I'm trying to add a long click to a sortable group of responsive bootstrap buttons. The only way the longclick function seems to trigger is if I put it on the #list_content container. However, then $this doesn't refer to the actual button div (.sm-col-4) that triggered the event.
$('#list_content').mayTriggerLongClicks().on('longClick', function() {
alert("long_click=" + JSON.stringify($(this)));
});
Hoping that someone has some ideas on how I can get the colid that triggered the event, and as well to prevent the long-press from triggering when the user is moving the button.

Edit for answer #1.
Thanks for the response. Interesting, that works in the fiddle but not in my app. When I set the selector to:
$('#list_content')
I see the longClick event listener on the button as div#list_content.ui-sortable for both click and mousedown. When I set the selector to
$('a.btn')
there is no event listener for click or mousedown according to chrome developer tools. I also have this code in the main $(document).ready() section in my app.
$(document).on('mousedown', function (e) {
if($(e.target).hasClass('popover-content')) {
fp_popover_close = false;
} else
fp_popover_close = true;
});
Which I need to get a slider control in a popover to work properly. I see that event on the button with $('a.btn') but not the long click.
About the colid and the trigger of the event, in your fiddle this is working for me...
$('a.btn').mayTriggerLongClicks().on('longClick', function() {
var colId = $(this).parent('div').attr('colid');
alert(colId);
});
While I didn't solve this through the right selector at the sortable stage, I was able to add the long click event when the button was originally created by the application and then it only fires if sortable is active.

I'm using the plugin Jquery.appear for a project I'm working with. It works great and it's issue free, but I'm curious to know if I can bind a click event to it. Basically what I'm after is when I scroll to a certain div down the page, an event fires, easy. However, I also would like to make it so I can have a 'click' event fire off as well but without the user actually clicking. So I was thinking using bind would make this possible. I'll include what I have below.
$(function() {
var $appeared = $('#boost-que');
$('#boost-que').appear();
$(document.body).one('appear', '#boost-que', function(e, $affected) {
function testScroll() {
alert('works');
}
$(document.body).bind('click', testScroll);
$appeared.empty();
});
});
This works, but I have to physically click to make the click event fire. Is there a way to bind the click event so it will fire by itself? Any input is always appreciated.
You can programmatically click it by calling click() after binding:
$(document.body).bind('click', testScroll).click();
or:
$(document.body).bind('click', testScroll).trigger("click");
We are using W2UI (Javascript UI) controls. It has a "Multi Select" input control with associated div container with suggestion data. Whenever user clicks on input control a suggestion div is popped up and user can select multiple items from the list. Please find below screenshot
We have set overfloaw:auto of div When suggestion list has more than 10 records. (Refer below screenshot)
At this point, clicking on scrollbar works fine in Chrome and Mozilla but in case of IE it closes / hides the div.
We have made initial RCA of this as follow.
When a scrollbar is associated to a div, clicking on scrollbar causes blur event to fire for that div.
In W2UI library, blur event is used to hide the suggestion div causing it to close. We also found that, clicking on scrollbar does not cause blur event to fire in chrome & firefox.
Now we want to suppress blur event when user clicks on "scrollbar" in case of IE.
We are unable to identify scrollbar click.
Please share your thoughts / workarounds about suppressing blur() event conditionally.
I am also facing same issue we have made some changes in w2ui lbrary
we have set global variable flagClick first time it is false. & added below events
var div = $('#w2ui-global-items');
div.on('mouseover', function (event)
{
flagClick = false;
$('.w2ui-list').find('input').focus();
});
div.on('mouseout', function (event)
{
flagClick = true;
});
and changed blur event logic of div
as below --
.on('blur', function (event)
{
if (flagClick)
{
$(div).css('outline', 'none');
obj.hide();
if (event.stopPropagation) event.stopPropagation();
else event.cancelBubble = true;
}
})
almost this logic have solved our issue, except one .
When we click on search textbox then list will populate , if after that we click on list scroolbar and after that click on outside list div , List not getting hide (div blur event not getting fired).
try this solution , it will help u .
If you get solution to our problem pls post on same .
