Assign event to button from external library

Every time I press a button, there is a random chance that a alertify alert window popups. The alertify alert popup is something I use instead of javascript Alert, just to get a nicer design.
Alertify library
And here is a screenshot of the current situation:
I want to assign a event to the OK button. When I use the "inspect element" function in google chrome, I see that this green OK button has an id called "alertify-ok", so I want to assign an event when this button is pressed.
I've tried to add this part to my HTML document in the script part:
$( "#alertify-ok" ).on( "click",function() {alert("finally");});
But nothing happens. The reason why I need this to work, is that the youtube popupmodal should come up right after I've pressed the OK button. I belive the error comes because the alertify window with HTML is from an external library, so how can i do this?

Alerts and the others take callback functions on creation, https://github.com/alertifyjs/alertify.js/blob/0.3.12/src/js/alertify.js#L608. You don't need to attach another event listener, just give it the function you want it to execute. example below:
alertify.alert("alerttext", function(e) {
functionIWantToCall();
});

You can put the event on an element you know is already existent (like "body") and specify it to trigger only when the wanted element is clicked:
$(" body").on({
click: function () {...
}
}, "#trigger");

triggering a function onload replacing a blur()

Hi i am using a function called LoadCoordinates. My first thougt was i need to read this onload.. but after trying a lot of different codes, i cant..
This is how its triggered normally
$("#address1").blur(function()
{
loadCoordinates("");
});
The problem is to "run" this i have to click the input and then clic the body (so address1 lost focus and blur is triggered)
I have tried to load this on page load using seveeral different codes like
$(loadCoordinates(""));
or this
$(function(){
loadCoordinates();
$("#address1").blur( loadCoordinates );
});
This is not working, i think it has to do something because my select lists are using "SELECT BOX IT" http://gregfranko.com/jquery.selectBoxIt.js/
Anyway..
How can i make or trigger the same as is triggering "blur()" on the address1 input.. but when the page is ready. and after selectbox it has loaded & builded the lists with options..
Thanks

This will trigger blur. You need to make sure you do this before applying any plugin to the element, or have to use the API of the plugin to affect and changes
$("#address1").blur( loadCoordinates ).blur();

Dojo dialog close event on X (top-right)

Im using Dojo to create a simple dialog to create a user in a system. The problem is I get the error:
Tried to register widget with `id==user_submit` but that `id` is already registered
user_submit, is a Dojo button I have to finish the form inside the dialog. When I close the dialog by clicking it and submitting the form there is no problem in opening the dialog again (in the click event on the button I have this line of code:
dijit.byId("user_submit").destroy();
but if I close the dialog through the [x]-link / button in the top-right corner I don't destroy the button and then can't open the dialog again without reloading the page.
How do I get Dojo to destroy the button or how to a overload the click-event on [X]-link / button, so I can write the destroy command for the button?

"Developer shouldn't override or connect to this method" for "onCancel" see documentation.
A better solution is:
var myDialog = new Dialog({
id: "myDialogId1",
onHide: function() {
myDialog.destroy()
}
});

Found a solution. by using dojo.connect().
myDialog.connect(myDialog, "hide", function(e){
dijit.byId("user_submit").destroy();
});
Would have postet this shortly after i posted the quistion, but I didn't have enough points, so here is the answer again, just a little late :-)

IIRC, the onClose extension event gets called when you click on the X thing, so you could try putting your cleanup code there.
You could also consider sidesteping the issue entirely. Perhaps you don't need to destroy the widget and could instead reuse the same one? You could also do a widget existence test before you create it again, destroying the old version if its still alive.

You can override onCancel() method as stated above or you can attach event to the
dijit.dialog.closeButtonNode domElement.
dijit.dialog.closeButtonNode is the name of data-dojo-attach-point attribute for close button.
Exp:
dojo.on(dijit.Dialog.closeButtonNode, "click", function(evt){
//add your logic here
});

When pressing the X on the top of the dialog the "onCancel" event is triggered.
Dispose of the element there.

How can I trigger an element's default event within an event handler?

