Can I use a standard event listener on a react plugin from my WordPress theme JS

There is a React plugin that generates a WordPress form and I want to add a focusout type of event to the inputs from my theme JS. I tried the following from my theme JS
$(document).on('focusout','.formInput input',function(){
console.log('test');
});
// also tried this
$(".formInput").focusout(function() {
console.log('test');
});
// and this
$(".formInput").on("blur", function(){
console.log('test');
});
//and this
document.getElementById( "firstName" ).onblur = function(){
console.log('test');
};
and none of these work. No errors. It seems as though the firing order is wrong. Is it how React is building the DOM? Any ideas from anyone on what I should be doing?
-thx

The reason this was not working was because React uses a virtual DOM not an actual DOM. The key was to use the body selector and then a jQuery 'on' function:
$("body").on('focusout', '.formInput', function(){
console.log('test');
});

jQuery Turnbox.JS - Animate without user interaction

I really like to use KeiichiroHirai's Turnbox.JS script (http://www.noht.co.jp/turnbox),
However, This script seems only to work with a user clicking/hovering on any button this script is appending itself to.
I wish use these animations when DOM is ready,
I tried:
$(function() {
$.turnBoxLink({
box: ".example"
});
});
But since I'm posting here, It's obviously not working.
Thank you in advance!

If you wish to do that when DOM is ready you should wrap your init code into
$(document).ready(function() {
// go when DOM is ready
});
or
$(window).load(function() {
// go when page and images are loaded
});
And also, Turnbox can be initialized like this :
HTML markup
<div class='login_form'>
<h3>My form element<h3>
</div>
With the following code you'll get the extra simple sample, without any options. but for test purposes it could be good to start here :
$(".login_form").turnBox();
If now, you want to launch the animation at specific event (for example to the ready or load event), you'll be able to do so by using :
$(".login_form").turnBoxLink({
box: ,
events: "ready", // you can also try 'load'
dist: "next"
});

After initializing, click the generated .turnBoxButton child element:
$.turnBoxLink({
box: ".example"
});
setInterval(function() {
$(".example .turnBoxButton").click();
}, 1000);
This will spin the box every second.

If You want to programmatically trigger a click event on an element with jQuery You can use the .click() function.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.sample').turnBox();
...
$('.sample').click();
});

Cant select ids that I loaded with jQuery

I understand that you need to use ".on" to use code that you loaded with jquery after the page has loaded. (At least I think it works that way)
So I tried that but it somehow just doesn't do a thing at all. No errors in the console either.
$("#forgot_password").click(function(){
var forgot_password = '<div id="toLogin" style="cursor:pointer;">Prijava</div>'
$("#loginPopupForm").html(forgot_password);
});
$("#toLogin").on("click", function(){
alert("Hello");
});
So when I click on #forgot_password it does execute the first click function. But when I click on #toLogin it doesn't do anything and I think its because its loaded with jquery when I click on #forgot_password

Try this
$("#loginPopupForm").on("click", "#toLogin", function(){
alert("Hello");
});

You need to bind to an element that is present when the page loads, like body for example. Just change your code to what is shown below
$("body").on("click", "#forgot_password", function(){
var forgot_password = '<div id="toLogin" style="cursor:pointer;">Prijava</div>'
$("#loginPopupForm").html(forgot_password);
});
$("body").on("click", "#toLogin", function(){
alert("Hello");
});

You are setting the on to the wrong thing. You want it to be:
$(document).on('click', '#toLogin', function() {alert('hello') });
The id isn't there until you do the other click event, so jQuery is not finding any element to set the click event on. You need to have an element that has been rendered in the DOM to set the event on.

You are totally right about the problem : on() targets only elements that are already existing as it runs.
What you need in jQuery is called Delegated event and is well explained on the Jquery doc page.
The difference in the code is thin, but it's how you're supposed to do.

You have to specify the parent element
$("#toLogin").on("click","#loginPopupForm", function(){
alert("Hello");
});
in the 2nd argument of the on

livejquery is not working

I am using livequery for applying jquery chosen plugin (for adding tags) on dynamically added elements. I tried :
$(".chz").livequery(function () {
$(this).chosen();
});
Through above code, choose plugin is not applying. But if i tried this :
$(".chz").livequery('click', function () {
$(this).chosen();
});
Than it works properly. But in my case i can`t use click event because until user click over the element the plugin is not applied. What i am doing working in first case ?

try something like this
$("body").on('click', '.chz'function () {
$(this).chosen();
});

when we use chosen plugin then we set class like this
class ="chzn-select"
then
$(function() {
$("chzn-select").chosen();
});
i think this will help you

jquery tipsy plugin

Tipsy jquery plugin is installed in my app
This is in my load function
$(function() {
tipsy();
});
Below code is in a js file
var htm = '<div id="new_div" onmouseover="tipsy(this);">' ;
function tipsy(tip)
{
if ( '' != sumtitle )
{
tip.title = tip.innerHTML;
}
else if(tip)
{
tip.title = tip.innerHTML;
}
$(tip).tipsy({gravity: 'w'});
}
How is that the normal title shows up first and then the jquery tip later.

This is a known bug and will be fixed in the next version. For now please use the "Download Source" link on this commit:
http://github.com/jaz303/tipsy/commit/88923af6ee0e18ac252dfc3034661674b7670a97

The tipsy plugin seems to remove the title attribute and assign its value to a custom attribute called original-title to avoid the default browser tooltip from showing. Maybe in your case, this happens too late: The mouse hovers over the element, this initiates the native browser tooltip. Then, tipsy() is executed on the element and switches the attribute name, but that is too late because the timeout for the native tooltip has already started.
You should probably prevent the default action of the event, for example:
$('#new_div').bind('mousover', function (e) {
tipsy(this);
e.preventDefault();
});
EDIT: As this does not seem to have the desired effect, please call tipsy($('#new_div')) right after the div is created and remove the mouseover handler. What you have been doing might be a bit problematic anyway: The tipsy plugin probably uses the mouseover event, and you call .tipsy( { gravity: 'w' } ) in an onmouseover event handler. Repeatedly, if you mouseout and then mousover again. That's a lot of unnecessary event assignments.

You're doing it wrong.
Try this:
$('#new_div').tipsy();
jQuery is designed for using the selectors in JS code. No onsomething events in HTML, please.

Another way is, instead of using the 'title' attribute, use 'original-title' attribute.
