I am trying to get the click event of a submit button on my form...
<input type="submit" value="Search By Demographics" class="button" id="submitDemo"/>
That is the button that I want to get the event from.
$('#submitDemo').click(
alert("work darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
//$("#list").block({ message: '<img src="../../Images/ajax-loader.gif" />' })
);
This is what I want to do on button click. I want to put a loading image around a div and then unblock later in a different function. Currently the overlay pops up when the page loads instead of onClick. What am I doing
try this
$('#submitDemo').live("click",function() {
// your stuff
});
As @px5x2 pointed that live is deprecate so instead of live use ON
$('#submitDemo').on("click",function() {
// your stuff
});
$('#submitDemo').click(function() {
// do your stuff
});
You have to encase your code in a function..
$('#submitDemo').click(function(){
alert("work darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
//$("#list").block({ message: '<img src="../../Images/ajax-loader.gif" />' })
});
But it is always a good practice to bind the event using on so that it attaches the event handler to the element when that is available.. So
$('#submitDemo').on('click',function(){
alert("work darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
//$("#list").block({ message: '<img src="../../Images/ajax-loader.gif" />' })
});
You need to run your script when the DOM is ready, as well as providing a callback to the click method:
$(function() {
$('#submitDemo').click(function() {
// do your stuff
});
});
For form you can also bind submit button click on form.
$("#form_selector").submit(function{
// Do your stuff
})
where 'form_selector' is id of the form of which submit button is clicked.
You might haven't included the jquery library in your code!
