jQuery load function not working on binding

I bind "load" and "change" in jQuery code.
My goal is: disable some field based on logic when page load.
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
//Question 34.1
jQuery('select#fever').bind('load change', function () {
var drug_reaction = jQuery(this).val();
if(drug_reaction== 1){
jQuery('input#fever_days').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#night_sweats').attr('disabled',false);
}else{
jQuery('input#fever_days').val("");
jQuery('input#fever_days').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').val("");
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').val("");
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#night_sweats').val("");
jQuery('select#night_sweats').attr('disabled',true);
}
});
});
When I change fever dropdown , its working. But when page load, I fetch data from Database and this code not working:
var drug_reaction = jQuery(this).val();
if(drug_reaction== 1){
jQuery('input#fever_days').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').attr('disabled',false);
jQuery('select#night_sweats').attr('disabled',false);
}else{
jQuery('input#fever_days').val("");
jQuery('input#fever_days').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').val("");
jQuery('select#character_of_fever').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').val("");
jQuery('select#evening_raise_of_temparature').attr('disabled',true);
jQuery('select#night_sweats').val("");
jQuery('select#night_sweats').attr('disabled',true);
}

load events fire on elements which load data from a URL (e.g. the whole page, img elements and iframe elements).
A select element doesn't load external data, and nor do any of its descendants. There is no load event.
Even if there was, it would have already loaded by the time the ready event fires.
Trigger the change event as part of your ready event handler instead.
jQuery('select#fever')
.bind('change', function () { ... })
.trigger("change");

Ajax Load Event Incrementing By One

I have a simple textarea where users can input text which is then passed through via AJAX to a URL once they hit the return key. My issue is that on the first press of the return key the text data is sent once, on the second it's sent twice, and so on incrementing my one each time.
After some reading up I realise that if I was using a form submit I'd have to unbind it to prevent this happening. I've tried adding a value flag to prevent the multiple events, but have only got so far as to get it to trigger once only.
My code is as follows. Any guidance on how to prevent the incrementing events would be appreciated - as you can probably tell my confidence/knowledge in Javascript isn't the best. Thank you!
$(function() {
$("#myTextarea").keypress(function(e) {
// If the user hits the return key
if(e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
success: function(){
var modal = $('#myModal'), modalBody = $('#myModal .modal-body');
modal
// Load the webpage result within the modal Body
.on('show.bs.modal', function () {
modalBody.load('http://www.things.co.uk/things' + document.getElementById('myTextArea').value)
})
.modal();
// Hide the modal after five seconds
myModalTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
}, 5000);
}
});
}
});
});
Edit: I solved this by using one() for my modal event via http://www.andismith.com/blog/2011/11/on-and-off/. Thank you everyone.

You must attach the event handler only once. I suppose you're getting the JS in your AJAX response, and executing it again and again on each AJAX load. Removing and re-attaching the handlers is a hacky solution.
To avoid to attach the event handlers more than once, simply put your script in a part of the page which is not reloaded by AJAX, so the event is attached only once.
You can even attach an event handler to an element that is reloaded by ajax using delegated events: Understanding Event Delegation
With this technique, you attach the event handler to a container parent element which is not reloaded by ajax, and handle the events of the reloaded children specified by a filter.
$( "#container" ).on("<event>", "<children filter>", function( event ) {
// code to handle the event
});
Note that in this sample #container is the element which isn't reloaded by ajax. And <children filter> is a jquery selector that chooses the children whose event mus be handled. (<event> is obviously the event name, like click or keyPress).
Explanation: when the event is trigger in the child element, it pops up to the container. The container catches it, and checks that the children passes the filter. If so, the vent is handled.

If there are no more event handlers on myTextarea div code below should suffice.
If there are multiple event handlers attached to keypress event you will have to use named function and remove it using $.unbind() more on how to do this.
$(function() {
$("#myTextarea").off();
$("#myTextarea").keypress(function(e) {
// If the user hits the return key
if(e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
success: function(){
var modal = $('#myModal'), modalBody = $('#myModal .modal-body');
modal
// Load the webpage result within the modal Body
.on('show.bs.modal', function () {
modalBody.load('http://www.things.co.uk/things' + document.getElementById('myTextArea').value)
})
.modal();
// Hide the modal after five seconds
myModalTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
}, 5000);
}
});
}
});
});

How to bind jquery function to specified element

I want to make function working only on page with specified element.
I have search page, search fields and results are in search-block div.
I want to bind function to this block, so function will not work on other pages (without <div id='search-block>...</div>)
I have next js code atm:
$(document).ready(function()
// instructions for another page (handlers for some links)
$(function(){
setInterval(findSomething,1000);
});
});
It working fine on page with search-block div, but it works fine on the other pages too. Browser tries to run this function on all other pages. I don't need this.
I tried jquery bind, but it now worked for me, don't know why :(
$("#search-block").bind(function(){
setInterval(findSomething,1000);
});
How I can bind handler to speciges too.fied block?

