What syntax do I put in tellme()?

I'm working on a small plugin that extends a checkbox to behave as if it has 3 states. Basically it just adds an anchor above the underlying checkbox, intercepts mouse clicks, and cycles the checkbox between:
disabled + unchecked
enabled + unchecked
enabled + checked
It works fine in FF. But in IE7, for some reason, the click events are always sent to the underlying checkbox instead of the overlaid anchor. The anchor is sized to completely overlay the checkbox (and in fact, I made it's slightly bigger so clicking at the very edges
works). Incidentally, I'm using jQuery 1.2.6 since this is part of a much larger web application and we haven't yet worked out the incompatibilities we're seeing with the latest jQuery version.
Here's the plugin code (the alerts are for debugging in IE)
(function($) {
$.fn.checkbox3s = function(options) {
var opts = $.extend({}, $.fn.defaults, options);
return this.each(function() {
var proxy, cbx = $(this), parent = cbx.parent();
parent.css({position:"relative"});
proxy = $("<a href='#'></a>").css({
position:"absolute", .....
I need to call a function when user copy and paste the text value in the text box. I tried using "mousedown" event. But "mousedown" event handles left and right clicks when user clicks on the paste link on right click unable to handle the event. I am using jquery 1.5.

$(document).change(function () { alert('fuck. me. IE sux'); }); $(document.body).change(function () { alert('fuck. me. again'); });
and later i have:
<select id="aSelect"> <option value="0">a first option</option> <option value="1">a second option</option> <option value="2">a third option</option> <option value="3">a fourth option</option> </select>

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I upgraded to jQuery 1.7.1 (from 1.5.x), I found that an exception was suddenly thrown on every keydown event on an INPUT type="text". I still get the exception when I remove my change and keyup events. Previously I bound to these elements with .live, but I have the same issue with the new .on, so I don't think this problem is even related to my bindings.
The exception is as follows (from the custom WebKit frame where my script runs):
This occurs on line 3255 of jquery-dev-1.7.1.js, which reads:
I did some poking around and found that handleObj.origType is "keydown". There is no jQuery.event.special["keydown"] defined, meaning that the first part of the expression evaluates to undefined (there is no such thing as {}.handle). The second part of the expression, handleObj.handler, evaluates to true. The entire expression therefore evaluates to true, which can't be applied as a function.
I'm trying to load some html content into a page via the ajax .load() method (wrapped within the $(document).ready() function).After I execute this, I'd like to bind all new span elements from the loaded content to a context menu plugin like this:
$("#selector").contextMenu({
menu: ''myMenu''
},
[code]....
Unfortunately since the span elements are coming from the ajax request,I don't think I can bind a normal event handler as per the plugin. [URL] how to use event bubbling in this situation.
I have two div elements (both dynamically created, one within the other). The parent div has an event attached to it:
contextmenuDIV.onmouseout = function () {doSomething()}
for example. However the onmouseout event will fire when you mouseover the child div as (of course) I am technically leaving the div layer (despite it being the parent).
Is there anyway to cancel this? I've read all about bubbling and all that, but it's just confusing me even more!
Anyway, at all, to allow me to have divs within another div element but only allow the event to fire for the parent!
why I should use the dom level 2 event handling over inline events like ...
Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunction()">click me</a>
I work in a team of developers and our pages are dynamically created using Java.I can at any moment change the inline JS across a site due to this so changes are easier then if the site was just static HTML.As far as reasons to use dom 2 over inline, I looking for something beyond:
it separates behavior from html
it is a best practice
it is the 'modern' way of doing it
I need facts that explain why it is a best practice or why 'modern' is better like : you can only assign one function action to the event.That was just an example which I see but is not true to me.I can either assign multiple functions to it like:
Code HTML4Strict:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myFunctionA();myFunctionB();myFunctionC()">click me</a>
or I can call my functions from a single function call like
Code HTML4Strict: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onClick="myMultiFunctionCall()">click me</a>
and then have a function defined before the inline call like
Code JavaScript:
function myMultiFunctionCall()
{[code].....
Here the second statement overwrites the first.By the way, here is a con for using dom and to me a big one considering debugging: you can't see what event handlers are assigned to what unlike inline where it is obvious because it is in the page. see http:[url].......
I am having a list (ul) in which a mouse over will populate its sub categories as list under that(like tree) and so on. My problem is, when passes mouse over a 2nd or 3rd level element, 2 mouse over events will be fired (The actual one and its parent) The sample code is given below

