I have two forms
<form name='myform1'>
<input type='button' class='submitBtn'>
</form>
<form name='myform2'>
<input type='button' class='submitBtn'>
</form>
Both forms have a button with same class. How can I capture click event of only myform1's button(submitBtn) in jQuery?
Thanks.
WRONG: u cant have same id on a same page
otherwise do below
TRY this
$('input[type="button"]').click(function() {
var formName=$(this).parent('form').attr('name');
if(formName =='myform1'){
alert( formName+' button is clicked');
} if(formName =='myform2'){
alert( formName+' button is clicked');
}
});
DEMO
It's not allowed to have more than one id with the same value.
Solution: use class names for visual styling and distinct IDs for capturing events.
id means identifier -- so, it should be unique in the HTML page, to allow one to identify an element.
Still, if you want to get the button which is in the form named myform1, you could use something like this :
$('form[name="myform1"] input[type="button"]')

I want to get the value of id so that I can delete the data from mysql based on the id number
This is a project for events, the main idea here is I want to get the id number of the event based on the clicked button, so that I can update/delete the event based on the id number.
Code for displaying details
<?php $sql= "SELECT event_name, event_date, event_id FROM events WHERE event_status=0";
$result= mysqli_query($conn, $sql);?>
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo '
<div class="pending-card">
<div class="pending-image">
</div>';
echo " <div class='pending-title'>
<h1>{$row["event_name"]}</h1>
</div>";
echo " <div class='pending-des'>
<p>{$row["event_date"]}</p>
<button class='choice-pending'><a href='detail.php'>Read More...</a></button>
<input style='display: none;' type='text' id='test-pend' value='{$row["event_id"]}'>
</div>
</div>
";
}
Jquery code
Here I tried to check if this works by making an alert, but after i press the button, the id number that came out is not correspond with the button i click
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.choice-pending').click(function(){
alert("Value: " + $('#test-pend').val());
});
});
Can anyone tell me where did I go wrong
Example, the event i pressed is suppose to be 34, but the alert shows 26 which is the first event id in the code for displaying details
You can use data-* attribute in your element.
Based on https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_global_data.asp
The data-* attributes is used to store custom data private to the page
or application.
The data-* attributes gives us the ability to embed custom data
attributes on all HTML elements.
The stored (custom) data can then be used in the page's JavaScript to
create a more engaging user experience (without any Ajax calls or
server-side database queries).
The data-* attributes consist of two parts:
The attribute name should not contain any uppercase letters, and must
be at least one character long after the prefix "data-" The attribute
value can be any string Note: Custom attributes prefixed with "data-"
will be completely ignored by the user agent.
<button class="choice-pending" data-event-id="<?= $row['event_id']; ?>">Read More...</button>
Then in your script you can access the clicked button:
$(".choice-pending").click(function() {
if($(this).attr('data-event-id') !== undefined) {
// You can do ajax call here to your detail.php
// Or you can simply create a hidden field inside your form, assigned the data-event-id value to it, then $("form").submit();
} else {
/** Error message here, maybe? */
}
});
First remove your anchor tag inside button and use only anchor or button and print your html with assign some dynamic class or id into each to make them unique like this.
<div class='pending-des'>
<p>{$row["event_date"]}</p>
<a class='choice-pending-{$row["event_id"]}' href='detail.php'>Read More...</a>
<input style='display: none;' type='text' id='test-pend-{$row["event_id"]}' value='{$row["event_id"]}'>
</div>
Now bind click event on it-
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.pending-des').each(function(){
$(this).on('click', 'a[class^=choice-pending-]', function(){
alert($(this).find('input[id^=test-pend-]').val());
});
});
});
I have a small search engine querying the database for a list of names. The engine returns a maximum of 5 names. There is a button next to each each person's name. When the button is clicked, my jQuery code is supposed to add only that person's name to a comma separated list. Currently, it is adding every name that the engine pulls up. Im assuming I need to utilize the this command somehow. I feels as if my div isn't properly being selected.
The Question: how do you access the text of a paragraph that exists in the same class as the button?
The paragraph and button are enclosed by a class. The paragraph has a class. The button has a class.
//jQuery function to add the name to my list of names
$(document).ready(function(){
var addList = $('.addList');
$(".addCustomer").on( "click", function() {
customerToAdd = $('.addIndividual > .searched_name').text(); //here is where the problem lies. it comma separates every name
addList.val($('.addList').val() + customerToAdd + ', ');
search.val('');
});
});
And here is my html enclosed in php. This holds the fields that are used by the jQuery above.
while($state = mysqli_fetch_assoc($states)) {
$customerid = $state['id'];
$customername = $state['name'];
echo "
<div class='addIndividual' >
<p style='float:left;' class='searched_name'>".$customername."
</p>
<button type='button' value=".$customername." class='btn btn-default addCustomer'>Assign List to a Class</button>
</div>
<hr>";
}
You need to change
$('.addIndividual > .searched_name').text();
to
$(this).val();
OR if not the same as in the customer paragraph (it does seem that it is now):
$(this).closest(".addIndividual").find('.searched_name').text();
or if the paragraph stays next to the button for sure:
$(this).prev().text();
It looks like you already have the customer's name in the value attribute of the button. You can just grab it with: $(this).val().
You should also change your button to use class="addCustomer" instead of id="addCustomer". ID's are for unique elements, while a class is for multiple elements. In your case, you have a button for each customer.
