How to use multiple handlers in jquery function - javascript

I have some code I am working on and I cannot seem to figure out the terms to search for assistance.
I am trying to add a jquery statement that executes when the #quickSearchResults_section is clicked "AND" when #nav-input is focused out.
So in a nutshell, I am still learning jquery and programming logic and want to use click function and focusout.
<script>
$(":not(#quickSearchResults_section)").click(function(){
$("#quickSearchResults_section").hide();
});
</script>

Try something like this:
$("#nav-input").on("blur", function(){
$("#quickSearchResults_section").click(function(){
$("#quickSearchResults_section").hide();
});
});

JQuery click() event listener not working

im trying to get a lil project going but im stuck on a very annoying thing.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(console.log('hello'))
});
as you can see im targeting a search button with the id search-button and as soon as i click it something should happen. in this case i put a console.log in to test if it works but it doesn't. it always logs it as soon as i load the page , not when i click the button i target. ... what am i doing wrong
if you need more info on this pls tell me i tried to keep it as simple as i could
ty for your help
O.k
The click handler needs a function argument, not just the console.log by itself. Try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(function() {
console.log('hello');
});
});
Inside of .click should be a handler .click(handler) and the handler should be a function. The browser is reading the code and when it hits console.log('hello'), it does it! It's seeing .click etc, but it doesn't matter; it next sees console.log and does it.
Try
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#search-button").click(function() {
console.log('hello');
});
});
As others have mentioned, the click function requires its own callback function. You can also use this, without requiring the use of document:
$("#search-button").on('click', function() {
console.log('hello')
})
I hope You're using jQuery version 3 or up. if you use 3 or up jquery version the good practice is you use Document binding Example:
jQuery(document).on('click', '#search-button', function(event) {
//your Code here...
console.log('hello');
});

jQuery hover firing without mouse over

I have an element with id=message1mark. The following code will run the two alerts when the page loads regardless of the position on the mouse. Any help would be appreciated.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#message1mark").hover(alert("on"), alert("off"));
});
</script>
You need to wrap those alerts in functions:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#message1mark").hover(function(){alert("on");}, function(){alert("off");});
});
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/eJzKr/
What you tried would be interpreted as
try to call a function (which is why alert() is executed at the time of binding
and bind its result as a handler (which is nothing in this case)
$("#message1mark").hover(function(){
alert("on")
}, function(){
alert("off")
});
});
The correct way is:
jQuery("#message1mark").hover(function() {
alert("on");
},
function() {
alert("off"))
};
});
I believe that the alert() function fires automatically on each page. So even though you've tried to make it dependent on the hover function, it doesn't care.
It sounds like what you want is fundamentally a tooltip functionality. Some of the techniques listed in these resources might be a better way to approach things.
http://jquery.bassistance.de/tooltip/demo/
http://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/jquery/PopupOnHover.html
Instead of writing in two different functions you can include in one function itself. Below is the code for reference.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#message1mark").hover(function(){alert("on");alert("off");});
});

Why i can not trigger the jquery function?

This is a button to close the click but it fail and not work. I would like to know what is the tab ID since i did not think i assign one when i create a tab.
Thank you.
This is my attempt
js
$("#closeTab").click(function() {
window.parent.$('#tt').tabs('close','Create List');
});
html
<input type="button" id="closeTab" value="Cancel" class="submit"/>
I found my js code is working but the button can not trigger it? Why? thank you
latest try:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#addlist").validate();
});
$(function(){
$("#closeTab").click(function() {
window.parent.$('#tt').tabs('close','Create List');
});
});
</script>
It still doesn't work so i think it is because the upper function ? How to fix this?
================================================================================
Also, are there any ways to clear my session in using this jquery function (what should i add for instance)?**Thanks
With javascript, you have to delay the execution of certain functions (like event handlers) until the page loads fully. Otherwise, it is attempting to bind a function to an element that doesn't yet exist. With jQuery, you can pass a function to jQuery to be executed on page load very easily like this:
$(function(){ /* code goes here */ });
So to use this with your code, you would do this:
$(function(){
$("#closeTab").click(function() {
window.parent.$('#tt').tabs('close','Create List');
});
});
This way, when the jQuery attempts to bind the function to #closeTab, it happens after the page has loaded (and after #closeTab exists).
Do you have any errors in the console?
Do you include jQuery before that click binding?
Try changing the window.parent.... to alert('clicked!'); and make sure you're actually getting there.
Also, make sure the click binding is inside of a:
$(document).ready(function(){
// here
});
A script can close only the windows it creates. It cannot close the tab which it didn't create.
To rephrase, cannot close tab only if unless but when created tab by script which is same that close window.
I hope this makes sense.
Maybe the form is submitted and the browser navigates to another URL before the code could run? Try replacing function() with function(e) and adding e.preventDefault(); to the beginning of the event handler.

