I am currently having trouble with the following (here is some sample code first):
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#container').load('content.html');
$('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn();
</script>
In short, I want to be able to access elements that have been dynamically added to a page without attaching them to event handlers.
I know about the live() method, but I do not want to bind my action to any event, i.e. I just want to run some actions with these new elements without clicking them, focusing, blurring, etc.
The load function is asynchronous.
Your next line runs before the content is loaded.
You need to put your code inside the load function's callback, so that it will only run after the new content is loaded:
$('#container').load('content.html', function() {
$('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn();
});
You could try using the callback for when load completes? See http://api.jquery.com/load/
$('#result').load('ajax/test.html', function() {
alert('Load was performed.');
});

For a dynamic added element via ajax or any after page load, I know that we have to use the .on like
$(document).on('click', '#dynamically-added-element', function() {
// do something
console.log('Hello World!');
});
I even wrapped mine with (function($){})(jQuery); to make sure no conflict; and to make sure everything should be run/loaded in proper order, I also have $(document).ready(function(){});.
Now that event was originally meant to run on Page A and it works well, but when I made and try it run on Page B having the same id for the main container and have the same child html, it doesn't work.
So I've done some experiment/tests and both works.
(1) So what I've done, I wrote exact same event listener through my browser's console with just console.log and click the target element, it works!
(2) On the same .js script, I've added exact same event listener with just console.log but wrapped it inside setTimeout(function(){}, 5000);, after 5 seconds, I clicked the target element and it worked!
So my question now is, why my original code doesn't work? Why these tests works? So what's the solution?
Also, my html elements aren't loaded dynamically, it's loaded on page load, generated via server side PHP.
Edit:
This info might be useful.
running in magento
js script is being included on head (that's why $(document).ready is really important).
jquery script is being loaded before my custom script.
Page A and Page B are on different pages.
It's not an ajax generated element nor js/jquery added element on the fly; it's generated on postback with php code
(3) My third experiment works as well. But I don't want this to be my solution if possible, nor using javascript inline onclick. So what I did, I added a whole new script block inside the php file where that 'part' of the page is being included, with exact same code and it works. But the thing is, I have now two identical event listener.
So now I have 2 identical event listener (regardless if the other one doesn't work - only for Page B), 1 from within (internal) and 1 from external .js file.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on('click', '#the-container a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = $(this).attr('href');
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
Just write you document.on outside of the document.ready that should work and comment your "e.preventDefault();". It worked on the fiddle when I changed it.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', '#the-container a', function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
var target = $(this).attr('href');
});
</script>
jQuery event handlers are attached to the elements themselves not the selector, if you are instantiating an event handler to an element selector before the element has been loaded, it is not attaching a listener to anything.
For example this will not work:
$.get('http://example.api.com',
function(data){
$node = $('<p></p>')
$node.text(data)
$node.addClass('elementToListen')
$('body').append($node)
})
// this gets executed before the ajax request completes. So no event
// listener gets attached
$('.elementToListen').on('click',function(e){'do somthing'})
because the event listener has been set up before any of the elements have been added to the DOM.
While this will work:
$.get('http://example.api.com',
function(data){
$node = $('<p></p>')
$node.text(data)
$node.addClass('elementToListen')
// here it is getting executed after the AJAX request in the
// success callback
$node.on('click',function(e){'do somthing'})
$('body').append($node)
})
What are differences between
$(document).ready(function(){
//my code here
});
and
$(window).load(function(){
//my code here
});
And I want to make sure that:
$(document).ready(function(){
})
and
$(function(){
});
and
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});
are the same.
Can you tell me what differences and similarities between them?
