Click link to execute a function? - javascript

I want to run a function after a link has been clicked.
The link I would like to point to the function is the one with the cancelLink class. The first link is here to show you as an example how I'm getting the AppointmentId the first link works by passing a parameter to another page.
I would like to be able to click the Cancel link and run a function on the current page.
Here are my links:
Invoice |
<a href="#" class="cancelLink" data-attr=${AppointmentId}>Cancel</a>
Below is my click function which is under the document ready:
$('a.cancelLink').click(function () {
var appointmentId = $(this).attr("data-attr");
//var appointmentId = $(this).attr("appointmentId");
MemberWebService.AppointmentStatusUpdate(appointmentId, 3, function () {
window.location = 'AppointmentViewAll.aspx';
});
});
Currently code does not enter this click function, how could I achieve this?

Your code seems fine to me. Here is a working plunk. Have you tried put a 'console.log("sample test");' inside your click handler to see if it's firing? Could you please also post how did you wrap your code inside $(document).ready() ?
Did you do it this way?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.cancelLink').click(function () {
var appointmentId = $(this).attr("data-attr");
//var appointmentId = $(this).attr("appointmentId");
MemberWebService.AppointmentStatusUpdate(appointmentId, 3, function () {
window.location = 'AppointmentViewAll.aspx';
});
});
});

try this:
$('a.cancelLink').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var appointmentId = $(this).attr("data-attr");
//var appointmentId = $(this).attr("appointmentId");
MemberWebService.AppointmentStatusUpdate(appointmentId, 3, function () {
window.location = 'AppointmentViewAll.aspx';
});
});
i hope it helps.

I found a few possible causes, see my comments;
HTML
Invoice
Cancel // Use quotes
Javascript
$(document).ready(function() { // Only access elements once the DOM is loaded
$(document).on('click', 'a.cancelLink', function(event) { // Try using on() instead of click() as you seem to be using some templating for creating the link ("${AppointmentId}").
event.preventDefault(); // DonĀ“t follow the link to #
var appointmentId = $(this).data('attr'); // Use data() instead of attr()
console.log(event.type, appointmentId); // View your console
MemberWebService.AppointmentStatusUpdate(appointmentId, 3, function() {
window.location = 'AppointmentViewAll.aspx';
});
});
});
See on() and data().

Use the onclick method to call a function and add parameters.
Cancel
function bindCancel(appointmentId) {
MemberWebService.AppointmentStatusUpdate(appointmentId, 3, function () {
});
}

How to use hide() in Javascript

I am trying to hide a div the id of which I stored in a variable named 'post_container_id'. My code is:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
// Add event listener to following button
document.querySelectorAll('.post-edit').forEach(item => {
var itemid = item.getAttribute('id').slice(5,)
item.addEventListener('click', () => edit_post(itemid));
})
});
function edit_post(itemid) {
var post_container_id = `#post-container-${itemid}`;
(function(){
$(post_container_id).hide(1000);
});
};
This does not hide the div. It does not throw any error either. The function does get triggered (I checked it by logging to console). What am I doing wrong?
There is a mistake here:
(function(){
$(post_container_id).hide(1000);
});
You are just declaring the function, you should also call it:
(function(){
$(post_container_id).hide(1000);
})();
Also, the callback is useless in this case, you can just solve it as:
function edit_post(itemid) {
var post_container_id = `#post-container-${itemid}`;
$(post_container_id).hide(1000);
};
$("#hide").click(function(){
edit_post(1);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="post-container-1">secret</div>
<button id="hide">Click to hide</button>
You can also use vanilla JavaScript to hide/show the element directly by changing the style display property. As follows
function edit_post(itemid) {
const post_container_id = document.querySelectorAll(`#post-container-${itemid}`);
post_container_id.style.display = 'none';
};
Without jQuery,
document.getElementById(post_container_id).style.display = "none"

