I have some popup dialogs on my webpage, in each of these dialogs I have defined some click event with jQuery :
$(".links_view").click(function(e){ //code });
But the problem is when I activate one this click event, it will be executed in each dialog...
$(".links_view").click(function(e){ e.preventDefault() });
also have your dialogs different class OR id!?
I believe you want to isolate your click attachment; to do this, just make your selector (currently ".links_view") more specific.
For example, if you have the following HTML
<div id="one">
<button class="links_view">Hi</button>
</div>
<div id="two">
<button class="links_view">Ho</button>
</div>
the code $('.links_view') will grab both, but you can use $('#one .links_view') to just get the first or $('#two .links_view') for the second.
Here's a good tutorial on selectors: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/selectorref

I have a simple share button aside every post, I'm using .toggle() function to show and hide the options. The code looks something like this:
<div id="posts">
<div class="post">
<div class="content">
Post content
</div>
<div class="share">
<div class="trigger"> Share </div>
<div class="hidden"> Share on Facebook </div>
<div class="hidden"> Share on Twitter </div>
</div>
</div><!-- each post -->
<div id="new">
</div><!-- new post container -->
</div><!-- Posts -->
<script>
function shareThis(){
$('.trigger').click(function(){
$(this).siblings().toggle();
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
shareThis();
$('#new').load("/post2", function(){
shareThis();
});
});
</script>
I call this function once when the page loads, and then every time a new post is loaded.
The problem is, it works in the first time when the page is loaded, and just works for the new element when a new post is loaded. I also tried this with 'each' function but same result.
So it's just working for the last call, similar to these question i found here and here, and some others, but didn't get a solution for my problem there.
Thanks!
The problem is, it works in the first time when the page is loaded, and just works for the new element when a new post is loaded.
Your issue could be that you are binding the event twice (or as many number of times you load #new contents) to the existing .trigger by calling shareThis inside the load callback. So basically when you click on the old .trigger it will trigger the handler twice, i.e toggling it twice which keeps them in the same state. SO either bind the event to the newly added ones alone or turn the click event off and turn it on in the function shareThis:
function shareThis(){
$('.trigger').off('click').on('click', function(){
$(this).siblings().toggle();
});
}
You could also try:
function shareThis(ctx){
ctx = ctx || document;
$('.trigger', ctx).click(function(){
$(this).siblings().toggle();
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
shareThis();
$('#new').load("/post2", function(){
shareThis(this);
});
});
Try binding the click to the document instead. Only need to do it once :)
$(document).on('click', '.trigger', function () {
$(this).siblings().toggle();
}).ready(function () {
$('#new').load("/post2");
});

I need to create a simple button made only of an image, and which will open a JQuery Dialog when the user clicks on it.
I am doing some reading and notice many solutions: <button>, <image> with a <a>, using CSS to modify a button background, etc...
This is confusing, what is the proper way to implement my image button?
Thanks.
P.S.: The button/image should be focussable. An operational JSFiddle example is welcome.
The proper way largely depends on what the button will do if JavaScript is not available.
If you are going to submit a form then:
<button> <img src="..." alt="..."> </button>
If you are going to go to a URL then:
<img src="..." alt="...">
If you are going to do absolutely nothing (generally not a good idea, you should follow the principles of Progressive Enhancement and Unobtrusive JavaScript, but acceptable if you only generate the button with JavaScript in the first place and the loss to the user is convenience rather then essential functionality):
<button type="button"> <img src="..." alt="..."> </button>
You then bind the JavaScript to either the form's submit event, or the button/anchor's click event and prevent the default behaviour so the form won't be submitted / the link won't be followed if the JavaScript executes successfully.
Create a button and put background-image for it.
Checkout the fiddle.

