jQuery - bind multiple events and exclude other events

I've got a search form that has both <input type="text"> and <select> form elements. Listening in to that form I've got this jQuery...
$('#searchform :input').stop().on('keyup change',function(){
// do some ajax stuff
})
The tricksy bit is the way the script listens for multiple events using .on('keyup change' etc.). This works great but there's a problem...
When the input fields lose focus the script jquery listener is triggered.
Here's a demonstration to explain what I mean https://jsfiddle.net/o2k4jf90/1/
I want to do something like this...
$('#searchform :input').stop().on('keyup change not:blur',function(){
// do some ajax stuff
})
...but clearly that's nonsense. What can I do?

Try substituting input event for change , keyup events
$(document).ready(function () {
$(':input').on('input',function(e) {
$('#report').append('stuff happened<br />');
})
});
jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/o2k4jf90/3/

The issue is because the change event fires when an input field loses focus, and when the chosen option of a select is modified. To achieve what you need, you would need to bind the events separately. Try this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('input').keyup(stuffHappened);
$('select').change(stuffHappened);
})
function stuffHappened() {
$('#report').append('stuff happened<br />');
}
Updated fiddle
You can still use a single event handler if you hook the event to the form, however you would need to check the type and target.tagName of the event to achieve the same logic, which is not pretty at all:
$('form').on('keyup change', function(e) {
if ((e.type == 'change' && e.target.tagName == 'SELECT')
|| (e.type == 'keyup' && e.target.tagName == 'INPUT')) {
$('#report').append('stuff happened<br />');
}
});
For this reason, I would suggest using the former method.

Preventing multiple clicks on button

I have following jQuery code to prevent double clicking a button. It works fine. I am using Page_ClientValidate() to ensure that the double click is prevented only if the page is valid. [If there are validation errors the flag should not be set as there is no postback to server started]
Is there a better method to prevent the second click on the button before the page loads back?
Can we set the flag isOperationInProgress = yesIndicator only if the page is causing a postback to server? Is there a suitable event for it that will be called before the user can click on the button for the second time?
Note: I am looking for a solution that won't require any new API
Note: This question is not a duplicate. Here I am trying to avoid the use of Page_ClientValidate(). Also I am looking for an event where I can move the code so that I need not use Page_ClientValidate()
Note: No ajax involved in my scenario. The ASP.Net form will be submitted to server synchronously. The button click event in javascript is only for preventing double click. The form submission is synchronous using ASP.Net.
Present Code
$(document).ready(function () {
var noIndicator = 'No';
var yesIndicator = 'Yes';
var isOperationInProgress = 'No';
$('.applicationButton').click(function (e) {
// Prevent button from double click
var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate();
if (isPageValid) {
if (isOperationInProgress == noIndicator) {
isOperationInProgress = yesIndicator;
} else {
e.preventDefault();
}
}
});
});

Validator causes improper behavior for double click check
Whether to use Page_IsValid or Page_ClientValidate() (for Client Side Events)
Note by #Peter Ivan in the above references:
calling Page_ClientValidate() repeatedly may cause the page to be too obtrusive (multiple alerts etc.).

I found this solution that is simple and worked for me:
<form ...>
<input ...>
<button ... onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Submitting...'; this.form.submit();">
</form>
This solution was found in:
Original solution

JS provides an easy solution by using the event properties:
$('selector').click(function(event) {
if(!event.detail || event.detail == 1){//activate on first click only to avoid hiding again on multiple clicks
// code here. // It will execute only once on multiple clicks
}
});

disable the button on click, enable it after the operation completes
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btn").on("click", function() {
$(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
doWork(); //this method contains your logic
});
});
function doWork() {
alert("doing work");
//actually this function will do something and when processing is done the button is enabled by removing the 'disabled' attribute
//I use setTimeout so you can see the button can only be clicked once, and can't be clicked again while work is being done
setTimeout('$("#btn").removeAttr("disabled")', 1500);
}
working example

