I am trying to remove the start upload button until files are added to the queue, so far I have this code...
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(CheckTables, 100);
function CheckTables() {
$("table").each(function (index) {
$(this).find('tbody:not(:empty)').parent().show();
$(this).find('tbody:empty').parent().hide();
});
}
</script>
With this code tbody is hidden until files are added but my start upload button, #form-button, is still displayed. I have tried the following...
if($.trim($("tbody:empty")
$("#form-button").hide();
Hope someone can help with this.
HTML:
<button id="form-button" style="margin-bottom:40px" type="submit" class="start">Start upload</button>
<div id="fileListingWrapper" class="fileListingWrapper hidden">
<div class="fileSection">
<table id="upload-table" style="border:1px solid #007FFF;display:none;margin-bottom:10px;border-radius:2px;-moz-border-radius:2px;-webkit-border-radius:2px" id="files" class="files" width="100%"><tbody></tbody></table>
</div>
</div>
I think you may have a bit of a syntactical error in the code to hide your submit button (missing multiple parentheses at the end of your if condition). Anyways, here are two approaches you could use for selectively hiding the submit button:
if (($("tbody").is(":empty")))
$("#form-button").hide();
Here's a JSFiddle demonstrating the code in use. Try adding stuff (well, valid stuff, like a <tr>) inside the <tbody>, and the submit button should reappear.
If whitespace is a concern, and you want to ignore it as well, consider using this instead:
if (($.trim($("tbody").html()) == ""))
$("#form-button").hide();
Here too, is a JSFiddle to show you the code working.
Regardless of which way you take this approach, if you want the button to show again if there is content in the <tbody>, make sure you add the code to do so:
else
$("#form-button").show();
Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
This works (demo)
if($("table tbody").html() == "")
{
$("#form-button").hide();
}

I've spent enough hours googling this to feel comfortable posting this- even though i'm sure it's a simple solution. I'm just getting into a webdev so pardon my ignorance. As the title says i'm simply trying to have the content of an HTML file appear in a div after a button is pressed. Here is my code:
HTML:
<button id="button" class="linkGeneration">Press me</button>
<div id="renderArea" class="contentArea">
<!-- CONTENT SHOULD GENERATE HERE -->
</div>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#renderArea").load($(this).attr('../html/content.html'));
});
});
I'm not getting any errors, the button simply does nothing. I do have Jquery properly applied in my HTML as well.
Any suggestions on how to fix this OR a different method that might be simpler? Thanks.
The button doesn't have an attribute named ../html/content.html, so $(this).attr('../html/content.html') is not returning anything.
If you want to load from the URL, just use that as the argument to .load(), you don't need .attr().
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#renderArea").load('../html/content.html');
});
});
So far I only have the code that is able to make 2 boxes, made the 4 buttons, but only 1 button actually does something, and that is the start button where a there is a popup that asks for a name, and after you input that name, it will appear in the first box.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function myTask1() {
var sentence = prompt("Please enter a name");
var arrSentence = sentence.split(" ");
if (arrSentence != null) {
document.getElementById("answer1").innerHTML = arrSentence.sort(); //so we can use Array.sort() function
}
console.log(sentence);
return sentence;
}
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById()
}
</script>
<style> </style>
</head>
<body>
<p><button type="button" onclick="myTask1()">Click me!</button></p>
<button type="button" onclick="ClearFields();">Clear</button>
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()"> --> </button>
<button type="button" onclick="myTask4()"><-- </button>
<div clas="box" style="background-color:red; height:200px; margin:20px auto;">
<center>
<p id="answer1"></p>
<center>
</div>
<div class="box1" style="background-color:grey; height:200px; margin:20px auto;"> </div>
</body>
</html>
I've made some demo code for you. I assume that you're a beginner because the question is basic. This is not a problem though, starting something new is great. You can find the answer on the internet and the best programmers are often people who are good with Google. But I hope by showing you the solution anyway you get a feeling for structure. Try to understand every line. Try write it from scratch afterwards anyway. It's a great exercise.
Code: https://github.com/Bunpasi/stackoverflow-answers/blob/master/js-listbox-selector/index.html
Some things to notice:
- I've put the script in the footer so it doesn't interfere with the loading time of the page.
