I'm trying to get the jquery loadmask addon to work that will mask elements (for loading content). I'm using knockout.js, and when if I mask an element outside of my viewmodel it works, but I want to mask it upon submitting a POST request, and then unmask when I receive it. I'm getting an "object has no method mask" error from this. I'm not quite sure how to go about setting up an object to access it.
This works, but it's not what I want. I noted in the code where I would like to call mask from
<div id = "register_container">
<div data-bind="visible: register()">
<div id = "register_form"> <!--this is the div I want to mask -->>
<button data-bind="click: submitRegistration">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
function MyViewModel(){
self.submitRegistration = function(){
//I want to mask here. When I try it says Object[object object] has no method mask
$.post....{
if(data.result == success){
// andunmask here
}
}
}
}
$("#register_form").mask("Waiting..."); //the masking works when I place it here, but it's always enabled and I want it inside the viewmodel where I noted so it only works when the POST request is in process
That's great and all, but I want to mask something from inside the viewmodel where I noted. How can I accomplish this?
I see several things that could be the problem.
Frist, you're doing assignment as opposed to comparison in the if statement. Use this instead:
if(data.result == success){
or even
if(data.result === success){
Second is the fact that I don't quite understand your code self.submitRegistration(){, which typically looks more like this:
var MyViewModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.submitRegistration = function() {
};
};
Then, if I mock the $.post call, it would work like this:
var MyViewModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.register = ko.observable(true);
self.submitRegistration = function() {
$("#register_form").mask("Waiting...");
// Mock $.post
window.setTimeout(function () {
if (1 == 1) {
// andunmask here
$("#register_form").unmask();
}
}, 3000);
}
};
ko.applyBindings(new MyViewModel());
See this fiddle for a demo.
You could even have Knockout help you find the element to look for:
See this updated fiddle for a demo of that.
// Use the "event" parameter to find the element...
self.submitRegistration = function(data, event) {
$(event.target).closest('#register_form').mask("Waiting...");
Hope it helps.

Previously I had this code that was working to spoof a click event in a knockout method.
self.addProductToCart = function(data) {
var $productNotification = $(".product-notification");
ax.Cart.addCartItem({product_id:data.id, name:data.name, description:data.description});
$productNotification.slideDown(1000).fadeOut(200, function() { $('#cart-nav a.first').click();});};
Now they want to use css3 to animate so I took that the slideDown method out and replaced it with this and it's not working. I am probably missing something stupid here. Thank you
self.addProductToCart = function(data) {
var $productNotification = $(".product-notification");
ax.Cart.addCartItem({product_id:data.id, name:data.name, description:data.description});
$('body').addClass("test");
(function() { $('#cart-nav a.first').click();});};
As Roy J stated in the comments, you have an anonymous function that is not executing. It doesn't even appear that the anonymous function is necessary. Try changing this line:
(function() { $('#cart-nav a.first').click();});};
To this:
$('#cart-nav a.first').click();
I'm trying to create a simple click catcher where if you click .image-class the javascript will take the href from another element with a class name of .btn and send you to it's destination. Though I keep getting errors on lines 7 & 10 saying that undefined is not a function. How do I make this work?
<script>
var ClickCatcher=
{
init:function(){
var link = jQuery('.btn')[1].href;
var imgCatch = jQuery('.image-class');
imgCatch.addEventListener("click", ClickCatcher.clickListener, false);
},
clickListener:function(){
window.location = link;
}
};
ClickCatcher.init();
</script>
You can do this with jquery with a simple click event
jQuery('.image-class').on('click', function (){
window.location = jQuery('.btn').eq(1).attr('href');
});
But if you still want to write in the way you have you can do:
var ClickCatcher = {
init: function () {
jQuery('.image-class').on('click', function (){
window.location = jQuery('.btn').eq(1).attr('href');
});
}
};
ClickCatcher.init();
Just make sure to fire the init method after dom load.
update: One issue with it is that you have coded your target etc in the code rather then pass it, so its going to be hard to reuse, you'd be better off doing:
var ClickCatcher = {
init: function ($button, loc) {
$button.on('click', function (){
window.location = loc;
});
}
};
ClickCatcher.init(jQuery('.image-class'), jQuery('.btn').eq(1).attr('href'));
That way the internal working is seperate from the dom (as you are passing the dom dependencies to the function.
#atmd showed a very good way of doing this. If you just want to know what your mistake was though. It is wa an error in your jQuery stament to get the btn href
jQuery('.btn')[1].href
you need to call the attr function and then get the href attr. and use .eq(1) to reduce the set to the first btn
jQuery('.btn').eq(1).attr('href);
Hi all thanks for taking a look.