I modified the solution by #Kalyani and so far it's been working beautifully!
$('selector').click(function(event) {
if(!event.detail || event.detail == 1){ return true; }
else { return false; }
});

Disable pointer events in the first line of your callback, and then resume them on the last line.
element.on('click', function() {
element.css('pointer-events', 'none');
//do all of your stuff
element.css('pointer-events', 'auto');
};

After hours of searching i fixed it in this way:
old_timestamp = null;
$('#productivity_table').on('click', function(event) {
// code executed at first load
// not working if you press too many clicks, it waits 1 second
if(old_timestamp == null || old_timestamp + 1000 < event.timeStamp)
{
// write the code / slide / fade / whatever
old_timestamp = event.timeStamp;
}
});

you can use jQuery's [one][1] :
.one( events [, data ], handler ) Returns: jQuery
Description: Attach a handler to an event for the elements. The handler is executed at most once per element per event type.
see examples:
using jQuery: https://codepen.io/loicjaouen/pen/RwweLVx
// add an even listener that will run only once
$("#click_here_button").one("click", once_callback);

using count,
clickcount++;
if (clickcount == 1) {}
After coming back again clickcount set to zero.

May be this will help and give the desired functionality :
$('#disable').on('click', function(){
$('#disable').attr("disabled", true);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="disable">Disable Me!</button>
<p>Hello</p>

We can use on and off click for preventing Multiple clicks. i tried it to my application and it's working as expected.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#disable").on('click', function () {
$(this).off('click');
// enter code here
});
})

This should work for you:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.applicationButton').click(function (e) {
var btn = $(this),
isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate(); // cache state of page validation
if (!isPageValid) {
// page isn't valid, block form submission
e.preventDefault();
}
// disable the button only if the page is valid.
// when the postback returns, the button will be re-enabled by default
btn.prop('disabled', isPageValid);
return isPageValid;
});
});
Please note that you should also take steps server-side to prevent double-posts as not every visitor to your site will be polite enough to visit it with a browser (let alone a JavaScript-enabled browser).

The absolute best way I've found is to immediately disable the button when clicked:
$('#myButton').click(function() {
$('#myButton').prop('disabled', true);
});
And re-enable it when needed, for example:
validation failed
error while processing the form data by the server, then after an error response using jQuery
Another way to avoid a quick double-click is to use the native JavaScript function ondblclick, but in this case it doesn't work if the submit form works through jQuery.

One way you do this is set a counter and if number exceeds the certain number return false.
easy as this.
var mybutton_counter=0;
$("#mybutton").on('click', function(e){
if (mybutton_counter>0){return false;} //you can set the number to any
//your call
mybutton_counter++; //incremental
});
make sure, if statement is on top of your call.

If you are doing a full round-trip post-back, you can just make the button disappear. If there are validation errors, the button will be visible again upon reload of the page.
First set add a style to your button:
<h:commandButton id="SaveBtn" value="Save"
styleClass="hideOnClick"
actionListener="#{someBean.saveAction()}"/>
Then make it hide when clicked.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".hideOnClick").click(function(e) {
$(e.toElement).hide();
});
});

Just copy paste this code in your script and edit #button1 with your button id and it will resolve your issue.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button1").submit(function() {
$(this).submit(function() {
return false;
});
return true;
});
});
</script

Plain JavaScript:
Set an attribute to the element being interacted
Remove the attribute after a timeout
If the element has the attribute, do nothing
const throttleInput = document.querySelector('button');
throttleInput.onclick = function() {
if (!throttleInput.hasAttribute('data-prevent-double-click')) {
throttleInput.setAttribute('data-prevent-double-click', true);
throttleInput.setAttribute('disabled', true);
document.body.append("Foo!");
}
setTimeout(function() {
throttleInput.removeAttribute('disabled');
throttleInput.removeAttribute('data-prevent-double-click');
}, 3000);
}
<button>Click to add "Foo"!</button>

