I have an instance where my datepickers won't work by button click, so I figure find the closest input and .click() or .focus() (for it's datepicker, since the same field is to be affected). For the sake of this demo, from the button/icon click - find the closest input and focus/click on it. If correct, the border will glow blue. http://jsfiddle.net/81tvr0op/
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<div class="input-group date">
<input type="text" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn default" type="button">
<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
Icon
</button>
</span>
</div>
</th>
</tr>
</table>
jQuery
...something like
$(".date > span > button").on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest("th").find("input:text").click();
});
...right?
If I understand correctly, you are trying to place the cursor into the input box when the user clicks the button.
To do that, you should use .focus() instead of .click().
Working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/81tvr0op/1/
From your jsfiddle, something like this should work.
$("button").on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).parent().siblings(0).focus();
});
Or, give your input an id and do something like:
$("button").on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#dateInput").focus();
});

I would to know if it is possible to move the search function out of an input for a table modified by DataTables. Currently I have a custom input that executes this function:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#staffTable').DataTable();
$('#searchNameField').keyup(function () {
oTable.search($(this).val()).draw();
});
})
</script>
the input looks like so:
<label for="searchNameField" class="col col-form-label">Name:</label>
<div class="col-sm-11">
<input type="text" class="form-control ml-0 pl-2" id="searchNameField"
placeholder="Name" autofocus/>
</div>
What I would like to do is move this to a button. What I thought might be possible is the following:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#staffTable').DataTable();
$('#searchButton').click(function () {
oTable.search($(this).val()).draw();
});
})
</script>
with the button looking like so:
<button id="searchButton" type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-success" style="width: 150px">
<i class="fa fa-search">
Search
</i>
</button>
however when I click on the button this does not work. In typing this question I have realised that this is probably because when I click the button, it does not know where to get the filter text from to actually filter the table.
Is there a way I can have a button click that references the input, that then goes and filters the table?
You're right, you need to redefine $(this), which now refers to the button, not the search box:
$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#staffTable').DataTable();
$('#searchButton').click(function () {
oTable.search($("#searchNameField").val()).draw();
});
// EDIT: Capture enter press as well
$("#searchNameField").keypress(function(e) {
// You can use $(this) here, since this once again refers to your text input
if(e.which === 13) {
e.preventDefault(); // Prevent form submit
oTable.search($(this).val()).draw();
}
});
});
I have text field like below which is bydefault disabled.
<input disabled="" type="text" name="name" class="inputUsrProfile" placeholder="Add a description about your self..">
And the anchor tag is below
<i class="fa fa-pencil" id="clickPencil" aria-hidden="true"></i>
On the click of the anchor tag I want the textfield to get enabled.
Below is the jquery I am trying which doesn't seem to work.
$("#clickPencil").prop('disabled', false);
Here's the fiddle.
You need to get the input field not the i tag so change the selector to get the input field. Although bind click event using click() method change the property when click event fired.
$("#clickPencil").click(function() {
$(".inputUsrProfile").prop('disabled', false)
});
$("#clickPencil").click(function() {
$(".inputUsrProfile").prop('disabled', false)
});
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input disabled="" type="text" name="name" class="inputUsrProfile" placeholder="Add a description about your self..">
<a id="clickPencil" href="#"><i class="fa fa-pencil" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
Updated fiddle try with click function .and change with $('input')
$('#clickPencil').click(function(){
$("input").prop('disabled', false);
})
Or try with className
$(".inputUsrProfile").prop('disabled', false);
You need click event of i
$("#clickPencil").click(function(){
$("input.inputUsrProfile").prop('disabled', false);
});
Fiddle
$("#clickPencil").click(function() {
$('.inputUsrProfile').prop('disabled', function(i, v) { return !v; });
});
This will work like a toggle, check it.
So I've got this menu where you can choose the class in my game.
<div class="text">
<div id="story">Choose a class.</div>
<input type="button" class="knight" value="Knight"/>
<input type="button" class="mage" value="Mage"/>
<input type="button" class="archer" value="Archer"/>
</div>
How do I use jquery so that when I press any of these buttons, I'll get a new set of buttons which you can press to choose your race?
