As of jQuery 1.7 you should use jQuery.fn.on
with the selector parameter filled:
$(staticAncestors).on(eventName, dynamicChild, function() {});
Explanation:
This is called event delegation and works as followed. The event is attached to a static parent (staticAncestors
) of the element that should be handled. This jQuery handler is triggered every time the event triggers on this element or one of the descendant elements. The handler then checks if the element that triggered the event matches your selector (dynamicChild
). When there is a match then your custom handler function is executed.
Prior to this, the recommended approach was to use live()
:
$(selector).live( eventName, function(){} );
However, live()
was deprecated in 1.7 in favour of on()
, and completely removed in 1.9. The live()
signature:
$(selector).live( eventName, function(){} );
... can be replaced with the following on()
signature:
$(document).on( eventName, selector, function(){} );
For example, if your page was dynamically creating elements with the class name dosomething
you would bind the event to a parent which already exists (this is the nub of the problem here, you need something that exists to bind to, don't bind to the dynamic content), this can be (and the easiest option) is document
. Though bear in mind document
may not be the most efficient option.
$(document).on('mouseover mouseout', '.dosomething', function(){
// what you want to happen when mouseover and mouseout
// occurs on elements that match '.dosomething'
});
Any parent that exists at the time the event is bound is fine. For example
$('.buttons').on('click', 'button', function(){
// do something here
});
would apply to
<div class="buttons">
<!-- <button>s that are generated dynamically and added here -->
</div>
If you work with Visual Studio then it is pretty easy to get persistable settings. Right click on the project in Solution Explorer and choose Properties. Select the Settings tab and click on the hyperlink if settings doesn't exist.
Use the Settings tab to create application settings. Visual Studio creates the files Settings.settings
and Settings.Designer.settings
that contain the singleton class Settings
inherited from ApplicationSettingsBase. You can access this class from your code to read/write application settings:
Properties.Settings.Default["SomeProperty"] = "Some Value";
Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); // Saves settings in application configuration file
This technique is applicable both for console, Windows Forms, and other project types.
Note that you need to set the scope property of your settings. If you select Application scope then Settings.Default.<your property> will be read-only.
