How could I tell if the focusout event occured due to an enter press = form submit or just because of clicking away? The event data which goes to the console is of type "focusout" and has no relevant information
$(".clientrow[clientid="+clientid+"] td."+fieldname+"").bind("focusout", function(event){
console.log(event);
setTimeout(function() {
if (!event.delegateTarget.contains(document.activeElement)) {
$(".clientrow[clientid="+clientid+"] td."+fieldname+"").html(
$(".clientrow[clientid="+clientid+"] td."+fieldname+" input[type=text]").val()
);
}
}, 0);
});
Edit: As Oriol pointed in the comments, this will not work in Mozilla. If you are looking only for webkit browsers, you can try this approach. But as a generic solution, try binding an event on submit button and consecutively set a flag which identifies the element. Based on the element, you can detect whether it's an actual blur or not.
You can look out for relatedTarget property in the event.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/GCu2D/782/
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input").on("blur", function (e) {
console.log(e);
if (e.relatedTarget) {
console.log("Because of button");
} else {
console.log("Just a blur")
}
});
});
HTML:
<form>
<input type="text" />
<button type="button">Submit</button>
</form>
You'll have to replace the focusout with blur event. When the blur is due to a click on a button, the relatedTarget property will have button as value but in other cases it will be null.

I need to know if my input box is clicked so I can fire a script to do something, except none of the routes I'm attempting seem to do anything.
basic input box
<input type="text" id="search-stuff" placeholder="search"/>
Javascript
var inputBox = document.getElementById("search-stuff");
if (inputBox) {
inputBox.addEventListener('keyup',function () {
startSearch();
})
inputBox.addEventListener('onfocus',function() {
console.log('we clicked');
searchBoxClicked();
})
}
function searchBoxClicked() { console.log('we clicked it'); }
I need to know if the user clicks so I can clear some classes on previous elements before the user types something.
You nearly got it right. A few minor mistakes:
to listen to the focus event. onfocus isn't an event.
the keyup event is for listening when a keyboard button is released (following a keydown event). If you want to listen to a mouse click, use the click event.
var inputBox = document.getElementById("search-stuff");
if (inputBox) {
inputBox.addEventListener('click', function() {
startSearch();
});
inputBox.addEventListener('focus', function() {
searchBoxClicked();
});
}
function searchBoxClicked() {
console.log('focus');
}
function startSearch() {
console.log('click');
}
<input type="text" id="search-stuff" placeholder="search" />
Attach the event listener to your input instead of the form. Instead of getElementById you could iterate the children to find it or use a selector.
When using event listeners the event is click or focus not onclick or onfocus.
document.getElementById('search-stuff').addEventListener('focus',function() {
console.log('clicked it');
};
or
document.querySelector('#formName > input[type=text]').addEventListener('focus',function() {
console.log('clicked it');
});
document.querySelector('#formName > input[type=text]')
.addEventListener('focus',function() {
console.log('clicked on ' + this.name);
});
<form id="formName">
<input name="username" type="text" value="press here">
</form>
I've got an input box that I want to have save its value when it loses focus.
Pretty straightforward stuff and I'm able to get that done via jQuery's focusout event.
The problem however, is that I want to NOT fire the focusout event when the user clicks on an "X" icon next to the input box (example shown below)
So when the user tabs out of this input box, or clicks outside of the box or they click the green checkbox it should fire the focusout event... but if they click the red "X", it should NOT fire the focusout.
Is this possible to do with JavaScript / jQuery?
EDIT:
Some of you have recommended using event.relatedTarget, but it seems like that's returning null. I'll include my code in question for clarity:
// This is the cancel button with the red X
$("body").on("click", "span[id*='Cancel']", function(e)
{
showLabel($(this));
});
// this is the code to trigger the blur / focusout event
// trouble is that the "e.relatedTarget" is null
$("body").on("focusout", "input, textarea", function (e) {
if($(e.relatedTarget).is("span[id*='Cancel']")){
return false;
}
$(this).siblings("span[id*='OK']").trigger("click");
return false;
});
Here's a screen grab of me debugging this in JS (you'll see that the $(e.relatedTarget) selector returns nothing):
You can cancel de event returning the focus to previous element.
$('#inputText').focusout(function(event) {
setTimeout(function(){
if (document.activeElement.id == "btnCancel") {
$(event.target).focus();
return false;
}
},1);
});
This jsFiddle shows how to do it: https://jsfiddle.net/mpervh3t/
Hope it helps
You must use relatedTarget like this :
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".btn").on("focusout",function(e){
if($(e.relatedTarget).hasClass("red")) {
alert("You clicked on X button");
}
else {
alert("Fire Focus out")
}
})
})
Final code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.gr {
color: green;
}
.red {
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" class="btn"><button class="gr">Ok</button><button class="red">X</button>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".btn").on("focusout",function(e){
if($(e.relatedTarget).hasClass("red")) {
alert("You clicked on X button");
}
else {
alert("Fire Focus out")
}
})
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
As per my comment:
"I have had to do a similar type of thing with a blur event. Basically what I had to do was call a setTimeout on the blur to execute my function to save the data, and then on the click event of the X, cancel the timeout. That way, unless the X is clicked, the save function will fire. The delay can be pretty negligable, too."
