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();
}
});

Issue with checkbox listener in multifield

I have a multifield component with a 1 checkbox in each item. I am adding a listener so that if one check box is checked all others should be unchecked automatically. I am writing the listener with jquery. When I check the next item in multifield, the functionality works fine, however, it doesn't work when I check a previous checkbox in the multifield item.
whats around with this code:
Check =
function(e) {
$("input[name='./isActive']").each(function () {
if($(this).attr('id') !== e.id && $(this).attr('checked') && e.getValue() !== false) {
if (confirm('Do you want to replace Alert message?')) {
$(this).removeAttr('checked');
return;
} else {
e.setValue(false);
return;
}
}
});
}
Thanks in advance

Hope this resolve your issue
JS FIDDLE
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.multiChecks').change(function() {
if($(this).prop('checked')){
$('.multiChecks').not(this).removeAttr('checked');
}
}); });

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.multiChecks').change(function() {
var index = $( '.multiChecks' ).index( this );
if($(this).prop('checked')){
$('.multiChecks:gt('+index+')').removeAttr('checked');
$('.multiChecks:;t('+index+')').removeAttr('checked');
}
});
});

jquery form check before submit with select name array

I'm having a hard time with this quick validation i want in place...but i think it's not validating properly because of my select name arrays and i'm not sure how to go about this.
How it should work:
- If stat holiday box is checked for that day && if any Lieu hours are selected for that day give alert error and stop form submission.
My jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4bgYj/3/
my jquery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function(e) {
var lieuhrs = $(".lieutimehours").val();
$('.lieutimehours').each(function(i, obj) {
if ($("#statholidaycheck").is(":checked") && lieuhrs > 0) {
alert("cannot process: " + lieuhrs);
return false;
}
}
});
});

Let me give you a more user-friendly approach for your problem:
If stat is selected simply disable the form input for lieu hours.
With this you won't have to check anything before submitting the form and the user can't accidentally select a value in lieu hours.
It still needs to be updated to your markup, but the idea is basically:
var stat = $('.stat');
stat.change(function() {
var e = $(this);
var f = e.parent().find('.lieu');
if (e.is(':checked')) {
f.prop('disabled', true);
} else {
f.prop('disabled', false);
}
});
Demo
Try before buy

First, you're missing a );...
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function(e) {
var lieuhrs = $(".lieutimehours").val();
$('.lieutimehours').each(function(i, obj) {
if ($("#statholidaycheck").is(":checked") && lieuhrs > 0) {
alert("cannot process: " + lieuhrs);
return false;
}
}); // missing ); here. <--------------
});
});
Try it after adding that and you'll find it works for the first checkbox. But select a different checkbox and it will fail. In HTML, you will want to use unique ids to reference an element. What I would do is change your HTML to put a css class on the TR tag, and then look at the contained elements.
<tr class='line'>
<td> <input type='checkbox' class='isHoliday'/> </td>
<td> <select class='lieuHours'>options...</select> </td>
</tr>
and in your script...
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function(e) {
$('.lines').each(function(i, obj) {
var lieuHours = $(this).find(".lieuHours").val();
if ($(this).find(".isHoliday:checked") && lieuHours > 0) {
alert("cannot process: " + lieuhrs);
return false;
}
}); // missing ); here. <--------------
});
});

You didn't approach the issue properly, the selectors should not be global but specific to the loop you are doing:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function(e) {
$('.lieutimehours').each(function(i, obj) {
var lieuhrs = $(this).val();
if ($(this).closest('tr').find('#statholidaycheck').is(":checked") && parseFloat(lieuhrs) > 0) {
alert('works');
return false;
}else{
alert('fail')
}
});
});
});

JS: How to detect whether cursor is in textfield

I want to use some letters ( keys ) as shortcut for some actions in javascript. I want to check whether the cursor is focused on any textfield, form input, etc. so that the shortcut action will be canceled when user is typing something in a form or textfield.
For example, i want an alert() to be executed when user presses 'A'. But if the user is typing some text in a textarea like 'A website' then he will be pressing 'A', this time alert() should not be executed.

$(document).keydown( function( e ) {
if( e.target.nodeName == "INPUT" || e.target.nodeName == "TEXTAREA" ) return;
if( e.target.isContentEditable ) return;
// Do stuff
}

window.onkeydown = function(e){
if ( e.target.nodeName == 'INPUT' ) return;
handle_shortcut();
};

jQuery
$(window).bind('keydown',function(e){
if(e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'input'){
return;
}
alert('a');
});
or pure js
window.onkeydown = function(e){
if(e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'input'){
return;
}
alert('a');
};
What you can do in addition to this is define an array of non-alert element types, so input, textarea etc and then check none of those elements are currently the target.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/7F3JH/

You can bind and unbind the shortcut events depending on which element currently has focus on your page.
JavaScript
window.onload = initWindow();
function initWindow () {
attachShortcutHandler();
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0, max = inputs.length; i < max; i++) {
inputs[i].onfocus = removeShortcutHandler;
intputs[i].onblur = attachShortcutHandler;
}
}
function removeShortcutHandler () {
window.onkeypress = null;
}
function attachShortcutHandler() {
window.onkeypress = function () {
//your code here
}
}
jQuery
$(function () {
initShortcutHandler();
$('input, [any other element you want]')
.on('focus', function () {
$('body').off('keypress');
})
.on('blur', function () {
initShortcutHandler();
});
});
function initShortcutHandler() {
$('body').on('keypress', function () {
//do your stuff
});
}

jQuery mouseover()
$('element').mouseover(function() {
alert('over');
});

you need to make a flag as global. and set it false when any textbox has focus.
var flag = true;
$('input:type="text").focus(function(txt) {
flag= false; });
if(flag) //shortcut keys works...

