I am using the below code in the google tag manager custom JavaScript variable, but it returns same index value for every line item, what can be the issue?
Web page link: https://www.amity.edu/programe-list.aspx?fd=all
function() {
var elements = document.querySelectorAll('.staff-container');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++){
(function(index){
elements[i].children[0].children[0].addEventListener("click", myScript);
function myScript(){
return("Clicked : ",index);
}
})(i);
}
}
There is an error in the 5th line.
It should be elements[index].children... in that case.
The updated code:
function() {
var elements = document.querySelectorAll('.staff-container');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++){
(function(index){
elements[index].children[0].children[0].addEventListener("click", myScript);
function myScript(){
return("Clicked : ",index);
}
})(i);
}
}
Here is an alternative way from Simo's blog
Blog link
Although the post is say about visibility element. I test it with click on my website.
This might work
function() {
var list = document.querySelectorAll('.staff-container a'),
el = {{Click Element}};
return [].indexOf.call(list, el) + 1;
}
If it is not working, you might need to provide the screenshot about the click element from your GTM preview.
I have a script that I'm running to detect a line break in a flex-wrapped UL.
I have this javascript function at the top of my scripts.js file outside of the $(document).ready call.
var detectWrap = function(className) {
var wrappedItems = [];
var prevItem = {};
var currItem = {};
var items = document.getElementsByClassName(className);
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
currItem = items[i].getBoundingClientRect();
if (prevItem && prevItem.top < currItem.top) {
wrappedItems.push(items[i]);
}
prevItem = currItem;
};
return wrappedItems;
}
Inside of a $(document).ready call, I have this:
$( ".menu-item-has-children" ).click(function() {
var wrappedItems = detectWrap('menu-item-object-practice-area');
for (var k = 0; k < wrappedItems.length; k++) {
wrappedItems[k].className = "wrapped";
}
});
If I load the page and click the "Practice Areas", I get nothing. If I open up the console and drop in the following it works fine:
var wrappedItems = detectWrap('menu-item-object-practice-area');
for (var k = 0; k < wrappedItems.length; k++) {
wrappedItems[k].className = "wrapped";
}
I'm assuming this has something to do with the timing and/or what is loaded up but I'm not adding content into the DOM...I'm just adding a class.
For reference, here is the site: https://myersbrierkelly.djykrmv8-liquidwebsites.com/
When you click the drop-down menu, two separate event handlers respond:
Yours, to measure for wrapped items
The library you're using, to toggle the display of the submenu
However, as there is nothing to manage the order of these, what ends up happening is that your wrap-detector runs before the submenu is shown, and if the submenu isn't shown yet then you can't measure getBoundingClientRect() since it doesn't exist. A simple console.log(currItem) would have revealed this.
If you can't guarantee the order of events (which may well be the case when using a library), then you should delay your code by a frame.
$(".menu-item-has-children").click(function() {
requestAnimationFrame(function() {
var wrappedItems...
});
});
I have a couple of divs with a "isVideo" class. I can successfully attach a click event with a for loop, but I also need to create a span within each div. This is what I have:
var videos = document.getElementsByClassName("isVideo");
for (var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
videos[i].addEventListener('click', playVideo, false);
var playBtn = videos[i].createElement("span");
playBtn.appendChild(videos[i]);
}
codepen: http://codepen.io/garethj/pen/bpxVKX
You are appending div inside span. You need to append spanElement inside divElement
var videos = document.getElementsByClassName("isVideo");
for (var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
videos[i].addEventListener('click', playVideo, false);
var playBtn = document.createElement("span");
videos[i].appendChild(playBtn);
}
Edit: Also change videos[i].createElement to document.createElement as videos[i] does not have method createElement
Codepen Demo
It should be done in the opposite way.
Replace
playBtn.appendChild(videos[i]);
with
videos[i].appendChild(playBtn);
I am trying to create hover and hover out via javascript.
I have
test.prototype.build = function(){
other codes...
link.href = '#';
link.innerHTML += 'test'
link.onmouseover = hover
link.onmouseout = hoverOut
other codes...
}
function hover(){
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.class='testDiv';
div.innerHTML = 'test';
$(this).prepend(div);
}
function hoverOut(){
var div = document.getElementsByClassName('testDiv');
div.style.display='none';
}
My task is to create a hover and hover out function. My problem is I am not sure how to hide the testDiv when the user hover out of the link.
getElementsByClassName doesn't seem to work in my case. Are there better way to do this in javascript? Thanks a lot!
document.getElementsByClassName('testDiv') returns an collection, not a single object, but you can probably just use this to refer to the current object. Since you showed some jQuery in your original code, I assume that is OK here.
function hoverOut(){
$(this).find(".testDiv").hide();
}
or, in plain javascript, it could be:
function hoverOut(){
var elems = this.getElementsByClassName("testDiv");
for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
elems[i].style.display = "none";
}
}
Your hover and hoverOut code don't match though because you're creating a new div on hover every time in hover and then only hiding it in hoverOut so they will accumulate.