We also set the button to .disabled=true. I added the HTML Command input with type hidden to identify if the transaction has been added by the Computer Server to the Database.
Example HTML and PHP Commands:
<button onclick="myAddFunction(<?php echo $value['patient_id'];?>)" id="addButtonId">ADD</button>
<input type="hidden" id="hasPatientInListParam" value="<?php echo $hasPatientInListParamValue;?>">
Example Javascript Command:
function myAddFunction(patientId) {
document.getElementById("addButtonId").disabled=true;
var hasPatientInList = document.getElementById("hasPatientInListParam").value;
if (hasPatientInList) {
alert("Only one (1) patient in each List.");
return;
}
window.location.href = "webAddress/addTransaction/"+patientId; //reloads page
}
After reloading the page, the computer auto-sets the button to .disabled=false. At present, these actions prevent the multiple clicks problem in our case.
I hope these help you too.
Thank you.

One way I found that works is using bootstrap css to display a modal window with a spinner on it. This way nothing in the background can be clicked. Just need to make sure that you hide the modal window again after your long process completes.

so I found a simple solution, hope this helps.
all I had to do was create a counter = 0, and make the function that runs when clicked only runnable if the counter is = 0, when someone clicks the function the first line in the function sets counter = 1 and this will prevent the user from running the function multiple times when the function is done the last line of the code inside the function sets counter to 0 again

you could use a structure like this, it will execute just once:
document.getElementById('buttonID').addEventListener('click', () => {
...Do things...
},{once:true});

Disable button after submit with jQuery

I know there are a lot of questions about it, but I tried several solutions, and nothing works.
In my django app I have a form:
<form method='post'>
<button type='submit'>Send</button>
</form>
I wan't to disable the button once the user has submitted the form. Using other questions, I tried several things, like:
<button type='submit' onclick="this.disabled=true">Send</button>
When I click, the button is disabled... but the form is not submitted. And for each try I had the same issue: either the button is disabled or the form is submitted. I can't find how to do both...
I'm using Chrome. Any idea on why I have this problem? Thank you for your help.

Try this:
$('form').submit(function() {
$(this).find("button[type='submit']").prop('disabled',true);
});

I like this, don't have to traverse the DOM.
Put function on a setTimeout function, this allows make submit and after disable button, even if setTimeout is 0
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnSubmit").click(function () {
setTimeout(function () { disableButton(); }, 0);
});
function disableButton() {
$("#btnSubmit").prop('disabled', true);
}
});

You could disable it upon the parent form's submit event:
$("form").on("submit", function () {
$(this).find(":submit").prop("disabled", true);
});
Be sure to run this code only after the HTMLFormElement has been loaded, or else nothing will be bound to it. To ensure that the binding takes place, fire this off from within a document-ready block:
// When the document is ready, call setup
$(document).ready(setup);
function setup () {
$("form").on("submit", function () {
$(this).find(":submit").prop("disabled", true);
});
}

Something like this might work.
<button id="btnSubmit" type='submit'> Send </button>
<script>
$("#btnSubmit").on("click", function(e){
e.PreventDefault();
$(this).closest("form")[0].submit();
$(this).prop('disabled',true)
});
</script>

Try, like this,
<input type="submit" value="Send" onclick="javascript=this.disabled = true; form.submit();">

This ended up being the best solution for me
$("form").submit(function disableSubmit() {
$("input[type=submit]", this).prop("disabled", true);
});

my variant, disable button, no direct disabled but only vidible hidden:
<input type="submit" name="namebutton" value="Nahrát obrázek" onclick="this.style.visibility='hidden';" ondblclick="this.style.visibility='hidden';"/>

You can do something like this. It is work fine with me.
<form method='post' onSubmit='disableFunction()'>
// your code here
</form>
Then in script, add this
<script>
function disableFunction() {
$('#btn_submit').prop('disabled', true);
}
</script>

How about this?
onclick="this.style.visibility='hidden';"
I would say, instead of disabled, hide it.
If you want to go with disabled
onclick="this.style.disabled='true';"