I found the relevant code
var sliderTimeout = null;
$(".slider-trigger").on("blur", function () {
sliderTimeout = setTimeout(function () {
$(".slider").hide();
}, 100);
});
$(".ui-slider-handle").on("focus", function () {
clearTimeout(sliderTimeout);
});
Here is the full demo of the code in action. It does much more than demonstrate this, but if you examine the behavior of focusing/blur on the "margin" input, you will see that if you blur the margin input, the slider hides, but if you click on the slider, it cancels the hide and stays shown. It's the exact same concept, just a slightly different application.
Here, I did the thing.
https://jsfiddle.net/kowmLf2a/1/
In the blur event I target the related target. See if that related target is the item that I don't want to blur with. If it is then return false.
Code for reference:
$('#input').blur(function(event){
if($(event.relatedTarget).is('#bt2')){
return false;
}
alert($(this).val());
});
I am trying to prioritize click event in case two events click and change are fired.
I have a global function similar to "ValidateOnChange" and "ValidateOnClick" to validate input of text box on change and on click event.
Enter some text, it shows up error message. Then try to input correct value and click the Submit button, the error vanishes and this makes user to click the button twice. Here I am trying to fix this double click.
Here is mock up code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>Enter any string:</div>
<div><input type="text" id="txtInput" ></input></div>
<div id="divError" style="color: red; display: none;">Please enter 0</div>
<input type="button" value="Submit" id="btnSubmit" ></input>
<script type="text/javascript">
var mouseevent_var = null;
function ValidateOnChange(e) {
var input = $('#txtInput').val();
if (input == '0') {
$('#divError').hide();
} else {
$('#divError').show();
}
}
function ValidateOnClick(e){
alert("Hurray!!! You got it right!");
}
$('#txtInput').mousedown(function (e) {
mouseevent_var = e;
});
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('#btnSubmit').click(function(e){
ValidateOnClick(e);
});
$('#txtInput').change(function(e){
ValidateOnChange(e);
});
//User don't want error when they are typing in.
//$('#txtInput').keyup(function() {
//$('#txtInput').trigger("change");
//});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
The keyup event seemed to be solution but users don't want the error to popup when they are typing in.
Is there any way to list all the triggered events so that I could filter "mousedown" and "mouseup" events for submit button? Or is there any alternative way to prioritize click event ?
There can be many alternatives depending on the situations. I have made few minor changes to avoid the double click issue (comments amended). Basically we need to bind the mousedown event on the button object. There we will set a temporary flag variable to true. In the same time if input's change event gets fired then you can skip the checking if the temporary flag variable is true. Reason behind the double click for triggering the button's click event is better explained here: How to get jQuery click event after append in change event handler
Your updated js code below:
var mouseevent_var = false;
function ValidateOnChange(e) {
// Skip validation if the change event is fired due to user's click on submit button
if(mouseevent_var){ return false; }
var input = $('#txtInput').val();
if (input == 0) {
$('#divError').hide();
} else {
$('#divError').show();
}
}
function ValidateOnClick(e){
mouseevent_var = false; // Reset mouseevent_var to false
alert("Hurray!!! You got it right!");
}
$('#btnSubmit').mousedown(function (e) {
mouseevent_var = true;
});
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('#btnSubmit').click(function(e){
ValidateOnClick(e);
});
$('#txtInput').change(function(e){
ValidateOnChange(e);
});
//User don't want error when they are typing in.
//$('#txtInput').keyup(function() {
//$('#txtInput').trigger("change");
//});
});
The above code is just a fix as per your need. But there are other better alternatives too. Ideally you should not have two different validation functions for validating same fields on different events. You must think of managing it with a single function.
I'm trying to trigger an event on an input if the input is clicked or if the input comes in to focus.
The issue i'm having is preventing the event from firing twice on the click as, obviously, clicking on the input also puts it in focus. I've put a very loose version of this on jfiddle to show you what I mean, code as below:
HTML:
<body>
<input type="textbox" name="tb1" class="input1"></input>
<label> box 1 </label>
<input type="textbox" name="tb2" class="input2"></input>
<label> box 2 </label>
</body>
JQuery
$(function () {
$('.input2').click(function() {
alert("click");
});
$('.input2').focus(function() {
alert("focus");
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/XALSn/2/
You'll see that when you tab to input2 you get one alert, but if you click you get two. Ideally for my scenario, it needs to be one alert and ignore the other. it also doesn't seem to actually focus.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
How about setting a flag on focus so we can fire on focus and ignore clicks but then listen for clicks on the focussed element too? Make sense? Take a look at the demo jsFiddle - If you focus or click on the unfocussed .index2 it triggers the focus event and ignores the click. Whilst in focus, clicking on it will trigger the click.
