.keyup() on cloned input fields

I'm cloning input fields and then when I edit the cloned input field I'm trying to put the new values into an outside div as a text string. Thanks for your help in advance!
function cloneClue(target){
clueCount++;
var myClueField = $(target).prev().find('#textClue');
var myClone = myClueField.clone().attr('id','textClue' + clueCount);
var clueName = myClone.find('.clueName');
var clueContent = myClone.find('.clueContent');
var clueRemove = myClone.find('.clueRemove');
var clueNamePreview = myClone.find('.clueNamePreview');
var clueContentPreview = myClone.find('.clueContentPreview');
clueName.attr('name', "clueName" + clueCount);
clueName.attr('id', "clueName" + clueCount);
clueContent.attr('name', "clueContent" + clueCount);
clueContent.attr('id', "clueContent" + clueCount);
clueRemove.attr('id', "clueRemove" + clueCount)
clueNamePreview.attr('id', "clueNamePreview" + clueCount);
clueContentPreview.attr('id', "clueContentPreview" + clueCount);
clueRemove.click(function() {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
$('#clueField').append(myClone);
myClone.show();
}
var clueCount = 0;
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#addTextClue").click(function(){
cloneClue(this)
});
$('.clueName').keyup(function(){
var nameVal = $(this).val();
$(this).parent().find('.clueNamePreview').html(nameVal);
});
$('.clueContent').keyup(function(){
var contentVal = $(this).val();
$(this).parent().find('.clueContentPreview').html(contentVal);
});
});
Here's the jsfiddle

You need to use the .on for any element that is dynamically added to the DOM.
Change your jQuery to:
$(document).on("keyup", ".clueName", function() {
....
}
etc...

Your problem is that you define you keyup listeners in your document.ready function. at this point your cloned elements aren't in your DOM, so there aren't any Listeners attached to your clones. Just move this part of code right after you appended your input clone like this:

Store a selector in a variable Javascript and then use a method on it

I have check some others post, and document myself but I dont know what is the problem here.
I have 2 image (would like to have like 20 at the end) where you can click on an icon and show and hide and image in the webpage. If you click on image A it should show image A, if you click on image B image A should hide and image B should be sown.
var firsttime = 1;
var $lastletter;
$(function() {
$('#A').click(function() {
if (firsttime = 0){
$lastletter.toggle();
$('#AL').toggle();
$lastletter = $( '#AL' );
}
else
{
firsttime = 0;
$('#AL').toggle();
$lastletter = $( '#AL' );
}
});
});
$(function() {
$('#B').click(function() {
if (firsttime = 0){
$lastletter.toggle();
$('#BL').toggle();
$lastletter = $( '#BL' );
}
else
{
firsttime = 0;
$('#BL').toggle();
$lastletter = $( '#BL' );
}
});
});
This is the solution im using:
$(function() {
$('.imgLetter').click(function() {
if (lastletter != this.id) {
$('#' + lastletter + 'L').toggle();
lastletter=this.id;
}
$('#' + this.id + 'L').toggle();
});
});

Assuming you're conventionally assigning the "last letter" by appending an "L" to the ID: this could get a lot simpler. Decorate all of your #<x> elements with a class name that makes it easy to select all of them at once. I'm going to choose "letter".
I don't think you even need to track the "first time". It sounds like you just want one element to toggle another. That would look like:
$(function() {
$('.letter').click(function() {
$('#' + this.id + 'L').toggle();
});
});

Repeatable block functionlaity

I am trying to develop functionality for repeatable blocks within my web form, the issue being the buttons do nothing when I click them I have tested them in the console and they do work, they just dont do anything and am unsure why, been working on this for 2 days and am at a standstill, anyone who can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
It should generate the fields contained within that field set and generate a identical empty field set, and not sure whats wrong with the plus or minus functions.
$('input, fieldset').each(function(){
if ($(this).attr('data-maxOccurs') != 1){
$(plusMinusButtons).insertAfter(this);
}
});
$('.glyphicon-plus-sign').hover(function(){
$(this).addClass('green');
},
function(){
$(this).removeClass('green');
}
);
$('.glyphicon-minus-sign').hover(function(){
$(this).addClass('red');
},
function(){
$(this).removeClass('red');
}
);
$('body').on("click", '.glyphicon-plus-sign', function (){
prevInput = $(this).prev('input');
count = $(prevInput).attr('data-count');
countIncremented = count++;
br = '<br/><br/>';
inputElement = '<input type="'+$(prevInput).attr("type")+'" name="'+$(prevInput).attr("name")+countIncremented+'" data-count="'+countIncremented+'"/>';
$(br + inputElement + plusMinusButtons).insertAfter('.'+$(prevInput).attr("name")+':last');
}
);
$('body').on("click", '.glyphicon-minus-sign', function (){
prevInput = $(this).prev('input');
$(this).remove(prevInput).remove(this);
}
);
$("button").click(function(){
console.log("here");
x=$('#form').serializeArray();
$.each(x, function(i, field){
console.log(field.name + ":" + field.value + " ");
});
});
});
And here is the JSfiddle: Fiddle

