In my controller:
$scope.homeAction = function() {
console.log("HomeAction");
};
In my view:
<button ng-click="homeAction()">call homeAction()</button>
When clicking the button, the method gets executed as expected by Chrome and Firefox, but IE executes it twice. Any idea why?
Here is a plunker that reproduces the issue: http://plnkr.co/edit/pedZKjIVGDAYfMl0ZphJ.
Just add type="button"
to your button and it should be fixed. Default behaviour is submit and apparently that messes with your code.
<ion-view title="Home">
<ion-content padding="true">
<button type="button" ng-click="homeAction()" class="button button-block button-positive">call homeAction()</button>
</ion-content>
</ion-view>
It seems to be related to the <button>
event handling on Internet Explorer. Clicking it dispatches 2 events : MouseEvent
and PointerEvent
which explains why homeAction
is called twice.
The easiest solution would be to change the <button>
element to another DOM element (i.e. <a>
or <span>
)

Another solution would be to verify which type of Event is dispatched and only allow MouseEvents
. You can do this by passing the $event on your HomeAction
and check the existence of the pointerType
property (which is only available on TouchEvents). An example on plnkr : http://plnkr.co/edit/RmVHT1Pf2IeCNdmDH51T
$scope.homeAction = function($event) {
if ($event.originalEvent.pointerType) {
//PointerEvent, don't do anything
return;
}
console.log("HomeAction");
};
