Adding Event Listener As Attribute Breaks?

Nov 21, 2011

I am testing some code that finds and element and attempts to add an event handler attribute to it as 'onclick' (test case in Firefox 3.5.9)

/*
The actual code is:
window.onload = function()
{
//<irrelevant code>
var test = document.getElementById('tstEl');

[Code]...

I am trying to do this because Element.addEventListener or Element.attachEvent won't allow for arguments to be passed to the event handler code/function. What is going on here? The only line referenced, line35, in the document text containing javascript code is irrelevant to the problem.

Adding Window Event Listener In Loop?

Sep 19, 2011

I am trying to add a window event listener on some links in a loop instead of doing them one by one. I've tried

function setListeners (){
for (var i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++) {
src=document.links[i].href;
document.links[i].onmousemove=changeIframeSrc(src, 'solid',1, event);
document.links[i].onmouseout=changeIframeSrc(null,'none',0,event);

Adding Event Listener To HTML Span Tag?

Aug 18, 2010

I'm not new to JS, or the web and it's various other technologies, but I ran into a problem. I'm trying to add an event handler for a click on all HTML span tags. Trouble is, getElementByTags() doesn't work and neither does getElementByTagNames(). Strangely, adding an id to the span tags and getting their id's do trigger the handler.

Code:
document.getElementsByTagName('span').addEventListener('click',doSomething,false);
function doSomething() {
alert(this);

JQuery :: Setting 'class' Attribute In Bulk Attribute Syntax Without Quotes Breaks IE/Opera?

Jan 20, 2010

i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...

$("<div/>",{
id: 'tooltip-'+rand,
class: 'dock-tooltip',

[code]....

I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....

JQuery :: Adding A "stop" To A "mouseout" Event But Breaks The Setup And Nothing Fades In When Hovering

Mar 1, 2011

I threw together my own piece of basic jQuery code to have a fadeIn and a fadeOut when I'm hovering a list item, this all works wonderfully apart from one small detail. When I rapidly move over the list item a couple of times in a row, the events start queueing up and the fades keep happening until the queue is done. How do I prevent this from happening? I tried adding a "stop" to a "mouseout" event, but that breaks the setup and nothing fades in when hovering.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('li.headlink').hover(function(){
$('ul', this).fadeIn("slow");
}, function(){
$('ul', this).fadeOut("slow");
});
});
</script>

Additionally, it would be neat to have the fadeIn stop when the mouse moves out of the list item before the animation is done, and then go straight through a fadeOut from where the fadeIn stopped (so if the fadeIn was at 60% or so, the fadeOut kicks in and starts from 60% to 0%, instead of 100% to 0%). But this isn't important, just a nice extra feature.

Having Trouble With Event Listener: Detect Iframe Close Event Fromparent

Apr 3, 2007

I have an iframe that includes a button:
<input type="button" value="close this window" onclick="window.close();" >

I would like to detect the iframe close event from the parent window, I
was using this code but I did something wrong because the temp function
is fired every time the parent page loads:

function temp(){
alert('the iframe was closed');
}
function setup(){
var myIFrame = document.getElementById("iframe1");
if (myIFrame.addEventListener) {
myIFrame.addEventListener('onclose', temp(), false);
}else if (myIFrame.attachEvent) {
myIFrame.attachEvent ('onclose',temp);
}else{
myIFrame.onclose=temp();
}
}
window.onload=setup;

This is my code and for whatever reason that I just don't get (coz I'm a bit confused by all this stuff), clicking cancel when the confirm message appears seems to return true regardless. Code:

Adding Googlemaps Breaks Tab Opening?

Aug 22, 2009

For years I have been using external_link.js, a file that I found at sitepoint, in one of Kevin Yank's articles I believe, to open new pages in a new tab when a link contained rel="external"

I just added the googlemaps api to a site to display maps, and none of the old menu links open in new tabs anymore! Has anyone else had this problem or have any idea why it has happened? Same function name in both javascripts?

