Replacing asp:imagebutton with processing image using jquery - javascript

So I have an asp:imagebutton for lets say loginning into a web site.
OnClick the page does xyz and then redirects you, there is a pause time between the redirect from when the button was clicked. To make the wait a bit more user friendly I am replacing the button with a processing image and text the javascript that does this is:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".ShowProcessing").click(function () {
$(this).replaceWith("<img src='/content/images/processing.gif' /> Processing");
});
});
This is the button:
<asp:ImageButton ID="Login" runat="server" OnClick="Login_Click" CssClass="ShowProcessing" />
The problem is the change to processing image happens but the asp OnClick event however does not fire.

Instead of replacing the entire element with something else entirely, just alter the src of the current element:
$(".ShowProcessing").click(function () {
$(this).attr("src", "/content/images/processing.gif");
});
This is if ImageButton is rendered as an img proper, somewhere, and not just some funky input with scripting (I don't recall off the top of my head, and webforms does some things in strange ways). Then proceed to insert text after the existing element as desired.

Instead of using .replace() tried and succeeded with:
$(".ShowProcessing").click(function () {
$(this).hide();
$(this).after("<img src='/content/images/processing.gif' /> Please wait..." )
});

I guess you may try to remove the first image and then add the new processing image.
instead of replace use (Remove then add) functions.

Javascript code to Jquery code not working

I have an image that is changed when I click on several links. The following javascript code works well :
<img src="myImage.png" id="mainImg" />
Report1
Report2
But I'm trying to change the code to use Jquery code instead. It calls the same server code as the javascript example. No errors are generated & a png is streamed back. But the image is not updated on the html page. To make things worst, the html moves to the top of the page. In the working javascript code, the image would fresh with a nice ajaxy feel where only the image would change & the rest of the page would not move. My Jquery code is below :
<img src="myImage.png" id="mainImg" />
Report1
Report2
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$("#report1_id").click(function(e) {
alert("This Is Report1");
d = new Date();
$("#mainImg").attr("src", "http://localhost/convertToReport1.do?"+d.getTime());
});
$("#report2_id").click(function(e) {
alert("This Is Report2");
d = new Date();
$("#mainImg").attr("src", "http://localhost/convertToReport2.do?"+d.getTime());
});
});
</script>
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
From your code, the image src should change, but maybe it doesn't change to what you'd like. Make sure that http://localhost/convertToReport1.do returns exactly what you need (ideally, you can specify that in the question itself).
The page jump happens because of the anchors href attribute. Either remove it, or prevent the default anchor behaviour in your click handler function, like this:
$("#report1_id").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // <--- this is the key, return false would also work at the end
alert("This Is Report1");
d = new Date();
$("#mainImg").attr("src", "http://localhost/convertToReport1.do?"+d.getTime());
});

Javascript replace content innerhtml on click with integrated PHP tag

I am trying to replace the content of a DIV once the button inside that DIV is clicked, (basically replacing the button, which retreives a PHP variable:
<div id="buttonholder">
Publish
</div>
I am trying to replace it with an unpublish button after a post is published (when the button above is clicked):
function publish(status){
document.getElementById("buttonholder").innerHTML = 'Unpublish';
}
It does not work however ... What am I doing wrong ?
Your code syntax is wrong. Use like below.
function publish(status){
document.getElementById("buttonholder").innerHTML = 'Unpublish';
}
Add a button id and then do:
$(function() {
$("#buttonId").click(function() {
$("#buttonHolder").html(" html to replace with ");
});
});
Also you can use the $("#buttonHolder").html(" html to replace with "); instruction in your onClick function as well.

casperjs: how do I click a remote div and then update it's class name?

As a way of learning CasperJS, I am trying to initiate a click event on a div on a remote page, and then change the class name of the div after I have clicked it. The idea is to find the first clickable div, click it, and then mark it as clicked so I can skip over it to other clickable divs. The markup for the div tag on the remote page looks like:
<div class='clickable_div'></div>
I have tried the following casperjs code:
...
casper.then(function() {
if( this.exists( 'div.clickable_div' ) ) {
this.evaluate(function() {
this.click(document.querySelector('div.clickable_div'));
return document.querySelector('div.clickable_div').setAttribute("className","clicked");
});
}
});
...
It doesn't seem to work. First, I don't think I am initiating the mouse click event on the div correctly. What am I missing? Second, when I fetch the updated html, I don't see any changes in the div's class name. Am I going about this step in the wrong way?
You're calling this.click within evaluate(), it just can't work as evaluate() executes code within the page DOM context where there's probably no window.click method.
Here's a possibly working script:
var linkSelector = 'div.clickable_div';
casper.then(function() {
if (!this.exists(linkSelector)) return;
this.click(linkSelector);
this.evaluate(function(linkSelector) {
__utils__.findOne(linkSelector).setAttribute("className", "clicked");
}, linkSelector);
});
You may want to have better handling of errors and edge cases, but you get the idea.

