I am quite new to programming, and have met a problem.
I really want to run this function, when I press a button. Here is the function that I want to run:
function generateTip() {
var tip = tipsList[generateNumber()];
var tipElement = document.querySelector('.js-tip');
tipElement.innerHTML = tip;
}
Alright, I want to run this function, when pressing a button, and here is the code for my jQuery button:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('button').click(function() {
//run function here
});
});
It doesn't have to be jQuery, I just thought that would be easier. I would be very grateful if somebody would help and explain.
Thanks in advance.
Inside your HTML, you can use the onclick event handler to call a function when the button is clicked, using vanilla javascript. Like so:
<button onclick="generateTip()">button text</button>
If you want a solution using jQuery and your current code, all you have to do is call the generateTip() function inside the $('button').click wrapper:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('button').click(function() {
generateTip();
});
});
So if you have a .js file with this code:
function generateTip() {
var tip = tipsList[generateNumber()];
var tipElement = document.querySelector('.js-tip');
tipElement.innerHTML = tip;
}
You can then attach it to an HTML element like so:
<button onclick="generateTip()"> Button </button>
Hope that helps
You're already there?
JQUERY Script:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('button').click(function() {
generateTip();
});
});
function generateTip() {
var tip = tipsList[generateNumber()];
var tipElement = document.querySelector('.js-tip');
tipElement.innerHTML = tip;
}
</script>
or by onclick only in the actual HTML and a script above:
<script>
function generateTip() {
var tip = tipsList[generateNumber()];
var tipElement = document.querySelector('.js-tip');
tipElement.innerHTML = tip;
</script>
Then in your HTML something like this
<input type="button" name"button" onclick="generateTip()";
To execute the function generateTip() on click, put this in your button code:
<input type="button" name="any" onclick="generateTip()"/>

I have an external JS file that contains the following jQuery code:
var globalNames = { next: 'input[name="next"]'};
var globalElements = { next: $e.find(globalNames.next) };
initQuiz: function() {
globalElements.next.click(function () {
if (y.forcingQuestionSolve && !j[c.index()] && (y.quizSummeryHide || !y.reviewQustion)) {
alert(WpProQuizGlobal.questionNotSolved);
return false
}
i.methode.nextQuestion()
}
);
the globalElements.next.click function is triggered by a click on a button:
<input type="button" name="next" value="Next" class="Button" ">
What I would like to do is call this p.next.click function from a Input Checkbox click.
I have added the following code:
<script>
$(document).on("click", "input[class='questionInput']", function () {
alert("Thanks for checking me");
// This is the line I'm not sure off !?!?
$('next').trigger('click');
});
</script>
As you can see, I have tried to call the trigger event but its not working.
I have to note that the 2 jQuery statements are not combined in document, they are separate.
EDIT: Added Correct Variables (global*)
Hi i think you only forgot to dedicate the button which has to be triggered.
<script>
$(document).on("click", "input[class='questionInput']", function () {
alert("Thanks for checking me");
// This is the line I'm not sure off !?!?
$('[name=next]').trigger('click');
// $('.Button').trigger('click');
});
thanks everyone.. I used the following code from Calvin Nunes-
$("[name='next']").trigger('click');

I have a button
<button id="buttonOne" onclick="pressOne()">Press</button>
i was wondering if it was possible using javascript to change the
onclick="pressOne()"
to
onclick="pressTwo()"
so the button would be
<button id="buttonOne" onclick="pressTwo()">Press</button>
Thanks!
You can change it using this:
$("#buttonOne").attr("onclick","pressTwo()");
For example:
function pressOne() {
$("#buttonOne").attr("onclick","pressTwo()");
}
Write this:
$("#buttonOne").attr("onclick","pressTwo()");
FIDDLE - Inspect element to see.
You can do that like this :
document.getElementById("buttonOne").setAttribute("onclick","pressTwo()");
jsFiddle
But it would be better to add an other function which handle clicks :
<button id="buttonOne" onclick="onPress()">Press</button>
With the following javascript :
var pressOne = function() {
...
}
var pressTwo = function() {
...
}
function onPress() {
if(..) {
pressOne();
} else {
pressTwo();
}
}
jsFiddle
What I've tried:
function addAttribute(){
document.getElementById('myid')...
};
window.onload = addAttribute;
How can I add add the attribute to my element with id="myid" ?
document.getElementById('telheaderid').yourattribute = "your_value";
For instance
document.getElementById('telheaderid').value = "your_value";
Using jQuery:
$('#telheaderid').attr('value', 'your_value');
EDIT:
Focus is the event that fires up when an element get focused or for instance when we click on the textarea it highlights thats the time.
Using jQuery:
$('#telheaderid').focus(function() {
$(this).val('');
// run any code when the textarea get focused
});
Using plain javascript:
document.getElementById('telheaderid').addEventListener('focus', function() {
this.value = "";
});
Use this:
document.getElementById('telheaderid').setAttribute('class','YourAttribute')
The W3C standard way:
function functionAddAttribute(){
document.getElementById('telheaderid').setAttribute('attributeName', 'attributeValue');
};
window.onload = functionAddAttribute;
for IE:
function functionAddAttribute(){
document.getElementById('telheaderid').attributeName = 'attributeValue';
};
window.onload = functionAddAttribute;
Enjoy your code!
Why clicking the button fires the alert? It is assigned to the paragraph, not button.
HTML:
<button onclick="foo()">Click me</button>
<p id="hidden" style="display:none"> I was hidden </p>
Javascript:
function foo(){
document.getElementById("hidden").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("hidden").onclick = innnerClick();
}
function innnerClick(){
alert("Ouch! That hurt!")
}
Because of this line:
// ----------------------------------------------------vv
document.getElementById("hidden").onclick = innnerClick();
Here you call the innnerClick function immediately.
Just remove () after to pass the reference to a function instead of calling it, i.e.
document.getElementById("hidden").onclick = innnerClick;
Since, you need to add the reference of the function like this:
function foo(){
document.getElementById("hidden").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("hidden").onclick = innnerClick;
}
not directly calling it.
Fiddle Demo
In jQuery, we can reproduce the same issue like:
$('button').click(function () {
$('#hidden').show();
$('#hidden').click(innnerClick()); <-- see the function with () here
});
Fiddle Demo
The issue is same here, we just need to pass the function reference to click handler here like:-
$('#hidden').click(innnerClick);
Fiddle Demo
I have this code tied to a button that when clicked, executes code to hide a table row:
<script>
$(function hideinstr() {
$('tr.parent td').on("click", "input.instr", function () {
var idOfParent = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id');
$('tr.child-' + idOfParent).toggle('slow');
});
});
</script>
I would like this code to execute by default when the page loads, and let the user click the button if the want to reveal the table row. How can I do this when the 'click' is built right into this code?
Your solution never executes the function hideinstr(). Also, consider using $(document).ready if your code is executed in the <head>. Add extra parentheses to execute the function, or remove the surrounding function (function hideinstr).
<script>
$(document).ready(function hideinstr() {
$('tr.parent td').on("click", "input.instr", function () {
var idOfParent = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id');
$('tr.child-' + idOfParent).toggle('slow');
});
}());
</script>
or
<script>
$(document).ready(
$('tr.parent td').on("click", "input.instr", function () {
var idOfParent = $(this).parents('tr').attr('id');
$('tr.child-' + idOfParent).toggle('slow');
});
);
</script>
And to execute the event script directly, use $('tr.parent td').click();.
