Close a bootstrap warning when clicking anywhere on page

Bootstrap Warnings Image I have two different types of bootstraps alerts (warning and danger). Danger alerts are always suppose to be on the page no matter what. Warning alerts happen when user clicks on the dropdown list carriers it displays a bootstrap warning notification. User has to click on 'x' for it to close. I need it to work when user click anywhere on the page or by clicking on the 'x'.
HomeController.cs
case "Carrier":
var carrierid = (from foo in db.Carriers
where foo.ID == warningid
select foo.WarningID).Single();
if (carrierid != null)
{
warning = (from warnings in db.Warnings
where warnings.IsActive == true && warnings.Id == carrierid
select warnings.WarningBody).SingleOrDefault();
if (warning != null)
{
warning = ("<div class=\"alert alert-warning alert-dismissible\" id=\"myWarning\" role=\"alert\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"alert\" aria-label=\"Close\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\">×</span></button><strong>" +
warning + "</strong></div>");
}
else
{
warning = "";
}
}
else
{
warning = "";
}
return Json(warning, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
default:
break;
warningwriter.js
//// warning display script takes a value of warningid and warningcaller
$(document).ready(function () {
var warningid = 0;
var warningcaller = "Universal";
loadWarnings(warningid, warningcaller);
});
$('#Phones').change(function () {
var warningid = $(this).val();
var warningcaller = "Phone";
loadWarnings(warningid, warningcaller);})
$('#Carriers').change(function () {
var warningid = $(this).val();
var warningcaller = "Carrier";
loadWarnings(warningid, warningcaller);})
function loadWarnings(warningid, warningcaller) {
$.getJSON("../Home/LoadWarnings", { warningID: warningid, warningCaller: warningcaller },
function (warning) {
var select = $('#warnings');
select.append(warning);
});
};

As Martin suggested, it's something you need to do in javascript. I haven't tested this, but it would be something like:
$(document).click(function (event) {
$(".alert").hide();
});
This is basically, clicking anywhere on the page will hide any displayed alert.

Since you have two different types of bootstraps alerts (danger and warning). You have to use ".alert-warning" because that is the one you want to get rid of when user did a mouse click anywhere on page. ".alert" is all of the bootstraps alerts, however, if you need to get rid of a certain type you can call the contextual classes(e.g., .alert-success, .alert-info, .alert-warning, and/or .alert-danger. https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/alerts/
$(document).click(function (event) {
$(".alert-warning").hide();
});

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#myWarning").click(function () {
$(".alert").alert("close");
});
});
By doing this, u are making two things wrong:
You are binding the click event to an element, that possibly
doesnt exist when the page is loaded.
You are binding the click
event to a restricted element. This means that the alert wont be
closed when u click anywhere on the page. In this case, only clicks on #myWarning will close the alert.
Finally, you should use what #Bryan already posted :)
Edit:
Assuming that u have a set of alerts that u always want to close on page load, add to this elements a way to identify them, for example a class "close-on-screenclick"
$(document).click(function () {
$(".close-on-screenclick.alert").alert("close");
});
.This should close those elements whenever a click is made on the screen

how to prevent tab in jquery?

can we stop prevent blur or tabbing for 5 second in input field.then after 5 second user can tab from one field to another.I use off and on function but it is not working .here is my code
http://jsfiddle.net/GV3YY/99/
$("input").off("blur");
setTimeout(function(){
$("input").on("blur");
},5000)

You need to "lock" the inputs when they is focused and use setTimeout to "unlock" it after 5 seconds. A naive implementation could look something like this: https://jsfiddle.net/my7wk6gj/2/
Update: Now pseudo prevents bluring by click. The blur still happens, but focus is returned to the original input until the 5 seconds have passed. I couldn't get event.stopImmediatePropagation to work for blur, so this is the next best thing...
var lockInput = false;
var focusTarget = null;
var lockTimeout = null;
$('input').on('focus', function (e) {
if (lockTimeout) {
return;
}
lockInput = true;
lockTimeout = setTimeout(function () { lockInput = false; lockTimeout = null }, 5000)
}).on('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 9 && lockInput) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
}).on('blur', function (e) {
console.log('blur')
if (lockInput && focusTarget === null) {
focusTarget = e.target;
setTimeout(function () {
focusTarget.focus();
focusTarget = null;
});
}
});
The global variables are used only for the example, i'd advice against that.
Also, if you have a large number of inputs, i'd suggest using event delegation, instead of adding a listener to every one of them.

How to prevent Bootbox from displaying twice after a double click?

I have a <ul> element that opens a bootbox when it's clicked. Double clicking this element triggers the onclick in JQuery twice
$("#email-list").on("click", ".list-group-item", function (e) {
bootbox.confirm("Send a forgotten password email to " + email + "?", function (result) {...}}
I tried using 'e.preventDefault()'
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#email-list").dblclick(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
I even tried disabling clicking on the element but both failed. The bootbox still appears twice.
$("#email-list").bind('click', function () { return false; });
//...do stuff
$("#email-list").unbind('click');
Anyone has a suggestion?

