I want to be able to click on a div, but not in the area of another div inside a div inside the outer div.
I tried to select my other div without the inner div using :not() in the selector, but it didn't work.
<div class=outer>
<div class=inner1>
<div class=inner2>
<div class=notClickable>
<div class=alsoNotClickable>
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
$("div.outer:not(div.notClickable)").click(function(){
...
});
I expect that I can click inside div class=outer, but not inside div class=notClickable and its childs.
One option is adding stopPropagation() on the non clickable divs.
The stopPropagation() method of the Event interface prevents further
propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases.
$("div.outer").click(function() {
console.log("click");
});
$("div.notClickable").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$("div.alsoNotClickable").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
.outer {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background-color: green;
}
.notClickable {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
.alsoNotClickable {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: pink;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class=outer>
<div class=inner1>
<div class=inner2>
<div class=notClickable>
<div class=alsoNotClickable>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
To achieve this you can check the target property of the event. If it matches the element you hooked the event to then you know that the event has not bubbled up from a child. Try this:
$("div.outer").click(function(e) {
if ($(e.target).is('div.outer')) {
console.log('You clicked the outer div');
} else {
console.log('You clicked a child div');
}
});
div.outer,
div.outer div {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="outer">
Outer
<div class="inner1">
Child
<div class="inner2">
Child
<div class="notClickable">
Child
<div class="alsoNotClickable">
Child
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I think you can stop the propagation by adding this line to your function:
event.stopPropagation();
Eg:
$("div.outer:not(div.notClickable)").click(function(event) {
...
event.stopPropagation();
});
Please check this fiddle where i use the click function. Let me know if that would fits you :)
Assign an ID to the div you want to select. Then select the ID.

I have the following nested addEventListener to keep track of the dragged element and the element i am dragging to.
var objects = document.querySelector('.objects');
var destination = document.querySelector('.dest');
objects.addEventListener('dragstart', function(e) {
console.log("dragstart")
destination.addEventListener('dragover', function(e2) { e2.preventDefault(); });
destination.addEventListener('drop', function(e2) {
console.log("drop")
console.log(e.target);
console.log(e2.target);
})
})
<style>
div >div {
margin: 50px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: green;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="objects">
<div draggable='true' id='o1'>A</div>
</div>
<div class="dest">
<div id='D1' >1</div>
</div>
</body>
The first time i am drag and dropping everything seems as i expected, but when i drag and drop a second time, the addEventListener for drop is executed twice, and the third time, three times. Why is that so?
If i only console.log the drag and drop strings, this behavior of doubling and trippling does't show up. What happens with the events e and e2?
You can use removeEventListener to remove the earlier events that were added so that it doesn't get re-added every time it's dragged, in order to do that you just have to store the function separately though
var objects = document.querySelector('.objects');
var destination = document.querySelector('.dest');
function dragFnc(e2) {
e2.preventDefault();
}
function dropt(e2) {
console.log("drop")
console.log(e2.target);
e2.target.removeEventListener("dragover",dropt)
e2.target.removeEventListener("drop",dragFnc)
}
objects.addEventListener('dragstart', function(e) {
console.log("dragstart")
destination.addEventListener('dragover', dragFnc);
destination.addEventListener('drop', dropt)
})
<style>
div >div {
margin: 50px;

