<div id='example' data-fn='functiona'>OK</div>
$('#button').click function(){
$('#example').attr('data-fn', functionb');
});
function functiona(){
console.log('functiona');
}
function functionb(){
console.log('functionb');
}
$('#example').click(function(){
// execute function currently stored inside data-fn attribute
});
Probably everything is clear.
I need dinamically change the function which will be executed by clicking on example.
The current function should be stored inside data-fn.
Any help?
What you want to do is described in Can you set a javascript function name as an html attribute?
But I suggest that you solve it that way:
$('#button').click(function() {
$('#example').off('click.myNamespace') // remove the previously assigned callback
.on('click.myNamespace', creatClickCallback(functionb)); // register the new callback
});
function functiona() {
console.log('functiona');
}
function functionb() {
console.log('functionb');
}
function creatClickCallback(functionToCall) {
return function(evt) {
functionToCall()
}
}
$('#example').on('click.myNamespace', creatClickCallback(functiona));
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id='example'>OK</div>
<div id='button'>button</div>
This way you ensure that you do not accitantily name a function the wrong way, because you pass it as an actual reference to that function instead of a string.
Couldn't you just store the function name, then when you click you check which function is then call it and update the function to which one you want?
Something like this:
function functiona(){
console.log('called functiona');
document.body.style.background = '#aaa';
}
function functionb(){
console.log('called functionb');
document.body.style.background = '#fff';
}
$('#example').on("click", function(ev){
var func = $(ev.target).attr('data-fn');
console.log(func);
window[func]();
});
$('#changer').on("click", function(ev){
//HERE you can change the function will be called based on what you want
//Here I just changed it with a simple if...
var fn = $("#example").attr("data-fn");
if (fn == 'functiona'){
$("#example").attr("data-fn", "functionb");
}else {
$("#example").attr("data-fn", "functiona");
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id='example' data-fn='functiona'>Click Me to call function</div>
<button id='changer'>Change Function</button>
Here, the global variable window have your functions stored, so going through it by it's name and calling it, should work, if this name exist as a function window[stringOfFuncionName]();
This is not the best way of doing what you need (actually you didn't let completely clear your final objective), but this maybe can help.

In my HTML, this works
<div id="portfolio1" onclick="changeMainFrame('lib/portfolio1.html')">
to trigger the following function:
function changeMainFrame(srcURL){
var target = document.getElementById("mainFrame");
target.src = srcURL;
}
I want to migrate it to my javascript doc. But this does not work:
document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick = changeMainFrame("lib/portfolio1.html");
I can not find out how to fix this. Any hints? Cannot find a similar situation anywhere for something so simple yet time consuming.
document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick = function() {
changeMainFrame("lib/portfolio1.html");
}
You're calling the function changeMainFrame. What you want to do is supply a function wrapper.
document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick = function() {
changeMainFrame("lib/portfolio1.html");
}
function changeMainFrame(txt) {
alert(txt);
}
<div id="portfolio1">Click Me</div>
You need to assign a function to document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick which will be called when that element gets clicked. The problem is that instead of assigning a function, you assigned the result of invoking/calling that function. What you can do instead is provide a function in which inside it you call changeMainFrame:
document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick = function() {
changeMainFrame("lib/portfolio1.html");
};
You need to either use .onclick or the onclick attribute. Both of them require a handler function, and what you were passing was just the result of running your changeMainFrame function (null). Wrapping it in a function() { } yields your expected result.
function changeMainFrame(srcURL){
var target = document.getElementById("mainFrame");
target.src = srcURL;
}
document.getElementById("portfolio1").onclick = function(){changeMainFrame('https://codepen.io')}
<div id="portfolio1">go to codepen.io</div>
<iframe id="mainFrame" src="https://example.com"></iframe>
I want the events click and touchstart to trigger a function.
Of course this is simple with JQuery. $('#id').on('click touchstart', function{...});
But then once that event is triggered, I want that same handler to do something else when the events are triggered,
and then later, I want to go back to the original handling function.
It seems like there must be a cleaner way to do this than using $('#id').off('click touchstart'); and then re-applying the handler.
How should I be doing this?
You can create a counter variable in some construct in your javascript code that allows you to decide how you want to handle your event.
$(function() {
var trackClicks = (function() {
var clicks = true;
var getClicks = function() {
return clicks;
};
var eventClick = function() {
clicks = !clicks;
};
return {
getClicks: getClicks,
eventClicks: eventClicks
}
})();
$('#id').on('click touchstart', function {
if (trackClicks.getClicks()) {
handler1();
} else {
handler2();
}
trackClicks.eventClick();
});
function handler1() { //firsthandler};
function handler2() { //secondhandler};
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
The way I would do this is by creating a couple of functions for the handler function to call based on certain flags. Sudo code would be something like this:
function beginning_action() {
...
}
function middle() {
...
}
var beginning_state = true;
$('#id').on('click touchstart', function{
if(beginning_state) {
beginning_action();
} else {
middle();
}
});
Then all you need to do is change the variable beginning_state to change which function is called. Of course you would give them better names that describe what they do and not when they do it.
Additionally, if you want the handler to call more than two functions you can change the beginning_state variable from a boolean to an int and check it's value to determine which function to call.
Good luck!
I know my question have answer in the past but I don't have the vocabulary to find this.
I call a JavaScript function like this:
Voir +
This function change the state of the element .stats-table but I want to know which button have been clicked to call this function?
Better : can I have a jQuery object of this button?
Try to pass the this reference to know which button was clicked,
HTML:

