How do you add an onload event to an element?
Can I use:
<div onload="oQuickReply.swap();" ></div>
for this?
No, you can't. The easiest way to make it work would be to put the function call directly after the element
Example:
...
<div id="somid">Some content</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
oQuickReply.swap('somid');
</script>
...
or - even better - just in front of </body>:
...
<script type="text/javascript">
oQuickReply.swap('somid');
</script>
</body>
...so it doesn't block the following content from loading.
You can trigger some js automatically on an IMG element using onerror, and no src.
<img src onerror='alert()'>
The onload event can only be used on the document(body) itself, frames, images, and scripts. In other words, it can be attached to only body and/or each external resource. The div is not an external resource and it's loaded as part of the body, so the onload event doesn't apply there.
onload event it only supports with few tags like listed below.
<body>, <frame>, <iframe>, <img>, <input type="image">, <link>, <script>, <style>
Here the reference for onload event
Try this! And never use trigger twice on div!
You can define function to call before the div tag.
$(function(){
$('div[onload]').trigger('onload');
});
DEMO: jsfiddle
I just want to add here that if any one want to call a function on load event of div & you don't want to use jQuery(due to conflict as in my case) then simply call a function after all the html code or any other code you have written including the function code and
simply call a function .
/* All Other Code*/
-----
------
/* ----At the end ---- */
<script type="text/javascript">
function_name();
</script>
OR
/* All Other Code*/
-----
------
/* ----At the end ---- */
<script type="text/javascript">
function my_func(){
function definition;
}
my_func();
</script>
I needed to have some initialization code run after a chunk of html (template instance) was inserted, and of course I didn't have access to the code that manipulates the template and modifies the DOM. The same idea holds for any partial modification of the DOM by insertion of an html element, usually a <div>.
Some time ago, I did a hack with the onload event of a nearly invisible <img> contained in a <div>, but discovered that a scoped, empty style will also do:
<div .... >
<style scoped="scoped" onload="dosomethingto(this.parentElement);" > </style>
.....
</div>
Update(Jul 15 2017) -
The <style> onload is not supported in last version of IE. Edge does support it, but some users see this as a different browser and stick with IE. The <img> element seems to work better across all browsers.
<div...>
<img onLoad="dosomthing(this.parentElement);" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" />
...
</div>
To minimize the visual impact and resource usage of the image, use an inline src that keeps it small and transparent.
One comment I feel I need to make about using a <script>is how much harder it is to determine which <div> the script is near, especially in templating where you can't have an identical id in each instance that the template generates. I thought the answer might be document.currentScript, but this is not universally supported. A <script> element cannot determine its own DOM location reliably; a reference to 'this' points to the main window, and is of no help.
I believe it is necessary to settle for using an <img> element, despite being goofy. This might be a hole in the DOM/javascript framework that could use plugging.
Avoid using any interval-based methods (as they are not performant and accurate) and use MutationObserver targeting a parent div of dynamically loaded div for better efficiency.
Update: Here's a handy function I wrote. Use it like this:
onElementLoaded("div.some_class").then(()=>{}).catch(()=>{});
/**
*
* Wait for an HTML element to be loaded like `div`, `span`, `img`, etc.
* ex: `onElementLoaded("div.some_class").then(()=>{}).catch(()=>{})`
* #param {*} elementToObserve wait for this element to load
* #param {*} parentStaticElement (optional) if parent element is not passed then `document` is used
* #return {*} Promise - return promise when `elementToObserve` is loaded
*/
function onElementLoaded(elementToObserve, parentStaticElement) {
const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
try {
if (document.querySelector(elementToObserve)) {
console.log(`element already present: ${elementToObserve}`);
resolve(true);
return;
}
const parentElement = parentStaticElement
? document.querySelector(parentStaticElement)
: document;
const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationList, obsrvr) => {
const divToCheck = document.querySelector(elementToObserve);
if (divToCheck) {
console.log(`element loaded: ${elementToObserve}`);
obsrvr.disconnect(); // stop observing
resolve(true);
}
});
// start observing for dynamic div
observer.observe(parentElement, {
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
reject(Error("some issue... promise rejected"));
}
});
return promise;
}
Implementation details:
HTML:
<div class="parent-static-div">
<div class="dynamic-loaded-div">
this div is loaded after DOM ready event
</div>
</div>
JS:
var observer = new MutationObserver(function (mutationList, obsrvr) {
var div_to_check = document.querySelector(".dynamic-loaded-div"); //get div by class
// var div_to_check = document.getElementById('div-id'); //get div by id
console.log("checking for div...");
if (div_to_check) {
console.log("div is loaded now"); // DO YOUR STUFF!