Jquery .change() event fires only once

So I'm fairly novice with jquery and js, so I apologise if this is a stupid error but after researching I can't figure it out.
So I have a list of data loaded initially in a template, one part of which is a dropdown box that lets you filter the data. My issue is that the filtering only works once? As in, the .change function inside $(document).ready() only fires the once.
There are two ways to reload the data, either click the logo and reload it all, or use the search bar. Doing either of these at any time also means the .change function never fires again. Not until you refresh the page.
var list_template, article_template, modal_template;
var current_article = list.heroes[0];
function showTemplate(template, data)
{
var html = template(data);
$("#content").html(html);
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
var source = $("#list-template").html();
list_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
source = $("#article-template").html();
article_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
source = $("#modal-template").html();
modal_template = Handlebars.compile(source);
showTemplate(list_template,list);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = list.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
$("#classFilter").change(function()
{
console.log("WOW!");
var classToFilter = this.value;
var filteredData =
{
heroes: list.heroes.filter(function(d)
{
if (d.heroClass.search(classToFilter) > -1)
{
return true;
}
return false;
})
};
console.log(filteredData);
showTemplate(list_template,filteredData);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = filteredData.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
});
$("#searchbox").keypress(function (e)
{
if(e.which == 13)
{
var rawSearchText = $('#searchbox').val();
var search_text = rawSearchText.toLowerCase();
var filteredData =
{
heroes: list.heroes.filter(function(d)
{
if (d.name.search(search_text) > -1)
{
return true;
}
return false;
})
};
console.log(filteredData);
showTemplate(list_template,filteredData);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = filteredData.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
}
});
$("#logo").click(function()
{
showTemplate(list_template,list);
$(".articleButton").click(function()
{
var index = $(this).data("id");
current_article = list.heroes[index];
showTemplate(article_template,current_article);
$('.poseThumb').click(displayModal);
});
});
//$("#logo").click();
});
function displayModal(event)
{
var imageNumber = $(this).data("id");
console.log(imageNumber);
var html = modal_template(current_article.article[0].vicPose[imageNumber]);
$('#modal-container').html(html);
$("#imageModal").modal('show');
}
I should note two things: first, that the search bar works perfectly, and the anonymous function inside both of them is nearly identical, and like I said, the filtering works perfectly if you try it after the initial load. The second is that the same problem occurs replacing .change(anonymous function) with .on("change",anonymous function)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I agree with Fernando Urban's answer, but it doesn't actually explain what's going on.
You've created a handler attached to an HTML element (id="classFilter") which causes part of the HTML to be rewritten. I suspect that the handler overwrites the HTML which contains the element with the handler on it. So after this the user is clicking on a new HTML element, which looks like the old one but doesn't have a handler.
There are two ways round this. You could add code inside the handler which adds the handler to the new element which has just been created. In this case, that would mean making the handler a named function which refers to itself. Or (the easier way) you could do what Fernando did. If you do this, the event handler is attached to the body, but it only responds to clicks on the #classFilter element inside the body. In other words, when the user clicks anywhere on the body, jQuery checks whether the click happened on a body #classFilter element. This way, it doesn't matter whether the #classFilter existed when the handler was set. See "Direct and delegated events" in jQuery docs for .on method.
Try to use some reference like 'body' in the event listeners inside your DOM like:
$('body').on('click','.articleButton', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('click','#classFilter', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('keypress','#searchbox', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
$('body').on('click','#logo', function() {
//Do your stuff...
})
This will work that you can fire it more than once.

