How to tell where my JavaScript click event is being canceled

I'm working on a Shopify project and am not the original developer, who is unavailable, along with an un-minified version of the javascript file included on every page.
The original site has a page displaying a grid of employee headshots. I have been tasked with enhancing by making it such that each headshot has an overlay that displays some additional info and that clicking on either the headshot image OR the overlay (and its contents) will take some additional action.
Each grid item (headshot) essentially looks like this:
<div class="wrap">
<img src="PATH_TO_IMG">
<div class="info">Danny Testeroni</div>
</div>
and my event listener/handler looks like this:
const $item = document.querySelector('.wrap');
$item.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
console.log(e.target);
});
All works as expected.
Clicking anywhere within the grid item, console.logs the image UNLESS you click anywhere on the overlay, in which case, it console.logs the overlay container. This is what I need.
However when I add this to the actual Shopify template (in which this global JavaScript file gets included), i get different results.
Clicking anywhere within the grid item, console.logs the image UNLESS you click anywhere on the overlay, in which case, it console.logs NOTHING.
The only thing I can conclude is that something in the global JavaScript file is canceling the click event at the <img> so it never makes it to the overlay. Is this the case? If so, is there any way to tell where this is happening and possibly overriding it with my new script? And if not, any ideas why clicks on the overlay may not be registering in the actual Shop as opposed to my bare bones prototype, which can be seen in this Codepen?

You can remove the arrow function on your addEventListener handle and use this, to reference the element it was attached to
const $item = document.querySelector('.wrap');
$item.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
console.log(this);
})
<div class="wrap">
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0598/3089/4765/articles/barber-culture_x700.png?v=1646319227">
<div class="info">Danny Testeroni</div>
</div>

manually create spinning activity indicators

I apologize if this question is answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
I am working on editable javascript grid for MS Dynamics CRM and I am trying to display loading screen when user clicks "Save" button on the grid (the loading spinner should only be covering my grid - which is actually a HTML web resource displayed inside the CRM window). It takes about 2-5 seconds until CRM system saves the data and reloads my grid. So I want to display the loading screen during that time.
I found spin.js http://spin.js.org/ and it seems that it can be easily implemented but I am failing to realize on what event should I display the loading screen?
Basically, I have a table and when user clicks "Save" or "Delete" button, I wish to show that there is something going on under the hood.
Thank you very much for you time and help!

It sounds like you know what you want to call from spin.js, you're just trying to figure out where to call it from. You can try adding this to your javascript, where "#saveButton" and "#deleteButton" are the css identifiers for the buttons you want to fire the script off of.
$("#saveButton").click(function(){
displayLoadingPage();
});
$("#deleteButton").click(function(){
displayLoadingPage();
});
function displayLoadingPage() {
//call your spin.js code here.
}
Let me know if this answers what you were getting at.

I know you have got your answer but I think you can do it using vanilla JS code rather than using a library like spin.js
All you need is :
1) A div which is hidden on page load covering your table with spinner aligned center in it
2) On Save/Delete button click you can just make the div visible.
3) Hide the div again once you receive response from the rest api that saves or delete the data.
Below is the HTML:
<div class="container">
<div id="loading" class="loading" onClick="hideSpinner()">
Loading…
</div>
<input type="button" value="save" / id="saveBtn" onClick="showSpinner()">
</div>
JS Code:
var loadingDiv = document.getElementById('loading');
function showSpinner() {
loadingDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
function hideSpinner() {
loadingDiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
Here is a demo : http://codepen.io/AshutoshD/pen/dMEGqM
Click anywhere on the overlay to close it.
I have used the overlay that #MattIn4D has created here

Show hidden DIV in bootstrap modal with jQuery

I have the following form:
Whenever the user clicks on 'Don't have a Paypal account?', I want to display another form within the modal.
However, after displaying the hidden DIV and scrolling the modal, the background fade will scroll as well.
My jQuery code:
var cardForm = $('#card-form');
cardForm.hide();
$("#display-card-form").click(function (e) {
cardForm.show();
e.preventDefault();
});

If possible, upgrade from v3.3.2 to v3.3.4. This issue will be resolved.
I attempted an example first in 3.3.4, as that is what I am on. Once you specified you were on 3.3.2, I downgraded and saw your issue. This was a bug they fixed in the latest release (#15881).
Hope this helps.