obsrvr.disconnect(); // stop observing
return;
}
});
var parentElement = document.querySelector("parent-static-div"); // use parent div which is already present in DOM to maximise efficiency
// var parentElement = document // if not sure about parent div then just use whole 'document'
// start observing for dynamic div
observer.observe(parentElement, {
// for properties details: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObserverInit
childList: true,
subtree: true,
});
we can use MutationObserver to solve the problem in efficient way adding a sample code below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
#second{
position: absolute;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #a1a1a1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="first"></div>
<script>
var callthis = function(element){
element.setAttribute("tabIndex",0);
element.focus();
element.onkeydown = handler;
function handler(){
alert("called")
}
}
var observer = new WebKitMutationObserver(function(mutations) {
mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
for (var i = 0; i < mutation.addedNodes.length; i++)
if(mutation.addedNodes[i].id === "second"){
callthis(mutation.addedNodes[i]);
}
})
});
observer.observe(document.getElementById("first"), { childList: true });
var ele = document.createElement('div');
ele.id = "second"
document.getElementById("first").appendChild(ele);
</script>
</body>
</html>
In November 2019, I am seeking a way to create a (hypothetical) onparse EventListener for <elements> which don't take onload.
The (hypothetical) onparse EventListener must be able to listen for when an element is parsed.
Third Attempt (and Definitive Solution)
I was pretty happy with the Second Attempt below, but it just struck me that I can make the code shorter and simpler, by creating a tailor-made event:
let parseEvent = new Event('parse');
This is the best solution yet.
The example below:
Creates a tailor-made parse Event
Declares a function (which can be run at window.onload or any time) which:
Finds any elements in the document which include the attribute data-onparse
Attaches the parse EventListener to each of those elements
Dispatches the parse Event to each of those elements to execute the Callback
Working Example:
// Create (homemade) parse event
let parseEvent = new Event('parse');
// Create Initialising Function which can be run at any time
const initialiseParseableElements = () => {
// Get all the elements which need to respond to an onparse event
let elementsWithParseEventListener = document.querySelectorAll('[data-onparse]');
// Attach Event Listeners and Dispatch Events
elementsWithParseEventListener.forEach((elementWithParseEventListener) => {
elementWithParseEventListener.addEventListener('parse', updateParseEventTarget, false);
elementWithParseEventListener.dataset.onparsed = elementWithParseEventListener.dataset.onparse;
elementWithParseEventListener.removeAttribute('data-onparse');
elementWithParseEventListener.dispatchEvent(parseEvent);
});
}
// Callback function for the Parse Event Listener
const updateParseEventTarget = (e) => {
switch (e.target.dataset.onparsed) {
case ('update-1') : e.target.textContent = 'My First Updated Heading'; break;
case ('update-2') : e.target.textContent = 'My Second Updated Heading'; break;
case ('update-3') : e.target.textContent = 'My Third Updated Heading'; break;
case ('run-oQuickReply.swap()') : e.target.innerHTML = 'This <code><div></code> is now loaded and the function <code>oQuickReply.swap()</code> will run...'; break;
}
}
// Run Initialising Function
initialiseParseableElements();
let dynamicHeading = document.createElement('h3');
dynamicHeading.textContent = 'Heading Text';
dynamicHeading.dataset.onparse = 'update-3';
setTimeout(() => {
// Add new element to page after time delay
document.body.appendChild(dynamicHeading);
// Re-run Initialising Function
initialiseParseableElements();
}, 3000);
div {
width: 300px;
height: 40px;
padding: 12px;
border: 1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);
}
h3 {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
<h2 data-onparse="update-1">My Heading</h2>
<h2 data-onparse="update-2">My Heading</h2>
<div data-onparse="run-oQuickReply.swap()">
This div hasn't yet loaded and nothing will happen.
</div>
Second Attempt
The First Attempt below (based on #JohnWilliams' brilliant Empty Image Hack) used a hardcoded <img /> and worked.
I thought it ought to be possible to remove the hardcoded <img /> entirely and only dynamically insert it after detecting, in an element which needed to fire an onparse event, an attribute like:
data-onparse="run-oQuickReply.swap()"
It turns out, this works very well indeed.