I have no idea why you would want this (I cant imagine anyone wanting to click on a focussed element for any reason (because the carat is already active in the field) but here you go:
$(function () {
$('.input2').on("click focus blur", function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
if(e.type=="click"){
if($(this).data("justfocussed")){
$(this).data("justfocussed",false);
} else {
//I have been clicked on whilst in focus
console.log("click");
}
} else if(e.type=="focus"){
//I have been focussed on (either by clicking on whilst blurred or by tabbing to)
console.log("focus");
$(this).data("justfocussed",true);
} else {
//I no longer have focus
console.log("blur");
$(this).data("justfocussed",false);
}
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/XALSn/12/
This probably won't be the best answer, but this is a way of doing it. I would suggest adding tab indexes to your inputs and firing the focus event when you blur from another input.
I've added that to this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/XALSn/9/
$(function () {
$('.input2').click(function(e) {
alert("click");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
$('input').blur(function(){
$('input').focus(function() {
alert("focus");
});
});
You can use one thing I am using very often in JS
var doSomething = true;
$(function () {
$('.input2').click(function(e) {
if (doSomething) {
// do something :)
}
doSomething = false;
});
$('.input2').focus(function() {
if (doSomething) {
// do something :)
}
doSomething = false;
});
});
But You have to change value of doSomething on mouseout or foucs over etc. :)
$(function () {
var hasFocus = false;
$("body")
.off()
.on({
click : function()
{
if(!hasFocus)
{
hasFocus = true;
alert("click");
}
},
focus : function()
{
if(!hasFocus)
{
hasFocus = true;
alert("focus");
}
}
},".input2");
});
try setting a flag hasFocus and act accordingly
http://jsfiddle.net/AEVTQ/2/
just add e.preventDefault() on the click event
$(function () {
$('.input2').click(function(e) {
console.log("click");
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
});
$('.input2').focus(function() {
console.log("focus");
});
});
If I understand your question right, the e.prevnetDefault() will prevent the browser from automatically focusing on click. Then you can do something different with the click than would with the focus
here is my html :
<span class="checkbox checked replacement" tabindex="0">
<span class="check-knob"></span>
<input type="checkbox" name="data[InfoPagesClient][3][info_page_id]" value="25" checked="checked" class="">
</span>
<label for="InfoPagesClient3InfoPageId" class="label">asdasd</label>
now I want to show hide this pencil box on checkbox click event..
javascript :
$("p.checkbox-group span.checkbox").on('click', function(){
if($(this).hasClass('checked')) {
$(imgId).hide();
} else {
console.log('aaaaaaaaaaa');
$(imgId).show();
}
});
$("label.label").on('click', function(e) {
if ($(this).siblings('span.checkbox').hasClass('checked')) {
$(imgId).hide();
} else {
$(imgId).show();
}
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
});
clikcing on label it is going to span click event and prints console value... I tried using e.stopPropogation() and stopImmediatePropogation().. but ti is not working..
any idea ??
e.stopPropogation() or e.stopImmediatePropogation() will prevent the event from bubbling up, but will not stop the event immediately.
You can use e.preventDefault() along with e.stopPropogation(). e.preventDefault() will prevent the default event from occurring. You can check with the following change in your code.
$("p.checkbox-group span.checkbox").on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
if($(this).hasClass('checked')) {
$(imgId).hide();
} else {
console.log('aaaaaaaaaaa');
$(imgId).show();
}
});
$("label.label").on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
if ($(this).siblings('span.checkbox').hasClass('checked')) {
$(imgId).hide();
} else {
$(imgId).show();
}
});
When you use label with for, browser will automatically click the associated control which triggers the "click" event. That is another event triggered later, in your case when you use e.stopImmediatePropagation();, it just stops the current "click" event and has no effect on the event of the associated control fired after that
To fix your issue, try removing for
Use this:
<label class="label">asdasd</label>
Instead of:
<label for="InfoPagesClient3InfoPageId" class="label">asdasd</label>
If you add the id attribute to your checkbox, then the label will work. Then you can simplify your code as follows:
$(function () {
$("p.checkbox-group input[type=checkbox]").on('change', function () {
if (this.checked) {
$(this).parent().addClass('checked').siblings('a.edit-content').hide();
} else {
$(this).parent().removeClass('checked').siblings('a.edit-content').show();
}
});
});

mmmh, isn't it a feature instead of a bug ? shouldn't the click on the label trigger the same action as the click on the "checkbox" ? That's precisely why the for attribute is used I guess.
