I have two functions on buttons onclick, they work but if the first
fails the second still runs. How can I prevent this? Simplified Code
below.
Function Function1 () {
if (something) {
return false
}
Function Function2 () {
if (something) {
return false
}
onclick="Function1(); Function2()"
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..
Why do we place 'return false;' at the end of jquery functions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to implement:
<a href=123 onclick="javascript:return false">123</a>
in DOM,
I have:
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.setAttribute('href', 123);
link.setAttribute('onclick', 'function() { return false; }');
but it doesn't work. The reason I want a href and onclick = false is because I want to drag and drop the 123.

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:
<ul>
<li onclick="alert('Level 1 clicked');">Level 1
<ul>
<li onclick="alert('Level 2 clicked');">Level 2
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
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 thought the return false would prevent this but the page scrolls up a bit. What's wrong?
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(){

Normally, a piece of code such as
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onclick="alert('hello');return
false;">link</a>
will stop the browser from actually going to href's destination.
However, this is not the case with the IE7 I am using. What has
changed?
IE7 version: 7.0.5730.11. Update versions: 0
Has anyone bumped into this problem before? How do I get around it?
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.
Code:
<a onclick='return confirm("are you sure?"); some_function(param1, param2 ); return false;'>test</a>
am i on the right track?
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 ...

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:

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()

i.e. is it possible to do

and have the page not reload with 'false' or the browser not complain about
illegal use?