The example below:
Finds any elements in the document which include the attribute data-onparse
Dynamically generates an <img src /> and appends it to the document, immediately after each of those elements
Fires the onerror EventListener when the rendering engine parses each <img src />
Executes the Callback and removes that dynamically generated <img src /> from the document
Working Example:
// Get all the elements which need to respond to an onparse event
let elementsWithParseEventListener = document.querySelectorAll('[data-onparse]');
// Dynamically create and position an empty <img> after each of those elements
elementsWithParseEventListener.forEach((elementWithParseEventListener) => {
let emptyImage = document.createElement('img');
emptyImage.src = '';
elementWithParseEventListener.parentNode.insertBefore(emptyImage, elementWithParseEventListener.nextElementSibling);
});
// Get all the empty images
let parseEventTriggers = document.querySelectorAll('img[src=""]');
// Callback function for the EventListener below
const updateParseEventTarget = (e) => {
let parseEventTarget = e.target.previousElementSibling;
switch (parseEventTarget.dataset.onparse) {
case ('update-1') : parseEventTarget.textContent = 'My First Updated Heading'; break;
case ('update-2') : parseEventTarget.textContent = 'My Second Updated Heading'; break;
case ('run-oQuickReply.swap()') : parseEventTarget.innerHTML = 'This <code><div></code> is now loaded and the function <code>oQuickReply.swap()</code> will run...'; break;
}
// Remove empty image
e.target.remove();
}
// Add onerror EventListener to all the empty images
parseEventTriggers.forEach((parseEventTrigger) => {
parseEventTrigger.addEventListener('error', updateParseEventTarget, false);
});
div {
width: 300px;
height: 40px;
padding: 12px;
border: 1px solid rgb(191, 191, 191);
}
<h2 data-onparse="update-1">My Heading</h2>
<h2 data-onparse="update-2">My Heading</h2>
<div data-onparse="run-oQuickReply.swap()">
This div hasn't yet loaded and nothing will happen.
</div>
First Attempt
I can build on #JohnWilliams' <img src> hack (on this page, from 2017) - which is, so far, the best approach I have come across.
The example below:
Fires the onerror EventListener when the rendering engine parses <img src />
Executes the Callback and removes the <img src /> from the document
Working Example:
let myHeadingLoadEventTrigger = document.getElementById('my-heading-load-event-trigger');
const updateHeading = (e) => {
let myHeading = e.target.previousElementSibling;
if (true) { // <= CONDITION HERE
myHeading.textContent = 'My Updated Heading';
}
// Modern alternative to document.body.removeChild(e.target);
e.target.remove();
}
myHeadingLoadEventTrigger.addEventListener('error', updateHeading, false);
<h2>My Heading</h2>
<img id="my-heading-load-event-trigger" src />
use an iframe and hide it iframe works like a body tag
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe style="display:none" onload="myFunction()" src="http://www.w3schools.com"></iframe>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Iframe is loaded.";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Since the onload event is only supported on a few elements, you have to use an alternate method.
You can use a MutationObserver for this:
const trackElement = element => {
let present = false;
const checkIfPresent = () => {
if (document.body.contains(element)) {
if (!present) {
console.log('in DOM:', element);
}
present = true;
} else if (present) {
present = false;
console.log('Not in DOM');
}
};
const observer = new MutationObserver(checkIfPresent);
observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true });
checkIfPresent();
return observer;
};
const element = document.querySelector('#element');
const add = () => document.body.appendChild(element);
const remove = () => element.remove();
trackElement(element);
<button onclick="add()">Add</button>
<button onclick="remove()">Remove</button>
<div id="element">Element</div>
we can use all these tags with onload
<body>, <frame>, <frameset>, <iframe>, <img>, <input type="image">, <link>, <script> and <style>
eg:
function loadImage() {
alert("Image is loaded");
}
<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/tags/w3html.gif" onload="loadImage()" width="100" height="132">
I really like the YUI3 library for this sort of thing.
<div id="mydiv"> ... </div>
<script>
YUI().use('node-base', function(Y) {
Y.on("available", someFunction, '#mydiv')
})
See: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/event/#onavailable
This is very simple solution and 100% working.
Just load an <img> tag inside the div or at last line of div, if you think you want to execute javascript, after loading all data in div.
As <img> tag supports onload event, so you can easily call javascript here like below:
<div>
<img onLoad="alert('Problem Solved');" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" />
</div>
This above image will show only a single Dot(.), which you even cant see normally.
Try it.
First to answer your question: No, you can't, not directly like you wanted to do so.
May be a bit late to answer, but this is my solution, without jQuery, pure javascript.
It was originally written to apply a resize function to textareas after DOM is loaded and on keyup.
