I'm trying to use jQuery to simulate a click on an "Add Row" link. I want to trigger the javascript function attached to the link.
The function that adds the row is in a separate file, so I can't call it directly. (Specifically, it starts on line 57 of Django's admin inline.js file.) I guess my only other option is to trigger a click event on the link.
However, I tried to do this with:
$("tr.add-row a").trigger('click');
To no avail. It doesn't trigger the click event.
How can I get jQuery to click the link? (Or, ultimately, how can I add a row?)
Thanks in advance!
I found the problem: Django's jQuery was namespaced in django.jQuery, not the standard jQuery or $.
I had to write
var jQuery = django.jQuery;
var $ = django.jQuery;
in front of my script, and now it works.
Trigger("click") should work, you can also try like this:
$("tr.add-row a").click();
http://api.jquery.com/click/
Most likely $("tr.add-row a") doesn't find anything.

I am trying to make search work on button click on opening of popup using below jQuery code
jQuery(function($) {
$('#secondaryButton').click(function() {
alert("The paragraph was clicked.");
$("button.elementor-search-form__submit").click();
});
});
I have tried adding script code in header.php it doesn't work
I also tried adding script code in custom js on page level using elementor pro plugin, it doesn't work
I am not sure why scripting doesn't work. The link which i am working is

Once you click search icon, a popup will open and i am looking to implement search on 'search' button click. Any help would be highly appreciated.
There's two issues in your code. Firstly the right-side panel which contains the #secondaryButton element doesn't exist in the DOM when the page loads, so you need to use a delegated event handler.
Secondly, you need to invoke the click() method on the button element directly, not through jQuery. To do that use [0] to retrieve the Element from the jQuery object:
$("button.elementor-search-form__submit")[0].click();
However, in this case better practice to submit the form element would be to invoke the submit event on that element, not the click of its button:
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).on('click', '#secondaryButton', e => {
$("form.elementor-search-form")[0].submit();
});
});
That being said, the best practice would be to completely remove the need for any JS hacks to form a relationship between your form and an external submit button. If you rearrange your HTML so that the clickable 'Search' element is a <button /> element within the form then you get the behaviour you require by default, without the need for any JS.
So, i have this code snippet that opens a modal:
<button id="trigger-overlay" class="order">Open Overlay</button>
Now, i wanted to include it in Wordpress menu, but i cant add button tag there, so i added:
Open Overlay
And i am using jquery to add a ID to that link, like this:
$('.order').attr('id','trigger-overlay');
ID is added, but link doesnt open anything, aka, it links to "#" instead of opening a modal...
How could i fix this to make it work?
Thanks!
This thing may causing due to events binging order. So, your code $('.order').attr('id','trigger-overlay'); is executing right after click's binding event (I think that event looks like this one: $('#trigger-overlay').click(function() { ... });.
If you have ability to change that binding, please use jquery.on method: http://api.jquery.com/on/
So that code will looks like: $(document).on('click', '#trigger-overlay', function() { ... });.
Also you can just move $('.order').attr('id','trigger-overlay'); above the script with that event binding.
Based on your
<button id="trigger-overlay" class="order>Open Overlay</button>
I'm not sure how you got a modal to trigger, since it is not connected to an event handler like:
<button onclick="turnOverlayOn()">Demo Button</button>
In this case, there would be a function that targets the overlay/modal and turns its CSS display property from none to block or inline-block (however you would like to display it):
var turnOverlayOn = function () {
$('targetOverlayId').css('display','block')
}
I suggest focusing on attaching an onClick event that triggers a function that does what you want to make the overlay appear.
The function used to turn the overlay off could be:
var turnOverlayOff = function () {
$('targetOverlayId').css('display','none')
}
You could attach this to a different anchor tag or button to turn the overlay off.
Note: the event should work the same for an anchor tag as it does for a button.
In my understanding you want to trigger the button click event. Using the a tag with class order.
try
jQuery(document).on('click','.order',function(){
jQuery('#trigger-overlay').click();
});
You can trigger the click event using jquery. Since I have no knowledge of your DOM structure jQuery(document).on('click','.order',function().. will work even if your elements are dynamic (added to the DOM after the script execution) because the click event is bind to the document.
NOTE:
When using wordpress always use jQuery instead of $ to avoid conflicts.
Using dot.js I'm adding a button to a specific web page that, when clicked, should add some text to a text field and then trigger another button to also be clicked. I simulate this by adding a click handler to my button which has this code:
var button = $('.some-class').find('button')[0];
console.log(button); // element I expect
button.click();
However, this doesn't work and I'm not sure why. If instead of .click() I perform .remove(), the button is removed from the page. If I use the console to execute the same code, the button does get clicked. This tells me I do have the right element, but there is something wrong with the click() event specifically.
Can someone explain why this isn't working in either Safari or Chrome? I've tried a lot of different things, but I'm new to jQuery so I'm probably missing some detail in how that works.
We went to the bottom of this in the chat. What probably caused the problem was another event-handler attached to (possibly) body, that undid the click.
So the solution was to stop the event from propagating:
event.stopPropagation();
While assigning the click event handler to the button you should use jquery on
This should ensure that whenever a new button with added with same selector (as in when event was assigned), event handled will be assigned to that button
Some examples here
The problem is the click() function is from jquery and you're attempting to fire the click function from the DOM object.
Try
$(button).click();
Here's a plunk.
http://plnkr.co/edit/2pcgVt
You can use the following statement.
var button = $('.some-class').find('button')[0].trigger('click');
try jquery's trigger() function:
$(button).trigger('click');

