Resize function events fire 2 times more each time the window was resized

On my site, I am trying to fix the navigation so that when the browser is getting resized from desktop to mobile size, the mobile menu works. I have the mobile menu working on initial load, and the desktop navigation working on initial load, but when I run the script in a $(window).on('resize', function() {} and click an item as depicted in my script, the event fires always +1 each time the window was rested after a resize.
What I mean is, if I load the page, scale it into mobile size, click the menu and a dropdown item, the click event will fire once. Resize the window out and then back in, the click event will fire now 2 times, then 3, and so on, depending on how many times the browser was resized.
I'm not sure exactly what is going on in my resize script that is screwing everything up and I'm at my wits end at trying to figure it out. Normally people aren't sitting there resizing their browser from desktop to mobile, but my boss does when he show's clients a beta of their site and wants this to never be an issue.
Here is my resize script:
(function( $ ) {
var id,
$body = $('body'),
$window = $( window ),
$navSlider = $('.nav-slider'),
$navMask = $( '.nav-mask' ),
$navToggler = $( '.navbar-toggler' ),
$parent = $( '.menu-item-has-children' ),
$parentLink = $( '.dropdown-toggle' ),
$childContainer = $( '.dropdown-menu' );
$window.on( 'resize', function( e ) {
clearTimeout(id);
id = setTimeout(function() {
close();
var width = $window.width();
if ( width < 992 ) {
setHeightToNav();
$navMask.on( 'click', function() { close() } );
$navToggler.on( 'click', function() { open() } );
$parentLink.on( 'click', function( e ) {
e.preventDefault();
var $this = $( this );
$this.data( 'clicked', true );
console.log( $this.parent() );
} )
}
if ( width >= 992 ) {
resetNavHeight();
console.clear();
}
}, 500 );
} );
function setHeightToNav() {
if ( $body.hasClass( 'logged-in' ) ) {
var $wpAdminBar = $( '#wpadminbar' ).outerHeight();
$navSlider.css( { top: $wpAdminBar + 'px' } );
}
var $navHeight = $( '#header-container' ).outerHeight();
$navSlider.css( { marginTop: $navHeight + 'px' } );
}
function resetNavHeight() {
if ( $body.hasClass( 'logged-in' ) ) {
$navSlider.css( { top: 0 + 'px' } );
}
$navSlider.css( { marginTop: 0 + 'px' } );
}
function close() {
$body.removeClass( 'has-active-menu' );
setTimeout( function() {
$navSlider.removeClass( 'toggling' );
$parent.removeClass( 'show' );
$parentLink.attr( 'aria-expanded', false );
$childContainer.removeClass( 'show' ).removeAttr( 'style' );
$parentLink.data('clicked', false);
}, 250 );
console.log('close()');
}
function open() {
$body.addClass( 'has-active-menu' );
$navSlider.addClass( 'toggling' );
}
})( jQuery );
I've tried my script both with AND without the setTimeout function and it happens exactly the same.
On the project, we are using Bootstrap 4, with the Bootstraps Dropdown._clearMenus(); function commented out in the right places as it was causing conflicts with the functionality I wanted with the navigation.
A link to a site where you can see this is here. It's a WordPress site as well if that matters for anything.
Any help is appreciated. I've been at this for several hours and am at my wits end.

.on( 'click', function ) does not set the event listener, it adds an event listener. Try doing off('click') before setting it if you really need to set this listener here.
But note that any other 'click' listener for this element will also be removed.
That's for the quick fix. You could do better, but that would require more work (track with a boolean if you just changed "display mode", and add or remove the event listeners only then, for example).

Toggle auto close

I have the following js code:
This code is used on a FAQ toggle page.
It works basically as every toogle code, but I would like to add the auto-close function when clicking to an other question.
Hide the prev question content, then show the next one.
Any ideas?
if ( 'function' !== typeof(window[ 'vc_toggleBehaviour' ] ) ) {
window.vc_toggleBehaviour = function ( $el ) {
function event( e ) {
e && e.preventDefault && e.preventDefault();
var title = jQuery( this );
var element = title.closest( '.vc_toggle' );
var content = element.find( '.vc_toggle_content' );
if ( element.hasClass( 'vc_toggle_active' ) ) {
content.slideUp( {
duration: 300,
complete: function () {
element.removeClass( 'vc_toggle_active' );
}
} );
} else {
content.slideDown( {
duration: 300,
complete: function () {
element.addClass( 'vc_toggle_active' );
}
} );
}
}
if ( $el ) {
if ( $el.hasClass( 'vc_toggle_title' ) ) {
$el.unbind( 'click' ).click( event );
} else {
$el.find( ".vc_toggle_title" ).unbind( 'click' ).click( event );
}
} else {
jQuery( ".vc_toggle_title" ).unbind( 'click' ).on( 'click', event );
}
}
}