Same way you could use it to do something with (all) divs or only one, if specified, like so:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var divs = document.querySelectorAll('div'); // all divs
var mydiv = document.getElementById('myDiv'); // only div#myDiv
divs.forEach( div => {
do_something_with_all_divs(div);
});
do_something_with_mydiv(mydiv);
});
If you really need to do something with a div, loaded after the DOM is loaded, e.g. after an ajax call, you could use a very helpful hack, which is easy to understand an you'll find it ...working-with-elements-before-the-dom-is-ready.... It says "before the DOM is ready" but it works brillant the same way, after an ajax insertion or js-appendChild-whatever of a div. Here's the code, with some tiny changes to my needs.
css
.loaded { // I use only class loaded instead of a nodename
animation-name: nodeReady;
animation-duration: 0.001s;
}
#keyframes nodeReady {
from { clip: rect(1px, auto, auto, auto); }
to { clip: rect(0px, auto, auto, auto); }
}
javascript
document.addEventListener("animationstart", function(event) {
var e = event || window.event;
if (e.animationName == "nodeReady") {
e.target.classList.remove('loaded');
do_something_else();
}
}, false);
I am learning javascript and jquery and was going through all the answer,
i faced same issue when calling javascript function for loading div element.
I tried $('<divid>').ready(function(){alert('test'}) and it worked for me. I want to know is this good way to perform onload call on div element in the way i did using jquery selector.
thanks
As all said, you cannot use onLoad event on a DIV instead but it before body tag.
but in case you have one footer file and include it in many pages. it's better to check first if the div you want is on that page displayed, so the code doesn't executed in the pages that doesn't contain that DIV to make it load faster and save some time for your application.
so you will need to give that DIV an ID and do:
var myElem = document.getElementById('myElementId');
if (myElem !== null){ put your code here}
I had the same question and was trying to get a Div to load a scroll script, using onload or load. The problem I found was that it would always work before the Div could open, not during or after, so it wouldn't really work.
Then I came up with this as a work around.
<body>
<span onmouseover="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);"
onmouseout="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);">
<div id="">
</div>
Link to open Div
</span>
</body>
I placed the Div inside a Span and gave the Span two events, a mouseover and a mouseout. Then below that Div, I placed a link to open the Div, and gave that link an event for onclick. All events the exact same, to make the page scroll down to bottom of page. Now when the button to open the Div is clicked, the page will jump down part way, and the Div will open above the button, causing the mouseover and mouseout events to help push the scroll down script. Then any movement of the mouse at that point will push the script one last time.
You could use an interval to check for it until it loads like this:
https://codepen.io/pager/pen/MBgGGM
let checkonloadDoSomething = setInterval(() => {
let onloadDoSomething = document.getElementById("onloadDoSomething");
if (onloadDoSomething) {
onloadDoSomething.innerHTML="Loaded"
clearInterval(checkonloadDoSomething);
} else {`enter code here`
console.log("Waiting for onloadDoSomething to load");
}
}, 100);
When you load some html from server and insert it into DOM tree you can use DOMSubtreeModified however it is deprecated - so you can use MutationObserver or just detect new content inside loadElement function directly so you will don't need to wait for DOM events
var ignoreFirst=0;
var observer = (new MutationObserver((m, ob)=>
{
if(ignoreFirst++>0) {
console.log('Element add on', new Date());
}
}
)).observe(content, {childList: true, subtree:true });
// simulate element loading
var tmp=1;
function loadElement(name) {
setTimeout(()=>{
console.log(`Element ${name} loaded`)
content.innerHTML += `<div>My name is ${name}</div>`;
},1500*tmp++)
};
loadElement('Michael');
loadElement('Madonna');
loadElement('Shakira');
<div id="content"><div>
You can attach an event listener as below. It will trigger whenever the div having selector #my-id loads completely to DOM.
$(document).on('EventName', '#my-id', function() {
// do something
});
Inthis case EventName may be 'load' or 'click'
https://api.jquery.com/on/#on-events-selector-data-handler
Here is a trick that worked for me,
you just need to put your div inside a body element
<body>
<!-- Some code here -->
<body onload="alert('Hello World')">
<div ></div>
</body>
<!-- other lines of code -->
</body>
Use the body.onload event instead, either via attribute (<body onload="myFn()"> ...) or by binding an event in Javascript. This is extremely common with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
doSomething($('#myDiv'));
});
You cannot add event onload on div, but you can add onkeydown and trigger onkeydown event on document load
$(function ()
{
$(".ccsdvCotentPS").trigger("onkeydown");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div onkeydown="setCss( );"> </div>`
Try this.
document.getElementById("div").onload = alert("This is a div.");
<div id="div">Hello World</div>
Try this one too. You need to remove . from oQuickReply.swap() to make the function working.
document.getElementById("div").onload = oQuickReplyswap();
function oQuickReplyswap() {
alert("Hello World");
}
<div id="div"></div>
I have a list of featured products which I get through an API call, with the title and the icon displayed in the list. All the products also have images (which I also get through the same API call)
I want the image to not display when the icon is not active, but to display when the icon is active. Not sure how I get to display that specific image when the icon to that product is active.
