We Keep Coding

why does my button disappear when I add the toggle event in jquery?

I want to toggle text between bold and normal I made this code for it, but when I open my page the bold button disappears?
$("#bold").toggle(function() {
$('.focus').css("font-weight", $(this).val());
}, function() {
$('.focus').css("font-weight", "normal");
});
Is there something wrong with my code?
Please help, thanks in advance.

Assuming you're using jQuery 1.9 or later the problem is that the .toggle() event handling method was removed from the library. So what you're actually calling is the .toggle() function that hides/shows elements. (In earlier versions of jQuery both functions existed and jQuery figured out which one you meant based on the arguments passed in.)
You can implement your own toggle easily enough with a standard .click() handler:
$("#bold").click(function() {
var f = !$(this).data("toggleFlag");
if (f) {
$('.focus').css("font-weight", $(this).val());
} else {
$('.focus').css("font-weight", "normal");
}
$(this).data("toggleFlag", f);
});
This uses the .data() method to keep track of a boolean flag to indicate which code to execute. The very first time the click handler is called the flag will be returned as undefined because it hasn't previously been set, but we just convert that to a boolean with ! (assuming you want to execute the if and not the else case on the first click).

It disappears because that version of toggle is deprecated and removed, and in newer versions of jQuery all it does is toggle visibility.
You could do something like this instead :
var state = true;
$("#bold").on('click', function() {
$('.focus').css("font-weight", state ? this.value : 'normal');
state = !state;
});
FIDDLE

The only solution I fount to the disappearing element after click... is Callback function after the toggle effect finished.
here a link that explain the Callback function.
and here is my code:
jQuery('.menu li.item-487').click(function(){
jQuery('#main-menu .moduletable .menu li').toggle("slow",function(){jQuery('.menu li.item-487').css('display' , 'block');});
});

jQuery on(click) doesn't work but on(hover) does

After initialize js I create new <div> element with close class and on("click") function doesn't work.
$(document).on('click', '.post-close', function () {
alert("hello");
});
but on('hover') work perfectly.
$(document).on('hover', '.post-close', function () {
alert("hello");
});
but I need to make it work on click.

It's because you're not preventing the default behaviour of the browser. Pass e into your handler and then use e.preventDefault()
$(document).on('click', '.post-close', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert("hello");
});
Edit
Also, bind the handler before creating the new <div>

why not use something like
$('.post-close').click(function(){
//do something
});
If the element was added dynamically use:
$(document).on('click', '.post-close', function(){
//do something
});
edit:
like danWellman said, you can add the preventDefault IF you want to make sure no other code is executed. otherwise use the code above.
edit2:
changed the .live to .on

It's an old post but I've had a exactly same problem (element created dynamically, hover works, but click doesn't) and found solution.
I hope this post helps someone.
In my case, I found ui-selectable is used for parent element and that was preventing from click event propagate to the document.
So I added a selector of the button element to ui-selectable's 'cancel' option and problem solved.
If you have a similar probrem, check this
Try turn of libraries for parent element
You're not using stopPropagation() in parent element ?

Javascript onclick function trouble

I'm using a popover in bootstrap, and I want it to close when the user clicks anywhere else on the screen. The code I have is this:
$('#popover').bind('click', function() {
$(".popover").live('click', function(){ return false; });
$(document).one("click", function() {
alert('click');
});
});
The problem is that the click on the button is triggering the alert. For some reason javascript uses that click to start the function and trigger the click event inside of it. What am I doing wrong?
EDITED:
This code doesn't do anything:
$(".popover").live('clickoutside', function(){
alert('click');
});

Check out these:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/event.stopPropagation
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/event.stopImmediatePropagation
If your .popover is inside #popover, you're triggering events from all the affected elements.
NOTE: jQuery's live is in deprecating process, use the alternatives:

How to check if there is already a click/event associated to an element

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());
});

Add click event to Div and go to first link found

I think I've been too much time looking at this function and just got stuck trying to figure out the nice clean way to do it.
It's a jQuery function that adds a click event to any div that has a click CSS class. When that div.click is clicked it redirects the user to the first link found in it.
function clickabledivs() {
$('.click').each(
function (intIndex) {
$(this).bind("click", function(){
window.location = $( "#"+$(this).attr('id')+" a:first-child" ).attr('href');
});
}
);
}
The code simply works although I'm pretty sure there is a fairly better way to accomplish it, specially the selector I am using: $( "#"+$(this).attr('id')+" a:first-child" ). Everything looks long and slow. Any ideas?
Please let me know if you need more details.
PS: I've found some really nice jQuery benchmarking reference from Project2k.de here:
http://blog.projekt2k.de/2010/01/benchmarking-jquery-1-4/

Depending on how many of these div.click elements you have, you may want to use event delegation to handle these clicks. This means using a single event handler for all divs that have the click class. Then, inside that event handler, your callback acts based on which div.click the event originated from. Like this:
$('#div-click-parent').click(function (event)
{
var $target = $(event.target); // the element that fired the original click event
if ($target.is('div.click'))
{
window.location.href = $target.find('a').attr('href');
}
});
Fewer event handlers means better scaling - more div.click elements won't slow down your event handling.

optimized delegation with jQuery 1.7+
$('#div-click-parent').on('click', 'div.click', function () {
window.location.href = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
});

Instead of binding all the clicks on load, why not bind them on click? Should be much more optimal.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.click').click(function() {
window.location = $(this).children('a:first').attr('href');
return false;
});
});

I would probably do something like;
$('.click').click(function(e){
window.location.href = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
});