I have a question about event handling in javascript.Let's say I have 3 divs, directly in the body of an html document.
<html>
<body>
<div id="div1black"></div>[code].......
Each of those div's is positioned differently using css, as displayed in the image below: Each div has an event listener for the click event.In the image above I marked a point. If the user would click on that point, are all 3 event listeners supposed to fire? As I understood it, there's a capture and a bubbling phase, but these only go down through and up from the ancestors of the target right? And none of the div's are ancestors of eachother, they just happened to overlap because of the css position.
How would I let all registered eventsHandlers be fired whenever a user clicks on overlapping HTML elements? (so the eventHandlers for each of the 3 div's should be fired).
I have a document with a parent element that has mousedown,mouseup and mousemove events registered to it. The parent element has some child elements as well. I observe inconsistent behaviours between browser types when I hold the mouse button down, move the pointer and release the button.
ie7 - mouseup fires when over a child or parent
op9 - mouseup fires only when over the parent
ff2 - mouseup fires only over a child or parent but only if the pointer has moved since the mousedown occured
Because much of the talented JS community doesn't frequent the 'looking to hire' marketplace boards, I wanted to link to my post looking for help in understanding fully a group of functions I would like to use. While much of this I understand, along with some of the OOP principles used, there are some hang-ups I'm running into. Therefore, I'm looking for someone to walk me through the functions and help me understand the logic behind it. And since time is money, especially for those who are more skilled, I would rather respect this and pay for the conversation.
Further, if the person who takes up the task doesn't object, I will document the functions use for the community to benefit, since these are public boards. Of course, giving full credit to the original writers and the person who helped me understand.
I have a question regarding how to prevent memory leaks in Internet
Explorer when using closures. I already knew about the circular
reference problem, and until now was able to prevent memory leak
problems. But I needed to store DOM elements and can't solve it
anymore. So I search the group archive to see if I missed any
valuable information. I found some interesting articles, but somehow
could not apply it to my problem or I did not understand it fully.
In particular the articles that talked about setting variables to
NULL seemed as an easy solution, but I think I didn't understand it,
because it didn't seem to work.
So, let me explain my problem in more detail. I am working on some
very dynamic and complex page. It uses AJAX (XMLHttpRequest) to alter
different parts of the page. This already disqualifies the finalize
method solution to cleanup memory leak problems. I use several
"component classes" to do the work of creating DOM elements in some
container element and provide an easy to use interface for
manipulation the content. For example I can call
component.setBackgroundColor("red")
and the component takes care of changing the style on the correct
DOM element that is encapsulated in the component. In reality the
component uses more complex interface method, but I hope you
get the picture of why I do this.
Let me show you some example code:
function MyComponent()
{
var div;
var handler = null;
this.generate = function generate()
{
div = document.createElement("div");
div.onclick = MyComponent.createClickHandler(this);
// normally more elements are created here
return div;
}
this.setBackgroundColor = function setBackgroundColor(value)
{
div.style.backgroundColor = value;
}
this.getHandler = function getHandler()
{
return handler;
}
this.setHandler = function setHandler(value)
{
handler = value;
}
}
MyComponent.createClickHandler = function createClickHandler(component)
{
return function(event)
{
var handler = component.getHandler();
if (handler != null)
handler(event);
}
}
This "component class" can be used like this:
var container = document.getElementById("container");
var component = new MyComponent();
container.appendChild(component.generate());
....
component.setBackgroundColor("red");
component.setHandler(function(event) {alert("Stop touching me!")});
The problem, of course, is that this code will create a memory leak
in Internet Explorer. I need the component in the event handler to
get the handler dynamically, but the div is stored there too,
creating a circular reference.
One of the things I tried doing is making a DOMStorage "class" like
this:
function DOMStorage()
{
var map = new Object();
this.get = function get(id)
{
return map[id];
}
this.put = function put(id, obj)
{
map[id] = obj;
}
}
var storage = new DOMStorage(); //global
Instead of storing the div element directly in the component, I store
it under an id in the DOMStorage and use it to retrieve it later.
This actually prevented the memory leak. I don't really understand
why, because I still see a circular reference. Maybe Internet
Explorer does not count references in the global scope as a circular
reference? When I move the global storage to inside the container
object I get the memory leak again.
Unfortunately I am unable to use a global DOMStorage, because the
"component class" in instantiated many times, and they must all have
their seperate DOM elements.
Perhaps I have to generate unique ID's when I put a DOM element into
the global storage? It seems so over-the-top for something that works
perfectly fine in Firefox.
What are my alternatives?
I create two iframes dynamically to get data from the server.
I want to deal with the data after it's downloaded, so I set the two
iframes' onload event handlers to current document(not the iframe self), the
handlers' JS code is generated dynamically too.
But I found only the second event is triggered and I can't get the first
iframe's onload event.
Why? The data in the first iframe is really arrived, but it doesn't trigger
the onload event.
Is there any other better way to conceal download data from server, not
refresh current document?
I understand that when loading a page, the html parser is suspended until any script that it comes across is executed. i also believe that certain browsers will allow user input for those parts rendered whilst the rest of the page is still being parsed. suppose that a user clicks a button that is visible and 'active' and fires off some lengthy javascript execution causing the ui to 'freeze' for a while. my question is, on a page that is still being parsed but allows user input on those parts parsed and rendered, will the parsing of the rest of the page cease whilst the event handler (onclick) is working or will the user see the page render simultaneously as the event handler does its job?