(kinda new into coding, so sorry if this is a weird question)
export function featuredProducts(products)
const featuredProductsContainer = document.querySelector(".featured-products_list");
featuredProductsContainer.innerHTML = "";
for (let i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
console.log(products[i]);
if (products[i].featured) {
featuredProductsContainer.innerHTML +=
`<li class="featured-products">
<p>${products[i].title}<i class="far fa-flag" data-name="${products[i].title}"></i></p></li>
<img src="http://localhost:1337${products[i].image.url}" class="${products[i].title}"
height="300" width="300" style="display: none;">`;
}
}
const flag = document.querySelectorAll(".featured-products i");
flag.forEach(function(icon) {
icon.addEventListener("click", clicked);
});
function clicked(event) {
event.target.classList.toggle("fas"); //active
event.target.classList.toggle("far"); //unactive
}
}
TL;DR You'll want to add css to hide/show the images (As #barmar answered above).
I will propose a slightly different approach, which is toggling the classes on the images directly, to avoid a more complex rearrangement of the markup and gigantic css selectors.
But first, to make it easier, you should place the img tags inside their li, not beside them.
So, first, let's move the closing li tag to the end, after the img. Note I'm also removing the inline style of style="display: none;".
for (let i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
console.log(products[i]);
if (products[i].featured) {
featuredProductsContainer.innerHTML +=
`<li class="featured-products">
<p>${products[i].title}<i class="far fa-flag" data-name="${products[i].title}"></i></p>
<img src="http://localhost:1337${products[i].image.url}" class="${products[i].title}"
height="300" width="300"></li>`;
}
}
Then, in your click handler, let's do something different:
function clicked(event) {
// remove all active classes
const $imgs = document.querySelectorAll('.fas')
$imgs.forEach(i => i.classList.toggle('fas'))
// add active class to targeting img
const $img = event.target.closest('li.featured-products').querySelector('img')
$img.classList.toggle("fas")
$img.classList.toggle("far");
}
Lastly, modified from from #barmar
.featured-products img.fas {
display: block;
}
.featured-products img.far {
display: none;
}
You can do this with CSS. Since your event listener toggles the far and fas classes, use CSS selectors that match an img inside those containers.
.featured-products.fas img {
display: block;
}
.featured-products.far img {
display: none;
}
There are many ways to go about this, a lot depends on what triggers the active state of the icon.
if it's any kind of input and you can keep the data in the same container then all you need to do Is add an "active" css class to the parent. This is the most performant way as you keep reads, writes and any reflows to a minimum.
Just add a general rule in in your css for the active class:
.active img { visibility: visible; }
If the images are in a separate element, you can add a dataset custom property to the icon in your html. With a value you can use in Javascript.
I. e.
<img id="icon" dataset-foo="imgContainer">
and in JS
var imgContainer = document.getElementById(icon.dataset.foo)
imgContainer.classList.add("active")
You can wrap it in a function and maybe save any references in an object. This way it's easy to keep track of any data and have very readable code.
I have multiple divs that when clicked adds a border and scales them up a little. I am looping through all elements using foreach and on click i remove every element's border and scale property except the clicked element, to which i add a border and scale.
My code is completely logical and is supposed to work but for some reason i cant seem to grasp, it only applies the styles to clicked elements but not removing from the rest of the elements (like my code says it should).
JS
document.querySelectorAll('.projcolorpick div').forEach(el => {
el.onclick = (e) => {
el.style.border = "none"
el.style.transform = "scale(1)"
e.target.style.border = "2px solid #fff"
e.target.style.transform = "scale(1.2)"
projcolor = e.target.style.background
}
})
}
give something like this a try... each element needs an id attribute for this to work (the filter part - if there is a unique attribute...)
const list = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.projcolorpick div'));
list.forEach(el => {
el.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
//code that affects the element you click on
el.style.border = "2px solid #fff"
el.style.transform = "scale(1.2)"
projcolor = e.target.style.background;
list.filter(x=>x.id!=el.id).forEach(otherEl=>{
//code that affects the other elements you didn't click on
otherEl.style.border = "none"
otherEl.style.transform = "scale(1)"
});
});
});
```
edit:
fixed some typos.
forEach only applies to Arrays unless you configure it otherwise.
