Say I have
<div id="mydiv">
<div class="myclass">
<span class="otherclass"></span>
and many other classes...
</div>
</div>
I want to capture the click event on .mydiv but not inside .myclass.
I tried .mydiv:not(.myclass) but it doesn't seem to work. I think it's because I might be clicking on the otherclass so the :not(.myclass) is not working. How can I get the area I want to get? Thanks!
make #mydiv clickable, do whatever you wish, and stop event propagation from .myclass, so the event will not bubbleup from myclass to mydiv
$('#mydiv').click(function(){
// do anything
})
// stop event propagation
$('.myclass').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
})
You can click on mydiv id and write your code in that function and on .myclass click event you simply write return false to stop further execution of function.
$('#mydiv').click(function(){
// stuff your code here
});
//Use `return false` instead of `e.stopPropagation();`
$('.myclass').click(function(e){
return false;
})
e.stopPropagation() is dangerous please read Documentation
Calling .off() will remove an event handler
$("#mydiv").on('click', function () {
alert("You clicked mydiv");
});
$(".myclass").off('click', function () {
});
or like this
$(".myclass").off();

The problem is about event mouseenter which is triggered twice.
The code is here : http://jsfiddle.net/xyrhacom/
HTML :
<div id="elt1" class="elt" val="text1">
text1
<div id="elt2" class="elt" val="text2">
text2
<div>
</div>
JS :
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".elt").mouseenter(function() {
console.log($(this).attr('val'));
});
})
I understand the problem is the event is linked to the class attribute so it is triggered for each class, but I need to find a way to consider just the event triggered for the child.
In the example, when mouseover text2, it displays in the console 'text2 text1' but I want to find a way to only display 'text2' (keeping the same HTML code)
use stopPropagation(); Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree,
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".elt").mouseenter(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
console.log($(this).attr('val'));
});
})
Updated demo
Both #elt1 and #elt2 have your selector class (.elt )
use event.stopPropagation() to stop event from bubbling up in the DOM tree
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".elt").mouseenter(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
console.log($(this).attr('val'));
});
})
If you only want to let the first child trigger the event, you can use a selector like:
$(".elt > .elt")
The issue here is that elt2 is inside elt1, and the mouseenter event is bubbling up the DOM chain. You need to stop the bubbling by using event.stopPropagation() to prevent your function from firing multiple times:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".elt").mouseenter(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
console.log($(this).attr('val'));
});
})
I've made a fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/autoboxer/9e243sgL/

I am trying to disable a link that submits my form after it has been clicked. This is needed to stop duplicate requests from the same user. Here is my code, but unfortunately it is not working.
<a id="submit-form-link" onclick="document.forms[0].submit()" class="next">Next <span>Step</span></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#submit-form-link').click(function(){
$('submit-form-link', this).attr('style', 'pointer-events: none;');
});
</script>
I feel like I am close but it just is not working.
You're going about this wrong. Get rid of the inline onclick event handler and use this inside a document ready call:
$('#submit-form-link').one('click', function(){
$('form').submit();
});
This binds the click event to your link, but unbinds it after the first click.
You can see this in the console in this jsFiddle example. The first time you click the link it attempts to submit the form, but doesn't try on subsequent clicks.
Try this:
...
$('submit-form-link').off().click(function() { return false; });
...
<a id="submit-form-link" onclick="document.forms[0].submit()" class="next">Next <span>Step</span></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#submit-form-link').click(function(){
if (!$(this).hasClass('disabled')) {
$('submit-form-link', this).attr('class', 'next disabled');
return true;
}
return false;
});
</script>
Here, you can create a class disabled and style it as you want. Just add this class after clicking the button so you will know that it is disabled. Then you return false to stop the event if the button was already clicked.
bind the click event again in the first click event callback function
$('#submit-form-link').click(function(){
$('submit-form-link', this).attr('style', 'pointer-events: none;');
$(this).click(function(e){e.preventDefault})
});
You have to remove the onclick attribute.
$('#submit-form-link').click(function(){
$(this).removeAttr('onclick');
});
Also, $('submit-form-link', this) is totally wrong. You are selecting nodes of type submit-form-link that are children of this. First of all you'd need #submit-form-link and second this is already a reference to the link node you just clicked.
I'm trying to get a .click() event to work on a div.content except if clicked on something with a specific class, say, .noclick. Example html:
<div class="content">
<a href="#" class="noclick">
</div>
Doing this doesn't work because the <a> tag is not technically in the selection:
$('.content').not('.noclick').click(function(){/*blah*/});
How can I get the click function to work if I click anywhere on .content except something with class .noclick?
You'd have to exclude them from within the callback:
$('.content').click(function(e) {
if ($(e.target).hasClass('noclick')) return;
});
Or stop the event from leaving those elements:
$('.noclick').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
I would go with the second one. You can just drop it and your current code (minus the .not()) will work.
$('.content').click(function(event) {
// ...
}).find('.noclick').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
$('.content').click(function(e){
if(!$(e.target).is('.noclick')){
// Handle click event
}
});
$('.content').
on('click', '.noclick', function(){return false;}).
click(function(){alert("click")})
cancels clicks on '.noclick', yet fires clicks elsewhere

