This is my first attempt to write a jQuery plugin, this one is supposed to fade out the body, switch class, then make the body reappear and let the user switch class back. Unfortunately at this point it can't switch class more than once. How to fix it?
(function($) {
$.fn.flashClass= function(classId, element){
element="body"; //overriden for testing purpose
$(this).click(function() {
$(element).fadeOut("slow", function() {
$(element).toggleClass(classId);
});
$(element).fadeIn("slow", function() {
$(element).scrollTop(height);
});
});
};
})(jQuery);
EDIT:
At the end of the day, It turned out that I've pasted the wrong snippet with scrollTop callback of undefined variable height. After removing it and switching .click to .on , function works like a charm. However I am still interested why it worked only once.
Try the live() or on(), like following :
$(this).on('click',function() {...
Instead of
$(this).click(function() {...

I'm not really good at JQUERY, and I just tend to observe things, but here is a code I've been working on. So the goal here is that I want both .people and .people_bg to close when I click anywhere on my screen.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#relations").click(function(){
$(".people").slideToggle("fast");
$(".people_bg").slideToggle("fast");
});
});
$('a.close, .people_bg').live('click', function() {
$('.people_bg , .people').fadeOut(function() {
$('.people_bg, a.close').remove(); //fade them both out
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
The problem is: It only works once. The second time around, only '.people' appears, and not '.people_bg'
The remove function that you're using actually deletes elements from the page altogether, so that's your culprit. Replace that with a more appropriate function and you should be just fine.
You can simply just fadeOut without remove. This will hide them without actually removing them from the page: JS FIDDLE
$('a.close, .people_bg').on('click', function () {
$('.people_bg , .people').fadeOut();
});
Additionally, in your first function, you can combine the two class selectors:
$("#relations").click(function () {
$(".people, .people_bg").slideToggle("fast");
});
Also note that you should be using jquery's .on() as of version 1.7 instead of .live().
I have a use case whereby i know that all the divs i am interested in will have the word 'tabz' in them but have yet to find a way to fire my jquery when a user clicks on a div with such an id.
$('div[id=*"tabz"]').on("click", function()
{
alert(event.target.id);
});
This is what i have however the alert never fires.
When I replace the method with :
$('div').on("click", function()
{
alert(event.target.id);
});
it will give me the following:
tabz91
So i know there are divs that meet my selector but it I am unsure as to why the alert is not firing.
Any help greatly appreciated
The correct syntax is simply
$('div[id*="tabz"]')
(the = and the * are inverted in your example).
You may use
$('div[id$="tabz"]')
if the id attribute ends with your pattern.
$('div[id*="tabz"]').on("click", function()
{
alert(event.target.id);
});
It's a typo, * and = inverted. See this example : http://jsfiddle.net/Xcn6N/
try instead of =* it is *=
$('div[id*="tabz"]').on("click", function() {
alert(event.target.id);
});

I have done on hover and on click with jQuery plenty of times, but this is baffling me. I have the jQuery library imported, and I have the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.content_main_left_bottom').bind("click", function(e) {
alert('hi');
});
});
For some reason, it's NEVER reaching the alert!! I even put the alert right above document and it's showing there. I have the div tag with content_main_left_bottom within my code somewhere, is there something else I should do with that class?
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.content_main_left_bottom').bind("click", function(e) {
alert('hi');
});
});
first i would try this if the element with CLASS name (not ID) content_main_left_bottom exists it should work fine ...except you have any other javascript error in the code which you can find out by pushing f12 in your browser and go to the console section
After using .load to update my div, that is add item to my list, I used firebug and saw that the list was updated. However, I lost the mouseover event that worked when the page first loaded. In my script js I have:
// hide and show are css classes that display none and block respectively
function openList(){
$("#miniList").removeClass().addClass("show");
}
function closeList(){
$("#miniList").removeClass().addClass("hide");
}
...
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#miniList").mouseover(function() {
openList();
})
$("#miniList").mouseout(function() {
closeList();
})
});
function addItemToDiv(id, ref, num) {
$("#miniList").load("/list/ajax_updateList.jsp", {
'action' : 'additem',
'pid' : id,
'pref' : ref,
'qty' : num
});
}
Of course, this works fine the first time the page is loaded, but when I add item to the list, DOM is update but mouseover effects don't work any more.
Any thoughts are more than welcomed.
For DOM elments added dynimically you need to use the jquery .live() function.
Please go through the below link, I think that might fix your problem:
api.jquery.com/live
#ishwebdev, this is common problem we run , for all the DOM elments added after pageload like run time, we need to bind the events through live instead of regular bind
If you are using jquery 1.4 use below code:
// from jquery.com
$('give your selector here').live('mouseover mouseout', function(event) {
if (event.type == 'mouseover') {
// do something on mouseover
} else {
// do something on mouseout
}
});
#siri: thanks for the excellent answer, it worked for me right away. Here's my shopping cart dropdown example:
Before:
$("#cart-items").mouseenter(function(){
$('#cart-pulldown').show();
});
After:
$("#cart-items").live('mouseenter', function(){
$('#cart-pulldown').show();
});
With .live the event handling still works even after I change the underlying HTML via an Ajax call.
The selected answer no longer works for jquery 1.9+.
Instead, use "on" event, like
$( document ).on("keyup", "input.assets",function(event) {...

I have a somewhat odd situation. I understand the premise of the live() and bind() functions, yet in a situation where i believe i dont need them, i seemingly do. I will explain.
I made an autosuggest in jquery. I included autosuggest.js at the top of my page. I then have an input field.
The basis of the JS works around:
$(".autosuggest").keyup(function()
{
}
This works - on keyup, my function executes etc as expected - i dont need to use live() or bind() as the input field is on the page from the get go...
Now.. I have also made a 'star rater' esque script.
I have various elements (which are styled), and on hover they are restyled...
$('.rating li').mouseover(function() {
}
does NOT work, YET
$('.rating li').live('mouseover',function() {
}
DOES.
Why do i need to use 'live' in this situation, when i dont in the case of the autosuggest?
Thanks
The only thing I can imagine that would cause this is a lack of a domready event. This should work:
$(function () {
$('.rating li').mouseover(function() {
}
});
the .ratings li isn't parsed yet when you have .mouseover() not working.
You can wrap it in $(document).ready(function() {...}); or use .live() (which creates the binding for any currently parsed at that point in the script and any elements added in the future).
Did you put $('.rating li').mouseover(function() {
}
in $(document).ready(function() {....} ?
Even if you include a .js file, if the elements in the page ('rating li') are not loaded, the bind will not be made.
Without seeing more of you code, it's difficult to say for sure. But my guess would be that your script is running before the pageload completes. try wrapping your bindings (and anything else that depends on particular dom elements to exist) with a call to $(document).ready(...).
something like this:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('.rating li').mouseover(function() {
// whatever
});
$(".autosuggest").keyup(function() {
// whatever else
});
});
If that's not it, then post more of your code, and we'll dig in further.
good luck.
