Evaluation Context Of Event Handler String

Jul 20, 2005

What is the evaluation context of the setTimeout args below? I have a separate Timer instance for each sprite in my program. As coded, "this.Clock" doesn't work.

/*================================================= ===
Timer.js
================================================== ==*/

function Timer(_sprite, _interval) {
var sprite = _sprite;
var interval = _interval;
var isRunning = false;
var timeoutID = false;


this.Clock = function() { // called after setTimout interval
if (isRunning) {
isRunning = sprite.OnClockTick();
if (isRunning)
timeoutID = window.setTimeout("this.Clock()", interval);
else
this.Stop();
}
}


this.Stop = function() {
if (timeoutID) {
window.clearTimeout(timeoutID);
timeoutID = false;
};
isRunning = false;
}


this.SetInterval = function(_interval) {
this.Stop();
interval = _interval;
isRunning = true;
timeoutID = window.setTimeout("this.Clock()",interval);
}


this.Continue = function() {
if (!isRunning) {
isRunning = true;
timeoutID = window.setTimeout("this.Clock()",interval);
}
}
}

JQuery :: Context Lost When Using $.post Inside A Delegated Event Handler?

Jun 26, 2010

I have some code that's a more involved version of this:

$('#container_div').delegate('.trigger_button', 'click', function() {
$.post('handler.php',
{ id: $(this).siblings('.item_id').val() },
function(data) {

[Code].....

Normally, when I use .post in an event handler, "this" refers to the object that triggered the event. That doesn't happen in this case. When I use "this" the first time, to pull data parameters, it refers to the .trigger_button. But inside the .post callback, it refers to the AJAX call object instead. I don't think that's how it's supposed to work, is it? Is this a bug?

JQuery :: Adding An Event Handler To A String From A $.post Reponse?

Dec 6, 2011

I have a basic HTML form with a button that submits the form via jQuery's $.post to a processor. That processor returns the identical form, including any errors below any of the elements e.g. input, textarea, etc. The response also has a new submit button to submit the form once more, however, because I'm retrieving a giant string with HTML elements and because jQuery already loaded, that new submit button doesn't do anything. How can I parse jQuery's response for that button and assign a handler so that when the button is pushed, it submits the form again?

JavaScript Event.keyCode Evaluation (Firefox Safe!)

Sep 7, 2005

Here is an answer for those who are looking for a keystroke evaluation
script that works in Internet Explorer (IE 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 for PC--IE
4.0, 5.2 for Mac), Mozilla Firefox (Windows, Linux, and Apple
Macintosh), Safari, Opera, and other off-brand web browsers.

I have gone through many groups trying to find code that didn't break
in Firefox--yet still worked in other browsers. Although many people
give input on this topic, few are correct in their handling of the
events to give the correct results across the board.

I am a Webmaster, and although I have worked with much JavaScript, I do
not claim to be an expert on this topic--so feel free to post any
improvements that you can make.

Here's the test code, this snippet designed to force numeric-only input
in any browser, with the exception of a couple keys that are still
needed for form navigation (such as Tab--although this can be tailored
to your needs by adding more exceptions):

---SNIP_01---
<script language="JavaScript">
function CheckNumericKeyInfo($char, $mozChar) {
if($mozChar != null) {// Look for a Mozilla-compatible browser
if(($mozChar >= 48 && $mozChar <= 57) || $mozChar == 0 || $char ==
8 || $mozChar == 13) $RetVal = true;
else {
$RetVal = false;
alert('Please enter a numeric value.');
}
}
else {// Must be an IE-compatible Browser
if(($char >= 48 && $char <= 57) || $char == 13) $RetVal = true;
else {
$RetVal = false;
alert('Please enter a numeric value.');
}
}
return $RetVal;
}
</script>
---END_01---

This function would then be called as follows:

---SNIP_02---
<input type="text" name="over_figure" id="over_figure" size="5"
onKeyPress="return CheckNumericKeyInfo(event.keyCode, event.which);"
value="">
---END_02---

I have personally tested this on PC, Mac, and Linux systems in every
Web browser that I can get my hands on. It's far easier than the other
scripts that I've found, and you can just add "alert('keyCode: ' +
$char)" to find any other keycodes you might want to allow if you don't
know them off-hand. Obviously there is room to add a larger exception
list if you have need of it, and it might be better to just set $RetVal
to TRUE in the else and add an else if for IE, but my use didn't
require it.

I hope it saves someone some time!

Event Handlers, OO And Function Context

Sep 11, 2007

I am writing a javascript code that parses dom and finds event
handlers attached to mouseover events. Then i will replace the
existing handler say B() with my own function say A(). When the event
happen and control comes to my function A(), after doing required
processing i will call B() as shown below

<a href = "abc.com" mouseover = "B();"link </a>

while parsing i will have (trimmed down version)

var oldHandler = node.onmouseover;
node.

function A()
{
/ * my code */
oldHandler.call(this);
}

This was working fine as long as B() was a global function. I started
getting problems when B was a member function. For eg:

function Alerter(text)
{
this.text=text;
var me=this;
this.invoke=function ()
{
alert(this.text);
}
}
var sayHi = new Alerter('Hello, world!');

The web developer would have code like
<a href = "abc.com" mouseover = "sayHi.invoke()"link </a>

But this time around, my function A() fails since although i have
handler to sayHi.invoke(), it has to be executed in correct context.
Other wise "this.text" is giving me error because when i say
oldHandler.call(this), i am executing the sayHi.invoke() with the html
element being passed as this.

