The code is about a webpage that takes grid height and width and creates it by clicking submit and then draw in the grid any shape by choosing the boxes depending on the chosen color. can someone explain to me what is wrong with my javascript code?
code pen is here
$('#submit').on('click', function makeGrid(event){
var r = $('#inputHeight').val();
var c = $('#inputWeight').val();
/*var grid = $('table');
var tr = '<tr></tr>';
var td = '<td></td>';*/
for (var i=0; i<r; i++){
$('table').append('<tr></tr>');
for(var j=0; j<c; j++){
$('tr:last-child').append('<td></td>');
}
}
});
$('table').on('click',' tr td', function(){
$(this).css('background-color',$('colorPicker').val())
});
The <input type="submit"> will send a request to the server. Which in turn will cause a redirect.
You'll need to call preventDefault() and/or return false in your handler.
The jquery selector $("#submit") will look for an element with id submit, it isn't selecting the <input type="submit">, to fix, add the id="submit" to the <input>.
also, you might want to remove all children in the <table> when the button is pressed a second time. IE. $("table").empty();
$("#submit").on("click", function makeGrid(event) {
var r = $("#inputHeight").val();
var c = $("#inputWeight").val();
$("table").empty();
/*var grid = $('table');
var tr = '<tr></tr>';
var td = '<td></td>';*/
for (var i = 0; i < r; i++) {
$("table").append("<tr></tr>");
for (var j = 0; j < c; j++) {
$("tr:last-child").append("<td></td>");
}
}
$("table tr td").on("click", function() {
$(this).css("background-color", $("#colorPicker").val());
});
event.preventDefault();
return false;
});

I am creating a simple etch-a-sketch game. currently on hover it colors in black. I am trying to use a button to reset the colors back to white. However, i can't get the button to function with an event listener, if i add an alert it displays the alert but nothing else. Please guide me and supply a documentation that I can reference as I want to learn and fixing it without explaining will be counterproductive at this point.
Thank you !

A couple of related problems:
The variable boxes is undefined. It looks as though it was required to be the set elements with class box. When it is being defined this is indeed done, but then made undefined by the forEach attached to it. Separate out these two things and boxes will become the collection of all elements with class box.
Then when the clear is clicked you need to step through each of these boxes making their background color white, so again use a forEach.

Simplify your CSS
Use a SELECT element for your colors
Define the gridTemplateColumns in JS, not in CSS.
Use simpler functions
Use global variables to store the current grid size and color
Don't forget to clear your grid before changing the size
Assign the mouseenter Event on each cell on creation!
Add a boolean variable isPenDown for a better user experience!
const NewEL = (sel, prop) => Object.assign(document.createElement(sel), prop);
const EL_grid = document.querySelector("#grid");
const EL_clear = document.querySelector("#clear");
const EL_color = document.querySelector("[name=color]");
const EL_size = document.querySelector("[name=size]");
let size = parseInt(EL_size.value, 10);
let color = "black";
let isPenDown = false;
function makeGrid() {
EL_grid.innerHTML = ""; // Clear current grid!
for (let i = 0; i < size ** 2; i++) {
EL_grid.style.gridTemplateColumns = `repeat(${size}, 1fr)`;
EL_grid.append(NewEL("div", {
className: "box",
onmousedown() { isPenDown = true; paint(this); },
onmouseup() { isPenDown = false; },
onmouseenter() { if (isPenDown) paint(this); },
}));
}
};
function paint(EL) {
EL.style.backgroundColor = color;
}
EL_clear.addEventListener("click", () => {
const tmp_color = color; // Remember current color
color = "transparent"; // Temporarily set it to transparent
EL_grid.querySelectorAll(".box").forEach(paint); // Paint all cells as transparent
color = tmp_color; //* Reset as it was before.
});
EL_color.addEventListener("change", () => {
color = EL_color.value;
if (color === "random") color = `hsl(${~~(Math.random() * 360)}, 80%, 50%)`;
});
EL_size.addEventListener("change", () => {
size = parseInt(EL_size.value, 10);
makeGrid();
});