}

<body>
<div class="objects">

<div class="dest">

I have a game where there are balloons and each balloon has an onclick attribute which passes the id into a JS function to change the css.
Example:
<div id="balloon" class="container" onclick="popBalloon(this.id);"></div>
clicking this item will call the function below
function popBalloon(id){
document.getElementById(id).setAttribute("class","pop");
}
Problem is that I have multiples balloons of the same type, and instead of using a unique id for each one, I would like a way to determine the specific balloon being clicked using the same attribute names.
Is this possible?
If you pass event as the function parameter, you can use event.target to get the clicked Element
function popBalloon (event) {
event.target.setAttribute("class", "pop");
}
div {
margin-top: 10px;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.container {
background-color: red;
}
.pop {
background-color: blue;
}
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(event);"></div>
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(event);"></div>
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(event);"></div>
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(event);"></div>
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(event);"></div>
Most of current answers suggest a function that defines click listener to a group of elements however you asked how to omit unique IDs where there are too many elements in a game. The simple answer is to pass OBJECT instead of ID to the function:
<div class="container" onclick="popBalloon(this);"></div>
and in the function:
function popBalloon(myobj){
myobj.setAttribute("class","pop");
}
Thats all.
Instead of manually entering the function signature in each balloon entry, handle it all in the javascript below. Throw all those balloons into a list. As Scott Hunter suggested, place each balloon in a class. Let's call it "balloon". Then add an event listener to each of those balloons. Here's a quick demo.
var balloonArray = document.querySelectorAll(".balloon");
balloonArray.forEach(function(item) {
item.addEventListener('click', function() {
item.innerText = "Clicked";
});
});
.container {
color: white;
height: 80px;
margin: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="container balloon" style="background-color: blue">Click me</div>
<div class="container balloon" style="background-color: red">Click me</div>
<div class="container balloon" style="background-color: green">Click me</div>
A good way to do it is add some class to all the balloons. Let's modify your code a bit
<div class="balloon"></div>
<div class="balloon"></div>
<div class="balloon"></div>
I have 3 of those divs with a class of balloon here. For the js we can do
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".balloon")).forEach(balloon=>{
balloon.addEventListener('click',()=>{
//On click event here
});
});
Here's how you add a click event to each of the balloon.
I have a set of div elements inside a container, .div-to-hide is displayed by default whilst .div-to-show is hidden.
When I click in .set, .div-to-hide should hide and .div-to-show should be visible. Next click should return the previous clicked element to its default state.
I need to display to buttons on click inside on .div-to-show.
<div class="container">
<div class="set">
<div class="div-to-hide">Some text</div>
<div class="div-to-show"></div>
</div>
<div class="set">
<div class="div-to-hide">Some text</div>
<div class="div-to-show"></div>
</div>
<div class="set">
<div class="div-to-hide">Some text</div>
<div class="div-to-show"></div>
</div>
</div>
So far I have this:
let lastClicked;
$('.container').on('click', function(e) {
if (this == lastClicked) {
lastClicked = '';
$('.div-to-hide').show();
$(this).children('.div-to-hide').hide();
} else {
lastClicked = this;
$('.div-to-hide').hide();
$(this).children('.div-to-hide').show();
$(this).children('.div-to-show').hide();
}
});
Can't get it to work properly tho.. I don't know what I am missing...
Any help is deeply appreciated!
UPDATE: got it working! Thanks everyone!
First, you are not using delegation (second parameter on the $.on() function) to define the .set element as your this inside the function.
If I understood correctly, you want to show the elements on the last one clicked and hide the rest. You don't really need to know which one you last clicked to do that
$('.container').on('click', '.set', function (e) {
// Now "this" is the clicked .set element
var $this = $(this);
// We'll get the children of .set we want to manipulate
var $div_to_hide = $this.find(".div-to-hide");
var $div_to_show = $this.find(".div-to-show");
// If it's already visible, there's no need to do anything
if ($div_to_show.is(":visible")) {
$div_to_hide.show();
$div_to_show.hide();
}
// Now we get the other .sets
var $other_sets = $this.siblings(".set");
// This second way works for more complex hierarchies. Uncomment if you need it
// var $other_sets = $this.closest(".container").find(".set").not(this);
// We reset ALL af them
$other_sets.find(".div-to-show").hide();
$other_sets.find(".div-to-hide").show();
});
Consider using class toggling instead.
$('.set').on('click', function(e) {
$('.set').removeClass('hidden-child');
$(this).addClass('hidden-child');
});
css:
.hidden-child .div-to-hide, .div-to-show {
display: none;
}
.hidden-child .div-to-show, .div-to-hide {
display: block;
}
This will make your code easier to reason about, and lets css control the display (style) rules.
Edit: changed class name for clarity; expanded explanation; corrected answer to conform to question
Try to make use of siblings() jQuery to hide and show other divs and toggle() jQuery to show and hide itself and also you will need to set click() event on .set, not in .container
$(document).on('click', '.set', function(e) {
$(this).find('.hide').toggle();
$(this).find('.show').toggle();
$(this).siblings('.set').find('.hide').show();
$(this).siblings('.set').find('.show').hide();
});
.show {
display: none;
}
.set div {
padding: 10px;
font: 13px Verdana;
font-weight: bold;
background: red;
color: #ffffff;
margin-bottom: 10px;
cursor: pointer;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="set">
<div class="hide">1 Hide</div>
<div class="show">1 Show</div>
</div>
<div class="set">
<div class="hide">2 Hide</div>
<div class="show">2 Show</div>
</div>
<div class="set">
<div class="hide">3 Hide</div>
<div class="show">3 Show</div>
</div>
</div>
I was wondering how I could define a click event in jQuery / JavaScript which excludes children with a specific class. In the same time I need to use "this" to access the clicked element.
$(".slidebox-header *:not(.stop)").click(function(event) {
alert("woohoo!");
$(this).siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
.slidebox-header {
background-color: yellow;
}
.stop {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="slidebox">
<div class="slidebox-header">
<div class="stop">BLOCKED AREA</div>
