I'm tryin to make a div 'active' by clicking on it using jquery. But inside the div, there is a checkbox. I want the div to become active whenever i click anywher inside the div except the checkbox. I have done that, but the checkbox is now not responsding to click events (ie it's not getting checked/unchecked when i click on it).
http://jsfiddle.net/U7VmV/3/
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.c-video').click(function(){
$('.c-video').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});
}).children().find('label').click(function(e){
return false;
});
Use event.stoppropagation()
Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.
}).find('label').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
Fiddle Demo
You have to prevent the propagation of the event, when you return false it prevents the event propagation but it will also prevents the default action of the click event that is checking/unchecking the checkbox.
So instead or returning false call stopPropagation() in the event object
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.c-video').click(function(){
$('.c-video').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});
}).children().find('label').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation()
});
Demo: Fiddle
Another way to do it is to check clicked event target:
var $cVideo = $('.c-video').on('click', function(e) {
if (e.target.tagName != 'INPUT' && e.target.tagName != 'LABEL') {
$cVideo.removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
}
});

I would like when i click in a div, it's not trigger the action on the parent div.
My example :
When I click on the ".chosen-container" div, I don't want to trigger the "sort" on the parent div
I tried this, but this doesn't work :
$(document).on("click", '.chosen-container', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
});
Thanks a lot
I have a toggle event on a div, and I've seen many questions regarding mine but nothing seems to work for what I'm trying to do, it either makes my div disappear in a few seconds, or it just doesn't work. Here's my jsfiddle.
I have a div that needs to toggle when another <div> is clicked. The toggled div has inputs in it that need to be filled out, and a submit button inside it as well. So I need clicks inside the div to be allowed, but only inside my div. So I want the div to show unless the user clicks outside of this div.
I'm using this query which toggles fine:
$('#MyDiv').click(function (event) {
$("#ToggledDiv").slideToggle();
});
And then this coding to hide it when clicked outside of the div which doesn't work:
$(window).click(function () {
$("ToggledDiv").hide();
});
I've tried solutions with e.preventDefault(); but that doesn't work, or $(document).click, even mousedown but it just doesn't flow how I want, it'll hide it within a few seconds, or it will prevent the toggle from even working so I'm lost.
The reason behind this behavior is Event Bubbling and Capturing of HTML DOM API. You can use event.stopPropagation() OR event.cancelBubble = true to prevents the event from bubbling up to the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.
Another good article: events order
$('#MyDiv').click(function(event) {
$("#ToggledDiv").show();
disabledEventPropagation(event);
//console.log('2nd event');
});
$('#ToggledDiv').click(function(event) {
disabledEventPropagation(event);
//console.log('3rd event');
});
$(document).click(function() {
$("#ToggledDiv").hide();
//console.log('1st event');
});
function disabledEventPropagation(event) {
if (event.stopPropagation) {
event.stopPropagation();
} else if (window.event) {
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="MyDiv" style="background-color:yellow">
click me to open
</div>
<div id="ToggledDiv" style="display: none;background-color:yellow">
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</div>
Take a look at the event when you click inside the #targetDiv. There are two properties you can use to evaluate what action to perform: event.target and event.currentTarget. In this case:
$('#ToggledDiv').on('click', function(event) {
console.log(event.target, event.currentTarget);
});
This is a good way to see if what clicked is actual target or a child element in the target.
To add to Chris' answer, you can see here that I check that the e.target is not inside the form using vanilla Node.contains, and also not the button...
https://jsfiddle.net/jmLdp45s/3/
var $button = $('button');
var $form = $('form');
$button.click(function() {
$form.slideToggle();
});
$(window).click(function(event) {
if (
!$form.get(0).contains( event.target ) // target is not inside form
&& event.target !== $button.get(0) // target is not button
) $form.hide();
});
If I bind a click handler to the body element, when I click anything on the page the event is triggered. I can check the event.target on every click:
$("body").on("click", function(event) {
if (event.target.tagName == "BODY") {
...
}
});
but that seem a bit overkill. Is there a way to trigger the event only when clicking the blank area of the body itself?
