jQuery group of checkbox issue

I have two group of checkbox newBuilding & oldBuilding.
Idea over here is I can select checkbox only one of the group.
In each group there is checkbox name other area, so I when click on it, it will show and hide textbox next to it.
Now to achieve first point, lets for example that already we have oldBuilding checkboxes are checked and I if I click one of the newBuilding checkbox then it will remove the check from oldBuilding group but newBuilding checkbox will not get checked but just get focus, I have to click again to check.
What I found out that above issue happen when I call trigger event. How can I overcome the issue
Code for other area
$("#chkOldBuildingOtherAreas").change(function () {
if ($("#chkOldBuildingOtherAreas").is(":checked"))
$("#txOldOtherAreas").show();
else
$("#txOldOtherAreas").hide();
});
$("#chkNewBuildingOtherAreas").change(function () {
if ($("#chkNewBuildingOtherAreas").is(":checked"))
$("#txNewOtherAreas").show();
else
$("#txNewOtherAreas").hide();
});
Code for removing check mark from other groups
$("input[name='oldBuilding']").change(function () {
if ($("input[name='newBuilding']:checked").length > 0) {
$("input[name='newBuilding']").removeAttr('checked');
$("#chkNewBuildingOtherAreas").trigger("change");
}
});
$("input[name='newBuilding']").change(function () {
if ($("input[name='oldBuilding']:checked").length > 0) {
$("input[name='oldBuilding']").removeAttr('checked');
$("#chkOldBuildingOtherAreas").trigger("change");
}
});
My jsfiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/milindsaraswala/wchrwjnx/

https://jsfiddle.net/1ny36nwL/4/
var groups = ['.oldGroup', '.newGroup'];
$(groups.join(',')).find('input[type=text]').hide();
function resetGroup(selector) {
//clear and hide texts
$('input[type=text]', selector).val('').hide();
//uncheck boxes
$('input[type=checkbox]', selector).removeAttr('checked');
}
$("input[name='oldBuilding']").change(function(e) {
if (this.id == 'chkOldBuildingOtherAreas') {
$("#txOldOtherAreas").toggle();
}
resetGroup('.newGroup');
});
$("input[name='newBuilding']").change(function(e) {
if (this.id == 'chkNewBuildingOtherAreas') {
$("#txNewOtherAreas").toggle();
}
resetGroup('.oldGroup');
});
as you can see I added groups var which can contain multiple groups (not only two), but code need to be changed a little more for that to work
you need to detect id/class of current group by something like $(this).closest('.form-group').id and reset every group except current group. in that way you can leave only one change function which will be universal
oh and you also need to add some class for checkbox that contain text input, and if that checkbox is clicked, trigger toggle for input. so it won't be if (this.id == 'chkNewBuildingOtherAreas') { but something like if ($(this).hasClass('has-input'))

Try replacing this in your code. It should work.
$("#txOldOtherAreas").hide();
$("#txNewOtherAreas").hide();
$("input[name='oldBuilding']").change(function (e) {
$("input[name='newBuilding']").removeAttr('checked');
e.target.checked = true;
if (e.target.id == "chkOldBuildingOtherAreas") {
$("#txOldOtherAreas").show();
$("#txNewOtherAreas").hide();
} else {
$("#txNewOtherAreas").hide();
}
});
$("input[name='newBuilding']").change(function (e) {
$("input[name='oldBuilding']").removeAttr('checked');
e.target.checked = true;
if (e.target.id == "chkNewBuildingOtherAreas") {
$("#txNewOtherAreas").show();
$("#txOldOtherAreas").hide();
} else {
$("#txOldOtherAreas").hide();
}
});

