My site
i have used it with and without Cdata.Where did i go wrong

You should put your javascript code into document.ready. The reason behind document.ready is you put your javascript code before the a#click-side element. That means when your javascript executed, in the page there is no element called a#click-side. When we put into document.ready it downloads your javascript and all document gently and then starts executing your javascript code.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#posts-container,a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#topbar #category").removeClass("category-list-move")
});
$("a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#sidebar").toggleClass("sidebar-move");
$("#topbar").toggleClass("topbar-move");
$("#posts-container").toggleClass("posts-container-move")
});
});
//]]>
</script>

You've not wrapped your code in a document.ready event handler. Change it to this...
jQuery(function($) {
$("#posts-container,a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#topbar #category").removeClass("category-list-move")
});
$("a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#sidebar").toggleClass("sidebar-move");
$("#topbar").toggleClass("topbar-move");
$("#posts-container").toggleClass("posts-container-move")
});
});
It was trying to assign the click event handlers before the page was loaded, so none of the elements actually exist at that time. Wrapping in the ready handler, as above, means it will only run the script when the page has finished loading.

Added your code when document gets ready.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#posts-container,a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#topbar #category").removeClass("category-list-move")
});
$("a#click-slide").click(function() {
$("#sidebar").toggleClass("sidebar-move");
$("#topbar").toggleClass("topbar-move");
$("#posts-container").toggleClass("posts-container-move")
});
});
</script>

Using variables in Javascript Open Function

I'm new to Javascript and I have what is probably a pretty basic question. I have some tools tips and want to open them with a click. I create a Javascript call on the click. I can pas the element ID I want to open, but I don't know how to get it to work in the Open call.
<script type="text/javascript">
function opentip(tipID) {
//alert(tipID);
$(#tipID).tooltipster('open');
}
</script>
It's not necessary the function opentip(tipID) to bind the mouse click. I will give you an genereic exemple. You have to import Tooltipster's CSS and JS, and jQuery, so the code will be:
<span class="tooltip" title="Tooltip content!">Target tag</span>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.tooltip').tooltipster({
trigger: 'click'
});
});
</script>
When clicl on "Target tag" will appear an tooltip with "Tooltip content!" inside.
The $(document).ready(function() {}); is important to be sure that when the script runs, the browser have already the DOM ready, so the script can find the HTML elements.
You are using JQuery syntax. Insert JQuery plugin and add single quotes in your syntax $('#'+tipID).tooltipster('open'); and add inside document.ready
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
function opentip(tipID) {
//alert(tipID);
$('#'+tipID).tooltipster('open');
}
});
</script>

Proper way to add onload function to body using jQuery

On one of my previous pages I use
<script src="/js/wireEvent.js"></script>
<body onload="wireEvent();" >
Basically, wireEvent() displays an image on top of the page whenever the mouse goes out of the browser.
However, now I cannot add this function directly to the body of my page, so what is the proper way to add it? Will it be right if I add
<script>
window.onload = wireEvent;
</script>
or I enclose the whole function in
$( document ).ready
and only include the function's file to my html?
The code below executes only after all your images load completely. So you can try this:
$(document).on('load', function(){
wireEvent();
});
You can just do:
$(function(){
//jQuery code here
});

How to use unobtrusive JavaScript approach to call a function using anchor tag?

There are number of questions on this and I tried them out. However I am having an issue with the following anchor tag which acts as a button. Why isn't the link click event calling the function?
try 1:
Submit
try 2:
Submit
js code:
<script>
$("#btnSubmit").click(function(){
dbdata = <%=jsscripts()%>;
addAll(0, this);
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cart_Test.js"> </script>
NOTE:
Please note that this particular js function works well when it's called under the DOM load event listener.
UPDATE:
dbdata is an array and addall() is a function defined in the cart_Test.js file. It seems, following script is not fired after the click function event.
<script type="text/javascript" src="cart_Test.js"> </script>
The order of the js:
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", theDomHasLoaded, false);
function theDomHasLoaded(e) {
//datepicker stuff
}
</script>
<script>
$("#btnSubmit").click(function(){
});
<script type="text/javascript" src="cart_Test.js"> </script>
Well, I am adding an answer since this is how I got it solved. It could be the order of execution.
There was a script snippet for a jQuery UI datepicker. Somehow it was blocking above stated scripts which are supposed to be the first scripts to be run in this page.
After removing the datepicker script (it can be any other script, not necessary a datepicker.) and adjusted the order of execution, the programme flow was back to normal and all scripts were firing as expected.

