How can I observe changes to my DOM and react to them with jQuery?

I have this function where I toggle a class on click, but also append HTML to an element, still based on that click.
The problem is that now, I'm not listening to any DOM changes at all, so, once I do my first click, yup, my content will be added, but if I click once again - the content gets added again, because as far as this instance of jQuery is aware, the element is not there.
Here's my code:
(function($) {
"use strict";
var closePluginsList = $('#go-back-to-setup-all');
var wrapper = $('.dynamic-container');
$('#install-selected-plugins, #go-back-to-setup-all').on('click', function(event) {
$('.setup-theme-container').toggleClass('plugins-list-enabled');
if ( !wrapper.has('.plugins-container') ){
var markup = generate_plugins_list_markup();
wrapper.append(markup);
} else {
$('.plugins-container').hide();
}
});
//Below here, there's a lot of code that gets put into the markup variable. It's just generating the HTML I'm adding.
})(jQuery);
Someone suggested using data attributes, but I've no idea how to make them work in this situation.
Any ideas?

You could just do something like adding a flag and check for it before adding your markup.
var flag = 0;
$('#install-selected-plugins, #go-back-to-setup-all').on('click', function(event) {
$('.setup-theme-container').toggleClass('plugins-list-enabled');
if ( !wrapper.has('.plugins-container') ){
var markup = generate_plugins_list_markup();
if(flag == 0){
wrapper.append(markup);
flag = 1;
}
} else {
$('.plugins-container').hide();
}
});

If you want to add element once only on click then you should make use of .one() and put logic you want to execute once only in that handler.
Example :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("p").one("click", function(){
//this will get execute once only
$(this).animate({fontSize: "+=6px"});
});
$("p").on("click", function(){
//this get execute multiple times
alert('test');
});
});
html
<p>Click any p element to increase its text size. The event will only trigger once for each p element.</p>

Jquery change color condition

Hi everyone I have an issue with Jquery :
I have a multiple selection and the user can select one thing and it will copy the text into an input above. I would like that the text in the multiple selection that will be copied become red if the button is clicked so did you understand? I don't know how to do condition in Jquery, here is what I have done :
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($choose = true)
{
$("ok").click(function(){
$("droite").css({"background-color":"yellow"});
}
});
});
droite is an id and no it's not working but I would like to know how it works
choose is a function here it is :
var choose = function(bouton){
var lesoptions = $('#droite').find(":selected");
//lesoptions.remove();
$('#numLot').val(lesoptions[0].text);
};
Can I have your opinion ?
thanks

$("ok") is wrong. it should be $("#ok") or $(".ok") or whatever.
compare operator is == instead =

Try to use like below,
var $Choose;
//Assign value to $Choose as like true or false
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($choose)
{
//If you have id like ok use "#" or if class use "." instead
$("#ok").click(function(){
$("#droite").css({"background-color":"yellow"});
});
}
});
Hope this helps...

You have to use . selector before class names and # before id names.
Read about selectors: jQuery Selectors
Since choose is a function so, you will have to return something and check if it returns true/false. So make your function like this:
function choose(bouton){
var something = /*your return value*/; //Put your return value here
var lesoptions = $('#droite').find(":selected");
$('#numLot').val(lesoptions[0].text);
return something; //something is what you want to be returned by function
};
If $choose is not defined while you are putting it in if condition then you will not get proper working.
If #ok is added dynamically then use delegation using .on.
You should put code like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
var $choose = choose(bouton);
if ($choose)
{
$("#ok").on("click",function(){ //Again not mentioned what is ok, still like you told I assume it id
$("#droite").css("background-color","yellow");
});
}
});

how to hide submenu after click

I'm creating a dropdown menu for mobile site
http://gthost.dyndns.org/kudu/en/
when I click on My Account and click on Who we are, submenu still show,,
I Want to hide it after I click on the link.
this is JavaScript code
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function () {
$j(".account").click(function () {
var X = $j(this).attr('id');
if (X == 1) {
$j(".submenu").hide();
$j(this).attr('id', '0');
} else {
$j(".submenu").show();
$j(this).attr('id', '1');
}
});
//Mouseup textarea false
$j(".submenu").mouseup(function () {
return false
});
$j(".account").mouseup(function () {
return false
});
//Textarea without editing.
$j(document).mouseup(function () {
$j(".submenu").hide();
$j(".account").attr('id', '');
});
});

i would try using:
$('.submenu').css({display:"none"});
instead of .hide();

Two things strike me as odd here.
Why are your ID's integers - valid names start with [a-z_] etc.
Why are you changing the ID? An ID is meant to be a unique identifier and should persist as long as the element does. If you wish to store information about the state of an element within the element itself, then perhaps look into data attributes.
Without seeing your HTML structure everyone is going to be guessing but rather than whatever you are trying to do with the ID's it looks like you could logically use jQuery.toggle:
$j(".account").click(function(){
$j(".submenu").toggle();
});

How Store and Disable Event of another element Temporary

I am looking for a way to manage the events. I have a hover function for element A, and click function for element B. I want to disable A`s hover function temporary while the second click of B.
I am looking for a way that not necessary to rewrite the hole function of A inside of B. Something very simply just like "Store and Disable Event, Call Stored Function"
I found some technique like .data('events') and console.log. I tired but failed, or maybe I wrote them in a wrong way.
Please help and advice!
$(A).hover();
$(b).click(
if($.hasData($(A)[0])){ // if A has event,
//STORE all the event A has, and disable
}else{
//ENABLE the stored event for A
}
);

