JSFiddle does not manage click events inside a function
This is correct behaviour. The reason this happens is because you bind the event click
when you call the foo
function. The first time you call foo
you bind the event, the second time you bind it again and so on. Binding an event doesn't remove the previous bind, so if you click submit
10 times, you will bind 10 different click
eventhandlers, all doing the same thing and you'll receive 'click2' 10 times in the console.
Why isn't click event firing in this simple jsfiddle demo?
It seems that the javascript with type onload will create the javascript in the beginning of your jsfiddle as followed:
window.onload=function(){
function myclick(){
alert("myclick");
}
}
<YourHTML>
In which case he will not recognize myclick() as this is created later on in the HTML and is not triggered with onload. What you can do to avoid this is as you can see in this jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/cqL9t8mh/1/
What I did here is, delete the onclick="myclick" in your button and replace it with and ID 'btnToggle'. Afterwards in the javascript section you can add an addEventListener of the type click on the ID 'btnToggle' to trigger your myclick function.
Also what you asked in the commands of previous answer is following:
This will make it so your code layout well be like:
<YourHTML>
function myclick(){
alert("myclick");
}
In which case your HTML is first created before your function and it is no longer in an onload so it will now be triggered every time you click your button.
JS Fiddle jQuery Click Event Not Firing
It works fine. Remove top:0
from this element
#submitting {
display:table;
position:absolute;
/*top:0;*/
}
fiddle
This happend because submitting
element overlap your #form
element. This can be fixed also giving submitting
a negative z-index
:
#submitting {
display: table;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
like this example fiddle
Onclick event not firing (this is so basic, am i going insane?)
Change the name and id from "addInning" to something else. This worked for me.
<script type="text/javascript">
function addInning()
{
alert("hello");
}
</script>
<input name="addInning2" type="button" value="Add Inning" id="addInning2" onclick="addInning();">
onclick event not firing javascript
Fixed it!
blacklistitem.innerHTML += blacklist[i];
^ was messing it up, at this point in the code blacklistitem is still a javascript item, not yet appended to its to-be parent element in the document
So I just stuck blacklist[i] into a span tag and appended as a child and now it works fine :)
What specifically will successfully trigger a JavaScript click event in JSFiddle?
This is the way if you don't want to wait for the DOM to be loaded.
document.getElementById('btnSave').addEventListener('click',() => {
alert('clicked the damn button!');
});
The reason attaching something to .onclick doesn't work is because, for that, you do have to wait for the DOM to load; order of operations is really important in this case.

You should change javascript Load Type to "No Wrap - in body".
