Sorry if this is a really noobish question but I have just made a form with sections that are toggle-able. Each section has a '.header' which on click will perform a slideToggle on the section div.
I would like to add a triangle either pointing down or sideways to let people know it is toggle-able. (i.e ▶ or ▼).
I have the triangle in a span with the class '.arrowTog'
I was able to get partial success with
$('.header').on('click', function() {
if ($('.arrowTog').text().contains('▼')){
$('.arrowTog').text('▶');
}else{
$('.arrowTog').text('▼');
}
});
When I clicked on one all of the triangles swapped so I tried this (which causes none of them to rotate at all):
$('.header').on('click', function() {
if ($(this).prev('.arrowTog').text().contains('▼')){
$(this).prev('.arrowTog').text('▶');
}else{
$(this).prev('.arrowTog').text('▼');
}
});
This is a sample of the HTML
<div class="header" style="cursor: pointer;">
<span class="arrowTog">▶ </span>
<b>Merchant</b>
</div>
<div class="searchContent" style="display:none;">
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
In your first version, the problem is you're finding every .arrowTog in the page. You can use the fact that within the click handler, this is bound to the element that was clicked, and then just search within that using find:
$('.header').on('click', function() {
var arrow = $(this).find('.arrowTog');
if (arrow.text().contains('▼')){
arrow.text('▶');
} else {
arrow.text('▼');
}
});
You're using a class. You probably have a number of elements with the same class in it, so jQuery is matching all of them and doing this transformation to all of them.
Use a context (All .arrowTog RIGHT INSIDE THIS NODE):
$('.header').on('click', function(evt) {
if ($('.arrowTog', evt.target).text().contains('▼')){
$('.arrowTog', evt.target).text('▶');
}else{
$('.arrowTog', evt.target).text('▼');
}
});
Why not use CSS?
.arrowTog:before {
content: '▶';
}
.arrowTog.open:before {
content: '▼';
}
And then
$('.header').on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('open');
});
So i just ran into this problem. Let's say I have the following markup:
<article data-color='#123456'>
<header>...</header>
<a href='#'>Lorem ipsum</a>...
...
</article>
So I have an element with a custom color attribute. I want to have the header have it as a background color, and the link as a color (the color is either randomly generated or user-defined). Is there a way to do this is CSS alone? (I am aware that jQuery would do this without a problem, but I'd like to kepp things as pretty as possible, not using Javascript for styling alone.)
You can use an attribute selector in your CSS:
article[data-color="#123456"] header {
background-color: "#123456";
}
article[data-color="#123456"] a {
color: "#123456";
}
However, this assumes you can enumerate the data-color attributes in your CSS. If it's generated dynamically and can take any value, you can't do it in CSS -- it doesn't have variables or back-references.
Unfortunately CSS cannot do this. the JS is relatively simple though:
$('article').filter(function() {
return $(this).data('color');
}).each(function() {
var $el = $(this), color = $el.data('color');
$el
.find('header').css('background-color', color).end()
.find('a').css('color', color);
});
Example fiddle
I think you can do it like this:
article[data-color="#123456"] header {
background-color: attr(data-color color);
}
article[data-color="#123456"] a {
color: attr(data-color color);
}
UPDATE
The first answer is incorrect, it doesn't work.
Do this rather:
article[data-color="#123456"] header {
background-color: "#123456";
}
article[data-color="#123456"] a {
color: "#123456";
}
I'm sure there is a simple solution to this, and I'm sure this is a duplicate question, though I have been unable to solve my solution particularly because I don't really know how to phrase it in order to search for other questions/solutions, so I'm coming here hoping for some help.
Basically, I have spans with classes that assigns a background-color property, and inside those spans are words. I have three of these spans, and each time a user clicks on a span I want the class to change (thus changing the background color and inner text).
