About knockoutjs - how to data-bind with text: and click: - events

How are you guys? I'm new to the framework Knockoutjs, I wonder if I'm doing it right. (Need a little help.) :)
I have a tag and would contain the same data-bind = text: anything and click: any function. The question is: Is it possible to do this? This is the correct way? Follow what I'm talking about: (I am using an example from the website itself) where when the user clicks the "Click Me" he adds +1 on the counter. I want that when the user clicks the tag call the same function. :)
HTML:
<div>You've clicked <span data-bind='text: numberOfClicks, click: registerClick'> </span> times</div>
JS:
var ClickCounterViewModel = function() {
this.numberOfClicks = ko.observable(0);
this.registerClick = function() {
this.numberOfClicks(this.numberOfClicks() + 1);
};
this.resetClicks = function() {
this.numberOfClicks(0);
};
this.hasClickedTooManyTimes = ko.computed(function() {
return this.numberOfClicks() >= 3;
}, this);
};
ko.applyBindings(new ClickCounterViewModel());
Follows the file jsFiddle: Here
Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is possible to have several binding pairs in one data-bind attribute.
You just have separated them with a comma ,
You asked : I want that when the user clicks the tag call the same function.
But you already code it.
You can click on the counter or on the button it increments the counter.

Clear Session Storage when Clicking Outside

I'm using Meteor and have the code below that stores _id into session:
'click .players': function(){
var playerId = this._id;
Session.set('selectedPlayer', playerId);
The session above is set when user clicks within <li class="players">
I would like to clear the session data when user clicks outside of <li class="players">
What will be the best way to do this?
Thanks !
This solution is a little limited, because the selector :not("li.players") is within the template, which means that you may click somewhere outside the template and it will not fire a click event. It is advisable to put the click event under body template but it will still not fire a click event when you click the html part.
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Template.body.events {
'click :not("li.players")': function(e) {
Session.set('selectedPlayer', null);
}
}
}
For more precisely, this might help you out.
if (Meteor.isClient) {
$(document).click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var target = $(e.target);
var players = $('li.players');
if (!players.is(target) && players.has(target).length === 0) {
Session.set('selectedPlayer', null);
}
})
}
You can do:
'click :not(".players")': function(ev){
Session.set('selectedPlayer',null);
}

jqGrid: Link in a cell not clickable, and also not link-like

I have used a custom formatter for one of the columns in my jqGrid. Here is the formatter:
formatter: function(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
var link = $('<a>', {
text: 'Click Me'
href: '#',
click: function() {
alert('sdfsfsd');
// my stuff
}
});
return link[0].outerHTML;
}
There are two problems:
The link is not clickable. When I click the link, the row gets selected! Is there a way to not bypass row selection, but also make the link clickable? [Update: I tried using the beforeSelectRow: function(row, e) { return false;} to disable selection. But still not able to click the link. I can see in the html that the cell value is a link indeed.]
The link is not link like, meaning it is not blue/underlined, as usual it looks like. I have not overidden anything in my CSS.
Help much appreciated!
Thanks
Vivek Ragunathan
UPDATE: I found that this is not a problem with the grid as such. But the click handler does not get linked with the hyperlink. I also tried this code instead but no luck!
var link = $('<a>', {
text: 'Click Me'
href: '#'
}).click(function() {
alert('sdfsfsd');
// my stuff
});
Thanks
Since the link is created dynamically (using jquery), and then the HTML of that object is consumed, the handler will not be part of the HTML. So in this case, the link has to be created out of string directly:
formatter: function(cellvalue, options, row) {
var handler = "someHandlerDefined(" + options.rowId + ")";
return "<a href=# onclick='" + handler + "'>Link</a>";
}
That worked!

