been over several examples I found while googling.. and I follow them.. but still getting this error.
I am trying to save a dynamically created anchor's id onclick, but I am having a lot of trouble.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
[Code]....
I need to get the page to reload with the anchor in the link when it is clicked in a dropdown menu. For example if I am on 'www.domain.com/about/#2' and I then click on 'www.domain.com/about/#3' the url changes but the page doesn't reload so I need the page to reload, but keep the new anchor (#3).I gave the links with anchors a class of 'reload' and tried this:
$('a.reload').click(function() {
window.location.reload();
});
We are developing an Ajax based application. In this application the
URL is fixed and as user navigates on the application we will change
Anchor on the URL so that user can bookmark the url and can load the
page on demand.
When user refreshes the page we have no issue in the populating the
page based on the anchor in URL as on load we can capture the
hash(#anchor) and act accordingly.
sample URL: http://www.google.com/somecontext#<anchor>
When the user clicks back button anchor is changing but not able to
know where to get callback.
Is there any event or way I can find when the user has clicked back
button.
When you click a link it jumps to an anchor point on the page and scrolls there smoothly. I was wondering how I get the same effect if I want the link to jump to another page? A normal anchor point on another page would set the href to, for instance, 'index.html#contact' but it won't work in this case as the javascript isn't reading the '#'.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function goToByScroll(id){
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $("#"+id).offset().top},'slow');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="goToByScroll('contact')">Go to anchor 1</a></li>
</ul>
I am trying to save a dynamically created anchor's id onclick, but I am having a lot of trouble.code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedvBulletin uses a template system so I can't create a separate element for everything -- we have had several people ask for a "skip to the next post" feature and I'd like to implement that for them My first thought was to use anchor tags such as:
<a name="$post[postid]">
for each post and then to create a link for "Jump to Next Post" which would advance the user to the next instance of <a name="$post[postid]"> in which the postid obviously would've changed. With that I didn't know if there was a way that I could have javascript look for the next instance of this, or to pull the postid number and add 1 to it to find the next post on the page. I'm also not sure if it would need to be as complicated as reading where it was at and then adding one and directing person to that anchor point, which is why I thought maybe it could just look for the next instance of <a name="$post[postid]"> and refocus the screen on that.
It doesn't have to be an anchor, it can be a hidden input, whatever makes the JS be able to seek it as a point to move the page to. We do have some members that select a different number of posts per page than the default, so I'm guessing that the plus one might not be a great idea if they used a smaller number per page and then clicked the last one, whereas people with more per post wouldn't need to stop at the same point before it no longer let them. If there's a solution for that, that'd be great as well (such as once it hits the last element on the page, it no longer receives instruction, goes to the top of the page, or something).
Lets say I have a bunch of links with the same class but different anchor text like [code] When the page loads I want the anchor text of each link to display the same text of my choosing. However, when the visitor clicks a link the anchor changes back to the orignial. It would be best if all links could be changed back their original if any link is clicked but this isn't necessary.