querySelectorAll does not return arrays, but array-like objects (NodeLists)
To allow looping over NodeLists, add the following code:
if (window.NodeList && !NodeList.prototype.forEach) {
NodeList.prototype.forEach = Array.prototype.forEach;
}
var nL = document.querySelectorAll('*');
console.log(nL instanceof NodeList); // true
You don't really need an id attribute on each div and I would advocate using class-assignments instead of changing their individual attributes. You can compare the actual DOM elements with each other like c==ev.target, as you can see in my code below:
// === populate the page first ... ============================= START =
const cont=document.getElementById('container');
cont.innerHTML=
[...Array(3)].map(cp=>'<div class="projcolorpick">'+
[...Array(8)].map(d=>{
let hsl= "hsl("+Math.floor(Math.random()*360)+",100%,80%)";
return ' <div style="background-color:'+hsl+'">'+hsl+'</div>'}).join('\n')
+'</div>').join('\n');
// === populate the page first ... =============================== END =
// now, do the action:
cont.onclick=ev=>{
if ( ev.target.parentNode.classList.contains('projcolorpick')
&& ev.target.tagName=='DIV'){
[...ev.target.parentNode.children].forEach(c=>c.classList.toggle('selected',c==ev.target));
ev.target.parentNode.style.backgroundColor=ev.target.textContent;
}
}
.projcolorpick {border: 2px solid #888}
.selected {border: 2px solid #fff; transform:scale(1.2);}
div {margin:6px; padding:4px}
.projcolorpick div {width:200px; height:20px}
<div id="container"></div>
The action happens here:
cont.onclick=ev=>{
if ( ev.target.parentNode.classList.contains('projcolorpick')
&& ev.target.tagName=='DIV'){
[...ev.target.parentNode.children].forEach(c=>c.classList.toggle('selected',c==ev.target));
ev.target.parentNode.style.backgroundColor=ev.target.textContent;
}
}
I use a delegated event-attachment to the parent .container div. The first if statements makes sure that only clicks on .projcolorpick>div elements are processed.
If you want to include more than one generation between them you need to use something like ev.target.closest('.projcolorpick') instead ...
Now, inside the if block two things happen:
Using toggle() on all DOM elements in ev.target.parentNode.children the class "selected" is either
assigned or
removed.
The text found in the clicked div is applied as background-color to the parent .projcolorpick container.
I'm currently in the process of trying to develop a smarter UI for one of my clients. However the only code I can use to develop this 'feature', is pure JS. I have no access to the source HTML or CSS files the only access I have is the ability to inject JavaScript through an external .js file.
I'm not too familiar with JS, but I can work my way around a basic script or two.
Scenario
What we're doing is allowing users to edit PDF Templates online using a software called Core Create. The UI accessed through the browser is quite cluttered and I would like to provide an option to hide and show UI elements <textareas>/<inputs> through the use of checkboxes.
Here is a very basic JS Fiddle that I have built with the
intention of hiding and displaying UI.
The page in question
Above is a screen grab of the page I am working with, on the left you can see the UI and its composition on the right within the 'Inspect Element' tool.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to iterate through the highlighted selection and link them accordingly with seven checkboxes. The result would then be a selection of checkboxes that would hide / display the correct UI element.
The Caveat
In realizing I cannot edit or introduce new HTML I noticed the lack of on-click attributes. So I'm a bit lost on how to invoke the JavaScript I will eventually build.
My Question
With my limited knowledge of JS I don't know how I would iterate though div elements editoraccvar - editoraccvar6 picking out the ones I need to manipulate.
Due to the lack of ID's / Names (I assume it would have to be done using Parent/Child rules somehow, as the classes are widley used by the rest of the UI. I would appreciate a small example demonstrating how I could achieve this, so I can learn from it.
I should clarify, I have already added the checkboxes to the page, I just need to build the JS link between the Checkbox and the UI element I'm attempting to target. You can find all attributes linking to these checkboxes included in the JS Fiddle.
EDIT // A Working Simplified Example;
Due to some confusion I have 'frankensteined' some code together to show the final result I am after. A working example of sorts. The actual result needs to target 7 Checkboxes and 7 Divisions. I'll list thier common properties below.
// This script is already in place and constructed by the system.
// Written inside script tags and located straight after 'editopt1'.