An updated version of w2ui came out just a few days ago where controls, including multiselect, have been refactored. It seems to work fine for me with 1.4 version.
I'm in the process of teaching myself how to write a jQuery plugin. I am using the jquery-hover-dropdown-box as a base example. It's not just copy/paste though, I've made a number of changes trying to get a better understanding of it all. For example I'm not incorporating the hover event, I added a filter, and currently not using any defaults to name a few. Clicking on a div's scroll bar fires the blur event in I.E is the only post I've found with what looks like a good resolution to this and I tried implementing something similar but was unsuccessful.
Complete Example: jsFiddle
Issue:
I click in the input and the dropdown opens but the first time I click on the scroll bar, the dropdown closes. When I open the dropdown a second time and click on the scroll bar, it does not close (as I would expect). From what I can tell, my issue is in the blur on the input. I understand that when I click in the scroll bar, the input has lost focus. I tried to implement something similar to this post on Scrollbars not working on dropdown in IE8 but was unable to get it working.
Steps to Reproduce:
Click in the input to open the dropdown
Click anywhere in the scroll bar and the dropdown closes (should stay open and scroll)
Click in the input a second time and the dropdown opens
Click anywhere in the scroll bar and the dropdown stays open (as it should)
Question:
What am I doing wrong that is causing the dropdown to close only the first time I click on the scroll bar?
What I've Tried:
When I'm appending the ul to the div (currently commented out around line 68 in the jsFiddle), I added the code below. I figured that if I stopped the action from being triggered with a mousedown on the ul it would fix my issue. Although it did fix the issue in Chrome, it persists in IE8.
Update: I changed the code below from $list.mousedown... to $container.mousedown... since $list is the ul and $container is the div that contains it. My thought was that it extend the area. The result was the same though.
...
$container.append($list);
$list.mousedown(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
...
Since this seemed to be close, I tried taking a similar approach in the blur event. The issue explained above happens when I use this code. In Chrome, clicking the scroll bar does not fire the blur event but in IE8, it does. The first time the dropdown is opened and you click in the scroll bar, it logs "hiding". Open the dropdown again and click the scroll bar and it logs "bind mousedown". Click anywhere outside the dropdown and it closes (as it should) and logs "hiding" (as it should). To me it seems backwards, but obviously I'm not understanding it correctly. (The code below is around line 134 in the jsFiddle)
Code edit: Updated with Goran.it suggestion to prevent multiple bindings from happening.
...
// where $dom is the 'div' containing the 'ul'
$dom.unbind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul')
.bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul', function(e) {
console.log('bind mousedown');
e.preventDefault();
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('hiding');
$dom.addClass('auto_dropdown_hide').hide();
}, 100);
...
I've also tried removing the blur event. I know this would prevent the dropdown from closing if you tabbed out of the input but figured it was worth a try. In Chrome it works exactly how I expected, clicking outside the input closes the dropdown, clicking the scroll bar does not close it and tabbing out does not close it. In IE8, clicking outside the dropdown does not close it though, nor does it close when you tab out, but clicking in the scroll bar does work. This is the code I added after removing blur (it's not included in the jsFiddle).
// below where the 'blur' event was
$(document).click(function(e) {
if (e.target == dropdownArray[0].input[0] || e.target == dropdownArray[0].dom[0]) {
console.log('matches');
e.preventDefault();
} else {
console.log('does not match');
dropdownArray[0].dom.addClass('auto_dropdown_box_hide').hide();
}
});
Again, this is my first attempt, I'm still learning. I'm sure there are multiple things that I'm probably doing wrong, that I can improve, etc. Before I tackle those, I would just like to understand what I'm doing wrong here and what I need to do to correct it. After reading the plugin concepts, I know there is much for me to learn.
I found few issues on a first look, you should change the :
$dom.bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul'
to:
$dom.unbind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul').bind('mousedown.auto_dropdown_box_ul'
To prevent multiple events binding to the dom node, you can also use .one event handling of jQuery.
In the same event handling you should also put:
console.log('bind mousedown');
e.preventDefault();
return false;
To be sure event is not firing.
