I work on a durandal project.
I have span and button elements in html.
The span elements are hidden and I want to show these on button click.
My problem is that when I hide the span from html- it can't show it from javascript.
I saw this question (on link change visibility of label tag using jquery) and I tried all of the answers- nothing helped me.
(I tried using:
in html:
<span id="mySpan" hidden = "hidden">aaa</span>
or:
<span id="mySpan" style= "visibility:collapse">aaa</span>
or:
<span id="mySpan" style= "display:none">aaa</span>
in javascript:
$("#mySpan").show();
or:
$("#mySpan").css('visibility', 'visible');
I tried all of the optional combinations
)
Note: I want you to know that when I'm not hiding the span from the HTML, and try using toggle(), hide(), show() - it works well.
Example that does not work:
on html page:
<span id="mySpan" hidden = "hidden">aaa</span>
on javascript page:
$("#mySpan").show();
Your HTML is not OK!
Remember, spans are closed <span></span> this way, and not the way you are closing them! That way, only self-closing elements such as: input, img etc are closed!
Try to write this:
<span id="mySpan">Some text!</span>
The CSS would be:
#mySpan {
display: none; // you're using diaplay!
}
Now using jQuery either use this:
$('#mySpan').show()
Or this:
$('#mySpan').css('display', 'block');
Well, your code is all wrong.
The id attribute should only be used once per page. It is meant to be unique so that you can refer to it as a single point in the document. You should change it to class="mySpan" and then select them using $(".mySpan").
visible:collapse is invalid CSS. You probably meant to use visibility, yes?
diaplay:none is also invalid CSS. Probably a typo of display, yes?
There is a hidden attribute in the newest HTML spec (usually called HTML5). I am not sure if you are aware of it; if you are, and you are trying to use it, then you should put the following in your CSS file so that it works in browsers that have not yet implemented it:
*[hidden] {
display: none;
}
Follow-up:
Okay, you want to be able to toggle a span on and off by clicking on a button. This will do it:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="myButton">Show/hide the span</button><br>
<span id="mySpan" style="display:none">This is a span with some text in it</span>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#myButton").click(function() {
$("#mySpan").toggle();
});
});
</script>
Seems to be an error in "diaplay"? Try to change:
<span id="mySpan" style="diaplay:none"/>
to:
<span id="mySpan" style="display:none"/>

I have the following html:
<span tabindex="19">
</span>
<span tabindex="20">
</span>
<span tabindex="21">
</span>
<span id="hidden" tabindex="22">
</span>
<span tabindex="23">
</span>
<span tabindex="24">
</span>
As you can see one of the span is hidden, the code to hide it is
#hidden
{
display: none;
}
I want a behavior where tab skips the hidden indexes. So i want something like this when i click tab:-
go to 19,20,21,23,24
I have no way of controlling the tab indexes as they are coming hard coded in the html i process.
Thank you guys!!
I tried a lot of things, so i was wrong in hiding it using
#hidden
{
display : none.
}
I tried
#hidden
{visibility : hidden }
and tab skips the links which are marked as hidden.
You could give it a negative tabindex which is supposed to be ignored by the browser. There are jQuery plugins that do this as well, such as SkipOnTab https://github.com/joelpurra/skipontab.
var $hidden = $('#hidden');
$hidden.attr('tabindex', '-' + $hidden.attr('tabindex'));
It would help if you posted your code, but you could try something like this:
$("#hidden").attr("disabled","disabled");
Normally the tab-event automatic skips a non visible HTML-element. However, the hard coded HTML part can override with JavaScript after the page has been loaded:
<script>
window.addEventListener("load", function()
{
document.getElementById("hidden").setAttribute("tabindex", "-1");
});
</script>
JQuery is also a solution, but 90kByte is a little bit heavy for this simply task.
Here is some dynamically generated content with jquery.
<div id="response">
<button id="high" class="btn-key-main">high</button>
<button id="last" class="btn-key-main">last</button>
</div>
How do I get the content of the button that is clicked (high or last) in a div with id="solution"?
Here's what I tried:
$("#response").on("click", 'button.btn-key-main', function() {
$("#solution").html($(this).val());
});
Solved by #slicedtoad and #smerny
.val() should've been .html() or .text()
$("#solution").html($(this).html());
http://jsfiddle.net/o4fyqvk7/
$("#response").on("click", 'button.btn-key-main', function() {
$("#solution").html($(this).text());
});
$('.selector').val is documented here: http://api.jquery.com/val/
If you want the text of a button use $('.selector').text() http://api.jquery.com/text/
Often it's a good idea to add a values to your buttons.
Just use the HTML value='' attribute.
Then you can do things like change the visible language on the button without breaking JS.
Lets say I have a form field and I want to append a span tag to it. Is it possible to do this with jQuery?
I tried this code:
$("input").append("<span>My HTML to append</span>");
Or would I have to use something else to append HTML.
So it would be something like this:
<input><span>My HTML to append</span></input>
But that wouldn't work.
