Place 15 seconds delay in a jQuery script

I have a script that closes an iframe after a click it.
I need that when you click on the link inside the iframe has delay 15 seconds to load a page within the iframe and after 15 seconds the iframe automatically closes.
$(window).on('blur',function(e) {
if($(this).data('mouseIn') != 'yes')return;
$('iframe').filter(function(){
return $(this).data('mouseIn') == 'yes';
}).trigger('iframeclick');
});
$(window).mouseenter(function(){
$(this).data('mouseIn', 'yes');
}).mouseleave(function(){
$(this).data('mouseIn', 'no');
});
$('iframe').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).data('mouseIn', 'yes');
$(window).data('mouseIn', 'yes');
}).mouseleave(function(){
$(this).data('mouseIn', null);
});
$('iframe').on('iframeclick', function(){
$(this).hide()
});
$('<input type="text" style="position:absolute;opacity:0;height:0px;width:0px;"/>').appendTo(document.body).blur(function(){
$(window).trigger('blur');
}).focus();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<iframe style="width:400px;
height:250px;" src="//example.com"></iframe>

If you want to stick to Jquery you can use .delay()
http://api.jquery.com/delay/
To wait 15 seconds before the iframe close, you should do this :
$('iframe').on('iframeclick', function(){
$(this).delay(15000).hide();
}
In a simple way, you put a delay of 15s before the "hide" action

You are looking for the setTimeout() method. You can find how to use it here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp.
In your case would be something like (this can be optimized, take out global var etc.):
globalVar = null;
function closeIframe() {
globalVar.hide();
}
$('iframe').on('iframeclick', function(){
globalVar = $(this);
setTimeout("closeIframe()", 15000);
});

Use good old setTimeout:
var timeoutValue = 15000; /*ms*/
setTimeout(function(){...}, timeoutValue);
which in you case could look like:
var close = function(element){element.hide();};
$('iframe').on('iframeclick', function(){
var timeoutValue = 15000;
var context = $(this);
setTimeout(function(){close(context)}, timeoutValue);
});

Binding event listeners to elements inside the iframe will only work if both the parent site and the iframe are on the same domain. If the contents of the iframe is on a different domain, you won't be able to perform this as it is classed as "click-jacking", which is a big security threat. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy
If the iframe is on the same domain then you can add the event listener inside the iframe and then call the parent to notify the event.
You can also grab the contents and find the element you want to bind the event handler on.
$("iframe#name").contents().find(".link").on("click", function() {
$("iframe#name").delay(15000).hide();
});

I used sleep () function and solved my problem!

Using jquery to control the iframe URL [duplicate]

I have an iframe on a page, coming from a 3rd party (an ad). I'd like to fire a click event when that iframe is clicked in (to record some in-house stats). Something like:
$('#iframe_id').click(function() {
//run function that records clicks
});
..based on HTML of:
<iframe id="iframe_id" src="http://something.com"></iframe>
I can't seem to get any variation of this to work. Thoughts?

There's no 'onclick' event for an iframe, but you can try to catch the click event of the document in the iframe:
document.getElementById("iframe_id").contentWindow.document.body.onclick =
function() {
alert("iframe clicked");
}
EDIT
Though this doesn't solve your cross site problem, FYI jQuery has been updated to play well with iFrames:
$('#iframe_id').on('click', function(event) { });
Update 1/2015
The link to the iframe explanation has been removed as it's no longer available.
Note
The code above will not work if the iframe is from different domain than the host page. You can still try to use hacks mentioned in comments.

I was trying to find a better answer that was more standalone, so I started to think about how JQuery does events and custom events. Since click (from JQuery) is just any event, I thought that all I had to do was trigger the event given that the iframe's content has been clicked on. Thus, this was my solution
$(document).ready(function () {
$("iframe").each(function () {
//Using closures to capture each one
var iframe = $(this);
iframe.on("load", function () { //Make sure it is fully loaded
iframe.contents().click(function (event) {
iframe.trigger("click");
});
});
iframe.click(function () {
//Handle what you need it to do
});
});
});

Try using this : iframeTracker jQuery Plugin, like that :
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('.iframe_wrap iframe').iframeTracker({
blurCallback: function(){
// Do something when iframe is clicked (like firing an XHR request)
}
});
});

It works only if the frame contains page from the same domain (does
not violate same-origin policy)
See this:
var iframe = $('#your_iframe').contents();
iframe.find('your_clicable_item').click(function(event){
console.log('work fine');
});

You could simulate a focus/click event by having something like the following.
(adapted from $(window).blur event affecting Iframe)
$(window).blur(function () {
// check focus
if ($('iframe').is(':focus')) {
console.log("iframe focused");
$(document.activeElement).trigger("focus");// Could trigger click event instead
}
else {
console.log("iframe unfocused");
}
});
//Test
$('#iframe_id').on('focus', function(e){
console.log(e);
console.log("hello im focused");
})

None of the suggested answers worked for me. I solved a similar case the following way:
<iframe id="iframe_id" src="http://something.com" allowtrancparency="yes" frameborder="o"></iframe>
The css (of course exact positioning should change according to the app requirements):
#iframe-wrapper, iframe#iframe_id {
width: 162px;
border: none;
height: 21px;
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
left: 398px;
}
#alerts-wrapper {
z-index: 1000;
}
Of course now you can catch any event on the iframe-wrapper.

