Using :not to select all elements except inside box with certain class - javascript

I have an overlay that I want to hide on mousedown outside it.
Here is what I tried out but unfortunately :not selector is not working as I expected.
$('body:not(.overlay)').one('mousedown',function(){
//hide overlay here
});
I also tried $('* :not(.overlay)') but same issue.
The overlay gets hidden even when clicking inside the overlay box

$(document).on( "mousedown.hideoverlay", function(e){
if( $(e.target).closest(".overlay").length === 0 ) { //overlay wasn't clicked.
//hide overlay
$(document).off("mousedown.hideoverlay");
}
});

Your selector body:not(.overlay) matches the body element if it doesn't have a class overlay, I'm assuming what you meant was its descendant without the class overlay:
$('body :not(.overlay)'); //note the space - descendant selector
The problem with such an assignment is that it matches too many elements (in particular, parents of selected elements). Tehnically, even clicking on any container div would match the selector, fiddled. This happens because even clicks on elements with overlay class continue propagating up the DOM.
I agree with other suggestions here i.e. it's appropriate to listen to all clicks and do nothing if the selector doesn't match, however preventing event propagation on them could interfere with the rest of the page's logic.
I'd rather advocate an approach where there is an explicit subset of "overlayable" items that could be clicked on - and filter them with :not(.overlay) selector:
$('.some-generic-container-name:not(.overlay)')...

Try the .not() function: http://api.jquery.com/not/ . It specifically removes elements from a selected group which is probably the problem you are getting here. Saves having to do complex if's etc to solve this
$('*').not('.overlay').on('mousedown', function(){
alert("here");
});
Edit
Heh, Didn't read the question fully:
$(document).on('mousedown', function(e){
var target = $(e.target);
if(!target.parents().hasClass('overlay') && !target.hasClass('overlay')){
// hide stuff
}
});
Edit: I prefer to use click here (Dunno why):
$(document).on('click', function(e){
var target = $(e.target);
if(!target.parents().hasClass('overlay') && !target.hasClass('overlay')){
// hide stuff
}
});
It just looks nicer in my opinion, call me weird...

turning div boxes into hotlinks, without overwriting the buttons they already have - JQuery

I am trying to turn the whitespace inside the pink boxes you see below into links associated with each object. I have been trying to just make the box clickable to google.com, and numerous tries do not swap the appropriate element. My most recent attempt is looks as follows, where the first jquery function of hovering over "article" does work, but the new one below it doesn't. The page is as follows:
https://jsfiddle.net/codyc54321/zpLy3og8/1/
$( ".linkbox" ).hover(
function() {
$( this ).attr("href", "www.google.com")
}, function() {
$( this ).attr("href", "#")
}
);
I need the Archive/Edit/Delete buttons to retain their functionality, even though the sit within the larger pink box. How can I make this box clickable without overriding my other 3 buttons using jquery?
You will need to stop propagation on click of your anchor to avoid to events firing. Like below:
$('a').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
To activate click on your outer div, you may add the below function:
$('.article-link').on('click',function(){
// Do something
});
Wrap both these function inside document.ready and you are good to go.