Something like when you add tags to the question on StackOverflow each tag is a block.
Edit: How did StackOverflow do it when adding tags to the question.
input elements cannot have any child elements, so you can't use append on them.
You can set their value by using jQuery's val method.
They won't render HTML in any case, if you set the value to <span>My HTML to append</span>, that's exactly what you'll see in the input.
Re your edit:
So it would be something like this:
<input><span>My HTML to append</span></input>
That's invalid HTML. Again input elements cannot have content, they're "void" elements. This is why you can't use append on them.
Re your comment below:
How did StackOverflow do it when adding tags to the question.
They don't. Instead, there's an input and when you complete a tag in the input, they remove it and put it in a span in front of the input, so you end up with:
<span>
<span class="post-tag">tag</span>
<span class="post-tag">another-tag</span>
</span>
<input type="text">
In any modern browser, right-click the tags input field and choose "Inspect element" to see this live.
Here's an very quick-and-dirty example of doing this (but there are lots of plugins out there for doing it — tagit, select2 [which one of my clients uses and loves], ...): Live Copy
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Tags-Like Input</title>
<style>
.input-wrapper {
border: 1px solid #aaa;
}
.post-tag {
border: 1px solid #00a;
margin-right: 2px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="input-wrapper">
<input type="text" id="theInput">
</div>
<script>
(function() {
$("#theInput").on("keypress", function(e) {
if (e.which === 32) {
e.preventDefault();
addTag($.trim(this.value));
this.value = "";
}
});
function addTag(tag) {
$('<span class="post-tag"></span>')
.text(tag)
.insertBefore("#theInput");
}
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
An input element cannot have any child nodes, so no, you can't.
You could set the value (using the .val() method) to a string of HTML if you like.
You could concatenate that string with the existing value.
var $in = $("input");
$in.val(
$in.val() + "<span>My HTML to append</span>"
);
As other's have pointed out input element cannot have a child element.
So in a tagging system the common approach is to use a input element to select a tag once you do that add it to a container element which is placed next to the input element and style it such a way that they look like a single control.
In a very crude way you can use .after()/.before() to do it like
$("input").after("<span>My HTML to append</span>");
But there are already many plugins available to do it, so I would recommend using one of them like select2
I want to change src of in img, I coded as below, but it's not working, what's wrong?
<img id='logo_image'/>
<span onclick='$(logo_image).attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");'>click me</span>
It might be the problem with your selector.
If it is id use $('#logo_image')
If it is class use $('.logo_image')
First up you're trying to use a variable logo_image when you should be using a string starting with # to indicate you want to select by id:
onclick='$("#logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");'
Secondly, it would be better not to use an inline onclick attribute if you can help it:
<img id='logo_image'/>
<span>click me</span>
<script>
$("span").click(function() {
$("#logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");
});
</script>
...where ideally the span element would have some id or something to select it by.
Thirdly, don't make span elements clickable in the first place unless you don't care about making your page accessible to people who can't (or who choose not to) use a mouse or other pointing device. Better to use an anchor (which you can style as you see fit) so that the user can tab to it and activate it with the keyboard:
<img id='logo_image'/>
click me
<script>
$("a").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");
});
</script>
The problem with your code is you aren't probably setting the object to logo_image variable.
I suggest changing it to:
<span onclick='$("#logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");'>click me</span>
logo-_image should be the id of that image.
Since you want refer to the name of the id, you have to wrap the logo_image in quotes, otherwise Javascript will treat it as variable.
$('#logo_image')
You have to use something like this:
<img id="logo_image" src="" />
<span onclick='$("#logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");'>
click me
</span>
if you have an img with a id named logo_image
if your img has the css class logo_image you have to write:
<img class="logo_image" src="" />
<span onclick='$(".logo_image").attr("src", "images/logo_orange.png");'>
click me
</span>
Make sure u use the right quotes in the javascript part.
Also use $('#logo_image') selector to get the image by id.
I made a jsfiddle for you to demonstrate:
http://jsfiddle.net/9Ltfa/
<span onclick="$('#logo_image').attr('src', 'images/logo_orange.png');">click me</span>
As you have specified the image as an id, you will need to reference the image via the following code:
$('#logo_image')
I have a form that I create a checkbox on a click of a button. I am using https://github.com/pixelmatrix/uniform which provides an update function to style dynamically create elements which does not work. I got a work around but my problem is that it also reset the already created elements so they double, triple etc.
They are wrapped in a div with a class of checker. Is there a way to check if the div is around it first before applying my $('.table').find('input:checkbox').uniform(). I have tried different examples but they dont seem to work with my code and my jQuery is still limit.
Thanks
<div class="checker" id="uniform-160">
<span>
<input type="checkbox" name="chbox" id="160" style="opacity: 0;">
</span>
</div>
jQuery:
$(".fg-button").live("click", function(){
$('.table').find('input:checkbox').uniform()
});
Try this:
$('.table input:checkbox').not('div.checker input').uniform()