I found the solution after many struggles: http://jsfiddle.net/YRY8M/3/.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<input type="image" tabindex="0" onclick="doSomething()" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/White_and_yellow_flower.JPG/320px-White_and_yellow_flower.JPG"
/>
<br />
<button tabindex="1">I am focussable too !!!</button>
</body>
</html>
And some javascript:
function doSomething() {
alert('Hello!');
}
It depends on what you want to do in every case. There is no guideline that says "you should do it like this", but there are situations that some cases are more suitable than others.
For example according to this review, IE versions of 8 and below have some buggy behaviour regarding <button> tag when trying to use it as a submit button.
Ηowever the <button> has some new attributes added in HTML5 which you can see here , ammong them is autofocus and other useful that will be supported by most modern major browsers.
In your case that you want to maintain the "focus" (i assume with tabbing support), if you use a single <image> as a button (with or without <a>), you will have to add some JS code to make the image focusable when the appropriate tab is pressed. So you will have to write a bit more code to do the same thing.
There is one more solution which might be suitable for you, since you do not need to submit the form to server side. Using the <input type="image" type and defining the src attribute inside it, will be focusable and not require neither any JS code to run nor any difficult CSS. You can find more about it's syntax here
So, it ends up to you to decide which one of all them to use.
I would use the one that i find more flexible, easier for me to code, easily reusable and is supported by most of my target browsers.
Use jQuery as you own it...
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#theBtn{
margin: 20% auto 0;
background: url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/White_and_yellow_flower.JPG/320px-White_and_yellow_flower.JPG');
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="theBtn"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#theBtn").click(function(){
if(confirm('Are you sure?')){
$("#theBtn").fadeOut('slow');
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Inside a <button> tag , put your image, and attach an click event to <button> to open the dialog on click.
JSFiddle
First thing, There is either an image or a button. But not both.
I would say, create an image and place your code in the onclick() function of that image.
var img= $("#my-image-id");
image.click(function() {
// your code here
}
As I know You can't change the look of the Safari buttons thats why I suggest to use a for the solution. Here is my simple code: http://jsfiddle.net/djgBK/1/
The basis is:
Take an a element put the link content to the left,
Then replace it with image that is actualy it's background. Becouse it's a element user can select it usin only TAB button.
What's more using an a elemet will let You to put title which will be displayed after hovering/entering over the button.
I have a problem on the following code, imagine the rest is okay (html, head, body etc)
What I want to do is, when you click on one of the buttons the hidden text/images in the section show or hide, the code does that just fine. The problem is I also want it to take you to an anchor in that newly appeared section when you click on the button, and I cant seem to do that.
Here's the code on the HTML
<h2 class="especial">TITLE</h2>
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage2.png" onclick="show_section2();">Section2</p>
<hr>
<div id="Section1" style="display:none">
<a id="Section1_anchor"><h2 class="especial">Sect1TittleHere</h2></a>
<p class="interior">Blablah this is the content of section1</p>
</div>
<div id="Section2" style="display:none">
<a id="Section2_anchor"><h2 class="especial">Sect2TittleHere</h2></a>
<p class="interior">Blablah content of section2</p>
</div>
And here's the JS function that controls the onclick event, I have one for each section, but they are all the same.
<script language='javascript'>
//Variables
var sect1_guardian=0, sect2_guardian=0, sect3_guardian=0;
function show_sect1(){
if (sect1_guardian == 0) { document.getElementById("Section1").style.display="block";
sect1_guardian=1;
//Close the other sections if opened
document.getElementById("Section2").style.display="none";
document.getElementById("Section3").style.display="none";
//Reset guardians
sect2_guardian=0;
sect3_guardian=0;
}
else {
document.getElementById("Section1").style.display="none";
sect1_guardian=0;
}
}
Where and how should I add the link to the anchor? If i tried adding it to the button tag and the onclick event. I do something like this
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
Because the onclick event is in the image and I don't want the text to be hiperlinked. Clearly I'm loosing something/doing something wrong, probably an humiliating mistake, but I ask for suggestions and corrections.
If it's exactly a copy paste of your code, the onclick handler is called 'show_section1()' and the function is called 'show_sect1()'. Notice sect != section :) .
Should we look further?
You can have the html you proposed and do something like this:
window.location = document.getElementById("Section1").parentNode.href;
Replace 'Section1' with your particular section.
Allright, I found a solution, it was far easier and probably nobody said it because I was presenting the problem in the wrong way, but perhaps this will help somebody.
I wanted to make the button take you to an anchor in the document, right?
The code above worked well, you clicked on the button and it showed hidden text, or hide it.
Now, adding the following to the button code, it does the anchor thingy also.
<p class="normal"><input type=image src="images/img_beta/buttonimage1.png" onclick="show_section1();">Section1</p>
I just added a tag to link the button, and used the HTML id (which I already used for the JS) to function as an anchor. I hope to have explained it clearly, and that it helps somebody!
Key was, use the html id as an anchor
Ok I have a small question.
I have the following
<div><span class="spanright" onclick"">Update</span><label class="myinfo"><b>Business information:</b></label></div>
What I want to do is when the user clicks on the span it changes the html after the label an adds an input box and submit button.
I think I need to do a this.document but not sure
Hi hope this might give you a small understanding of what to do when it comes to registering events. StackOverflow is about you learning how to do something, so we dont write the scripts for you, we are just trying to point you in the right direction of it.

