I have two buttons on my form. A user clicks on any one of the buttons and the drop down is shown, for the corresponding button. Now the user clicks randomly anywhere on the form. So now I want the dropdown to be hidden.
My code has:
$('html').not( "button.btn.dark.dropdown.copy" ).on 'click', (e) ->
if $('ul.drop-menu.copy-menu').css('display') != 'none'
$('ul.drop-menu.copy-menu').hide()
$('html').not( "button.btn.dark.dropdown.move" ).on 'click', (e) ->
if $('ul.drop-menu.move-menu').css('display') != 'none'
$('ul.drop-menu.move-menu').hide()
In the above code, it works fine for the move button but does not work for the copy button. I am unable to find the reason for the same. Any help would be much appreciated.
Check closest target with in the selector,
Suppose your popup showing content is inside .popup class then use it's class name for checking the target
$('body').click(function (e) {
if (!$(e.target).closest('.popup').length) { // exists only when you click on popup area otherwise will return false and will hide popup
$('ul.drop-menu.move-menu').hide()
}
})

I have this code for toggling menus on my site. It will open a menu on click, close others open when you click another and close them all if you click outside.
The issue is, I'm now using this for my search bar to appear too, but if you click inside the search box it vanishes - woops. Would it be possible to amend the hiding code to detect if the user wasn't clicking inside a specific area of the code?
// navbar toggle menu
$(document).on('click', ".toggle-nav > a", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
var $toggle = $(this).closest('.toggle-nav').children('.toggle-content');
if ($toggle.hasClass('toggle-active'))
{
$($toggle).removeClass('toggle-active');
}
else
{
$(".toggle-content").removeClass('toggle-active');
$($toggle).addClass('toggle-active');
}
});
// hide the toggle-nav if you click outside of it
$(document).on("click", function ()
{
$(".toggle-content").removeClass('toggle-active');
});
Instead of using click, this uses mouseup. If the target is, for example #search-bar, it won't remove toggle-active from toggle-content elements.
$(document).mouseup(function(e) {
if (!$(e.target).is('#search-bar')) {
$(".toggle-content").removeClass('toggle-active');
}
});
You can see it in action with this jsFiddle.
Hopefully this helps.
I have a popup window that has a form in it and to stop the popped up div clicks from closing the window I've used:
$(".popup").click(function () {
$(".popup").css("display", "none");
}).children().click(function(e) {
return false;
});
However this works perfectly except with checkboxes whereby it disables checking them.
Is there any way around this?
popup is an overlay, then popupInner holds the form.
Try replacing your code with this:
$(".popup").click(function(e) {
if (e.target == this) $(this).hide();
});
It would hide the popup only if clicked on the element with class popup and not its children, it would also keep the functionality of the children intact.
I have an autocomplete dropdown that appears when a user starts typing in a textbox (I'm using jquery mobile but I don't think that's important to my problem). I want to be able to hide the whole dropdown list when a user clicks anywhere on the page. However, I don't want to hide the dropdown when a user actually clicks on the dropdown itself.
Is there a way I could catch the click event in order to know what was clicked?
Here's my blur function:
//hide autocomplete when dropdown is not clicked
$("#search-div input").blur(function () {
$("#autocomplete-list").hide();
});
I was thinking of somehow putting an if statement in my blur function. Here's my pseudo code:
if( dropdown clicked)
{
run code to take text from dropdown and place in textbox
}
else
{
hide dropdown
}
Would it be possible to know whether my dropdown is clicked or something else is clicked while in my blur function? When I debug my javascript I'm only seeing an event that's related to the textbox doing the blur()
Edit:
Here is a function I'm using to handle when the dropdown is clicked:
$( document).on( "click", "#autocomplete-list li", function() {
var selectedItem = event.target.innerHTML;
$(this).parent().parent().find('input').val(selectedItem);
$('#autocomplete-list').hide();
runSearchQuery();
});
You can listen for any click, not just a blur, and then check what the clicked element was. e.currentTarget gives you what was clicked.
var clickHandler = function(e) {
if ($(e.currentTarget).hasClass('dropdown')) {
// do nothing
} else {
// Make sure you unregister your event every
// time the dropdown is hidden.
$(window).off('click', clickHandler);
// hide
}
}
// When the dropdown comes down, register an event on the whole page.
$(window).on('click', clickHandler);
I have a notification dropdown similar to what stackoverflow has. So when the user request the notifications window I open and close my dropdown div using .show and .hide.
Meanwhile I also want to close it when the user clicks anywhere outside my dropdown div.
My approach was to do the following on my layout.cshtml :
$(document).on("click", onDocumentClick);
function onDocumentClick(event) {
var target = $(event.target);
if (!target.hasClass('nbr-notifications')) {
if ($('#notifications-dropdown').css('display') === 'block') {
$('#notifications-dropdown').hide();
}
}
}
My question and concern is : Is this the best way to do it? From the performance perspective? Since I am handling all clicks on my document everytime.
Couldn't you use this if you are not sure where the element would be?
$('body').on("click",".nbr-notifications", onClick)
.on('blur','.nbr-notifications',closeNotifications);
function onClick(event) {
if ($('#notifications-dropdown').css('display') === 'block') {
$('#notifications-dropdown').hide();
}
}
function closeNotifications()
{
//close it
}
Here only responding to clicks on elements with the class 'nbr-notifications' rather than hooking event handler for all clicks and check if the target is the required one.
If you want the notification to disappear after it loses focus why not just bind a focusout event specifically to that element instead of click to the entire document.
http://api.jquery.com/focusout/
$('.nbr-notifications').on('focusout',function(){
//close functionality here. something like: $(this).hide();
});
I have a popup where i basically just dim the body giving it the lights out effect. I have a click handeler where if the body is clicked it will close the popup but my issue is the click handler stops all clicks even before the popup is opened. Does anyone know how i could do this so that clicking on a link before the popup is opened would go to the link but clicking one after the popup was opened would do my function and not click the link?
Heres what i use right now:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").click(function(){
var element=document.getElementById("game");
//yes i could use the jquery method for all of these but this works
element.width="650";
element.height="500";
element.style.position="relative";
$("body").fadeTo(3000,1.0);
}
return false;
})
});
You can actually add your "body" click handeler only after clicking your link/opening the popup. Then after clicking the "body" you may remove it again and restore the click handler for your link. "bind()" and "unbind()" will be handy.

Where's the jQuery? When you use jQuery, you use jQuery...
When you click on the body, you can check whether #game is visible or not and work with that:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').click(function(e){
if (!$('#game').is(':visible')) {
$('#game').width('650px');
$('#game').height('500px');
$('#game').css('position', 'relative');
$('body').fadeTo(3000, 1.0);
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
});
