Ajax loader and events runs more than once - ajax

I have a website that pages' contents loaded by ajax. All of my pages are seperate files actually and when I need to call a page, I just passed the link to my "pageLoader" function.
pageLoader handle with content loading and re-ignite/re-define the necessary functions like close button.
Since the actual function have ~250 lines, I did re-write a short version;
var pageLoader = function(link){
var page = $(link).attr("href").replace('#','');
if(page != lastCalledURL){
// Load the page.
$.ajax({
beforeSend: function(){ /* remove previously loaded content; */ },
success: function(data){
// remove the loaded content if user clicked to close button.
$("a.close-button").live("click", function(){
$(this).parent().fadeOut().remove();
return false;
});
// load another page if user click another page's link.
$("a.content-loader-link").live("click",function(){
pageLoader(this);
});
// handle with tabs
$("a.tabs").live("click", function(){
var index = $("a.tabs").index(this);
console.log(index);
return false;
});
}
});
lastCalledURL = page;
}
return false;
OK. If I click a link in the page, It calls pageLoader. If I click one of the links just once, pageLoader called once. If I click another link, pageLoader called twice. If I click another link again, pageLoader called third times and so on.
Same things happen for the links that bind with "live" function in the code. If I click a.tabs, it write to console twite. If I clicked another .tabs link, it write to console four times and increasing double for every click.
I don't why it happens. Please let me know if you have any idea.

You can solve it by using the bind and unbind. Like this:
$("a.tabs").unbind('click').bind("click", function(){
var index = $("a.tabs").index(this);
console.log(index);
return false;
});
But i would prefer that you attach this events in your $(document).ready function instead of everytime you make an AJAX call.
$(document).ready(function() {
// Attach your events here.
});

Those live event handlers "Attach a handler to the event for all elements which match the current selector, now and in the future." so you shouldn't need them in your ajax call.

Ajaxinate Endless scolling has stopped product Quick View from working

I am using Shopify "Streamline Theme" with quick product view and I recently added infinite scroll to products on each collection using Ajaxinate.js.
When I open a collection page it loads with some products which is supposed to do, The products already there work fine with quick view and quick add to cart and also.
The Infinite scroll works fine and it loads new product fine but the problem is raised when the new products loaded through AJAX call doesn't have work with the quick view function.
I have tried to create a callback function to activate the quick view with no success, using the theme initialisation code with no success.
function callBack(){
theme.init();
theme.initQuickShop();
};
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var endlessClick = new Ajaxinate({
method: "scroll",
loadingText: 'Loading...',
callback: callBack
});
});
Edit -------
My problem, is that when the page is loaded only the initial loaded products quickview elements are loaded in the DOM. When the scroll more button is clicked, the newly loaded products are loaded without their respective quickview elements. Hence why the quickview does't work for them. The theme.js file comes with this initialisation code:
theme.reinitProductGridItem = function($scope) {
if (AOS) {
AOS.refreshHard();
}
if (theme.settings.currenciesEnabled) {
theme.currencySwitcher.ajaxrefresh();
}
// Reload quick shop buttons
theme.initQuickShop(true);
// Refresh reviews app
if (window.SPR) {
SPR.initDomEls();SPR.loadBadges();
}
// Re-register product templates in quick view modals.
// Will not double-register.
sections.register('product-template', theme.Product, $scope);
// Re-hook up collapsible box triggers
theme.collapsibles.init();
};
I have tried to integrate this into a callback but no success, the quickview modal doesn't seem to load for the newly loaded products:
function callBack(){
ReloadSmartWishlist();
var $container = $('#CollectionSection');
theme.reinitProductGridItem($container);
// I have tried the following init qith no success:
// theme.init();
// theme.initQuickShop(true);
// theme.initQuickShop();
// sections.register('product-template', theme.Product, $container);
// AOS.refreshHard();
};
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var endlessClick = new Ajaxinate({
method: "click",
loadingText: 'Loading...',
offset: 0,
callback: callBack
});
});
I am missing something but what? :/
Note for other things like loading products images with the callback and the wishlist app, it works as intended...
When you load elements via AJAX and if the events are not attached to a parent element that is not removed from the DOM, those elements will not have an attached event to them.
The term used here is event delegation.
Here is an example of non-delegated event:
document.querySelectorAll('a').addEventListener('click', function(){
// Do something
})
Since you are attaching the event to the existing "a" elements if you add new 'a' via AJAX those elements will not have the event since Javascript already attached all the events and it will not reattach them if you don't specifically recall them again.
Here is an example of a delegated event:
document.querySelector('body').addEventListener('click', function(target){
let target = event.target;
if (target.tagName === 'A'){
// Do something here
}
})
Where we attach the event to the body tag ( where it's a better idea to attach it to a closer none-modified parent element of the ajax items ) and once we click we check if our target tag is an "a" and do something then.
So long story short, you will need to delegate the quick cart link so that it works after you load the items via AJAX.
Drip is correct you need to delegate your event, but for people like me it's hard to completely understand how to do that.
I'm not sure how your quickview is structured, but if you open it with a .click function and can use jquery use the [.on() function][1].
For example: I use a quickview that opens on a button click. My button is attached to my product-grid-item.liquid with this bit of code:
<div class="quick-view-button">
<a class="quick-view" data-handle="{{ product.handle }}" href="javascript:void(0);">Quick View</a>
</div>
My quickview function originally looked like this:
function quickView() {
$(".quick-view").click(function () {
//all of the quickview code
What happens is exactly like you described. The event listeners only loaded on the first product load but nothing after an AJAX load.
Using jquery's .on() binds the event listener to the element meaning when it's loaded in later it'll still have the event. Here's an example of what my code looks like after using .on()
function quickView() {
$('body').on('click','.quick-view',function(){
I really hope this helps you or someone else with this problem.

jQuery Mobile 1.4+ pagecontainerbeforechange bug?