I am trying to call a javascript function when I click on the update button.
Here is the javascript
var text2Array = function() {
// takes the value from the text area and loads it to the array variable.
alert("test");
}
and the html
<button id="update" onclick="text2Array()">Update</button>
if you would like to see all the code check out this jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/runningman24/wAPNU/24/
I have tried to make the function global, no luck, I can get the alert to work from the html, but for some reason it won't call the function???
You have an error in the declaration of the pswdBld function in your JavaScript.
...
var pswdBld() = function() {
---^^---
...
This is causing a syntax error and avoiding the load of your JavaScript file.
See the corrected version.
Also, you may consider binding the event and not inlining it.
<button id="update">Update</button>
var on = function(e, types, fn) {
if (e.addEventListener) {
e.addEventListener(types, fn, false);
} else {
e.attachEvent('on' + types, fn);
}
};
on(document.getElementById("update"), "click", text2Array);
See it live.
In your fiddle, in the drop-down in the top left, change "onLoad" to "no wrap (head)"
Then change
var text2Array = function()
var pswdBld() = function()
to
function text2Array()
function pswdBld()
and it will alert as expected.
You have a syntax error in the line below..
var pswdBld() = function
^--- Remove this
supposed to be
var pswdBld = function
Also make sure you are calling this script just at the end of the body tag..
Because you are using Function Expressions and not Function Declaration
var pwsdBld = function() // Function Expression
function pwsdBld() // Function Declaration

I have a problem with my variable scope in a simple slider script that I´ve written (I don't want to use a readymade solution because of low-bandwidth). The slider script is called on statically loaded pages (http) as well as on content loaded through AJAX. On the statically loaded page (so no AJAX) the script seems to work perfect. However when called through AJAX the methods called can't find the elements of the DOM, which halts the necessay animation that is needed for the slider.
All the events are handled through even delegation (using jQuery's on() function), this however provided no solution. I'm quite sure it has something to do with the structure and variable scope of the script, but am unable to determine how to change the structure. So I'm looking for a solution that works in both situations (called normal or through AJAX).
I tried to declare the needed variables in every function, this however resulted in some akward bugs, like the multiplication of the intervals I set for the animation, because of the function scope. Hope somebody can help me in the right direction.
// Slider function
(function (window, undefined) {
var console = window.console || undefined, // Prevent a JSLint complaint
doc = window.document,
Slider = window.Slider = window.Slider || {},
$doc = $(doc),
sliderContainer = doc.getElementById('slider_container'),
$sliderContainer = $(sliderContainer),
$sliderContainerWidth = $sliderContainer.width(),
slider = doc.getElementById('slider'),
$slider = $(slider),
$sliderChildren = $slider.children(),
$slideCount = $sliderChildren.size(),
$sliderWidth = $sliderContainerWidth * $slideCount;
$sliderControl = $(doc.getElementById('slider_control')),
$prevButton = $(doc.getElementById('prev')),
$nextButton = $(doc.getElementById('next')),
speed = 2000,
interval,
intervalSpeed = 5000,
throttle = true,
throttleSpeed = 2000;
if (sliderContainer == null) return; // If slider is not found on page return
// Set widths according to the container and amount of children
Slider.setSliderWidth = function () {
$slider.width($sliderWidth);
$sliderChildren.width($sliderContainerWidth);
};
// Does the animation
Slider.move = function (dir) {
// Makes use of variables such as $sliderContainer, $sliderContainer width, etc.
};
// On ajax call
$doc.on('ajaxComplete', document, function () {
Slider.setSliderWidth();
});
// On doc ready
$(document).ready(function () {
Slider.setSliderWidth();
interval = window.setInterval('Slider.move("right")', intervalSpeed);
});
// Handler for previous button
$doc.on('click', '#prev', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
Slider.move('left');
});
// Handler for next button
$doc.on('click', '#next', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
Slider.move('right');
});
// Handler for clearing the interval on hover and showing next and pervious button
$doc.on('hover', '#slider_container', function (e) {
if (e.type === 'mouseenter') {
window.clearInterval(interval);
$sliderControl.children().fadeIn(400);
}
});
// Handler for resuming the interval and fading out the controls
$doc.on('hover', '#slider_control', function (e) {
if (e.type !== 'mouseenter') {
interval = window.setInterval('Slider.move("right")', intervalSpeed);
$sliderControl.children().fadeOut(400);
}
});
})(window);
The HTML example structure:
<div id="slider_control">
<a id="next" href="#next"></a>
<a id="prev" href="#prev"></a>
</div>
<div id="slider_container">
<ul id="slider">
<li style="background-color:#f00;">1</li>
<li style="background-color:#282">2</li>
<li style="background-color:#ff0">3</li>
</ul>
</div>
I notice you have
Slider.setSliderWidth = function() {
$slider.width($sliderWidth);
$sliderChildren.width($sliderContainerWidth);
};
which is called on ajax complete.