Instead of bind you have to check for the length of that elem:
$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#search-block').length > 0){ // <---checks the availability
setInterval(findSomething,1000);
}
});

Bind is always used with an event to bind to:
$( "#foo" ).bind( "mouseenter mouseleave", function() {
});
if you want to execute that only when the block is available on the page, use this:
if ($('#search-block').length) {
setInterval(findSomething,1000);
}
This checks the number of times #search-block is found on the page and if it is not 0(false) it executes the code.

Bind click to images loaded via AJAX

I've been having some trouble with this block of code, and I think I've finally narrowed the problem down. Here's the jQuery function...
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('#formattingSection').load ('formattingdoc.html #formatting');
$('#loadFormatting').click(function() {
$('#formattingSection').load ('formattingdoc.html #formatting');
});
$('#loadSmileys').click(function() {
$('#formattingSection').load ('formattingdoc.html #smileys');
});
$('#formattingSection div img').click(function() {
var code = $(this).attr("title");
alert (code);
$('wallpost').val($('wallpost').val() + code);
});
});
Basically, it works like this. The page loads, we load part of a doc via AJAX. There are four buttons on the page, each one loads a new section via AJAX. When you click #loadSmileys, it will load via AJAX several images and display them in the DIV.
I'm binding a click() event to those images... but what I've found is that since the images aren't on the page at load time, the click event never gets bound. When I strip all the code away and load the images without AJAX, the click binds okay.
So... my question here... is there a way to bind the click event to the images AFTER they are loaded via AJAX?
For reference... I did make a jsBin HERE, but it's basically just hard coding the images to that I can see it works without the AJAX stuff going on.

Try:
$("#formattingSection").on("click","div img",function() {
var code = $(this).attr("title");
alert (code);
$('wallpost').val($('wallpost').val() + code);
});
As $.on attaches event handler to the parent and all events from children are delegated to the parent
Documentation

Yes, you totally can attach event handles to DOM nodes loaded on-the-fly. The trick is to use jQuery.get instead of .load. .get allows you to add an additional callback function that gets executed upon AJAX completion - the perfect place for you to add your $("#formattingSection div img") code. Here's what it would look like:
$('#loadSmileys').click(function() {
$('#formattingSection').get ({
url: "formattingdoc.html",
success: success
});
});
function success() {
$('#formattingSection div img').click(function() {
var code = $(this).attr("title");
alert (code);
$('wallpost').val($('wallpost').val() + code);
});
}

$('#formattingSection').load ('formattingdoc.html #formatting', function( response, status, xhr ) {
loading_completed();
});
function loading_completed()
{
$('#formattingSection div img').click(function() {
var code = $(this).attr("title");
alert (code);
$('wallpost').val($('wallpost').val() + code);
});
}
Try this

$('#loadSmileys').click(function() {
$('#formattingSection').load ('formattingdoc.html #smileys', function() {
$('#formattingSection div img').click(function() {
var code = $(this).attr("title");
alert (code);
$('wallpost').val($('wallpost').val() + code);
});
});
});

You should use the 'on' method. This can apply click handlers to elements created after the on method is called.
e.g.
$("#formattingSection").on("click","div img",function() {
...
}
As imges are added, they will automatically get the click handler functionality.
This question I asked helps explain the difference: jquery use of bind vs on click

change event doesn't fire on ajax loaded forms

I have an HTML document, with the jquery code
$(function(){
[...]
$("#newNotice").click(function(){
$("#properties").load("testDiagramm.html #NoticeForm");
return false;
});
function showFormValues(){
var s = $("form").serialize();
[... Do things ...]
}
$("input, textarea").change(showFormValues);
});
At the beginning there is no form in the HTML document. But i load diffrent forms into the document. One of those request you can see here
$("#properties").load("testDiagramm.html #NoticeForm");
The problem is. that the codeline
$("input, textarea").change(showFormValues);
only fire, when the form was loaded at the beginning. What must I do, if i want to execute the function showFormValues(), when I changed something in the formular, which i load later?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Your form loses its binding to the DOM after it is reloaded via ajax, so event handlers previously bound to the elements that get injected into the page are lost.
I would normally suggest using event delegation with live, but it does not support the change event, so a safe bet would be to rebind using a callback as a second parameter to your $.load function:
$(function(){
[...]
$("#newNotice").click(function(){
$("#properties").load("testDiagramm.html #NoticeForm", function() {
$("input, textarea").change(showFormValues);
});
return false;
});
function showFormValues(){
var s = $("form").serialize();
[... Do things ...]
}
$("input, textarea").change(showFormValues);
});