HTML:
<span class="alternate">
<span class="blue showing">Lorem</span>
<span class="green">Ipsum</span>
<span class="red">Dolor</span>
</span>
CSS:
.alternate span { display : none }
.alternate .showing { display : inline }
.blue { background : blue }
.green { background : green }
.red { background : red }
jQuery:
$(".alternate span").each(function() {
$(this).on("click", function() {
$(this).removeClass("showing");
$(this).next().addClass("showing");
});
});
This solution works great using $.next until I get to the third click, whereafter .showing is removed, and is not added since there are no more $.next options. How do I, after getting to the last-child, add .showing to the first-child and then start over? I have tried various options including if($(".alternate span:last-child").hasClass("showing")) { etc. etc. }, and I attempted to use an array and for loop though I failed to make it work.
Newb question, I know, but I can't seem to solve this so as a last resort I'm coming here.
try this:
$(".alternate span").each(function() {
$(this).on("click", function() {
$(this).removeClass("showing");
if($(this).is(":last-child"))
$(".alternate span:first-child").addClass("showing");
else
$(this).next().addClass("showing");
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/NPx2x/
Check this, and also it performs faster. .next() returns undefined if no element found.
$(".alternate span").on("click", function() {
$(this).removeClass("showing");
var next = $(this).next();
next.length ? next.addClass("showing") : $("span.blue").addClass("showing");
});
I was under the assumption that if I disabled a div, all content got disabled too.
However, the content is grayed but I can still interact with it.
Is there a way to do that? (disable a div and get all content disabled also)
Many of the above answers only work on form elements. A simple way to disable any DIV including its contents is to just disable mouse interaction. For example:
$("#mydiv").addClass("disabledbutton");
CSS
.disabledbutton {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.4;
}
Supplement:
Many commented like these: "This will only disallow mouse events, but the control is still enabled" and "you can still navigate by keyboard". You Could add this code to your script and inputs can't be reached in other ways like keyboard tab. You could change this code to fit your needs.
$([Parent Container]).find('input').each(function () {
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});
Use a framework like JQuery to do things like:
function toggleStatus() {
if ($('#toggleElement').is(':checked')) {
$('#idOfTheDIV :input').attr('disabled', true);
} else {
$('#idOfTheDIV :input').removeAttr('disabled');
}
}
Disable And Enable Input Elements In A Div Block Using jQuery should help you!
As of jQuery 1.6, you should use .prop instead of .attr for disabling.
Here is a quick comment for people who don't need a div but just a blockelement. In HTML5 <fieldset disabled="disabled"></fieldset> got the disabled attribute. Every form element in a disabled fieldset is disabled.
I just wanted to mention this extension method for enabling and disabling elements. I think it's a much cleaner way than adding and removing attributes directly.
Then you simply do:
$("div *").disable();
You can use this simple CSS statement to disable events
#my-div {
pointer-events:none;
}
The disabled attribute is not part of the W3C spec for DIV elements, only for form elements.
The jQuery approach suggested by Martin is the only foolproof way you're going to accomplish this.
Wrap the div within the form and fieldset tags:
<form>
<fieldset disabled>
<div>your controls</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
similar to cletu's solution, but i got an error using that solution, this is the workaround:
$('div *').prop('disabled',true);
// or
$('#the_div_id *').prop('disabled',true);
works fine on me
If you wanted to keep the semantics of disabled as follows
<div disabled="disabled"> Your content here </div>
you could add the following CSS
div[disabled=disabled] {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.4;
}
the benefit here is that you're not working with classes on the div that you want to work with
One way to achieve this is by adding the disabled prop to all children of the div. You can achieve this very easily:
$("#myDiv").find("*").prop('disabled', true);
$("#myDiv") finds the div, .find("*") gets you all child nodes in all levels and .prop('disabled', true) disables each one.
This way all content is disabled and you can't click them, tab to them, scroll them, etc. Also, you don't need to add any css classes.