$(document).ready(function() {
// executes when HTML-Document is loaded and DOM is ready
console.log("document is ready");
});
$(window).load(function() {
// executes when complete page is fully loaded, including all frames, objects and images
console.log("window is loaded");
});

Query 3.0 version
Breaking change: .load(), .unload(), and .error() removed
These methods are shortcuts for event operations, but had several API
limitations. The event .load() method conflicted with the ajax .load()
method. The .error() method could not be used with window.onerror
because of the way the DOM method is defined. If you need to attach
events by these names, use the .on() method, e.g. change
$("img").load(fn) to $(img).on("load", fn).1
$(window).load(function() {});
Should be changed to
$(window).on('load', function (e) {})
These are all equivalent:
$(function(){
});
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});
$(document).ready(function(){
});
$(document).on('ready', function(){
})
document.ready is a jQuery event, it runs when the DOM is ready, e.g. all elements are there to be found/used, but not necessarily all the content.
window.onload fires later (or at the same time in the worst/failing cases) when images and such are loaded. So, if you're using image dimensions for example, you often want to use this instead.
Also read a related question:
Difference between $(window).load() and $(document).ready() functions
These three functions are the same:
$(document).ready(function(){
})
and
$(function(){
});
and
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});
here $ is used for define jQuery like $ = jQuery.
Now difference is that
$(document).ready is jQuery event that is fired when DOM is loaded, so it’s fired when the document structure is ready.
$(window).load event is fired after whole content is loaded like page contain images,css etc.
From the jQuery API Document
While JavaScript provides the load event for executing code when a
page is rendered, this event does not get triggered until all assets
such as images have been completely received. In most cases, the
script can be run as soon as the DOM hierarchy has been fully
constructed. The handler passed to .ready() is guaranteed to be
executed after the DOM is ready, so this is usually the best place to
attach all other event handlers and run other jQuery code. When using
scripts that rely on the value of CSS style properties, it's important
to reference external stylesheets or embed style elements before
referencing the scripts.
In cases where code relies on loaded assets (for example, if the
dimensions of an image are required), the code should be placed in a
handler for the load event instead.
Answer to the second question -
No, they are identical as long as you are not using jQuery in no conflict mode.
The Difference between $(document).ready() and $(window).load() functions is that the code included inside $(window).load() will run once the entire page(images, iframes, stylesheets,etc) are loaded whereas the document ready event fires before all images,iframes etc. are loaded, but after the whole DOM itself is ready.
$(document).ready(function(){
})
and
$(function(){
});
and
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});
There are not difference between the above 3 codes.
They are equivalent,but you may face conflict if any other JavaScript Frameworks uses the same dollar symbol $ as a shortcut name.
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery.ready(function($){
//Code using $ as alias to jQuery
});
$(document).ready(function(e) {
// executes when HTML-Document is loaded and DOM is ready
console.log("page is loading now");
});
$(document).load(function(e) {
//when html page complete loaded
console.log("completely loaded");
});
The ready event is always execute at the only html page is loaded to the browser and the functions are executed....
But the load event is executed at the time of all the page contents are loaded to the browser for the page.....
we can use $ or jQuery when we use the noconflict() method in jquery scripts...
$(window).load is an event that fires when the DOM and all the content (everything) on the page is fully loaded like CSS, images and frames. One best example is if we want to get the actual image size or to get the details of anything we use it.
$(document).ready() indicates that code in it need to be executed once the DOM got loaded and ready to be manipulated by script. It won't wait for the images to load for executing the jQuery script.
<script type = "text/javascript">
//$(window).load was deprecated in 1.8, and removed in jquery 3.0
// $(window).load(function() {
// alert("$(window).load fired");
// });
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("$(document).ready fired");
});
</script>
$(window).load fired after the $(document).ready().
$(document).ready(function(){
})
//and
$(function(){
});
//and
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});
Above 3 are same, $ is the alias name of jQuery, you may face conflict if any other JavaScript Frameworks uses the same dollar symbol $. If u face conflict jQuery team provide a solution no-conflict read more.
$(window).load was deprecated in 1.8, and removed in jquery 3.0
Yesterday I had an issue where a .on('click') event handler I was assigning wasn't working right. Turns out it's because I was was trying to apply that .on('click') before that element existed in the DOM, because it was being loaded via AJAX, and therefore didn't exist yet when the document.ready() got to that point.