<span>Header - Click allowed</span>
</div>
<div class="slidebox-content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
But because "this" refers to the children of ".slidebox-header", it is not working.
My question: Is there an elegant way to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!
slidebox-content is a sibling of slidebox-header, so use .closest() to traverse to to header then use .sibling()
$(".slidebox-header *:not(.stop)").click(function(event) {
$(this).closest('.slidebox-header').siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
Also you can use descendant selector to target the specific child.
$(".slidebox-header > span").click(function(event) {
$(this).closest('.slidebox-header').siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
$(".slidebox-header *:not(.stop)").click(function(event) {
//alert("woohoo!");
$(this).closest('.slidebox-header').siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
.slidebox-header {
background-color: yellow;
}
.stop {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="slidebox">
<div class="slidebox-header">
<div class="stop">BLOCKED AREA</div>
<span>Header - Click allowed</span>
</div>
<div class="slidebox-content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
Or you could bind event with header and use event.stopPropagation() with block element to stop event bubbling.
$(".slidebox-header").click(function(event) {
$(this).siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
$(".slidebox-header .stop").click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
$(".slidebox-header").click(function(event) {
$(this).siblings(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
$(".slidebox-header .stop").click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
.slidebox-header {
background-color: yellow;
}
.stop {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="slidebox">
<div class="slidebox-header">
<div class="stop">BLOCKED AREA</div>
<span>Header - Click allowed</span>
</div>
<div class="slidebox-content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
You can use parents() or closest() to achieve this. Below is the usage of parents():
$(".slidebox-header *:not(.stop)").click(function(event) {
alert("woohoo!");
$(this).parents(".slidebox:first").find(".slidebox-content").slideToggle();
});
.slidebox-header {
background-color: yellow;
}
.stop {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="slidebox">
<div class="slidebox-header">
<div class="stop">BLOCKED AREA</div>
<span>Header - Click allowed</span>
</div>
<div class="slidebox-content">
<p>Content</p>
</div>
</div>
I have a list of DIVS that have buttons inside. By default, all buttons are hidden. When I click within a DIV area, the current button inside of this clicked DIV are should show (class='.db') AND all previously clicked/shown buttons should be hidden (class='.dn'). In other words, at any time there should be only one button (currently clicked) shown and all other should be hidden.
I want to use vanilla Javascript and tried this below, but it won't work. I feel there is some small error but don't know where.. Note - the DIVS and buttons don't have their own unique IDs (they only have the same CSS (.posted) classes.
PS - maybe it'd be better not to add this onClick="t();" to each DIV and use an 'addEventListener' function, but this is way too much for me ; )
CSS:
.dn {display:none}
.db {display:block}
.posted {
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
background-color: green;
border: 2px solid red;
}
HTML:
<div class="posted" onClick="t();">
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
<div class="posted" onClick="t();">
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
<div class="posted" onClick="t();">
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
JAVASCRIPT:
function t()
{
var x=document.getElementsByClassName("posted"),i,y=document.getElementsByTagName("button");
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
x[i].y[0].className="dn";
};
x.y[0].className='db';//make sure the currently clicked DIV shows this button (?)
}
You might want to read more about selector, how to select class, block level etc.
some link might be helpful:
CSS selector:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp
jQuery selector:
https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
Solution - Using jQuery:
$('.posted').on('click', function() {
//find all class called posted with child called dn, then hide them all
$('.posted .dn').hide();
//find this clicked div, find a child called dn and show it
$(this).find('.dn').show();
});
.dn {
display: none
}
.db {
display: block
}
.posted {
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
background-color: green;
border: 2px solid red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply1</button>
</div>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply2</button>
</div>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply3</button>
</div>
Solution - Pure js version:
//get list of div block with class="posted"
var divlist = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.getElementsByClassName('posted'));
//for each div
divlist.forEach(function(item) {
//add click event for this div
item.addEventListener("click", function() {
//hide all button first
divlist.forEach(function(el) {
el.getElementsByTagName('button')[0].classList.add('dn');
});
//show button of the div clicked
this.getElementsByTagName('button')[0].classList.remove('dn');
}, false);
});
.dn {
display: none
}
.db {
display: block
}
.posted {
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
background-color: green;
border: 2px solid red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply1</button>
</div>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply2</button>
</div>
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply3</button>
</div>
You can do this with with plain JavaScript using Event Bubbling, querySelector and the element classList attribute like this.
Change your HTML to look like this:
<div class="posts">
<div class="posted">
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
<div class="posted" >
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
<div class="posted" >
<button class="dn">Reply</button>
</div>
</div>
Then use JavaScript like this:
var posts = document.querySelector('.posts');
var allPosted = document.querySelectorAll('.posted');
//clicks bubble up into the posts DIV
posts.addEventListener('click', function(evt){
var divClickedIn = evt.target;
//hide all the buttons
allPosted.forEach(function(posted){
var postedBtn = posted.querySelector('button');
postedBtn.classList.remove('db');
});
// show the button in the clicked DIV
divClickedIn.querySelector('button').classList.add('db')
});
You can find a working example here: http://output.jsbin.com/saroyit
Here is very simple example using jQuery .siblings method:
$(function () {
$('.posted').click(function () {
$('button', this).show();
$(this).siblings().find('button').hide();
});
});