As many answers already clarified disabled is not a DIV attribute. However xHTML means Extensible HTML. It means you can define your own HTML attributes (all Frontend frameworks does that as well). And CSS supports attribute selectors which is [].
Use standard HTML with your defined attribute:
<div disabled>My disabled div</div>
Use CSS:
div[disabled] {
opacity: 0.6;
pointer-events: none;
}
NOTE: you can use CSS attribute selector with ID or Class names as well e.g. .myDiv[disabled] {...} Also can apply value filter e.g.: following HTML disabling standard attribute with value div[disabled=disabled] {...}.
Browsers tested: IE 9, Chrome, Firefox and jquery-1.7.1.min.js
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#chkDisableEnableElements').change(function () {
if ($('#chkDisableEnableElements').is(':checked')) {
enableElements($('#divDifferentElements').children());
}
else {
disableElements($('#divDifferentElements').children());
}
});
});
function disableElements(el) {
for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].disabled = true;
disableElements(el[i].children);
}
}
function enableElements(el) {
for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].disabled = false;
enableElements(el[i].children);
}
}
HTML input controls can be disabled using 'disabled' attribute as you know. Once 'disabled' attribute for an input control is set, event handlers associated with such control are not invoked.
You have to simulate above behavior for HTML elements that don't support 'disabled' attribute like div, if you wish.
If you have a div, and you want to support click or a key event on that div, then you have to do two things:
1) When you want to disable the div, set its disabled attribute as usual (just to comply with the convention)
2) In your div's click and/or key handlers, check if disabled attribute is set on the div. If it is, then just disregard the click or key event (e.g. just return immediately). If disabled attribute is not set, then do your div's click and/or key event logic.
Above steps are browser independent as well.
How to disable the contents of a <div/>
The CSS pointer-events property alone doesn't disable child elements from scrolling, and it's not supported by IE10 and under for <div/> elements (only for SVG).
http://caniuse.com/#feat=pointer-events
To disable the contents of a <div/> on all browsers.
Jquery:
$("#myDiv")
.addClass("disable")
.click(function () {
return false;
});
CSS:
.disable {
opacity: 0.4;
}
/* Disable scrolling on child elements */
.disable div,
.disable textarea {
overflow: hidden;
}
To disable the contents of a <div/> on all browsers, except IE10 and under.
Jquery:
$("#myDiv").addClass("disable");
CSS:
.disable {
/* Note: pointer-events not supported by IE10 and under */
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.4;
}
/* Disable scrolling on child elements */
.disable div,
.disable textarea {
overflow: hidden;
}
This is for the searchers,
The best I did is,
$('#myDiv *').attr("disabled", true);
$('#myDiv *').fadeTo('slow', .6);
As mentioned in comments, you are still able to access element by navigating between elements by using tab key. so I recommend this :
$("#mydiv")
.css({"pointer-events" : "none" , "opacity" : "0.4"})
.attr("tabindex" , "-1");
Or just use css and a "disabled" class.
Note: don't use the disabled attribute.
No need to mess with jQuery on/off.
This is much easier and works cross browser:
.disabled{
position: relative;
}
.disabled:after{
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: inherit;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
Then you can shut it on and off when initializing your page, or toggling a button
if(myDiv !== "can be edited"){
$('div').removeClass('disabled');
} else{
$('div').addClass('disabled');
}
I thought I'd chip in a couple of notes.
< div > can be disabled in IE8/9. I assume this is "incorrect", and it threw me off
Don't use .removeProp(), as it has a permanent effect on the element. Use .prop("disabled", false) instead
$("#myDiv").filter("input,textarea,select,button").prop("disabled", true) is more explicit and will catch some form elements you would miss with :input
I would use an improved version of Cletus' function:
$.fn.disable = function() {
return this.each(function() {
if (typeof this.disabled != "undefined") {
$(this).data('jquery.disabled', this.disabled);
this.disabled = true;
}
});
};
$.fn.enable = function() {
return this.each(function() {
if (typeof this.disabled != "undefined") {
this.disabled = $(this).data('jquery.disabled');
}
});
};
Which stores the original 'disabled' property of the element.