I would recommend you to import jQuery library, as done in the example, if possible. It makes the the world of javascript alot easier!
Documentation to look up:
http://api.jquery.com/insertAfter/
http://api.jquery.com/bind/
Look up some jQuery tutorials! there is alot of them out there.
I added a form which will hold the input
JavaScript:
function showInput()
{
document.getElementById('container').innerHTML += '<input type="text"/><input type="submit"/>';
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<span class="spanright" onclick"showInput()">Update</span>
<label class="myinfo"><b>Business information:</b></label>
</div>
Summoner's answer is right, but I prefer using jquery (it's loaded on almost every page I work with):
HTML:
<div id="container">
<span class="spanright">Update</span>
<label class="container"><b>Business information:</b></label>
</div>
Javascript:
$(".spanright").click(function(){
$("#container").append('<br /><input type="text"/><input type="submit"/>');
$(".spanright").unbind('click');
});
This way, the click event will work once, as it is what you probably intended.
Try this in jquery flavor --
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".spanright").click(function(){
$(".myinfo").css("color","red");
});
});

I'm reading data from a database and adding it to a table to be displayed on a webpage. The table that this data is added to lies inside a panel. To view this table I would have to use this Javascript to expand the panel:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".flip").click(function(){
$(".panel").slideToggle("slow");
});
});
</script>
To see where the class names flip and panel come from see below:
<div class="panel">
<table>
...
</table>
</div>
<p class="flip" onmouseover="this.style.color='red';this.style.cursor='hand'" onmouseout="this.style.color='black';this.style.cursor='pointer'"> VIEW TABLE </p>
Now, since I'm reading data from the database iteratively, the number of item in there could be anything.
How do I do this such that each has it's own identity, so that when I click on "VIEW TABLE" then each responds on its own. At the moment when I click on one, all expand and vice-versa, obviously because the share a common class name. I've tried to make sure that the class name be the entry id, but certain things break.
add to the element you want to fire the click event and send a refrence to it for example
the div will have on click event will look like this
<div onclick="MyFunction(this);"> </div>
in the function body recieve the object then reach to the element you want
function MyFunction(sender)
{
$(sender).//now you have the element and could reach to the parent or the child as you want
}
Use .prev() for your layout:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$(".flip").live("click", function(){
$(this).prev(".panel").slideToggle("slow");
});
});
</script>
This will select the previous class="panel" to the class="flip" you clicked and slideToggle it. Also, since you may have any number of these handlers that will be the same, I suggest you use .live() like my example above, using 1 event handler instead of n event handlers.
Can you assign a new id for each 'panel' based on something in the db, or just with a sequential number? If so, then you could try this:
<div class="panel" id="panel_1">
<table>
...
</table>
</div>
<p class="flip" onClick="$(".panel_1").slideToggle("slow"); " ... >
<div class="panel" id="panel_2">
</div>
<p class="flip" onClick="$(".panel_2").slideToggle("slow"); " ... >
etc.
Making this assumption: You saying you have a new <div... for each new <p... and that the mouse over (or click) of the <p> should show the cooresponding <div>.
Try using this: for cooresponding instances.
$('.flip').click(function()
{
$('.panel').eq($(this).index()).slideToggle("slow");
});
