Call user defined jQuery function with JS

I use a jQuery window libray https://github.com/humaan/Modaal
which triggers events this way $("class of element").modaal({arg1, arg2,...});
--- I updated my question here to make it more general and used an iframe / Html instead of an external svg ---
To trigger an element e.g. in an external Html which is loaded within an iframe, I applied the following code to the iframe:
<iframe src="External.html" id="mainContent" onload="access()"></iframe>
which calls this function:
function access() {
var html = document.getElementById("mainContent").contentDocument.getElementById("IDofDIVelement");
html.addEventListener('click', function() {clicker();});
}
function clicker()
{
// console.log('hooray!');
$("#mainContent").contents().find("IDofDIVelement").modaal({});
//return false;
}
Actually it will only work on every second click. Any idea what I did not consider properly?

You do not need to wait windows loading but iframe only:
$(function() {
$("#mainContent").bind("load",function(){
var myIframeElement = $(this).contents().find(".modaal");
myIframeElement.modaal({
content_source: '#iframe-content',
type: 'inline',
});
});
});

The reason why it did not work was that the iframe was not completely loaded, while jQuery tried to attach the function. As $(document).ready(function(){} did not work, the workaround was to initialize it with
$( window ).on( "load",function() {
$("#mainContent").contents().find("IDofDIVelement").modaal({});
});
This worked properly to attach the functionallity to an element within the iframe.
Actually modaal will vanish the envent handler after the overlay was opened and closed again.
So maybe someone wants to trigger an iframe element for modaal, too, here is a setup which would solve this issue.
(It can be optimised by #SvenLiivaks answer):
$(window).on("load", function() {
reload();
});
function reload() {
var length = $("#iframeID").contents().find("#IDofDIVelement").length;
// The following check will return 1, as the iframe exists.
if (length == 0) {
setTimeout(function() { reload() }, 500);
} else {
$("#iframeID").contents().find("#IDofDIVelement").modaal({
content_source: '#modalwrapper',
overlay_close: true,
after_close: function reattach() {
reload();
}
});
}
}

Show a sub-menu using JQuery

I need some help making a sub-menu appear within 2s after the page loads instead of when the user clicks on it. I'm using JQuery. That file is the core of the website. I need it to stay opened.
Here's the code I have at the moment, I tried to change that on.Click event but it didn't work.
The handleSidenarAndContentHeight(); function resizes the menu items after the sub-menu appears.
jQuery('.page-sidebar li > a').on('click', function (e) {
if ($(this).next().hasClass('sub-menu') === false) {
return;
}
var parent = $(this).parent().parent();
parent.children('li.open').children('a').children('.arrow').removeClass('open');
parent.children('li.open').children('a').children('.arrow').removeClass('active');
parent.children('li.open').children('.sub-menu').slideUp(350);
parent.children('li').removeClass('open');
parent.children('li').removeClass('active');
var sub = jQuery(this).next();
if (sub.is(":visible")) {
jQuery('.arrow', jQuery(this)).removeClass("open");
jQuery(this).parent().removeClass("active");
sub.slideUp(350, function () {
handleSidenarAndContentHeight();
});
} else {
jQuery('.arrow', jQuery(this)).addClass("open");
jQuery(this).parent().addClass("open");
sub.slideDown(350, function () {
handleSidenarAndContentHeight();
});
}
e.preventDefault();
});

Working with a 2 second timeout should do the trick!
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
// Open Parent here
setTimeout(function(){
// Open Child here
}, 2000)
});

There is a simple javascript function you can use, the setTimeout function.
The code follows like this :
setTimeout(function() {yourFunctyion();}. delayTimeInMiliseconds);
This will call your function after the number of second(in ms).
There is also a plugin I've used. It has oneTime and everyTime methods.

jquery - colorbox - adding a function to the popup

I have a "quick view" feature that captures a dynamic URL also known as "qvURL" and creates a colorbox with it via:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".quickview_btn").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var qvURL = $(this).attr("href");
$.colorbox({"href": qvURL})
});
$.colorbox.resize();
});
</script>
Now. I need to make some changes in the child window - but it seems the AJAX or whatever is wiping out the entire DOM and anything I load from the parent window doesn't reflect.
For instance - let's say I just want to add a div that says qwerty!
[I'm actually wanting to create an mbox around a Call To Action]
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Please note - the URLs it's loading is content that I can not manipulate - so it has to be done in the parent window.
Thanks!
Please see below for my full snippet:
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$('.quickview_btn').click(function(){
//Quickview tracking
$('.quickview').attr('id', 'quickviewClicked-area');
mboxDefine('quickviewClicked-area','quickviewClicked','clicked=Y');
$( 'div.quickview' ).bind( 'click', function() {
console.log('clicked!');
product = $(this).children().attr('href');
console.log(product)
mboxUpdate('quickviewClicked', "link="+product);
});
//thumbnail add to cart tracking
$('div.add-to-cart').attr('id', 'ThumbnailAddToCart-area');
mboxDefine('ThumbnailAddToCart-area','ThumbnailAddToCartClicked','clicked=Y');
$( 'div.qlBtns' ).bind( 'click', function() {
;
mboxUpdate('ThumbnailAddToCartClicked', "clicked=Y");
console.log('mbox updated!')
});
});
});
/*
$(document).ready(function(){
$(qvURL).$colorbox({
iframe : true,
frastIframe: false,
onComplete: function(){
$('.name').html('yeah you got it');
}
});
});
*/
</script>
< script >
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.quickview_btn').click(function() {
//Quickview tracking
$('.quickview').attr('id', 'quickviewClicked-area');
mboxDefine('quickviewClicked-area', 'quickviewClicked', 'clicked=Y');
$('div.quickview').bind('click', function() {
console.log('clicked!');
product = $(this).children().attr('href');
console.log(product)
mboxUpdate('quickviewClicked', "link=" + product);
});
//thumbnail add to cart tracking
$('div.add-to-cart').attr('id', 'ThumbnailAddToCart-area');
mboxDefine('ThumbnailAddToCart-area', 'ThumbnailAddToCartClicked', 'clicked=Y');
$('div.qlBtns').bind('click', function() {;
mboxUpdate('ThumbnailAddToCartClicked', "clicked=Y");
console.log('mbox updated!')
});
});
});
/*
$(document).ready(function(){
$(qvURL).$colorbox({
iframe : true,
frastIframe: false,
onComplete: function(){
$('.name').html('yeah you got it');
}
});
});
*/
< /script>

