i need to trigger only one click on specific element that can be on page load time or added dynamically in the future. Some code
This code work just fine for elements that are rendered on load time but wont bind the click event to new elements dynamically added
$(".message-actions .accept").one("click", function(e){
console.log("accept");
});
In the other hand if i do it this way, it will bind the event to new elements but don't unbind the event so if i click it again it will print the same console log
$("body").on("click", ".message-actions .accept", function(e){
console.log("decline");
$(this).unbind("click");
});
At last if i do it in this other way it will only fire the event in the first element i click even if there is more than one loaded or added after.
$("body").one("click", ".message-actions .accept", function(e){
console.log("decline");
});
How can i do this?
Thanks
You can add data to the element that remembers whether the handler has run before:
$("body").on("click", ".message-actions .accept", function() {
if (!$(this).data("run-once")) {
console.log("decline");
$(this).data("run-once", true); // Remember that we ran already on this element
}
});
I would do it this way:
var handleClick = function () {
// do your work
alert("decline");
// unbind
$("body").off("click", ".message-actions .accept", handleClick);
};
$("body").on("click", ".message-actions .accept", handleClick);
Check this fiddle
You can solve it like this, if it suits your situation : http://jsfiddle.net/hu4fp5qs/1/
$("body").on("click",".message-actions .accept",function(){
$(this).removeClass("accept").addClass("decline");
alert("Declined");
});
On click remove class accept and add class decline.
This will help you in styling both the cases differently so that you can distinguish between them.
.accept{
background-color:green;
}
.decline{
background-color:red;
}

I just started to learn js and need a little help: I have the following function:
//SET CHAT BEHAVIOR
function chatSettings() {
console.log('ChatSettings called')
function BtnAndScrollBar(texteditor) {
console.log('BTNAndScrollBar called');
const sendBtn = $('.cl.active').find('.sendBtn');
const attachBtn = $('.cl.active').find('.attachBtn');
console.log(sendBtn)
}
function sendAndDeleteMessage(send) {
console.log(send);
}
var sendBtn = $('.cl.active').find('.sendBtn');
sendBtn.mousedown(function () {
sendAndDeleteMessage(this);
});
var textEditor1 = $('.cl.active').find('.chatTextarea');
textEditor1.on('focus change mousedown mouseout keyup mouseup', function (){
console.log(this);
BtnAndScrollBar(this)
});
}
$('document').ready(function () {
console.log('hello');
$('.tabs').tabs();
chatSettings();
});
I prepared a js.fiddle - As you can see from console.log when clicking into the textarea, the eventListener always listens to #cl1, even if .cl.active switches along with the according TAB.
The events in the textarea are just relevant, if .cl is active. My target is to wrap all three eventListener into one and apply the event to the textarea in the active stream, but all I tried went wrong... Can anyone help? #Dontrepeatyourself #DRY
$(".chatTextarea").on(
'focus change mousedown mouseout keyup mouseup',
function (this) {
//this.id can contain the unique id
greatFunction(this);
});
This will bind event individually with unique id found with this keyword and also wraps all event listener into one function but this is better when you want to process each event with same functionality
please let me know if this helps.
Peace
$(".cl textarea").on('focus change mousedown mouseout keyup mouseup', function () {
greatFunction(this)
});
Tada!
P.S. Is there a reason greatFunction is defined inside window.onload?
Try using $(document).ready function to load code when the page loads.
Also use $('textarea #cl1').on to get the textarea with the #cl1 or whichever id you want to use and then call the function after using the .on.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if it works!
$(document).ready(function () {
function greatFunction(elem) {
//do stuff
}
$('textarea').on('focus change mousedown mouseout keyup mouseup', function () {
greatFunction(this)
});
}
First off, I changed the onload to bind with jQuery, so all your logic is doing jQuery bindings, rather than swapping back and forth between jQuery and vanilla javascript. Also, doing an actual binding removes an inline binding.