How To Create An Event Listener?

Jan 5, 2007

How do I add an event listener to a few text boxes that prevents the user from typing anything but digits. I use the numbers entered in the text boxes in calculations afterwards so I don't want the user to enter "one" instead of "1" etc... Also, the range of possible numbers is too big for a drop down menu.

Add Event Listener - Not Working In IE6

Mar 22, 2007

I'm writing a custom script to collect attributes from links and concatenate them to pass as a string to another function. I'm using a readily-available 'addListener' function so the click event doesn't overwrite others on the page. All this seems to be working in all browsers except IE6, and I suspect it may have something to do with event bubbling. Can anyone see my errors and any other ways I could improve the script? Code:

Can't Get Event Listener To Work

Sep 4, 2010

I'm trying to use the addEventListener function to set an event listener but I don't understand why it won't work. Before i was using another method to handle events, but I needed more control over which event handlers get run and when.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function runMe(){

[Code]....

I'm using Google Chrome, but it won't work in Firefox either. Obviously it won't work in IE, since IE doesn't support that method. The script gives no errors at all. The runMe() function does get executed, I tested this with alerts.

Object Method As Event Listener

Oct 16, 2006

I want each instance of an object to be able to listen for input events.
When the event occurs, a method of the object should be called, such
that "this" is in scope and refers to the object instance.

Is this possible? Example:

function MyConstructor(element)
{
//element is some HTML element
this.addListeners(element);

this.foo = "Bar";

return this;
}

MyConstructor.prototype.addListeners = function(element)
{
element.addEventListener("keypress", this.doSomething, true);
}

MyConstructor.prototype.doSomething = function(e)
{

alert(this.foo.length); //Error: this.foo has no properties

alert(this);
//shows the HTML element that triggered the event
}

Is there any way to get "this" to refer to the object in the event listener?

Dynamically Add (OnKeyDown) Event Listener

May 9, 2011

I have a form with many, many, many 'input type="text"' elements in it. I'd like to be able to dynamically add an 'onKeyDown' event listener. Here's what I've got, so far (I know it's wrong.)

Code:
function addEventToElement(formName,tagName,typeName,eventName,eventAction) {
thisForm = (typeof formName == 'string') ? document.getElementById(formName) : '' ;
thisTag = (typeof tagName == 'string') ? tagName : '' ;
thisType = (typeof typeName == 'string') ? typeName : '' ;
thisEvent = (typeof eventName == 'string') ? eventName : '' ;
thisAction = (typeof eventAction == 'string') ? eventAction : '' ;
if(thisForm != "") { // If elements are in a form, make sure ONLY those elements are affected
elem = new Array(); elem = thisForm.getElementsByTagName(thisTag); // array of all items of [tag]
alert(elem.length);
if(thisType != "") {
for(j=0;j<elem.length;j++) {
if(elem[j].type != thisType) { elem.splice(j,1); } // If a type is specified, remove tags that do not have a type attribute
}
}
}
else { // Otherwise, any/all elements in a document/body will be affected
elem = new Array(); elem = document.getElementsByTagName(thisTag); // array of all items of [tag]
if(thisType != "") {
for(j=0;j<elem.length;j++) {
if(elem[j].type != thisType) { elem.splice(j,1); } // If a type is specified, remove tags that do not have a type attribute
}
}
}
if((thisEvent != "") && (thisAction != "")) {
for(i=0;i<elem.length;i++) { // All elements are picked - let's apply some attributes
document.getElementById(elem[i].id).addEventListener(thisEvent,thisAction,false)
}
}
}

HTML Code:
addEventToElement('form_name','input','text','keydown','return numbersOnly(event,this);');

Event Listener - Check And Activate Function?

Jun 28, 2010

Event Listener. From what I understand it will check all events until a defined event happens, such as rollover of a certain image, and then it activates a function? What I want to do is use this so that when I rollover a element such as below:
<img src="img url" alt="this is a tooltip" tooltip="true" />
I want it to pass the obj to a function which then runs, and then once the mouse of not over that element it will activate another function passing the previous object to this function.

