Make a check mark appear when colorbox is closed

I've added colorbox to a site that contains product attributes. When a user has selected the attributes and closed the popup I either want to change the background colour of the button used to open the popup, or display a marker so that they know they have chosen the options for that product out of the grid layout.
I have got a close event firing ok on colorbox. I tested it with alert("closed"), so i know that it is activating correctly.
So i added:
$(document).bind('cbox_closed', function(){
document.getElementById('.inline').style.backgroundColor = "#f3f3f3";
});
but it didn't change the background colour of the "inline" class.
What am i doing wrong?
If i decide to go with a check mark that is hidden with display:none; what is the process for overriding the display:none; css?
Thanks

There are a couple problems I see here:
A. You're incorrectly accessing a class name "by id". Switch to jQuery CSS selector and css() method to change the BG color:
$(document).bind('cbox_closed', function(){
$('.inline').css({backgroundColor: "#f3f3f3"});
});
B. You may want to add your event listener directly in the colorbox options in the constructor, rather than on the document, which ought to perform better, and will kill the listener when the colorbox is destroyed (no memory leaks):
$('#my_colorbox').colorbox({
// options
onClosed: function() {
$('.inline').css({backgroundColor: "#f3f3f3"});
}
});

You can't access the class with document.getElementById(). Use document.querySelectorAll('.inline') instead.
or use jquery way
$('.inline').css('backgroundColor', '#f3f3f3');
Use
$(document).bind('cbox_closed', function(){
document.querySelectorAll('.inline').style.backgroundColor = "#f3f3f3";
});

Jquery don't focus in disqus div

I use disqus in my news site for comments, i put disqus div as display:none, i want that the user have to do click in a button for show and hide this div.
I did a script in jQuery doing toggle in this button, and I can hide and show the div, but when it shows, does not focus on the div, but this is where the button.
This is not useful since pressing the button should take the user to the section where comment, but does not.
script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.gn-icon-bubble').attr("href","#foot").click(function(){
$('.disqus_thread').toggle('swing');
});
});
.gn-icon-bubble is the button and as you know, .disqus-thread is the div's class; #foot is my anchor, are in the main page's footer, but still don't works.
I've tried using anchors, but gives the same, still focus comments. I really appreciate your help.

Use Event Delegation for dynamically change element ,use preventDefault to stop default action
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.gn-icon-bubble').attr("href","#foot");
$(document).on("click", ".gn-icon-bubble[href=#foot]" , function(event){
// event.preventDefault(); If you want to stop default anchor tag click action
$('.disqus_thread').toggle('swing');
});
});

Try this:
$('.gn-icon-bubble').click(function() {
$('.disqus_thread').toggle('swing',function() {
$('#foot').focus();
});
return false;
});

Add DISPLAY: NONE to span via jQuery when: mouse-click outside span, OR click EXIT button, etc+

What I want is really simple, but every time I try to add the functionality I want, the more I'd mess things up, so I decided to ask help and stick with the working basic script I have now.
I already have a script in progress, that I would like to develop to work almost exactly like this:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/7133084/1399030 { http://jsfiddle.net/Paulpro/YpeeR/25/ } (by: PaulP.R.O.)
Open a hidden span
Hide a hidden span
Span has "CLOSE" button to exit span
Hide currently opened span when another span is triggered
Think... Image Gallery Preview functionality... Kind of.
"Preview" spans are triggered when either .popCover or a.thumbnail is clicked on the webpage, this hidden span will appear based on its specified unique id, by jQuery inserting display: block; to its css.
This is inside a loop with multiple items.
I've gotten this far and this is the working script that I use:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.popCover').click(function(){
divID = $(this).attr('id');
$("#tooltip-"+divID).fadeIn('5000', function() {
$("#tooltip-"+divID).css("display", "block");
});
});
$("a.thumbnail").click(function() {
dvID = $(this).attr('id');
$("#tooltip-"+dvID).fadeIn('5000', function() {
$("#tooltip-"+dvID).css("display", "block");
});
});
});
But now, I need to add to these functions the trigger to make the span disappear again, (by inserting display: none; to its css.
I'd want the CURRENT SPAN to disappear when:
01. Mouse click is made outside of the span element
02. An exit or X button is clicked INSIDE the span. (like on image galleries, when they preview an image, and exit it by either clicking outside the element or an exit button provided within the preview)
03. .popCover or a.thumbnail is re-clicked (probably to trigger another span of a different ID to show.)
NOTES:
Currently, I can click as many anchors on the page and all these spans with different IDs just accumulate and stack up over each other on the page.
I don't really want that. I don't want more than 1 span to be open at one time, so I was hoping to add functionality that would make the current opened span exit itself when another anchor click is made.
I really did try to do this myself, but... I can't get the methods I've tried to work. It was too complicated to add all these functions together since I'm no jQuery expert. I could get one to work and then ruin it by trying to work in another.
Also, I was thinking of using this similar way of exiting the span:
$(".the_span").fadeOut("5000").css("display", "none");
The only reason I'm not willing to just use some plugin and uncomplicate things for me is, I already really like my "Preview" span css, I have it all ready. I just need the jquery part to work:
To display: block a span when triggered, and display: none it if mentioned conditions are met.
Hoping for assistance, and will be very grateful for each single one! Thank you.

You have to try to add a class on the opened / active element and then bind all the events to close it. Binds have to be done on elements with class .active for example, when closed, .active class have to be removed.