Next, the binding has been condensed into a single delegate event listener. Since you eluded in your comments that it wasn't working for the active element after the active was moved or added, this reflected that you were dealing with dynamic elements. Delegate event listeners are one way to handle such things.
Delegate event listeners bind on a parent element of the elements that will change, or be created. It then waits for an event to happen on one of it's children. When it gets an event it is listening for, it then checks to see if the element that it originated from matches the child selector (second argument) for the listener. If it does match, it will then process the event for the child element.
Lastly, I added some buttons to swap around the active class, so you could see in the snippet that the event handler will start working for any element that you make active, regardless of it starting out that way.
$(window).on('load', function () {
function greatFunction (elem) {
console.log(elem.value);
}
$(document.body).on(
'focus change mousedown mouseout keyup mouseup',
'.cl.active .chatTextarea',
function () {
greatFunction(this);
}
);
$('.makeActive').on('click', function () {
$('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).closest('div').addClass('active');
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="cl1" class="cl active"><textarea class="chatTextarea">aa</textarea><button class="makeActive">Make Active</button></div>
<div id="cl2" class="cl"><textarea class="chatTextarea">bb</textarea><button class="makeActive">Make Active</button></div>
<div id="cl3" class="cl"><textarea class="chatTextarea">cc</textarea><button class="makeActive">Make Active</button></div>
I was wondering if Javascript or jQuery have a way to delete an event listener. Let's say I want to make a function that I want to trigger only once, for example let's say I want to have a button that shows some hidden elements on the document, I would make this function (assuming the hidden elements have a hidden class that hides them):
jQuery('#toggler').click(function() {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
});
Simple enough, right ? Now, my actual problem comes in, I don't want jquery to run that function again and again each time the button is clicked, because the elements are already revealed, so is there a clean way to do it ? So, in this example after clicking the toggler multiple times I want to get only one console message.
I could do jQuery(this).unbind('click'), but this results into removing ALL triggers and I only want to remove the current trigger.
What I usually do when I face such scenarios is solve it like this (which is ugly and doesn't actually prevent code execution, but only handles the code's results) :
var toggler_clicked = false;
jQuery('#toggler').click(function() {
if(toggler_clicked) return;
toggler_clicked = true;
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
});
Also I don't want to use jQuery's one, because I will have the same problem when I'll need to delete the trigger conditionally, so if you can help please give me a dynamic answer.
Thanks in advance !
You have to name your function like that:
var myFunction = function() {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
};
And bind it this way
jQuery('#toggler').click(myFunction);
Then you can unbind it with :
jQuery('#toggler').off('click',myFunction);
Without unbinding the other listeners
You can try this:
var myFunc = function() {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
jQuery(this).unbind('click', myFunc);
};
jQuery('#toggler').click(myFunc);
This way of calling unbind is such that only the listener for myFunc handler is removed and not all the events connected to the click on the toggler.
I would use the .on() and its opposite .off() methods to attach/detach the event handler. It is the recommended way since 1.7 instead of the .bind() and .unbind() versions that became deprecated as of jQuery 3.0.
$("#toggler").on("click", function(event) {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
$('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
// if (/* Add your condition here */) {
$(this).off(event);
// }
});
$("#toggler").on("click", function(event) {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
$('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
// if (/* Add your condition here */) {
$(this).off(event);
// }
});
.hidden {
display: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="toggler">Toggle</button>
<div class="hidden">
HIDDEN
</div>
Try this
var myFunction = function() {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
};
Add the event listener like this:
jQuery('#toggler').addEventListener("click", myFunction);
And remove it like this:
jQuery('#toggler').removeEventListener("click", myFunction);
So all together this will do the trick:
var myFunction = function() {
console.log('Hidden elements are now shown');
jQuery('.hidden').removeClass('hidden');
jQuery('#toggler').removeEventListener("click", myFunction);
};
jQuery('#toggler').addEventListener("click", myFunction);
more about the HTML DOM removeEventListener() Method
Jquery unbind function takes 2 parameters eventType and handler
You can put your event listener into separate function like this:
var clickEventHandler = function(){
//your logic goes here
}
After you add listener as reference:
jQuery('#toggler').click(clickEventHandler);
And then, later, anytime, anywhere you want you can unbind that specific handler:
jQuery('#toggler').unbind('click', clickEventHandler);
What i used to do in the past is toggle the click behavior using css classes, ex i used to set a click listener on the parent and delegate to all of the children something that jquery is doing now by default i believe. Anyway based on the css class it will trigger an event for ex.