applying script to elements inserted via jquery .html()

i'm kinda new to scripting so this might be a bit basic, but i couldn't find an answer anywhere.
To improve my webpage loading time I made some HTML element load (via AJAX) and inserted only when a certain button is clicked, using the jquery .html() function.
That worked, but now all the jquery commands which referred to that element don't seem to apply. I'm guessing it's because the original commands were loaded before the new HTML?
For example, code like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myButton').click(function(){
$('#placeHolder').html('<div id="touchMe">click me</div>');
});
$('#touchMe').click(function(){
alert ("WORKED");
});
}
How do I make the #touchMe.click command apply to the new incoming HTML?
thanks a lot
Take a look at live()
$('#touchMe').live('click', function() {
Try -
$('#touchMe').live('click',function(){
alert ("WORKED");
});
Instead of
$('#touchMe').click(function(){
alert ("WORKED");
});
use
$('#touchMe').live('click', function(){
alert ("WORKED");
});
you use .live() or .delegate() function instead of click.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myButton').live('click', function(){
$('#placeHolder').html('<div id="touchMe">click me</div>');
});
$('#touchMe').live('click', function(){
alert ("WORKED");
});
}
note: the live on "mybutton" is not necessary in this example.

jQuery Class selector not working

I'm struggling to make an alert come up when an anchor tag with a specific class is clicked inside of a div.
My html section in question looks like this...
<div id="foo">
<a class='bar' href='#'>Next</a>
</div>
The jQuery section is as follows..
$('.bar').click(function()
{
alert("CLICKED");
});
My problem is that I cannot get this alert to come up, I think that I'm properly selecting the class "next", but it won't pick it up for some reason. I've also tried almost everything on this page but nothing is working. If I don't try to specify the anchor tag i.e. $('#foo').click(function()... then it works, but there will be multiple anchor tags within this div, so simply having the alert executed when the div is clicked won't work for what I need. The website this is on is a search engine using ajax to send information to do_search.php. Within the do_search.php I make pagination decisions based on how many results are found, and if applicable, a next, previous, last, and first link may be made and echoed.
EDIT: I just figured it out, it was my placement of the .next function, since it wasn't created on the initial document load but instead after a result had been returned, I moved the .next function to the success part of the ajax function since that is where the buttons will be created if they need to be, now it works.
Try using the live() command:
$(".bar").live("click", function(){ alert(); });
Because you load your button via AJAX, the click event isn't binded to it. If you use the live() command, it will automatically bind events to all elements created after the page has loaded.
More details, here
.live is now deprecated and is the selected answer for this. The answer is in the comments in the selected answer above. Here is the solution that resolved it for me:
$(document).on('click','.bar', function() { alert(); });
Thanks to #Blazemonger for the fix.
You surely missed $(document).ready(). Your code should be:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.bar').click(function()
{
alert("CLICKED");
});
});
Hope this helps. Cheers
Make sure you have included JQuery Library properly.
Make sure your script has written between $(document).ready() in short $(function(){ });
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/W9PXG/1/
<div id="foo">
<a class='bar' href='#'>Next</a>
</div>
$(function(){
$('a.bar').click(function()
{
alert("CLICKED");
});
});