Two OnClick events overlap

I have an element inside an element, when I click the element underneath I want the slider to open. When I click on the outermost element I want the slider to close.
Unfortunately when I click on the outermost it clicks the underneath element as well. Is there a way to click only on the outermost element ignoring the click on the underneath element? The events are triggered on click and executed with javascript.
I tried with z-index but it still captures the underneath element clicked as well, and because the functions are contrary to one another nothing happens.
edit: on a "code is worth 1000 words" tip
var $target = $(this).data('pos', i) //give each li an index #
$target.data('hpaneloffsetw', $target.find('.hpanel:eq(0)').outerWidth()) //get offset width of each .hpanel DIV (config.dimensions.fullw + any DIV padding)
$target[haccordion.ismobile? "click" : "mouseenter"](function(){
haccordion.expandli(config.accordionid, this)
config.$lastexpanded=$(this)
})
if (config.collapsecurrent){ //if previous content should be contracted when expanding current
$('.close').click(function(){
$target.stop().animate({width:config.paneldimensions.peekw}, config.speed) //contract previous content
})
$target.dblclick(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({width:config.paneldimensions.peekw}, config.speed) //contract previous content
})
}
Because the code is borrowed, I don't understand much of it. But basically I want the "click" : "mousteenter" function to work on click, without interfering with the .close().click
It sounds like you need to stop the click event bubbling up the DOM to be caught by parent elements. You can use stopPropagation() to do this:
$('.close').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$target.stop().animate({ width: config.paneldimensions.peekw }, config.speed);
})
$target.dblclick(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).stop().animate({ width: config.paneldimensions.peekw }, config.speed);
})
Try the following fiddle
$("#outer").click(function(){alert("outer clicked")});
$("#inner").click(function(e){
alert("inner clicked")
e.stopPropagation();
});
To identify the element you have "really" clicked on, you can try to identify it through accessing the target property of the jquery-event-object.
After you identified the target you clicked on, you could prevent other event handlers from firing.
Use CSS specific jquery to point exact element like below, use > to point exact child
table > tbody > tr > td > input[type='text']
like this.

Javascript hide element (when clicked outside) with certain conditions

So there is much questions here about hiding div when you clicking outside of it. But I have one thing, there is a div(accounts-edit-table-name-edit) which showing hidden div(account-edit-group) on click first. And then - if I will click somewhere else out of the div(account-edit-group) - it must hide. Here is my code where I am trying to do two different conditions (OR):
$(document).click(function(event) {
if($(event.target).parents().index($('.account-edit-group')) == -1 || $(event.target).parents().index($('.accounts-edit-table-name-edit')) == -1)
{
if($('.account-edit-group').is(":visible"))
{
$('.account-edit-group').removeClass('acc-edit-f');
alert("hiding")
}
}
});
HTML:
<div class="accounts-edit-table-name-edit">"button"</div>
<div class="account-edit-group">block</div>
(class "acc-edit-f" just contains "display: block")
Well, if I will click on the div with class "accounts-edit-table-name-edit" - system will immediately show me alert("hiding") though it must look through the conditions and ignore that. Is there any ways to fix this?
see the jsfiddle if it is what you want :
http://jsfiddle.net/5E6C6/2/
$(event.target).parents().index($('.account-edit-group')) //always return -1
$(event.target).parents().index($('.accounts-edit-table-name-edit')) // this too
That's because parents doesn't include the first element, which is e.target.
Here what you could do :
if(!$(event.target).closest('.account-edit-group, .accounts-edit-table-name-edit').length)
try using .hide() instead of removeclass
$( ".account-edit-group" ).hide();
Here is what you need:
add the element that is shown/hidden inside the button
stop event propagation when one of the two elements are clicked
bind onclick event on the document and hide all child elements
here is a working example i wrote for you:
http://jsfiddle.net/T2b4z/2/
$(document).click(function(event) {
var clickedElement = $(event.target);
if (clickedElement.hasClass('accounts-edit-table-name-edit') || clickedElement.parents().hasClass('accounts-edit-table-name-edit')) {
$('.account-edit-group').removeClass('acc-edit-f');
return false;
}else {
$('.account-edit-group').addClass('acc-edit-f');
}
});

