Alert box needs to be closed multiple times - javascript

I'm checking the value of a form field and if the value is more than 5 an alert box pops up. This works, but I've noticed that if I fill in the field 1 time, the alert box can be closed normally. If I then enter a new value, also above 5, I need to close the alert box two times, and three times if I would enter a third value. And so on...
I read several related questions on Stackoverflow, but none seemed to be the same issue or related.
window.onload = function() {
displayField();
};
function displayField() {
jQuery('#groupnumber').change(function() {
var amount5 = jQuery('#groupnumber').val();
if (amount5 > 5) {
alert('Alert message');
}
});
};
//Trigger javascript on leaving field
onblur = "displayField();"
So it "keeps score". If I enter a different value the second time and it is still above 5, I would like the alert box to just show once.
Thanks for any help!

The issue is because you call displayField() every time a blur event occurs which in turn adds another change event handler. Therefore when the next change happens all of those handlers are executed.
You can fix this by attaching your event unobtrusively. This way there will only ever be a single event added when the page loads, and it will fire whenever the selected event occurs on the element.
This does work, but has one disadvantage: if one would enter 78, the alert box shows directly after typing the 7, instead of showing when someone is ready with their input. How can that be avoided?
To mitigate that you could 'debounce' the event so that you only show the alert X milliseconds after typing has ended. You can use setTimeout() to do that:
jQuery(function($) {
var timer;
$('#groupnumber').on('input', function() {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout(function() {
var amount5 = $('#groupnumber').val();
if (amount5 > 5) {
alert('Alert message');
}
}, 200);
}).trigger('input'); // fire the event when the page loads
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="number" id="groupnumber" />
Note the aliasing of $ in the document.ready handler. This means you can still use $ within the block to refer to jQuery, making your code slightly less verbose.

You can wrap your window.onload function with setTimeout so user have enough time to enter their number
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout(function(){
displayField();
}, 2000)
};
function displayField() {
jQuery('#groupnumber').change(function() {
var amount5 = jQuery('#groupnumber').val();
if (amount5 > 5) {
alert('Alert message');
}
});
};
//Trigger javascript on leaving field
onblur = "displayField();"
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="number" id="groupnumber" />

Javascript! I want to click a button, click a link to vote and reload the page in console

This is my code in the image below. I need someone to show my errors
Here is my code;
var input = document.getElementById('poll-answer-16');
set interval(function(){
button.click()
}, );
var input = document.getElementById('win');
set interval(function(){
button.click()
}, );
setInterval(function() {
window.location.reload();
}, 10000);
Someone may correct me if I am wrong but your setInterval does not have any delay parameter.
also you set button.click() so looks like a function but it is not but there is not even listener attached to your input variable so the browser does not know when do executethe function
you should have something more like:
var input = document.getElementById(id);
input. addEventListener('click', () => {
//code to run
});
also you have set a variable in the same scope with the same name so the second variable will overwrite the first making it incomplete
I hoped this helped a bit would say more but I am not sure what you want it to do

Click on button first time show alert, click second time execute code

I want to show users, when they click on a button for the first time, an alert when in a date field a value is chosen which lies before the current date. When they insist to this choice for good reasons, I want them to give a second chance to click on the same button, and then the value has to be submitted.
The click event is defined in a function:
$("#edit_date_btn").click(function(){
// do something and save
}
In an other function the comparing is handled. The basic code is:
function edit_date_compare() {
....
if(usersDate < today)
{ //show alert
return false; // needed for the first click so the input is not submitted
}
I've tried several options e.g. with a count on the click function (on a second click 'return true;' instead of 'return false;') but it seems difficult to handle this situation. Any ideas how to make this successful? It could be with Javascript or jQuery.
You have the right idea with the count on the click function. I suspect you might have difficulty implementing it. You need a separate variable that tracks the number of clicks. Here's a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zwmquxaL/
$(document).ready(function () {
var clickCount = 0;
$("#btnSave").click(function () {
if (clickCount > 0) {
AlertSave();
} else {
AlertFirst();
clickCount++;
}
});
});
function AlertSave() {
alert("Some code has been executed!");
}
function AlertFirst() {
alert("Are you sure you want to perform this operation?");
}

Trigger validation after first submit, then after after every keystroke on input element

