The non-ajax version of my web app is fine, cause the events are added in the order I want and all the events are added on the cell-phone element in question.
But for my ajax app, the events are added 'differently' since the elements are dynamically gotten, so I have the same events but actually on different elements (on #container
for checking dynamic added elements, and a mask applied directly on .input-cell-phone
).
For example, when user types invalid (215)-###-####, I expect Masked Input to clear it out before my blur code but it doesn't.
Here is basically the 'ajax' app (well minus the ajax call, I simulate it with .append
):

Here is the non-ajax version that works like how I expect:

Any ideas how to get this to work?
I came up with just doing it this way below. so when i focus on the input, i dynamically add the event if the plugin has'nt been added already. There was an issue with event ordering in my app. so i make sure i add the mask first, then my blur event.
$('#container').on('focusin', '.input-phone', function() {
var $this = $(this);
if( (typeof $this.data()['rawMaskFn'] !== "function") ) {
//dynamically adds the mask plugin
$this.mask("(999)-999-9999"); //probably adds a blur event
//make sure its the first thing in blur event
if($this.hasClass('input-cell-phone')) { //********* moved here so this blur event can get added after the above event
$('.input-cell-phone').blur(function() {//on() way doesnt work here for some reason
//if clear cell phone, make sure to clear daytime phone
var phone_val = $.trim($(this).val());
if(phone_val==""){
//find daytime equivilent and clear too
$(this).parents('.container').find('input.input-day-phone').val('');
}
});
}
}
});