I see this line in your code:
$.colorbox({"href": qvURL})
and my first question is whether or not that selector is enough. Mind you I am more a middle-ware than a client-side guru, but from my knowledge of jQuery, that selector won't do anything because jQuery can't tell what you mean. See how you used the quotes in the assignment of the click function?
$(".quickview_btn").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if you used $("#colorbox") to get the object (if that is its id) or $(".colorbox" if is is a a class you are targeting.
(I am not an expert, as I said, but those who are agree:
$(".someClass") selects all elements with class name someClass
$("#testButton") selects the element with the id value of testButton
-- Courtesy of the DZone jQuery Ref Card at https://dzone.com/refcardz/jquery-selectors
So it may be that everything else is fine, you just aren't passing your code anything to hook into the colorbox object.

jQuery UI Slider to find id on document ready?

I have the situation to prepopulate stored value from hidden element in jquery ui slider based on its id as like below,
jQuery(function(){
if(jQuery("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val() != ''){
jQuery(".slider_global_style_overlay ").slider({
create: function(event, ui) {
console.log(jQuery(this).attr('id'));
if(jQuery(this).attr('id') == 'nav_overlay_id'){
value:jQuery("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val();
}
}
});
}
});
Here input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar] has the opacity value, this needs to pre populate based on slider id.I have used Create event on document ready function to find id
But still i could not get it. something i missed here. What i done wrong on this.Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Sorry, my english is so bad. HEHEHE
You can't use "value" in "create" like this.
try this...
$(function(){
if($("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val() != '')
{
$(".slider_global_style_overlay ").slider
({
create: function(event, ui)
{
if($(this).attr('id') == 'nav_overlay_id'){
$(this).slider("value", $("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val());
}
}
})
}
});
OR
try this AFTER your the slide instance
if($("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val() != '')
{
$("#nav_overlay_id").slider("value", $("input[name=color_overlay_nav_bar]").val());
}

Close menu with click off menu itself

I'm not the best when it comes to JavaScript, and stuck with finding a solution. I have seen similar questions asked here, but when I try to implement it in my case it either breaks the menu or just makes no difference.
I'm trying to get a menu (which opens on a click), to close not only with a repeated click on parent menu tab, but with a click outside the menu, i.e., anywhere.
My code is:
var toggleUpdatesPulldown = function(event, element, user_id) {
if( element.className=='updates_pulldown' ) {
element.className= 'updates_pulldown_active';
showNotifications();
} else {
element.className='updates_pulldown';
}
}
This snippet is in the middle of a lot more JavaScript and this is the default working version. The click from user changes the class name of the menu container which determines if it's displayed or not. From another post on here, I tried implementing the following to no avail to try and allow the click off to alter the class name as well:
var toggleUpdatesPulldown = function(event, element, user_id) {
if( element.className=='updates_pulldown' ) {
element.className= 'updates_pulldown_active';
showNotifications();
} else {
element.className='updates_pulldown';
}
ev.stopPropagation();
$(document).one('click', function() {
element.className='updates_pulldown';
});
}
Any advice on tackling this? I'd like to learn more JavaScript as I seem to be working with it more and more.

I hope you are still looking for a solution. Here's a working demo of this http://jsfiddle.net/sU9ZJ/6/
(function(win, doc) {
var lis = $('#menu>ul>li>a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var a = $(this);
var li = $(this).parent();
function close(dev) {
if (!(dev && li.has(dev.target)[0])) {
li.addClass('inactive').removeClass('active');
doc.off('click', close);
a.trigger('close');
}
}
function open(dev) {
li.addClass('active');
doc.on('click', close);
a.trigger('open');
}
if (li.hasClass('active')) { close() }
else { open(); }
})
})(this, $(document))
I have also added a couple of events that you can use when it opens or closes
$('#menu>ul>li>a').on('open', function(e) {
console.log('menu open', this)
}).on('close', function(e) {
console.log('menu closed', this)
})
Sorry, this depends on jQuery. too lazy to write a native version :). Also this is not tested in IE, but shouldn't be too hard to make it work on those if it doesn't.