how to make the menu close if it is clicked out

i have an menu with some values and i got someting hidden and while click on more button it shows like google more menu... if it is clicked out it is not hiding till the more menu is clicked once again
More<small>▼</small><div class="more list" id="one" style="display:none">test <span style="color:#329">|</span> test1 <span style="color:#169">|</span> test4</div></div>
Script:
function toggle(one)
{
var o=document.getElementById(one);
o.style.display=(o.style.display=='none')?'block':'none';
}
how to make it close while the mosuse clicks on any other place other than the menus
Try using the onblur event.
I see you've tagged this with jQuery, if that is an option, you can clear up the link a bit, like this:
More<small>▼</small>
And use unobtrusive script combined with event bubbling to your advantage, like this:
$(function() {
$(".more_link").click(function(e) {
$(this).next(".more").toggle();
e.stopPropagation();
});​​
$(".more").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function() {
$(".more").hide();
});​
});
You can test it out here, this only closes the menu if you clicked neither the menu of the toggle, e.g. clicking one of the test links will not close it. If you want it to, just remove the $(".more").click(function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }); portion.
It uses event.stopPropagation() to stop the click from bubbling up to document, which if happens (and would if you clicked anything else) triggers its click handler, closing all the .more elements.
I wouldn't use onBlur because it's not a good accessibility approach (for example if the user is using tab to navigate the page).
Look at this solution instead:
jQuery click event for document but ignore a div
Typically, I let the event bubble up to the 'body' or 'html' doc and check if the target is what i want (and/or isn't contained within what i want). If the event target is not contained within your menu, then perform your desired operation (in this case, hide the div).
i.e.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("html").bind("click", function(evt){
var $target = jQuery(evt.target);
var shouldShowMenu = $target.hasClass("menu_toggle");
shouldShowMenu |= $target.parents(".menu_toggle, .more_list").length;
if(!shouldShowMenu)jQuery(".more_list").hide();
});
});
NOTE: your markup would needs to be extended such that the "more" href becomes has a class attribute, class="menu_toggle"

Using jQuery to test if an input has focus

On the front page of a site I am building, several <div>s use the CSS :hover pseudo-class to add a border when the mouse is over them. One of the <div>s contains a <form> which, using jQuery, will keep the border if an input within it has focus. This works perfectly except that IE6 does not support :hover on any elements other than <a>s. So, for this browser only we are using jQuery to mimic CSS :hover using the $(#element).hover() method. The only problem is, now that jQuery handles both the form focus() and hover(), when an input has focus then the user moves the mouse in and out, the border goes away.
I was thinking we could use some kind of conditional to stop this behavior. For instance, if we tested on mouse out if any of the inputs had focus, we could stop the border from going away. AFAIK, there is no :focus selector in jQuery, so I'm not sure how to make this happen. Any ideas?
jQuery 1.6+
jQuery added a :focus selector so we no longer need to add it ourselves. Just use $("..").is(":focus")
jQuery 1.5 and below
Edit: As times change, we find better methods for testing focus, the new favorite is this gist from Ben Alman:
jQuery.expr[':'].focus = function( elem ) {
return elem === document.activeElement && ( elem.type || elem.href );
};
Quoted from Mathias Bynens here:
Note that the (elem.type || elem.href) test was added to filter out false positives like body. This way, we make sure to filter out all elements except form controls and hyperlinks.
You're defining a new selector. See Plugins/Authoring. Then you can do:
if ($("...").is(":focus")) {
...
}
or:
$("input:focus").doStuff();
Any jQuery
If you just want to figure out which element has focus, you can use
$(document.activeElement)
If you aren't sure if the version will be 1.6 or lower, you can add the :focus selector if it is missing:
(function ( $ ) {
var filters = $.expr[":"];
if ( !filters.focus ) {
filters.focus = function( elem ) {
return elem === document.activeElement && ( elem.type || elem.href );
};
}
})( jQuery );
CSS:
.focus {
border-color:red;
}
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input').blur(function() {
$('input').removeClass("focus");
})
.focus(function() {
$(this).addClass("focus")
});
});
Here’s a more robust answer than the currently accepted one:
jQuery.expr[':'].focus = function(elem) {
return elem === document.activeElement && (elem.type || elem.href);
};
Note that the (elem.type || elem.href) test was added to filter out false positives like body. This way, we make sure to filter out all elements except form controls and hyperlinks.

