I am trying to use jQuery to do something like
if(jQuery('#id').click) {
//do-some-stuff
} else {
//run function2
}
But I'm unsure how to do this using jQuery ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm trying to run a function if the #id has been clicked and specifically it is has not been clicked then run the function 2 ? i.e. I need to check firstly that the #id has been clicked before running function2 ?
You should avoid using global vars, and prefer using .data()
So, you'd do:
jQuery('#id').click(function(){
$(this).data('clicked', true);
});
Then, to check if it was clicked and perform an action:
if(jQuery('#id').data('clicked')) {
//clicked element, do-some-stuff
} else {
//run function2
}
Hope this helps. Cheers
The way to do it would be with a boolean at a higher scope:
var hasBeenClicked = false;
jQuery('#id').click(function () {
hasBeenClicked = true;
});
if (hasBeenClicked) {
// The link has been clicked.
} else {
// The link has not been clicked.
}
This is all you need: http://api.jquery.com/click/
Having an "else" doesn't apply in this scenario, else would mean "did not click", in which case you just wouldn't do anything.