Let me define the problem a little bit more:
i have
<div class="contact">
<div id="form"></div>
<div id="icon"></div>
</div>
i want onclick on #icon, to change the class of .contact to .contactexpand( or just append it).
Then i want that the on body click to change the class back, but of course that shouldnt happen when clicking on the new class .contactexpand, and if possible that clicking on icon again changes the class back again.
I tried numerous examples and combinations but just couldn't get the right result and behavior.
Check this: Working example
Let's go step by step
I want onclick on #icon, to change the class of .contact to .contactexpand( or just append it). […] and if possible that clicking on icon again changes the class back again.
You want to use the toggleClass() method to achieve this. Simply:
$('#icon').on('click', function(e){
$(this).parent()
.toggleClass('contact')
.toggleClass('contactexpand');
});
Then i want that the on body click to change the class back
You will have to make sure that body removes contactexpand class and adds contact. At this point I would just give the container element an id (or class if you prefer), just to make things simpler. Then what you do is pretty simple:
$('body').on('click', function(e){
$('#thisdiv')
.removeClass('contactexpand')
.addClass('contact');
});
but of course that shouldnt happen when clicking on the new class .contactexpand.
This is the step that the other answers missed, I think. Since everywhere you click, you also click on the body element, you will always trigger the click event on the body, hence removing the contactexpand class and adding the contact one.
Enter event.stopPropagation(). This method will make sure that the events doesn't bubble up the DOM, and will not trigger the body click.
$('#thisdiv').on('click', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
Working example
You can add a class to parent element like the following code.
$(".contact #icon").click(function(){
var element = $(this).parent(".contact");
element.removeClass("contact").addClass("contactexpand");
});
I like to the jQuerys toggleClass function like so:
$('#icon').click(function(){
$('#contactbox').toggleClass('contact');
$('#contactbox').toggleClass('contactexpand');
});
Or you could use addClass('className') and removerClass('className') if you would like to apend it rather than toggle it :)
Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/aUUkL/
You can also add an onclick event to the body of the page and use hasClass('className') to see whether or not to toggle the class when the body is clicked. You could use something like this (Although I havent tested this bit!):
$('body').click(function(){
if( $('#contactbox').hasClass('contactexpand') ){
$('#contactbox').addClass('contact');
$('#contactbox').removeClass('contactexpand');
}
});
You can do this
$('body').on('click', function(event) {
if ($(event.target).attr('id') == 'icon') {
$(event.target).parent().toggleClass('contactexpand');
} else {
$('.contact').removeClass('contactexpand');
}
});
Check out this jsfiddle
var $contact = $('.contact');
$contact.find('#icon').click(function(e, hide) {
e.stopPropagation();
$contact[hide ? 'removeClass' : 'toggleClass']('contactexpand');
});
$(document).on('click', function(e) {
if (e.srcElement === $contact[0]) return;
$contact.find('#icon').trigger('click', true);
});

I've got the following code:
<div onclick="alert('div event');" style="cursor:pointer">
some text
click
</div>
When somebody clicks on the link the javaschipt event is triggered. I want that the event is only triggers if somebody clicks on the text or on the empty space inside the div container; and not if somebody clicks on the link.
Is it possible to call a function when the event is triggered, which checks on which elements the user has clicked. something link
onclick="foo(caller);"
and
function foo(element){
if(element!='link'){
alert('yes');
}
}
Add a click handler to your link and stop event bubbleing to the parent div. Like this:
$('#link').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(function (){
$('#link').click(function (e){ e.stopPropagation(); /*do other thing*/});
})
OnClick event you can pass the current object type.
something like
onclick=foo(this)
The function foo looks like
function foo(obj) {
if(obj.tagName != 'A') {
alert('Yes')
}
}
Use the unbind http://api.jquery.com/unbind/