The code Used in order to duplicate the field set.
$('body').on("click ", '.glyphicon-plus-sign', function() {
console.log("here ");
prevInput = $(this);
count = $(prevInput).attr('data-count=')||0;
countIncremented = count++;
br = '<br/><br/>';
$($(this).parent()).clone().insertAfter($(this).parent());

jQuery getting ID of clicked link

I have a modal box in jQuery which I have created to display some embed code. I want the script to take the id of the link that is clicked but I can't seem to get this working.
Does anyone know how I can do that or why this may be happening?
My jQuery code is:
function generateCode() {
var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id');
if($('#embed input[name="comments"]:checked').length > 0 == true) {
var comments = "&comments=1";
} else {
var comments = "";
}
$("#embedcode").html('<code><iframe src="embed.php?answerid=' + answerid + comments + '" width="550" height="' + $('#embed input[name="size"]').val() + '" frameborder="0"></iframe></code>');
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.openembed').click(function () {
generateCode();
var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id');
$('#box').show();
return false;
});
$('#embed').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation()
});
$(document).click(function () {
$('#box').hide()
});
});
My mark-up is:
Embed
Embed

Your problem is here:
$('.openembed')
returns an array of matched elements. Your should instead select only the clicked element.
$('.openembed') works correctly if you assing a click event to all elements that have this class. But on the other hand, you're unable do know which is clicked.
But fortunately in the body of handler function click you could call $(this).
$(this) will return the current (and clicked element).
// var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id'); // Wrong
var answerid = $(this).attr('id'); // Correct
// Now you can call generateCode
generateCode(answerid);
Another error is the body of generateCode function. Here you should pass the id of selected element. This is the correct implementation.
function generateCode(answerid) {
if($('#embed input[name="comments"]:checked').length > 0 == true) {
var comments = "&comments=1";
} else {
var comments = "";
}
$("#embedcode").html('<iframe src="embed.php?answerid=' + answerid + comments + '" width="550" height="' + $('#embed input[name="size"]').val() + '"frameborder="0"></iframe>');
}
Here I have implemented your code with the correct behavior: http://jsfiddle.net/pSZZF/2/

Instead of referencing the class, which will grab all members of that class, you need to reference $(this) so you can get that unique link when it is clicked.
var answerid = $(this).prop('id');

$('.openembed').click(function () {
generateCode();
var answerid = $(this).attr('id');
$('#box').show();
return false;
});
Use $(this). $('.openembed') refers to multiple links.

var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id');
needs to be
var answerid = $(this).prop('id');

The other answers are trying to fix the click() function, but your issue is actually with the generateCode function.
You need to pass the clicked element to the generateCode function:
$('.openembed').click(function () {
generateCode(this);
And modify generateCode:
function generateCode(element) {
var answerid = element.id;
Of course var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id'); within the click code isn't correct either, but it doesn't seem to do anything anyway.

Get the id when the correct anchor is clicked and pass it into your generateCode function
$('.openembed').click(function () {
var answerid = $(this).attr('id');
generateCode(answerid)
$('#box').show();
return false;
});
Change your function
function generateCode(answerid) {
// dont need this line anymore
// var answerid = $('.openembed').attr('id');

How to get jQuery placeholder/watermark plugin to work for ajax loaded text fields?