$('#myDiv *').disable();
Below is a more comprehensive solution to masking divs enabling
no separate CSS
cover the whole page or just an element
specify mask color and opacity
specify Z-index so you can show popups over the mask
show an hourglass cursor over the mask
removing the masking div on maksOff so a different one can be shown later
stretch mask when element resize
return the mask element so you can style it etc
Also included is hourglassOn and hourglassOff which can be used separately
// elemOrId - jquery element or element id, defaults to $('<body>')'
// settings.color defaults to 'transparent'
// settings.opacity defaults to 1
// settings.zIndex defaults to 2147483647
// if settings.hourglasss==true change cursor to hourglass over mask
function maskOn(elemOrId, settings) {
var elem=elemFromParam(elemOrId);
if (!elem) return;
var maskDiv=elem.data('maskDiv');
if (!maskDiv) {
maskDiv=$('<div style="position:fixed;display:inline"></div>');
$('body').append(maskDiv);
elem.data('maskDiv', maskDiv);
}
if (typeof settings==='undefined' || settings===null) settings={};
if (typeof settings.color==='undefined' || settings.color===null) settings.color='transparent';
if (typeof settings.opacity==='undefined' || settings.opacity===null) settings.opacity=1;
if (typeof settings.zIndex==='undefined' || settings.zIndex===null) settings.zIndex=2147483647;
if (typeof settings.hourglass==='undefined' || settings.hourglass===null) settings.hourglass=false;
// stretch maskdiv over elem
var offsetParent = elem.offsetParent();
var widthPercents=elem.outerWidth()*100/offsetParent.outerWidth()+'%';
var heightPercents=elem.outerHeight()*100/offsetParent.outerHeight()+'%';
maskDiv.width(widthPercents);
maskDiv.height(heightPercents);
maskDiv.offset($(elem).offset());
// set styles
maskDiv[0].style.backgroundColor = settings.color;
maskDiv[0].style.opacity = settings.opacity;
maskDiv[0].style.zIndex = settings.zIndex;
if (settings.hourglass) hourglassOn(maskDiv);
return maskDiv;
}
// elemOrId - jquery element or element id, defaults to $('<body>')'
function maskOff(elemOrId) {
var elem=elemFromParam(elemOrId);
if (!elem) return;
var maskDiv=elem.data('maskDiv');
if (!maskDiv) {
console.log('maskOff no mask !');
return;
}
elem.removeData('maskDiv');
maskDiv.remove();
}
// elemOrId - jquery element or element id, defaults to $('<body>')'
// if decendents is true also shows hourglass over decendents of elemOrId, defaults to true
function hourglassOn(elemOrId, decendents) {
var elem=elemFromParam(elemOrId);
if (!elem) return;
if (typeof decendents==='undefined' || decendents===null) decendents=true;
if ($('style:contains("hourGlass")').length < 1) $('<style>').text('.hourGlass { cursor: wait !important; }').appendTo('head');
if ($('style:contains("hourGlassWithDecendents")').length < 1) $('<style>').text('.hourGlassWithDecendents, .hourGlassWithDecendents * { cursor: wait !important; }').appendTo('head');
elem.addClass(decendents ? 'hourGlassWithDecendents' : 'hourGlass');
}
// elemOrId - jquery element or element id, defaults to $('<body>')'
function hourglassOff(elemOrId) {
var elem=elemFromParam(elemOrId);
if (!elem) return;
elem.removeClass('hourGlass');
elem.removeClass('hourGlassWithDecendents');
}
function elemFromParam(elemOrId) {
var elem;
if (typeof elemOrId==='undefined' || elemOrId===null)
elem=$('body');
else if (typeof elemOrId === 'string' || elemOrId instanceof String)
elem=$('#'+elemOrId);
else
elem=$(elemOrId);
if (!elem || elem.length===0) {
console.log('elemFromParam no element !');
return null;
}
return elem;
}
With this you can do for example:
maskOn(); // transparent page mask
maskOn(null, {color:'gray', opacity:0.8}); // gray page mask with opacity
maskOff(); // remove page mask
maskOn(div); // transparent div mask
maskOn(divId, {color:'gray', hourglass:true}); // gray div mask with hourglass
maskOff(div); // remove div mask
see jsfiddle
function disableItems(divSelector){
var disableInputs = $(divSelector).find(":input").not("[disabled]");
disableInputs.attr("data-reenable", true);
disableInputs.attr("disabled", true);
}
function reEnableItems(divSelector){
var reenableInputs = $(divSelector).find("[data-reenable]");
reenableInputs.removeAttr("disabled");
reenableInputs.removeAttr("data-reenable");
}
Another way, in jQuery, would be to get the inner height, inner width and positioning of the containing DIV, and simply overlay another DIV, transparent, over the top the same size. This will work on all elements inside that container, instead of only the inputs.