I am experimenting with the new way of handling page events in jqM and have run into a curious issue. When handling the pagecontainerbeforechange event
$(document).on('pagecontainerbeforechange',function(e,u){test(e,u,'changing');})
function test(e,u,msg){console.log($(u.toPage));}
Attempting to put a jQuery object wrapper around u.toPage - as done above - produces strange behavior.
Check out this fiddle to see what I mean
Click on the Second Page button and then view the console. Nothing will happen (the second page is not shown) and you will see a message along the lines of *Uncaught error:syntax error, unrecognized expression http://jsfiddle.net/egn7g5xb/1/show/#second
Now comment out Line 7 and run the fiddle again. No such issue this time and the second page gets shown.
Perhaps someone here might be able to explain what is going on here?
On initial run, jQuery Mobile creates a fake page before navigating to first page in DOM. At that stage, pagecontainerbeforechange fires twice and returns .toPage as an object.
Later on, upon navigating to other pages, it fires twice again; however, it returns a string first time (URL/hash) and second time it returns an object which is the page itself.
Therefore, when using that event, you have to determine whether .toPage is an object or a string.
$(document).on("pagecontainerbeforechange", function (e, data) {
if (typeof data.toPage == "string") {
/* parse url */
}
if (typeof data.toPage == "object") {
/* manipulate page navigating to */
}
});
Note that pagecontainerbeforetransition is similar to beforechange, however, it fires once and returns .toPage as an object.
First, create your pagecontainer events within $(document).on("pagecreate", "#first", function(){ .. }).
Then the selector for these events should be $(":mobile-pagecontainer") or $("body") NOT $(document).
function test(e,u,msg)
{
console.log(msg);
var IsJQ = u.toPage instanceof $;
console.log(IsJQ);
if (IsJQ){
console.log(u.toPage.data());
} else {
console.log(u.toPage);
}
console.log('---');
}
$(document).on("pagecreate", "#first", function(){
$(":mobile-pagecontainer").on('pagecontainerbeforechange', function (e, u) {
test(e,u,'changing');
});
$(":mobile-pagecontainer").on('pagecontainerchange',function(e,u){
test(e,u,'changed');
});
});

cannot click links contained within ajax response

I have some content returned via ajax, and that content contains some links, but if I click them nothing happens (they don't respond to the JS written for them). Then, If i refresh the page, the first time I click, it works, and then it doesn't again.
How can I make it work normally?
This is basically my ajax call:
$('a.add').click(function() {
var data = {
action: 'ADD_PROD'
};
// make the request
$.get(ajax_object.ajax_url, data, function(response) {
// $('#vru_div').html(data);
$('div.left').html(response);
});
// $('div.left').html('<img src=712.gif>');
// alert('code');
return false;
});
The new links won't have any event handlers attached to them.
try using
$('.left').on('click','a',function(){
//your logic
});

Ajax URL # isn't updating

I have a little problem with my script here. For some reason, it doesn't enable the #-tags and I don't know why. I created this javascript using the help of this tutorial. (The loading of the pages works well with no problems at all.)
Could someone please look it over and tell me why it doesn't work?
var default_content="";
$(document).ready(function(){ //executed after the page has loaded
checkURL(); //check if the URL has a reference to a page and load it
$('ul li a').click(function (e){ //traverse through all our navigation links..
checkURL(this.hash); //.. and assign them a new onclick event, using their own hash as a parameter (#page1 for example)
});
setInterval("checkURL()",250); //check for a change in the URL every 250 ms to detect if the history buttons have been used
});
var lasturl=""; //here we store the current URL hash
function checkURL(hash)
{
if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash; //if no parameter is provided, use the hash value from the current address
if(hash != lasturl) // if the hash value has changed
{
lasturl=hash; //update the current hash
loadPage(hash); // and load the new page
}
}
function loadPage(url) //the function that loads pages via AJAX
{
// Instead of stripping off #page, only
// strip off the # to use the rest of the URL
url=url.replace('#','');
$('#loading').css('visibility','visible'); //show the rotating gif animation
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "load_page.php",
data: 'page='+url,
dataType: "html",
success: function(msg){
if(parseInt(msg)!=0) //if no errors
{
$('#content').html(msg); //load the returned html into pageContet
} $('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');//and hide the rotating gif
}
});
}
You can simplify this immensely by adding a function to listen to the hashchange event, like this:
$(window).on("hashchange", function() {
loadPage(window.location.hash);
});
This way you don't need to deal with timers or overriding click events on anchors.
You also don't need to keep track of lasthash since the hashchange even will only fire when the hash changes.

jQuery: toggleClass event handling function for ajax function

I was wondering if someone can help guide me how I can write a event when I'm using toggleClass in jQuery?
I have a list of items and when I click on an item, it highlights it, and when someone clicks another item from the list, the previous highlighted item goes away and highlights the current click. Also, if I click the same item that has been highlighted, it goes away.
Now I'm trying to write a function to call ajax when only its been highlighted. So it won't run the ajax function again when its being pressed again (when highlight is removed).
$(".media").on('click',function(){
var $this = $(this);
// highlighting the object
$this.toggleClass('selectMedia').siblings().removeClass('selectMedia');
// saving the id
var selId1 = $this.data('id');
$.post("ajax/ajax_sessions.php", {"sel_1":selId1}, function(data) {
alert(data); // alerts 'Updated'
});
});
Thank you for help!
Just check for the existance of the class before doing your AJAX request:
if ( ! $this.hasClass('selectMedia') ) return;
// Now do your AJAX request...