Does you ajax update the DOM giving a new DOM element that you could get to by doc.getElementById('slider')? Then your var slider and jquery var $slider are likely pointing to things that no longer exist (even if there is a dom element with slider as the id). To rectify, whenever the ajax is invoked that replaces that element, reinitialize slider and $slider to point to the new jquery wrapped element using the same initialization you have.
slider = doc.getElementById('slider');
$slider = $(slider);
Edit:
I'm not sure where you're going with the variable scope issue, but take a look at this example.
<pre>
<script>
(function(){
var a = "something";
function x (){
a += "else";
}
function y() {
a = "donut";
}
function print (){
document.write(a +"\n");
}
print ();
x();
print ();
y();
print ();
x();
print ();
})();
document.write(typeof(a) + "\n");
</script>
</pre>
It outputs into the pre tag
something
somethingelse
donut
donutelse
undefined
This isn't all that different from what you're already doing. As long as a is not a parameter of a method and is not declared with var in a nested scope, all references to a in code defined within your function(window,undefined){ ...} method will refer to that a, given that a is defined locally by var to that method. Make sense?
To begin, surely you can replace all the getElementById using a jQuery approach. i.e. replace $(doc.getElementById('next')) with $('#next')
I think that when you use on it doesn't search the element for the selector as you are assuming. So you would have to use:
$doc.on('click', '#slider_control #prev',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
Slider.move('left');
});
Wait, what gets loaded through Ajax? The slider-html code? In that case, the Slider has already been 'created' and a lot of your variables will point to nowhere (because these DOM elements did not existed when the variables were initialized). And they will never do so either.
I'm writing a simple jQuery plugin, but I'm having trouble being able to use multiple instances on a page.
For instance, here is a sample plugin to illustrate my point:
(function($) {
$.fn.samplePlugin = function(options) {
if (typeof foo != 'undefined')
{
alert('Already defined!');
} else {
var foo = 'bar';
}
};
})(jQuery);
And then if I do this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#myDiv').samplePlugin({}); // does nothing
$('#myDiv2').samplePlugion({}); // alerts "Already defined!"
});
This is obviously an over-simplified example to get across the point. So my question is, how do I have two separate instances of the plugin? I'd like to be able to use it across multiple instances on the same page.
I'm guessing that part of the problem might be with defining the variables in a global scope. How can I define them unique to that instance of the plugin then?
Thank you for your guidance!
I have the very same problem but i find a very handy solution i´ll post it for someone who may have this problem
when you define your variables insinde the plugin you could use the .data() to store all the variables you define
like this
(function($) {
$.fn.samplePlugin = function(options) {
var base = this;
this.foo // define foo
// do stuff with foo and other variables
// Add a reverse reference to the DOM object
this.data("pluginname", base);
};})(jQuery);
And when you want to use the same foo variable you should retrive the reference with this:
base = this.data("pluginname");
base.foo
Hope it helps

html:
<code class="resize1">resize1</code>
<code class="resize2">resize2</code>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/plugins.js"></script>
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.resize1').ratiofix({message:'resize1'});
$('.resize2').ratiofix({message:'resize2'});
});
</script>
I have found 2 solutions - the first one is jquery widget factory
http://jqueryui.com/widget/
js code:
$.widget("custom.ratiofix",{
options:{
message:"nothing"
},
_create:function (){
var self=this;
this.setListeners();
},
setListeners:function (){
var self=this;
$(window).on('resize',$.proxy(self.printMsg,self));
},
printMsg:function (){
console.log(this.options.message);
}
});
And the second (without widget factory):
(function ($){
var Ratiofix = {
init: function(options, elem) {
this.options = $.extend({},this.options,options);
this.elem = elem;
this.$elem = $(elem);
this.setListeners();
return this;
},
options: {
message: "No message"
},
printMsg: function(){
console.log(this.options.message);
},
setListeners:function (){
var self=this;
this.$elem.on('click',function (){
console.log(self.options.message);
});
$(window).on('resize',$.proxy(self.printMsg, self));
}
};
$.fn.ratiofix=function (options){
this.init= function(options, elem) {
this.options = $.extend({},this.options,options);
this.elem = elem;
this.$elem = $(elem);
return this;
};
if ( this.length ) {
return this.each(function(){
var ratiofix = Object.create(Ratiofix);
ratiofix.init(options, this);
$.data(this, 'ratiofix', ratiofix);
});
}
};
})(jQuery);
In both cases plugins work separately and have own settings. In my case - 2 widgets listen to window resize and print to console own options.message
I'm not sure what you mean by having more than one instance of a plugin. A plugin would be available to use on any element.
