framework 7 on click not working while navigation

I have used framework built-in formToJSON() to get the form values. I have used click event to console the value.
$$("#query-submit").on("click", function () {
var queryForm = app.formToJSON("#query-form");
console.log(JSON.stringify(queryForm));
});
It works fine when page loads first time. But if I changed navigation to other page and return back to first page.
On debug, I found click event is not working when I went back to form page.
Also found this warning in console.
What is wrong here.
Note All pages were loaded via AJAX

Try this:
$$(document).on('click', '#query-submit', function(){
// your code
});

Reload page asynchronously or setTimeout?

I'm a bit lost.
I have two pages; Results and Detail. Whenever user navigates from Detail to Results using the browser back button, Results page should refresh, this way I can show what product user just seen on Detail (like amazon does with recently viewed items)
I don't know if it is better to load page asynchronously,
or use setTimeout as seen here (the example below works, but page refreshes forever)
if(window.top==window) {
// you're not in a frame so you reload the site
window.setTimeout('location.reload()', 3000); //reloads after 3 seconds
} else {
//you're inside a frame, so you stop reloading
}
and when I try reloading just a div also doesn't work
$('#div-id').triggerevent(function(){
$('#div-id').html(newContent);
});
I've also came across a lot of examples leading to this but didn't managed to make it work.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you

The onload event should be fired when the user hits the back button. Elements not created via JavaScript will retain their values. I suggest keeping a backup of the data used in dynamically created element within an INPUT TYPE="hidden" or TEXTAREA set to display:none then onload using the value of the textbox to rebuild the dynamic elements to the way they were.
If you don't care about rebuilding the page and want to actually reload it, then you could do:
<input type="hidden" id="refreshed" value="no">
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=function(){
var e=document.getElementById("refreshed");
if(e.value=="no")e.value="yes";
else{e.value="no";location.reload();}
}
</script>

I believe you should reload the page asynchronously.
Maybe attaching the event ready to the body will work.
$(function(){
$('body').ready(function(){
alert('worked');
//Code to reload the page or data
});
});

javascript createElement/append child -- new text dissapears after click

I have a javascript method that creates a bunch of elements on click. When I call it from a button, it only stays on the screen for the duration of that click. when I enter the exact same code into the console, however, it stays on the page until I reload or navigate away (which is exactly what I want).
JavaScript code: (it's the only method in the js file)
function post() {
var postTitle = document.createElement('h3');
var nodeTitle = document.createTextNode('Immigration is good.');
postTitle.appendChild(nodeTitle);
etc....
Where I'm calling it in the html:
<input type="submit" id="post-button" value="Post" onclick="post()">
The script tag is in the header of the html page.
How do I get it to stay on the page past the duration of the click? Any ideas why it's being immediately obliterated?

You still need to cancel the form's submission. A return false; from post, if it exists, won't work because the onclick attribute is calling post() but not returning anything.
You could change it to onclick="return post();", but it would be better to attach the handler directly, and to the submit event of the form and not the click event of the button (people do use Enter sometimes!):
document.getElementById('some-form').onclick = post;

Look at what the button does. It is posting!
When you click the button it is redirecting you back to the page you are currently on! It seems like it is showing up and disappearing what is actually happening though is that the page is refreshing.
There are a couple of options to do what you want. Submitting via Ajax or having your server respond with a hashbang/cookie set to direct the page to do as you wish.

Detect first page load with jQuery?

I need to detect the first time a page loads in jQuery so that I can perform some actions only when the page loads the first time a user navigates to that page. Similar to server side code page.ispostbasck. I have tested $(document).ready and it fires every time the page loads so this will not provide what I need. I have also tried the jQuery Load function - it also fires every page load. So by page load an example is that I have an HTML input tag on the page of type button and it does not fire a postback (like an asp.net button) but it does reload the page and fires $(document).ready
Thanks

You will have to use cookie to store first load information:
if (! $.cookie("cookieName")){
// do your stuff
// set cookie now
$.cookie("cookieName", "firstSet", {"expires" : 7})
}
Note: Above example uses jQuery Cookie plugin.

An event doesn't exist that fires only when the page is loaded for the first time.
You should use jQuery's .ready() event, and then persist the fact that you've handled a first time page load using your method of choice (i.e. cookie, session variable, local storage, etc.).
Note: This method will never be fool proof unless you can store this information at the user level in a DB. Otherwise, as soon as the user clears their cookies, or whatever method you choose, the "first time loaded" code will fire again.

I just ran into this problem and this is how I handled it. Keep track of the first time the page loads by using a variable initialLoad:
var initialLoad = true;
$(document).ready(function() {
...
...
...
initialLoad = false;
});
Then in other functions, you can do this:
if (initialLoad) {
//Do work that is done when the page was first refreshed/loaded.
} else {
//Do work when it's not the initial load.
}
This works well for me. If the user is already on the page and some jQuery functions run, I now know if that user just loaded the page or if they were already on the page.

The easy solution is to use jQuery ‘Once’ plugin
$(element).once('class-name', function() {
// your javascript code
});

jQuery code repeating problem

I have a piece of code in jQuery that I use to get the contents of an iFrame after you click a link and once the content is completed loading. It works, but I have a problem with it repeating - at least I think that is what it is doing, but I can't figure out why or how.
jQuery JS:
$(".pageSaveButton").bind("click",function(){
var theID = $(this).attr("rel");
$("#fileuploadframe").load(function(){
var response = $("#fileuploadframe").contents().find("html").html();
$.post("siteCreator.script.php",
{action:"savePage",html:response, id: theID},
function(data){
alert(data);
});
});
});
HTML Links ( one of many ):
<a href="templates/1000/files/index.php?pg=0&preview=false"
target="fileuploadframe" class="pageSaveButton" rel="0">Home</a>
So when you click the link, the page that is linked to is opened into the iframe, then the JS fires and waits for the content to finish loading and then grabs the iframe's content and sends it to a PHP script to save to a file. I have a problem where when you click multiple links in a row to save multiple files, the content of all the previous files are overwritten with the current file you have clicked on. I have checked my PHP and am pretty positive the fault is with the JS.
I have noticed that - since I have the PHP's return value alerted - that I get multiple alert boxes. If it is the first link you have clicked on since the main page loaded - then it is fine, but when you click on a second link you get the alert for each of the previous pages you clicked on in addition to the expected alert for the current page.
I hope I have explained well, please let me know if I need to explain better - I really need help resolving this. :) (and if you think the php script is relevant, I can post it - but it only prints out the $_POST variables to let me know what page info is being sent for debugging purposes.)
Thanks ahead of time,

From jQuery .load() documentation I think you need to change your script to:
$(".pageSaveButton").bind("click",function(){
var theID = $(this).attr("rel");
var lnk = $(this).attr("href");//LINK TO LOAD
$("#fileuploadframe").load(lnk,
function(){
//EXECUTE AFTER LOAD IS COMPLETE
var response = $("#fileuploadframe").contents().find("html").html();
$.post("siteCreator.script.php",
{
action:"savePage",
html:response,
id: theID
},
function(data){alert(data);}
);
});
});
As for the multiple responses, you can use something like blockui to disable any further clicks till the .post call returns.

This is because the line
$("#fileuploadframe").load(function(){
Gets executed every time you press a link. Only add the loadhandler to the iframe on document.ready.

If a user has the ability via your UI to click multiple links that trigger this function, then you are going to run into this problem no matter what since you use the single iframe. I would suggest creating an iframe per save process, that why the rendering of one will not affect the other.
