So I have two click events for "button-open" and "button-close". I have one button that switches from "button-open" to "button-close" on click. So when i click it again, it should fire the event for "button-close" but instead it fires the event for "button-open" again.
Demo : jsFidde
Here's my code:
Button​
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".button-open").click(function() {
$(this).removeClass("button-open").addClass("button-close");
alert("Open Was Clicked");
});
$(".button-close").click(function() {
$(this).removeClass("button-close").addClass("button-open");
alert("Close Was Clicked");
});
});
</script>
Use on() instead of click(), since you need to bind to an element that doesn't yet exist when you initially bind it.
$(document).on('click', '.button-open', function() {
$(this).removeClass("button-open").addClass("button-close");
alert("Open Was Clicked");
});
$(document).on('click', '.button-close', function() {
$(this).removeClass("button-close").addClass("button-open");
alert("Close Was Clicked");
});

My page fetches string data from local SQL and appends it to data-role='listview' as li using function below(simplified version)
function CreateListview{
var temp ='<li>String Here</li>';
$("#<ul>-selector").append(temp).listview("refresh");
}
well, it works fine so I binded a click event for the anchor(class='.anchor')
$(document).on('vclick', '.anchor', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
OR
$(document).on('vclick', '#ul-selector > a', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
OR
$(document).on('vclick', '#ul-selector > li a', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
OR even
$(document).on('vclick', 'a', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
But nothing works
I double-checked if click event on other elements works by using the function below on dynamically added li and it sometimes works and sometime doesn't.
I don't know why it works randomly,
but I checked that click events are fired on some other dynamically added elements.
$(document).on('vclick', '#ul-selector > li', function(e){
alert("<li> CLICKED");
});
When it comes to binding click function to dynamically added anchors, the function won't be fired..
could it be a bug? or am I writing codes wrong?
Can you give me a working example binding click event to dynamically added anchor?
It seems works fine for me.
function CreateListView() {
var temp ='<li>String Here</li>';
$("#selector").append(temp).listview("refresh");
}
$(document).on('vclick', '.anchor', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
$("#createLi").on("vclick", function(){
CreateListView();
alert("test");
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js"></script>
<div id="content">
<ul id="selector">
</ul>
</div>
<input id="createLi" type="button" value="create li"/>
Am I missing something?
You're not listening to the click event but vclick(???).
$("yourUl").on('click', '.anchor', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("ANCHOR CLICKED");
});
bind the event after you append the html like this
function CreateListview{
var temp ='<li>String Here</li>';
$("#<ul>-selector").append(temp).listview("refresh");
$("#<ul>-selector > li").on("click",function(){
alert("<li> CLICKED");
});
}
check this fiddle you can apply the same logic here
I found the solution.
Problem: with cordova, 'click' on anchor doesn't fire function even with e.preventDefault(); Rather, 'touchstart' works fine.
Solution: 'click' -> 'touchstart' to work on devices
$(document).on('touchstart', '#anchor-selector', function(){
alert("touch");
});
In a script I'm writing with JQuery I'm trying to add a click handler to a div, but ignoring clicks on the children a tags inside it.
You can see a JSFiddle of how I'm currently trying (and failing) to make it happen here: http://jsfiddle.net/q15s25Lx/1/
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click', '.post:not(a)', function(e) {
alert($(this).text());
});
});
<div class="post">This is some text in a div. Click me please.</div>
In my real page, the a tags all have their own click handlers, so I need to be able to listen for those concurrently.
So, ideally I'd like to use something like the :not() selector to ignore clicks on this particular handler.
Is something like this possible?
You'll need to add another handler that acts on the anchor and stops the event from propagating:
$(document).on('click', '.post a', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
Without this, when you click the a the event bubbles up to the parent .post, and the handler fires on that anyway.
You need to stop event propagation to child elements using .stopPropagation():
$(document).on('click', '.post a', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
Working Demo
Just return false; in the end of event handler.
$(document).on('click', '.post', function (e) {
alert($(this).text());//will show entire text
});
$(document).on('click', '.post a', function (e) {
alert($(this).text());//will show 'text'
return false;
});
working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/q15s25Lx/2/
return false will server as both e.preventDefault() &
e.stopPropagation()
Try to stop the event from bubbling up the DOM tree using stopPropogation()
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click', '.post a', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
alert($(this).text());
});
});
Fiddle Demo
All of the other posts did not explain why your code failed. Your selector is saying : Find an element that has the class post and is not an anchor. It is NOT saying if a child was clicked and was an achor do not process.
Now there are two ways to solve it. One is to prevent the click from bubbling up from the anchors. You would add another listener on the anchors.
$(document).on('click', '.post a', function (evt) {
evt.stopPropagation(); //event will not travel up to the parent
});
$(document).on('click', '.post', function (evt) {
console.log("Click click");
});
Or the other option is not to add a second event, but check what was clicked.
$(document).on('click', '.post', function (evt) {
var target = $(evt.target); //get what was clicked on
if (target.is("a")) { //check to see if it is an anchor
return; // I am an anchor so I am exiting early
}
console.log("Click click");
});
Or jsut let jquery handle it all for you. return false
$(document).on('click', '.post:not(a)', function() {
alert($(this).text());
return false;
});
I have an element with some id, I changed its ID and when I click on that element (with new ID now), it still calls the function with previous ID
$('#1st').click(function(){
$('#1st').attr('id','2nd');
alert("id changed to 2nd");
});
$('#2nd').click(function(){
alert("clicked on second");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Click
Example is here
Because you add the event before the element exists. It does not find an element. Either attach the event when you change the id or you need to use event delegation.
$('#1st').on("click.one", function(e) {
$('#1st').attr('id', '2nd');
alert("id changed to 2nd");
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).off("click.one");
});
$(document).on("click", '#2nd', function() {
alert("clicked on second");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Click
Try doing it this way jsFiddle
$(document).on('click', '#2nd', function(){
alert("clicked on second");
})
.on('click', '#1st', function(e) {
$('#1st').attr('id','2nd');
alert("id changed to 2nd");
});

