I have nested markup like this Code HTML4Strict: <li><span></span></li> I have different click functions, one attached to the li and the other to the span.
When I click on the span they both run. Ending the span's event handler with return false; prevented that from happening, which is what I want. But I'm not sure I understand why it worked.. I know, for example, if I was clicking on an anchor, return false would stop the browsers default action of following the href value. Same for submitting a form, return false will stop this. I don't think I understand why this would stop a completely different function from being triggered..
I have been able to piece together some code for a stopwatch. I have everything the way I want it in regards to the function and look of the stopwatch, but I want to be able to set timers so that the ss() function in the code below will go and stop automatically at intervals I can set.
I'd like to show tree structures using collapsible multi-level nested <ul> lists (with open/closed "disclosure triangles" as list-style-images). Something like this:
Clicking on the text following <li> (or on the list-style-image) collapses/expands the rest of the content of that <li> (not shown here).
The problem is that each click bubbles up to the topmost list item. That is, a click on "Level 2" first executes the innermost <li> onclick handler, then the one for the next-outer-level <li> and so on. How can I make it so that only the handler for the <li> that's clicked is executed? (returning false from onclick didn't help in IE 6)
(I know I could wrap the text in <span>s and add the onclick handlers to those instead, but that's a bit ugly, and the list-style-image would be out of action).
Have an issue with using $.ajax for requests. If I set async: false it works fine, but sometimes gets cached content. If I add in cache: false then async doesn't work anymore, the next ajax request gets called before the first one finishes.
I'm using an image as my submit button. I want it to check to ensure all boxes have a value before submitting (I will make the verification more stringent later), and if there is none, to cancel the form submission. I created a readonly input box that changes from white to a visible color to use as a status indicator for now.It displays the correct status in either scenario, but return false doesn't seem to be stopping the page from loading. What function would do that?
My question is, what do I need to do to stop a browser from jumping to the top of the page when a user clicks on a link which has a jquery function attached to it?So for exampleUser clicks on a link called "Older Stories"Once they do that, jquery will load in some content AJAX styleHowever, browser has jumped to the top of the page and we have to scroll back down again to see the content which has just been loaded in.I've tried putting a return statement in my code but it didn't do anythingHere's my code
var content = $("#ajax_content"); $("#olderstories").click(function(){ showLoading();
what's the correct syntax to call 2 functions from an onclick attribute? the code below doesnt work, maybe im putting semi colons in the wrong place? since the second function needs the return false, im guessing i should put that one last since return false would stop anything after that from running.
I'm using this:onSubmit="searchFunction(); return false;"in my Form tag, and this:onClick="searchFunction(); return false;"in my submit tag. It works in IE but not in Chrome.When the page is reloaded (showing the results) the ''go back'' arrow (upper left corner) is not functioning. This is verry annoying becouse the form doesn't allow to go back (in history
Ok, so basically what I've got is a button which when clicked, "opens" a section of the page. I also need the button to "jump" to this section of the page, because it's below the current content and won't be visible. What I've got so far is ...
Javascript <script language="javascript"> function toggle() { var ele = document.getElementById("toggleText"); var text = document.getElementById("displayText"); if(ele.style.display == "block") { [Code]....
If I put two separate buttons, both functions will work. Basically I need them to be on the same function, not sure how to do that?
I am try to make a form that appears to be multi page. I am trying to use a button to hide one div and display another at the same time my script is
head <script language=javascript type='text/javascript'> function hidediv(pass) { var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++){
The context: I am trying to fire a Google Analytics Tracking Code, and a Website Optimiser Conversion Script on an Onclick, one after another, before following an external link. It's on an image button. It must work for JS disabled. The Problem: The first one was that the newest browsers were executing the external link before the tags were firing. I added return false; to stop this which it did. This however ignited an old problem I had - being the two scripts just would not fire one after another. The Code:
This button changes the button text when clicked, but it is always calling the same function. How to make the button depending on the button text to call different functions on onclick?
[CODE] <script type = "text/javascript"> function button_switch(){
I'm really struggling at the moment calling these two functions. The one function checks that all the fields are filled in and the other to validate the date in a certain format. The function that checks all the fields works but when I try to call the second one it stops working.ere's the code:
I m trying to make a person stay on same page on cancel, but the confirm takes the user to the next page like they press ok. how can i stop it? code...
I have two grids, they both display buttons. One grid displays numbers, true or false and yes or no, and the other grid displays letters, true, false, yes and no.
The second grid is not displayed in the code (used css to not display second grid buttons (.answerBtns)) Now using the getButtons() function, if the user selects button "1" in first grid (the grid which you have to open using (Open Grid) link, then it should display button "A" in second grid, if user selects button "2" in first grid, then it should displays buttons "A" and "B" in second grid, if "3" then display "A", "B" and "C" and so on.
Now except using if statements and stating which buttons should be displayed and not displayed depending on the button chosen in first grid, is there a more efficent way of coding this so that the display of buttons in second grid depends on what is selected in the first grid?
If it is using an array can somebody show a sample of this in their answer. You can just do it for one example and then I should be able to use that to fill it for the other buttons.
I have written a number of functions designed to return frequency data on 1000 randomly chosen numbers using different math functions for the rounding. I would like to include all of these functions within the wrapper of another function so that only one call is needed to get returns from all of the 'inner' functions. However, while each of the functions works in isolation, the moment I wrap them in another function they stop working. :confused:
The following code is one of the functions 'frequencyWrapperOne' that has been wrapped in the function 'testWrapper'. A call to testWrapper does nothing.
function testWrapper() { function frequencyWrapperOne() {
Do you have to use the onClick attrib to have return false work?
i.e. is it possible to do <a href="javascript:somefunct();return false;"> and have the page not reload with 'false' or the browser not complain about illegal use?
