trouble loading javascript on html page load from jquery .load() - javascript

Working on a personal project with a navigation bar. I am using jquery x.load() to load html pages into a specific div. The pages load correctly into the div. However, one of the is using a jquery flipswitch. I am trying to read the state of this flipswitch, to no prevail. I have a main javascript file that loads the individual pages, which is basically my x.load(). I have a working jquery script for reading the switch state, that works when placed directly into the developers console. I have attempted this code both inline in the individual page as well as my main javascript file. When I place it inside the individual page, it will at times cause a race condition to develop.
I am looking for any suggestions, advice, or direction on being able to read the status of the flipswitch from the individual pages.
The first section of code is my javascript file. The second section of code, is both my individual page, as well as my main html page that loads the individual html page, respectively.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var SideNav = $('.side-nav'),
NavTrigger = $('.nav-trigger'),
Content = $('.content'),
ApartmentAlarm = $('#Alarm'),
$('.ui-flipswitch').click(function(){console.log($(this).hasClass('ui-flipswitch-active') ? 'On' : 'Off')})
NavTrigger.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert("click works");
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});
ApartmentAlarm.on('click', function() {
//event.preventDefault();
Content.load('alarm.html');
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});

As you are using jQuery Mobile Flipswitch of type checkbox, you can get the status by checking the property checked. Here is a jQuery Mobile Flipswitch playground:
var cases = {false: "Unchecked", true: "Checked"};
function getStatus() {
$("#statusLeft").html(cases[$("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked")]);
$("#statusRight").html(cases[$("#RightSwitch").prop("checked")]);
}
$(document).on("change", "#LeftSwitch", function(e) {
var status = $(this).prop("checked");
$("#statusLeft").html("Changed to "+cases[status]);
});
$(document).on("change", "#RightSwitch", function(e) {
var status = $(this).prop("checked");
$("#statusRight").html("Changed to "+cases[status]);
});
function toggleLeft() {
var status = $("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked");
$("#LeftSwitch").prop("checked", !status).flipswitch("refresh");
}
function toggleRight() {
var status = $("#RightSwitch").prop("checked");
$("#RightSwitch").prop("checked", !status).flipswitch("refresh");
}

By using the change event instead of click you will be notified of the flipswitch toggling also if you are setting the status in code.
Additional notes:
About what you are defining "race condition" i believe you are referring to one of the common mistakes when using jQuery Mobile, i.e. document.ready vs. page events. Please read this post here, and also take some time to read the whole story in deep in this great post of Omar here: jQuery Mobile “Page” Events – What, Why, Where, When & How? (you will find here some other useful posts about this topic).
Moreover: you are trying to update the flipswtches manually by setting the ui-flipswitch-active class by yourself, but i believe you will run into the problem of keeping the status and the ui consistent. So, you may better use the standard JQM way to set the flipswitch status by using flipswitch.refresh. There is already an example in my code snippet.
The last note: until you strongly need it - and you know how to versioning jQuery Mobile - please use the same version of these libraries in all your files, so in your case i believe the pair jQuery 2.1 + JQM 1.4.5 shall be just fine.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var SideNav = $('.side-nav'),
NavTrigger = $('.nav-trigger'),
Content = $('.content'),
ApartmentAlarm = $('#Alarm');
$('.ui-flipswitch').click(function(){console.log($(this).hasClass('ui-flipswitch-active') ? 'On' : 'Off')});
NavTrigger.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert("click works");
$([SideNav, NavTrigger]).toggleClass('nav-visible');
});
ApartmentAlarm.on('click', function() {
//event.preventDefault();
Content.load('alarm.html');

mmenu position & direction attributes to slide in from right

I read another person's question asking how to make mmenu slide in from the right side of the screen instead of the left. They responded saying that they got it to work by doing the following, but it does not work in my instance - it still moves in from the left side of the screen, not the right like I want.
The mmenu related files are the latest from http://mmenu.frebsite.nl/, so I do not believe it's a version issue.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link type="text/css" href="jquery.mmenu.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.mmenu.min.all.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var API = $("#menu").mmenu({
dragOpen: true,
position:'right',
direction:'right'
}).data( "mmenu" );
$("#menu-button").click(function() {
API.open();
});
});
</script>

This is some body content

<button id="menu-button">open/close</button>
<nav id="menu">

<li>About us
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
From this page of the plugin documentation, you need to include the "positioning" extension. I guess it is already included in your case, because you call the all.js and all.css files.
Then, use the following code :
$("#menu").mmenu({
offCanvas: {
position: "right"
}
});
<head>
<script src="path/to/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.mmenu.js"></script>
<link href="path/to/jquery.mmenu.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="path/to/jquery.mmenu.positioning.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#my-menu").mmenu({
extensions: ["position-right"]
});
});
</script>

