I've added this jQuery in an attempt to conditionally show certain elements:
$(document).on("click", '[id$=btnAddFoapalRow]', function (e) {
if $('[id$=foapalrow3]').not(":visible");
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').slideDown();
}
else if $('[id$=foapalrow4]').not(":visible");
$('[id$=foapalrow4]').slideDown();
}
});
This code is based on code from here; I changed the "is" to "not" because I need to act when the row is not visible.
...but not only does it not work (clicking the "+" button (btnAddFoapalRow) does not make the rows visible), it causes the other jQuery that precedes it to be non-functional, too. What is wrong with the jQuery above, and why is it so obtrusive/obstructionistic?
Here is all the jQuery for context/your reading pleasure:
$(document).ready(function () {
console.log('The ready function has been reached'); /* This is a "sanity check" so it can be verified that this jQuery script is running/ran */
});
/* If the select "Yes" (self-identify as UCSC Faculty, Staff, or Student), prompt them to log in */
$(document).on("change", '[id$=ckbxUCSCFacultyStaffOrStudent]', function () {
var ckd = this.checked;
if (ckd) alert('Please log in prior to continuing with this form');
});
/* If the select "Yes" (they are seeking payment for themselves, as opposed to someone else), omit (invisibilize) sections 2 and 3 on the form */
$(document).on("change", '[id$=ckbxPaymentForSelf]', function () {
if (this.checked) {
$('[id$=panelSection2]').slideUp();
$('[id$=panelSection3]').slideUp();
$('[id$=rbPaymentToIndividual]').prop("checked", true);
$('[id$=_MailStopRow]').slideDown();
$('[id$=_AddressRows]').slideUp();
}
else {
$('[id$=panelSection2]').slideDown();
$('[id$=panelSection3]').slideDown();
$('[id$=rbPaymentToIndividual]').prop("checked", false);
$('[id$=_MailStopRow]').slideUp();
$('[id$=_AddressRows]').slideDown();
}
});
/* When "UCSC insider" checkbox changes state, set up txtbxSSNOrITIN accordingly - was ckbxEmp, which has been deprecated/removed */
$(document).on("change", '[id$=ckbxUCSCFacultyStaffOrStudent]', function () {
var ssnmaxlen = 4;
var itinmaxlen = 11;
var ssntextboxwidth = 40;
var itintextboxwidth = 100;
var ckd = this.checked;
var $input = $('[id$=txtbxSSNOrITIN]');
var $lbl = $('[id$=lblSSNOrITIN]');
if (ckd) $input.data("oldValue", $input.val()); // Remember current value
$input.prop("maxlength", ckd ? ssnmaxlen : itinmaxlen).css({
background: ckd ? 'yellow' : 'lightgreen',
width: ckd ? ssntextboxwidth : itintextboxwidth
}).val(function (i, v) {
/* If checked, trim textbox contents to ssnmaxlen characters */
return ckd && v.length > ssnmaxlen ? v.slice(0, ssnmaxlen) : $input.data("oldValue");
});
$lbl.text(ckd ? "SSN - last 4 digits" : "ITIN");
/* This sets focus to the end of the textbox (multiplication by 2 is because some characters are counted as two) */
var strLength = $input.val().length * 2;
$input.focus();
$input[0].setSelectionRange(strLength, strLength);
});
$(document).on("keypress", '[id$=txtbxSSNOrITIN]', function (e) {
/* For now, just "eating" non-numeric entries (from http://jsfiddle.net/zpg8k/); will change when the business rules for ITIN are known */
var k = e.which;
if (k < 48 || k > 57) { e.preventDefault(); }
});
$(document).on("click", '[id$=btnAddFoapalRow]', function (e) {
if $('[id$=foapalrow3]').not(":visible");
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').slideDown();
}
else if $('[id$=foapalrow4]').not(":visible");
$('[id$=foapalrow4]').slideDown();
}
});
This is in a Sharepoint 2010 project. I've tried to accomplish the same thing using server-side (C#) code, too, but that also is not working, due to each click of the button submitting the page again. I asked about that here [Why does my no-submit (HtmlButton) still submit?
The pertinent code-behind is:
HtmlButton btnAddFoapalRow = null;
. . .
btnAddFoapalRow = new HtmlButton();
btnAddFoapalRow.Attributes["type"] = "button";
btnAddFoapalRow.InnerHtml = "+";
btnAddFoapalRow.ID = "btnAddFoapalRow";
this.Controls.Add(btnAddFoapalRow);
foapalrow3 = new HtmlTableRow();
foapalrow3.ID = "foapalrow3";
foapalrow3.Visible = false;
. . .
foapalrow3 = new HtmlTableRow();
foapalrow3.ID = "foapalrow3";
foapalrow3.Visible = false;
UPDATE
I changed the jQuery to this, so I could verify the code is being reached (added the calls to console.log()):
$(document).on("click", '[id$=btnAddFoapalRow]', function (e) {
if ($('[id$=foapalrow3]').not(":visible")) {
console.log('reached the foapalrow3 not visible branch');
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').slideDown();
}
else if ($('[id$=foapalrow4]').not(":visible")) {
console.log('reached the foapalrow4 not visible branch');
$('[id$=foapalrow4]').slideDown();
}
});
...and I do see 'reached the foapalrow3 not visible branch' in the console in Chrome, but nothing happens visually on the page.
I wonder if I really need something like this:
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').visible();
instead of this:
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').slideDown();
? If so, what is the proper syntax for that (setting visible to true)?
UPDATE 2
I tried this:
$('[id$=foapalrow3]').attr("visibility", "visible");
...but no joy in Mudville.
