I have one html div on my jsp page, on that i have put one anchor tag, please find code below for that,
Try out this example, the onclick is still called from your HTML, and event bubbling is stopped.
<div class="expandable-panel-heading">
<h2>
<a id="ancherComplaint" href="#addComplaint" onclick="markActiveLink(this);event.stopPropagation();">ABC</a>
</h2>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/NXML7/1/
Try following :
$('.expandable-panel-heading').click(function (e) {
if(e.target.nodeName == 'A'){
markActiveLink(e.target)
return;
}else{
alert('123');
}
});
function markActiveLink(el) {
alert($(el).attr("id"));
}
Here is the working demo : http://jsfiddle.net/JVrNc/4/
Change your jQuery code with this. It will alert the id of the a.
$('.expandable-panel-heading:not(#ancherComplaint)').click(function () {
markActiveLink();
alert('123');
});
function markActiveLink(el) {
var el = $('a').attr("id")
alert(el);
}
Demo
You need to read up on event bubbling and for sure remove inline event handling if you have jQuery anyway
Test the click on the div and examine the target
Live Demo
$(".expandable-panel-heading").on("click",function (e) {
if (e.target.id =="ancherComplaint") { // or test the tag
e.preventDefault(); // or e.stopPropagation()
markActiveLink(e.target);
}
else alert('123');
});
function markActiveLink(el) {
alert(el.id);
}
I would have used stopPropagation
like this:
$('.expandable-panel-heading:not(#ancherComplaint)').click(function () {
alert('123');
});
$('#ancherComplaint').on('click',function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
alert('hiiiiiiiiii');
});
Try this
$('.expandable-panel-heading:not(#ancherComplaint)').click(function () {
alert('123');
});
$('#ancherComplaint').click(function (event) {
alert($(this).attr("id"));
event.stopPropagation()
})