Trouble getting button to show up

I'm new to jQuery and JavaScript. I have a checkbox list that looks great, but I'm trying to add a button to it so that when the user is done checking, the button is hit, and then my function is called to figure out what is checked and also what is not checked.
However, my button is missing. I tried adding the code within li tags with the rest of the checkbox part, but it didn't show up. I tried adding it after the dd tag and also after the end of the div. I think I have to keep it within the form tag for my function to work, unless I'm mistaken. Any ideas why the button isn't showing up?
This is the example I found the function idea in. I searched on the internet and can't find any good ideas why my button doesn't show up. It's probably a syntax error with the tab or something.
Thanks!
This is my code:

Device Compatibility in Jquery mobile / Unable to retrieve Radio button value in JQM 1.2.0

Is there any standard way of coding in Jquery mobile... (ie) Why this question is because the same code for page event is working fine in some devices..and some devices not even produce error or alert...
Example:-
Check the below code
$(document).on('pageinit', "#pageid", function() {
alert("inside page init");
$('input[name="radioBtn"]').on('change', function () {
alert($(this).val());
});
});
It is working fine in browsers both webkit, chrome and mozilla ...but not working in mobiles..
I don't know what is wrong..Can anyone please advice..
NOTE: I tried and using the following link http://www.gajotres.net/document-onpageinit-vs-document-ready/
but still its not working...
This is about my page structure:

Javascript: DOM elements updated via jquery.get() aren't responding to extant page listeners

I'm trying to update the content of a div (#slide-content) on clicking certain navigation elements (h2.pagenav). The content structure is uniform, and each requested HTML document contains two such nav elements ('Previous','Next'). However, my listener only fires once—for click events on the initial nav button present at page load, and I don't understand why.
My understanding is that when using jQuery's append() function instead of html(), the appended content should be registered with the DOM and thus available for event listening. Lil' help?
The page structure is pretty simple:
The HTML
<?php require('common.php'); ?>
<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/foundation.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/foundation-icons.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
<script src="js/vendor/modernizr.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="slide-content">
<div class="slide">
<div class="row">
<div class="row">
<!---- content ---->
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-4 small-centered columns">
<h2 data-link="slide_0" class="medium button expand text-center pagenav">Start <i class="fi-play"></i></h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src='js/vendor/jquery.js'></script>
<script src='js/foundation.min.js'></script>
<script>
$(document).foundation();
</script>
<script src='js/app.js'></script>
</body>
</html>
The Javascript
And here is the relevant it of app.js
/**
* PAGE VARS
*/
var DS = '/';
var WEBROOT = "127.0.0.1"+DS+"ethogram"+DS;
var PHP = ".php";
/**
* DOM LISTENERS
*/
$(".pagenav").click(function() {
console.log("*** pagenav listener has fired");
var loc = $(this).attr('data-link');
var pageNum = loc.substr(-2) == "_" ? loc.substr(-1) : loc.substr(-2);
var URL = WEBROOT+"slides"+DS+loc+PHP;
$.get(URL, function(data) {
$("#slide-content").html('').append(data).fadeIn();
});
});
The ".on()" function should be used. ".live()" is deprecated.
.on() function
$("body").on("click", ".pagenav", function() {
// do something
});
You should use
$("body").on ("click",".pagenav",function(){
// Your code go here
})
This function will detect the items created programatically
See Documentation

add content to page from form input - jquery

I'm trying to create a simple "to do" app that is built via jquery.
The idea is to have a form input that will accept a string, have that string become a variable that will then be added to a "list" as a new "item." The problem is that these new items (that should appear as new HTML p elements) are not showing up once the Submit button is clicked.

JQUERY:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".button").click(function(){
var add = $('input[name=listInput]').val();
$('.list').append('<p class="item">' + add + '</p>');
});
$(document).on('click','.item', function() {
$(this).remove();
});
});
THE JSFIDDLE IS HERE: http://jsfiddle.net/EUq8P/2/
The problem is the button is a submit button which causes the pages to refresh on click by the default action of the button
Also there is problem with the input field selector, your selector will not work because the input field does not have the name listInput, it has the id listInput, so you need to use id-selector
One solution is to prevent the default action of the button by calling the preventDefault() method of the event
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".button").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
var add = $('#listInput').val();
$('.list').append('<p class="item">' + add + '</p>');
});
$(document).on('click', '.item', function () {
$(this).remove();
});
});
Demo: Fiddle
Another is to change the type of the button from submit to button
Demo: Fiddle
Working demo http://jsfiddle.net/8XfQT/
culprit was: var add = $('input[name=listInput]').val();
it should be var add = $('input[id=listInput]').val();
Hope rest help you out :)
code
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".button").click(function () {
var add = $('input[id=listInput]').val();
$('.list').append('<p class="item">' + add + '</p>');
});
$(document).on('click', '.item', function () {
$(this).remove();
});
});