pass value/variable from fancybox iframe to parent

I'am trying to pass a variable/ value from the fancybox iframe to the parent window without success.
Fancybox is launched from a link with
class="fancybox fancybox.iframe"
My code in the fancybox.iframe is:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.insert_single').click(function(){
var test = $('.members_body').find('{row.U_USERNAME}');
setTimeout(function(){ parent.$.fancybox.close();},300);return true;
});
});
Where '{row.U_USERNAME}' is the username to find in the iframe.
Then, in the parent there's the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.fancybox').fancybox(
{
openEffect:'fade',
openSpeed:500,
afterClose: function(){
alert($(".fancybox-iframe").contents().find(test));
$('#form input[name=username]').val()(test);return false;
}
}
);
});
But when the fancybox is closed, there's no alert showing up with the variable "test", nor the variable is showing up as a value or as a text in the input field of the form.
I've read and tried various solutions found here on stackoverflow without success.
Thanks in advance for helping
EDIT
Here's an Example
When the fancybox is closed the iframe is removed from the document. So you must use beforeClose event instead of afterClose
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.fancybox').fancybox({
openEffect:'fade',
openSpeed:500,
beforeClose: function() {
// working
var $iframe = $('.fancybox-iframe');
alert($('input', $iframe.contents()).val());
},
afterClose: function() {
// not working
var $iframe = $('.fancybox-iframe');
alert($('input', $iframe.contents()).val());
}
});
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/NXY7Y/1/
EDIT:
I edited your jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/NXY7Y/9/). Update is in this link
http://jsfiddle.net/NXY7Y/13/
Main page javscript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.fancybox').fancybox({
openEffect:'fade',
openSpeed:500//,
//beforeClose: function() {
// // working
// var $iframe = $('.fancybox-iframe');
// alert($('input', $iframe.contents()).val());
//},
//afterClose: function() {
// // not working
// var $iframe = $('.fancybox-iframe');
// alert($('input', $iframe.contents()).val());
//}
});
});
function setSelectedUser(userText) {
$('#username').val(userText);
}
No need to use afterClose or beforeClose events. Just access the parent function setSelectedUser from the iframe on link click event like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.insert_single').click(function() {
parent.setSelectedUser($(this).text());
parent.$.fancybox.close();
});
});
Some clarifications :
You should use .find() to find elements by selector (you are trying to find a variable .find(test), which is not a valid format).
You should use .val() to get the contents of an input field or .val(new_value) to set the contents of an input field
You should use .html() or .text() to get the contents of any element other than input,
example: having this html code
<p class="test">hola</p>
... and this jQuery code
var temp = $(".test").html();
... temp will return hola.
On the other hand, if you have control over the iframed page and it's under the same domain than the parent page, then you may not need to set any jQuery in the child page.
so, having this html in the child (iframed) page for instance
<div class="members_body">
<p>GOOGLE</p>
<p>JSFIDDLE</p>
<p>STACKOVERFLOW</p>
</div>
You could set this jQuery in your parent page to get the contents of any clicked element in your child page :
var _tmpvar; // the var to use through the callbacks
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
type: "iframe",
afterShow: function () {
var $iframe = $('.fancybox-iframe');
$iframe.contents().find(".members_body p").each(function (i) {
$(this).on("click", function () {
_tmpvar = $('.members_body p:eq(' + i + ')', $iframe.contents()).html();
$.fancybox.close();
}); // on click
}); // each
},
afterClose: function () {
$('#form input[name=username]').val(_tmpvar);
}
});
}); // ready
Notice that we declared the var _tmpvar globally so we can use it within different callbacks.

Calling a function (ex. namespace.show) by name

I want to call a function with a namespace based on its name.
Perhaps some background: What I want is, dynamically bind pages via $.mobile.loadPage(inStrUrl, { showLoadMsg: false }); and then, based on the current page, invoke a function within a loaded page. For example: each page has a showFilter function, the Event is attached to a main.html - page which should call the matching function in the current page.
I also tried some solutions, with jquery too, but nothing works for me.
This is my function code:
function namespace() { }
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
And want to "invoke" or "call" it via its name.
This is what i tried at least.
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace.showFilter"];
fn();
});
I get error TypeError: fn is not a function
Here is a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/1/
You can call it in the following way:
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"]["showFilter"]();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"].showFilter();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});
I found that I had to manually set it to window.
window.namespace = function() { }
window.namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
};
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace"]["showFilter"];
fn();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/4/
Like this:
$(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});
P.S. I shortened the $(document).ready(...)
function namespace() {}
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = namespace.showFilter();
fn();
});

Function becomes undefined after first trigger

I have a block of code like so:
function doSomething() {
someVar.on("event_name", function() {
$('#elementId').click(function(e) {
doSomething();
});
});
}
// and on document ready
$(function () {
$('#anotherElemId').click(function () {
doSomething();
});
});
The problem that I'm encountering is that when I call doSomething() from anotherElemId click event(that is binded on document ready) it works as expected, but calling it recursively from elementId click doesn't work.
Any ideas? Thinking is something trivial that I'm missing.
Is someVar an actual jQuery reference to a dom element? (e.g. $('#someitem'))
The second problem is you cant put a .click event inside a function that you would like to instantiate later on. If you are trying to only allow #elementId to have a click event AFTER some previous event, try testing if a tester variable is true:
var activated = false;
$(function () {
$('#anotherElemId').click(function () {
activated = true;
});
$('#secondElemId').on("event_name", function() {
if (activated) {
// code that happens only after #anotherElemId was clicked.
}
});
});
