clicking element in parent window - javascript

i have two windows.
One parent and the second an iframe. When a link is clicked inside of the iframe, i am able to effect the element in the parent window, but only certain things.
I am able to add Class without any problems, but when i want to trigger a click then it won't work.
Here is the working code for adding class:
parent window:
Name1
Name2
Name3
Name4
Name5
Iframe:
<div class="page5">link</div>
<script>
$('.page5').click(function(){
parent.top.$('#page5').addClass('classadded');
});
</script>
But when i try
<script>
$('.page5').click(function(){
parent.top.$('#page5').trigger('click');
});
</script>
nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jan
PS: their both on the same domain

Not a jQuery guy, but based on my testing at http://jsfiddle.net/kB3Jz/4/ , even when within the same frame, trigger is only working with jQuery-attached events, not the default click nor directly-DOM-attached events....
HTML:
Name5
<div class="page5">link</div>
JS:
$('.page5').click(function(){
$('#page5').trigger('click');
});
$('#page5')[0].addEventListener('click', function () {
alert('hello'); // Won't be triggered
});
$('#page5').click(function () {
alert('hello2'); // Will be triggered
});
The docs do say:
"For both plain objects and DOM objects other than window, if a
triggered event name matches the name of a property on the object,
jQuery will attempt to invoke the property as a method if no event
handler calls event.preventDefault()"
...so it would seem trigger should work (since clicking on the DOM object via $('#page5')[0].click() works), but for some reason, it doesn't--maybe it's simply that jQuery's expressed "attempt to invoke" has failed for some reason...
I'd therefore suggest changing window.location via a jQuery-added click handler on #page5

I would try
parent.location = parent.top.$('#page5').attr('href');
or
parent.location = parent.$('#page5').attr('href');

Set a JQuery function on the button HTML declaration

I'm trying to use AJAX loading a set of sucessive pages in a main page, as I show you in the next picture:
I learned (thanks to this community!) to call other pages' content, by assigning the load() function to the onclick event of a button, like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#btn').click(function() {
$('#result').load('./poi-data-no-heading.html');
});
});
But what if I have one button with id="btn" on every page? The functionality of any button with that id will be the same always, because (I think) the document.ready is not triggered when I use the load() method, so it's never replaced with new functionality.
E.g. initial functionality should be navigate from page 1 to page 2, and when page 2 is loaded, the functionality should be to navigate from page 2 to page 3.
As Js developer, I would do the following:
<!-- In the HTML file -->
<button id="btn" onclick="loadContent()">Load</button>
<div id="result"></div>
/* In the JS file */
function loadContent(){
/*the code to retrieve content*/
$('#result').load('http://fiddle.jshell.net/webdevem/JfcJp/show/');
}
This way I could assign the functionality to every button, no matter what's the ID or if the document.ready is triggered. But mixing Js with JQuery is not an option... So, how do you think I should manage to do something similar with JQuery?
Thanks in advance.
P/d: Here is a useful fiddle I used to try ideas: http://jsfiddle.net/gal007/vkcug7t7/1/
You could use the on() event from jQuery, which can listen for events on elements dynamically rendered (you can't do that with the click() method). So in this case you have to listen to the event on a parent element, one that doesn't change with the load method. On that button, use an HTML5 data-* attribute to define the id that you wish to load.
HTML:
<btn id="result" data-load-id="1">Load</btn>
Javascript:
$('#container').on('click', '#result', function() {
var id_to_load = $(this).data('load-id');
load('/url?' + id_to_load);
});
I've updated your fiddle : jsfiddle

jQuery won't bind click to underscore template using .on() for items added via function

I'm using underscore to create some elements and appending them to a div with jQuery.
At the bottom of the page I'm using jQuery's .on() to respond to clicks on the elements.
$('.pickup').on('click',
function(e) {
alert("hello");
}
);
Via some user interaction (in Google maps), I've got to add more elements to the div and want them to respond to clicks as well. For some reason they do not. I've pared it all down on jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/thunderrabbit/3GvPX/
When the page loads, note that clicking on the lines in output will alert('hello') via jQuery.
But click the [add] button and the new lines do not respond to clicks.
My HTML
<div id="unit_2225" class="pickup">
<span>Click me; I was here first</span>
</div>
<script type="text/template" id="unit-template">
<div class="unit-item">
<span class="pickup">
<span>click us (<%= unit_id %>) via underscore</span>
</span>
</div>
</script>
<div id="divID">
</div>
<button>add</button>
My Javascript
var addUnitToDiv = function(key,val) {
console.log(val);
var template = _.template($('#unit-template').html(),val);
$('#divID').append(template);
}
var unit_ids = [{unit_id:'hello'},
{unit_id:'click'},
{unit_id:'us'},
{unit_id:'too'},
{unit_id:112}];
$.each(unit_ids, addUnitToDiv);
var unit_pids = [{unit_id:'we'},
{unit_id:'wont'},
{unit_id:'respond'},
{unit_id:'to'},
{unit_id:'clicks'},
{unit_id:358}];
createMore = function() {
$.each(unit_pids, addUnitToDiv);
}
$('.pickup').on('click','span',function() {
alert("hello");
});
$('button').click(createMore);
I found a similarly worded question but couldn't figure out how to apply its answer here.
Instead of binding events directly to the elements, bind one event to their container element, and delegate it:
$("#divID").on("click", ".pickup", function () {
// Your event handler code
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/3GvPX/3/
In this case, the event handler is only executed for elements inside of the container #divID that have the class "pickup".
And in your scenario, the elements are being added to the element with an id of "divID". Thus, where the two selectors came from.
This is handy because, as you've found out, dynamically adding elements doesn't magically bind event handlers; event handlers bound normally with .on() are only executed (bound) on those present at the time of binding.
It could even help if you change the delegated selector to "span.pickup" (if you know the elements will always be a <span> like in your template), so that the DOM is filtered by the tag name first.
Reference:
http://api.jquery.com/on/#direct-and-delegated-events
Working demo http://jsfiddle.net/u2KjJ/
http://api.jquery.com/on/
The .on() method attaches event handlers to the currently selected set of elements in the jQuery object. You can attach the handler on the document level.
Hope it fits the need, :)
code try the code changed below
$(document).on('click','.pickup',function() {
alert("hello");
});