Dynamically Setting Query String With <select> Onclick() Handler

Jul 23, 2005

I need to pass the selected option of a <select> tag into a query
string, so that the page is reloaded with the selected option already
chosen. This will occur with the onclick() event hander, and the query
string will be processed using a server-side technology. I'm just not
sure how to word the "onclick" handler. Here's what I have:

<select id="StartMonth" name="StartMonth" onchange="location.href =
'thispage.cfm?StartMonth=_______'">

What is the correct wording to set the underlined portion to whatever
was selected? I know it has to be done with JavaScript, since the
decision is made on the client-side.

One Event Handler Provoking Another

Jul 23, 2005

I'm seeing surprising behavior, consistent across Opera, Firefox, and IE.
An event handler is changing the value of an element, and there is apparently
no Change event being generated for the element. A simple illustration is,
make an INPUT element with an onchange; type in a new value, the Change
event handler is called. But make a button whose Click handler changes the
value, and the Change handler does not get called.

It appears that events are not generated while an event handler is running.
Can this be true?

Event Handler For Enter Key

Aug 11, 2005

How can I interrupt the enter key so it won't trigger unwanted events on my
web page? I have tried this:

var defaultEventHandler = obj.getEvent("onkeydown");

var myEventHandler = function(event){
if(event.keyCode==13){
alert(obj.getProperty("selection/index"));
}
else{
defaultEventHandler.call(this, event);
}
}
obj.setEvent("onkeydown", myEventHandler);

But it won't even enter the function.

Add A New Function To An Event Handler

Jan 12, 2006

I try to add a function to be triggered also within an event (which already has a function). I coded it, unfortunatelly one line of the code should be different for IE and Moz. I try to find a common way without using a browser detector... Any ideea? The red line works for Mozilla, the blue one for IE:

function addFunc(){
var e = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i=0;i<e.length;i++){
if(e[i].getAttribute('onclick')||e[i].getAttribute('onclick')!=null){// Moz || IE
//var f = new Function(e[i].getAttribute('onclick'));
var f = e[i].getAttribute('onclick');
e[i].onclick=function(){f();otherFunction()}
}}} Code:

Event Handler Not Called / Fix It?

Jan 11, 2010

I modified a particular page in the following way:

I ran an init function on window.onload, which iterated thorugh the checkboxes on the page and assigned an event handler function - let's call it validate() to each checkbox.

I tested it in the big 5 browsers and ran into a strange issue in I.E. only -

let's say there are the following checkboxes code...

When I click on "box1" the function is not called. When check "box2" the function is called but by "box1", when I click on "box3" the function is called by "box2" and so forth...

JQuery :: Event Handler On Drop Down Box?

Sep 17, 2010

I'm creating a drop down menu so that when a user clicks on the drop down arrow and then hovers over one of the options, a bubble comes up and does a validation. The thing is that everything works fine in Firefox, but not in IE or Chrome. The problem is that the .mouseover() function doesn't work on the <option> tags in IE and Chrome, but it works fine in Firefox because apparently FF is the only browser that supports it.

Minor Event Handler Irritation?

May 8, 2011

I have a form with a text box. As you know, if a user has previously entered data into that text box from the same machine, then a dropdown list appears in the browser showing previously entered values. That's fine; however I have an OnKeyUp event on this box so if a user selects from the dropdown list then the event isn't triggered. Is there any way to recognise this action as an event? None of the normal event handlers appear to do it.

Onclick Event Handler Not Running When Run Twice

Mar 25, 2011

i have registered a validation function as the onclick event handler. It runs for the first time but does not run when i click on the button the second time. ( this is because i have put an aert box in the validation function and it does not show up when i click on the submit button for the second time)

here is the code

Code:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" action="submit.php " onClick="return validate('add_item_form');">

Code:

function validate(form_name){
validate=1;
string="";

[Code]....

when i leave all the fields of the form blank then the error message is displayed. But when i click on the submit button again then the validation function does not run.

Event Handler On Link With Bind?

Feb 19, 2010

I am working on a project that takes links on a page (Not all, depends on if they are Merchandise links or partner links), and passes some parameters to a tracking js call.The problem is, I don't want to put 'onclicks" on every href as there could be a hundred on a page and many of the links are dynamically generated on the backend.So, I was thinking of creating a function that took in parameters from each of the links that are pressed. we have two links (there will be many more, but for an example sake).

<a href="somelink.html" id="linka">link a</a>
<javascript>
var cu = new Linktracker({

[code]...

Should I use just "bind" or "bindAsEventListener"?Since each link on the page is unique and will pass different values, what is the best way to do this without putting "onclicks" on every link?

Pass Arguments To Event Handler?

Jun 19, 2009

I'm use prototype quite a lot for ajax calls, but have always used inline onclicks. I'm trying to be less obtrusive by creating event handlers/listeners.I used to do this with the aid of pHp to place arguments into the function (usually via 'while loop'):

<li><a href="#" onclick="dofunction(arg1,arg2);">item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="dofunction(arg1,arg2);">item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="dofunction(arg1,arg2);">item 3</a></li>

Event Reference In Handler Functions

Feb 23, 2007

As far as readability and consistency, which is better in your opinion (or if functional difference, that I didn't account for,)

Event.observe($('txtName'), 'keypress', handleKeyPress);
Choose one:
A.
Code:
function handleKeyPress(event) {
alert(event.keyCode);
}
B.
Code:
function handleKeyPress(evt) {
evt = evt || window.event;
alert(evt.keyCode);
}
C.
Code:
function handleKeyPress(evt) {
evt = evt ? evt : window.event;
alert(evt.keyCode);
}
