JavaScript is not applying on page

I have below code that I have written in JavaScript and the script is referenced on the webpage. When the page loads, a call JavaScript happens and the logic's action should be rendered on the webpage.
Right now the script is firing on the webpage, but the action is not getting rendered on the webpage. However, if I execute the script on page console, changes happen.
<script>
function bannerLoad() {
var delayAddOn = setInterval(function() {
if ($(".add-ons").hasClass("current")) {
if ($('.addons-sidebar.clearfix img').length < 1) {
$(".addons-container :last").append($('<img>', {
class: 'img-responsive',
src: 'https://www.abc.in/content/dam/abc/6e-website/banner/target/2018/06/abc.png'
}));
}
clearInterval(delayAddOn);
}
}, 100);
};
window.onload = function() {
bannerLoad();
};
window.onclick = function() {
bannerLoad();
};
</script>
Can anyone check if there is any issue?

You need to call the script when the page is fully loaded, else the function will be called and can't find the DOM elements.
You should wrap your code inside the ready function:
<script>
//OPEN THE READY FUNCTION
$(function(){
bannerLoad(); //Call of your function when the page is fully loaded
$(window).click(bannerLoad);
});
//CLOSE THE READY FUNCTION
function bannerLoad() {
var delayAddOn = setInterval(function()
{
if($(".add-ons").hasClass("current"))
{
if($('.addons-sidebar.clearfix img').length < 1)
{
$(".addons-container :last").append($('<img>',{class:'img-responsive',src:'https://www.abc.in/content/dam/abc/6e-website/banner/target/2018/06/abc.png'}));
}
clearInterval(delayAddOn);
}
}, 100);
};
</script>

A page can't be manipulated safely until the document is "ready." jQuery detects this state of readiness for you. Code included inside $( document ).ready() will only run once the page Document Object Model (DOM) is ready for JavaScript code to execute. Code included inside $( window ).on( "load", function() { ... }) will run once the entire page , not just the DOM, is ready.
// A $( document ).ready() block.
$( document ).ready(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
bannerLoad();
$(window).click(bannerLoad);
});
function bannerLoad() {
if($(".add-ons").hasClass("current"))
{
if($('.addons-sidebar.clearfix img').length < 1)
{
$(".addons-container :last").append($('<img>',{class:'img-responsive',src:'https://www.abc.in/content/dam/abc/6e-website/banner/target/2018/06/abc.png'}));
}
clearInterval(delayAddOn);
}
}, 100);
};

Your script has some little issues. I will try to evaluate them.
As bannerLoad is a function you don't need a ; at the end. Not an issue, just a hint.
As told before, bannerLoad is a function. So why would you wrap the function again in a function for your events? Just pass the function name directly, like window.click = bannerLoad;. Note that there are no bracers at the end, you just pass the name.
You function will always create a new delayAddOn variable with a new interval. So every time you click, another interval will be started and run in background. If you will do it like this, you need to put the variable on the outside of your function, to keep only one interval running at a time.
There is nothing wrong with using onload instead of a ready state from jQuery. But this belongs to you page setup and what you do. It would be more safe to rely on a ready state here, as told by others before. Because you already have a function, you could use it directly by $(bannerLoad);.
var delayAddOn;
function bannerLoad() {
delayAddOn = setInterval(function() {
if ($('.add-ons').hasClass('current')) {
if ($('.addons-sidebar.clearfix img').length < 1) {
$('.addons-container :last').append($('<img>', {
class: 'img-responsive',
src: 'https://www.abc.in/content/dam/abc/6e-website/banner/target/2018/06/abc.png'
}));
}
clearInterval(delayAddOn);
}
}, 100);
}
$(bannerLoad);
window.onclick = bannerLoad;

Javascript function not being executed in $(document).ready()

I have a function fillOpenOrders that I call via require. The function is then supposed to be called in $(document).ready() along with some other functions. The problem is that fillOpenOrders does not get called. It is ignored and other functions are executed normally.
I have a DataTable with Id of "mainTable. When i click on any row, the following code should be executed.
var functions = require("./functions");
var openOrdersT = require("./src/openOrders");
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#mainTable tr').on('click', function () {
var id = $(this).find('td:first').text();
document.getElementById("coin-name").innerHTML = id;
openOrdersT.fillOpenOrders();
functions.fillNavPrices();
widget.onChartReady(function () {
var chart = widget.activeChart();
chart.setSymbol(id);
});
});
});
Other functions (fillNavPrices etc.) are working normally.
What am I doing wrong?
Update
The code for openOrdersT looks like this.
module.exports{
fetchOO: function(){...},
fillOpenOrders: function(){
//It doesn't matter what is inside here. I tried with a simple alert or console.log function here.
//Function is meant to update a DataTable with new data.
}
}
Meanwhile fetchOO() works like expected.

