I am a jQuery beginner and want to achieve the following - whenever I click on any element of the page, I want the color of the text inside it to be changed to red. This is what I have but it doesn't work. Surprisingly the alert statement also prints nothing. But it does executes as I tested it with another alert statement. Thanks.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div>Cow</div>
<div>Cat</div>
<p>paragraph</p>
<p>coconut</p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(this).click(function () {
var v = $(this).text();
alert(v); // this prints nothing !!!!
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
</script>
</body>
If you attach the click handler to the document, any click that bubbles up to the document will go to the event listener. If you now within the listener look for the event.target, that will be the node that initiated the event:
$(document).click(function (event) {
$(event.target).css("color", "red");
});
example: http://jsfiddle.net/E9H22/
If you specify the body element (in place of this), then it works:
$('body').click(function () {
var v = $(this).text();
alert(v); // this prints something, now.
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
JS Fiddle demo.
You could also, of course, use:
$(this.document.body).click(function () {
var v = $(this).text();
alert(v); // this prints something, now.
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
JS Fiddle demo.
If you want only the clicked-element to have its text turn red:
$('body').click(function (e) {
$(e.target).css("color", "red");
});
JS Fiddle demo.
$(this).click(function () {
This is your problem.
Instead of saying this, you need to use CSS selectors to specify which elements will change color.
For example, you could try
$('div').click(function() { // Will change the color of the divs
var v = $(this).text();
alert(v); // this prints nothing !!!!
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
$('p').click(function() { // Will change the paragraphs
...
});
$('p, div').click(function() { // Will work for either one!
...
});
$('*').click(function() { // Will work for any element on the page
...
});
In your
$(this).click(function () {
"this" doesn't refer to where the <script> tag is located, but rather it refers to window object. So in essence your code does this:
$(window).click(function (){
If you want the cow to turn red, when clicking it, change HTML to:
<div id="cow">Cow</div>
And your script:
// callback needs to be inside $(document).ready(fn) to make sure the DOM is ready when trying to use it
$(document).ready(function () {
// and we need to refer to an explicit element
$('#cow').click(function (){
// now we can refer to "this", since inside the click handler's context is the clicked element
$(this).css({color: 'red'});
});
}
You must specify to which element you wanna add a click event. E.g. this will work for all the div-elements:
$('div').click(function () {
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
You need to wrap that in a document ready statement, and attach the click listener to an actual element:
$(function(){
$("*").click(function () {
$(this).css("color", "red");
});
});
Your selector could look something like $("div, p").click(...) depending on which elements you want to be active.

I am able to bind click event to element with class name keybox. And this element is generated dynamically.
$('body').on('click','.keybox', function(){
// some code here
});
But for same element I tried binding hover and load event using following code:
$('body').on('hover','.keybox', function(){
// some code here
});
$('body').on('load','.keybox', function(){
// some code here
});
....and its not working as expected.
Can someone help with this problem? I want to bind hover and load event to my element with class name keybox and this element is generated dynamically.
Instead of hover, use mouseenter and mouseleave event. Instead of body.load use
$(document).ready(function() {
You can use following approach to bind multiple events and get object information via event object.
$('body').bind('click hover load', '.keybox', function(e){
if ( e.type === 'hover') {
// do something
}
else if(e.type === 'click') {
// do something
}
....
});
Make sure you bind events in $(document).ready(function() {} or load javascript just in bottom of html document body.
Since hover is deprecated you should use mouseenter and mouseleave for load you can write using event using on(load is equivalent to ready).
$(function(){
$(document).on('mouseenter', '.keybox', function () {
$(this).css('color','red');
});
$(document).on('mouseleave', '.keybox', function () {
$(this).css('color','black');
});
$(document).on('click', '.keybox', function () {// click on dynamically loaded events.
$(this).css('color','green');
});
$('#btn').click(function() {
$('#parent').append("<div class='keybox'>sample1</div>");
$('#parent').append("<div class='keybox'>sample2</div>");
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="parent">
zdhsdhsau
</div>
<input type="button" id="btn" value="create"/>
I have a JS function that I want to automatic click in a jquery.click link when page loads.
How can I make it work?
Fiddle
When page loads I want to see the alert, no click in the link needed.
js:
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementsByClassName("c").click();
}
$(".c").click(function(){
alert("ok");
});
html:
test
you need to attach click event before trigger event.
DEMO
Change
document.getElementsByClassName("c")
to
document.getElementsByClassName("c")[0]
Use Below code
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".c").click(function(){
alert("ok");
});
});
window.onload = function(){
document.getElementsByClassName("c")[0].click();
// Or use jQuery trigger
// $(".c").trigger('click')
}
DEMO HERE
trigger click on document.ready
$('document').ready(function(){
$(".c").click(function(){
alert("ok");
});
$('.c').trigger('click');
});
Trigger event right after you create handler
$(function(){
$(".c").click(function(){
alert("ok");
}).click();
});
DEMO
Try this way
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".c").trigger('click');
});
getElementsByClassName Returns an array-like object of all child elements which have all of the given class names. When called on the document object, the complete document is searched, including the root node.
