I am working with jEditable plug-in. My question is that How can I detect when user click outside text field of jEditable?
When user clicks outside jEditable text field, still cursor stays in text field and nothing happens?
Edit:
My jEditable form looks like
<span class="edit">
<form>
<input/>
</form>
</span>
Here is my current code
$(".edit").editable("path/to/url", {
indicator : "saving...",
type : 'text',
event : 'custom_event',
submitdata : function(value, settings) {
return {
_method : "post",
myId : jQuery("#id").val(), //extra needed id
};
},
select : true,
onblur : 'submit',
});
'onblur' is working when I press {tab key}
then it submits content of text field. But when I click mouse outside text field then nothing happens and text field stays as it.
I would like also to submit content of text field when user clicks outside that text field.
I just found working solution for my question and may it helps others...
$(document).mouseup(function (e) {
var container = $(".edit");
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
if(container.find("form").length > 0) {
container.find("form").submit();
}
}
});
I found this answer from one of SO Answer. So if anybody interested please have a look on link given.
