So, I'm trying to create a TODO list but I'm having problems with "click" events once I dinamically load content.
What I want to achieve is that, once I click an element, send the "id" through $.post to a PHP file that deletes said row from my MySQL Database. And then, shows a new list without the deleted row.
Currently, I'm loading my "list.php" with $.get onto my "#todo-list" div. However, once I click, the info is sent, the row gets deleted, I get the new list without the deleted element. Every is ok at that point.
However, when I click an element of my new list, nothing happenns.
This is my Javascript File:
$(function() {
$.get("list.php", function(data){
$("#todo-list").html(data);
$("#todo").on("click", "li", function(){
let li = $(this);
let id = li.attr("id");
$.post("list.php", {id: id}, function(data){
$("#todo-list").html(data);
});
});
});
});
Here is my HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<title>My test app</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="./script.js"></script>
<style>
.todo-list li:hover {
text-decoration: line-through;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TODO: Just a list with stuff to do...</h1>
<div id="todo-list">
Loading content...
</div>
</body>
</html>
And this is my PHP file:
// code to connect to MySQL with PDO...
if ($_POST) {
// code to delete the id
}
$data = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM todo");
$data->execute();
echo "<ul id='todo'>\n";
while ($row = $data->fetch()) {
echo "<li id='{$row['id']}'>{$row['todo']}</li>\n";
}
echo "</ul>\n";
As said, nothing happens after I get the new list with the deleted row.
I want my new list to be clickable, the same way the first list is... and of course, if I have 20 elements, I want to be able to click and delete them without reloading the page. Is it possible?
your click hanlder to delete row should be like this,you need to assign event handler again to newly added rows,
function delete_row(){
let li = $(this);
let id = li.attr("id");
$.post("list.php", {id: id}, function(data){
$("#todo-list").html(data);
//assigne the event handle again
$("#todo").on("click", "li",delete_row)
});
}
$(function() {
$.get("list.php", function(data){
$("#todo-list").html(data);
$("#todo").on("click", "li",delete_row)
});
});

function createPost(){

}
How would I utilize user input so the user can create a post with their own message? I am a newbie with jQuery so if this is a stupid question please forgive me. Possible duplicate but I couldn't find another post like this.
First things first - you should not have added '#' in front of body, it'd mean that the body element is of id 'body', assigning id to an element that is unique does not bear that much sense, instead you should just target the tag - $('body').
In order to provide some sort of message you first have to capture it, for instance using some sort of input. Here is a working demo.
$('#submit').click(function(){
createPost($('#text').val());
})
You read it as follows, grab element of id 'submit', assign it a click event, grab the value of input box of id 'text' and pass it to a function named create post which accepts a string parameter and then prints it in a <p> tag.