To assign a click handler, either you will have to iterate through nodelist or just assign event to first element
Try this:
window.onload = function () {
document.getElementsByClassName("c")[0].click();
};
$(".c").click(function () {
alert("ok");
});
So you can push your alert into a function :
function callAlert() {
alert('a');
}
And you can change the event click like this :
$(".c").click(callAlert);
Finally you can call the alert function when page loads like this :
$('document').ready(function(){
callAlert(); // call here
});
Code :
$('document').ready(function(){
callAlert();
$(".c").click(callAlert);
});
function callAlert() {
alert('a');
}
I have a script that produces a number of buttons with a class and I want it to alert the data attribute on click but it's not working.
Here is the output of HTML
<button class="request box-button" data-value="18492500814">Request</button>
jQuery code
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.request').each(function () {
var photoID = $(this);
photoID.click(function () {
alert($(this).data('value'));
});
});
});
Since your elements don't exist when the page loads, the event won't be bound to them. Fix that by using event delegation:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('click','.request', function () {
alert($(this).data('value'));
});
});
JS Fiddle demo with dynamically generated elements
Note: Here, I used $(document).on() because I don't have your page's structure. But if you insert the buttons in a container that already exists in your HTML, use this instead: $('#myContainer').on(). It won't be noticeable, but it is best for performance.
Why not just have the listener on request, instead of inside of the loop. Also use the attr to get the data-value
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.request').click(function () {
alert($(this).attr('data-value'));
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="request box-button" data-value="18492500814">Request</button>
Try with attr method.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.request').each(function () {
var photoID = $(this);
photoID.click(function () {
alert($(this).attr('data-value'));
});
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="request box-button" data-value="18492500814">Request</button>
So I need a little bit of help. I'm playing around with addClass and removeClass and I can't seem to remove a class after it's set. What I basically want is:
When someone clicks an h3, it adds to its parent div class
When someone clicks a div with added class, class needs to be removed
First step I got out of way and it's working
$(function(){
$('div h3.itemTitle').on('click', function(){
$(this).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
});
});
Now when I define:
$(function(){
$('div.active').on('click', function(){
$(this).removeClass('active');
});
});
It does nothing, as if it doesn't see classes. It sets only those set in onload...
Help, anyone?
The child element "h3.itemTitle" already had a click event listener on it and the parent can't actually capture the click event.
Your $('div.active').on('click', ...) never actually fires because you click the h3 not the div.
I recommend this approach: http://jsfiddle.net/c3Q6Q/
$('div h3.itemTitle').on('click', function () {
// saves time not to write $(this).parent() everything so i store in a _parent var
var _parent = $(this).parent();
if (_parent.hasClass('active')) {
_parent.removeClass('active');
} else {
_parent.addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
}
});
Try
$('body').on('click','div.active', function(){$(this).removeClass('active');});
Instead of
$('div.active').on('click', function(){$(this).removeClass('active');});
I would go with this way:
$('div').on('click', function(e){
var el = e.target;
if($(el).is('h3') && $(el).hasClass('itemTitle')){
$(this).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
}else if($(el).is('div') && $(el).hasClass('active')){
$(this).removeClass('active');
}
});
Not sure why every is talking about elements generated outside of the initial DOM load.
Here's a JSFiddle showing that it works: http://jsfiddle.net/H25bT/
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.itemTitle').on('click', function() {
$(this).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
});
/* $('.parent').on('click', function() {
$(this).removeClass('active');
}); */
$('.clicky').on('click', function() {
$(this).parent().removeClass('active');
});
});
The reason it's not working for you is that if you put the removeClass click event on the parent div itself, clicking on the child text causes a conflict with which click handler to use, and it won't work out. Code works fine if you don't assign the click to the parent div itself.
I'm using this code to hide a div container where I'm placing text dynamically.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".slidingDiv").hide();
$(".show_hide").show();
$('.show_hide').click(function(){
$(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
});
});
The problem I have is that I want to trigger the show div from a javascript function instead of a predefined click event. I've found this example which mateches the function I want, but I'm not sure how to trigger it from javascript instead of a click function.
JSFiddle Here
just hide the div using css
display:none;
.slidingDiv{
display:none;
}
and show it when ever you want using
.show()
$(".slidingDiv").show();
edit:
after you question edit, you can always trigger the click event programatically like
function yourFunction(){
$(".show_hide").click();
}
At any point in your script you can call the jQuery object with your div's id/class and run the show() function. i.e.
var javascript = "cool";
var foo = "I'm doing stuff";
var bar = "And some more stuff";
if (javascript === "cool")
jQuery(".slidingDiv").show();
else
$(".slidingDiv").show();
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input[type='file']").on("change", function () {
if(this.files[0].size > 1000000) //file size less than 1MB {
{
$("#fileAlert").show(); //calling a bootstrap 4 alert
}
$(this).val('');
}
});
});
</script>