Whenever any of the questions are clicked, if you were to hide all active questions you won't have to worry about which one -if any- are currently active.
(on question click):
$('.vc_toggle_active').each(function(){
$(this)slideUp( {
duration: 300,
complete: function () {
$(this).removeClass( 'vc_toggle_active' );
}
});
});
After sliding up any currently active question, go ahead and show the clicked one.
NB. Code not tested, since you have no fiddle and no html. Hope you get the concept though.

How to add hover event listener to trigger event listener

I am trying to add a hover event listener to the code below so that when I hover over the link tag, it triggers the action to expand the submenu. I tried hover and mouseover and neither worked. Click seems to work fine though, Im not sure what I am doing wrong.
Array.prototype.slice.call( this.menuItems ).forEach( function( el, i ) {
var trigger = el.querySelector( 'a' );
if( self.touch ) {
``trigger``.addEventListener( 'touchstart', function( ev ) {
self._openMenu( this, ev ); } );
}
else {
trigger.addEventListener( 'click', function( ev ) { self._openMenu( this, ev ); });
}
});
window.addEventListener('resize', function( ev ) {
self._resizeHandler();
});

trigger.addEventListener('click', function(ev) {
self._openMenu(this, ev);
});
Write
trigger.addEventListener('mouseover', function(ev) {
self._openMenu(this, ev);
});
Replace click event by mouseover event

Don't punish yourself like this. Use a library like jQuery to attach eventhandlers to elements. Mouseover and hover are both supported by jQuery. Don't reinvent the wheel and build upon existing solutions like bootstrap to implement basic functionality like expanding a submenu.

Why won't the JavaScript code work out of codepen.io

So there is some code from codepen.io http://codepen.io/karolpodlesny/pen/npKqu. It is uploaded here: http://fredricarms.com/javatestindex.html.
Now, the HTML, CSS and JavaScript for making the boxes expand and do all the cool things, are working how they are supposed to, being in separate files, so is the modernizr. I also the know that the js is being called because in the boxlayout.js I wrote some code to bring up and alert box and it worked just fine. So I am guessing that codepen fixes the code so it runs perfectly. I just don't know what is wrong with the code in the boxlayout.js that is not working on my server. Please help and thank you so much. Below is the code in the boxlayout js file.
var Boxlayout = (function() {
var $el = $( '#bl-main' ),
$sections = $el.children( 'section' ),
// works section
$sectionWork = $( '#bl-work-section' ),
// work items
$workItems = $( '#bl-work-items > li' ),
// work panels
$workPanelsContainer = $( '#bl-panel-work-items' ),
$workPanels = $workPanelsContainer.children( 'div' ),
totalWorkPanels = $workPanels.length,
// navigating the work panels
$nextWorkItem = $workPanelsContainer.find( 'nav > span.bl-next-work' ),
// if currently navigating the work items
isAnimating = false,
// close work panel trigger
$closeWorkItem = $workPanelsContainer.find( 'nav > span.bl-icon-close' ),
transEndEventNames = {
'WebkitTransition' : 'webkitTransitionEnd',
'MozTransition' : 'transitionend',
'OTransition' : 'oTransitionEnd',