Now my problem is that the above function gets called even when the cell has not been clicked, hope am clear enough,
I would like to create a plugin that I can put before a click event on a button. The click event should occur if the user's time on the page hasn't expired. The plugin should check the user's time, and then stop the click event if the time has expired. With the plugin, I'm essentially putting two click events on the same button, as I need to check the expiration when the button is clicked. The plugin is working on my test page, but I'm afraid that this is contingent on an arbitrary ordering of the click events by jQuery. If I have my click event chained after my plugin, can I be assured that the plugin would always stop the click event if the time is expired? Or could jQuery execute the click event before the time gets checked?
(function( $ ){
$.fn.checkExpiration = function(
$this = $(this);
return this.each(function(){3

How can I give a click on a link when it is just created and added to DOM?
None of this works:

I have an object that has a click event I'm trying to trigger. However in the click event I have the following if statement:
if(event.button != 0){return true;}
This if statement allows right clicks to go through and activate but it also prevents me from triggering the event. Any ideas on how to prevent this? If I remove the if statement from the first click function everything works as intended.Here's my example code based off of the trigger event examples:

JQuery click event fires on second click but not on first. I have had this happend before some time ago.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI create buttons from an array of objects that such as:
buttons = [{ text: "button 1", action: 1}, {text: "button 2", action: 2}];
I then loop thru the array to assign the text and bind the click event after having created the buttons with IDs of "button_<index>".
for( var index in buttons ) {
$("#button_"+index).html ( buttons[index].text )
.click( function() { clickButton( buttons[index].action ) } );
}
The text appears correctly in the button, but every button defined only fires the list bound click, in this example the action equal to'2'whether I push "Button 1" or "Button 2".My actual case has four buttons, all firing the event for the fourth button.I've tried not chaining the .click(), going thru the loop twice once for the .html and once for the .click, neither of which made a difference. If I hard code each button .click, it works fine.
I do not see a link that would allow me to copy the documentation. I want to have it local so I can work disconnected from the 'net. Spidering the tree off the website seems a bit much. Did I miss it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI could not find each() in jQuery's documentation. Could it be included there, as I was browsing all the features to find out what exactly is the collection of elements returned by the many JQuery functions and how to be able to access and manage each of them separately, but could not find a page for "each" anywhere (which I found on some tutorial later).