I've finally gotten this to work! :o)
By using if ($("span.the_span").is(":visible")) to check if span with class="the_span" was currently visible / open / or has display: block in its CSS, and if so, to:
- hide the currently open span, before proceeding to show the new span. -
Here's my working finished product that addresses all the functionality I wanted:
$(document).ready(function() {
// When clicks on either ".popCover" or "a.thumbnail" is made,
// Funcion clickPOP is triggered:
var clickPOP = function() {
divID = $(this).attr('id');
// Checks if "span.the_span" is already currently open:
if ($("span.the_span").is(":visible")) {
$("span.the_span").css("display", "none"); // If open, this is where it closes it..
$("#tooltip-"+divID).fadeIn('200', function() { // Then, proceeds to open the new clicked span here.
$("span.the_span #tooltip-"+divID).css("display", "block"); });
}
// But if no "span.the_span" is currently open:
// No need to close anything, it will directly open the new span...
else {
$("#tooltip-"+divID).fadeIn('5000', function() {
$("span.the_span #tooltip-"+divID).css("display", "block"); });
}
} // End of Function. Added functionality starts below...
// Exits "span.the_span" when mouse clicks outside of element
// ... ("Outside of element" means: outside of "span.the_span")
$(document).click(function(){
$("span.the_span").css("display", "none");
});
// Exit Button : Exits "span.the_span" when exit button is clicked
$('span.exitme').css('cursor', 'pointer').click(function(e){
$("span.the_span").css("display", "none");
e.stopPropagation();
});
// This makes sure that clicks inside "span.the_span" continue to work
$('span.the_span').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
// This makes sure that clicks on ".popCover" continue to work
$(".popCover").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
// This makes sure that clicks on "a.thumbnail" continue to work
$("a.thumbnail").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
// Clicks on both ".popCover" & "a.thumbnail"
// ... will trigger actions specified on function: clickPOP.
$(".popCover").click(clickPOP);
$("a.thumbnail").click(clickPOP);
});
As you can see, I've also added the $(document).click(function() etc. to get my original desired functionality of hiding the span when mouse clicks outside of the element, but making sure that clicks can still be made if they are done on .popCover (div) or a.thumbnail (link) on the webpage.
Also, I wouldn't have been able to complete writing this method without the tips from these posts:
* Running same function / different triggers: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1191837/1399030
* Fix clicking inside element (including exit button): https://stackoverflow.com/a/4660691/1399030
* How to check if something is hidden or visible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/178450/1399030
I especially found the last post VERY helpful (and basically it made me understand what I was doing), because poster: Tsvetomir Tsonev included in his code comments:
// Checks for display:[none|block], ignores visible:[true|false]"
I didn't really initially understand that jQuery was able to check or connect with CSS that wasn't inline (being a jQuery noob myself), so that post was indeed very enlightening.
Of course, if there is a better, more efficient way to do this, I would be very happy to be enlightened some more! jQuery is still a learning curve for me, and I'm a very eager student!

jQuery - Toggle a panel closed on click of outside element, only if panel is visible

I'm working on this site: http://dev.rjlacount.com/treinaAronson/index.php
My final to-do is to set the contact panel (which you can see if you click the top left "contact" button) to close if it's currently open and the user either clicks outside of the panel (in the "#content" area) or hits the esc key.
I figured the clicking in the #content area trigger would be the easier of the two, so I started with that. I've read a couple threads on triggering functions only if elements are visible, but what I've come up with so far isn't working at all:
$("#panel").is(":visible") {
$("#content").click(function(){
$("#panel").slideToggle("3000");
});
};
This breaks the functionality of the contact button, and I've tried several variations of this to no avail. Am I making any glaring errors here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Bind Click and Keydown functions to the document and make sure the click function doesn't bubble up to the document when your panel or flip buttons are clicked. Like so:
$(document).bind({
keydown:function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 27 ) {
$("#panel").slideUp("3000");
}
}, click: function(e) {
$("#panel").slideUp("3000");
}
});
$('#flip, #panel').bind('click', function(e){return false});

Why don't you add a class to the body of the page when the panel is opened and remove it when it's closed? That makes this much simpler:
$('.class #content').click(function(){
// Close the contact panel
});
Now, when the body has a class of 'class', any click on the #content div will automatically close contact.
Make sense? Great looking site, by the way.

$('#flip').bind('click', function(){
$(this).toggleClass('contactOpen');
$("#panel").slideToggle("3000");
});
$('#content').bind('click', function(){
if($('#flip').hasClass('contactOpen')){
$(this).toggleClass('contactOpen');
$("#panel").slideToggle("3000");
}
});

Making JQuery horizontal accordion close on click

Example: http://vincent-massaro.com/map/
Currently, the script allows you to click on a piece of the accordion to open it, but it is set to close on mouseleave. When I set the mouseleave to .click, it gets confused and doesn't know what state it is in. I want to make it so that you can click to open it, and click to close it, instead of mouseleave. The code controlling this is below, and the full script is in haccordion.js linked in the page source. If someone could help me modify this script, I would be very grateful! Thanks in advance.
$target.click(function(){
haccordion.expandli(config.accordionid, this)
config.$lastexpanded=$(this)
})
if (config.collapsecurrent){ //if previous content should be contracted when expanding current
$target.mouseleave(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({width:config.paneldimensions.peekw}, config.speed)
})
}

try use this
$('.accordion-item-header').click(function() {
var item = $(this).parent().find('.accordion-item-body');
item.toggleClass('open').animate({
width:item.hasClass('open') ? 0: 100
}, 100).toggleClass('open');
});

You could set a boolean variable to represent whether the accordion is open or not and just check it on click. (You'll need to toggle the variable's state on click too)
Edit:
Ok try this. Set a boolean global variable (outside the click event) like this:
var accordion_expanded = false;
Then within your click event do something like this: (I haven't tested this so you might have to massage it a bit to fit your circumstance)
In the function where you expand your accordion put this:
accordion_expanded = true;
And in the function where you contract your accordion do a
if(accordion_expanded == true){
//Contract accordion code goes here
accordion_expanded == false;
}
Good Luck!