},
// transition end event name
transEndEventName = transEndEventNames[ Modernizr.prefixed( 'transition' ) ],
// support css transitions
supportTransitions = Modernizr.csstransitions;
function init() {
initEvents();
}
function initEvents() {
$sections.each( function() {
var $section = $( this );
// expand the clicked section and scale down the others
$section.on( 'click', function() {
if( !$section.data( 'open' ) ) {
$section.data( 'open', true ).addClass( 'bl-expand bl-expand-top' );
$el.addClass( 'bl-expand-item' );
}
} ).find( 'span.bl-icon-close' ).on( 'click', function() {
// close the expanded section and scale up the others
$section.data( 'open', false ).removeClass( 'bl-expand' ).on( transEndEventName, function( event ) {
if( !$( event.target ).is( 'section' ) ) return false;
$( this ).off( transEndEventName ).removeClass( 'bl-expand-top' );
} );
if( !supportTransitions ) {
$section.removeClass( 'bl-expand-top' );
}

return false;
}
isAnimating = true;
var $currentPanel = $workPanels.eq( currentWorkPanel );
currentWorkPanel = currentWorkPanel < totalWorkPanels - 1 ? currentWorkPanel + 1 : 0;
var $nextPanel = $workPanels.eq( currentWorkPanel );
$currentPanel.removeClass( 'bl-show-work' ).addClass( 'bl-hide-current-work' ).on( transEndEventName, function( event ) {

Your code relies entirely on jQuery, however you haven't included jQuery on your live site. On your CodePen example you're using jQuery 1.9.1:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
You can continue to use the Google-hosted version, or if you want to host it yourself you can download jQuery from jQuery's own website.

The problem is that you need to initialize your BoxLayout once your document has finished loading (all those jQuery variables you're using inside your library won't be defined because their equivalent dom elements are not yet rendered), that's why you need to init everything when dom is ready.
Add this line of code to the bottom of your boxlayout.js file:
$(document).ready(function() {
Boxlayout.init();
});
Just for testing purposes, open up the web developer console on your website, and run this js code:
Boxlayout.init();
You'll see everything will work just fine.

jquery prevent default seems stuck on and requires additional click

I'm writing a jquery plugin to display a jquery ui dialog when links are clicked to provide a confirmation dialog before the link is followed.
The problem i'm having is that when closing the dialog using the "Yes" button, the plugin uses $(element).trigger( 'click' ); to fire the click event on the original anchor element.
This does not cause the browser to follow the link, however a second click with my mouse after the dialog closes does work.
The plugin is used like this $('a').submitConfirm();
Here is the plugin
;(function ( $, window, document, undefined )
{
var pluginName = "submitConfirm";
var Plugin = function( element )
{
var confirmed = false;
var dialog = $( '<div style="display:none;">' )
.html( 'Visit this link?' )
.dialog(
{
modal: true,
title: 'Visit Link?',
autoOpen: false,
buttons :
[
{
text: 'Yes',
click: function( event )
{
confirmed = true;
dialog.dialog( "close" );
$(element).trigger( 'click' );
}
},
{
text: 'No',
click: function( event )
{
confirmed = false;
dialog.dialog( "close" );
}
}
]
});
$(element).bind( 'click',
function( event )
{
if ( ! confirmed )
{
dialog.dialog( "open" );
event.preventDefault();
}
});
};
// Init the plugin
$.fn[pluginName] = function( options )
{
return this.each(function ()
{
// Prevent re-instantiation
if ( !$.data(this, 'plugin_' + pluginName) )
{
$.data(this, 'plugin_' + pluginName,
new Plugin( this, options ));
}
});
};
})( jQuery );

You have to pass a function containing what you want to do to the plugin.
Add this line when you are setting the default parameters for the plugin at the bottom of your javascript.
$(function()
{
$('a').submitConfirm(
{
html: 'Are you sure?',
onConfirm: function(event){ // Do what you want in this function.
alert('Confirmed.. Now what?.. Redirect?.. ?? ');
// window.location = $(this).attr('href'); // redirect
},
beforeShow: function( dialog )
{
dialog.html( 'visit google?' );
}
});
});
Update
Check out this JSfiddle --> http://jsfiddle.net/kmTtQ/6/
I changed the lines below. Basically, we want to add a .click event to the element, then .trigger('click') that click.
if ( confirmed ){
console.log( element, elementEvent, event.isDefaultPrevented );
// .on() = jQuery 1.7+, for < 1.7 use .bind or .live. Aliases of .on() as of 1.7
$(element).on('click', function(){ // bind our element with the click
event.view.window.location = element.href; // on click redirect
});
$(element).trigger( 'click' ); // We want to trigger the ^ click event ^
}
