what would be the best way to enable and then re-enable and image click with jquery?
I can diasble the click event easy enough
$(document).on("click", "#rightPager", function () {
if (condition) {
$(this).click(false);
}
});
how would I go about in 'enabling' the click event again based on a certain condition?.
I would want to enable the button again for example
$(document).on("click", "#leftPager", function () {
$("#rightPager").click(true);
});
In order to rebind you would need to use the original .on("click") event again.
Write a function to bind an event to your image:
function bindImage() {
$(img).on("click", function() {
// Your bind event goes here
});
}
Then write a conditional to unbind the event on the image if your condition returns true, then if its false, rebind the event to the image as normal.
if (condition) {
$(img).unbind();
} else {
bindImage();
}
Alternatively, you could complete this within a single function such as:
$(document).on("click", "#rightPager", function () {
if (condition) {
// terminate the function
return false;
} else {
// put your function here to run as normal
}
});
Try to use jQuery off method.
$(document).off('click', '#rightPager');
Full code:
var condition = true;
$(document).on("click", "#rightPager", function () {
if(condition){
alert('Click was disabled');
$(document).off('click', '#rightPager');
}
});
you disable the default event by:
$(document).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
condition ? doSomething() : doSomethingElse();
});
so basically is not that you enable then disable, you prevent the default action, check for your condition and they execute appropriate function
