Replicating a select element with a checkbox ul (jQuery)

I'm trying to transform a fieldset with one legend and one UL of checkboxes/radio as a select html element. I know, it sounds bad and doesn't really make sense, but let's just say I have to do it.
I have a jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/demj49st/
The problem is that I have some issues replicating the click behavior of the select element. I don't find the right selector to make it so a click on a checkbox wont make the fake select box disappear.
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$('fieldset legend').on('click', function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.toggleClass('active');
$this.next().toggleClass('visible');
})
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
if($('ul').hasClass('visible') && !$('fieldset legend').is(e.target)) {
$('ul').removeClass('visible');
$('legend').removeClass('active');
}
});
})
})(jQuery);

$(document).ready(function() {
$('fieldset legend').on('click', function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.toggleClass('active');
$this.next().toggleClass('visible');
});
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
if (!$("fieldset > ul , fieldset > legend").is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& $("fieldset > ul , fieldset > legend").has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
$('fieldset > ul').removeClass('visible');
}
});
});

How to change text to textbox on clicking it

Here is the fiddle for changing the label's value by clicking on it.
But i don't want to do it while i click on the edit (href)
I just want to click on the name and change it to textbox and while i take the mouse outside it should change back to label
How can i do this ?
Here's the jquery code i have
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.edit').click(function () {
var dad = $(this).parent().parent();
dad.find('label').hide();
dad.find('input[type="text"]').show().focus();
});
$('input[type=text]').focusout(function() {
var dad = $(this).parent();
$(this).hide();
dad.find('label').show();
});
});

How about something like this. Demo
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.control-label').click(function () {
$(this).hide();
$(this).siblings('.edit-input').show();
});
$('.edit-input').focusout(function() {
$(this).hide();
$(this).siblings('.control-label').text($(this).val()).show();
});
});

You could try it with this modified version of the fiddle:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.control-label').click(function () {
$(this).hide();
var dad = $(this).parent();
dad.find('input[type="text"]').show().focus();
});
$('input[type=text]').focusout(function() {
var dad = $(this).parent();
$(this).hide();
dad.find('label').text(this.value).show();
});
});
It doesn´t set the default value that was in the label before though.

Just change the target of your click function from:
$('a.edit').click(function () {
to
$('.text-info').click(function () {
You could also add a hover function if you want the input to be hidden on mouseout rather than when clicking outside. For example:
$('input[type=text]').hover(function () {
}, function () {
var dad = $(this).parent();
$(this).hide();
dad.find('label').show();
});
Here your adjusted fiddle.

Change bgcolor on toggled tr and on key shortcut

I have the following toggle function filter() where I display the childrow of a table when the <tr> parent is being clicked. In this function I've also included a key shortcut, so whenever ALT+A is pressed all the childrows are displayed.
In addition I have another script, mouseover(), where the background color of the parent tr is changed to #2C4367 hover.
So here's my question: How can I toggle the background-color of a tr parent whenever I expand (click on) it and back to normal when it is closed. This function should also work on all tr parents when the key shortcut is pressed, so the background color of all parent tr's is changed when the shortcut is being pressed.
I hope I made myself clear. Otherwise please say so and I will try to elaborate.
Toggle filter() script:
$(document).ready(function mouseover(){
$(".parent").hover(function(){
$(this).css("background", "#2C4367");
$(this).css("color", "#FFFFFF");
},
function(){
$(this).css("background", "#FFFFFF");
$(this).css("color", "#000000");
});
});
Change bgcolor mouseover() script:
$(document).ready(function filter() {
$('table.detail').each(function() {
var $table = $(this);
$table.find('.parent').click(function() {
$(this).nextUntil('.parent').toggle(); // must use jQuery 1.4 for nextUntil() method
}); /// Below is toggle on image
var $childRows = $table.find('tbody tr').not('.parent').hide();
$("img.pushme").toggle(function funcVis() {
$childRows.show();
},
function() { $childRows.hide();
});
shortcut.add("Alt+A",function(){ funcVis() }); /// Shortcut functions
shortcut.add("Alt+N",function(){ expandform() }); /// Shortcut functions
});
});

Create a CSS class that defines the background-color change, and apply or remove it with
$(target).parent().toggleClass('yourclass');
Insert this line wherever the expand is triggered.

Solved!
JSFiddle
function toggle(it) {
if ((it.className == "") || (it.className == "rowactive")) {
it.className = "rownotactive";
} else {
it.className = "rowactive";
}
}
$(document).ready(function filter() {
$('table.detail').each(function () {
var $table = $(this);
$table.find('.parent').click(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('rowactive');
$(this).nextUntil('.parent').toggle();
}); /// Below is toggle on image
var $childRows = $table.find('tbody tr').not('.parent').hide();
$("img.pushme").toggle(function funcVis() {
$("tr.parent").addClass('rowactive');
$childRows.show();
},
function () {
$("tr.parent").removeClass('rowactive');
$childRows.hide();
});
shortcut.add("Alt+N", function () {
expandform()
}); /// Shortcut functions
});
});

Jquery toggle background color

I have a jquery function that when a li is clicked, the li expands. That part is working fine. Now, I want, when the li is clicked it toggles a background color. But it works, however when i have to click on the li item again to untoggle the background color. Can someone assist me in the right direction on how to achieve this.
$(function() {
$('.a').click(function() {
var name = $(this).attr("name");
var content = $('.content[name=' + name + ']');
$('.content').not(content).hide('fast');
$('.selected').css('background', 'yellow');
content.slideToggle('fast');
});
$("li").click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("highlight");
});
});​

On every click set your <li>-s to default color and highlight the current:
$("li").click(function() {
$("li").removeClass("highlight");
$(this).addClass("highlight");
});
...
UPDATE
http://jsfiddle.net/NXVhE/4/
$(function() {
$('.a').click(function() {
$(this).removeClass("highlight");
var name = $(this).attr("name");
var content = $('.content[name=' + name + ']');
$('.content').not(content).hide();
content.toggle();
});
$("a").click(function () {
$("a").removeClass("highlight");
if ( $(".content").is(":visible") ) {
$(this).addClass("highlight");
}
});
});

Assuming the <li>s are all siblings, it would be slightly more efficient to do something like this, and would allow for more than one list on the same page to function independently of one another (again, assuming that is the desired functionality)
$('li').click(function() {
$('this').addClass('highlight').siblings().removeClass('highlight').
});

jquery select any dom element on page

Does anyone know how to select any element (possibly on click) on page like body is selected, div is selected, div#foo etc... so i can place it to some variable and edit it later on.
i've tried
$("*", document.body).click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var domEl = $(this).get(0);
alert("Clicked on - " + domEl.tagName);
});
but it's not working for all elements

You want to get the target property of the event:
$(document).click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var domEl = e.target; // or $(e.target) to jQuerytize it
alert("Clicked on - " + domEl.tagName);
});
See: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_properties.html
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/karim79/dyHEA/

Try this.
$(function(){
$("*").click(function () {
console.log($(this));
return false;
}
);
});