I am using jquery validation for everything I'm about to talk below.
so I have an input field, lets call it email. I also have a submit button for this form. Now by default the error message for email field will not kick in until I hit the submit button. Then whenever I type it will show/hide error message dependant on if it is a valid email. This check happens with every key stroke and this is a very important distinction to make so that you would understand my problem I posted below.
Now I have a background colour on the input, it is suppose to be green when validation has passed and red when it has failed. I have this part working, let me show you how I did it:
window.onload = function () {
$(".js-validate-circle").on("input", function () {
UpdateValidationCircle(this);
});
}
function UpdateValidationCircle(e) {
if ($(e).valid()) {
$(e).parent().addClass("active");
} else {
$(e).parent().removeClass("active");
}
}
The active class is what determines if its green or red. There is styling that is irrelevant I think to the question so I wont post it here.
Here is my problem: When the page loads and I start typing, it forces validation to trigger and error messages start coming in before I click the submit button for the first time. I am trying to prevent this. I want the color the start changing on typing only after the submit button was hit. Functionality of my red/green background should match jquery validation messages.
How would I accomplish something like this? I tried using on change but then the validation triggers only when the box loses focus.
jQuery(function($) { // DOM ready and $ alias in scope
// Cache elements
var $circle = $(".js-validate-circle");
var addedInputEvent = false; // Just a flag to know if we already added the evt listener
// On form submit....
$("#form").on("submit", function(event) {
// Prevent default form submit
event.preventDefault();
// Check immediately
$circle.each(UpdateValidationCircle);
// If not already assigned, assign an "input" listener
if(!addedInputEvent) {
addedInputEvent = true;
$circle.on("input", UpdateValidationCircle);
}
});
function UpdateValidationCircle() {
var $el = $(this);
$el.parent().toggleClass("active", $el.valid());
}
});
Use the keyup event instead:
$(".js-validate-circle").on("keyup", function () {
...
Assuming .js-validate-circle is your input... or if it is the form:
$(".js-validate-circle").on("keyup", "#id-of-the-input", function () {
...
If this doesn't work, we are going to need to see validate()s code and some markup.

SetInterval in Opera causes select blinking

I need to group tooltips about errors showed by jQuery Validator. So I have written simple loop with setInterval to check if in the same row are more than one input with error class.
setInterval(function() {
$('.xrror').remove();
$('div.row-4:has([name].error)').each(function() {
var tmp = $('[name].error', this);
if(tmp.length > 1) {
$('label.error', this).hide();
tmp.last().parent().append(
$(document.createElement('label')).addClass('error').addClass('xrror').append(
$(document.createElement('span')).text('Fields with errors were marked with red color')
)
);
} else {
$('[name].error', this).parent().find('label.error').show();
}
});
}, 50);
And in Opera it's causing blinking on opened Select element.
Instead of using a setInterval function every 50 miliseconds, which will consume a lot of resources, you should bind your function on events like submit, or change. As it seems to be related to a form validation, you do not need to do anything unless the user modify a field.