I have an HTML button that needs to check several conditions, and if they pass allow the default action to occur.
The following works in Firefox, but it fails in IE. I setup a click handler on the button:
Ext.get('send').on('click', handleSend, this, {
preventDefault: true
});
which pops up one of several message boxes if one of the conditions isn't met. If all conditions are met, I remove the click listener from the button and click the button again:
Ext.get('send').un('click', handleSend, this);
Ext.getDom('send').click();
As far as I can tell, it fails in IE (and possibly other browsers) because click() isn't a standard function for a DOM element.
If the default action were a simple form submit, I could just do that after the checks pass, but we're using Tapestry 4 with a listener, which doesn't get executed on a normal form submit.
I've tried submitting the form with
tapestry.form.submit('composeForm', 'doSend');
but the doSend listener isn't getting called.
Conditionally allowing the default event is the best solution I've come up with, but there are a couple of options that may be possible:
Is there some other way to cause a Tapestry 4 listener to be fired from within Javascript?
Is there any way to recognize the normal form submit in my Tapestry Page and thereby trigger the listener?
JSFiddle added
In this jsfiddle, the default action is to submit the form; this is prevented when the checkbox is unchecked. When checked it removes the handler, but the call to click() doesn't work in IE.
Is there a way to simulate a click in IE?
Update
Another snag in the problem is that I have to display an 'are you sure' dialog, so in order to give them time to answer, the event has to be stopped. If they click OK, the default action needs to occur. JSFiddle doesn't seem to have ExtJS widgets like MessageBox, so I'm not sure how to demo this behavior.
At #Ivan's suggestion I tried
Ext.getDom('send').fireEvent('onclick');
but it returns false, meaning the event is being cancelled somewhere. I then tried
var evt = document.createEvent("Event");
evt.initEvent('click', false, false);
var cancelled = Ext.getDom('send').fireEvent('onclick', evt);
but IE9 says that document.createEvent doesn't exist, even though this is how MSDN says to do it.

If all conditions are met, I remove the click listener from the button
and click the button again:
Don't.
You should rather check the conditions in the click handler and call stopEvent there like so:
Ext.get('send').on('click', handleClick);
function handleClick(e) {
if (condition) {
e.stopEvent();
}
}

Internet explorer does not support click. You should use fireEvent method instead e.g.
Ext.getDom('send').fireEvent('onclick');
That should work for IE. For other browsers I guess click is ok. Anyway If I should do similar task I'll try to write an adapter for tapestry and use tapestry javascript library.

There's a listener parameter on Form components; from the Tapestry 4 doc:
Default listener to be invoked when the form is submitted. Invoked
only if another listener (success, cancel or refresh) is not invoked.
Setting this parameter to my listener method like so:
<binding name="listener" value="listener:doSend" />
causes a Tapestry form submit
tapestry.form.submit('myFormId');
to trigger the listener.

Locating an element in a 'Facebox' box

Heres my link:
http://tinyurl.com/6j727e
If you click on the link in test.php, it opens in a modal box which is using the jquery 'facebox' script.
I'm trying to act upon a click event in this box, and if you view source of test.php you'll see where I'm trying to loacte the link within the modal box.
$('#facebox .hero-link').click(alert('click!'));
However, it doesn't detect a click and oddly enough the click event runs when the page loads.
The close button DOES however have a click event built in that closes the box, and I suspect my home-grown click event is being prevented somehow, but I can't figure it out.
Can anyone help? Typically its the very last part of a project and its holding me up, as is always the way ;)

First, the reason you're getting the alert on document load is because the #click method takes a function as an argument. Instead, you passed it the return value of alert, which immediately shows the alert dialog and returns null.
The reason the event binding isn't working is because at the time of document load, #facebox .hero-link does not yet exist. I think you have two options that will help you fix this.
Option 1) Bind the click event only after the facebox is revealed. Something like:
$(document).bind('reveal.facebox', function() {
$('#facebox .hero-link').click(function() { alert('click!'); });
});
Option 2) Look into using the jQuery Live Query Plugin
Live Query utilizes the power of jQuery selectors by binding events or firing callbacks for matched elements auto-magically, even after the page has been loaded and the DOM updated.
jQuery Live Query will automatically bind the click event when it recognizes that Facebox modified the DOM. You should then only need to write this:
$('#facebox .hero-link').click(function() { alert('click!'); });

Alternatively use event delegation
This basically hooks events to containers rather than every element and queries the event.target in the container event.
It has multiple benefits in that you reduce the code noise (no need to rebind) it also is easier on browser memory (less events bound in the dom)
Quick example here

P.S event delegation is pencilled to be in the next release (1.3) coming very soon.