$('.some-parent-element').on(
'click',
'the-behavior-css-class',
function() { // do stuff here.... }
)
Now if you want to remove this behavior you can just toggle the class of the element and it should do the job. ex
$('.some-parent-element').on(
'click',
'hide-me-on-click-or-whatever',
function() {
$(this).toggleClass('hide-me-on-click-or-whatever')
// perform the action
}
)
You can check if the element has the class hidden
In framework7, how to add click event on dynamic elements?
If I add my element first on my view, the click event works fine like below:
<div class="test">Click Me</div>
$$('.test').on('click', function () {
myApp.alert("Gotcha!");
});
But if I have dynamic elements, especially elements dynamically added to virtual-list, I cannot make the click event to work. What is the right way to do this?
I even tried inline function, ex: <div class="test" onclick="myFunction();">Click Me</div>, still this won't work.
You can use:
// Live/delegated event handler
$$(document).on('click', 'a', function (e) {
console.log('link clicked');
});
For your case:
$$(document).on('click', '.test', function(e){
console.log('Some code...');
});
Here is docs. Scroll until events section.
Use this for dinamically added elements:
$$(document).on('click', '.test', function () {
myApp.alert("Gotcha!");
});
All answers are good to go with. But if you are using this class 'test' for other elements of the page, you will end up firing some extra click event(when you click on any other element of same class). So if you wanna prevent that, you should add listener to that particular element.
if you're adding an element of class test to an existing element of id testId, then use
$('#testId').on('click', '.test', function(this){
}
In the function where you dynamically add the new elements you have to assign an event handler for them.
Lets say you have a function something like this
function addNewLines(){
//add the new lines here
// you have to run this again
$$('.test').on('click', function () {
myApp.alert("Gotcha!");
});
}
I have a button and when it is clicked it should add a class to the HTML element, but then when the .class is clicked, it isn't detected.
This is the use case:
Click button - "testerclass" will be added to HTML element
Click "testerclass" - removes that class from that element
The detection for when "testerclass" is clicked only seems to work when the class exists before the page load, not when I add the class manually after load. Is this something to do with the problem?
I have tried to recreate the problem on jsfiddle, but I can't recreate the use case where the class is already added to the HTML element, as I can't edit that on jsfiddle.
But here is jsfiddle one, In this one you can see that the buttonone adds a class to HTML, but the detection for clicks on .testerclass never come through.
And here is jsfiddle two. In this one, I have changed the .testerclass selector to html, and this shows that HTML clicks are bubbling through (which I was unsure of when I first hit this problem).
And offline I created a third testcase where the HTML element already had the testerclass, and it detected the clicks sent through to it.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button.1').click(function() {
$('html').addClass('testerclass');
$('.test').append('"testerclass" added to html<br />');
});
$('.testerclass').click(function() {
$('.test').append('testerclass clicked and removed<br />');
$('html').removeClass('testerclass');
});
});
Edit: I also tried doing this with a slightly different method of:
$('html').click(function() {
if(this).hasClass('testerclass') {
//do stuff
}
});
but that didn’t work either.