KendoUI PanelBar remember expanded items

I try implement Kendo UI PanelBar (see http://demos.kendoui.com/web/panelbar/images.html) If I open some items (Golf, Swimming) and next click to "Videos Records", I have expanded items. But when I do refresh page (click on some link), all expanded structure is lost.
On KendoUI forum I found, that I can get only possition of selected item and after reload page I must calculate all noded. Is there any way, how can I have expanded items in my situation? If do not need, I don't want to use the html frames.
Best regards,
Peter
Thank you for your answer, was very usefull. I add here code of skeleton of jQuery which remember 1 selected item now. Required add jquery.cookie.js [https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie]
function onSelect(e) {
var item = $(e.item),
index = item.parentsUntil(".k-panelbar", ".k-item").map(function () {
return $(this).index();
}).get().reverse();
index.push(item.index());
$.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex", index);
//alert(index);
}
var panel = $("#panelbar").kendoPanelBar({
select: onSelect
}).data("kendoPanelBar");
//$("button").click(function () {
// select([0, 2]);
//});
function select(position) {
var ul = panel.element;
for (var i = 0; i < position.length; i++) {
var item = ul.children().eq(position[i]);
if (i != position.length - 1) {
ul = item.children("ul");
if (!ul[0])
ul = item.children().children("ul");
panel.expand(item, false);
} else {
panel.select(item);
}
}
}
// on page ready select value from cookies
$(document).ready(function () {
if ($.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex") != null) {
//alert($.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex"));
var numbersArray = $.cookie("KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex").split(',');
select(numbersArray);
}
else {
// TEST INIT MESSAGE, ON REAL USE DELETE
alert("DocumenReadyFunction: KendoUiPanelBarSelectedIndex IS NULL");
}
});
The opening of the panels happens on the client. When the page is refreshed, the browser will render the provided markup, which does not include any additional markup for the selected panel.
In order to accomplish this, you will need to somehow store a value indicating the opened panel. The easiest way to accomplish this would be with a cookie (either set by JavaScript or do an AJAX call to the server).
Then, when the panelBar is being rendered, it will use the value in the cookie to set the correct tab as the selected one.
You can use this block to work withe the selected. in this example, i am just expanding the panel item. You can do other things such as saving panel item in your dom for later use or may be saving it somewhere to use it later:
var panelBar = $("#importCvPanelbar").data("kendoPanelBar");
panelBar.bind("select", function(e) {
var itemId = $(e.item)[0].id;
panelBar.expand(itemId);// will expand the selected one
});

