I am trying to create a button listener function inside bindPop in leaflet. But it does not read parameter of onclick function. In the below code alertConfirmed()function works fine for me but filterEventsBasedOnCluster(feature) does not read the parameter 'feature'. It says feature is not defined. feature is an object.
here is the code:
layer.bindPopup('<div id="alert">Found...!<input type="button" value="Please confirm" onclick="alertConfirmed()"> <input type="button" id="create" value="see patients" onclick="filterEventsBasedOnCluster(feature)"><table id="table"></table></div>')
`
Any help is much appreciated.
If you attach event handlers via the onclick HTML attribute, you can not control the parameters received by that handler. Let me quote the docs:
The single argument passed to the specified event handler function is a MouseEvent object. Within the handler, this will be the element upon which the event was triggered.
The way to pass a custom argument is to define a closure, by having a function that returns a function that receives only the event reference.
This is exactly the same solution as described in «Leaflet.contextmenu callbacks» and «Leaflet marker event fires at wrong time».
Read that. I mean it.
So in the end it should look something like:
function getHandlerForFeature(feat) { // A function...
return function(ev) { // ...that returns a function...
console.log(feat); // ...that has a closure over the value.
}
}
layer.bindPopup("<button id='mybutton'>Foo!</button>")
// The button doesn't exist in the DOM until the popup has been opened, so
layer.on('popupopen', function(){
L.DomEvent.on(
document.getElementById('mybutton'),
'click',
getHandlerForFeature(layer) // The result of this call is the event handler func.
);
});
Note that you can not use the onclick="code" syntax, as you need to create a string of runnable code, and that code will only be able to access variables in the global scope. Sure, you can JSON.stringify() your data, but you won't be able to have references to variables outside.
try this:
I am just correcting the wrong part only:
onclick="filterEventsBasedOnCluster('+feature+')"
You are not passing the variable properly.

I have a global function defined in one place:
function addToCart (){
var prodText = $(this).parent().siblings(".item1").text();
$("#"+prodId+"shopC").children(".item1").text(prodText);
alert(prodText);
}
Then, I want to call it inside a HTML element with an inline onClick event:
onClick='addToCart()'
It is not working, but it works if I put the function code directly inside the onClick event, so that must be a this scope issue.
There are many questions/explanations about this scope but I must confess I miss a simple straight answer for this specific case (I tried to use "use strict" with success either).
How to make this work?
As per current implementation this doesn't refers to the element which invoked the function. It refers to window object.
You need to pass the current element context i.e. this to the function as
onClick='addToCart(this)'
and modify the function to accept element as parameter.
function addToCart (elem){
var prodText = $(elem).parent().siblings(".item1").text();
$("#"+prodId+"shopC").children(".item1").text(prodText);
alert(prodText);
}
Basically this inside a plain function will point to window. you have to pass the this context to the inline handler onClick='addToCart(this)'. Receive it and use it inside of event handler like below.
function addToCart (_this){
var prodText = $(_this).parent().siblings(".item1").text();
you have to pass this keyword where you inline calling the addToCart function then you can capture that element
onClick='addToCart(this)'
this object in your function does not point to the object where you added the onClick function to. It rather points to the window object.
You need to pass this as a param to your function.
function addToCart (trigger) { // Code goes here }
and call addToCart(this) in your onClick.

I have this:
Ext.define('MyWindow',{stuff that uses param});
Ext.define('widget.panel',{
stuff
handlerFn: function (parameter) { //parameter comes from Ext.pass(this.handlerFn,parameter)
Ext.create('MyWindow',{param: parameter}).show();
}
stuff
});
The button and its handler are defined inside the initComponent of the panel. When I made this without using Ext.define on the window and directly hardcoding it in the handler instead everything worked fine. However now it says param is not defined. How to pass it correctly?
The handler has to be passed through Ext.pass(this.handlerFn, [parameter])
Also inside the Ext.define make sure you know what your scope is on every level and you will easily find the parameter on the 'window' level.
I'm trying to register on +1 clicks from within my module, which is wrapped as an annonymous function.
For this end, I created a global object MyModule, and exported my click handler function through it. The problem is - my click handler doesn't get called.
Live demo. Code:
// Initialize +1 button
gapi.plusone.go();
(function(){
window.MyModule = {};
function plusOneClicked() {
alert("+1!");
}
window.MyModule.plusOneClicked = plusOneClicked;
})()
...
<g:plusone callback='window.MyModule.plusOneClicked'></g:plusone>
When I give as a callback an external function, whose only purpose is to forward the calls to window.MyModule.plusOneClicked, it works:
function foo() {
window.MyModule.plusOneClicked();
}
...
<g:plusone callback='foo'></g:plusone>
Why would the click handler miss window.MyModule.plusOneClicked(), but find foo()?
Google is probably writing
window[callback]();
in their code.
This requires that the callback string refer to a property of window, not a property of another object.
I believe because callback expects a direct handler method (as in foo()) rather than a reference (as in window.MyModule.plusOneClicked). So basically, you cannot simply assign such a reference to click handler, but write a (wrapper) method as the handler and have it perform the necessary invocation.
Why this works in jQuery :
$('#selCars').change(function(){
alert( "I have changed!" );
})
but not this one :
$('#selCars').change(alert( "I have changed!" ) );
You pass a function reference to .change(). Your second example just has code there, not a function reference.
Your first example works because it passes a function reference which IS what is required.
A function reference is required because this is a callback that will be called at a later time. The .change() function which executes immediately needs to save the callback reference into it's own variable and then call it later when the change event actually occurs. To do that, it needs a function to call at that later time, not a raw piece of code.
And, the other answer is because, .change() was written to require a function reference. That's how the developers that spec'ed and wrote it designed it. If you want it to work, you have to follow their rules.
Because it's a callback, i.e. you're passing something that be called back later, so what you've to pass is a reference to a function, and that reference will be stored and called when the event will fire.
The change method doesn't store some code, it stores only a pointer to the function. Your function is called an event handler.
It's because .change() attaches an event handler to an element. The handler won't be called until the event has occurred.
Since in JavaScript, functions are just another datatype, you could also do this:
var handler = function(event) {
alert("I have changed!");
}
$('#selCars').change(handler);
Note that handler is a function, Whereas alert() would just return undefined.
After spending so much time in jQuery, I'm rusty on my old fashioned JS...
The question: When attaching an event to an object that you want to trigger a function, how do you pass the event to said function?
Example function:
myFunction(e){
...
}
Example event attachment:
document.getElementById('blargh').onkeypress = function(){myfunction([what do I put here to pass the event?])};
Make the handler accept a parameter, say event, and pass it to your function:
document.getElementById('blargh').onkeypress = function(event){myfunction(event)};
The event handler always gets the current event passed as parameter... in the W3C model.
For IE you have to get the parameter via window.event. Thus, in the function you can write something like:
function(event) { event = event || window.event; myfuntion(event);}
you can try using arguments. This variable gets automatically populated in the local scope. It is an array of all the arguments that was passed into the function. If you pass arguments on to your myfunction, everything that was passed into the even handler will be passed as an array to myfunction.
document.getElementById('blargh').onkeypress = function(){myfunction(arguments)};
function myfunction(args)
{
alert(args[0]);
}
