replace a future title with a text input - javascript

Hi I'm trying to replace a title when clicking on it by a text input in order to modify the title, I'm using this code :
<div style="font-size: 70%;"><h2 class="outer"><?php echo $designation; ?> </h2></div>
this div is loaded using another script and therefore is not on the original page, so I think we must use the delegate method.
Here is the jquery script I'm using to turn its background color to pink:
<script src="jquery-1.10.2.min.js">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#right").delegate("h2","click",function(){
$("h2").css("background-color","pink");
});
});
</script>
Any idea how to replace the title in this div by a text input tag ? and any idea how to submit the modification to the database once I click outside the input field ? thank you

Your HTML:
<h2 style="cursor:pointer;">Click Me</h2>
Your JS:
$( "body" ).delegate( "h2", "click", function() {
$( this ).html( '<input type="text" value="yourValue">' ).find('input').focus();
$("input").focusout(function(){
$("h2").html( this.value );
}).click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
return true;
});
});
For submit your input you can use simple $.ajax POST request into ".focusout" function OR something like Aust $.post code. This is your options. just send your data.
See Demo for details.

In order to "update" the title you need to replace the html in the h2 element with an input element which is set to the current title. Then you need to add a listener so when the user clicks out of that input box it sends an AJAX request to some other site on your server that is setup to update the database with the new title. This code does the trick
$(function(){
$('#right').on('click', 'h2', function(){
var $h2 = $(this);
var old = $h2.html();
if(/<input type="text"/.test(old))
return;
$h2.html('<input type="text" value="' + old + '"/>')
.find('input')
.focus()
.on('blur', function(){
var value = this.value;
$.post('/new_title.php', {title: value})
.done(function(){
$h2.html(value);
})
.fail(function(){
$h2.html(old);
alert('Could not update title');
});
});
});
});
Make sure you change the url in $.post to the url where you setup your listener. An example listener would be like:
new_title.php
<?php
require('DB.class.php'); //Require your DB Class
if($_POST && $_POST['title']){
DB::updateTitle($_POST['title']);
}
?>

Not sure if I understand correctly what you were trying to achieve. But where does the element with id "right" come from? Is this the one that is loaded from another script? In that case, try
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('click', '#right', function(){
$("h2").css("background-color","pink");
})
});

To replace div content, use code:
$('div').html('<input type="text" name="abc" />');

button background color in button.js

So I am trying to edit the colour of a button when clicked.
here is my html and javascript
html:
<button type="submit" class="btn" id="hello-1" value="hello">Submit</button>
Here is my JS:
//Name:buttons.js
//Created by: Jonathan
//Created on: 25/09/15.
'use stict';
$( document ).ready(function(){
$('hello-1').click(function(){
document.getElementById('hello-1').style.background = "linear-gradient(#337AB7,#215480)";
});
});
I can't understand why it's not working. Any help?
Your selector is wrong. When you're selected an element by id with jQuery, you must add the # character before the id.
So instead of $('hello-1') use $('#hello-1')
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#hello-1').click(function() {
document.getElementById('hello-1').style.background = "linear-gradient(#337AB7,#215480)";
});
});
Edit:
Also when you are inside the click event handler you don't need to select the element again because this will point to the target element so your event handler can be as follows:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('hello-1').click(function() {
this.style.background = "linear-gradient(#337AB7,#215480)";
});
});
If you're using jQuery why not use it to change css? Also you're missing the #.
$( document ).ready(function(){
var $button = $('#hello-1');
$button.click(function(){
$button.css('background', "linear-gradient(#337AB7,#215480)");
});
});

