Is there something in jquery that would allow me to differentiate between behavior on double click and single click?
When I bind both to same element only the single click gets executed.
Is there a way that wait for some time before execution of the single click to see if the user clicks again or not?
Thanks :)
This question is related to
jquery
jquery-selectors
Below is my simple approach to the issue.
JQuery function:
jQuery.fn.trackClicks = function () {
if ($(this).attr("data-clicks") === undefined) $(this).attr("data-clicks", 0);
var timer;
$(this).click(function () {
$(this).attr("data-clicks", parseInt($(this).attr("data-clicks")) + 1);
if (timer) clearTimeout(timer);
var item = $(this);
timer = setTimeout(function() {
item.attr("data-clicks", 0);
}, 1000);
});
}
Implementation:
$(function () {
$("a").trackClicks();
$("a").click(function () {
if ($(this).attr("data-clicks") === "2") {
// Double clicked
}
});
});
Inspect the clicked element in Firefox/Chrome to see data-clicks go up and down as you click, adjust time (1000) to suit.
You could probably write your own custom implementation of click/dblclick to have it wait for an extra click. I don't see anything in the core jQuery functions that would help you achieve this.
Quote from .dblclick() at the jQuery site
It is inadvisable to bind handlers to both the click and dblclick events for the same element. The sequence of events triggered varies from browser to browser, with some receiving two click events before the dblclick and others only one. Double-click sensitivity (maximum time between clicks that is detected as a double click) can vary by operating system and browser, and is often user-configurable.
This solution works for me
var DELAY = 250, clicks = 0, timer = null;
$(".fc-event").click(function(e) {
if (timer == null) {
timer = setTimeout(function() {
clicks = 0;
timer = null;
// single click code
}, DELAY);
}
if(clicks === 1) {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = null;
clicks = -1;
// double click code
}
clicks++;
});
I made some changes to the above answers here which still works great: http://jsfiddle.net/arondraper/R8cDR/
Look at the following code
$("#clickMe").click(function (e) {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.hasClass('clicked')){
alert("Double click");
//here is your code for double click
return;
}else{
$this.addClass('clicked');
//your code for single click
setTimeout(function() {
$this.removeClass('clicked'); },500);
}//end of else
});
Demo goes here http://jsfiddle.net/cB484/
Sure, bind two handlers, one to click and the other to dblclick. Create a variable that increments on every click. then resets after a set delay. Inside the setTimeout function you can do something...
var DELAY = 2000,
clicks = 0,
timer = null;
$('a').bind({
click: function(e) {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout(function() {
clicks = 0;
}, DELAY);
if(clicks === 1) {
alert(clicks);
//do something here
clicks = 0;
}
//Increment clicks
clicks++;
},
dblclick: function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); //don't do anything
}
});
This is a method you can do using the basic JavaScript, which is works for me:
var v_Result;
function OneClick() {
v_Result = false;
window.setTimeout(OneClick_Nei, 500)
function OneClick_Nei() {
if (v_Result != false) return;
alert("single click");
}
}
function TwoClick() {
v_Result = true;
alert("double click");
}
var singleClickTimer = 0; //define a var to hold timer event in parent scope
jqueryElem.click(function(e){ //using jquery click handler
if (e.detail == 1) { //ensure this is the first click
singleClickTimer = setTimeout(function(){ //create a timer
alert('single'); //run your single click code
},250); //250 or 1/4th second is about right
}
});
jqueryElem.dblclick(function(e){ //using jquery dblclick handler
clearTimeout(singleClickTimer); //cancel the single click
alert('double'); //run your double click code
});
The solution given from "Nott Responding" seems to fire both events, click and dblclick when doubleclicked. However I think it points in the right direction.
I did a small change, this is the result :
$("#clickMe").click(function (e) {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.hasClass('clicked')){
$this.removeClass('clicked');
alert("Double click");
//here is your code for double click
}else{
$this.addClass('clicked');
setTimeout(function() {
if ($this.hasClass('clicked')){
$this.removeClass('clicked');
alert("Just one click!");
//your code for single click
}
}, 500);
}
});
Try it
Same as the above answer but allows for triple click. (Delay 500) http://jsfiddle.net/luenwarneke/rV78Y/1/
var DELAY = 500,
clicks = 0,
timer = null;
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a")
.on("click", function(e){
clicks++; //count clicks
timer = setTimeout(function() {
if(clicks === 1) {
alert('Single Click'); //perform single-click action
} else if(clicks === 2) {
alert('Double Click'); //perform single-click action
} else if(clicks >= 3) {
alert('Triple Click'); //perform Triple-click action
}
clearTimeout(timer);
clicks = 0; //after action performed, reset counter
}, DELAY);
})
.on("dblclick", function(e){
e.preventDefault(); //cancel system double-click event
});
});

i am implementing this simple solution , http://jsfiddle.net/533135/VHkLR/5/
html code
<p>Click on this paragraph.</p>
<b> </b>
script code
var dbclick=false;
$("p").click(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
if(dbclick ==false){
$("b").html("clicked")
}
},200)
}).dblclick(function(){
dbclick = true
$("b").html("dbclicked")
setTimeout(function(){
dbclick = false
},300)
});
its not much laggy
I've written a jQuery plugin that allow also to delegate the click and dblclick events
// jQuery plugin to bind both single and double click to objects
// parameter 'delegateSelector' is optional and allow to delegate the events
// parameter 'dblclickWait' is optional default is 300
(function($) {
$.fn.multipleClicks = function(delegateSelector, clickFun, dblclickFun, dblclickWait) {
var obj;
if (typeof(delegateSelector)==='function' && typeof(clickFun)==='function') {
dblclickWait = dblclickFun; dblclickFun = clickFun; clickFun = delegateSelector; delegateSelector = null; // If 'delegateSelector' is missing reorder arguments
} else if (!(typeof(delegateSelector)==='string' && typeof(clickFun)==='function' && typeof(dblclickFun)==='function')) {
return false;
}
return $(this).each(function() {
$(this).on('click', delegateSelector, function(event) {
var self = this;
clicks = ($(self).data('clicks') || 0)+1;
$(self).data('clicks', clicks);
if (clicks == 1) {
setTimeout(function(){
if ($(self).data('clicks') == 1) {
clickFun.call(self, event); // Single click action
} else {
dblclickFun.call(self, event); // Double click action
}
$(self).data('clicks', 0);
}, dblclickWait || 300);
}
});
});
};
})(jQuery);
(function($){
$.click2 = function (elm, o){
this.ao = o;
var DELAY = 700, clicks = 0;
var timer = null;
var self = this;
$(elm).on('click', function(e){
clicks++;
if(clicks === 1){
timer = setTimeout(function(){
self.ao.click(e);
}, DELAY);
} else {
clearTimeout(timer);
self.ao.dblclick(e);
}
}).on('dblclick', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
};
$.click2.defaults = { click: function(e){}, dblclick: function(e){} };
$.fn.click2 = function(o){
o = $.extend({},$.click2.defaults, o);
this.each(function(){ new $.click2(this, o); });
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
And finally we use as.
$("a").click2({
click : function(e){
var cid = $(this).data('cid');
console.log("Click : "+cid);
},
dblclick : function(e){
var cid = $(this).data('cid');
console.log("Double Click : "+cid);
}
});
