Plugin opens only after two clicks

I have a custom made tooltip plugin which should be opened by another plugin. But the plugin opens only after the second click and I can't figure out what the problem is.
The whole thing can be tested under. You have to click on the second input Field.
https://codepen.io/magic77/pen/XWMeqrM
$.fn.packstationFinder = function (options) {
var settings = $.extend({
event: 'click.packstationFinder'
}, options);
this.bind(settings.event, function (e) {
if ($postalCode.val() === '') {
$('#packstation-number').tooltip();
return;
}
});
return this;
};
$('[rel~=packstationFinder]').packstationFinder();

I've checked the code in Codepen. The problem here is because in packstationFinder() you call the tooltip() function for the element. But as you can see inside the tooltip() you just bind the click event on the element and not trigger it. So by current code with a first click on the element (#packstation-number) you just bind the click event and really trigger the tooltip only by the second click. You can see that it work as it should by moving out the calling of tooltip() function from packstationFinder() and call it directly as in the code below:
$.fn.packstationFinder = function (options) {
var settings = $.extend({
event: 'click.packstationFinder'
}, options);
return this;
};
$('[rel~=packstationFinder]').packstationFinder();
$('#packstation-number').tooltip();

Javascript function is not working sometimes at certain level

I have this Javascript function for hover items. İt has to work under 958px but its not working. so how can I control that.
But when I resize page up and down, JS stops working.
What's wrong with my function? I am unable to figure it out.
$(document).ready(() => {
if ($(window).width() >958){
$('#group-subscription .owl-item').on('mouseenter', function(){
$(this).nextAll().addClass('has-positive-translate')
$(this).prevAll().addClass('has-negative-translate')
}).on('mouseleave', function() {
removeHasClasses()
})
function removeHasClasses() {
$('#group-subscription .owl-item').removeClass('has-negative-translate has-positive-translate slider-hover-bigger')
}
}
})

Your code is not related to resizing event, it only one time execute when a page is loaded and it is ready, All in all, you should use resize event instead of the ready event.
$(window).on('resize', function(){
var winx = $(this);
if (winx.height() >= 958) {
/* use your code here */
}
});

Prevent duplcate ajaxLoad event calls added with a click event

I am using MVC Razor - The overall goal is to create a "print view" pop-up page.
The print view button is on the parent page, when clicked, an ajax event is fired which will populate an empty div with the contents that are to be included in the print preview:
//from the view
#Ajax.ActionLink("prntPreview", "Display", new { ID = Model.Detail.ID }, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "modal" }, new { #class = "btnPreview" })
then, using JavasScript/jQuery I clone the contents of that newly populated div and create a new window with the contents:
//in the scripts file
$('.btnPreview').on('click', function () {
$(document).ajaxStop(function () {
var pageData = $('#modal').html();
setTimeout( //add a slight delay
function () {
PopupPrint(pageData);
}, 300);
});
});
function PopupPrint(data) {
var mywindow = window.open('', '', 'height=500,width=800,resizable,scrollbars');
mywindow.document.write(data);
mywindow.focus();
//do some other stuff here
}
This is where I run into difficulty. The first time I click, everything is working as expected - however, if you do not navigate away from the parent page and try to use the print preview button a second time, the popup will be created twice, then three times etc. with each additional click.
I think that the problem is because each time the .btnPreview is clicked, a new $(document).ajaxStop event is being created, causing the event to fire multiple times.
I have tried to create the ajaxStop as a named function which is declared outside the scope of the click event and then clear it but this produces the same result:
var evnt = "";
$('.btnPreview').on('click', function () {
evnt =
$(document).ajaxStop(function () {
var pageData = $('#modal').html();
setTimeout( //add a slight delay
function () {
PopupPrint(pageData);
evnt = "";
}, 300);
});
});
I also have other ajaxStop events initialised so don't want to completely unbind the ajaxStop event. Is it possible to get the name or something from each ajax event so that I can clear just that event or similar?

You can prevent adding additional triggers by checking with a variable outside of scope like this:
(function() {
var alreadyAdded = false;
$('.btnPreview').on('click', function() {
if (!alreadyAdded) {
$('.eventTrigger').click(function() {
console.log('printing!');
});
alreadyAdded = true;
}
});
})();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="btnPreview">Add Event</button>
<button class="eventTrigger">Trigger</button>
Please note that the variable and function are encapsulated in a self-executing anonymous function and do not pollute global space.
The output of the sample can be seen in the developer console. If you remove the if-check then every click on the "Add Event" button produces an additional print statement on the "Trigger" button each time it is clicked (which is your problem). With the if, there will ever only be one event on the trigger button.