// $(document).ready(function() {
// $('#checkboxopt1').click(function() {
// if ($('#checkboxopt1').val() == 'true') {
// $('#opt1').val('false');
// $('#checkboxopt1').val('false');
// $('#checkboxopt1').prop('checked', false);
// $('#previewrefresh').trigger('click');
// } else {
// $('#opt1').val('true');
// $('#checkboxopt1').val('true');
// $('#checkboxopt1').prop('checked', true);
// $('#previewrefresh').trigger('click');
// };
// });
// });
function exFunction() {
// Check the function is called
console.log("200 : OK");
// grab all elements with the class, .field-summernote
var uiblocks = document.querySelectorAll('.field-summernote');
for (var i = 0; i < uiblocks.length; i++) {
var current = uiblocks[i];
if (current.className.indexOf('editoraccvar') < 0) //not found: -1
return;
// check elements in the array
console.log(current);
// control the elemets in the array.
if (document.getElementById('checkboxopt1').checked) {
uiblocks[0].style.display = 'block'; // display the element
} else {
uiblocks[0].style.display = 'none'; // hide the element
}
}
};
// Trigger the collection the check, and the control.
var x = document.getElementById("checkboxopt1");
x.addEventListener("click", function() {
console.log("Opt");
exFunction();
});
.editoraccvar1 {
width: 300px;
background: #0ff;
padding: .5em;
}
.editoropt1 {
width: 300px;
background: #ff0;
padding: .5em;
}
textarea {
display: block;
width: 95%;
resize: none;
padding: .5em;
}
<!-- I'm trying to hide & show this entire division... -->
<div class="seq-box-form-field field-summernote editoraccvar1 ">
<label for="accvar1">Ground Floor Info</label>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<textarea id="richaccvar1" name="richaccvar1" class="summernote"></textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="accvar1" id="accvar1" value="" />
</div>
<!-- Using only what the system has supplied. -->
<div class="seq-box-form-field editoropt1 ">
<label for="opt1"><span style="padding-right: 10px; vertical-align: 1px;">Ground Floor </span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxopt1" id="checkboxopt1" value="true" checked="true" />
<input type="hidden" name="opt1" id="opt1" value="true" />
</label>
</div>
Divisions <div class=""></div>
* editoraccvar,
editoraccvar1,
editoraccvar2,
editoraccvar3,
editoraccvar4,

Checkboxes <input id=""></input>

As far as I can see, your problem boils down to link checkboxes (that seem to have been generated in some way) to "division" parts of your html that you want to hide. Plus, you have to inject javascript code in the page (so I guess the less code the better).
One approach could be as follows:
// Wrap the code in an anonymus function, to avoid clustering the global space.
(function (domElements) {
// This is the callback that will fire when a checkbox is clicked.
function clickCallback() {
// the context of this callback is the DOM element thus we can access its attributes through this.
// extract the checkNumber of the class of the element. This number is the link to the division that we want to hide/show.
var checkNumber = ((/ editoropt(\d*) /).exec(this.className))[1],
checkBox = document.getElementById('checkboxopt' + checkNumber),
division = document.querySelectorAll('.editoraccvar' + checkNumber)[0];
// Hide/show division, update checkBox state.
toggleElements(division, checkBox, window.getComputedStyle(division).display === 'none');
}
function toggleElements(division, checkBox, isShown) {
// Toggle the division (show/hide) accordingly.
division.style.display = isShown ? 'block' : 'none';
// Due to the fact that the event listener is attached to the parent of the checkBox, we need to maintain consistency manually.
checkBox.checked = isShown;
}
// Remove from the array of DOMElements those that aren't checkboxes and add a click event listener to each of them.
domElements
.filter(function (el) {
return el.className.indexOf('editoropt') !== -1;
})
.forEach(function (el) {
el.addEventListener('click', clickCallback, false);
});
// Call the function passing the dom elements with class '.seq-box-form-field' as argument. Checkboxes are contained within them. Also, transform the nodelist
// into a proper array so that methods defined in Array.prototype can be used.
})([].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.seq-box-form-field')));
The code is commented and (I think) quite self-explanatory. However, if you have any doubt or want me to elaborate any point further, please, let me know.
Finally, here's the working fiddle.
UPDATE
Same function (more or less) but now it accepts an array of values that will correspond to the initial state of the checkboxes:
(function (domElements, cbState) {
function clickCallback() {
toggleElements(this.className);
}
function toggleElements(className, initialShow) {
var checkNumber = ((/ editoropt(\d*) /).exec(className))[1],
checkBox = document.getElementById('checkboxopt' + checkNumber),
division = document.querySelectorAll('.editoraccvar' + checkNumber)[0],
isShown = initialShow === undefined ? window.getComputedStyle(division).display === 'none' : initialShow;
division.style.display = isShown ? 'block' : 'none';
checkBox.checked = isShown;
}
domElements
.filter(function (el) {
return el.className.indexOf('editoropt') !== -1;
})
.forEach(function (el, index) {
el.addEventListener('click', clickCallback, false);
toggleElements(el.className, cbState[index]);
});
// Initial state of the checkboxes goes in the second parameter. The index in the array correspond to the checkbox position in the page.