You can try following code to fix the problem (Tested in fiddle):
$('#txNewOtherAreas, #txOldOtherAreas').hide();
$('input[name="oldBuilding"]').on('click', function(){
if($('input[name="newBuilding"]').is(':checked')){
$('input[name="newBuilding"]').removeAttr('checked');
$('#txNewOtherAreas').hide();
}
});
$('input[name="newBuilding"]').on('click', function(){
if($('input[name="oldBuilding"]').is(':checked')){
$('input[name="oldBuilding"]').removeAttr('checked');
$('#txOldOtherAreas').hide();
}
});
$('#chkNewBuildingOtherAreas').on('click', function() {
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$('#txNewOtherAreas').show();
} else {
$('#txNewOtherAreas').hide();
}
});
$('#chkOldBuildingOtherAreas').on('click', function() {
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$('#txOldOtherAreas').show();
} else {
$('#txOldOtherAreas').hide();
}
});

call different events based on user input style javascript

I have a div which contains an input element to enter some values. These values are added just above the div as a list element upon pressing enter or onFocusOut event. To this point it is fine. But if user types some value and does not press enter and directly clicks on save button, the onFocusOut function for that div should not be called. Instead it should take that typed value and call some save function. Do you have any suggestion on how to detect it?
My code snippet is here
JS:
divInput.onkeypress = function (event){
return someTestFunc();
}
divInput.tabIndex="-1";
$(divInput).focusout(function (e) {
if ($(this).find(e.relatedTarget).length == 0) {
addToList();
}
});

It is not a very delicate solution, but you could use a setTimeout before adding the item to the list and clear the setTimeout on save.button click.
Try this:
var $saveButton = $('#exampleButton')[0],
$divInput = $('#exampleInput')[0],
timedEvent = -1;
$($saveButton).on('click', function(event){
if(timedEvent) {
clearTimeout(timedEvent)
}
alert('not add to list & save');
})
$divInput.tabIndex="-1";
$($divInput).on('focusout', function(e) {
timedEvent = window.setTimeout(function() {
if ($(this).find(e.relatedTarget).length == 0) {
alert('add to list');
}
}, 200);
});

Prevent loss of focus unless hovering over a certain element

I have a page with a textarea #content and an input textbox #name. Once the user has clicked on #content, I want to prevent him from loosing focus of that textarea, unless he is clicking on #name.
I've tried the following:
// Prevent loss of focus for textarea
$("#content").on("blur", function(event) {
$('#name').mouseover(function() {
return true;
});
event.preventDefault();
this.focus();
return false;
});
It works just fine to prevent loss of focus of an element. But my idea of checking if he's hovering #name and returning just doesn't work.

Stole the code from here to get the element that triggered the blur.
var clicky;
$(document).mousedown(function(e) {
// The latest element clicked
clicky = $(e.target);
});
$("#content").on("blur", function(event) {
if (clicky.attr('id') == 'name') {
return true;
}
event.preventDefault();
this.focus();
return false;
});
fiddle

Something like this, maybe?
$(document).ready(function(){
var id;
$('#content').on('blur',function(){
$(":input").focus(function(){
id = this.id;
if(id != 'username' && id != 'content'){ // sorry, changed your id from name to username.
$('#content').focus();
}
});
});
});

Catch only keypresses that change input?

I want to do something when a keypress changes the input of a textbox. I figure the keypress event would be best for this, but how do I know if it caused a change? I need to filter out things like pressing the arrow keys, or modifiers... I don't think hardcoding all the values is the best approach.
So how should I do it?

In most browsers, you can use the HTML5 input event for text-type <input> elements:
$("#testbox").on("input", function() {
alert("Value changed!");
});
This doesn't work in IE < 9, but there is a workaround: the propertychange event.
$("#testbox").on("propertychange", function(e) {
if (e.originalEvent.propertyName == "value") {
alert("Value changed!");
}
});
IE 9 supports both, so in that browser it's better to prefer the standards-based input event. This conveniently fires first, so we can remove the handler for propertychange the first time input fires.
Putting it all together (jsFiddle):
var propertyChangeUnbound = false;
$("#testbox").on("propertychange", function(e) {
if (e.originalEvent.propertyName == "value") {
alert("Value changed!");
}
});
$("#testbox").on("input", function() {
if (!propertyChangeUnbound) {
$("#testbox").unbind("propertychange");
propertyChangeUnbound = true;
}
alert("Value changed!");
});

