I'm using this javascript code:
document.getElementsByName("commit")[0].click();
to perform a click on a button, the problem is that when I send the command sometimes the page is't loaded , so it can't be clicked .
So how i can perform the click until it actually happens ?
i have tried something like this:
if (document.readyState === 'complete') { //don't work
document.getElementsByName("commit")[0].click();
}
but it doesn't work. (I can't use jquery, cause I'm on a chrome extension)
Firing it on the DOMContentLoaded event should do the trick
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
document.getElementsByName("commit")[0].click();
})
Try this
window.onload = function() {
console.log("page loaded");
//your code here
}
I would also be sure that you are including your javascript files at the bottom of the page and not the top.
Try this code:
document.querySelector('#myBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
// do some stuff here
});

I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to dynamically change the src of a <script> tag (or load a new script tag) and have the previous script no longer execute. Example below:
index.html
<button id="action">Click</button>
<script id="javascript-file-script" type="text/javascript" src="/js/oldjsfile.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#javascript-file-script").remove();
setTimeout(function() {
$('body').append('<script id="javascript-file-script" src="/js/newjsfile.js" type="text/javascript"><\/script>')
}, 100);
});
</script>
oldjsfile.js
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log('old file loaded');
$('#action').click(function() {
alert('old');
});
});
newjsfile.js
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log('new file loaded');
$('#action').click(function() {
alert('new');
});
});
Before changing the javascript file, clicking on #action would have 1 alert "old". Once I change the script, and click on #action I get both alerts "old" and "new". Is there a way to "unload" the previous file so that the original click function is removed/not executed?
I'm looking for a solution other than changing ids or editing the scripts. I'm thinking this isn't possible because the script is already in memory.
That isn't possible. It is already loaded and running. You should consider using .on and .off for binding to the click event.
To begin, you definitely do not want to load and unload scripts as that will cause other problems and loading scripts should be done asynchronously.
For your first event, you did everything fine.
For the second event, it has to happen when something else happens. In my snippet below, I created another button and when that was clicked it took off the old event and added the new one. This doesn't have to happen on button click it can be on anything but you have to remove the old event with unbind and create a new one just like you did originally.
To try the example below, click the first button and you'll see an alert of 'old'. Then click on the second button and click on the first button again and you'll see 'new'.
$(document).ready(function () {
// The original click event.
$('#action').click(function () {
alert('old');
});
// Let's set up a reference to our new button which will cause the #action click to change.
$('#changeAction').click(function () {
// Unbind the previous click event associated with #action:
$('#action').unbind('click');
// Create the new click event.
$('#action').click(function () {
alert('new');
});
});
});
<button id="action">Click</button>
<button id="changeAction">Click me to change the action of the first button</button>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
I have a DIV that is in an .html file that is loaded into my document via:
$(document).Ready( function() {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html")
//some.html contains a button id=saveButton
$("#saveButton").click( function () {
alert("Here I am!");
}
});
The event will not fire. If I cut the content of some.html and put it in the document, uhm, "physically", the event will fire.
So, I am pretty sure this issue is related to the fact that the html is injected via .load().
It's bothersome, because if you look at the page source, all the HTML is in fact there, including the button.
So, the question is, is there ANY way to make this work? I am using .load() to reduce page complexity and increase readability, and, code-folding notwithstanding, I really do not want to have to pull all this HTML into the document.
EDIT: This code was just typed in off the cuff. It's not a cut-n-past of the actual code, and it is just to demonstrate what the problem is. But, thanks for pointing it out.
EDIT2: Grrrrrrr. });
load() is asynchronus so you need to the job in the callback :
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html", function(){
//some.html contains a button id=saveButton
$("#saveButton").click( function () {
alert("Here I am!");
});
});
});
Hope it helps :)
one way is by adding to the some.html the script line which will be loaded as the div appears.