This comment doesn't clarify much for me:
So say that it was a plugin that took
a "color" parameter and turned the
object into that color. Well, in that
case you'd need multiple instances, as
you're dealing with more than one page
element turning more than one color.
In this case, you would pass in different colors are arguments as needed:
$('div#foo').makeColor('red');
$('div#bar').makeColor('blue');
Each time you call the plugin, it will use whatever arguments you give it. The plugin isn't a class that needs instances.
Just throwing my solution in here:
(function ($){
$.fn.plugin = function (options){
var settings = $.extend({}, $.fn.plugin.defaults, options);
settings.that = $(this);
$.fn.plugin.init (settings);
};
$.fn.plugin.defaults = { objval: 'default' };
$.fn.plugin.init = function (settings){
settings.that.val (settings.objval);
};
}( jQuery ));
$('#target1').plugin ({objval: 'not default'});
$('#target2').plugin ();
DEMO
The settings variable is isolated every time you initialize the object.
To answer your question directly, you can use jQuery.noconflict() to avoid namespace collisions and thus potentially have multiple instantiations on a page..
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via $j(...)
$j(document).ready(function() {
// etc
check here
But I question your design. Why are you writing a plugin that appears to not operate on a jQuery wrapped set ? .. Plugins should be written to assume they are operating on a jQuery array held in 'this'. In which case any state can be stored in each of the items being acted upon... But maybe you are building something different?
Please review this page
instead of writing this
$("#divid1").samplePlugin();
$("#divid2").samplePlugin();
you can do this way
$.plugin('samplePlugin1', samplePlugin);
$("#divid1").samplePlugin1();
$.plugin('samplePlugin2', samplePlugin);
$("#divid2").samplePlugin2();
You can have much details from here
http://alexsexton.com/?p=51
You need to use this.foo instead of var foo, so that the variable is only related to the current object.
This worked a treat for me! I had specific parameters for which pages/places I wanted to run a plugin and was able to achieve success by using a simple if statement. Hope this helps someone!

I had the same problem : how to use many instances of a plugin on only one form ?
The usual way fails because in fact, the instance is not an instance of the plugin : it is an instance of jQuery.
So, if more than one element is defined to be managed by a plugin, each definition overrides the previous parameters.
It was necessary to have a look on the problem from another side.
A plugin is usually made to react on a specific event for a specific element. e.g.. onclick on a button, or when the mouse is over the element.
In my case, I had to use an autocomplete plugin for a city field, but my form has 5 tabs and in total 4 fields for the cities for 4 different parts of the information to be collected.
For each fields, parameters are specifics.
By the way, I've realised iI don't need to have the plugin active everytime : just on the appropriate event on the field is enough.
So I had an idea : an event manager for each element. When the event appends, so I define the plugin action.
Some code will be more efficient to explain : imagine you have 3 div blocks and your plugin must change the colours, but with specifics colours depending on which div is affected.
$(document).ready(function(){
// Wich elements are affected by the plugin
var ids = ['myDiv1','myDiv2','myDiv3'];
// foe each one :
for (v in ids)
{
//define from an event :
$('#'+ ids[v]).focus(function()
{
// depending which id is active :
var aParams, idDiv = $(this).attr('id');
// Choosing the right params
switch(idDiv)
{
case 'myDiv1':
aParams = {'color': '#660000', 'background-color': '#0000ff'};
break;
case 'myDiv2':
aParams = {'color': '#006600', 'background-color': '#ff00ff'};
break;
case 'myDiv3':
aParams = {'color': '#000066', 'background-color': '#ff0000'};
break;
default:
aParams = {'color': '#000000', 'background-color': '#ffffff'};
};
// Defining the plugin on the right element with the right params
$(this).myPlugin(
{
colors: aParams
});
});
}
});
And this works fine.
Sorry if my English is not perfect - I hope you understand well.
