after inspecting the element on google chrome tools
<a class="_cancelRxSelection" href="javascript:void(0)">Cancel</a>
And I had found that in the code:
$('a._cancelRxSelection', self.el).click(function() {
$('div._configRx', el).remove();
});
},
it's just a cancel link that supposed to cancel after a button has been clicked.
I know this is fairly broad but what are some things i can look at?
I tried el).hide(); instead of remove(); still of no effect
Remove the href="javascript:void(0)". Also, add a .preventDefault() inside the original click handler. ie:
$('a._cancelRxSelection', self.el).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('div._configRx', el).remove();
});
})

JS Fiddle Example
I'm opeing the dropdown boxes using the 'FOO', 'BOO' items in the navigation bar and I'm closing them when a click event occurs outside using the following code which is working fine.
$(document).on('click', '.dd-box', function() {
// Comment out the return statement below and the links will start working.
return false
});
The problem that I'm experiencing is that this is also stopping the links within the dropdown boxes from being visted.
The reason I need this code is because I don't want the dropdown boxes to close when click events happen within them.
I'm trying to avoid using hacks like window.open to force the link from being visited, any ideas?
you should put stopPropagation
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
...

Hello I have some links in my HTML code. I want to change the href property of each link on hover and then on clicking this link I want to open it up in a new tab. The code is as follows:
$('.identifierClass').hover(function(e) {
if(condition) // is true
{
$(element).attr("href", "url/goes/here").off().click(function(e) {
$(element).attr("target", "_blank");
});
}
});
Everything is working properly in Chrome/Firefox, however, on clicking the link in IE 11 it simply hangs and click wont work.
Any help is appreciated.
You need to bind to a static or preexisting element that the dynamic elements will be created inside of:
$(document).on('mouseenter','.identifierClass',function(e) {
if(condition) // is true
{
$(element).attr("href", "url/goes/here").attr("target", "_blank");
}
});
Edit: here is a fiddle of it and I also had to use 'mouseenter' instead of 'hover' when using the string name for the event. jquery .hover() documentation
In the fiddle i show you two divs being added dynamically:
$('#place').html('<div class="identifierClass">hover1</div><div class="identifierClass2">hover2</div>');
Above that, I set my event handlers, for hover1 div, I set the event on the document using a specified selector:
$(document).on('mouseenter','.identifierClass',function(e) {
alert('hi');
});
You can see this works when you hover of 'hover1' text on the right and, conversely, you can see hover2 doesn't work using this binding:
$('.identifierClass2').hover(function(e) {
alert('hi2');
});
here is a link to the jquery documentation on event delegation.
Edit2: I updated the fiddle to address the 'href' manipulation. It appears that you just want to change some attributes on the hover portion:
I modified the 'mouseenter' binding to look like this:
$(document).on('mouseenter','.identifierClass',function(e) {
alert('hi'); $('#someLink').attr('href','http://www.bing.com').attr('target','_blank');
});
I don't think you need the 'off' or the 'click', but that is based off of some assumptions, so please feel free to comment and I can update accordingly. This, though, will change the href when the mouseenters the dynamic element and change the target attribute as well.
Currenlty when a page is posting back or something else is going on I display a big grey div over the top of the whole page so that the user can't click the same button multiple times. This works fine 99% of the time, the other 1% is on certain mobile devices where the user can scroll/zoom away from the div.
Instead of trying to perfect the CSS so that it works correctly (this will be an on going battle with new devices) I've decided to just stop the user from being able to click anything. Something like $('a').click(function(e){e.preventDefault();}); would stop people from clicking anchor tags and navigating to the link but it wouldn't stop an onclick event in the link from firing.
I want to try to avoid changing the page too radically (like removing every onclick attribute) since the page will eventually have to be changed back to its original state. What I would like to do is intercept clicks before the onclick event is executed but I don't think that this is possible. What I do instead is hide the clicked element on mouse down and show it on mouseup of the document, this stops the click event firing but doesn't look very nice. Can anyone think of a better solution? If not then will this work on every device/browser?
var catchClickHandler = function(){
var $this = $(this);
$this.attr('data-orig-display', $this.css('display'));
$this.css({display:'none'});
};
var resetClickedElems = function(){
$('[data-orig-display]').each(function(){
$(this).css({display:$(this).attr('data-orig-display')}).removeAttr('data-orig-display');
});
};
$('#btn').click(function(){
$('a,input').on('mousedown',catchClickHandler);
$(document).on('mouseup', resetClickedElems);
setTimeout(function(){
$('a,input').off('mousedown',catchClickHandler);
$(document).off('mouseup', resetClickedElems);
}, 5000);
});

