I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm fairly new to programming and very new to jquery.
I have a table where each cell has a unique id. when the user hovers over the cell I display some options which loads a form based on what the user selects...(not important). Anyway, everything works great the first time a user makes a selection on a cell. However, once that cell has been .click(ed). they cannot click it again before clicking another cell first. I'm thinking maybe there is someway to reset the function, but I'm not sure about that. Any ideas? [code] // show the form near the cell which was clicked $(".add, .edit").click(function(event) { var id = this.id; var posTop = event.pageY-30; var posLeft = event.pageX-30; $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "add.php", data: id, success: function(response){ alert('clicked'); $("#addForm").css({ position: 'absolute', top: posTop, left: posLeft }); $("#addForm").fadeIn("slow").html(response); } }); }); // prepare the form when the DOM is ready var options = { target: '#addForm', // target element(s) to be updated with server response success: showResponse }; // bind to the form's submit event $('#addForm').submit(function() { // inside event callbacks 'this' is the DOM element so we first // wrap it in a jQuery object and then invoke ajaxSubmit $(this).ajaxSubmit(options); // !!! Important !!! // always return false to prevent standard browser submit and page navigation return false; }); // pre-submit callback function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) { // formData is an array; here we use $.param to convert it to a string to display it // but the form plugin does this for you automatically when it submits the data var queryString = $.param(formData); // jqForm is a jQuery object encapsulating the form element. To access the // DOM element for the form do this: // var formElement = jqForm[0]; alert('About to submit: \n\n' + queryString); // here we could return false to prevent the form from being submitted; // returning anything other than false will allow the form submit to continue } // post-submit callback function showResponse(options) { // for normal html responses, the first argument to the success callback // is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property // if the ajaxSubmit method was passed an Options Object with the dataType // property set to 'xml' then the first argument to the success callback // is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseXML property // if the ajaxSubmit method was passed an Options Object with the dataType // property set to 'json' then the first argument to the success callback // is the json data object returned by the server $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "processes/addNow.php", data: "uid="+uid+"&sid="+sid+, success: function(response2){ $("."+usid+"-"+uid).html(response2); $("#addForm").fadeOut("slow"); } }); } [/code]