Since the testerclass is dynamic, you need to use event delegation to handle events based on that. Which will require us to register the event handler to the document object that causes another problem because the click event from the button will get propagated to the document object which will trigger the testerclass click handler as well. To prevent this from happening you can stop the event propagation from the button.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('button.1').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$('html').addClass('testerclass');
$('.test').append('"testerclass" added to html<br />');
});
$(document).on('click', '.testerclass', function () {
$('.test').append('testerclass clicked and removed<br />');
$('html').removeClass('testerclass');
});
});
Demo: Fiddle
You need to stop the propagation to the html so the other click handler does not pick it up.
$('button.1').on("click", function(evt) {
$('html').addClass('testerclass');
$('.test').append('"testerclass" added to html<br />');
evt.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).on("click", function() {
$('.test').append('testerclass clicked and removed<br />');
$('html').removeClass('testerclass');
});
Other option would be to add one event handler and use the event target to see if it is the button or not and change the content that way.
$(document).on("click", function (evt) {
var isButton = $(evt.target).is(".btn");
var message = isButton ? '<p>"testerclass" added to html</p>' : '<p>"testerclass" clicked and removed</p>'
$('html').toggleClass('testerclass', isButton);
$(".test").append(message);
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/69scv/
here's a neat way to do it
$('html').on('click', function(e) {
var state = !!$(e.target).closest('button.1').length;
var msg = state ? 'class added' : 'class removed';
$(this).toggleClass('testerclass', state);
$('.test').append(msg + '<br>');
});
FIDDLE
You add a class to html element, so when this class is clicked, it means the html element is click. Now the problem is when you click any where in page, it will remove this class away from html! Let try add this class to body element instead.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button.1').click(function() {
$('body').addClass('testerclass');
$('.test').append('"testerclass" added to html<br />');
});
$('.testerclass').click(function() {
$('.test').append('testerclass clicked and removed<br />');
$('body').removeClass('testerclass');
});
});
And now you can check it:
$('html').click(function() {
if(this).hasClass('testerclass') {
//do stuff
}
});
lets say I have
function trigger(){
$('a.pep').each(function(){
$('a.pep').click(function(){
console.log($(this).val());
});
});
}
function push(){
$('body').append('<a class="pep">hey mate i have no trigger yet</a>');
trigger(); //now i do but the others have duplicated trigger
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a.push').click(function(){
push();
});
});
So it seems that the click event is being applied twice/+ because the console.log is lauched more than once by click
How can i prevent this?
The problem is that you call $('a.pep').click() lots of times. (In fact, you bind as many click handlers as there are matching elements to each element. And then you do it again every time one of them is clicked.)
You should lever the DOM event bubbling model to handle this. jQuery helps you with the on method:
$(document.body).on('click', 'a.pep', function() {
console.log('element clicked');
$(document.body).append('<a class="pep">Click handlers handled automatically</a>');
});
See a working jsFiddle.
Note that I have removed the val call, because a elements can't have a value... Note also that the on method is introduced in jQuery 1.7; before that, use delegate:
$(document.body).delegate('a.pep', 'click', function() {
Small change to your trigger function is all you need. Just unbind the click event before binding to ensure that it is never added more than once. Also, you don't need to use each when binding events, it will add the event to each item automatically.
function trigger(){
$('a.pep').unbind('click').click(function() {
console.log($(this).val());
});
}
You can check using data('events') on any element if the required event is attached or not. For example to check if click event is attached or not try this.
if(!$('a.pep').data('events').click){
$('a.pep').click(function(){
console.log($(this).val());
});
}
you should use jQuery live here because you add DOM elements dynamicly and you want them to have the same click behaviour
function push(){
$('body').append('<a class="pep">hey mate i have no trigger yet</a>');
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a.push').click(function(){
push();
});
$('a.pep').live('click', function(){
console.log($(this).val());
});
});
Try:
if($('a.pep').data('events').click) {
//do something
}
i think if you use live() event you dont need to make function
$('a.pep').live('click', function(){
console.log($(this).val());
});