I am not exactly sure what you want to do from your question. In future questions you will find it helpful to provide more detail on exactly what you want to do with your application or function.
The basic idea here is to use a button or any action you can capture with jQuery (like pressing enter or checking $(element).on('click',... and then putting that info where you want using $(element).html(...) or .append(...).
Here is a fiddle I made with the rough idea. Try to use this fiddle tool a lot, and you can also post the link to what you have tried in future questions. Good luck :-)
JSFiddle example of submitting a post
In a.html:
I have a textarea that is converted into a link after the user clicks the submit button. When the user clicks on the link they are redirected to b.html.
<textarea id="sentenceId">
</textarea>
<br>
<button type="button" id="buttonId" onclick="createLink(document.getElementById('sentenceId').value)">Submit
</button>
<p id="demo">
<a id ="link" href="b.html"></a>
</p>
In b.html:
I would like to display the original text.
In script.js:
function createLink(val) {
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = val;
document.getElementById('buttonId').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('sentenceId').style.display = 'none';
}
If you want to open a new page and get the text there, you could use a post-form and an input[type="hidden"] to send the text and display it afterwards.
If you wand the link to be sendable, you'd either have to encode the text as get-parameter or save it to a database and add the id of the entry to the link.
As #Kramb already mentioned, localStorage is a possibility, but only if you stay on the same browser and both pages have the same domain.
Using localStorage
The localStorage property allows you to access a local Storage object. localStorage is similar to sessionStorage. The only difference is that, while data stored in localStorage has no expiration time, data stored in sessionStorage gets cleared when the browsing session ends—that is, when the browser is closed.
a.html
function createLink(val) {
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = val;
document.getElementById('buttonId').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('sentenceId').style.display = 'none';
localStorage.setItem("textArea", val);
}
b.html
function getText(){
var textVal = localStorage.getItem("textArea");
}
Another option would be to use a query string.
a.html
function navigateTo(val){
window.href.location = "b.html?text=" + val;
}
This will pass the value of the text from textarea with the url during navigation. Once b.html has loaded, you can do the following.
b.html
function getText(){
var url = window.location.href;
var queryIndex = url.indexOf("=") + 1;
var passedText = url.substring(queryIndex);
document.getElementById('foo').value = passedText;
}
This is possible using JavaScript. You can do an AJAX call to another page on you website, and search for an element to get its content. In you're case an textarea
I wrote an example on codepen.io for you. Click here
To make things simpler im using jQuery in this example.
So how does it work?
First of, include jQuery inside the <head> tag of you're website.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
I created the following structure
structure
root
scripts
jQuery.min.js
index.js
index.html
textarea.html
Contents of index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Meta -->
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>My New Pen!</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/index.processed.css">
</head>
<body>
<button id="clickme">To load the textarea content, click me!</button>
<div id="content">The data from the textarea will be shown here, afte you click on the button :)</div>
<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="scripts/index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Contents of texarea.html
<textarea id="textarea">
I am the content of the textarea inside the textarea.html file.
</textarea>
Contents of index.js
(function() {
$(document).ready(function() {
/**
* The button which triggers the ajax call
*/
var button = $("#clickme");
/**
* Register the click event
*/
button.click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "textarea.html",
type: "GET"
}).done(function(response) {
var text = $(response).filter("#textarea").html();
$("#content").append("<br/><br/><strong>" + text + "</strong>");
});
});
});
})()
So what does index.js do exactly?
As you can see i created an Ajax call to the textarea.html file. The .done function holds the response data. The data inside it can be anything depending on the content of the textarea.html file.
$(response).filter("#textarea").html();
The above piece of code filters out the #textarea div and then gets the innerHTML using the jQuery html() function.
If you want to get the value of the textarea through the [value] attribute, you can replace above line to
$(response).filter("#textarea").val();
I believe you want to do this:
function createLink() {
var textvalue = document.getElementById('sentenceId').value;
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = textvalue;
document.getElementById("buttonId").className ="hideme";
document.getElementById("sentenceId").className ="hideme";
}
.hideme{
display: none;
}
<textarea id="sentenceId">
</textarea>
<br>
<button id="buttonId" onclick="createLink()">Submit
</button>
<p id="demo">
<a id ="link" href="b.html"/>
</p>
I'm building a webpage where you'll be able to display random elements fetched from a JSON database. For example, we could have a "what should I cook" button where you're given a random dish every time you click it.
So far, I've managed to create a button that, when clicked, writes out one (1) field from the several ones I have in my JSON file.
I want to add more elements to the JSON.
Also I'm trying to accomplish one of two alternatives:
Get the fields from a random element in the JSON file. (this is preferred over the second alternative)
OR
Get the elements from the JSON file in a specific order. So you could get a field from the first element when you click the button the first time, then one field from the second element when you click it the second time and so on.
Right now nothing works if I add another element.
This is how my code looks like right now.
JSON:
{
"visible": "1",
"date": "2011-01-16 19:48:27",
"submitterid": "2541",
"rating": "3",
"dubious": "1",
"imdbid": "0268126",
"id": "1919",
"title": "Adaptation",
"year": "2002"
}
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>hi</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js.js"></script>
<script>
var bechdelApi = "js.js";
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$.getJSON(bechdelApi, function(data){
$.each(data, function(i, field){
if (i == "title") {
$("div").append(field + " ");
}
});
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>give me a movie!</button>
<div></div>
</body>
If you use TaffyDB, you could do something like this:

