Add jQuery Event to Single Text Link - javascript

I am customising this nice website template and in the #profile section I would like to add a textual link pointing to another section, #contact. I first tried the simple solution:
my text
But it doesn't work.
I then tried to understand how to make this textual link trigger the same jQuery event as when you click on a section button; however, being a complete newbie, I have so far failed. In particular, my efforts have focused on inserting an onclick event into the <a> tag, as it is mentioned here, but without success.
Do you have some solution for this? :-) I am sure this is probably something trivial for someone who knows JavaScript; sorry for wasting your time.

You need to do 2 steps:
1) Add new <li> to <ul id="menu">
<li><a class="newtab" href="#newtab" title="New Tab">New Tab</a><span>Get in touch</span></li>
2) Add new div into <div id="content">
like <div id="newtab" class="section">Content goes here</div>
Other way
add function to your javascript section
function showTab(tabname)
{
$("ul#menu li.active").removeClass("active");
$('.'+tabname).parent().addClass("active");
$(".section").slideUp();
$($('.'+tabname).attr("href")).slideDown('slow');
return false;
}
and add to link my text

From what I understand I think what you want is to add onclick event on tag which will execute a function.
Then you should try the following:
Run JavaScript Code
And myJsFunc be like:
function myJsFunc() {
//Some code
return false;
}

How to change the contents of a div with a link click?

Here is a (Modified) jsfiddle of my webpage. It has quite a bit more, and the positioning is correct, as opposed to this: http://jsfiddle.net/ry0tec3p/1/

I'm trying to make the slightly transparent black area in the middle of the webpage (the "center" div.) change html when I click on one of the links above(which look like a few tabs on the webpage), and I want the tab to stay selected until another is clicked. It can't be just the text, because different tabs will have different HTML. Could somebody edit the jsfiddle, or show me how to, to make this happen?
EDIT:
I've tried using:
$(".btn1").click(function(){
$(".center").load( "file.html" );
});
which did nothing at all.
also, I have looked into inner HTML, but my attempts at implementing it into this have failed because I'm ignorant.
If you attempt to run this locally it you may find it will not work, you must have this on a live server. And on the same domain as the files you're calling for
This is jQuery so make sure you have a script tag linked to jQuery!
HTML
<button id="home" class="Navigation">Home</button>
<button id="about" class="Navigation">About Us</button>
<button id="contact" class="Navigation">Contact Us</button>
<div id="PageData">Data Will Display Here</div>
jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){ //All jQuery should go in this ready function
// Onclick function
$('.Navigation').click(function () {
// this.id = to the ID of the element being clicked
$('#PageData').load(this.id+".html");
});
});
All you need to do it work this into your existing source code.
You can apply the class="Navigation" to any element you want to use to fire the function but it will use the ID of that element to load the page.
Example a button with the id of cars will try load cars.html
I hope this helps. Happy coding! :)

Javascript Run Action on click of a Hyperlink

My Javascript knowledge is extremely low, so sorry for this stupid question, but I have searched everywhere.
I'm using a single page scrolling script, but trying to add a navigation bar. The documentation references this for changing to a page:
$(".main").moveTo(3);
How do I make a link to run this? I just want a Hyperlink that runs this when clicked, but cannot work out how to do it.
You can use the selector for the hyperlink as
$('a').click(function () {
// paste your function here..
})
You can use a specific selector such as its class as
$('a.move').click(function () {
// function
}
Where its HTML will be as
Click Me
No, you don't. If the hyperlink does not link to a resource, it's not a hyperlink and you should not use the <a> tag. What you're describing is a "click to do something" element, which is the <button> element. Simply use this:
<button onclick="$('.main').moveTo(3)">click this</button>
And then use some CSS to make the button look like whatever you need it to look like (button default styling is just CSS, so turn off the border and background color, and now it looks like plain text)

Why this pop up is not shown?

I have a problem with a very simple JavaScript pop-up script.
I have this example page: http://www.onofri.org/example/example4/
At the end of this page there is a box containing some flags including the British flag that is reprsented by the #reportEng div (inside the engLink link).
What I want is that when the user clicks on this element a pop0up message will show.
So I have add to the page this simple script:
<script>
var test = document.getElementById('engLink');
test.addEventListener('click', function() {
alert('clicked');
});
</script>
I have put the script inside the body section of the page and not in the head section because this is only a test page and the final result will be put into a page of a CMS in which I do not have access to the template (so I can't put the script in the head section).
The problem is that it does not work. If I click on the English flag the page is reloaded and the pop-up not shown.
Can you help me?
Thank you,
Andrea
I went a completely different approach. The addEventListener is pretty cool, but I'm a bit OLD and I've defaulted to nasty habits. This works just fine for me.
<script>
function myExample(){
alert("BaZing! It works!");
}
</script>
And for the HTML part...
<div id="reportEng" onClick="myExample()"></div>
I also want to point out that this 'fix' is a bit taboo (see here)
You don't prevent the link from being followed, so when you click the link which has an empty href, you simply reload the current page.
There are many ways to prevent the defaul link behaviour, but here is the old school way:
<div id="reportEng"></div>
Also on a side note I don't think a div element is allowed inside an a in HTML or XHTML.
FIDDLE
You are using a <a> tag, change it to use a <div> tag, or remove <a> tag at all
You can follow this to make div clickable.

Confirm dialog box with anchor tag

My friend done this below coding for custom control
click
now i want to show confirm dialog box while click this anchor link.
Is it possible?. i want to write script as inline.
Do this :
click
But at some point, you'd want to stop using only inline code and have a look at other clearer ways to add javascript in your code.
You may use a script block like this in the HEAD of your HTML file :
<script>
function doOnClick(){
if (window.confirm('Really?')){
__doPostBack('id','msg');
};
}
</script>
And then your link becomes
click
Of course, this doesn't feel much simpler with only one function but it helps you put all your functions in the same place and make lighter and clearer html.
An alternative would be to use jQuery, so that you may totally avoid putting javascript in the html part.
The html is then
<a id=myLink>click</a>
And your script, now at the end of the body, is this one :
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myLink').click(function(){
if (window.confirm('Really?')){
__doPostBack('id','msg');
};
});
// other codes will come here
});
</script>
You're not at all required to code it this way now, as you only have a very light function, but if your code grows I suggest you start considering it and look at the jquery tutorials.
Of course. Here is a small snippet, not elegant but it works...
click
I actually had to look this up because I haven't used confirm, alert and prompt in a very long time.
confirm returns true/false depening on what the user selected (OK/Cancel, respectively).
So your resulting code would be
click

jquery to add one cell without refreshing the page

I want to add one cell in a section each time I click the add button. The page is updated without refreshing.
The html code is:
<section>
<p class="cell">content</p>
</section>
<button type="button" id="addCell">add</button>
How should I implement the js?Thanks!
Very simple, use append() or after(). In your case append() will work better.
$('#addCell').bind('click',function(){
$('section').append('<p class="cell">content2</p>');
});
Unfortunately I can't show you a demo because jsFiddle is under maintenance.
Demo in jsbin: http://jsbin.com/agosap/
I won't give you the code as you haven't shown us what you've attempted, but I will guide you.
You want to bind a click event to the button so you can do stuff when the user clicks it. You can create elements using JS document.createElement or using jQuery. So inside the click event, create the element you want, give it whatever attributes you want, and then append it to the parent div.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#addCell").click(function() {
$("section").append('<p class="cell">content</p>');
});
});