JS:
function showTable(selec,elem){
var currentElem = $(elem); //Clicked element
}
If you don't want to change the signature of the function and the way you invoke it (as others have suggested), you can use the global window.event to identify the clicked element:
function showTable(selector)
{
var clickedElement = window.event.target;
//...
}
See MDN.
When you use jQuery, you might consider refactor your code like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.show-table-link').on('click', function(){
var $usedButton = $(this)
showTable('.stats-table')
}
})

It's good practice to attach the on click handler instead of writing it inline. Further reading document.ready and jQuery event basics.
You can pass any value or id and your can identify the function
<script type="text/javascript">
function showTable(clss_name,fun_id)
{
if(fun_id=='A1')
{
alert("First function Executed");
}
if(fun_id=='A2')
{
alert("Second Function is executed");
}
}
</script>
......

If your function is like this:
function showTable(selec) {
// some code
}
You can get the clicked element like this, using this:
function showTable(selec) {
// some code
var clickedElem = this;
}
The following is my code:
$.win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
$.txtAbout.blur();
});
Event handler is called if someone clicks on the parent div/window, invoking the method. I would like to amend the code, so this happens:
$.win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
$.txtAbout.blur();
//do something else if the above function is successfully called
//code....
});
I am not sure what is the best way to do this? Is wrapping the above method call in another function then calling in the event handler with a boolean value the way to do it?
function test(){
$.txtAbout.blur();
return true;
}
$.win.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var check = test();
if(check==true)
{
//do something else if the above function is successfully called
//code....
}
});
i try to pass paramater to function. When i click the div it will alert the paramater that i pass
i have 2 file
index.html
script.js
here's what i try
Example 1
index.html
<div id="thediv" >
script.js
window.onload = initialize;
//bind event listener
function initialize(){
document.getElementById("thediv").onclick = myFunction(" something ");
}
//end of bind
//function
function myFunction(parameter) { alert( parameter ) };
//end of all function
the trouble is the function its executed without click
Example 2
index.html
<div id="thediv" onclick="myfunction('something')" >
script.js
function myFunction(parameter) { alert( parameter ) };
yap its done with this but the trouble if i have many element in index.html it will painful to read which element have which listener
i want to separate my code into 3 section (similiar with example1)
the view(html element)
the element have which listener
the function
what should i do? or can i do this?
(i don't want to use another library)
Placing () (with any number of arguments in it) will call a function. The return value (undefined in this case) will then be assigned as the event handler.
If you want to assign a function, then you need to pass the function itself.
...onclick = myFunction;
If you want to give it arguments when it is called, then the easiest way is to create a new function and assign that.
...onclick = function () {
myFunction("arguments");
};
Your first solution logic is absolutely ok .. just need to assign a delegate ... what you are doing is calling the function .. So do something like this ...
//bind event listener
function initialize(){
document.getElementById("thediv").onclick = function () { myFunction(" something "); };
}
//end of bind
Instead of assign you invoke a function with myFunction();
Use it like this
//bind event listener
function initialize(){
document.getElementById("thediv").onclick = function(){
myFunction(" something ");
}
}