You can use this code to bind click an element which is in iframe.
jQuery('.class_in_iframe',jQuery('[id="id_of_iframe"]')[0].contentWindow.document.body).on('click',function(){
console.log("triggered !!")
});

This will allow you to target a specfic element in the iframe such as button or text fields or practically anything as on method allows you to put selector as an argument
$(window).load(function(){
$("#ifameid").contents().on('click' , 'form input' , function(){
console.log(this);
});
});

Maybe somewhat old but this could probably be useful for people trying to deal with same-domain-policy.
let isOverIframe = null;
$('iframe').hover(function() {
isOverIframe = true;
}, function() {
isOverIframe = false;
});
$(window).on('blur', function() {
if(!isOverIframe)
return;
// ...
});
Based on https://gist.github.com/jaydson/1780598

You may run into some timing issues depending on when you bind the click event but it will bind the event to the correct window/document. You would probably get better results actually binding to the iframe window though. You could do that like this:
var iframeWin = $('iframe')[0].contentWindow;
iframeWin.name = 'iframe';
$(iframeWin).bind('click', function(event) {
//Do something
alert( this.name + ' is now loaded' );
});

This may be interesting for ppl using Primefaces (which uses CLEditor):
document.getElementById('form:somecontainer:editor')
.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow
.document.onclick = function(){//do something}
I basically just took the answer from Travelling Tech Guy and changed the selection a bit .. ;)

Solution that work for me :
var editorInstance = CKEDITOR.instances[this.editorId];
editorInstance.on('focus', function(e) {
console.log("tadaaa");
});

You can solve it very easily, just wrap that iframe in wrapper, and track clicks on it.
Like this:
<div id="iframe_id_wrapper">
<iframe id="iframe_id" src="http://something.com"></iframe>
</div>
And disable pointer events on iframe itself.
#iframe_id { pointer-events: none; }
After this changes your code will work like expected.
$('#iframe_id_wrapper').click(function() {
//run function that records clicks
});

Javascript - JQuery - clearInterval/setInterval - iframe cycle won't stop on click

I'm fairly new to Javascript in general, and I cobbled together a small script from things found mostly on this site to try to get a small iframe to cycle through a bunch of links, which it does brilliantly. However, I also want it to stop cycling when the user clicks on the iframe or any of its contents.
Here is the code I have so far. There is only one iframe on the HTML page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
<!--
var sites = [
"side/html5.html",
"side/silverlight.html",
"side/wordpress.html",
"side/mysql.html",
"side/php.html",
"side/css3.html"
];
var currentSite = sites.length;
var timerId;
var iframeDoc = $("iframe").contents().get(0);
$(document).ready(function ()
{
var $iframe = $("iframe").attr("src","side/html5.html");
timerId = setInterval(function()
{
(currentSite == 0) ? currentSite = sites.length - 1 : currentSite = currentSite -1;
$iframe.attr("src",sites[currentSite]);
}, 4000);
$(iframeDoc).bind('click', function()
{
clearInterval(timerId);
});
});
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<sidebar>
<iframe name="sideframe" src="side/html5.html"></iframe>
</sidebar> ..etc..
Please help, I am trying to learn Javascript as fast as I can but as far as I can see, it should work, but it really doesn't.
Thanks for any help you can give me, it's really appreciated.
EDIT:
Okay, I've got a new script now, mostly based off of Elias' work, but it doesn't work either. I've pinned it down in Firebug and it's saying that the timerCallback.currentSite value IS updating properly, though I can't find the $iframe's src value to check for it explicitly. As far as I can tell, it is updating the variables properly, it's just not updating the iframe properly. Am I calling/setting the iframe correctly in this code? Also, is the linked in jquery library sufficient for my purposes? I'm a little lost of all these libraries to link to...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
<!--
var sites =
[
"side/html5.html",
"side/silverlight.html",
"side/wordpress.html",
"side/mysql.html",
"side/php.html",
"side/css3.html"
];
var $iframe = $("iframe").attr("src","side/html5.html");
function timerCallback()
{
timerCallback.currentSite = (timerCallback.currentSite ? timerCallback.currentSite : sites.length) -1;
$iframe.attr("src",sites[timerCallback.currentSite]);
$($('iframe').contents().get('body')).ready(function()
{
$(this).unbind('click').bind('click',function()
{
var theWindow = (window.location !== window.parent.location ? window.parent : window);
theWindow.clearInterval(theWindow.timerId);
});
});
}
var timerId = setInterval(timerCallback, 4000);
//-->
</script>