I need help using jquery to post info from Pop Up to an MVC 3 Controller action

So I have a view that allows users to Approve or Reject items listed on the page. When approved, I simply use the #Ajax.ActionLink to post to the appropriate controller action. When the user Rejects an item, the user is required to enter a reason for the rejection. I'm found code on the internet that gave me a popup dialog and added a textbox and OK/Cancel buttons. I can capture the input from the user and show it in an alert, but now I need to complete it and I'm not sure how.
1st - I need add functionality to pass to my jquery link handler, the ID associated with the Item being rejected.
2nd - I need a way to call my Controller Action from the jquery.
Here is the code I have up to this point.
My link is simply an 'a' tag. I can't see to post the code for this without removing the <>
a href="#dialog" name="modal" Reject a
My script handles this here
$(document).ready(function () {
//select all the a tag with name equal to modal
$('a[name=modal]').click(function (e) {
//Cancel the link behavior
e.preventDefault();
//Get the A tag
var id = $(this).attr('href');
//Get the screen height and width
var maskHeight = $(document).height();
var maskWidth = $(window).width();
//Set heigth and width to mask to fill up the whole screen
$('#mask').css({ 'width': maskWidth, 'height': maskHeight });
//transition effect
$('#mask').fadeIn(1000);
$('#mask').fadeTo("slow", 0.8);
//Get the window height and width
var winH = $(window).height();
var winW = $(window).width();
//Set the popup window to center
$(id).css('top', winH / 2 - $(id).height() / 2);
$(id).css('left', winW / 2 - $(id).width() / 2);
//transition effect
$(id).val('');
$(id).fadeIn(2000);
});
Here is my pop up dialog and the mask that grays out the screen when the dialog is opened.
<div id="boxes">
<div id="dialog" class="window">
Enter the reason for rejection:</br>
<textarea class="multiline" id="rejectreason" rows="10" cols="20"></textarea><br/>
<div style="margin-left: 120px"><input type="button" value="OK" class="ok" style="width:70px"/> <input type="button" value="Cancel" style="width:70px" class="close"/>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Mask to cover the whole screen -->
<div id="mask"></div>
</div>
It could be that I'm going about this completely wrong, but it's all I could find on line and pieced it all together from there. As this is my first experience with jquery and MVC, I'm struggling a bit here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE
OK, so I added a data-id attribute to my link that allows me to get the ID of the link clicked. I tested it using this code and it works.
var iD = $(this).attr('data-id');
I now need to pass this value to my dialog so I can then retrieve it again when the OK button on the dialog is clicked. I can set a hidden field on the page if necessary and retrieve it from there.
Here is some code to get you on the right path...
jQuery Ajax:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#InputButtonId").click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SomeAction", "Controller")',
type: 'POST',
data: { id: $("#hidden").val(), reason: $("#rejectreason").html },
dataType: "json",
beforeSend: function () {
},
success: function (result) {
// Do action if success
},
error: function (result) {
// Do action if error
}
});
return false;
});
});
And the controller action:
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SomeAction(string id, string reason)
{
//Perform Actions
return Json(new
{
value1 = value1,
value2 = value2
}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Hope this helps.

jquery: bind click event to ajax-loaded elmente? live() won't work?

hey guys,
I have an input field that looks for matched characters on a page. This page simply lists anchor links. So when typing I constantly load() (using the jquery load() method) this page with all the links and I check for a matched set of characters. If a matched link is found it's displayed to the user. However all those links should have e.preventDefault() on them.
It simply won't work. #found is the container that shows the matched elements. All links that are clicked should have preventDefault() on them.
edit:
/*Animated scroll for anchorlinks*/
var anchor = '',
pageOffset = '',
viewOffset = 30,
scrollPos = '';
$(function() {
$("a[href*='#']").each(function() {
$(this).addClass('anchorLink');
$(this).bind('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//console.log('test');
anchor = $(this).attr('href').split('#')[1];
pageOffset = $("#"+anchor).offset();
scrollPos = pageOffset.top - viewOffset;
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:scrollPos}, '500');
})
});
});
Well, I'm looking for all href's that contain a #. So I know those elements are anchors that jump to other elements. I don't want my page to jump, but rather scroll smoothly to this element with this specific #id.
This works fine when I use bind('click', ... for normal page-elements that have been loaded when the page is opened. It doesn't work for anchors that have been loaded via ajax! If I change the bind to live nothing does change for the ajax loaded elements - they still don't work. However normal anchors that have always been on the page are not triggering the function as well. So nothing works with live()!
When you say "it won't work" do you mean that your function is not been called or that you can not cancel out of the function? As far as I know you can not cancel out live events. With jQuery 1.4 you can use return false to cancel out live event propagation. Calling e.preventDefault() won't work.
Edit: right so this code should in principal work. What it still won't do is, it won't add the 'anchorLink' class to your new anchors. However if the clicks work then let me know and I will give you the right code to add the class too!
var anchor = '',
pageOffset = '',
viewOffset = 30,
scrollPos = '';
$(function() {
$("a[href*='#']").each(function() {
$(this).addClass('anchorLink');
});
$("a").live('click', function(e) {
if ($(this).attr("href").indexOf("#") > -1) {
e.preventDefault();
//console.log('test');
anchor = $(this).attr('href').split('#')[1];
pageOffset = $("#" + anchor).offset();
scrollPos = pageOffset.top - viewOffset;
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: scrollPos }, '500');
//nikhil: e.preventDefault() might not work, try return false here
}
});
});