If you want to remove the div you added in hoverOut(), you can do that like this:
function hoverOut(){
$(this).find(".testDiv").remove();
}
or in plain javascript:
function hoverOut(){
var elems = this.getElementsByClassName("testDiv");
for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
elems[i].parentNode.removeChild(elems[i]);
}
}
I have a form that pop up inside a layer, and I need to make everything inside that form read only regarding what type of input it is. Anyway to do so?
This is quite simple in plain JavaScript and will work efficiently in all browsers that support read-only form inputs (which is pretty much all browsers released in the last decade):
var form = document.getElementById("your_form_id");
var elements = form.elements;
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
elements[i].readOnly = true;
}
With HTML5 it's possible to disable all inputs contained using the <fieldset disabled /> attribute.
disabled:
If this Boolean attribute is set, the form controls that are its
descendants, except descendants of its first optional
element, are disabled, i.e., not editable. They won't received any
browsing events, like mouse clicks or focus-related ones. Often
browsers display such controls as gray.
Reference: MDC: fieldset
You can use the :input selector, and do this:
$("#myForm :input").prop('readonly', true);
:input selects all <input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button> elements. Also the attribute is readonly, if you use disabled to the elements they won't be posted to the server, so choose which property you want based on that.
Its Pure Javascript :
var fields = document.getElementById("YOURDIVID").getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++)
{
fields[i].disabled = true;
}
Old question, but nobody mentioned using css:
pointer-events: none;
Whole form becomes immune from click but also hovers.
You can do this the easiest way by using jQuery. It will do this for all input, select and textarea elements (even if there are more than one in numbers of these types).
$("input, select, option, textarea", "#formid").prop('disabled',true);
or you can do this as well but this will disable all elements (only those elements on which it can be applied).
$("*", "#formid").prop('disabled',true);
disabled property can applies to following elements:
button
fieldset
input
optgroup
option
select
textarea
But its upto you that what do you prefer to use.
Old question, but right now you can do it easily in pure javascript with an array method:
form = document.querySelector('form-selector');
Array.from(form.elements).forEach(formElement => formElement.disabled = true);
1) form.elements returns a collection with all the form controls (inputs, buttons, fieldsets, etc.) as an HTMLFormControlsCollection.
2) Array.from() turns the collection into an array object.
3) This allows us to use the array.forEach() method to iterate through all the items in the array...
4) ...and disable them with formElement.disabled = true.
$("#formid input, #formid select").attr('disabled',true);
or to make it read-only:
$("#formid input, #formid select").attr('readonly',true);
Here is another pure JavaScript example that I used. Works fine without Array.from() as a NodeList has it's own forEach method.
document.querySelectorAll('#formID input, #formID select, #formID button, #formID textarea').forEach(elem => elem.disabled = true);
// get the reference to your form
// you may need to modify the following block of code, if you are not using ASP.NET forms
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}
// this code disables all form elements
var elements = theForm.elements;
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
elements[i].disabled = true;
}
This one has never failed me and I did not see this approach on the other answers.
//disable inputs
$.each($("#yourForm").find("input, button, textarea, select"), function(index, value) {
$(value).prop("disabled",true);
});
disable the form by setting an attribute on it that disables interaction generally
<style>form[busy]{pointer-events:none;}</style>
<form>....</form>
<script>
function submitting(event){
event.preventDefault();
const form = this; // or event.target;
// just in case...
if(form.hasAttribute('busy')) return;
// possibly do validation, etc... then disable if all good
form.setAttribute('busy','');
return fetch('/api/TODO', {/*TODO*/})
.then(result=>{ 'TODO show success' return result; })
.catch(error=>{ 'TODO show error info' return Promise.reject(error); })
.finally(()=>{
form.removeAttribute('busy');
})
;
}
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('form')).forEach(form=>form.addEventListener('submit',submitting);
</script>
Javascript : Disable all form fields :
function disabledForm(){
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].disabled = true;
}
var selects = document.getElementsByTagName("select");
for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
selects[i].disabled = true;
}
var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (var i = 0; i < textareas.length; i++) {
textareas[i].disabled = true;
}
var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName("button");
for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
buttons[i].disabled = true;
}
}
To Enabled all fields of form see below code
function enableForm(){
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].disabled = false;
}
var selects = document.getElementsByTagName("select");
for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
selects[i].disabled = false;
}
var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (var i = 0; i < textareas.length; i++) {
textareas[i].disabled = false;
}
var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName("button");
for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
buttons[i].disabled = false;
}
}
As the answer by Tim Down I suggest:
const FORM_ELEMENTS = document.getElementById('idelementhere').elements;
for (i = 0; i < FORM_ELEMENTS.length; i++) {
FORM_ELEMENTS[i].disabled = true;
}
This will disable all elements inside a form.
for what it is worth, knowing that this post is VERY old... This is NOT a read-only approach, but works for me. I use form.hidden = true.
Thanks Tim,
That was really helpful.
I have done a little tweaking when we have controls and we handle a event on them.
var form = document.getElementById("form");
var elements = form.elements;
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; ++i) {
elements[i].setAttribute("onmousedown", "");
}