Jquery get the value of the input when changing

I would like to get the value of an input and return it to a span. I would like to update the span each time the input is changing. The problem is that i will use it for a colorpicker so the user will not usualy write the color value(maybe paste it). So everytime the input textfield will be updated by the colorpicker js i want to update my own field.
I created a simple code to help you understand what i want to do.
Pressing the + you will change the value of the input field and i would like to get that value and print it in the span. Thank you.
HTML ::
<div>
<input type="text" class="mariinsky" /><button id="inside">+</button>
</div>
<button id="outside">Button</button><br />
input value = <span></span>
JS ::
var i = 0;
jQuery('button#outside').click(function() {
jQuery('div').toggle();
});
jQuery('button#inside').click(function() {
jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val(i);
i++;
});
$( '.mariinsky' ).change( function() {
var bolshoi = jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val();
jQuery( 'span' ).text(bolshoi);
});
http://jsfiddle.net/existence17/9V8ZU/1/
Add .change() to the end of your '+' handler:
jQuery('button#inside').click(function() {
jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val(i).change();
i++;
});
That will force the change event to fire and then your code will update the span.
For live DOM changes, use the jQuery on function - the following code would work in your case:
var i = 0;
jQuery('button#outside').click(function() {
jQuery('div').toggle();
});
jQuery('button#inside').click(function() {
jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val(i);
i++;
});
$( 'button#inside' ).on('click', function() {
var bolshoi = jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val();
jQuery( 'span' ).text(bolshoi);
});
jQuery doesn't automatically trigger events through code. You need to do so manually using the .trigger() method.
Adding one line did it for me: jQuery('.mariinsky').trigger("change").
Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/9V8ZU/2/
Also a useful question for reference: How to trigger jQuery change event in code
please use this :
$( '.mariinsky' ).on('keypress keyup keydown click copy cut paste', function() {
var bolshoi = jQuery( ".mariinsky" ).val();
jQuery( 'span' ).text(bolshoi);
});

jQuery change value of input and display it as text

I'm struggling with the following problem. I have input text element. I want a user to enter something there and then his value appears as a normal text (the input should disappear).
I searched for a few solutions but nothing worked for me. What I tried (whatever function I provide, I get no results, what should I provide to get the effect I described above and how to make it happen?):
$('input.modified').on('input', function(){
(this).append('<p>some</p>');
});
OR
$("input.modified").bind("propertychange change keyup paste input", function(){
$(this).append("<p>dgdgd</p>");
});
OR
$("input.modified").change(function(){
$(this).css("visibility","hidden");
}); //end change function
How to make functions like .on() or .change() work with my code?
thanks for all the answer, but I can't move your examples to my code :(
Please verify this fiddle what I'm missing:
[http://jsfiddle.net/w6242/][1]
Check this DEMO
HTML:
<input class="modified" type="text"/>
<p></p>
JS:
$("input.modified").change(function(){
$('p').html($(this).val());
$(this).css("visibility","hidden");
});
check this
Fiddle
$("#in").focusout(function(e){
$("span").html(($("#in").val()));
$(this).hide();
});
Here a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/keypaul/NsWC5/5/
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<input type="text" id="writer" />
send
</div>
JQuery
$("#submit").click(function(e){
var txt = $("#writer").val();
$("#writer").fadeOut(400);
$("#submit").fadeOut(400, function(){
$("#wrapper").append('<div id="text">' + txt + '</div>').hide().fadeIn(600);
});
e.preventDefault();
});
If you need to do that with onther event (instead of a click submit) you can use onchange or focusout applied to your input element
At its simplest, assuming you really want to replace the input:
$('#demo').on('keyup', function(e){
if (e.which === 13) {
var p = $('<p />', {
text : this.value
});
$(this).replaceWith(p);
}
});
JS Fiddle demo.
Or, to insert an adjacent element and simply hide the input:
$('#demo').on('keyup', function(e){
if (e.which === 13) {
var span = $('<span />', {
text : this.value
});
$(this).hide().after(span);
}
});
JS Fiddle demo.
The above jQuery works with the following demonstrative HTML:
<input id="demo" type="text" />
References:
after().
hide().
on().
replaceWith().

How to decide which element is being clicked in jQuery?