Another solution can be to add:
bootbox.hideAll();
to hide any other bootboxes right before showing the bootbox like so:
bootbox.hideAll();
bootbox.confirm("Some Message " , function (result){/*do stuff*/}

Try this:
$("#email-list").on("click", ".list-group-item", function (e) {
if(!$('#myModal').is(':visible')){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
}
e.preventDefault();
}

Use the click event, then you can replace
e.preventDefault();
with
e.stopPropagation();
or
return false;

I figured the best way to do this is to separate the two events; onclick and dbclick, I used something like this, I hope it will save someone some time:
var DELAY = 700, clicks = 0, timer = null;
$(function () {
$("#email-list").on("click", ".list-group-item", function (e) {
clicks++; //count clicks
if (clicks == 1) {
//do stuff
clicks = 0; //after action performed, reset counter
}, DELAY);
} else {
clearTimeout(timer); //prevent single-click action
clicks = 0; //after action performed, reset counter
return false;
}
})
.on("dblclick", function (e) {
e.preventDefault(); //cancel system double-click event
});
}

jquery selector returns sometimes empty object

i have the following piece of code that puts focus on textarea $newCommentBody field if the value of clicked radiobutton is 'not_important' or 'for_the_future'.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#inhabitant_request_realization').on('click', 'input[type=radio]', function () {
var $newCommentBody = $('.fos_comment_comment_form_holder textarea'),
$tooltiptext = $('.tooltiptext'),
$this = $(this);
if ($this.val() == 'not_important' || $this.val() == 'for_the_future') {
$newCommentBody.focus();
$tooltiptext.show();
} else {
$tooltiptext.hide();
}
});
});
The problem, actually is that $newCommentBody is loaded asynchronously and after i click the radio button the focus is sometimes put on textarea sometimes not because $newCommentBody is empty in that case.
Thank you.

Show button if input is not empty

I am not much of a JavaScript guru, so I would need help with a simple code.
I have a button that clears the value of an input field.
I would like it (the button) to be hidden if input field is empty and vice versa (visible if there is text inside the input field).
The solution can be pure JavaScript or jQuery, it doesn't matter. The simpler, the better.

$("input").keyup(function () {
if ($(this).val()) {
$("button").show();
}
else {
$("button").hide();
}
});
$("button").click(function () {
$("input").val('');
$(this).hide();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/SVxbW/

if(!$('input').val()){
$('#button').hide();
}
else {
$('#button').show();
}
In it's simplest form ;)

to do this without jQuery (essentially the same thing others already did, just pure js). It's pretty simple, but I've also added a few comments.
<body>
<input type="text" id="YourTextBox" value="" />
<input type="button" id="YourButton" value="Click Me" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var textBox = null;
var button = null;
var textBox_Change = function(e) {
// just calls the function that sets the visibility
button_SetVisibility();
};
var button_SetVisibility = function() {
// simply check if the visibility is set to 'visible' AND textbox hasn't been filled
// if it's already visibile and the text is blank, hide it
if((button.style.visibility === 'visible') && (textBox.value === '')) {
button.style.visibility = 'hidden';
} else {
// show it otherwise
button.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
};
var button_Click = function(e) {
// absolutely not required, just to add more to the sample
// this will set the textbox to empty and call the function that sets the visibility
textBox.value = '';
button_SetVisibility();
};
// wrap the calls inside anonymous function
(function() {
// define the references for the textbox and button here
textBox = document.getElementById("YourTextBox");
button = document.getElementById("YourButton");
// some browsers start it off with empty, so we force it to be visible, that's why I'll be using only chrome for now on...
if('' === button.style.visibility) { button.style.visibility = 'visible'; }
// assign the event handlers for the change and click event
textBox.onchange = textBox_Change;
button.onclick = button_Click;
// initialize calling the function to set the button visibility
button_SetVisibility();
})();
</script>
</body>​
Note: I've written and tested this in IE9 and Chrome, make sure you test it in other browsers. Also, I've added this fiddle so you can see it working.

You can use $('selector').hide() to hide an element from view and $('selector').show() to display it again.
Even better, you can use $('selector').toggle() to have it show and hide without any custom logic.

First hide the button on page load:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#myButton").hide();
});
Then attach an onChange handler, which will hide the button whenever the contents of the text-field are empty. Otherwise, it shows the button:
jQuery("#myText").change(function() {
if(this.value.replace(/\s/g, "") === "") {
jQuery("#myButton").hide();
} else {
jQuery("#myButton").show();
}
});
You will also need to hide the button after clearing the input:
jQuery("#myButton").click(function() {
jQuery("#myInput").val("");
jQuery(this).hide();
});