})([].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.seq-box-form-field')), [false, false]);
Here's the Fiddle to play with. Hope it helps.
The other half of your problem, not addressed in the other answer has to do with events. Generally, adding an "onclick" attribute to the actual HTML is considered bad practice. You can attach event handlers with Javascript.
var a = document.getElementById("checkboxopt1");
a.addEventListener("click", exFunction, false);
See the manual for more info about how to use this.
Looks like that you need the elements that have the class "field-summernote", but not the class "editorbdyvar".
You can use a query selector to get elements by class name using the default tools from Javascript:
var items = document.querySelectorAll('.field-summernote');
for(var i = 0; i<items.length; i++){
var current = items[i];
if( current.className.indexOf('editoraccvar') < 0) //not found: -1
return;
//now you can manipulate the current element
console.log(current);
}
well ... you should either learn javascript, DOM, HTML and CSS or hire an somebody that can do it.
in my opinion the latter would come cheaper.
if not,
here goes something to put in your script.js file.
the checkboxes must have the id="toggleTextareas" respectively id="toggleInputs".
(function isolateScope() {
tryInit();
function tryInit() {
if(document.readyState!="complete"){
setTimeout(tryInit, 100);
}else{
createUI();
init();
}
}
function createUI(){
var div=document.createElement("div");
div.className="addon-floating-toolbar"
div.style.position="fixed";
div.style.zIndex="999999";
div.style.background="#EEE";
div.style.padding="5px";
div.innerHTML='<input type="checkbox" id="toggleTextareas">toggle Textareas<br>'
+'<input type="checkbox" id="toggleInputs">toggle Inputs';
document.body.appendChild(div);
}
function init() {
var tta=document.getElementById("toggleTextareas");
var ti=document.getElementById("toggleInputs");
var textareaVisible=true;
var inputVisible=true;
tta.onclick=toggleTextareas;
ti.onclick=toggleInputs;
function toggleTextareas() {
var elms=document.querySelectorAll("textarea");
textareaVisible=!textareaVisible;
if (textareaVisible) {
show(elms);
}else{
hide(elms);
}
}
function toggleInputs() {
var elms=document.querySelectorAll("input");
inputVisible=!inputVisible;
if (inputVisible) {
show(elms);
}else{
hide(elms);
}
}
function show(collection) {
for (var i = 0; i < collection.length; i++) {
collection[i].style.display="";
}
}
function hide(collection) {
for (var i = 0; i < collection.length; i++) {
collection[i].style.display="none";
}
}
}
})();
let me know if it works,
cheers.
You can traverse all your fields and generate a checkbox that will toggle it open/close for each of your fields. Also set the checkbox label as innerText of the corresponding field.
// Block to be run
generateCheckboxes = function() {
var button = document.getElementById("generateButton");
button.parentNode.removeChild(button);
// grab all elements with the class, .field-summernote
var uiblocks = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.field-summernote')).filter(function(x) {
return x.className.indexOf('editoraccvar') >= 0
});
if (!uiblocks.length) return;
var chcontainer = document.createElement('div');
chcontainer.style.display = "inline-block";
document.body.insertBefore(chcontainer, document.body.children[0]);
uiblocks.forEach(function(x) {
var cdiv = document.createElement('div');
var clabel = document.createElement('label');
clabel.innerHTML = x.innerText.trim();
var cinput = document.createElement('input');
cinput.type = 'checkbox';
cinput.checked = true;
cinput.onchange = function(ev) {
var checked = this.checked;
x.style.display = checked ? "" : "none";
}
cdiv.appendChild(clabel);
cdiv.appendChild(cinput);
cdiv.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
chcontainer.appendChild(cdiv);
})
};
#container {
width: 150px;
}
input {
float: left;
}
label {
width: 120px;
display: block;
float: right;
text-align: left;
}
<button onclick="generateCheckboxes()" id="generateButton">Generate Checkboxes</button>
<div id="example" class="field-summernote editoraccvar">
<br/>
<br/>
<span>Zero</span>
<br/>
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
<div id="example1" class="field-summernote editoraccvar1">
<br/>
<br/>
<span>One</span>
<br/>
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
<div id="example2" class="field-summernote">
<br/>
<br/>
<span>Two</span>
<br/>
<textarea></textarea>
</div>