I have more similar elements in HTML which are being added continously with PHP. my question is the following:
With jQuery, I would like to add a click event to each of these <div> elements. When any of them is being clicked it should display it's content. The problem is that I guess I need to use classes to specify which elements can be clickable. But in this case the application will not be able to decide which specific element is being clicked, right?
HTML:
<div class="test">1</div>
<div class="test">2</div>
<div class="test">3</div>
<div class="test">4</div>
<div class="test">5</div>
jQuery try:
$("test").on("click", function()
{
var data = ???
alert(data);
});
UPDATE - QUESTION 2:
What happens if I'm placing <a> tags between those divs, and I want to get their href value when the DIV is being clicked?
I always get an error when I try that with this.
this refers to the element triggering the event. Note that it is a regular js element, so you'll need to convert it to a jQuery object before you can use jQuery functions: $(this)
$(".test").on("click", function()
{
var data = $(this).text();
alert(data);
});
Like this:
$(".test").on("click", function(event)
{
var data = $(event.target);
alert(data.text());
});
this variable contains the reference of current item
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".test").click(function(event) {
var data = $(this).text();
alert(data);
});
})
;
The class selector in jquery is $(".ClassName") and to access the value, use $(this) as such:
$(".test").on("click", function(){
var data = $(this).text();
alert(data);
});
You can use this inside the function which mean clicked div
DEMO
$(".test").on("click", function () {
alert($(this).html());
});

Jquery syntax and variables

I'm trying to make a FadeOut effect after clicking a link. But my syntax seems to be wrong. When i click, it fadeout, and go to a "~~nothing~~.html" page, it just dont get the value to compose the variable.
the id boo is attached to the tag (body id="boo") and in the css stylesheet the id #boo is set to display:none;
I'm using jquery-1.7.2.min
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#go').click(function(e) { //When something with the id 'go' is clicked,
e.preventDefault(); //Prevent default action (?)
var url = $('#go').val() + ".html"; //set url as "Clicked 'go' value + .html" (374.html"
$('#boo').fadeOut(600, function() { window.location.href = url; }); //fadeOut what is with the 'boo' id (body), and load the created address as a new page (?)
});
});
</script>
<a id="go" value="374" href="#">Go to page 374</a>
the 374.html page is in the same folder. If possible, please explain what have i done wrong, and make it step by step. I'm new to jquery.
Thank you!
the .val() method only applies to fields, just putting a value attribute on any element will not be read with the val() method.
Instead use .attr('value').
Or, its better practice to use data-* attributes and use the data() method:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#go').click(function(e) { //When something with the id 'go' is clicked,
e.preventDefault(); //Prevent default action (?)
var url = $('#go').data('value') + ".html"; //set url as "Clicked 'go' value + .html" (374.html"
$('#boo').fadeOut(600, function() { window.location.href = url; }); //fadeOut what is with the 'boo' id (body), and load the created address as a new page (?)
});
});
</script>
<a id="go" data-value="374" href="#">Go to page 374</a>
The val() function won't give you that value from an anchor tag, use attr("value") to get the valuue of the a tag
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#go').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var url = $('#go').attr("value") + ".html";
alert(url)
$('#boo').fadeOut(600, function() {
window.location.href = url;
});
});
});​
Alternatively, you can use HTML 5 data attribute to store such kind of value
<a id="go" data-someValue="374" href="#">Go to page 374</a>
And you can access it in javascript like
var someVal=$("#go").data("someValue");
sample http://jsfiddle.net/LyPZB/1/
The a tag doesn't support the attribute value, you should do like this:
set the anchor like this
<a id="go" data-page="374" href="#">...
(data-xxx are custom attributes)
and get its value with
$('#go').data('page')
In this way it will work and you will respect the HTML standard (since the anchor shouldn't have the value attribute)
Try:
var url = $('#go').attr("value") + ".html";
instead of
var url = $('#go').val() + ".html";
From the jQuery docs -
The .val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements
such as input, select and textarea. In the case of elements, the .val() method returns an array
containing each selected option; if no option is selected, it returns
null.
There's an example here - http://jsfiddle.net/A8ArH/