There were 2 issues which I needed to address.
The answer is to unbind the ajax event after it has checked that the request had completed and to unbind and reattach the button click trigger.
This is how I did it:
//in the scripts file
$('.btnPreview').off('click').on('click', function () {
$(document).ajaxComplete(function (e) {
var pageData = $('#modal').html();
setTimeout( //add a slight delay
function () {
PopupPrint(pageData);
}, 300);
$(this).off(e);
});
});
I unbound the click event by adding .off('click') before the .on. this is what stopped it popping up multiple times.
The other issue was that anytime any ajax event completed (triggered by something else) that would also create the popup - to get around that, I added $(this).unbind(e); to the end of the code block which removed the ajaxComplete binding which was being triggered each time any ajax event completed.

stop and later persue javascript event in jquery ui modal dialog

I want to stop an event show a modal dialog and if the user presses yes persue this event. event.run() brings an error in firefox.
jQuery(element).click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
dialog.dialog({
buttons: {
'Ja': function() {
event.run();
},
'Nein': function() {
jQuery(this).dialog('close');
}
}
}).dialog('open');
});
Thanks to a friend and hashbrown I managed to solve this problem. An event cannot be paused and persued. If it is paused it will block the whole DOM. Try:
jQuery(link).click(function(){while(true)});
When using jQuery its possible to set additional event parameters what I did:
jQuery(element).click(function(event, show_dialog) {
var that = jQuery(this);
if(!show_dialog) {
dialog.dialog({
buttons: {
'Yes': function() {
that.trigger(event.type, [true]);
},
'No': function() {
jQuery(this).dialog('close');
}
}
}).dialog('open');
return false;
} else {
dialog.dialog('close');
return true;
}
});
First click show_dialog is undefined and modal dialog is shown. Clicking on Yes in modal dialog triggers the event.type (click) with the additional parameter true for show_dialog. http://api.jquery.com/trigger/#trigger-eventType-extraParameters
It was not possible to that.trigger(event, [true]);. I think cause events default action was prevented before.

That is because immediately after creating the popup the function returns and the event expires.
What you'll have to do is .trigger() a new event.
Note: set some sort of global variable to ignore this second event firing in your anonymous function (infinite loop problem).
Can I ask why you want to do this; what would click go off and do if you let it?
If it just fires off a different function, why not just call that function instead of attempting event.run()?

Suspend Default Event in jQuery

I am trying to delay the default event or events in a jQuery script. The context is that I want to display a message to users when they perform certain actions (click primarily) for a few seconds before the default action fires.
Pseudo-code:
- User clicks link/button/element
- User gets a popup message stating 'You are leaving site'
- Message remains on screen for X milliseconds
- Default action (can be other than href link too) fires
So far, my attempts look like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
var orgE = $("a").click();
$("a").click(function(event) {
var orgEvent = event;
event.preventDefault();
// Do stuff
doStuff(this);
setTimeout(function() {
// Hide message
hideMessage();
$(this).trigger(orgEvent);
}, 1000);
});
});
Of course, this doesn't work as expected, but may show what I'm trying to do.
I am unable to use plugins as ths is a hosted environment with no online access.
Any ideas?

I would probably do something like this.
$("a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
doStuff(this);
var url = $(this).attr("href");
setTimeout(function() {
hideMessage();
window.location = url;
}, 1000);
});
I'm not sure if url can be seen from inside the timed function. If not, you may need to declare it outside the click handler.
Edit: If you need to trigger the event from the timed function, you could use something similar to what karim79 suggested, although I'd make a few changes.
$(document).ready(function() {
var slept = false;
$("a").click(function(event) {
if(!slept) {
event.preventDefault();
doStuff(this);
var $element = $(this);
// allows us to access this object from inside the function
setTimeout(function() {
hideMessage();
slept = true;
$element.click(); //triggers the click event with slept = true
}, 1000);
// if we triggered the click event here, it would loop through
// this function recursively until slept was false. we don't want that.
} else {
slept = false; //re-initialize
}
});
});
Edit: After some testing and research, I'm not sure that it's actually possible to trigger the original click event of an <a> element. It appears to be possible for any element other than <a>.

Something like this should do the trick. Add a new class (presumably with a more sensible name than the one I've chosen) to all the links you want to be affected. Remove that class when you've shown your popup, so when you call .click() again your code will no longer run, and the default behavior will occur.
$("a").addClass("fancy-schmancy-popup-thing-not-yet-shown").click(function() {
if ($(this).hasClass("fancy-schmancy-popup-thing-not-yet-shown"))
return true;
doStuff();
$(this).removeClass("fancy-schmancy-popup-thing-not-yet-shown");
var link = this;
setTimeout(function() {
hideMessage();
$(link).click().addClass("fancy-schmancy-popup-thing-not-yet-shown";
}, 1000);
return false;
});

Probably the best way to do this is to use unbind. Something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// Do stuff
this.unbind(event).click();
});
})

This might work:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
doStuff(this);
setTimeout(function() {
hideMessage();
$(this).click();
}, 1000);
});
});