If I were you, I'd play it safe. Since you say you're fairly new to JS, it might prove very informative.
function timerCallback()
{
timerCallback.currentSite = (timerCallback.currentSite ? timerCallback.currentSite : sites.length) -1;
$iframe.attr("src",sites[timerCallback.currentSite]);
}
var timerId = setInterval(timerCallback, 4000);
$($('iframe').contents().get('body')).unbind('click').bind('click', function()
{
var theWindow = (window.location !== window.parent.location ? window.parent : window);
theWindow.clearInterval(theWindow.timerId);
});
Now I must admit that this code is not tested, at all. Though I think it provides a couple of things to get you on your way:
1) the interval is set using a callback function, because it's just better for tons of reasons
1b) in that Callback, I took advantage of the fact that functions are objects, and created a static var, that is set to either the length of your sites array (when undefined or 0), in both cases 1 is substracted
2) jQuery's ,get() method returns a DOM element, not a jquery object, that's why I wrapped it in $(), a new jQ obj, giving you the methods you need.
3) since you're manipulating the dom inside the iFrame, it's best to unbind events you want to bind
4) inside the iFrame, you don't have direct access to the parent window, where your interval is.
You might want to read up on how to deal with iFrames, because they can be a bit of a faff from time to time
EDIT:
David Diez is right, easiest way around this is to incorporate the binding in the timeout function:
function timerCallback()
{
timerCallback.currentSide = ...//uncanged
//add this:
$($('iframe').contents().get('body')).ready(function()
{
$(this).unbind('click').bind('click',function()
{
//this needn't change
});
});
}
In theory, this should bind the click event to the body after it has been loaded
Edit2
I've been messing around a bit, you could keep your code, as is. just add a function:
function unsetInterval()
{
window.clearInterval(window.timerId);
}
and add this to your setInterval function:
$('#idOfIframe').load(function()
{
var parentWindow = window.parent;
$('body').on('click',function()
{
parentWindow.clearInterval();
});
});
this will get triggered as soon as the iFrame content is loaded, and bind the click event and unset the timer, like you wanted to

I think your code is not working because of this
var iframeDoc = $("iframe").contents().get(0);
This could be getting the header of the iFrame because you are saving the iframeDoc value to the first child of the iframe, the head tag, actually if you have more than 1 iframe in your window iframeDoc would be undefined because $("iframe") gets all the iframes of your document.
BTW your currentSite value condition is wrong, you asign the same value for both conditions
Now I give you an example:
<iframe id="myFrame" src="http://www.google.com/"></iframe>
and the script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sites = [
"site1",
"site2"
];
var myFrame = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0];
var currentSite = myFrame.getAttribute('src');
var timerId;
var myFrameDoc = window.frames[0].document;
$(document).ready(function()
{
myFrame.setAttribute('src', 'side/html5.html');
timerId = setInterval(function()
{
//WRONGG
(currentSite == 0) ? currentSite = sites.length - 1 : currentSite = currentSite -1;
myFrame.setAttribute('src', sites[currentSite]);
$(myFrame).off("click").on("click", clearInterval(timerId));
}, 4000);
//Won't work because you are trying to get events from an inside of a iframe
//$(myFrameDoc).on("click", clearInterval(timerId));
//This may work
$(myFrameDoc).off("click").on("click", clearInterval(timerId));
});
</script>
When you try to track the events of an iframe you have to be carefull because an iframe contains a totally different document for javascript purprouses so basically you have to get inside the new document, unbind the events you need to use, and bind them again against your functionality, as #Elias points out. but be aware that you are changing constantly the src of your iframe, so if yu really need to do that you will have to separate the code that unbinds and binds again your clearInterval, and for that matter maybe $.on() could work for you.
EDIT: Calling to the iframe should work this way IF the src of the iframe is inside the same domain, with the same port and with the same protocol:
var myFrameDoc = window.frames[0].document;
I Added a new variable because we want to bind and unbind the click event to the iframe's document, not to the iframe, we use for that the window.frames collection property, but modern browsers throw an exception and denies acces if you try to access to a frame and you are not on the same domain with using the same port and the same protocol...
Additionaly the use of $.on() and $.off() instead of $.bind and $.unbind() is because the first ones are the new ones and despite we are not using it here, they are capable of watch constantly the DOM for new elements to bind if added; that could be useful to this case if this code still doesn't work. If that is the case you can still change this:
var myFrameDoc = window.frames[0].window;
and this:
$(myFrameDoc).off("click", "document").on("click", "document", clearInterval(timerId));
This will re-bind the event handler to new documents additions. Not tested but could work.

