I have a web application with a medium amount of ajax requests.
I load all jquery and jquery widgets on head then i load my base.js before close body tag.
function baseScripts() {
$(".open-dialog").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
alert("Opening dialog");
href = $().buildUrl($(this).attr("href"), "&isAjax=true");
$().createDialog(href, "Window Title");
return false;
});
$("input:hidden.select").each(function () {
var element = $(this);
if (!($("#s2id_" + element.attr("id")).length)) {
$(element).select2({
// select2 properties...
});
}
});
}
}
SCRIPT BLOCK TO LOAD BASE SCRIPTS ON EVERY AJAX REQUEST
$(document).ajaxComplete(baseScripts);
The problem is after every ajax request the base scripts its called again and them opening dialog multiple times and attaching select2 multiples times too.
How i can detect if widget is already attached into element or class? Execute scripts on every ajax request (like i did) its a bad pratice?
It doesn't make sense that you will want to re-bind the click event and select2 on ajaxComplete
. They should be a one-time binding, in which case, you can just do:
$(document).ready(function(){
baseScripts();
function baseScripts() {
$(".open-dialog").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
alert("Opening dialog");
href = $().buildUrl($(this).attr("href"), "&isAjax=true");
$().createDialog(href, "Window Title");
return false;
});
$("input:hidden.select").each(function () {
var element = $(this);
if (!($("#s2id_" + element.attr("id")).length)) {
$(element).select2({
// select2 properties...
});
}
});
}
});