.change() is what you're after
$("#testbox").keyup(function() {
$(this).blur();
$(this).focus();
$(this).val($(this).val()); // fix for IE putting cursor at beginning of input on focus
}).change(function() {
alert("change fired");
});

This is how I would do it: http://jsfiddle.net/JesseAldridge/Pggpt/1/
$('#input1').keyup(function(){
if($('#input1').val() != $('#input1').attr('prev_val'))
$('#input2').val('change')
else
$('#input2').val('no change')
$('#input1').attr('prev_val', $('#input1').val())
})

I came up with this for autosaving a textarea. It uses a combination of the .keyUp() jQuery method to see if the content has changed. And then I update every 5 seconds because I don't want the form getting submitted every time it's changed!!!!
var savePost = false;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
setInterval('autoSave()', 5000)
$('input, textarea').keyup(function(){
if (!savePost) {
savePost = true;
}
})
})
function autoSave() {
if (savePost) {
savePost = false;
$('#post_submit, #task_submit').click();
}
}
I know it will fire even if the content hasn't changed but it was easier that hardcoding which keys I didn't want it to work for.

clearing radio input using jQuery

I have a bunch of radio buttons that are below. These radio buttons are part of a larger form and are optional, so If a user clicks on one, then decides he/she doesn't want the option selected, there is no way to undo this.
I was wondering if there was any jQuery etc, that, when clicking a link for example, clear any radio selection, based on the group name in the HTML?
Thanks

var group_name = "the_group_name";
// if jquery 1.6++
$(":radio[name='" + group_name + "']").prop('checked', false);
// prev than 1.6
// $(":radio[name='" + group_name + "']").attr('checked', false);
Working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/roberkules/66FYL/

var Custom = {
init: function() {
checkAllPrettyCheckboxes = function(caller, container){
// Find the label corresponding to each checkbox and click it
$(container).find('input[type=checkbox]:not(:checked)').each(function(){
if($.browser.msie){
$(this).attr('checked','checked');
}else{
$(this).trigger('click');
};
});
};
uncheckAllPrettyCheckboxes = function(caller, container){
// Find the label corresponding to each checkbox and unselect them
$(container).find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').each(function(){
$('label[for="'+$(this).attr('id')+'"]').trigger('click');
if($.browser.msie){
$(this).attr('checked','');
}else{
$(this).trigger('click');
};
});
};
I have created it in an init function, and adter then i called the init.
}
window.onload = Custom.init;

I have created a solution like roberkules' solution, except mine clears the radiobutton if you click the radiobutton itself while it's checked. Use this if you don't want to add an extra "Clear" button to your layout.
http://jsfiddle.net/P9zZQ/6/
// Requires JQuery 1.4+ (possibly earlier)
$(function () {
// Turn off a radiobutton if clicked again while on
var checkOff = function (event) {
var target = $(event.target);
if (target.is('label')) {
// deal with clicked label
if (target.attr('for')) {
// label has 'for' attribute
target = $('#' + target.attr('for'));
} else {
// label contains a radiobutton as a child
target = target.find('input[type=radio]');
}
}
if (target.is('input:checked[type=radio]')) {
event.preventDefault();
window.setTimeout(function () {
target.attr('checked', false);
}, 200);
}
}
// Find all radiobuttons and labels inside .radio-clearable containers
$(
'.radio-clearable input[type=radio], ' +
'.radio-clearable label').mousedown(function (event) {
// When clicked -- clear if it was checked
checkOff(event);
}).keydown(function (event) {
// When receiving space, escape, enter, del, or bksp -- clear if it was checked
if (event.which == 32 || event.which == 27 || event.which == 13 || which == 46 || which == 8) {
checkOff(event);
}
});
});
Usage: For any radiobutton you want to be clearable in this manner, wrap it in a container with class "radio-clearable".
The code is triggered by clicking or sending a key (Space, Escape, Enter, Del, BkSp) to the radiobutton element or to its label.