I am using a OnePage template of bootstrap, I can not click a link, or can not switch a radio button, someone says I am using e.preventDefault()
Open this page http://abi.maxinrui.com/, you will see what I mean when you click "Click me" on that page.
I check the js file, there are lots of e.preventDefault() and I don't know how to modify them.
Is there a way to disable e.preventDefault()?
I want to have some hyperlink to another websites in my OnePage templete, so here is what I am think: I give some particular elements an ID or class, then I write some js, to disable e.perventDefault() only for these elements.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks!
If you're using jQuery to handle your events, then it's possible!
First, a fiddle (shell for full effect): http://fiddle.jshell.net/UN5WE/show/
Here's the actual fiddle to edit: http://jsfiddle.net/UN5WE/
Basically, we're modifying jQuery's Event object, and specifically, the preventDefault method found on the prototype. We maintain a reference to re-enable preventDefault.
EDIT
For your specific use case, here's a way to disable preventDefault (based on a class). Just run this script after jQuery has loaded:
jQuery.Event.prototype.preventDefault = (function(){
var originalFunc = jQuery.Event.prototype.preventDefault;
return function(){
if($(this.target).hasClass('disableDefault')) {return;}
originalFunc.call(this);
}
}())
Prior to calling preventDefault, this will check to see if the target has a disableDefault class. If it does, it returns immediately (allowing the default to happen). To test your page, copy that code into your console and then run: $('h1').addClass('disableDefault').
I don't think is possible, or at least not on an easy way that i can think of, you can unbind the handlers if they were setted using bind, but that will also remove any behavior that they have, but you can use a workaround, add a new event handler for your links, i recommend that you add a special class to external anchors and then get the href attribute from it and open a new tab using window.open like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/yV78E/2/
The html
Hey
The js
// Similar behavior that might be on your site
$('a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// some code
});
// Use the code below as a workaround
$('.externalLink').click(function(e){
var targetLink = $(this).attr('href');
window.open(targetLink, '_blank');
});
You only need the second part of the script above, since the first one is just to emulate your problem.
Let's say that I'm coding a message system for example. Users can add messages (via AJAX) and next to their messages they've got some buttons. (Edit, Remove, ...)
By loading the page, a few messages are loaded.
<div class="message">
<p>blaat</p>
Remove
</div>
<div class="message">
<p>blaat</p>
Remove
</div>
The jQuery selector knows these elements. Because they already exist when I execute the jQuery script. (document.ready)
But when I add another "message", jQuery can't handle the 'remove' link because it's loaded after running the jQuery script.
Can somebody help me out? Thanks in advance!
You can use the live method instead of bind (or the shorthand click). So it'd look like:
$('.btnRemove').live('click', function(e) { ... });
This uses event delegation, with the click event handler attached to document rather than any particular element.
You can use jQuery Live method to work on remove which is loaded using ajax.
can you post the JavaScript code with this example? off the top of my head I know the $().live function in jQuery would probably be a good fit for your needs as it will handle the buttons when they are added to the DOM... For example:
$('.btnRemove').live('click', function(e) { ... });