JavaScript code to stop form submission
(14 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm trying to create a form that when submitted, creates a new object with the input values, and then stores that object in an array.
For some reason, the array is "resetting" and not saving the objects.
let myLibrary = []
function Book(title,author,pages,read) {
this.title = title
this.author = author
this.pages = pages
this.read = read
myLibrary.push(this)
}
function checkForm(){
let name = document.querySelector('input[name="title"]').value
let author = document.querySelector('input[name="author"]').value
let pages = document.querySelector('input[name="pages"]').value
let read = document.querySelector('input[name="read"]').checked
new Book(name,author,pages,read)
document.getElementById('library').innerText = JSON.stringify(myLibrary)
}
const submit = document.getElementById('btn1')
submit.addEventListener("click",checkForm);
<input name='title' />
<input name='author' />
<input name='pages' />
<input name='read' />
<button id='btn1'>Click me! </button>
<div >Library:</div>
<div id='library'></div>
You are listening for a click event on the submit button, however the submit button also submits the form. Forms will naturally cause a refresh if the default "submit" event is not prevented.
Instead you could listen to your forms submit event and prevent it:
// Query select the form and
form.addEventListener('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
checkForm();
});
As you have a form in your html, you'll have to prevent its default submission event which results in a reload of the page with preventDefault(). You could, for example, change your checkForm() and add the e.preventDefault() there to prevent the form from being submitted.
let myLibrary = []
function Book(title, author, pages, read) {
this.title = title
this.author = author
this.pages = pages
this.read = read
}
function addtoLibrary(title, author, pages, read) {
let book = new Book(title, author, pages, read)
myLibrary.push(book)
}
let table = document.querySelector(".table");
myLibrary.forEach(function(e) {
table.innerHTML += `<tr><td>${e.title}</td>
<td>${e.author}</td>
<td>${e.pages}</td>
<td>${e.read}</td>
</tr>
`
});
// Selectors
let add = document.querySelector("#add")
let submit = document.querySelector("#submit")
function checkForm(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // prevent the form from being submitted
let name = document.querySelector('input[name="title"]').value
let author = document.querySelector('input[name="author"]').value
let pages = document.querySelector('input[name="pages"]').value
let read = document.querySelector('input[name="read"]').checked
addtoLibrary(name, author, pages, read)
console.log(myLibrary);
}
submit.addEventListener("click", checkForm);

The above answers didn't quite work for me so here is a simplified, fully working example. As a general guide to getting things like this to work I always try to simplify as much as possible.

}
document.getElementById("myForm").addEventListener(

function(e) {
e.preventDefault();

}
);
I'll leave it to you to add back in the other fields on the Book object.
I am not sure because I've tried to illustrate that your code actually stores the object. It's either that your form refreshes the page... that might be the cause but as far as the code you've provided is concerned, everything works as expected.
let myLibrary = []
function Book(title,author,pages,read) {
this.title = title
this.author = author
this.pages = pages
this.read = read
myLibrary.push(this)
}
function checkForm(name,author,pages,read)
{
new Book(name,author,pages,read)
}
checkForm("Chris","Jerry","56","65");
checkForm("Sean","John","56","65");
// Both Objects are still stored...
console.log(myLibrary);
I'm just trying to dynamically add to a div within a form depending on which checkboxes are checked. So, I am creating the li tag and then they are added as li elements within an ol parent element so its just a list of values. I do not know what is wrong with my code, I'm not sure how to remove the appropriate value if the relevant checkbox is unchecked, and when I uncheck and then recheck a checkbox, it keeps adding the value over and over again.

It looks like that you are adding an event listener to the form instead of the input elements themselves. I dont think the change event will be fired when an input element in a form changes. (see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change)
On your event listener, try targeting the input elements themselves.
} else if (!a[i].checked){
removeDynamicElement();
}
...
function removeDynamicElement() {
document.querySelector("#o li").innerHTML = "";
}
Will empty the first or all matches(not sure) but wont remove them. Instead you should give li tags a unique ID and remove them completely via something like:
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i].checked){
console.log(a[i])
createDynamicElement(a[i].value);
} else if (!a[i].checked){
removeDynamicElement(a[i].value);
}
}
function createDynamicElement(id){
var node = document.createElement("LI");
node.setAttribute("id", id);
var textnode = document.createTextNode(id);
node.appendChild(textnode);
console.log(node)
document.getElementById("o").appendChild(node);
}
function removeDynamicElement(id) {
var target = document.getElementById(id)
target.parentElement.removeChild(target);
}
Or you could clear the ol completely on every change and repopulate it again like:
var a = document.getElementsByName('thing');
document.getElementById("o").innerHTML = null;
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i].checked){
console.log(a[i])
createDynamicElement(a[i].value);
}
}
function createDynamicElement(id){
var node = document.createElement("LI");
var textnode = document.createTextNode(id);
node.appendChild(textnode);
console.log(node)
document.getElementById("o").appendChild(node);
}
Edit:
A proper FIFO solution:
var a = document.getElementsByName('thing');
for (var i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
var target = document.getElementById(a[i].value);
if (a[i].checked && !target){
createDynamicElement(a[i].value);
} else if ((!a[i].checked) && target){
removeDynamicElement(a[i].value);
}
}
function createDynamicElement(id){
var node = document.createElement("li");
node.setAttribute("id", id);
var textnode = document.createTextNode(id);
node.appendChild(textnode);
document.getElementById("o").appendChild(node);
console.log("a")
}
function removeDynamicElement(id) {
target.parentElement.removeChild(target);
}
});
In my options page I generate some rows with an input number and a button, related to entries at chrome storage.
The problem is that the event listener i'm creating for the buttons doesn't work at all.

