Jquery bind double click and single click separate

Question

Is there something in jquery that would allow me to differentiate between behavior on double click and single click?

When I bind both to same element only the single click gets executed.

Is there a way that wait for some time before execution of the single click to see if the user clicks again or not?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Same as the above answer but allows for triple click. (Delay 500) http://jsfiddle.net/luenwarneke/rV78Y/1/

    var DELAY = 500,
    clicks = 0,
    timer = null;

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a")
    .on("click", function(e){
        clicks++;  //count clicks
        timer = setTimeout(function() {
        if(clicks === 1) {
           alert('Single Click'); //perform single-click action
        } else if(clicks === 2) {
           alert('Double Click'); //perform single-click action
        } else if(clicks >= 3) {
           alert('Triple Click'); //perform Triple-click action
        }
         clearTimeout(timer);
         clicks = 0;  //after action performed, reset counter
       }, DELAY);
    })
    .on("dblclick", function(e){
        e.preventDefault();  //cancel system double-click event
    });
});

(function($){

$.click2 = function (elm, o){
    this.ao = o;
    var DELAY = 700, clicks = 0;
    var timer = null;
    var self = this;

    $(elm).on('click', function(e){
        clicks++;
        if(clicks === 1){
            timer = setTimeout(function(){
                self.ao.click(e);
            }, DELAY);
        } else {
            clearTimeout(timer);
            self.ao.dblclick(e);
        }
    }).on('dblclick', function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
    });

};

$.click2.defaults = { click: function(e){}, dblclick: function(e){} };

$.fn.click2 = function(o){
    o = $.extend({},$.click2.defaults, o);
    this.each(function(){ new $.click2(this, o); });
    return this;
};

})(jQuery);

And finally we use as.

$("a").click2({
    click : function(e){
        var cid = $(this).data('cid');
        console.log("Click : "+cid);
    },
    dblclick : function(e){
        var cid = $(this).data('cid');
        console.log("Double Click : "+cid);
    }
});

var singleClickTimer = 0; //define a var to hold timer event in parent scope
jqueryElem.click(function(e){ //using jquery click handler
    if (e.detail == 1) { //ensure this is the first click
        singleClickTimer = setTimeout(function(){ //create a timer
            alert('single'); //run your single click code
        },250); //250 or 1/4th second is about right
    }
});

jqueryElem.dblclick(function(e){ //using jquery dblclick handler
    clearTimeout(singleClickTimer); //cancel the single click
    alert('double'); //run your double click code
});

Look at the following code

$("#clickMe").click(function (e) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ($this.hasClass('clicked')){
        alert("Double click");
        //here is your code for double click
        return;
    }else{
         $this.addClass('clicked');
        //your code for single click
         setTimeout(function() { 
                 $this.removeClass('clicked'); },500);
    }//end of else
});

I've written a jQuery plugin that allow also to delegate the click and dblclick events

// jQuery plugin to bind both single and double click to objects
// parameter 'delegateSelector' is optional and allow to delegate the events
// parameter 'dblclickWait' is optional default is 300
(function($) {
$.fn.multipleClicks = function(delegateSelector, clickFun, dblclickFun, dblclickWait) {
    var obj;
    if (typeof(delegateSelector)==='function' && typeof(clickFun)==='function') {
        dblclickWait = dblclickFun; dblclickFun = clickFun; clickFun = delegateSelector; delegateSelector = null; // If 'delegateSelector' is missing reorder arguments
    } else if (!(typeof(delegateSelector)==='string' && typeof(clickFun)==='function' && typeof(dblclickFun)==='function')) {
        return false;
    }
    return $(this).each(function() {
        $(this).on('click', delegateSelector, function(event) {
            var self = this;
            clicks = ($(self).data('clicks') || 0)+1;
            $(self).data('clicks', clicks);
            if (clicks == 1) {
                setTimeout(function(){
                    if ($(self).data('clicks') == 1) {
                        clickFun.call(self, event); // Single click action
                    } else {
                        dblclickFun.call(self, event); // Double click action
                    }
                    $(self).data('clicks', 0);
                }, dblclickWait || 300);
            }
        });
    });
};
})(jQuery);

This is a method you can do using the basic JavaScript, which is works for me:

var v_Result;
function OneClick() {
    v_Result = false;
    window.setTimeout(OneClick_Nei, 500)
    function OneClick_Nei() {
        if (v_Result != false) return;
        alert("single click");
    }
}
function TwoClick() {
    v_Result = true;
    alert("double click");
}