I've tried .replaceWith() but jquery won't work on the new buttons.
It will take the css.
function classChange() {
var Class = $(this).val();
$('#statsImg').text("class: " + Class);
$('.knight').replaceWith('<input type="button" class="elf value="Elf"/>');
$('.mage').replaceWith('<input type="button" class="human" value="Human"/>');
$('.archer').replaceWith('<input type="button" class="Dwarf" value="Dwarf"/>');
$('.menu').show();
};
$('.knight').click(classChange);
$('.mage').click(classChange);
$('.archer').click(classChange);
Button elf won't do anything with the next part:
$('.elf').on('click', '.elf',function () {
$('#statsImg').text('test');
});
Works with button knight/mage/archer.
So what I'd like to know is how do I get rid of this menu and get a new menu once I press a button?
Sorry if I forgot to add something that you need to know. I'll add it if you need it.
You have to bind the events to the buttons after adding them. Try with -
$('.knight').replaceWith('<input type="button" class="elf value="Elf"/>').bind('click', function() {
$('#statsImg').text('test');
});
I have the following form fields:
<div id="filename-url-container">
<div class="form-inline form-group">
<input name="filename[]" class="form-control" placeholder="Filename" type="text">
<div class="input-group">
<input name="url[]" class="form-control" placeholder="URL" type="text">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default btn-add" type="button">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I want to grab the first child each time the button is pressed and append it to the bottom of the filename-url-container div without the values of the original cloned fields.
I tried to get this to work but it's not appending correctly:
$('#filename-url-container').on('click', '.btn-add', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formGroup= $('#filename-url-container :first-child');
$('#filename-url-container').append(formGroup);
console.log(controlForm);
});
You should .clone the elements before appending them - as written your code would simply take the existing elements and try to move them to exactly the same place.
You also need to constrain your selector, else it will pick every :first-child element within the container, not just the one that's the immediate child:
$('#filename-url-container').on('click', '.btn-add', function (e) {
var formGroup= $('#filename-url-container > :first-child').clone(true);
formGroup.find('input').val(''); // erase values
$('#filename-url-container').append(formGroup);
});
demo at http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/dvqgnga0/
$('#filename-url-container').on('click', '.btn-add', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formGroup= $('#filename-url-container div:first-child').html();
$('#filename-url-container').append(formGroup);
console.log(formGroup);
});
You need to append html, not object it self.
http://jsfiddle.net/npdh2v3L/
I don't think you are using :first-child correctly. :first-child refers to the first child of the type to it's left. Other than that you just need to get rid of those values. Additionally, I'm not seeing a need to Event.preventDefault() since you are not using a submit button.
$('#filename-url-container .btn-add').click(function(){
var clone = $('#filename-url-container .form-group:first-child').clone(true);
clone.find('input').val('');
$('#filename-url-container').append(clone);
});
How to prevent triggering the calendar, not only by clicking on the icon but on the whole tag? In this case if I'm trying to do this directly without children selector it's doesn't working.
My implementation
HTML:
<div id="datetimepicker1" class="input-append date">
<input type="text" disabled="true"></input>
<span class="add-on disabled">
<i data-time-icon="icon-time" data-date-icon="icon-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
JS:
$(function () {
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();
$(".disabled").children().bind('click', function () {
return false;
});
});
EDIT : http://jsfiddle.net/vg4xa/1/
You have to set your event handler before datepicker init, and stop event propagation :
$(function () {
$('.disabled').bind('click', function(e){
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
});
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();
});
I know that this answer will not work for the subject, but in the issue description, there is a datepicker and next code works for me to prevent datepicker opening on span or calendar icon click
if (disable) {
$('#datetimepicker1').datepicker('_detachEvents');
$('#datetimepicker1').datepicker('_detachSecondaryEvents');
} else {
$('#datetimepicker1').datepicker('_attachEvents');
$('#datetimepicker1').datepicker('_attachSecondaryEvents');
}