Create a dual function html Url Link?

Problem:
You have a regular set of URL links in a HTML page e.g.:
Foo Bar
You want to create a JavaScript function such that when any HTML links are clicked, instead of the client's browser navigating to that new URL "/foo/bar" a JavaScript function is executed instead (e.g. this may for example make an Ajaxian call and load the HTML data without the need to reload the page).
However if the JavaScript is disabled OR a spider crawls the site, the UTL links are maintained gracefully.
Is this possible? Does it already exist? What's the usual approach?
EDIT 1:
These are some great answers!
Just a follow on question:
If the user clicks on the back button OR forward button, this would naturally break (as in it would go back to the last physical page it was on as opposed to one that was loaded).
Is there any way (cross browser) to maintain the back/forward buttons?
(e.g create an array of links clicked and over ride the browser buttons and use the array to navigate)?

<script type="text/javascript">
function your_function() {
alert('clicked!');
}
</script>
<a onclick="your_function();" href="/foo/bar">Foo Bar</a>
If Javascript is off, the link behaves normally.
In this case, unless your_function() does not return false, the link will be followed when clicked as well.
To prevent this, either make your_function() return false, or add return false; just after the function call in your onclick attribute:
<script type="text/javascript">
function your_function() {
alert('clicked!');
return false;
}
</script>
<a onclick="your_function();" href="/foo/bar">Foo Bar</a>
Or:
<script type="text/javascript">
function your_function() {
alert('clicked!');
}
</script>
<a onclick="your_function(); return false;" href="/foo/bar">Foo Bar</a>
Using element.addEventListener()
With default anchor behaviour following click:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener("load", function() {
document.getElementById("your_link").addEventListener("click", function() {
alert('clicked');
}, true);
}, true);
</script>
<a id="your_link" href="/foo/bar">Foo Bar</a>
Without:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener("load", function() {
document.getElementById("your_link").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert('clicked');
}, true);
}, false);
</script>
<a id="your_link" href="/foo/bar">Foo Bar</a>

Given current HTML and W3C APIs, I would go for:
<script src="linkify.js"> </script>
in the markup, with linkify.js containing something like:
window.onload= function() {
document.addEventListener('click', function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var el = ev.target;
if (el.tagName === 'A') {
// do stuff with el.href
}
}, false);
};
See e.g. http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/nrC7G/, or http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/6necb/ for a version which doesn't use window.onload.
Note that this code uses a single listener function registered on the document object, which will act on every <A> tag on the page that doesn't trap clicks for itself.

Use an onclick attribute:
click?
The return false prevents the default behaviour, in the absence of JavaScript, however, the link will be followed.

function do_whatever (e)
{
e.preventDefault ();
// do whatever you want with e.target
}
var links = document.getElementsByTagName ("a");
for (var i=0; i<links.length; ++i)
links[i].addEventListener ('click', do_whatever);
http://jsfiddle.net/bTuN7/
All done inside script and it won't 'hurt' if JavaScript doesn't work.
If you think about AJAX, then you have to know, that googlebot tries to parse it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qGGBYd51Ts

You can code like:
$('a').click(function() {
doSomethingWithURL($(this).attr('href'));
return false;
});
JavaScript is not executed in case it's disabled or if it's some web crawler, so from my point of view this is preferable.

There's quite a few methods out there such as this:
http://www.malbecmedia.com/blog/development/coding-a-ajax-site-that-degrades-gracefully-with-jquery/
Remember, though, that by virtue of a well setup server and caching you're not going to gain yourself much performance with an Ajax Load.

How to run a function when iframe src changes?

How can i run a function when the src of an iframe is changed? The iframe displays a site that is not on my server... When the user clicks on or presses a button inside the iframe, i'd like to perform a function to test whether the src has changed...

You have no access to the button inside the iframe if it's on a different domain so you can't use the "click" event. The only solution is to use the "load" event on the iframe:
<iframe src=".." onLoad="alert('new page loaded');"></iframe>
The load event will be triggered immediately when the page in the iframe has been loaded and then again when the other page (after changing the src) has been loaded. Then you can compare the first src (store it in a variable at the begin) with the current one and if they are different it means that the src has been changed.

Let's replace the onload function with ours. Don't forget to also call their onload function
function letswatch() {
var myIframe = document.getElementById("myIframe");
var oldonload = myIframe.onload;
if (typeof myIframe.onload != 'function') {
myIframe.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
oldonload();
func();
}
}
}
Our function:
function func() {
alert("changed");
}
Please watch a working example at:
http://jsbin.com/uzucu4/2

I'm relatively sure you cannot see when that happens.