You can add this script to some.html(in a script tag):
registerButton();
and then you can define registerButton() in your current document.
other way, if I remember correctly is by using something like the function bind( )
If you want to fire event on element which was not available at the time when DOM was ready then you need to use .on event.
http://api.jquery.com/on/
$("#saveButton").on("click", function() {
alert("Here I am!");
});
jquery load() function is asynchronous. If you want to bind events to the loaded content, you should put the code into the callback function:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html", function() {
//you should put here your event handler
});
});
Your issue is that jquery load() function is asynchronous as #lucas mention. But his code has syntax errors, try this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html", function () {
$("#saveButton").click(function () {
alert("Here I am!");
});
});
});
Hope it helps now
You need to bind the event handler either after the load OR to the container of the HTML from the load
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html", function() {
$("#saveButton").on('click',function() {
alert("Here I am! Bound in callback");
});
});
});
OR use: (not needed that it be in the document ready just that the contentDiv be present)
$("#contentDiv").on('click','#saveButton',function(){
alert("Here I am! bound to container div");
});
EDIT: load on the SAVE button click (per comments) (this makes no sense though)
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#saveButton").on('click',function() {
$("#contentDiv").load("some.html", function() {
alert("Here I am! Bound in callback");
});
});
});
My problem is that following code works fine (dialog show once on startup), but when I navigate to another page (with standard ajax activated), and then navigate back to the first page, the dialog is showing again (and then in a loop manner when I click "dismiss").
What am I doing wrong?
Code looks like that:
$(document).on('pageinit', '#pageindex', function(event) {
setTimeout(function(){
$('#dialog').click();
$('#dialog').remove();
},1000);
});
For a quick fix, replace .on with.one. However, normally pageinit event should fire once only, so there must be something causing it to fire multiple times.
The following code is executed once on single/multipage page and multiple pages approach:
$(document).on('pageinit', '#pageindex', function (event) {
$(this).off(event);
setTimeout(function () {
$('#dialog').click();
$('#dialog').remove();
}, 1000);
});
I'm using some embed codes that insert HTML to the page dynamically and since I have to modify that dynamically inserted HTML, I want a jquery function to wait until the page has loaded, I tried delay but it doesnt seem to work.
So for example, the dynamically inserted HTMl has an element div#abc
and I have this jquery:
if ( $('#abc')[0] ) {
alert("yes");
}
the alert doesn't show up.
I'd appreciate any help
Thanks
$(window).load(function () {
....
});
If you have to wait for an iframe (and don't care about the assets, just the DOM) - try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('iframe').load(function() {
// do something
});
});
That is the purpose of jQuery's .ready() event:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ( $('#abc').length ) //If checking if the element exists, use .length
alert("yes");
});
Description: Specify a function to execute when the DOM is fully
loaded.
Using the jQuery.ready should be enough. Try this
$(document).ready(function(){
//your code here
});
or
$(function(){
});
which is a shortcut of the first.
The load() method was deprecated in jQuery version 1.8 and removed in version 3.0.
So you have to use -
$(window).on('load', function() {
// code here
});
Try this:
$(document).ready(function () {
if ( $('#abc')[0] ) {
alert("yes");
}
});
$(window).load(function () { ... }
can be enough but otherwise your embeded code (what ever that can be) might provide some callback functionality that you can make use of.
delay() should only be used to delay animations.
Generally, to handle my JQuery before or after page loads, will use:
jQuery(function($){
// use jQuery code here with $ formatting
// executes BEFORE page finishes loading
});
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
// use jQuery code here with $ formatting
// executes AFTER page finishes loading
});
Make sue you bind the event with dom load so it's there when trigger called.
This is how you do it. Hope this helps someone someday
$(window).bind("load", function() {
//enter code here
$("#dropdow-id").trigger('change');
});`
In my project i have used master page.In one particular page , i want a function to be executed on page unload(javascript event) event of that particular page.To achieve this i have written
$('body').bind('unload',function()
{
alert('hello');
} );
But this is not working.This function is not getting called when i move to other page.
How should i achieve this.
Well, I suppose its a problem when writing the question but your code should be:
$(window).bind('unload',function()
{
alert('hello');
});
You are missing the ending ); and the event should be bound to the window...
[Edit: Added the bind to the window instead of 'body']
$(window).bind("unload", function(){
alert(123);
});
worked for me :)
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).unload( function () {
alert("Bye now!");
} );
});
try this. the document.ready function runs on pageload. so your bind will execute and is should work.