Inserting javascript in to html file

How can I run this script, tried to run it in html file, but it doesn't seem to work..
I want this code to be in single html file, is it possible? or do I need different files?
http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/jcnMa/1/
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.question, .answer')
.css("display", "none");
$('.section')
.click(function ()
{
var $others = $('.question:visible')
.not(this);
$others.next('.answer')
.hide();
$others.slideToggle(500);
$(this)
.next('.question')
.slideToggle(500);
});
$('.question')
.click(function ()
{
$(this)
.next('.answer')
.slideToggle(500);
});​
</script>
First make sure you're including the jQuery library:
<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
Make sure you're not including the jQuery within those tags, so you've got:
<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
/* Your jQuery here */
</script>
And then ensure you're using a $(document).ready(), or $(window).load(), handler:
<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(
function(){
/* Your jQuery here */
});
</script>
The requirement for the $(document).ready() (or $(window).load()) is to ensure that the DOM is constructed, and the elements to which you want to bind events are present. Without those handlers the browser will try to bind events as soon as it encounters your script, without waiting for the elements to exist or be created, which results in non-functioning event-binding.
put this code before the body close tag
Your Code
</body>
I would go this way:
<head>
...
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.question, .answer').css("display", "none");
$('.section').click(function ()
{
var $others = $('.question:visible').not(this);
$others.next('.answer').hide();
$others.slideToggle(500);
$(this).next('.question').slideToggle(500);
});
$('.question').click(function ()
{
$(this).next('.answer').slideToggle(500);
});​
});
</script>
...
</head>
First you need to ensure jquery lib is loaded, then you might notice that your code is referring to object in DOM, so you can access them only when the page is loaded (or after they are entered in the body code). I prefer to store my js code in the head section whenever it's possible.

jquery .load isn't checking if my element is loaded

I have this code
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#main_photo_display").load(function(){
alert("loaded");
});
</script>
<div id="main_photo_display"></div>
I need it to do something once that div has loaded. Currently it does nothing. When I substitute window for "#main_photo_display" it works. I have googled and I keep coming across .load as how to check if a page element has been loaded.
The load event is sent to an element when it and all sub-elements have
been completely loaded. This event can be sent to any element
associated with a URL: images, scripts, frames, iframes, and the
window object.
Source: http://api.jquery.com/load-event/
Further down on the same page they state:
It doesn't correctly bubble up the DOM tree
So you can't delegate this event, the event handler must be attached to the element on which the load event fires.
Or you can run the script after the DOM is ready like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#main_photo_display").load(function(){
alert("loaded");
});
});
</script>
<div id="main_photo_display"></div>
Sorry I think I read it wrong :) You need this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert('loaded');
});
</script>
A plain div does not have a load event except when you are loading content into it with ajax (which I don't think is what you are doing here). If your code is physically located after the div in your page, then the div will be available and ready for your code to operate on it (you don't have to check anything).
If your code is located before the div in the page, then you can use jQuery's .ready() method to know when it is safe to access the div:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// safe to access $("#main_photo_display") here
});
</script>
<div id="main_photo_display"></div>
I don't think a DIV fires a loaded event. If there was a blank.gif image within the DIV, you could attach the $.load() function to that.
<div id="main_photo_display">
..... Other Content .....
<img class="loadcheck" src="blank.gif" width="0" height="0" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#main_photo_display img.loadcheck").load(function(){
alert("loaded");
});
});
</script>
You can't do that: load events are not fired on just any HTML element, only on those that require loading an external resource.
The best way to ensure the element is loaded is to put the script tag after it in the markup.
<div id="main_photo_display"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("loaded");
</script>
The Javascript will not be run before the div is parsed.
I have a sort of workaround, and it is sloppy (please comment out if you have notes).
It is useful when you have a javascript out of your control which appends elements to your dom on a page load.
$(function () {
var counter = 0;
var intervalId = setInterval(function () {
$(document).mouseover()
}, 105);
var unbind = function () {
$(document).off('mousemove', '#label');
$(document).off('mouseover');
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
};
$(document).mouseover(function () {
$('#label').trigger('mousemove');
counter++;
if (jivositecounter > 200) unbind();
});
$(document).on('mousemove', '#label', function () {
console.log(counter);
...doing our stuff when #label appears
unbind();
});
});