chrome.storage.sync.get('movieId', function(result){
for (var i=0; i<result.movieId.length; i++){
createRow(result.movieId[i]);
}
});
function save_options() {
var id = document.getElementById('id').value;
chrome.storage.sync.get('movieId', function(result){
var ids = result.movieId;
ids.push(id);
chrome.storage.sync.set({
'movieId': ids
}, function() {
});
location.reload();
});
}
function createRow(pos){
var newRows= document.getElementById('ghost').cloneNode(true);
newRows.id= '';
newRows.style.display= 'block';
var newRow= newRows.childNodes;
for (var i= 0; i< newRow.length; i++){
var newName= newRow[i].name;
if (newName){
newRow[i].name = newName+pos;
newRow[i].id = pos;
newRow[i].value = pos;
}
}
var insertHere= document.getElementById('ghost');
insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newRows,insertHere);
document.getElementById(pos).addEventListener('click', delet());
}
function loop(arrayIds){
console.log('loop');
for (var i=0; i<arrayIds.length; i++){
createRow(i);
}
}
function delet(){
console.log("this.id");
//chrome.storage.sync.remove(id);
}
With this, when I click any of the Delete buttons nothing happens.
I've tried all the combinations I can think for document.getElementById(pos).addEventListener('click', delet()); but none of them work.
document.getElementById(pos).addEventListener('click', delet());
is supposed to be
document.getElementById(pos).addEventListener('click', delet);
In your snippet you are calling delet thus result of that function is added as event listener that is undefined. If you want to bind delet as event handler, pass it to addEventListener without calling it.
EDIT
As I saw your code, you are giving same id to both input and button and when you call document.getElementById it returns input instead of button so, event is binded to input instead of button.
To fix that replace your createRow with this
function createRow(pos) {
var newRow = document.getElementById('ghost').cloneNode(true);
newRow.id= '';
newRow.style.display= 'block';
var value = newRow.querySelector("[name=VAL]");
var button = newRow.querySelector("[name=DEL]");
value.id = "VAL" + pos;
value.value = pos;
button.id = "DEL" + pos;
var insertHere= document.getElementById('ghost');
insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newRow, insertHere);
button.addEventListener('click', delet);
}
My code atm looks like this:

So what I want, is for the remove-button to remove the divs that im creating. Ive been googling around and have tried alot of different codes, cant seem to get it to work..
In your specific situation, you have two basic choices:
Just set innerHTML on the element to "":
myFigures.innerHTML = "";
It's slower than some alternatives, but you're not doing this in a tight loop, and it's easy.
Use a loop with removeChild:
while (myFigures.firstChild) {
myFigures.removeChild(myFigures.firstChild);
}
See this other SO answer for information comparing the two techniques.
Here's that first option in context:

function genFigures(){
var numberFig = numberFigInput.value;

for(var amount = 0; amount < numberFig; amount++){
myFigures.innerHTML += "<div></div>"

Like T.J. Crowder said,
myFigures.innerHTML = "";
would work. However, that assumes that myFigures is empty when your DOM is initially loaded. If that is NOT the case, you need to add a class to the div when you create it.
AddDiv function:
function genFigures(){
var numberFig = numberFigInput.value;
if (numberFig > 0, numberFig < 1001){
for(var amount = 0; amount < numberFig; amount++){
myFigures.innerHTML += "<div class='AddedDiv'></div>"
}
}else{
alert("You have to input an integer over 0, but not over 1000!");
}
}
To remove them:
$(".AddedDiv").each(function(){
$(this).parentNode.removeChild($(this));
});
