Javascript Event Handling And Page Load

Nov 13, 2007

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?

JQuery :: Event Handling DOM Elements After Ajax .load() - Cannot Bind Selector To ContextMenu Plugin

Nov 11, 2011

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.

Event Handling And Nested Div

Jan 20, 2008

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!

Inline Vs Dom Event Handling?

Jan 11, 2009

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].......

Event Handling :: EventHandlers For Each Of The 3 Div's Should Be Fired?

Apr 14, 2011

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).

Cross Browser Event Handling

Feb 28, 2007

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

Event Handling Function Walk Through

Jan 24, 2009

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.

Event Handling, DOM, Closures And Memory Leaks

Oct 18, 2006

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?

Problem On Handling Two Iframes' Onload Event

Jul 20, 2005

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?

JQuery :: Handling Window.change Event In IE

Jan 8, 2010

i'm trying to do some event delegation, and i can't seem to get the onchange event working in IE. i've tried:

$(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>

but this doesn't work in IE. i've also tried to wire these up manually: document.body.onchange = function (e) { alert('foo); }; and document.onchange, but those don't work either. what's the story here (other than the fact that IE is sucking balls)?

JQuery :: IE Click Event Handling In 3 States

Aug 4, 2009

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", .....

Trigger An Onchange Event On Page Load?

Jan 25, 2011

I have this onchange event that occurs after user selection of a dropdown menu. When a user makes a selection it queries the database and delivers some data.

The value of the dropdown is stored in a database, but the problem is when the page is refreshed the delivered data disapears, only reappearing if you change the dropdown.

How can I make the onchange event run when the page loads so that if there is already a selection, the database data will always be there, only to change if the user changes the selection?

Here is the JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showCustomer(str)
{var xmlhttp;

Handling JavaScript Across 2 Domains

Jan 9, 2003

I am working on this web site with some of the pages at a different domain name. It is actually one web site, but some of the pages are at a different domain name (different root, too) although the IP address is the same.

Basically, there is one main window, and a pop-up window. They need to "talk" to each other - mainly access properties to see what page they are on.

As, the web site is on two domain names, there is a security problem when the pop-up window tries to read properties in the main window, or vice versa.

Is there anyway to share information between the two? Or is it hopeless?

Safari Not Sending Requests During The Onclick Event Due To New Page Load?

Jul 7, 2010

I have a site which displays a selection of advert listings. We log the number of clicks each advert receives via ajax requests.The listings link to both internal pages on our site and external pages, hence the ajax - we cannot log the'clicks' by logging the requests on the destination pages as these are not all on our site for us to log. Also, I don't want to potentially get false positives e.g.from bookmarked pages - hence I am logging the actual clicks, not the requests on the destination.

All is OK in most browsers, but there is a problem with Safari (I am running Safari 4.0 on Windows XP running in Virtualbox OSE) but only where the destination is to open in the same window/tab (some listings go to a new window, some don't). I am logging clicks via an ajax request in the onclick event, which is working fine when the listing is to open in a new window, but it appears that when a new window is not to be opened, the ajax never gets sent.A have constructed the following minimal test case:

index.html

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" [code].....

Note the line commented '****' in index.html which cancels the action of the link. When this is not commented out, the ajax request is sent correctly. Without it (the desired situation) the ajax request never gets sent. Its as if Safari saves up the ajax requests to do later, but never sends them as the new page cancels all such 'saved up' actions.I am using the Safari web developer tools, but I have also checked this test case by checking the Apache logs. Note that as a test case I don't pretend that it will work in IE, but it should work in standards compliant browsers and has been tested on Firefox 3.6.6 and Opera 10.6. The Apache logs show that logger.txt is being requested, unless it is already in the browser cache.Possible workarounds I've considered, but would prefer to avoid:

On the site in question the only such links that currently open in the same window are internal, so I do have the option of logging safari clicks by logging these requests as opposed to clicks and checking the http referer on the server side. As this is not a very flexible solution as it relies on these specific circumstances, also relies on all other links successfully making a new window, and furthermore relying on http referer could result in false negatives I'd rather find a solution within the javascript.I haven't checked whether an asynchonous request would work, but I don't wish to do this anyway just in case there is ever a server problem that prevents the response coming back (note that for these purposes the response is actually superfluous - we are sending the server a message but don't need anything back). I also want to avoid the delay in sending the user to the destination - there is no point having to wait for a response we don't need.Lastly, and my prefered workaround unless I can find anything better, is to make Safari (only) open all links in a new window anyway.
