I am trying to call a function with parameters using jQuery's .click, but I can't get it to work.
This is how I want it to work:
$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event('shot'));
which calls
function add_event(event) {
blah blah blah }
It works if I don't use parameters, like this:
$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event);
function add_event() {
blah blah blah }
But I need to be able to pass a parameter through to my add_event
function.
How can I do this specific thing?
I know I can use .click(function() { blah }
, but I call the add_event
function from multiple places and want to do it this way.
This question is related to
jquery
function
parameter-passing
Yes, this is an old post. Regardless, someone may find it useful. Here is another way to send parameters to event handlers.
//click handler
function add_event(event, paramA, paramB)
{
//do something with your parameters
alert(paramA ? 'paramA:' + paramA : '' + paramB ? ' paramB:' + paramB : '');
}
//bind handler to click event
$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event);
...
//once you've processed some data and know your parameters, trigger a click event.
//In this case, we will send 'myfirst' and 'mysecond' as parameters
$('.leadtoscore').trigger('click', {'myfirst', 'mysecond'});
//or use variables
var a = 'first',
b = 'second';
$('.leadtoscore').trigger('click', {a, b});
$('.leadtoscore').trigger('click', {a});
$imgReload.data('self', $self);
$imgReload.click(function (e) {
var $p = $(this).data('self');
$p._reloadTable();
});
Set javaScript object to onclick element:
$imgReload.data('self', $self);
get Object from "this" element:
var $p = $(this).data('self');
If you call it the way you had it...
$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event('shot'));
...you would need to have add_event()
return a function, like...
function add_event(param) {
return function() {
// your code that does something with param
alert( param );
};
}
The function is returned and used as the argument for .click()
.
I get the simple solution:
<button id="btn1" onclick="sendData(20)">ClickMe</button>
<script>
var id; // global variable
function sendData(valueId){
id = valueId;
}
$("#btn1").click(function(){
alert(id);
});
</script>
My mean is that pass the value onclick
event to the javascript function sendData()
, initialize to the variable and take it by the jquery event handler method.
This is possible since at first sendData(valueid)
gets called and initialize the value. Then after jquery event get's executed and use that value.
This is the straight forward solution and For Detail solution go Here.
I had success using .on() like so:
$('.leadtoscore').on('click', {event_type: 'shot'}, add_event);
Then inside the add_event
function you get access to 'shot' like this:
event.data.event_type
See the .on() documentation for more info, where they provide the following example:
function myHandler( event ) {
alert( event.data.foo );
}
$( "p" ).on( "click", { foo: "bar" }, myHandler );
You need to use an anonymous function like this:
$('.leadtoscore').click(function() {
add_event('shot')
});
You can call it like you have in the example, just a function name without parameters, like this:
$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event);
But the add_event
method won't get 'shot'
as it's parameter, but rather whatever click
passes to it's callback, which is the event
object itself...so it's not applicable in this case, but works for many others. If you need to pass parameters, use an anonymous function...or, there's one other option, use .bind()
and pass data, like this:
$('.leadtoscore').bind('click', { param: 'shot' }, add_event);
And access it in add_event
, like this:
function add_event(event) {
//event.data.param == "shot", use as needed
}