</head>
<body>
<button class="movie-button">give me a movie!</button>
<div class="movies-container"></div>
</body>
</html>
<script>
var movies = TAFFY();
$.getJSON("yourAPICall", function( data ) {
movies.insert(data);
});
$(".movie-button").click(function(){
//updating each element in the movies db with the 'order' field, which is initialized with a random value
movies().update(function(){
this.order = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
return this;
});
//ordering the movies collection by the field 'order' and fetching the first movie on the new ordering
var movie = movies().order("order").first();
//appending movie title to container div
$(".movies-container").html($("<div class='movie-container'></div>").append(movie.title));
});
</script>
EXAMPLE: http://jsfiddle.net/87u27swk/
I'm writing a ASP.NET application.
I have a page, where user will select or deselect some elements. This happens client-side: when user clicks on a div, javascript function is called and some classes are changed, so the div is "grayed out".
There is also a Save button (asp:Button), that will save data.
What is the best way to pass information about selected elements back to server-side?
I have tried to put that info in cookies. Each div has ID, so I would create cookie with that ID and boolean value. This is a bad idea, because:
- when user (de-)selects some elements, and then navigates away from page without saving
- then navigates back, and without selecting anything clicks "Save", cookies have previous values and that gets saved.
What you have tried is good except Cookies. I can understand the problem you are facing.
So I would suggest to use Hidden Field instead of Cookies.
When your div is get selected call the javascript function and store the value (in specific format) in hidden field. and In the same way when your div is deselected remove the value from the HiddenField.
You can store value in HiddenField in below format (ID:value) :
div1:true;div2:true;div3:true
Now on the click event of the button you can first split the values by semicolon (';') and you will get the array like this :
div1:true,
div2:true,
div3:false
for each value again split the value by colon (':') and you will get the div id at the 0th index and its value on first index.
So basically your code to get the values from hidden field and perform an action on it would be as mentioned below :
foreach (var selectedDiv in this.hfSelected.Value.Split(';'))
{
var divId = selectedDiv.Split(':')[0];
var divValue = selectedDiv.Split(':')[1];
// Perform action on divId and divValue
}
Update :
To store the value in HiddenField, instead of div click, you can use the OnClientClick event of the button and get the value of selected and deselected div. See my below code sample :
ASPX Page :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" language="javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-ui-1.9.1.custom.min.js" language="javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.selectedDiv {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
.deselectedDiv {
background-color: #bababa;
color: #000;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div class="selectedDiv" id="div1">I am Div 1</div>
<div class="selectedDiv" id="div2">I am Div 2</div>
<div class="selectedDiv" id="div3">I am Div 3</div>
<div class="selectedDiv" id="div4">I am Div 4</div>
<div class="selectedDiv" id="div5">I am Div 5</div>
<input type="hidden" id="hfDivSelection" runat="server" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="buttonSave" OnClick="buttonSave_OnClick" Text ="Save" OnClientClick="GetSelection()"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('div').click(function () {
var css = $(this).attr('class');
if (css == 'selectedDiv') {
$(this).attr('class', 'deselectedDiv');
} else {
$(this).attr('class', 'selectedDiv');
}
});
function GetSelection() {
$('div').each(function() {
var values = $('#<%=hfDivSelection.ClientID%>').val();
var css = $(this).attr('class');
var divId = $(this).attr('id');
if (css == 'selectedDiv') {
$('#<%=hfDivSelection.ClientID%>').val(values + divId + ':true;');
} else if (css == 'deselectedDiv') {
$('#<%=hfDivSelection.ClientID%>').val(values + divId + ':false;');
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Code Behind :
protected void buttonSave_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (var selectedDiv in this.hfDivSelection.Value.Split(';'))
{
var divId = selectedDiv.Split(':')[0];
var divValue = selectedDiv.Split(':')[1];
// Perform action on divId and divValue
}
}
I recommend the $.ajax function of jquery. It is very convenient.
Here is an example.
Javascript + jquery code:
//this $.ajaxSetup step is optional, but will save you a bunch of caching and asynchrony problems.
$.ajaxSetup({
cache: false,
async: false
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'submit.aspx',
data: {"field1": "value1", "field2": "value2"},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(response){console.log('Data submit worked. Response was:\n' + response)}
});
(More info on this function at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/.)
Then, in submit.aspx, place your code to get the info, this SO article may help.
You can then save the data to an xml file via asp.net. When you want to reload the user's settings, you can use the GET command of the $.ajax function:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: '/data/userfields.xml',
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml) {
var fieldvalue = $(xml).find('a_node').attr('an_attrib');
//...
},
error: function(xml) { console.log ('failed to get xml file on import of file: /data/userfields.xml');}
});
In my opinion the best thing would be to use checkboxes (placed in a form that will be submited on button click) and use CSS to stile the div's accordig to the checkbox statuses.
I suggest using ajax callbacks. Using cookies on this approach is a bit messy. Create "on click" events on each div and if you really want to use a best practice approach to save data on the client side I suggest using Local Storage:

Hope this helps
I have included a file named test.php in the file index.php
lets assume index.php is like this
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="dash">Index</h1>
<div id='tab.php'>
<?php include('tab.php'); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and tab.php is like this
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li id='date' onClick="change_head(this.id);">Dates</li>
<li id='appoint' onClick="change_head(this.id);">Appointments</li>
<ul>
</body>
</html>
Here what i would like to do is, if the list item date is clicked(list items are actually tabs). The inner html of the h1 tag with id dash should be changed to Dates and if the list item appoint is clicked the inner html of same h1 tag with id dash should change to appointments.
how can i do that ?? i tried the usual javascript way by taking the ids and applying the if condition to change the innerHTML but it was not working..anyone pls help me how to do it
JAVASCRIPT (this is the js i tried to achive it...i added this in index.php)
function change_head(id){
dash = document.getElementById('dash').innerHTML;
if(id == date){
dash = "Date";
}
else if(id == appoint){
dash = "Appointment";
}
else{
dash = "Index";
}
}
You could try using jquery... something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("li#date").click(function () {
$("h1#dash").val("Dates");
});
$("li#appoint").click(function () {
$("h1#dash").val("Appointments");
});
});
</script>
Of course, if you had more of these tabs, I would create a single click event handler for all "li" elements and switch on the ID :-)
Assuming you're new to jquery, you'd also have to include the jquery script in your page. Something like:
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.6.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Check out jquery.com to get started.
If you want do it with JavaScript (i.e. without page reloading), so you need use DOM innerHTML.
Something like (if you didn't use jQuery), didn't test this code through, hope you get idea:
var changetext = function(e,t) {
e.innerHTML = t;
},
elemheader = document.getElementById('dash'),
elemdate = document.getElementById('date'),
elemappoint = document.getElementById('appoint');
if (elemdate.addEventListener) {
elemdate.addEventListener('click',changetext(elemheader,'Date'),false);
}
if (elemappoint.addEventListener) {
elemappoint.addEventListener('click',changetext(elemheader,'Appoint'),false);
}