Remember though, with JS disabled, you'll still be able to use the DIVs inputs/content. The same goes with the above answers too.
$("#yourdivid textarea, #yourdivid input, #yourdivid select").attr('disabled',true);
This css only/noscript solution adds an overlay above a fieldset (or a div or any other element), preventing interaction:
fieldset { position: relative; }
fieldset[disabled]::after { content: ''; display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; pointer-events: all; background: rgba(128,128,128,0.2); }
If you want an invisible i.e. transparent overlay, set the background to e.g. rgba(128,128,128,0), as it won't work without a background.
The above works for IE9+. The following much simpler css will work on IE11+
[disabled] { pointer-events: none; }
Chrome
If you are simply trying to stop people clicking and are not horrifically worried about security - I have found an absolute placed div with a z-index of 99999 sorts it fine. You can't click or access any of the content because the div is placed over it. Might be a bit simpler and is a CSS only solution until you need to remove it.
Its very easy to handle if you want to disable the pointer event
document.getElementById("appliedDatepicker").style.pointerEvents = "none";
or
if you want to enable,
document.getElementById("appliedDatepicker").style.pointerEvents = "auto";
EDIT:
Below I've used .on() method, instead use .bind() method
$(this).bind('click', false);
$(this).bind('contextmenu', false);
to remove your setting, you can use .unbind() method. Whereas the .off() method doesn't work as expected.
$(this).unbind('click', false);
$(this).unbind('contextmenu', false);
After researching hundreds of solutions! learning about pointer-events, below is what I did.
As #Kokodoko mentioned in his solution which is apt for all browsers except IE. pointer-events work in IE11 and not in the lower versions. I also noticed in IE11, pointer-events do not work on the child elements. And hence if we have something like below
<i class="car icon"></i><span>My Blog</span>
where span -is the child element, setting pointer-events: nonewont work
To overcome this problem I wrote a function which could act as pointer-events for IE and will work in the lower versions.
In JS File
DisablePointerEvents(".DisablePointerEvents");
function DisablePointerEvents(classId) {
$(classId).each(function () {
$(this).on('click', false );
$(this).on('contextmenu', false );
});
}
In CSS File
.DisablePointerEvents{
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.7;
cursor: default;
}
In HTML
<i class="car icon"></i><span>My Blog</span>
This faked the pointer-events scenario where pointer-events doesnt work and when the above condition of child elements occur.

There are configurable javascript libraries that take in a html string or dom element and strip out undesired tags and attributes. These are known as html sanitizers. For example:
DOMPurify
Insane
sanitize-html
E.g. In DOMPurify
DOMPurify.sanitize('<div>abc<iframe//src=jAva	script:alert(3)>def</div>');
// becomes <div>abcdef</div>