Try this
var hoverme = function() {
alert('Hover Event Fired');
};
$('.A').hover(hoverme);
var i = 0;
$('.B').on('click', function(){
if(i%2 === 0){
// Unbind event
$('.A').off('hover');
}
else{
// Else bind the event
$('.A').hover(hoverme);
}
i++;
});
Check Fiddle

I think that what you want to do is something like this (example for JQuery 1.7.2):
$("#a").hover(function(){alert("test")});
$("#a")[0].active=true;
$("#b").click(function(){
if($("#a")[0].active){
$("#a")[0].storedEvents = [];
var hoverEvents = $("#a").data("events").mouseover;
jQuery.each(hoverEvents , function(key,handlerObj) {
$("#a")[0].storedEvents.push(handlerObj.handler);
});
$("#a").off('hover');
}else{
for(var i=0;i<$("#a")[0].storedEvents.length;i++){
$("#a").hover($("#a")[0].storedEvents[i]);
}
}
$("#a")[0].active = ($("#a")[0].active)==false;
});​
JSFiddle Example
But there are a couple of things that you must have in consideration:
This will only work if you add the events with JQuery, because JQuery keeps an internal track of the event handlers that have been added.
Each version of JQuery handles data("events") differently, that means that this code may not work with other version of JQuery.
I hope that this helps.
EDIT:
data("events") was an internal undocumented data structure used in JQuery 1.6 and JQUery 1.7, but it has been removed in JQuery 1.8. So in JQuery 1.8 the only way to access the events data is through: $._data(element, "events"). But keep in mind the advice from the JQuery documentation: this is not a supported public interface; the actual data structures may change incompatibly from version to version.

You could try having a variable that is outside the scope of functions a and b, and use that variable to trigger the action to take in function b on function a.
var state;
var a = function() {
if(!state) {
state = true;
// Add hover action and other prep. I'd create a third function to handle this.
console.log(state);
};
var b = function() {
if(state) {
state = false;
// Do unbinding of hover code with third function.
} else {
state = true;
// Do whatever else you needed to do
}
}
Without knowing more about what you're trying to do, I'd try something similar to this.

It sounds like you want to disable the click hover event for A if B is clicked.
$("body").on("hover", "#a", function(){
alert("hovering");
});
$("#b").click( function(){
$("body").off("hover", "#a", function() {
alert("removed hovering");
});
});
You can use the jQuery off method, have a look at this fiddle. http://jsfiddle.net/nKLwK/1/

Define a function to assign to hover on A element, so in b click, call unbind('hover') for A element and in second click on b element define again a function to hover, like this:
function aHover(eventObject) {
// Todo when the mouse enter object. You can use $(this) here
}
function aHoverOut(eventObject) {
// Todo when the mouse leave the object. You can use $(this) here
}
$(A).hover(aHover, aHoverOut);
// ...
$(b).click(function(eventObject) {
if($.hasData($(A)[0])){ // if A has event,
$(A).unbind('mouseenter mouseleave'); // This is because not a event hover, jQuery convert the element.hover(hoverIn, hoverOut) in element.bind('mouseenter', hoverIn) and element.bind('mouseleave', hoverOut)
}else{
$(A).hover(aHover, aHoverOut);
}
});

There are provably better ways to do it, but this works fine, on document ready do this:
$("#a")[0].active=false;
$("#b").click(function(){
$("#a")[0].active = ($("#a")[0].active)==false;
if($("#a")[0].active){
$("#a").hover(function(){alert("test")});
}else{
$("#a").off('hover');
}
});
JSFiddle example

You can use .off function from jQuery to unbind the hover on your "a" element.
function hoverA() {
alert('I\'m on hover');
}
$('#a').hover( hoverA );
var active = true;
$('#b').on('click', function(){
if(active){
$('#a').off('hover');
active = false;
} else{
$('#a').hover(hoverA);
active = true;
}
});

How to call a function with jQuery blur UNLESS clicking on a link?

I have a small jQuery script:
$('.field').blur(function() {
$(this).next().children().hide();
});
The children that is hidden contains some links. This makes it impossible to click the links (because they get hidden). What is an appropriate solution to this?
This is as close as I have got:
$('.field').blur(function() {
$('*').not('.adress').click(function(e) {
foo = $(this).data('events').click;
if(foo.length <= 1) {
// $(this).next('.spacer').children().removeClass("visible");
}
$(this).unbind(e);
});
});
The uncommented line is suppose to refer to the field that is blurred, but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

You can give it a slight delay, like this:
$('.field').blur(function() {
var kids = $(this).next().children();
setTimeout(function() { kids.hide(); }, 10);
});
This gives you time to click before those child links go away.

This is how I ended up doing it:
var curFocus;
$(document).delegate('*','mousedown', function(){
if ((this != curFocus) && // don't bother if this was the previous active element
($(curFocus).is('.field')) && // if it was a .field that was blurred
!($(this).is('.adress'))
) {
$('.' + $(curFocus).attr("id")).removeClass("visible"); // take action based on the blurred element
}
curFocus = this; // log the newly focussed element for the next event
});

I believe you can use .not('a') in this situation:
$('.field').not('a').blur(function() {
$(this).next().children().hide();
});
This isn't tested, so I am not sure if this will work or not.