Preventing multiple clicks on button

I have following jQuery code to prevent double clicking a button. It works fine. I am using Page_ClientValidate() to ensure that the double click is prevented only if the page is valid. [If there are validation errors the flag should not be set as there is no postback to server started]
Is there a better method to prevent the second click on the button before the page loads back?
Can we set the flag isOperationInProgress = yesIndicator only if the page is causing a postback to server? Is there a suitable event for it that will be called before the user can click on the button for the second time?
Note: I am looking for a solution that won't require any new API
Note: This question is not a duplicate. Here I am trying to avoid the use of Page_ClientValidate(). Also I am looking for an event where I can move the code so that I need not use Page_ClientValidate()
Note: No ajax involved in my scenario. The ASP.Net form will be submitted to server synchronously. The button click event in javascript is only for preventing double click. The form submission is synchronous using ASP.Net.
Present Code
$(document).ready(function () {
var noIndicator = 'No';
var yesIndicator = 'Yes';
var isOperationInProgress = 'No';
$('.applicationButton').click(function (e) {
// Prevent button from double click
var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate();
if (isPageValid) {
if (isOperationInProgress == noIndicator) {
isOperationInProgress = yesIndicator;
} else {
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
});
References:
Validator causes improper behavior for double click check
Whether to use Page_IsValid or Page_ClientValidate() (for Client Side Events)
Note by #Peter Ivan in the above references:
calling Page_ClientValidate() repeatedly may cause the page to be too obtrusive (multiple alerts etc.).
I found this solution that is simple and worked for me:
<form ...>
<input ...>
<button ... onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Submitting...'; this.form.submit();">
</form>
This solution was found in:
Original solution
JS provides an easy solution by using the event properties:
$('selector').click(function(event) {
if(!event.detail || event.detail == 1){//activate on first click only to avoid hiding again on multiple clicks
// code here. // It will execute only once on multiple clicks
}
});
disable the button on click, enable it after the operation completes
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btn").on("click", function() {
$(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
doWork(); //this method contains your logic
});
});
function doWork() {
alert("doing work");
//actually this function will do something and when processing is done the button is enabled by removing the 'disabled' attribute
//I use setTimeout so you can see the button can only be clicked once, and can't be clicked again while work is being done
setTimeout('$("#btn").removeAttr("disabled")', 1500);
}
working example
I modified the solution by #Kalyani and so far it's been working beautifully!
$('selector').click(function(event) {
if(!event.detail || event.detail == 1){ return true; }
else { return false; }
});
Disable pointer events in the first line of your callback, and then resume them on the last line.
element.on('click', function() {
element.css('pointer-events', 'none');
//do all of your stuff
element.css('pointer-events', 'auto');
};
After hours of searching i fixed it in this way:
old_timestamp = null;
$('#productivity_table').on('click', function(event) {
// code executed at first load
// not working if you press too many clicks, it waits 1 second
if(old_timestamp == null || old_timestamp + 1000 < event.timeStamp)
{
// write the code / slide / fade / whatever
old_timestamp = event.timeStamp;
}
});
you can use jQuery's [one][1] :
.one( events [, data ], handler ) Returns: jQuery
Description: Attach a handler to an event for the elements. The handler is executed at most once per element per event type.
see examples:
using jQuery: https://codepen.io/loicjaouen/pen/RwweLVx
// add an even listener that will run only once
$("#click_here_button").one("click", once_callback);
using count,
clickcount++;
if (clickcount == 1) {}
After coming back again clickcount set to zero.
May be this will help and give the desired functionality :
$('#disable').on('click', function(){
$('#disable').attr("disabled", true);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="disable">Disable Me!</button>
<p>Hello</p>
We can use on and off click for preventing Multiple clicks. i tried it to my application and it's working as expected.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#disable").on('click', function () {
$(this).off('click');
// enter code here
});
})
This should work for you:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.applicationButton').click(function (e) {
var btn = $(this),
isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate(); // cache state of page validation
if (!isPageValid) {
// page isn't valid, block form submission
e.preventDefault();
}
// disable the button only if the page is valid.
// when the postback returns, the button will be re-enabled by default
btn.prop('disabled', isPageValid);
return isPageValid;
});
});
Please note that you should also take steps server-side to prevent double-posts as not every visitor to your site will be polite enough to visit it with a browser (let alone a JavaScript-enabled browser).
The absolute best way I've found is to immediately disable the button when clicked:
$('#myButton').click(function() {
$('#myButton').prop('disabled', true);
});
And re-enable it when needed, for example:
validation failed
error while processing the form data by the server, then after an error response using jQuery
Another way to avoid a quick double-click is to use the native JavaScript function ondblclick, but in this case it doesn't work if the submit form works through jQuery.
One way you do this is set a counter and if number exceeds the certain number return false.
easy as this.
var mybutton_counter=0;
$("#mybutton").on('click', function(e){
if (mybutton_counter>0){return false;} //you can set the number to any
//your call
mybutton_counter++; //incremental
});
make sure, if statement is on top of your call.
If you are doing a full round-trip post-back, you can just make the button disappear. If there are validation errors, the button will be visible again upon reload of the page.
First set add a style to your button:
<h:commandButton id="SaveBtn" value="Save"
styleClass="hideOnClick"
actionListener="#{someBean.saveAction()}"/>
Then make it hide when clicked.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".hideOnClick").click(function(e) {
$(e.toElement).hide();
});
});
Just copy paste this code in your script and edit #button1 with your button id and it will resolve your issue.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button1").submit(function() {
$(this).submit(function() {
return false;
});
return true;
});
});
</script
Plain JavaScript:
Set an attribute to the element being interacted
Remove the attribute after a timeout
If the element has the attribute, do nothing
const throttleInput = document.querySelector('button');
throttleInput.onclick = function() {
if (!throttleInput.hasAttribute('data-prevent-double-click')) {
throttleInput.setAttribute('data-prevent-double-click', true);
throttleInput.setAttribute('disabled', true);
document.body.append("Foo!");
}
setTimeout(function() {
throttleInput.removeAttribute('disabled');
throttleInput.removeAttribute('data-prevent-double-click');
}, 3000);
}
<button>Click to add "Foo"!</button>
We also set the button to .disabled=true. I added the HTML Command input with type hidden to identify if the transaction has been added by the Computer Server to the Database.
Example HTML and PHP Commands:
<button onclick="myAddFunction(<?php echo $value['patient_id'];?>)" id="addButtonId">ADD</button>
<input type="hidden" id="hasPatientInListParam" value="<?php echo $hasPatientInListParamValue;?>">
Example Javascript Command:
function myAddFunction(patientId) {
document.getElementById("addButtonId").disabled=true;
var hasPatientInList = document.getElementById("hasPatientInListParam").value;
if (hasPatientInList) {
alert("Only one (1) patient in each List.");
return;
}
window.location.href = "webAddress/addTransaction/"+patientId; //reloads page
}
After reloading the page, the computer auto-sets the button to .disabled=false. At present, these actions prevent the multiple clicks problem in our case.
I hope these help you too.
Thank you.
One way I found that works is using bootstrap css to display a modal window with a spinner on it. This way nothing in the background can be clicked. Just need to make sure that you hide the modal window again after your long process completes.
so I found a simple solution, hope this helps.
all I had to do was create a counter = 0, and make the function that runs when clicked only runnable if the counter is = 0, when someone clicks the function the first line in the function sets counter = 1 and this will prevent the user from running the function multiple times when the function is done the last line of the code inside the function sets counter to 0 again
you could use a structure like this, it will execute just once:
document.getElementById('buttonID').addEventListener('click', () => {
...Do things...
},{once:true});