You could use the jQuery BlockUI Plugin
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/block/
You can do something like this to prevent all actions of the anchor tags:
jQuery('#btn').click(function(){
jQuery('a').each(function() {
jQuery(this).attr('stopClick', jQuery(this).attr('onclick'))
.removeAttr('onclick')
.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
});
That renames the onclick to stopclick if you need to revert later and also stops the default behavior of following the href.
document.addListener('click',function(e){e.preventDefault()})
Modified-
Its your duty to remove the click event from the document after you are done accomplishing with your task.
Eg -
function prevent(e){
e.preventDefault()
}
//add
document.addListener('click',prevent)
//remove
document.removeListener('click',prevent)
This may sound a weird question,
I have a page which has a link:
<a href="#" class="emails" > Email to Friends </a>
Now I have an event attach to the anchor tag so that on click the given div toggle it state.
The Javascript Code look like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".emails").bind("click",function() {
$("div#container").toggle
})
})
Now the above code and all of it works fine,
but here the big deal,
when I click the given link the my focus of the page move to top of the page,
and I have to scroll all the way down to see the change.
Can anyone help me on this?
It does this because the href="#" is an empty anchor. Anchors are used for linking to specific spots within a page. An empty anchor results in the page going back to the top.
To fix this in your javascript, you need to prevent the click event from propagating or "bubbling" up the DOM. You can do this by returning false from your click event.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".emails").bind("click",function() {
$("div#container").toggle();
return false; // prevent propagation
})
});
You can also make the event available in the bind's click handler function by using an argument, usually named e. Having access to the event allows you to call methods on it such as .preventDefault().
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".emails").bind("click", function(event) {
$("div#container").toggle();
event.preventDefault(); // this can also go at the start of the method if you prefer
})
});
This will solve all cases where anchor is empty.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').click(function () {
$('[href = #]');
return false;
});
});
This comes from the href='#' in the a. Just remove this tag. But then it's technically not a link any more, so the cursor will default to a text-selector when over it. You can override this using cursor:pointer in your CSS. See the left menu on this website for reference.
Use:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="emails" > Email to Friends </a>
Or, using jQuery,
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".emails").attr("href","javascript:void(0)");
})
Void(0) returns a.. well.. it doesn't return anything. The browser knows how to go to nothing (i.e., what would happen if you did href=""), and to # (# is the top of the page), but not how to go to a void "value".
Whenever you put a javascript: in an attribute, the attribute's value gets set to the return value of the code inside. The code is called the first time the attribute is accessed.
But, void(0) returns nothing. Not even "". The browser takes this to meant that the link is not a link at all.
So, i'm trying to close a form on blur, e.g. Facebook comments. The issue is, I had a:
$(window).click(function(){ $('.comment_form').hide(); });
$('.comment_form').click(function(){ return false; });
Which worked fine, however, by adding that return false, it cancels out the submit button when clicked when i actually went to make it live.
I thought this would work logically instead:
$('*:not(.comment_form,.comment_form *)').click(function(eve)
{
$('.comment_form').hide();
});
But, unfortunatly, it doesn't and i assume it's because when i click on, let's say, .comment_form i actually am clicking on body, div, div... etc so it actually hides it multiple times.
My work around was finally
$('*').click(function(eve)
{
if(!$(eve.target).is('.comment_form,.comment_form *'))
{
$('.comment_form').hide();
}
});
However, i'm not so sure i like this and this is why im asking. This is going to fire this click event every single click.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Your solution is on the right track, but it might be saner to attach the event to document, instead of all elements (*):
$(document).click(function(eve) {
if (!$(eve.target).is('.comment_form, .comment_form *')) {
$('.comment_form').hide();
}
});