- I've put all code in an anonymous function to avoid global functions.
- I changed clas to class.
- I've used event listeners instead of even attributes.
- I didn't duplicate the logic for both boxes but used one function which I can use on both.
After your understand the code, there are some things you can improve on this code.
- Make sure the selection doesn't go away after the update. You can store this in the data as well. Right now the data is an array of ID's, but you can turn it into an array of objects containing even more important data, like whether it's selected.
- Move the style from the elements to the header.
Don't be discouraged by down votes.
Good luck!
Update
If you want to move all names all the time. This is what you need to do.
This line looks for all selected elements:
var selectedElements = boxes[fromId].querySelectorAll('.list_item.selected');
Remove the selected .selector:
var selectedElements = boxes[fromId].querySelectorAll('.list_item');
I need to create a simple button made only of an image, and which will open a JQuery Dialog when the user clicks on it.
I am doing some reading and notice many solutions: <button>, <image> with a <a>, using CSS to modify a button background, etc...
This is confusing, what is the proper way to implement my image button?
Thanks.
P.S.: The button/image should be focussable. An operational JSFiddle example is welcome.
The proper way largely depends on what the button will do if JavaScript is not available.
If you are going to submit a form then:
<button> <img src="..." alt="..."> </button>
If you are going to go to a URL then:
<img src="..." alt="...">
If you are going to do absolutely nothing (generally not a good idea, you should follow the principles of Progressive Enhancement and Unobtrusive JavaScript, but acceptable if you only generate the button with JavaScript in the first place and the loss to the user is convenience rather then essential functionality):
<button type="button"> <img src="..." alt="..."> </button>
You then bind the JavaScript to either the form's submit event, or the button/anchor's click event and prevent the default behaviour so the form won't be submitted / the link won't be followed if the JavaScript executes successfully.
Create a button and put background-image for it.
Checkout the fiddle.

I found the solution after many struggles: http://jsfiddle.net/YRY8M/3/.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<input type="image" tabindex="0" onclick="doSomething()" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/White_and_yellow_flower.JPG/320px-White_and_yellow_flower.JPG"
/>
<br />
<button tabindex="1">I am focussable too !!!</button>
</body>
</html>
And some javascript:
function doSomething() {
alert('Hello!');
}
It depends on what you want to do in every case. There is no guideline that says "you should do it like this", but there are situations that some cases are more suitable than others.
For example according to this review, IE versions of 8 and below have some buggy behaviour regarding <button> tag when trying to use it as a submit button.
Ηowever the <button> has some new attributes added in HTML5 which you can see here , ammong them is autofocus and other useful that will be supported by most modern major browsers.
In your case that you want to maintain the "focus" (i assume with tabbing support), if you use a single <image> as a button (with or without <a>), you will have to add some JS code to make the image focusable when the appropriate tab is pressed. So you will have to write a bit more code to do the same thing.
There is one more solution which might be suitable for you, since you do not need to submit the form to server side. Using the <input type="image" type and defining the src attribute inside it, will be focusable and not require neither any JS code to run nor any difficult CSS. You can find more about it's syntax here
So, it ends up to you to decide which one of all them to use.
I would use the one that i find more flexible, easier for me to code, easily reusable and is supported by most of my target browsers.
Use jQuery as you own it...
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#theBtn{
margin: 20% auto 0;
background: url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/White_and_yellow_flower.JPG/320px-White_and_yellow_flower.JPG');
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="theBtn"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#theBtn").click(function(){
if(confirm('Are you sure?')){
$("#theBtn").fadeOut('slow');
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Inside a <button> tag , put your image, and attach an click event to <button> to open the dialog on click.
JSFiddle
First thing, There is either an image or a button. But not both.
I would say, create an image and place your code in the onclick() function of that image.
var img= $("#my-image-id");
image.click(function() {
// your code here
}
As I know You can't change the look of the Safari buttons thats why I suggest to use a for the solution. Here is my simple code: http://jsfiddle.net/djgBK/1/
The basis is:
Take an a element put the link content to the left,
Then replace it with image that is actualy it's background. Becouse it's a element user can select it usin only TAB button.