Better use the focusOut method defined in JQuery. As per my understanding you can do something like this
$("input").focusout(function() {
if($(this).val() == "A"{
alert("your message");
return false;
}else{
//do other processing here.
}
});
Hope this helps :)

Filtering html fields with jQuery

I have read about filtering table plugins. What I'm searching for is like this popup window.
(source: staticflickr.com)
When the user starts typing in the search-box, the relevant channel/category (as selected on previous dropdown box) should filter up. Also some animated loading action should happen while the filter process is going on.
I am looking for jQuery plugins which will make my filter-job easier to implement.

I think it is to ambigous to have a plugin for it. Just do something like this:
function filter($rows, category, search) {
$rows.each(function() {
if (category == ($("td:eq(2)", this).text() || category == "all") && (search. === "" || $("td:eq(1)", this).text().indexOf(search) !== -1) {
$(":checkbox", this).removeAttr("disabled");
$(this).show();
}
else
$(this).hide(function(){
$(":checkbox", this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
});
});
}
$("select.category").change(function() {
filter ($(this).closest("form").find("tr"), $(this).val(), $(this).closest("form").find("input.search").val());
});
$("input.search").keyUp(function() {
filter ($(this).closest("form").find("tr"), $(this).closest("form").find("select.catagory").val(), $(this).val());
});
You may need to make a few adjustments in order to make it work with the exact format of html.
Update to make it into a PLUGIN
$.fn.filter_table = function(options) {
options = $.extend(options, {
show: $.noop(), //Callback when a row get shown
hide: $.noop(), // Callback when a row gets hidden
entries: "table tr", // Selector of items to filter.
map: {} //Required parameter
//TODO Add default ajustment parameters here to remove ambiguity and assumptions.
});
return this.each(function() {
var form = this;
function each(callback) {
for (var selector in options.map) {
var check = options.map[selector];
$(selector, form).each(function(){
callback.call(this, check);
});
}
}
function show(row) {
if (!$(row).is(":visible")) {
options.show.apply(row);
$(row).show();
}
}
function hide(row) {
if ($(row).is(":visible"))
$(row).hide(options.hide);
}
function run_filter() {
$(options.entries, form).each(function() {
var row = this, matched = true;
each(function(check) {
matched &= check.call(this, row);
});
matched ? show(this) : hide(this);
})
}
//Bind event handlers:
each(function() {
$(this).bind($(this).is(":text") ? "keyup" : "change", run_filter);
});
});
};
You can use this plugin as follows:
$("form").filter_table({
map: {
//These callback define if a row was matched:
"select.category": function(row) {
//this refers to the field, row refers to the row being checked.
return $(this).val() == "all" || $(this).val() == $("td:eq(2)", row).text();
},
"input.search": function(row) {
return $(this).val() == "" || $(this).val() == $("td:eq(1)", row).text();
}
},
entries: "tr:has(:checkbox)", //Filter all rows that contain a checkbox.
show: function() {
$(":checkbox", this).removeAttr("disabled");
},
hide: function() {
$(":checkbox", this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
}
});
Okay it should work once it was debugged. I haven't tested it. I think that part is up to you.

If your HTML looks like this:
<form id="filterForm">
<input type="text" id="filterBox">
<input type="submit" value="Filter">
</form>
<div id="checkboxContainer">
<label><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox123"> Checkbox 123</label>
</div>
You could do something like...
//Set variables so we only have to find each element once
var filterForm = $('#filterForm');
var filterBox = $('#filterBox');
var checkboxContainer = $('#checkboxContainer');
//Override the form submission
filterForm.submit(function() {
//Filter by what the label contains
checkboxContainer.find('label').each(function() {
//If the value of filterBox is NOT in the label
if ($(this).indexOf(filterBox.val()) == -1) {
//Hide the label (and the checkbox since it's inside the label)
$(this).hide();
} else {
//Show it in case it was hidden before
$(this).show();
}
});
//Prevent the form from submitting
return false;
});

There are many options out there. Here is a good place to start: http://www.wokay.com/technology/32-useful-jquery-filter-and-sort-data-plugins-62033.html
Filtering like this isn't incredibly complicated. It may be worth looking at the source of a couple plugins that come close to what you want and then try to write your own. You'll learn a lot more if you do it yourself!