Hide/show html content with javascript

I'm looking for javascript that will allow more HTML to appear on a website when a user clicks on an icon. I'm working on my first ever mobile design, and am building a prototype with html,css and javascript. Here is what I have so far: http://www.patthorntonfiles.com/snk_mobile
What I want to happen is when users click on the search icon at the top, a search box appears. I don't want the jquery accordion effect or something similar. I just want some HTML to appear and then disappear when a user clicks on the icon again or hits search.
Any recommendations for code or libraries for me to look at what be great. I don't need you to give me the code, but my Google searches aren't turning up exactly what I'm looking for.

Here's a non-jQuery solution:
document.getElementById("identifier").style.setProperty("visibility", "hidden");
and
document.getElementById("identifier").style.setProperty("visibility", "visible");

I know you said you don't want to use the jQuery accordion effect, but using jQuery to animate the opacity?. Please see below.
$("#idClicked").click(function() {
$("#searchBox").fadeTo("fast", 1);
});

jQuery's hide() and show() will do exactly that (they don't have any accordion effect, they just appear and dissapear with no ornaments).
$('#HtmlId').hide();
$('#HtmlId').show();
Additionally you get toggle(), to hide if shown and show if hidden:
$('#HtmlId').toggle();
---- Edit ----
After reading your comment, imagine you have the html:
<li><img id='hideShowIcon' src="patthorntonfiles.com/snk_mobile/search.gif"; width="50px'"/></li>
And the div to hide/show is:
<div id="search"> <gcse:search></gcse:search> </div>
Then you bind the click event to the image with the callback function performing the toggle:
$("#hideShowIcon").click(function() {
$('#search').toggle();
});
----- Edit 2-----
I saw your site and you don't have a document ready function. Basically it should look like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#hideShowIcon").click(function() {
$('#search').toggle();
});
});
If you don't add this, jQuery tries to bind the action to an element that doesn't exist yet.

showSettings callback in Flex?

I am pretty new to flex, so forgive me if this is an obvious question.
Is there a way to open the Security.showSettings (flash.system.Security) with a callback? or at least to detect if it is currently open or not?
My flex application is used for streaming audio, and is normally controlled by javascript, so I keep it hidden for normal use (via absolute positioning it off the page).
When I need microphone access I need to make the flash settings dialog visible, which works fine, I move it into view and open the dialog.
When the user closes it, I need to move it back off the screen so they don't see an empty flex app sitting there after they change their settings.
thanks :)

If you do something like this, it will work in some situations:
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onMicStatus);
If you are just trying to use the microphone and relying on Flash to pop up the dialog to ask the user for permission, Flash will open a dialog with two buttons, Allow and Deny. When the user clicks one of the buttons the StatusEvent will fire, the dialog will close, and you can move the flex app out of the way.
If you are manually opening the settings panel (via Security.showSettings), you get the panel with Allow and Deny radio buttons, and the event will fire when the user clicks on the radio buttons, not when they close the panel, which is probably of less help to you.

Update: flex 4 solution
So when I moved to the flex 4 and started compiling my mxml with adobe's open source mxmlc compiler, the solution below no longer worked because the alert doesn't lose focus when you're in the settings anymore.
As far as I could tell I had to move to a less elegant solution where the user must click "OK" on the alert box every time they are done with the settings.
Here is the new code:
private function setup_smart_hide():void {
// Call this function whenever you make the flex app visible (or add it
// to a show_flex() function if you have such a thing set up)
alert = Alert.show('Click "OK" to continue.', 'Thanks!', Alert.OK, null, function(e:CloseEvent):void {
// calls the external javascript to hide the flex app
hide_self();
});
}
OLD: (flex 3) Got this working...
private function setup_smart_hide():void {
alert = Alert.show('Thanks');
alert.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, function(event:FocusEvent):void {
// javascript to hide the flex app
ExternalInterface.call("SB.flex.hide");
});
alert.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, function(event:FocusEvent):void {
// javascript to show the flex app
ExternalInterface.call("SB.flex.show");
});
alert.setFocus();
}
Which is run first thing in the init() function... the only problem is (like Wesley said), the focusOut event occurs when the flex app itself loses focus as well.