Instead of $(".addCustomer").on( ... create a function like this:
function addCustomer(index){
$('.addIndividual .searched_name_'+index).text();
// continue the script ...
}
Your while loop will now look like this:
<p style='float:left;'class='searched_name_".$customerid."'>".$customername."</p>
I built a for each loop that pulls back several rows from the database. Each row it pulls has a link, and a hidden input box with a value of posting_id. This link will work similar to a like button on facebook in a way. The hidden input box just stores the posting_id. When you click the "like" link, it sends over the posting_id to a jQuery page and pings back a page called community to tell it the user has "liked" the post.
Here's the problem
I'm pulling several rows, and it seems that only the top row being pulled is actually sending the data to the jQuery page when you click the "like" button. If I click on any other "like" button other than the top one it will not work at all.
Jquery Page
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $('.posting_id').val();
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
Foreach Loop
foreach ($result as $value) {
$group_postings .= '
<input type="text" class="posting_id" value="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link"></div>
<span id="counter"></span>
';
}
I hope I've made the issue clear, it was and is difficult to explain.
The problem is you are using a class to get the posting_id, since all the hidden fields have the same class only the first elements value is passed no matter what button you click.
i recommend using this html, without the hidden input, pass the value as a data attribute
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link" data-postid="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
and in this js, get the posting id from the data attribute
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $(this).data('postid'); // get the posting id from data attribute
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
You are calling val() on selector you might return more then one elements, but val() will give you the value of one (first) element only. You can use map() to get all values of input having class posting_id
var posting_id_values = $('.posting_id').map(function(){
return this.value;
}).get().join(',');
Your problem is this line:
var posting_id = $('.posting_id').val();
This will return the first posting_id value every time, not the one associated with the bump_link you are clicking on.
There are lots of ways to solve this. One way is to use .prev() to select the previous element:
var posting_id = $(this).prev('.posting_id').val();
this selects the previous posting_id element from the current div. This relies on the fact that the posting_id element is before the associated bump_link div.
If you want to send just the posting_id of the clicked button, you could change your PHP/HTML code like this:
foreach ($result as $value) {
$group_postings .= '
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link">
<input type="text" class="posting_id" value="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
</div>
<span id="counter"></span>
';
}
And your JS code like this:
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $(this).find('.posting_id').val();
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
use on delegated event since you are adding the content dynamically and
$(this).prev('.posting_id') // to get the posting data value
$(document).on('click','.bump_link',function(){
var posting_id = $(this).prev('.posting_id').val(); //<-- use $(this) reference
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
I have a comment system in which i want to add delete option, for this i have implemented a POST form in each comment which posts comment-id to delete.php, it is working in php, but not in jquery.
i.e in order to delete comment a comment id must be posted to delete.php file which handles deletion of comment from database.
i am trying to fetch that comment-id from input value to post with jquery like this but it gives me the first comment-id value not the selected value.
Jquery
$('form[name=comments]').submit(function(){
var comment_delete = $("input[name=comment-delete]").val();
//$.post('../../delete.php', {value1:comment_delete}, function(data){alert('deleted')});
alert(comment_delete);
return false;
});
repeating form is like this
<form name="comments" action="../../delete.php" method="post">
<input name="comment-delete" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $list['comment-id']; ?>" />
<input value="Delete" type="submit" />
</form>
if i use .each() or .map() it gives me all the comment-id values.
Please see and suggest any possible way to do this.
Thanks.
To find the relevant input, that is the one of the form you submit, you could use this :
$('form[name=comments]').submit(function(){
var comment_delete = $(this).find("input[name=comment-delete]");
BTW, I'm not totally sure of what you do but you might be missing a .val() to get the value of the input.
You have the same name on each hidden input, naturally you get all those inputs as you have not targeted the correct form when doing:
$("input[name=comment-delete]");
"this" whould point to the form inside your submit function. Try this.
$('form[name=comments]').submit(function(){
var comment_delete = $(this).find("input[name=comment-delete]");
//$.post('../../delete.php', {value1:comment_delete}, function(data){alert('deleted')});
alert(comment_delete);
return false;
});
As dystroy said, you are probably missing .val().
var commentId = $(this).find("input[name=comment-delete]").val();
try this
$('form[name=comments]').submit(function(){
var comment_delete = $("input[name=comment-delete]", this);
//$.post('../../delete.php', {value1:comment_delete}, function(data){alert('deleted')});
alert(comment_delete);
return false;
});
this refers to the form being submitted (more generally, to the event source).
$(...) accepts a second parameter, which is then used as a context for the selector. $(selector, context) is equivalent to $(context).find(selector)
I need to display a comment button which toggles a div that contains the textbox and submit comment button, but the problem I am facing is that the comments div of the first post toggles properly on click but the rest don't work
My code-
$("#comment").click(function(){
var class = $(this).attr("class");
var count = $("#text").size();
$(".comments"+class).slideToggle(100);
if (count === 0) {
$(".comments").append("<br><input type='text' id='text' class='comment'/><input type='submit' value='Comment' id='login' />");
}
else{
}
});
You can only have one element with the id of comment. Try switching that to a show-comment class.
Because with $("#comment").click(function(){ ... you only pick the first element with the ID 'comment' - but i guess, you have several posts, right? :) So make it a class instead!