How do I run a jQuery function when any link (a) on my site is clicked

I have a new site build on corecommerce system which does not have much access to HTML and non to PHP. Only thing I can use is JavaScript. Their system is currently not great on page load speed so I wanted at least customers to know something is happening while they wait 5-8 seconds for a page to load. So I found some pieces of code and put them together to show an overlay loading GIF while page is loading. Currently it will run if you click anywhere on the page but I want it to run only when a link (a href) on the site is clicked (any link).
I know you can do a code that will run while page loading but this isn't good enough as it will execute too late (after few seconds)
Anyway, this is my website www.cosmeticsbynature.com and this is the code I use. Any help will be great.
<div id="loading"><img src="doen'tallowmetopostanimage" border=0></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ld=(document.all);
var ns4=document.layers;
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;
var ie4=document.all;
if (ns4)
ld=document.loading;
else if (ns6)
ld=document.getElementById("loading").style;
else if (ie4)
ld=document.all.loading.style;
jQuery(document).click(function()
{
if(ns4){ld.visibility="show";}
else if (ns6||ie4)
var pb = document.getElementById("loading");
pb.innerHTML = '<img src="http://www.cosmeticsbynature.com/00222-1/design/image/loading.gif" border=0>';
ld.display="block";
});
</script>
Doing this will be easier if you include jQuery in your pages. Once that is done, you can do:
$('a').click(function() {
// .. your code here ..
return true; // return true so that the browser will navigate to the clicked a's href
}
//to select all links on a page in jQuery
jQuery('a')
//and then to bind an event to all links present when this code runs (`.on()` is the same as `.bind()` here)
jQuery('a').on('click', function () {
//my click code here
});
//and to bind to all links even if you add them after the DOM initially loads (`on()` is the same as `.delegate()` here; with slightly different syntax, the event and selector are switched)
jQuery(document).on('click', 'a', function () {
//my click code here
});
Note: .on() is new in jQuery 1.7.
what you are doing is binding the click handler to the document so where ever the user will click the code will be executed, change this piece of code
jQuery(document).click(function()
to
jQuery("a").click(function()
$("a").click(function(){
//show the busy image
});
How about this - I assume #loading { display:none}
<div id="loading"><img src="http://www.cosmeticsbynature.com/00222-1/design/image/loading.gif" border=0></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('loading').style.display='block'; // show the loading immediately
window.onload=function()
document.getElementById('loading').style.display='none'; // hide the loading when done
}
</script>
http://jsfiddle.net/vol7ron/wp7yU/
A problem that I see in most of the answers given is that people assume click events only come from <a> (anchor) tags. In my practice, I often add click events to span and li tags. The answers given do not take those into consideration.
The solution below sniffs for elements that contain both events, which are created with jQuery.click(function(){}) or <htmlelement onclick="" />.
$(document).ready(function(){
// create jQuery event (for test)
$('#jqueryevent').click(function(){alert('jqueryevent');});
// loop through all body elements
$('body *').each(function(){
// check for HTML created onclick
if(this.onclick && this.onclick.toString() != ''){
console.log($(this).text(), this.onclick.toString());
}
// jQuery set click events
if($(this).data('events')){
for (key in($(this).data('events')))
if (key == 'click')
console.log( $(this).text()
, $(this).data('events')[key][0].handler.toString());
}
});
});
Using the above, you might want to create an array and push elements found into the array (every place you see console.log

jQuery "window.location.hash" - getting hash too late?

I'm working on some script but it have a serious problem with hashes.
I have a list of link-images like:
<img src="1.jpg" />
<img src="2.jpg" />
<img src="3.jpg" />
All I want to do is to load file files/#1.html after clicking the first image, files/#2.html after the second etc.
Here's my jQuery function:
$("a img").click(
function()
{
var hash = window.location.hash;
$("#displayFile").load('files/'+ hash +'.html');
$("#displayFile ").fadeIn(300);
});
So when I click a image it should add hash to the url (href="#1"), load the right file to #displayFile div and fade it in.
But actually when I click the image it shows empty #displayFile div and after i refresh the site with the same hash it loads the content. I believe the script gets the hash long before it's in URL.
How to fix it?
Thanks.
Event handlers run before default actions. Short of nasty tricks involving setTimeout you can't get the link to be followed before the function completes.
Read this.href instead.
That said, it sounds like you are using arbitrary fragment identifiers instead of URIs to sensible things. If so: I'd fix up the href so it points to a real URL that loads the image. Build on things that work.
When you click the link, code will be executed in the following order:
jQuery click-handlers
onclick-handlers
native/default behavior (calling the link, writing it to window.location)
I would recommend that you use this.href instead. Also use e.preventDefault() so the native/default behavior isn't performed by the browser.
Since the default event changing the location.hash hasn't happened yet, you can fetch the .hash from the anchor directly instead, like this:
$("a img").click(function() {
var hash = this.parentNode.hash;
$("#displayFile").load('files/'+ hash +'.html').fadeIn(300);
});
Though, since the image is the only thing, you can attach the handler to the <a> itself, like this:
$("a").click(function() {
$("#displayFile").load('files/'+ this.hash +'.html').fadeIn(300);
});