April 2015 Update
Since this question has been around a while, and some new conventions have come into play, I feel that I should mention the .live method has been depreciated.
In its place, the .on method has now been introduced.
Their documentation is quite useful in explaining how it works;
The .on() method attaches event handlers to the currently selected set
of elements in the jQuery object. As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method
provides all functionality required for attaching event handlers. For
help in converting from older jQuery event methods, see .bind(),
.delegate(), and .live().
So, in order for you to target the 'input focused' event, you can use this in a script. Something like:
$('input').on("focus", function(){
//do some stuff
});
This is quite robust and even allows you to use the TAB key as well.
I'm not entirely sure what you're after but this sounds like it can be achieved by storing the state of the input elements (or the div?) as a variable:
$('div').each(function(){
var childInputHasFocus = false;
$(this).hover(function(){
if (childInputHasFocus) {
// do something
} else { }
}, function() {
if (childInputHasFocus) {
// do something
} else { }
});
$('input', this)
.focus(function(){
childInputHasFocus = true;
})
.blur(function(){
childInputHasFocus = false;
});
});
An alternative to using classes to mark the state of an element is the internal data store functionality.
P.S.: You are able to store booleans and whatever you desire using the data() function. It's not just about strings :)
$("...").mouseover(function ()
{
// store state on element
}).mouseout(function ()
{
// remove stored state on element
});
And then it's just a matter of accessing the state of elements.
if anyone cares there is a much better way to capture focus now, $(foo).focus(...)
http://api.jquery.com/focus/
Have you thought about using mouseOver and mouseOut to simulate this. Also look into mouseEnter and mouseLeave
Keep track of both states (hovered, focused) as true/false flags, and whenever one changes, run a function that removes border if both are false, otherwise shows border.
So: onfocus sets focused = true, onblur sets focused = false. onmouseover sets hovered = true, onmouseout sets hovered = false. After each of these events run a function that adds/removes border.
As far as I know, you can't ask the browser if any input on the screen has focus, you have to set up some sort of focus tracking.
I usually have a variable called "noFocus" and set it to true. Then I add a focus event to all inputs that makes noFocus false. Then I add a blur event to all inputs that set noFocus back to true.
I have a MooTools class that handles this quite easily, I'm sure you could create a jquery plugin to do the same.
Once that's created, you could do check noFocus before doing any border swapping.
There is no :focus, but there is :selected
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/selected
but if you want to change how things look based on what is selected you should probably be working with the blur events.
http://docs.jquery.com/Events/blur
There is a plugin to check if an element is focused: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/focused
$('input').each(function(){
if ($(this) == $.focused()) {
$(this).addClass('focused');
}
})
I had a .live("focus") event set to select() (highlight) the contents of a text input so that the user wouldn't have to select it before typing a new value.
$(formObj).select();
Because of quirks between different browsers, the select would sometimes be superseded by the click that caused it, and it would deselect the contents right after in favor of placing the cursor within the text field (worked mostly ok in FF but failed in IE)
I thought I could solve this by putting a slight delay on the select...
setTimeout(function(){$(formObj).select();},200);
This worked fine and the select would persist, but a funny problem arose.. If you tabbed from one field to the next, the focus would switch to the next field before the select took place. Since select steals focus, the focus would then go back and trigger a new "focus" event. This ended up in a cascade of input selects dancing all over the screen.
A workable solution would be to check that the field still has focus before executing the select(), but as mentioned, there's no simple way to check... I ended up just dispensing with the whole auto highlight, rather than turning what should be a single jQuery select() call into a huge function laden with subroutines...
What I wound up doing is creating an arbitrary class called .elementhasfocus which is added and removed within the jQuery focus() function. When the hover() function runs on mouse out, it checks for .elementhasfocus:
if(!$("#quotebox").is(".boxhasfocus")) $(this).removeClass("box_border");
So if it doesn't have that class (read: no elements within the div have focus) the border is removed. Otherwise, nothing happens.
Simple
<input type="text" />
<script>
$("input").focusin(function() {
alert("I am in Focus");
});
</script>