jQuery global/local event execution order

I have a panel widget with a button. Clicking the button should execute some global actions related to all such widgets and after that execute some local actions related to this widget instance only. Global actions are binded in a separate javascript file by CSS class like this:
var App = function ()
{
var handleWidgetButton = function ()
{
$('.widgetBtn').on('click', function (e)
{
// do smth global
});
return {
init: function ()
{
handleWidgetButton();
}
};
}
}();
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
App.init();
});
And in the html file local script is like this:
$("#widgetBtn1234").click(function (e)
{
// do smth local
});
Currently local script is executed first and global only after while I want it to be the opposite. I tried to wrap local one also with document.ready and have it run after global but that doesn't seem to change the execution order. Is there any decent way to arrange global and local jQuery bindings to the same element?

The problem you're having comes from using jQuery's .ready() function to initialize App, while you seem to have no such wrapper in your local code. Try the following instead:
var App = function ()
{
var handleWidgetButton = function ()
{
$('.widgetBtn').on('click', function (e)
{
// do smth global
});
return {
init: function ()
{
handleWidgetButton();
}
};
}
}();
$(function()
{
App.init();
});
Then in your local JS:
$(function() {
$("#widgetBtn1234").click(function (e)
{
// do smth local
});
});
Note that $(function(){}) can be used as shorthand for $(document).ready(function(){});. Also, make sure your JS file is located before your local JS, as javascript runs sequentially.
Alternatively, you can use setTimeout() to ensure everything's loaded properly:
(function executeOnReady() {
setTimeout(function() {
// Set App.isInitialized = true in your App.init() function
if (App.isInitialized) runLocalJs();
// App.init() hasn't been called yet, so re-run this function
else executeOnReady();
}, 500);
})();
function runLocalJs() {
$("#widgetBtn1234").click(function (e)
{
// do smth local
});
};

How about this instead:
var widget = $("#widgetBtn1234").get(0);//get the vanilla dom element
var globalHandler = widget.onclick; //save old click handler
// clobber the old handler with a new handler, that calls the old handler when it's done
widget.onclick = function(e){
//do smth global by calling stored handler
globalHandler(e);
//afterward do smth local
};
There might be a more jqueryish way to write this, but I hope the concept works for you.
-------VVVV----keeping old answer for posterity----VVVV--------
Why not something like this?
var App = function ()
{
var handleWidgetButton = function ()
{
$('.widgetBtn').on('click', function (e)
{
// do smth global
if(this.id === 'widgetBtn1234'){
//do specific things for this one
}
});
return {
init: function ()
{
handleWidgetButton();
}
};
}
}();
Please excuse any syntax errors I might have made as I haven't actually tested this code.

Check out my simple JQ extension I created on jsbin.

It allows to call consequentially all defined personal click handlers after a global one, handle missed handlers case if necessary and easily reset all personal handlers.

Calling a function (ex. namespace.show) by name

I want to call a function with a namespace based on its name.
Perhaps some background: What I want is, dynamically bind pages via $.mobile.loadPage(inStrUrl, { showLoadMsg: false }); and then, based on the current page, invoke a function within a loaded page. For example: each page has a showFilter function, the Event is attached to a main.html - page which should call the matching function in the current page.
I also tried some solutions, with jquery too, but nothing works for me.
This is my function code:
function namespace() { }
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
And want to "invoke" or "call" it via its name.
This is what i tried at least.
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace.showFilter"];
fn();
});
I get error TypeError: fn is not a function
Here is a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/1/

You can call it in the following way:
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"]["showFilter"]();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"].showFilter();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});

I found that I had to manually set it to window.
window.namespace = function() { }
window.namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
};
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace"]["showFilter"];
fn();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/4/

Like this:
$(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});
P.S. I shortened the $(document).ready(...)

function namespace() {}
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = namespace.showFilter();
fn();
});

Function becomes undefined after first trigger

I have a block of code like so:
function doSomething() {
someVar.on("event_name", function() {
$('#elementId').click(function(e) {
doSomething();
});
});
}
// and on document ready
$(function () {
$('#anotherElemId').click(function () {
doSomething();
});
});
The problem that I'm encountering is that when I call doSomething() from anotherElemId click event(that is binded on document ready) it works as expected, but calling it recursively from elementId click doesn't work.
Any ideas? Thinking is something trivial that I'm missing.

Is someVar an actual jQuery reference to a dom element? (e.g. $('#someitem'))
The second problem is you cant put a .click event inside a function that you would like to instantiate later on. If you are trying to only allow #elementId to have a click event AFTER some previous event, try testing if a tester variable is true:
var activated = false;
$(function () {
$('#anotherElemId').click(function () {
activated = true;
});
$('#secondElemId').on("event_name", function() {
if (activated) {
// code that happens only after #anotherElemId was clicked.
}
});
});