Got an issue on Chrome, wasn't submitting the form. Tried a bunch of different code, this was what worked best for me (and looks best imo):
$('#form_id').submit(function() {
$("input[type='submit']", this)
.val("Please Wait...")
.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
return true;
});
Replace form_id with the id of your form. Classes work too of course: $('.form_class')
Source: JavaScript Coder

I like this better:
<script>
var submit = false;
$('form').submit(function () {
if (submit) { return false; }
else { submit = true;}
});
</script>
this way it also prevents the enter key to submit more than once

I'm using Chrome. Any idea on why I have this problem?
Well, first time I dealt with this, I solved it like this:
function blockButtons() {
$('button:submit').click(function(){
$('button:submit').attr("disabled", true);
});
}
This worked perfectly, but... in Mozilla Firefox. The Google Chrome did not submit it, so I changed it to this:
function blockButtons() {
$('button:submit').click(function(){
var form = $(this).parents('form:first');
$('button:submit').attr("disabled", true);
$('button:submit').css('opacity', 0.5);
form.submit();
});
}
This worked both in Mozilla Firefox, however, after that some of our users using old versions of IE experienced trouble of having two submits. That is, the one initiated by the javascript, and the one by browser ignoring the fact of onclick and just submitting anyway. This can be fixed by e.preventDefault, I guess.

If you don't want an element to be double-clicked, use .one()
<button id="submit" type="submit">Send</button>
<script>
$(function () {
$("#submit").one("click", function () {
//enter your submit code
});
});
.one()

You can do something like this. It is work fine with me.
$("button#submitted").click(function () {
$("button#submitted").prop('disabled', true);
});
Double click on your button. This code will running

You must prevent the form from being submitted more than once, disabling the button is not the right solution because the form could be submitted in other ways.
JavaScript:
$('form').submit(function(e) {
// if the form is disabled don't allow submit
if ($(this).hasClass('disabled')) {
e.preventDefault();
return;
}
$(this).addClass('disabled');
});
Once the form is correctly disabled, you can customize its appearance.
CSS:
form.disabled {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.7;
}

jQuery - radio button click()

Is it possible to disable standard action being performed while clicking radio button? (without "disable" attr)
So when i click particular radio button, nothing happens. Tried .unbind('click') but doesnt seem to work.
Ty in advance for help

You can use the preventDefault() method exposed by the event object:
$("input:radio").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
EDIT: Unfortunately, this does not seem to prevent the browser from checking the radio button that is clicked first (jsFiddle is in "emergency read-only" mode, so I cannot post a demo right now).

This should work:
$('#myradio').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});

Just try this.
$('input:radio').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
Demo

You can try this, this will stop propagation :
$("#my-radio-btn").live("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});

Actually, the first time you click the radio, the checked property is set and hence it shows as checked in browser ( for the firtst time ).
So this piece of code will solve the issue
[I am using jquery library]
$('input:radio').click(function(){
$(this).prop('checked',false);
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});

You need to use event.disableDefault in the function you give to jQuery click.
$("#my_element").click(
function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// the rest of your code goes here
}
);

How to prevent a form to be sent when hitting enter on a none-form input-field? (DNN)

On a page I have a google search-field and a separate form for a login. In order to make the search-field work with enter, I included the following script:
$('#searchBox').keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
document.location.href = "someTargetPage.html";
}
});
The only problem is that in that case the form would be sent because the search-field is included within the form, which I can't change due to the architecture of dot net nuke. I tried to prevent that like this:
$('form').delegate('input:submit', 'click',
function () {
return false;
});
Now the search-field does work nicely with enter, but the submit-button from the form won't work! Is there a way to check from where the trigger comes and either allow or deny it?
Thx for any tipps!

Remove your code that stops the input button from working (your delegate on input:submit). You just need to make #searchBox not propagate the event up to the form. It's the search box handler that needs to cancel the event by returning false:
$('#searchBox').keydown(function (event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
document.location.href = "someTargetPage.html";
return false;
}
});

if you actually want to totally disable the form, just return false on it's onsubmit event:
$("#searchform").live("onsubmit", function(){ return false; });
