Here's what I'm trying to do here -
Take input from a form field and append the data in a div option-badges
The badges have X button that I'm using to remove the items clicked if needed
What's the problem?
With the code I've written, I'm unable to remove the said appended badge while I'm easily able to remove the badges which were there already.
Here's the code. Please help me with this. Thanking in anticipation.
$(document).ready(function() {
//take input data from first input field and display comma separated in second field
let dataList = [];
let dataString = "";
$("#addData").on('click', function() {
let data = $("#firstInput").val();
let dataBadge = '<span class="badge badge-secondary" style="margin-left: 5px;">' +
data + '   <i id="newBadge" class="fa-solid fa-xmark" ></i></span>';
$('.option-badges').append(dataBadge);
$("#firstInput").val('');
})
//remove badge on clicking x
$(".option-badges > span > i").on("click", function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
})
})

Try with on off click like
$(document).off('click', '.option-badges > span > i');
$(document).on('click', '.option-badges > span > i', function () {
$(this).parent().remove();
})
$(document).ready(function() {
//take input data from first input field and display comma separated in second field
let dataList = [];
let dataString = "";
$("#addData").on('click', function() {
let data = $("#firstInput").val();
let dataBadge = '<span class="badge badge-secondary" style="margin-left: 5px;">' +
data + '   <i id="newBadge" class="fa-solid fa-xmark" ></i></span>';
$('.option-badges').append(dataBadge);
$("#firstInput").val('');
})
//remove badge on clicking x
$(document).off('click', '.option-badges > span > i');
$(document).on('click', '.option-badges > span > i', function () {
$(this).parent().remove();
})

Why MDCSelect:change is not working when i call it before appending all options
MDCSelect:change is working when i put it after appending list BUT UI does not look good.
Question: How to make MDCSelect:change to working without harming ui look.
It works perfectly when i shuffle the code of those 2 lines
$('#select_dropdown').html(usersStr);
initializeSelect();
With the above code select UI does not look good when you click outside anywhere or simply
for a better view, I have created codepen here: https://codepen.io/eabangalore/pen/poNmBpm?editors=1010
var selectBoxMap = {};
function initializeSelect(){
var mdcSelectList = document.querySelectorAll(' .mdc-select');
if(mdcSelectList){
[].forEach.call(mdcSelectList,function(el){
var select = new mdc.select.MDCSelect(el);
el.setAttribute('ripple-attached', true);
var dropDownId = $(el).find('ul.mdc-list').attr('id');
selectBoxMap[dropDownId] = select;
});
}
}
$(async function(){
var results = await $.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
var usersStr = '';
for(var i = 0; i < results.length; i++){
var item = results[i];
usersStr += `<li class="mdc-list-item" data-id="${item.id}" role="option">
<span class="mdc-list-item__ripple"></span>
<span class="mdc-list-item__text" data-id="${item.id}">

</li>`
}
initializeSelect();
$('#select_dropdown').html(usersStr);
for(var key in selectBoxMap){
if(selectBoxMap[key]){
selectBoxMap[key].listen('MDCSelect:change', (e) => {
alert('dropdown changed');

I am trying to trigger a function through a event listener with only one click.
But it occurs after two click (in the first time) if I don't do F5 its trigger after one click.
Code:
HTML
<div class="main-header-navbar">
....
<span class="main-header-navbar-right-icons">
<i class="fas fa-search header-icon"></i>
<i class="fas fa-plus header-icon"></i>
</span>
</div>
JS
const ADD_FORM_BUTTON = document.querySelector(".fa-plus");
ADD_FORM_BUTTON.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (ADD_FORM.style.display === "none") {
ADD_FORM.style.display = "flex";
} else ADD_FORM.style.display = "none";
});
What am I missing?
You probably need to add style="display: none;" to your ADD_FORM so that it's initially hidden, then when you click on the fa-plus it will display it. See the snippet below:
const ADD_FORM_BUTTON = document.querySelector(".fa-plus");
const ADD_FORM = document.getElementById("form");
ADD_FORM_BUTTON.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (ADD_FORM.style.display === "none") {
ADD_FORM.style.display = "flex";
} else {
ADD_FORM.style.display = "none"
};
});

<i class="fas fa-plus header-icon"></i>

<div id="form" style="display: none;">ADD_FORM</div>

I'm working on wishlist, i have heart icon on each item, Now i want to display total number of item added in wishlist. What is proper way to do this?
$(function() {
$('body').on('click', '.fav-icon', function() {
var icon = $(this);
var icon_fa_icon = icon.attr('data-prefix');
if (icon_fa_icon === "far") {
icon.attr('data-prefix', 'fas');
$('.search-list-box .fav-icon').each(function() {
var fasLength = $(this).attr('data-prefix', 'fas');
var wishlistDiv = +$(fasLength).length;
$('.wishlist_count sup').text(wishlistDiv);
});
} else {
icon.attr('data-prefix', 'far');
}
});
});