I created the below html with JavaScript and I want to be able to listen to the click on both the channel_li and client_li.
Generated HTML
<li cid="4" class="channel_li" style="display: list-item;">Random<ul class="client_ul">
<li class="client_li" clid="14" style="">Hanekawa</li></ul>
</li>
The second code snippet is the JavaScript I'm using to generate the elements and assign a click event. The problem I have is that when I click the channel_li nothing happens, and when I click on the client_li it triggers the channel_li listener. Is there anyway of fixing this?
JS
// Some generation code here.
// $li here is the created channel_li element.
$($li).on("click", "li", function() {
console.log("channel click");
});
// More generation code.
// $foo here is the client_li element.
$($foo).on('li', 'click', function () {
console.log("client click.")
});
You will need stopPropagation(): http://api.jquery.com/event.stoppropagation/, because nested elements are in question.
$(document).on("click", "li.channel_li", function() {
alert("channel click");
});
$(document).on("click", "li.client_li", function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
alert("client click");
});
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/W68sa/1/
Your selector is wrong, becoue $li is not a variable or valid selector:
// $li here is the created channel_li element.
$($li).on("click", "li", function() {
console.log("channel click");
});
for
// $li here is the created channel_li element.
$(document).on("click", "li", function() {
console.log("channel click");
});
How you need trigger diferens events use the clase for:
// $li here is the created channel_li element.
$(document).on("click", ".client_li", function() {
console.log("Client click");
});
// $li here is the created channel_li element.
$(document).on("click", ".channel_li", function() {
e.stopPropagation();
console.log("Channel click");
});

Description stopPropagation: Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of
the event.
I have a table with some div's inside it.
I want an event to happen when I click on a td element, but I also want an event to happen when I click on a div element.
As you can see in this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/rkGkp/1/ my problem is, when I click on the div element, both the div and td event is triggered, but I only want the div's event to be triggered.
I use these event listeners
$(function() {
$("#div").on("click", function() {
alert("a div is clicked");
});
});
$(function() {
$(".td").on("click", function() {
alert("a td is clicked");
});
});
What can I do to avoid the element behind my div to trigger an event?
Have a look here: FIDDLE
I used stopPropagation()
CODE
$("#div").on("click", function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
alert("a div is clicked");
});
This is the easiest way to achieve what you need. Simply check if the click target is on the div:
$(function() {
$("#div").on("click", function() {
alert("a div is clicked");
});
});
$(function() {
$(".td").on("click", function(e) {
if(!$(e.target).is("#div")){
alert("a td is clicked");
}
});
});