Why "opener.$(document).trigger('custom')" is not working?

I want to implement simple pub/sub pattern with jQuery.
So I add some code like this on parent page:
Parent page:
$(document).bind('custom', function() { ... });
And it's working fine when I trigger on same page like this:
Same Page:
$(document).trigger('custom'); // Working.
But when I trigger this on popup page, it's not working.
Popup page:
opener.$(document).trigger('custom'); // Not working.
$(opener.document).trigger('custom'); // Not working.
If I bind event to <body> element, it works find.
Parent Page:
$('body').bind('custom', function() { ... });
Popup Page:
opener.$('body').trigger('custom'); // Working.
Why binding to document is not working on Popup?
As #11684 said, the answer to make it work is:
opener.$(opener.document).trigger('custom');
The #Rory's answer:
$(opener.document).trigger('custom');
is not working because the popup's $ doesn't have the event handler of opener.document.
And this one:
opener.$(document).trigger('custom');
is not working because the document is popup's document so it's different from the opener.document.
And lastly,
opener.$('body').trigger('custom');
is working because the opener's $ has event handler and the argument(body) is just string(not a object like document).
You need to place the whole opener.document in to a jQuery object. Try this in the popup:
$(opener.document).trigger('custom');

Basic jQuery Issues on IE9 (Toggle)

I'm not really a developper. I prefer to design my websites ... So, for my actual project, i must developping some "basic" scripts.
I've met a problem with this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("button").click(function toggleDiv(divId) {
$("#"+divId).toggle();
});
;
</script>
Into Head-/Head
LINK
<div> id="myContent">Lorem Ipsum</div>
It works for IE8. (Miracle). But not the others browsers...
The idea is that when u click on "LINK" a windows appears and when you click again, the window close.
Any idea ?
Thanks for u time !
One of the problems is you're mixing two different styles of binding event handlers: one of them is good (the jQuery method), the other is bad (the javascript: protocol in your href attribute) - the two don't work together in any way. Another problem is that your selector is completely incorrect (it's looking for a button) for the HTML you've provided (you never create a button).
I'd suggest using a HTML5 data-* attribute to specify the id for the <div> on your <a> element:
LINK
<div id="mycontent">Lorem ipsum</div>
Then use the following jQuery code:
$('a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // e refers to the event (the click),
// calling preventDefault() will stop you following the link
var divId = $(this).data('divid');
$('#' + divId).toggle();
});
Note that I've used this in the above code; what this refers to depends on the context in which you use it, but in the context of a jQuery event handler callback function, it will always refer to the element that triggered the event (in this case, your <a> element).
If you extract toggleDiv from the handler, it ought to work. You will probably also need to return false to keep the href from trying to go anywhere.
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleDiv(divId) {
$("#"+divId).toggle();
return false;
}
</script>

How to make an <a> tag element to trigger multiple functions with javascript/jquery

There is a link in my webpage, the link itself triggers a function that I could not modify, but I want to make the link, when clicked, also calls another JavaScript function at the same time or preferably after the first function is done. So one click to call two functions...could it be implemented? Thanks
<a title="Next Page" href="javascript:__doPostBack('Booklet1','V4504')">Next</a>
is the sample tag I want to modify, how could make it also call "myFunc" at the same time or preferably after _doPostBack is done.
P.S. the function parameter for _doPostBack such as V4504 is dynamically generated by the ASP user control. So I cannot simply treat it as a static function and bind it with another. I think I could only append some function to it? Unless I parse the whole page first and extract the function name with its current parameters...Since every time I click the link, the parameter such as V4504 changes its value....
Thanks!
You should be able to attach multiple event handlers to a single anchor tag, either with .onclick or .addEventListener('click', function)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.addEventListener
You can attach a handler to an element click event using plain Javascript in such a way:
function hello()
{
alert("Hello!")
}
var element = document.getElementById("YourAElementID");
if (element.addEventListener)
{
element.addEventListener("click", hello, false);
}
else
{
element.attachEvent("onclick", hello);
}
It supprots all common browsers.
Yes, you can do this MANY ways (I use both $(this) and $('identifier') as you don't say how the functions are bound) :
$(this).click(function(){
my_function_1();
my_function2()
});
Or
$('my element').click(function(){
my_function_1();
});
$('my element').click(function(){
my_function_2();
});
Or, if the functions reside on another object:
$(this).click(function(){
my_function_1();
$('#other_element_id').trigger('click'); //there are a bunch of syntaxes for this
});
Sans JQuery, you can use:
var myObj = document.getElementById('element name');
myObj.addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('first!');
});
myObj.addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('second!');
});
Clicking will result in two sequential alert prompts