You can use the eventPhase property of event. A value of 2 means that the event is currently triggering the target element:
$("body").on("click", function(event) {
//Cancel if not at target
if (event.eventPhase != 2) return;
//Other Code Here
});
Fiddle Here: http://jsfiddle.net/o0yptmmp/
You should put an
event.stopPropagation()
on all children you want to not bubble up.
jQuery Docs: http://api.jquery.com/event.stoppropagation/.
You can do it if you check on every click if the element clicked has a body parent. If the condition is false, you are clicking the body:
$("body").on("click", function(event) {
if ($(this).parents('body').length == 0) {
//Do something
}
});
In my opinion it's not a good practice, but it depends on your code and project.
I have several DIV of the following kind on my page:
<div class='entry'>
This is a statement
<a title="Search #travel" class="app-context-link" href="">#travel</a>
</div>
When a DIV of class .entry is clicked I trigger the following:
$(".entry").on('click', function(e) {
console.log("DIV Clicked");
});
When a link of the class .app-context-link is clicked I trigger the following:
var context_links = document.getElementsByClassName('app-context-link');
for (var k=0;k<context_links.length;++k) {
context_links[k].addEventListener('click', function(e) {
console.log("The context link inside DIV is clicked");
});
}
The question:
Right now when I click on the app-context-link both actions seem to be triggered: for the DIV (because a .click event is detected) and for the link (because there's an event listener on a link of that class).
How do I make it that if the link is clicked the DIV on click jQuery is not triggered?
I tried several possibilities, nothing worked. Also I would prefer not to reorganize the code too much, but simply add some directive in the on click jQuery part so that it detects if a link was clicked and does not do what it would normally do if the DIV was clicked.
Thank you!
you can use like this
$(".entry").on('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
alert($(this).prop("tagName"));
});
$(".entry a").on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
alert($(this).prop("tagName"));
});
DEMO
Use stop propagation :
context_links[k].addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); //Here
console.log("The context link inside DIV is clicked");
});
This will stop the click event from bubbling, so when you click on the a, click events of its ancestor will not trigger.
I write simple overlay for my page, kind of lightbox, but is going to do other stuff, anyway, My bigger problem in this tests... is I want when you click the overlay mask, the overlay close... But if you click in the children div, like the content div inside the overlay the overlay must remain open.. (which is not, that's the problem)
http://jsfiddle.net/7Cr2V/
How can I say in Javascript, if I click a child div of "overlayfull" please do not close or hide the overlayfull ... here is my code.. and above is the js fiddle if you want to check it cause my English is very bad.
$('div.vidreveal a').click(
function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$('div.videoquon').fadeToggle(300);
$('div.overlayfull').fadeToggle(300);
}
);
$('div.my-video-close').click(
function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$('div.videoquon').fadeToggle(300);
$('div.overlayfull').fadeToggle(300);
}
);
$('div.overlayfull').click(
function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$('div.videoquon').fadeToggle(300);
$('div.overlayfull').fadeToggle(300);
}
);
One solution is to add a click handler to the children, in which you stop propagation:
$('div.overlayfull').children().click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
});
stop propagation only works for parent elements it doesnt not stop the active element itself. you can encompass the text with a class and return false if clicked on that
<div id='my-video'></div>
<div class="message">CLIC HERE MUST NOT CLOSE THE OVERLAY</div>
</div>
if (event.target.className === 'message')
return false;
http://jsfiddle.net/59trN/
I think this is the simplest way to do it if I understand the question correctly. I just check within your handler to see if the div getting clicked on is the one you don't want to close the modal, and return from the function before the fadeout is triggered:
$('div.overlayfull').click(
function(event) {
if ($(event.target).hasClass('videoquon')){
return;
}
event.stopPropagation();
$('div.videoquon').fadeToggle(300);
$('div.overlayfull').fadeToggle(300);
}
);
Check out the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/aRDKS/
Either have an event for the divs inside overloay div and stoppropagation on that. Inorder to stop the Propagation of event occurring on the children of a parent which has that particular event's handler, either check for the target from where the event generated in the paent handler or add a handler for the children and apply event.stopPropagation() to avoid the event bubbling up to the parent.
$('div.overlayfull div').click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation()
});
or check for the target's id from which the event was generated:
function (event) {
if (event.target.id == 'overlayfull') { // Check here if the event originated from the intended div itself
$('div.videoquon').fadeToggle(300);
$(this).fadeToggle(300);
}
});