Part of your problem is with these lines:
var fasLength = $(this).attr('data-prefix', 'fas');
var wishlistDiv = +$(fasLength).length;
That first line is setting the data-prefix attribute to fas on all elements so they are all chosen on first click. As it's selecting all elements the count is wrong. To fix this you need to use an attribute selector:
var fasLength = $('[data-prefix="fas"]').length;
Finally you also need to amend the count of selected items when something is deselected, so the count logic should be run outside of the if condition. The calculation also does not need the each()loop.
The complete logic will then look like this:
$(function() {
$('body').on('click', '.fav-icon', function() {
var $icon = $(this).attr('data-prefix', function(i, v) {
return v == 'far' ? 'fas' : 'far';
});
var fasLength = $('[data-prefix="fas"]').length;
$('.wishlist_count sup').text(fasLength);
});
});

I want to delete current list item after clicking on its close icon. I'm adding list items using javascript function. Please check the image and my code for reference. Thanks in advance.
code is below:
function addServices() {
var service = $.trim($('#services').val());
if (service != "") {
var value = $('<li class="service-name" onclick="removeServices()">' + service + '<i class="fa fa-times" aria-hidden="true" alt="Remove icon" title="Remove"></i></li>');
$('.products-list').append(value).children(':last').hide().fadeIn(400);
}
};
function removeServices() {
$(this).parent().remove();
};
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h4 class="heading">3. Buisness Products & Services* - <span class="subheading">Enter all services that your business offers (Max
80 charcters)</span></h4>
<input type="text" id="services" name="tagline" maxlength="60" required="" placeholder="Enter products and services your business
offers." />
<input type='button' value='+ Add' id='add' onclick="addServices()" class="add" />
<ul class="products-list col-xs-12" id='list'></ul>
<div class="both"></div>
Thank you all genius coder on this community. Take a bow!!!
1.Remove unnecessary spaces you have in your <li> adding code.
2.You need to pass this in you onclick function and then it will work:-
function addServices() {
var service = $.trim($('#services').val());
if (service != "") {
//remove unnecessary spaces from below line
var value = $('<li class="service-name" onclick="removeServices(this)">' +service + '<i class="fa fa-times" aria-hidden="true" alt="Remove icon" title="Remove"></i></li>');
$('.products-list').append(value).children(':last').hide().fadeIn(400);
}
};
function removeServices(ele) {
$(ele).parent().remove(); // or try $(ele).remove();
};
Working snippet:-
function addServices() {
var service = $.trim($('#services').val());
if (service != "") {
var value = $('<li class="service-name" onclick="removeServices(this)">' +service + '<i class="fa fa-times" aria-hidden="true" alt="Remove icon" title="Remove"></i></li>');
$('.products-list').append(value).children(':last').hide().fadeIn(400);
}
};
function removeServices(ele) {
$(ele).parent().remove(); // or try $(ele).remove();

Attach the listener properly using Javascript instead of as an HTML attribute (which is as bad as eval). Also, your current HTML string needs to be fixed - the last line needs a starting ' (and the second to last line needs a ' +)
You might just use a template literal instead if you find the quotes hard to deal with:
function addServices() {
var service = $.trim($('#services').val());
if (service === "") return;
var li = $(`<li class="service-name">
${service}<i class="fa fa-times" aria-hidden="true"
alt="Remove icon" title="Remove"></i></li>`);
li.click(removeServices);
$('.products-list').append(li).children(':last').hide().fadeIn(400);
}
function removeServices() {
$(this).parent().remove();
}
I played a little with your code.
Here is a working snippet with comments:
function addServices() {
var service = $.trim($('#services').val());
if (service != "") {
var value = $('<li class="service-name">' + service + '<i class="fa fa-times" aria-hidden="true" alt="Remove icon" title="Remove"></i></li>');
$('.products-list').append(value).children(':last').hide().fadeIn(400);
}
};
// This one is better than using the inline "onclick"
// #list is a fix element, These are dynamic ones
// ↓ ↓
$('#list').on('click', '.service-name .fa-times', function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
});

Hope it helps.
just use on
$('#services').on('click','li i',function()
$(this).parent().remove();
});
that is very simple, but you can i see the below link and change your code.
JsFiddle Sample
i hope help
// find elements
var $list = $(".list");
var $list_item = $(".list-item i");
$list_item.each(function() {
$(this).on('click', function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
});
Instead of using removeServices() try using .click()
$('.service-name i').click(function(){
$(this).parent().remove();
});
I have an ul (unordered list) which contains several li (list items) when I click on the + sign left to li, console log should output "description expanded" For the two first li, it works just fine, but not for any other li's. The html code by default includes only 2 li's. any li after that is added through the form. However, any new li does not produce the console log output. Which means they're not responding to clicks. I'm using jQuery to listen for click events. When clicking on the icon.

ok for dynamically added elements the even listener needs to be defined at the root / document level. so
$("class").on("click", function() { });
will not work. It needs to be
$(document).on("click", ".class", function() { });
Thanks to "MADDY BLACKLISTED" above pointed me in right directions
Use
$(document).on("click", ".plus", function() {
console.log("description expanded")
var plusId = $(this).attr("id"); //grabbing id of plus sign
showDescription(plusId);
return false;
});
Instead of having a static click listener defined at document load.