I'm using the following placeholder plugin
(function($){
var ph = "PLACEHOLDER-INPUT";
var phl = "PLACEHOLDER-LABEL";
var boundEvents = false;
var default_options = {
labelClass: 'placeholder'
};
//check for native support for placeholder attribute, if so stub methods and return
var input = document.createElement("input");
if ('placeholder' in input) {
$.fn.placeholder = $.fn.unplaceholder = function(){}; //empty function
delete input; //cleanup IE memory
return;
};
delete input;
//bind to resize to fix placeholders when the page resizes (fields are hidden/displayed, which can change positioning).
$(window).resize(checkResize);
$.fn.placeholder = function(options) {
bindEvents();
var opts = $.extend(default_options, options)
this.each(function(){
var rnd=Math.random().toString(32).replace(/\./,'')
,input=$(this)
,label=$('<label style="position:absolute;display:none;top:0;left:0;"></label>');
if (!input.attr('placeholder') || input.data(ph) === ph) return; //already watermarked
//make sure the input tag has an ID assigned, if not, assign one.
if (!input.attr('id')) input.attr('id', 'input_' + rnd);
label .attr('id',input.attr('id') + "_placeholder")
.data(ph, '#' + input.attr('id')) //reference to the input tag
.attr('for',input.attr('id'))
.addClass(opts.labelClass)
.addClass(opts.labelClass + '-for-' + this.tagName.toLowerCase()) //ex: watermark-for-textarea
.addClass(phl)
.text(input.attr('placeholder'));
input
.data(phl, '#' + label.attr('id')) //set a reference to the label
.data(ph,ph) //set that the field is watermarked
.addClass(ph) //add the watermark class
.after(label) //add the label field to the page
//setup overlay
itemFocus.call(this);
itemBlur.call(this);
});
};
$.fn.unplaceholder = function(){
this.each(function(){
var input=$(this),
label=$(input.data(phl));
if (input.data(ph) !== ph) return;
label.remove();
input.removeData(ph).removeData(phl).removeClass(ph).unbind('change',itemChange);
});
};
function bindEvents() {
if (boundEvents) return;
//prepare live bindings if not already done.
$("form").live('reset', function(){
$(this).find('.' + ph).each(itemBlur);
});
$('.' + ph)
.live('keydown',itemFocus)
.live('mousedown',itemFocus)
.live('mouseup',itemFocus)
.live('mouseclick',itemFocus)
.live('focus',itemFocus)
.live('focusin',itemFocus)
.live('blur',itemBlur)
.live('focusout',itemBlur)
.live('change',itemChange);
;
$('.' + phl)
.live('click', function() { $($(this).data(ph)).focus(); })
.live('mouseup', function() { $($(this).data(ph)).focus(); });
bound = true;
boundEvents = true;
};
function itemChange() {
var input = $(this);
if (!!input.val()) {
$(input.data(phl)).hide();
return;
}
if (input.data(ph+'FOCUSED') != 1) {
showPHL(input);
}
}
function itemFocus() {
$($(this).data(ph+'FOCUSED',1).data(phl)).hide();
};
function itemBlur() {
var that = this;
showPHL($(this).removeData(ph+'FOCUSED'));
//use timeout to let other validators/formatters directly bound to blur/focusout work
setTimeout(function(){
var input = $(that);
//if the item wasn't refocused, test the item
if (input.data(ph+'FOCUSED') != 1) {
showPHL(input);
}
}, 200);
};
function showPHL(input, forced) {
var label = $(input.data(phl));
//if not already shown, and needs to be, show it.
if ((forced || label.css('display') == 'none') && !input.val())
label
.text(input.attr('placeholder'))
.css('top', input.position().top + 'px')
.css('left', input.position().left + 'px')
.css('display', 'block');
//console.dir({ 'input': { 'id':input.attr('id'), 'pos': input.position() }});
}
var cr;
function checkResize() {
if (cr) window.clearTimeout(cr);
cr = window.setTimeout(checkResize2, 50);
}
function checkResize2() {
$('.' + ph).each(function(){
var input = $(this);
var focused = $(this).data(ph+'FOCUSED');
if (!focused) showPHL(input, true);
});
}
}(jQuery));
It applies the placeholder attribute to form fields in browsers that do not natively support the placeholder attribute (ex. IE9). It works for statically loaded text fields, however for text fields that are loaded via ajax, the placeholder does not appear.
Is it possible to achieve this 'watermark' effect on text fields that are loaded via ajax?

What happens if you trigger the window resize function after adding in new inputs?
$(window).trigger('resize')

You could apply the plugin to newly created controls after the AJAX call completes. Forgive the pseudo-code as I'm not really sure about how your AJAX calls are working:
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
cache: false
}).done(function( result ) {
field = $('<input>').html(result);
$("#results").append(field);
field.placeholder();
});
Another option is that you could use jQuery's .on() method to bind dynamically created controls to the function--but it wants an event (like click). I'm not sure how you would do that. Maybe something like this:
$( 'body' ).on('click','input.addField', function(e){
$(this).placeholder();
});
I know this won't work, but maybe it helps get you brainstorm solutions.
