This question has been asked/answered (mostly) before, BUT I've tried three things to stop the event from bubbling but nothing has worked:
return false;
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
(return false should take care of the other two, correct?)
Here's the html:
<div class="tags-holder">
<input type="text" class="addField" id="addField_<%= visit.id %>" placeholder="add a new tag">
</div>
And the JS (UPDATE CLEANED UP):
$('.addField').show().keyup(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
if(event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode==9) {
ProfilePage.createTag( this, 'nada', 'addField')
$(this).hide().val('');
return false;
}
});
I left the redundant stoppers in there but really shouldn't return false simply kill the bubbling? (using Chrome).
Clue? keyCode=13 is "Enter"
Wow. Your help was great and helped me think it through.
BUT the solution feels a bit like a cop-out; effective, but the condition should never be there in the first place.
Here it is, which I found in the comments from here: http://yuji.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/jquery-click-event-fires-twice/
$('.plus').unbind('click').bind('click',function(e){
console.log('clicked')
var id=$(this).attr('plus_id');
var field=$('<input type="text">').attr({'placeholder':'add a new tag','id': 'addField_' + id, 'visit_id':id});
field.focus();
field.show().keydown(function(event){
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
if(event.keyCode == 13 || event.keyCode==9) {
console.log(event)
ProfilePage.createTag( field, 'nada', 'addField')
field.hide().val('');
return false;
}
}).click(function(e){
return false;
})
;
$(this).append(field);
return false;
});