I solved it with an awkward workaround, but my question is, if I were to put a <script> tag IN the ajax loaded content and another document.ready() within that, would that second document.ready() be parsed ONLY once that ajax content is done being loaded? In other words, does it consider that separately loaded ajax content to be another document, and if so, does having another document.ready() within that ajax-loaded HTML work the way I think it does?
Alternatively; what would be a better way to handle this situation? (needing to attach an event listener to a DOM element that doesn't yet exist on document.ready())
To answer your question: No, document.ready will not fire again once a ajax request is completed. (The content in the ajax is loaded into your document, so there isn't a second document for the ajax content).
To solve your problem just add the event listener to the Element where you load the ajax content into it.
For example:
$( "div.ajaxcontent-container" ).on( "click", "#id-of-the-element-in-the-ajax-content", function() {
console.log($( this ));
});
For #id-of-the-element-in-the-ajax-content you can use any selector you would use in $("selector"). The only difference is, only elements under div.ajaxcontent-container will be selected.
How it works:
As long as div.ajaxcontent-container exists all elements (if they exist now or only in the future) that match the selector #id-of-the-element-in-the-ajax-content will trigger this click-event.
Javascript in the resulting ajax call will not be excecuted (by default) due to safety. Also, you can't directly bind event to non-existing elements.
You can bind an event to some parent that does exist, and tell it to check it's children:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('eventName', '#nonExistingElement', function(){ alert(1); }
// or:
$('#existingParent').on('eventName', '#nonExistingElement', function(){ alert(1); }
});
Always try to get as close to the triggering element as you can, this will prevent unnessesary bubbling through the DOM
If you have some weird functions going on, you could do something like this:
function bindAllDocReadyThings(){
$('#nonExistingElement').off().on('eventName', function(){ alert(1); }
// Note the .off() this time, it removes all other events to set them again
}
$(document).ready(function(){
bindAllDocReadyThings();
});
$.ajaxComplete(function(){
bindAllDocReadyThings();
});
try this, that is not working because your control is not yet created and you are trying to attach a event, if you use on event it will work fine. let me know if you face any issues.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('click', '#element', function (evt) {
alert($(this).val());
});
});
The answer here is a delegated event:
JSFiddle
JSFiddle - Truly dynamic
jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
// Listen for a button within .container to get clicked because .container is not dynamic
$('.container').on('click', 'input[type="button"]', function(){
alert($(this).val());
});
// we bound the click listener to .container child elements so any buttons inside of it get noticed
$('.container').append('<input type="button" class="dynamically_added" value="button2">');
$('.container').append('<input type="button" class="dynamically_added" value="button3">');
$('.container').append('<input type="button" class="dynamically_added" value="button4">');
$('.container').append('<input type="button" class="dynamically_added" value="button5">');
});
HTML
<div class="container">
<input type="button" class="dynamically_added" value="button1">
</div>
I'm working on a code-base with a friend that has a similar requirement. The delegated event handler option is definitely best if all you want is to attach event handlers. An alternative, especially if you need to do other DOM processing in your $(document).ready function, is to put the code you want run into a script element at the end of your code. Basically, instead of:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Your code here
});
</script>
<!-- rest of dynamically loaded HTML -->
Try swapping the script and the rest of the HTML around so you have:
<!-- rest of dynamically loaded HTML -->
<script type="text/javascript">
// Your code here
</script>
This forces the browser to only process your code once it has loaded every other DOM element in the dynamically loaded HTML. Of course this means you'll have to make sure the inserted HTML does not have unintended UI consequences by using CSS/HTML instead of JS. Its an old Javascript trick from years gone by. As a bonus, you don't need jQuery for this anymore.
I should mention that in Chromium v34, putting a second $(document).ready call inside a <script> tag in the dynamically loaded HTML seems to wait for dynamically loaded DOM to load and then runs the function as you described. I'm not sure this behaviour is standard though as it has caused me great grief when trying to automate tests with this kind of code in it.