Although an element such as the example below would not activate these functions:
<img src="img url" alt="this is a tooltip"/>
As the tooltip tag does not exist or has the value of false. Also, wouldn't this use a lot of resources as it checks every event which the mouse passes over?

JQuery :: Event Listener Doesn't Listen After Having Used $.post?

I've got an Event Listener

$(".SFV").click(function(event) ...

And I've got an submit button

< ... type="submit" class="SFV">

When this button is displayed in a normal html-script, the event listener works. When I insert this button into the same script with the help of

$.post("do/setFieldVal_Input.php", {table:table, whereFieldName:whereFieldName, whereVal:whereVal, setFieldName:setFieldName, idHtml:idHtml}, function(data)
{

[code]....

then the listener does not work anymore.

Event Listener For Browser Font Size Change

Aug 20, 2006

The problem:

I have an XHTML STRICT page which has some event listeners attached for onload and resize. I'm doing a bit of Javascript DHTML on these events. When a user changes the browser font size, the javascipt function needs to run. Although the TOPMENU DIV gets resized when the font changes size, its not a page resize so the function doesn't get run. I fixed this in IE6 by using a second function which is run onload and sets an event on the div object in the page after its been defined.

Problem is this doesn't work in Firefox.

Mozilla DOM reference says there is no resize event on a DIV so is there a work around to make it work in FIREFOX? i.e. can I force a resize event to happen on a div in firefox or is there some other event I can trap when a user changes the browser font size?

here's my js code: topmenu is what I'm trying to trap the resize event from.

this code is loaded in the head of the page.

function maindiv(){
estartup=document.getElementById("startup");
econtain=document.getElementById("contain");
emain=document.getElementById("main");
etopmenu=document.getElementById("topmenu");
emaincontent=document.getElementById("maincontent");
nopx = document.childNodes ? 'px' : 0;
contw = document.body.clientWidth - 80;
conth = document.body.clientHeight - 80;
if (contw < 0) { contw = 0;}
if (conth < 0) { conth = 0;}
econtain.style.width = contw+nopx;
econtain.style.height = conth+nopx;
if (conth >= 100 + etopmenu.clientHeight) {
emain.style.height = (conth - etopmenu.clientHeight - 100 )+nopx;
}
if (contw >= 172) {
emaincontent.style.width = (contw - 172 )+nopx;
}
estartup.style.visibility = 'hidden'
}


function fsize() {
etm=document.getElementById("topmenu");
if (typeof window.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
etm.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof document.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
etm.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof window.attachEvent != 'undefined')
{
etm.attachEvent("onresize", maindiv);}
else
{
window.alert('Failed to attach an Event Listener

Please Report');
}
}

if (typeof window.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
window.addEventListener("load", maindiv, false);
window.addEventListener("load", fsize, false);
window.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof document.addEventListener != 'undefined')
{
document.addEventListener("load", maindiv, false);
document.addEventListener("load", fsize, false);
document.addEventListener("resize", maindiv, false);
}
else if (typeof window.attachEvent != 'undefined')
{
window.attachEvent("onload", maindiv);
window.attachEvent("onload", fsize);
window.attachEvent("onresize", maindiv);
}
else
{
window.alert('Failed to attach an Event Listener

Please Report');
}

Any clues?

Adding An Attribute To The Body Tag?

Mar 20, 2010

I am trying to add and attribute to the body tag using javascript. I have two questions if anyone could help me real fast that would be great. This is what I have thus far...

Code:
var timer="";
document.getElementsByTagName("body"){
document.write(str.replace("body", "body onLoad="setTimeout('grabber()', 5000)'))
}

1) This does not work, where is the coding wrong? I would be nice to know what I did wrong here so that in the future I will know how to do it right.

2) Also is there a way that I can add the onLoad with out replacing the whole tag? If I replace it then I will loose all other attributes that might be in the tag too.