What's more using an a elemet will let You to put title which will be displayed after hovering/entering over the button.
I have a problem on the following code, imagine the rest is okay (html, head, body etc)
What I want to do is, when you click on one of the buttons the hidden text/images in the section show or hide, the code does that just fine. The problem is I also want it to take you to an anchor in that newly appeared section when you click on the button, and I cant seem to do that.
Here's the code on the HTML
<h2 class="especial">TITLE</h2>
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage2.png" onclick="show_section2();">Section2</p>
<hr>
<div id="Section1" style="display:none">
<a id="Section1_anchor"><h2 class="especial">Sect1TittleHere</h2></a>
<p class="interior">Blablah this is the content of section1</p>
</div>
<div id="Section2" style="display:none">
<a id="Section2_anchor"><h2 class="especial">Sect2TittleHere</h2></a>
<p class="interior">Blablah content of section2</p>
</div>
And here's the JS function that controls the onclick event, I have one for each section, but they are all the same.
<script language='javascript'>
//Variables
var sect1_guardian=0, sect2_guardian=0, sect3_guardian=0;
function show_sect1(){
if (sect1_guardian == 0) { document.getElementById("Section1").style.display="block";
sect1_guardian=1;
//Close the other sections if opened
document.getElementById("Section2").style.display="none";
document.getElementById("Section3").style.display="none";
//Reset guardians
sect2_guardian=0;
sect3_guardian=0;
}
else {
document.getElementById("Section1").style.display="none";
sect1_guardian=0;
}
}
Where and how should I add the link to the anchor? If i tried adding it to the button tag and the onclick event. I do something like this
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
Because the onclick event is in the image and I don't want the text to be hiperlinked. Clearly I'm loosing something/doing something wrong, probably an humiliating mistake, but I ask for suggestions and corrections.
If it's exactly a copy paste of your code, the onclick handler is called 'show_section1()' and the function is called 'show_sect1()'. Notice sect != section :) .
Should we look further?
You can have the html you proposed and do something like this:
window.location = document.getElementById("Section1").parentNode.href;
Replace 'Section1' with your particular section.
Allright, I found a solution, it was far easier and probably nobody said it because I was presenting the problem in the wrong way, but perhaps this will help somebody.
I wanted to make the button take you to an anchor in the document, right?
The code above worked well, you clicked on the button and it showed hidden text, or hide it.
Now, adding the following to the button code, it does the anchor thingy also.
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
I just added a tag to link the button, and used the HTML id (which I already used for the JS) to function as an anchor. I hope to have explained it clearly, and that it helps somebody!
Key was, use the html id as an anchor
Ok I have a small question.
I have the following
<div><span class="spanright" onclick"">Update</span><label class="myinfo"><b>Business information:</b></label></div>
What I want to do is when the user clicks on the span it changes the html after the label an adds an input box and submit button.
I think I need to do a this.document but not sure
Hi hope this might give you a small understanding of what to do when it comes to registering events. StackOverflow is about you learning how to do something, so we dont write the scripts for you, we are just trying to point you in the right direction of it.

I would recommend you to import jQuery library, as done in the example, if possible. It makes the the world of javascript alot easier!
Documentation to look up:
http://api.jquery.com/insertAfter/
http://api.jquery.com/bind/
Look up some jQuery tutorials! there is alot of them out there.
I added a form which will hold the input
JavaScript:
function showInput()
{
document.getElementById('container').innerHTML += '<input type="text"/><input type="submit"/>';
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<span class="spanright" onclick"showInput()">Update</span>
<label class="myinfo"><b>Business information:</b></label>
</div>
Summoner's answer is right, but I prefer using jquery (it's loaded on almost every page I work with):
HTML:
<div id="container">
<span class="spanright">Update</span>
<label class="container"><b>Business information:</b></label>
</div>
Javascript:
$(".spanright").click(function(){
$("#container").append('<br /><input type="text"/><input type="submit"/>');
$(".spanright").unbind('click');
});
This way, the click event will work once, as it is what you probably intended.
Try this in jquery flavor --
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".spanright").click(function(){
$(".myinfo").css("color","red");
});
});