JQuery AJAX .load() has a built-in feature for handling this.
Instead of simply $('div#content').load('such_a_such.url'); you should include a callback function. JQuery .load() provides room for the following:
$('div#content').load('such_a_such.url',
{ data1: "First Data Parameter",
data2: 2,
data3: "etc" },
function(){ $('#span1').text("This function is the equivalent of");
$('#span2').text("the $(document).ready function.");
}
);
However, you do not need to include the data argument.
$( "#result" ).load( "ajax/test.html", function() {
alert( "Load was performed." );
});

sorry for the title...
so i separated the index.html into divs then i called the contant using :
<script>$(function(){$("#work_bunch").load("wb.html"); });</script>
and it works fine but i wont to use jquery on the elements in wb.html
i used this in index :
<script type="text/javascript" src="java_scripts/wb_op.js"></script>
what ever i write in the .js file it seems to work fine in the index
but i can't select any element in wb.html
for example (if img5 is an element wb.html) :
$("#img5").mouseover(function(){
$(img5).fadeOut(2000);
});
You need to use event delegation:
$(document).on('mouseover', '#element_in_wb_page', function() {
// your function
});
In your case:
$(document).on('mouseover', '#img5', function() {
$(this).fadeOut(2000);
});
Delegate the event:
$("#work_bunch").on("mouseover", "#img5", function(){
$(this).fadeOut(2000);
});
When DOM was ready your elements were not there they come into view afterwards so at the time of DOM ready all the events were bound to existing elements. If any element is generated dynamically or put into the view via ajax any event will not be bound to them.
So the solution to cater this issue is to try to delegate the event to the closest static parent whenever possible, although you can delegate to document also but that is way expensive in lookup of that dom elements.
explaining syntax:
$(parentToDelegate).on(event, selector, callbackFn);
If you are including .js in head tag, then you need to make use document.ready()
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#img5").mouseover(function(){
$(this).fadeOut(2000);
});
});
here is what i found to be more general solution
use
$(window).load(function() {
// executes when complete page is fully loaded, including all frames, objects and images
});
instead of
$(document).ready(function() {
// executes when HTML-Document is loaded and DOM is ready
});
because:
- The document ready event executes already when the HTML-Document is loaded.
- The window load event executes a bit later when the complete page is fully loaded, including all frames, objects and images.
use delegate method on if content added dynamically
$("#work_bunch").on("mouseover", "#img5", (function(){
$(this).fadeOut(2000);
});
and typo issue $(img5) to $("#img5")
I have a simple custom tabbing module, that loads tabs with an AJAX request (via $(elem).load()). On each page that is loaded with AJAX I have some JavaScript. The first time the page loads (via direct input of URL, not AJAX), the javascript fires up perfectly. When I navigate away from the page via the AJAX tabs, the javascripts from the pages aren't loading anymore.
Is there any way I can force them to execute?
(The javascript that is not firing is placed in a $(document).ready() function if that helps)
You need to use callback of load() function:
$(elem).load('source.html', function() {
// here you need to perofrm something what you need
ActionOnDocumentReady();
});
You can put all your actions in $(document).ready into some function (ex ActionOnDocumentReady()) and call it on load() callback.
the domeready event fires only when is initial dom is ready (like the name and the jquery-api suggest).
if you want to use jquerys load() and fire a function if that loading has been done, you'll have to use a callback-function (according to the api).
if you want to do the same thing on domready and load-events, the best way would be to define a new function for that:
function dostuff(){
// do some stuff here
}
and fire this function in both cases:
$(function(){ // domready | shortcut for "$(document).ready()"
dostuff();
})
$('#something').load('script.php', function() { // callback on load()
dostuff();
});
Put your $(document).ready() code in a new method. Lets call it methodA. Now call this methodA from $(document).ready(). Secondly, call the same method after ajax request is successful. That should solve your problem.