Hope this helps (I'm not having IE8 for a long time now)
I believe I finally figured this one out. After multiple tries I thought I'd change up the format to one that seemed, at least to me, a little more straight forward.
Here is the complete jsFiddle
The underlying fix was correctly setting/adjusting which element has focus and when. Since mousedown executes before click, I stuck with that event on the dropdown. In the mousedown event, I set isVisible = true and set focus back on the input (although the latter is not completely necessary). In the blur event, I'm checking isVisible. If it's true, that means that a click happened in the scroll bar so don't close the dropdown. If it's false, close the dropdown. Throughout events, I'm keeping track of isVisible so I know it's state when blur executes. Again, I changed up the format so the two fiddles do look different. I'm sure I could go back and implement something similar to the original fiddle and get it working but I just liked this way more. Here is a snippet of the relevant changes:
{
// some code above
// where $list is the 'ul'
$list.bind('mousedown', methods.onDropdownMousedown);
// where $obj is the 'input'
$obj.bind('blur', methods.doOnBlur);
},
onDropdownMousedown: function(e) {
$input.focus(); // not really needed, just in case
isVisible = true;
},
doOnBlur: function(e) {
if (isVisible) {
$input.focus();
isVisible = false;
} else {
// where $container is the 'div' containing the list
$container.addClass('auto_dropdown_box_hide').hide();
isVisible = false;
}
isVisible = false;
}
I created jQuery UI Dialog and after the dialog is displayed, wherever a user clicks, the dialog is closed. I achieved this by adding click event to the body tag.
$("body").click(function() {
$("#myDialog").dialog("close").dialog("destroy");
});
It works fine except inside of 3rd party Grid API I'm using and found out this Grid API source code, it defined onclick event like below:
this.obj.onclick = function(e){
console.log("grid API clicked");
this.grid._doClick(e||window.event);
if (this.grid._sclE) {
this.grid.editCell(e||window.event);
}
(e||event).cancelBubble=true;
};
When I clicked inside the Grid, the log msg "grid API clicked" is shown in my firebug but my body click event is not triggered so I think the event is not bubbling up to the body click event as specified in the line (e||event).cancelBubble=true;
If I set this to false, the click on the Grid does not work and not wanting to change code in the 3rd party API.
So, it there any workaround to make body click work?
Maybe simplistic and not the best way to do it, but if you're happy to edit the Grid API source then add this to it...
$("body").click();
It will trigger the click event defined on the body element. If that doesn't work then there's something else going on.
I have a search suggestion box that I hide when the search text box loses focus. This works great, except that when I click one of the suggestions the click event for that suggestion does not fire.
searchText.focusout(function () { $("#search-suggestions").hide(); });
I also tried:
searchText.focusout(function () { $("#search-suggestions").css("visibility", "hidden"); });
I tried commenting out the hide on unfocus code and the click events then worked fine.
(Basically, the blur event happens before the click on the suggestion can be registered, such that the element I attempted to click is not on the screen when the clicm does register)
here's the click event code:
//Called after the ajax load
$("#search-suggestions").find("a").click(function () { alert("hi"); })
I also tried rendering this on the server but it failed as well:
Search Suggestion
If any one has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks!
You could try to define something like this:
//this goes where you first binding focusout handler
searchText.focusout(onFocusOut);
//this is a usual function
function onFocusOut() {
$("#search-suggestions").hide();
}
//this could be defined after you draw the search-suggestions control
$("#search-suggestions").hover(function() {
//this is hover in handler; unbind focusout from searchText
//something like that:
$("#searchText").unbind('focusout', onFocusOut)
}, function() {
//this is hover out handler; bind focusout to searchText
//something like that:
$("#searchText").bind('focusout', onFocusOut)
});
you could also use live (http://api.jquery.com/live/) to define hover handler for #search-suggestions, depending on what exactly you need.
This will make your search suggestions stay visible when clicking them. In click handler you can then hide them.
Try just making it invisible.
Change $('#my_search_box').hide(); to $('#my_search_box').css('visibility','hidden');
If you have surrounding DOM elements that need to act as if the search box is gone, you can just assign it an absolute position as well.
Try using .css('visibility', 'hidden') instead of .hide which uses display:none.
