jqtransform form events problem

Question

I'm a web designer with css experience, but I'm not a JS developer.

I used jqtransform to style a search form , the problem is it removes all events from selectors and the search button .

here is the code before jqtransform

<input id="go-search" type="button" name="btn_search" value="search" onclick="searchLocations()" />

and after applying the script, the button doesn't do any thing I opened the page source and here how it looks like:

<button class=" jqTransformButton" type="button" name="btn_search" id="go-search"><span><span>search</span></span></button>

Please help me !

Answer 1

I think it’s best to put new questions in new posts …

$(function() { $("form.jqtransform").jqTransform(); $("#city").click(populateDestrict); });

when assigning functions to an event by JavaScript, you only assign the function reference. putting parentheses behind a function identifyer will execute the function.

function myFunction(x)
{
    alert(x);
    return 1;
}

// correct, the onload event will trigger the function
window.onload = myFunction;
// alerts "[object Event]"

// wrong
window.onload = myFunction("hello");
// this assigns "1" to the onload property*
// * - IE may execute this, but no standard compliant browser

As far as can see only buttons are affected. The script replaces your original buttons with new ones, so everything besides the id, name, type & class attributes is removed. You would have to assign the function anew when jqtransform finished its job.

// after jqtransform
// probably $("#go-search").click(searchLocations); in jQuery, but I’m not a jQuery user … thus in plain JavaScript:
var bt = document.getElementById("go-search");
if (window.addEventListener) {
    bt.addEventListener("click", searchLocations, false);
}
else {
    bt.attachEvent("onclick", searchLocations);
}

I would hazard a guess at using it like

$(function() {
    //find all form with class jqtransform and apply the plugin
    $("form.jqtransform").jqTransform();
    // fix your button
    $("#go-search").click(searchLocations);
});

May be late but... Faced the same issue recently. and the solution was to use this version of the jqTransform script:

NOTE: 1) Open your jqTransform file, 2)DELETE everything, 3)COPY the code bellow 4) PASTE and 5) SAVE.

VOILA!!
